Chapter 1036: A Bloodline Tes (2/2)
“But, my bloodline has advanced to the seventh grade, and my bloodline power has been enhanced. Does this mean I can give it a shot now?”
With these thoughts, a wisp of crimson flesh aura that was as fine as a hair flew out of the tip of Nie Tian’s left index finger, and extended through the Voidheaven Boat’s protective shield.
Taken aback, Pei Qiqi exclaimed, “What are you doing?!”
Nie Tian didn’t respond. Instead, his soul awareness interacted with his bloodline power in a profound way, allowing him to sense the surroundings of the wisp of his flesh aura as it extended into the Demon grand monarch’s sea of flesh aura like a tentacle. “Life Drain!” he bellowed inwardly.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
Strange sounds suddenly came from the extending string of blood-colored light. The Demon grand monarch’s light-purple flesh aura that had spread thin over this entire area seemed to be stirred.
The flesh aura around the blood string was rather thin at first, but now, it suddenly concentrated, and became much thicker.
The grand monarch’s soul awareness seemed to loom in the depths of the concentrated flesh aura, along with remote, hysterical roars.
Numerous fragmentary purple crystals rapidly came to form in the purple flesh aura.
Then, they exploded one after another, sending out glorious purple light that quickly vanished.
Vanishing with them was Nie Tian’s wisp of flesh aura.
With narrowed eyes, Nie Tian watched his wisp of flesh aura perish, but didn’t regret making the attempt. “Same result. I can only neutralize a bit of the grand monarch’s flesh aura, but not absorb it. The power within that crystallized flesh aura seems to be the original demonic power. Come to think of it, Cardy’s flesh aura contained the flesh power of another grand patriarch...”
After pondering for a while, Nie Tian reached the conclusion that Demon grand monarchs’ flesh auras contained the so-called original demonic power, which he could only neutralize with his bloodline magics for the time being, instead of refining.
However, when the wisp of his flesh aura had entered the sea of the grand monarch’s flesh aura, the drops of Blood Essence in his heart had suddenly grown restless, as if they had craved Blood Essence Seething.
Not just that, but the green aura in his heart that was branded with the profound truths of his bloodline also yearned for action.
“Perhaps I’ve got to give my bloodline more time to grow and upgrade. I might be able to refine any grand monarch’s flesh aura, along with the original demonic power within it, after my bloodline advances to the eighth or ninth grade.”
The unusual reaction and strong desire of the green aura filled Nie Tian’s heart with hope.
He was more and more convinced that someday, when his bloodline reached a certain grade, it would be as easy as pie for him to refine the flesh aura of a grand monarch.
“I’ve got to find as many high-grade outsider or Ancientbeast corpses as I can after leaving the Domain of Nether Heaven. I need to condense the fifty drops of Blood Essence I need to enter the Blood Realm as soon as possible. I also need to satisfy that green aura’s endless need for flesh power, so that it can enter its next upgrade cycle.”
Nie Tian decided what his next move would be after his escape.
A few days later, Qi Lianshan, who had been traveling at the end of the formation, suddenly flew over to Pei Qiqi. “Several Demon ancient starships are heading in our direction!”
Surprised, Pei Qiqi asked, “How long will it be before they catch up to us?”
Qi Lianshan let out a low sigh. “A day or two. While our speed is limited when traveling in the grand monarch’s flesh aura sea, the Demon ancient starships run on Demon qi. Not only will their speed not be limited, but they can travel even faster here. I don’t know how long it’ll take for us to cross this sea of flesh aura. I doubt that we’ll be able to get out of it before they catch up to us.”
“Unfortunately, we can’t use Void Travel to cross this sea of the grand monarch flesh aura,” Pei Qiqi said, looking frustrated.
After pausing to think for a moment, Qi Lianshan said, “I had a talk with Yang Fan and the others. When the Demon ancient starships catch up to us, we’ll stay and fight them, while you keep going forward with Huang Jinnan, Nie Tian, and Lou Hongyan. Get out of the flesh aura sea as quickly as possible. Only if you get out here safely will we have a chance at surviving this tribulation.”
Upon hearing this, Nie Tian turned to look at Huang Jinnan and Lou Hongyan.
He noticed that Yang Fan and Lou Hongyan’s other subordinates were gathered around them, and having the same conversation.
From the look of it, Qi Lianshan and Yang Fan had long since thought of this move, probably from the moment they had entered the Demon grand monarch’s sea of flesh aura.
The seniors had long since been prepared to give their lives for Pei Qiqi, Huang Jinnan, Nie Tian, and Lou Hongyan.
