Chapter 1041: A Lost Battle (2/2)

According to Wei Lai, while Xuan Guangyu had escorted Lu Jiefeng’s discarnate soul back to the Five Elements Sect, the other God domain experts, who had consumed significant amounts of power, had also returned to their headquarters without delay.

They were either taking time to recover their strength, or directly sent off to other battlefields to defend against outsider invaders.

Everyone felt frustrated by the fact that the battle of the Domain of Nether Heaven had ended in a loss for humanity.

Shortly afterwards, Wei Lai arranged for Nie Tian, Fang Yuan, and Sikong Cuo, the three Sons of the Stars, to return to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

At the inter-domain teleportation portal inside a grand palace in Fragmentary Star City.

“Battles are still ongoing in the Dead Star Sea and the other invaded domains,” Wei Lai said. “The three of you have suffered casualties and sustained injuries to different extents during the battle of the Domain of Nether Heaven. So don’t worry about joining the other battles for the time being.

“Meanwhile, the outsiders and the Nether Spirit Society and Death Curse Sect disciples you’ve killed, as well as any significant contributions you’ve made in this battle, will translate into contribution points and be awarded to you after we communicate with the Void Spirit Society and the Five Elements Sect.

“Alright, you may return to your own domains now, and check if there is any hidden danger.”

Afterwards, the three Sons of the Stars stepped out of the grand palace and summoned their respective Star Boats.

Sikong Cuo left without saying a word.

Nie Tian, however, turned to Fang Yuan and asked, “Do you have any high-grade outsider corpses, senior martial brother? I’m planning to buy as many as I can find.”

“I have some, but not a lot,” Fang Yuan said. After a moment of pondering, he added, “How about you take the ones I have, and I’ll try and see if I can get you more.”

“That’d be great,” Nie Tian said. “I’ll pay for them with spirit jades.”

Fang Yuan smiled and shook his head. “There’s no need for that. You did me a great favor by refining Grand Patriarch Cardy’s residual flesh aura and healing my clanmaster’s domain.Consider these outsider corpses my way of saying thank you. In fact, why don’t you go ahead and return to your base first? I’ll have my people take the other outsiders corpses to you in the Domain of Heaven Python after I’m finished.”

“Hmm... That’d be awesome. Many thanks.” Nie Tian didn’t refuse his kind offer.

After that, they parted ways.

Nie Tian returned to the Vast Heaven Pavilion, where he activated the teleportation portal and arrived in the Realm of Split Void. Then from there, he teleported to the Realm of Maelstrom in the Domain of Heaven Python.

Of the three domains that belonged to him, the Domain of Heaven Python was the most developed and powerful. After Kan Zhisheng had established another inter-domain teleportation portal in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, the three domains had become interconnected.

The Realm of Maelstrom remained his base.

After his return, as the ‘manager’ of the Domain of the Falling Stars, Li Langfeng, who had recently entered the early Soul realm, came to report the latest situation to him.

Yue Yanxi, who had entered the late Void domain, also reported to him from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.

Jing Feiyang, who had derived brand new enlightenments from the Heavenly Talisman and broken through into the middle Saint domain, also came to see him.

Meanwhile, Qu Mingde, Quan Zixuan, and the sectmasters of the Beast-controlling Sect and the Divine Flame Sect were still in secluded cultivation, trying to make breakthroughs in their cultivation with the help of what they had gained from the Realm of Remote Heaven.

Through Li Langfeng, Yue Yanxi, and Jing Feiyang, Nie Tian learned that none of his domains had been invaded by outsiders or crooked human sects.

Even so, Jing Feiyang and the others were deeply worried, and urged Nie Tian to raise his guard after learning about the battles that were taking place in the invaded domains.

They all felt a lot of pressure after learning that even Lu Jiefeng, a God domain expert from the Five Elements Sect, had been struck down, with only a wisp of his soul escaping the battlefield.

Jing Feiyang sighed. “From the look of it, humanity will experience turbulence over a long period of time. The outsiders have finally found a way to unravel us: from the inside. The Death Curse Sect and Nether Spirit Society are only the rats we know of. There must be plenty of others we haven’t seen that are and will continue to undermine us.”

“We’re in a perilous time. I wonder how long it’ll last.”

With a profound look in his eyes, Nie Tian said, “I’m going into secluded cultivation and try to break through into the Soul realm. I need you to look after your domains during this time. Kill any outsiders or ill-intended humans who dare to cause trouble!”
