Chapter 1055: Saving People (1/2)

After activating Life Strengthening, Nie Tian contended against the impurities in the starry river with his vigorous flesh power and exceptionally tough body.

Only a very small portion of the impurities seemed to be acknowledged by his body, and entered through his pores. Not only did they not harm him, but they even turned out to be beneficial to his body refinement.

Floating over Hou Chulan’s air-transportation spiritual tool, he didn’t have even the slightest pain on his expressionless face.

Obviously, the mixed energies in the starry river that could poison human flesh and cause them to die quick deaths weren’t harming him at all.

Hou Chulan look up at him. Astonishment filled her eyes.

It was known that Nie Tian was a hybrid. However, even pure outsiders famous for their tough bodies like Demons and Bonebrutes couldn’t expose themselves directly to the starry river before their bloodlines reached a certain grade.

Outsiders and humans were similar in many ways.

Eighth grade outsiders had rich flesh auras that carried profound wonders running inside of them, which allowed them to envelop themselves in a layer of flesh aura to achieve a similar effect to that of human experts’ domains: keep the impurities in the starry river away.

Even though Hou Chulan couldn’t determine the grade of Nie Tian’s bloodline, she was convinced that it must have not reached the eighth grade yet, however wondrous it might be.

This meant that he couldn’t form a shield yet. However, the fact that he floated in the starry river without being harmed by the impurities in the slightest shocked her once again.

Seeing this, she realized that when He Lianxiong had mocked Nie Tian earlier for having to be protected by a woman, it had actually been his shallow misunderstanding.

Nie Tian had been more than capable of traveling through the starry river without relying on any external help. It was just that he hadn’t felt the need to prove himself to him.

Ruan Qingliu and the other Saint domain subordinates of Hou Chulan all gasped with astonishment as well.

“He’s only at the Profound realm, and still has yet to forge his domain. This is simply unbelievable...”

WHOOSH!

Nie Tian blurred into action. He swiftly avoided clusters of fiercely-burning Domain-corroding Flames before arriving at the area where Yue Yanxi and Jiang Feng, who were only at the Void domain, were.

Both Yue Yanxi and Jiang Feng’s eyes lit up as soon as they saw their savior.

“Star Boat!” Nie Tian summoned his Star Boat, which was exclusively owned by the Sons of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

The moment it appeared, a shield of dazzling starlight formed around it under Nie Tian’s stimulation.

“Come to me!” Nie Tian called out to Yue Yanxi and Jiang Feng.

Overjoyed, the two of them descended towards the Star Boat, withdrawing their domains as they did.

Both of their domains were now filled with clusters of dark-green flames and showing signs of unraveling.

Of all the experts, the two of them had the lowest cultivation bases, which was the Void domain.

Because of this, their domains were melting the fastest under the influence of the Domain-corroding Flames.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Their figures flew onto the Star Boat, canceling their domains at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, they sat down in the Star Boat.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

Clusters of Domain-corroding Flames that were chasing after their domains rapidly gathered around the Star Boat, making contact with its starlight shield.

Nie Tian’s expression flickered.

Even the energy shield the Star Boat had formed by stimulating Star Stones caught the Domain-corroding Flames, and started to burn.

He hastily activated the Star Boat in an attempt to get away from the flames.

What surprised him even more was that the clusters of the Domain-corroding Flames didn’t fuse into Yue Yanxi and Jiang Feng’s bodies with their domains as they entered the Star Boat and withdrew their domains.

Instead, they remained in the starry river and flew ethereally towards the other experts’ domains.

“Such bizarre flames can actually seek domains to attack on their own!”

At that moment, Nie Tian finally understood firsthand why Hou Chulan and the other experts were so terrified of the Domain-corroding Flames.

Aside from their destructiveness, they could also track the unique auras of human experts’ domains, attack them, and switch targets if needed.

For this reason, immediately after the Yue Yanxi and Jiang Feng broke free, the Domain-corroding Flames that were originally attacking their domains gathered towards Hou Chulan’s Saint domain subordinates.

Seeing that the flames had made him their new target, a Saint domain Qi warrior instantly grew extremely grim.

Nie Tian beckoned for him to come join them on the Star Boat. “Alright, don’t be so grim-faced. You can come too.”

Even though the Star Boat wasn’t large, there was enough space left for a few more people.
