Chapter 1057: The Descendant of A Grand Monarch (1/2)
BZZZ! BZZZ!
Wherever Nie Tian flew, the rolling flames unleashed by the Flame Dragon Armor turned the starry river into a sea of flames, which spread towards and consumed the Domain-corroding Flames.
Compared to the orange flame spark, the Flame Dragon Armor’s effect on the Domain-corroding Flames was considerably weaker. However, thanks to it, at least Nie Tian didn’t have to worry about the Domain-corroding Flames.
SHEW!
Hou Chulan’s wooden air-transportation spiritual tool, whose speed she had pushed to the limit, finally met with Nie Tian.
It flew right past his side, while Nie Tian plunged into a sea of Domain-corroding Flames behind it like a burning man.
His arrival caused changes to the Domain-corroding Flames that were pursuing Hou Chulan’s wooden air-transportation spiritual tool.
As the Flame Dragon Armor’s flames infiltrated them, the flesh aura connection between them and the Fiend seemed to be suddenly cut off.
The Fiend saw the unfavorable situation and scrambled through different bloodline magics in attempts to summon the Domain-corroding Flames back, lest all of them be devoured by the orange flame spark.
Wreathed in blazing flames, Nie Tian turned his head and summoned the orange flame spark. “Come here!”
At this moment, the Domain-corroding Flames that had chased after the Star Boat had already been completely consumed and refined.
Like a bright lantern, the flame spark whizzed to Nie Tian, flickering with a mysterious fiery light.
As soon as the flame spark arrived, doom fell upon the Domain-corroding Flames the Flame Dragon Armor had locked down in this area.
One cluster after another, they were consumed at an alarming rate.
The flame spark continued to swell and shrink like a man’s belly that undulated as he ate and digested food at a shockingly fast speed.
At this moment, the Fiend realized that he had lost all control over the Domain-corroding Flames.
Facing the joint attack of Jing Feiyang and many other experts, he fled in the direction he had come from, screaming miserably in the outsiders’ language as he did.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
It wasn’t long before a group of Phantasms appeared in the distance where he was heading.
Almost all of them were at the eighth or ninth grade.
Only one was at the seventh grade.
It turned out to be an acquaintance of Nie Tian’s.
That handsome Phantasm stood atop a skull made of countless discarnate souls. Nie Tian’s image suddenly appeared in the prismatic crystal between his eyebrows.
Holding a grayish-brown skull in one hand, he said with a grim face, “It’s you?!”
Nie Tian went blank for a moment before suddenly recognizing the Phantasm. “Froste!”
Then, with a nasty grin, he said, “I didn’t think I’d run into you here. It was you who’s been secretly communicating with Qiu Hanshan from the Earth Spirit Sect about setting up Martial Sister Hou, right?”
He noticed the skull Froste was holding.
It and the one Qiu Hanshan had held were a set of Phantasm communication tools refined with their secret magics.
It was through the two halves of a discarnate soul that had been refined into them that Froste had communicated with Qiu Hanshan.
After hearing Nie Tian’s words, Froste realized that Nie Tian must have discovered Qiu Hanshan’s secret. “Meeting you here, I guess I miscalculated...”
He knew about the Spirit Pearl in Nie Tian’s hand better than anyone. He had suffered losses because of it back when they had their first encounter in the Shatter Battlefield.
“I’m curious as to whether Qiu Hanshan had worked with your people for a long time, or you persuaded him to work for you recently,” Nie Tian said aloud.
Froste snorted disdainfully. “Our connection goes way back, although our cooperation was limited to trades at first. But later, I told him that you killed Qiu Ji and the other Earth Spirit Sect disciples in the Shatter Battlefield. So you played a role in his rebellion as well. Of course, we also threatened to expose his connection with us over the years if he refused to work with us.
“After serious consideration, he eventually agreed to join our cause, and lure the Divine Daughter of the wood element sect of the Five Elements Sect to this place.”
Froste briefly explained the story behind Qiu Hanshan’s rebellion, and pointed out that Nie Tian killing his only son had played an important part in his rebellion.
“You sure are full of surprises, hybrid bastard,” Froste said with a frown. “It’s hard to believe that you actually found a way to deal with the Fiends’ Domain-corroding Flames. I thought that, with the help of the Domain-corroding Flames, we would have been able to take out your entire group without staining our blades with your filthy blood.”
He shook his head, looking rather pitiful.
Surprisingly, a battle didn’t break out right away.
