Chapter 1057: The Descendant of A Grand Monarch (2/2)
As Froste’s subordinates arrived successively, the human experts that had been chasing after the Fiend held their place.
On the one hand, they were waiting for Hou Chulan and the other experts to arrive.
On the other hand, they knew that the Domain-corroding Flames hadn’t been completely cleansed yet. If they started a battle now, the remaining flames might still cause them trouble.
Meanwhile, Froste didn’t make any moves because he was waiting for the rest of his people to arrive.
Far less composed than Froste, the Fiend exclaimed, “Young monarch! My Domain-corroding Flames are being refined and consumed! Please give the order to fight now!”
Domain-corroding Flames were very precious and rare, even throughout the entire Fiend race. His heart ached as he watched them being absorbed by the orange flame spark.
“Considering that they’ve failed to play the role they’re supposed to, there’s no point in keeping them anymore. Let them perish.” Froste said coldly. “It was your words that with the help of those flames, I’d be able to kill any human force that dares to come here without breaking a sweat.
“Take a look for yourself. These Five Elements Sect disciples’ domains are only slightly damaged. They didn’t unravel a single domain!”
The Fiend fell indignant listening to his mocking words. “Young monarch, our Domain-corroding Flames have never failed before when fighting humans in the starry river. How could I know we’d encounter this freak who actually had something that can refine Domain-corroding Flames this time?”
Nie Tian’s expression flickered. “Young monarch...”
He hadn’t expected that Froste, who he had first met in the Shatter Battlefield, actually came from such a powerful background.
Only the descendants of tenth grade grand monarchs could be referred to as young monarchs.
Froste’s father must be a Phantasm grand monarch. No wonder he had so many powerful Phantasms as his subordinates.
“Froste, descendant of Grand Monarch Nether River…” Hou Chulan said softly. “I can’t believe it was you who instigated Qiu Hanshan to set me up.”
Nie Tian’s expression flickered with astonishment. “Grand Monarch Nether River?!”
Unlike Grand Monarch Dark Nether who had shown up in the Domain of Nether Heaven, Grand Monarch Nether River was generally regarded as the most powerful Phantasm!
While Grand Monarch Dark Nether was at the early tenth grade, Grand Monarch Nether River was said to have entered the late tenth grade a hundred thousand years ago!
Grand Monarch Nether River was also the Chief of the entire Phantasm race.
Even across the countless domains and numerous races in this starry river, Grand Monarch Nether River was a revered overlord.
Throughout the human race, only the sectmasters of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, Void Spirit Society, Heaven Span Pavilion, and Five Elements Sect could match Grand Monarch Nether River in battle.
Even vice sectmasters like Luo Wanxiang couldn’t be placed on par with Grand Monarch Nether River.
Outsiders and humans had fundamental differences in rearing descendants.
Reproduction came easy to humans.
However, powerful human experts could have dozens of children, yet still not give birth to a single one with outstanding talent.
For that reason, none of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Void Spirit Society, or the Heaven Span Pavilion chose future sectmasters from the children of their current sectmasters.
After all, the odds of powerful experts’ children to be talented were terrible.
Meanwhile, reproduction didn’t come easy to outsiders. The higher their grade, the harder it was for them to reproduce.
It was fairly easy for sixth and seventh grade outsiders to reproduce, but it was much more difficult for eighth and ninth grade outsiders to reproduce. It was even more difficult for tenth grade grand monarchs to reproduce.
However, every descendant of a tenth grade grand monarch would be born with incomparable talent.
Therefore, descendants of grand monarchs like Froste would enjoy much better odds at becoming grand monarchs themselves than lowborn Phantasms.
The prosperity of outsider clans had close connections to their ancestors’ bloodlines.
For this reason, ancient outsider clans would usually thrive over very long periods of time. The descendants of their grand monarchs would carry and pass on powerful bloodlines generation after generation.
As Grand Monarch Nether River’s descendant, Froste had great odds at becoming a Phantasm grand monarch after a few dozen millennia, as long as he didn’t die prematurely.
As Nie Tian’s train of thought came to this point, it suddenly occurred to him that Pergson the Bonebrute and Gutas the Demon, who he had met in the Shatter Battlefield, were probably grand monarch descendants as well.
“No wonder Pergson holds that unique treasure, the Bone Shatterer,” Nie Tian thought to himself. “Even the ninth grade Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher prioritized his safety in the Domain of Nether Heaven. His father must be a Bonebrute grand monarch, perhaps Grand Monarch Withered Bones.
“But my father who gave me this unique bloodline... Is he a human? Or a hybrid just like me?Thanks to my bloodline, I managed to emerge triumphant repeatedly, become a Son of the Stars, and earn my current reputation and strength.
“Grand Elder Mo Heng seemed to attach great importance to it after finishing examining my Blood Essence. Did he find something?”
