Chapter 1059: An Illusory Nether River (1/2)

The eighth grade Phantasm was caught up in a fierce fight against Yue Yanxi, and didn’t even realize that Nie Tian’s move had killed that eighth grade Fiend.

His sea of flesh aura was mixed with wisps of discarnate souls, which were now whizzing about, clashing with flames that shot out of Yue Yanxi’s fire domain.

The intangible discarnate souls seemed to be immune to fire, as they gained ground on Yue Yanxi’s domain bit by bit.

He noticed Nie Tian arriving on the Star Boat, but chose to ignore him.

“This one is only at the Profound realm...” The eighth grade Phantasm muttered, not believing that Nie Tian’s arrival would have any influence on his battle against Yue Yanxi.

Only at the moment the Star Behemoth bone made contact with his flesh aura sea did he gasp with astonishment.

An immense, ancient bloodline aura that was far stronger than his was unleashed from within the bone.

The thousands of discarnate souls in his sea of flesh aura instinctively trembled with fear.

A memory that was branded in the depths of his bloodline was suddenly awakened.

Fear overtook him.

Such fear wasn’t inspired by Nie Tian, but the bone!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Numerous discarnate souls in his sea of flesh aura, which he had refined with his Blood Essence, exploded and scattered like smoke.

Only the aura released by the bone alone caused numerous discarnate souls to die in a flash.

He hastily turned around to escape at the fastest speed possible.

However, now that the bone with an unknown origin had locked onto him, no matter how he changed direction, he couldn’t lose it.

He looked back from time to time, and the bone became larger and larger in his sight.

Soon, he had a feeling that the entire world was filled up by the bone, and he had no place to hide.

He wailed in despair.

POOPH!

The bone went through his heart, causing his sea of flesh aura to scatter and vanish.

As that happened, the prismatic crystal between his eyebrows suddenly lit up. It tore his flesh open and separated itself from his brow in an attempt to escape.

At this moment, the Spirit Pearl whizzed over.

His distinct soul shadow appeared in the prismatic crystal for a brief moment before suddenly growing distorted.

CRACK!

The crystal shattered, exposing the painfully-twisting discarnate soul inside.

As the Spirit Pearl swooped over, the Phantasm’s soul vanished into it, leaving no trace behind.

Then, the Star Boat flew over. As Nie Tian grabbed the Star Behemoth bone with his empty hand, the ring of holding on his finger lit up, taking the Phantasm’s corpse in.

Nie Tian grinned. “Great, a late eighth grade outsider corpse...”

Then, he turned to Yue Yanxi with a relaxed expression. “Alright, you may go help the others. Leave all of the eighth grade ones to me.”

Looking rather embarrassed, Yue Yanxi said, “The battle between us lasted quite a while. Then, you showed up and killed him in a second... I’ve never seen a Profound realm cultivator kill eighth grade Phantasms with such ease.”

Mixed emotions rose in his heart.

He remembered back when he had first learned through the Lei Clan that Nie Tian had passed the Heaven Gate trial and gained the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s legacies. He couldn’t help but congratulate himself for the wise decision he had made.

“Fortunately, I didn’t let my ambitions get the best of me after learning that he had gained the legacies. If I hadn’t done everything within my power to cultivate my relationship with him back then, the Divine Flame Sect and all of the other sects in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries wouldn’t have seen the prosperity there is today. It’s only been a couple decades, and he can already kill outsiders I have trouble killing?

“If he’s given time to grow...”
