Chapter 1072: Shocking Discovery (1/2)

In the Void Illusion Mountain Range in the Realm of Split Void.

Under numerous spatial rifts that floated at odd angles, Zhao Shanling sat perfectly still, waiting for Nie Tian’s arrival.

The Star Boat whizzed through the region where meteors fell frequently out of the heavens, and came to a stop before him.

Zhao Shanling’s eyes snapped open, the light of excitement appearing in them. “The Soul realm...”

As the Star Boat landed, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Nie Tian’s mouth. “Where have you been all these years? I heard that you’ve beaten Fan Kai in advancing to the middle Void domain. Congratulations.”

In fact, even Zhao Shanling’s middle Void domain cultivation base wasn’t very impressive to him anymore.

Now, among his subordinates, he had middle Saint domain experts such as Jing Feiyang, Quan Zixuan, and Qu Mingde, and early Saint domain experts such as Zhongli Jian and Dong Qisong. As for Void domain experts, he had so many that he couldn’t even count them all.

He had even gotten into contact with God domain experts after becoming a Son of the Stars, not to mention Saint and Void domain experts.

Therefore, Zhao Shanling’s middle Void domain cultivation base was indeed nothing too special.

However, he had some special feelings towards this man, who he didn’t know if he should call his enemy or friend. He had experienced many things with the man before he became the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

He had always been guarded against him before, but he didn’t feel the need to do so now.

After all, given his current strength, a middle Void domain expert could no longer threaten him.

Somewhat emotional, Zhao Shanling said, “I traveled around. I went to many human domains that I had never been to, and saw scenery I couldn’t even begin to imagine. I even visited three of the Demon realms.”

Nie Tian’s expression flickered with astonishment. “Three Demon realms?”

The human world and the outsider world were separated by the Dead Star Sea. If the four great sects wanted to launch a massive invasion of the outsider world, they would have to march their forces through the Dead Star Sea.

The secret teleportation portals the outsiders had left in the human world many years ago weren’t fit for humans to access. Even though they were connected to the outsider heaven and earth, human bodies were too feeble to handle the teleportation. Very few could survive.

Zhao Shanling chuckled. “The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Demon Realms. I heard that the four great sects are currently engaged in a fierce battle against the outsiders in the Dead Star Sea. They all think that they have to cross the Dead Star Sea to enter the outsider heaven and earth... How laughable.”

With a surprised expression, Nie Tian asked, “Laughable?”

“The three major spatial rifts in the Domain of the Realm of Flame Heaven, the Realm of Mystic Heaven, and the Realm of a Thousand Devastations that the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace sealed are ready-made channels, aren’t they?” Zhao Shanling asked rhetorically.

Nie Tian’s expression flickered. “Are you saying that those three sealed spatial rifts can take us to three different Demon realms?”

Many years ago, the appearance of the Heaven Gates had somehow loosened the spatial rifts, allowing Demons from the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Demon Realms to swarm into the Domain of the Falling Stars through them.

Auden, Anguz, and Nolante had been the commanders of that invasion.

Hua Mu and Nie Tian himself had briefly entered the spatial rifts, and seen the Demon’s main force marching through the Demon Qi-wreathed tunnels.

According to the powerful experts from the major sects in the Domain of the Falling Stars, many had entered those spatial rifts in attempts to explore the heaven and earth that lay beyond them.

However, almost none of them had ever returned.

Of course, there were exceptions, Hua Mu being one.

Not only had he returned alive, but he also had merged with a Heavenly Demonsbane.

These thoughts thrilled Nie Tian. “Are you sure that the three major spatial rifts in the Domain of the Falling Stars are accessible?”

Zhao Shanling nodded gently. “I’m sure, even though the teleportation will be full of dangers. I tried, and found unique accessible passages in each of those spatial rifts.”

Nie Tian’s expression flickered with astonishment. “You traveled back and forth through them?”

Zhao Shanling chuckled. “That’s right.”

Nie Tian practically skipped with joy. “This is brilliant! I should have known that this was doable! Uncle Hua got his Heavenly Demonsbane from a Demon heaven and earth. And Han Yu, my second martial brother who crossed over to the Demons’ side, probably entered the Demon world with the same method!”

As they spoke, the other Sons of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace should have marched into the Dead Star Sea under the leadership of vice sectmaster Chu Rui, and engaged in a fierce battle against the Demons already.

Mou Luo’s death had inspired their resolution to retaliate against the Demons. The contributions of the Sons of the Stars in the operation would determine how Mou Luo’s domains would be divided.

However, even the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had failed to find a way to march their forces directly into the Demon realms and launch a massive killing.

They could only make moves in the Dead Star Sea.

If he could lead his subordinates into the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Demon Realms through the major spatial rifts in the Realm of Flame Heaven, the Realm of Mystic Heaven, and Realm of a Thousand Devastations...

The mere thought of it made Nie Tian excited.

“How strong are the Demons in those three Demon realms?” Nie Tian asked right away.

With a dry smile, Zhao Shanling said, “I came back unscathed. That says enough about how strong the Demons from the three realms are. The strongest Demons in those domains are only at the eighth grade. Any ninth grade grand patriarchs have already moved their clans into the Second Demon Domain. Clans that have tenth grade grand monarchs, or once gave births to tenth grade grand monarchs, have set up headquarters in the First Demon Domain.”
