Chapter 1105: Demon Suffering a Heavy Blow (1/2)
SHEW!
The cluster of blood-colored patterns blew up Catie’s shriveled shell and returned to the bone.
After fusing back into the bone, it spread and gave birth to more Bloodline Crystal Chains, causing the bone to shine with dazzling blood-colored light.
Catie’s remains, however, were reduced to dust that scattered in the starry river.
Meanwhile, pieces of the three-headed python’s mangled body shrank as their rich flesh aura was gradually absorbed and refined by the bloody grid unleashed by the bone.
Astonishment filled Nie Tian’s eyes.
He had a feeling that the way the bone channeled power from the three-headed python’s remains was rather similar to Life Drain.
“Don’t tell me that my Blood Essence has vested it with the wonders of my bloodline... Or did it have such a wondrous ability the whole time?”
While Nie Tian drifted in thought, Pei Qiqi put the python head away in her ring of holding.
Then, she turned to him and said, “You don’t have to go to the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries with us. We’ll find that teleportation portal and destroy it for you. You should spend more time with Dong Li.”
Before Nie Tian could say anything, Pei Qiqi signaled Yan Zhan, Jing Feiyang, and Xie Qian to leave with her.
With Cardy and Catie dead, the two Demon grand patriarchs that had come to the Domain of the Falling Stars had both been eliminated.
As far as Pei Qiqi thought, the Domain of the Falling Stars wouldn’t face any more invasions within a short time.
However, for all she knew, there were still six Demon grand patriarchs and an accessible teleportation portal in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries that needed to be taken care of.
Yan Zhan and the other experts would be more helpful if they went with her.
“What do you think, Nie Tian?” Yan Zhan asked for Nie Tian’s opinion.
Unlike the perfunctory expression he had before, his face was now filled with heartfelt respect as he spoke to him.
Before, he had treated Nie Tian respectfully simply because of his status as a Son of the Stars, but he had never respected him for his strength and ability.
Catie’s death, however, had changed his opinion of him.
Nie Tian nodded. “You guys should go with Senior Martial Sister Pei.”
Without saying another word, Yan Zhan left the Domain of the Falling Stars with Pei Qiqi, Xie Qian, and Jing Feiyang.
A few minutes later...
Under Nie Tian’s gaze, the three-headed python’s remains were drained of their residual flesh power and scattered like dust in the wind.
A peculiar blood-colored layer appeared over the whole bone before rapidly fusing and vanishing into it.
The bone recovered its original look and size, emanating crimson light. Even though it didn’t grow further, the flesh aura it contained had become much stronger than before.
WHOOSH!
Nie Tian grabbed the bone and returned to the location where the Flame Dragon Armor was refining the flame qilin corpse.
It hadn’t taken part in his battle against Catie.
“My consumption of Blood Essence has been great. I’d better recuperate now.”
The Phantasm grand patriarch corpse he had gained from Hou Chulan still had some residual flesh aura left. With it, Nie Tian started regenerating the Blood Essence he had lost.
A few days later...
A total of fifty drops of Blood Essence were restored to his heart.
Then, with the last remaining Blood Essence within the Phantasm corpse, he generated three more drops of Blood Essence, which he fused into the Star Behemoth bone.
The bone had displayed terrifying might in the recent battle, where it had taken it upon itself to draw his flesh power to slay Catie.
This had proved that his Blood Essence had indeed given a strong boost to the bone’s might.
This greatly spirited him.

At the Seven-star Blue Sea in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.
