Chapter 1136: An Unforeseen Encounter (1/2)

During the Primal Era, the Star Behemoths’ strength had been unmatched. They had preyed on all sorts of powerful beings, and even realms.

They had been the sole overlords of this starry river in that period of time.

Nie Tian hadn’t expected that the Star Behemoth bone he owned could even channel power from the dashing lights in a space disruption zone like this one.

After all, those colorful dashing lights were extremely deadly.

Everyone, including Zhao Shanling, had been rather apprehensive about them. Pei Qiqi, who held that Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure, was the only one who felt at ease in such a peculiar environment.

For this reason, Nie Tian and the others had remained vigilant and avoided the dashing lights the whole time.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

But now, many of the glorious lights that shot by them were either absorbed by the Star Behemoth bone or fused into the dark stone Dong Li had just brought out.

However, as Nie Tian observed with rapt attention, he soon realized that not all of the dashing lights were channeled by the bone or the dark stone.

Some of them shot past the bone and the dark stone and vanished into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Dong Li’s eyes glittered with amazement as she looked unblinkingly at the dark stone. Then, she exclaimed from a distant place, “What on earth are these lights in space disruption zones? I have a feeling that these ones absorbed by the dark stone are very helpful to it.”

Nie Tian smiled bitterly. “To tell you the truth, I don’t know what they are either. Those who can answer that question for us are currently out of touch.”

Even so, he didn’t seem worried gazing at the flickering portal. His instincts told him that Pei Qiqi was still alive.

“Let’s not fixate on what these dashing lights are for now,” Nie Tian added. “Whatever they are, they don’t seem to be harmful in any way to your dark stone or my bone.”

Dong Li nodded in agreement.

The two of them then floated in the starry river and watched the bone and the dark stone capture the glorious lights that streaked by, while recovering their power with all sorts of spiritual materials they took out from within their rings of holding.

This showed how strangely special space disruption zones were.

Being here, human Qi warriors would rapidly lose their spiritual power, whatever their attribute, even if they didn’t do anything.

The higher their cultivation bases were, the faster they would lose their spiritual power.

Meanwhile, there didn’t seem to be any spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth or other refinable power here. Even Nie Tian’s Nine Stars Flower, Godspirit Tree, and flame spark couldn’t gather power here as they could elsewhere.

He could only rely on the spiritual materials in his rings of holding.

An unknown period of time passed.

Ancient corpses started floating out from the depths of the curious clouds.

Nie Tian’s eyes snapped open. With a puzzled expression, he looked closely at the ancient corpses, while examining them with his bloodline power.

Soon, he put his heart at ease. “There isn’t a single shred of flesh power within these corpses. They don’t even carry any corpse auras. This means they’re completely useless. And most of them belong to humans, with only a few outsider ones.”

This wasn’t the first trip he had taken to a space disruption zone.

Last time, when he had come here with Zhao Shanling, they had seen a similar scene.

He knew that this was the fate of those who stumbled into a space disruption zone and people like Yuan Jiuchuan, who were banished to a space disruption zone, if they failed to find a way out before running out of their spirit stones and spiritual materials.

These corpses were bereft of any value. A mere touch would reduce them to ashes.

Not just humans, even outsiders would lose all of their residual flesh power shortly after their deaths in a space disruption zone like this.

BZZZ!

Nie Tian lifted his hand, and a beam of blood-colored light shot out of his fingertip.

The shriveled corpses of a few elegantly-dressed Qi warriors scattered like ashes in the wind as soon as the beam of blood-colored light shot through them.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

Several Phantasm and Bonebrute corpses also crumbled upon contact with the beam of blood-colored light.

At this moment, Dong Li also awoke from her cultivation.
