Chapter 1149: A Bolt from the Blue (1/2)

Wu Ji’s words rendered Nie Tian speechless.

Blood was still flowing from Wu Ji’s nostrils and the corners of his eyes.

His originally gray hair was now snow-white, and the deep wrinkles in his face gave him a worrisome, frail look.

Wu Ji tried to recover a calm state of mind as he said to Nie Tian, “A calamity is going to sweep the Shatter Battlefield.

“I couldn’t see the process. All I saw was the result.

“But the result is simply terrifying...”

Nie Tian struggled to calm himself as he hurried to summon his flesh power to heal Wu Ji before Qi Lianshan returned.

Wisp after wisp of flesh power that carried the power of life infiltrated Wu Ji’s flesh and blood, restoring life force to him.

Wu Ji slowly sat up and said, “You don’t have to extend my lifespan with your precious Blood Essence yet. It only cost me a few hundred years of lifespan, which is something I can afford. Soon, I’ll be able to break through into the Saint domain and gain extra years. I won’t have to worry about my lifespan in the near future.”

With these words, he cast the mysterious time power again.

Time seemed to fly backwards, as if to recover the past years.

His snow-white hair grew gray again. The deep wrinkles on his face seemed to be gently flattened by an invisible hand.

Within a very short time, he recovered his previous appearance. The only difference was that he had clearly consumed a significant amount of power.

“Master, I can always regenerate Blood Essence with high-grade outsider and Ancientbeast corpses,” Nie Tian explained.

Wu Ji smiled weakly. “I know that. But don’t you have a shortage of those corpses? Don’t worry. I’ll find you when I face a serious lifespan problem.”

Nie Tian pondered briefly, then nodded in agreement.

Moments later, a spatial rift appeared in the sky, and Qi Lianshan returned.

“How did it go?” Qi Lianshan asked with wide eyes.

He could tell that Wu Ji was very weak at this moment.

He had clearly overconsumed his spiritual power and soul power, and was mentally exhausted as well.

“Let’s go back first,” Wu Ji said.

“Sure.”

Under Qi Lianshan’s leadership, the three of them returned to the mountaintop.

Many Divine Sons and Daughters, Sons of the Stars, legacy disciples, and elders of the four great sects were gathered around the mountaintop, waiting.

As soon as Wu Ji showed up, everyone fixed their eyes on him.

Wei Lai approached him and asked eagerly, “Well...?”

“I didn’t see Grand Elder Mo Heng die in battle,” Wu Ji answered.

Overjoyed, Wei Lai said, “That must mean he’s going to survive. That’s great! As long as he survives, given our sect’s rich resources, we’ll be able to heal him no matter how serious his injuries are.”

Wu Ji glanced over the people in front of him, a pitying look filling his eyes. “I didn’t see him die… But I saw you die, most of you.”

“What?!” All of the experts that were only gathered in this place to learn whether Mo Heng was going to survive his duel instantly grew restless.

Many Saint domain experts and chosen ones from the Five Elements Sect, the Void Spirit Society, and the Heaven Span Pavilion that were originally floating around the mountaintop landed on the mountaintop.

All of their gazes locked on to Wu Ji like blazing lightning bolts and sharp blades.

Wu Ji took a deep breath and took his time to explain, “I didn’t see what happened. I only got to sneak a peek at the results. The result was that the Shatter Battlefield was completely broken. Even the central area, which should be the strongest, broke into pieces. A devastating battle seemed to have taken place.

“The dead were everywhere.

“Humans, Demons, Phantasms, Fiends, Bonebrutes, Floragrims, and dragons...

“In that peek, I didn’t see a single living being. Scattered corpses and dead silence was all there was. I couldn’t even imagine what had happened.”

Wu Ji painted a picture of the future he had seen to everyone, his tone a bit strange.

Complete silence fell on the mountaintop, which was now filled with experts from the four great sects.

However, each and every one of them had flickering eyes. Some suspected the truthfulness of Wu Ji’s words. Some had no doubt, but pondered what upheaval might happen to lead to such a catastrophic result.

Only after a long while did Wei Lai break the silence. “If that’s true, then heaven-shaking, earth-toppling changes must be happening in the Shatter Battlefield.”

He turned to the experts from the other three sects and said with all seriousness, “This is a matter of paramount importance. We have to inform our God domain seniors that are observing the battle in the heart of the Shatter Battlefield!”

Many experts nodded vigorously and left without the slightest hesitation. “That’s right!”
