Chapter 1161: The Depths (1/2)
“The area where grand monarchs are fighting God domain experts?!” Nie Tian muttered with a bitter smile. He shook his head slightly, realizing that he had underestimated the difficulties they were facing.
Mo Heng and Grand Monarch Primal Demon were currently fighting in the deepest part of the Shatter Battlefield. Earlier, he hadn’t even dared to have his Star Eyes fly too close to them. Instead, he had only remotely sensed the clashes between their power from the perimeter.
No matter how proud he was, he knew that given his current cultivation base and bloodline grade, that battle zone wasn’t for him to enter.
It was a place designated for grand monarchs of different races and God domain human experts.
Those with his cultivation base and bloodline grade would be courting death if they rashly entered it.
Qu Yi, the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society, fixed Nie Tian with a curious look. “Is this bone of yours from a Star Behemoth? What’s special about it?”
Before Nie Tian could say anything, Ji Yuanquan took the initiative to answer the question for him. “Sectmaster, that bone helped Nie Tian see that several Stone Golems were trying to resurrect this Star Behemoth through a frantic sacrificial ritual. It was thanks to him and that bone that we were able to find out what was going on here. However, we were still a step too late.”
Under the Stone Golems’ summons, that Star Behemoth had been awakened, and was breaking out from the depths of the earth.
Qu Yi nodded slightly and muttered, “I see. If this Star Behemoth had its head pierced by another Star Behemoth and died, does that mean we’ll be able to stop its rampage in the Shatter Battlefield by piercing its head the same way?”
He had doubts.
After a moment of hesitation, he fixed Wu Ji with an inquiring look. “Mr. Wu...”
Wu Ji shook his head. “I’m not sure either.”
Qu Yi pondered briefly before suggesting, “I guess I can take Nie Tian to the battle zone. However, it’ll be a dangerous trip. I’m afraid...”
“Are we sure that it can only be put down by a part taken from another Star Behemoth?” Ye Wenhan asked.
RUMBLE!
As they spoke, the Star Behemoth further split the solid earth, revealing more of its enormous back.
More chasms ripped through the earth.
Its arched back rose higher and higher like a mountain range that towered into the clouds, as if it could burst out at any moment.
That tenth grade Stone Golem had somehow vanished into its body, as if he had joined its organs, allowing him to channel and manipulate it with some profound ancient magics.
HOOOOWL! ROOOOAR!!
Heaven-destroying, earth-extinguishing howls and roars echoed out from the depths of the Shatter Battlefield, which was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Devastating spiritual power fluctuations and flesh power storms engulfed that area of the heavens, turning that region into a bloody arena that devoured every living being that entered it.
Qu Yi looked in that direction and said, “Even the grand monarchs have been influenced and lost their minds. The Star Behemoth’s head must be buried there. And the fact that that region is strong enough to withstand the devastating impact of the battles between God domain cultivators and grand monarchs must have something to do with that as well.”
“Would you... take me there, Senior Qu?” Nie Tian volunteered.
Surprised, Qu Yi asked, “Are you sure?”
Nie Tian nodded.
Qu Yi also understood that even though this was the place where the Stone Golems had awakened the Star Behemoth, the Star Behemoth’s vital part didn’t lie here.
If he stayed here, he might be able to inflict heavy damage on the Star Behemoth with the Void Mirror.
However, if he wanted to kill the Star Behemoth and send it back to the depths of the earth, its head where its discarnate soul had regathered would be the key.
“Okay,” Qu Yi said, flashing to Nie Tian’s side in the next moment.
As soon as Nie Tian put his Star Boat away, Qu Yi grabbed him and pulled him into the Void Mirror, where they disappeared like two drops of water disappearing into the sea.
