Chapter 1164: Neutralization (1/2)
Sagging his head, Feng Beiluo said with a frustrated tone, “Martial Uncle.”
The gruesome old man was covered in white hair, which made him look like a shriveled white ape. The pale flames flickering in the depths of his eyes were none other than what Feng Beiluo had referred to as corpse flames.
This eccentric old man gave people a similar feeling as Han Yu.
While Han Yu’s merge with the Demon Eyes Flower had made him half-human, half-Demon, this man who Feng Beiluo referred to as ‘Martial Uncle’ looked like a mix of human and ghoul.
Even though he had the appearance of a ghoul, his eyes glittered with intelligence, unlike most ghouls, which had glazed eyes.
Besides that, he exuded strong soul fluctuations. Not only could he speak, but he could also cast all sorts of exquisite incantations.
“That Qu Yi from the Void Spirit Society messed up my plan!” The eccentric old man cursed. “He eliminated the wisp of sub-soul I left in that Star Behemoth’s skull!”
Feng Beiluo frowned, his face suddenly turning grim. “Qu Yi?! If it was him, we need to get out of here now, Martial Uncle!”
The half-man, half-ghoul old man berated, “Why didn’t you think of a way to get rid of him? Didn’t Ji Cang from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace fall into your trap, and is currently stranded in an unknown area of the starry river?”
“Qu Yi is different,” Feng Beiluo said, looking somewhat impatient. “His Void Mirror allows him to travel freely through space and across countless domains. It even allows him to travel to and from space disruption zones, and use them as transit points. Perhaps Ji Cang is the only person throughout this starry river that has what it takes to defeat Qu Yi.
“However, it’s impossible to trap him in an unknown part of the starry river.
“Ji Cang can’t, we can’t, no one can.”
Just as the eccentric man from the Heavenly Corpse Sect was about to say something, he let out a muffled groan.
The corpse flames flickering in the depths of his eyes suddenly grew dim.
Feng Beiluo didn’t dare to waste another second. “Let’s go!”
He grabbed the old man and dragged him into the secret spatial joint, which flickered a few times before vanishing completely.
Moments later.
The Void Mirror suddenly appeared in this very place. Qu Yi, the sectmaster of the Void Mirror, stepped through it immediately afterwards. “This is it.”
As the Void Mirror reflected everything in its surroundings, Qu Yi activated his all-capturing perception. He could still sense the residual corpse flames and corpse power in the air.
“Two very rich and pure auras... One of them clearly belongs to Feng Beiluo, but who does the other one belongs to?” Qu Yi said with a pondering expression. “Did they sense that I was on my way here, and thus evacuated, leaving the Star Behemoth behind?”
Inside the Star Behemoth’s humongous skull.
With his hands on the bone, Nie Tian was still burning his Blood Essence drop after drop under the magical effect of Blood Essence Seething.
He was still immersed in the curious feeling of rampaging across the starry river as a Star Behemoth during the Primal Era.
However, shortly after Qu Yi eliminated the wisp of sub-soul the eccentric patriarch from the Heavenly Corpse Sect had left in the Star Behemoth’s head, the countless evil spirits that kept converging on it from every corner of the Shatter Battlefield seemed to suddenly lose their purpose.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
A large portion of them were drawn to the bone Nie Tian was holding, and were rapidly drained of their soul power.
Fewer and fewer evil spirits swarmed towards the center of the skull.
CRACK! CRACK!
Bloodcurdling munching sounds suddenly came from the distance, catching Nie Tian’s attention.
He could also occasionally hear sounds of the tenth grade Stone Golem’s stony body being crushed.
For some reason, even though he couldn’t see it, he knew that even that Stone Golem leader had become just another sacrifice by whoever wanted to turn this dead Star Behemoth into the mightiest Heavenly Corpse ever.
