Chapter 1166: Comprehensive Improvemen (1/2)
In the central area of the Shatter Battlefield.
The earth shook and split as the Star Behemoth’s humongous skull descended towards the depths of the earth.
A mixture of corpse power and flesh power spread across the cracked earth like a glorious, colorful carpet.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Energies of heaven and earth that filled the central area of the Shatter Battlefield rapidly converged on it, carrying all sorts of auras.
The grand monarchs and God domain experts left the twisted unstable void one after another.
Only three remained.
Lu Yuxin, the head of the wood element sect, Shao Tianyang, the head of the fire element sect, and Mo Heng, the grand elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.
As two of the Five Elements Sect’s five sect leaders, both Lu Yuxin and Shao Tianyang had made their names dozens of thousands of years ago, and were currently at the late God domain.
Compared to them, Mo Heng was slightly weaker, both in cultivation base and prestige.
However, after Mo Heng’s duel against Grand Monarch Primal Demon, not a single person dared to slight him or the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace anymore, even though Ji Cang still hadn’t returned.
Mo Heng, who was gazing down, turned to Lu Yuxin and Shao Tianyang and asked with a confused expression, “You don’t want to leave with the others?”
Shao Tianyang was wreathed in a cluster of eternally burning flames, which seemed to be his compressed fire domain. This made it hard for others to see his appearance.
“That kid has quite some connections with our sect,” Shao Tianyang said in a coarse, wild voice. “He helped Huang Jinnan, my disciple, and Hou Chulan. Even Lu Jiefeng escaped his fate of annihilation in the Domain of Nether Heaven thanks to him.”
Lu Yuxin from the wood element sect chimed in, “He also played a crucial role in bringing those outsider grand monarchs back to their senses this time.”
Hearing these words, Mo Heng put his heart at ease, knowing that they didn’t mean ill.
“However...” Shao Tianyang added, “I’m very curious about the origin of his unique bloodline. Since that bone in his possession belongs to another Star Behemoth, why was he able to refine it and earn its acknowledgment? As the grand elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, you must have run a full examination of him when he first joined your sect, right?”
Lu Yuxin joined the topic. “Mo Heng, you know where he received his bloodline, right?”
Mo Heng shook his head and said with an expressionless face. “I don’t, for now. Is the origin of his bloodline really that important to you?”
“It may not be very important to us, but others may think differently,” Lu Yuxin said.
Mo Heng frowned. “Others? Who?”
“You know what I’m talking about.” With these words, Lu Yuxin sighed. “Forget it. He should be safe with you here. Like Qu Yi said, this is another great opportunity for him. We might as well stop wasting our time here.”
Shao Tianyang added, “You’d better consider what you’ll do about the secret of his bloodline.”
With these words, the heads of the wood element sect and fire element sect bid farewell, and left in search of survivors of their own sects.
After they left, Mo Heng muttered to himself, “Did the two of them notice something? I can’t wrap fire in paper. (Idiom: there’s no concealing the truth) The truth about his bloodline is going to be revealed someday. What should I do?”
He found himself in a dilemma.
...
Deep under the earth’s surface, there seemed to be a whole other world.
As Nie Tian remained connected with the bone due to the activation of Life Blend, the bone continued to gather the countless evil spirits in its surroundings.
He gazed up through the opening in the Star Behemoth’s punctured skull, and saw a shield of glorious aura above him, which gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
He searched his memories, and suddenly remembered the time when he had visited the floating continent, and the colorful energy ribbons in the mysterious huge vortex, through which he had slowly descended from the top continent to the bottom continent.
On the bottom continent, he had discovered a dormant Star Behemoth in the depths of a black sea.
