Chapter 1187: Each Has Their Own Fortune (1/2)

In a secluded area in the Realm of a Hundred Battles where the dark stone was kept.

As soon as Nie Tian approached on his Star Boat, his bloodline allowed him to shrewdly sense an immense flesh aura.

An enormous being seemed to be breathing dark power and strengthening itself in the depths of pitch-black darkness underneath him.

Not just that, but there seemed to be something familiar in its aura.

Nie Tian suddenly realized what that enormous being was. “That’s the black tortoise!”

It was none other than the expanded eighth grade black tortoise, which had hatched with the help of his Blood Essence and grown by gradually devouring Dong Li’s dark power.

Therefore, in some sense, it was a child of him and Dong Li.

After fighting numerous battles in different parts of the starry river, Nie Tian had come to a fairly deep understanding of Ancientbeasts and spirit beasts.

However, he still hadn’t figured out the origin of this black tortoise’s mysterious dark bloodline, or what kind of Ancientbeasts might be its ancestors.

Nie Tian’s Star Boat came to stop over a dome of complete darkness that stretched as far as the eye could see.

As he activated his life bloodline and sensed it with rapt attention, he discovered that the black tortoise’s aura suddenly burst forth from the depths of the darkness.

RUMBLE!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering rumble echoed out.

Immediately afterwards, the expanded black tortoise surfaced from the darkness, presenting itself before him like a pitch-black mountain.

Seeing that the black tortoise had become many times larger since the last time they had met, Nie Tian couldn’t help but exclaim softly, “What the...?!”

“It’s almost as large as a full-grown titan now. It’s even larger than the eighth grade dragons and Ancientbeasts I saw in the Dead Star Sea, and its flesh aura seems to be stronger too...

“This is incredible! Don’t tell me there’s something very special about this black tortoise’s origin.

“Is it possible that it carries the bloodline of a Star Behemoth? Could it be the hybrid offspring of a Star Behemoth and some ancient creature?

“Otherwise, it shouldn’t be this large...”

Nie Tian drifted away in thought.

Since that Star Behemoth bone was still in dormancy, he couldn’t awaken it in order for it to answer his questions.

However, the enormousness of this black tortoise made him suspect it carried a Star Behemoth bloodline.

At this moment, Dong Li’s lovely voice came from the darkness. “How come you’re here?”

SHEW!

In a flash, she appeared before him like a dark goddess, wreathed in a faint dark aura.

As she approached, the light around her seemed to be devoured bit by bit.

“Stop!” Only after she called out softy did it stop.

Her curvy waist shook briefly, and the dark aura wreathing her disappeared into her like streams of black water.

Nie Tian was dumbstruck. Only after a moment did he snap out of his daze. He took a deep look at her and said, “Even though I can tell that you’re at the Soul realm, I can’t tell which stage of the Soul realm you’re currently at.”

“I’m in transformation from the middle to the late Soul realm,” Dong Li said with a light tone. “I should be able to enter the late Soul realm in two weeks.”

Nie Tian’s expression flickered. “How did you make such rapid advances in your cultivation?”

“You’ve entered the late Soul realm yourself, haven’t you?” Dong Li responded with a question.

“That’s not the same,” Nie Tian explained. “I found a unique space created by a Star Behemoth in the Shatter Battlefield, where I gathered enough power, but you...”

With a hearty smile, Dong Li said, “You had your fortune, and I had mine.”

A confused look appeared on Nie Tian’s face.

“Let me show you.” With these words, Dong Li pointed down at the boundless darkness underneath them.

The darkness had spread for thousands of kilometers, enveloping everything it had come across, including mountains, rivers, and lakes.

However, as Dong Li wove her hands in the air, she seemed to be able to shape and manipulate such darkness.

Still puzzled, Nie Tian asked, “What is it that you want to show me?”

Dong Li once again pointed at the endless darkness below. “I’ve fused that dark stone we obtained from the Demon realms into my dantian region. It has merged with my dark power core, which allows me to release and withdraw it freely.”
