Chapter 1229: Upgrade to Evil Gods (1/2)

FZZZ!

Mo Qianfan suddenly descended into the Primal Yang Sect’s headquarters.

Ning Ji and the other Primal Yang Sect elders were waiting solemnly. Upon seeing him, Ning Ji stepped forward and handed him a ring of holding. “Brother Mo, here are some more spirit beast and outsider corpses that we gathered from the other realms.”

Many Qi warriors from the Domain of Primal Yang standing behind him frowned.

The same went for Yin Xingtian, Zhang Qiling, and Li Wanfa.

After receiving the ring of holding, Mo Qianfan examined its contents with his soul awareness. Then, he nodded and said, “Nice. However, Nie Tian needs a tremendous amount of spirit beast and outsider corpses. Let’s see if we can find more for him.”

“We shall do our best,” Ning Ji said.

“Well...” Zhang Qiling finally couldn’t wait anymore. He frowned and asked, “Brother Mo, what has Nie Tian been doing? I examined that region he’s in with my soul awareness and somehow felt a blood-chilling fear. I have a feeling that he’s doing something that has great influence. He’s not doing anything dangerous, is he?”

Upon hearing this, the Qi warriors from across the Domain of Primal Yang fixed Mo Qianfan with burning gazes.

They also wanted to know the answer to Zhang Qiling’s question.

Saint domain experts usually had keen perception, and could capture even the most subtle changes that happened in a realm.

Even if Nie Tian hadn’t demanded a tremendous amount of spirit beast meat and outsider corpses, they would have noticed that there was something wrong.

Every time they focused their senses in Nie Tian’s direction, they would feel a sense of repression, as if something extremely dangerous was slowly brewing in the region where he was, making them feel uneasy and insecure.

Clearly, Mo Qianfan knew what was happening.

“You’re right. He’s doing something. However, there’s nothing to worry about.” Mo Qianfan was intentionally vague about it. “All you need to do is gather more spirit beast meat and outsider corpses for him.”

After pausing for a brief moment, he turned to Yin Xingtian, Li Wanfa, and Zhang Qiling, and said, “As for you, things are finished here. So if you have other business to attend to, you may leave now.”

“I’ve got nothing to do for now,” Zhang Qiling said.

Yin Xingtian and Li Wanfa remained silent.

“Well, suit yourselves,” Mo Qianfan said with an expressionless face. Then, he told the members of the Heavenly Thunder Sect and the Mo Clan that they might leave the Primal Yang Sect for the Domain of Endless Thunder, while he himself would remain in the Primal Yang Sect and manage the situation for Nie Tian.

...

Strange changes suddenly happened in a region under the seven scorching suns in the Realm of Red Sun.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Whirls of swirling cyan Phantasm Qi suddenly flew out from the Spirit Pearl one after another.

The Spirit Pearl floated over Nie Tian like a misty, cyan sun as it started to release whirls of pure Phantasm Qi that originated from the Nether Realm.

The whirls of Phantasm Qi gradually gathered in the air over Nie Tian, and then morphed into five seemingly bottomless cyan holes that looked like the man-devouring mouths of evil gods.

Nie Tian’s expression flickered with astonishment.

Looking up at the deep, cyan holes, he had a feeling that they might connect to some place he didn’t know.

All of a sudden, the five evil spirits that were only about ten meters tall now flew into the holes one after another.

Most of their bodies entered the holes, yet their heads remained outside, where they continued to swallow the Blood Essence Nie Tian continued to refine and provide for them.

“Hmm?!”

Nie Tian noticed that torrential Phantasm Qi started to spill from the five holes in the air.

The evil spirits then started to breathe in the spilling Phantasm Qi like sponges absorbing water.

As they did, their slightly shriveled bodies expanded bit by bit.

“Where is this Phantasm Qi coming from?” Nie Tian was baffled about the reason for the appearance of the holes and the origin of the Phantasm Qi.

At this moment, a message came through from the Spirit Pearl. “All this Phantasm Qi is coming from the Phantasms’ ancestral land: the Nether Realm. I don’t know why this is happening either, but I know that a profound connection has somehow formed between the Nether Realm and the five regions that were ruled by them.

“Something in the far north of the Nether Realm seems to be interacting with them and providing them with Phantasm Qi.”

Nie Tian’s expression flickered with astonishment. “If these holes connect to the Nether Realm, will the Phantasms notice what’s happening and march here through them?”

“I don’t know,” The Spirit Pearl answered.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

As they were talking, the five evil spirits finished Nie Tian’s Blood Essence once again, and called out for more.

Though reluctant, Nie Tian activated Life Drain to channel flesh power from the piles of spirit beast meat and outsider corpses in front of him to generate more Blood Essence.
