Chapter 1252: Enemy Bested (2/2)
Eventually, Yin Xingtian drove his Heavenbreaker into Kleist’s heart.
WHOOSH!
Nie Tian cast Starshift, and covered a few dozen kilometers in the blink of an eye.
A misty bloody aura flew out of him to envelop and drag Kleist’s fleshly body into his ring of holding.
“Nie Tian, Kleist is a ninth grade grand patriarch,” Yin Xingtian reminded him. “If you fail to refine his heart completely, he may find an opportunity to come back to life.”
“Don’t worry. Now that I have him, there’s no way he’ll come back to life.” Full of confidence, Nie Tian released his Spirit Pearl. An attractive force was born within it as it floated to Mo Qianfan’s location.
Wisps of residual soul power from the spirits that had been bombarded and annihilated by Mo Qianfan’s lightning magics were absorbed by the Spirit Pearl.
Nie Tian didn’t try to seize the prismatic crystal Yu Suying had penetrated with her Heaven-purging Divine Light, but rather let her take it.
Rubbing the prismatic crystal, Yu Suying said, “This thing contains all of the secret magics and incantations Kleist had ever derived. It’s his sea of knowledge and the key to binding his body and soul. Too bad that it’s been destroyed by my Heaven-purging Divine Light. Otherwise, it would be worth a lot.”
Just like that, a peak ninth grade Phantasm who had had hopes to advance to the tenth grade within a short time perished under the three’s joint effort.
Yin Xingtian and Mo Qianfan looked at her in silence.
The wondrous illusory flower behind Nie Tian had also disappeared when Luo Wanxiang had escaped.
However, as Nie Tian examined himself with his soul awareness, he saw that the magical flower that had taken root in his star power core was having more and more new branches grow out of it.
From the look of it, new blossoms could grow out of those new branches, given enough stimulation.
Apparently, the Nine Stars Flower’s limits had been broken!
WHOOSH!
The Spirit Pearl that was floating and emanating cyan light over him spun slowly as heaven-shaking, earth-toppling changes took place inside of it.
Each of the five evil gods dominated a section of the Spirit Pearl’s internal world. They first refined and absorbed Kleist’s five evil spirits, then separated the different negative emotions from the discarnate souls and vicious spirits they had captured and pulled into the Spirit Pearl.
After they fully absorbed the evil spirits and their immense power, a curious layer formed over their fleshly bodies.
It seemed that it could stimulate more changes in them and allow them to further upgrade!
“Hmm?!” Nie Tian suddenly noticed that the Spirit Pearl’s soul had expanded and morphed into a scary-looking soul-form being, and that it was currently holding another soul down.
The Spirit Pearl’s soul’s two large eyes were like two clusters of ghostly fire, burning in empty sockets.
The soul being held down by it was struggling and twisting with cyan sparks rising from it, as if it was being refined.
Nie Tian went blank briefly before he suddenly realized what was going on.
That was the soul of Kleist’s Spirit Pearl. After the destruction of the magical tool, its soul was now being refined and absorbed.
That was when Nie Tian realized that the five evil gods and his Spirit Pearl’s soul had the situation under control.
All of the wonders of Kleist’s destroyed Spirit Pearl had been received and were being absorbed by his Spirit Pearl.
“It seems that both the Nine Stars Flower and Spirit Pearl have upgraded and become stronger.” Nie Tian cast his eyes down and muttered in a low voice, anticipating what other surprises such upgrades would bring to him after the changes stopped.
Yin Xingtian from the Streamcloud Sword Sect adjusted himself. After calming himself down, he turned to Yu Suying and said with a complicated look in his eyes, “Sectmaster Yu, did you give us Profound Purity Elixir and join hands with us just to fight off Luo Wanxiang so that your subordinates could survive this encounter?”
“Partly, yes,” Yu Suying answered.
“So there’s another reason?” Yin Xingtian asked.
Yu Suying took a look at Nie Tian, her eyes slowly lighting up. “Yes, him.”
After going blank for a brief moment, Yin Xingtian seemed to realize something. With a strange look at the corner of his mouth, he said, “You want something from him too?”
“Sectmaster Mo, did he really help you enter the God domain?” Yu Suying asked, taking a glance at Nie Tian.
Without any hesitation, Mo Qianfan nodded strongly. “That’s right. I couldn’t have broken through into the God domain without his help. As you know, my cultivation potential and talent aren’t among the top. Together with the limited time I spent at the Saint domain, they made my chances at successfully advancing to the God domain very slim. If I hadn’t been under heavy pressure from Yuan Jiuchuan the Thunder Devil, I would never have made the attempt so eagerly.”
“Neither you nor Patriarch Yin Xingtian are easy to fool...” Yu Suying muttered to herself. “It’s hard to believe that both of you have decided to offer Nie Tian your loyalty and fight for him no matter what...”
She pondered and recalled the peculiar auras and special tools he had manifested earlier, such as the Spirit Pearl and that wondrous flower.
Moments later, she turned to Nie Tian and said, “I myself am not in a hurry to break through into the middle God domain. And I think I’ll benefit from longer accumulation. However, I have a junior martial sister who’s been stuck at the late Saint domain for many years, and wanted to try to enter the God domain recently.”
