Chapter 1300: Seal! (1/2)

Saint domain experts from various domains gathered to Ye Wenhan’s side. After observing attentively for a while with narrowed eyes, they burst into a heated discussion.

“Is that puppet made from a dead Bonebrute?”

“That puppet refined from an eighth grade Bonebrute through a secret method is actually scattering the miasma released by Gupi?!”

“The Bonebrutes surely are the most special race among the myriad races in this starry river.”

“Nie Tian is resourceful indeed!”

Huang Jinnan chuckled and said, “I didn’t know that not only do Bonebrutes have natural advantages when facing Fiends, but they can also handle such fatal toxins.”

Ji Yuanquan smiled and said, “That Bonebrute puppet is actually making a difference.”

“Not necessarily,” Ye Wenhan from the Heaven Span Pavilion said softly. He was the only one who still seemed deeply worried. “Perhaps tenth grade Bonebrutes can simply ignore the toxins released by Gupi, but ninth and eighth grade Bonebrutes might not be able to resist those fatal toxins completely. You’ve got to know that Gupi’s toxins are not only destructive to our domains and fleshly bodies, but our souls as well!”

Everyone’s expressions changed as they heard these words.

“So Nie Tian...” Hou Chulan said.

Ye Wenhan took a deep breath. Staring at the surging miasma in Jiang Yuanchi’s dark gray domain and sensing the strange flesh aura within it, he said with a heavy tone, “Those are only tentacles transformed from the toxic miasma released by Gupi, not its actual tentacles. The Gupi hasn’t brought out its true might yet.”

“How mighty is Gupi really?” He Lianxiong asked.

“What makes it truly powerful are the actual tentacles that come out of its true form,” Ye Wenhan explained. “They’re much more destructive than the tentacles condensed from the poisonous miasma it releases. However, what worries me the most is what kind of relationship Jiang Yuanchi and Gupi have now.”

“Gupi is an intelligent creature, right?” Hou Chulan asked.

Ye Wenhan nodded. “Of course, it’s every bit as intelligent as any higher being we know. So if it has escaped Jiang Yuanchi’s control, or worse, if it has possessed him, then the consequences...”

With these words, he couldn’t help but shiver, his face turning pale with fright.

Ji Yuanquan shook his head repeatedly. “No! That’s impossible! Jiang Yuanchi is the sectmaster of the Shadow Society. He’s sealed Gupi with secret shadow magics for ages. No one understands its might better than him. And he’s a smart man. He wouldn’t let something like that happen.”

Ye Wenhan sighed. “I hope you’re right.”

FIZZ! FIZZ!

In front of the Bone Blood Demon’s chest, the special shield Nie Tian had enveloped himself with would be fixed by his surging flesh power as soon as it was corroded and compromised.

The Bone Blood Demon continued to swing its bony arms, which looked like huge swords wreathed in pale-gray death power, chopping and scattering the miasma.

Failing to condense into tentacles to attack Nie Tian, the miasma that actually touched Nie Tian’s protective shield turned out to be much less destructive.

Surprisingly, with the help of the Bone Blood Demon, Nie Tian’s special shield actually managed to resist the miasma and keep Nie Tian safe in the Seventh Heaven.

Even so, more miasma spread towards the Eighth Heaven.

Nie Tian frowned. “It seems that I can resist Gupi’s toxins to a large extent with this shield of mixed flesh power and power from the flame spark. And the Bone Blood Demon has proven to be able to slow down the miasma as it spreads toward the Eighth Heaven. The only problem is that I still can’t find a way to refine or wipe the miasma out completely.”

Chu Rui was right. Even though the Bonebrutes’ unique features might make them invulnerable to Gupi’s toxins, they couldn’t kill them either.

Even though his Bone Blood Demon could scatter the poisonous miasma, it couldn’t refine or wipe it out.

The miasma would regather once it spread far away from it.

Gradually, Nie Tian noticed something.

The miasma didn’t seem to be concentrated enough to melt his protective shield anymore once it scattered and regathered. Even the miasma itself seemed to notice this.

Therefore, it started to move away from the Bone Blood Demon, and away from him.

Because of this, Nie Tian didn’t have to exert himself to resist the miasma anymore.

The regathered miasma picked up speed as it spread towards the Eighth Heaven, as if it intended to breach the last two defensive lines so it could finally disperse into the Realm of Fragmentary Star.

“This miasma clearly has its own awareness!”

In the Ninth Heaven, Yan Zhan wasn’t elated for long before his expression flickered. He noticed that the miasma scattered by the Bone Blood Demon circled around Nie Tian’s location, then after regathering, pierced towards the border between the Seventh and Eighth Heaven with great force, like an awl.
