Chapter 1312: Endless Demand (1/2)

The black tortoise’s bloodline was at the eighth grade. It relied on dark power and flesh power to make advances in its bloodline.

Dong Li was well-aware of this.

The dark stone that had been obtained from the Demon realms carried the profound truths and origin of dark power. It could also gather dark power on its own. This made it a supreme dark treasure.

It had provided both her and the black tortoise with great help.

Even though it had played an important role in the black tortoise’s bloodline upgrades, the strengthening of its body was also necessary if it wanted to make further advances in its bloodline.

“This ring of holding...” As a thought entered Dong Li’s mind, an enormous Ancientbeast corpse floated out of the ring.

The black tortoise instantly grew excited.

“That’s a ninth grade Scarlet Turtle!” Hua Mu exclaimed, staring at the red turtle that was the size of a mountain peak. Mysterious fiery patterns could be seen on its vast shell, as if the gigantic Ancientbeast corpse was still blazing.

“Ye Wenhan got that ninth grade Scarlet Turtle out of the depths of the Heaven Span Pavilion’s vault,” Jing Feiyang explained. “Its heart was carved out and sealed within a special vessel. As you know, the intact hearts of ninth grade spirit beasts and outsiders have to be contained via special means. Otherwise, they might find a way to come back to life.”

“So it’s a chelonian Ancientbeast. No wonder you’re so excited.” Dong Li muttered.

“Your tortoise is wreathed in dark power, while that Scarlet Turtle is a fire-attributed Ancientbeast...” Jing Feiyang said, looking baffled.

“What it needs is not the Scarlet Turtle’s flame power, but rather the flesh power that remains in its flesh and blood.” With these words, Dong Li pondered briefly, then nodded at the black tortoise.

Seeing this, the black tortoise skipped with joy.

WHOOSH!

Its body instantly expanded a thousand times over.

In the blink of an eye, it became as huge as the Scarlet Turtle.

Jing Feiyang and Hua Mu looked at it with rapt attention, and felt that even though the black tortoise was only at the eighth grade, it seemed to be more mysterious than the dead ninth grade Scarlet Turtle.

The dark magical patterns on the black tortoise’s shell seemed to form a natural spell formation that looked like a bottomless abyss. Only by looking at them, people would feel deeply disturbed, as if their souls were sinking.

The black tortoise stood on the back of the Scarlet Turtle, with its giant feet tightly adhering to the Scarlet Turtle like magnets.

SHEW!

It took the Scarlet Turtle and flew off to find a secluded floating meteor to refine its residual power.

“You won’t have a problem if I take that Scarlet Turtle, right?” Dong Li asked.

Jing Feiyang laughed. “Nie Tian shares everything with you. Besides, you’re his fiancee. That tortoise of yours is amazing. It’ll be a good thing for you and Nie Tian if it gets stronger.”

He had witnessed the black tortoise’s amazing abilities on the floating continent.

Back then, it had unleashed its dark power to create ‘Evernight’, which had left a deep impression on him.

For a moment, he had even suspected that the black tortoise carried a Star Behemoth bloodline.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Corpses of ninth grade Ancientbeasts that were the size of mountains, along with Demons, Phantasms, Birdmen, and Blackscales, were taken out from within the rings of holding one after another.

More than a dozen of them floated to Nie Tian’s side.

FZZZ!

Translucent and sparkling strings that were as scarlet as blood shot out of Nie Tian.

Nie Tian activated Life Drain once again.

Jing Feiyang and Hua Mu’s expressions flickered.

“Such strong flesh power!”

“The intensity of his flesh aura is even higher than that of most eighth grade outsiders and Ancientbeasts!”

As far as they knew, Nie Tian’s bloodline had only entered the eighth grade recently.

However, none of the eighth grade Ancientbeasts or outsiders they had ever encountered had impressed them the way he did.

Jing Feiyang seemed somewhat worried. “More than a dozen ninth grade Ancientbeast and outsider corpses... Even without their hearts, they contain a tremendous amount of flesh power. Can Nie Tian really absorb all of their residual flesh power? Won’t such massive power overwhelm him?”

Hua Mu’s expression grew complicated.

He had been here for some time. He had witnessed numerous spirit beast and outsider corpses be drained of their residual power and rapidly decay.

However, Nie Tian had never shown any sign of reaching the end of his cultivation session.

It seemed to him that, like a bottomless pit, Nie Tian could absorb however much flesh power he was given.

Dong Li smiled heartily. “Don’t worry. Nie Tian can take it. I guess there are positive sides to this Gupi crisis. Ancient great sects like the Five Elements Sect, the Void Spirit Society, and the Heaven Span Pavilion would only be willing to contribute their ninth grade Ancientbeast and outsider corpses at times like this.”

Jing Feiyang took a moment to think, and asked, “Will these be enough?”

Dong Li shot a glance at Nie Tian. After a moment of pondering, she said, “I doubt it.”

Jing Feiyang was flabbergasted. “Even these won’t be enough for him?”

Dong Li nodded slightly.

“If that’s the case, how about I return to the Realm of Maelstrom and tell people Nie Tian’s experiencing some unforeseen event in his secluded cultivation, and will need far more flesh power materials than this?” Jing Feiyang suggested.

“Sure, try to squeeze as many high-grade spirit beast and outsider corpses from the ancient great sects as possible,” Dong Li agreed. “Only they have large numbers of ninth grade ones.”

Jing Feiyang nodded, and left in a hurry.

...

Two weeks later.
