Chapter 1317: Unparalleled Battle Record (1/2)
Nie Tian had consumed a significant amount of flesh power for his bloodline to break through into the eighth grade and to initiate the fifth phase of Heavenly Wood Heal, Blood Condensing. Before this battle, he had condensed three hundred drops of Blood Essence with the tremendous amount of outsider and Ancientbeast corpses Dong Li and Jing Feiyang had brought to him.
After prolonged, devoted cultivation, he had eventually finished Blood Condensing.
His body was also further strengthened.
However, he was still far from obtaining enough flesh power for his bloodline to advance to the ninth grade.
During this time, he had drained close to thirty ninth grade Ancientbeast and outsider corpses.
The amount of eighth grade ones he had consumed was even greater.
Part of this immense flesh power had been used to practice Heavenly Wood Heal and refine Blood Essence, while another portion had been reserved in his bones, internal organs, and blood.
However, he had consumed as much as eighty percent of his reserved flesh power, along with fifty drops of Blood Essence, in this most recent battle!
Such consumption was simply too great. If he hadn’t faced a Phantasm grand monarch, he wouldn’t have entered his enlarged form at such a heavy cost.
WHOOSH!
As he made a grabbing motion in the air, the Spirit Pearl flew into his palm.
He communicated with its soul once again.
Numerous fragmentary magical symbols were flickering with mysterious light within the isolated heaven and earth inside the Spirit Pearl, as if to solidify it from within.
Meanwhile, the magical symbols would explode from time to time to fuse into the five evil gods.
The five evil gods simply rested in silence in their own regions. Even though they seemed to be slumbering, they actively absorbed the magical symbols, as if they were tracing lost memories through them...
Nie Tian was taken aback.
According to the Spirit Pearl’s soul, it didn’t know the origin of the five evil gods either.
It only knew that when the other two Spirit Pearls had exploded, part of their power and the ancient imprints within them had fused into this one.
Therefore, in a sense, the three of them had become one.
After the fusion, the wondrous cyan heaven and earth inside the Spirit Pearl had experienced subtle changes, allowing the five evil gods to gain power from it that would help them grow and awaken their memories.
The Spirit Pearl’s soul also told him that the battle prowess of the five evil gods, which had experienced a series of transformations and developed fleshly bodies after receiving his Blood Essence and a large number of discarnate souls, had improved significantly.
Even though they hadn’t awakened any peculiar evil magics, they were strong enough to contend against Saint domain experts with nothing but their fleshly bodies now.
“If it can contend against Saint domain experts, it can fight outsider grand patriarchs!”
The information he received from the Spirit Pearl’s soul greatly lifted Nie Tian’s spirits. Furthermore, according to it, the five evil gods were attempting to awaken some sort of lost power.
If they managed to do so, each of them would possess battle prowess equal to that of a ninth grade grand patriarch, if not higher!
Each and every one of them would be able to handle an outsider grand patriarch or Saint domain human expert alone!
“Such strong helpers will definitely give me an edge in my future battles against formidable foes.” Nie Tian thought to himself. However, he also decided that he wouldn’t activate his enlarged form and connect himself to the Star Behemoth bone through Life Blend to fully stimulate his potential if it wasn’t absolutely necessary, even though that would push his battle prowess to the limit.
Yu Suying from the Profound Purity Palace finally recovered from the state where she had almost lost control of herself.
With her sharp eyes, she shot Nie Tian a nasty glance, and exclaimed angrily, “Nie Tian! Can’t you tell friends from foes?!”
Nie Tian smiled. “My apologies, Senior Yu. I didn’t mean it.”
Then, he flew towards the floating meteor where Master Blood Spirit, Li Langfeng, and Hua Mu were standing.
Seeing that he had returned to his true form, Dong Li told the black tortoise to do the same and return to her as well.
Ye Wenhan looked up at the Star Behemoth bone that was floating over Nie Tian and moving along with him as he stepped through the void.
“Such intense flesh power,” he said. “It seems to me that that bone has already become as mighty as an Immortal grade divine tool.”
Nie Tian was taken aback. “An Immortal grade divine tool?”
Ye Wenhan nodded. “That’s right. Of course, that’s how we humans would grade it. But yes, the power it contains and the might it manifests when you wield it tells me that it can be viewed as an Immortal grade divine tool now!”
Nie Tian let out a broad laugh. “Who would have thought that I’d have an Immortal grade divine tool of my own?”
Ye Wenhan’s expression grew complicated as he continued, “Not just that, but that pearl from the Phantasms seems to be an Immortal grade divine tool as well!”
Nie Tian was astonished.
“Plus, the Flame Dragon Armor seems to be getting more and more powerful since you obtained it,” Ye Wenhan added. “Spiritual tools like the Flame Dragon Armor normally don’t have room to improve. However, you’re full of wonders. The way I see it, even though that suit of armor is quite mighty as it is, it’s only a matter of time before it too reaches the Immortal grade.”
Hua Mu gasped with astonishment. “What?!”
