Chapter 1350: A Storm Is Brewing (2/2)

Like an icy bolt of lightning, Nie Tian’s gaze shot into the distant void that was dimly lit by stars.

He knew that in the direction he exerted his sight, Demons were gathering and preparing to launch a dreadful battle against him.

“Their rich flesh power can be used as my new source of flesh power will help me enter the ninth grade!” he said with a cold expression. “If I can get rid of Gupi and then kill the outsider invaders, that’ll probably help me accumulate enough flesh power for my bloodline upgrade.

“And if I can kill a grand monarch...”

With these words, Nie Tian licked his lips, a ferocious look appearing in his eyes. However, it was quickly suppressed.

“Since I can’t get my hands on more materials that provide flesh power for now, I’m not getting anywhere with my bloodline, so I guess I’ll have to shift my focus to the changes in my cultivation after I entered the Void domain. I’ve got to try to derive new enlightenment of the Sea of Illusory Stars, which was derived from the Fragmentary Star Incantation.”

With this idea, he gathered his soul awareness and sent it into the fragmentary star mark that recorded Sea of Illusory Stars.

Losing his soul power bit by bit, he carefully studied the profound mysteries within the mark in an attempt to derive new enlightenment.

...

In the Realm of Maelstrom.

Ji Yuanquan sighed softly and said, “Our vice sectmaster is not going to send any powerful experts to join this battle. I’m sorry, but there’s really nothing I can do.”

Face grim, Fan Tianze said, “I noticed that Xuan Guangyu has disliked Nie Tian since the upheaval in the Shatter Battlefield. The Shadow Society must have gained his support. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to unite the Jade Heaven Sect and the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect to launch an operation against the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. That Hong Minghui he backs doesn’t deserve to be the next sectmaster, yet he’s still hell bent on helping him win the competition.”

Ji Yuanquan didn’t dare to join in on this topic.

Fan Tianze was at the middle God domain. Both his battle prowess and status were rarely matched. Therefore, there were things that he dared to say, but others didn’t.

“The Five Elements Sect has sent quite a number of Saint domain disciples to help us,” Ye Wenhan said. “But none of their God domain experts are around. This is the best they can do.”

“What about the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?” Fan Tianze asked. “Nie Tian is their Son of the Stars. Why haven’t their experts arrived yet?”

“That’s because Chu Rui and Zu Guangyao are busy putting down rebellions in their subordinate domans,” Ye Wenhan answered. “As for Luo Wanxiang, he seems to have disappeared for a long time. No one knows where he is.”

Fan Tianze let out a cold harrumph. “Rumor has it that Luo Wanxiang has close connections with the Phantasms. I’d rather he didn’t come.”

SHEW!

Jing Feiyang suddenly flew over from afar.

Upon arriving, he exclaimed, “Vice Sectmaster Luo Wanxiang of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace showed up in the starry river between the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries and the Domain of Heaven Python. He seems to have met Grand Monarch Dark Nether of the Phantasms.”

With a cold smile, Fan Tianze said, “It seems that what Nie Tian said was true. That Luo Wanxiang does have secret connections with the Phantasms.”

“Where did you learn that?” Ye Wenhan asked.

“From White Rose’s men,” Jing Feiyang explained. “They left magical mirrors on many floating meteors. One of them caught sight of Luo Wanxiang’s divine tool flying past. And the direction it flew in is where the Phantasms are gathering.

“In addition, Luo Wanxiang’s All Manifestations Star Banner seems to have become even stronger.”

Fan Tianze pondered for a moment before saying, “Inform the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace of Luo Wanxiang’s appearance. He’s with them. They need to know that he’s in close connection with the Phantasms. And we’ll see what they want to do with him.”

Jing Feiyang nodded. “Got it.”

A few more days went by.

White Rose’s Star Hunters returned with the latest news. Gupi, the Fiend abomination, was spotted in Domain of Flame’s End, which bordered the Domain of Heaven Python, and it no longer tried to hide itself as it dashed towards the Domain of Heaven Python.

Upon learning this, the Demons, Phantasms, and Fiends that had been hovering outside the Domain of Heaven Python showed themselves simultaneously.

Their fleets of ancient starships sailed towards the Domain of Heaven Python in formidable arrays.

A great battle could break out at any moment.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Many teleportation portals in the Realm of Maelstrom operated non-stop as powerful experts arrived through them. There were also experts that arrived through spatial rifts that manifested in the watery curtain in the heavens.

Harboring gratitude towards Nie Tian for what he had done in the Realm of Fire Spirit, the Divine Sons and Daughters of the Five Elements Sect also came to the Realm of Maelstrom.

Their starships berthed in the starry river outside the Realm of Maelstrom.

Hou Chulan spotted Nie Tian as her starship sailed past a floating meteor enveloped in shimmering starlight.

“Hmm? Isn’t that Nie Tian?” With a soft exclamation, she left her starship and flew over.
