Chapter 1362: An Old Eccentric (1/2)

The Doom Blade was one of the Demons’ most well-known signature treasures. The Doom Spirit within it was also known as the Demonic Doom Spirit.

As a weapon, it exuded an endless destructive aura. Now, after Ophelia had stimulated it with her Blood Essence, it had become even mightier.

However, as Nie Tian, who had connected his flesh aura to that of the Star Behemoth bone through Life Blend, wielded the bone in his enlarged form to clash head-on with the Doom Blade, the bone didn’t seem to be any weaker than the demonic blade.

CLANK! CLANK!

Nie Tian and Ophelia engaged in close combat in the starry river like two devilish gods, Nie Tian in his enlarged form and Ophelia in her Indestructible Form.

Every clash between the Doom Blade and the bone gave rise to a large amount of dazzling light and flaming sparks.

Intense destructive auras and explosive roars from the Doom Spirit struck the Star Behemoth bone over and over.

However, countless fine Bloodline Crystal Chains within the divine spear-like crimson bone glittered with a mysterious light.

The wisps of destructive aura rapidly dissipated before they could even pass through the bone to reach Nie Tian’s body.

Someone who was hiding in the dark and observing the battle between Nie Tian and Ophelia from the midst of the fighting Demons muttered, “She can finally display the Doom Blade’s true might now that she has entered the ninth grade and become a grand patriarch.

“Even though she can defeat any ninth grade grand patriarch now, that junior martial brother of mine is simply too...”

It was Han Yu with a grim expression.

He seemed to be out of place, surrounded by numerous Demons and their ancient starships.

Even Ophelia’s subordinates, who understood his special relationship with her, didn’t want to stay close to him.

Han Yu had become half-human, half-Demon after merging with the Demon Eyes Flower. Even though his battle prowess was extraordinary, and he had killed countless humans after fighting alongside Ophelia for ages, he still hadn’t won the Demons’ acknowledgment, especially not at this moment when the joint forces of the three powerful outsider races were engaged in a fierce battle against the humans in the starry river outside the Realm of Maelstrom.

As someone who was originally a human, Han Yu felt awkward in this situation.

“What are you doing, Han Yu?” Feimos, who was also known as the Controller, yelled at him while manipulating multiple enormous outsider beasts. “If you want to prove that you’re one of us, you have to earn our trust by helping us kill our enemies!”

Han Yu went blank for a few seconds. Then, after taking another deep look at Ophelia, he nodded stiffly and said, “I see.”

He summoned the Demon Eyes Flower and flew towards a nearby Saint domain expert from the Five Elements Sect who practiced earth power, hoping to prove his identity as a Demon with his actions.

With his face hidden in the shadows of the devilish blossoms, he thought to himself, “What will my future be like? I have to become strong enough to be independent of the Demons and humans. And this Demon Eyes Flower has to reach its peak state. Only if that happens will I be free of all restrictions!”

This notion instantly drove all hesitation and confusion out of his mind.

...

WHOOSH!

Gupi traveled in the starry river somewhere in the Domain of Heaven Python.

At first, it had plagued every realm it had come across with its toxic miasma, so they would slowly transform.

However, it had later discovered that all of those realms had been evacuated, with nothing but low-grade spirit beasts left in them, which had made them completely worthless to it.

It didn’t want to waste its energy to leave his aura in each of those realms only to slowly turn them into favorable homes to the Fiends over hundreds of thousands of years.

Because of this, the speed at which it traveled in the starry river gradually picked up.
