Chapter 1364: Competition (1/2)

Nie Tian laughed heartily as he exclaimed with elation, “Heavenly Wood Heal!”

It had only been a short time, yet all of the wounds he had sustained from his battle against Ophelia magically healed, without leaving any signs of him sustaining serious injuries earlier.

The severed meridians in his shoulder where it had been cut by the Doom Blade also reattached, and became even more resilient than before.

“Flesh power, abundant flesh power!”

His spirits were greatly lifted as he realized that with Life Drain, he could turn the ninth grade outsider grand patriarchs’ rich flesh power into long streams of flesh power that he fused into himself, allowing him to rapidly recover his strength and battle prowess in battle.

“This basic bloodline talent of mine is actually more mighty and direct when used in battle!”

Before, he had always used Life Drain to condense Blood Essence, strengthen his bloodline, and temper his body.

He had assumed that this bloodline talent was the most helpful when it came to bloodline upgrades.

Only now, when he used it in his battle against Ophelia without trying to hide it anymore, did he suddenly realize that its might could be better displayed when it was used in battle!

Just now, when he had used it to absorb flesh power from his Demon and Phantasm victims, their flesh power had been scalding hot, and much richer than what he could usually get from dead outsiders.

Such rich flesh power had helped him heal his injuries effortlessly.

The Blood Essence he had consumed was also rapidly restored.

“Hahaha! This feels awesome!”

With a wild laugh, he casually tossed the dead Phantasm away, and cast Starshift again before Ophelia could reach him.

In a flash of blinding starlight, he vanished from his original place, and reappeared right in front of another Demon grand patriarch.

Nie Tian laughed wildly. “Feimos, the Controller, it’s nice to see you again.”

Feimos, who had just urged Han Yu to fight the humans, was surrounded by a large number of odd-looking winged demonic bugs and beasts.

He was controlling the swarms of them to attack Yin Zhong from the Streamcloud Sword Sect. Upon hearing Nie Tian’s voice, he felt a sudden numbness in his scalp.

As he jerked around and saw Nie Tian, in his enlarged form, holding a divine spear-like bone and wreathed in an overwhelmingly fierce flesh aura, he felt nothing but fear.

He simply couldn’t find the courage to fight him.

A tightly-woven net of blood-colored light fell from over his head.

Feimos’ bloodline was completely suppressed.

Sensing the Star Behemoth aura, all of the demonic bugs and beasts he was controlling trembled in fear, without the slightest will to fight.

BOOM! BOOM!

The demonic bugs and beasts exploded one after another.

Feimos was then caught in the crimson net. As the net tightened, and the blood strings cut into his flesh, Nie Tian activated Life Drain.

His flesh power poured out of him at an alarming rate.

To take advantage of the situation, the five evil gods swirled out of the Spirit Pearl, which took it upon itself to shoot forth and float over Feimos’ head.

With a single look at the Spirit Pearl, Feimos lost his mind.

“Ninth grade grand patriarchs are too weak to handle my attacks.” Shaking his head, Nie Tian shifted back and forth across the battlefield to reap lives under the gazes of numerous human and outsider experts.

His opponent Ophelia, however, exerted herself, clutching her Doom Blade, but still failed to catch up to him.

Demon and Phantasm grand patriarchs were surprised, attacked, and killed by Nie Tian one after another, before their flesh power was drained by him and their souls dragged into the Spirit Pearl.

...

In the Void Spirit Society.

Vice Sectmaster Xuan Guangyu, Hong Minghui, and many elders and disciples were still gathered around and looking quietly into the Magic Gold Mirror.

Battles between God domain Qi warriors and outsider grand monarchs couldn’t be reflected in the mirror.

Peak experts at their level could prevent all sorts of spying with their god domains, dharma idols, or flesh aura seas.

Therefore, even Xuan Guangyu, who was one of the most skilled spatial power experts, could only observe the fights between grand patriarchs and Saint domain cultivators through the Magic Gold Mirror when separated from the battlefield by the boundless starry river.

However, after a while, the Magic Gold Mirror started to fix on Nie Tian for some reason.

The images continued to show Nie Tian shifting back and forth like a ghost to kill Demon and Phantasm grand patriarchs.

Each and every grand patriarch he killed would be penetrated by blood strings that swirled out of him, then their bodies would shrivel at a shocking rate to the point where they looked like bags of bones that had been left in the sun for thousands of years.

Hong Minghui’s face twitched in an unnatural way as he said with a somewhat hoarse voice, “This Nie Tian... What’s the origin of his bloodline? Have you noticed that the longer he fights, the stronger he becomes? He seems to be able to rapidly recover his strength with those outsider grand patriarchs. It’s as if he never gets tired, and his flesh power is inexhaustible.”

Not a single elder of the Void Spirit Society said a word in response, yet all of them nodded slowly with different expressions on their faces.
