Chapter 1411: A Perfect Match (1/2)

WHOOSH!

Standing on an eighth grade Goldskin Beast, Dong Qisong from the Beast-controlling Sect plummeted towards the dead star like a streak of golden light before landing with a loud crash.

He seemed to be so exhausted that even breathing had become laborious.

Sparks of spiritual power fell from him like snowflakes.

He was drenched in sweat.

Dong Li removed her gaze from the black iron box to fix him with a confused look. “What the hell happened to you, Patriarch? Why does it look like someone just fished you out of a river?”

Dong Qisong panted heavily as he gradually calmed himself.

“Kid, did you see someone?” Dong Qisong asked with a grim expression. “Just now, a few strands of aura suddenly descended on this dead star. They suppressed even my soul awareness.”

FIZZ!

Yue Yanxi from the Divine Flame Sect, who had advanced to the early Saint domain as Dong Qisong had, arrived like a streak of flames. Upon arriving, he asked aloud, “Who were they?”

Dong Qisong and Yue Yanxi were the two Saint domain experts that had been charged with protecting Dong Li and Nie Tian at the Seven Stars Realm Sea.

All of Nie Tian’s other followers, whether they were at the God domain or the Saint domain, had been summoned by the four great sects to join the battle against the outsiders and Ancientspirits in the distant Domain of Heaven Span.

“That’s right. Two people were here.” Dong Li said, looking somewhat puzzled. “One was Feng Beiluo from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. The other was a mysterious woman with a veil covering her face. That woman even said that I’m a good girl, and gave me this.”

With these words, she pointed at the black iron box in her hand.

“According to what I sensed, it couldn’t have been just Feng Beiluo and that woman,” Dong Qisong said with great certainty. “There were at least three God domain experts! Feng Beiluo was only one of them! Not only that, but I also sensed three strands of unusually mighty flesh auras!”

“That’s right. I believe three outsider grand monarchs were here too.” Yue Yanxi said with decisiveness that could sever nails and chop iron.

Dong Li’s expression flickered with astonishment. “That’s impossible! I only saw Feng Beiluo and that woman I don’t know. Even though Feng Beiluo treated that woman with great respect and caution, she didn’t seem very powerful to me.”

Dong Qisong smiled bitterly and said, “Feng Beiluo was only the one you were able to see. The others probably hid in the dark after escorting that woman and Feng Beiluo here. But there were three God domain experts and three outsider grand monarchs! They represent the peak strength of both humans and outsiders. What made them get along?”

Dong Li went silent for a while before suddenly saying, “If you’re right, then I’m afraid it was the secret strong force behind Feng Beiluo that wanders between worlds. I learned from Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi that that secret force not only takes in the so-called crooked humans, but outsider rebels as well.”

With a grim expression, Yue Yanxi said, “So that woman gave you that black iron box in your hand? You’ve got to be careful with it!”

Dong Qisong also seemed worried. “That secret force might be up to something. Don’t fall into their trap!”

“I don’t think they mean harm.” Dong Li looked down at the black iron box, and found the exquisite engravings on it somewhat similar to the dark magical patterns that had naturally formed on the black tortoise’s shell. “But this box does seem a bit peculiar.”

Despite what Dong Qisong and Yue Yanxi had said, she reached out to touch the box with a finger.

However, the black tortoise suddenly let out a soul cry.

Surprise filled Dong Li’s face as she asked, “You want to do it?”

The black tortoise nodded repeatedly. Then, under Dong Li’s nervous gaze, it held one of its gigantic feet towards the black iron box.

In its true form, the black tortoise looked like a black mountain peak, which put both Dong Qisong and Yue Yanxi under great pressure.

As soon as that huge foot touched the black iron box, the unearthly fine engravings on the box morphed into bolts of black lightning that fused into its foot.

The black tortoise then let out a comfortable moan as gorgeous dark magical patterns were added to its mountain-like shell one after another.

FZZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!

Fine black lightning bolts that only Dong Li could sense flew into the black tortoise’s heart, stimulating its bloodline and generating brand new Bloodline Crystal Chains.

Dong Li was suddenly enlightened. “So it’s the engravings on this black iron box that you know are helpful to you.”

The lid of the box was quietly lifted by a wisp of the black tortoise’s flesh aura.

Extreme darkness then poured out of the box. Dong Qisong and Yue Yanxi, who were at the Saint domain, gasped with shock upon seeing this. They didn’t even warn each other before fleeing from the dead star with their fastest possible speed.

Within seconds, this dead star, one of the seven that surrounded the Seven-star Blue Sea, was engulfed in complete darkness.

However, the darkness didn’t stop spreading.

In merely a few minutes, this entire area of the starry river over the Seven-star Blue Sea, including all of the seven surrounding stars, were engulfed in utter darkness.

Dong Qisong, Yue Yanxi, Li Langfeng, and several Void domain experts from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries all retreated to areas that were far from the Seven-star Blue Sea.

Disbelief and confusion filled their faces as they looked at the vast expanse of darkness and the azure sea underneath it.

“Sectmaster Dong, Sectmaster Yue, what’s up with that darkness?” A Qi warrior from the Bliss Mountain Sect asked with a puzzled expression. “Is Miss Dong practicing some forbidden dark incantation with that dark stone? Even if she is, she doesn’t have to create such a stir, right?”
