Chapter 1413: Grab What He Can (2/2)
As he contemplated, he suddenly noticed that the Seven Stars Realm Sea seemed to have shrunk by a quarter.
A somewhat vague soul message then came through from the Star Behemoth bone, causing a surprised look to appear in his eyes.
The Star Behemoth bone, which had fought alongside him for many years, was asking for his Blood Essence.
“Sure.”
Drop after drop of translucent and sparkling Blood Essence that contained rich life power was separated from his heart and fused into the bone.
As soon as a drop of Blood Essence touched the bone, it was absorbed with a fizzing sound, like water being absorbed by a dry sponge.
A long time passed.
The Blood Essence sent him a soul message, telling him that it didn’t need any more of his Blood Essence.
While Nie Tian was surprised by this, the Star Behemoth bone took it upon itself to dive into the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
It dove all the way to the bottom of the sea where the portal stood.
Blood-colored patterns then lit up on the bone, emanating a devilishly beautiful light that shocked even Nie Tian.
Immediately afterwards, he sensed that power of a variety of attributes started quietly gathering towards the bone from every corner of the sea.
Nie Tian gasped. “What?!”
He hadn’t expected the bone to start doing exactly what he had done, which was absorb power from the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
Almost at the same time, the black tortoise let out a sharp cry from the depths of the utter darkness.
Its enormous, mountain-like body charged out of the vast darkness and plunged into the Seven Stars Realm Sea as well, giving rise to a loud crash. Then, it started absorbing power from the sea as the Star Behemoth bone did, like two tigers going after the same prey.
It was just that the Star Behemoth bone was absorbing a vast variety of powers, while the black tortoise was only taking in flesh power from the dissipated flesh aura seas of Ancientspirits and outsiders.
“Judging from the power of the black tortoise’s flesh aura, it’s reaching the peak of the ninth grade.” Nie Tian shrewdly discovered that the black tortoise, which had hatched with the help of his Blood Essence and been nurtured by Dong Li’s dark power, was rising towards the tenth grade at an unbelievable speed.
The tenth grade was the level of grand monarchs!
How many years had it been since the black tortoise had been born?
There probably hadn’t been a single Ancientspirit or outsider in their histories that had been able to rise to the height of a grand monarch within such a short time.
“Both that bone and the black tortoise have received a considerable amount of my Blood Essence.” Nie Tian thought to himself. “Is it possible that their being able to absorb the powers they need from the Seven Stars Realm Sea has something to do with the Blood Essence they received from me?
“Star Behemoths, as the overlords of the Primal Era, devoured realms, and preyed on titans and Ancientbeasts. They could refine and make use of all sorts of power.
“But the black tortoise only needs two types of power: dark power and flesh power.
“It seems to have absorbed enough dark power from the utter darkness above. Does it only need flesh power for its breakthrough into the tenth grade now...?”
While he was absorbed in thought, he noticed that the Seven Stars Realm Sea was shrinking bit by bit.
His expression flickered slightly as he thought of a problem. “Will the two of them drain the Seven Stars Realm Sea completely? If the sea runs dry, then the portal will be exposed. The mixed energies in the Seven Stars Realm Sea are what maintain and power the portal.”
“If the Seven Stars Realm Sea disappears, will it be much more difficult to activate the portal, even though it remains intact?
“Plus, I still need more soul power to refine my true soul and more spiritual power to refine my void domain. If I want to advance to the Saint domain, I also need to obtain power from the Seven Stars Realm Sea!”
After a moment of hesitation, he, who had just finished gathering the flesh power he needed for his bloodline to advance to the ninth grade, resumed his true form, unleashed his void domain, and dove into the sea.
The Nine Stars Flower, the Godspirit Tree, and the seventy-two tree branches manifested one after another, and started working their wonders.
In the depths of the Seven Stars Realm Sea, he did his best to absorb wood, star, and flame power, as well as soul power, in an attempt to finish the solidification of his void domain and enter the Saint domain before the sea ran dry.
He, the Star Behemoth bone, and the black tortoise all did what they could to obtain power from the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
