Chapter 1430: Parallel Explorations (1/2)

The glowing emerald shield that was as thin as cicada wings had been transformed from Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s flesh aura sea.

Thanks to it, the dead realm seemed to be filled with life force again.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood and Nie Tian sat face-to-face. Both of them had their eyes closed and didn’t have any verbal or visual contact.

However, Nie Tian’s wood domain continued to emanate green light. The Tree of Life’s tree patterns continued to swim about within the light screen established by the seventy-two tree branches.

Meanwhile, Grand Monarch Primal Wood had taken on a completely different appearance, handsomely arrogant, with a heroic bearing.

It was just that wisps of his wood power continued to be attracted by the Wood Thriving Formation that was protecting Nie Tian, and absorbed by the tree patterns that belonged to the Tree of Life.

However, Grand Monarch Primal Wood didn’t seem to be angered by it.

Both him and Nie Tian seemed unusually quiet, as if their souls had entered the same arcane realm.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

As Pei Qiqi spun her Space Boundaries Crystal, numerous spatial blades condensed into glorious spatial rifts that approached the dead realm, squeezing and crushing space as they did.

“Void Split!”

As the spatial rifts moved closer and closer towards the dead realm, glorious light sputtered on the tracks they took.

Chu Rui’s expression flickered with astonishment as he exclaimed, “Stop!”

Pei Qiqi froze and asked in confusion, “Why?”

Just now, Chu Rui had channeled meteors from the surrounding starry river with a secret magic of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, condensed them into one shooting star, and shot it at the dead realm. Why would he suddenly stop her while she tried to build on his effort?

“Nie Tian and Grand Monarch Primal Wood seem to have entered arcane realms!” Chu Rui said.

“Arcane realms?” Pei Qiqi pondered for a brief moment before her eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you saying they’ve entered their Blood Realms?”

Chu Rui nodded. “Exactly!”

Pei Qiqi immediately canceled her spell.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

The swimming spatial rifts instantly split into numerous glowing spatial blades that flew into the Space Boundaries Crystal and disappeared.

Pei Qiqi cast her gaze down and said in a low voice, “Most Ancientspirit and outsider races have their own Blood Realms. However, even though I carry a Voidspirit bloodline, I don’t think I’ve ever sensed the existence of a Blood Realm.”

With a serious expression, Chu Rui explained, “Grand Monarch Primal Wood is at the middle tenth grade. Outsider experts like him can not only enter and exit their Blood Realms whenever they want, but they can also leave the secret bloodline magics they’ve derived in them. It’s a tradition for grand monarchs to imprint their lifetime understanding of their bloodline wonders and the bloodline magics they’ve derived in their Blood Realms. That way, their descendants and later generations will be able to learn from them.”

Pei Qiqi nodded slightly. “So what’s going on between Nie Tian and Grand Monarch Primal Wood?”

With a somewhat bitter smile, Chu Rui said, “Let’s not talk about that yet. The more important issue is that unlike Grand Monarch Primal Wood, Nie Tian is far from being able to enter and exit his Blood Realm freely. An opportunity must have presented itself for him to enter his Blood Realm to learn new bloodline magics.

“It couldn’t have been easy for him to enter it. It won’t be easy for him to come out of it right away.

“As for Grand Monarch Primal Wood, he’ll be able to come out of his Blood Realm whenever he wants. Also, if he wants, he can kill Nie Tian with ease, given how close they are to each other.

“Since Nie Tian is in a trance, he basically doesn’t have the ability to protect himself. That ward formed by those tree branches probably can’t protect him from a strike from Grand Monarch Primal Wood either.”

“I see.” Pei Qiqi realized that Chu Rui was worried that they might awaken Grand Monarch Primal Wood if they bombarded his flesh aura sea over and over. Then, after noticing their arrival, he might try to kill Nie Tian.

“However, it’s very interesting that Grand Monarch Primal Wood and Nie Tian would enter their Blood Realms at the same time.” Chu Rui also found this puzzling. “Let’s not rush into anything yet. We might as well wait and see what they’re up to.”

“Alright,” Pei Qiqi said.

It was hard to explain why Blood Realms existed.

Many races that carried wondrous bloodlines, including titans, Ancientbeasts, dragons, Demons, Phantasms, Floragrims, and Fiends, had their own Blood Realms.

A Blood Realm was like an enormous knowledge base that only members of their race could enter with their soul awareness to seek bloodline magics and the secrets of their race’s origin and prosperity.

For outsider grand monarchs, who represented their race’s peak power, entering and exiting their Blood Realm was effortless.

Not just that, but they could also brand their lifetime understanding of their bloodline power in their Blood Realm using secret magics, so later generations would be able to learn from it.

Inside the Floragrims’ Blood Realm.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s soul awareness floated around in what looked like a boundless green sea.

In fact, it was a sea of innumerable emerald green leaves that could only be detected by soul awareness.

Each and every leaf had been branded with a profound understanding of power from some wise Floragrim ancestor, along with the mysteries of the Floragrims’ origin and the rises and falls in their history.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s soul awareness morphed into a soul shadow that slowly rose above the sea of leaves.

He had been here countless times.

He had already come to a deep understanding of this Blood Realm of the Floragrims.
