Chapter 1480: A Moment of Enlightenment (1/2)

The Star Behemoth bone, the Flame Dragon Armor, and the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron were summoned one after another.

Nie Tian attempted to attack the Nether River with each of them.

He soon discovered that all kinds of physical attacks were ineffective against the Nether River.

Sure enough, the raging flame power unleashed by the Flame Dragon Armor and the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron could vaporize a small segment of the Nether River, along with the evil spirits in it, as Scotte had done with his Thunder Blasts.

However, they faced the same problem as Scotte had.

They didn’t have endless resources of flame power that allowed them to neutralize this entire branch of the Nether River.

Furthermore, fresh water was still pouring in through the great vortex from the Void World, along with more evil spirits.

It seemed to him that as long as that great vortex existed, fresh water and evil spirits would be able to enter the Silent Star Sea endlessly.

However, he didn’t have even a remotely equal amount of flame power to vaporize the Nether River.

“None of these work.” As he pondered other options, the Spirit Pearl came to mind. However, he soon gave up on the idea. “That won’t work either. The Spirit Pearl was created by Grand Monarch Nether Spirit of the Phantasms to collect the soul fragments of the five evil gods. How can it be used against the Nether River?

“If none of my tools work, what about my incantations?

With these thoughts, he unleashed his star, flame, and wood domains together, which emanated divine light. Then, he cast different profound spells and incantations he had learned targeting the Nether River.

Titan’s Wrath, Primal Chaos, and Illusory Ancient Talisman were cast one after another, but failed to make any impact.

“No, they don’t work either.

“Even the Sea of Illusory Stars and other profound star magics from the Fragmentary Star Incantation couldn’t cause any noticeable damage to the Nether River.

“Flame power, lightning power, and soul power. Only these three types of power work. However, they all require inexhaustible energy sources to make an impact, and they can’t destroy the Nether River at its source.

“The Nether River transformed from the broken soul awareness of that mighty one runs through the three worlds. Even though he’s dead now, I guess it’s hard to find anyone who can contend against his power.”

Nie Tian racked his mind, but still couldn’t think of a solution.

He even started to doubt that Grand Monarch Primal Wood had actually received instructions from the third-generation Tree of Life.

What made it so confident that he would be able to solve the problem in the Silent Star Sea with the help of these grand monarchs?

“Why does it believe in my ability to find a solution? How much does it know about me?

“I only met it briefly in that mysterious place. Its understanding of me is probably only limited to my life bloodline, right?

“If it’s my life bloodline that gave it such confidence...”

His expression flickered as a lightning bolt of enlightenment flashed across his sea of awareness.

Bloodline talents and bloodline magics he had picked up from that endless blood sea entered his mind one after another.

He moved on to make new attempts.

He tried Life Drain, but failed to draw any power from the Nether River.

After all, the Nether River didn’t consist of flesh power.

Then, he tried Life Shackle and Life Erosion. The Nether River didn’t show any noticeable reaction to those either.

“What bloodline talent or magic could it be?

“If the third-generation Tree of Life is right and I can indeed find a solution to destroy this Nether River, could it be some bloodline talent or magic I’ll pick up after my bloodline enters the ninth grade?”

His bloodline aura had fallen dormant again, and was now only a step away from entering the ninth grade.

The upgrade could happen at any moment now.

He suspected that the third-generation Tree of Life had assumed that his bloodline had already entered the ninth grade, and had thus speculated his abilities against that standard, which was why it was so convinced that he could handle the Nether River.

“Do I really need to enter the ninth grade?” The question took up his mind.

“What about Profound Truths Crystallization?” He suddenly remembered this bloodline talent, which he had awakened after entering the eighth grade.

He thought he might as well give it a shot, given the desperate situation he was in. Then, as he activated his bloodline, drop after drop of his Blood Essence was ignited.

He attempted to refine and separate Profound Truths Crystals from the Nether River.

FIZZ! FIZZ!
