Chapter 1500: The Tortoise Upgrades (1/2)

You Qimiao turned around and left.

BOOM!

The land Nie Tian was standing on, which was the manifestation of his wood power, started crumbling like the Realm of Looming Shadow.

His face gradually turned pale.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The extremely cold ice shards You Qimiao had left behind flew to landmasses that were drifting away from the broken Realm of Looming Shadow, turning them into frigid lands that were covered in ice and frost.

Icy wind blew past as sparkling snowflakes fell.

Covered in snow, those lands seemed to be vested with the profound truths of cold power by You Qimiao’s residual power. Each and every gust of freezing wind seemed to whisper the wonders of cold power.

Many Saint domain Qi warriors from various domains engaged in heated discussions.

“I can’t believe You Qimiao’s strength has reached such a level after his breakthrough to the late God domain!”

“Even his residual cold power can manifest such wondrous changes... Perhaps his attainments in cold power have already come to the same level as Xuan Yu, the Ice Emperor!”

“It seems to me that You Qimiao, who has mixed his cultivation of ice and flame power and entered the late God domain, might posses battle prowess even higher than Chu Yuan’s!”

“Chu Yuan? The sectmaster of the Heaven Span Pavilion? I doubt that he can defeat You Qimiao in battle now!”

“Perhaps only after Fan Tianze enters the late God domain will the Heaven Span Pavilion be able to seek revenge for the destruction of the Realm of Heaven Span.”

Some who practiced ice power were overjoyed as they scattered and flew towards the bone-piercingly frigid lands, where they hoped to derive enlightenment of ice power from the ice shards left by You Qimiao.

Even Yin Yanan and her ninth grade Frost Blood Python flew to one of the snow-capped lands.

“Hmm?!” Her eyes lit up upon direct contact with the frigid aura You Qimiao had left behind, as if she were instantly inspired.

Ji Yuanquan sighed in admiration and said, “You Qimiao has outstanding talent indeed!”

Face grim, Chu Rui didn’t make any comments. However, now, after You Qimiao had left, he finally saw why Fan Tianze would want to do such a risky thing as to break through to the late God domain in this turbulent time, instead of waiting for Chu Yuan to return.

“Perhaps he knew that he was the only one from his sect who would have a chance at defeating You Qimiao,” Chu Rui said inwardly.

Only at this moment did Dong Li return, enveloped in thick darkness. “Nie Tian!”

BOOM!

A black pillar of immense flesh aura suddenly shot skywards.

A fearsome cry from the black tortoise shook the void, along with the hearts of the experts that were present.

Flicking its tongue, Yin Yanan’s Frost Blood Python was gathering the tiny ice shards bit by bit as it suddenly heard the black tortoise’s cry, and was scared motionless.

Yin Yanan’s expression flickered with astonishment. “Is that tortoise ready to advance to the tenth grade?”

Nie Tian looked rather exhausted as he slowly breathed, surrounded by hovering currents of different energies that were being channeled from the starry river.

His star, flame, and wood domains recovered at a slow pace. The Heavenly Stars Flower shone as brilliantly as ever, while the wondrous fire spell formation resumed its smooth operation.

On the exuberant land, the Godspirit Tree and the seventy-two tree branches helped him channel wood power from his surroundings.

He did everything he could to recover his strength.

All of a sudden, his heart jolted as he sensed the black tortoise’s unusual changes. “The tenth grade?”

Dong Li stepped out of the darkness and said, “I’m glad that you’re fine. I knew that even You Qimiao couldn’t threaten your life. Now, with Song Chequan dead, Shangguan Zhi is the only one left. Do whatever you want with him. That foolish tortoise of mine is ready to advance to the tenth grade now. I’ve got to take it to a place that’ll help with its upgrade.”

Nie Tian was taken aback. “A place that’ll help with its upgrade?”

With a slightly awkward expression, Dong Li nodded and said, “Yes, it picked a place itself...”

The black tortoise remained inside the thick darkness that looked like an enormous inky cloud, which continued to devour the light around it, as if it would never stop expanding.

“Where?” Nie Tian asked curiously.

Dong Li looked somewhat embarrassed as she shot Ye Wenhan a quick glance and said, “The Domain of Heaven Span.”

Ye Wenhan couldn’t help but exclaim, “What?”

Nie Tian felt confused as well.

“It seems that the Ripper Behemoth that destroyed the Realm of Heaven Span left a bit of its flesh aura there,” Dong Li explained.

Chu Rui’s expression flickered violently as he asked, “What does that mean? Did the Ripper Behemoth leave some of its flesh aura for it especially?”
