Chapter 1617: Close-up Examination (2/2)
“So the question is: was this giant here before or after the birth of humanity? If he was here before the birth of humanity, and the Tree of Life just failed to detect him, could the birth of humanity have something to do with him?”
Both You Qimiao and Han Qing shuddered slightly upon hearing this.
This enormous human-form being was so full of mysteries that the three of them felt as if their heads were in the clouds.
“I failed to penetrate the energy ward with my soul power. It was my three fragmentary star marks that succeeded.” Nie Tian thought to himself. “Also, according to the Tree of Life, it sensed an unusual stir in the star core of the Realm of Middle Continent. Star core... Where can it be?”
As his train of thought came to this point, his soul shadow suddenly split into three and returned to the three fragmentary star marks.
As soon as his soul wisps entered the fragmentary star marks, he felt much safer, as if the lightning bolts and streaks of golden light that shot skywards from the giant human-form being from time to time could no longer harm him.
Hence, his three soul wisps controlled the fragmentary star marks from within.
Like three brilliant stars, the wondrous marks flickered as they started flying about in this vast space. They carefully examined the giant from above, carefully avoiding the rising lightning bolts and steering clear of the golden heart-protecting plate on the giant’s chest.
FIZZ!
Despite his cautiousness, a raging bolt of lightning suddenly blasted skywards and struck one of the marks.
The wisp of Nie Tian’s soul within it realized that this could be its end.
However, to his surprise, nothing seemed to happen after the bolt of lightning struck the fragmentary star mark. It didn’t pierce into the mark or anything.
That wisp of Nie Tian’s soul remained unscathed.
The numerous magical symbols within the mark remained as brilliant as before.
“Don’t tell me that my fragmentary star marks can be used as protective talismans in this special space!”
After going blank for a moment, he tried to fly one of the fragmentary star marks to the giant’s chest where the heart-protecting plate was.
He waited there for a while.
All of a sudden, a streak of golden light blasted straight into the sky.
WHOOSH!
It went through the fragmentary star mark and continued skywards, if it didn’t exist.
“What I suspected is true!” Nie Tian was thrilled by the realization that the three fragmentary star marks really couldn’t be harmed by the lightning bolts or the streaks of golden light
Shining with starlight, the three wondrous marks immediately started flying around the giant with absolutely no scruples.
They started examining the giant’s dantian region, eyes, and head with unprecedented boldness.
“Uhh...” You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect had a very complicated look on his face as he watched the three wondrous marks flying back and forth before him, being struck by lightning bolts and golden lights from time to time.
“Those marks can protect Nie Tian’s soul wisps from being annihilated,” Han Qing said.
You Qimiao nodded slightly. “Yes, but you and I have to be very careful! I was struck by a bolt of lightning when I first got here. Only after using the strength of nine bulls and two tigers (Idiom: make tremendous effort) and the Yin Yang Chaos Mirror was I able to neutralize the lightning power.”
“I know how mighty they are,” Han Qing said with a grim face. “Even though I haven’t been struck by the lightning bolts or the light shooting out of that golden heart-protecting plate, I feel stabbing pain in my every pore whenever I come close to them.”
Her cultivation base was lower. She might not be able to withstand the power that You Qimiao could. Therefore, she was even more cautious.
WHOOSH!
One of the fragmentary star marks suddenly plunged towards the giant’s abdomen, where a Qi warrior’s dantian would be.
