Chapter 1702: The Sectmaster (1/2)
There were many more who had been possessed by Heavenly Demonsbanes, like Hua Mu.
When he took a closer look, Nie Tian realized that dozens of experts had been reduced to being the Heavenly Demonsbane’s food.
Its seeds were so widespread that they could be found across the three worlds.
Soil made of the fleshly bodies of living beings would help the seeds grow until they found a chance to possess them.
Some of the hosts had long known of the Heavenly Demonsbane’s existence in their bodies, while others didn’t know until they died.
The seeds of the Heavenly Demonsbanes had a clear spiritual connection with the largest Heavenly Demonsbane, which allowed them to communicate from different worlds.
As soon as the seeds grew up, they would bewitch them to find a way to come here and become a tribute to the colossal Heavenly Demonsbane.
Among the many who had been possessed and engulfed, Hua Mu had been relatively weak.
Nie Tian noticed that even grand monarchs of some unknown races, whose bloodlines had reached the tenth grade, had been entwined by the Heavenly Demonsbanes and had their blood essence and souls absorbed before they had died.
The Heavenly Demonsbane’s soul awareness sounded wantonly. “What a pity! If I’d planted a seed in your body when you were young, when it blossomed and bore fruit, it would have been very helpful to me. What a pure rich life aura you have!”
The vines that had wrapped tightly around Nie Tian’s true form were as cold and shiny as metal.
The power that came from it was mighty enough to break most grand monarchs into pieces.
THUD! THUD!
Suddenly, the tips of the vines stabbed into his fleshly body like sharp blades.
The mouths on the vines were like giant pythons. They nibbled at Nie Tian’s flesh and intended to drink his blood.
“What a crude method to extract flesh power,” Nie Tian said scornfully, as Bloodline Crystal Chains suddenly brightened in his heart.
His true form burst forth with dazzling light, and his bloodline talent Life Drain suddenly burst forth.
ZZZZZLA!
His flesh aura clashed violently with the gnawing powers from the vines.
The Heavenly Demonsbane sensed danger.
The largest Heavenly Demonsbane stretched out its vines again. Instead of binding his flesh, the new vines pierced his true form like sharp spears, creating numerous bloody holes in him.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Nie Tian’s nine doppelgangers finally came roaring and scattered to attack the smaller Heavenly Demonsbanes.
Raging flames surged out from his flame doppelgänger. In an inconceivable manner, orange flames flew out of the unique arrays connecting to the Flame Land.
Unexpectedly, Nie Tian sensed the aura of the Divine Flame, Nie Yan, and the Flame Land, even though they were currently separated by seemingly infinite space.
A small Heavenly Demonsbane was touched by the orange flames.
In an instant, it started burning violently.
This also caused the largest Heavenly Demonsbane to let out a bitter soul cry, “The aura in these flames... Ah!”
WHOOSH!
The vines that wrapped around Nie Tian instantly released him and scrambled back.
Then, the colossal Heavenly Demonsbane fled like crazy, as if it had seen a ghost.
The small Heavenly Demonsbanes looked like its shadows as they hurried to follow the departing giant plant.
The Heavenly Demonsbane had given up on nibbling at Nie Tian.
It wasn’t his bloodline that it feared, but the flames from his flame doppelgänger.
Nie Tian was in a daze.
While he was lost in thought, his fleshly body that had been pierced by the vines quickly healed.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to his original state.
