Wave after wave of spatial fluctuations came from the ancient starships that were berthed on the seven dead stars.
“Nie Tian!”
Chu Rui from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, Ji Yuanquan from the Void Spirit Society, and Ye Wenhan from the Heaven Span Pavilion, along with the Divine Sons and Daughters of the Five Elements Sect, arrived one after another after hearing about Nie Tian’s return.
“You!” Chu Rui grew very uneasy upon seeing Grand Monarch Primal Wood and the three Ancientspirit grand monarchs.
“Pang Chicheng!” The Divine Sons and Daughters of the Five Elements Sect exclaimed in shock upon seeing Pang Chicheng, who was imprisoned by the Golden-feathered Divine Finch.
“We’ll communicate through Fata.” After sending Nie Tian one last secret message, Grand Monarch Primal Wood gave the three Ancientspirit grand monarchs a meaningful glance, then flew away without saying a word.
Chu Rui and the other human experts could only watch them leave. None of them dared to stop them.
After all, Grand Monarch Primal Wood had entered the late tenth grade, while the three Ancientspirit grand monarchs were all at the middle tenth grade.
Fan Tianze had gone into secluded cultivation to seek his breakthrough to the late God domain. Xuan Guangyu had turned against his own kind. For these reasons, humanity’s strength was currently far weaker than that of these experts from the Spirit World.
“I asked the Ancientbeasts to help me find the origin of Pang Chicheng’s bloodline. As for the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron...” With these words, Nie Tian whistled, and the huge cauldron Pang Bo had forged with the residual flesh auras of a flame qilin, a flame phoenix, a flame dragon, and a vermilion bird flew out in front of everyone.
He took a deep look at Lou Hongyan and said, “This divine tool belongs to your sect and the Realm of Fire Spirit.
“Now, I’m returning it to its rightful owner!”
WHOOSH!
The Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron seemed very obedient as it rapidly flew towards Lou Hongyan, as if it was afraid that Nie Tian would change his mind.
It had developed a deep fear towards Nie Tian ever since it had witnessed him enslaving the mighty evil gods with the Heavenly Spirit Seals he had forged through the Nether River.
To it, its best option right now was to leave him and return to the Realm of Fire Spirit.
Lou Hongyan and many disciples of the fire element sect were both surprised and elated to see the giant cauldron fly towards them. “The Immortal grade Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron!”
WHOOSH!
The Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron flew into Lou Hongyan’s spiritual sea in her dantian region, as if it never wanted to come out again.
Lou Hongyan shuddered violently. She attempted to communicate with it, but received no response.
“It...” Lou Hongyan wanted to say something, but gave up on second thought.
“Take it back to the Realm of Fire Spirit and let your master decide what he wants to do with it after he returns,” Nie Tian said. “Years ago, the Flame Dragon Armor came into my possession for various reasons. To be honest, I felt that I owed your sect a bit. But now that I’ve retaken the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron from Pang Chicheng for you, I think we’re even now.”
Not a single disciple of the Five Elements Sect opposed him.
They gave their consent by remaining silent.
“Nie Tian...” Chu Rui, Ye Wenhan, and Ji Yuanquan then gathered around to brief Nie Tian on what had happened in the human world recently. They told him that the Ripper Behemoth was looking for new realms to devour after destroying the Realm of Heaven Span, and hoped that Nie Tian would come up with a solution.
You Qimiao, who had entered the late God domain and provoked the Ripper Behemoth to destroy the Realm of Heaven Span, was still a major threat, even though he had disappeared for now.
Furthermore, the Demon, Fiend, Phantasm, and Bonebrute experts had spread out to terrorize different human domains. They were also unsure about how to deal with that.
After hearing about the major changes, Nie Tian dropped a bomb himself, “Grand Monarch Unholy Wind of the Phantasms has returned to the Nether Realm, and is receiving power from the Nether River. I’m afraid he’s trying to break through to the late tenth grade. Also, that Demon grand monarch who died killing Xuan Yu, the Ice Emperor, has come back to life after spending so long in the Blood Purgatory Sea.”
“What?!” These experts were already having headaches over the difficult situation. These two pieces of news struck them like lightning.
Ye Wenhan let out a long sigh and said, “We’re beset with enemies from within and without. Perhaps this the most perilous moment humanity has ever seen!
“Shame on the Shadow Society, the Jade Heaven Sect, and the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect for undermining us repeatedly at such a moment when we need unity more than ever! And that You Qimiao happens to break through to the late God domain at this moment!”
Despair filled the hearts of the Saint domain experts from across the human domain as they heard their conversation.
You Qimiao, Grand Monarch Unholy Wind, and Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory...
Who would be able to deal with them?
“Beset with enemies from within and without?” Nie Tian said coldly. “Why don’t we just annihilate them one by one?”
Chu Rui went blank for a moment before saying with a bitter expression. “I wish it were that easy.”
“It doesn’t seem very difficult to me,” Nie Tian said.
At this moment, Hua Mu suddenly jumped in and exclaimed, “Nie Tian! Grand Monarch Chaos Demon of the Demons has been spotted in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven! It seems that he’s hoping to enter the Domain of the Falling Stars to fix those three spatial rifts that connect to the Demon realms!”
“Grand Monarch Chaos Demon?” With a thoughtful look in her eyes, Pei Qiqi spun the Space Boundaries Crystal gently, and one of its many facets reflected an image in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven. “He’s in the Realm of Shattered Earth!”
Ji Yuanquan sighed with admiration. “The Space Boundaries Crystal has become more and more mysterious.”
With nothing but her thoughts, Pei Qiqi managed to show the clear reflection of a realm in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven with the Space Boundaries Crystal.
He had thought only Qu Yi, the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society, could do such a wondrous thing.
Now, Pei Qiqi could do it as well.
Nie Tian’s expression flickered violently. “The Realm of Shattered Earth?!”
The Realm of Shattered Earth had been named by him. As a realm in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven, it had been protected by the Heaven-equal Vine. That grand palace in it was connected to the Realm of Split Void.
Right now, his grandfather, aunt, and numerous talented youngsters from the Nie Clan and across the Domain of the Falling Stars were cultivating in the Realm of Shattered Earth.
“Take me there!” Nie Tian exclaimed.
Pei Qiqi nodded gently. As she grabbed the Space Boundaries Crystal and swung it across the sky, a spatial rift that connected to the starry river outside the Realm of Shattered Earth manifested out of thin air.
In the next moment, Nie Tian shot into it, roaring, “Grand Monarch Chaos Demon!”
Before the spatial rift disappeared, Nie Tian’s image showed in that facet of the Spatial rift in Pei Qiqi’s hand, floating in that silent area of the starry river.
Along with him, the crystal also showed the five evil gods that he summoned upon arriving!
“What in the world are those strange beings wreathed in rich Nether Qi?”
“I can’t see them clearly from such a distance, but they seem to be very similar to the evil gods in the Phantasms’ legends!”
“And they all answer Nie Tian’s summons?!”
Chu Rui, Ye Wenhan, and the other experts talked as they saw the five evil gods swoop towards Grand Monarch Chaos Demon with half of their bodies in holes filled with Nether Qi, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they did.
Grand Monarch Chaos Demon, who had been scared off by Dong Li in the Seven Stars Realm Sea, clearly sensed danger, and intended to leave.
However, before he could, the five evil gods pounced on him together, and started clawing and biting chunks of flesh off this early tenth grade Demon grand monarch with their sharp teeth and claws.
“What the?!” Eyes wide, Ye Wenhan watched this Demon grand monarch being easily torn apart by the five evil gods released by Nie Tian. His jaw almost dropped to the ground.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
One figure after another flew into the spatial rift to the battle zone in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven.
An intense flesh aura spread through the void as Grand Monarch Chaos Demon let out miserable ear-piercing screams. “No! This is impossible!”
“Nothing is impossible.” Face completely expressionless, Nie Tian reached out with one hand towards Grand Monarch Chaos Demon, who was being ripped apart by the five evil gods.
“Life Drain!” As he exclaimed, wisps of Grand Monarch Chaos Demon’s pure flesh aura flew from his badly-mangled body towards Nie Tian’s palm.
At the same time, Grand Monarch Chaos Demon’s blood that was splashing everywhere took it upon itself to gather into purple crystals.
Each and every purple crystal was a pure crystallization of his blood, which also couldn’t escape from Nie Tian’s hands. Like purple shooting stars, they plummeted into his palm and disappeared.
“Early grand monarchs seem to be pretty easy to kill,” Nie Tian muttered. “Having entered the ninth grade, I happen to need a tremendous amount of flesh power. On the one hand, I need flesh power to strengthen my body. On the other, I need to accumulate an even more terrifying amount of flesh power for my advance to the tenth grade.”
PHEW! PHEW!
Like purple stars, the crystals flashed across the void and disappeared into his palm.
Grand Monarch Chaos Demon, however, was gradually dismembered.
His soul was divided and devoured by the five evil gods, while his flesh power and every last drop of his Blood Essence became a part of Nie Tian, helping strengthen his bones and meridians.
