Chapter 1485: Lots of Bad News

Almost in the blink of an eye, Nie Tian’s bloodline upgraded.

ZZZZZLA!

Countless beams of cyan light erupted from his Bloodline Crystal Chains. New bloodline talents were instantly awakened and engraved in him forever.

His flesh aura stirred as his body softly shook.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood, the lightning dragon Scotte, and Chatvic were all quietly observing Nie Tian, sensing the aura that was surging out of his heart.

After a while, Grand Monarch Primal Wood let out a low cry. “That’s the origin of life.”

SWISH!

The Golden-feathered Divine Finch of the Ancientbeasts returned. Pang Chicheng was wrapped in feathers that were condensed from golden divine light.

Streaks of golden light suppressed his bloodline like lightning bolts.

There were more than a dozen deep cuts in his rib cage. Sharp spatial power light sputtered from those wounds from time to time.

Pang Chicheng had apparently been injured by Pei Qiqi before being captured alive by the Golden-feathered Divine Finch.

“I’ll take this human hybrid to the Ancientspirits’ territory and find out the origin of his flame qilin bloodline.” The Golden-feathered Divine Finch’s shrill voice rang out, but stopped abruptly. Surprise suddenly flashed in its slender, sharp golden eyes. “His bloodline upgraded?”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood nodded lightly. “He had already accumulated enough strength, and required only a push. As he refined the Nether River branch earlier, the flesh power we gave him gave him a push.”

“So he’s a ninth grade grand patriarch now?” the Golden-feathered Divine Finch asked.

The lightning dragon Scotte took a deep look at Nie Tian and said, “You bet. I don’t know what wonderful talents he awakened when he broke through to the ninth grade, but there’s one thing I know for sure. He’s even stronger now after his bloodline has advanced again.”

Every time someone’s bloodline advanced, brand-new talents would be awakened. The stronger the person, the more powerful the awakened bloodline talents would be.

This was a well-known truth.

In the four grand monarchs’ eyes, Nie Tian had just broken through to ninth grade, but thinking of his past deeds, they had to believe that his awakened bloodline talents must be very mysterious and strong.

“In my opinion, his fighting strength is comparable to that of an early grand monarch, or an early God domain expert now,” Chatvic spoke.

“More than that,” Grand Monarch Primal Wood replied.

The three Ancientspirit grand monarchs turned to look at him in shock. “More than that?”

They were all middle tenth grade grand monarchs. If what Grand Monarch Primal Wood had said was true, and Nie Tian was actually stronger than an early grand monarch after his bloodline had just reached the level of a ninth grade grand patriarch, wouldn’t that mean he could fight them head-on now?

A ninth-grade grand patriarch and a tenth-grade grand monarch were completely different.

“He should be able to fight you by relying on his tools, bloodline and cultivation base now,” Grand Monarch Primal Wood aired his opinion.

The three middle tenth grade Ancientspirit grand monarchs suddenly fell silent.

There was surprise and disbelief in their eyes.

SWISH!

Pei Qiqi drove the Space Boundaries Crystal and returned, her aura unstable. She was also keenly aware that Nie Tian had completed the advance of his bloodline very quickly.

At this moment, it was clear that Nie Tian was carefully comprehending his newly-awakened bloodline talents.

All of a sudden, she tensed up and subconsciously assumed a tight grip on the Space Boundaries Crystal, afraid that the grand monarchs led by Grand Monarch Primal Wood would harm Nie Tian.

“Little girl, I was entrusted by the third generation Tree of Life to come and find Nie Tian,” Grand Monarch Primal Wood said with indifferent eyes. “Nie Tian is closely connected to the creator of our race. Given their relationship, I won’t kill Nie Tian. Besides, I dare not disobey the Tree of Life.”

Pei Qiqi didn’t let down her guard.

The minutes ticked away.

After a while, Nie Tian exhaled lightly and said calmly, “Okay. Let’s get out of the Silent Star Sea.”

As soon as he exhaled, his soaring flesh aura seemed to vanish completely.

Pei Qiqi was amazed. “Nie Tian, your bloodline...”

Nie Tian smiled. “It has successfully advanced. Later, I’ll need time to comprehend my new bloodline talents.”

Looking at Pang Chicheng, who was flushed and had a strange look in his eyes while being imprisoned by the Golden-feathered Divine Finch, he said, “Before you ran away from the Realm of Fire Spirit, you were a threat to me, but you don’t deserve to be a threat to me anymore.”

Pang Chicheng struggled and shouted, “Arrogant fool!”

Nie Tian couldn’t be bothered to explain. He gestured to Pei Qiqi before taking the lead to fly towards the land where the dilapidated altar was. He wanted to leave the Silent Star Sea first.

As for the use of the Profound Truths Crystal that had been condensed from the soul characters and soul strings in the Nether River branch, he wouldn’t think about it until later.

In any case, the trouble the first generation Tree of Life had faced in the Silent Star Sea had been solved for the time being.

...

In the Seven-star Realm Sea, as soon as the spatial fluctuations appeared, Zhao Shanling was the first to perceive it. “Nie Tian is back!”

On the seven dead stars, there were experts from the Domain of Heaven Python, Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and Domain of the Falling Stars, as well as many visitors from other domains.

Hearing Zhao Shanling’s shout, everyone looked shocked.

All the visitors knew that Xie Qian had died, and that Master Blood Spirit had been besieged by Duan Hongwen and Song Chequan in the Realm of Flame Heaven and had almost died as well.

Dong Li, who had tried hard to suppress her fury, was waiting for Nie Tian to return to attack the Shadow Society, Jade Heaven Sect, and Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect.

WHOOSH!

Figures flew out of the bright spatial tunnel.

As soon as Nie Tian came out, he felt the heavy atmosphere. He asked curiously, “What happened? Was the Realm of Heaven Span breached?”

“The Realm of Heaven Span shattered as we expected, but that has nothing to do with us,” Jing Feiyang said with a deep tone and a sad face. “While you were gone, Xuan Guangyu of the Void Spirit Society went to the Domain of Vast Darkness. He killed Brother Xie Qian and took the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir that was given to him.”

“What?!” Nie Tian growled.

“Master Blood Spirit was also attacked by Duan Hongwen and Song Chequan together. If it were not for the fact that Zhao Shanling sensed that something was wrong and got Miss Dong there in time by relying on his spatial power, the result would have been disastrous too,” Jing Feiyang continued.

“Are they completely shameless now?” Bright starlight flashed in Nie Tian’s eyes, but soon dimmed as he asked, “Where’s Xuan Guangyu?”

Dong Li walked over. “I don’t know. I was thoughtless. Because I intended to improve my fighting strength as soon as possible, I failed to follow up with a thorough protective job after the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir was assigned.”

“It’s not her fault. She hadn’t expected Xuan Guangyu to rob the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir for himself while the humans were fighting the outsiders.” Mo Qianfan explained in a soft voice. “Nie Tian, Xuan Guangyu is proficient in spatial power, I’m afraid he’ll be difficult to deal with, especially when he deliberately hides his tracks. In addition, You Qimiao is at the late God domain now, which means he’s currently the strongest human expert we have.”

Nie Tian’s expression was very grim. “The Shadow Society, Jade Heaven Sect, and Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect!”

At that moment, the images of tender leaves emerged in Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s pupils.

Those tender leaves seemed to record pieces of information.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood shook, and sent Nie Tian a secret message. “Nie Tian, there’s bad news. I’ve just learned that the Phantasms’ Grand Monarch Unholy Wind has returned to the Nether Realm urgently, as if he had been summoned by the Nether River. He seems to be gaining great strength from the Nether River branch in the Nether Realm.

“What’s more, it’s said that the ancestor of the Gaytons clan of the Demons and the master of the Blood Purgatory Sea has reawoken.

“Before he died with Ice Emperor Xuan Yu, he was a late tenth grade grand monarch!”
