Chapter 1429: Entering the Blood Realm

Hundreds of thousands of wisps of Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s flesh aura that were finer than hairs swam inside Nie Tian’s internal organs and sea of awareness.

Nie Tian suddenly felt as if he were bound by magical ropes.

He opened his mouth to yell, only to find that he couldn’t make a sound.

However, his mind wasn’t affected, as his true soul could still see Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s flesh aura exploring his sea of awareness in a mysterious spell formation.

Though different, the spell formation held wonders that were held similar to that of the Wood Thriving Formation.

“Bloodline, bloodline...”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood muttered in a low voice as his green lantern-like eyes moved up and down Nie Tian, before they eventually fixed on his heart.

Wherever his gaze traveled, his flesh aura followed!

Thousands of fine wisps of flesh aura converged on Nie Tian’s heart like tiny green lightning bolts.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Nie Tian’s heart immediately started pounding vigorously, like a god of ancient times thundering a battle drum with great force. Each and every thump was heaven-shaking and earth-splitting!

BOOM!

Glorious cyan light suddenly exploded within Nie Tian’s heart.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s wisps of flesh aura that contained wood power essence trembled as soon as they flew into Nie Tian’s heart.

Surprisingly, the green aura that was only as thick as a small finger started devouring Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s probing wisps of flesh aura!

Even though Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s wisps of flesh aura had greater numbers, they were far finer than the green aura within Nie Tian’s heart.

The green aura preyed on Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s flesh aura like a huge python swallowing tiny snakes!

WHOOSH!

Trembling in fear, Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s wisps of flesh aura scrambled to pull out of Nie Tian’s heart, but were still ruthlessly devoured by his green aura.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s expression flickered with astonishment.

His stooped back instantly straightened. The wrinkles that filled his face also seemed to be magically erased by a hand of time.

Moisture and radiance were restored to his face.

In merely a few seconds, Grand Monarch Primal Wood shed his senior appearance and turned into a young Floragrim that was even more handsome than Fata, and stood with a proud bearing like a pine tree.

FIZZ!

Numerous green sparks lit up in the depths of Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s eyes like stars.

“Bloodline talent: Godly Wood!”

The wisps of his green flesh aura that were still wandering in Nie Tian’s sea of awareness and parts of his body other than his heart rapidly converged to condense into a small but lush tree on Nie Tian’s chest.

As small as it was, the tree exuded a very ancient aura.

WHOOSH!

The green aura within Nie Tian’s heart that was vested with the profound truths of life charged out violently like a hidden dragon charging out of a deep lake!

As soon as it flew out, it saw the small tree standing before it.

“Hmm?!”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood felt instinctively uneasy, his expression flickering.

The green aura suddenly burst forth with light so blindingly bright that even Grand Monarch Primal Wood couldn’t look directly at it. The Bloodline Crystal Chains within it were unprecedentedly dazzling, and exuded an aura that drowned that of the illusory ancient tree.

In the next moment, Grand Monarch Primal Wood saw the green aura wrapping around the ancient tree and starting to absorb nourishment, including the profound mysteries it held and the essence of his flesh aura, from it.

BOOM!

In the dazzling green light, brand new Bloodline Crystal Chains came to form inside the green aura.

With the help of the rich flesh power and wood power within the ancient tree, the green aura rapidly transformed and readied Nie Tian for his advance to the ninth grade.

In less than a minute, every last bit of the flesh power Grand Monarch Primal Wood had used to examine Nie Tian was annihilated... or to be accurate, devoured.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood was flabbergasted.

What he had just cast on Nie Tian was a profoundly powerful bloodline magic that the first grand monarch in Floragrim history had derived from the Tree of Life when he had entered the tenth grade.

That grand monarch’s name was Grand Monarch Heavenly Wood. Both the Wood Thriving Formation and Heavenly Wood Heal that Nie Tian had mastered had been created by Grand Monarch Heavenly Wood.

According to the legends, Grand Monarch Heavenly Wood had been the first of the Floragrims, and he had been created by the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life hadn’t withered when he had broken through into the tenth grade and become the first Floragrim grand monarch in history.

At that point, he had awoken bloodline wonders through the Tree of Life, which had allowed him to create Heavenly Wood Heal, the Wood Thriving Formation, and many other secret bloodline magics. By doing that, he had laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Floragrims.

The small ancient tree Grand Monarch Primal Wood had conjured up just now had carried Grand Monarch Heavenly Wood’s wisdom and the Tree of Life’s wonders.

He had never expected that such a wondrous tree would be so easily devoured by that green aura from Nie Tian’s heart.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s face grew grim over this.

WHOOSH!

The green aura flew back into Nie Tian’s heart and fell dormant again.

Now that all of the wisps of flesh aura restricting him were gone, Nie Tian fixed Grand Monarch Primal Wood with a strange look and said, “Thank you.”

He could tell that the flesh aura he had obtained from Grand Monarch Primal Wood would greatly shorten the dormancy of his bloodline aura.

Perhaps his bloodline would be able to advance to the ninth grade within a short time.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood was taken aback. “Thank me? You think I’m helping you intentionally by presenting those auras?”

He found Nie Tian’s notion funny.

“Am I wrong?” Nie Tian asked, though he obviously knew the answer.

“Don’t tell me that my people’s first grand monarch and some human had you as a child before he died,” Grand Monarch Primal Wood said with a disbelieving expression. “But that’s impossible! Grand Monarch Heavenly Wood has been dead for far too long! However, if that’s not the case, then how could your bloodline aura devour that ancient tree so easily?

“What allowed you to practice Heavenly Wood Heal, learn the Wood Thriving Formation, and obtain the patterns of the Tree of Life?

“Only if you were Grand Monarch Heavenly Wood’s descendant can it explain all this.”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood was deeply baffled.

The more he racked his mind for an answer, the more agitated he became.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

At this moment, Nie Tian’s bloodline aura, which had fallen dormant in his heart again, was suddenly stirred.

Numerous interweaving Bloodline Crystal Chains within it gave rise to a strange magnetic field.

Drop after drop of sparkling, crystal-clear Blood Essence burst forth with dazzling light.

A violent shudder ran through Nie Tian’s body. “Blood Realm!”

Wisps of his soul awareness rapidly condensed into a shadow that flew out of his sea of awareness and into his pounding heart.

It disappeared into the green aura in the blink of an eye!

The burning of his Blood Essence created a vast amount of flesh power that helped it break through the limits of space.

As soon as the shadow reached the center of the strange soul-attracting magnetic field, it was transferred to his Blood Realm to seek new bloodline magics and wonders.

Like a shooting star, his shadow of soul awareness crossed layers of glorious space before suddenly arriving in a raging blood sea.

He found himself immersed in a boundless sea of blood and qi that contained immense life power.

There were countless drops of sparkling, crystal-clear Blood Essence in the blood sea. Each and every drop contained far more of the essence of life power than his Blood Essence did.

His soul awareness swam in it without obstacles.

In the depths of the blood sea, he found an area that emanated the purest life aura, which seemed to be the true essence of life.

As his cluster of soul awareness attempted to approach it to gain a better sense of its incredibly pure life aura, countless rays of glorious light shot out of it.

Each and every ray of light seemed to carry a profound truth of life.

He found some of them extremely hard to understand, while others were much plainer, and he could understand them as soon as they made contact with his soul awareness.

Both his Blood Essence and soul power burned at a fast rate as he did his utmost to derive new knowledge and enlightenment.

In the outside world, Grand Monarch Primal Wood was dumbstruck looking at him.

The seventy-two tree branches that had been branded with the Tree of Life’s unique tree patterns spread out around Nie Tian.

They emanated a misty green light that naturally formed the Wood Thriving Formation.

After the spell formation came to form, the Tree of Life’s unique tree patterns could be seen flowing spontaneously in the glowing green shield that had enveloped Nie Tian.

Wood power continued to fly out of Grand Monarch Primal Wood and fuse into the Wood Thriving Formation.

At the same time, the Godspirit Tree that had become a part of Nie Tian’s wood domain manifested itself, and started channeling wood power from the starry river before refining it into his wood domain.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood was even more confused as he muttered, “Blood Realm! Did he somehow enter his Blood Realm?

“Could it be that my flesh power stimulated his bloodline and sent him into his Blood Realm?

“A Blood Realm is the origin of someone’s bloodline, a mysterious place that only their soul can reach.

“Where’s his Blood Realm? Could it be the same Blood Realm as my people’s?

“Perhaps I can find the answers if I enter our Blood Realm!”

With this thought, Grand Monarch Primal Wood sat down in the lotus position ten meters in front of Nie Tian, and instantly stimulated his Blood Essence and condensed soul power.

Having reached his level, he could enter his Blood Realm whenever he wanted. Opportunities weren’t needed.

“Activate Blood Realm!” Grand Monarch Primal Wood called softly.

His soul will instantly flew into his heart, crossed boundless space, and entered the Floragrims’ Blood Realm. He wanted to see if he could meet Nie Tian there.

If he could sense Nie Tian’s soul aura or see Nie Tian’s soul shadow in the Floragrims’ Blood Realm, then he’d be able to confirm that the origin of Nie Tian’s bloodline was the same as that of his race.

He needed an answer.

...

Outside the dead realm, Pei Qiqi spun her Space Boundaries Crystal, and pointed at what seemed to be empty void. “There! Nie Tian is in there. Grand Monarch Primal Wood must have enshrouded that area with his flesh aura, so I can’t see or sense anything from it. But my subtle connection to Nie Tian tells me that he’s in there.”

Chu Rui nodded slightly. “I trust your judgment.”

“Nine Heavens Starfall!”

Meteors that were flying hundreds of thousands of kilometers away were suddenly channeled by Chu Rui.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

They dashed over one after another from different directions, incomparably glorious.

“Condense! Fall!”

As Chu Rui changed his hand seal, the incoming shooting stars condensed into one giant shooting star that crashed towards the empty area Pei Qiqi was pointing at.

BOOM!

Grand Monarch Primal Wood’s intense flesh aura sea, which he was using to hide the dead realm, instantly became visible. The collision created a splash of dazzling wood power and starlight.

Then, Pei Qiqi and Chu Rui looked over with rapt attention, and saw Nie Tian and Grand Monarch Primal Wood.

“Hmm?!”
