Chapter 1508: Accumulating Strength

In a deep mountain valley filled with rolling Demon Qi, Grand Monarch Remote Demon had already regrown his severed arm.

Staring at the Demon kneeling in front of him, he sprang to his feet and exclaimed, “What? Another grand patriarch of our clan died at Nie Tian’s hands? Tell our clansmen to stay put before Lord Bloodlust and Lord Eternal Purgatory get here.”

At this moment, a high-tier Demon clad in dark purple armor rode in on a giant lizard-like monster. Casting his gaze down, he said, “Grand Monarch Chaos Demon is confirmed to have been killed by Nie Tian in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven.”

Grand Monarch Remote Demon’s face grew even grimmer. “I see.”

The Demons had sensed it as soon as Grand Monarch Chaos Demon had perished.

It was just that they hadn’t known who the killer was. Later, when word had come in saying that Nie Tian was the killer, Grand Monarch Remote Demon had questioned its authenticity.

Now, after his loyal subordinate had confirmed it, he realized that it was true.

“If even Chaos Demon died at his hand, I...” Grand Monarch Remote Demon, who had expended great effort to regrow his arm through secret bloodline magics, felt uneasy, even though this place where he was hiding was a human realm that had been transformed by Demon Qi.

He should be the one to step up and avenge his people after they were butchered in the Mortal World.

However, the death of Grand Monarch Chaos Demon made him hesitant.

“Nie Tian is hunting not only our people, but the Phantasms and Fiends as well,” the high-tier Demon said.

Grand Monarch Remote Demon took a deep breath and said with a grim look in his eyes, “Nie Tian’s special. His unique bloodline allows him to strengthen himself by refining our flesh auras. What surprises me is that he’s even started killing the Fiends now. Fiends’ flesh auras contain all sorts of deadly toxins. How can he possibly absorb and refine them?”

“I don’t know, my lord.”

“Don’t worry,” Grand Monarch Remote Demon said with a ferocious look in his eyes. “Lord Eternal Purgatory has already awoken. It won’t be long before he gets here. Both Nie Tian and that Pei Qiqi will die miserable deaths after Lord Eternal Purgatory comes to the Mortal World! And we’ll finally retake the dark stone we lost.”

“Got it.”

...

FZZZ! FZZZ!

As Nie Tian activated Life Purification, multicolored flesh aura mists rose from the dead Fiends that were scattered before him at odd angles.

A Fiend starship had been blown up by Nie Tian, and its debris covered a large area.

A Fiend grand patriarch that seemed to be the leader wailed as the life in his eyes faded.

Even now, he still couldn’t believe this human hybrid could actually purge the various toxins within his flesh aura, making them rise like smoke, and then absorb it as pure flesh power.

Grief filled his heart as he struggled to glance around at his clansmen that had died miserable deaths.

“You’re more evil than any outsider race, or the so-called crooked forces.” After saying this with his last gasp, the Fiend grand patriarch’s last drop of Blood Essence burned out in his heart, and he died with unfulfilled grudges.

As wisps of pure flesh power fused into Nie Tian’s enlarged body, he grew considerably taller.

After he had cleansed his body with Life Purification, his enlarged form had shrunken from close to ten thousand meters tall to only seven thousand meters tall.

That was the result of his body being further refined.

He knew that though smaller, his body had become tougher than before, and his battle prowess had risen to a new level.

Now, after the purification, the infusion of fresh flesh power started to help his enlarged form grow larger again.

He knew that the limit of his height at the ninth grade was nine thousand meters.

Through absorbing flesh power from the large number of Demons, Phantasms, and Fiends he had killed recently, his height had already climbed to roughly eight thousand meters.

“Still not enough,” Nie Tian muttered with strong killing intent in his eyes. “Only the flesh power of tenth grade outsider grand monarchs can help me grow at a fast enough rate.

“And I can’t put the flesh power of Bonebrutes to use. Even Life purification can’t change that.”

After his previous encounter with a Bonebrute infested area, he had intentionally left the Bonebrutes alone when he had hunted outsiders for flesh power.

After all, the Bonebrutes’ death power and his life power conflicted and suppressed each other.

“Several Demon, Phantasm, and Fiend grand monarchs have been killed by the Ripper Behemoth, while their peak experts have all gone to Void World...” He thought to himself. “And my recent killing of their people has made them scrupulous. It’s going to be hard to find their grand monarchs now.”

He had a headache over the situation.

Because of the Tree of Life, a friendly relationship had been established between him and the Ancientspirits and Floragrims.

“Perhaps I’ll have to seek immense flesh power from the three major races of the Void World someday.”

He suddenly thought of the powerful races of the Void World, and realized that perhaps battles against them would help him make much quicker advances in his bloodline.

FZZZ!

A spatial rift manifested out of thin air.

Pei Qiqi arrived through it.

Nie Tian’s face split into a broad smile. “Why are you here?”

Pei Qiqi’s Space Boundaries Crystal was becoming more and more mysterious and powerful, making it easier and easier for her to travel through the human world if she wanted to search for things.

“You...” With a single glance at him, Pei Qiqi discovered that even though his huge form seemed smaller than before, the power it contained seemed to be fiercer and more refined.

“Grand Monarch Remote Demon, whose arm I severed, still hasn’t left the human world, and thinks that he’s hiding himself well.” Pei Qiqi cut to the chase. “I’ve received word that Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory of the Demons has come out of the Blood Purgatory Sea. I suppose it won’t be long before he enters our world. Under such circumstances, we’d better get rid of Grand Monarch Remote Demon as soon as possible.”

Nie Tian’s eyes lit up. “Grand Monarch Remote Demon! I happen to need grand monarch grade flesh power to strengthen my bloodline!”

“That’s why I’m here,” Pei Qiqi said, nodding. “Dong Li is helping the black tortoise advance to the tenth grade in the Domain of Heaven Span. I was there to observe. After a while, I realized that things were going well with its breakthrough, and the Ripper Behemoth was driving that floating continent away from the Domain of Heaven Span.

“Besides that, Senior Yin Xingtian has entered the God domain successfully.

“As soon as he did, all of the sword lights and sword intent that made up the Godspan Sword Formation were attracted, and flew towards him on their own.

“Before I came here, I saw that the Godspan Sword Formation already reformed under his power.”

She went on and explained the major events that had taken place recently to Nie Tian.

Nie Tian was overjoyed. “Yin Xingtian!”

“By the way, I heard that you met Grand Monarch Ice Bones not long ago?” Pei Qiqi changed the topic.

“Oh, that reminds me,” Nie Tian said, a hint of elation appearing at the corners of his mouth. “The Frigid Depths in the Domain of Frigid Depths belongs to the Extreme Coldness Palace. However, now that Grand Monarch Ice Bones is out of the picture, the Extreme Coldness Palace themselves aren’t strong enough to hold it. I’ve decided to give it to the Profound Purity Palace. Hopefully, they’ll be able to learn from the profound truths of cold power the Ice Emperor left behind.”

“Did your master take Grand Monarch Ice Bones away, the same way he took Gupi away?” Pei Qiqi asked, looking surprised.

Nie Tian nodded. “Yes, my master took him to his location, a mysterious forbidden place in the Void World. I believe it won’t be long before I am qualified to go there myself. Grand Monarch Remote Demon will be my stepping-stone.”

“Alright, I’ll take you there,” Pei Qiqi said.
