Spatial fluctuations suddenly emerged in the central area in the Shatter Battlefield.
FIZZ!
A spatial rift split open.
Nie Tian walked out of it and arrived from the floating continent, which was currently in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven.
Both Feng Beiluo and the Thunder Devil felt a jolt in their souls, and exclaimed subconsciously the moment he arrived. “Nie Tian!”
Both of them were early G.o.d domain experts. One of them had numerous fierce Heavenly Corpses at his disposal. The other had earned himself the name Thunder Devil, and inspired fear across the human domains.
Both of them had come into contact with Nie Tian at some point. However, at this moment, they both had a sense of unfamiliarity when examining Nie Tian, who had suddenly arrived.
Many Saint domain Qi warriors who had come here with the two of them also examined Nie Tian with strange expressions. “So he’s the Nie Tian everyone’s talking about...”
“Why are you here?” Nie Tian asked, floating in midair.
Then, he spread his soul awareness and bloodline power, which rapidly covered a thousand-kilometer radius around him. Any living being with flesh and blood couldn’t escape his perception, even including puny insects. “I can’t believe the Star Behemoth in the depths of the earth is actually...”
He shrewdly sensed that the Star Behemoth was being infused with flesh power at an alarming rate, like a balloon being inflated.
He didn’t need to see it to know that its flesh was being regenerated, its internal organs were coming to form, and it was on its way to resurrection.
All sorts of flesh auras were pouring endlessly through the bizarre hole in the middle of the cl.u.s.ter of stone columns that stood towering like mountain peaks.
Then, the flesh auras infiltrated the earth, and were absorbed by the Star Behemoth.
Those flesh auras of different colors were the key to its resurrection. Nie Tian only took a brief moment to sense them, and his expression flickered.
In the short time after his arrival, the flesh auras pouring out of the hole matched that of ten outsider grand patriarchs combined!
Face filled with astonishment, Nie Tian tried to determine the source of every wisp of flesh aura by relying on his life bloodline. “The flesh auras of Devils, Netherspirits, Fiends, Blackscales, Ancientspirits, Floragrims, and many other unknown races. Those flesh auras come from such a wide array of races. Where does that hole connect?”
With a faint smile, Feng Beiluo said, “The Doomed Star Sea.”
Nie Tian’s eyes instantly lit up. “The Doomed Star Sea!”
From his communication with the Ripper Behemoth, Wei Lai, and the Spirit Scepter, he had come to a rough understanding of the Void World, the Mortal World, the Spirit World, and his father, whom he had never met.
The Doomed Star Sea separated the Mortal World and the Void World, and was considered the most dangerous place throughout the three worlds nowadays.
Battles broke out year-round between the humans and the three major races of the Void World there.
Many powerful races of the Spirit World, including the Floragrims, the Ancientspirits, and even the Demons, Phantasms, Fiends, and Bonebrutes would march forces there to help fight against those from the Void World.
That was because not all Demons, Phantasms, and Bonebrutes wanted to find and join their origin as Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory did.
In fact, Grand Monarch Primal Demon, Grand Monarch Nether River, and Grand Monarch Crystal Bones had done everything within their power to sever their connections to the three races of the Void World. They hadn’t wanted anything to do with them.
Feng Beiluo let out a sigh of frustration and said, “The fierceness of the battles in the Doomed Star Sea is unprecedented. Don’t think that the outsiders that have invaded the Mortal World represent the true strength of the Void World, Nie Tian.”
“Of course I don’t,” Nie Tian said. “I’m not that naive.”
Up to this day, not a single late tenth grade grand monarch from the Void World had descended upon the human domains.
Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger didn’t count.
Feng Beiluo took a deep breath and continued, “Their most powerful experts are still in the Void World and the Doomed Star Sea. We’ve suffered tremendous casualties from our battles against them. Pei Yukong of the Voidspirits sustained fatal injuries. Only because of that did he go to find Pei Qiqi. I suppose you met him on the floating continent.”
Nie Tian nodded. “I did.”
“He’s only one of our injured. At least he didn’t die, and managed to find Pei Qiqi. I’ve seen too many Voidspirits fall in battle.” With these words, Feng Beiluo cast his gaze down. “Since we’ve been in a bad situation in our battles recently, and couldn’t think of a solution, we thought of this Star Behemoth here in the Shatter Battlefield. Its power was unmatched before it died, so we thought it would be a great help to us if we revived it.”
Nie Tian was taken aback. “What?!”
As of now, he had seen how terrifyingly mighty the Star Behemoths from the Primal Era really were.
That Dark Behemoth had fought the Dark King, but lost, which had allowed the Dark King to touch the essence of darkness, and therein transcend the tenth grade.
The bone he currently had in his possession was from another Star Behemoth: The Rampage Behemoth.
It had fought a fierce battle against the Bone Emperor from the Void World, and exploded.
After its death, one of its bones had drifted in the starry river until that old Lizardman accidentally obtained it. Eventually, it had fallen into his hands.
Those powerful beings from the Primal Era had been mighty enough to contend against the Dark King and the Bone Emperor.
Even so, the Dark Behemoth and the Rampage Behemoth had failed to defeat the Dark King and the Bone Emperor.
This proved how exceedingly mighty the transcendent experts from the Void World had been.
This Star Behemoth in the depths of the Shatter Battlefield was the Chaos Behemoth.
Back in the day, the flesh auras it had released had plunged countless human and outsider experts into senseless killing, and had almost made those peak experts of the Mortal World and the Spirit World fight each other to the death, therefore causing great turmoil in the two worlds.
Nie Tian had long since witnessed the might of the Chaos Behemoth. However, he didn’t know what had killed it.
The only thing he knew was that it could easily influence the living beings in its surroundings and make them lose sight of who their enemies and friends were.
Once it was revived and tossed into the Doomed Star Sea, all living beings close to it might lose their minds and engage in endless, senseless killing.
Feng Beiluo nodded. “It can create chaos. And that’s what we need it for. You have no idea how mighty the tenth grade grand monarchs from the Void World are. The Netherspirits, the Devils, and the Bonedrudes all have powerful leaders. We even suspect that they have mighty figures like the Dark King, the Bone Emperor, and Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit!”
Nie Tian’s expression flickered. “What? They actually have experts at the same level as those three in this era?”
“I’m afraid so,” Feng Beiluo said, his expression bitter. “Of course, I haven’t encountered any of them myself. But your father ran into them in a forbidden place in the Void World. Ji Cang, Qu Yi, Grand Monarch Primal Demon, Grand Monarch Nether River, and the high chieftain of the Ancientspirits, these peak experts of the Mortal World and the Spirit World, have all vanished after entering that forbidden place. Perhaps they’ve all fallen into a trap.”
Nie Tian couldn’t help but exclaim, “What?!”
Yuan Jiuchuan, the Thunder Devil, and a few other experts also stood aghast after hearing this.
It appeared that even they didn’t know that there were experts in today’s Void World that were as mighty as those legendary beings.
If this was true, why didn’t the humans and those from the Spirit World give up resistance and acknowledge allegiance to them already?
Who could possibly contend against such mighty existences?
After a while, Nie Tian asked uneasily, “If he encountered such powerful experts in that forbidden place in the Void World... Is he still alive? If powerful existences on par with the Dark King, the Bone Emperor, and the Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit actually wanted to kill him, could he escape?”
“How do you think that Dark Aureole was obtained?” Feng Beiluo said rhetorically.
Nie Tian was lost for a moment before asking, “How?”
Feng Beiluo smiled and said, “I don’t know all the details, but I know that your father took it from that mighty Devil in that forbidden place in the Void World. He might have won it as the spoils of a battle, or from some sort of bet.”
“What?!”
“Don’t be surprised.” Feng Beiluo said with an expression as if this couldn’t be more normal. “How long has it been since your bloodline awakened? Yet you managed to fight off Grand Monarch Bloodl.u.s.t and Grand Monarch Nether Channeler and slaughter early tenth grade grand monarchs in the Domain of Endless Snow. Even you could defeat such powerful enemies. You don’t think he could escape with ease from those mighty beings?
“If he couldn’t do that, why would so many unruly arrogant human and outsider experts swear their allegiance to him?
“For us from the Mortal World and the outsiders from the Spirit World, unparalleled battle prowess is what earns respect.”
