BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1166: Comprehensive Improvement
A mixture of corpse power and flesh power spread across the cracked earth like a glorious, colorful carpet.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Energies of heaven and earth that filled the central area of the Shatter Battlefield rapidly converged on it, carrying all sorts of auras.
The grand monarchs and God domain experts left the twisted unstable void one after another.
Only three remained.
Lu Yuxin, the head of the wood element sect, Shao Tianyang, the head of the fire element sect, and Mo Heng, the grand elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.
As two of the Five Elements Sect’s five sect leaders, both Lu Yuxin and Shao Tianyang had made their names dozens of thousands of years ago, and were currently at the late God domain.
Compared to them, Mo Heng was slightly weaker, both in cultivation base and prestige.
However, after Mo Heng’s duel against Grand Monarch Primal Demon, not a single person dared to slight him or the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace anymore, even though Ji Cang still hadn’t returned.
Mo Heng, who was gazing down, turned to Lu Yuxin and Shao Tianyang and asked with a confused expression, “You don’t want to leave with the others?”
Shao Tianyang was wreathed in a cluster of eternally burning flames, which seemed to be his compressed fire domain. This made it hard for others to see his appearance.
“That kid has quite some connections with our sect,” Shao Tianyang said in a coarse, wild voice. “He helped Huang Jinnan, my disciple, and Hou Chulan. Even Lu Jiefeng escaped his fate of annihilation in the Domain of Nether Heaven thanks to him.”
Lu Yuxin from the wood element sect chimed in, “He also played a crucial role in bringing those outsider grand monarchs back to their senses this time.”
Hearing these words, Mo Heng put his heart at ease, knowing that they didn’t mean ill.
“However...” Shao Tianyang added, “I’m very curious about the origin of his unique bloodline. Since that bone in his possession belongs to another Star Behemoth, why was he able to refine it and earn its acknowledgment? As the grand elder of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, you must have run a full examination of him when he first joined your sect, right?”
Lu Yuxin joined the topic. “Mo Heng, you know where he received his bloodline, right?”
Mo Heng shook his head and said with an expressionless face. “I don’t, for now. Is the origin of his bloodline really that important to you?”
“It may not be very important to us, but others may think differently,” Lu Yuxin said.
Mo Heng frowned. “Others? Who?”
“You know what I’m talking about.” With these words, Lu Yuxin sighed. “Forget it. He should be safe with you here. Like Qu Yi said, this is another great opportunity for him. We might as well stop wasting our time here.”
Shao Tianyang added, “You’d better consider what you’ll do about the secret of his bloodline.”
With these words, the heads of the wood element sect and fire element sect bid farewell, and left in search of survivors of their own sects.
After they left, Mo Heng muttered to himself, “Did the two of them notice something? I can’t wrap fire in paper. (Idiom: there’s no concealing the truth) The truth about his bloodline is going to be revealed someday. What should I do?”
He found himself in a dilemma.
...
Deep under the earth’s surface, there seemed to be a whole other world.
As Nie Tian remained connected with the bone due to the activation of Life Blend, the bone continued to gather the countless evil spirits in its surroundings.
He gazed up through the opening in the Star Behemoth’s punctured skull, and saw a shield of glorious aura above him, which gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
He searched his memories, and suddenly remembered the time when he had visited the floating continent, and the colorful energy ribbons in the mysterious huge vortex, through which he had slowly descended from the top continent to the bottom continent.
On the bottom continent, he had discovered a dormant Star Behemoth in the depths of a black sea.
It was still alive!
With a strange expression, Nie Tian thought to himself, “Are these colorful auras and bands unique to Star Behemoths?”
Then, he examined the colorful shield above, and realized that it seemed to be channeling all sorts of energies from every corner of the Shatter Battlefield.
There was Demon qi and Phantasm qi from the outsider grand monarchs that had been previously gathered here, along with a wide array of energies of heaven and earth.
After the mixed energies converged from all directions and fused into the glorious energy shield, they were purged and refined into pure power that poured downwards.
All of a sudden, all of Nie Tian’s four spiritual cores in his spiritual sea, which were his flame power core, star power core, wood power core, and spiritual power core, became unusually active.
The same went for the Nine Stars Flower, Godspirit Tree, and flame spark in those cores.
Before Nie Tian realized what was happening, he saw bits of starlight, fiery crystalline lines, wisps of emerald wood power, and colorless pure spiritual power pouring towards him.
At this moment, he had a feeling that he had become a dry sponge that was blessed with all the water it needed.
As a comfortable feeling overtook him, he examined himself, and discovered that as a large amount of power continued to fuse into him, the liquid parts of his spiritual cores were crystallizing at an unprecedented rate.
Nie Tian couldn’t help but cheer out loud, “Such fast crystallization!”
After he had entered the Soul realm, the crystallization of his spiritual cores had been the focus of the advances in his cultivation.
When he had first entered the Soul realm, a major portion of his spiritual cores had been liquid, with only a small portion crystallized.
The advances from the early Soul realm to the middle and late Soul realm required rounds of refinement of his spiritual cores and turning the remaining liquid portion solid, therefore inducing fundamental changes in those powers.
Before, even when he had cultivated in the starry river with the help of his flame spark, Godspirit Tree, and Nine Stars Flower, his advancing speed had been rather slow.
He had never thought that now, as he descended towards the bottom of the Shatter Battlefield with the Star Behemoth, he seemed to have fallen into another heaven and earth that was filled with pure, immense power.
The energies that were channeled by his flame spark, Godspirit Tree, and Nine Stars Flower and flying madly towards him allowed his spiritual cores to crystallize at a rate he couldn’t even imagine.
What surprised him even more was that some of the evil spirits were absorbed by his Spirit Pearl.
After being refined by the Spirit Pearl, the evil spirits turned into strands of soul power, parts of which were so pure that they could be infused into his true soul directly.
“My spiritual cores and true soul...”
Before Nie Tian could calm down from all the cheering he was doing, he was even more surprised to notice that as he activated Life Drain, wisps of flesh power of an unknown origin that were pouring down were somehow attracted, and started fusing into him.
Nie Tian finally couldn’t help but cry out in ecstasy, “Flesh power too!”
All of his spiritual sea, soul, and bloodline were gaining a tremendous amount of power from this unique area underneath the Shatter Battlefield, which was like a shelter for the Star Behemoth.
What he was now gaining was full-frontal improvement.
It wasn’t long before he discovered that the Blood Essence he had lost during the time he had activated Life Blend was gradually regenerating in his heart.
“Such rich flesh power!”
Under the powerful effect of Life Drain, he felt that an endless stream of flesh power was flooding into him from all directions, entering his body, and condensing into essence of blood and flesh.
He even saw glowing bits of flesh power essence fusing into the embodiment of his bloodline, that green aura.
His bloodline that had remained dormant for a long time seemed to be touched lightly.
Nie Tian’s spirits were lifted. “How much will I benefit from this experience? Don’t tell me that the Star Behemoth is helping me? Or is my unique bloodline is the reason why I’m like a fish that’s returned to water here? What made this place the way it is? What vested it with such wonders?”
