BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1503: Coercion And Cajolery
After Grand Monarch Ice Bones arrived, You Qimiao’s profound laws and meanings that had transformed from cold power quickly collapsed.
His presence caused creatures who cultivated cold power like Yin Yanan and the Frost Blood Python to shiver, as if their fleshly bodies were slowly being infiltrated by his flesh aura sea.
In his Bonebrute Impregnable Form, Grand Monarch Ice Bones looked like a huge transparent ice sculpture with white flesh power that implied the true meaning of death coursing through his bones. “Nie Tian.”
Compared to his flesh aura back when they had met in the Domain of Frigid Depths, Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s current flesh aura was even more amazing.
“You’re only a step away from becoming a late tenth grade grand monarch.” After a quick glance at him, Nie Tian’s mysterious bloodline told him that Grand Monarch Ice Bones in front of him seemed to be able to break through the limits of his bloodline soon, becoming a late tenth grade grand monarch and a supreme grand monarch of the outsiders like Grand Monarch Crystal Bones of the Bonebrutes.
Only a late tenth grade grand monarch could have the chance to be considered an outsider paragon.
“Why are you here, instead of using Ice Emperor Xuan Yu’s remaining cold power to break through your bloodline in the Frigid Depths?” Nie Tian asked with an unkind expression. “With your achievements, you aren’t here for the little strength that You Qimiao left behind, are you?”
“Of course not,” Grand Monarch Ice Bones spoke in broken human language. “You should know that the Frigid Depths was slowly transformed from the Ice Emperor’s god domain, with the unique features of the Domain of Frigid Depths.”
Nie Tian nodded.
Yu Suying of the Profound Purity Palace had taken his side since the beginning because she had been hoping that when he was strong enough one day, she could rely on his strength to take the Frigid Depths from Grand Monarch Ice Bones.
The Frigid Depths was filled with the profound meanings of cold power that Ice Emperor Xuan Yu had left, which could help her junior martial sister Xu Qing reach the early God domain, and perhaps even the middle and late God domain.
Grand Monarch Ice Bones looked down at the puny frightened humans below and continued with an indifferent air, “They aren’t qualified to hear the conversation between you and me.”
SWOOSH!
Cold air currents emerged from under Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s armpits.
Like icy waterfalls and cold streams, the cold air currents took Yin Yanan, the Frost Blood Python. and Mu Biqiong far away.
Seconds later, a sparkling and crystal-clear barrier with cold light that was made of flesh aura sealed this area of the starry river.
Through the transparent barrier, Nie Tian could see that Yin Yanan, Mu Biqiong, and those Qi warriors who cultivated cold power hadn’t died.
Having been carried away, they shivered and looked suspiciously in his direction.
It was just that they had confused looks in their eyes, as if they were unable to see him or Grand Monarch Ice Bones, or know what they were talking about.
After this was done, Grand Monarch Ice Bones said, “Done. I’ve heard you promised the Profound Purity Palace that you will help them take the Frigid Depths from me?”
The Extreme Cold Palace of the Domain of Frigid Depths had been completely controlled by Grand Monarch Ice Bones, so he could obtain information like this through them.
Nie Tian was silent.
“I can give up the Frigid Depths,” Grand Monarch Ice Bones said with a different tone than earlier. “In fact, after such a long time, I’ve almost understood all the engraved true meanings of cold power that the Ice Emperor Xuan Yu left behind after his God domain exploded. I will give you the Frigid Depths so you can give it to the Profound Purity Palace as a favor.”
Nie Tian was taken aback. “Why?”
“It’s of limited help to me now,” Grand Monarch Ice Bones answered. “I’ve heard that the Seven Stars Realm Sea connects directly to the Void World. Only you and Pei Qiqi are able to open that passage. I come to you and will give you the Frigid Depths because I hope that when you open the portal at the bottom of the sea, I can also pass through it.”
Nie Tian was astonished. “You want to go to the Void World? There’s another way to get to the Void World, isn’t there? The Doomed Star Sea is also connected to the Void World. Why don’t you go to the Void World through there?”
“The Doomed Star Sea...” Grand Monarch Ice Bones muttered, with a little apprehension in his eyes. “The Doomed Star Sea is indeed a place that connects the Mortal World and the Void World. I suppose the peak human experts, as well as Grand Monarch Primal Demon, Grand Monarch Crystal Bones, Grand Monarch Nether River, and Grand Monarch Dark Depths, went to the Void World through the Doomed Star Sea.
“I also want to walk through the Doomed Star Sea, but it’s a pity that my bloodline hasn’t reached the late tenth grade, so it is very difficult for me to go safely to the Void World through the Doomed Star Sea.”
Hearing this, Nie Tian asked with a serious face, “Is it really that dangerous for you to travel through the Doomed Star Sea?”
Hesitating for a while, Grand Monarch Ice Bones explained, “The current situation in the Doomed Star Sea is very complicated. Even I can’t be completely sure that I’ll be able to smoothly travel through it, so I thought of the passage in the Seven Stars Realm Sea that connects to the Void World. I’ve also learned that that newly-made late God domain human obtained his lucky fortune from the Void World.”
Nie Tian snorted coldly and said, “The Void World. What do you know about it?”
The Bonedrudes, which were one of the three outsider races of the Void World, was the source of the Bonebrutes’ bloodline. Once Grand Monarch Ice Bones went to the Void World, it was likely that he would be quickly assimilated by the Bonedrudes and become a great trouble to the human race.
It was even possible that Grand Monarch Ice Bones had already had communications with the Bonedrudes in the Void World, and had been instigated by them to trick Nie Tian into opening the portal.
At the thought of this, Nie Tian said before Grand Monarch Ice Bones could reply, “The portal in the Seven Stars Realm Sea won’t be opened for the time being. If the portal is opened, that will mean that the Mortal World will be exposed to the beings from the Void World. I don’t want to fight them when the Mortal World is facing a threat from the strong outsider races!”
Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s eyes went cold. “The Frigid Depths alone aren’t enough, is it?”
Nie Tian grinned and said, “Grand Monarch Ice Bones, do you think I’m as weak as I was when we met in the Domain of Frigid Depths? I know what you’re capable of, but if you want to threaten me now, I’m afraid that you can’t.”
After suffering from You Qimiao’s mighty strike, his body had been strengthened further, so his confidence had soared.
Even You Qimiao, who was at the late God domain, couldn’t kill him with cold power. How could Grand Monarch Ice Bones, who was a little weaker, possibly kill him?
Besides, he was in the Mortal World, and his territory now!
Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s tone gradually turned cold as he said, “I’ve heard how strong you are and I also know about your fight with You Qimiao. I may not be able to kill you very easily, but what about the people with you? Nie Tian, you should know that you’re not alone, but I am. I wouldn’t care if the Extreme Coldness Palace were to be destroyed, or even if the entire Bonebrute race were to be wiped out.”
Nie Tian’s expression changed.
He had seen such desperate, cold-blooded characters who had no family members or friends before.
Zhao Shanling was one of them. Nothing could threaten him.
HISS!
Cold air currents suddenly flew out of the barrier toward Yin Yanan, the Frost Blood Python, and Mu Biqiong like frigid streams.
The countless Bloodline Crystal Chains in the cold air currents burst forth with silvery bright light and an intense blood aura, easily freezing Yin Yanan, the Frost Blood Python, and Mu Biqiong, as well as those Qi warriors who cultivated cold power, and turning them into ice sculptures.
You Qimiao of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect was a human himself. He had to take his identity and his sect into consideration, so he hadn’t dared to act recklessly.
He hadn’t, but Grand Monarch Ice Bones did.
In a flash, those Qi warriors were all frozen by Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s cold power, whether they had a relationship with Nie Tian or not. Moreover, they were obviously being eroded by his death aura little by little.
Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s voice was filled with cold killing intent as he said, “Do you see that? If I want, I can kill them right now. Not only that, but I can also go kill the humans and your relatives in the Domain of the Falling Stars, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and the Domain of Heaven Python.”
Nie Tian’s face stiffened.
