Chapter 1165: A Great Opportunity
As the Star Behemoth’s humongous skull slowly descended, Nie Tian went down with it.
As this happened, the bone continued to gather the countless evil spirits within it.
Nie Tian, who had activated Life Blend, had become one within the bone. The profound connection between him and the bone remained as he descended towards the dead silent depths of the earth with the skull that was as vast as a continent.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
All sorts of flesh auras and energies of heaven and earth surged chaotically, causing pieces of land to break and fall.
After exclaiming at the top of his lungs, Mo Heng withdrew his dharma idol, preparing to chase Nie Tian into the abyss.
He assumed that Nie Tian was trapped within the Star Behemoth’s skull.
Qu Yi, however, called out with a strange expression, “Brother Mo!”
Hearing this, Mo Heng came to a stop in midair and fixed him with a confused look.
At this moment, many others, including Ji Yuanquan, Ye Wenhan, the heads of the fire element sect and wood element sect, the outsider grand monarchs, and the titans, also noticed the anomaly.
A layer of rich corpse aura and colorful light had separated the descending Star Behemoth from them.
All outsiders and Ancientspirits knew that they had to keep their distance from that layer of mixed energies.
Otherwise, they would instantly be influenced by the Star Behemoth’s flesh aura, and go berserk again.
Furthermore, the peculiar corpse aura that was mixed with it would also have a powerful influence on human God domain experts.
They knew that they would also be subject to violent changes as soon as they were poisoned by the corpse aura.
Therefore, none of the God domain experts and outsider grand monarchs dared to act rashly. They simply looked at the layer of condensing energies from afar.
Nie Tian was the only one that was slowly descending towards the whole other world in the depths of the earth, along with the Star Behemoth’s humongous head.
“This is another great opportunity for that kid,” Qu Yi explained.
The duel between Mo Heng and Grand Monarch Primal Demon had lasted a long time, during which he had lost a significant amount of his immense spiritual power and soul power. Earlier, he had been struggling to handle the demented Grand Monarch Primal Demon.
Therefore, he hadn’t noticed every detail of Nie Tian’s interactions with the Star Behemoth.
Hearing this, Mo Heng said, his eyes lighting up, “Are you saying that the Star Behemoth is going to be his great opportunity...?”
Qu Yi nodded. “It’s no exaggeration to say that he and his master, Wu Ji, are the reason why we were able to end this calamity in the Shatter Battlefield before it was too late. If his master hadn’t seen the problem, we wouldn’t have been prepared. If Nie Tian hadn’t established communication with the Star Behemoth’s gathering soul, convincing it to retract its bloodline crystals that were bewitching the grand monarchs, the consequences would still have been catastrophic.”
All of the outsider grand monarchs and titans in the area were deeply shocked by Qu Yi’s words.
Numerous sets of blindingly-bright eyes fixed on Nie Tian, who was gradually descending out of their sight.
“Nie Tian?!”
“Is he the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace who won a recent duel against Ophelia?”
“He’s the reason we were able to recover our senses?!”
“The seventh Son of the Stars?!”
Before coming here, none of these God domain experts and outsider grand monarchs had expected that they would fight battles themselves.
Who would have thought that the Stone Golems would sacrifice countless evil spirits and ghouls in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range through the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s secret method in order to turn the Star Behemoth that had been buried here into the strongest Heavenly Corpse?
Who would have thought that, though partially awakened, it had managed to plunge them into a frenzied killing state with merely its flesh aura?
Many outsider grand monarchs drifted away in thought. “Star Behemoths from the Primal Era...”
Since all of the grand monarchs that were gathered here had only lived a few hundred thousand years, they didn’t have any personal experience of the Primal Era either.
Their fear towards the Star Behemoth was merely deep-seated in their bloodlines, and hidden in the deepest parts of their memories.
They didn’t actually know firsthand how mighty the Star Behemoths had been, or how they had gradually vanished from this starry river.
Now, a Star Behemoth that had been dead for who knew how long had only been partially awakened, and yet it had managed to influence them so deeply that they had lost their minds.
All of them started to attach great importance to the Star Behemoths, and planned to go through every ancient record they could find and exhaust all means to learn about them after returning to their respective headquarters.
Grand Monarch Primal Demon, who had recovered his high-tier Demon form, flew over and came to a stop in midair in front of Mo Heng. Fixing his purple, crystal-like eyes on him, he said, “Even though you lost your duel against me, you fought brilliantly. I defeated you, but I couldn’t kill you. The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s reserve power is indeed extraordinary.”
Mo Heng bowed slightly and said humbly, “It’s very kind of you to say this, Grand Monarch.”
Grand Monarch Primal Demon took his time sweeping his gaze over the God domain experts that were gathered in this place, and then said, “Farewell.”
SHEW!
He morphed into a bolt of purple lightning and flew away from the heart of the Shatter Battlefield, which was now in complete ruins.
After him, all of the other outsider grand monarchs left successively with strange looks on their faces.
“The fight between the other parties should have ended as well. If not, I’ll end it for them.” Qu Yi from the Void Spirit Society pondered for a moment before suddenly vanishing with his Void Mirror.
Ji Yuanquan and Ye Wenhan exchanged a glance before they also split open a spatial rift and disappeared into it.
...
In the mountain valley where Wei Lai, Dou Tianchen, Lou Hongyan, Hou Chulan, and many other Saint domain experts were gathered.
As the tiny colorful crystals gradually vanished from the grand patriarchs’ flesh aura seas, they were freed from the Star Behemoth’s control as well.
However, the battle didn’t end as it should have.
The reason was because some Demon and Phantasm grand patriarchs had died at the hands of Saint domain Divine Sons and Daughters when the flames of battle had first spread to this area.
Later, as the battle carried on, a number of Saint domain cultivators had perished as well.
Unlike the battle between God domain experts and grand monarchs that had taken place in the depths of the Shatter Battlefield, the battle between Saint domain cultivators and grand monarchs had resulted in casualties, even though it hadn’t lasted very long.
The deaths of their clan members had made the outsiders and Ancientspirits reluctant to stop the battle, even after they had sobered up.
SHEW!
Qu Yi suddenly appeared in midair.
HOOOOWL!
Outsider grand monarchs let out roars that spread through heaven and earth, instructing their clan members to withdraw.
At the same time, the fighting cultivators saw Qu Yi, and finally stopped.
Gradually, the outsiders, Ancientbeasts, and dragons collected the bodies of their dead clan members and evacuated from the Shatter Battlefield.
Ninth grade grand patriarchs could be brought back to life as long as their hearts hadn’t been destroyed.
Most of the grand patriarchs that had died still had their hearts intact. Once they were taken back to their clans, their seniors would be able to help them regenerate flesh and blood, and revive them with their own flesh auras.
It was similar with the humans.
They could also be brought back to life as long as their souls were secured.
Qi Lianshan from the Void Spirit Society couldn’t help but ask, “What on earth happened in the depths of the Shatter Battlefield, Sectmaster? Is the battle over?”
Qu Yi nodded. “It’s over. Thanks to Nie Tian and his master, Wu Ji, this calamity was ended before it could take us all.”
“Nie Tian?! Where is he?!” Yan Zhan asked urgently.
