Lord of All Realms

Pei Qiqi looked as if she was facing a formidable foe.

Just earlier, she had confronted Xuan Guangyu, who was also at the middle God domain, and behaved calmly and composedly.

However, she was so nervous now, when she was only facing a soul shadow formed by a wisp of Fan Tianze’s sword intent. This proved how different Fan Tianze was from Xuan Guangyu in her eyes.

The stream of Fan Tianze’s sword intent morphed into a smaller version of his true form, which fixed Pei Qiqi with a curious, measuring look. “You’re Pei Qiqi, right?”

It was merely a stream of sword intent vested with a wisp of soul awareness. However, Pei Qiqi was overtaken by a peculiar feeling that everything about her, including even her bloodline wonders, was being completely exposed before someone.

Her heart sank.

For some reason, she had a strong feeling that Fan Tianze was far stronger than Xuan Guangyu, even though they were both at the middle God domain, and that he was capable of doing many things that Xuan Guangyu wasn’t or didn’t dare to do.

The fact that a stream of his power managed to go through the energy shield created by the Star Behemoth was enough evidence of his might.

Subconsciously, she took a glance at Nie Tian, who was still absorbed in cultivation in a place that was a certain distance from her.

Seeing that she didn’t answer his first question, Fan Tianze asked another one, his soul voice coming from within his sword intent. “Is that the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?”

Looking somewhat reluctant, Pei Qiqi nodded and said, “You see everything, Senior. I’m Pei Qiqi, and my master is Qu Yi from the Void Spirit Society.”

After a brief pause, she turned to shoot Nie Tian a glance. “He’s the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.”

In such a short time after the arrival of Fan Tianze’s sword intent, it had already morphed and expanded into a distinct sub-soul, which was almost identical to his true form, except that it was illusory.

They even had the exact same size and shape.

If Xuan Guangyu from the Void Spirit Society were here, he would be shocked to see that Fan Tianze could actually communicate with Pei Qiqi without any barriers.

Furthermore, since Fan Tianze was at the middle God domain, even though he had only sent a wisp of his power through the shield into this unique space, he could threaten Pei Qiqi and Nie Tian’s lives if he wanted to.

“You can quit using your master to pressure me,” Fan Tianze said casually. “Even though he’s the noble sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society, I don’t have to give him face.”

Pei Qiqi looked down and said obediently, “I understand.”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Wisps of profound sword intent suddenly separated themselves and rose from Fan Tianze’s sub-soul, and flew towards Nie Tian like numerous invisible blades that could only be detected by souls.

Pei Qiqi’s expression flickered drastically as she exclaimed, “Senior!”

Fan Tianze snorted and said, “Don’t worry. I’m only curious about him.”

Wisps of sword intent that were only detectable by souls surrounded Nie Tian in the blink of an eye.

As soon as this happened, the rich flame power, star power, and wood power that were being attracted by Nie Tian’s flame spark, Nine Stars Flower, and Godspirit Tree, and streaming into him were intercepted.

Nie Tian’s dantian region instantly stopped receiving these powers.

In the next moment, Nie Tian’s eyes snapped open. He stared at Fan Tianze and asked, “Who are you?!

“This is a unique space created by a Star Behemoth. If you want to gather the kinds of power that’ll benefit you, you might as well do it, but why interfere with my cultivation?”

Pei Qiqi hastily rushed over, fearing that Nie Tian would offend Fan Tianze, not knowing who he was. “Nie Tian, this is Senior Fan Tianze from the Heaven Span Pavilion.” 

Since Fan Tianze was able to send a stream of his sword intent in here, he would most certainly be able to enter in his true form or dharma idol form.

Pei Qiqi was deeply apprehensive about this man, and feared that once he entered in his dharma idol form, it would give rise to great changes, therefore putting an end to her and Nie Tian’s cultivation in this blessed heaven and earth.

Fan Tianze’s sub-soul took a deep look at Nie Tian and muttered, “The junior who defeated Ophelia of the Demon race... Quite a character… And the bloodline... I’ve never seen any outsider that carries a bloodline like this. It’s sort of like a Floragrim bloodline, but with an added layer of mystery. Such an aura...”

He seemed absorbed in his thoughts.

He even had seniority over Chu Yuan, the current sectmaster of the Heaven Span Pavilion. He had spent most of his life traveling among different domains, and thus had made contact with numerous outsider races.

His horizon was broader than most God domain experts.

Pei Qiqi’s words surprised Nie Tian. His expression flickered slightly as he thought to himself, “Fan Tianze from the Heaven Span Pavilion...”

He had also heard this name on various occasions, and knew that he was a man of great importance. Therefore, he decided to hold his temper.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The wisps of Fan Tianze’s intercepting sword intent quietly retreated.

Nie Tian could absorb power with the help of the three rare treasures in his spiritual sea again.

As soon as he resumed cultivation, he sensed rapid changes in all of his spiritual cores.

He was confident that he would be able to break through into the late Soul realm within a short period of time.

He might even be able to push his cultivation base further if he was given enough time.

BZZZ!

A drop of Nie Tian’s Blood Essence was suddenly channeled by Fan Tianze’s sub-soul.

It was a drop of Blood Essence Nie Tian had generated to nourish the bone.

He hadn’t foreseen Fan Tianze’s sudden arrival, and thus hadn’t had a chance to hide it.

It was pulled into Fan Tianze’s sub-soul, where sword intent that was hundreds of times fiercer pierced into it and dissolved it in a split second.

The drop of Blood Essence shattered like a gem that had exploded, sending countless sparkling, blood-colored fragments in all directions.

What was even more amazing was that as this happened, Fan Tianze’s sub-soul experienced an incredible change.

It seemed to suddenly be vested with flesh and blood!

Even Pei Qiqi, who was observing from the side, sensed the change with great clarity. In her senses, Fan Tianze’s sub-soul seemed to suddenly transform from illusory to solid.

Such a transformation was similar to the transformation of a cultivator’s domain when they broke through from the Void domain into the Saint domain, where the illusory domain condensed into a solid form.

Fan Tianze’s sub-soul gasped, his widened eyes bursting with astonishment.

However, such an incredible change only lasted a few seconds before the wonder vanished, as if the power within that drop of Nie Tian’s Blood Essence was exhausted.

That was when Fan Tianze’s sub-soul that seemed to be flesh and blood rapidly returned to its original illusory state.

Even so, great excitement filled the eyes of Fan Tianze’s sub-soul, which seemed to be two clusters of flickering flames.

“Such wondrous bloodline... It almost turned my illusory sub-soul into a solid doppelganger. I can’t believe such incredible bloodline wonders actually exist!” As Fan Tianze muttered on, his soul voice gradually grew faint. Moments later, he came out of his daze and said to Pei Qiqi, “Xuan Guangyu from your sect seemed to hope that I could break the energy shield so that he could come down here and do what he wants.”

Pei Qiqi’s eyes grew cold. “He still hasn’t left? Is he really so bent on undermining me?”
