Chapter 1441: The Mysterious Floating Continent
Scotte’s furious roar seemed to ignite the old enmity that had built up in the hearts of the outsider grand monarchs, and their eyes grew dark and fierce.
A great battle could break out at any moment!
However, Fan Tianze from the Heaven Span Pavilion felt greatly relieved seeing that the situation was developing in a direction that was favorable to him. Anticipation filled his eyes as he observed the situation.
If the Ancientspirits entered an intense battle against these outsider grand monarchs in this area of the starry river, no matter who emerged victorious eventually, it might help the humans tide out the major crisis they were now facing.
Pei Qiqi, who was anxious about failing to get Nie Tian and Fan Tianze out of this area because of the spatial restrictions of the Phantasms’ Wheel of Time and Space, also calmed down.
As long as a fierce battle broke out and the spatial restrictions were undermined, she would be able to leave with Nie Tian and Fan Tianze with the help of her Space Boundaries Crystal.
She also waited in silence.
FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!
All of a sudden, the Star Behemoth bone Nie Tian had summoned from within his ring of holding started shining with blood-colored light.
Taken aback, Nie Tian fixed it with a confused look.
At this moment, Grand Monarch Bloodlust of the Demons gave a nasty grin and asked, “Do you really want to start a fight with us? Be warned that you won’t have any advantage over us even if we’re to fight in the human world! Plus, once a fight breaks out between us, it’ll end our invasion of the human world prematurely.”
“You’d better think about the consequences!” Grand Monarch Unholy Wind of the Phantasms chimed in with an icy look in his eyes. “We’re invading the Mortal World for the continuation of our races! The Spirit World will soon be exhausted! If you insist on going to war with us, you’ll be killing the future of your people!”
“We don’t have to fight as long as you give Fata to us!” Scotte bellowed. “He carries a special bloodline. We’ll have to rely on him in the future!”
He was joined by many Ancientspirits.
“Give Fata to us!”
“We can let you off for injuring Grand Monarch Primal Wood, but Fata has to be safe!”
“Grand Monarch Life Wood has done us many favors! Fata is his son. We have to keep him alive when Grand Monarch Life Wood isn’t around to protect him!”
Fata, who had been sagging his head and waiting for his death sentence, was suddenly spirited.
Looking at the enormous dragons, the mountain-like titans, and the Golden-feathered Divine Finch, he felt a warmth in his heart, and that what his father had done to help these Ancientspirits over the years had paid off at this moment.
FZZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!
While the Ancientspirits and the outsider grand monarchs were at each other’s throats, Nie Tian fixed his eyes on the Star Behemoth bone, which was behaving strangely.
He quietly condensed a wisp of his soul awareness and sent it into the bone.
BOOM!
The moment his soul awareness entered the bone, it seemed to open a gate to another world, an image unfurling in front of him.
A vast, blackish gray continent that was wreathed in thick gray air was flying through the void at a high speed.
The continent seemed to consist of two parallel lands.
After a quick look at it, Nie Tian shuddered violently. “Floating continent!”
This continent made of two parallel floating lands had been quietly drifting in the depths of the starry river. Very few people knew of its existence.
He had visited it a few times, and learned that a Star Behemoth had been lying dormant in the depths of the black sea on the bottom land.
During his most recent visit, he had met Demons and Ancientbeasts who had gone there to seek advances in their bloodlines and collect the corpses of their clansmen.
Furthermore, the Star Behemoth on that floating continent had an agreement with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, which allowed disciples of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace to go temper themselves on the floating continent.
Of course, they would have to follow the rules set by the Star Behemoth.
Now, this continent that used to be a super-large-scale realm and could spontaneously channel power from the starry river to maintain its vitality was flying somewhere at a high speed. What was happening to it?
Why did this bone, which he had revived with his Blood Essence, allow him to see these images?
WHOOSH!
An ancient and immense awareness suddenly came through to him from the images he was looking at.
It was the Star Behemoth on that floating continent!
“Get out of there, now!” The Star Behemoth’s awareness told him to leave where he was.
BOOM!
In the next moment, Nie Tian’s soul awareness that he had sent into the bone was scattered and returned to his sea of awareness.
After snapping back to reality, he saw that the tension between the Ancientspirits and the outsider grand monarchs had become even stronger, as if a battle could break out at any moment.
A light of enlightenment flashed across Nie Tian’s mind. “If it’s urging me to leave, then it must mean that the floating continent is flying here! Is that Star Behemoth controlling the floating continent to fly to this place? Why is it telling me to leave?”
Nie Tian’s head was filled with questions.
“Enough talk!”
Scotte the lightning dragon finally ran out of patience. As his ten thousand meter-long silver body wound in the void, numerous blinding lightning balls that were infused with his flesh power came to form.
Every single one of them contained as much lightning power as that of a Saint domain cultivator’s lighting domain!
Together, the several dozen thunderballs were equal to several dozen lightning domains filled with devastating lightning power!
“Give Fata to us!”
As Scotte whipped his tail, a long river of lightning came to form in the void.
Countless bits of crystalline light could be seen in the dazzling river of lightning. Each and every one of them seemed to contain Scotte’s lifetime understanding of the great Dao of lightning and thunder!
“Quit challenging our patience!” The Golden-feathered Divine Finch’s golden feathers suddenly burst forth with suffocating golden light, as if they started burning with golden flames.
A power that was sharp enough to pierce through any wards and shields rapidly built up within the feathers.
By simply looking at her, Nie Tian felt a stabbing pain in his eyes.
Even Fan Tianze was full of respect as he said, “Each and every golden feather of that Golden-feathered Divine Finch has been refined with her Blood Essence and soul power for hundreds of years. With any one of them, she can easily pierce through any realm in the Domain of the Falling Stars.”
Nie Tian seemed somewhat uncomfortable after hearing this. “Not the realms in other domains?”
“The realms that are protected by large-scale spell formations might be able to resist a bit.” Fan Tianze didn’t take his word back. “However, none of the nine realms of the Domain of the Falling Stars have an ancient spell formation that can protect a whole realm.”
Nie Tian suddenly changed the topic. “An unforeseen event might happen soon, Senior Fan.”
Fan Tianze was taken aback. “What?”
“Have you heard about the floating continent?” Nie Tian whispered.
“The floating continent?” After thinking for a moment, Fan Tianze nodded slightly. “I have. In fact, I heard about the wonders of that floating continent from Ji Cang, your sectmaster. He said that a sectmaster of your sect made an agreement with an ancient being that ruled that floating continent.
“Ji Cang himself went to temper himself on the floating continent several times before becoming the Lord of the Stars.
“Why do you ask?”
Pei Qiqi had her interest sparked by the topic, and joined the conversation. “The floating continent is full of wonders. I suppose the ancient being hiding in the depths of that black sea is a Star Behemoth, right?”
Nie Tian took a deep breath and said, “It and the floating continent are approaching this area at a high speed!”
Fan Tianze stood aghast. “Approaching here?”
Nie Tian nodded. “That’s right. It’s heading here. I just had a brief communication with it with this bone. It told me to get out of here as soon as possible.”
Surprised, Pei Qiqi asked, “What does it want?”
“I’ve no idea,” Nie Tian said, looking somewhat frustrated.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
The river of lightning Scotte had created with a lash of his long tail slammed towards Grand Monarch Pale Bones of the Bonebrutes like an enormous whip. “Give us Fata, then we can talk!”
BOOM!
Grand Monarch Pale Bones, who was at the middle tenth grade, suddenly activated his Impregnable Form. As soon as he did, his pale bones grew translucent and sparkling, and he expanded at an alarming rate.
Before the river of lightning could reach him, he assumed an enormous size and called out in the Bonebrute language, “Pergson!”
“Here you go!”
With these words, Pergson of the Bonebrutes tossed their race’s precious treasure, the Bone Shatterer, to him.
As soon as the bone blade fell into Grand Monarch Pale Bones’s hand, extremely rich death power poured into his surroundings like a flood.
At the same time, Nie Tian’s Star Behemoth bone once again burst forth with dazzling light.
A secret soul message came from within it. “The Bone Shatterer was made from a bone taken from the Bone Emperor.”
