BANG! BANG! BANG!
Eighth grade dragons, Vermillion Birds, and Heaven Flame Beasts were reduced to bloody mist.
More and more clusters of gray auras flew from the floating continent like swirling sharp blades.
Many low-grade Ancientspirits and Demons that had arrived with Ophelia died miserably upon contact with the swirling gray auras.
The Ripper Behemoth’s mad roars rumbled through the void.
Some fleeing Phantasms bled from their eyes and fell dead.
The stronger their souls were, the more they suffered from the Ripper Behemoth’s soul cries.
“Soul-ripping cries!”
Many Phantasms had their souls shredded and scattered like smoke.
All of a sudden, an overwhelming gravitational force was born in the floating continent.
All of the dragons, Ancientbeasts, Phantasms, and Demons that had suffered violent deaths were pulled towards the floating continent, both their mangled bodies and shredded souls.
Staring at the unwavering floating continent, the remaining Ancientspirit and outsider grand monarchs finally saw the cruel truth.
“Let’s get out of here now!”
“Get away from this Ripper Behemoth!”
“Its power isn’t something we can fight against!”
Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian glanced around with rapt attention. Wherever he looked, he saw exploded bodies and shattered souls.
The Ripper Behemoth, however, simply floated in the gray flesh aura sea that surrounded the vast floating continent.
Even Nie Tian couldn’t see through the thick gray mists to get a clear view of it.
However, he could tell that even after brutally killing and devouring so many Ancientspirits and outsiders, it still hadn’t eaten its fill.
In fact, it was far from being full!
With a knitted brow, Nie Tian thought to himself, “The amount of flesh power I needed for my bloodline to advance from the eighth to the ninth grade was already astronomical. The amount of flesh power this Ripper Behemoth has to take in every time it’s awakened must be vastly greater than that.
“Grand Monarch Dark Nether’s flesh power wasn’t rich enough. Grand Monarch Blood Axe and the ninth grade grand patriarchs definitely weren’t enough to satisfy its appetite.”
Miserable shrieks echoed out from time to time as Ancientspirits and outsiders of different races exploded and died, their flesh auras and soul strands absorbed by the floating continent.
This area of the starry river, where the Ancientspirits had been recuperating, became hell on earth.
The God domain human experts, who hadn’t been targeted yet, fixed their eyes on the floating continent. With an increasingly strong desire to leave, they couldn’t help but talk to those who had taken them here.
“Such a terrifying behemoth!”
“This overlord of the Primal Era is stunning indeed! It seems we’d better leave as soon as possible.”
“Is its hunger really going to plunge it into a frenzied state?”
However, Xuan Guangyu’s eyes flickered, as if he were waiting for something.
Chu Rui took a deep breath and made his decision. “We need to get out of here. Miss Pei, Brother Ji, let’s go. These Ancientspirits and outsiders aren’t enough to fill its stomach. Hunger will drive it insane and make it attack any nearby living being.
“When there are no living beings left around it, it’ll head out to find realms with rich spiritual energies.
“In ancient times, numerous realms that were full of vigor had their energies drained by Star Behemoths like this one, and became dead realms.”
“Alright, let’s go.” Ji Yuanquan from the Void Spirit Society then ushered everyone to the spatial rift he had created that led to the Heaven Span Pavilion’s headquarters.
“Come on, Nie Tian. Let’s go.” Chu Rui said. “We’ll talk and see if we can find a way to contain this Star Behemoth.”
Pei Qiqi, Yu Suying, and Mo Qianfan all turned to fix their eyes on him.
“Why don’t you go ahead? I’ll stay a bit longer.” Nie Tian said, still paying close attention to the floating continent. “It hasn’t entered a frenzied state yet. Perhaps there’s something I can do. I’ll leave if it actually loses its mind.”
Chu Rui gave him a stern look. “It may be too late then.”
CRACK!
At that moment, a bone cage in the distance suddenly exploded.
Fata, who had been imprisoned in the cage by death power, broke free.
After regaining his freedom, Fata cast a glance at the floating continent, and then the Bonebrutes that were retreating after the other outsider races. “As revolting as the Bonebrutes are, they enjoy certain advantages while others don’t. For example, even the Ripper Behemoth doesn’t seem to have much interest in them.”
He had been observing during this time he had been trapped in the bone cage.
He had long since expected that the Demons, Phantasms, and Fiends would suffer heavy casualties after the arrival of the Ripper Behemoth on the floating continent.
The Ancientspirits wouldn’t be spared either.
The Bonebrutes, however, would suffer the least casualties.
Without flesh or blood, the Bonebrutes only had pale-white bones that exuded a death aura. The Ripper Behemoth would never make them its first choice.
The Ripper Behemoth wasn’t even scrupulous about devouring the Fiends that contained deadly toxins.
However, it only killed the Bonebrutes with its tearing power, but left their shattered bones alone afterwards.
Also, because the bone cage that contained him was wreathed in death power, he didn’t fall victim to the Ripper Behemoth.
Only after the Bonebrute grand patriarch that had created the bone cage was annihilated and the death power in the bone cage dissipated was he finally able to break free.
Fata glanced around and called out upon seeing Nie Tian, “Nie Tian!”
WHOOSH!
Grabbing pieces of broken bones from the cage, Fata cautiously circled around the floating continent and flew towards Nie Tian. “Help me, Nie Tian! Take me away from this damned place. I have things to tell you!”
“He’s the son of Grand Monarch Life Wood,” Fan Tianze said, looking somewhat hesitant. “Do we take him with us, Nie Tian?”
“Grand Monarch Life Wood’s son… That’s not just anyone.” Ye Wenhan whispered.
“I’ll take care of him,” Nie Tian said. “Grand Monarch Primal Wood of the Floragrims was jointly attacked and injured by the Demon, Bonebrute, and Phantasm grand monarchs. They practically kicked the Floragrims out of their alliance. Even if Grand Monarch Primal Wood recovers, I doubt they’ll work with the Demons, Bonebrutes, and Phantasms anymore.”
“You guys talk it out, but we’ve got to go,” Shangguan Zhi from the Shadow Society said.
At this moment, Pei Qiqi, who was ready to spin the Space Boundaries Crystal at any moment, suddenly exclaimed, “Hmm?!”
“What?” Nie Tian asked.
“You should leave,” she said to the others. “I’ll take Nie Tian back and make sure he’s safe.”
With these words, she gave Yu Suying and Mo Qianfan a meaningful glance and added, “Go to the Seven Stars Realm Sea.”
The two early God domain experts, who only took orders from Nie Tian, went blank upon hearing this.
They turned to look at Nie Tian.
Nie Tian nodded. “Do as she says.”
“Got it!” Yu Suying and Mo Qianfan flew into the spatial rift Ji Yuanquan had split open.
“Nie Tian!” Chu Rui and Fan Tianze tried to persuade Nie Tian to leave with them.
“I’ll leave in a bit!” Nie Tian exclaimed softly and flew off towards Fata.
Pei Qiqi followed along without hesitation.
As the Ripper Behemoth continued killing the Ancientspirits and outsiders that lagged behind, the human experts streamed through the spatial rifts created by Ji Yuanquan and Xuan Guangyu, and vanished.
They all feared that hunger would make the Star Behemoth lay its lands on them.
The Star Behemoth was still in full possession of its faculties at the moment. That was why neither its flesh power attacks nor ripping soul voice targeted the humans.
After all, it had an agreement with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, and Xuan Guangyu was the one who had awakened it.
Plus, no matter how many humans it devoured, it wouldn’t stop it from being hungry.
Therefore, it wouldn’t attack humans as long as it was still in possession of its faculties. However, it would be completely different if it fell into a frenzied state.
Pei Qiqi quietly leaned over and spun the Space Boundaries Crystal to show Nie Tian the facet that was locked onto the Seven Stars Realm Sea. “Look, Nie Tian.”
With a single glance at it, Nie Tian exclaimed in astonishment, “Why is that happening?”
He saw that the level of the Seven Stars Realm Sea was gradually rising.
He distinctly remembered that the Seven Stars Realm Sea had almost been drained by the black tortoise, the bone, and himself when he had sought breakthroughs in both his cultivation and bloodline.
Why was it being replenished?
“Don’t tell me that there’s some sort of secret connection between the Seven Stars Realm Sea and the floating continent.” Pei Qiqi suspected. “Many battles have broken out in the Domain of Heaven Span recently. However, the Seven Stars Realm Sea didn’t change much until just now. Is it because two grand monarchs and a large number of Ancientspirits have been killed here?”
Nie Tian said, “But weren’t their flesh aura seas devoured by that Ripper Behemoth?”
“Whatever, the activation of that portal in the Seven Stars Realm Sea relies on the mixed energies in the Seven Stars Realm Sea,” Pei Qiqi said. “We need the Seven Stars Realm Sea to replenish to reenter the Void World. I’ll keep a close watch on it and see if I can find the reason behind this.”
“Great.”
