Like a falling star, the Star Boat flew to the mountaintop, dragging a tail of glorious starlight behind it as it did.
WHOOSH!
The Star Boat slowly landed.
Elder Mo Li hastily stepped forward and greeted Nie Tian before the Star Boat even touched the ground.
Full of smiles, he bowed in a very humble manner. “Greetings, Young Lord Nie.”
Mo Qinglei, who knew Nie Tian, thought that he would be able to face him with confidence. However, upon seeing Mo Li’s humble attitude, he forced himself to bow to Nie Tian as well.
He and Mo Li had the noblest statuses among those who were currently gathered on the mountain peak. Since the two of them were treating Nie Tian with such respect, the others could only be even more respectful.
The mountaintop was instantly filled with cheerful greetings.
“Greetings, Seventh Son of the Stars!”
“Greetings, Young Lord Nie!”
“This humble one is…”
Upon hearing the loud greetings and self-introductions, the experts from the other local sects and clans in the Domain of Endless Thunder that had gathered from nearby mountaintops immediately realized who Nie Tian was.
“Nie Tian, the seventh Son of the Stars!”
“The one whose name has recently spread far and wide, and has become the most popular star across the human domains!”
Gathered around the mountaintop were Qi warriors from many local clans and sects. There were males and females, whose cultivation bases varied. However, each and every one of them held a lofty status in the Domain of Endless Thunder.
There were many female Qi warriors among them. Some were gentle and charming. Some were icy and gorgeous, while others were playful and adorable.
All of them fixed their gazes on Nie Tian, intense feelings filling their eyes. “So he’s Nie Tian…”
Standing on the mountaintop, Nie Tian, who had recently experienced an upgrade in his bloodline, had become even more robust. Even without activating Life Strengthening, he was considerably taller than Mo Li, Mo Qinglei, and the others around him.
He looked like a crane in a flock of chickens standing in the crowd. Adding in the fact that Mo Li, Mo Qinglei, and all of the others were bowing towards him, he looked even more outstanding and towering.
After years of adventure, Nie Tian had long since shed his immaturity. He had experienced numerous deadly battles and magnificent scenes. Both his appearance and mind had gone through major changes.
The confidence, strength, perseverance, and tenacity he exuded appealed to many.
Adding in his lofty status…
Adoring gazes fixed on him from different directions. Looking at him, many talented young women from across the Domain of Endless Thunder couldn’t help but slowly, subconsciously approach him.
Before, most of these famous beauties had considered Mo Qinglei as their ideal mate.
However, as they saw Mo Qinglei bow his head towards Nie Tian and associated Nie Tian with the noble man who had recently earned his name across the human domains, they all secretly fell for him.
As the young beauties approached bit by bit, Mo Li suddenly exclaimed softy, “That’s close enough!”
As a respected elder of the Mo Clan, he enjoyed a very lofty status in the Domain of Endless Thunder. Upon seeing the unpleasant look in his eyes, the leaders of the other local forces all lifted their hands, signaling their female juniors who had come here with them to stop approaching.
“We saw the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s Star Boat, and thus hoped to come to see the Son of the Stars and pay our respects,” One of the girls said.
Mo Li took a glance around and said with a grim face, “The clanmaster of my clan is at his most crucial moment. Your focus should be up there.”
With these words, he pointed skywards.
All of those gathered from nearby mountaintops fell silent upon hearing this.
Their faces gradually grew grim again as they summoned their air-transportation spiritual tools and stood on them. Floating around the mountaintop, they looked up at the changes in the heavens, but at the same time, paid close attention to Nie Tian, who had suddenly arrived.
They all wanted to hear the purpose of his arrival.
“Nie, Nie Tian. I think I’ll just call you Nie Tian.” Mo Qinglei said, looking somewhat embarrassed. Without mincing words, he continued, “I heard that you said you can help my father enter the God domain. Is that true?”
Upon hearing his words, all of the nearby well-known figures from the Domain of Endless Thunder gasped.
A clamor instantly overtook the crowd of close to a hundred Void and Saint domain Qi warriors, as if they had been ignited.
Many beautiful young women, each with their unique qualities, fixed Nie Tian with feverish gazes, as if they couldn’t wait to swallow him whole.
“Enter the God domain?”
“He said he can help Mo Qianfan enter the God domain?”
“Is the God domain so easily reached? Even the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Void Spirit Society, the Five Elements Sect, and the Heaven Span Pavilion have to go through great difficulties before they can make a God domain expert!”
“Even his Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace only has one God domain expert, Chu Rui, they can rely on now!”
“If they could make more God domain experts so effortlessly, how would their thirteen subordinate domains still be in turmoil?”
Everyone discussed and shouted aloud, even drowning out Mo Li’s loud berating for them to stop.
However, most of them calmed down shortly afterwards.
Doubt and distrust started to fill their eyes as they measured Nie Tian, as if they thought that he might just be talking big.
Even the young women who were somewhat obsessed with Nie Tian gradually grew silent as they heard their seniors’ whispers. They started to think that no matter how extraordinary Nie Tian was, he probably didn’t have what it took to help Mo Qianfan from the Heavenly Thunder Sect break his cultivation barriers and enter the God domain.
Everyone knew what entering the God domain meant, and how dangerous and difficult the breakthrough was.
Under the gazes of Mo Li, Mo Qinglei, and the crowd of noble cultivators from the Domain of Endless Thunder, Nie Tian said in a composed manner, “I can’t guarantee my success.”
Hearing this, Mo Qinglei’s face grew a bit grim, as if he had already accepted the possible result. “I understand. Judging by the signs, my father’s breakthrough is most likely going to fail…”
“However, I do think we have a good chance,” Nie Tian added.
Mo Qinglei’s eyes instantly lit up again.
Nie Tian took a deep breath and said to Mo Li and Mo Qinglei, “I’m heading up into the heavens. After I do, you don’t need to do anything. In fact, I’m only going to give something to him. The final result will depend on Sectmaster Mo himself.”
SHEW!
Nie Tian leapt off his Star Boat and shot into the heavens.
BOOOOM!
As he did, an immense flesh aura burst forth from within him, spreading like a sea of thick, blood-colored aura that bred countless changes.
His unique and most mysterious bloodline aura rapidly pervaded the whole area.
On the mountaintop, Qi warriors from the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Mo Clan, and the other local forces looked up at Nie Tian, who was shooting into the heavens, and his constantly morphing sea of crimson aura. They felt that even their own life power fields were being channeled in a profound way, as if their lifespans would be prolonged as long as they remained within the aura’s range of influence.
This peculiar feeling intoxicated them.
Mo Li looked down and muttered to himself. “Odd. This is so very odd. The aura he releases is actually making me feel full of vigor.”
Mo Qinglei gasped and asked, “You have that feeling too?”
“We do too!” The surrounding members of the Heavenly Thunder Sect and the Mo Clan chimed in, saying that they also felt relaxed and soothed by Nie Tian’s unique aura.
One of them even felt that Nie Tian’s pervading flesh aura was healing old injuries that had bothered him for ages.
“What?! Even your old injuries are being healed?!”
“Yes, that’s what I’m feeling!”
“What in the world is this Son of the Stars’ bloodline?”
Everyone found this fascinating.
SHEW!
In the heavens that were filled with flashing lightning and rolling thunder, Mo Qianfan’s domain had condensed into a simple, unsophisticated altar.
At this moment, Mo Qianfan was sitting in the lotus position on the solid altar made of lightning. Countless electric arcs could be seen flowing in it like ripples.
Lightning bolts continued to strike down from the thunderclouds overhead, cleansing Mo Qianfan’s body. However, they couldn’t seem to fuse into the lightning altar.
“You…” Mo Qianfan’s eyes snapped open, his face twisted. Violent lightning exploded in the depths of his eyes before vanishing in the next moment.
Agony was written across his face. “Son of the Stars, Nie Tian! Why are you here? Don’t come any closer. I, I can barely hold on.
“Once my domain explodes, I’ll undoubtedly perish, body and soul. I won’t even have a chance to be reborn. So please, for the sake of the grand elder, help my sect when they face calamities!”
Mo Qianfan sounded as if he was making arrangements for after his death with his last dying gasp.
