WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
A mighty storm formed at the outer layers of the glorious sphere as it traveled forward with an all-crushing momentum.
Any floating meteors or falling stars that got in its way would explode and be reduced to ashes upon contact with it.
“Mighty indeed.” Gou Junhao from the Heavenly Changes Pavilion, who was following from a great distance, said with a bitter smile. “I sent a wisp of my strengthened soul will into the outer layers of the glowing sphere, and it perished after only three seconds.”
They had purposely lagged behind and sealed themselves inside a spiritual power ward they created, so they could communicate in secret.
“What incantations does the seventh Son of the Stars practice?” Yan Bin asked with a serious expression. “That magnetic field of his is filled with raging, twisting, and ripping power. It clearly doesn’t come from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s Fragmentary Star Incantation.”
“Perhaps it comes from his hybrid bloodline,” Fu Yusen said.
The three Saint domain experts whispered to each other about whether Nie Tian’s magnetic field would be able to wipe out the powerful experts of the Domain of Dark Marsh as it had done with the experts of the Domain of Spirit Sea.
They hated Feng Jieling of the Feng Clan from the Domain of Dark Marsh to the guts, yet they didn’t dare to provoke her.
Therefore, they strongly hoped that Nie Tian’s appearance would make her suffer.
“Feng Jieling is no ordinary woman,” Gou Junhao said in a low voice. “I bet she’s made preparations.”
RUMBLE! RUUUUMBLE!
Waves of violent spiritual power fluctuations suddenly spread out from the berthed fleet of starships from the Domain of Dark Marsh.
Like dense drumbeats, they slammed everyone’s chests, causing minor pain in their hearts.
Yan Bin’s expression flickered with astonishment as he heard the dense drumbeats and sensed the intense fluctuations. An exclamation escaped his mouth. “The Jade Heaven Sect’s Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons!”
Gou Junhao shuddered. “The Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons! I can’t believe that the Jade Heaven Sect actually got their twenty-four Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons here! Are they mad? Without them, their sect-protecting grand spell formation loses eighty percent of its might!”
Fu Yusen let out a sigh and said, “I suppose the Jade Heaven Sect doesn’t want Nie Tian to go any further. Their hope is to kill him with this one attempt!”
“They’ve even brought their Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons here. I’m afraid Nie Tian won’t be able to go any further.”
The three Saint domain experts discussed heatedly, suddenly feeling that the odds were against Nie Tian now.
…
In front of a fleet of starships that emanated an ice-cold luster.
Qi warriors from across the Domain of Dark Marsh were filled with confidence as they looked at twenty-four shiny silver cannons, each of which was several dozen meters tall.
The Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons were lined up to point towards the approaching glorious sphere.
Each and every Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannon was engraved with numerous exquisite patterns that looked like winding running rivers, and emanated terrifying spiritual power fluctuations.
Floating in the void over the twenty-four Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons, Feng Jieling let out a cold snort and said with a harsh tone, “Nie Tian! You parentless little hybrid bastard! I don’t care why you’re here, but if you dare to come any closer, we’ll kill you right here, right now!”
“So what if you’re a Son of the Stars?” An elder of the Jade Heaven Sect taunted. “Zu Guangyao, Xin Qing, and Han Wanrong are your sect elders, yet our sectmaster captured them anyway. If you’ve come for them, you’ll only end up dead.”
“Get lost!”
“Get the hell out of our domain!”
Many local Qi warriors cursed loudly, as if the appearance of the Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons had filled them with confidence.
“Nie Tian…” Mo Qianfan’s soft exclamation traveled through the void like a flash of lightning.
“Will he be able to hear you?” Dong Li asked.
Though suspicious, Mo Qianfan brought himself to say, “I hope so. What Sectmaster Yu said was right. Those Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons have unmatched power. Nie Tian needs to be sober when facing the Feng Clan and the coalition forces of the Domain of Dark Marsh.”
A dark vicious look flashed across Yu Suying’s icy eyes as she said with bitter hatred in her voice, “There are twenty-four Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons. Together, they constitute an Immortal grade divine tool. Those cannons are the core parts of the Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Divine Formation, so they’re usually kept in the Jade Heaven Sect’s headquarters.
“However, they can also be shipped away to annihilate powerful enemies elsewhere.
“My sect has fought the Jade Heaven Sect for ages. Who knows how many members of my sect have been bombarded to death by them?”
With these words, she suddenly cast her gaze down and added, “Even the premature demise of my master was caused by it. Back then, her cultivation base was the same as mine, which was the early God domain. During a battle against the Jade Heaven Sect, she was ambushed and bombarded by the twenty-four Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons.
“The Heaven-purging Divine Light was being refined by me at that time, so she didn’t have it on her.
“Eventually, she suffered severe injuries. Even though she managed to escape, she died shortly after her return…”
The expressions of Dong Li, Xie Qian, Master Blood Spirit, and the others flickered after they heard this.
The Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons, which were mighty enough to fatally injure the former sectmaster of the Profound Purity Palace, an early God domain expert, were now stationed in front of Nie Tian.
Nie Tian, however, was still in a trance. There was no telling whether he had received Mo Qianfan’s soul message.
How could they not worry?
WHOOSH!
A miniature sea of dazzling stars suddenly appeared in the innermost part of the Primal Chaos.
Floating over Nie Tian’s head, the sea of stars had an unusually large magical flower floating in it, with its roots and leaves connected to the numerous stars, giving it a mysterious and dangerous look.
At the same time, a piece of land that was full of life force came to form under Nie Tian’s feet.
An exuberant Heaven Nourished grade Godspirit Tree was rooted in the land, and was channeling pure wood power to nourish it.
In the empty space underneath the sea of stars and above the piece of land, clusters of flames came to wreathe Nie Tian.
The sea of flames was ruled by a cluster of orange-red flame that had developed its own awareness, which seemed to be the ancestor of the infinite types of flame in this starry river, as if it were the first wisp of flame that had been born after the birth of this starry river.
With a sea of stars over his head, a piece of land under his feet, and blazing flames around him, Nie Tian looked like a god.
Yin Xingtian shuddered with astonishment, looking at the incredible illusory scenes surrounding Nie Tian. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “The early form of a domain… I’ve never seen a domain like this, with flame, star, and wood power each forming a magical scene. A Godspirit Tree, a transformed Nine Stars Flower, and a flame spark…”
“Apparently, the changes are only beginning,” Mo Qianfan said, looking flabbergasted.
At this moment, Nie Tian’s eyes that had been closed for who knew how long snapped open.
A mysterious scary light flashed across them.
Upon his awakening, nebulae surged madly in the depths of his eyes as his gaze instantly pierced through the glorious layers, landing on the Jade Heaven Sect’s Heaven-sweeping Jade Sea Cannons, Feng Jieling, and the numerous Saint domain experts that had lined up in the distance. “The Feng Clan from the Domain of Dark Marsh…”
“This one is Nie Tian from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace! I hereby greet the seniors from the Domain of Dark Marsh and the Jade Heaven Sect!” Nie Tian’s thunderous voice rumbled out as if it were going to shatter the heavens.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
He wove his hands seemingly carelessly at the heart of the Primal Chaos.
However, gusts of raging wind and streaks of unknown light seemed to be somehow channeled, as they suddenly shot out of the outer layers of the sphere.
Nie Tian launched an attack after uttering just these words!
After leaving the glowing sphere, several dozen streaks of light scraped the void like falling stars before shooting into three ancient starships.
The starships, which emanated an ice-cold metallic luster, were instantly riddled with holes, as if they were pierced by huge sharp blades.
WHOOSH!
Gusts of violent wind blew past, filled with what looked like golden sand.
In fact, it was ground bits from realms that had perished billions of years ago. Having drifted in the starry river for so long, they had caught mixed auras and become lethally corrosive.
Many Saint domain experts were rattled and hastily backed away, cursing loudly as they did.
Flustered and exasperated, Feng Jieling also swore as she saw the corrosive sand filling her domain. “Little bastard! How dare you act so unruly, making surprise moves while we’re exchanging words?!”
