Fata was the son of Grand Monarch Life Wood.
Nie Tian had borne a bit of hope for him to be able to persuade the Floragrims and Ancientspirits to solve their crisis in the Spirit World by invading the Void World.
Who would have thought that the Demons and the Bonebrutes would capture him after his return and use him against Grand Monarch Primal Wood?
“Yes, why are you so surprised?” Chu Rui asked, looking puzzled. “As a young lord of the Floragrims, he’s by no means insignificant. Not just the Floragrims, but many Ancientspirits also have high opinions of him. Floragrims’ special bloodlines give them the ability to heal severe injuries. Grand Monarch Life Wood, Fata’s father, has unmatched healing ability.
“Fata has not only inherited his father’s abilities, but shown talent that even his father didn’t possess…”
Chu Rui went on and said more about Fata.
From him, Nie Tian learned that Grand Monarch Life Wood, the current high chieftain of the Floragrims, had friendly relationships with many powerful Ancientspirit experts.
Ancientspirits detested Bonebrutes, Phantasms, and Demons. Battles would break out between them in the Spirit World from time to time.
However, they had always been friendly to the Floragrims.
Part of the reason was because Grand Monarch Life Wood had awakened many bloodline talents that could be used to help the titans, Ancientbeasts, dragons, and other enormous beings recover from severe injuries.
For instance, if a titan sustained severe injuries from his trip to a foreign domain, it might take him decades to recover if he relied on his own power.
However, if Grand Monarch Life Wood agreed to help, the recovery phase would be greatly shortened.
As long as they turned to Grand Monarch Life Wood for help and could pay the price he named, he would usually provide them with the help they needed for a speedy recovery. It didn’t matter whether they were titans, dragons, or Ancientbeasts.
Sometimes, even powerful Demon experts would seek Grand Monarch Life Wood’s help after suffering heavy injuries.
Furthermore, Grand Monarch Life Wood had always promoted peace, which had earned him the respect of many powerful experts in the Spirit World.
His son, Fata, had inherited his bloodline perfectly. Many believed that his achievements would rise above those of his father.
“But for us, Fata might be a potential problem,” Chu Rui added. “After he becomes a tenth grade grand monarch, he’ll be able to heal the injured outsiders and Ancientspirits and help them recover their battle prowess as his father can if another war breaks out between them and us. It seems to me that he’ll play an even bigger role in the future than Ophelia and Gutas.”
Chu Rui knew nothing about the recent talk between Nie Tian and Fata.
RUMBLE!
An ancient starship that belonged to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace sailed over.
Dou Tianchen, Zu Guangyao, and Dong Li were all standing on it.
“Nie Tian!” Dong Li, who had arrived from the Seven Stars Realm Sea after a series of teleportations, was pleased to see Nie Tian unscathed.
However, the moment she saw Pei Qiqi, who was right next to him, her face dropped, and she called out fiercely, “What the hell, Pei Qiqi? Shuttling between the Domain of Flame’s End, the Seven Stars Realm Sea, and now the Domain of Heaven Span, what is it that you want?”
Face cold, Pei Qiqi shot her a sideways glance and said nothing.
Seeing the tension between these women, who had recently raised as many eyebrows as Nie Tian had, Chu Rui, Dou Tianchen, and Zu Guangyao exchanged gazes and smiled bitterly.
After Dou Tianchen gave Chu Rui a meaningful look, Chu Rui swiftly flew onto the ancient starship, which then sailed away from this part of the starry river.
After they left, Pei Qiqi thought briefly, and then split open a spatial rift with her Space Boundaries Crystal. She turned to Nie Tian and Dong Li, and asked, “How about I send you to the place that Mo Qianfan, Yu Suying, and the others are currently defending? Nie Tian, because your subordinates are so outstandingly strong, the Heaven Span Pavilion arranged for them to defend a front line by themselves.”
Dong Li nodded. “Sure, I want to go take a look.”
WHOOSH!
In the next moment, Dong Li and Nie Tian appeared in a grayish-yellow realm in the northeast of the Domain of Heaven Span.
“Nie Tian!”
Upon arriving, Nie Tian and Dong Li were met with cheers.
Disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Profound Purity Palace, and the Streamcloud Sword Sect were holding this realm together, along with Xie Qian, Master Blood Spirit, and Qi warriors from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, the Domain of Heaven Python, and the Domain of Vast Darkness. Upon noticing their arrival, they came out from different areas to cast gazes in their direction.
Ancient starships that belonged to different sects could be seen berthed closely outside the realm.
Debris from outsider ancient starships could be seen around them, along with shattered flesh aura sea and domains.
Upon arriving, Nie Tian scanned his surroundings with both his eyes and bloodline power, and obtained an approximate time and scale of the most recent battle.
Mo Qianfan approached him and said with exhaustion written all over his face, “Nie Tian, the Domain of Heaven Span was in a perilous situation when you were cultivating in the depths of the Seven Stars Realm Sea, so we had to come help.”
Numerous Void and even weaker Qi warriors from his three subordinate domains, along with Qi warriors from his allied sects and domains, had been summoned to defend this area of the starry river. A number of battles had broken out between them and the invading Fiends, Bonebrutes, and Phantasms in this area with this realm as the center.
Starships had been destroyed. The sects and clans that had rushed here from different domains had all suffered casualties to different extents.
Yu Suying let out a deep sigh. “Interracial wars are always cruel. All of our sects have suffered significant casualties. Of course, the Fiend, Bonebrute, and Phantasm invaders have paid a tremendous price as well…”
A few others then chimed in to explain the fierceness of the battles they had fought.
As he listened, Nie Tian expanded his saint domain.
WHOOSH!
Enveloped in a shield of dazzling stars was a layer of blazing fire. At the heart was his wood domain, which exuded rich life force and seemed extremely mysterious.
A total of seventy-two tree branches and the Godspirit Tree were rooted on the exuberant land, channeling dissociative wood power from the starry river.
“Grand Monarch Life Wood of the Floragrims can help Ancientspirits quickly recover from their injuries, and I just acquired a secret bloodline magic from that endless blood sea that has similar wonders,” Nie Tian thought to himself. “Perhaps that bloodline magic came from the Tree of Life…”
“Bloodline magic: Life Revival!”
Drop after drop of his Blood Essence was ignited, fusing pure life power into his wood domain.
BOOM!
A misty green aura that was similar to that of the Wood Thriving Formation, but more ancient and powerful, was suddenly released from his wood domain.
As this happened, his both star and flame domains instantly disappeared.
The misty green aura carried the profound truths of life as well as the patterns of the Tree of Life as it gradually spread into Nie Tian’s surroundings.
“Hmm?!”
Master Blood Spirit, who was at the peak of the Saint domain, was the first to notice the anomaly.
Taking a leap forward, he entered the spherical area around Nie Tian that was enveloped in the mysterious aura released by his wood domain. Bathed in rich life force, he took a whiff of the fresh aura with an intoxicated look on his face. In the next moment, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “My blood domain!”
The blurry images of numerous spirit beasts and outsiders manifested in Master Blood Spirit’s blood domain.
His domain now looked like a sea of seething blood. Enveloped in Nie Tian’s wood domain, a wide array of blood power within it seemed to be amplified.
Master Blood Spirit refined his blood domain with all sorts of beast blood and outsider blood through the Blood Refining Incantation, which was widely different from the regular cultivation method most human cultivators adopted. Therefore, it was more difficult for him to make advances in cultivation.
At this moment, however, he was only bathed in the misty green aura released by Nie Tian’s wood domain, yet he was clearly benefiting from it a great deal.
Both Yu Suying and Mo Qianfan, who were at the God domain, also subconsciously approached Nie Tian and entered the wondrous sphere created by Life Revival without activating their dharma idols or god domains.
The two of them, who had gone through prolonged fierce battles, didn’t sense any anomalies at first.
However, a few seconds later, they both shuddered violently with the light of excitement in their eyes.
Without any hesitation, the two of them took out medicinal pills or crystals that contained lightning power and started recovering with them.
“Nie Tian!” Mo Qianfan exclaimed as he absorbed lightning power from a lightning-wreathed crystal. “The speed at which we refine spirit stones and crystals is greatly improved when we’re close to you. Even our souls are calmer than usual, which helps us contemplate the profound truths of the power we practice. This feels wonderful!”
WHOOSH!
As he said these words, numerous lightning bolts interwove in his chest, gradually taking the form of a Thunder-devouring Whale.
The Thunder-devouring Whale made of lightning bolts then helped him refine lightning power more efficiently.
“These are the wonders of Bloodline magic: Life Revival!”
A hint of elation appeared at the raised corners of Nie Tian’s mouth, as he hadn’t expected to immediately put the bloodline magic he had acquired from that endless blood sea to use.
He had learned two bloodline magics from his recent trip to that endless blood sea: Lifeblood Wheel and Life Revival.
Lifeblood Wheel was used to attack enemies, while Life Revival was used to help himself and those around him recover strength at an enhanced speed.
Yu Suying beckoned to the others. “Come in here, everyone.”
Astonished, Qi warriors from different domains that were loyal to Nie Tian flew over and scattered around him, where they took out medicinal pills and spiritual materials of different attributes to recover their strength absorbedly.
