In the Realm of Heaven Span.

Because of the Ripper Behemoth’s Domain Split bloodline talent, the Godspan Sword Formation that the sectmasters of the Heaven Span Pavilion had engraved sword incantations on and constructed with painstaking efforts was destroyed in a twinkling.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The energy in the Realm of Heaven Span turned into pillars of white spirit fog that shot skywards.

All the pillars disappeared into the floating continent.

The great Heaven Span Pavilion shook, and was torn apart.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Under the power of the Ripper Behemoth, the lands detached themselves from the Realm of Heaven Span one by one, like pieces of fine iron cut off by a sharp blade.

However, when the sound reached Chu Rui’s and Fan Tianze’s ears, it sounded like the Ripper Behemoth was munching on the Realm of Heaven Span and swallowing pieces of it.

All the Qi warriors of the Heaven Span Pavilion and the experts from other domains who had rushed here had long been evacuated.

Staring at the broken Heaven Span Pavilion and the Ripper Behemoth hidden in the floating continent from afar, many Saint domain experts from other domains sighed with mixed emotions in the sparkling starry river.

“I can’t believe the foundation of the Heaven Span Pavilion, one of the most ancient sects of the human race, was so easily destroyed by a Ripper Behemoth!”

“Such damage is simply unheard-of!”

“As many invasions as the Ancientspirits, Demons, Phantasms, and Bonebrutes have launched, they were never able to damage the foundation of a great sect! But that Ripper Behemoth did it easily.”

“The Realm of Heaven Span being destroyed has a strong influence on us too!”

“What should we do now? Can anyone stop that Ripper Behemoth?”

You Qimiao of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect had disappeared immediately after bringing the Ripper Behemoth here and seeing it start to attack.

With the Godspan Sword Formation destroyed, Fan Tianze couldn’t use the power of the divine formation to stop You Qimiao anymore. Thus, You Qimiao, who was at the late God domain, was officially the strongest person in the current human world.

No matter where You Qimiao wanted to go or what he wanted to do, it would be very hard to stop him.

“You Qimiao!” At the mention of that name, all human experts present had a heavy heart.

Chu Rui sighed and said with a consoling tone, “Brother Fan, don’t be too sad. Though you couldn’t stop the Realm of Heaven Span from being destroyed, thankfully, the disciples of your sect have been evacuated in time. Only the realm is damaged.”

Fan Tianze still found it hard to accept this. “Our sect has spent so much effort on this realm. It all went up in smoke because of You Qimiao and the Ripper Behemoth. I’m going to try to break through to the late God domain!”

Chu Rui was shocked. “Brother Fan, you...”

“I don’t know when the sectmaster will return,” Fan Tianze said with a determined look in his eyes. “Now, the human race is beset by enemies from within and without. There are Ancientspirits and various outsiders invading us from the outside, and there are traitors like You Qimiao and Xuan Guangyu corroding us from the inside. In this situation, we must have someone who is able to suppress You Qimiao and deter the Ancientspirits and outsiders!”

“But...” Chu Rui said, frowning. “Nie Tian hasn’t shown up for a long time. I wanted to ask him for some Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir for you, but I haven’t been able to see him. As for Dong Li, she won’t necessarily give me any face.”

Fan Tianze’s eyes lit up. “Weren’t there people who could break through to the late God domain without the Soul-cleansing Origin Elixir? Did Ji Cang and Qu Yi rely on it to break through to the late God domain?”

Chu Rui froze for a moment, and then couldn’t help nodding. “So you’ve made up your mind.”

“I don’t know what will happen. Please look after my sect for me,” Fan Tianze said solemnly. “Later, I’ll ask Ye Wenhan to avoid the Ripper Behemoth, retain the sect’s strength as much as possible, and prevent it from suffering more serious damage.”

Chu Rui made a promise. “I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you very much.”

...

In the unusual area of the starry river.

After Nie Tian had activated Profound Truths Crystallization, the soul symbols and soul strings from the Nether River branch extending from the whirlpool converged on the ball of light.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood and the three Ancientspirit grand monarchs continued to transfuse their wood power and flesh aura into Nie Tian.

As the soul symbols and soul strings disappeared into the crystal forming with Profound Truths Crystallization, the number of spirit-form beings that continuously swarmed into the mysterious Nether River gradually decreased.

“I’ve used up ten percent of my flesh aura!” Chatvic said, looking shocked. “This human hybrid is only using his bloodline talent to condense a crystallization, but he can actually consume so much flesh aura!”

“I told you he’s different,” Grand Monarch Primal Wood said in a deep voice.

No creature who had a ninth-grade bloodline could bear the flesh aura that the four grand monarchs had joined hands to channel into Nie Tian.

Even if Felix, Agaz’s elder brother of the Dragons, had taken in such power from the four of them, his dragon body would have exploded, and Felix’s bloodline had reached the apex of the ninth grade!

FIZZ! FIZZ!

The glittering ball of light slowly condensed into a crystal.

A peculiar cyan light emanated from within the crystal.

“Eeeh?!” Pei Qiqi, who had been watching the movements of the whirlpool exclaimed, attracting the attention of the four grand monarchs.

They all turned to look at her.

Pei Qiqi pointed her beautiful finger in the direction of the whirlpool. “There’s no more water flowing out of the center of the large whirlpool, or spirit-form beings swarming into it. Since there won’t be any more water flowing into the Nether River, it shouldn’t extend towards the roots of the first generation Tree of Life anymore.”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood was instantly relieved. “Great!”

His biggest problem had been solved at long last.

He and the other three grand monarchs didn’t know that it was because all the soul symbols and soul strings in this Nether River branch had merged into the Profound Truths Crystal that there was no longer water flowing into the Nether River, or spirit-form beings swarming in it.

Reflected in Nie Tian’s pupils, the cyan light from the crystallization looked very dazzling.

It seemed that each beam of light contained soul symbols and soul strings, as if it represented the most mysterious soul magics that Grand Monarch Heaven Spirit had left behind!

Seeing the Profound Truths Crystallization slowly form, Nie Tian fixed his eyes on the crystal, with a weird expression. “I wonder why this Profound Truths Crystal seems so similar to the Spirit Pearl.

“The Spirit Pearls were spheres that Grand Monarch Nether Soul of the Phantasms used to collect the five evil gods’ fragmentary souls and memories in the Mortal World and the Spirit World. And there were three of them until I fused them into one.

“After the fusion, the Spirit Pearl gave birth to the five evil gods. Because of my Blood Essence, they came back to life.

“This Profound Truths Crystal was condensed from a Nether River branch in the Silent Star Sea with the help of four grand monarchs. The many soul symbols and soul strings in this crystal were all left behind by Grand Monarch Heaven Spirit. Will a soul of Grand Monarch Heaven Spirit with its own awareness be born after they fuse together, like the evil gods?

“If so, is what I’m doing going to achieve the opposite result?”

Various thoughts flashed through his mind and confused him.
