Chapter 1504: The River Of Time Reappears!
Faint soul voices rippled from the ice sculptures, as if ghosts were sobbing.
“Nie Tian! Help us!”
“Please!”
The Saint domain experts who had been turned into ice sculptures couldn’t speak or budge, but they could make Nie Tian hear their soul screams.
However, Nie Tian didn’t even spare them a look.
He looked only at the two women with whom he had connections. One of them was from the Beast-controlling Sect, while the other one was from the Bliss Mountain Sect.
Frigid crystalline ice coated the two female bodies. One was vigorous and curvy, while the other looked tall and delicate.
However, Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong didn’t beg him to save them with their soul voices.
Streaks of grayish brown light appeared in their fair necks, foreheads, and the depths of their bright eyes from time to time.
That was Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s death aura.
Even if he didn’t kill them right away, their vitality would be slowly exhausted, and they would die after their bodies were eroded by his flesh aura over a long period of time.
Through Nie Tian’s eyes, Grand Monarch Ice Bones immediately figured out who he really cared about. “Mmm.”
CRACK!
With a simple flick of Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s finger, the ice coating a middle Saint domain Qi warrior, who cultivated cold power and was releasing intense soul fluctuations, suddenly broke.
With it broke his fleshly body and domain.
“Too much nonsense,” Grand Monarch Ice Bones muttered.
Those Qi warriors who had tried their best to release soul fluctuations in a bid to draw Nie Tian’s attention instantly quieted down, and no soul awarenesses appeared anymore.
Grand Monarch Ice Bones raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.
Two frigid air currents caught Yin Yanan’s and Mu Biqiong’s ice sculptures and brought them over to him.
Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong, who had become two balls of ice, fell into the large boney palms of Grand Monarch Ice Bones, who was in his Bonebrute Impregnable Form.
The ice wrapping the two women in his icy cold palms looked like two snowballs placed in two vast, cold snowfields.
His death aura slid into the ice balls like serpents.
Even though Mu Biqiong and Yin Yanan were frozen, the looks in their eyes showed that they were suffering piercing pain.
Thanks to his cultivation base, long lifespan, and insight, Grand Monarch Ice Bones could see at a single glance that Mu Biqiong and Yin Yanan were gifted. “Nie Tian, these two girls are very unusual. Both of them are blessed with great talent. They have greater power in them than most of their clansmen at the same grade.
“And I’d say that their faces are beautiful, too.”
BAM!
The veil covering Mu Biqiong’s face suddenly exploded into countless ice flakes.
Her aloof beautiful face that was covered by the veil at all times was instantly seen by Nie Tian. She looked like a quiet, beautiful picture.
“Wouldn’t it be a pity if they died?” Grand Monarch Ice Bones asked.
Nie Tian was in a dilemma.
“If you refuse, they will only be the first to die,” Grand Monarch Ice Bones said as an icy and merciless light flashed in his eyes. “After I was defeated by Grand Monarch Crystal Bones, I broke away from the Bonebrutes. I have no descendants or anyone else that I care about. I have already found out that the clansmen of the Nie Clan and your relatives are in a broken realm in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven. I can kill them all if I want to.
“Other than You Qimiao, none of the humans in the Mortal World can really stop me from killing!
“As long as I want, I can plunge the people in the Domain of the Falling Stars, Domain of Heaven Python, and Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries into misery and suffering! Nie Tian, you’d better decide which one is more important, your relatives and subordinates, or the opening of the portal!
“I want to go to the Void World because I want to make my breakthrough to the late tenth grade there!”
“If you let me in, you won’t suffer a great loss! What’s more, I’ll also give the Frigid Depths to you so that you can use it to help the God domain experts of the Profound Purity Palace gain power of a higher level!”
Grand Monarch Ice Bones took his time, using both coercion and cajolery, to bend Nie Tian to his will.
Nie Tian was furious, but couldn’t find a way out even though he racked his brains.
Grand Monarch Ice Bones, who was alone and only a step away from becoming a late tenth grade grand monarch, threatened him with the lives of his relatives and subordinates, targeting his weakness. He couldn’t find a solution right away.
“Once the portal is opened, the three outsider races in the Void World will likely take the opportunity to enter the Mortal World. It’s likely that Grand Monarch Ice Bones has been instigated by the Bonedrudes, and that’s why he’s deliberately asking me to do this!” Nie Tian thought to himself.
His expression kept changing while his eyes constantly flickered. He couldn’t make up his mind.
Just then, Grand Monarch Ice Bones suddenly snapped, “Who’s there?!”
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
All the fingers of his huge bone palms stiffened.
The thick ice coating Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong, who had been imprisoned by his cold bloodline power, suddenly exploded. In a twinkling, the two women were released, and flew away like two streaks of light.
Grand Monarch Ice Bones, whose bone body was cold and crystalline, looked around with eyes that were like balls of ice.
FIZZ!
All of a sudden, he found that he was having difficulty turning his neck.
Unusual quicksand that contained time’s true meaning sprinkled from the depths of the starry river to his enormous body.
Every grain of sand that fell on his glittering golden body felt like an ancient realm that crashed into him, making it hard for him to breathe.
His huge body sank bit by bit towards the starry river below.
“Time! The power of time!” he exclaimed with fear in his eyes. He sensed the aura of time in every grain of sand and perceived in horror that the time in the small area where he was standing was flying… backwards!
The flesh power that he had painstakingly accumulated for thousands of years with the Frigid Depths’ help was leaving him at an alarming rate.
It seemed that as time flew backward, he would soon relive the unforgettable moment of humiliation when he had been defeated by Grand Monarch Crystal Bones.
He growled in despair.
He ruled over the Palace of Extreme Cold, so he knew about most of the major events in the Mortal World.
Gupi, which Jiang Yuanchi had originally sealed, had rampaged in all the human domains with an invincible air. However, it had been taken away by the river of time in the end, and its current whereabouts were a mystery.
He had known how strong Gupi was while he had still been with the Bonebrutes, before he had left the Spirit World for the Mortal World.
Even Gupi couldn’t resist the power of the river of time. How could he possibly do so?
At that moment, he suddenly thought of one thing — in the current era, the only person who could drive the river of time happened to be Nie Tian’s teacher.
“I should have thought of that man!” he cried with regret.
Then a gorgeous river carrying the power of time that had extended from parts unknown suddenly appeared, and poured down onto Grand Monarch Ice Bones’s head, and then his giant bone body.
He opened his mouth, trying to scream, but he could not make a sound.
The river of time finally enshrouded him.
ZZZZZLA!
Grand Monarch Ice Bones, who was nearly ten thousand meters tall and looked like an iceberg, was dragged into the river of time like a marionette.
As soon as he fell into the river of time, the giant Grand Monarch Ice Bones seemed to become a grain of rice, shrinking by hundreds of millions of times.
He sank to the bottom of the long river of time like a grain of sand, before the river soared up into the void.
“Master!” Seeing that the river of time was about to leave under his eyes as it had taken Gupi away the last time, Nie Tian shouted into the void, hoping that his voice could penetrate the river of time and be heard by Wu Ji.
To his surprise, he got a response this time!
