Chapter 1540: Behemoth Crawlers
Rich and immense life power filled every corner of the boundless blood sea.
Innumerable drops of sparkling Blood Essence had come together to form this Life Blood Realm, the origin of Nie Tian’s bloodline.
The wisp of his soul drifted in the blood sea like a balloon floating in the wind.
A mysterious magnetic field was emanating pure life power from the depths of the blood sea, wherein there seemed to lie the ultimate truths of life.
Attracted to it, the wisp of his soul flew directly towards the depths of the blood sea.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Like arrows, numerous beams of the light of life shot from the depths of the blood sea in all directions.
They either carried profound knowledge and truths about life power, secret methods to cast life magics, or pieces of memories that had been lost to history.
Many of them hit Nie Tian’s wisp of soul and rapidly vanished, like lightning bolts flashing across the sky.
However, upon the moment of contact, the knowledge and truths of life they carried were imprinted on his soul and became an eternal part of his memories.
It was just that most of the knowledge they carried was very profound and hard to understand.
Even though his life bloodline had entered the ninth grade and he had awakened a large number of bloodline talents and magics, he still felt as if he was amidst the clouds and mist. (Idiom: puzzled)
“What new bloodline magics will I be able to awaken this time?”
Full of anticipation, he did his utmost to approach the heart of the blood sea, where a magnetic field was emanating the power of the essence of life.
He had a feeling that if his wisp of soul could reach the heart of the blood sea and see the mysterious essence of life, then he would be able to awaken the most powerful life magics and uncover the greatest secrets of life power.
Therefore, he didn’t spend any time contemplating the knowledge that was imprinted on his soul as beams of light flashed across and hit his wisp of soul.
He was well aware that he wouldn’t be able to stay in this endless blood sea for very long.
Therefore, he had to make full use of his time here to approach the heart of the blood sea wherein there lay the essence of life.
On the outside world, his Blood Essence and soul power were being consumed at an alarming rate as he explored his Blood Realm. Sensing this, he grew more and more anxious.
Even though he could tell that he was already close to the heart of the blood sea, and he could sense the existence of the active magnetic field of life ahead of him, he just seemed to be unable to reach it.
...
In the Domain of Endless Snow.
Dong Li, God domain experts from different sects, Grand Monarch Primal Wood, and the three Ancientspirit grand monarchs were gathered in the Realm of Crystal Snow to discuss how they would fight against the outsiders from the Void World.
The Ripper Behemoth didn’t take part in the meeting.
The floating continent flew between different areas of the Domain of Endless Snow as it ferreted out the outsiders that were hiding in different realms and seeking retaliation like digging out earthworms.
A number of ninth grade Demon and Phantasm grand patriarchs were dragged into the floating continent and became its delicious meals.
After a while, the entirety of the vast Domain of Endless Snow was purged of outsiders.
WHOOSH!
A pale-gray aura gradually spread from the floating continent towards every corner of the Domain of Endless Snow.
Like a shield, it slowly sealed the entire Domain of Endless Snow.
It was the Ripper Behemoth’s way of protecting it.
This way, even if those from the Void World who were well-versed in spatial power attempted to enter the Domain of Endless Snow, they would have to break its flesh aura seal first.
Meanwhile, Ji Yuanquan, Zhao Shanling, and the other human experts could still enter and exit the Domain of Endless Snow freely.
After doing this, the floating continent flew to the Realm of Falling Snow, where Nie Tian was focused on his cultivation.
“He’s entered the origin of his bloodline...”
The Ripper Behemoth could cover the entire Domain of Endless Snow with its flesh aura and soul awareness. It was only natural that he could infiltrate the Realm of Falling Snow with its soul awareness and see that Nie Tian was sitting quietly, enveloped in a special blood membrane.
Thanks to its flesh aura and soul awareness, the Ripper Behemoth suddenly sensed an anomaly. “What’s that?”
Millions of strange insects appeared to be screeching in a place along the border of the Domain of Endless Snow.
It was a sea of brown insects that were as tiny as flies, which made them almost nonexistent compared to its size.
However, when millions of them came together, the aura they exuded gave it a sense of danger.
It was a feeling that they could cause it actual damage.
Grand monarchs from the Void World suddenly emerged from the sea of innumerable insects. Among them were Agatha of the Devils, Grand Monarch Bone Posterity of the Bonedrudes, and a sub-soul of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits, who was the Netherspirit high chieftain. “As we expected, it’s the Star Behemoth’s flesh aura that’s sealing the Domain of Endless Snow!”
Swarming around Grand Monarch Bone Posterity’s enormous bone body, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ sub-soul, and Agatha, the insects seemed to be working for these grand monarchs.
Behind the sea of insects stood Grand Monarch Bloodlust, Grand Monarch Nether Channeler, and Grand Monarch Gray Bones.
Within such a short time, the outsider grand monarchs from the Spirit World had met and reached a mutual understanding with the grand monarchs from the Void World, and made the Domain of Endless Snow their first target.
In other words, they had decided to get rid of the Ripper Behemoth, which had frustrated them repeatedly, first!
Rising over the sea of insects, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ soul shadow said to Grand Monarch Bloodlust and Grand Monarch Nether Channeler of the Spirit World, “We’ve been looking for ways to deal with the Star Behemoths since the first defeat we suffered from those grim, colossal creatures. Only after searching for countless years did we finally find a way to defeat them, which is through these Behemoth Crawlers.
“Behemoth Crawlers carry the bloodlines of nineteen different kinds of rare insects, including Bone-devouring Leeches, Metal-devouring Bugs, and Heaven Beetles. Some of them only live in the Void World, while others can only be found in the Spirit World and the Mortal World.
“The most important of them is a special kind of parasitic insect that lives in the bodies of Star Behemoths!
“Like a toxin, they can damage and gnaw at a Star Behemoth’s body from within, weakening them and undermining their flesh auras.
“We found them and mixed them with the other rare insects from the three worlds to make them even stronger and deadlier to Star Behemoths.
“Also, we’ve been rearing them in a restricted area in the Void World and feeding them the flesh and blood of Star Behemoths, so they would become fascinated with the Star Behemoths’ flesh power. After a long time, they finally evolved into a new species of insect that can infiltrate a Star Behemoth’s flesh aura and drill into their bodies: Behemoth Crawlers.
“If a large number of Behemoth Crawlers enter a Star Behemoth’s body, they’ll be able to feed on its flesh and blood and give birth to even more Behemoth Crawlers within a short time, and eventually kill the Star Behemoth.”
Strong killing intent brimmed the eyes of Grand Monarch Bloodlust, Grand Monarch Nether Channeler, and Grand Monarch Gray Bones, all of whom had lost many clansmen because of the Ripper Behemoth, as soon as they heard this.
“If we can get rid of that Ripper Behemoth, there’ll be no one strong enough to defend the Mortal World,” Grand Monarch Gray Bones said.
Grand Monarch Bloodlust was also deeply impressed by the power of their allies from the Void World.
Now, they had joined up with more than a dozen Devil, Netherspirit, and Bonedrude grand monarchs. Even though as their leaders, Agatha was only at the early tenth grade and Grand Monarch Bone Posterity was only at the middle tenth grade, they were large in numbers.
Furthermore, late tenth grade grand monarchs were on their way to the Mortal World as well.
This made them feel that sweeping across the Mortal World would be as easy as turning their hands.
“Go!”
As soon as Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits waved his hand, the sea of Behemoth Crawlers swarmed towards the Domain of Endless Snow like a great flood.
SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
Sensing the Ripper Behemoth’s flesh aura, the Behemoth Crawlers let out thrilled squeaks, and quickly reached the flesh aura shield created by the Ripper Behemoth.
As they gnawed madly at the shield of immense flesh aura, their most evil and uncanny bloodline that was designed for Star Behemoths burst forth.
Moments later, they gnawed a large hole in the Ripper Behemoth’s flesh aura shield, like acid eating through rubber.
After devouring that flesh power, the tiny Behemoth Crawlers wobbled, as if they were drunk. While flying, they laid eggs, which hatched and became new Behemoth Crawlers within a shockingly short time.
Soon, the number of Behemoth Crawlers increased by twenty percent.
Instead of swarming towards the heart of the Domain of Endless Snow, the newborn Behemoth Crawlers and the old ones spread along and gnawed at the Ripper Behemoth’s flesh aura shield to give birth to even more Behemoth Crawlers.
“It’s actually working!” Grand Monarch Bloodlust exclaimed with a nasty laugh.
The other outsiders from the Spirit World joined him in letting out nasty and wild laughs.
They had spent far too long being suppressed by and in fear of the Ripper Behemoth.
The Ripper Behemoth had played crucial roles in both of their defeats in the Domain of Heaven Span and the Domain of Endless Snow.
The way they saw it, if they had found a way to deal with the Ripper Behemoth, the humans would have long since fallen, and become slaves to them.
“No wonder the origin of our bloodlines lies with them. Upon entering the Mortal World, they brought out the mighty Void Energy Converting Wheel, and released the Behemoth Crawlers to solve our problem from the root.”
