Chapter 1122: Victory

Grand Monarch Primal Demon’s words and Grand Monarch Blood Axe’s arrival announced the end of the duel.

In the dead realm, Ophelia, who was caught in the blood-colored net, had an extremely indignant and reluctant look on her face upon hearing Grand Monarch Primal Demon’s thunderous words.

However, since she couldn’t wield the Doom Blade anymore and had consumed too much of her Blood Essence, she couldn’t possibly resist the Star Behemoth’s bloodline talent: Predation.

WHOOSH!

As she wallowed in frustration, Nie Tian cut off his flesh aura that he was infusing the bone with, and deactivated Life Blend.

The huge blood-colored net instantly fell apart, the mysterious blood-colored patterns flying back into the bone.

Nie Tian lifted his hand, and the bone that was sixty meters long vanished into his ring of holding.

He fixed Ophelia with a deep look before summoning the Star Boat and heading outside the dead realm.

Grand Monarch Primal Demon’s words and Grand Monarch Blood Axe’s arrival made Nie Tian realize that the Demon leaders had admitted defeat because they didn’t want things to get out of hand.

He had a feeling that Ophelia had an ultimate means that she hadn’t used yet.

However, the price she would have to pay to use it might be more than she could take. Perhaps it would cause her premature death.

Grand Monarch Primal Demon thought very highly of Ophelia. He believed that she was bound to become a grand monarch one day.

Her talent was one of a kind throughout the entire Demon race.

Of course he didn’t want her to die in this duel.

Ophelia slumped on the ground, with the Doom Blade floating in front of her. “I, I can’t believe I lost...”

Due to the leaving of Nie Tian’s flame spark, the Doom Spirit within the blade grew active again.

However, for the first time, Ophelia’s eyes were filled with disgust as she stared at the blade.

“No! This is not over!”

As she gritted her teeth, more and more distorted veins appeared on her semi-transparent skin, as if it could split open at any moment.

An extremely dangerous aura burst forth from within her.

Nie Tian, who was heading out of the dead realm, suddenly jerked his head back towards her, his eyes widened.

WHOOSH!

That was when Grand Monarch Blood Axe landed by Ophelia’s side. Placing his large hand on her shoulder and shook gently. “It’s over.”

“No, it’s not!!” Ophelia bellowed.

Grand Monarch Blood Axe sighed. “I know how it feels. I wouldn’t want to accept such a defeat either. You might have felt better if that kid were at the Void domain, or his bloodline had entered the eighth grade...”

“But still...!” Ophelia attempted to ignite her last remaining Blood Essence to launch her ultimate strike.

“Stop.” Wisps of Grand Monarch Blood Axe’s flesh aura suddenly flew into Ophelia to suppress and confine her surging Blood Essence to her heart. “By launching this last strike, you might be able to change the result, but it’ll kill you too. Compared to that Heavenly Stellar Stream and this insignificant victory, you are far more important.

“Our chief only ended this duel for you because he didn’t want you to hurt yourself!”

While speaking, he suppressed Ophelia’s surging flesh aura with his unstoppable, immense flesh aura, allowing her to gradually calm down.

SHEW!

The Star Boat flew out of the dead realm to the area where powerful human experts from the four great sects were gathered.

Disbelief and shock were written across everyone’s faces.

At the place where members of the Five Elements Sect were gathered, Huang Jinnan let out a cunning laugh and said in a low voice, “Now that Nie Tian has won this duel, his status in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is probably going to rise above Sikong Cuo’s. Early Soul realm against eighth grade... and he somehow won. No matter how he managed that, Grand Monarch Primal Demon ended the duel, admitting his victory.”

Hou Chulan nodded slightly. “It seems that he’s gained an upper hand in the competition for the future Lord of the Stars.”

“Good job, Nie Tian!”

Chu Rui, Yan Zhan, and Wei Lai took the initiative to approach and greet Nie Tian.

Fang Yuan, Dou Tianchen, and many others also approached him with congratulatory remarks.

Even Sikong Cuo smiled at him.

Mo Heng, however, was still in secluded cultivation, as if he hadn’t kept an eye on this duel between Nie Tian and Ophelia.

It seemed that he had focused all of his attention on preparing for his duel against Grand Monarch Primal Demon.

The dragons slowly flew over and congratulated Nie Tian in a resounding voice. “Congratulations!”

Even the enormous, mountain-like titan slowly flew closer.

Fixing his eyes that were as bright as suns on Nie Tian, he said in a very deep voice, “Human boy, there’s something I’d like to talk about in private.”

At the moment, the most powerful experts from the four great sects had already voluntarily gathered to Nie Tian’s side.

They could tell that Nie Tian was now depleted after his hard-fought duel against Ophelia.

At this moment, any outsider grand monarch would be able to snuff out his soul with nothing but a wisp of their soul power.

Therefore, the human experts took it upon themselves to stand guard for him.

The titan noticed their vigilance, and thus stopped approaching. He only fixed his shining eyes on Nie Tian, waiting for an answer.

Nie Tian took a deep breath and asked, “You want to talk? Could you give me some time to recover first?”

The titan pondered for a few seconds before nodding and saying, “Sure. I traveled through this boundless starry river to witness the duel between Grand Elder Mo Heng and Grand Monarch Primal Demon. I’ll be around till their battle ends. Find me when you’ve recovered.”

With these words, he took his time to fly away from the area where the humans were gathered.

At this moment, clusters of dazzling starlight emerged from the raging Demon qi in the Demons’ floating stronghold.

“That’s the Heavenly Stellar Stream!”

To honor Grand Monarch Primal Demon’s promise, the Demons deactivated the sealing magic on the Heavenly Stellar Stream and set it free.

Greatly spirited, Chu Rui laughed broadly. “Nie Tian, that treasure is yours now!”

Nie Tian’s eyes grew wide as he watched the Heavenly Stellar Stream gradually fly in his direction. “I guess it won’t be right if I refuse such a treasure.”

He even activated the Fragmentary Star Incantation to sense it.

The other Sons of the Stars also secretly sensed the unique treasure, their breaths growing heavier as they did. “The Heavenly Stellar Stream!”

However, the Heavenly Stellar Stream that was originally flying towards Nie Tian suddenly changed directions, and flew towards Sikong Cuo instead.

Nie Tian’s face dropped.

Even Sikong Cuo was confused. Gazing blankly at the incoming Heavenly Stellar Stream, he muttered, “What the...?”

Chu Rui and the other elders of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace were also confused by what was happening.

The Demons had only unsealed the Heavenly Stellar Stream and sent it in the humans’ direction with little force.

They didn’t understand why it suddenly changed directions and flew towards Sikong Cuo either.

“Sixth Martial Brother!” Dou Tianchen shouted with a stern face. “Nie Tian risked his life to win that thing. You’re not trying to take it for your own, are you?!”
