Outside the magnificent pce.


    Yue Yanxi, Jiang Feng, and Jiang Tong were sitting with their eyes closed. Three small vortexes were floating over the top of each of their heads.


    Even though the vortexes were small, they were channeling and changing the movement of the rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth on this continent in a profound way.


    Yue Yanxi’s eyes suddenly snapped open. Two clusters of mes seemed to be burning in the depths of his eyes.


    A loud rumble that sounded like a volcanic eruption echoed out from within him. At the same time, in the very distant fire-attributed region, clusters of mes seemed to be somehow attracted by him, and started to gather towards him.


    The sky seemed to be painted red by the sea of mes that was surging towards his location.


    SHEW!


    A man covered in blood suddenly appeared out of thin air before them.


    Jian Tong instantly sprang to his feet and asked with a worried expression, “How are you doing, Big Brother Guan?!”


    The man had fine cuts all over him. Some were so deep that bones could be seen, as if he been cut by many sharp des. Blood spilled from the cuts continuously.


    Even now, numerous small, snake-like de lights were still slithering within his split wounds, inflicting damage to his body.


    The burly tall man was Guan Fu, the middle Void domain reinforcement Guan Qi had summoned from their n.


    A grayish-yellow maic field seemed to be greatlypressed, and only enveloped a three meter range around him now.


    That was his personal domain.


    Within the grayish-yellow domain, fierce sword intent was still shing across with enough might to tear the heavens to bits.


    FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!


    At the same time, Guan Fu’s own power constantly shed with the sword intent, giving rise to small explosions and bright lights.


    With every explosion, Guan Fu would let out a muffled groan, and his wounds would further split.


    “They are here.” Guan Fu bellowed weakly, looking behind him with bloodshot eyes.


    Several figures appeared in the distant sky. Each and every one of them looked elegant and carefree as they soared over on their swords.


    Xing Beichen was among them.


    With his usual harmless smile, Xing Beichen was flying behind the five Void domain experts, who were all dressed the same. Instead of a pursuing killer, he looked more like a young schr who was out on a sightseeing tour. Not the slightest killing intent could be sensed from him.


    The five Void domain experts all had indifferent looks in their eyes, and couldn’t be any calmer.


    They were wearing garments with sleeves that were not only wide, but also long. On each of their chests was embroidered a mountain that had countless swords plunged into it.


    From the look of it, that must be their sect’s sigil.


    Guan Pu gave a pained groan and said to Yue Yanxi, Jiang Feng, and Jian Tong, “They’re from the Domain of Heaven Python, and the Thousandsword Mountain Sect is the name of their sect. ording to them, the Trisword Sect in our domain was founded by someone from their sect. Xing Beichen was originally a chosen one of the Thousandsword Mountain Sect. However, he offended some important figure in the Domain of Heaven Python, and thus had toe to the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries to lie low until the wind blew over. (Idiom: stay away from trouble)


    “Now, his seniors have already solved the problem for him, and he can return to the Domain of Heaven Python at any time now.”


    Guan Fu had engaged in battle against the five Thousandsword Mountain Sect experts, during which he had obtained this information.


    Confused expressions appeared on Yue Yanxi and Jiang Feng’s faces as they muttered, “The Domain of Heaven Python... The Thousandsword Mountain Sect...”


    Obviously, they hadn’t heard of such a domain.


    “Their domain is very far from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, so we never got in touch with them before,” Guan Fu exined. Then, his face grew very grim as he added, “Their peak experts are at the Saint domain.”


    Upon hearing these words, Yue Yanxi and the other experts finally gasped. “The Saint domain?!”


    Their expressions grew unprecedentedly somber as they looked at the iing experts from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect.


    After arriving in front of the pce, Xing Beichen still stood behind the five Void domain experts. Eyes fixed on the grand pce, he eximed weakly, “It’s a pce built by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce!


    “Who would have thought there would be a pce of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce on this continent wreathed in rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth! So does it mean Nie Tian...”


    The five Thousandsword Mountain Sect experts’ expressions grew serious as they examined the pce carefully with their eyes.


    However, they didn’t pay much attention to Guan Pu, who they had seriously wounded, and the other experts from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.


    After a moment of hesitation, Xing Beichen said with a reluctant expression, “Martial Uncle Ke, that kid named Nie Tian seems to be from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce. I heard that he came here shortly before us. But since he’s not here now, it’s very likely that he has already entered this pce.”


    Ke Jinpeng frowned, not uttering a word.


    On their way here, he had learned from Xing Beichen that there was a young man named Nie Tian, who was supposed to be a member of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce, and he had obtained arge amount of soul crystals and Metal-devouring Bugs.


    He had assumed that if Nie Tian was an ordinary member of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce who hade here on a tour, so even if they killed him, they probably wouldn’t draw ire on themselves.


    However, this pce before him was clearly the work of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce.


    This pce had been here for who knew how many years, and now a sessor of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce suddenly came to find this ce...


    Ke Jinpeng couldn’t figure out what was going on, and thus found the matter somewhat intractable.


    Just now, as soon as he had entered the atmosphere and sensed the surprisingly rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this ce, he had decided to take this continent for their sect and add it to their sect’s arcane realms.


    However, now that he realized what that pce stood for, he suddenly grew hesitant.


    The existence of the pce proved that this ce already had a owner, which was the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce!


    How would he not ponder the matter carefully if he wanted to seize this unique heaven and earth from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce’s hands?


    After a moment of silence, Xing Beichen said, “Martial uncle, that Nie Tian is only at the Worldly realm, and he didn’t have others from his sect with him. Perhaps the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce has long since abandoned this ce, or the powerful expert who had created this ce died a long time ago.


    “And Nie Tian wasn’t sent here by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce, but he just happened to find this ce by ident.


    “If that’s the case, we may actually take this unwanted ce, and it’ll be alright.”


    The other four Void domain experts from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect nodded after hearing these words, greed shing across their eyes.


    Even in their domain, they couldn’t find a ce with such rich spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, not to mention that this continent was divided into six regions, and each region had their unique wonders, along with arge number of rare nts and precious materials.


    If they managed to take this ce for the Thousandsword Mountain Sect, every one of them would be heavily rewarded for it.


    With these thoughts, a middle Void domain expert named Sha Yan turned to look at Yue Yanxi, who was standing the closest to the pce gate. With a faint smile, he said, “Fellow cultivators, is that Nie Tian person in there?”


    Yue Yanxi smiled coldly. “That’s right. He is in the pce. But we can’t tell who’s in there with him. Perhaps powerful experts from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce are still practicing secluded cultivation in there.”


    The Thousandsword Mountain Sect experts’ expressions flickered noticeably.


    In the next moment, five strands of immense soul awareness morphed into enormous swords and pierced towards the magnificent pce.


    They were hoping to pry into the pce and learn the situation inside.


    If Nie Tian was the only one in there, they would seriously consider killing him and taking this ce.


    However, if, like Yue Yanxi had just said, powerful experts from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce were practicing cultivation inside, then they would have Xing Beichen apologize to Nie Tian. If Nie Tian wouldn’t let it go no matter what, they would even give Xing Beichen up to gain the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce’s forgiveness.


    FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!


    Starlight sparks suddenly floated out of the pce walls like numerous dazzling stars.


    They interwove into a mysterious star formation, warding off the Void domain experts’ soul awareness.


    The giant swords that the five experts had formed with their soul awareness could easily prate metal and shatter stone, yet they couldn’t infiltrate the pce in the least.


    Secondster, the five experts had to withdraw their soul awareness, their expressions grimmer and more hesitant.


    CREEN!


    At this moment, the closed stone gate was suddenly pushed open from the inside.


    Nie Tian slowly walked halfway through it. With half of his body out of the pce and the other half inside the pce, he leaned against the stone gate and said to Xing Beichen with a disdainful tone, as if he knew that he had strong backing, “What? You want to kill me? Do you want my soul crystals, Metal-devouring Bugs, or this continent?”


    The moment the stone gate was pushed open, Sha Yan and the others took the opportunity to send their soul awareness inside.


    Their soul awareness that was as thin as hair rapidly flew through the open gate and circled around within the pce.


    Eyes narrowing, Ke Jinpeng said with a respectful tone, “There are quite a few people in the pce, but there don’t seem to be any seniors from your sect among them.”


    An icy smile appeared at the corner of Sha Yan’s mouth as he nodded at Xing Beichen and said, “Your spection seems to be correct.”


    Xing Beichenughed. “You shouldn’t havee out, Nie Tian. If you didn’t, we wouldn’t have been able to learn the actual situation inside the pce. It was very foolish of you toe out and allow us to learn that there aren’t any powerful experts from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Pce inside.


    “Now I can tell you what we want.


    “Your soul crystals, Metal-devouring Bugs, and this continent. We want them all.”


    Nie Tianughed wildly. “Come and get them then!”
