Eternal Merciless frowned as he gazed into the distance. After a while, he asked, "What kind of power is this? How could it hurt me?"
"Merciless, why do I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity from this power?" A deep voice sounded from behind Eternal Merciless.
The figure was none other than Nie Fenghua!
"Is that so?" The Eternal Heartless turned to look at Nie Fenghua and couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that you know this senior?"
He subconsciously assumed that the person who released this power was a Martial Dao Senior.
"I don't know, I just feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity." Nie Fenghua wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head, "I really don't know who could release such a terrifying power."
Eternal Merciless' eyes darkened as he thought of something. A hint of fear appeared on his face as he exclaimed, "Could it be that someone has become a Martial Sage?"
"That's unlikely." Nie Fenghua shook his head in astonishment.
Eternal Merciless' face was as dark as still water. He did not speak further.
At the same time, Sacred Spirit Academy, Icefire Valley …
Nie Tian opened his eyes. His eyes were as bright as the stars, clear and sharp.
The moment he opened his eyes, Nie Tian's expression flickered, and he exclaimed, "I've made a breakthrough!"
In just three days, he had successfully broken the first Star Scar Dark Seal after fusing with the Heavenly Meteorite. Furthermore, Nie Tian's strength had also broken through to the first-grade half-Sage!
Although the difference between the peak of the Immortal State and the first-grade half-Sage was only a minor level, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Nie Tian's strength had increased by several times just by breaking through to the first-grade half-Sage.
More importantly, he had also unsealed the first Star Scar Dark Seal.
The unsealing of the Star Scar Dark Seal had caused the power of the stars in Nie Tian's body to undergo a qualitative change.
At this moment, the change in the power of the stars alone had increased his strength by several times.
In addition, the Nine Extremes War God Art had broken through to the second stage, the Extreme Wood Jade Heaven Realm, and he had awakened 64 Godfiend Powers. His martial body had also become even more powerful. Therefore, Nie Tian's overall combat strength was dozens of times stronger than before!
Previously, he could fight a Fifth Rank Half-Saint under normal circumstances.
Yet now, he could go against a ninth rank Half-Saint with ease.
After all, he was only a first step Half-Saint.
"Nie Tian, how do you feel?" At that moment, Hua Yiru spoke up. He seemed very excited.
"I feel very good." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "At this moment, I can even easily deal with a seventh or eighth rank Half-Saint."
Nie Tian was rather conservative when it came to improving his combat strength.
"Yes, very good!" Hua Yiru nodded heavily. He was even more excited than Nie Tian.
He had originally predicted that Nie Tian would need half a month to fuse with the Meteorite Stone, but the latter only took three days, which was far beyond his expectations.
"Elder Hua, what's wrong?" Nie Tian smiled faintly and moved to Hua Yiru's side. He couldn't help but frown when he saw the latter's pale face.
"I'm fine." Hua Yiru smiled and did not explain anything.
Little did Nie Tian know that the commotion caused when he unsealed the Star Mark Dark Seal was too big and injured Hua Yiru.
"Boss!" At that moment, Ju Shan and Ju He appeared. When they saw Nie Tian, they exclaimed in surprise, "You've broken through!"
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ju Shan and Ju He chuckled, unable to conceal the shock in their eyes.
When they first broke through to the half-saint realm, it took them Herculean effort and over a hundred years.
Nie Tian, however, seemed to be able to break through into the Half Saint stage effortlessly within a couple of days.
"Nie Tian, I want to see how strong you are." Hua Yiru suddenly smiled and looked at Ju Shan and Ju He.
"Alright." Nie Tian smiled faintly. Of course, he understood Hua Yiru's intention. He said to Ju Shan and Ju He, "Brother Shan and River, let's have a try."
"Alright!" The Shan and River brothers were very excited. They laughed and said, "Boss, you've just broken through. We won't show you any mercy."
With a faint smile, Nie Tian said, "Go ahead and use your full strength." Then, he blurred into action and appeared outside of the Ice Flame Valley.
Hua Yiru looked at Nie Tian with anticipation in his eyes. He wanted to see with his own eyes how strong Nie Tian was now.
The Ju Shan and River brothers were experts of the Outer Court. Their Martial Bodies were strong and their strength was stronger than warriors of the same level.
If Nie Tian's strength was only equivalent to the Seventh or Eighth Stage, it would be very difficult for him to defeat the Ju Shan and River brothers.
"Boss, we're going to attack. Be careful!" Ju Shan and Ju He looked at each other and took a step forward at the same time. Then, they released their Qi and merged in the air. Two huge fists punched out at the same time.
"Boom!" The void suddenly trembled. Then, a huge fist shadow rushed over like a mountain, causing the ground to crack.
"Good timing." Facing the powerful punch of the Ju Shan and River brothers, Nie Tian smiled faintly. There was no fear in his eyes.
"Boom!" In the next moment, he took a step forward and also threw a punch. The golden fist shadow whistled like a dragon and fiercely attacked.
"Huh?" Hua Yiru's face darkened when he saw this.
He didn't expect Nie Tian to be so confident that he chose to fight the Ju Shan and River brothers without using his sword.
However, what happened next made his expression instantly change to one of shock.
"Bang!" In the void, the two fists collided with each other and produced a sound of metal colliding. Then, a huge impact spread out and all the rocks in the surroundings were shattered.
The Ju Shan and River brothers' figures swayed at the same time and they were forced to retreat dozens of meters before they could stabilize their bodies.
On the other hand, Nie Tian didn't move at all. He was as steady as a mountain.
"This …" The eyes of the Ju Shan and River brothers trembled at the same time. They were utterly shocked and could not believe what they were seeing.
Even a ninth-stage Demi-Saint might not be able to take a combined blow from the two of them.
And yet, Nie Tian easily blocked it with a casual punch and even had the upper hand. That was just too ferocious.
"Nie Tian, you …" Hua Yiru was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses. He looked at Nie Tian with trembling eyes, but he didn't know what to say.
It was only then that he realized that Nie Tian had been hiding his strength from him.
Nie Tian could fight a ninth-stage Demi-Saint at the moment.
Hua Yiru even felt that Nie Tian might be able to fight a low-level Demi-Saint if he was at his limit!
Demi-Saint and Demi-Saint might seem to be separated by a whole tier, but it was actually just a small tier.
It would not take long for a martial artist whose talent wasn't too monstrous to rise from a first-stage Demi-Saint to a ninth-stage Demi-Saint.
Still, whatever the case may be, Nie Tian's combat ability was so stunning that Hua Yiru never expected it.
"Boss, we've lost." Ju Shan and Ju He withdrew their auras and said dejectedly.
Nie Tian had just casually attacked without even using his sword, and yet he had already defeated the Ju Shan and River brothers.
If he had used his sword, he could have easily killed the Ju Shan and River brothers.
"Thanks for letting me win." Nie Tian smiled faintly, feeling very satisfied with the improvement of his strength.
"Nie Tian, I can let you return to the nine realms with peace of mind now that you have such strength." Hua Yiru looked at Nie Tian and smiled faintly.
