"Nine-lives Ghost Cat!" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed and his expression changed when he heard the Ghost Emperor's voice.
"It really is the Nine-lives Ghost Cat. Why would such an extinct creature appear here?" The Ghost Emperor's voice sounded out once more, sounding even more shocked.
Nie Tian furrowed his brows when he saw Baili Shengxue's figure swaying in the air before falling down.
He flew over and caught Baili Shengxue in his arms.
"His aura is so weak!" Nie Tian took a step forward and flew to a safe location. Sensing Baili Shengxue's aura, he couldn't help but exclaim, his face darkening.
At this moment, Baili Shengxue's entire body was dripping with blood. Numerous bloody wounds appeared on his body, making him look like a bloody mess.
It was obvious that these wounds were left behind by the Nine-lives Ghost Cats.
With Baili Shengxue's strength, these wounds should be able to heal very quickly.
However, his wounds showed no signs of healing. Instead, they were bleeding profusely, dying his entire body red.
Nie Tian took a deep breath and prepared to heal Baili Shengxue's wounds with the power of the Earth Vein's Source.
"Wait!" However, at this time, the Ghost Emperor hastily said: "He has been injured by the Nine Lives Ghost Cat. The power of the Six Soul Ghost Curse has already seeped into his martial body. Healing his wounds now is equivalent to killing him!"
"Six Souls Ghost Curse!" Nie Tian was stunned. He had no idea what kind of power it was.
The Ghost Emperor frowned and explained, "The Six Souls Ghost Curse is the power of the Nine-lives Ghost Cat's bloodline. Once it seeps into a cultivator's Martial Body, it will rapidly weaken the cultivator's Divine Soul and Yuan Meridians."
"Those black cats were the Nine-lives Ghost Cats?" Nie Tian asked with a frown.
"Yes!" The Ghost Emperor nodded. He had guessed what Nie Tian was thinking and said, "The beasts in this world are divided into three categories according to their abilities: Spirit Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Saint Beasts."
"Generally speaking, the beasts in the Planar World are all Spirit Beasts, the Realms are mostly Divine Beasts, and the Sacred Worlds are mostly Saint Beasts."
"Spirit Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Saint Beasts have their own ranks."
"Among the Holy Beasts, the strongest are rank nine Holy Beasts."
"However, among the rank nine Divine Beasts, there are some exceptions. Due to the fact that they have existed for a very long time, the bloodline power within their bodies has continued to accumulate. Gradually, they have surpassed ordinary rank nine Divine Beasts, and are known as Divine Beasts that surpass rank nine."
"The Nine Lives Ghost Cat is one of the holy beasts that surpasses rank nine. Its bloodline power is the Six Souls Ghost Curse!"
After hearing the Ghost Emperor's words, Nie Tian could not help but frown with a gloomy expression.
He didn't expect that beasts also had Bloodline Power.
Actually, it wasn't strange when one thought about it. Just like Fat Cat's inherited memories, it was also a kind of bloodline power.
What surprised him even more was that the seemingly weak Nine-Lives Ghost Cat was actually a Saint Beast that surpassed the ninth level!
But if the Nine-Lives Ghost Cat was a Saint Beast that surpassed the Ninth Tier, why was it so weak?
A Level Nine Sacred Beast should be comparable to a human at the peak of the Sage Realm.
However, from the looks of it, the Nine Lives Ghost Cat wasn't all that strong. In fact, it wasn't even comparable to a rank nine Godly Beast.
"The Nine-Lives Ghost Cat is a Saint Beast that surpassed the ninth level. In other words, it has the potential to become a Divine Beast that surpassed the ninth level." The Ghost Emperor knew what Nie Tian was thinking. He said, "However, the extent of a beast's growth is mainly determined by the environment it grows up in."
"For example, human cultivators with the same aptitude and potential would have completely different achievements in the Martial Dao if they grew up in the Sacred World and if they grew up in a realm."
"That Nine-Lives Ghost Cat grew up in a realm. Of course it wouldn't be very strong."
Nie Tian nodded slightly as he understood the Ghost Emperor's words.
When a Nine-Lives Ghost Cat grew up in a realm, its strength would only reach the peak of the Divine Realm due to its environment.
For example, if Nie Tian was a Sacred World cultivator, his current strength would definitely be at the Sage Realm!
"Ghost Emperor, what happened just now? Nie Tian calmed down and asked in a grim voice, "Why did those Nine-Lives Ghost Cats suddenly start burning?"
The scene just now was extremely strange. With a single slash from Nie Tian, the Nine-Lives Ghost Cats' bodies were covered in strange runes before they spontaneously combusted to death.
It was as if a human cultivator had died from combusting his blood qi.
"Those Nine-Lives Ghost Cats are most likely being controlled by someone. The Nine-Lives Ghost Cats died because they lost control of the Six Souls Ghost Curse in their bodies." The Ghost Emperor frowned and his expression turned solemn.
Nie Tian's face sank. He was extremely shocked.
He didn't expect those Nine-Lives Ghost Cats to be controlled by someone.
Just how strong was the person controlling the Nine-Lives Ghost Cats?
"Nie Tian, it's all speculation now. You don't have to worry too much. Let's save this kid first, "the Ghost Emperor said calmly.
The Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range was filled with a strange aura that gave the Ghost Emperor an ominous feeling.
He didn't want to put too much pressure on Nie Tian, so he didn't tell him too much.
Following this, Nie Tian inserted the energy of the stars into Baili Shengxue's body to force out the power of the Six Souls Ghost Curse.
The power of the Six Souls Ghost Curse was extremely terrifying.
Luckily, Nie Tian possessed the energy of the stars, thus he was able to force the Six Souls Ghost Curse out. Otherwise, Baili Shengxue would be in great danger.
Half a day later, Nie Tian finally managed to force the Six Souls Ghost Curse out of Baili Shengxue's body.
Baili Shengxue's life was no longer in danger. His wounds began to heal slowly.
However, his injuries were too serious. He would need some time to fully recover.
"Thank you." Baili Shengxue regained his senses. He knew that Nie Tian had saved his life. He glanced at Nie Tian and expressed his gratitude.
"You've saved my life once, so we're even." Nie Tian nodded with a smile.
Baili Shengxue's eyes flickered with astonishment, but he didn't say anything.
Following this, Nie Tian and the rest didn't dare to approach the crack on the ground. They entered the Heavenly Punishment Forbidden Area and found a remote valley to rest.
Three days later, Baili Shengxue's condition improved a little.
Nie Tian and the rest stood up and prepared to leave the valley for the hinterland of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range.
If the Heaven and Earth Holy Vein really existed, it would definitely be in the hinterland of the mountain range.
After exiting the valley, Nie Tian and the rest headed for the hinterland of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range.
Along the way, Nie Tian and the rest quickly discovered that many cultivators had arrived at the forbidden area. Moreover, they were all heading in the same direction.
The Forbidden Formation of the Heavenly Punishment Forbidden Area had already collapsed. It wasn't strange for a large number of cultivators to swarm in.
However, it was strange for so many people to be heading in the same direction.
"Brother, did something happen? Where are you all going? "Luo Hou stopped a cultivator and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you know? Someone found the Heaven and Earth Holy Vein. It's in the valley ahead. "The man frowned and said impatiently. He then turned around and left.
