Thousand Layers of Ghosts. Outside the enchantment.
Qing Qi stared at the enchantment, his archaic eyes trembling. He could actually see blood energy seeping out of the enchantment, causing it to be covered in a faint layer of blood.
With such a huge amount of blood and qi leaking out, one could imagine how fierce the battle inside the barrier was.
"That's Nie Tian's blood energy!" Ruoyu Qianye murmured, a complex expression on her face. It was hard to tell if she was worried or worried about something else.
"Yeah," Qing Qi said, nodding. How could he not sense Nie Tian's blood energy? He just hadn't said anything about it.
Judging from the current situation, Nie Tian was either seriously injured, or burning his blood energy to fight.
Either way, it was a very bad situation for Nie Tian.
Meanwhile, inside the enchantment.
The Hellfire Crucible roared, and Devil Night was inside, surrounded by hellfire. The flames were like snakes of flame, and yet they couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
Even though Nie Tian had ignited his flesh aura, he could only trap Mo Ye for a while.
"Idiot!" Devil Night growled. Although the Hellfire Crucible couldn't kill him, being trapped by Nie Tian was still irritating.
Never could he have guessed that Nie Tian would be able to fight back in such a dire situation.
Unfortunately, the Hellfire Crucible, Shroud Heaven totems, the Starry Sky Eye, and the energy of a sage, as well as the Starry Sky Sword Formation and the Starry River Lockdown, meant that Nie Tian's blood energy couldn't last much longer.
Nie Tian was fighting a pyrrhic victory. He was killing eight hundred enemies, but losing a thousand of his own!
"Let's see how long you can hold out, Nie Tian!" Devil Night laughed maniacally, drawing upon his power to break free of the Hellfire Crucible as soon as Nie Tian couldn't hold out any longer.
"Righteous and evil, partners of light and darkness." Nie Tian stood there, bathed in blood, his blood energy raging like rain. "Devil Night, if you and I live together, then we should die together."
"Live and die together?" Hearing Nie Tian's words, Mo Ye's gloomy eyes couldn't help but shrink. He immediately realized something and shouted, "Nie Tian, what do you want to do?"
Even as the words left his mouth, the flames in the Hellfire Crucible exploded with power, transforming into crimson blades that began to devour everything in their path.
"Hmm?" In the blink of an eye, Mo Ye sensed that something was wrong. He frowned, and immediately, the power in his body surged out, but he was unable to resist the burning power of the Hellfire. In the blink of an eye, his entire body was riddled with holes.
"How is this possible?!" Mo Ye cried out as a terrifying burning pain spread throughout his body.
"Mo Ye, it's true that my strength is inferior to yours, but do you have the resolve to live and die together with me?" At this time, Nie Tian's voice rang in Mo Ye's ears like a death knell.
"You lunatic!" Mo Ye shouted in exasperation. He already understood what Nie Tian was going to do.
As of this moment, Nie Tian was burning his own blood energy, as well as his bloodline power. He was going to use the Hellfire Crucible to consume Mo Ye!
Of course, the price he would have to pay was Nie Tian's own death.
This was what Nie Tian meant when he said they would live and die together!
"You have ten seconds," Nie Tian said in a deep voice. "You can choose to end the battle here."
"Isn't it just dying together? Bring it on! " Mo Ye burst out laughing like a madman. "I bet you have more things to worry about in this world than I do. If I die with you, I won't lose out!"
"Oh really?" Nie Tian said, chuckling coldly. "What happened to your obsession? If you die now, then you'll never be able to defeat me. Then you will forever be my vassal, forever a shadow behind me. "
As soon as the words left his mouth, Devil Night sensed that the flames in the Hellfire Crucible were even more terrifying than before, as though they were about to burn him to death.
Outside of the aegis, Qing Qi and Ruoyu Qianye were staring at it with bloodshot eyes.
Their nerves were stretched taut, their hearts in their throats, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
They knew that the fight inside the aegis was reaching its climax, and that victory and defeat would soon be decided.
If the person who emerged from the aegis wasn't Nie Tian, then everything would be over.
Inside the ward, Nie Tian's flesh aura surged and burned madly like flames. He could clearly feel that his bloodline power was weakening at an alarming rate.
As for the Hellfire Crucible, it was completely calm, and not a single sound could be heard.
Apparently, Mo Ye had already made up his mind to take Nie Tian down with him.
Time passed second by second, and Nie Tian felt as if a lifetime had passed with each passing second.
Three!
Two!
One!
In the last second, Nie Tian thought, and his nine dragon meridians emitted a draconic roar as they burst into flames.
Since there was no other way out, he could only walk the path of death!
"Stop!" In that critical moment, Devil Night's voice echoed out from the Hellfire Crucible, his voice like thunder, filled with rage and killing intent.
Then, the aegis vanished.
Nie Tian's pupils constricted, and his nine dragon meridians vanished. His tensed body went limp, and he fell to the ground.
Ruoyu Qianye blurted out, "Nie Tian!" Then she blurred into motion to catch Nie Tian.
"I didn't lose," Nie Tian said, his mouth twitching. His face was deathly pale, and his aura was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
"Don't say anything," she said. Ruoyu Qianye's eyes flickered as she sent some power into Nie Tian, and his aura immediately began to recover.
Qing Qi looked at the nearby Mo Ye. The latter's face was so gloomy that it seemed like it was dripping with water, and he seemed like a man-eating beast.
"You didn't win either!" Mo Ye said, his eyes flickering with cold light.
Qing Qi frowned. He had already guessed that Nie Tian must have used some sort of extreme method to force Mo Ye to give up the fight.
At this point, Nie Tian's condition stabilized a bit, and he sat down cross-legged. About half an hour later, he recovered about thirty percent of his strength.
"Mo Ye," Nie Tian said, rising to his feet. "The first fight isn't over. Once I'm back to full strength, we can continue."
"Count yourself lucky this time," Mo Ye replied, his expression somber. "Next time, you won't be so lucky."
"I'll wait and see," Nie Tian said with a faint smile, his face expressionless.
The battle against Mo Ye just now had been extremely dangerous. Nie Tian had sustained severe injuries, and even his bloodline power had been damaged. However, he had also discovered that Mo Ye was in the same predicament as he had been: the different types of energies within him were conflicting with each other.
It was obvious that Mo Ye hadn't formed the Star Bloodline yet, which was why Nie Tian was able to suppress him with the Star Bloodline.
Moreover, because Mo Ye's various powers were stronger than Nie Tian's, it was even more difficult for him to unify them.
On the other hand, Nie Tian already had the Star Bloodline, but he couldn't use it proficiently yet.
