Chapter 545: Nine Heavens Nebula Formation
The closer the Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan came to the realm beast, the larger the titan became. Even as large as it grew, its height was still dwarfed by the realm beast. His entire size only equaled the realm beast’s head.
The realm beast roared again and glared at Tianyi. Minister Vastlight sensed something amiss. Last time, the realm beast was a wild creature with no logic other than instinct. This time, he could sense a deep malice emanating from the realm beast directed at the Nine Heavens Emperor. Had the Demon Clan found a way to control the realm beast, or direct it to target someone?
The immortal minister’s thoughts did not matter. He had already reported the matter, and he was not the only one who detected something wrong, but in the current situation, they could only face it head on. Or the Nine Heavens Emperor had to. Like Minister Everpast, Minister Vastlight was prepared to reinforce his ally at a moment’s notice.
In complete contrast, the members of the Numinous Sword Sect had already left the immediate vicinity of the realm beast and engaged in battle against the demons with no intention of reinforcing the Nine Heavens Emperor should something go awry, save for one.
Bao Ling stared at the realm beast and the Nine Heavens Emperor’s confrontation with interest. Of course, this didn’t mean that he was idle. He would swing his sword and release sword light to attack the demons. One swing could cause a demon king to perish. Even demon emperors had to be wary of his sword light.
Being a sword immortal did not mean they were weak in ranged combat. They were also famous for their flying swords, swords that attacked through telepathic control. Some could even control a large amount of flying swords to form formations by themselves and attack. The most famous example was Lu Dongbin of the Eight Immortals.
Although it was rare for a sword immortal to use sword light for long range attack instead of using auxiliary means, it would not be the first time. Still, the demons did not foolishly determine that Bao Ling was a long range specialist. While keeping their eyes on him, they continued to fight the other humans.
Tianyi did not have enough spare attention to care about the entire battle. All his attention was concentrated on the realm beast. He raised his fist and smashed the realm beast’s forehead. Although the realm beast’s body shook, only a few scales had cracks appear on them.
He wasn’t done. The Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan’s right arm wriggled, as if something was ready to burst out beneath the skin. It collapsed into a black mist that engulfed the realm beast’s head before shrouding its entire body. The Nine Heaven Cosmic Titan retreated and regenerated its sacrificed arm in less than a second.
