Chapter 25

"Chi chi!"

Inside the beast bone, the drop of congealed blood suddenly burst into flames after Nie Tian's mind entered it.

A wisp of Nie Tian's soul clearly saw threads of fire suddenly entangle and twist within the blood, faintly forming a strange beast pattern.

The beast pattern took the shape of a dragon, constantly changing, filled with mystery.

"Ah!"

Nie Tian let out a light exclamation and tried to sink his soul into it.

As if triggering a secret checkpoint, the beast bone suddenly flew out of his palm, hovering quietly in front of his chest, and burst into intense flames.

His soul instantly returned to his spiritual platform from within the beast bone.

He stared intently at the beast bone.

"Chi chi!"

Strands of firelight circled the beast bone, which gradually began to spin, generating a terrifying suction force.

A few seconds later, a fiery light portal formed from the beast bone and the fire threads.

"Ka ka!"

As soon as the fiery light portal formed, strange sounds came from the surrounding space, and spatial cracks with flowing light appeared.

Inside the room, the teaware on the stone table and the clothes on the bed were pulled by the suction force and suddenly flew into the spatial cracks, disappearing instantly.

In an instant, even the stone table and the stone slabs on the ground were suddenly sucked into the cracks.

"Zhi zhi!"

The bed Nie Tian was on could not withstand the powerful suction and seemed about to carry him into the spatial cracks.

He suddenly felt a strong fear, knowing that if he was pulled into those bizarre spatial cracks, he would never see his grandfather and Nie Qian again.

Just as he was terrified and about to cry for help, the fiery light portal seemed to turn into a giant beast's mouth, swallowing him whole.

The fiery light portal then rapidly shrank, instantly becoming a tiny speck of fire.

The speck of fire flickered twice and vanished into thin air in his room.

"Hu hu!"

The spatial cracks, with their suction force greatly increased, took away everything in the room and then healed one after another.

After the fiery light portal and the bizarre spatial cracks disappeared, the small room returned to peace.

However, Nie Tian and the stone table, stone chair, wooden bed, and other items in the room were nowhere to be found.

"Xiao Tian, are you asleep?" Nie Qian's voice called from outside the room a while later.

After Nie Qian explained the terrifying nature of the beast bone to Nie Donghai, Nie Donghai, though he said he believed Nie Tian could control it, was still worried. So, he and Nie Qian came over to investigate the mysteries of the beast bone with his experience and insight.

Nie Qian called for a while, and when Nie Tian did not respond, she could not help but forcefully push open the door.

"Ah!"

As soon as she stepped into the room and saw the empty space with nothing left, she immediately screamed.

Nie Donghai's forehead veins bulged, and without thinking, he began to roar loudly: "The Yuan family is incredibly bold, daring to kidnap Xiao Tian from the Nie family!"

He assumed that after Yuan Qiuying discovered the disappearance of the two attackers, she had arranged for a powerful person to act.

"Daddy, what should we do? What can we do?" Nie Qian cried out, at a loss.

"The Yun family and the Yuan family must immediately release Xiao Tian! I will go find the second brother; he is the current head of the Nie family. If he does not stand up for Xiao Tian, I will never let him off!" Nie Donghai said this and immediately went to find Nie Beichuan, determined to get Nie Tian out as soon as possible.

"Yuan Qiuying! If anything happens to Xiao Tian, I will never forgive you!" Nie Qian said mournfully.

...

In an unknown realm, the spiritual energy was incredibly dense.

Eight bone dragons, each a thousand meters long, were arranged in an octagonal pattern, their heads facing a broken altar. The ancient altar was stained with blood, as if it had been corroded by countless years.

A spark suddenly appeared in the center of the altar, expanding rapidly.

"Bang!"

A child's figure flew out of the firelight and was thrown heavily to the ground.

"Pa da!"

In the next moment, the large fiery light sphere shrank into a small bone fragment, falling beside the child.

Nie Tian, feeling dizzy and disoriented, lay on the altar, his body aching all over.

"What kind of place is this?"

He opened his eyes wide, looking at the gray sky, gradually regaining his senses.

A moment ago, he was clearly in his room, and he only remembered the fiery light portal formed by the beast bone swallowing him whole.

Now, he was here.

Lying on the altar, he clearly felt that the gravity here was even stronger than the tenfold gravity field formed by the Xuanhuang Shield!

His back was tightly pressed against the cold, hard stone slab, and he struggled to sit up slowly.

"The spiritual energy here is so dense, more than ten times thicker than at Lingyun Mountain!"

When he breathed, he felt the spiritual energy in the air flowing into his dantian like a gentle stream.

His spirit was invigorated, and he immediately became excited, curiously looking around.

"Dragon heads! Eight huge dragon heads!"

He saw eight huge dragon heads, like small mountains, surrounding him.

The eight dragon heads had no flesh, only grayish-white skulls.

There were no eyes in the dragon heads; the empty eye sockets all faced him, as if silently observing him, making him feel a bit uneasy.

He quickly averted his gaze and looked further, seeing that the bodies of the eight giant dragons extended a thousand meters away.

In the distance, under the gray sky, there seemed to be mountains, each as tall as Lingyun Mountain.

As he focused, he was suddenly stunned and became呆滞.

What initially looked like mountains, upon closer inspection, turned out to be giant arms!

The giant arms were dark yellow, some clenched into fists as if releasing boundless anger, some with fingers spread as if trying to grasp the sky, and some forming strange hand seals as if containing the principles of the universe.

Each giant arm looked like a towering peak from a distance.

The other end of the arms was like the roots of towering ancient trees, deeply buried in the ground.

It seemed that the true bodies of the giants were within the earth, trying to break free from the earth's cover and soar into the sky!

Just the arms exposed above the ground were as huge as mountains, and Nie Tian could not imagine how enormous the bodies buried in the earth must be!

"One, two, three... thirty-two!"

He counted and found that there were at least thirty-two giant arms within his line of sight.

This meant that there were at least sixteen enormous beings buried deep in the earth!

"Eight giant dragons, at least sixteen terrifying giants, this... what kind of place is this? Am I dreaming?"

Thinking this, he bit his tongue hard and immediately felt intense pain.

"Not a dream? This is different from before; this is not a dream!"

He remembered that after fighting with Nie Hong, he often fell into dreams while running a high fever.

The unknown realm he saw in those dreams was somewhat similar to the scene before him.

However, he always knew that those dreams were just dreams, not real.

But this time, he was not in a dream; he was in a real world, an unknown realm he had never seen before!

"Chi chi!"

Beside his feet, the beast bone that brought him here flickered with threads of fire.

He instinctively looked at the beast bone.

For some reason, just looking at the firelight made him feel an endless sense of sorrow.

The flickering firelight seemed to be telling a story...

"Dragon?"

His mind stirred, and he suddenly recalled the strange realm he saw in the seventy-third mine shaft when the beast bone condensed a drop of blood, and his soul saw within the blood.

In that fiery space, countless flames gathered to form a giant flame dragon.

Later, on the way back to Heiyun City, when he threw the beast bone at the two blue-robed men, the beast bone also turned into a flame dragon.

After thinking for a while, he gradually realized that the beast bone must have come from a giant flame dragon.

The eight bone dragons beside the altar, which were only skeletons, must have belonged to the same clan as the beast bone and were also flame dragons in life.

"I should explore. This realm is not just as big as what I can see; there might be more mysteries in the farther lands."

Thinking this, he tried to stand up but found that the gravity from deep within the earth was holding him down.

—He could not stand up.
