novelThe Longer He Fights, the Stronger He Becomes!

In the Realm of Maelstrom.
Spatial rifts appeared from time to time in the well-like watery curtain in the heavens.
Zhao Shanling, who had entered the Saint domain, flew about in it with his Voidspirit Pagoda floating over his head.
Years ago, Pei Qiqi had come to the Realm of Maelstrom, where she had either destroyed or absorbed the spatial rifts that might connected to outsider heaven and earths with her Space Boundaries Crystal.
Right now, all of the spatial rifts that remained connected to other human realms. The same went for the ones that were now appearing.
SHEW!
A Qi warrior flew out of one of the spatial rifts, clad in a glorious suit of armor and holding a long sword.
"Who are you?" Zhao Shanling asked.
The man was at the late Saint domain, and bore a strong resemblance to Yin Xingtian."My name is Yin Zhong. I'm here to join the battle in the Realm of Maelstrom as our sectmaster commands."
Upon hearing this, Qu Mingde said, "Great. Come with me."
Zhao Shanling nodded as they left.
Time went by...
Having learned about the battle, many sects and clans that were close to Nie Tian sent their Saint and Void domain experts, which were the backbones of their forces, to the Realm of Maelstrom through teleportation portals or spatial rifts.
"I'm Mo Li from the Heavenly Thunder Sect. These members of our sect and the Mo Clan are here to join the battle with me."
"I'm from the Profound Purity Palace..."
With the help of his Voidspirit Pagoda, Zhao Shanling flew about to receive them, before sending them to the Five Elements Sect starships in the starry river through teleportation portals.
Group after group of Qi warriors from different realms then appeared in the starry river outside the Realm of Maelstrom.
Upon arriving, they dove into the fierce battle against the Phantasms, Fiends, and Demons.
The inter-racial battle went on like a raging fire.
SHEW!
A glorious streak of light shot across and vanished in the well-like heavens in the Realm of Maelstrom.
Jing Rou from the Divine Seal Sect let out a soft sigh and said, "Another Saint domain expert seems to have perished. I hate that we're not strong enough to take part in a battle at such a level."
Duan Shihu smiled bitterly."You said it."
Before, Jing Rou had had the higher cultivation base between the couple, which was the late Soul realm.
But now, while she was still at the late Soul realm, Duan Shihu had advanced to the late Soul realm, and was only a step away from entering the Void domain.
However, since they hadn't entered the Void domain, it would be far too dangerous if they joined the battle that was taking place in the starry river without domains to protect themselves with.
Therefore, they had been ordered to remain in the Realm of Maelstrom.
All of a sudden, a Qi warrior from the Divine Seal Sect rushed over to report to Jing Rou, "Miss, the Fiend abomination, Gupi, is heading directly towards the Realm of Divine Seal!"
"What?!" Jing Rou exclaimed in shock.
"Has everyone evacuated?" Duan Shihu asked aloud.
Casting his gaze down, the man said, "A part of us, yes. But there are also people who have faith in our grand spell formation, which has protected our realm from previous outsider invasions.
"So they chose not to leave the Realm of Divine Seal. They said that someone had to stay and operate the grand spell formation and defenses with their soul will."
Looking anxious, Jing Rou said, "Everyone knows how devastatingly powerful Gupi is. I can't believe there are still people who are foolish enough to remain in the Realm of Divine Seal!"
"I'll go inform the sectmaster, " Duan Shihu said in a worried voice.
...
In the starry river.
Nie Tian roared in his enlarged form. Wreathed in raging flames and flesh aura, he swung the Star Behemoth bone that was more than two hundred meters long, releasing a streak of blinding red light.
"Destroy, destroy..." The Doom Spirit's deafening roars continued to come from the Doom Blade.
Rolling blackish-violet Demon Qi, along with demonic flames and purple lightning bolts, attempted to destroy all lives and envelop its surroundings in death.
Drops of Ophelia's Blood Essence spun and burned in the raging Demon Qi like purple crystals.
The fierce battle had already covered Ophelia and Nie Tian's enormous bodies in bloody wounds.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
Fragmentary crimson sparks could be seen flickering in Nie Tian's wounds.
With his vast flesh aura, Nie Tian was snuffing out the wisps of destructive intent Ophelia's demonic blade left in those wounds.
At this point, the Star Behemoth bone could no longer easily neutralize all of the Doom Blade's attacks as it had been able to when the battle had first started.
CRACK!
The demonic blade was brought down with great power, and cut into Nie Tian's stone-hard shoulder.
Nie Tian's skin and flesh was instantly ripped open. However, his crystallized bones were strong enough to stop the blade, and at same time, give it a violent backlash!
Then, as a loud rumble echoed out, numerous blood-colored strings flew out of Nie Tian's sides to pierce into Ophelia's sides like red steel needles.
"Life Drain!"
As soon as he exclaimed, Ophelia's flesh power left her like water rushing through a shattered dam.
She hastily swung her demonic blade to sever the blood-colored strings. Only by doing so did she stop her rich flesh power from hemorrhaging.
"Such an extreme and evil bloodline talent, even more so than my people's!" Ophelia bellowed.
POOPH!
In a flash of blinding starlight, Nie Tian cast the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace's Starshift, and vanished from Ophelia's side.
In the next moment, he appeared behind the Demon grand patriarch that Li Wanfa and Zhang Qiling were fighting together.
"Life Drain!"
He activated the bloodline talent once again.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon grand patriarch was pierced by countless blood strings. His scalding hot flesh power started pouring madly into Nie Tian.
The flesh power he had consumed in his fierce battle against Ophelia was instantly made up for, along with the Blood Essence he had burned to maintain Life Blend.
"Hahaha!" With a cunning, wild laugh, Nie Tian absorbed the flesh power of the Demon grand patriarch, who was less than a hundred meters tall and significantly smaller than him, to his heart's content.
His courage and confidence mounted as Life Drain worked its magic. For the first time, he used this scary bloodline talent without trying to hide it.
"You! You're more freakish than any outsider!" By the time Ophelia snapped out of her daze, she realized that that clansman of hers had already been drained of all his flesh power, and died.
Even his heart was robbed of every last wisp of its power.
That was when the five evil gods swirled out of the Spirit Pearl, shredded his soul, and then flew back with the pieces.
Within such a short time, the grand patriarch's body and soul were taken by Nie Tian and the evil gods respectively!
PUFF!
As Nie Tian cast the Star Behemoth bone casually towards a Phantasm grand patriarch, it easily pierced through his abdomen and flew out of his back.
Ling Bingyun, Han Qiong, and Kong Shuangjing, who were attacking him from different directions, then seized the opportunity to launch fatal attacks.
"Ice Blast!"
Frost power first froze the Phantasm grand patriarch's heart, and then ignited it.
The Phantasm grand patriarch's heart then exploded into countless frozen bits that were the size of fingernails.
WHOOSH!
After casting Starshift again, Nie Tian appeared like a shadow.
Blood strings madly shot out of him into the Phantasm grand patriarch's corpse, as well as the bits of his shattered heart, where they started absorbing rich flesh power.
"This Star of Calamities is scary..." Kong Shuangjing said inwardly before he quickly gave Ling Bingyun and Han Qiong a meaningful glance.
Then, the three of them sensibly flew away from the Phantasm grand patriarch.
"Nie Tian! I'm the one you're supposed to fight!" Ophelia shouted furiously.
In the middle of their duel, Nie Tian had suddenly changed his strategy, and effortlessly killed a Phantasm and a Demon grand patriarch to drain their flesh power. Him doing this while a winner hadn't emerged from their duel infuriated Ophelia.
Furthermore, this also made her slightly insecure and uneasy.
After all, she couldn't recover her Blood Essence and flesh power as quickly as Nie Tian could.
Within a short period of time, Nie Tian, who had grown slightly weary from the battle, returned to being as vigorous as when the battle had begun, or even more vigorous!
