Qin Lieās Dark Soul Beast avatar was standing in front of a giant realm entrance with a look of extreme anxiety on his face.
āIt doesnāt work! The realm entrance at the Vermillion Bird Realm is currently closed, and thereās simply no way to build a bridge to the other side!ā Ji Yuan yelled.
Chen Lin, Dan Yuanqing, and Miao Yizi were also here. They were all waiting for the realm entrance to connect to Vermillion Bird Realm.
By now, everyone had heard of the sudden attack on Vermillion Bird Realm. Everyone was trying to enter that world as soon as they possible.
āHow did those Spirit Realm clansmen find out that your true body is currently at Vermillion Bird Realm?ā Miao Yizi asked in puzzlement.
āWho knows.ā Qin Lieās face was scarily dark.
āVermillion Bird Realm is quite far away from Spirit Realm. We wonāt be able to make it there quickly if the realm entrance is unusable,ā Chen Lin said in frustration.
Boluo Realm.
The golden giant Banderas was also standing in front of a realm entrance beside Qin Lieās Blood Soul Beast avatar.
They had also tried to use Boluo Realmās realm entrance to travel to Vermillion Bird Realm instantly and aid Qin Lieās true body in battle.
Unfortunately, their attempt had ended in failure just like at the Ji Family. The realm entrance couldnāt form a successful connection with Vermillion Bird Realm.
Qin Lieās Blood Soul Beast avatar and Banderas were equally frustrated by the failure.
āWhatās wrong?ā
Suddenly, the Flame Emperorās voice came from Seven Spirits Islands.
Qin Lie turned around and noticed that the Flame Emperor was standing side by side with Tang Siqi.
The Flame Emperor seemed to take notice of the urgency on his face, and he immediately skipped past a dozen or so kilometers of distance and appeared in front of Qin Lie.\nāNarsen of the Satorius Family, a family of the Spirit Race, has appeared at Vermillion Bird Realm. Neither one of my avatars are able to travel to the Vermillion Bird Realm using a realm entrance,ā Qin Lieās Blood Soul Beast avatar said in a heavy tone. āMoreover, Narsen had also locked down Vermillion Bird Realmās space. Itās stopping me from using other ways from reaching there in time.ā
āIs he aiming for your true body?ā The Flame Emperorās face turned serious.
Qin Lie nodded.
āThe Vermillion Bird Realm has been closed off to the outside world, and no realm entrances can connect to that world. In that caseā¦ā The Flame Emperor pondered for a moment before replying, āI will contact the Ice Emperor right away!ā
āThe Ice Emperor?ā His reply caused a shiver in Qin Lie.
āHeās probably still at Ice Phoenix Realm right now. Ice Phoenix Realm isnāt too far away from the Vermillion Bird Realm, but itās still going to take him some time to fly all the way there to help you,ā the Flame Emperor said seriously, āBut it wonāt be too long! Heās also the only one who can make it to Vermillion Bird Realm in the shortest time possible and stop someone like Narsen!ā
The Flame Emperor suddenly closed his eyes.
An extremely well concealed spatial ripple spread out and vanished into the unknown space.
It would seem that the Flame Emperor, the Ice Emperor, and the Thunder Emperor shared a special soul contact method with each other.
Thanks to that, the Flame Emperor was able to convey his thoughts directly to the Ice Emperor.
āDone.ā The Flame Emperor opened his eyes and said, āThe Ice Emperor has received the news, and he promises to make his way to Vermillion Bird Realm as quickly as he can. Try to stall as long as you can until the Ice Emperor makes it to Vermillion Bird Realm. There should be no danger once he arrives.ā\nāThank you!ā
ā¦ā¦
āThamur is still alive?ā
At Vermillion Bird Realm, Qin Lie turned pale with shock upon hearing that his fellow peer was still alive. This was the first time another peer at the same rank had induced such a deep level of of uneasiness in him.
Thamur had caused tremendous waves at the Origin World, almost killed Indigo, and played the God Race and the Abyss Devils like fiddles. But Narsen was telling him that that terrifying foe had just been the scheme of a subsoul all this time?
Did this mean that the Thamur who had created the Light of Annihilation and even attracted a shadow being into the Flaming Sun Abyss was a subsoul as well?
Worse, even Narsen had no idea where Thamurās main soul was hiding, and what kind of mysteries he truly held.
What on Spirit Realm was that guy trying to do?
āThamur isnāt dead, but Oktan is dead!ā Narsen yelled harshly. āAnd heās dead because of you!ā
The Lizard Progenitor and Curtis blocked in front of Qin Lie as naturally as breathing when they saw Narsenās fury.
Narsen laughed harshly at their reaction. āThe likes of you wish to stop me?ā
He raised his hands in an attempt to kill them both.
Suddenly, Qin Lie spoke up. āDid you notice that something is different about Vermillion Bird Realm?ā
Narsen was caught off guard.
āDid you notice that aura of the Flaming Sun Abyss is permeating throughout Vermillion Bird Realm?ā Qin Lie asked again.
āI havenāt been to the Flaming Sun Abyss before.ā Narsen snorted coldly.
Qin Lie nodded before smiling at him. āIn that case, there is one thing I must inform you, senior.ā
āWhat is it?ā Narsen asked impatiently, āDo you think stalling for time will do you any good? Forget it, my subordinates have full control over the realm entrance of Vermillion Bird Realm, and no one whoāll be able to make it through. Moreover, Iāve sealed the space around you with my bloodline powers, so you wonāt be able to use the Demon Spirit of Space and Timeās bloodline ability to summon your Soul Beast avatars either. This means that you wonāt be able to escape my grasp no matter what you try.ā\nHe sounded absolutely confident.
āIs that so?ā Qin Lie broke into a laugh. āDid you forget that Iām the creator of the Flaming Sun Abyss? Right now, the Vermillion Bird Realm is intricately tied to the Flaming Sun Abyss. Do you seriously think that you can kill me here?ā
āFlaming Sun Abyss is connected to this realm? How is that possible?!ā Narsen exclaimed in shock.
āWhy not?ā Qin Lie countered.
āIt is far, far too difficult to connect an outer realm to an Abyss level directly. Itās nearly an impossible task!ā Narsen was clearly aware of the intricacies involved in connecting the two worlds.
āThere is no such thing as āimpossibleā.ā Qin Lie chuckled strangely.
āRrrrmb!ā
A loud rumble came from the bottom of the volcano he was in. Spurts of lava suddenly gushed out of the mouth of the volcano like fire dragons.
āWhoosh!ā
His one-level Soul Altar abruptly flew out of his head and stopped before his eyes.
Complicated, strange patterns of fire slowly appeared on the surface of the translucent Soul Altar.
The fire patterns seemed to be drawing on the network that was the laws of fire and changing the natural laws of the realm according to its own whims.
At the same time, two ancient and mysterious characters of the Abyss appeared from inside the Soul AltarāFlaming Sun!
āCāmon, sense it. Do you notice that Vermillion Bird Realm is changing now?ā Qin Lie smiled at him.
Narsenās expression changed when he realized that Qin Lie was telling the truth.
āIt is true that I am not able to tear down this lock with my shallow knowledge of fire right now. It is also true that I canāt use my Demon Spirit of Space and Time bloodline to use Star Door ability.ā Qin Lie suddenly relaxed. āBut if all Iām trying to do is to return to the Flaming Sun Abyss through Vermillion Bird Realm, what can you possibly do to stop me?ā\nCountless flames suddenly poured out of his pores and covered his entire body.
Narsen actually was able to detect the scent of the Abyss from the flames. This meant that as the creator, Qin Lie really did have the ability to return to the Flaming Sun Abyss anytime he wished.
Narsen suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
It was only now that he learned that the creator of an Abyss could return to their Abyss level anytime they wished if the foreign realm had become connected with their Abyss level.
āWhoosh!ā
Qin Lie instantly vanished before his eyes.
Narsenās soul consciousness currently covered five thousand kilometers of space, but he wasnāt able to find Qin Lieās soul presence at all. He immediately realized that Qin Lie had returned to the Flaming Sun Abyss.
He immediately believed that Qin Lie was telling him the truth.
An instant later, Qin Lie had returned back to Vermillion Bird Realm.
The young man smiled cheekily at the Spirit Race clansmen.
Narsen stared at him darkly before asking, āHow did you manage to connect the Flaming Sun Abyss and Vermillion Bird Realm?ā
āThat is a secret.ā Qin Lie shook his head before shooting a question of his own. āDid those two Soul Race princes know that my true body had left Spirit Realm with their holy artifact? Is that why they had chosen this moment to slip into the Ji Family and the Ao Family?ā
Narsen threw Qin Lieās previous reply right back at him. āThat is a secret!ā
Qin Lie pondered for a moment before his expression turned cold. āHow did you know that I was in Vermillion Bird Realm? Did Great Master Tian Qi inform you of my whereabouts?ā
āYou know that I was condemned by the Spirit Race.ā Narsen snorted.\nāGreat Sage Tian Qi had operated in Spirit Realm for many years, and Iām sure he had planted countless spies there using the identity of āGreat Master Tian Qiā.ā Qin Lie thought for a moment before continuing. āHeās the only one who would know Spirit Realm like the back of his palm. Heās also the only one who might know that Iām at Vermillion Bird Realm right now. If he thinks that youāre still useful to him, he will send you useful information whether youāre condemned or not. In fact, I believe that itās all thanks to him that you were able to arrive at Spirit Realm so quickly.ā
āI see you have a lot of thoughts to share, boy. Iām not giving you an answer though.ā Narsen snorted again.
It was at this moment a dazzling streak of icy light suddenly came from the sky.\n
