âYou have no hope of entering the ultimate realm without that flame, do you?â
Qin Lie slowly returned to a corporeal state after the ultimate flame was sealed in Flaming Sun Purgatory.
He was sure that Lieyan Yuanâs key to entering the ultimate realm lay within that ultimate flame.
To lose it was to lose the foundation of oneâs breakthrough. Unless Lieyan Yuan could regain that flame, he would never be able to surpass his current level.
Moreover, Flaming Sun Purgatory was Qin Lieâs creation. He had sent the Flame Devil Kingâs life crystal, the Galaxy Mirror, and the fire spirit all into Flaming Sun Purgatory to keep the ultimate flame under control.
Two of the most powerful Divine Grade artifacts and the most mysterious lifeform in the universe, the fire spirit, should be enough to hold that flame in Flaming Sun Purgatory permanently.
All that was left to do now was killing Lieyan Yuan with his physical body.
âI will create another ultimate flame even if the universe itself collapses, and fire were to disappear from the world forever!â
Lieyan Yuan roared on top of his lungs as spatial rifts appeared all around him.
âWhoosh whoosh whoosh!â
He breathed deeply as his bloodline boiled up again.
Every time he breathed, his body burned brighter with fire. It was as if he had become the heart of fire itself, pulling fire toward him from every corner of the universe.
Countless realms with the power of fire in them started crumbling throughout the universe even faster than before.
Qin Lie could feel the flames being pulled into the chaotic streams of space by Lieyan Yuanâs power.
Lieyan Yuan was going to use the same method to create another ultimate flame!
It wasnât just because he couldnât be able to achieve a breakthrough without it. He knew Qin Lie would kill him unless he had another ultimate flame.\nOf course, he was aware what this would do to the universeâs reserves of fire energy.
He knew he was causing even more realms to collapse.
But the consequences didnât matter to him in the slightest!
âStop it. Youâve committed enough sins already.â Qin Lie snorted coldly.Â
âLike I care about that,â Lieyan Yuan said while laughing savagely. âI donât care if the universe itself dies, and trillions of races vanish because of my breakthrough!â
âThe world has meaning because I am alive!â
âIf I must die, then Iâm bringing the universe down with me!â
Burning hot light flew out of the chaotic streams of space and gathered around Lieyan Yuan once more.
âPeople like you will always be a hidden threat to the universe.â Qin Lie let out a dejected sigh.
An idea entered his mind, and blood as pure as crystals flew out of his palm.
Dark wisps of light flew out of Qin Lieâs pupils and entered the blood.
The blood beads were the essences of Qin Lieâs blood, and the dark wisps of light, his soul.
The beads grew bigger until they transformed into copies of Qin Lie.
The copies all had flesh, blood, and soul.
They might only be as big as a human, but they numbered by the dozens.
The Qin Lies scattered around Lieyan Yuan like sharks.
âBloodline Splinter!â
Dozens of Qin Lie shouted in unison, and their bloodline auras suddenly became completely different.
One Qin Lie transformed into a high rank Abyss Devil, another started glowing with the aura of Profound Ice Family member. There was also a Qin Lie with the wings of a Winged Race clansman, and another one who was made of bones only just like a Bone Race clansman.
It was as if dozens of rank ten bloodline warriors had appeared out of nowhere.\nTheir bodies and even their faces were completely different from before.
However, the appearance and the light in their eyes still clearly belonged to Qin Lie.
Suddenly, dozens of bloodline energies and laws of power emanated from the copies.
The divine light made of many bloodline powers condensed into thick, glowing chains before flying toward Lieyan Yuan.
Lieyan Yuanâs expression changed.
He felt like he was fighting all the universeâs experts alone.
It was as if the strongest rank ten bloodline warriors of the entire universe had fused their bloodline abilities together just to deal with him.
Even the five God Race familiesâ bloodline abilities were mixed within it. The Blaze Family bloodline was no exception.
He felt like something was holding him back.
In that moment, he felt like the universe itself had become his enemy.
Qin Lie alone made him feel like he was fighting all the strongest experts of the entire universe!
The shackles made of countless bloodline powers abruptly slapped onto his body.
He had no choice but to use a portion of his power to resist the godly chains.
However, this meant he couldnât focus all his attention to create the second ultimate flame.
The streams of fire gathering at the chaotic streams of space looked weak.
The speed at which he gathered the ultimate flame dropped drastically.
âItâs time to end this.â
Qin Lie stared at Lieyan Yuanâs distorted face and said softly, âThis is as far as you go. If you were smart enough to wait just a bit longer like Tian Qi, you might actually have a real shot at entering the ultimate realm. What a shame.â
âDonât speak to me about that coward!â Lieyan Yuan shouted madly.
Qin Lie shook his head and chuckled.
âCome out.â\nThe Soul Suppressing Orb hidden in Qin Lieâs glabella slowly broke through his skin and appeared.
The Soul Suppressing Orb quietly stared at Lieyan Yuan like a third eye.
Surprisingly, the berserk Lieyan Yuan actually calmed down after seeing Qin Lieâs âthird eyeâ.
In that moment, he felt like the Imperial Soul Monarch himself was staring at him. It was an indescribably strange feeling.
He finally believed that Tian Qiâs speculation was true, that Qin Lie really was the reborn Imperial Soul Monarch!
âItâs you!â Lieyan Yuan shouted.
Qin Lie sensed clearly that the missing part of his soul was inside the Soul Suppressing Orb.
The Soul Suppressing Orb suddenly flew away from his glabella.
It was as if time and space itself had become frozen. The only thing that was moving was the Soul Suppressing Orb.
Lieyan Yuan tried to resist this power, but it felt like this corner of the universe had suddenly gained a master.
It was just like when Ling Yushi had merged with the Geocentric Motherlode.
âHeâs the Creator no matter where he goes,â Lieyan Yuan exclaimed in realization.
The Soul Suppressing Orb entered Lieyan Yuanâs brain through his eye.
The light in his eye abruptly turned dim.
The fire energy gathering inside the chaotic streams of space suddenly returned to where it had come from.
Lieyan Yuanâs era was over, just like that.\n
