Spirit Realm Chapter 721-725

Chapter 721: Snatching Food

“Boom boom boom!”

Dull explosions accompanied by shocking noise and energy erupted from inside the colorful clouds. Flames, rocks, icicles and metal were constantly flying out of the clouds.

There were a lot of flying spirit artifacts, flying carriages, war chariots, and spirit birds that were flying about seemingly in search of something.

On the mountains’ surface, there were places constantly exploding. Some of the mountains straight up exploded after a falling foreign object from the sky crushed them.

“It’s the flag of Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor!”

When they got closer to the groups, Qin Lie concentrated and discovered that the flags on the big flying spirit artifacts hovering in midair obviously belonged to the Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor.

What surprised him even more was the fact that Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor were arguing so heatedly that they looked like they would break out in war at any moment.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos interrupted the scene at this precise moment and charged towards the mountain ranges on the ground abruptly.

The Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners were still yelling angrily and threatening each other loudly in a stalemate when this happened.

When they saw the six unusual lights flying towards them, the martial practitioners on both sides changed their expressions slightly and began roaring at each other.

Before Qin Lie’s crystalline war chariot could enter this land for real, the Martial Heaven Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners suddenly couldn’t restrain themselves any longer.

A fierce battle was instantly drawn between the two parties.

“What’s going on?” Lin Liang’er opened her eyes and stared at the battle zone far away while standing. “What are those people fighting for?”

Qin Lie was also confused by this, so he shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

While they were chatting with each other, the crystalline war chariot continued to streak swiftly across the sky.

Behind the six Spirits of Void and Chaos, the crystalline war chariot also flew head first into the combat zone and arrived at a point beneath the dark red sky.

An incredibly oppressive aura was emanating from the dark red sky. When he paid attention to it, he noticed that spatial rifts were appearing and closing non stop inside those exploding clouds.

Through the tiny spatial rifts, he could look into the space outside and see terrifying changes outside the realm. He could see giant rocks being hurled around and black dots of ink wriggling through them. A terrifying destructive presence capable of eradicating all life emanated from the them. On the other side he could see colorful wind currents wrapping around giant gray brown rocks, swiftly grinding each and every one of them to dust.

A giant, gray colored rock exploded, and a crystal about the size of a thumb appeared from the scattering pieces of rock.

The tiny crystal was bright red and translucent. It looked like a blood red cornelian that was sparkling with bewitching luster.

The crystal shot out of the spatial rift abruptly.

“Starfire Crystal! A Heaven Grade six spirit material!” A Heaven Martial Association elder riding on top of a Fire Crow King exclaimed involuntarily with shiny eyes.

“Snatch it!” a big man of Jewel Flame Manor with dark red flame patterns tattooed above his neck shouted from above a flying carriage.

Both the fighting martial practitioners of Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor responded to the call and got close to that falling crystal.

The tiny blood red crystals dragged tiny tails of fire behind them when they fell from the sky, dazzling like fiery red silk or sparks of a falling meteor.

Qin Lie was attracted by it.

Even though he took no action, his blood gave off a strong reaction.

He immediately understood that the tiny crystal would have an effect on his bloodline power.

He was drawn to the crystal.

But before he could do anything about it, a familiar beam of fiery light took on solid form and popped into existence.

The tiny fire attribute Spirit of Void and Chaos in the shape of a pocket-sized Fire Qilin abruptly pounced onto the crystal, clutched it tightly and swallowed it into its stomach.

The second the crystal entered its stomach, the Fire Qilin’s flames swiftly transformed into vague virtual form before it continued to fall towards the mountain range below as a beam of fiery light.

“What the hell is that thing?!”

The martial practitioners of both Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor shouted in irritation when they saw that the Starfire Crystal was snatched away by a foreign entity.

Those people on their bizarre array of small flying spirit artifacts locked onto the fire spirit of Void and Chaos and charged towards the mountain range. The wanted to reclaim the Starfire Crystal that had been taken away by the little qilin.

Qin Lie’s attention was also focused onto the fire attribute spirit of Void and Chaos.

He noticed that the palm-sized Fire Qilin had vanished into one of the many giant holes on the mountain ranges after it had taken on a spirit form.

The martial practitioners on the sky kept chasing after it.

On the other side, he noticed that the rest of the Spirits of Void and Chaos were scattered at different locations of the mountain ranges. Some of them were waiting in front of the spatial rifts as if they were waiting for that one moment when a precious crystal would appear.

“Boom!”

A giant blue rock escaped a spatial rift and rammed into the tip of a mountain peak below.

The giant rock was a white, jade-like water crystal in the appearance of a teardrop suddenly flew out of the rock.

The water Spirit of Void and Chaos flew over from a faraway distance and swallowed it in one gulp.

Extreme joy rose from the depths of its soul, and it was so clear that Qin Lie could sense it even from so far away.

Qin Lie continued to observe them for a little while.

He discovered that the spatial rifts would occasionally be torn open, followed by the bizarre explosions in the sky, and that all kinds of strange rocks would explode in the outer space, sending debris through the spatial rifts.

Out of dozens of these rocks, one would contain a special crystal.

The reason the six Spirits of Void and Chaos had travelled here from from hundreds of kilometers away was to obtain these crystals.

Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor were also gathered here for the same reason.

However, their perceptions were obviously worse when compared to the six Spirits of Void and Chaos. They didn’t know which giant rock would contain an extraordinary crystal.

The Spirits of Void and Chaos could detect them clearly though.

They would always lock onto a particular target and wait at the right position even before the giant rocks exploded.

They knew which rock would contain the objects they wanted before they even exploded, so they were always able to get a headstart on Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor and snatch the spirit crystals they greatly desired. Then, they immediately swallowed the crystals.

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos grew more and more excited as their circulated their natural talents with practiced motions and alternated between real and virtual form swiftly.

Every time a bizarre crystal that contained one of the six attribute energies they desired had emerged from the spatial rifts, a spirit of Void and Chaos would appear in time to grab it.

The martial practitioners of Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor slowly figured out the truth after losing the crystals to the Spirits of Void and Chaos again and again.

“Follow those six things! They can lock onto a target ahead of us!” The Heaven Martial Association elder riding atop the Fire Crow King ordered.

The person in charge in Jewel Flame Manor also ordered loudly.

The martial practitioners of both parties put down everything and flew around while keeping a tight watch on the six Spirits of Void and Chaos.

Another giant rock exploded.

A light of excitement appeared in Lin Liang’er’s eyes. “What a pure ice attribute crystal!”

A block of bone-chilling ice the size of a walnut appeared from the exploded rock.

Qin Lie cultivated the Frost Arts, so he could sense the aura of absolute frost inside that crystal even though he was hundreds of meters away from it.

“I may not know what that crystal is called, but I know that it’ll aid me greatly in my cultivation!” Lin Liang’er grew excited and actually charged towards the frost crystal before Qin Lie could say anything.

The frost attribute crystal was obviously of no value to the six Spirits of Void and Chaos.

None of them were of the frost attribute after all.

“Another snatcher has shown up!” The Heaven Martial Association elder on top of the Fire Crow King tossed out a burning red flag with a darkened expression when he saw Lin Liang’er charging towards their direction.

The flag was engraved with a group of life-like fire crows, and it transformed into a sea of flames that barred Lin Liang’er’s path like a wall of fire.

The fire crows on the flag squirmed as if they would fly out at any moment.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The fire crows on the flag suddenly sprayed out fiery light that engulfed Lin Liang’er in an instant.

“Foolish cur!” the elder above riding the Fire Crow King snortd coldly.

Qin Lie shook his head and revealed a calm smile. He knew that Lin Liang’er wouldn’t be taken out this easily.

That Heaven Martial Association elder was only at the later stage of the Fulfillment Realm, and that Rank Six Fire Crow King didn’t possess exceptional combat strength either. Even while in human form, there was no way in hell the Ice Phoenix would be burned to death by their flames.

“Frost Wings!”

Cold icicles came into existence from behind Lin Liang’er as they transformed into ice wings that contained the power of frost.

Lin Liang’er in her human form flapped her ice, crystalline wings lithely and flew out of the flames without hurry.

“Absolute Frost Storm!”

With a flap of her wings, cold icicles fired themselves at the Heaven Martial Association elder atop the Fire Crow King like arrows.

The Fire Crow King instinctively sensed great danger and hastily dodged out of the way, howling.

The flag with many fire crows sewn on it transformed into a single burning crow that protected the Fire Crow King’s back.

“Bang!”

Fire and ice collided with each other, several icicles coming out on top and breaking through the seal, charging after the Fire Crow King relentlessly.

The Fire Crow King and the Heaven Martial Association elder screamed as they retreated to the main group of Heaven Martial Association martial practitioners quite tragically.

Multiple spirit artifacts soared into the sky enveloped in prismatic spirit energies as they clashed against the frost icicles and aided the elder in escaping his predicament.

Lin Liang’er twisted her figure once as new wings of ice condensed behind her back. She cast a disdainful glance at the Heaven Martial Association martial practitioners before she flapped her wings again and chased after the crystal of absolute frost falling towards the mountain range.

Qin Lie rubbed his chin and looked on with the cool eye of a bystander. He had no intentions of interfering with this fight.

He had already noticed that neither Heaven Martial Association nor Jewel Flame Manor had high level martial practitioners in this area.

The strongest experts on both sides were only at the late stage of the Fulfillment Realm, and none of them were able to take flight with their own strength.

This meant that none of them were in the Fragmentation Realm.

If they were not in the Fragmentation Realm, then they practically posed no threat to him.

Chapter 722: The Outer Realm Will

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos swam up and down, plundering the strange crystals that appeared from the spatial rifts from everywhere in wild joy.

After Lin Liang’er had successfully scared the Heaven Martial Association elder away, she too successfully obtained the absolute frost crystal she sought for as the light of joy twinkled in her ice-cold eyes.

The moment she came over, the Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners chasing after the six Spirits of Void and Chaos immediately grew cautious.

The strongest martial practitioners they possessed were only at the late stage of the Fulfillment Realm. They wouldn’t be able to control Lin Liang’er even if they possessed great numbers.

Qin Lie continued to observe the situation for a little while.

He noticed that those people seemed powerless even when they were trying to deal with the Spirits of Void and Chaos.

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos were alternating constantly between tangible and intangible forms while travelling at tremendous speed.

The big flying spirit artifacts might be fast enough to keep up with the Spirits of Void and Chaos, but they weren’t agile enough to move about freely in the valleys of the mountain range.

The small flying spirit artifacts were more agile, but those, however, lacked speed.

Without a Fragmentation Realm martial practitioner who could travel freely in the sky, they couldn’t really pose as a real obstacle to the Spirits of Void and Chaos.

Qin Lie was going to aid the Spirits of Void and Chaos, but when he saw that neither the Ice Phoenix Lin Liang’er nor the six little fellows needed his help to fight against the two groups of martial practitioners, he decided to refrain from interfering.

He slowly drove his crystalline war chariot closer to the site.

“Who are you, kid?” a martial practitioner from Jewel Flame Manor shouted.

“I’m just passing by and having a look, that’s all.” Qin Lie smiled calmly before he swept past them suddenly at great speed. He arrived at the sky where several spatial rifts were obviously gaping and closing.

The Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners who wanted to stop him hastily stopped themselves with slightly changed expressions when they noticed that he was charging towards the spatial rifts.

The place where Qin Lie was at right now would occasionally be visited by exploding rock bits, giant rocks and sudden spatial rifts.

Both forces have had their big flying spirit artifacts shattered and dozens of men killed at that location before.

That was why none of them dared to court death by flying over there themselves.

“Crackle!”

A giant rock exploded, and a stone the size of a human head rolled out of a spatial rift.

Qin Lie hastily adjusted the direction the crystalline war chariot was heading in.

The war chariot swam left and right like a fish in a sea as he agilely slipped past that flying rock.

He got closer and closer to the spatial rifts.

A violent, twisting energy slipped out of a cross-shaped spatial rift, causing Qin Lie to instinctively sense danger. He hastily moved far, far out of the way.

A giant rock that had been enveloped by the gray streams of wind exploded as crackling noises resounded from inside the rift.

“Boom!”

The gray streams exploded exploded and sent rocks flying all over the place. The terrifying shock wave caused the cross-shaped spatial rift to be enlarged massively, turning it into a huge dark mouth threatening to swallow the whole world.

While driving the crystalline war chariot away in a sudden burst, Qin Lie created a wisp of lightning consciousness and attempted to probe around the cross-shaped spatial rift.

Suddenly, a tiny and almost indiscernible consciousness was transmitted intermittently from the cross-shaped spatial rift.

Qin Lie didn’t understand why, but he was terrified of that terribly weak consciousness for some reason.

“Swoosh!”

The Soul Suppressing Orb hidden beneath his glabella suddenly broke out of his skin and glowed with dark, dim light.

The light transformed into a passage that seemed wanting to withdraw the lightning consciousness Qin Lie had just released earlier.

At the same time, the lightning consciousness Qin Lie had sent into the cross-shaped spatial rift was suddenly clutched by an invisible hand.

An eerie, cold will expanded swiftly and grew stronger and stronger!

The will seemed to come from a mysterious place outside of Spirit Realm, and it had locked onto his location accurately through his soul.

A will of absolute evil seemed to be racing towards his direction from the depths of the outer realm.

“Crackle!”

The cross-shaped spatial rift starting expanding at a visible rate.

Qin Lie’s soul was practically a bright light in the dark to that evil will behind that spatial rift. Qin Lie lit up a path that led him straight towards Spirit Realm.

The evil will locked onto Qin Lie’s soul firmly!

Qin Lie turned pale in terror.

Without thinking, he withdrew his consciousness immediately, and saw the dark light discharged by the Soul Suppressing Orb wrapping around his soul and pulling it back in an instant.

The wisp of soul consciousness returned to his head.

Then, a terrible sense of fear spread throughout his soul and caused him to feel chills all over his body.

He watched as the cross-shaped spatial rift grew bigger and bigger like the torn hole of a bag.

Inside the void, he could see countless giant rocks that were extremely far away from him suddenly explode into smithereens.

It was as if a terrifying existence was swiftly paving its way to where he was.

Every giant rock that was in its way was instantly crushed into bits.

“Come back! Come back now if you don’t want to die!”

He retreated immediately on his crystalline war chariot and sent a message to the six Spirits of Void and Chaos with his soul consciousness.

As of that moment, the six Spirits of Void and Chaos were still flying up and down in search for strange crystals that could aid them in achieving a speedy evolution.

They looked dazed and hesitant for a brief moment when they heard Qin Lie’s message from the depths of their soul. In the end, they forcefully suppressed their desires and returned to him as six rays of light.

“Lin Liang’er! Let’s go! Let’s go right now!” Qin Lie shouted at the Ice Phoenix.

The Ice Phoenix was also flying everywhere in search for strange crystals of frost attribute, and she couldn’t help but frown when she heard his calls. “What’s wrong? These humans can’t threaten me, so I can collect all these frost attribute crystals without worry. I’m telling you, these crystals are even more outstanding than the ones beneath Frost Island!”

“Stay here then, if you want to die that is.” Qin Lie snorted coldly and started wildly pouring spirit energy into the crystalline war chariot.

The crystalline war chariot beneath him began flying towards the direction of Moon Worshipping Valley at top speed.

Lin Liang’er’s expression finally changed.

She had interacted with Qin Lie for some time, and she knew that Qin Lie was absolutely not a cowardly or careless person.

Qin Lie’s sudden and abnormal reaction struck worry in her heart, and she finally noticed that a terrifying danger would soon befall them.

“I’m coming over right now!” She quickly reacted and flew towards Qin Lie at top speed.

“The lot of you had best evacuate as far away as you can! Also, notify the Terminator Sect that a terrible thing is about to descend onto Spirit Realm right away. Tell them to send their experts over immediately!” Qin Lie threw behind these words in extreme seriousness when his crystalline war chariot passed by the Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners. Then, he met up with Lin Liang’er and flew away without ever looking back.

The Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners simply gave him odd looks. It was obvious that none of them paid his advice any attention at all.

“What is that thing you mentioned?” Lin Liang’er hastily asked.

“I haven’t seen it. I only felt an eerie, cold, and terrifying will that stifled my breath,” Qin Lie said solemnly.

Lin Liang’er turned slightly pale. “How powerful is it?”

“It’s stronger than the three guys who tried to kill you at the Ruined Lands combined! That presence also had an indescribable scent to it. I dare say that that thing that’s coming over right now isn’t a human being!” Qin Lie said seriously.

Lin Liang’er was shocked.

Ignoring everything that was happening behind his back, Qin Lie pushed the crystalline war chariot to top speed and flew all the way back to Moon Worshipping Valley.

“Everyone, follow me to Moon Worshipping City right now!” Qin Lie exclaimed from inside the crystalline war chariot.

He didn’t lower his crystalline war chariot to the ground and simply stopped it in midair. This time, Lin Liang’er didn’t separate her soul from her body to slip into the Soul Suppressing Orb. She simply stood beside Qin Lie.

Inside the valley, Yue Ji, Shui Ji, Ye Ji and many other women noticed Lin Liang’er immediately the moment they looked up. They actually missed the anxiety in his tone because of it.

“D-did your wife come back to life?” Shui Ji covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Every Moon Worshipping Valley female looked surprised and pleased. They were all staring at Lin Liang’er with a look of astonishment.

“Wife…” Lin Liang’er looked startled.

“A terrible change had befallen Prism Continent. An evil race from the outer space is descending unto this place, and we must notify Terminator Sect immediately. If you wish to live then let us move right now!” Qin Lie said heavily.

“Ah!” Yue Ji and the others finally regained their wits.

Chapter 723: Alarmist Talk?

Yue Ji and the others had relatively strong trust in Qin Lie, so they immediately began acting upon hearing his words.

The women of Moon Worshipping Valley swiftly gathered in one place.

Setting aside even their curiosity at Lin Liang’er’s “reviva”‘ right now, they hastily brought out all the important materials inside the valley, got on a large war chariot and sped towards Moonstone City along with Qin Lie and Lin Liang’er.

“What in Spirit Realm is going on?” Yue Ji couldn’t help but ask along the way.

Qin Lie made a brief explanation about the abnormal incident that had transpired at the center of Prism Continent just now. He told her about the countless spatial rifts.

“You’re saying that you sensed a terrible, evil intent from one of the spatial rifts.” Yue Ji’s expression was serious.

“It should be an evil being that roamed the outer space. At first, he had neither direction nor objective as he didn’t know how to make his way over to our place. But because he was able to lock onto a wisp of my soul consciousness by accident, I became the beacon that lit his path to Spirit Realm.” Qin Lie said with a dark expression. “From the moment I sensed that evil being’s soul presence, I knew that this continent would probably be met with calamity if we allowed it to appear.”

“Is that thing really so scary?” Yue Ji was alarmed on the inside. “Could Moon Worshipping Palace, Heaven Martial Association, and Jewel Flame Manor not be able to kill him if they joined forces? Do we really have to alert Terminator Sect?”

“Is there anyone among the three great Copper rank forces of Prism Continent, including Moon Worshipping Palace, that possess a peak Imperishable Realm expert?” Qin Lie frowned.

Yue Ji shook her head. “No.”

“Then there is no one who can defeat it!” Qin Lie exclaimed.

When he said this, Yue Ji and everyone else finally turned pale as they realized what was really going to befall on the continent beneath them.

The group said nothing as they continued along their journey in great worry.

The crystalline war chariots carried the crowd on a mad charge and finally arrived at the skies of Moonstone City during midday.

In the past, even members of Moon Worshipping Palace would descend from the flying spirit artifacts instead of flying their flying spirit artifacts above Moonstone City.

But due to the severity of the crisis, both Qin Lie and Yue Ji had ignored Moonstone City’s rules and landed directly on Moon Worshipping Palace, drawing astonished gazes from a great number of martial practitioners.

Dong Wanzhai was discussing with his martial practitioners on accumulating as many spirit stones as possible so that they could purchase more Blazing Profound Bombs from Blood Fiend Sect.

Dong Wanzhai frowned slightly in displeasure when he heard the roar of crystalline war chariots.

“Palace Master, Yao Tian and Yue Ji’s group had come back together,” someone reported from outside.

“Moonstone City has its rules, and Yue Ji should’ve reminded him even if Yao Tiao knew nothing about it. Why had she allowed him to break the rules?” Liu Yan also looked displeased. “If everyone can pilot their flying spirit artifacts and fly however they wanted to on Moonstone City, then what honor do we still have? This Yue Ji isn’t seeing the bigger picture. Perhaps she had forgotten Moonstone City’s rules and even who she belongs to in order to curry favor with that Yao Tian.”

“It is time to reprimand her,” someone echoed in agreement.

Dong Wanzhai had the same idea, a dark expression on his face. He too thought that Yue Ji was acting too wantonly as of late.

It was at this moment Qin Lie and Lin Liang’er hastily made their way into the great hall of Moon Worshipping Palace under Yue Ji, Ye Ji, and Shui Ji’s guidance.

“You are?” Dong Wangzhai, Liu Yan and the others all turned pale with fright when they saw Lin Liang’er show up.

Qin Lie had attracted Moon Worshipping Palace’s attention not long after he stepped into Moonstone City. When Qin Lie began walking around Moonstone City while carrying the human body of Lin Liang’er, he had surprised many people in Moonstone City.

It was only natural that Moon Worshipping Palace was watching him in secret too.

In everyone’s opinion, Lin Liang’er was a cold, dead corpse that had been dead for quite some time already. As a result, they all thought that Qin Lie had a twisted mind.

But Lin Liang’er was obviously alive, and she was walking into the hall with cold eyes right now. The visual impact she caused had stunned all of them for a time.

“Palace Master Dong, a terrible change had happened at the center of Prism Continent. I am afraid that an evil being would soon descend on Prism Continent. I hope that you can contact Terminator Sect immediately and tell them to send over some Imperishable Realm experts to counter this threat,” Qin Lie exclaimed.

“What?” Dong Wanzhai abruptly stood up. “Are you sure, Brother Yao? Why would an evil being suddenly descend on Prism Continent? You’re not spreading alarmist talk, are you?”

Liu Yan and the others didn’t look like they believed him too.

“We haven’t noticed anything abnormal for many years since the time the Asura Race had invaded us en masse.” Liu Yan rubbed his chin and chuckled. “Have you seen this evil being with your own eyes, brother Yao?”

“No. I only felt that he was about to pass through a spatial rift,” Qin Lie said solemnly.

“Oh, so you’ve only felt its presence?” Liu Yan grew more and more unperturbed. “Feelings… are easily fooled, you know. What if your senses were wrong, and that there are no evil beings that are descending on Prism Continent? Even if there is, what if it isn’t a particularly strong enemy? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to call for an Imperishable Realm expert from Terminator Sect if that is the case?”

The martial practitioners of Moon Worshipping Palace didn’t pay Qin Lie’s warning any real attention either. They all looked calm, and they all thought that Qin Lie was mistaken or exaggerating the danger.

After all, Qin Lie was only in the Fulfillment Realm.

In their opinion, even if the terrible evil consciousness Qin Lie had sensed was real, and even if an evil being was truly descending on Prism Continent, it shouldn’t be as terrible as Qin Lie was making it out to be.

To a Fulfillment Realm martial practitioner, a peak Fragmentation Realm expert was sufficiently scary enough.

They all thought that the existence Qin Lie thought as terrifying might not necessarily be all that powerful. They thought that this enemy would be at best at the Nirvana Realm.

Although Moon Worshipping Palace, Heaven Martial Association, and Flame Jewel Manor were all Copper rank forces, they all had one or two Nirvana Realm elderly martial practitioners concealed in their midst.

They didn’t think that this incident was all that serious.

“You don’t trust me?”

Qin Lie’s face darkened when he saw that Liu Yan and the others weren’t as afraid as he thought that they should be. He felt a little impatient on the inside.

Liu Yan laughed and shrugged at Dong Wanzhai. He no longer said anything.

Meanwhile, Dong Wanzhai laughed twice and said, “Why would I not believe you, Brother Yao? I’ll send someone over to the place you mentioned and check it out for any abnormalities right now! Don’t worry, even if there really is an outer realm evil being, Heaven Martial Association, Moon Worshipping Palace, and Jewel Flame Palace absolutely possess the power to suppress it!”

“If we were to summon a Terminator Sect Imperishable Realm expert over a small matter, they would be displeased and put the blame on us,” a short Moon Worshipping Palace martial practitioner said with a laugh.

Qin Lie looked at them.

He knew that these people were not in the least concerned about the incident, and that they hadn’t realized just how serious it was from their expressions.

He pondered for a moment and nodded. “I would like to send a letter back to Blood Fiend Sect. Please help me with this, Palace Master Dong.”

He had written a letter on the way to Moon Worshipping Palace which detailed all the abnormalities he had perceived at the center of Prism Continent.

With his status on the Setting Sun Islands and Hong Bowen’s knowledge and experience, he believed that his people would make the necessary preparations accordingly.

“When do you need it delivered?” Dong Wanzhai smiled faintly. “We’re preparing the spirit stones and are hoping to buy more Blazing Profound Bombs from Blood Fiend Sect in the next two days. Can this wait until then?”

“It is very urgent!” Qin Lie said solemnly.

Dong Wanzhai was caught off guard for a second before he said, “Alright. Yue Ji, please lead Mrother Yao to the teleportation formation.”

“Palace Master! Yao Tian is not one to speak without thinking! If he says that an evil being has descended on Prism Continent, then it must be true. I beg you to take this seriously, Palace Master!” Yue Ji said urgently.

“I got it, of course I would keep it in mind. Take Brother Yao over to the formation, will you?” Dong Wanzhai waved his hand and urged impatiently.

Yue Ji sighed, knowing that Dong Wanzhai obviously didn’t realize just how serious the situation was.

“I’m going.” She agreed in a soft voice and led Qin Lie to the private room where the item teleportation formation was.

Qin Lie left without a word.

“I suppose that Yue Ji and those women haven’t been handled by a man for too long. I can’t believe they brought everyone from Moon Worshipping Valley over just because of Yao Tian’s exaggerated words,” Liu Yan shook his head and ridiculed after Qin Lie and Yue Ji had left. “Women are women. They become stupid really easily once they get laid.”

“Make some arrangements and send those nearby to check out the location Yao Tian had spoken of. It is true that this part of Heaven Martial Association’s territory is a little strange,” Dong Wanzhai instructed.

“Mn. I shall contact Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor. They would probably notify us if an outer space being really had invaded Prism Continent.” Liu Yan nodded.

“That is all.” Dong Wanzhai announced the end of the meeting.

Inside the private room where the item teleportation formation was.

Qin Lie calmed down a little after seeing his letter vanishing from the formation in a flash of white light.

“We will be leaving Prism Continent immediately.” After pondering for a moment, he looked at Yue Ji, Ye Ji, and Shui Ji and said sincerely, “In my opinion, there is no way Heaven Martial Association, Jewel Flame Manor, and Moon Worshipping Palace could pose any threat to that thing that’s descending onto Prism Continent. If that thing starts murdering everything in sight, it will take at most three to five days before Prism Continent’s soil is covered in blood. Heaven Martial Association, Jewel Flame Manor, and Moon Worshipping Palace may vanish as well.”

Yue Ji, Ye Ji, and Shui Ji looked pale.

“It’s obvious that your palace master think that I’m spreading alarmist talk. He is treating the matter with indifference,” Qin Lie said indifferently. “I’ve said all that needed to be said. It’s their problem if they don’t believe me. “

“Is that thing really going to commit mass murder?” Yue Ji trembled.

Qin Lie nodded. “I could sense deep-seated hatred from that will. I know that it will commit slaughter to vent its emotions the second it comes over.”

“You’re leaving now?” Yue Ji said anxiously.

“Mn. Every second we waste here brings bigger danger to our own well being. Plus, it is not like I have the obligation to advise Palace Master Dong repeatedly until he listens.” Qin Lie walked towards outside. “If you wish to be safe, I will advise you to leave this place as soon as possible. As for the things you promised me earlier… we’ll talk about it once you’ve survived this crisis.”

The moment he walked out of the private room, he climbed back on his crystalline war chariot and soared no sky, disregarding Moonstone City’s rules.

Yue Ji, Shui Ji, and Ye Ji could see the weight and terrible anxiety in one another’s eyes. However, they couldn’t discard everything and leave just like that.

They belonged to Moon Worshipping Palace, and they were responsible for offering sacrifices to the moon. There was no way they would be allowed to leave Prism Continent without a good reason.

“If we cannot leave, then let us arrange for our families to leave at least.” Yue Ji sighed.

Chapter 724: Calamity

The Setting Sun Islands.

“Elder Hong, there is a letter from Moonstone City,” A Blood Fiend Sect disciple immediately delivered the letter after receiving it from the item teleportation formation.

Hong Bowen’s face suddenly turned pale after he gave it a hurried glance.

Without another word, he transformed into a ray of bloody light and went to see Mo Lingye immediately.

A dozen or so seconds later, he appeared at the private room where Mo Lingye used to cultivate in silence and passed over the letter with heavy feelings. “It’s written by Qin Lie.”

Mo Lingye looked surprised. She accepted the letter and read through it carefully with a frown.

Mo Lingye was normally calm in face of most situations, but this time her expression changed quickly as she exclaimed in shock, “If what Qin Lie says is correct, the presence he detected from the spatial rift may be scarier than even Jiang Zhuzhe!”

“Qin Lie probably sent us this letter because he was hoping that we can notify Terminator Sect to make preparations as soon as possible,” Hong Bowen guessed.

Mo Lingye nodded slightly and thought for a moment. Then, she instructed, “Elder Hong, please inform Terminator Sect’s Lei Yan of this situation. Also, please send someone to the Scarlet Tide Continent’s ultimate blood ground and tell Xue Li that it would be best if he returned.”

“Do we need to alert Brother Xue of this?” Hong Bowen looked astonished.

Prism Continent was a continent within Terminator Sect’s area of influence, and it was pretty far away from the Setting Sun Islands. Qin Lie had probably delivered this message only to have Blood Fiend Sect notify Terminator Sect about this.

Blood Fiend Sect couldn’t possibly be affected by this situation, could it?

Jiang Zhuzhe’s savagery and dominance at the Setting Sun Islands earlier had caused every Blood Fiend Sect martial practitioner to be filled with anxiety and fear.

Xue Li himself noticed that the situation was bad despite gaining the Blood Progenitor’s body for himself. It was why he had went back to the ultimate blood ground and had been doing his best to fuse with the Blood Progenitor.

At his current rate, Xue Li was probably still a long way away from fusing completely with the Blood Progenitor’s body since only a year had passed.

In Hong Bowen’s opinion, summoning Xue Li back to the Land of Chaos for this might be overdoing it.

“The direction Qin Lie mentioned reminded me about something. It’s a little complicated to explain, and there are certain… things that you aren’t aware of.” Mo Lingye looked terribly worried. “If an evil being really does appear from that spatial rift, I fear that we won’t be facing just one or two of them. I suspect that an entire community may come out.”

“A community?!” Hong Bowen was shocked.

Mo Lingye sighed. “I hope that my guess is off, else the Land of Chaos will be embroiled in war once more.”

“What would happen if it was as you imagine it to be?” Hong Bowen said anxiously.

“It may be similar to the time the Asura Race had invaded our lands,” Mo Lingye said bitterly.

“I will inform Lei Yan and Brother Xue right now!” Hong Bowen exclaimed softly before asking, “What about Illusory Demon Sect?”

“I will head there and meet them myself,” Mo Lingye stood up.

Hong Bowen’s expression grew heavier and heavier.

……

At the center of Prism Continent.

The Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners were still flying around and collecting the strange crystals that were flying out of the spatial rifts from time to time.

The elder riding on the Fire Crow King and the big man from Jewel Flame Manor paid no heed to Qin Lie’s warning.

They even thought that Qin Lie was trying to trick them so that they would evacuate this place and enable him to collect all the crystals that appeared from these shattered rocks for himself.

Naturally, there was no way they were contacting the Terminator Sect because of this.

The crystalline war chariots continued to operate around the area. Both sects gradually formed a tacit understanding with each other as they took up a spot each and collected only the crystals in their area.

Both sects remained safe and didn’t clash with each other.

“Elder, that kid said that a terrifying existence is descending to this place. He told us to leave as far away as we possibly can, and to inform the Terminator Sect about this. Don’t you think that…” a Netherpassage Realm martial practitioner from Heaven Martial Association asked.

The elder riding on the Fire Crow King let out a snort and said disdainfully, “This is the Prism Continent and the domain of Terminator Sect!”

Right now, Terminator Sect was called the strongest power in the Land of Chaos. Not even the surrounding forces such as Illusory Demon Sect and Black Voodoo Cult dared to act wantonly before Terminator Sect.

As a result, Terminator Sect’s vassal forces were pretty proud of themselves. They didn’t believe that there existed anyone who would dare to provoke them of their own accord.

“That’s true. As long as the Forefather remains healthy, there is no one blind enough to act wantonly in Terminator Sect’s domain.”

“Stop wasting time and focus on gathering the crystals!”

“Got it!”

The martial practitioners of Heaven Martial Association and Flame Jewel Manor continued to work calmly after Qin Lie’s escape-like departure.

None of them paid Qin Lie’s warning any serious attention.

The cross-shaped spatial rift slowly grew wider and wider.

Giant rocks shattered again and again inside the spatial rift as shiny crystals dropped out unendingly.

More and more Heaven Martial Association martial practitioners were gathered around that area, and even the elder on his Fire Crow King had come closer.

Suddenly, a sharp howl that could burst one’s eardrums resounded from the spatial rift. It grew sharper the closer the source approached towards them.

The howl churning with earthshaking hatred was like a blade that stabbed and twisted itself inside their brains.

The elder above the Fire Crow King shuddered abruptly when he heard the howl. Two lines of blood flowed down the corners of his mouth involuntarily.

Terrible fear finally appeared inside his eyes.

He turned around and looked at his subordinates, but he suddenly realized that they were dead, having bled out from all seven orifices already.

The elder screamed and slapped the Fire Crow King fiercely. “Leave! Leave now!”

On the other side, Jewel Flame Manor’s martial practitioners had also heard the abnormality. Some of them were bleeding out of their nose, eyes, or suffered great damage to their heart and soul.

“What’s going on?” the big man of Jewel Flame Manor said anxiously.

“Something’s about to come out!” The elder on the Fire Crow King looked absolutely terrified.

The moment he said this, all Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners also started to panic as they hastily got ready to evacuate.

The screech resounded once more!

The sound waves spilled out of the spatial rift and penetrated their heads like cold blades.

Many people clutched their ears in pain, but blood still flowed out from between their fingers.

Flying spirit artifacts went out of control and fell from the sky suddenly. They crashed and shattered into many pieces.

The Flame Crow King elder and Jewel Flame Manor’s big man ran away in panic.

“Swoosh!”

A gray figure appeared from the spatial rift along with an exploding giant rock.

The gray shadow was like a ghost that flew in twists and bends in midair. Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners exploded into clumps of flesh and blood everywhere he went.

Even the two leaders of the group who had escaped far, far away were caught by the gray shadow. Without being able to resist, they too exploded into clumps of flesh and blood.

In just a dozen or so seconds, nearly one hundred Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners operating in this area were all killed by the gray shadow.

“Woosh!”

The gray shadow slowly took on a physical form at the highest point of the tallest mountain.

It was a skinny, bony and ancient-looking outsider who was less than one and a half meters tall, had dark green twin pupils and a long tongue that hung beneath its chin.

The old man was completely naked, and it was so thin that it looked like a skeleton. The scent of death surrounded his entire body. His sunken eye sockets of four dark green eyes gleamed with an intimidating, icy luster that made him look absolutely terrifying and eerie.

“Crack! Crack!”

The old outsider happily chewed on a bloody arm like he was eating brittle bones.

His snake-like tongue slithered around eerily while he was eating the arm.

He consumed the entire stump in no time at all.

Without bothering to wipe the blood traces on his mouth, he appeared beside another corpse and pulled off both arms, feeding on it heartily just like before.

The gray shadow moved around constantly and pulled off all the arms of the recently deceased Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor martial practitioners. He chewed heartily into the flesh and blood.

He looked like he was starved for far, far too long.

He did nothing but eat for two hours straight—feeding on human flesh.

His shriveled body finally regained some colors and luster after a few hours of frenzied feeding.

“This isn’t enough, this is far from enough.” He complained impatiently as he continued to eat without pause.

A very, very long time later, shrill howls resounded from the spatial rift above his head.

Intermittent replies resounded from a far, faraway place behind the spatial rift.

Half a day later, more gray shadows flew out of the spatial rift.

These people were all as thin as bones when they took on physical form. They looked like they hadn’t eaten anything for tens of thousands of years.

“Let us eat.” The old man who arrived first swung his long tongue once like a whip as he looked at his people.

The newcomers immediately cheered in excitement and spread out to all directions.

Chapter 725: Chaos

Terminator Sect.

Lei Yan was holding a letter and carefully reading through its contents. He frowned. “Evil beings are supposed to invade Prism Continent, but Blood Fiend Sect is the one sending the news. Strange…”

He summoned a few Terminator Sect elders and passed them the letter.

“Senior Brother has been in seclusion for the past half a year, so I would prefer not to disturb him with trivial matters. What do you think of this?” Lei Yan asked.

“Have Prism Continent’s Moon Worshipping Palace, Heaven Martial Association, and Jewel Flame Manor delivered any news?” Elder Chen Kui said with a serious expression on his face.

“No, nothing from them yet,” Lei Yan shook his head.

“Then let us send someone over to confirm that there is an invasion before we decide our next step,” Shen Kui said.

Everyone including Lei Yan nodded inwardly as they found Shen Kui’s suggestion rather in line with their own thoughts.

Shen Kui was the oldest elder in Terminator Sect. He was a famous older generation expert in Terminator Sect back when Nan Zhengtian and Lei Yan first joined Terminator Sect.

Unfortunately, he accidentally experienced fiendish rebound when he was ascending to the Imperishable Realm that resulted in his cultivation declining instead.

To this day, Shen Kui remained stuck at the peak of the Nirvana Realm even though both Nan Zhengtian and Lei Yan had successfully constructed their own Soul Altars and officially stepped into the Imperishable Realm.

It was rumored that it would be very hard for Shen Kui to ever reach a breakthrough.

Perhaps this was exactly the reason why Shen Kui had given up on cultivating single-mindedly in recent years and focused his energy on Terminator Sect instead.

It was true that Terminator Sect was able to accumulate great strength and carve their way to where they were right now because Forefather Terminator’s individual strength was rivaled by no one. But it was also thanks to Shen Kui doing all he could to pave the path towards the future for Terminator Sect.

It was why Shen Kui was extremely respected in Terminator Sect.

“That Blood Fiend Sect kid should’ve arrived a year ago. Who knows what he’s been up to suddenly showing up on Prism Continent, ” Lei Yan mumbled.

Shen Kui looked astonished, “Was it that Qin Lie kid who had sent the message to Blood Fiend Sect from Prism Continent? Is he at Prism Continent right now?”

“Mn, Hong Bowen said that his source was Qin Lie,” Lei Yan answered.

Shen Kui’s expression changed slightly as he pondered for a moment. Then, he said, “Lei Yan, you should head over there in person!”

Lei Yan was dumbfounded.

“Nothing must befall that kid. If an evil race truly has invaded Prism Continent, you must ensure his safety!” Shen Kui said seriously.

“Is he really that important?” Lei Yan looked skeptical.

There were a lot of practitioners in Terminator Sect who couldn’t care less about Qin Lie too. They all thought that Shen Kui valued Qin Lie too greatly to the point of exaggeration.

“He may be the key to your senior brother’s breakthrough to the Void Realm. Nothing must befall him!” Shen Kui exclaimed.

Of course, Lei Yan’s senior brother was the sect master of Terminator Sect, Forefather Terminator Nan Zhengtian.

“Him? A small Fulfillment Realm martial practitioner? What could he do to help my senior brother?” Lei Yan’s expression was odd.

“You won’t understand even if I told you about it.” Shen Kui shot Lei Yan a glare before saying impatiently, “Just go already!”

“Alright, alright.” Lei Yan went out to make his preparations with a dejected look on his face.

……

At Moonstone City.

Dong Wanzhai slowly grew anxious.

It had been a while, but the subordinates he sent to the center of Prism Continent hadn’t sent back any news. Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor hadn’t replied either when he asked Liu Yan to contact them.

Even Dong Wanzhai felt that the current situation was a little odd.

“Yue Ji, Shui Ji, and Ye Ji had made arrangements and sent their relatives away from Prism Continent in secret already.” Liu Yan came over with a frown. He noticed Dong Wanzhai’s miniscule reaction. “Yue Ji approached me again earlier and said that Yao Tian wouldn’t talk nonsense. She told us to inform Terminator Sect as soon as possible.”

“How can I notify Terminator Sect when we’ve heard and seen nothing? What can I even say?” Dong Wanzhai grew irritated.

“I think Yue Ji and the other women are about to leave too,” Liu Yan said.

“Let them do whatever they want,” Dong Wanzhai said carelessly.

While the duo were chatting with each other, someone came in hastily from outside and yelled, “Heaven Martial Association sent news!”

“What did they say?” Both Dong Wanzhai and Liu Yan looked invigorated by the news.

“They said that they couldn’t contact anyone of their martial practitioners in that area. Heaven Martial Association said that the situation isn’t quite right and that they had sent their experts to check it out,” he answered.

“Jewel Flame Manor sent news!” Another person rushed in fearfully as if his pants were on fire. “They said that unidentified evil beings have invaded many cities in Jewel Flame Manor’s domain and slaughtered all the people in there. Those evil beings also tore apart corpses and ate them raw!”

Dong Wanzhai and Liu Yan finally turned pale upon hearing this.

It was only now that they finally realized that Qin Lie’s departure wasn’t an impulsive move.

“Palace Master! A vassal force of Black Iron rank one thousand kilometers to the southwest of Moonstone City has sent over an emergency message saying that they are being chased by those outsiders, and that almost all of them have been killed!”

“Those outsiders are incredibly cruel and bloodthirsty. The martial practitioners who perished in their hands have all been devoured alive!”

Dong Wanzhai’s expression changed once more.

It wasn’t long after the first message that many other Black Iron rank forces under Moon Worshipping Palace sent over emergency messages as well.

Similar things were happening all over the Prism Continent, hundreds of thousands of people being brutally murdered by these outsiders.

From what they learned, it was apparent that these forces weren’t able to retaliate against the enemy at all. Every defense line they had was crumbling.

Dong Wanzhai panicked and ordered Liu Yan to inform Terminator Sect about Prism Continent’s dire predicament.

Both Jewel Flame Manor and Heaven Martial Association had reported this to Shen Kui ahead of them.

Lei Yan still had yet to depart from Terminator Sect at the time.

“The situation is very bad!” When Shen Kui received the latest news from Heaven Martial Association and Jewel Flame Manor, he called over all the people in charge and ordered, “Tell the people in seclusion to come out right now. Chu Li, head to Thunder God Roar Valley and notify Forefather Terminator about the situation. Lei Yan, contact Hei Shite of the Asura Race. Inform them about our predicament!”

Terminator Sect immediately broke out into uproar.

Plenty of experts in hiding halted their seclusion meditation prematurely after they received the order.

Many giant flying spirit artifacts soared to the skies of the Heaven Silence Continent as they flew towards Prism Continent.

Under Shen Kui’s command, the giant war machine that was Terminator Sect was swiftly brought to life.

By now, Qin Lie had already left Prism Continent.

This time, he didn’t dilly dally and flew along a straight line towards Heaven Silence Continent.

Along the way, Lin Liang’er had entered the Soul Suppressing Orb of her own accord in order to recover from her soul’s injuries.

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos had also stopped bothering him after they swallowed those strange crystals. They entered yet another deep slumber.

“Rrrmb!”

A thunderous explosion resounded from deep within the clouds, catching Qin Lie off guard.

He halted the chariot and looked in the direction of the noise. To his surprise, he saw three two thousand meters long ships made of black iron streaking through the clouds like black dragons.

“It’s Terminator Sect!”
