Spirit Realm Chapter 760-764

Chapter 760: The Enormous Bloody Spear

This was the first time Qin Lie was using spirit diagrams in battle.

Above his head, eight enormous pillars floated in the sky like ancient gods that looked down at the world.

Countless bolts of electricity formed into an enormous ball of lightning in the shape of a heart and gave off terrifying rumbles.

“Boom! Boom boom! Boom boom boom!”

The ball of electricity swelled. With each beat, thunderous divine light that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye formed into ripples that spread outwards.

With each explosion, hearts of the clansmen of the three ghoul races exploded.

Their figures, having lost their life and covered in blood, fell towards the ocean.

There were only a few members of the three great ghoul races left near Qin Lie. Those who remained…

…were in Fragmentation and Nirvana Realms.

Anyone below the Fragmentation Realm had died.

“Boom!” The ball of lightning continued.

The remaining Fragmentation Realm outsiders endured the attack of Profound Thunder Heart, but having suffered internal injuries, they were forced to retreat.

They quickly found that the further away they were from Qin Lie, the smaller the damage they received.

“Retreat!”

The ghouls reacted. Someone shouted, and the others immediately followed suit. The ghouls that had been charging at Qin Lie were like a reverse tide.

They were aware of the danger Qin Lie and the Blaze Family imprint posed to them, but they had no other choice. They had to retreat.

Had they chosen not to leave, they would have exploded.

—That was an outcome they didn’t want to see.

“Hm, weren’t they just shouting to kill Qin Lie at any cost?” Tian Yu of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain grumbled with a shocked expression.

“He’s stronger than before.” Yu Men had a complicated expression.

Luo Kexin from Celestial Artifact Sect looked at Qin Lie with gleaming eyes.

First, she looked deeply at him, then at the Thunderblitz wood formation and lightning ball inside. She probed it with her soul.

Gradually, Luo Kexin’s eyes grew brighter, and her body started to tremble minutely.

She detected the channels of spirit diagrams from inside the lightning ball.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Six blazing flame tongues slithered around Du Xiangyang like six fire spirit snakes.

The six nimble fire snakes charged at three Earth Ghouls in the Fulfillment Realm. The ghouls were immediately pierced by the sword energy as bloody holes appeared on their bodies.

Du Xiangyang clearly held the upper hand and occasionally gave howls of excitement and pride.

His performance attracted Luo Kexin’s attention.

Luo Kexin looked over and immediately saw the Five Flames Flowing Light Sword in Du Xiangyang’s hand. She watched as the flying sword she had judged to be unrepairable scrap displayed astounding power in Du Xiangyang’s hands and released many wondrous fire snakes. There was a bitter grimace on her face.

The light and nimbleness of that flying sword was like a heavy slap to her face.

Her face burned, not in pain, but shame.

Thinking back to the conversation and scene a few days ago, her beautiful eyes changed expression and landed on Qin Lie again.

Qin Lie had taken the “Five Fire Flowing Light Sword” from Du Xiangyang at the end.

Thinking about the dazzling spirit diagram inside the eight Thunderblitz wood slabs, Luo Kexin understood everything.

The Five Flames Flowing Light Sword she had thought no one in the vast Land of Chaos could repair had been successfully repaired by Qin Lie.

She knew what was inside the Five Flames Flowing Light Sword.

“Ancient diagram…” Luo Kexin murmured.

“Everyone, please move aside!”

At this moment, Qin Lie shouted loudly. The eight slabs of Thunderblitz wood above his head slowly moved forward as though supported by enormous hands.

“I can only injure and kill the outsiders if I get close to them!”

Thousands of human martial practitioners from the five Silver rank forces instinctively retreated.

They made way for Qin Lie, creating a path leading to a gathering spot of three great ghoul races.

Qin Lie could move forward directly.

“Protect Qin Lie! His value is at least equal to a Soul Altar expert!” Celestial Artifact Sect’s Bi You waved his arms and shouted.

He once had a deep conflict with Qin Lie.

Three years ago, when Qin Lie first came to the Land of Chaos, Qin Lie had stolen the Demon Sealing Tombstone from Bi You near Sea Moon Island.

In order to find Qin Lie and Song Tingyu, he had sent out dozens of martial practitioners from Celestial Artifact Sect and searched the area around Sea Moon Island for multiple months.

To achieve his goal, he had even found the Blue Star Association and had all their members cooperate with him to find the culprit.

But in the end, he had come out empty-handed

After the Graveyard of Gods’ Trial ended, Qin Lie’s fame spread through the world. Capturing the remains of the ancient elites, stealing from Jiang Zhuzhe and destroying his agreement with Celestial Artifact Sect.

Only then did he learn that Qin Lie had been the one who had stolen the Demon Sealing Tombstone back at Sea Moon Island.

This had caused him to feel hatred towards Qin Lie.

He felt that if Qin Lie hadn’t stolen the Demon Sealing Tombstone, Celestial Artifact Sect would have reaped more rewards in the Graveyard of Gods.

Yet today, facing the savagery of the three great ghoul races, in front of the enemy of all humans in the Land of Chaos, when he realized Qin Lie’s importance in the battle against the ghouls, he decided to support him.

“Old Li! Old Wu! Come with me!”

Bi You called over two of his close friends in the Fragmentation realm. He charged first towards Qin Lie to protect him.

His two friends trusted him deeply. They followed without a word to reach Qin Lie.

“Send three Fragmentation Realm and one Nirvana Realm experts to protect Qin Lie!” Yu Men of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain hesitated and then ordered gravely.

The experts of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain protecting him and Tian Yu looked in shock at him.

“I don’t like him! I dislike him greatly!” Yu Men snorted. “But his use in this battle is indescribable. At least right now, he is much more important than I am!”

“What are you dawdling for? Go!” Tian Yu urged.

The four experts of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain that were supposed to guard the pair had complicated expressions. They nodded and then flew away.

Yu Men had fought Qin Lie a few times in the Graveyard of Gods. Due to this, they had become enemies.

Tian Yu had been wounded a few days ago by Qin Lie.

But at this time, they chose to temporarily forget their grudges with Qin Lie, and had their retinue protect Qin Lie instead.

“What are you dazing there for?” Chu Li glared at the old members of Terminator Sect around him.

Those people nodded silently and landed next to Qin Lie to protect him.

“Go over there!” Luo Chen commanded coldly.

And so, Heavenly Sword Mountain also sent a group of experts.

Four Silver rank forces, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Celestial Artifact Sect, Terminator Sect, and Heavenly Sword Mountain sent a portion of their elites to Qin Lie and proactively protected him.

Only Illusory Demon Sect’s martial practitioners didn’t move.

Shi Xiuling, Ju Ruijie, and the martial practitioners from Illusory Demon Sect were silent from beginning to end. They did not give any orders.

No one came over of their own accord.

This scene was awkward and eerie.

“I thought that Illusory Demon Sect would be his strongest ally,” Luo Kexin said disdainfully.

“The Setting Sun Islands are within Illusory Demon Sect’s borders. The great majority of Blazing Profound Bombs that Gray Island produced used are sold to Illusory Demon Sect. Shouldn’t Blood Fiend Sect and Illusory Demon Sect be the closest?” Tian Yu looked in shock at Yu Men.

Yu Men also had an astounded expression.

All this time, Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain had no interactions with Blood Fiend Sect. Naturally, they shared no relationship.

However, when they realized Qin Lie’s existence itself could explode the bodies of the outsiders, they didn’t hesitate and chose to protect Qin Lie.

They thought it would be natural for anyone with the slightest bit of intellect.

What puzzled them was that they, who had conflicts with Qin Lie, could see the situation and make the correct choice. Why didn’t Illusory Demon Sect do the same?

It was an outcome they found strange.

Fortunately, with the protection of Heavenly Sword Mountain, Celestial Artifact Sect, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Terminator Sect, Qin Lie’s safety was almost guaranteed.

Qin Lie continued to move towards the gathering place of the three great ghoul races.

The strongest of the four Silver rank forces came and formed a circle around him.

“Boom boom boom!”

The blinding lightning ball at the center of the eight Thunderblitz wood slabs continued to explode.

“Pfft!”

The members of the three great ghoul races coughed up blood as they screamed, clenching their chests.

These were all in the Fragmentation Realm.

Large groups of Fulfillment and Netherpassage Realm martial practitioners had died as the lightning ball pulsed.

At least half of the hundreds of outsiders that had ridden the floating rocks from Prism Continent had died due to Qin Lie.

Among them, there were six Nirvana Realm experts that had been turned to ash by the blaze imprint before the fight even began.

Dozens of Fragmentation Realm ghouls had their hearts wounded by the Profound Thunder Heart. They lost their balance, and the great part of their strength. Their opponents successfully killed them.

Qin Lie’s effect was astounding.

The ghouls that followed saw the strange, mysterious deaths of their clansmen and slowed their charge.

“Retreat!”

The surviving ghouls recognized the state of the situation and retreated towards Prism Continent.

The battle that should have been evenly matched became completely tilted due to Qin Lie’s appearance.

The humans had the upper hand.

“The outsiders are retreating!”

“They are fleeing back to Prism Continent!”

“What to do?”

“How should we attack?”

The martial practitioners of the five Silver rank forces started a heated discussion when they saw the situation change.

Many people had excited expressions and bright eyes. They seemed as though they couldn’t control themselves.

Many of the Nirvana Realm martial practitioners from Terminator Sect, Heavenly Sword Mountain, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Celestial Artifact Sect heard the discussion and looked instinctively towards Qin Lie.

The damage Qin Lie could cause along could match a hundred, or even a thousand people!

They thought of Qin Lie as the sharpest and deadliest spear in the hands of humans!

Strength determined the right to speak, and status!

By this criterion, it was Qin Lie’s words that held the most weight, so everyone instinctively looked at him.

Despite their stares, Qin Lie’s expression was steady and his eyes cold as he said, “To the core of Prism Continent!”

“Alright! Fight to the core of Prism Continent!”

“Protect Qin Lie to the core of Prism Continent!”

“We do not know the state of the battle in the firmament, and have no power to participate! But we have to win the battle of Prism Continent! We need to destroy the future foundations of the foreign races, and cut off their future!”

“Go! Follow Qin Lie into Prism Continent!”

The crowd was excited.

……

Chapter 761: We Need You!

Deep inside the clouds, the battle between the Soul Altar experts of the human race and the ghoul races triggered many spatial tremors and storms. Meteors penetrated the firmament, and dazzling explosions looked like stars as they lit the world.

Be it the human race or the three ghoul races, the peak experts made sure that their battlefield was limited to the sky and the sky alone.

They knew very well that a battle at their level would wreck disastrous levels of havoc if they were to fight on the ground.

No one could participate in their level of battle unless they were of the same cultivation. Not even Nirvana Realm experts were qualified to participate.

This was a true battle of the pinnacles.

Under the sky, the battle of martial practitioners beneath Imperishable Realm was cut short before it could escalate.

The outsider races were retreating back to Prism Continent.

“Charge into the heart of their base!”

War cries were raised by the men of the five great Silver rank forces as dozens of Nirvana and Fragmentation Realm experts surrounded Qin Lie like typhoons and flew towards Prism Continent alongside him.

Right now Qin Lie had temporarily withdrawn the eight slabs of Thunderblitz wood to preserve his strength.

“Just focus on recovering and ignore everything else,” Shen Yue said softly.

Qin Lie was sitting atop her Golden Winged Luan.

The top speed of a Rank Six Golden Winged Luan surpassed the top speed of every crystalline war chariot in Qin Lie’s possession. In order to make his way faster to the outsiders’ gathering grounds and to avoid losing his concentration, Qin Lie didn’t turn down Shen Yue’s invitation and chose to ride on her Golden Winged Luan.

He took out pieces of dried spirit beast meat from his spatial ring, chewing and devouring them piece by piece.

The jerky strips were made out of rank five or six spirit beasts. They contained a tremendous amount of refined flesh and blood energy, and they were extremely useful to recovery of one’s stamina and bloodline power.

At the same time, Qin Lie was also clutching many spirit stones of great purity with his other hand and absorbing the spirit energy inside it.

Both his physical body and spirit sea had used up a lot of energy during the battle earlier.

He activated his bloodline and the blaze imprints, causing all the experts of the three great ghoul races who were branded in the past to be flooded by terrifying flames and burned to ashes before they could do anything.

Every one of these enemies were at least at the late stage of the Fragmentation Realm.

Most of the martial practitioners who were branded by the Blaze Family were of incredible cultivation. Branded late stage Nirvana Realm martial practitioners could be found wherever he looked.

The blaze imprint had dealt a severe blow to the three great ghoul races’ forces and eliminated their strongest experts in the very beginning of the fight.

Of course, the price of activating his bloodline power was his body’s physical strength.

Later on, he manipulated the eight Thunderblitz wood slabs and drew a compound spirit diagram with lightning itself. He conjured the Profound Thunder Heart and killed many enemy martial practitioners continuously at the cost of his spirit energy and soul energy.

That was why he needed to do his best to recover his spirit energy, soul energy, and physical strength in the shortest time possible. It was the only way for him to continue his miraculous feats and deal a destructive blow to the outsider races.

He focused all of his concentration on recovering his powers.

“Take this Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill and do your best to recover as soon as possible. We need you!” Suddenly, Celestial Artifact Sect’s Bi You passed over a pill to him.

Qin Lie opened his eyes.

The pill glowing with jade-like luster was about as big as a Dragon Eye Fruit. A small cloud floated above the pill and emanated with a refined aura of souls.

The amount of refined soul energy in this pill actually felt bigger than ten soul crystals combined. When he sniffed the small cloud floating above the pill, his Soul Lake felt cleansed and his soul felt improved.

“Celestial Artifact Sect truly is rich and generous.” Shen Yue couldn’t help but let out a praise when she saw the pill. When she saw that Qin Lie was still blanking out, she grabbed the pill from Bi You’s hands without hesitation.

Showing no regard for the common courtesies between men and women, she stuffed the pill directly into Qin Lie’s mouth beneath Bi You’s astonished gaze.

“Both your hands are occupied, aren’t they? I’m just helping you by doing what little I can do.” Shen Yue smiled softly.

Before Qin Lie could react, the fragrant-smelling pill was stuffed into his mouth.

Even better, Shen Yue’s delicate finger touched his lips once lightly.

He was surprised.

Shen Yue could’ve avoided the contact if she paid a little more attention, but she hadn’t done so.

In fact, he felt that Shen Yue had done it on purpose.

Right now, countless martial practitioners were looking at him. Therefore, not even the tiniest movement of Shen Yue’s had escaped their eyes.

The thousands of Heavenly Sword Mountain, Illusory Demon Sect, Celestial Artifact Sect, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Terminator Sect martial practitioners were all staring at him and Shen Yue in shock.

They all saw the close contact between Shen Yue’s fingertip and his lips.

Everyone’s eyes sparkled like they had discovered a new continent and fell into deep thought.

“There are countless flying spirit artifacts and spirit birds around him, but Shen Yue’s Golden Winged Luan was the one he chose to sit on. Moreover, Shen Yue had just made intimate contact with Qin Lie without caring for common courtesies at all. What does this mean? This means that their relationship is deeper than normal.”

“It would appear that they are a pair of lovers.”

“So he and Shen Yue share a relationship like this. In that case it’s no wonder Terminator Sect regarded this kid so highly. Shen Yue is Shen Kui’s granddaughter, and Shen Kui is a martial practitioner whom even Nan Zhengtian and Lei Yan greatly respected. Even if it is just for Shen Kui’s sake, Nan Zhengtian had no reason not to protect him with all he got.”

“So this is why Nan Zhengtian demanded Black Voodoo Cult to not harm Qin Lie.”

A lot of people wore a look of realization on their faces.

“God dammit, this bastard acts as swift as lightning! Why the heck did he come to me to ask about Senior Sister Shen’s private life when they’re this close with each other already? Does he have a screw loose in his head?” Du Xiangyang complained on the inside.

A hint of bitterness hung at the corners of Luo Chen’s mouth.

There were plenty of Terminator Sect, Heavenly Sword Mountain, Celestial Artifact Sect and even Ten Thousand Beast Mountain young men who admired Shen Yue.

Therefore, these people were both envious and jealous of Qin Lie right now. They were feeling all kinds of emotions.

“Senior Sister Xue, did I mistake your relationship with Qin Lie? Or… do you and Shen Yue serve the same husband?”

Ju Ruijie and Xue Moyan were not far away from each other.

After moving her gaze away from Shen Yue and Qin Lie, she looked disdainfully at Xue Moyan and did her best to ridicule her.

“Regardless, it would seem that you have failed terribly.”

“If you and Qin Lie share no ties with each other, then I can only say that you are a blind fool. I may dislike the guy, but the fact that he could cause such a huge commotion in the Land of Chaos proved just how capable he really is. If I were you, I would’ve held him tight and won his heart over back at the Graveyard of Gods. I would’ve made sure that his heart is filled only with my image.”

“If you are as clever as I am and did so, then you may ignore what I said earlier. But this also begs another question: how did he get together with Shen Yue? Is your control over your man really this pathetic? How can you be so careless as to allow Shen Yue to get so close to him? You should be doing what Shen Yue is doing right now; she’s robbing you of your man right before everyone’s eyes! How can you stand this?”

“Heh. If I were you, I have to admit, there would be no way for me to tolerate this.”

Xue Moyan’s eyes were dim as she said softly with a lowered head, “There’s nothing between us.”

“Then you are an even greater failure than I expected!” Ju Ruijie sneered. “I’ve asked about you two, and I know that he’s the one who extended your life back at the Graveyard of Gods, saved your father and helped awaken your mother from her deep slumber. He even brought back the Blood Progenitor’s body to your father, helped Blood Fiend Sect establish themselves on the Setting Sun Islands, and helped in your fight against the Black Voodoo Cult and the three great families… I don’t know what else he had helped you with.”

“The point is that he gave you plenty aid and played roles of incalculable significance in many cases. If you cannot bind someone who contributed so much to you and the Blood Fiend Sect by emotions, then what else can you offer to influence him into continue helping Blood Fiend Sect in the future?”

“Forgive my directness, but what other qualities do you possess that could attract him other than your slightly pretty looks?”

“You no longer possess the dazzling status or identity of Illusory Demon Sect successor. Your current status is far inferior to Shen Yue’s in this regard.”

“I admit that you possess incredible talent, and that you are in no way inferior to Shen Yue in this regard. However, Shen Yue has incredible management skills which you don’t possess.”

“The greatest mistake you made was to let him slip through your fingers when you had the chance back at the Graveyard of Gods. It may be impossible to rectify that mistake now.”

Ju Ruijie’s analysis made Xue Moyan look a little uncomfortable. Even her eyes looked a little dull.

She subconsciously looked at Shen Yue some distance away from her and noticed the trace of redness coloring both sides of her cheeks. The emotion of jealousy suddenly sprang into her heart.

At the same time, Shen Yue suddenly turned around to look at her as if she had noticed Xue Moyan’s gaze.

Shen Yue’s eyes lit up aggressively, and the corners of her lips curled slightly upwards. She seemed to be taunting Xue Moyan soundlessly.

Xue Moyan’s face stiffened.

Shen Yue let out a soft laugh and withdrew her gaze proudly. She didn’t continue looking at Xue Moyan any longer.

“Everyone, please share with us some high quality pills if possible so that Qin Lie can recover as soon as possible,” Shen Yue said seriously to the experts around her.

“I have a Yin Yang Calibration Pill here.”

“I have a Seven Apertures Mind Nurturing Pill.”

“Here’s a Nature Pill.”

Terminator Sect, Heavenly Sword Mountain, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Celestial Artifact Sect martial practitioners passed over the pills with slightly pained looks on their faces.

“Don’t move. Allow me to take them for you.”

Shen Yue went over and accepted the offered pills kindly. She then stood fearlessly beside Qin Lie.

“Notify me when the pills you’ve consumed are fully refined. I’ll give you a new pill when you’re done,” she said gently.

As of that moment, the Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill he just swallowed was releasing a tremendous amount of refined soul energy throughout his body. He couldn’t talk to Shen Yue because he was doing his best to digest it.

In everyone else’s eyes however, Qin Lie was submitting judgment to Shen Yue completely and allowing her to deal with the trifle matters.

This made them feel even more certain that Shen Yue and him shared a close relationship with each other.

“How unfortunate. If Shen Yue hasn’t gotten to him first, I would’ve introduced my disciple to him.”

“Shen Yue sure acts quickly. I wanted to see if he fancies my daughter too, but, alas, I guess that’s no longer possible.”

“We, Heavenly Sword Mountain, have a good lass too.”

Beside Qin Lie, the Nirvana Realm experts who just passed over their pills to Shen Yue shook their heads and muttered regretfully to themselves.

Qin Lie’s name was destined to spread throughout the Land of Chaos and turn him into the most sought after person after this battle.

Judging from today’s battle, Qin Lie would likely become one of the greatest person on the Land of Chaos In the near future.

An engagement would’ve been the perfect alternative to tie down a free agent who listened to no sect like Qin Lie.

That was what they all thought.

—If only Shen Yue hadn’t gotten ahead of them.

Chapter 762: Ambushed

Qin Lie ignored all external distractions and completely focused on recovering himself.

The effects of the Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill was extremely strong. After the pill had melted in his stomach, a stream of rich, refined soul energy scattered into millions of tiny tendrils that entered his mind through his blood vessels.

The soul energy gathered in his Soul Lake upon entering his mind.

The Soul Lake that had shrunk one third of its original size were regrowing at a visible rate thanks to the injection of millions of soul tendrils.

The feeling where his soul energy was so full it was about to overflow slowly surfaced to his mind. It soothed his True Soul, and the process felt like his soul and mind were being washed by a fountain of ambrosia. Even his Soul Lake felt incredibly cleaned.

It felt as if his True Soul was being sublimed to a higher level.

There was another rich stream of spirit energy that spread down to his stomach and surged into his dantian’s spirit sea.

The wisps of milky white spirit clouds condensed inside his dantian’s spirit sea and replenished his depleted spirit energy swiftly.

Not only could the Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill recover one’s soul energy swiftly, it could fill up one’s spirit sea with spirit energy too. It was a pill that regenerated both soul energy and spirit energy.

“At his current realm, it would appear that a Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill is more than enough to restore him to full.”

Not far away, Celestial Artifact Sect’s Bi You narrowed his eyes slightly with an odd expression on his face.

He was the one who gifted the Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill to Qin Lie, so he knew better than anyone just how precious the pill was. It was also how he knew with one hundred percent certainty that a single Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill was enough to restore Qin Lie’s soul energy and spirit energy to full.

This also meant that Qin Lie didn’t need more pills to restore his soul energy or spirit energy.

He refused to believe that Shen Yue wasn’t privy to the value of a Soul Cloud Saint Spirit Pill.

In his opinion, Shen Yue’s act to request pills from other martial practitioners was overstepping the line a little.

“It is enough for now, of course,” Shen Yue smiled, “However… this war against the outsider race may last for a very long time. It may end in just ten days’ time, but it may also drag out for a whole year. Qin Lie is capable of dealing the outsiders a destructive blow, so the outsiders will suffer as long as he remains energetic and lively. That’s why there’s no harm in hoarding as many pills as possible ahead of time. They will all be used eventually.”

Bi You thought that Shen Yue’s words made sense after thinking for a moment. Therefore, he stopped questioning further into her actions.

The martial practitioners continued to advance towards the center of Prism Continent while protecting Qin Lie.

Fifteen minutes later, while the group was passing by Moonstone City, Qin Lie abruptly cut his recovery short and opened his eyes.

Dozens of fierce blazes and innumerable unknown divine characters sprung out from inside his pupils.

“What’s going on?” Shen Yue was the closest to Qin Lie, so she was the first one to notice his strange reaction.

“Over there!” Qin Lie pointed at a stone tower at the southeastern corner of Moonstone City.

“Follow me!” Bi You charged towards it.

Another Nirvana Realm martial practitioner who was followed closely by two Fragmentation Realm martial practitioners charged towards that direction as well.

“Burn!”

Qin Lie pressed his tongue against the upper part of his mouth and verbalized an unknown divine character in a strange note.

The blood inside his body boiled as the blaze divine character glowed with extraordinary strength.

The divine characters inside his blood swam in an unfathomable, worldly pattern as if they were planets orbiting within a sea of stars.

This was the wondrous interconnection that existed within the power of bloodlines.

“Uuah!”

The painful cry and the burning figure of an evil ghoul appeared from under the stone tower Bi You was charging to.

It was an Earth Ghoul clansman who was currently engulfed in flames.

“Kill him!”

Strangeness occurred in Moonstone City once more.

The grand stone palaces of the ruined Moonstone City instantly shattered into smithereens.

Giant rocks and stone pillars were turned into deadly projectiles and shot towards their direction.

“Crack!”

The ground fissured and revealed many dark cracks as the Earth Ghoul clansmen hiding deep underground burst into the open.

The gravity around the area abruptly increased by hundreds of times.

The crystalline war chariots, the Fragmentation Realm martial practitioners flying in the sky, the spirit birds and the giant carriages abruptly plummeted towards the ground because they were unable to adapt to the sudden increase of gravity immediately.

The explosions of flying spirit artifacts illuminated the whole area.

Plenty of Netherpassage Realm martial practitioners or martial practitioners who weren’t protected by spirit artifacts who were attacked by frenzied groups of Earth Ghoul clansmen the moment they plummeted to the ground.

Dozens of unrecognizable human corpses instantly appeared on the floor.

Hundreds of Earth Ghoul clansmen swarmed these corpses in an instant, tearing and devouring them like wild animals.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Brown yellow colored storms mixed with stone fragments, wood, the carcasses of spirit beasts and blood suddenly appeared from every part of Moonstone City.

Heaven Ghoul clansmen were unleashing their spatial power and drawing many spatial blades amidst the storm.

Blue Ghoul clansmen were clutching chain bracelets, necklaces, and bone staffs made of animal bones and dancing madly.

Gray colored evil energy gathered from every direction and tore at the humans like meat grinders.

In an instant, dozens or so humans were enveloped by the terrible power of those storms, cut into pieces by the spatial blades, or penetrated by the evil energy again.

Even more Earth Ghoul clansmen burst out from underground and charged towards them suicidally while still chewing on human flesh and bones, looking like real ghouls that had emerged from the abyss.

The human martial practitioners fell into panicked disorder.

“This place’s gravity field was altered by the enemy!” Qin Lie turned pale.

He couldn’t use the eight Thunderblitz Trees because the gravity of this place had been increased several hundred times than normal. This also meant that he couldn’t inscribe another spirit diagram and reactivate the destructive Profound Thunder Heart.

Even worse was that the Golden Winged Luan he and Shen Yue was on was also falling heavily towards the ground.

Innumerable amount of Heaven Ghoul, Earth Ghoul, and Blue Ghoul clansmen were waiting beneath them.

Countless pairs of dark, violent and evil eyes were staring at him closely.

It was obvious that the anomaly in Moonstone City was a devious trap specifically prepared by the foreign for him.

The Earth Ghoul clansmen’s alterations to gravity so that it was hundreds of times stronger than normal made it impossible for him to use the eight Thunderblitz Trees.

The Blue Ghoul clansmen who were good at hiding slipped deep underground with the Earth Ghoul clansmen aid and avoided the human martial practitioners’ soul scan through a secret art. After the human martial practitioners had come to them, they emerged without warning and ambushed their enemies.

They instantly turned the situation on its head.

In just a short time, almost a hundred human martial practitioners were caught off guard and killed. After their corpses had fallen to the ground, they were torn and devoured by the outsiders, leaving not a single corpse behind.

The scene was incredibly bloody and violent.

Many of the young human martial practitioners had never experienced a fight like this. When they saw that the companions and senior brothers and sisters that they were just talking to a moment ago turning into fleshy bits inside the outsiders’ mouth, when they saw the way blood splattered from the outsiders’ mouth with every chewing motion, they almost broke down there and then.

The crumbling of their minds caused their combat strength to fall far below normal. Since they weren’t able to pay attention to the battle, they naturally weren’t able to unleash their full strength.

The human race’s morale was currently low.

“Eat this!”

While the Golden Winged Luan was falling swiftly towards the ground, Qin Lie’s spatial ring sparkled as several Blaze Profound Bombs winked into existence.

With him as the center, the scarlet metal balls flew towards the places where the outsiders were densely packed like fire beams.

“Explode!”

In an instant, terrific explosions appeared from the spots where the outsiders were entrenched.

Thunder erupted while lightning swam like living dragons. Wildfire instantly engulfed Moonstone City in a sea of flames.

Blaze Profound Bombs might could be amplified. When two Blaze Profound Bombs were to clash against one another, their destructive strength could be multiplied by several folds.

The impact caused by the simultaneous explosions of multiple Blaze Profound Bombs instantly caused a group of dozens or so Earth Ghoul clansmen to scatter into bloody rains.

“The Terminator Profound Bombs!” Shen Yue reacted.

The martial practitioners of Terminator Sect looked incredibly invigorated.

They began throwing silver metallic balls too towards the outsiders and into the storms.

For a time, every corner of Moonstone City resounded with devastating booms of destruction.

The Blaze Profound Bombs and Terminator Profound Bombs were incredible weapons that could turn a battle on its head and deal unbelievable amounts of damage to the enemy in a short time.

The three great ghoul races’ clansmen had obviously failed to react in time.

Many of them were crushed and killed in the explosions.

Using the opening created by the bombs, a dozen or so Nirvana Realm martial practitioners who were well versed in the power of gravity combined their strength and unleashed them.

“Crack crack crack!”

The exterior of Moonstone City rippled like a tidal wave or a carpet flapping to the wind.

Many palaces crumbled and was destroyed.

The powerful gravity fields deep beneath the fissured ground and the geocentric formations the Earth Ghoul clansmen had set up there became ineffective as the ground rippled.

The gravity field that made everything several hundred times heavier than normal was gradually fading.

“Retreat for now!”

A tiny Earth Ghoul clansman howled eerily when they saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.

Many dark underground holes magically appeared under the effects of the Earth Ghoul Race’s energy.

Many Blue Ghoul and Heaven Ghoul clansmen plunged head first into those dark holes and instantly disappeared.

Many Earth Ghoul clansmen were able to merge into the ground like fish in water the second they set foot on the ground surface.

To them, the dark and lightless underground was almost like home.

They were capable of moving freely underground.

This was their unique racial talent.

The human martial practitioners who just turned the tides a little and was about to counter attack the outsiders suddenly discovered that their figures and auras had all disappeared.

By now Moonstone City was riddled in holes and completely ruined. Pools of blood could be found everywhere, but not one of the deceased could be found at all.

Both the humans and outsider races who had died in the battle were taken away by the Earth Ghoul clansmen into the underground. They would bury their clansmen, but the humans… they would eat them.

The gravity field of this place suddenly turned back to normal.

“They already left,” a Celestial Artifact Sect martial practitioner who reached the late stage of Nirvana Realm sighed helplessly while staring at the ground with a dark expression.

Illusory Demon Sect’s Shi Xiuling was frowning deeply before she stared at Qin Lie, “That burning outsider was bait!”

Everyone came to realization when they heard this.

Qin Lie could detect some special outsiders and burn them to death through a secret art that they had no understanding of.

The outsiders also knew this.

That was why they had set up a trap, altered the gravity and left behind a special outsider to bait them into this place.

As expected, the group had noticed that outsider’s existence from the anomaly in his bloodline and exposed him while they were passing through this place.

This caused them to pause above Moonstone City, and Bi You charging out on his own accord to hunt down that outsider.

After that, they were ambushed by the enemy and forced to pay a terrible price. More than a hundred human martial practitioners died without a body to show.

“He is largely responsible for the damage we suffer!” Shi Xiuling accused Qin Lie.

Fifty of the people who died horribly in this battle were her disciples and subordinates.

This was because the Illusory Demon Sect had a lot of female martial practitioners, and these foreign races found the flesh of young human females tastier than human males.

That was why they spent more energy on taking down Illusory Demon Sect martial practitioners when they ambushed them earlier, causing them to suffer the heaviest casualties.

Shi Xiuling didn’t know this.

She assumed that Qin Lie harbored malicious intentions and purposely caused the deaths of many Illusory Demon Sect’s disciples.

Although she could offer no reason, evidence or method to support her theory.

That was what she thought all the same.

Otherwise, why on earth was the number of casualties they suffered half of the total number of people who died out of all five great Silver rank forces?

Chapter 763: The Three Great Battlefields

Shi Xiuling waved her hand.

The members of Illusory Demon Sect who had been scattered around Moonstone City gathered around her.

Qin Lie frowned.

There were more than three hundred members of Illusory Demon Sect, all of them in Netherpassage, Fulfillment, Fragmentation and Nirvana Realm. This faction was not weak.

At this time, all of these members had hostile expressions.

“We, Illusory Demon Sect, decide to leave the campaign against the other races!” Shi Xiuling said coldly.

“Why?” Ten Thousand Beast Mountain’s elder, Tu Mou, asked gravely.

The other people from Terminator Sect, Heavenly Sword Mountain, and Celestial Artifact Sect frowned as well as they looked with dark expressions at Illusory Demon Sect.

“Qin Lie is purposefully directed against Illusory Demon Sect!” Ju Ruijie said coldly.

“Against Illusory Demon Sect?” Celestial Artifact Sect’s Luo Kexin had a pleased smile on her face. “Who doesn’t know how close the Setting Sun Islands and Illusory Demon Sect are. Everyone knows of the great friendship between Elder Mo of Blood Fiend Sect and your Sect Master Yu. When did Setting Sun Islands and Illusory Demon Sect end on opposite sides?”

“Things are really difficult to predict.” Du Xiangyang sighed.

“So strange.” Tian Yu shook her head.

Bi You also frowned deeply.

The four other Silver forces had always thought that Setting Sun Island and Illusory Demon Sect were close knit and the most reliable allies for each other.

Yet the recent string of events showed that there was a great divide between the Setting Sun Islands and Illusory Demon Sect.

This puzzled them.

“What conflict occurred between the two?” Many people thought inwardly.

“One mountain cannot hold two tigers,” Shen Yuee sighed softly.

Many people realized after hearing her sigh and thinking carefully.

“So that is how it is.” Yu Men nodded in understanding.

“Illusory Demon Sect is too small-minded!” He Yi, an artificer of Celestial Artifact Sect, snorted coldly and said.

“Ah, how generous do you think a force made out of women can be?” Du Xiangyang laughed scornfully.

“Whatever you say, Illusory Demon Sect will retreat out of Prism Continent. We do not want to become cannon fodder, and become food for the foreign races!” Shi Xiuling said coldly.

“Let’s go!” Ju Ruijie said.

The remaining three hundred members of Illusory Demon Sect got back on their flying spirit artifacts, gathered together and were about to go back where they came from.

At this time, everyone looked towards Qin Lie. They wanted to know what he thought.

Qin Lie did not express any opinion!

From beginning to end, he did not explain one word. He didn’t think there was a need.

He did not try to keep them, and didn’t allow Shi Xiuling’s words to affect his mentality.

In truth, he was holding spirit beast meat in one hand and bright spirit stones in the other as he narrowed his eyes and recovered his strength on top of the Golden Winged Luan.

He didn’t even blink an eye.

“Aren’t you going to say something?” Shen Yue was shocked.

Shaking his head, he remained silent and decided to disregard the women from Illusory Demon Sect.

“We are right! You don’t even dare to argue!” Ju Ruijie smiled coldly, “After the other races are eliminated, Illusory Demon Sect will go to the Setting Sun Islands to get justice for today!”

Shi Xiuling’s expression was dark. She gave the order and the members of Illusory Demon Sect who had gathered finally left.

Among the crowd, the martial practitioners from Heavenly Sword Mountain, Celestial Artifact Sect, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Terminator Sect frowned slightly but did not speak.

They did not change anything because of Illusory Demon Sect’s departure.

In their eyes, Illusory Demon Sect was throwing an unreasonable tantrum. Maybe Qin Lie was a part of the reason the outsiders had hid in Moonstone City and then suddenly made an ambush.

But at the important moment, Qin Lie had been the one to throw out the greatest number of Blaze Profound Bombs to awaken Terminator Sect so they would throw out the Terminator Profound Bombs and kill the crowds of other races.

Objectively speaking, the humans had not suffered great losses in this battle. More than a hundred of the other races had died.

For the martial practitioners of the four Silver forces, as long as the fatalities and wounds on both sides were about the same, they thought that it was worth it.

Humans were great in number, and so were martial practitioners. Also, humans were a race famed for their reproduction. They had countless Fulfillment and Fragmentation Realm martial practitioners in the Land of Chaos.

The hundred or so people that died were nothing to the Land of Chaos, so small they could not be counted.

This was not true for the outsiders.

The Heaven Ghouls, Blue Ghouls, and Earth Ghouls were far too few in comparison to the human race. They did not have a way to make up for their losses.

If it was one for one, not long in the future, the foreign races would die out.

The human race would not die in this.

“What do you say now?” After a while, Qin Lie lifted his head and looked at the crowd with a serene expression. “Choose to believe me, continue to charge into Prism Continent, or stop now, and retreat?”

“Of course we will go in!”

“Definitely believe in you!”

“We are not those irrational women!”

“We cannot participate in the battle in the skies. But we must win the battle on the ground!”

“Continue!”

The Fragmentation and Nirvana martial practitioners of the four remaining silver forces expressed their opinions.

“Alright! Then let’s continue!” Qin Lie shouted.

Shen Yue softly patted the Golden Winged Luan.

The rank six spirit bird immediately flew into the air and carried her and Qin Lie towards the depths of the continent.

The spirit artifacts rose back into the sky.

……

East of the Heavenly Slaughter Continent.

There were many vast palaces on the endless plains that formed cities.

An enormous lizard-like ancient beast broke apart the gray clouds and suddenly appeared above those cities.

In the next instant, Blue Ghouls controlling bone-like spirit artifacts flew down off the ancient beast.

The Blue Ghoul clansmen immediately started to kill human martial practitioners and massacre the cities below.

Those cities belonged to the strongest copper force under Illusory Demon Sect—Sky Flame.

Copper forces rarely had Nirvana Realm martial practitioners. Even Sky Flame had just five Nirvana martial practitioners.

Yet the leader of these Blue Ghoul clansmen was an Imperishable Realm ghoul sitting on top of a one-level Soul Altar.

“Evil race invasion! Immediately call Illusory Demon Sect and ask them to send an Imperishable expert!”

Screams rang out of the cities. The Nirvana Realm martial practitioners of Sky Flame contacted Illusory Demon Sect at their fastest possible speed.

Almost at the same time.

On the Heavenly Calamity Continent controlled by the three families.

Black Jade City in Razed Desert.

On this moonless night, deep under Black Jade City, shadows flowed like evil ghosts.

Suddenly, shaking vibrations came from below Black Jade City.

Bottomless canals tore apart the ground of Black Jade City like cracks in glass.

An icy, cold and evil aura surged out of the ground. The Earth Ghoul Race charged out during the night.

“Evil race invasion!”

“Damn it! The evil races have come!”

“Evil ghouls have come!”

Wails and cries came from every corner of Black Jade City.

Many members of the Xiahou Family and the martial practitioners under their command were not able to react and were killed by the other races that came out of the ground in the middle of their cultivation.

At the same time, Blue Flame City and Scattered Rain City were invaded by the Earth Ghoul Race at the same time.

The Earth Ghoul Race that could hide under the ground coincidentally landed on the Heavenly Calamity Continent.

Numerous Soul Altar experts of the Earth Ghoul Race took a portion of their race to help the Heaven Ghoul Race at Prism Continent, but there were many members under the leadership of the strongest of their clan that communicated with their fellows on Prism Continent and chose to attack the Heavenly Calamity Continent.

The strongest of the three families, their patriarchs, were coincidentally not present.

At this time, the three family patriarchs were discussing matters with Jiang An at Black Voodoo Cult.

The powerful invasion of the Earth Ghoul Race caused the death of many members of the three families in Black Jade City, Blue Flame City, and Scattered Rain City.

When the three patriarchs received the news, they immediately hurried over from Black Voodoo Cult.

Experts from Black Voodoo Cult also arrived at the Heavenly Calamity Continent with the three families through a large-scale teleportation formation.

On the same day, the Land of Chaos divided into three battlefields.

The five forces at Prism Continent, Illusory Demon Sect at the Heavenly Slaughter Continent, and the three families of the Heavenly Calamity Continent.

None of the nine Silver forces could stay out of this. Even Black Voodoo Cult who had wanted to stand by and benefit were forced to send experts to the Heavenly Calamity Continent and was pulled in.

The flames of the racial war was ignited from three points and burned stronger and hotter, spreading to more areas.

This was a calamity that was worse than the invasion of the Asura Race.

Chapter 764: Schadenfreude

Riding on a Golden Winged Luan, Qin Lie descended on a sand hill situated at a hot desert.

This was Jewel Flame Manor’s territory.

It was noon, and the sunlight shining down from above the sky made the place incredibly hot and stifling.

Yellow sand hills that were several hundred meters tall were scattered at various different places.

“This damnable place is even hotter than it was before!” Chu Li wiped the sweat on his forehead and swore involuntarily.

“Please tell everyone to come over for a moment.” Qin Lie said.

“Who’s… everyone?” Shen Yue asked in surprise.

Qin Lie cast a glance at the people who had gathered around him on their own accord.

Shen Yue lowered her voice after being startled for a moment, “What are you trying to say? It’s best to keep your… special bloodline in wraps. It will draw a lot of trouble otherwise.”

She could sense an unusual tremor of energy and blood energy inside Qin Lie, and from that guess what Qin Lie was trying to do. She couldn’t help but remind him of the consequences.

“I will say that it is all the Demon Sealing Tombstone’s work,” Qin Lie had an answer to this since a long time ago, “I need a logical reason to explain why I can detect the foreign race and cause them to self combust anyway. This is the best way to keep their imagination from running wild.

Shen Yue’s eyes glittered as she mulled over Qin Lie’s words seriously. A while later, she nodded slightly, “You are right. You do need a reason.”

She knew that the thousands of Netherpassage, Fulfillment, Fragmentation, and Nirvana Realm martial practitioners of four great silver forces—Terminator Sect, Heavenly Sword Mountain, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Celestial Artifact Sect—had to be puzzling over Qin Lie’s secrets.

Why could he cause some outsiders to self combust? Why could he detect their movements so accurately?

He had to give a logical explanation eventually.

Therefore, the Demon Sealing Tombstone was a great excuse.

“Should I tell them to come over now?”

“No, wait. Give me another thirty seconds.”

“Oh.”

The Demon Sealing Tombstone appeared and stood vertically on a piece of sandstone. A lifeblood essence that looked as translucent as blood diamonds appeared from the cut skin at Qin Lie’s fingertip.

Shen Yue stared deeply at the blood essence as excitement and anticipation rose silently from behind her pupils.

Just when Qin Lie was about to drip that lifeblood essence onto the tombstone’s surface, he noticed her passionate gaze and was startled by it. He paused his movements and asked, “How did you know about my bloodline?”

“Uncle Xu Ran told me about it.” Shen Yue answered carelessly.

Qin Lie frowned again and asked, “He urged me repeatedly that day not to expose my bloodline to anyone. So why would he tell you this voluntarily?”

“I’m… a little special.” Shen Yue turned red.

“Oh?” Qin Lie’s eyes were filled with the desire to know.

“I’ll tell you someday. I’ll tell you the reason when you’ve… agreed to my request, and when we’ve… gotten together.” Shen Yue said in slightly embarrassment.

Qin Lie was finding the situation more and more queer.

He didn’t push Shen Yue further seeing that she didn’t wish to explain things. He focused his mind once more and dripped the lifeblood essence onto the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

“It’s done.”

“I’ll call them right away.”

When Shen Yue left, her well-rounded figure seemed a little hasty and panicky.

“Bastard! He just won’t let it go! And why is he so sensitive!” She cursed inwardly.

“What? Qin Lie is summoning us over?”

“What’s going on?”

“We’ll know once we head over!”

Before long, Bi You, He Yi, Tu Mou, ten unfamiliar Fragmentation and Nirvana realm martial practitioners, and special juniors such as Luo Chen, Du Xiangyang, Xue Moyan, Tian Yu and Luo Kexin had rushed over from the surroundings and gathered beside Qin Lie.

“The Demon Sealing Tombstone!”

Feng Yiyou and Yu Men exclaimed the moment they saw the object.

Naturally, they all noticed the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

The older generation martial practitioners such as He Yi and Bi You instantly had their attention drawn towards the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

Right now, an image was appearing clearly above the blank tombstone.

Inside the image, many foreign clansmen were gathered at one place while engaged in what seemed like a discussion.

They just couldn’t hear what they were actually talking about.

“This is…” He Yi exclaimed in admiration.

“This is a scene from the enemy’s closest gathering spot. They are currently discussing on how to fight us. You cannot hear their voices, but I can.” Qin Lie said calmly.

In reality, he could broadcast their voices from the Demon Sealing Tombstone if he wanted to.

However, the great ghoul races’ clansmen were currently discussing about his bloodline and how best to eliminate the remnant of the Blaze Family.

He didn’t want anyone to know about his bloodline, so of course he kept the sounds muffled and didn’t present the full details of the discussion.

“I obtained this Demon Sealing Tombstone from inside a God Corpse. It appears to be the key to the Graveyard of Gods, and the Graveyard of Gods is… related to the Heaven Fighting Race.”

“Right now, a total of three races are invading the Land of Chaos. They are all part of the three great ghoul races, and they are called the Heaven Ghoul Race, the Blue Ghoul Race and the Earth Ghoul Race.”

“The three great ghoul races once ruled Spirit Realm alongside other powerful races such as the Giant Dragons, Ancient Beasts, Dark Nether Race and so on. However, the Heaven Fighting Race came and attempted to commit genocide, so they were forced to depart from Spirit Realm.”

“When they left Spirit Realm, they were branded with a permanent mark by the Heaven Fighting Race experts. These marks contain a terrifying amount of energy and willpower that couldn’t be eliminated even though they had been corroding their bodies for over tens of thousand years.”

“This remains true even though thirty thousand years have passed since their return to Spirit Realm!”

“Through the Demon Sealing Tombstone, I am able to detect the imprints inside their bodies and activate them at will!”

Qin Lie explained with a serious look on his face. Most of what he said was true, and he concealed only the matter of his bloodline.

All the experts who had came over to listen to him were absolutely stunned by the revelation. They listened closely, afraid that they would miss out on a single sentence.

Everyone’s doubts were “solved” when he was done explaining. Plus, it was true that the Demon Sealing Tombstone played a major role in detecting the outsiders and burning them to death.

“Where are they right now?” He Yi asked.

The crowd’s attention returned back to the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

Right now, a dozen or so three ghoul races’ clansmen were gathered in a dark underground palace. Judging from the palace’s structure, it was probably a building beneath a graveyard somewhere.

“This place is the Absolute Yin Graveyard eight thousand kilometers away from us.” Chu Li frowned.

Everyone was looking at him in astonishment when he said this.

“I know that place from when I ventured across Prism Continent a long time ago. The Absolute Yin Graveyard is eternally enshrouded in dark and icy aura, and this aura is so strong that it stopped even sunlight from penetrating it.” Chu Li explained, “It is said that this Absolute Yin Graveyard is a place where Moon Worshipping Cult used to bury their dead.”

“Moon Worshipping Cult?” Everyone’s faces turned a little unnatural at this.

Moon Worshipping Cult used to be a powerful Silver rank force on the Land of Chaos. At its peak, it was even stronger than the current Terminator Sect.

Later on, Moon Worshipping Cult gradually declined due to an unknown reason. That was why Terminator Sect was able to replace them to become the new greatest power on the Heavenly Silence Continent.

Every older generation martial practitioner had heard of the infamous Moon Worshipping Cult before. They were both fearful and respectful of this evil cult.

This remained true even though Moon Worshipping Cult was gone since a long time ago.

“There’s nothing there. I once explored the place but found only many graves and some bones and corpses inside them.” Chu Li said uncaringly.

“He’s right. There are a thousand or so clansmen of the three great ghoul races that are gathered at the Absolute Yin Graveyard right now. Excluding the spatial rifts at the center of Prism Continent, it has the second greatest concentration of ghoul clansmen and is the closest place to our current location!” Qin Lie said affirmatively.

“Are they trying to lay an ambush at the Absolute Yin Graveyard and attack us further?” Luo Kexin asked.

“They’re still in discussion. Please wait while I listen in on them for a while longer.” Qin Lie narrowed his eyes.

Everyone fell silent and kept their mouths shut upon hearing this.

They were all staring at the scene happening above the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

However, the scene eventually turned blurry until it faded away completely. Just as they grew anxious and was going to inquire deeper into the matter, they noticed that Qin Lie’s complexion looked odd.

“What’s wrong?” Even Shen Yue couldn’t help but ask.

“What did they say?” Du Xiangyang asked anxiously.

“The Demon Sealing Tombstone can only spy on them for a fixed period of time. It can only be used again after a period of cooldown.” He put away the Demon Sealing Tombstone first before pondering for a moment. Finally, he spoke again, “We are not the only ones they’d engaged.”

Everyone subconsciously trembled and turned pale when they heard this.

“You mean?” He Yi’s lips shuddered slightly.

Qin Lie nodded, “The Earth Ghoul Race and Blue Ghoul Race are currently committing slaughter at two other places.”

“Which two places?” Luo Kexin screamed.

Anxiety piqued in everyone’s hearts.

“The cities of Sky Flame, the copper rank force situated at a corner of the Heavenly Slaughter Continent… is currently under attack by Blue Ghoul clansmen who descended from the sky.”

“Moreover, Razed Desert, Black Jade City, Scattered Rain City, and Blue Flame City at the Heavenly Calamity Continent were ambushed by the Earth Ghoul Race. These forces suffered huge casualties and are in war right now.”

Qin Lie said as he looked at everyone.

Surprisingly, He Yi, Tu Mou, Luo Kexin, Luo Chen and every other martial practitioner present in the area let out long sighs of relief upon realizing that the two battles had not happened on their territory.

In fact, Du Xiangyang was even revelling in those people’s misfortune, “Now Black Voodoo Cult and the three great families have no choice but to fight.”

“I’m not sure why, but I actually feel quite… happy to hear this!” Chu Li also let out an odd laugh.

“Black Voodoo Cult and the three great families are obviously planning to preserve their own strength while everyone else is fighting the three ghoul races. Hehe, now that the evil races have entered the Heavenly Calamity Continent, Black Voodoo Cult has no choice but to defend the three great families they view as their vassal forces!” Luo Kexin was also smiling slightly.

Everyone was wearing a relaxed expression on their faces, and even the seniors such as He Yi, Bi You and Tu Mou were stroking their beards with odd expressions on their faces.

“Illusory Demon Sect was under attack too.” Xue Moyan suddenly said softly.

Her words caused everyone to frown and fall silent. No one offered an opinion on this matter.

Xue Moyan looked up and swept a glance across everyone with pure, bright eyes.

She looked downcast upon doing so.

She couldn’t see a shred of worry or anxiety from these people’s eyes or faces at all. She could only see plain indifference.

She suddenly noticed that Shi Xiuling’s abrupt decision to back out of the operation had caused Illusory Demon Sect to be kicked out of this little alliance.

Finally, she turned to look at Qin Lie.

Unfortunately, there was only gravity and stern indifference in Qin Lie’s eyes. She couldn’t find a shred of pity for the Illusory Demon Sect in him at all.
