Spirit Realm Chapter 765-769

Chapter 765: Invitation

“Everyone, let’s discuss how we should act against the three great ghoul races in the Absolute Yin Graveyard.”

He Yi of Celestial Artifact Sect narrowed his eyes as he motioned for everyone to sit down and discuss.

“Yes, serious matters first.”

“Let’s discuss how to attack.”

“Sit down and talk.”

As they spoke, they sat down around Qin Lie. Smartly, no one discussed Illusory Demon Sect.

Xue Moyan sighed inwardly.

She was from Illusory Demon Sect and had great feelings towards Illusory Demon Sect as well as admiration towards her master, Yu Lingwei. Even though Shi Xiuling and Jiu Ruijie made some decisions detrimental to Blood Fiend Sect, she still hoped that Illusory Demon Sect wasn’t isolated by others.

Especially at this important time when the foreign races were invading.

She knew that Illusory Demon Sect was not as united as other sect. She knew that Wen Bin desired to only replace her master Yu Lingwei and become the sect master of Illusory Demon Sect.

She knew that Shi Xiuling and other elders of the sect were discontent at the connection between her master and her mother.

In a state like this, the Blue Ghoul Race invaded Illusory Demon Sect.

Without the help of this small alliance, Illusory Demon Sect would receive a painful blow.

She did not want this to occur.

“Do not worry too much. Illusory Demon Sect is a silver force, and they will not have too hard a time against one of the three ghoul races,” Chu Li said as he walked close.

“The three-level Soul Altar experts of the three ghoul races are in the firmament above our heads. The battle above is what will truly determine the direction of the Land of Chaos!”

Xue Moyan stilled. After thinking, she nodded slightly and didn’t say anything else.

The group continued to discuss how to attack the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

An hour later, they got back onto their chariots, sedans, spirit birds and flew into the sky.

“Qin Lie, may we talk alone?”

Luo Kexin of Celestial Artifact Sect stood inside a blue crystalline chariot, her eyes shining, as she gave an invitation.

“Talk about what?” Qin Lie said coolly.

“Celestial Artifact Sect hopes to purchase Blaze Profound Bombs from Gray Island!” Luo Kexin said seriously.

Qin Lie was astounded.

“I only knew from these past few days that Gray Island does not belong to Blood Fiend Sect, but rather to you.” Luo Kexin’s bright eyes flashed.

The martial practitioners of other forces in the surroundings were astounded.

In the last year, Gray Island had gained some small fame in the Land of Chaos based on the “Blaze Profound Bomb.” Many forces noticed Gray Island and bought Blaze Profound Bombs through Illusory Demon Sect.

They thought that Gray Island and Bloody Fiend Sect were the one and the same.

Hearing Luo Kexin say this, people were both shocked and puzzled. Did Qin Lie really have something to do with Gray island?

What they didn’t know was since Luo Kexin found that Qin Lie knew how to inscribe ancient diagrams, she had extreme interest in Qin Lie.

In these two days, she used the wide information sources of Celestial Artifact Sect to learn information on Qin Lie.

She learned that Qin Lie was in charge of Gray Island, Blood Island, and Flaming Sun Island. She learned that Qin Lie didn’t have any relationship at all with Blood Fiend Sect, they were just pure allies.

She increasingly felt that Qin Lie contained many secrets.

“Celestial Artifact Sect really wants to purchase Blaze Profound Bombs.” Qin Lie’s mind moved.

“Of course, we can buy according to the market price, and even the price that Illusory Demon Sect gives! You know that Celestial Artifact Sect does not lack spirit stones!” Luo Kexin said proudly.

Illusory Demon Sect purchased Blaze Profound Bombs from Gray Island at a low price and then sold them at a high price. In this recent year, they had earned a great amount.

Illusory Demon Sect’s price was higher than market price but forces still fought over the bombs because the Blaze Profound Bombs were of astounding effect in large battles.

“I wish to agree but unfortunately, we have encountered some obstacles.” Qin Lie motioned for Shen Yue to move closer.

Shen Yue smiled slightly and had the Golden Winged Luan go closer to Luo Kexin’s crystalline chariot to decrease the distance between Qin Lie and Luo Kexin.

“What obstacles?” Luo Kexin pressed.

“The materials we use to forge Blaze Profound Bombs have been limited by Illusory Demon Sect. The forging has stopped recently,” Qin Lie explained.

Luo Kexin’s eyes lit up and then she giggled. “So that is how it is. It seems that this is one of the reason your relationship with Illusory Demon Sect has worsened.”

She guess the truth.

Qin Lie did not refute it. “Yes, because of the foreign race invasion, I had Gray Island transport over all the Blaze Profound Bombs they made. But this way, there were no left to give to Illusory Demon Sect. They cut off their spirit material supply to us, so that the forging of the Blaze Profound Bombs and the cultivation of the martial practitioners have stopped.”

“Transactions of large amounts of spirit materials usually need countless large flying spirit artifacts and large ships. This is also being transported across continents. All of this takes times.” Luo Kexin gave a understanding smile. “Gray Island doesn’t have so many large spirit artifacts, nor transportation ships, or time, right?”

“That could be said.” Qin Lie nodded.

“You do not have them, but my Celestial Artifact Sect does! Also, we have the highest level of item teleportation formations! If we build the highest grade item teleportation formation on Gray Island, all of your present problems will be resolved!” Luo Kexin was full of confidence.

Qin Lie took a deep breath and said, “That is so!’

“Only my grandfather can build the highest grade artifact teleformation.” Luo Kexin smiled brightly.

“I know.” Qin Lie said.

“Then, should we… have a chat after this battle?” Luo Kexin smiled slightly.

“Of course.” Qin Lie agreed.

“Then let’s first do this?”

“Alright.”

The two formed a verbal agreement.

The Golden Winged Luan separated from Luo Kexin’s crystal chariot.

Shen Yue smiled faintly. “It seems that you do not need my help.”

Turning, Qin Lie looked deeply at her and asked, “Senior Sister, how did you prepare to help me?”

“Truthfully, also through Luo Han. Have him build a top tier item teleportation formation on Gray Island.” Shen Yu forced a smile.

“I heard that Luo Han was hard to deal with.”

“Other people are not able to move him, but my grandfather can. He owes my grandfather a favor. If my grandfather goes to find him, he will agree no matter what.”

“So that is how it is.”

“Now it seems you do not need my help. That Luo Kexin is clearly interested in some aspect of you.”

“What aspect?”

“Spirit diagrams, more accurately… ancient diagrams.”

Qin Lie was silent. His thoughts were the same as Shen Yue, he thought that Luo Kexin had come for those.

A few months ago, when he left with the “Five Flame Flowing Light Sword,” Shen Yue and Luo Kexin had both been present.

At the time, Luo Kexin had determined the sword had an ancient diagram.

Right now, the power that the “Five Flame Flowing Light Sword” displayed in Du Xiangyang’s hands showed everything.

He had been the one to take the sword away in the end. He was the master of Gray Island. Gray Island was formed from a group of artificers, and they produced Blaze Profound Bombs.

Everything was clear.

“I will talk with her.” After a while, Qin Lie calmed down and took out meat to eat.

Shen Yue looked deeply at him, nodded and didn’t speak further.

The Golden Winged Luan continued to move forward.

Half a month later.

The chariots, flying sedans, spirit birds, and thousands of human martial practitioners appeared silently in the clouds above the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

Even the loudest crystalline chariots almost didn’t make any sounds.

People deliberately suppressed their energy fluctuations and examined the Absolute Yin Graveyard from the sky.

“It’s a bit cold.” Du Xiangyang frowned.

This was at sunset, and the rose colors filled the sky. Yet when they appeared, they found the sky was dark and without any of the lights of sunset.

Gray clouds shrouded the sky above the Absolute Yin Graveyard. The clouds carried darkness and coldness. The coldness could reach into their consciousness and made people feel ill at ease.

Underneed, there were graves of many sizes. Many graves had been dug open with dark black holes that produced cold and dark wind.

For some reason, everyone felt a thread of coldness after looking at those holes.

“This doesn’t feel the same as before,” Chu Li suddenly said.

“It is not quite right.” a Terminator Sect member who had came here before frowned. “The yin energy here wasn’t so heavy, there weren’t this many holes, nor such coldness that could reach the soul.”

“Of course it is the three great races that are behind this.” Bi You snorted.

Qin Lie was about to speak when his eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn’t stop them.

Inside the Soul Suppressing Orb, the six spirits of Void and Chaos passed through the third and second space through a strange ray of light and wanted to come out.

They seemed extremely hungry.

……

Chapter 766: Absolute Yin Graveyard

The six spirits of Void and Chaos ignored his objections and flew out of the Soul Suppressing Orb as six bright and colorful rays of light in succession.

Qin Lie’s eyes lit up when they appeared. He noticed that they were many times more spirited than they looked before.

Even their shrunk bodies had been restored to the usual size.

“What are these things?” Tian Yu of Ten Thousand Beast Mountains asked in surprise.

The surrounding martial practitioners of the four forces were also staring at the spirits of Void and Chaos in astonishment.

They didn’t seem to recognize the wonder that was a spirit of Void and Chaos.

“It’s nothing. Just six infant beasts.” Qin Lie threw out a random excuse.

He tried to communicate with the spirits of Void and Chaos.

“Yiyayiya!”

When the six spirits of Void and Chaos sensed his inquiry, they let out strange voices as if they were explaining something.

Unfortunately, Qin Lie couldn’t understand what they were saying.

He could detect excitement, astonishment, anxiety, and various other emotions from them.

Like tiny spirit birds, they flew away from Qin Lie and circled above the Absolute Yin Graveyard. They lingered around the holes that were spouting yin energy while looking very happy.

However, they didn’t dare to enter into the holes.

They seemed to be afraid of something.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yue also asked.

“Maybe there really is something strange.” He frowned and took out the Demon Sealing Tombstone. He swiftly dripped a lifeblood essence on the tombstone and attempted to bring up the image of the earth ghoul race hiding underground once more.

Beside him, He Yi and everyone else were staring at him.

A thick gray mist covered the space above the Demon Sealing Tombstone. It covered up everything like an insoluble cloud.

He actually couldn’t detect the three great ghoul races’ movements.

“Wait me for a moment.” His face darkened. His wariness piqued as he secretly channeled the power of his bloodline.

As his blood boiled, he closed his eyes and did his best to sense the marks.

No branded evil races went mad because of the imprints or revealed themselves around the Absolute yin Graveyard.

Qin Lie grew more and more astonished, “I’ve lost track of them. Now I can’t say for certain if the three ghoul races had people hiding inside the graveyard.”

The moment he said this, everyone’s faces turned heavy. Their gazes now became tinted with a bit of wariness.

“Should we just… ignore this place?” Feng Yiyou of Celestial Artifact Sect expressed his opinion.

“We know too little about the Absolute Yin Graveyard, so it’s best if we don’t go too deep inside it. Also, you are the one who said that the Earth Ghoul Race is loved by the earth, are extremely proficient in underground warfare. We shouldn’t head inside.” Luo Kexin said carefully.

“We can leave, sure.” Tu Muo nodded.

“Then we shall abandon this place.” Qin Lie respected and complied to everyone’s wishes.

He gathered his soul consciousness and called out to the six spirits of Void and Chaos, telling them to return to the Soul Suppressing Orb.

“Chipchipjaja! Yiya!”

However, the six spirits of Void and Chaos continued to linger above the Absolute Yin Graveyard and communicate with each other through their unique method. They still weren’t willing to leave.

In fact, they made gestures at Qin Lie as if begging him to do something to the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

Qin Lie grew more and more puzzled.

Judging from the spirits of Void and Chaos’ reactions, there must be something beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard that attracted their attention.

However, they were also afraid of something and didn’t dare to lead the way downward. They were hoping that someone could lead ahead of them.

“Qin Lie?” He Yi exclaimed softly.

“Wait a moment.” Qin Lie frowned deeply.

He sat down on the Golden Winged Luan and pondered for a moment. In the end, he decided to send his soul consciousness down underground and probe around the area.

“Don’t be reckless!” Shen Yue hastily stopped him, “Those evil races are just as proficient with soul power as us. With your level of cultivation, it is highly likely that your True Soul will be pulled in by them if they caught your soul consciousness. The succumbence of one’s soul is most troublesome, and we won’t be able to save you even if we want to! This may be a trap set up by the evil races!”

“Cut the impulse, kid!”

“Your soul isn’t strong enough to probe the Absolute Yin Graveyard!”

“Don’t!”

Everyone was advising him against his choice.

It was at this moment a peak Nirvana Realm expert of the Terminator Sect suddenly raised his eyebrows.

“Eh?!”

Lu Gao looked towards the ast.

A few martial practitioners who reached the late stage of Nirvana Realm also looked at that direction with slightly changed expressions.

“There are evil race clansmen that are rushing their way towards us!”

The group immediately prepared their arms in response while looking anxious.

Qin Lie circulated his bloodline power once more but found nothing out of the ordinary. This was how he knew that there were no branded ghouls in the incoming group.

It was also why he wasn’t able to predict their arrival ahead of time.

A few minutes later.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The sound of floating stones streaking through the air reached them first. Before long, seven huge floating stones appeared before their eyes.

Hundreds of three ghoul races’ clansmen were standing at the top of the bone towers erected above those floating stones. They looked anxious and worried.

They looked obviously surprised when they saw the human group. It didn’t look like they expected to run into them above the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

It was obvious that they weren’t after their group.

“Underground!”

A Heaven Ghoul Race elder glared at them once coldly before he did something no one expected: he pointed at the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

The hundreds of outsiders standing above the bone tower let out shrill howls and charged towards the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

Their targets weren’t the human races but the eerie looking holes that had suddenly appeared above the Absolute Yin Graveyard. They dove straight towards the underground.

The human experts who had just prepared themselves for a fierce battle exchanged puzzled glances with each other, not knowing what on Spirit Realm was going on.

A while later, Qin Lie rubbed his nose and said with an odd expression, “It doesn’t look like they’ve come for us.”

“Does that mean… that there is an enemy they hated even more than us beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard?” Lu Gao looked just as confused.

“Last time we saw a lot of evil races hiding beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard on the Demon Sealing Tombstone,” Chu Li looked startled, “Could it be that those people were met with something?”

Now that he mentioned it, everyone thought quickly and gradually came to the same conclusion: the evil races beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard most definitely had encountered some troubles!

“The Absolute Yin Graveyard used to be a place where Moon Worshipping Cult buried their dead, and Moon Worshipping Cult itself was the greatest evil cult to exist on the Land of Chaos several thousand years ago. No one can deny that the Moon Worshipping Cult once ruled this land, and we know little about this evil cult too. We don’t even know why they suddenly declined.” He Yi of Celestial Artifact Sect said with a serious look on his face.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

Suddenly, the six spirits of Void and Chaos who refused to return to the Soul Suppressing Orb all this time noticed the outsiders slipping underground and trailed behind them. They slipped all the way to the bottom while they were still talking.

The moment they vanished from Qin Lie’s sight, a most profound connection was built between Qin Lie and them. They transmitted the scenes they saw to him like videos.

In an instant, it was as if Qin Lie had gained six new pairs of eyes. He could see everything the six spirits of Void and Chaos saw.

His brain suddenly felt a little confused. All kinds of images were slipping past his head, keeping him from differentiating which were the images he was seeing and which were the images coming from the spirits of Void and Chaos.

He couldn’t help but close his eyes.

“Wait! Wait a moment! I can look underground now!” He exclaimed while his eyes were closed.

The martial practitioners gathered around him shuddered when they heard this.

They were all looking at him like he was a monster.

“What else can you not do?” Luo Kexin of the Celestial Artifact Sect said quietly.

It was a sentiment echoed by many other people.

Qin Lie could see what the evil races were doing, trigger the imprints inside their body, and even use the Thunderblitz wood to increase the power of the Profound Thunder Heart and kill the evil races en masse.

Now, he was claiming that he could see into the underground of the Absolute Yin Graveyard from the ground surface.

He was even doing it with his eyes closed.

Everything he thing looked strange and unbelievable. The astonishment in their hearts kept growing bigger and bigger. wanting to know what else he could do.

In fact, the better question was what couldn’t he do?

The six spirits of Void and Chaos continued to venture deep into the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

The scene that greeted Qin Lie were gray and dark images. He could see some empty underground stone chambers in the brighter images, and in those chambers he saw dry bones, rotten corpses, bottles, jars, and unknown evil formations.

Piles of dry bones and rotten corpses could be found on some of those evil formations. There were also all kinds of strange materials everywhere.

Most of these materials were either bones with phosphoric poison inside them, the innards of evil creatures or spirit beasts, heads, and many more obviously highly toxic plants.

It was obvious that someone in Moon Worshipping Cult had performed all kinds of evil rituals in the underground palaces of the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

It was a style of ritual that was completely different from Yue Ji, Ye Ji, and Shui Ji’s.

The six spirits of Void and Chaos continued to travel down further.

Suddenly, an image transmitted by the Fire Qilin spirit of Void and Chaos drew all of his attention.

Chapter 767: Graveyard of Evil Dragons

Deep inside the Absolute Yin Graveyard where a vast stone palace could be found, dozens of evil race clansmen were clutching their heads and screaming loudly.

They were seated at the center of an altar made of clean jadestone.

The heads and cores of many spirit beasts and decrepit spirit artifacts that glowed green in color were put above the altar.

A faint green bubble had enveloped the entire altar.

Right now, those Heaven Ghoul, Earth Ghoul, and Blue Ghoul clansmen were clutching their heads with bulging eyes.

Qin Lie could see clearly that their souls were floating uncontrollably out of their body bit by bit.

They were wisps of outsider souls.

The souls were fused into the altar as ghastly shadows flickered.

The faint green bubble enveloping the altar abruptly shrank and changed form continuously. The ripples on the bubble grew more and more turbulent.

Countless tiny soul tendrils slowly appeared from the gaps beneath the altar and entered into the concentrated green cloud.

It didn’t take long before a soul in the shape of a dragon was slowly formed.

The dragon soul looked blurry, and it seemed to be searching for something as it roamed around the altar.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Very soon, the beast bones, cores and decrepit spirit artifacts were fused into the dragon soul.

The dragon soul slowly swelled as dark sparks became scattered to the surroundings. Powerful energy rippled from inside the dragon soul.

“Crack crack crack!”

The altar beneath the dragon soul abruptly shattered into countless pieces.

“Roar!”

A dragon’s roar abruptly resounded from beneath the shattered altar. An evil dragon that was dark brown in color and dozens of meters long was abruptly revealed.

The dragon soul above the altar sank.

And submerged into the evil dragon’s body completely.

The gray brown evil dragon twisted its body with a bit of rustiness before flapping its unique feathered wings and flew out of the room, roaring.

The palace where the evil dragon once was exploded into smithereens instantly.

About a hundred or so three ghoul races’ clansmen were operating around the area. They hastily rushed over to attack the emerging evil dragon the second they saw it.

The evil dragon roared and spat out green flames from its mouth. The flames contained a high concentration of corrosive aura.

Many three ghoul races’ clansmen who were touched by the green flames immediately started melting as flesh and skin fell off their bodies.

The evil dragon seized the opportunity to grab these heavily injured evil race clansmen and tossed them all into his mouth, chewing.

The bloody battle here was just starting.

Another image appeared in Qin Lie’s mind, and although it was a scene that was similar to this bloody battle, it was a lot fiercer.

Inside an underground palace that was even bigger than the one Qin Lie saw earlier, the corpses that belonged the three ghoul races could be seen everywhere. A grand total of six evil dragons were letting out violent roars inside this palace while spitting black flames, icy breaths and dark green poison.

Hundreds of three ghoul race clansmen—even the weakest among them were at least Netherpassage Realm—were surrounding the six evil dragons tightly and doing their best to kill them.

While a lot of three ghoul race clansmen were killed in the process, they managed to leave many wounds on the six evil dragons.

The battle was fiercer than ever before.

More images appeared in his head thanks to the six spirits of Void and Chaos.

There was a third underground palace beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard where two groups of three ghoul races’ clansmen were fighting another two evil dragons.

The final image he saw was that of a dead evil dragon surrounded by five Nirvana Realm experts and dozens of helpers of the three ghoul races.

The three ghoul races’ clansmen looked as excited as madman as they pounced towards the evil dragon like flies to rotten meat, taking chunks of bloody flesh from the beast with every mouthful.

The scene was incredibly bloody.

“Before the Absolute Yin Graveyard was discovered by Moon Worshipping Cult and used as a place to conduct their evil rituals, this place was probably a dragon’s graveyard! It is the graveyard of evil dragons!” Qin Lie suddenly said.

Right now, the experts of all four forces were gathered around him and observing his every movement.

When they heard his random claim, they grew astonished and hastily asked for the reason he said so.

“Right now, the three ghoul races’ clansmen were engaged in fierce battle against a dozen or so evil dragons deep beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard!” Qin Lie inhaled deeply and withdrew his mind temporarily. He forced himself to ignore the images being transmitted by the six spirits of Void and Chaos and reopened his eyes, “In the past, Moon Worshipping Cult discovered this dragon’s graveyard and built the Absolute Yin Graveyard above it to hide its existence. Not only that, Moon Worshipping Cult even conducted all kinds of evil rituals in attempt to help them regenerate their soul thoughts through the collecting of soul fragments.”

“I don’t know how this turned out to be, but at any rate there are a dozen or so evil dragons at the dragon’s graveyard beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard right now.”

“Many of the three ghoul races’ clansmen were torn and devoured by the evil dragons, but they also managed to kill one in return and are devouring its flesh and blood.”

When he was done, the human experts around him sucked in a deep breath of shock.

“Evil dragons? Living evil dragons? And dozens of them, you say?”

“The evil dragons are an evil offshoot of the Giant Dragon Race. They seem to be a mutation of the pure dragon race. Unlike the Giant Dragon race, they have feathered wings behind their backs. They have sharp claws and are normally brutal, vicious, immoral and bloodthirsty.”

“Evil dragons are hated even by giant dragons. Whenever they commit evil, it is the giant dragons who mobilize first to kill them all. So how are there a dozen or so evil dragons hiding beneath the Absolute Yin Graveyard?”

“The three ghoul races are a pain already, but now even the evil dragons have reared their heads! Dammit!”

The crowd discussed with serious looks on their faces.

“What do you guys think? Should we continue deeper into Prism Continent?” Qin Lie asked.

They frowned.

“This may not necessarily be bad news.” Shen Yue suddenly said.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards her.

“At the very least, the evil dragons are fighting the three ghoul races right now!” Shen Yue smiled.

“The flesh and blood of the evil dragons are probably very useful to the great sages’ recovery. Moreover, they probably give great benefits to the three ghoul races’ Fragmentation Realm and Nirvana Realm experts.” Qin Lie concluded from his observation, “They’re probably trying to hunt down these evil dragons.”

“So you’re saying that the three ghoul races would be able to recover swiftly if they were to succeed in their hunt of the evil dragons?” He Yi said worriedly.

“I believe so.” Qin Lie nodded.

“The situation is a little troublesome then.” He Yi frowned.

The underground even deeper than the Absolute Yin Graveyard was a cold and lightless domain. Here, neither the evil dragons nor the three ghoul races were affected by the environment in the slightest.

On the other hand, they were completely unfamiliar with this environment. They would definitely suffer heavy losses if they were to join the battle recklessly.

They couldn’t interfere with the battle happening below.

While they were thinking, another group of three ghoul race clansmen about five hundred strong flew over on floating rocks again.

These martial practitioners all stared at the humans upon arriving at this place. After a brief moment of hesitation, they charged wordlessly towards the underground in a flash.

They moved so quickly that it was as if they were afraid that the humans would stop them from entering.

“It would appear that the evil dragons below are far more important to them than us!” Du Xiangyang exclaimed in amazement.

“A human’s physical body contained only a small amount of refined flesh and blood energy compared to evil dragons. To them, the evil dragons are the real tonics that could help them recover swiftly!” Qin Lie added.

“How goes the battle below?” He Yi asked seriously.

Qin Lie closed his eyes once more.

Borrowing the eyes of the six spirits of Void and Chaos, he observed the battle situation underground and noticed that they were devouring the shattered rocks of the altar.

Every altar seemed to hide an evil dragon underneath because evil ritual needed to be performed to draw in souls and awaken the evil dragons.

If the evil dragons were to break out of the altar, the altar would certainly explode into smithereens and scatter everywhere in the surroundings.

It would appear that these rock fragments were exactly what the spirits of Void and Chaos were looking for. They were the reason the spirits of Void and Chaos had insisted to stay.

The battle between the evil dragons and the three ghoul races were bloody and intense. No one had the time to pay attention to the six spirits of Void and Chaos.

Moreover, the spirits of Void and Chaos were beings that existed between the planes of void and reality. They had also hidden themselves on purpose amidst the dark underground environment, so even less attention were paid to them.

They were seizing the opportunity to eat to their hearts’ content.

From their bodies, Qin Lie could see occasional sparkles that was invisible to all eyes but his own. These sparkles were the reflection of a rich and pure single attribute energy manifested in real form.

Qin Lie suddenly had a premonition that the six spirits of Void and Chaos would be able to evolve for real after today’s feeding!

“The battle down there is still in a deadlock. In fact, it seems like… the evil dragons have a slight upper hand.” Qin Lie reopened his eyes after a moment of observation.

“Alright, then let us guard the Absolute Yin Graveyard’s entrance!” He Yi pondered for a moment and said, “We must stop more three ghoul races’ clansmen from going underground!”

“That’s a good idea!”

“Let’s do as you say!”

“Alright!”

Everyone expressed their agreement to the plan.

Chapter 768: Ancient Artificer!

The sky gradually darkened.

The martial practitioners of the four great Silver forces descended from the clouds and spread out around the entrances of the Absolute Yin Graveyard, waiting patiently.

A lot of large, bright banners, stone pillars and strange glittering metallic threads were placed at the entrances of the holes spouting cold energy.

Special formations of special uses were created using these items.

Qin Lie was also situated at one of the holes.

Qin Lie sat at the center of the eight Thunderblitz Trees that were erected around him like sky pillars.

Not a ray of sunlight was able to enter the Absolute Yin Graveyard even when it was broad daylight, so the place became pitch black after night arrived.

It was literally so dark they couldn’t see their own fingers.

The cold energy exiting the holes of the Absolute Yin Graveyard grew icier and icier.

In fact, it became so cold that the group had no choice but gather their spirit energy and form shields, fire rings or ignite Heavenly Flame Crystals to resist the cold.

The flames illuminated the pitch black Absolute Yin Graveyard and allowed people not far away to see each other.

Time trickled bit by bit.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Suddenly, two figures were ignited by terrific blaze far into the sky.

Qin Lie’s bloodline boiled as he gathered his strength and penetrated the Thunderblitz wood with lightning immediately.

“The three ghoul races’ clansmen have arrived!” He reminded everyone.

The moment he said this, wisps of blue light immediately connected the eight Thunderblitz Trees together like tightly knitted ropes.

Lightning swam under the control of his soul consciousness, and he inscribed a composite spirit diagram using the ancient diagram as base in no time at all.

“Kill them!”

An evil and stern voice rang from the distance.

The group of five hundred or so three ghoul races’ clansmen riding on floating rocks had burned because they had the blaze imprint inside them. This also meant that the remnant of the Blaze Family was around the area.

They immediately figured out that the human race was around here somewhere.

When they got closer and saw that the Absolute Yin Graveyard was illuminated by bright flames, they grew even certain that the human had arrived harboring malicious intentions.

“Kill them all!” He Yi also ordered.

In an instant, hundreds of dazzling and colorful lights were fired from the holes and into the air.

Flying lights brimming with tremendous energy were also shot out of the special spirit artifacts made of giant banners, stone pillars and metallic threads.

Dozens of three ghoul races’ clansmen were cut through by the flowing light and killed before their bodies even hit the ground.

Another dozen or so floating rocks exploded because they were struck by the flowing light too.

The three ghoul races’ clansmen screamed and charged downward.

“Thump!”

The dull thump of a heartbeat suddenly rippled out from inside the eight slabs of Thunderblitz wood, and a dozen or so Netherpassage Realm enemy martial practitioners instantly screamed, vomited blood and died under the attack.

Their eyes were lightless, and a scorched black holes appeared where their hearts were.

Because their hearts weren’t able to endure the thunderous impact, they exploded and killed their hosts instantly.

The eight slabs of Thunderblitz wood were swimming with lightning that joined together to create a spirit diagram that looked like the starry sky.

Deep in the night, the glowing threads that were lightning in form were so bright that it pained the surrounding people’s eyes a little.

While the spirit diagram might not look all that beautiful, eye catching or dazzling during daytime, it was the complete opposite at night.

Beneath the composite spirit diagram, Qin Lie gripped his hands tightly as he conjured the Profound Thunder Heart spirit art. He refined his strength continuously to gradually build up the gigantic Profound Thunder Heart thumping beside him!

“This is…”

He Yi, master artificer of Celestial Artifact Sect, stared closely at the spirit diagram above Qin Lie’s head with great astonishment on his face.

The composite spirit diagram above Qin Lie’s head was dazzling, unbelievably complicated, and contained an unimaginable of wonders.

At night, the spirit diagram truly looked like the stars that illuminated the night sky.

“He’s not just an artificer… he’s an ancient artificer who can inscribe ancient diagrams!” Luo Kexin said softly.

He Yi shook as the light of disbelief erupted from his eyes, “You knew this from the beginning?”

“Mm.” Luo Kexin lowered her voice and explained, “A few days ago, he helped Du Xiangyang repair a flying sword. I’ve seen that flying sword before, and the spirit diagram inscribed inside the weapon is an ancient spirit diagram. At the time, I concluded that no one on the Land of Chaos can fix the weapon, because there exists no one even in Celestial Artifact Sect who is well versed in ancient spirit diagrams.”

“I have noticed Du Xiangyang’s flying sword. Unless I’m sorely mistaken, I believe that it is probably a Heaven Grade spirit artifact. I had wondered why Heavenly Sword Mountain was willing to gift an early stage Fulfillment Realm kid a Heaven Grade spirit artifact.” He Yi exclaimed in realization.

“That is the flying sword alright.” Luo Kexin affirmed.

“Ancient spirit diagrams, ancient artificer!” He Yi looked extremely excited.

“If I’m right, the Blaze Profound Bombs forged by Gray Island probably had something to do with him too.” Luo Kexin continued, “Although the Blaze Profound Bomb forged by Gray Island seemed like a variation of the Terminator Profound Bomb, my research revealed that some of the techniques used to refine the Blaze Profound Bombs had exceeded the original Terminator Profound Bomb. This is especially true when it comes to the spirit diagrams!”

“Are you saying…?” He Yi exclaimed.

“Yes, I asked my grandfather to break through the exterior restriction of the Blaze Profound Bomb so that we can look inside it.” Luo Kexin nodded.

“Does it have an ancient spirit diagram too?!” He Yi’s eyes lit up.

“That’s right!” Luo Kexin nodded again.

“I understood.” He Yi inhaled deeply.

When He Yi looked at Qin Lie once more, his eyes were filled with the light of excitement.

“Once we’ve cleaned up these outsiders, I wish to speak with him properly and see if we can cooperate with Gray Island.” Luo Kexin suggested tentatively.

“Of course you should! An artificer who knows ancient spirit diagrams will revolutionize the times of artifact forging on the Land of Chaos!” He Yi exclaimed in a low tone.

“Thump! Thump thump!”

Above Qin Lie’s head, the gigantic Profound Thunder Heart continued to let out fearsome heartbeats.

The spirit art was like a giant hammer of god that struck the hearts of the three ghoul races’ clansmen again and again, destroying them and causing the enemy martial practitioners to fall from the sky.

The human martial practitioners gathered above the Absolute Yin Graveyard numbered several thousand strong, not to mention that they had set up many spirit artifacts and strange formations beforehand to attack their enemies.

The three ghoul races’ clansmen who rushed over from the distance numbered only five hundred or so. Therefore, they quickly lost more than half their numbers after several charges.

When the remaining three ghoul races’ clansmen noticed that the situation was bad, they left behind only the Earth Ghoul clansmen to enter the ground and burrow their way towards the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

The Blue Ghoul clansmen and Heaven Ghoul clansmen immediately pulled away from the Absolute Yin Graveyard to summon even more people.

“We’ve killed at least three hundred people!”

“Just wait! They will definitely send more reinforcements over!”

“I don’t think we need to head to the center of Prism Continent anymore!”

“……”

“Why didn’t the Earth Ghoul clansmen take their Heaven Ghoul clansmen and Blue Ghoul race clansmen along to burrow into the Absolute Yin Graveyard from outside?” Tian Yu of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain asked in puzzlement.

Qin Lie cast a glance at her and said, “The underground of the Absolute Yin Graveyard is different from others. What I know is that there exists many layers of yin energy that looks like barriers inside the ground beneath us. These layers of yin energy are so powerful that even the Earth Ghoul clansmen will find it very difficult to break through. Therefore, they weren’t able to bring the Heaven Ghoul clansmen and Blue Ghoul clansmen in with them at all.”

“Got it.” Tian Yu smiled.

Qin Lie nodded and took a liking of Tian Yu. He added, “The reason the Earth Ghoul clansmen wanted to get in from these holes is because they don’t want to waste too much energy in breaking through the yin energy seals underground.”

Although he had fought an intense battle against Tian Yu earlier and even hurt her with his bloodline, Tian Yu hadn’t reacted with hatred like he expected her to be. In fact, she acted like nothing had happened at all.

It was as if Tian Yu paid no mind over the outcome of that fair battle.

“Qin Lie, why don’t you look underground once more?” Du Xiangyang called out to him.

“Mm.”

Qin Lie withdrew his power of thunder and lightning and closed his eyes once more. He concentrated his soul consciousness back to the underground.

Suddenly, he realized that there was only one image that was being transmitted by the six spirits of Void and Chaos.

This meant that the six spirits of Void and Chaos had gathered together.

They were currently at an unbelievably vast stone palace with a ceiling that was at least a hundred meters tall. There were huge pillars everywhere inside this palace.

At the center of this stone palace, there was a altar that was at least a hundred fields wide with many giant skulls, carcasses, eerie looking spirit artifacts and strange spirit herbs placed above it.

He could see ninety nine narrow but long ditches that stretched towards the altar like ninety nine streams.

Thick liquid of black, dark green, blood red and dark blue color were running inside these ditches towards the altar. The liquid obviously contained souls of varied strength, and upon closer attention Qin Lie could see that there were shadows concealed inside the liquid.

“What are those things?” Qin Lie sensed carefully.

The weak wisps of shadow slowly revealed their true form under his careful observation.

It was the soul of a mortal!

The weak shadows were the souls of mortals, whereas the stronger shadows were the souls of martial practitioners!

Somehow, the ninety nine ditches were carrying an unbelievable amount of souls from god knows where towards the giant altar.

Above the altar, the pile of blurry shadows looked like they were gathering together and attempting to take form. The clear image of a dragon soul was being built slowly.

This soul altar was also performing an evil ritual which purpose was to awaken or summon an evil dragon.

Moreover, this evil dragon was obviously far stronger than the evil dragons that had awakened earlier!

The six spirits of Void and Chaos were scattered at various corners of the altar and looking at it anxiously.

They seemed to be waiting for the moment the evil dragon awakens and the altar explodes so that they could devour the shattered rocks later.

This altar was situated at the deepest part of the underground, so not even the three ghoul races’ clansmen had discovered it yet.

The altar was drawing in soul thoughts and dark shadows through the ninety nine ditches and recreating the dragon’s soul.

Qin Lie was incredibly amazed by the process as he observed the altar and attempted to figure out its secrets from the eyes of the six spirits of Void and Chaos.

Beside the altar, numerous tiny characters that were as small as earthworms wriggled, swam, glowed and appeared into existence.

“G—il—be—rt…”

Qin Lie subconsciously muttered the words from above the Absolute Yin Graveyard when he saw the wriggling words.

This was an evil dragon with a true name!

Only a rank eight evil dragon would be named leader of the evil dragons and granted a true name that belonged to no one but itself.

All evil dragons who possessed a true name were not to be underestimated.

Chapter 769: Gilbert

The dragon soul gathering above the altar was still blurry and wobbly. It would appear that it needed some time before it could regain its full form.

The six spirits of Void and Chaos continued to wait anxiously beside the altar.

Their strength wasn’t enough to shatter the altar. Therefore, they couldn’t devour the precious spirit materials that made up the altar into their stomachs.

That was why they could do nothing but wait.

“What’s going on down there, Qin Lie?” Du Xiangyang asked.

The martial practitioners of the four great Silver rank forces were all staring passionately at him. They all wanted to know what was going on down there.

“I see a gigantic altar that seems to be circulating yet. It seems to be remaking an evil dragon that possesses a true name.” Qin Lie said solemnly with closed eyes.

“An evil dragon with a true name? That has to be a rank eight spirit beast at minimum! It’s the equivalent of our Imperishable Realm martial practitioners!” The knowledgeable He Yi exclaimed.

“The battle situation underground would shift greatly the moment he awakens!” Shen Yue said excitedly.

They all noticed that the three ghoul races’ clansmen hadn’t send any Soul Altar experts over here.

In fact, every human and three ghoul race Soul Altar experts were currently involved in the battle above the sky.

That battle was the true battle that shifted the tides of war. The victor of the sky battle could easily dictate the battle situation on the ground.

Therefore, the underground conflict and the war of Prism Continent was a lot less important to the battle going on above their heads.

“It will be great if this evil dragon awakens.” He Yi also felt hopeful.

“It looks like he needs a powerful soul thought in order to awaken. Right now, he’s drawing in soul thoughts using the altar from other areas.” Qin Lie observed quietly and added, “He will awaken. It is only a matter of when.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Guard this place well and ensure that none of the outsiders enter underground through the Absolute Yin Graveyard!” He Yi ordered.

“Understood!”

“Let me see if I can see what the three ghoul races are doing.”

He pondered for a moment and opened his eyes. Then, he withdrew his soul consciousness from the underground and took out the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

He gathered a drop of lifeblood essence and dripped it onto the Demon Sealing Tombstone. He was going to inscribe the Blaze Family’s imprint.

However, something unusual happened when his lifeblood essence touched the tombstone this time.

The seven godly lights abruptly flew of the tombstone and entered the holes of the Absolute Yin Graveyard like rainbows.

On one end, the seven godly lights were connected to the Demon Sealing Tombstone. On the other, they were swiftly extending towards the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

Qin Lie was shocked by this.

In just a dozen or so seconds, he suddenly noticed that the seven divine lights had reached the deepest part of the Absolute Yin Graveyard and were converging at the altar where the slumbering evil dragon was.

The seven godly lights landed on the altar like great rivers as innumerable brilliant and sparkling divine characters were injected into the altar from the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

The altar abruptly brightened like a lamp.

The converging pieces of dragon soul looked like they had gained a tremendous amount of divine power in an instant. Innumerable nameless divine characters became imprinted into the evil dragon’s soul in an instant too.

The form of the dragon soul that should’ve taken a long time to fully converge and appear suddenly became clear as the beast skulls, beast cores, spirit artifact fragments and other offerings suddenly vanished into the altar.

“Crack!”

The altar broke like a mirror as cracks appeared all over its surface. The cracks grew longer and more obvious as they swam like slithering snakes.

“Bang!”

The altar exploded in the end.

A loud and heroic dragon roar rang from beneath the altar while the six spirits of Void and Chaos were busy snatching the pieces of the altar like crazed monsters.

At the same time, the dragon soul hanging above the altar abruptly sank to the bottom.

“Roar!”

An evil dragon with sinister horns that was more than a hundred meters long spread its wings and flew out of the giant stone palace in terrific commotion.

“Lord Gilbert has awakened!”

“Our lord has awakened!”

“He finally woke up!”

Every evil dragon scattered in separate underground palaces roared and cheered in the language of dragons excitedly when they heard their lord’s roar.

The evil dragon Gilbert responded with an angry roar too.

“You damnable reptiles! How dare you return to Spirit Realm after we accidentally let some of you slip thirty thousand years ago! Kill them all!”

Gilbert charged out of the stone palace and charged right into the center of conflict where the three ghoul races and evil dragons were fighting. It flapped its wings and swung its claws everywhere.

Dozens of Earth Ghoul clansmen were instantly torn to shreds and turned into fleshy bits by Gilbert.

While chewing the flesh of the three ghoul races’ clansmen and swearing loudly, Gilbert also breathed green flames at his hated enemies. Everywhere, the three ghoul races’ clansmen melted like they were submerged in a pool of sulfuric acid the moment they were touched by the flames.

Countless ghouls were turned into bloody skeletons in no time at all.

Gilbert continued to attack towards all directions and slaughtered everything in sight. Due to his awakening, the battle situation turned from a draw to a one-sided victory.

The three ghoul races’ clansmen were either torn apart by Gilbert’s claws or melted by his green flames. They died in droves under his attacks.

The one dozen or so evil dragons joined Gilbert to attack back and forth inside the underground palaces.

Very soon, the three ghoul races that had slipped to the underground of the Absolute Yin Graveyard noticed that everything was going wrong for them.

The remaining martial practitioners began running away with all their might as they tried to return to the earth surface.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

The seven godly lights unleashed by the Demon Sealing Tombstone returned from the underground as Qin Lie abruptly opened his eyes.

“What is it?” the group hastily asked.

“The evil dragon with a true name has awakened!” Qin Lie exclaimed.

Everyone looked pleasantly surprised. He Yi looked at the withdrawing godly light of the Demon Sealing Tombstone with a pondering look on his face.

“Does his swift awakening has something to do with the seven godly lights?” Luo Kexin exclaimed in astonishment.

Qin Lie nodded slightly.

“In the ancient times, during the War of the Hundred Races, although a large majority of the races had joined forces to fight against the Heaven Fighting Race, a few races still chose to serve the Heaven Fighting Race loyally as their masters.” He Yi rubbed his chin while looking at the Demon Sealing Tombstone. Suddenly, he said, “The Evil Dragon Race was one of the Heaven Fighting Race’s most loyal pawns. They once swore an eternal oath of loyalty to the Heaven Fighting Race.”

Everyone looked at him in astonishment when he said this.

He Yi continued to explain, “An evil dragon is naturally cruel, war-like, bloodthirsty, obscene, base and shameless…”

“You basically won’t find much merits to speak of from this race. In fact, the only trait they have that can be considered a merit is that they keep to their promises. As long as the promise is made by their ancestors, they will never go back against the promise even in death.”

“When the Heaven Fighting Race first invaded the Spirit Realm, it was said that the Evil Dragon Race was one of the greatest opposing powers of the time. They brought huge trouble to the Heaven Fighting Race, and they never stopped fighting the Heaven Fighting Race even when the human race, the Giant Dragon Race, the Ancient Beast race, the Dark Nether Race, and the Asura Race had submitted to the Heaven Fighting Race.”

“In the end, it seems like the Heaven Fighting Race’s leader at the time finally managed to sway the leader of the Evil Dragon Race.”

“After the evil race had sworn loyalty to the Heaven Fighting Race, they became a bloody spear in the Heaven Fighting Race’s hands and fought at the frontline alongside them.”

“Later on, after the Heaven Fighting Race had dominated all the races and became ruler of Spirit Realm, the Evil Dragon Race was hailed as the greatest contributor of the war and was highly regarded by the Heaven Fighting Race. They were granted vast domains and many auxiliary worlds.”

“When the hundred races rose to fight against the Heaven Fighting Race, the Evil Dragon Race remained loyal to the Heaven Fighting Race and fought hard against the hundred races.”

“In the end, the evil races suffered huge losses and fell quiet after the Heaven Fighting Race escaped to the space of outer realms. No one knows if they have gone extinct or merely went into hiding. Of course, some people also said that they had left Spirit Realm alongside the Heaven Fighting Race.”

He Yi set his gaze on Qin Lie after the explanation, “The Demon Sealing Tombstone is the Heaven Fighting Race’s artifact. Maybe it shared a connection with the evil dragons and therefore aided it in awakening ahead of time.”

Qin Lie nodded after the initial surprise, “That evil dragon is leading its people and slaughtering the ghouls right now. In fact, they’re almost done killing everyone inside. The rest were doing their best to escape from the place. I think it’s our time to act now.”

“Mm, you’re right. Everyone, seal the entrances and kill all of the ghouls that make it to the top!” He Yi ordered.

He was a master artificer and was highly respected among the people. That was why people obeyed his words easier.

“Should we leave soon after we kill the escaping ghouls? That evil dragon with a true name isn’t something we can deal with.” Tu Muo said.

“That is the plan!”

And so the martial practitioners of the four forces spread out again above the Absolute Yin Graveyard.

Every time they saw a clansman of the three ghoul races emerging from the underground holes, they would immediately greet them with countless spirit artifacts and attacks.

The three ghoul races’ clansmen who fought so hard to make it to the surface died horribly under their attacks.

An hour later, no ghoul was still living underground, and none made it to the surface alive either.

They were killed either by the evil dragons or the humans above the ground.

Surprisingly, the evil dragons didn’t charge out of the Absolute Yin Graveyard after killing the three ghoul races’ clansmen. They continued to hide underground.

Worried that those dragons would switch targets to them, the group waited for a moment but didn’t see any dragons emerging from the entrances. They all let out a secret sigh of relief.

“What do we do now?” The group turned to look at He Yi.

He Yi couldn’t help but frown.

Right now, the evil dragon Gilbert was crawling inside a stone palace while his subordinates were eating the flesh of the ghouls.

A wisp of soul energy appeared vaguely and ephemerally inside the stone palace.

Gilbert’s dark green eyes glowed with intimidating light. He seemed to be searching for something inside the stone palace.

Deep inside his pupils, tiny divine character seemed to be gathering and assembling themselves.

A while later, the divine character suddenly joined together to form a Blaze Family imprint.

He shook abruptly when that happened.

Almost at the same time, Qin Lie who was still above the Absolute Yin Graveyard felt his bloodline boil.

The divine character flew like butterflies inside his blood, speaking to him something that only he knew.

He closed his eyes and scoured for the profound knowledge hidden inside bloodline with every bit of soul consciousness, extracting them for his own use.

“Everyone, do you guys want to leave for the center of Prism Continent or someplace else?” A long time later, he opened his eyes and looked at the crowd, “I need to meet an evil dragon inside the underground stone palace of the Absolute Yin Graveyard.”
