Spirit Realm

“Crack crack!”

Trillions of rays of light passed through Lieyan Yuan’s body, causing it to explode into pieces.

“Go!”

The Blaze Family’s Flesh Filling Tombstone appeared as Qin Lie commanded.

The chunks of flesh that used to belong to Lieyan Yuan were transformed into massive rivers of bloody energy under the Flesh Filling Tombstone’s power.

The bloody energy entered the Flesh Filling Tombstone.

The moment the Soul Suppressing Orb entered Lieyan Yuan’s mind, he was immediately cut to pieces by the light screens Qin Lie gathered with bloodline power.

Lieyan Yuan died just like that.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The copies Qin Lie made using his blood essences and his soul suddenly melted into bloody shadows before reentering his body.

Several seconds later, the dozens of Qin Lies that had been attacking Lieyan Yuan earlier vanished completely.

The sea of flames slowly dissipated and returned to the chaotic streams of space.

The endless flames Lieyan Yuan attracted in an attempt to recreate the ultimate flame a second time returned to their original places.

The Soul Suppressing Orb slowly appeared after Lieyan Yuan’s flesh and blood was consumed.

“Swhoosh!”

After devouring Lieyan Yuan’s soul, it returned to being Qin Lie’s third eye.

Qin Lie’s glabella quickly healed itself.

The Soul Suppressing Orb submerged into his flesh once more.

“The Soul Suppressing Orb…”

When Qin Lie concentrated, he discovered that the artifact was refining Lieyan Yuan’s soul.

When he tried to look inside the Soul Suppressing Orb, flashes of memories suddenly pounced toward him like stars.

Every memory had an experience recorded in it.

These experiences belonged to the Imperial Soul Monarch, but they merged into his soul with incredible ease.

In that moment, Qin Lie finally believed that Tian Qi’s speculation was true. He really was the reborn Imperial Soul Monarch!

“I see, I see… It has always been me. My imaginary enemy and the target I sought to reach was the old me all this time…”

Qin Lie laughed madly after realizing everything. He then tore open a spatial rift and entered Flaming Sun Purgatory in an instant.

He immediately noticed that the ultimate realm of fire the Flame Devil King's life crystal and the fire spirit had spent much effort to build was on fire.

Right now, the fire spirit was doing everything it could to study and digest the ultimate flame’s power.

However, it was so powerful that the ultimate realm of fire was still crumbling even now.

The good news was that the Flame Devil King's life crystal was slowing down the destruction as much as possible.

Even the Galaxy Mirror was using the star energy from outside to heal the shattered sky again and again.

It took the Galaxy Mirror, the Flame Devil King's life crystal, and the fire spirit to keep the ultimate flame under control barely.

“Qin Lie! What’s going on here? That flame, that flame!”

Tong Yan of the Vermillion Bird Race immediately cried out to him after seeing Qin Lie.

She had no idea what the ultimate flame was, but she could sense the terrifying amount of fiery energy it contained the moment it arrived.

She was sure that no realm in the entire universe could give birth to such a flame naturally.

It was a flame that could burn any star or realm into ashes.

Even she, a rank ten Vermillion Bird, who was born with near perfect immunity toward fire, would probably be burned down to ashes if she dared to touch it.

That was why she sent the low rank Vermillion Birds away the moment the flame appeared.

“It’s fine now.”

Qin Lie looked like a mountain of flesh and he floated in the sky. He looked at her and explained, “Lieyan Yuan’s era is over, and that flame is the only legacy he managed to leave behind. This flame will allow the fire spirit to enter rank ten and become the only god of fire of this entire universe.”

“Is that… the ultimate form of fire?” Tong Yuan exclaimed in shock.

Qin Lie grinned at her and replied, “That’s right.”

He appeared above the Origin Sea after that and slowly sank inside. He planned to take his time to reintegrate his old memories back into his soul.

The moment he entered the Origin Sea completely, he noticed that his body was starting to grow again.

He immediately realized that he had found the way to grow his body to ten thousand meters and become the Abyss Master.

Lieyan Yuan was the key he sought for!

“Qin Lie, what happened? I can feel… that your aura is different from before.”

At the same time, Nine Hells Monarch Auston contacted him through the Abyss’ unique secret art and asked, “I sense a lot of activity from Flaming Sun Purgatory. I can sense the crack in space all the way from Nine Hells Purgatory. What are you doing again?”

“Flaming Sun Monarch, is everything okay on your side?”

“Did someone invade Flaming Sun Purgatory again?”

“Do you need our help?”

The Devil Monarchs of the Abyss Purgatories asked with concerned. They had all sensed the unusual activities coming from Flaming Sun Purgatory.

“Thank you for your concern, everyone, but I’m fine,” Qin Lie said while chuckling in a low tone. “I just killed Lieyan Yuan, and I’m about to grow my body to ten thousand meters with his flesh and blood.”

All seven Devil Monarchs fell silent suddenly.

It was such a shocking statement that none of them knew what was the appropriate thing to say at this moment.

They were powerful, so they were aware just how terrifying and powerful Lieyan Yuan was.

For the last million years or so, Lieyan Yuan and Tian Qi were the only ones who could brazenly operate in their Eight Purgatories and retreat unharmed.

Some of them had even fought against Lieyan Yuan in the past. No one had ever managed to score a point on the old man.

In their opinion, Lieyan Yuan was second only to the Imperial Soul Monarch in the entire universe.

And Qin Lie just told them that he had killed him, and that he was going to use his flesh and blood to become the new Abyss Master.

All seven Devil Monarchs were shocked and terrified by his declaration.

“I will be entering seclusion for a moment. Maybe you’ll learn what had happened and who I really am by the time I awaken.”

Qin Lie cut off his soul connection to the seven Devil Monarchs after giving an enigmatic answer. Then, he sealed off Flaming Sun Purgatory temporarily with the Galaxy Mirror.

Now, no one besides him would be able to enter Flaming Sun Purgatory, not even if they came through the abyss passageway.

He needed to refine his soul fragments and his memories back into his true soul.

The next time he woke up, he’d have become an Abyss Master with a ten-thousand-meter-tall body. He would’ve entered the ultimate realm and be fully awakened!

When the time arrived, he would’ve become the most perfect version of himself!
