Spirit Realm

Chapter 1809: The End of An Era!

“You have no hope of entering the ultimate realm without that flame, do you?”

Qin Lie slowly returned to a corporeal state after the ultimate flame was sealed in Flaming Sun Purgatory.

He suddenly relaxed.

He was sure that Lieyan Yuan’s key to entering the ultimate realm lay within that ultimate flame.

To lose it was to lose the foundation of one’s breakthrough. Unless Lieyan Yuan could regain that flame, he would never be able to surpass his current level.

Moreover, Flaming Sun Purgatory was Qin Lie’s creation. He had sent the Flame Devil King's life crystal, the Galaxy Mirror, and the fire spirit all into Flaming Sun Purgatory to keep the ultimate flame under control.

Two of the most powerful Divine Grade artifacts and the most mysterious lifeform in the universe, the fire spirit, should be enough to hold that flame in Flaming Sun Purgatory permanently.

All that was left to do now was killing Lieyan Yuan with his physical body.

“I will create another ultimate flame even if the universe itself collapses, and fire were to disappear from the world forever!”

Lieyan Yuan roared on top of his lungs as spatial rifts appeared all around him.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

He breathed deeply as his bloodline boiled up again.

Every time he breathed, his body burned brighter with fire. It was as if he had become the heart of fire itself, pulling fire toward him from every corner of the universe.

“Crack crack!”

“Rumble rumble!”

Countless realms with the power of fire in them started crumbling throughout the universe even faster than before.

Qin Lie could feel the flames being pulled into the chaotic streams of space by Lieyan Yuan’s power.

Lieyan Yuan was going to use the same method to create another ultimate flame!

It wasn’t just because he couldn’t be able to achieve a breakthrough without it. He knew Qin Lie would kill him unless he had another ultimate flame.

Of course, he was aware what this would do to the universe’s reserves of fire energy.

He knew he was causing even more realms to collapse.

But the consequences didn’t matter to him in the slightest!

“Stop it. You’ve committed enough sins already.” Qin Lie snorted coldly.

“Like I care about that,” Lieyan Yuan said while laughing savagely. “I don’t care if the universe itself dies, and trillions of races vanish because of my breakthrough!”

“The world has meaning because I am alive!”

“If I must die, then I’m bringing the universe down with me!”

“Swhoosh swhoosh!”

Burning hot light flew out of the chaotic streams of space and gathered around Lieyan Yuan once more.

“People like you will always be a hidden threat to the universe." Qin Lie let out a dejected sigh.

An idea entered his mind, and blood as pure as crystals flew out of his palm.

Dark wisps of light flew out of Qin Lie’s pupils and entered the blood.

The blood beads were the essences of Qin Lie’s blood, and the dark wisps of light, his soul.

The beads grew bigger until they transformed into copies of Qin Lie.

The copies all had flesh, blood, and soul.

They might only be as big as a human, but they numbered by the dozens.

The Qin Lies scattered around Lieyan Yuan like sharks.

“Bloodline Splinter!”

Dozens of Qin Lie shouted in unison, and their bloodline auras suddenly became completely different.

One Qin Lie transformed into a high rank Abyss Devil, another started glowing with the aura of Profound Ice Family member. There was also a Qin Lie with the wings of a Winged Race clansman, and another one who was made of bones only just like a Bone Race clansman.

It was as if dozens of rank ten bloodline warriors had appeared out of nowhere.

Their bodies and even their faces were completely different from before.

However, the appearance and the light in their eyes still clearly belonged to Qin Lie.

“Bloodline Shackle!”

Suddenly, dozens of bloodline energies and laws of power emanated from the copies.

The divine light made of many bloodline powers condensed into thick, glowing chains before flying toward Lieyan Yuan.

Lieyan Yuan’s expression changed.

He felt like he was fighting all the universe’s experts alone.

It was as if the strongest rank ten bloodline warriors of the entire universe had fused their bloodline abilities together just to deal with him.

Even the five God Race families’ bloodline abilities were mixed within it. The Blaze Family bloodline was no exception.

He felt like something was holding him back.

In that moment, he felt like the universe itself had become his enemy.

Qin Lie alone made him feel like he was fighting all the strongest experts of the entire universe!

“Slap slap slap!”

The shackles made of countless bloodline powers abruptly slapped onto his body.

He had no choice but to use a portion of his power to resist the godly chains.

However, this meant he couldn’t focus all his attention to create the second ultimate flame.

“Rip!”

The streams of fire gathering at the chaotic streams of space looked weak.

The speed at which he gathered the ultimate flame dropped drastically.

“It’s time to end this.”

Qin Lie stared at Lieyan Yuan’s distorted face and said softly, “This is as far as you go. If you were smart enough to wait just a bit longer like Tian Qi, you might actually have a real shot at entering the ultimate realm. What a shame.”

“Don’t speak to me about that coward!” Lieyan Yuan shouted madly.

Qin Lie shook his head and chuckled.

“Come out.”

The Soul Suppressing Orb hidden in Qin Lie’s glabella slowly broke through his skin and appeared.

The Soul Suppressing Orb quietly stared at Lieyan Yuan like a third eye.

Surprisingly, the berserk Lieyan Yuan actually calmed down after seeing Qin Lie’s “third eye”.

In that moment, he felt like the Imperial Soul Monarch himself was staring at him. It was an indescribably strange feeling.

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

“It's you!” Lieyan Yuan shouted.

Qin Lie sensed clearly that the missing part of his soul was inside the Soul Suppressing Orb.

“Swhoosh!”

The Soul Suppressing Orb suddenly flew away from his glabella.

It was as if time and space itself had become frozen. The only thing that was moving was the Soul Suppressing Orb.

Lieyan Yuan tried to resist this power, but it felt like this corner of the universe had suddenly gained a master.

It was just like when Ling Yushi had merged with the Geocentric Motherlode.

“He’s the Creator no matter where he goes,” Lieyan Yuan exclaimed in realization.

The Soul Suppressing Orb entered Lieyan Yuan’s brain through his eye.

The light in his eye abruptly turned dim.

The fire energy gathering inside the chaotic streams of space suddenly returned to where it had come from.

Lieyan Yuan’s era was over, just like that.
