Spirit Realm

Chapter 1821: Disaster Arrives!

While Qin Lie and the returnees were locked in soul battles, huge waves were happening throughout the universe.

The thirty four returnees all came from powerful outer realm races. They were the only races that had the ability of nurturing peak rank ten experts.

Moreover, these returnees were very well-respected within their own race.

Naturally, their return caused great waves among most powerful races within the universe.

The Bone Race.

A group of Bone Race experts led by Lartigau and Bredo had arrived at the Eisenberg Family after catching wind of what had happened.

“The one who returned is Honorable Hood.”

Bredo looked worried as he stared at the bone burying ground that was absorbing corpse energy from all over the Bone World. A chilly emotion lurked behind his eyes.

“W-why are you here?”

The dozen or so Eisenberg Family members grew tensed when they saw Lartigau and Bredo.

Hood’s breakthrough had reached a critical juncture. If he entered the ultimate realm, the Eisenberg Family would be able to get their revenge.

“Father, Bick and Rigel are dead,” Salleh said coldly. “Honorable Hood has to hold a grudge against us. If he’s allowed to enter the ultimate realm… our race will fall into chaos once more.”

“Patriarch, Hood will destroy the Bone Race,” Bredo also advised.

Lartigau gem-like pupils glinted strangely as he stared at the bone burying ground for a long time. Then, he suddenly let out a sigh.

“Honorable Hood was a sensible person. The Eisenberg Family wasn’t like this when he was still around. The only reason Bick and Rigel fell for Castor’s bait was because Honorable Hood wasn’t here.”

“Also, he… took great care of me when I was younger.”

“The criminals were Bick and Rigel of the Eisenberg Family, and both of them had gotten what they deserved. However, Honorable Hood hadn’t taken part in any crime that was disadvantageous against the Bone Race. All he did was cultivate peacefully in the outer realms.”

“I just cannot find a justifiable reason to attack him while he is achieving a breakthrough.”

“My honor wouldn’t allow it.”

“Father!” Salleh said agitatedly. “Even if that is true, we are the reason why Bick and Rigel died, and the Eisenberg Family fell into decline! Honorable Hood is a member of their family. Do you really think he will act rationally after reaching the ultimate realm?”

“Patriarch, if he succeeds, we’ll be exiled from the Bone Race in the best case scenario… everything below that involves him killing us and choosing another person to become a leader of the Bone Race!” Bredo also persuaded.

“Please allow me some more time to gather my thoughts,” Lartigau said quietly.

The Spirit World.

Assad, Indigo and a dozen or so Spirit Race bloodline warriors had also arrived at the Satorius Family’s doorsteps.

Assad could sense the Profound Heaven Spirit Orb’s energy inside the Satorius Family’s ancestral shrine.

“Lord Farid is inside,” Assad said softly.

“Narsen is dead, Oktan is dead, and now Lord Farid is back. What should we do?” an elderly man asked.

The Spirit Race clansmen looked at Assad in anticipation.

Farid was the Satorius Family’s strongest expert. Before he left the Spirit World, the Satorius Family was the strongest family of the Spirit Race.

Even the Great Sage Tian Qi was a junior compared to Farid.

“The Satorius Family’s betrayal had nothing to do with Lord Farid,” the old man said again with a serious look on his face. “Lord Farid is a sage to the Spirit Race. If he’s looking to enter the ultimate realm, then we should give him our full support!”

“What if he demands retribution for Narsen and Oktan’s death after he succeeds?” one of Assad’s trusted aides asked.

“Our race needs an ultimate expert right now! If Tian Qi is too afraid to make a move, then we may as well let Lord Farid blaze the trail for us!” the old man insisted.

“Indigo, you’re our leaderright now. What do you think?” Assad asked Indigo gently.

The experts of the Spirit Race immediately turned to look at her.

Indigo didn’t give an answer immediately. Instead, she took out the Scepter of Fate Tian Qi had given her and gripped it tightly.

“Zzzt!”

Wisps of blue bloodline energy flew out from the back of her hand and become connected with the scepter’s light of fate.

She then concentrated on tried to sense what was going inside the shrine.

A dozen or so seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes while her shoulders trembled. She looked at the Satorius Family’s ancestral shrine in astonishment.

It was because she sensed Qin Lie’s soul presence inside the shrine!

After thinking over what she had discovered for a moment, she smiled and said calmly, “Narsen and Oktan’s betrayal have nothing to do with Senior Farid. He’s a Spirit Race clansman, and we should be happy for his return. I’m sure Senior Farid is a sensible person, and that he won’t blame us for Narsen and Oktan’s deaths.”

“Therefore, my decision is that we wait peacefully until Senior Farid achieves his breakthrough.”

“If he succeeds, it’ll be a great boon to our race. If he fails, we’ll give him a proper burial.”

“What do you all think?”

“The matriarch is wise!” the old man cried emotionally.

“To think that our matriarch is this broad-minded despite her age! The matriarch truly is the wise leader of our race!”

“We agree with this!”

“This is the way it’s supposed to be!”

The senior clansmen of the Spirit Race all nodded their heads in satisfaction. They all thought that Indigo had made a wise and correct decision.

Assad’s face twitched, but he didn’t contradict Indigo’s decision.

“It’s fine, grandpa. Senior Farid… probably won’t be able to defeat him,” Indigo suddenly sent Assad a secret message.

“Him?” Assad sounded confused by her message.

Back at the Dragon World of Spirit Realm.

Qin Shan, Qin Hao, the Ice Emperor, and the Flame Emperor were all present near the valley where the demon dragon Abrit was attempting a breakthrough. They were all watching the lake inside the valley closely.

The moment Qin Lie’s Dark Soul Beast Soul Tree entered the lake, Abrit’s breakthrough suddenly slowed to a halt.

Both world spirit energy and refined flesh and blood energy suddenly stopped flowing into Abrit.

“I hope Qin Lie won’t harm my father!” Mitchell said gloomily.

“Rip!”

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared out of nowhere, and the Great Sage Tian Qi arrived at the Dragon World.

“Tian Qi!” Qin Hao shouted.

“Why are you here?” The Flame Emperor and the Ice Emperor summoned their nine-level Soul Altar immediately in preparation for battle.

The rest of the human Genesis Realm experts also summoned their Soul Altars in a hurry when the saw Tian Qi.

“Relax,” Tian Qi said with a dry laugh before raising his hands to show that he meant no harm. “Really, I’m not planning to harm anyone this time.”

“Something bad always happens when you show up!” Qin Hao uttered harshly.

“Well, something bad did happen, but this time it’s not because of me.” Tian Qi withdrew his smile and shot the demon dragon Abrit inside the lake a long look. Then, he said, “Unknown spatial black holes are appearing all over the universe, and the Dark Shadow Worlds that disappeared years ago are emerging from them. They have also appeared in the Bone Race, the Spirit Race, the Winged Race, the God Race, and the Soul Race’s star regions. What’s even worse, no one has noticed them yet.”

“Sky Bearing City is allied with almost all the powerful races out there, so you’re the only ones who have the means to contact their leaders immediately.”

“This is why I’m here. I want you to warn everyone that the shadow beings are invading once more.”

“And this time, the scale of the invasion is even bigger than last time.”

Tian Qi said darkly.

“What? The shadow beings are coming?”

“They’re invading now? This is bad!”

“What terrible timing!”

Tian Qi’s warning shocked and worried all the human Genesis Realm experts in the valley.
