Ai Ya arched her brows, her face cold and disdainful.
Lei Ji grinned fiendishly. He was full of fighting spirit. "I've heard that you have defeated Lie Feng in the Dead Soul Mountain rage, too. Not bad, daring to fight with him."
Ai Ya had only the Third Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base, but Lei Ji was a First Sky of Spirit Realm warrior. Electric currents were interweaving in his body, creating his torrential power. At first glance, he was really dangerous.
Since they had the same realm, Lei Ji was full of confidence. He wasn't afraid of the other, and was talking arrogantly.
While Shi Yan was talking, Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, and the others had arrived through the light tunnel the Sky Break Shuttle made.
When Ye Xiong's group arrived, he scanned through the surroundings and then shouted immediately. "Where are Lei Mo and Ai Po?"
They didn't see them here.
Lei Ji wanted to attack first, but then he saw other hotshots arrived He smiled coldly and retreated together with Ai Ya.
The rock wall behind them suddenly slit open. Lei Ji and Ai Ya disappeared into the slit, leaving no trace.
Ye Xiong was gloomy and sinister. He released his Soul Consciousness to sense while keeping a faint smile on his face.
There was no strong barrier in this cave. Ye Xiong's Soul Consciousness expanded rapidly, searching for living fluctuations in this tomb.
Shortly, Ye Xiong's body was shaking as the light in his eyes scattered.
"Phew!"
Ye Xiong clutched his chest, his face paling.
"Old Ye, what's happened?" Zhu Yi asked with a kind visage. "You got ambushed?"
"Be careful!" Ye Xiong gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't use Soul Consciousness to sense. This place has a special barrier. It's like ten thousand needles pricking your host soul in the Sea of Consciousness at the same time. So menacing! I got hit when I was searching carelessly. I'm lucky that I could retreat my Soul Consciousness immediately. Otherwise, my host soul would have been hurt."
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu were frightened. They retreated their Soul Consciousness.
"Lei Mo and Ai Po are in the tomb certainly. If we can't use Soul Consciousness to sense, we can only use secret treasures." Zhu Yi nodded, taking out a soul power ball and sending his Soul Consciousness into it. Six light dots sparkled in the ball, revealing fluctuations of living things.
Zhu Yi squinted, as the divine light moved like electric currents in his eyes. He scrutinized the ball for a while and then smiled suddenly.
"You got them?" Ye Xiong was struck.
Zhu Yi nodded. "There. We just need to break the wall. But there's a barrier on the wall. If we activate it, it will create unwanted troubles.
"It's okay," Ye Xiong smiled, "We have Shi Yan here, right?"
Shi Yan felt funny.
Currently, any troubles related to barriers and restriction were all handed to him. None of them thought they should be little more polite.
"Me? It will consume a lot of my energy. If it's not necessary, I think we should skip it," Shi Yan smiled miserably.
Apparently, Ye Xiong didn't put his words in mind. He shot out a short sword, moving like a flowing stream with clear and cold light. This sharp sword pierced through the wall, thrusting deep inside.
Boom!
Sparks of light shot out from the wall like a thick shower attacking people.
Fiery flame burst forth from the light, as scorching as lava deep underground. Light spots were shooting rapidly towards Shi Yan's group.
Everybody protected themselves with martial techniques or secret treasures.
Of course, Shi Yan wasn't scared. He urged the cold air of the Ice Cold Flame. An ice shield appeared, protecting him.
Blazing sparks hit his ice armor, splitting dazzling flames.
His ice shield wasn't broken, but more than ten small spots were melting. However, the armor wasn't pierced through. Shi Yan wasn't hurt.
He didn't notice that terrified Bai Hui Quan had come close, standing behind him.
"You juniors, be smart. Come near Shi Yan to take shelter!"
Zhu Yi shouted, then shot out like lightning, approaching the center of the sparkling light. A small silver axe appeared in his hand. He pounded on the wall, as more rays of light showered.
Luo Xiao and Luo Meng didn't say anything, hurrying to come to Shi Yan and ask him to help.
"This wall requires bursting energy to knock down. Elder Yue, Elder Yun, please give us a hand," Ye Xiong shouted while using his mind to manipulate the short sword, destroying the restraints inside the wall.
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu were hesitant, but eventually, they helped the others.
Lin Zhi and Li Mu Yu had an extraordinary cultivation base, but they were smart enough not to waste their power at this time. They slightly bent their heads, without feeling shame, standing behind Shi Yan.
These juniors wanted Shi Yan to shield them safely from the shooting rays.
"Shi Yan bro, extend the coverage of the ice armor. We have many people now; otherwise, we will get hurt," screamed Luo Xiao.
Originally, Bai Hui Quan stood alone behind Shi Yan. She didn't need to spend her energy, hiding in Shi Yan's shade, where the light didn't hurt her.
When Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, Li Mu Yu, and Lin Zhi arrived, Shi Yan's protective coverage wasn't enough for them all. They were pushing each other to get more safe room.
Li Mu Yu and Lin Yi were all women, and they were all mean. They forcefully pushed Luo Xiao and Luo Meng aside. The two boys could only ask Shi Yan begrudgingly for help.
"Useless fellows!" Shi Yan cursed, increasing the cold air of the Ice Cold Flame. The ice shield in front of him widened into an ice cold wall standing in front of everybody, to shield them from the light shower.
"Well, you are so comfortable, right." Shi Yan turned around, his smile cold. "All of you didn't spend a bit of effort, depending on me for sheltering you from the shower and strong wind. Along the way, it's only me who has had to spend more power. Did you come here to watch the fun?"
"Shi Yan bro, later when you attack that woman, Ai Ya, we will support you!" Luo Xiao slapped his chest and affirmed.
"I will cheer for you," Lin Zhi said with a strange expression. "I'm not that woman's match, so I'm not going to mess up. I can only support your side."
"I'll cheer you up too," Bai Hui Quan pursed her lips, cocking her head smilingly.
Li Mu Yu didn't say anything. She turned her head around, her face disdainful.
Shi Yan was surprised. He glared at them. His thought then changed, which also changed the ice wall in front of them. The corner that shielded Li Mu Yu melted.
Light rays shot towards her.
Li Yu Mu's arrogant face changed as she fumbled to counter the attack. She rose her voice to curse Shi Yan for his lack of ethics.
"They can yell to cheer me up. You gave me the face as if I owed you something. Why should I care about your death or life!" Shi Yan snapped back impolitely.
Li Mu Yu wore a cold face.
BOOM!
The soil wall exploded, revealing a wide path behind. All barriers in that passage were ineffective.
Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu suddenly shouted in that passage, hurrying to get into that place.
Rays of light that had shot at them disappeared strangely, as if they had never existed.
When Shi Yan saw their expression, he immediately knew that they had gotten something. He didn't talk more and hurried to jump into that passage, following the four of them.
Shortly, he crossed the passage behind Ye Xiong and the others.
Inside the empty cave, lightning strikes as big as an arm were moving in the air. Lei Mo was pushing the Heaven Thunder Beast to the ground, constantly punching it.
Ai Po and the other two Third Sky of Spirit Realm warriors stood aside Le Mo, gazing at the Heaven Thunder Beast, their faces solemn.
Lei Ji and Ai Ya stayed away from the Heaven Thunder Beast, also watching.
The level 8 demonic beast, Heaven Thunder Beast, laid in a shabby formation eye, receiving Lei Mo's rhythmic attack.
The Heaven Thunder Beast had been wounded severely. Blood gushing out constantly from its body puddled on the ground. In its eyes, only the wildest instinct remained. The beast was struggling hard, howling vehemently while trying to urge the power in its body.
Lightning strikes shot out from the Heaven Thunder Beast just like dragons or snakes hovered in the sky.
Lei Mo smiled fiendishly. It seemed he knew how to control thunder and lightning power. While pounding on the Heaven Thunder Beast, he was also releasing his Soul Consciousness.
When Lei Mo's Soul Consciousness flew out, it immediately gathered inside the dazzling lightning. He was using the Soul Consciousness to steady the lightning power in the air.
The technique he was cultivating was also the lightning power. Although the Heaven Thunder Beast was powerful naturally, it could hardly control the thunder and lightning power in its body now, because of the Seven-leaflet Soul Cutting Grass. It just lay there passively as Lei Mo restrained it fiercely.
Beside Lei Mo, Ai Po and two other Third Sky of Spirit Realm warriors were constantly pouring their attacking power on the beast.
The Heaven Thunder Beast was howling mournfully. It crazily struck out more lightning power. The heat of the lightning almost filled the whole cave.
Shortly, the combined lightning power seemed to activate something in this tomb. Light of rays gathered into one bunch, meandering like a dragon, striking the tomb into ashes.
The grand lightning dragon condensed by lightning energy struggled, smashing all the barriers in this area.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
Rays of light crossed and interweaved, while the ceiling above their heads crumbled. After that, the Heaven Thunder Beast shook, as if it suddenly received power from God, storming out furiously.
Lei Mo's team was cheered up, following it.
Heaven Thunder Beast was coiled by the giant lighting dragon. Its eyes dimmed as its wounded body bled constantly.
A luminous area appeared behind the Heaven Thunder Beast. Shortly, a strange ancient formation emerged out of thin air. A fiery cyan flame was flickered in the formation eye. Numerous fine beams of lighting twined around that flame.
Next to that fiery cyan flame was a light spot, which was constantly enlarging, turning into an entrance of an Ancient Cave Mansion.
Lei Mo, Ai Po, and the others were excited, flying up.
"It appears!"
At the same time, Gongsun Tao, Zhuo Hui, and the others appeared from nowhere. All were stirred up.

Chapter 577: Ten Antiquity Clans
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
Lightning in the ancient formation blinded the eyes, hovering in the sky like wild snakes. It was a world-shaking sight!
Lei Mo, Ai Po, Gongsun Tao, and Zhuo Hui got hit when they had just approached the ancient formation and not gotten in it yet. The lightning struck them. Light shot out from their eyes while they were shaking hard.
Even Lei Mo, the one who understood the lightning power the most, couldn't neutralize the thunder and lightning power in his body. His body stiffened as he was trying to control electric currents intruding his body in the void.
When Shi Yan, Ye Xiong, and Zhu Yi walked out of the passage, looking at the sky which was full of lightning strikes, and experts zooming over to the center of the formation, they couldn't help but change their visage.
"Be careful. Don't rush, no matter what!" Shi Yan peeked at the old formation, then his face changed dramatically. He hurried to remind the others.
The complexity of that formation was something Shi Yan had never seen before. Since he had the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success, he gained the knowledge of ancient formations. Teleportation Formation was one of the records in that book of success.
However, the ancient formation in front of him seemed to have its own life, formed by countless moving fine curves.
Took a closer look, he vaguely realized that those curves were the Ghost Line Written Charm that had been lost for so many years. According to the memoir of 'another Shi Yan,' in the river of history, it was impossible to track down the Ghost Line Written Charm.
In that Shi Yan's memory, he didn't know much of the Ghost Line Written Charm. The only thing he remembered was that this scripture was created by a mysterious race in the old time. That race no longer existed since tens of thousands of years ago in the Divine Great Land.
The ancient formation in front of him was formed by thick curves of Ghost Line Written Charm. Each line contained a kind of peculiar energy. Countless written charms successively followed each other like a long scripture that occupied that spacious area, revealing the aura of an old time in the history.
Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi knew nothing about formations. They halted having heard Shi Yan.
Ai Ya and Lei Ji stood not far from the ancient formation. They peeked at Shi Yan but didn't take action just yet.
Mo Ling Er of the Martial Spirit Palace had her eyes brightened standing in front of the ancient formation, dropping her jaw in awe. She had never seen this kind of formation before. The formation in front of her eyes was something beyond her knowledge.
Even though her martial spirit was special, she couldn't do anything to this formation, as she couldn't spot any cracks or leaks.
Lei Mo, Ai Po, Congsun Tao, and Zhuo Hui couldn't repress the greed in their hearts on seeing the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame and the Ancient Cave Mansion. They didn't notice the imposingly mighty power of the formation, dashing towards it one by one.
Lighting strikes showered from the sky, covering the space around the old formation.
Lightning struck some Spirit Realm warriors, shaking them violently. Their burning hair rose as they were urging Essence Qi to resist. However, they still jumped in recklessly.
A cluster of World Extinguishing Thunder Flame was dancing gently in the center of the formation, releasing the lightning strikes.
The Heaven Thunder Beast was floating above the ancient formation. No one knew that it hadn't breathed for quite a long time. The beast died in silence.
"World Extinguishing Thunder Flame!"
Right at this moment, the Ice Cold Flame sent its thought to Shi Yan. A jade-white flame flew out from the Blood Vein Ring, discreetly observing the situation.
Since they were all heaven flames, they could sense each other. As soon as the Ice Cold Flame got out, the Nine Serenity flame, which had been dormant for quite a long time in Shi Yan's host soul, was startled, shivering gently.
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame had sunk into his Sea of Consciousness unknowingly. Sometimes, Shi Yan even forgot its existence.
However, this tremble was real. The flame seemed to finally wake up from a deep sleep, and started to notice the situation around it.
"How many things do you know about the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame?" asked Shi Yan.
"It's ranked second. In the Immemorial Epoch, it had gained intellect inside billions of lightning strikes. Long, long time ago, it had slaughtered a whole great land. At that time, it was so powerful that it killed countless creatures. Living beings like us are hard to eradicate. This flame is the same. It can revive amidst lightning strikes. I heard that it had provoked experts of many clans, who joined hands and sealed it. They had used some secret techniques to wear out its power. But it needs a really long time to exterminate that flame."
The Ice Cold Flame had a limited knowledge of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, so the information it provided wasn't detailed.
Shi Yan was a little bit disappointed. "How to subdue it?"
"Compared to my peak time, its evolution was more exquisite. I don't know much about it," answered the Ice Cold Flame.
Shi Yan was surprised.
"It takes billions of years to use the Mysterious Yin energy to wear out and erase its life seal. That flame's thunder and lightning power can fade out the will and soul of all kinds of creature. It's similar to my ability. But it's more tyrannical. Lightning can destroy souls, and it can affect the body directly. It's really terrifying."
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, which had been quiet for quite a long time, weakly sent him its thought. "What restrains it should be the Yin Written Charm Scripture of the Ghost Mark Clan. The Yin Written Charm Scripture is the Canon of the Ghost Mark Clan, which can urge and refine the Mysterious Yin energy naturally. Yin Written Charm Scripture is both the Bible and the divine weapon, which can create a world that condenses earth and heaven spiritual Qi into the Mysterious Yin energy. This energy will restrain and wear out the flame."
"Ghost Mark Clan?" Shi Yan was surprised. "Isn't the Yin Written Charm Scripture the Canon of The Demonic Sound Clan? Why does it belong to the Ghost Mark Clan?"
"The Demonic Sound Clan is a branch of the Ghost Mark Clan. After the Ghost Mark Clan was confined, the Demonic Sound Clan became a dependency of the Dark Clan. Until the Antiquity Time, the Demonic Sound Clan had all forgotten their ancestors and deemed themselves to be a branch of the Dark Clan. Funny, eh?" The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent its mocking thought, flying out of Shi Yan's host soul.
"Was that Ghost Mark Clan dangerous?" Shi Yan was surprised a lot.
"The Ghost Mark Clan was one of the ten clans in the Immemorial Epoch. Just like the Dark Spirit Clan you've met, they were once so powerful that nothing could compare to them. In the Antiquity Time, mankind was at the bottom, far under the ten other races. Too bad, later on, the powers of nature changed. The strongest clans started to decline, giving way to your despicable mankind thriving. The divine intentions are really unpredictable," Mocked the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.
"Then how should we deal with our current situation?" asked Shi Yan humbly.
"The Yin Written Charm Scripture restrains the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. While the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame is struggling, it has worn out the power of the Scripture. Even if there's some living thing inside the Scripture and no one wants to interfere, it's a dead end. Someone wants to destroy the Yin Written Charm Scripture and perish the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. That's why they had created such an arrangement to let these two things destroy each other," said the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame indifferently.
"So, if someone interferes, it will mess up the whole thing?" Shi Yan's face changed slightly as he was looking at the changes happening in the formation. He couldn't help but hurry to send another message. "If they are destroyed, what will happen?"
"If there's a living creature inside the Yin Written Charm Scripture, it will take revenge. Even if the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame can struggle out of the restraint, it will take revenge for itself too." The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame said mildly from deep inside his soul. "Although I don't know who set up all this, I think your mankind isn't innocent. Such a malicious scheme, only your mankind could come up with it."
Shi Yan was frightened.
"Too late, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame is releasing lightning strikes to prevent you guys. It's a trap. That flame is familiar with your human characteristics. It knows that the more you are oppressed, the more you want to storm over. The Yin Written Charm Scripture has been consumed for so many years. I guess the remaining power is not as much as one-thousandth. If those people get in there, it will break soon," said the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame nonchalantly.
Shi Yan discolored. He wanted to advise them, but Gongsun Tao, Lei Mo, and the others had jumped into the Scripture.
Those Spirit Realm experts had disappeared into the Yin Written Charm Scripture immediately, as if they were dragged into another world.
At the same time, the Yin Written Charm Scripture shot out many energy fluctuations, and the Ghost Line Written Charm, which was moving above the Yin Written Charm Scripture, slowed down. Eventually, it stopped running.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame in the Yin Written Charm Scripture suddenly agitated and started to attack furiously. Crystal waves appeared around the flame, like barriers confining it. Then, the waves gradually melted.
The Ancient Cave Mansion was exposed in the Yin Written Charm Scripture. Building and palaces vaguely came to their sights. In the immense Yin Qi, they could see some people moving.
Many bony pagans, which looked like evil spirits with colorful ghost scriptures tattooed on their bodies, were crying inside the Ancient Cave Mansion, trying to push and sway to the entrance of the Cave Mansion.
Not long afterward, members of an alien tribe with ghost scripture tattoos walked out of the Ancient Cave Mansion. They looked like a herd of beggars with no energy remaining in their bodies. As soon as they got out of the place, they faced the sky and cried pitifully. This moved people's hearts.
More than ten clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan were crying. Their cries shot up to the sky, shaking the whole place as if they wanted to vent out their ten-thousand-year old sorrow and dehumanizing grievance through their tears.
After so many years being sealed and confined, members of the Ghost Mark Clan could finally step on a foreign land for the second time. No one could control their emotions. Their tears burst out uncontrollably.
Two old men of the Ghost Mark Clan were walking tremblingly, seeming as if they would die any minute. Their skin was like the withered bark of old trees. They panted while walking. There was no light in their dim eyes. Their feeble breath seemed to be gone with the wind soon.
The cry of these two old men was also senile. They crouched on the ground, greedily taking in the air.
The scattering heaven and earth spiritual Qi in this tomb was dragged, as if a whale was taking in water, into the mouths of these two old men. The old men were like a sponge, absorbing heaven and earth spiritual Qi in this tomb at a speed that scared everyone else.
Their dull eyes gradually lit up. Their wrinkled faces were gradually tightened at speed that naked eyes could observe. Their shriveled bodies seemed to be filled up with vitality, expanding and glowing. They had a tremendous change.
It was like a stream of pure Essence Qi pouring into their senile breath, reviving them slowly but steadily.
Shi Yan was stunned on looking at the scene. His face wore the solemn expression he had never had before.

Chapter 578: Divine Weapon!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
The Ghost Mark Clan emerged from the Ancient Cave Mansion. They looked physically like the Demonic Sound Clan, with weak, thin bodies and strong soul power.
The only difference was the ghost scriptures covering their bodies. Those delicate ghost tattoos were innate. They had different colors, but all were mystical and complex, with dissimilar features.
Shi Yan started to sense discreetly, and found that different ghost scriptures on their bodies had different functions.
Some ghost scriptures could gather spiritual Qi. some had the Five Elements aura, and some were like the attacking technique, which could urge some mysterious energy.
From a distance, the scriptures on the Ghost Mark Clan's members looked like bulging veins of human warriors, which was oddly strange.
Each of the scripture seemed to be an innate martial spirit, with different kinds of power. To the Ghost Mark Clan, it was the gifted divine abilities.
Shi Yan was amazed.
The Ghost Mark Clan had a weak physique. However, many clansmen with special ghost scriptures had their scriptures changing right when they got out of the Ancient Cave Mansion. They seemed to refine the energy of heaven and earth to restore their bodies. Gradually, their shriveled bodies were refined and expanding.
This was their gifted ability, the special martial spirit!
Almost all clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan had the ghost scripture on their bodies. Although they had been drained dramatically, once they got out of the restraints, all were growing like when air blown into a balloon.
Especially the two old men.
Their mouths opened to take in deep breaths. Heaven and earth spiritual Qi was like a mist, torrentially pouring into their mouths and nostrils, reviving their dried power and giving them new vitality.
Shi Yan's eyes were as bright as the torch, gazing at the two old man of the Ghost Mark Clan. He sensed and then discolored.
True God Realm experts!
He could confirm that those two old men of the Ghost Mark Clan were the peak kind of the Divine Great Land. Their aura were immense and torrential, like the vast, unpredictable sea.
Shi Yan was afraid that they had just recovered a part of their real power, but this kind of tremor in the soul had frightened Shi Yan.
More members of the Ghost Mark Clan got out of the Ancient Cave Mansion. They were crying, screaming, kissing the ground, and holding dust and soil in their hands, they faces thrilled.
Since they could see the sunlight now after so many years of being confined, none of them could press down their emotions.
Just like Shi Yan, Zhu Yi, Ye Xiong and the others put on a terrified countenance. They were scared, looking at the clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan, and didn't dare to act rashly.
It was unknown when the restraint of the ancient formation created by the Yin Written Charm Scripture had vanished.
Lei Mo, Ai Po, Congsun Tao, and Zhuo Hui were frightened in the coverage of the Ghost Line Written Charm. They rushed to keep a distance from the clansmen that looked like a herd of whining ghosts.
The cyan World Extinguishing Thunder Flame had disappeared, leaving no trace or aura into the barrier.
The body of the Heaven Thunder Beast fell into the ancient barrier. Those human warriors then surrounded that dead body, trying to use their Soul Consciousness to find the aura of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
They had no harvest.
Lei Ji and Ai Ya were standing not far from the ancient formation. They were petrified, looking at the arrival of the Ghost Mark Clan.
On the other side, the Ghost Mark Clan hadn't paid attention to the appearance of those strangers. The two old men were still trying their best to absorb the spiritual Qi.
All members of the Ghost Mark Clan were gathering power, excitedly recovering themselves.
They had been confined for so many years, which had drained out the energy in them to the point they were like a flickering oil lamp. Without those two sage experts who had been using their energy constantly to protect them, their souls would have been depleted.
"Go away. You guys are not their match. The Ghost Mark Clan won't let you live." At this moment, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent Shi Yan an urge from his host soul. "They are restoring their energy. If we leave now, we can escape. If we linger here, it will be too late."
"The Ghost Mark Clan has been imprisoned for so many years. They must have a deep hatred of humans. You can't linger here," agreed the Ice Cold Flame.
Shi Yan kept silent. His bright eyes looked straight as he was gathering his energy quietly. He even urged the negative power altogether.
"Fellows, why are you confined there?" Lei Mo of the Thunder Emperor City asked while frowning, after spending a long time searching but getting nothing. He couldn't help but gaze at the Ghost Mark Clan.
The two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan kept silent indifferently, while continuing to take in the spiritual Qi, as if they didn't hear Lei Mo's question.
All members of the Ghost Mark Clan stayed quiet, as if they didn't understand what Lei Mo had asked them. They all bent their heads, their complexions strange.
Ai Po, Gongsun Tao, and Zhuo Hui exchanged looks, then shifted their looks to the Ghost Mark Clan. At this moment, they didn't know what to do.
"The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame has been exhausted after so many years. It should be damaged badly. Of course, it will run away. When the lightning and thunder gather in the air, it will borrow the power of the thunder and lightning of Nine Skies to recover its power. For the time being, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame will stay idle. But when it gets the opportunity to refine itself in the thunder and lightning of the void, the Divine Great Land will fall into its crisis."
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame warned from Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness.
Shi Yan's eyes were sharp like electric currents, coldly studying the current circumstances. He quietly moved to the side of Luo Xiao and Luo Meng, then talked to Zhu Yi. "We should leave."
"Leave?" Zhu Yi was surprised. "Why do we have to leave? So, we can't have any harvest from our plan?"
Shi Yan blinked, signaling him, "If you don't leave, you should be prepared to bear the flame of anger from the others. We aren't worth their attention."
Then, he looked at Ye Xiong, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu. "I'm leaving now. If you are persistent, you should pray for your fortune."
Ye Xiong, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu changed their complexions.
"You!" Ye Xiong shouted with an angry face. "What are you afraid of?"
"Two True God Realm warriors are restoring their power…" Shi Yan cocked his head, reminding them.
Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi startled in fright.
The two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan had consumed too much of their Essence Qi, which made them look ordinary after they had got out of the cave mansion. Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi couldn't see their real realms.
Shi Yan was different. He had the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and space power in his Sea of Consciousness. He had some knowledge of the Demonic Sound Clan's soul techniques, so he could see the irregular features of those two sages.
Those two sages were restoring their power in silence. Their squinted eyes flashed.
The two sages shifted their line of sight to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan was scared.
Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were more frightened as they finally recognized the uncommon things. They vaguely thought that Shi Yan's opinion was true.
The two sages glared at Shi Yan with deep meanings in their eyes. They even grinned, sending shivers down their spines.
"Sorry, can't be your company," Shi Yan felt nervous, nodded toward Ye Xiong, then shot out like a rainbow.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi screamed in unison. They didn't dare to linger, covering Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, and Lin Zhi to leave altogether.
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu moved instantly.
The grin of the Ghost Mark Clan's sages became eviler, their eyes cold and sinister.
Bang!
Shi Yan trembled violently. He got dizzy, falling down from the void.
Soul Consciousness attack!
A soul net woven by flows of soul appeared out of nowhere in his Sea of Consciousness. It was snatching over his host soul. At the same time, a willpower as heavy as a mountain enlarged in his Sea of Consciousness.
He couldn't have time to dodge this sudden soul attack, falling directly from the void.
Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu could react, but their consequences weren't any better. Their Soul Consciousness trembled violently, and they couldn't control their power. Their faces were grim.
This was the soul attack that the Ghost Mark Clan understood the most, not much different from that of the Demonic Sound Clan. Shi Yan held his head and gritted his teeth. He stood up from the ground and grimaced, looking at the members of the Ghost Mark Clan.
The two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan wore a sinister smile; all were gazing at him with great interest.
Lei Mo, Ai Po, Congsun Tao, and Zhuo Hui finally saw the wicked intentions, their faces solemn.
Among the juniors, Lei Ji's eyes had lost the spirit. He stood puzzledly at his spot, as if he were possessed.
"Lei da-ge! Lei da-ge!" Ai Ya saw his difference. She called him continually, but Lei Ji didn't notice her, standing motionlessly as though his soul had wandered somewhere.
"You come here," a sage of the Ghost Mark Clan rose a finger, pointing at Shi Yan and giving his order.
His voice was senile and his words were doddering. He seemed not very familiar with the human language. His utterance wasn't so smooth.
"Me?" Shi Yan was surprised, pointing at himself.
"Yeah, you."
"Why me? There're so many people here. Why are you staring at me?"
"You aren't like them."
The Ghost Mark Clan's sage revealed a gloomy smile. His small eyes flashed with a malicious light like a venomous snake.
Shi Yan gave him a slight nod. He urged the negative power, promoted the energy of his body, then summoned the Sky Destroyer.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
Right when the Sky Destroyer fell into his hand, beams of blood-red light radiated from the tip of the sword. An intimidating aura filled the place instantly.
Members of the Ghost Mark Clan in the barrier suddenly realized that the Ghost Line Written Charm in the barrier sparkled.
The narrow eyes of the sage lit up; he couldn't help but shout, "Divine weapon!"
His bright eyes gazed at the Sky Destroyer in Shi Yan's hand.
Crack Crack Crack!
Clear sounds of trundling gears echoed from the ancient barrier. The Ghost Line Written Charm were moving slowly then gradually shrinking.
Soon, a five-colored halo covered the ancient formation, flashing restlessly.
Waiting until the barrier shrank to a certain degree, the Ghost Mark Clan's sage snatched it, then hid an ancient scripture book into his sleeve.
The Yin Written Charm Canon of the Ghost Mark Clan could create a world, which could convert the Mysterious Yin Qi. This was also a divine weapon.
The divine sword in Shi Yan's hand buzzed; its spirit seemed to be excited.
When the secret treasure reached the God level, its intellect would rise miraculously. This kind of a secret treasures wasn't present in a big number in the world. So, when the Sky Destroyer met the Yin Written Charm, it couldn't hide its excitement, releasing a rhythm of resonance.
Zhu Yi, Ye Xiong and the hotshots of the Divine Great Land acted as if they saw a ghost, looking at him disbelieving.
This kid had a divine weapon!

Chapter 579: Instigating
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Divine weapon!
There were so many secret treasures in the Divine Great Land, but the God level secret treasures were just a few. Leaders of the seven ancient factions each kept one divine weapon, as if it were the most precious martial technique inheritance of their clans.
Although Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong assumed that Shi Yan had many mysteries, they had never thought that he would have a divine weapon. And, this divine weapon wasn't something they had known before. This scared all of them.
When the Sky Destroyer appeared, not only Zhu Yi's group wore an astounded face, but the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were also filled with a divine light. All of them paid attention to him without blinking.
After the sage took the Yin Written Charm Scripture, he extended his thin, shriveled arms from the sleeves. He smiled darkly, lifting his hand. "Give it to me."
He was eyeing the divine sword Sky Destroyer, his face nonchalant.
Shi Yan changed his face as he smiled coldly. "For what?"
"I can let you live," The sage grinned, "As long as you're honest, you'll be unharmed for a short period. But if you want to treat us as air, don't blame me for having no mercy."
All the members of the Ghost Mark Clan had a sinister countenance, their eyes filled with hatred toward the intruders.
In their eyes, mankind was the archenemy from generation to generation. All human beings should be dead. After they had struggled out of the confinement of the Yin Written Charm Scripture, they had determined to bathe mankind in blood.
Zhu Yi, Zhuo Hui, Lei Mo and the others were sensitive enough to recognize the Ghost Mark Clan's attitude. They knew it was big trouble.
At this moment, the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan had finally revealed their high realm and profound soul power, which hinted at a big danger.
Zhuo Hui and Lei Mo were at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm.
Who else was strong enough to subdue them besides the True God Realm experts?
Everybody was scared, becoming more agitated. Their eyes sparkled continually, as they were prepared to retreat in any minute.
Two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were nonchalant. They weren't hurried or anxious, just gazing at Shi Yan, or the sword in his hand to be exact.
"You want my sword?" Shi Yan took a deep breath, restoring his calmness. He even beamed a harmless smile.
That sage nodded gently. "Kid, you should recognize your situation, which would reduce your pain. I've found that you somehow know my tribe. When I broke into your Sea of Consciousness, I found that you know how to use the soul technique of the Ghost Mark Clan. I'm curious. Kid, do you have any relation to our Ghost Mark Clan?"
Many clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan were surprised, their expression strange.
Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong were more astounded. They were disbelieving and secretly putting up their guard.
Shi Yan was startled.
He got it right away. This sage of the Ghost Mark Clan had found the relation between the Demonic Sound Clan and him from the host soul in his Sea of Consciousness.
When he was in the Abandoned place, through Yi Tian Mo, he had a deep understanding of the Soul Upanishads of the Demonic Sound Clan, which left a mark of the soul technique of the Demonic Sound Clan deep in his soul.
It wasn't something ordinary warrior could find out, but the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan not only had the True God Realm cultivation base, but also the profound knowledge of Soul Upanishads of their tribe. Anyway, the Demonic Sound Clan's mysteries related to the soul had originated from the Yin Written Charm Scripture, which was now in that sage's hands.
"I'm not going to give you this sword," Shi Yan pondered, then shook his head determinedly.
"Then I have to say sorry," The sage smiled, as a brutal light flashed in his squinted eyes.
A red light shot like a meteor in Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness. That red light was real and blazing, dashing rapidly towards Shi Yan's host soul.
Scorching read spear!
Shi Yan was frightened. He understood the soul techniques of the Demonic Sound Clan. At first glance, he knew how dangerous this soul technique was.
"Destroy!"
Under the attentively look of the Ghost Mark Clan's clansmen, Shi Yan closed his eyes as his lips moved gently to let out a light sound that couldn't be lighter.
The third eye of the host soul opened, shooting out furious flames in his Sea of Consciousness.
Fiery flames quickly covered that shooting red light. Tremendous energy fluctuated when that red beam was burned down to ashes.
"AHH!"
The sage thundered. His eyes were wicked and sinister like a venomous snake gazing at Shi Yan.
Shi Yan held the divine sword Sky Destroyer, then opened his eyes.
As agile as an electric strike, he urged all kinds of his power, retreating instantly from that area.
The sage didn't think much as he performed soul techniques. Flows of soul techniques shot out from his head. Numerous light spots that naked eyes could observe covered Shi Yan.
When these two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were in their heyday, their supernatural powers were boundless. Unfortunately, after so many years of consuming, their Essence Qi had been drained. Although they had gotten out, it couldn't be restored fully in a short while.
That's why these two sages couldn't do anything rather than using soul attacks. They attempted to use their high realm and deep understanding of soul techniques to oppress the others.
Traps and barriers interweaved like a dome of haze light. Layers followed layers, snatching Shi Yan.
In this world, the speed of Soul Consciousness could be deemed the fastest. Even though Shi Yan had used his max speed to run away, it wasn't faster than the soul attacks by these two sages.
"Watch out!"
"Come back!"
Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong shouted in fright. They were nervous.
"Boss!" Luo Xiao and Luo Meng shouted hoarsely, their countenance sorrowful.
Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, and the others were also frightened, but they didn't know what to do for now.
At this moment, they knew the realms of those sages. True God Realm experts using soul technique to deal with Shi Yan, a Spirit Realm warrior, should it be something surprising?
Everybody supposed that Shi Yan was in big danger at this time. This big gap between realms could never be filled.
Shi Yan didn't turn his head around, running madly as though he didn't recognize so many beams of light that were striking towards him. His body shot away like an electric rainbow.
A barrier and a soul attack heavily pressed down.
Suddenly!
Silver flame burst out from his body, which looked like a spiritual snake twirling around him.
When the soul attacks by the sages touched Shi Yan, they were all burned down, disappearing into this bright silver flame.
The two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan suddenly jolted up from their seats, their faces pale. Their bright eyes dimmed out.
The Soul Consciousness got hurt!
They had condensed their soul power to create the soul attack. But they were all burned down, to the extent that they couldn't retrieve a flow. This was really hard to cure, much more than a physical injury.
Shi Yan in the protection of the bright silver light turned his head while smiling. He snorted, then continued running away.
Everybody was dumbstruck.
Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong dropped their jaws, their faces bewildered.
Zhuo Hui and Gongsun Tao were also petrified.
Ai Ya's soft body shivered as thrill crossed her beautiful eyes. She frowned, then stooped down.
Lei Ji was standing next to her with a dull look. All of a sudden, his pupils sparkled as his face twisted strangely.
The bright silver flame covering Shi Yan seemed to sense the change of Lei Ji. It made a pair of vague eyes from the flame, looking at Lei Ji.
Lei Ji smiled silently, his face became odder.
"Kill him!"
Right at this moment, the sage ordered, but he didn't move. He continued to absorb spiritual Qi with a pale face. He wanted to restore quickly.
"The others are wounded. If you want to take action, you have only this chance. Of course, if you want to run, you should be quick. Don't give him time to recover."
Shi Yan had disappeared, but his voice came from a far distance.
Lei Mo, Zhuo Hui, Gongsun Tao, and Ai Po had their eyes sparkled. They couldn't help but look at the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan.
Shi Yan had reminded them.
It was true that these two sages had the True God Realm cultivation base, but they were confined for so many years that they had drained almost all of the energy in their bodies.
Of course, as the True God Realm experts, their soul attack was profound, and they could gain the upper hand in soul fighting.
But now, their souls were hurt…
If they had a plan and they didn't seize this opportunity, what were they waiting for?
Lei Mo and Zhuo Hui had their eyes brightened with wicked intentions.
Many clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan didn't pay attention to Lei Mo and his team. After they had received the order, they immediately flew out, chasing after Shi Yan.
"What should we do?" Ye Xiong looked at Zhu Yi hesitantly.
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu were anxious. Their looks shifted from the two sages to Lei Mo's team. At this moment, they didn't know what to choose.
Two True God Realm warriors were of course dangerous. However, at this moment, their aura wasn't too strong, which indicated that their power had been drained too much, and they couldn't perform their best. The only thing they needed to worry about was their soul attacks. But from the current situation, their souls had gotten hurt too. This should be a once in a blue moon opportunity.
In this group, Zhu Yi was considered the smartest. However, under these circumstances, he found it hard to decide the plan. His brows slammed together as he didn't know what they should do.
"Guys, the opponent is apparently not human. And they seem to have a big resentment that can't be solved with the mankind. We have the same goal. If we join hands now and deal with the outsiders, perhaps we can gain what we should have. What do you say?" At this moment, Gongsun Tao swung his arm and shouted.
Lei Mo, Ai Po, and Zhuo Hui nodded silently.
The two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were gloomy. They didn't say anything, as they were trying their best to restore their energy.
"What do you think?" Ye Xiong looked at Zhu Yi with a worried face.
"Wealth requires taking risks," Zhu Yi bit his lips and nodded vehemently. He then turned to Yun Xiu. "Elder Yun, your realm is the lowest here. Can you please take the kids out of here? When they are safe, can you get back here and support us?"
Yun Xiu was surprised. She pondered for a while and then nodded gently.
Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, Lin Zhi, Li Mu Yu, and Bai Hui Quan understood the situation well. When they heard Zhu Yi's words, they walked to Yun Xiu.
Zhu Yi hauled out the crystal flying carriage. Yun Xiu wasn't so courteous. After she got it, she released the power to cover the five juniors and left.

Chapter 580: Counter-attack!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Starlight was moving around Shi Yan as he was flying like a rainbow. He crossed ten li in a few seconds.
The Shady Firmament Old Mound was a vast area. There were many effective barriers in the region. He was lucky that he had the Sky Breaking Shuttle. Once he recognized that he had fallen into a barrier, he used it immediately.
Gliding above many shabby and worn out graveyards, Shi Yan stayed quiet to concentrate his mind and spirit. He didn't dare to relax, even though the fiery flame of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was still covering him.
The Demonic Sound Clan understood soul techniques very well, but the Ghost Mark Clan was much older than them. Of course, they were more profound in this aspect. He had already experienced this.
Without the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, he believed his Sea of Consciousness would have collapsed, and his host soul would have perished.
The Ghost Mark Clan had many hotshots. Besides the two sages, they had around ten Spirit Realm warriors, who had a deep knowledge of using soul techniques. If they attacked Shi Yan, his Sea of Consciousness or his soul would be affected.
He didn't dare to be careless.
Around ten clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan were chasing after him. However, as they had learned from experience, no one dared to use soul attack on him.
Their sage's soul attacks were useless, and they even got hurt. Of course, these clansmen were wise enough. They are not going to attack him using soul power.
Holding the Sky Destroyer, Shi Yan gradually cleared his mind. He was urging his Essence Qi while reasoning.
This time, when the Ghost Mark Clan could see the sunlight again, they would make a big move. Once they let the Ghost Mark Clan have the time they needed to restore their power, this Divine Great Land would have a big catastrophe.
First, it was the Dark Spirit Clan in the Dead Soul Mountain range, and today, the Ghost Mark Clan appeared in the Shady Firmament Old Mound. They were two of the ten ancient clans in the Antiquity time. These two tribes had been confined for so many years; their energies were damaged badly. However, their foundation stood still. In this era, these two clans just needed a period to restore their power. Shortly, they would become the novae.
Whether it was the Dark Spirit Clan or the Ghost Mark Clan, they all had a big loathing towards the mankind. Once they had their power back, it would be the great calamity to human beings.
Why was it so coincidental? The Dark Spirit Clan and the Ghost Mark Clan appeared almost at the same time. Was something about to happen in this land?
A series of thoughts crossed his head swiftly as he vaguely felt something inappropriate.
Members of the Ghost Mark Clan were still chasing behind him. They were like a pack of hungry wolves that would never stop until they could tear and chew him off bloodily.
According to the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Demonic Sound Clan had originated from the Ghost Mark Clan. But it had been countless years. Perhaps the Ghost Mark Clan themselves had never heard about the Demonic Sound Clan and the relation between them.
He had a relationship with the Demonic Sound Clan, so he shouldn't turn his back to the Ghost Mark Clan. Originally, he had thought that he should form a relationship with the Ghost Mark Clan. But when he thought about the wicked resentment in the sages' eyes, he couldn't help but erase that thought.
Shi Yan halted after flying for one hour.
Holding the divine sword, Shi Yan breathed evenly. With a calm complexion, he summoned the War Devil. He contemplated for a while, then called the Ghost Hunter and the King of Demonic Insects.
He waited nonchalantly in a broken tomb.
Not long afterward, members of the Ghost Mark Clan arrived one by one.
There were seven of them, and all had the Spirit Realm cultivation base. The leader had his long hair braided, accompanied by an archaic, strange face. He was a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, with sharp and cold eyes, whose name was Lu Hao
As the chief imperial bodyguard of the Holy Temple of the Ghost Mark Clan, Lu Hao had a profound realm and experience in fighting.
He stopped curtly, then gently rose his arm.
Six members of the Ghost Mark Clan behind him landed slowly. They then scattered around Shi Yan, centering him.
"Come back with us," Lu Hao didn't say unnecessary words. "You have the trace of our tribe's soul technique. You should have some knowledge of our tribe's soul techniques. Come back with me and explain yourself. The sages won't trouble you. We arrived at this land again, but everything here is strange to us. We need men like you to serve us."
In the Antiquity Time, the Ghost Mark Clan had many humans as their servants, who did the strenuous work like exploiting the mines.
At that time, although mankind had been getting stronger gradually, a major part of them was still weak. They were the servants of the bigger tribes. A group of them had permanent soul seals, which were sent to the organizations of human beings to be the insiders.
Lu Hao knew how to treat mankind. He also understood their weakness. That's why he didn't take action right when he met Shi Yan.
Shi Yan listened to his advice quietly, but he wasn't moved. "I think you've misunderstood something, right?"
"Eh?" Lu Hao was astounded. He frowned and said, "Our Sages are at the Peak of True God Realm. Besides them, we have another support. Taking back this land again is just a matter of time. You should submit early. When we unify the whole land in the future, you can be one of our dependencies. Why don't you want that?"
Lu Hao bragged about their future with an arrogant face, as though he thought that the Ghost Mark Clan should be the master of the entire Divine Great Land.
"Oh really…?" Shi Yan smiled, "Then wait until your Ghost Mark Clan finishes uniting this land You can come and tell me again."
Lu Hao got enraged, thundering, "You don't know how to appreciate favors!"
Shi Yan curled his lips, swinging the Sky Destroyer in his hand. A blood-red dragon soared up, darting to Lu Hao.
A destructive and deadly willpower released from the blood-red light dragon. The evil, dreadful aura flooded the area instantly.
Seven clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan changed their complexion.
"Show them some of your colors," Shi Yan rumbled.
War Devil, Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, the Devouring Gold Silkworm flew out, deploying their ferocious attack wave.
"You haven't even restored 20% of your power, but dare to brag about yourself in front of me. Do you know how to write the word 'death'?" Shi Yan grinned, his eyes cold and ruthless.
He wasn't afraid of these seven people, but he was actually scared of the two sages, the True God Realm experts of the Ghost Mark Clan.
He had fled away a really long distance. Before he had left, he had provoked the greed of Lei Mo and Gongsun Tao. At this time, perhaps the two True God Realm sages of the Ghost Mark Clan couldn't even take care of themselves.
Thus, he could relax and deal with the chasers.
Those seven hotshots of the Ghost Mark Clan were all at Spirit Realm. Under typical circumstances, even with the assistance of the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter, he wasn't their opponent.
Anyway, these seven warriors hadn't restored their competence yet. Right now, they were like an arrow at the end of its flight.
They had never thought that Shi Yan had kept many demonic beasts and a dangerous puppet in his Blood Vein Ring. When the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter diffused their brutal aura, Lu Hao's group of seven changed their faces. It was now that they got to know Shi Yan's level.
"Well, you've pursued me for that long. Right now, your spirit's high. I'm not gonna run more, so we can play for a while." Shi Yan cracked a smile, his face dark and wicked. "Your father here wanted to be tender to you. But it's you who don't know how to appreciate favors. You shouldn't blame me, really."

Chapter 581: Fierce battle
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
The seven warriors of the Ghost Mark Clan were all at the Spirit Realm. Lu Hao, the leader, had the most exquisite cultivation base. He had reached the Peak of Spirit Realm, and had an ancient aura.
The Ghost Mark Clan was much stronger than the Demonic Sound Clan. They didn't have the weakness of a weak body. The ghost scripture on each of them was a kind of peculiar martial spirit. Some scripture could help them to train their bodies, which could make their physical prowess much more vigorous and tenacious than warriors who had cultivated physical techniques.
Two out of seven in Lu Hao's group belonged to this type.
These two had purple and green ghost tattoos. They were exquisite like complex arrays, sparkling strangely as they were constantly taking in the heaven and earth aura around.
The spiritual aura of heaven and earth was sucked into the ghost scripture, then converted into flows of pure energy to nurture their blood and bones, which made their bodies inexplicably powerful.
These two clansmen relied on their tenacious bodies, walking to the front of Lu Hao and the other. They were ready to encounter Shi Yan's attack.
The blood-red dragon created by the Sky Destroyer sprayed out scarlet rays of light. Its aura brutally soared up to the sky. Along its way, Yin Qi in the tombs around was washed away. Amidst the thick, bloody scent, the dragon stormed over.
The ghost tattoo on the two clansmen suddenly moved like worms. Strange fluctuations moved in their bodies, as if it was forcing the movement of heaven and earth power to change its trajectory.
The shriveled bodies of these two clansmen became robust; they were even getting taller. Veins bulged under their skin, which gave people a feeling of energy and vitality.
They were like the Devil Clan.
"Howl!"
The two of them shouted in unison. Their voices shook the sky, as a flow of pure strength burst out from their spirit and bodies.
Their arms enlarged. Flows of light that naked eyes could see were streaming towards their fists.
Shortly, their fists turned translucent like jade, shining beautifully. Surging energy could even strike people's hearts.
Crack Crack Crack!
It was beyond people's expectations that their fists suddenly exploded. In the bloody mist, punches burst off like hammers and mountains.
BANG!
The blood dragon storming towards Lu Hao and his group shook under the bombardment. Its refined blood light flickered unsteadily.
After the two clansmen exploded their fists, they were stirred up, recklessly swarming towards Shi Yan with a savage expression.
Their veins burst off in the middle of the air. The tattoos on their bodies sparkled radiantly.
The two members of the Ghost Mark Clan had consumed the pure strength of their bodies, which had been cultivated for ten thousand years. They showed their fangs like a pair of evil spirits.
Shi Yan knitted his brows and grinned fiendishly, "Overreaching yourself."
His thought moved agilely. Negative energy boiled in his body, blending with his Essence Qi and gushing torrentially in his body. A thought of despair, brutality, cruelty, bloodlust, and craze erupted from Shi Yan's body.
Second Sky of Rampage.
Shi Yan's pupils started to redden like the color of blood. His eyes were now full of ruthless intent, while his body started to wither.
Immense mist twirled around his body, creating a thick, white armor. His negative energy was as thick as a torrential river, surging furiously.
Death and Life Seal!
Both of his arms swung. Strange light formed the seal, rumblingly striking out.
The Death Intent Domain was silent but puzzled. Death and life alternated the true meanings of the world, which seemed to happen in the intent domain. Thoughts of Death spread out as cold as ice. It seemed to have something harmonizing with the tranquil Shady Firmament Old Mound.
Flapping wind howled. It seemed that the seed of Death had been planted in the silent atmosphere of the Shady Firmament Old Mound. A completely quiet thought filled the whole area.
The Ghost Mark Clan's clansmen changed their complexions.
"Death power!" Lu Hao screamed instinctively as he hurried to gather himself together. An ice blue light flashed in his eyes.
The ghost tattoo in front of his chest suddenly revived, creating an ice-blue flower shortly. Patterns of his tattoo outlined the flower peculiarly.
An ice-blue flower grew in Lu Hao's chest, as a strange light sparkled indefinitely in his eyes.
Pure energy from Lu Hao's body poured into the flower in his chest. When it bloomed beautifully, it flew out of Lu Hao's chest, flying towards the intent domain created by the Death and Life Seal.
A strange intent domain expanded from the ice blue flower. Under that intent domain, the endless sky and sea Shi Yan had created were interrupted.
The icy blue flower bloomed beautifully. Marvelous energy waves rose and rippled from the flower, that affected the Death Domain.
Shortly, the flower withered. Its petal fluttered like little spirits dancing, which looked magnificent. In this Shady Firmament Old Mound, where Yin Qi permeated everywhere, this was a stunning scene.
During their dance, each petal transformed into seeds, falling on the humid ground.
It was bizarre. Saplings started to sprout from the ground, as if they were strongly against the Death Intent Domain. They were proliferating at the speed that naked eyes could observe.
When the sprouts grew fully, the Death Intent Domain that Shi Yan had strengthened disappeared like the bright moonlight in the mirror.
Shi Yan's sight was hazy.
A cold willpower suddenly shot into his Sea of Consciousness, which woke him up instantly.
Shi Yan was struck. He focused and found that there was nothing in front of him. Lu Hao stood away from him, and the ice blue flower condensed from the ghost tattoo was still on his chest. It hadn't flown out yet.
"Harrumph. You're not good enough to play intent domain with us." Lu Hao's face was cold and disdainful.
Shi Yan was surprised, but he wasn't enraged. He nodded and smiled. "Yeah, right. You guys are the undying old men. Using the intent domain to attack you, well, it seems I was too naïve."
Then, he didn't talk more, but ordered the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter next to him.
War Devil, Ghost Hunter, and Devouring Gold Silkworm flew out and started their bombarding on the clansmen, using force to subdue the others.
Each member of the Ghost Mark Clan had a profound understanding of soul Upanishads and a special knowledge of the natural power Intent Domains.
When encountering them, it wasn't practical if he wanted to win using various changes. Only attacking with pure strength was the statecraft.
The War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the King of Demonic Insects weren't afraid of the Ghost Mark Clan's soul attacks, especially the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter. These two seemed to be immune to soul attacks. They were swaggering among that group of clansmen, not even minding their soul techniques.
The War Devil was like a war chariot, storming over the Ghost Mark Clan's group. Its pressure was heavy as a mountain, slamming down on them.
The Ghost Hunter transformed to its humanoid shape, which had a scale armor on the face, and thorns on the shoulders, elbows, and knees. It was moving like a gust, with its limbs acting as incomparably strong and sharp weapons.
The Devouring Gold Silkworm shot out its golden threads like a spider weaving its web. Its threads nibbled these seven people's space.
Although Lu Hao and his team had high realms, their energy was insufficient. Under the fierce attack of the War Devil, Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the King of Demonic Insects, they fell into peril, and could only try to dodge the sharp tip.
Shi Yan's face was cold. He retrieved the divine sword and clasped his hands, watching the scene. He hadn't taken action yet.
His Soul Consciousness had fluctuated many times.
Flows of Soul Consciousness with space power toured around the Shady Firmament Old Mound, shooting towards the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan.
In that tomb, a fierce battle was taking place like a raging fire.
Lei Mo, Zhuo Hui, Ai Po, and Gongsun Tao were fighting the Ghost Mark Clan. Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, and Yue Ying also took part, using the secret treasures to battle with the clansmen of the Ghost Mark Clan.
The two sages were sitting neatly among the members of their tribe. They stooped down; their mouths wearing an icy smile.
Clear flows of soul fluctuations were shot out from the two sages, as they were striking their soul techniques toward Lei Mo's group.
Members of the seven factions like Lei Mo, Ai Po, and Gongsun Tao couldn't help but take out all soul defense treasures. The gorgeous light from those treasures was neutralizing soul attacks of the two sages, while they were trying their best to break through to the center of the clansmen's barricade where the two sages were sitting.
These two sages were restoring their power, taking in the heaven and earth spiritual Qi.
After they had escaped from the confinement, their dried power had just recovered inadequately. They couldn't have regained their competence that fast.
They were seizing the time.
When they gathered enough power to perform their martial techniques, Lei Mo and the others would never be able to escape their thunder.
Lei Mo's team knew this well, so they attacked more furiously to capture the sages.
Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness continued to search the corners of the Shady Firmament Old Mound.
A figure appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
Lei Mo's son, Lei Ji.
He didn't stay at the same spot with Ai Ya. He was hiding behind a gravestone, watching the battle between Lei Mo and the Ghost Mark Clan. His eyes sparkled with a sinister, ruthless light.
Some dead bodies lay behind Lei Ji. They were the warriors of the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple. One of the was Mo Ling Er.
Her face paled, and her expression was panic-stricken as if she had encountered something really terrible before she died.
Standing next to the corpses, Lei Ji squinted. He lifted his head, looking at the void. A flash crossed his eyes.
Shi Yan's flow of Soul Consciousness got hit.
His Sea of Consciousness was shaken. He screamed in fear, his face frightened.
Even the sages of the Ghost Mark Clan couldn't notice his Soul Consciousness, but Lei Ji had smashed it easily. This surprised Shi Yan a lot.
"He's the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame," The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent him a thought. "Be careful. He's borrowing that body to restore his power."

Chapter 582: Shake the God!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
Lei Ji was possessed!
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame with the brutal fame in the ancient time was born from lightning and thunder of the Nine Skies. It had the most powerful thunder power that could even destroy the world. If it weren't exhausted through so many years, then when it finally got out of the confinement, it could create a great calamity in the Divine Great Land, putting this land through utter miseries.
Amongst the nine heaven flames, it was the most extreme, and also the one who liked slaughtering the most. It was so hostile to other races. If it could restore its power, many people in this world wouldn't sleep in peace.
When the lightning destroyed his flow of Soul Consciousness, Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness shook, but he restored it immediately.
As his flow of Soul Consciousness was searching every corner of the Shady Firmament Old Mound, images appeared lively in his Sea of Consciousness.
His Sea of Consciousness was like a bright mirror that reflected all regions of the Shady Firmament Old Mound, and he didn't miss a scene.
He saw Yun Xiu controlling the flying carriage, taking the juniors away from where the Ghost Mark Clan gathered as fast as lightning…
He also saw Ai Ya…
Ai Ya paled, standing in between the Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms. Fear appeared in her eyes as if she had encountered a big shock; her mind hadn't steadied yet.
His Soul Consciousness with space power glided swiftly in the Shady Firmament Old Mound, constantly transmitting images to him.
Shi Yan watched the situations inside the Shady Firmament Old Mound. With this direct-viewing method, he understood the details of each fight like the back of his hand.
This feeling's terrific!
A man who stands ten thousand miles away could see every single change from such distance. This ability could be compared to that of God!
While he was carefully keeping track of all the changes in the Shady Firmament Old Mound in his Sea of Consciousness, he squinted, grinned and evaluated the fight in front of him nonchalantly.
Lo Hao and his team were struggling hard under the furious attack of the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter. They only had room to dodge.
War Devil with its heavy black armor that no saber or sword could give it a scratch sometimes cracked a black hole in its palm, drawing in all aura that Lu Hao and his team emitted.
Lu Hao's team attacked War Devil, but they couldn't leave a mark on it. They could only hear the clinging sounds of metal impacts.
The Ghost Hunter had turned into its ferocious humanoid form, as agile as electricity. Its dark aura and devil aura were fused to create the evilest power ever, constantly pushing Lu Hao's team to back off.
The energy of the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter were enough to oppress Lu Hao's team. The King of Demonic Insects and the Devouring Gold Silkworm were just to improve the perfection.
"Retreat!"
Lu Hao shouted abruptly, his face sinister and vicious. He hurried to make the way out.
The ghost tattoo on his chest changed again, turning into a thick gold cloud. Clusters of gold cloud scattered from his chest, hindering behind him.
The other clansmen who saw Lu Hao's deed immediately followed him. The ghost scriptures on their bodies changed that naked eyes couldn't observe it.
Some had their tattoo turned into armor. The others had an ice wall. One had layers of barriers enhancing each other making for thick protection that was hard to destroy.
The Ghost tattoo was a kind of special martial spirit with the innate power. When Lu Hao's team united, their defense was unbreakable.
War Devil, Ghost Hunter, and Devouring Gold Silkworm attacked together. They furiously barged onto the barrier, but they couldn't smash that layered barrier. They could only see Lu Hao's team retreating.
Shi Yan's visage was cold. He grinned then shouted, "Break!"
The Sky Breaking Shuttle shot out. Its silver bunch of rays was like breaking dried branches, piercing through the defense, creating a big, deep hole.
War Devil and Ghost Hunter got in to attack the enemy. They pursued Lu Hao's group closely.
"Not good!"
Lu Hao paled in fright. Blood trickled from his mouth uncontrollably as he hoarsely cried.
The other six members of the Ghost Mark Clan had the light in their eyes scattered. They were panicked. Instinctively, they wanted to use the secret techniques to escape.
The defense created by the innate tattoo was linked with their Sea of Consciousness. Once it was damaged, their Sea of Consciousness would be shaken violently that hurt their souls.
Lu Hao and his team could never guess that Shi Yan had a weapon that was against the natural order like the Sky Breaking Shuttle. Any barriers would be pierced through like a thin sheet of paper under its marvelous power.
Lu Hao's team had their soul hurt. Blood trickled down from the corners of their mouths. The lights on their ghost tattoos were dim, like a flickering candle in the wind, which could be blown out at any minute.
Shi Yan was calm, slowly walked through the heavy barrier on the ecliptic the Sky Breaking Shuttle had created. He took each step toward Lu Hao's team. He was about to finish them within one strike.
"Request reinforcement!"
As Lu Hao saw him coming, he shouted deafeningly, clenching his jaw.
A group of Ghost Mark Clan's clansmen transmitted the same surging soul signal from the Sea of Consciousness. Flows of Soul Consciousness weaved like shuttles, shooting toward the sky and disappearing leaving no trace.
--
In the tomb where the Ghost Mark Clan gathered.
Two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were closing their eyes to adjust their breathing. Abruptly, they jolted up. Murderous aura shot out from their eyes.
The eyes of the sage who had talked to Shi Yan had an immense rolling divine light that looked like a meteor shooting to a far land, soaring to the sky.
Spiritual Qi gathered in that light with numerous colorful spots. It flashed then disappeared into the void as though it had crossed spaces.
Shi Yan was about to attack the others. Suddenly, a flow of unease emotion came to him. A strand of his Soul Consciousness immediately sent an image.
A flow of shooting light looked like a meteor with a long flaming tail was gathering earth and heaven aura. It was flying fiercely as if it wanted to pierce the earth and sky to tunnel a level passage. This light carried along clear soul fluctuations. These soul fluctuations locked him, running toward him!
"This is the Foreign Sky Disseminating Flame. To create it, you have to use the soul at the True God Realm to be the mediator to gather the Essence Qi and aura of meteors in the foreign sky," the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent him its thought right before the light shone on his Sea of Consciousness.
Shi Yan was struck. His face was more serious than he had never been before. He immediately urged all powers in his body to create the Gravitational Field in just a short moment.
The Gravitational Field was condensed from the different powers that covered him. He then released the Dark Light Shield, the Star Shield, and urged the Petrification Martial Spirit to the acme. He had mobilized all the powers in his body in silence.
A flow of shooting light zoomed over from far in the sky. It looked like a riotous five-colored river pouring down from the sky. Glorious light spots gathered in that shooting light. Earth and heaven spiritual Qi around there seemed to find a drainage for itself, massively flowed into that shooting light, making it more earth-shaking.
"Although that True God Realm sent just a little of his energy to guide it, the power that this Foreign Sky Disseminating Flame gathers is really intimidating. You should pray for yourself," the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent him a message.
Shi Yan's heart shivered.
Since he had been in this world, he had met so many strong enemies, but never the attack of a True God Realm expert.
In Divine Great Land, True God Realm was the peak existence. Each of them was the earth-shattering character. Most of the warriors had to bow to them. The meaning of this level expert was inexplicably invincible!
Although the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan hadn't restored more than 20% of their real competence, they were still True God Realm experts. Reaching the True God Realm meant they had the God Soul with the undying soul ability. Unless they were attacked by a special divine weapon, their soul would never perish.
Being the target of this level expert, even though Shi Yan had big guts, he couldn't help but be uneasy.
He had urged all the defensive barriers he had. Staying inside the Gravitational Field, he was waiting in silence, his breathing heavy.
The shooting light sometimes was like a white ribbon and sometimes looked like a sharp sword suddenly disappeared.
After fifteen minutes, the Gravitational Field covering him was shaking violently. This magnetic field created by many different kinds of power was about to be pierced through by some sharp weapon. His energies were torn apart.
Shortly, the Gravitational Field was broken by an invincible force.
The shooting light appeared again.
Suddenly, Shi Yan became discolored and shouted as his whole body was enlarging. His eyes reddened as if they were sprayed with blood. His face was brutal and ruthless.
Shooting light plunged down fast. Sparks of light filled the sky. A violent force that could explode everything was moving, pressing down imposingly.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
Starlight of the Star Shield was melted in the flame. The power of his Star Martial Spirit was running out.
The shooting light grumblingly pressed down.
Star Shield and the Dark Light Shield exploded.
The surging power erupted like the collapsing mountain from Shi Yan's body. He was standing like a rock. But now he got hit like a heavy mallet had pounded on him. Crispy sounds echoed from his knees. Shi Yan fell on the ground.
A violent force torrentially moved in his body. Bones in his body cracked. Vessels and meridians were broken. His internal organs seemed to be displaced. He gushed out blood.
At this moment, Shi Yan felt like he had a wild beast stormed his body, biting him and ripping him apart. This pain was like someone was drilling his heart, which was unbearable.
He was always a man with the will of steel. However, under such pains, he couldn't bear it. His mind was hazy and his consciousness blurred.
Suddenly.
A cold ice that chilled to his bones rose from his Sea of Consciousness. The extreme cold power was like an ice-cold stream, raising in his body and his Sea of Consciousness.
Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness was shaken. His mind, which was about to scatter, restored part of its calmness.
Whistle Whistle Whistle!
Negative energy from seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points shot out as if it was blown away by gusts.
The bloodthirsty, wild, desperate, and intimidating aura of the negative energy was like the ferocious beast in the ancient time. It started to move in his body, making his body the battlefield.
Crack Crack Crack!
Bones in his body broke continually, and his vessels were cracked badly. Shi Yan was now a blood man, as he was covered in his own blood. He looked pitiful and scary like a Bloody Ghost. So extreme!
Not far from that, Lu Hao's team was backing off constantly and still gazing at him.
War Devil, Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and King of Demonic Insects had their intellect. When they recognized that their master had big problems, they didn't chase their target further but gathered around Shi Yan to guard him.
"Muhwahahha."
A strange, crafty laughter arose from the light of a lightning strike that suddenly struck out.
Lei Ji.

Chapter 583: Fate fusion
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
Shi Yan looked like a Bloody Ghost. His body soaked in blood. His vessels cracked. His eyes were bloodshot.
The crazy, violent energy from the Foreign Sky Disseminating Flame was wreaking havoc in his body. The violence of this energy was hard to imagine. It had devastated Shi Yan's body like a paste pulp. It's horrible to look at him.
The cold air that chilled to his bones was absorbed into flesh and bones in his entire body. It then expanded in Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness, which helped him restore his consciousness.
Crack Crack Crack!
The sound of ice congealing arose in his body. Thick layers of ice and mist appeared, enveloping him.
The cold aura of the Ice Cold Flame burst out abruptly!
From the Blood Vein Ring as the core, the cold power permeated his organs and limbs. It came to each fraction of his vessels to freeze it. Currently, his severely damaged body was frozen.
A cold stream flowed in his soul. A gloomy, cold light shone on Shi Yan's bloodshot pupils.
War Devil, Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the King of Demonic Insects were standing in guard. The Blood Vein Ring flashed with red light. The Holy Spirit God and the Earth Flame disclosed themselves silently. They were watching over Shi Yan from different directions, keeping him in the middle of their protection circle.
It was Lei Ji.
He was smiling deceitfully, standing one hundred meters away from Shi Yan. He wasn't hurried. Lightning was weaving in his eyes, shining dangerously that could haunt people.
To be exact, he was the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, the second rank among the nine heaven flames with the brutal fame. This flame liked to slaughter. He hated every creature that had a body. He was born from lightning. His existence seemed to destroy this world.
He looked at Shi Yan oddly, but he didn't move. Lightning strikes were constantly moving in his eyes.
Rumble Rumble!
Nine Skies God Thunder boomed. No one knows how and where it came from. The subterranean Shady Firmament Old Mound was shaking unceasingly.
In the reverberating thunder, a bunch of thunder snakes slithered in the air with their long, scary tongues. They looked lively, hiding perceptibly in the gloomy horizon. Those snakes were carrying a wild, bloodthirsty energy that could be burst out at any minute.
The group of strange creatures including Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm couldn't hide their fear. Under such heaven power, they started to be agitated.
That kind of thunder and lightning could destroy all creatures' souls. Strange creatures like Ghost Hunter and the Devouring Gold Silkworm, when they got hit, all the traces of their existences in this world would be eradicated.
Among the heaven flames, besides the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame was the second one who had the power that could destroy souls directly.
Let alone the demonic beasts like the Ghost Hunter or the Devouring Gold Silkworm, even the strange living beings like the Earth Flame or the Holy Spirit God couldn't bear it.
In legend, when the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's energy was strongest, it could even burn the God Soul of King God!
In the reverberating thunder, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame suddenly stooped then shouted, "Get out!"
Shi Yan's bloody body was frozen. From a distance, he looked like a giant blood crystal, which was strange and scary in this gloomy tomb underground.
Crack Crack Crack!
The cracking sound echoed unceasingly from his body. It was the sound of breaking bones and cracking vessels.
His consciousness was restored. He looked at the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, which had occupied Lei Ji's body. Bloodthirsty intent filled his bloodshot eyes as if he didn't care about how strong his opponent was or how fatigue his body was.
"He's coming for me."
"And me."
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and the Ice Cold Flame sent him their soul fluctuations. Two strange auras flowed along his frozen vessels and got out of his body.
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was bright silver, and the Ice Cold Flame was crystal white. They were now the two small flames, standing on Shi Yan's right and left shoulders.
An exhausted willpower stormed into the deep place in his soul. Then, the soul energy of his host soul was forcefully drawn half, contributing to the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame jumped out. Under the dim-lit Shady Firmament Old Mound, it revealed a small, handsome appearance, which somehow similar to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan was stunned, looking at the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. He could feel clearly a mysterious thread that connected him and a bright silver flame. This thread was invisible and intangible. He could only use soul contact to sense it.
Under the connection of that soul thread, his original soul power was drawn and poured into the bright silver flame bit by bit, which surged the vitality of that flame.
The Ice Cold Flame couldn't have that treat. Shi Yan and it hadn't fused into one so it couldn't have the soul aid from Shi Yan. It was like a small snowflake, releasing the extremely cold though to create an invisible ice wall to shield the thunder and lightning from the other.
"Living beings like us have received the favor of earth and firmament to be born into this world. You are supposed to rule every creature. But you, you two are wallowing in degeneration, living on a low human. You two are the big shame of our heaven flames! I come here to unchain you. And, I'll let you fuse with me. We will become one. We will see the origin. We will become the God of all creatures, big or small. We will build the regime that will rule tens of thousands of years!"
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame spoke as if it was singing with a strange melody. It slowly talked with arrogant lines.
"The power of his and mine are damaged badly through time. But you, after a long time of constant consuming, you don't have even 1% left. You are no difference from us. You want us to consider you the origin, fuse with you and deem you our master. Do you think you can do that?"
The small, handsome face that the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame condensed was cold, ruthless and disdainful.
The Ice Cold Flame was a thumb-sized crystal clear snowflake, which had a milky white flame inside. It was surging with vehement soul energy. "We are all heaven flames. Why do you want to harm yourself and us? If you absorb us, of course, you can be stronger. But your current power can't do that. My advice to you, leave. After several times of thunder calamities, when you can regain your power, you can consider this one more time."
"Haha. I'll evolve to another level when I take you in. My recovery will be faster. Until I'm fully recovered, I'm not able to challenge it. You are the stone that I can use to challenge it. You should be honored. I'm trying for the "Last Mark of Fusion" in our fates. When we fuse, it follows the Sky Order. This is your fate. You can't violate it and you must not violate it."
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame spoke with neither slow nor fast tone. Its tune was like a Buddhist prayer, which was filled with ancient aura as if it was the Great God of the Antiquity, who was praying for the fortune of all creatures, showing them on the path of God.
"If you are determined, you can try. Although I can't recover my power fully, you are the same with me. You can eradicate my soul. I can also burn your seal. You can try me," said the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame solemnly.
Shi Yan's soul shivered.
His soul power surged like a liquid being drawn out and poured into the flame's soul.
The aura of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was strengthened immediately. A silver flame burst out that could burn down all soul auras of creatures. This was so imposing.
Shi Yan could recognize that this flame looked as if it was facing its archenemy.
Facing the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, the one that had a higher ranking with a better level of evolution, the flame that was always arrogant in his soul started to urge all its power to counter.
"If I fail, your soul will perish together with me," the flame sent Shi Yan its thought. "Although I'm depressed, my soul and your soul are fused. From now on, we will enjoy triumphs together and bear the damage together. Thus, you have to send your soul power to me unceasingly. That guy's so strong. Only borrowing your power can give me a way to survive."
"Besides that, what else I can help you?" Shi Yan was panicked.
"No creature can interfere the battle between heaven flames. Once we start, the power of nature will form a seal of origin to confine us. Inside that seal, no power could interfere. Since I've fused with your soul, I can borrow your soul power. However, your realm is too low. And you haven't formed the God Soul yet. I don't know how far you could help me. Sigh, if I weren't hurt badly in that formation, I wouldn't have needed your soul to restore myself. Such a wrong decision…"
Shi Yan smiled miserably.
Until now, he finally knew that in that fusion between him and the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame in that abandoned area was the flame's initiative.
Through its explanation, Shi Yan understood that the barrier in that abandoned place had hurt its soul badly. This flame had the power to kill souls, but it couldn't use the soul to recover itself.
Although there's a way to restore its soul, it didn't have a choice at that time. Seemed it couldn't use the other method around to recover. It could only fuse its soul with some creature, using that creature's soul to restore itself gradually.
It could see Shi Yan's potential. That's why it had chosen him.
Originally, Shi Yan couldn't understand why he had fused with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame inexplicably like that. But now he got it from the flame itself.
"You need only the soul power? Anything else that could help you?" Shi Yan cleared his mind then inquired the flame immediately.
According to the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, if its soul perished, his soul would die altogether. Under such circumstance, Shi Yan didn't have a choice. He had to support it with all of his abilities to save its life and his own life.
"You're too weak…" sighed the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, as if it had a huge regret.
Shi Yan gritted his teeth, his face indignant.
"Lucky that we have the Ice Cold Flame. And, after the Earth Flame evolves, it can join us, too," the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame continued, "If it's possible, let us attack altogether, we can increase the chance to win. Ah, right, they have to be in this too. Otherwise, when I fail, they can't escape the consequence of being absorbed."
Shi Yan was scared.
"It's true. If this fails, we can't survive," said the Ice Cold Flame begrudgingly.
The Earth Flame sparkled dazzlingly. From its thought, this flame had the same idea with the Ice Cold Flame. It could also see the wrong things.
They understood well that they had no exit this time and that they could only fight with all their lives to have the next evolution to a more complete form. Otherwise, when the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame absorbed them, the countless-year-journey of their lives would be erased directly.
They must join this fight.

Chapter 584: Immortal body!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Cyan lightning balls flew out from Lei Ji's body; each of them had the brutal lightning power as the core.
World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's real soul gradually flew out from Lei Ji's eyes. The cyan flame was covered in blue-green rays. Each blue ray had an electric current, which seemed malicious and scorching.
Lightning balls rolled, tearing the air to attack Shi Yan. The original flame the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame had generated hid in those lightning balls to manipulate them.
Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi around seemed to be guided by some kind of power, gathering here from every direction. A deep meaning of natural power seemed to be urged, slowly forming and changing…
Spiritual Qi and Yin Qi in the Shady Firmament Old Mound were all washed away, dragged to this place to create layers of a thick vacuum energy wall.
The handsome face of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame next to Shi Yan became tense. He looked forward, as a surging soul fluctuation was shot out from his body, creating this change in heaven and earth.
The radiantly glorious Ice Cold Flame and Earth Flame had brought out their power at the same time. Their scorching flames started to lean against the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.
A torrential surging fluctuation appeared from deep underground. Under the urge of numerous beams of heaven and earth aura, lightning balls created by the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame exploded. Thunder and lightning interweaved as space distorted.
A multicolored light came out of nowhere, pouring into that chaos of thunder and lightning. In that space, the original flame of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame suddenly had a vehement living fluctuation. It was shining blazingly like a cyan sun.
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, and the Earth Flame seemed to be bound by the heaven and earth forces. They turned into three flows of flame, swarming into the area where thunder and lightning were interweaving.
When the three heaven flames disappeared, the strange area that the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame had created suddenly exploded, just like the rupturing of a planet.
Countless flows of sharp and violent energy interlinked and inciting each other, making that area a show of the most dazzling fireworks, where rays of beautiful light filled the air.
Shortly, the auras of the four heaven flames disappeared.
Shi Yan stood with his bloody body amidst the War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, and the King of Demonic Insects. His face was extremely grave.
He could vaguely feel that the four heaven flames were somewhere near him.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to search, his Soul Consciousness couldn't locate the four heaven flames, let alone his naked eyes.
Crack Crack Crack!
His bones cracked again. The pain like someone was drilling his heart spread over his body, which woke him up.
The wounds in his body hadn't been recovered yet. Today, he had fallen into a really awful situation.
Taking a deep breath, he temporarily left the thought of putting forth everything to connect with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. He quietly used the Immortal Rebirth Secret to move the energy of his blood and refine drops of immortal blood at the same time.
Three drops of immortal blood bloomed like three flowers in his body. Flows of strange energy absorbed into his vessels shortly.
His Immortal Blood took effect instantly. Blood flowed in his body, turning into a warm stream that reached his bones.
Performing the Immortal Rebirth Secret, Shi Yan had used his Immortal Blood and Immortal Martial Spirit to cure the body that was covered with wounds. He was healed at speed that naked eyes could see.
Under the miraculous effect of the Immortal Blood, his cut vessels and meridians were connected, his broken bones were reborn. He was revived!
The energy of the blood had refined his bones into a color of ink-black glass. Now, they were translucent like black jade, and the hardness had been promoted on a large scale.
Under the excruciating pain, he was like a reincarnated phoenix carrying out the extremely strange transformation.
In the final phase of the Immortal Secret Rebirth, he felt as if he were forged by a giant hammer. Under the acme of pain, his body was like refined iron under pounding, where sparks shot out everywhere.
Shi Yan stooped and roared. He was bleeding badly. However, the blood gushed out was sucked back again into the wounds.
In his body, numerous strange energies were moving like blood rivers, as they were starting to refine his body one more time.
Not long after that, the cuts on his body closed.
Besides some bloodstains on his skin, from a distance, he looked like he had never been hurt. Even his face was glowing with health.
The Immortal Rebirth Technique was the number one secret technique of the Yang family's Immortal Canon. Only members of the Yangs, who had the Immortal Martial Spirit could practice this secret.
In their family's history, each member who could succeed in using the Immortal Rebirth Secret was an expert with a strong will and the Immortal Blood. The Yangs, unless their souls were eradicated, always had a chance to revive.
If he could practice Immortal Rebirth Secret to an exquisite level, he could make his Immortal Martial Spirit evolve to a great height. According to the writings in Immortal Canon, the Yang family's experts could have their soul immortal and their body undying in a mysterious realm.
When warriors of the Yang family reached their top realm, as long as they had one drop of Immortal Blood in their bodies, they could use the Immortal Martial Spirit and Immortal Rebirth Secret to create a new body from that drop of Immortal Blood. Even if their flesh and souls were smashed, they could always use the blood to restore everything.
This was the invincible state they could achieve when combining three things - the Immortal Rebirth Secret, the Immortal Martial Spirit, and the Immortal Blood.
Of course, it was a long distance until Shi Yan could reach such level.
However, his wounds weren't as bad as a being pulp of flesh. Thus, under the combination of the three said conditions, his wounds were healed rapidly.
Everything the Immortal Rebirth Secret circled, a new round of refining his body. When he was completely recovered, he would be more robust and more tenacious than before.
The reason why Yang Tian Emperor wasn't afraid under Bo Xun, and Chi Yan's torture was that he had been refined so many times.
Each time of refining was another transformation. After each transformation, bones, blood, vessels, and flesh would have strengthened furthermore.
After several transformations, a warrior with regular foundation could have a tremendous physique.
This was the first time Shi Yan had the immortal transformation.
Inside the circle of the five strange living beings, War Devil, Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm, King of Demonic Insect, and Holy Spirit God, Shi Yan balled his body, grunting in his throat like a confined animal trying its best to struggle out of the cage.
"Ah!" Yun Xiu changed her visage on the flying carriage. She concentrated her mind and sensed. Then, she shouted suddenly. "It's Shi Yan!"
Li Mu Yu, Lin Zhi, Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, and Bai Hui Quan were astounded. Then they tried to sense quietly.
Yun Xiu didn't give them time to sense. She contemplated, then changed the direction of the flying carriage towards the place where Shi Yan's voice was arising from.
This secret treasure using Essence Qi was miraculous. Under the effect of the top grade Essence Qi, it was extremely fast.
Not long after that, Yun Xiu arrived where Shi Yan was screaming. She looked at him with fright.
"Ah!"
Bai Hui Quan couldn't help but cover her mouth while screaming, her face disbelieving as if she was watching a marvel.
Luo Xiao, Lin Zhi, and Li Mu Yu also dropped their jaws and stood motionlessly. They didn't know what to say, just watching from a distance.
It was a complete silence.
In front of them, Shi Yan was screaming while his bones were cracking as if some invisible weapons were pounding on him. His body distorted. It seemed his bones were all misplaced. His face was brutal, while a wild light shot out from his eyes.
Flows of dark red light were moving under his skin, in his flesh like worms crawling in every corner of his body.
They could see bloodstains all over his body, which made him look like a bloody man.
Shi Yan was twisting his body amidst his terrible screams. His bones cracked constantly, and his vessels were elongated and deformed.
It was like a demon was hiding in his body, torturing him as much as it pleased to erode his body.
However, in such a bizarre situation, his aura was ruthless, and the heavy energy fluctuations were rising immensely from him unceasingly.
"He is…"
Bai Hui Quan covered her mouth, her eyes twinkling. Astonishment filled her face.
"Changing bones transformation!"
Yun Xiu was disbelieving. Fright reflected in her beautiful eyes. "Normally, low-realm warriors can easily use the secret technique to transform. In the Nirvana Realm, really rare warriors could change their bones and undergo the transformation. Transformation means re-forging the body. Extreme changes can happen at any time…"
"How about him?" Lin Zhi screamed.
"He's undergoing a transformation using some secret technique, probably. In theory, warriors at his realm will never dare to change their bones or transform. During that process, some unpredictable factors can happen. If he's careless, his soul will perish."
Yun Xiu hesitated for a while and then said, "Before he started the transformation, he seems to have gotten hurt badly. In this situation, his success rate will be certainly low…"
"So, what to do?" Luo Xiao paled, asking worriedly. "Shi Yan boss always treats us well. Elder Yun, do you know how to help him?"
Yun Xiu was a bit embarrassed, shaking her head begrudgingly. "I don't know the method he's using. My realm isn't high enough to help him reorder. At this moment, we don't have any method to help him. We could only watch."
"What happens to Shi Yan-ge?" Luo Meng pondered then said, "It should be the Ghost Mark Clan who did it. Otherwise, with boss' competence, he wouldn't be passive."
"They…" Yun Xiu shook her head, looking at the five strange living beings around him, then continued with a forced smile. "Those chasers couldn't hurt him."
As she had the Second Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base, she could vaguely feel the aurae of the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter. She knew that under their protection, Ghost Mark Clan's chasers couldn't hurt Shi Yan.
"Is it..."
Yun Xiu thought then discolored. She couldn't help but look at the void above her head with panic. She was anxious.

Chapter 585: Molting!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
From the aura the War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the Holy Spirit God were exuding, only the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan could hurt Shi Yan.
Those clansmen, who hadn't restored their power yet, weren't a match for the War Devil or Ghost Hunter. They didn't even have enough power to engage a battle, so how could they hurt him?
The two sages weren't here.
Experts at the True God Realm had many supernatural secret techniques. Beheading someone from thousands of miles away was easy to them. If they had attacked Shi Yan, it was possible that they could wound Shi Yan to that level.
Besides the two sages, Yun Xiu couldn't think of anybody else who could trouble Shi Yan that much.
She was correct.
Rechecking the void above their head, Yun Xiu suddenly felt very insecure. Light sparkled in her eyes as she said, "We should leave first!"
"Elder Yun!"
Luo Xiao and Luo Meng screamed hurriedly.
"Teacher!"
Bai Hui Quan couldn't understand, looking inexplicably at Yun Xiu.
"We don't have time to explain much. Anyway, we have to leave quickly." Yun Xiu took a cold breath. She felt tense, as if there were a pair of eyes watching her coldly.
She could even recognize the spiritual Qi around this place was disordered and chaotic, which hinted of a dangerous risk.
But she didn't know that her feeling came from the four heaven flames, and not the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan.
At this moment, the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were besieged. They had to struggle against Lei Mo's team, so they didn't have extra time to pay attention to this area.
Yun Xiu didn't know that. She felt that the strange atmosphere around her was caused by the two sages.
She didn't let Luo Xiao and Bai Hui Quan have more chances to inquire. Yun Xiu used a dark green fabric sheet to cover these juniors inside the carriage, and drove the flying carriage away.
Although Luo Xiao and the others didn't want that, they had no way under the binding of Yun Xiu's secret treasure. They could only see Shi Yan zooming out until he completely disappeared from their sight.
Yun Xiu's team came here and lingered for around the time of ten breaths, then left hurriedly.
After Yun Xiu had driven the flying carriage away, another flash sparkled near Shi Yan. A long-limbed figure appeared quietly.
Ai Ya.
Under the dim-lit light, she looked like a lonely spirit moving towards Shi Yan.
Ai Ya halted in midway. Cold light like sharp sabers shot out from her beautiful eyes, hitting Lei Ji.
Lei Ji was standing a hundred zhang (333 meters) away from Shi Yan in the middle of some graves. He stood solemnly, but there was no breathing. He was like a withered tree without vitality.
However, the torrential, violent thunder and lightning power were moving clearly in his body.
There was no soul but the evil, brutal energy in his body. Lei Ji's change was inexplicably bizarre.
Ai Ya stood far from Lei Ji. Her beautiful eyes coldly stare at him as if she were contemplating.
Anyway, she didn't pay much attention to Shi Yan. She just gave him a look and then turned away. This looked like Shi Yan's change wasn't a surprise to her.
Ai Ya watched Lei Ji in silence. Her gorgeous eyes showed a complex set of emotions. Hatred. Resentment. Doubt. They were changing as she was making her mind up on a difficult decision.
Long afterward, Ai Ya had her decision. From a hundred zhang away, she formed a hand seal. Silver light flashed in her palms.
The evil sharp light shot out. It was a dagger-like silver hairpin, which was full of dangerous surging energy.
The silver hairpin drew a graceful curve in the air, disappearing into Lei Ji's chest.
Puff!
The silver hairpin pierced through Lei Ji's chest, making another curve in the air, then disappearing.
Ai Ya snatched it. The silver hairpin flashed, then reappeared in her palm. She arched her brows, watching Lei Ji as if she were waiting for something in silence.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
The strange noise echoed in Lei Ji's body as if some force was decomposing his body.
Ai Ya relaxed, exhaling in relief.
Boom!
However, a rumbling thunder echoed from Lei Ji's body.
More than ten sharp needles of the silver hairpin were erased in that thunder.
As the master of the secret treasure, Ai Ya was hurt severely. Her Soul Consciousness trembled, and her pretty face grimaced in fear.
"Roar!"
At the same time, Shi Yan roared hoarsely. His face was as sinister as a demon.
Ai Ya's Soul Consciousness got hurt, and she was more frightened on hearing Shi Yan's roar. At this moment, she finally realized that someone else was here, too. Ai Ya turned around to check.
A thick, bloody scent diffused from Shi Yan. His blood pupils were ruthless and bloodthirsty.
Ai Ya was startled. Her face became grim as she was moving energy in her body, ready to counter at any minute.
Eventually, she recognized Shi Yan's dangerous situation.
Ai Ya smiled, her face cold. The silver hairpin in her hand circled, then retreated.
She assumed that Shi Yan was about to undoubtedly die.
Ghost Hunter, War Devil, and the other strange living beings were still protecting him in silence. They didn't attack her initially, but they were evaluating Ai Ya. Once Ai Ya made a move with an evil intention, they would bombard her.
Ai Ya had soon known that those strange creatures were dangerous. However, it seemed she had another shield, so she wasn't afraid of them.
Of course, she wouldn't provoke them proactively. She retreated, trying to prevent causing any conflict with those peculiar creatures.
Ai Ya took several steps back. She gathered her energy the second time, using a special technique to attack Lei Ji's body one more time. They didn't know how deep her resentment for Lei Ji was.
"Phew Phew Phew!"
Shi Yan panted and screamed in pain. He was at the last step of molting his body using the Immortal Rebirth Technique. Energy rolled vehemently in his blood, getting absorbed into his bones and marrow, making them crystalline, ink-black, and more tenacious.
Each muscle of his was convulsing, as its fibers were sucking power from his blood. Strange changes happened altogether with the pain. Even his Sea of Consciousness was boiled, constantly surging with violent waves.
While his Sea of Consciousness was raging, his host soul was calm. It used the change of the Sea of Consciousness to refill the consumed soul power through the Soul Consciousness.
In this strange situation, Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness had a transformation along with his body.
Boom!
His Sea of Consciousness was turbulent. The third eye of his host soul was dazzling like a star or a diamond.
In this fraction of the time, he formed the connection with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. He could sense the invisible, intangible soul fiber again.
At this moment, during his painful transformation, his mind restored.
He glared at Ai Ya while an evil light sparkled in his blood pupils. He said calmly, "What are you doing?"
Ai Ya was using her secret martial techniques to attack Lei Ji from a distance. She looked like she wanted to smash Lei Ji to a pulp of flesh.
Ai Ya heard his voice and was startled. She looked at Shi Yan deeply, then pretended to be calm. "What does it matter to you?"
"Did Lei Ji try to kill you?" Shi Yan threw her a glare, sneering.
Ai Ya was scared, shouting. "How did you know that?"
Shi Yan put on a mocking look and snorted, but didn't explain.
After the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame had possessed Lei Ji, it controlled Lei Ji to kill the low-realm warriors like Mo Ling Er. Perhaps it wanted to restore its power using slaughtering. Ai Ya was with Lei Ji all the time, so she should have been the first target of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
However, this woman survived the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's attack, which was beyond Shi Yan's assumption.
"You're excellent. Seems you had a big harvest in the toxic lands. Otherwise, you couldn't survive Lei Ji's attack. Congratulations. Your sinister heart has kept you safe until now," Shi Yan sneered.
Ai Ya discolored. "How did you know that Lei Ji attacked me? Why? We were friends from childhood. Why did he suddenly become so ruthless to me?!" The more she talked, the worse control she had. She looked like she had a mental illness, with her inexplicably evil smile.
She was Ai Po's daughter, and Lei Ji was Lei Mo's son. The White Emperor City wasn't too far from the Thunder Emperor City. Ai Po and Lei Mo were close friends, and she and Lei Ji had grown up together. There was a hazy affection between them.
Lei Ji had attacked her all of a sudden. If she hadn't had some secret treasures, she would have been killed instantly.
Until now, she had no idea of what had happened. She didn't understand why Lei Ji, who always nurtured her and followed her, became that fiercely heartless.
She didn't know what had happened.
Shi Yan knew something, but he hated her dark heart, so he didn't explain anything and just sneered.
"Tell me! Why is that? Why did he treat me that way?" Ai Ya shouted.
"You deserve that," Shi Yan didn't answer her.
Ai Ya paled.
Shi Yan didn't pay attention to her anymore, pointed to her and ordered the Ghost Hunter. "Kill her."
The Ghost Hunter roared.
Shi Yan sat neatly, slowly adjusting his breathing. He concentrated his mind and spirit, following that soul fiber to search for the place where the four heaven flames were fighting.
Ai Ya's eyes were cold, watching the Ghost Hunter. She gritted her teeth and avoided the beast.
From her left white hand, an armor made from shattered jade enveloped her soft body. Pieces of jade on the armor sparkled, releasing marvelous aurae of different types of powers. They seemed to have a connection with her Sea of Consciousness.
The power in Ai Ya's body bloomed, rippling without any rule.
All of a sudden, Ai Ya's aura was hidden, leaving no surging fluctuation, as if she had never come here.
The Ghost Hunter was bewildered. It stopped and sensed, while a bizarre light shot out from its pupils. The beast took the Demonic Bell out.
Jingle Jingle!
Strange jingling sounds came from the Demonic Bell as the Ghost Hunter strolled around the tomb to search for its opponent.
At the same time, following the soul fiber, Shi Yan changed his visage, entering a marvelous space.

Buzz Buzz Buzz!
The Demonic Bell continually jingled, as a devilish light like waves rippled in all directions. The scaled face of the Ghost Hunter looked malicious. He was shaking the bell constantly, gathering the evil power in it.
Devil Qi released from the Demonic Bell while demonic scriptures undulated, making a connection with the Ghost Hunter's soul, looking for any soul fluctuations.
Suddenly, the light from the Demonic Bell twisted behind a gravestone.
The Ghost Hunter howled gloomily as the Demonic Bell sent it a strong energy impact. A wave of condensed energy shot towards that distorted area.
Boom!
The gravestone exploded, powdering the area. In the ash-gray dust, a figure ran away in panic.
Thick blood mist exuded, as a bloody scent diffused everywhere.
Light on Ai Ya's precious armor dimmed as she spurted out blood. Exhausted, she was fleeing at the fastest speed.
Her slender legs wore a pair of blue leather boots, which had a delicate formation. When she was running like flying, that formation was fiercely taking in the Essence Qi of her body to accelerate her speed. She was gliding swiftly like an electric current.
The Ghost Hunter's bloodthirsty eyes gazed at her, then it shook the Demonic Bell again.
Devil Qi surged torrentially. When the Demonic Bell shook, the whole area shook together with it. A thick cluster of cloud swiftly drifted towards Ai Ya's general direction.
Ai Ya was distressed. Turning around to peek, she was more frightened, running away at any cost.
She had only the Third Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base. Facing the savage beast like the Ghost Hunter, she had no means to resist with force. If she hadn't had many treasures, she would have perished already.
Ai Ya's heart was filled with resentment, but she wasn't blind. She understood that even if she had the guts to stay here, she would never come back.
She ran away with all of her efforts.
With the secret treasures from her Storage Ring, Ai Ya was as if she had received the support from God. Her figure flashed like a series of shadows that they couldn't see clearly.
Even the Ghost Cloud that the Ghost Hunter released couldn't chase after her. As it couldn't lock her aura, it could only see her disappearing into the horizon.
The Ghost Hunter held the bell, hovering in the air for a while. Then it came back unwillingly, standing next to Shi Yan.
The group of strange creatures including the War Devil, Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm, King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God continued guarding Shi Yan. They were alert, in case something strange happened.
Among them, the War Devil was a dead thing. It didn't move, nor did it have any surging soul fluctuations.
The Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, the and King of Demonic Insects were releasing the thoughts of their souls as if they were having a conversation.
The Holy Spirit God's living form wasn't similar to theirs, so it couldn't participate in their discussion. However, the Holy Spirit God was a peculiar alien in this world. It had watched them for a while, then adjusted its soul frequency to form a connection with the Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and King of Demonic Insects.
The four peculiar living beings gathered. Their eyes had a very humanized emotion as they were discussing something in silence.
…
Shi Yan's soul had been drifting for a while. All of a sudden, he found himself in a marvelous space. Also, he immediately felt the aura of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.
This was an endless space, where a thick, milky white mist was hovering. The mist filled every corner of this place, making it look like a white ocean.
Five-colored beams of light twinkled in this space, each containing some sorts of magical power.
There were some beams with the furious flame inside. When they flashed, the flame burst out with various shapes and then ceased. Some beams appeared with crystal clear streams of water inside. These streams were murmuring where the strange power was overflowing.
Also, there were beams with the Five Element Powers, constantly changing with different shapes inside those beams, releasing their unique aurae.
Countless beams shot, sparkled, then disappeared into thin air. Shi Yan couldn't know their trajectories, which made it hard to observe their shapes and forms from the beginning until the end.
These beams carried with them different powers that existed in heaven and earth. There were Five Elements power, the power of desperation and fear, also the thick brutal power, or the hazy power of the soul.
Each kind of power took turns to sparkle in this strange space. They were flying and shooting like shuttles, as if they were maintaining the existence and order of this space.
Shi Yan's soul became a phantom, gradually appearing in this space. He could vaguely feel other different aurae.
Observing this space for a while, he couldn't see the deep meaning behind those things. He hesitated for a while, then tried to communicate with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame again, wafting towards its general direction.
This strange space didn't have gravity. It was like the scenery in his dream. He thought it would take time to find the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. However, as his thought flickered, he appeared in their battle instantly.
Lightning strikes were flying in the milky mist like giant dragons. They were all furious and hostile.
Thunder and lightning filled the space, with the aura and power that were enough to destroy the whole world.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's soul hid in the core of each giant lightning strike. There were so many lightning strikes gathered at the same time. Vaguely, they were forming the shape of a giant Antiquity God, who was watching every creature disdainfully, as if he could hold every one of them in his hands.
Flows of silver flame condensed a sea of silver fire, surging under those lightning strikes.
Big waves surged from the silver fire sea. Each wave was one fierce silver flame that could burn down all souls.
Silvery flames seethed torrentially. Sometimes, it rose up to the sky, hitting the robust electric dragon created by the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. Dazzling sparks shot out from the impact.
Two rivers meandered around that silver fire sea; one was jade white, and the other was scarlet. The jade white river froze many crystal clear ice cubes, piling up in the middle of the river while releasing an ice cold energy that could chill one to the bone.
It was a turbulent flame inside the scarlet river. Its aura was filled with the heat of lava. Inside the flame, Shi Yan could vaguely see the pure fire of the Sun with its solar divine light.
These two rivers were situated aside the silver fire sea. They were also changing. Sometimes, countless ice dragons, ice snakes, beasts, or giants flew out of the jade white river. Each of them was condensed from snowflakes. All were giant, at least hundreds of zhang, and they carried the freezing power that could freeze everything.
The scarlet river had condensed red fire shower. However, these fire raindrops went against natural orders when it rained from the ground to sky.
Vigorous lightning strikes were slaughtering in the sky, hitting the ice dragons, smashing the ice snakes, and pounding the giants into powder. They also evaporated the fire shower.
Only the soul-destroying willpower in the silver fire sea could resist the lightning. It was using the ancient will and guts to compete with the hateful soul inside the lightning strikes.
Flashes of light, thunder, and lightning strikes interweaved, filling the entire space. Living fluctuations of the silver fire sea and the two rivers were gradually worn out.
Light and energies madly impacted in this space. These lives were using the most primitive means to carry out a brutal soul war.
Swoosh!
A lightning strike precisely struck Shi Yan's phantom, making it crack like bubbles.
His brain went numb, following which Shi Yan woke up abruptly. His eyes shone like two pieces of diamond, but his face was oddly strange. He didn't know where that magical space was. Even the Soul Consciousness aided by space power couldn't detect it. But, he could confirm one thing: the battle of the four heaven flames had come to a critical moment. Who could survive, who could take the final triumph after this strange fight?
If the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame won, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, and the Earth Flame would be fused with him. He would evolve the second time, coming to gain the perfection of his living form, and an unimaginable soul power.
And Shi Yan, with the connection he had with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, his soul would scatter as his existence in this world was erased.
If his life seal didn't exist anymore, even if he had an immortal body, it would mean death to him, which put an end to his revival process, and he would never have a new life again.
The Immortal Rebirth Secret could only revive his body, but not make his soul undying. In this world, when the life seal was erased, there were no means to gather or restore it.
Of course, Shi Yan didn't want to die.
It was just that he didn't know how to help the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame had destroyed his hollow soul when he had just gotten there He couldn't have the exact situation of that battle.
This was definitely not good!
Shi Yan's face was dismal. He paled, as he had never felt so helpless like this. It was too aggrieving to give the control over his life to others. He didn't like this feeling!
'What to do? What to do now?' Thoughts glided in his brain as he was trying to search for a suitable solution. However, soul power in his host soul was drawn away rapidly.
Shi Yan discolored.
The fast consumption of his soul power meant that the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was encountering a hazardous situation. The faster Shi Yan's soul power was sucked away, the worse situation the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was in.
Soul power was the foundation of the host soul, which was condensed using Soul Consciousness. Once soul power was drained, the host soul would perish.
Soul power was the power of life, the original source of strength of a warrior!
At this moment, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was taking his life power to fight against the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
At this speed, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame would drain his life power soon!
No! He couldn't just wait like this!
Shi Yan's complexion was brutal. He clenched his jaws as a devilish light shot out from his eyes. A magical light flashed across his head as his eyes brightened.
The Blood Vein Ring!

Chapter 587: Bitter struggle
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
He got this treasure when he descended to this world. It was unpredictably good, bringing uncountable advantages. At the critical moment, the Blood Vein Ring always surprised him, converting danger to safety.
Today, since his life power was drained rapidly, he was extremely anxious, worrying about the battle of the four heaven flames.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame was too powerful. From what his hollow soul had observed, the union of Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, and the Earth Flame couldn't oppress it. With this trend, not long afterward, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame would empty out his life energy.
This was the first time he had regretted fusing with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. The feeling of having a heaven flame grabbing the neck was really aggrievedly helpless.
He wanted to overturn the bad situation, but he couldn't find a solution. At the critical time, he remembered the Blood Vein Ring.
The divine sword Sky Destroyer taken out of the Chasm Battlefield was a God level treasure, but the Blood Vein Ring could pocket it. As the sword stayed idle inside the Blood Vein Ring, it meant this ring could subdue the God level secret weapon.
It was the same with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame's and the Ice Cold Flame's cases. The Blood Vein Ring's power could oppress and guide them. Eventually, they had to surrender.
From this point, the Blood Vein Ring was much stronger than the Sky Destroyer and the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. Shi Yan was struck.
Pulling himself together, he gathered the energy of his consciousness into a bunch of life then jumped into the Blood Vein Ring.
"I need help!"
The ring on his finger sparkled with blood light. That light was like water murmuring, covering the entire ring. Beams of strange energy overflowed from the exquisite but complex patterns on the ring. Divine aura of the ring gathered and increased fiercely. It became apparent from time to time.
Thump Thump Thump!
Rumbling sounds came from the ring, which sounded like the vigorous heartbeat and the rumbling of a drum.
A vague thought shot out from the ring, entering the deep area of Shi Yan's host soul.
Shi Yan's eyes brightened.
He could feel that the thought from the ring had settled in the center of his host soul. It was like a bunch of light energy searching the memory seal of the host soul as it was receiving what Shi Yan had experienced recently.
Ear-splitting waves of soul resonance reverberated in his host soul.
Shi Yan was trembling hard as the energies in his body were rioting like beasts escaped from their chains, furiously getting out of the cage.
Soul energy of the host soul was vibrating at the same frequency. It seemed to be sublimated!
Flows of soul energies were like they had been gifted a new vitality, surging robustly like boiling water.
In the marvelous space, thunder and lightning were swaggering in the sky. Lightning strikes as big as a rock column were flying everywhere, packing the entire place.
Flames burst from the silver fire sea by the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was struck into ashes. Its power scattered rapidly.
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was putting forth everything to counter. It condensed and shelled flows of soul-destroying will, bravely fighting the lightning.
Although they were all heaven flames, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was ranked lower than the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, and its life was one grade lower than the other. Both of them had consumed much of their energies, but the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame could subdue it easily.
Without the soul power from Shi Yan, it should have been defeated earlier, and it couldn't continue gathering power to fight the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
Although the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth flame were giving it assistance, these two heaven flames weren't strong enough. The union of the three of them couldn't gain the upper hand.
The silver fire sea under the bombarding of waves of lightning strikes was about to drain!
All of a sudden, a sharp soul power appeared from somewhere far away like a spear piercing through space.
The small, handsome face inside the silver fire sea was thrilled.
The sharp soul power tore the sky and descended into the silver fire sea. After a surging wave splashed, Shi Yan's hollow soul appeared in this space once again.
This time the hollow soul was covered in layers of energy. In the silver fire sea, it was intact under the furious lightning strikes.
"How could you get here?" the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent him a happy thought.
Shi Yan's hollow soul cracked a silent smile. "You don't need to care about that. I will unite with you to drain the lightning power!"
From the horizon of the nothingness, countless lightning strikes interweaved, creating a phantom of a giant Ancient God.
He observed things under his feet disdainfully. Thunder and lightning reverberated from that giant God, shooting to the ground.
Shi Yan faced up the sky. His hollow soul was condensing energy, then shooting clusters of gray light from his palms.
Gray light clusters gathered and then condensed into the shapes of the Five Devils in his Sea of Consciousness. They slowly emerged from the silver fire sea.
Desperate, fear, bloodthirsty, greed, and resentment were the five flows of negative emotion exuded from the ferocious appearance of the Five Devils. These five flows surrounded Shi Yan's hollow soul, created a pentagonal seal.
Five flows of negative emotions connected to Shi Yan's hollow soul. At that moment, the hollow soul had an incomparable surging soul fluctuation in this strange space.
Shi Yan's hollow soul strongly drove the silver fire sea to surge furiously. The sea used to be subdued, but now it was turbulent again. Big waves rose to the sky, releasing the immense soul destroying energy.
The god thunder and lightning struck from the horizon of the nothingness had been added with pure will. But when they came near the sea fire, big waves swarmed over, rolling them away and destroying them all. Big waves didn't give the lightning a chance to escape.
In the fire sea, Shi Yan's hollow soul was circled by the pentagonal seal formed by the Five Devils. He lifted his head to look at the giant phantom of the Ancient God in the horizon of the nothingness.
All of a sudden, divine light condensed by the five negative soul wills including desperation, fear, bloodlust, greed, and resentment shot out of the hollow soul's eyes. It then turned into a light shield to receive the big lightning strikes, then directed them backward to the center of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's original will.
It was like the sky was falling. Glorious rays of light bloomed out from the horizon. Fierce energy movements rose the big waves. Sky collapsed, and the nothingness shattered. Countless beams of different kinds of energies had their trajectories changed, fluttering disorderly.
The Giant Ancient God phantom was condensed by the original will of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. It was shattered from the impact with the divine light of the negative will. The phantom was broken like shattered crystal, shooting over the sky like a meteor shower, as beautiful as the most glorious firework performance.
Flows of god thunder and lightning struck from the sky, but the soul will added in it was destroyed, which misdirected the attack. They didn't aim at the three heaven flames.
When the fire sea and the two rivers recognized the dramatic change in the horizon, they seized the opportunity to condense the power and soared up to the sky.
Icicles, ice monsters, the fiery scarlet flame, and the soul-destroying silver light pierced through the massive lightning strikes. They were like three sharp swords thrusting into the original will of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
So many forces were taking care of the Ancient God phantom, pushing it to the corner. It couldn't resist any longer.
The phantom was as though it was torn apart by invisible hands, turning into misshaped figures. The god thunder and lightning in it were all scattered. They couldn't bind to each other like a rope again.
Shi Yan's hollow soul was cold and ruthless. There was no beam of affection in his eyes while he was gazing at the horizon, pushing his force further.
The negative soul will that came from the Five Devil was manipulated by his host soul, guiding the other forces to destroy the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's original will in the sky.
The fire sea and the two rivers were situated in much lower terrain; seizing the chance, they urged all of their powers rocketing to the sky. At the same time, they were gradually floating towards the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's original will.
"Despicable human… You dare break my good business? I'll make you consigned to eternal damnation!"
The brutal and crazy thought of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame expanded in the void. Just like the Ancient God snarling indignantly, it shot directly towards Shi Yan's soul.
This soul will moved swiftly in the sky. It condensed hundreds of lightning strikes, like a lightning dragon that wanted to destroy all creatures, and rumblingly attacked him.
The deep power that could open the sky and slit the earth emerged from the giant light column created by lightning. It was a natural power that only creatures living in the Antiquity Time could understand. It was so powerful that it could take the will of resistance from creatures away, which created a mood of being willing to get burned and destroyed.
The three heaven flames were stopped in that ancient, powerful will; their powers became chaotic.
The Five Devils circling Shi Yan's hollow soul were also affected. They suddenly shrank into five gray light spots, as big as a walnut.
The soul will assistance that came from the Five Devils was cut off. So, Shi Yan couldn't sense furthermore.
That brutal lightning column had crushed all kinds of lights. The fire sea and the ice wall hindering its way were smashed as easy as breaking a dried tree branch. It was powerful like a storm, as it struck out invincibly.
The eyes of Shi Yan's hollow soul were like ice sabers, with a strange red light dot sparkling indefinitely in the pupils.
"With such soul will, you dare to interfere the destined battle of the high grade living beings like us? Your soul will disappear forever in the river of history."
The thought of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame reverberated in the entire space, tearing people's souls and thrusting towards people's hearts.
The three heaven flames seemed to be tied down under this will. They couldn't even muster an attack.
"Master, this is the World Extinguishing Thunder Light of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. It's the overflowing of his original will. In this world, besides some scarce substances, no soul could bear it directly. This war is ours. Your soul shouldn't enter this place!"
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame addressed Shi Yan its 'Master' for the first time. In its eyes, perhaps Shi Yan was about to fall here. There should be no soul of any living beings in this space except for the heaven flames. If he dared to go against the rules of the destined battle, he would be punished.
The Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame sent him their worried thoughts. As they could sense the danger Shi Yan was about to bear, they were all anxious.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Light struck down furiously, covering Shi Yan's hollow soul and burning it.
The three heaven flames were desperate.
However, inside the World Extinguishing Thunder Light, a blood spot was still sparkling, as beautiful as a ruby.

Chapter 588: Cracks in the blue dome of heaven!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Shi Yan's hollow soul perished.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Light could burn all kinds of soul powers. The thunder light even pierced through space to reach his host soul!
Patterned light rippled from the Blood Vein ring like small streams soaking his host soul, covering it in layers. Under such care, his soul was strengthened with so many unbreakable barriers.
The original power of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame was cut off. It couldn't break through more layers of defensive barriers.
In that peculiar space, the World Extinguishing Thunder Light expanded immensely, illuminating the entire fire sea created by the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. Under the thunder light, even the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame's original soul power was running out quickly.
Only a blood-red light dot wasn't affected. It was still sparkling gloriously, as if it were the most shining star in the sky.
Inside the blood-red light dot, a flow of Shi Yan's thought condensed, turning into another hollow soul.
Shi Yan had created the connection with this space once again!
"Impossible!"
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame hissed and snarled in the void. Thunder and lightning were moving crazily, as a massive willpower heavily pressed down rumblingly from the sky.
The blood-red light dot remained. Shi Yan's hollow soul hid inside, facing up the sky. His face was cold like an icicle as he grinned.
This was the power of the Blood Vein Ring!
He didn't know why this power wasn't afraid of the World Extinguishing Flaming Light, but he knew for sure that the Blood Vein ring was a divine tool, and the spirit or the soul inside was mysteriously unpredictable, with an unimaginable divine ability.
With the aid of the Blood Vein Ring, his soul was undying, and he could maintain his sound mind.
The acupuncture points all over his body were swelling as the negative energy rolled like an unceasingly surging river towards his Sea of Consciousness.
When the negative energy was seething, Shi Yan felt so painful he wanted to cut it off. However, he just gritted his teeth and endured.
When the Five Devils received the torrential negative energy as five gray light dots, they materialized once again, appearing around Shi Yan's hollow soul.
The pentagonal seal was formed again, resuming the barrier that locked his hollow soul. Shi Yan's mentality, spirit, and soul fused as one, leading the Five Devils' willpower. A patterned light halo expanded inside the World Extinguishing Thunder Light.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Light shattered like a broken mirror while light sparkled everywhere.
The aura of the ancient power from the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame fractured bit by bit. Its soul power was consumed by a big part. Within a short period, it couldn't gather enough energy for another attack.
"There shouldn't be a situation that I can't control!"
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame thundered crazily. This was the first time it showed its fear. The flame seemed to realize something really terrible. It twisted, struggling in the air in an attempt to take control of the situation again.
The three heaven flames burst out at the same time. Their powers struck straight up to the sky, furiously entangling with the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's original consciousness, and wore out each other.
Shi Yan's hollow soul was as firm as a rock. It continued to absorb the negative soul energy of the Five Devils to push the power further.
After an unknown period, Shi Yan found that this magical space started to collapse little by little, as though this illusion was being cut off. Dazzling rays of light bloomed.
Those rays were like sharp sabers, slashing through the space wall. Space slits appeared as the space power hovered. Havoc spread around.
Suddenly, a divine light spread out from Shi Yan's eyes!
He was scrutinizing the light sword wrecking the space. His bright eyes reflected the space light sabers' trajectory.
Suddenly a light saber slashed down directly on his hollow soul.
Shi Yan's hollow soul trembled then absorbed the light sword like a sponge sucking water. The wonderful feeling of being able to control space swelled in his heart. This miraculous but chaotic space suddenly became familiar and lovely to him.
All light sabers in the space seemed to turn into his soul's tentacles, creating a magical connection. His thought flickered, and his soul focused on locking a space light saber.
A marvelous thing happened…
A space light saber, which was cutting the space around it, suddenly stopped. Gradually, it changed and transformed into an extension of Shi Yan's hollow soul.
Shi Yan felt touched. A foreign soul fluctuation was created between him and that light saber.
The phantom created by space power had become a clone of his soul, which he could control easily!
Shi Yan was thrilled. He started to gather his mental power to supplement each space light saber.
Shortly, ten clones made of space power stood next to him. They carried the extremely sharp space power, striking towards the original soul of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame in the dome of the sky.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's Ancient God phantom was cut off. Each part was sent to a different space, which didn't leave it a chance to gather again.
The three heaven flames shot out at the same time towards the original seal of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
Light interweaved in the sky as the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's original seal was crushed. It then surged like a tsunami before it was separated.
Shi Yan continued to create more space sabers, using his soul to manipulate them to destroy the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's original seal.
Crack Crack Crack!
Space collapsed completely, becoming a space of nothingness and chaos. The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's original seal was cut into pieces, sending to different spaces, which cut off their connection.
Over the Shady Firmament Old Mound above Shi Yan's head was a light performance. Such a marvel couldn't be described enough with words.
The War Devil, Ghost Hunter, Devouring Gold Silkworm, King of Demonic Insect, and the Holy Spirit God lifted their heads to watch the wonderful fireworks above their heads. They seemed to forget everything else.
Several thousand li away from Shi Yan, Ai Ya paled on a broken gravestone. Blood trickled from her mouth. Her bright eyes suddenly sparkled as she looked at the strange phenomenon above her head. She didn't know what was going on over there.
In the old tomb, the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were fighting with Lei Mo and Ai Po. They suddenly felt the tremendous change of heaven and earth. They all felt terrified, looking at the dim void above their heads. Their eyes showed their extreme fear.
Lei Mo's team of the Spirit Realm warriors was bewildered. They stopped fighting, looking at the sky.
Not only underground, but the situation on the surface of the Shady Firmament Old Mound was also the same.
The sun, the moon, and the stars all appeared at the same time in the sky. Countless dazzling light dots exploded. Space was torn open, revealing many cracks. From those cracks, aurae of powers that didn't belong to the Grace Mainland were diffusing.
Under such phenomenon, many peak experts of the Grace Mainland felt scared, as they could sense the strange anomaly of the power in their bodies.
"This…This is…"
The sage who used to strike a fatal attack on Shi Yan shouted. But he was terrified, not knowing what to say.
"Cracks of the blue dome of heaven!"
"The Void Lock was crushed!"
"Ha ha ha!"
"God help us!"
"Ten Ancient Clans can finally see the sun again! Clansmen sealed in different spaces can go home now!"
Tears lingered in the two sages' eyes as they were watching the phenomenon in the sky. After a while, they laughed cheerily.
…
Dead Soul Mountain Range.
A green light dot appeared above the ruin of the Spirit Potion Valley. It then slowly enlarged, creating the dead souls' evil lair. Dark Spirit Clan's members emerged from the evil lair, appearing above the Spirit Potion Valley. They were sensing the change of the world in silence.
"Cracks of the blue dome of heaven! The barriers are broken! Our refugees will know the way home soon!"
A strong clansman of the Dark Spirit Clan had tears all over his face as he was sinking into his thought.
…
Endless Sea.
The heaven gate that led to Seven-layered Underworld and the Fourth Demon Area shattered in just a blink of an eye. Human warriors guarding at the gate of the Seven-layered Underworld and the Fourth Demon Area perished.
Skies above Seven-layered Underworld and the Four Demon Area appeared with many cracks, and they were expanding.
The sky cracked open. The Sun, Moon, and Stars appeared at the same time in the sky, illuminating the Seven-layered and the Fourth Demon Area.
Experts of the Dark Clans and Demon Clans were watching the change in the sky above their heads, all cheerful and excited.
In the North of the Fourth Demon Area was a boundless dark green area, where the sky was high and green. The forest there was cold year around. When the Demon Clan's warriors came there, they would feel the barrier barricading the North that they couldn't go through.
Today, an area was torn apart. The green sky was ripped open by invisible hands.
A hotshot of the Demon Clan staying near there saw a thick devil aura diffusing torrentially. When the dark green barrier disappeared completely, he saw many demonic beasts that could only be seen in old scriptures. Each of them was as big as a mountain, and they all had intimidating auras.
Some people were riding the beasts. All of them had the aura of things from the Ancient Times.
Deep under the dark sea in the Seven-layered Underworld…
In an area, which was one hundred thousand li undersea, there was a barrier made of an unknown material. It was melting slowly…
Dark Qi rose turbulently from the Dark Sea. Bubbles broke, releasing thick Dark Qi.
The Three Yama Kings of the Underworld headed toward the Dark Sea from other places. They were shivering in thrill.
"Seals of the bottom three layers of the Seven-layered Underworld are broken!" Yama King Abi faced the sky and thundered, as his aura shot up to the sky like a furious rainbow.
"I wonder whether any of our Great Seniors survive in the three bottom layers of Underworld. It's been so many years…" Yama King Hei Tian sank into his thoughts. He muttered while whining…
"The strenuous life of our tribe has come to an end, finally." Yama King Hades laughed with the clansmen behind him. "The three layers of Underworld that were concealed are the root of our Dark Clan. If our seniors there are still alive, our Dark Clan will control this world once again. Most importantly, we will have the chance to learn the lost Dark secret techniques of our tribe. We will have the power of the Dark God!"
…
Strange phenomena also happened in the other heaven gates that led to foreign lands. The heaven gates connected the Grace Mainland and many other regions were shattered too.
From outside the Grace Mainland, the barriers between the mainland and the other strange spaces were all broken shortly.
Experts of the Divine Great Land, who knew the secrets of the Antiquity Time, paled when they watched the change of the sky. Their faces turned ash-gray.

Chapter 589: Burn the soul!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
Shi Yan didn't know that the world out there had an earth-shaking change because of him.
His soul got back to his body. He lifted his head to look at the beautiful light like rainbows above him. He felt the strange movement of earth and heaven aura around him. His Sea of Consciousness was spaciously extended.
Flows [G1] of space power poured into his Sea of Consciousness from that magical space. They rooted in his Sea of Consciousness, entangled and grew together with each flow of his Soul Consciousness.
It was a misty area in his pupils. He was still sinking in that wonderful scene created by that space change. He wanted to hold on to that space from the time it started to collapse until it detached completely. He was looking for some meanings of space power.
This was the experience he could meet by chance but could never wish for. To warriors cultivating space power, experience the great change of space was like reading a precious scripture, which lectured the nature of space. This is extremely precious to him.
He sank into that area…
Gradually, the earth-shaking change of the void above his head disappeared. Everything restored as usual.
However, earth and heaven energy in the underground of the Shady Firmament Old Mound had an inexplicably miraculous change due to the current occurrence.
Spiritual Qi here became thicker, and the way they were circling also changed. Currently, earth and heaven spiritual Qi here with different forms of energy blended altogether that warriors could sense but couldn't use them.[G2] [G3] [G4] [G5] [G6] [G7] [G8] [G9]
It was strange that those energy forms and the beams of light with different kinds of powers Shi Yan saw in the wonderful space were similar.
It was like the energies of that space suddenly flooded the Grace Mainland.
The great change of the void above his head disappeared completely. Three glorious flames cut the space and appeared in front of him.
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame flashed then sank into Shi Yan's host soul, where it would use his soul power to restore its vitality.
The Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame turned into two small flames, releasing the distinctive energy fluctuations of the heaven flames. War Devil and Ghost Hunter scattered to guard him in case anything would happen all of a sudden.
Deep in Shi Yan's pupils were sharp space blades. From his spot, he seemed to have connections with many other fine spaces. He gave people a vague feeling, which was hard to capture with their eyes or Soul Consciousness.
The wounds on his body were all healed. There was no open cut on his body now. He was vigorously healthy.
Dense earth and heaven spiritual Qi floated near him like the thick mist. It slowly moved toward him.
Energy light dots flew around like lighting bugs, proactively getting into his body, absorbing into his internal organs and limbs. They gradually refined in his body, becoming part of his blood and flesh.
Long afterward, his eyes shone like precious gems. His aura rocketed.
Space cracks like willow branches opened around him. Space power that looked like gossamer strongly overflowed into his body.
He was still sinking in his magical status of comprehending. He didn't notice the changes of the world out there.
--
The gathering point of the Ghost Mark Clan in the Shady Firmament Old Mound.
Two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan were laughing crazily. Their draught power was being restored more quickly under the new torrential heaven and earth aura.
"God favors us!"[G10]
Clear tears lingered in his eyes. The complex tattoos on his body like the vessel system started to move.
His aura changed shortly. Now it was like the immeasurable ocean.
A wave of fierce soul fluctuations twirled and expanded from him as the core.
Ai Po and Lei Mo were standing in the front. They felt their Sea of Consciousness was torn apart by a tornado. At the same time, their flows of Soul Consciousness were so heavy they couldn't move them smoothly.
"Soul Dark Exterminating Spell!"
A sage spat out four words of the Ghost Line Written Charm with a strange melody. The four written charms sparkled like precious gems. Glorious light shot out grumblingly.
Hundreds of light beams entangled like gossamer in the crystal clear written charms. They were forming a vague but mysterious and complicated.
The written charms stormed forward. Four tremendous soul fluctuations surged, darting toward Ai Po and Lei Mo's team.
Ai Po, Lei Mo, and the others were petrified under the intimidating energy of the four written charms. They stood blankly with dull expressions on their faces.[G11]
Four written charm detached then drilled toward Ai Po, Lei Mo, Gongsun Tao and Zhuo Hui, hitting their chest.
These four were like they got the Body Fixing technique; they didn't inch as all powers in their bodies were sealed. Even their souls were confined, and they couldn't urge their thought, either.[G12]
At this moment, the other sage started to perform his deadly attack.
Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi, and Yue Ying paled. They felt distressed, but they didn't dare to linger, immediately retreated.
The Storage Rings on Ye Xiong's fingers opened at once. More than ten secret treasures flew out. All carried massive energy with magical effects. They burst off instantly in front of Ye Xiong, created unbreakable attacking stream energy.
"Firefly insects dare vie with the bright moon!"
In the void, a fabric sheet full of green ghost scripture unfolded, covering all the energy Ye Xiong had released.
The sheet then twisted and squeezed. Many mysterious and complicated ghost scriptures moved like an angry river, releasing crazy and brutal energy fluctuations.
Rumble Rumble Rumble!
Attacks by numerous secret treasures were crushed inside the sheet.
Ye Xiong's bones shook. Blood dripped from his face, his hair disheveled. He looked like a demon with such appearance. He got hurt badly.
"Go! I got your back!" Ye Xiong gritted his teeth as though he was a wild beast backed in the corner. He wanted to risk his life![G13]
In his eyes was a place of white snow. Ye Xiong's glabella cracked. Drops of dark blood were squeezed out, rolling down his nose to his mouth.[G14] [G15] [G16] [G17]
"Haaaa!"
He screamed wildly. Ye Xiong spurt out a dark purple bead. The bead then took in the drop of blood from his glabella, sparkling with formidable soul fluctuation.
There was a tiny man inside the bead. He was swinging his arms busily as if he was controlling something.
That little man was Ye Xiong's soul seal!
When the precious bead appeared, waves of soul energy rippled upward, covering the space in front of Ye Xiong.
"Old Ye!"
Zhu Yi's eyes almost cracked. Tears lingered in his sockets, his face painful and sorrowful.
He knew that precious bead was a Level 7 Sacred Treasure with Ye Xiong's soul seal, which could create an extremely firm soul fortress.
At this moment, Ye Xiong took this bead out and poured his soul seal into it as he knew he couldn't escape death this time. He could only use his soul to urge the bead and have the last battle of his life.
"Move! Go!"
Ye Xiong's voice came from the little man inside the bead. He was scared and anxious.
Yue Ying's eyes reddened. She clenched her jaw, attempting to risk her life, too.
"GO! You must tell the sect what happened here!" Ye Xiong screamed crazily. "It's happened in the Spirit Treasure Clan. As an Elder, you don't want to see our clan destroy, right?"[G18]
While screaming, the tiny human in that bead was crying as if he was burning. His soul power ceased quickly.[G19] [G20]
Layers or energy barriers expanded from the bead, creating an unyielding soul wall, blocking that sage and his dangerous attacks.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
At the place where soul attacks impact, smoke evaporated. After each flow of smoke exuded, YX's soul seal would get one grade smaller.
Soon, Ye Xiong's soul seal had reduced half.
"If you won't go, you will fall here with me! This is a long-term calamity! You must come back alive! You must keep the inheritance of our sect!" Ye Xiong roared like a beast.
Zhu Yi shook as if there was a bucket of water pouring on him. He woke up.
"Go! We're going now!" Zhu Yi cried. Tears rolled on his face, but he forced himself to turn away. He urged the secret treasure in his body and escaped.[G21]
YY hesitated. Her eyes reddened as she said firmly, "Ye-ge, we will take revenge for you!"
Then, moonlight bloomed from her body; she flew away as fast as light.
Ai Po, Lei Mo, and the others were fixed by the Soul Dark Exterminating Spell[G22] ; they couldn't move an inch. Vitality in their bodies ceased like a sapling was uprooted. Gradually, they didn't breathe anymore.
"It's time to erase Human Race."
The Ghost Mark Clan's sage muttered to himself. He swung his hand, and the Yin Written Charm Scripture flew out, covering the Spirit Realm experts Ai Po, Lei Mo, and the others.[G23]
Under the invincible power of the Yin Written Charm Scripture, Ai Po, Lei Mo, and their teams were like dust scattering with the wind.
The Yin Written Charm Scripture glowed. The Mysterious Yin Qi seemed to be recovered a lot. It was floating above the group of the Ghost Mark Clan, scattering some drops.
The clansmen were crazily happy. They opened their mouths greedily to receive those drops. Their auras had gradually been restored.
"Those two…"
A sage frowned. He then released his Soul Consciousness to sense for a while then shook his head begrudgingly. "He used the Escape Technique. He paid the big price of hurting himself to get away. He's tens of thousands of li away. With this far distance, it's hard to kill them. Too bad, the human force can be strengthened a little bit."
"It's alright," said the sage who was holding the Yin Written Charm Scripture. "When the space cracks appear, Yin Qi will flood in gradually. Our clan will recover shortly. What we should do now is not to chase after them. We should try to connect with the expelled clans to conspire our big undertaking."
"Yeah, it's true."
"Besides the Ghost Mark Clan, the Demon Clan, the Monster Clan, the Giant Clan, the Dark Spirit clan, the Corpse Clan, and the Sea Clan will appear here. We should get there earlier so as our benefits will be greater later. It's been so many years. I thought that we would have died because of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. Now we can see the sun again. God still favor us."
"Hey, where's the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame? I don't see it here."
"I almost forget it! Let me try to search for it!"

Chapter 590: Aftermath
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Zhu Yi and Yue Ying had run away for over ten thousand li. However, they were still in the underground. They hadn't reached the surface yet.
Hiding in the area of Phosphorus Ghost Mushrooms, Zhu Yi was as pale as white paper. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and he was taking in pellets to recover. He tried to adjust his breathing, then took out the Sound Stone, trying to contact the others.
Zhu Yi was using secret treasures to flee away underground instantly. To activate these treasures, he had to squeeze all of his Essence Qi. When he had no beam of energy in his body, the treasures would take him away.
At this moment, Zhu Yi had drained his power. He was in a perilous situation, and had to use more secret treasures to defend himself while using the pellets to restore his power and search for help.
He didn't know that the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan didn't pursue him, so he was trying his best to recover fast.
The Sound Stone in his hand sparkled with strange light. Zhu Yi poured a thought into it, screaming using his Soul Consciousness. "Where are you, guys?"
"I'm not far from you? How are you?" Yue Ying answered immediately. Her voice was feeble, which indicated that she was exhausted. Certainly, she had been hurt too.
Usually, the Escape Technique that could jump more than ten thousand li in just a blink would cause damage to the users. Zhu Yi's case and Yue Ying's case were the same.
"Don't rush. Contact Yun Xiu and tell her not to get back here," Zhu Yi's eyes reddened. He hurried to advise the other.
"I can't find her now. I don't know where she's gone. Perhaps she's too far from us, so she couldn't receive the thought from the Sound Stone."
"Do you have any news of Shi Yan?"
"No…"
Zhu Yi's face darkened. He felt regret, while sorrow filled his heart. He kept silent for a long time.
Before Shi Yan had left, he had triggered Ai Po, Lei Mo, and their teams to make them risk their lives against the Ghost Mark Clan. At the same time, he had cared about them, asking them to leave that place.
However, Zhu Yi and Ye Xiong didn't value his words. They had hesitated, and then decided to stay and fight.
And they had to bear a painful aftermath.
Lei Mo and Ai Po died. Ye Xiong had burnt his soul, which wasn't different from getting both his soul and body destroyed. Under the imposing soul power of the two sages, they had only one choice, which was to hurt themselves to flee away.
Now, Zhu Yi and Yue Ying were feeling a deep regret. They regretted that they didn't listen to Shi Yan's advice, that they shouldn't have been greedy for the magical Yin Written Charm Scripture and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. And now, they had fallen into such an aftermath.
After they had their failure, they recalled Shi Yan's broad vision. They couldn't help but want to contact him. Unfortunately, Shi Yan's Sound Stone seemed to be broken. They couldn't track down his signal. This gave them another worry.
"Hey!"
As Zhu Yi was sinking in his regret, he heard Yue Ying's surprised scream.
Zhu Yi was shaken, asking immediately. "What problem? Did you find something?"
"The Soul Sensing Stone you gave me suddenly glowed…" Yue Ying wasn't so sure. "I'll check to see who is that. Hold on."
"Okay."
"Shi Yan! He's near me!"
Zhu Yi's eyes brightened. Thoughts crossed his head as he said abruptly, "You go get him. After I've recovered, I'll get there."
"Okay!"
…
There were many Yin cold plants growing inside the gray mist, together with ruined gravestones and ancient corpses.
Yue Ying took a deep breath, then urged the moonlight power she had accumulated for so many years. She was holding a ring that looked like a silver moon, walking towards a specific direction.
At this moment, Yue Ying didn't have any disdainful thoughts towards Shi Yan. Quite the contrary, she suddenly respected him.
At the critical moment, he was determined enough to retreat. He wasn't greedy for treasures. Such wise moves coming from a junior made Yue Ying feel shame.
She didn't know it was due to the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame that Shi Yan had such precise vision of the whole picture. She assumed that Shi Yan was wise and could forsee the future events from the current details. She started to respect him.
When she sauntered towards Shi Yan's general direction, Yue Ying's face became more respectful as she thought what to say when she met him.
She was shy and worried if Shi Yan would mock them for what they'd done.
Young talented men like Shi Yan were all arrogant, and they didn't want to obey the elders. When they talked, they often didn't leave the way out. The terrible failure this time was because they didn't listen to his advice. As she thought about the mockery manners Shi Yan would show her, her steps became heavier.
However, she had to go there.
Her condition was bad. Since she had taken risks and used the Escape Technique, she had to consume a big part of her energy. Her Soul Consciousness was damaged too.
If she met a stranger with a profound realm, or the Ghost Mark Clan's clansmen chasing after her, she couldn't use the Escape Technique one more time. Only death would welcome her then.
Yue Ying didn't have a good impression of Shi Yan. However, in the current circumstances, she had no other choice around.
After Yue Ying had crossed through a transition of Yin cold floras while wearing a complicated complexion, she found Shi Yan.
War Devil, King of Demonic Insects, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, the Holy Spirit God, the Ghost Hunter, and the two heaven flames were the most loyal guards, securing Shi Yan in the center or their barricade.
Yue Ying peeked at him and shivered instantly. Her eyes showed that she was disbelieving.
Her bright eyes gazed at Shi Yan, who was panting heavily with his open mouth.
This was scary!
At this moment, the force Shi Yan had could kill any Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior!
She knew that Shi Yan had the War Devil. Yue Ying sensed for a while and found that the auras from the Ghost Hunter and the King of Demonic Insects weren't weaker than her, a Third Sky of Spirit Realm expert. And, she didn't dare to sense the Holy Spirit God and the two heaven flames, so she didn't know how strange they were.
But, she could confirm that since these three aliens could stay at the same spot with the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the War Devil, they should be absolutely formidable.
Especially the Ice Cold Flame, this cold flame had a freezing aura, which told her that it was ranked number eight among the nine heaven flames, the Ice Cold Flame, the mysterious heaven flame!
Yue Ying was scared. She smacked her tongue discreetly, her eyes bright.
Finally, she understood why Yun Hao, the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult, had valued this young man that much. For his initiation, he had summoned all the Elders.
At that time, she had looked down on him. Just like the other Elders, she thought that Yun Hao just wanted to make a small thing big, and they assumed that Yun Hao had favored this young man too much.
But now, she didn't think like that anymore. She admired Yun Hao, and she didn't have any doubt or objection.
The force Shi Yan revealed here was enough to fight the seven Elders together!
What was this concept?
As Yue Ying got it clear, she was totally convinced.
A pair of brutal monster eyes gazed at her, while a flow of murderous aura slapped her face.
Yue Ying was scared, and her face changed dramatically. She stood still, not daring to move.
Ghost Hunter strolled towards her alone. It had tiptoed a little bit, as if it was afraid that it would bother Shi Yan. After it walked more than one hundred meters away from Shi Yan, the monster accelerated, dashing towards Yue Ying.
Yue Ying's face was bitter, but she couldn't cry.
She didn't have any power left, so she had to come here to find Shi Yan for help. However, right when she saw her, a humanoid beast had placed its eyes on her. This was an intimidating beast, and with her current condition, she couldn't do anything to counter.
Of course, Ghost Hunter wouldn't care about her. Letting Ai Ya run away had irritated the Ghost Hunter. Seeing another woman sneak into the area, the monster wanted to use Yue Ying to vent out its anger.
"Shi Yan!"
As Yue Ying saw the oncoming danger, she couldn't help but pitch her voice.
Shi Yan was sinking in his strange status. Hearing that pitiful call, his brows convulsed as he sent a thought away.
The Ghost Hunter savagely stormed towards Yue Ying to attack her. Dark Qi and Devil Qi twirled around it, as the beast shook the bell to kill her.
That great change of heaven and earth wasn't a good thing to mankind, but the Ghost Hunter could earn some benefits from it. It could feel the power in its body increasing little by little, while its speed of accumulating Dark Qi and Devil Qi was accelerating. Also, its soul fluctuation became more fluent and flexible.
Yue Ying's face was sorrowful. Seeing the Ghost Hunter coming, she tried to urge the scarce remaining energy to counter the beast for a while.
Right at this moment, the Ghost Hunter halted in the air as if it were frozen, not moving an inch.
The humanized pupils of the Ghost Hunter showed its suspicions. It secretly sent its soul thought to Shi Yan. After it received the confirmation, the beast begrudgingly returned and stood next to the War Devil again.
"You should wait. He needs more time."
The Ice Cold Flame had bounced for a while, then shot a soul fluctuation towards Yue Ying to send her a clear thought.
Yue Ying was astounded. She looked at the Ice Cold Flame.
"You, are you explaining to me?"
"Yeah, he's comprehending the power Upanishad. Currently, he can't talk with you," the Ice Cold Flame continued. "You can wait here, or if you don't have time, you can leave."
The Ice Cold Flame and Shi Yan had a deep soul connection, so it knew the relation between Shi Yan and Yue Ying. If Shi Yan didn't ask the Ghost Hunter to kill her, it would explain the situation to her.
Yue Ying received the thought from the Ice Cold Flame the second time. Now, she could confirm that the spirit that had sent her message was the heaven flame.
She was filled with surprise, and wanted to inquire further. However, seeing the Ice Cold Flame didn't want to react to her, she could only be wise and keep her mouth shut. She waited in silence, with the hope that Shi Yan would wake up soon.
She had many suspicions in her heart.
"Elder Yue, how are you? I'm coming right away!"
Suddenly, the Sound Stone in her hand transmitted Zhu Yi's thought. He seemed to be cheered up.
"Hmm. You should wait for a while to avoid unnecessary troubles." Yue Ying was surprised for a while and then sent him thought. "It's a little bit strange here. When you arrive, don't hurry. Better to tiptoe…"
"What happened? Shi Yan wanted to attack you?"
"No. Wait until you get here. You will know," Yue Ying forced a smile.

Chapter 591: Mediocre!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
Yue Ying still looked at Shi Yan. She didn't dare to act rashly as she was afraid of the Ghost Hunter's attack. She was waiting for Zhu Yi in silence.
Shi Yan currently had nothing abnormal. He looked like he was sleeping while standing quietly.
However, energy fluctuating waves were rippling from him unceasingly, and it seemed to get stronger from time to time.
Yue Ying didn't know what was happening in his body. However, the only thing she could confirm was that Shi Yan was having some positive changes.
From the Ghost Hunter's and the War Devil's reactions, she understood that Shi Yan was learning the meanings of some power. With this point of view, Yue Ying started to study him.
After a while, she recognized that Shi Yan was having a deep sleep. However, the space next to him was distorted chaotically as though a pair of invisible hands pulling and tearing space. From the beginning until now, these invisible hands were affecting the space surrounding him.
Yue Ying was astounded.
Of course, she didn't know that Shi Yan had used space power to enter the Spirit Realm. This kind of power was really rare and mysterious that not many people paid attention to it in the whole Grace Mainland.
It wasn't that the Upanishads of this kind of power wasn't strong enough; quite the contrary. From the ancient time up to now, as long as there was martial technique or secret treasure in space category, they were all terrifically intimidating.
It was because the Upanishads of space power was really difficult to comprehend, no one had considered it the main power to learn and improve their strength. Also, there was no book or precursors to guide them. Warriors who studied this kind of power had to do it alone.
If one had to search and study one kind of power Upanishad alone, it was like when a blind man is groping on an elephant. It would be tough to get the whole picture. Usually, they could only know the surface, and they could never understand the true meanings of the power thoroughly.
Without someone having a complete understanding of the power of the Upanishads, it meant the warrior couldn't get a strong competence. When he used it to level up in Spirit Realm, it would be a strenuous challenge.
Many people could never find an opportunity using space power to level up again, even if they had to spend their whole life.
When Yue Ying recognized that Shi Yan was comprehending space Upanishads, she was so astounded that she almost screamed.
She understood that Shi Yan had encountered some change; that he had a new perception of space power.
It was really rare that the warrior who practiced in this area perhaps would never have such a chance for the rest of his life, which kept him from leveling up or having a new breakthrough.
Space power…
Yue Ying felt bitter. She shook her head, her eyes complicated.
This man is imposingly exaggerating enough. According to his realm and his age at this moment, in the future, he will achieve a profound realm. If his main power is space power, he can gradually improve it. One day, when he's able to use space power to break through the realm, his potential at that time would be immeasurable.
The more Yue Ying got to know Shi Yan, the more regret she had. She regretted that she shouldn't treat him that way.
A boundless potential warrior like him had joined the Radiant God Cult. Someday in the future, no one could say what he could contribute to the cult.
. . . Perhaps, he could surpass Yun Hao and take the Radiant God Cult to the peak!
As soon as this thought arose in her heart, Yue Ying was struck. She took a deep breath. Another thought filled her head that she couldn't erase it.
She must establish a good relationship with this kid!
Yue Ying made up her mind.
At the same time, Yue Ying received Zhu Yi's message from the Sound Stone. Her lips moved, sending her message. Then, she continued waiting in silence.
Indeed, Zhu Yi quietly arrived five minutes later.
The Ghost Hunter immediately recognized the change. Its brutal eyes shot over to a shady area. Murderous aura condensed on its body.
Around one hundred meters away from Yue Ying's left, a miraculous explosion resounded from the ground.
A cone-shaped silver secret treasure emerged from the ground. Zhu Yi appeared from the treasure.
He instantly hid the treasure away, covered his aura then looked at Shi Yan.
At first glance, Zhu Yi discolored in fright, his eyes bright as the torch. He was amazed.
"This. . ."
Zhu Yi gawked. His face showed that he was disbelieving what he was looking at. Just like Yue Ying, the strange creatures next to Shi Yan had scared him.
It's so dangerous…
At this moment, Zhu Yi knew why Yue Ying didn't state things clearly.
The force Shi Yan displayed here was exaggerating! Such force was even stronger than the big families from the seven ancient factions.
And he's just a young man!
Zhu Yi had a wider knowledge than Yue Ying. With just a glare, he knew the value of the Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the King of Demonic Insects. He also knew that the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame were the heaven flames with life and consciousness.
The only thing he couldn't get was the Holy Spirit God.
Basically, creatures like the Holy Spirit God shouldn't exist in this world. He had never known this kind of marvelous soul before.
He was frightened.
--
In the gathering area of the Ghost Mark Clan in the Shady Firmament Old Mound.
The Ghost Mark Clan's sages were using their soul to sense this continent. After a long while, the two sages almost opened their eyes at the same time.
"I can sense the feeble aura of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame near that kid. But it's too weak; I can't see clearly. It disappeared into spaces, I suppose…"
"Perhaps, it clutches on that kid and hides again?"
"Possible."
"Then, it's simple. We also want to kill that kid. When we destroy him, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame will be exposed."
"It's true. Without the host, it has nowhere to hide."
"And, the energies in earth and heaven have changed. Otherwise, in such a far distance like this, we can't attack him even once."
"Get him."
After the two sages had a conversation using their souls, they decided what to do. They didn't hesitate, taking action all of a sudden.
--
Shi Yan closed his eyes as if he was sleeping, sinking into some wonderful realm. He gradually restored his consciousness, awakening from the changes of space power.
Right when he had just opened his eyes, he immediately recognized the change of energy above his head.
He felt shivers sending down his spine. Shi Yan beamed a faint smile from the corner of his mouth. He opened his eyes, faced up to look at the void above his head then snorted. "Damn it. Those two old monsters only know how to disturb me."
Whirling wind!
Thick Mysterious Yin was gathering above his head, creating long chains that naked eyes could see.
Those chains then moved into a magical formation that looked like a bird catching net with dense mesh. It seemed to be able to crush any creatures inside the net with the smallest energy fluctuation.
The intimidating energy fluctuation in that formation could move the mountain and level the sea. Such aura pressing down gave Zhu Yi and Yue Ying a feeling of a small loser that didn't have a way to counter.
"Shi Yan, be careful!" Yue Ying couldn't help but shout.
Yue Ying knew the ones who attacked them were the two True God Realm sages of the Ghost Mark Clan. Their strength was beyond her upper endurance limit.
"We're over!"
Zhu Yi whined in pain. His face was grim. He felt no strength left in him as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss where he couldn't see a beam of light.
The formation above their heads was pressing down. Its coverage was wide, which included him and Yue Ying.
Under the attack of such powerful and evil force, these two had nothing to encounter. Since they had spent too much energy for the Escape Technique, they couldn't use that trick one more time.
They could only look at the formation snatching them. Zhu Yi felt a big regret that he shouldn't find and gather with Shi Yan.
If he hadn't got here, he wouldn't be involved. He could see that the two True God Realm sages of the Ghost Mark Clan had aimed for Shi Yan.
He and Yue Ying were just two innocent passengers that got involved.
The formation in the void was changing constantly and magically. The long chains made of Mysterious Yin Qi were like they could take the souls away. They were releasing the vehement soul waves while pressing down furiously.
Zhu Yi closed his eyes in misery. He didn't struggle to resist since he knew that he had no other ways around to counter with force under this circumstance.
Yue Ying gazed at Shi Yan. She didn't shift her line of sight as if she was waiting for a miracle.
She didn't know why she had a feeling that even the True God Realm experts couldn't eradicate Shi Yan.
Such feeling had no actual pieces of evidence. Perhaps it was because Shi Yan was too calm. He didn't reveal his panic as he should. This strange nonchalance gave her a beam of hope.
In her eyes, Shi Yan's image became unreal.
Shi Yan was still standing at his spot, but he seemed to stay in another space dimension. He was so vague, which gave people a feeling that his image was reflected in so many broken mirrors as if his body was split apart, and his arms and legs were kept in different space cracks respectively.
However, she knew that Shi Yan had never moved. Thus, she didn't know whether this marvelous hallucination in her eyes was real or false.
Abruptly, Shi Yan diffused an aura that could distort space.
They then saw Shi Yan's arms, which were detached, appeared from another space crack, trying to rip off the space above his head.
It was like there was an invisible silky cloth in front of Shi Yan, which he had torn open forcefully.
As his hands were tearing, a space slit appeared in front of him.
Beams of light shot out from that crack gloriously. Meteors sparkled then disappeared into the galaxy. It was a marvel.
The terrifying attack from the formation above their head was created by the two True God Realm sages of the Ghost Mark Clan could strangle the experts of the Divine Great Land like Yun Hao.
However, after the space crack had appeared in front of Shi Yan, that thick attack became disordered.
When the power of that formation finally slashed down, the space slit in front of Shi Yan was as big as an open mouth of a ferocious beast.
Numerous chains made of Mysterious Yin Qi fell like a shower. But all of them were pouring into the space crack, being swallowed and leaving nothing.
Shi Yan was calm. Strange light sparkled in his palms. The wonderful space change shot out from his body.
That space crack was like a monster swallowing everything as it dissolved all the attacks of the two True God Realm experts.
A bunch of light flashed. The space that was torn apart was closed. The void above him was restored.
Shi Yan stood steadfastly as if nothing had happened. However, his face was pale. He looked at the sky, snorted then said indifferently, "Well, mediocre."

Chapter 592: Apprehending
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
At the gathering spot of the Ghost Mark Clan, the two sages had their face as yellow as earth. The brilliance in their eyes faded.
One of them was astounded. His body suddenly trembled hard as if he just got hit mercilessly.
"It…It…"
He swung his arms. His eyes were panic-stricken as though he was drunk and lost his cognition.
"Does that kid really have the Spirit Realm cultivation base?" The sage holding the Yin Written Charm Scripture was relatively calm. He clenched his jaw, drawing the power of the Yin Written Charm Scripture. He inquired indignantly. "How could he solve our attack? Although we haven't recovered fully, that First Sky of Spirit Realm brat could survive?!?"
"Is it the time changing that creates such strange things?"
"This man's strange. He seems to know the supernatural Upanishads of our Ghost Mark Clan. I wonder what his relationship with our clan is."
"We must find him to make it clear!"
"You stay here. I'm going there to see if I can catch him."
"Be careful. You haven't restored your strength fully. That kid is strange and evil. Don't fall into his trap."
"Yeah."
. . .
Yue Ying's eyes were as bright as diamonds. She looked at the man ahead of her. He slim fingers balled into fists, her soft body shivering.
Unbelievable!
Shi Yan had only the power of the Spirit Realm, but he could solve the attack of two True God Realm experts! She could see clearly that Shi Yan had used space power.
This man, does he really have a deep understanding of space power's true meanings?
Yue Ying was frightened.
Zhu Yi waited for a long while, and he found that the intimidating power above their heads had disappeared all of a sudden.
He hesitated; he couldn't press his doubt looking at the sky. He then saw a drifting cloud area on the horizon of the void. But there was no intimidating rippling energy wave anymore.
"What happened?" Zhu Yi's voice was a bit hoarse as he was uncertain. "It… Did Shi Yan solve that strike?"
Yue Ying forced a smile then nodded.
Zhu Yi was struck. Light shot out from his eyes. "How could he do that?"
"Space power…"
"Space power?" Zhu Yi was dazed. Suddenly, he shouted. "He understands space power! You mean, he knows how to use space power?" Yue Ying nodded the second time.
Zhu Yi shivered, but he hadn't said anything for quite a long time, his face admiring.
As his knowledge of space power was more profound than Yue Ying, he understood how formidable it could be once Shi Yan could control space power.
An expert who knew how to use space power smoothly would be the nightmare of enemies. If they didn't have the secret treasures that could restrain it, a warrior using space power could always move and cross between spaces. They had no means to lock down that warrior.
In case this kind of warriors met an opponent he couldn't face, he could sneak into a space slit and escape without damaging his body or his secret treasures.
Also, if they wanted to ambush the opponents, they would be the most dangerous assassins in this world!
You can never predict when he will appear behind your back. This feeling is like having a spear placed at your throat. Extremely irritating.
When this kind of warriors could perceive the slashing skill of the sharp space saber, he would become the best attacker!
In this world, nobody has ever heard about something that space saber couldn't cut off.
The space saber was more gruesome than the sharpest weapons. To it, there was nothing it couldn't pierce through. Bodies, treasures, mountains or rivers, even the souls; All found it hard to avoid the sharpness of space saber!
Zhu Yi smacked his tongue in awe. He looked at Shi Yan from a far distance. His countenance changed constantly.
Luckily, he wasn't an enemy…
Zhu Yi felt lucky thinking about that, and the pressure in his heart was loosened a little bit.
At this moment, Shi Yan suddenly turned to them, smiled then said, "How are you? Where are the others?"
Zhu Yi and Yue Ying got their eyes distressed.
Shi Yan was surprised. He was bewildered for a while then asked, "Unexpected things happened?"
"Ye Xiong's dead…" Zhu Yi sighed, his face bitter and sorrowful. He clenched his jaw then shouted. "I swear, I have to take revenge for him! To give us an exit, he had to burn his soul."
Yue Ying nodded, her face heavy and gloomy.
Shi Yan wasn't so surprised. He sighed then said faintly. "I knew it would happen. The two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan are the True God Realm experts. If you face them directly, it's almost impossible to win."
"Ghost Mark Clan?" Zhu Yi's eyes suddenly got colder. "You know their identity?"
Although Zhu Yi and Yue Ying were the noble characters of the Radiant God Cult and the Spirit Treasures Sect, they didn't know much of these ancient races. Having heard Shi Yan say so, they were cheered up and hurried to urge him.
"I know a little bit," Shi Yan nodded then frowned. "Anyway, we can't stay here any longer. I think those two sages will come here shortly. We should leave first."
Zhu Yi and Yue Ying were frightened. They nodded continuously.
They feared for it.
It wasn't that they were cowards; it was because of the big gap between them and the two sages. Along with the change of earth and heaven energy, the gap was extending. The longer they waited, the worse the situation could be.
"We should leave the Shady Firmament Old Mound first then we will plan the next step."
Shi Yan didn't linger, taking back the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter into the Blood Vein Ring, he left directly.
After this time of comprehending space power, he had vaguely touched the threshold of space power. Now he could use space power to create a space slit and guide all the attacks of his enemy into that slit, saving himself from harm.
He had just tried the ability, and it didn't fail him. He was overjoyed that the space slit could even swallow a True God Realm's attack. This meant he had another precious way to save his life.
At the same time, after the washing of space power, the Essence Qi in his body had blended with a small amount of space power, which helped him trigger space power and that he could tear spaces as he pleased.
Of course, his current understanding of space power was far behind the realm Zhu Yi had thought of.
However, he had made an encouraging step. Together with the increase of his realm, the ability to control space would become more fluent. At that time, he could make it change more magically.
"You don't want to find him?" The Nine Serenity Soul Devouring Flame talked to him from deep inside his soul with a feeble voice.
"Its original seal had been divided and dragged into different spaces. Although it can't be eradicated with only that, its power had been damaged badly. As its original seal can't be joined again, it can't restore the power. At this moment, it isn't a threat anymore."
Shi Yan beamed a faint smile. "Don't worry. It can't hide. I know the space nodes of its parts of the original seal. Wait until my cognition of space power can leap another step, I'll go get it."
"You can take this chance to find the thing that can restrain that flame. At that time, you can subdue it directly!" said the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.
"There's something that can restrain that flame?" Shi Yan's eyes brightened.
"Of course, everything in this world has a nemesis. They promote and constrain each other. Nothing is an exception or an absolute. Even though its thunder and lightning power is special, there's something that it can't harm even a bit. As long as we can find them and forge a treasure, of course, we can capture it. Harrumph, people don't know how to deal with it, but I know it pretty clear!"
"Excellent! Seems it can't escape my hands."
"If one day you can collect all the nine heaven flames, you will…"
"Will what?"
"You'll know at that time. Anyway, this is really hard. Almost impossible."
"What if I can do it?"
"Then the mysteries you will perceive will be as profound as what God knows! Every creature will admire your fortune!"
Shi Yan was frightened.
Until now, this Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame had ignored everything.
Secret treasures or magical materials couldn't get into its eyes of God. As a person who sat on a summit and had experienced everything, it seemed to not put into its eyes anything. Except for Shi Yan's Blood Vein Ring, it disregarded everything else.
This was the first time this flame said something with a solemn voice. It astounded Shi Yan. Collecting nine types of heaven flames…
This thought rooted in his head. He couldn't help but think about it. The more he thought about it, the bigger the feeling he had about the existence of something really magical was.
The nine heaven flames included the the Primal Chaos Sacred Flame, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Immemorial Demonic Flame, the Purgatory True Flame, the Yin Spirit God Flame, the Vermillion Bird True Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, the Vanishing CorpseFlame; among these nine heaven flames, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, the Purgatory True Flame, and the Vanishing Corpse Flame had appeared.
Shi Yan had the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and the Ice Cold Flame; Ye Chang Feng had the Purgatory True Flame; and the Vanishing Corpse Flame stayed with Qing Ming, the Master of the Corpse God Sect.
If things went well and he could get the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, it wouldn't be tough to get the Vanishing Corpse Flame from the Corpse God Sect's Master Qing Ming.
However, since Ye Chang Feng was his friend, it was hard to collect the Purgatory True Flame.
But if he could find something equal to exchange with Ye Chang Feng, it didn't sound impossible.
Heaven flames could detect each other. As long as the Primal Chaos Sacred Flame, Immemorial Demonic Flame, Yin Spirit God Flame, and Vermillion Bird True Flame existed in the Grace Mainland, perhaps he could meet them in the future and that he could have the opportunities to get them all…
Thoughts moved across his head. Shi Yan's eyes brightened. His complexion was solemn as though he was considering the possibility.
The uniting of the nine flames that the Nine Serenities Thunder Flame had mentioned was the greatest enticement. He couldn't help but want to carry out the plan immediately.
"We got out!"
Zhu Yi screamed then stormed out of a gloomy cave underground. He swung his arms and shouted. His sorrow seemed to be washed away.
"Ah!" Yue Ying screamed, facing the high sky. Suddenly, she shouted with fear. "Why does the sky look like that?!"
Shi Yan got out, lifted his head to look at the sky. He was stunned.
The sky was deep blue just like a vast sea. However, the sun, the moon, and the stars were there altogether. Stars scattered in the entire immense sky.
Under this blue dome of the sky, earth and heaven energy was floating like thick milky mist as though it had some wonderful changes. Countless unknown energies stormed out from different spaces, filling the whole sky.

Chapter 593: Changing
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
Shi Yan, Zhu Yi, and Yue Ying gawked. They didn't know what happened out there that made the sun, moon, and stars appear in the sky at the same time.
"You are from the Divine Great Land. Do you know what's going on?" Shi Yan asked the two precursors with a silly face.
Zhu Yi and Yue Ying shook their heads.
"Forget it. We should get to the Sect first. From this current situation, I can say the Grace Mainland is having some great changes. We don't know what's going on here. Perhaps, there're some books in the Sects that mention it. We should study carefully," Zhu Yi said uncertainly.
Shi Yan and Yue Ying forced a smile then nodded.
The three of them left together.
They had been running at fast speed for a while, but the sun, moon, and stars in the sky seemed to have no new changes as though the Grace Mainland would be like this from now on.
Leaving that quiet and immense wasteland area of the Shady Firmament Old Mound, the three of them then accelerated to the fastest speed to reach the Wonderful Stone City. All warriors in the Wonderful Stone City were scared by the great change of the sky. They didn't know what was going on there, so they were all longing for Zhu Yi.
As Zhu Yi was the city master of the Wonderful Stone City, right when he got back, he had checked out the situation of the city first. He got to know that Yun Xiu had brought the four juniors, Luo Xiao, Luo Meng, Li Mu Yu and Bai Hui Quan back to the city earlier.
Zhu Yi sighed discreetly.
"What did you meet in there? Where's Ye Xiong?" Yun Xiu took the four juniors. After they came back, she hurried to ask for the details.
Yue Ying and Zhu Yi immediately put on the sorrowful countenance, groaning insufficient details.
Yun Xiu felt her heart sinking. From their expressions, she guessed the Ye Xiong was more unfortunate than lucky. However, she didn't have a deep relation with Ye Xiong or had witnessed that scene, so she wasn't too upset.
"Elder Yue, Elder Yun, I think you guys should come back to the Radiant God Cult and report what we'd experienced in the Shady Firmament Old Mound to Master Yun Hao." Ye Xiong's brows slammed together. "I'm going to send the information immediately to tell them the details so as we can have a proper preparation."
Yue Ying nodded.
Although Yun Xiu didn't know the situation clearly, she didn't ask much. She knew that thing that happened in the tombs area wasn't good.
"Shi Yan, you certainly had some big harvests this time. After you get back to the Radiant God Cult, you should always be alert. I've always felt that the changes in the sky are somehow related to you…" Zhu Yi mused then talked in a somber tone.
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu looked at him with fright.
Shi Yan was also surprised. "I think you misunderstood something? What does it matter to me?"
Shaking his head, Zhu Yi said, "I can't say it clearly. I just have that feeling."
Shi Yan beamed a forced smile, but he still talked indifferently. "Alright, I'll be more cautious. See you later when we have time."
Now as he got the Ethereal Crystals, he was a little bit agitated. He wanted to build the massive-scaled Teleport Formation to form the connection with the Endless Sea.
Immortal Island also had a Teleport Formation. However, the distance it could teleport was relatively short. When he left the Endless Sea, he got to know about the space nodes from Yang Tian Emperor. The space nodes were the directions of movement between Teleport Formations. As long as he could get the precise space nodes, his Teleport Formation could perform its functions.
Of course, he wasn't so sure that the Teleport Formation he was about to build could connect to the Teleport Formation in Immortal Island using space nodes.
Anyway, the Teleport Formation in Immortal Island was a low-level one.
"Where is Ye Chang Feng?" Shi Yan hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask. After he had known about the uniting of nine heaven flames, which would give him a new magical destiny, from the Shady Firmament Old Mound, he kept thinking about it.
Ye Chang Feng had the Purgatory True Flame in his body, which was one of the heaven flames. He wanted to know if Ye Chang Feng knew about these mysteries. It could be a good preparation for him in the future.
"He went with Li Zheng Rong to the General Sect of the Spirit Treasure Sect. He won't come back shortly. If you don't have any important business to do, you can go there. Anyway, the current situation is a little bit special…"
"Alright, I got it. If Chang Feng comes back, please tell him to visit me at the Northern Gem Mountain."
"I'll definitely do it for you."
Since Zhu Yi had found Shi Yan's specialties in the Shady Firmament Old Mound, he decided to create a good relationship with Shi Yan.
Shi Yan's potentials were too intimidating. Not only his strong fighting competence, but he also had some attainment in using space power.
To young Spirit Realm warriors like him, Zhu Yi always appreciated. He was clear that he had to count on Shi Yan in the future
"Then I'm going to leave first."
Shi Yan wasn't lengthy. After bidding farewell to Zhu Yi, he left with Yue Ying and Yun Xiu to the Radiant God Cult.
Along the way, Yue Ying, the one who had been hostile to him, suddenly became so friendly. She often asked him about his cultivation as though she was his real precursor guiding him step by step to help him kick away the obstacles in his cultivating path.
Yue Ying's changed manners made Yun Xiu, Li Mu Yu, and Bai Hui Quan surprised a lot. They had a vague thought in their hearts.
"What happened? When we first arrived, didn't you hate him a lot? Why do you seem to turn into another person after getting out of the Shady Firmament Old Mound?"
Yun Xiu used a secret technique to talk to Yue Ying because she couldn't reason why.
"Yun-mei, later on, you should be more polite to Shi Yan. Don't make grudges against him…" Yue Ying answered her, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"Why?"
"He, how can I say. His competence is really formidable. I can't tell you the details. Anyway, listen to me, you should treat him as if he's the Grand Elder. At some point in the future, you have to beg him for his favor, perhaps."
"Me? Begging him?"
"Wind changes. We don't know what earth-shaking transformation will happen in the Divine Great Land. I always feel that Shi Yan will be one of the most outstanding warriors in the Divine Great Land in the near future. Creating a good relationship with him shouldn't be a bad thing for you later."
"Yue jie, are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Yun Xiu didn't say anything, but waves were rising in her heart. Her sight lay on Shi Yan with a different feeling.
"Mu Yu, from now on, you have to treat Shi Yan as your brother. Do not provoke him. You have to establish a good relationship with him!"
After giving advice to Yun Xiu, Yue Ying looked at her apprentice Li Yu Mu, talking to her with a serious complexion.
"Why? Teacher, what happened to you?" Li Mu Yu was full of grievance. "Why do you have to support him? What does he have? Isn't he just a person who depends on external forces to be stronger than the others? Teacher, are you afraid of him?"
"Stupid!" Yue Ying cursed under her breath. "Don't babble. You just need to remember that. Even if you have to offend the Grand Elder, you can't offend Shi Yan! We can't provoke this man, understand?"
Li Mu Yu was more frightened. She had never seen her teacher angry that much. She immediately shut her mouth, didn't dare to talk more.
Along the way, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu had treated Shi Yan with a magically changed manner. They were friendly and caring as if Shi Yan was their long lost relative. However, this irritated Shi Yan.
He understood the reason why these two women had changed their attitudes to him was that she had found his secrets.
To the change in their manners, he just enjoyed it naturally.
He always thought about taking his relatives and friends in the Endless Sea to the Divine Great Land. Although Yun Hao had treated him well, the Radiant God Cult didn't have only Yun Hao. Even if Shi Yan wasn't afraid of the elders like Yue Ying, the power of his friends in the Endless Sea was much weaker than them. If Yue Ying, Yun Xiu, and the others wanted to trouble them, it would be really difficult.
Shi Yan wasn't a narrow-minded person. When he found that Yue Ying and Yun Xiu started to establish the relationship with him carefully, he also put away his arrogant manner, proactively talking with them.
As Yue Ying and Yun Xiu could sense the changes in his manners, they felt happy, and suddenly they thought that he wasn't too bad. They were getting along well now.
After they got to the Northern Gem Mountain, Yue Ying pondered then talked to Shi Yan. "Earth and heaven spiritual Qi in the Northern Gem Mountain is too thin. I didn't know that. That's why I'd arranged you to stay here casually. Yeah, if you agree, I will arrange a better place for you, which is much better than the Northern Gem Mountain. What do you think?"
"Thank you. You don't need to bother. I appreciate you, precursor, already," Shi Yan smiled and denied.
The Northern Gem Mountain had dilute spiritual Qi, but its location wasn't bad. It was pretty far from the center of the Radiant God Cult, but it was close to the Spirit Treasure Sect.
To warriors, a place with thick spiritual Qi was good for them, but if they had abundant Essence Qi, they didn't need to be dependent on spiritual Qi of earth and heaven.
Shi Yan had the Holy Spirit God who had an innate talent of gathering spiritual Qi from everywhere. If he could arrange the Northern Gem Mountain better, with the Holy Spirit God's assistance, he could still make some changes.
And, the most important thing is, this place was far from the Radiant God Cult. He could do things easily without being sensed or spied on. For example, building a massive-scaled Teleport Formation.
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu didn't know why he denied their offer. They thought that he didn't want to form a connection with them. They were distressed a little bit. However, after he had explained, they felt better.
"What do you want to do in this remote area? Ah, yeah, does the Cult Master know what you want to do?" Yue Ying was worried, couldn't help but ask.
"I want to keep it on the down low for a while. I think, with his wide vision, he won't mind it," Shi Yan smiled, not considering it important.
Well, Yun Hao didn't even care about the fact that he could fuse the Flaming Sun power. Building a Teleport Formation to transport some warriors from the barbarian area wasn't something he would ask about.
Yun Hao was a friendly and straightforward man. If Shi Yan could bring his family from the Endless Sea, they could be of assistance. As Shi Yan was a disciple of the Radiant God Cult, his force was considered the Radiant God Cult's. It should be a benefit to Yun Hao though.
Shi Yan used his train of thought to predict the others'. He thought that if he were Yun Hao and he didn't care about the other matter, he wouldn't bother with this small thing.
Yue Ying and Yun Xiu didn't know what he wanted to do. But since he didn't want to talk more, they wouldn't inquire further. They bid him farewell and hurried to report to Yun Hao on what had happened in the Shady Firmament Old Mound.
As they had left, Shi Yan didn't talk more, starting to prepare to build a big Teleport Formation inside a mountain of the Northern Gem Mountain.

Chapter 594: Legend
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
He had thoroughly learned the method to build the Teleport Formation in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. Now he just needed to practice.
After the trip to the Shady Firmament Old Mound, he had another deep level of understanding of using space power, which boosted his confidence in building a Teleport Formation.
He'd continuously stayed around ten days inside the mountain, using the materials he got from Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi. He carefully refined them to meet the requirements then inlaid them into a massive formation he had prepared beforehand. Step by step, he added the crystals with different functions, which were to pour energy into the Ethereal Crystals.
With the Earth Flame, the work that needed a lot of time to other people was so smooth to him. He didn't meet any obstacles.
The ores and crystals had extremely high melting points, but the Earth Flame could turn them into strange liquid substances and purified it to get the final form of the purest materials.
While building the formation, he had wholeheartedly focused his mind, using his understanding of space power. He was neither hurried nor arrogant, just searching for possible problems to solve.
After his last time of comprehending power, his Soul Consciousness had a magical change. When he urged it, it could cross spaces miraculously.
At the same time, since his body had been washed with space power and the strenuous refining of the Immortal Rebirth Secret, it became more tenacious.
He was sure that warriors at the same Spirit Realm couldn't have the degree of a strong physique like him. Even the Third Sky of Spirit Realm experts couldn't have this morbid degree of physique.
From the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and the Ice Cold Flame, he knew that the warriors in the Antiquity Time had made physical training crucial to trigger the potentials of their bodies. With only the strength of their bodies, they could have an endless source of power.
Antiquity warriors, even if they didn't have a beam of Essence Qi, they were much stronger than ordinary people.
Without the Essence Qi, Antiquity Warriors could still hunt demonic beasts. They had valued physical training a lot as if it was as important as cultivating their souls.
Shi Yan understood that there should be a reason for those ancient people to do so.
From this thought, he had used the method to refine secret treasures to train his body to become more tenacious and maximize his body's potentials.
Half a month later.
Magical symbols flew out from Shi Yan's eyes, forming the spiritual formation in the void, illuminating the massive-scaled Teleport Formation in front of him. Magnificent space waves surged from his body as if they had established a connection with the formation in front of him to urge the energy of the Ethereal Crystals.
After those symbols had entered the big Teleport Formation it began to sparkle. Countless refined translucent crystals were reflecting and illuminating the vague concept of the void. Beautiful rays and light spots shone and flashed gloriously.
Shortly, Shi Yan spat out beams of crystal light energy pouring into the altar in the center of Teleport Formation. He then began describing some strange space nodes inside a ring.
The massive round Teleport Formation glowed vigorously like a fiercely bright lamp, releasing intense space fluctuations.
Shi Yan walked toward the sacrificial altar.
Standing on the altar made of Ethereal Crystals, Shi Yan scanned around the altar with clear lines of the formation everywhere. He took a deep breath. He was a little bit nervous before he activated the Teleport Formation.
Waves of space power covered him. Inside the light curtain of space power, Shi Yan was struck as his soul sublimated!
It works!
He had put forth a lot of effort with many sleepless nights. At the moment he saw the light curtain, he seemed to fall into a new Intent Domain. His Sea of Consciousness surged when the space Upanishads in his host soul began heating up.
In this big joy, his host soul gained another benefit as its fusion with space power was having another step forward.
Standing inside the space light curtain, his face was brightened as he was filled with wisdom. Shi Yan disappeared.
--
Immortal Island.
Around ten warriors of the Yang family were frightened, gawking at the small Teleport Formation.
"He… Who is he?"
"Never met before? Why does he appear in the Teleport Formation?"
"That man… Hey, I've heard about him before… He is…"
"Who?"
"He looks like Young Master Yan!"
"Young Master Yan?"
Everybody was astounded. They suddenly got excited, screaming loudly.
The name Shi Yan in the Endless Sea was a legend. His existence in the Yang Family was the unsurpassed glory.
With the manpower of only himself, he had saved the Yang family from the abyss, making the Yangs the strongest force of the Endless Sea…
His stories were exaggerated and bragged around the Endless Sea. No matter they were newcomers or the younger generations of the stronger families, they all admired and respected Shi Yan.
—— especially the Yang family.
"Are you sure he's Young Master Yan? I heard that he had crossed the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist to the Divine Great Land, didn't he?"
"So what? Couldn't he come back now?"
"Ah, right, right, right. I'm going to report now!"
The juniors watching the Teleport hurried to report to their seniors, leaving only one behind to watch over the place. He now looked at Shi Yan with large admiration on his face.
Shi Yan stood emotionlessly inside the Teleport Formation.
Long afterwards, he opened his eyes, his face overjoyed.
He'd never thought that at the moment he had activated the Teleport Formation, he somehow received God's help, which sublimated his soul once again!
He vaguely felt that as long as he had accumulated enough Essence Qi, he could break through to the Second Sky of Spirit Realm.
While he had been building the massive-scaled Teleport Formation, he had a deeper understanding of space power, using the meanings and power he had comprehended to sublimate his soul, leading to the increase of his realm.
He laughed contentedly. Opening his eyes, he looked at the young man in front of him and smiled. "This place is the Immortal Island, right?"
That young man was around seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had an Earth Realm cultivation base. He was thrilled hearing Shi Yan's question. He nodded, "Yeah, Young Master Yan. This is the Immortal Island. I'm the external disciple of the Yang family. My name's Zhu Tao."
"Zhu Tao. Yeah, can you tell me a bit about the Endless Sea's current situation?" Shi Yan smiled and walked with Zhu Tao to the center of the Immortal Island.
He hadn't noticed that he had left the Endless Sea for several years. What happened to the Endless Sea during this time, he had no clue.
"Since you've left, there were not many big changes. The Yang family's still the overlord of the Endless Sea. The House Master had broken through the Second Sky of Spirit Realm one year ago…"
Zhu Tao had fulfilled his responsibilities wholeheartedly, telling him all what he knew.
The Endless Sea stayed the same, and the Yang Family was still the sole overlord. Tang Yuan Nan of the Three Gods Sect also had a breakthrough. Thanks to their alliance with the Yang family, the Three Gods Sect had benefited, too. They've become one of the strongest forces in the Endless Sea.
Ouyang Luo Shuang of the Three Gods Sect had disappeared not long after Shi Yan left the Endless Sea. No one knew where she had gone. Xia Qing Hou of the Xia family had brought his family back to the Kyara Sea. They said that he had reached the Third Sky of Spirit Realm now.
The Cao family and the Spirit Martial Palace had remained their force, but they weren't as strong as the forces in the Kyara Sea. For the Sea Tribes undersea, they submitted to the Yang family. Sea Tribes hotshots in the Barren City had to depend on the Yang's materials to cultivate.
Although Zhu Tao was just an external disciple, he had the general picture of the Endless Sea. Shi Yan felt satisfied with his narration, discreetly nodded.
Shortly, Shi Yan arrived at the Meeting Hall of the Yang family. Old men of the Yang family and the Shi family had arrived earlier. They were waiting for him in joy. They were all astounded as they knew Shi Yan had reached the Spirit Realm. They then acclaimed Shi Yan's terrific cultivating speed.
Shi Jian and Shi Tie were at the Sky Realm. The open resources of the Yang family had given the Shi family of the Quiet Cloud Land some big advantages.
Soon, Di Shan, Yu Rou, and Yi Tian Mo had come.
Yang Tian Emperor had completed his patrol route; he arrived after the pagans Di Shan and Yu Rou. They then prepared a welcome party for Shi Yan in the meeting hall of the Yangs.
However, Yang Tian Emperor, Shi Jian, Di Shan, and Yi Tian Mo all had a grim expression as if they had some big trouble that was weighing their hearts down.
"Great Grandpa, you guys seem to be having some trouble. Would you mind telling me about it?" Shi Yan took a swig of his wine, frowned then asked.
"A strange phenomenon has happened. I don't know what is going on. Little Yan, you've come back from the Divine Great Land, do you know anything about it?" Yang Tian Emperor sighed. "Half a month ago, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars have appeared altogether in the sky. The sky hasn't restored to its regular state yet. Demon Dwellers have started to gather again. I heard that some tremendous existences have appeared among them!"
Shi Yan was stunned. After a while, he beamed a forced smile. "Oh, that's it."
"You know the reasons?" Yang Tian Emperor sat upright. His face was grim as he had a murderous, heavy aura.
Shi Yan was scared in his heart, his face astounded. He gazed at the older man.
Yang Tian Emperor had only the Second Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base, but the aura from him was more dangerous than that of a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior in the Divine Great Land.
Rumors said that Yang Tian Emperor and Cao Qiu Dao used to absorb the blood of a God King expert, which gave them an earth-shaking transformation. The power Yang Tian Emperor had just demonstrated could only be defeated by peak experts like Yun Hao in the Divine Great Land.
"Argh. I heard that this change of earth and heaven somehow relates to me. Of course, it's just a joke. I think the pagan tribes are trying to wreck us." Shi Yan smiled, looking at Yi Tian Mo. "I've been to the Shady Firmament Old Mound. This phenomenon has arisen from that place."
Yi Tian Mo and his team were struck. They stood upright to listen to him more attentively.
The Shady Firmament Old Mound was the ancestral land of the Demonic Sound Clan. They had always wanted to be there. Now, as they finally had a chance to get information about the place, they couldn't press down the urging from their emotions.

Chapter 595: Refining corpses
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
After Shi Yan'd finished, Yi Tian Mo and his group kept silent.
They had always wanted to visit the Shady Firmament Old Mound to receive their ancestor's inheritance, taking the Yin Written Charm Scripture, which would help their clan thrive and be stronger.
However, from Shi Yan's explanation, they knew that the Ghost Mark Clan had been in the Shady Firmament Old Mound for quite a long time. And, they were a branch of the Ghost Mark Clan. However, after so many years, they had lost the ghost tattoos - the source of their power. Now they only had a weak physique and a strong soul.
Without the ghost tattoos, they were incomplete. It would be hard to be accepted by the Ghost Mark Clan.
According to Shi Yan, the Ghost Mark Clan hated all kinds of creatures. They would be taking action shortly to make blood rain over the Divine Great Land.
It wasn't what they wanted. The Ghost Mark Clan was extreme to them.
"This is the situation. The relationship between you guys and the Ghost Mark Clan is complicated. If you want to be recognized by them, you can go to the Shady Firmament Old Mound. I won't hinder you guys."
Yi Tian Mo and the other two kept silent.
After a long while, Yi Tian Mo said, "We want to think about it more carefully. And, the changes of earth and firmament energy seems to benefit us. Strong Yin Qi is diffusing. It accelerates our cultivating speed."
Shi Yan's complexion had a slight change.
"Not only them, we feel the same," said Di Shan.
Yi Tian Mo and Di Shan were from the alien tribes. The structure of their bodies and the ways they cultivated were different from that of humans. The changes of earth and heaven had facilitated their cultivation by providing a more suitable environment. However, this wasn't a good sign.
Yang Tian Emperor was sensitive enough to sense the danger. He darkened his face, and didn't say anything.
"The heave gate that connects to the Fourth Demon Area in the Yang Family had exploded. Devil Qi permeates from there is really thick. We can see a big space crack, too. Now, there's no barrier between the Endless Sea and the Fourth Demon Area. Their hotshots can easily enter our territory," said Yang Zhuo begrudgingly.
"There should be a big change in the Fourth Demon Area," nodded Yang Tian Emperor. "Not only the Fourth Demon Area, Tang Yuan Nan told me that the Seven-layered Underworld is the same. The heaven gate there is destroyed, too. And, Dark Qi is raising vehemently from the sea. Moreover, Tang Yuan Nan said that the Dark Sea of the Seven-layered Underworld had some terrifying change. The aura of the Underworld has been exuding from the downstream of the Dark Sea. Perhaps the bottom of the Underworld has been broken."
"The bottom of the Underworld? What's going on?" Shi Yan asked suspiciously.
"The Seven-layered Underworld has seven layers, of course. But only the four top layers are normally revealed. The three bottom layers are sealed. According to the Dark Dwellers, the three bottom layers of the Underworld are their paradise, where it has the strongest treasures and the soul inheritance of the Dark Clan. Perhaps some experts of the Dark Clan have still survived…" Yang Tian Emperor became stern.
Shi Yan's eyes sparkled. He took a deep breath then said, "Seems like the Endless Sea can't maintain its peace."
Yang Tian Emperor nodded.
"Although I don't know what is going on, from the signs we have now, the entire Grace Mainland is also having a great change. Great grandpa, the forces in the Endless Sea aren't strong enough to encounter that change. I think we should mobilize a part of our lower realm members to the Divine Great Land. I have a territory in the Radiant God Cult…"
Shi Yan tried to convince him.
It was beyond his expectation. Yang Tian Emperor nodded generously. "Kid, you're excellent. You can even build a Teleport Formation. Well done. Well done! Anyway, the Divine Great Land is the center where martial arts are spread wide with so many experts. I do want to take the Yang family there. Your intended deed suits my wish well."
Shi Yan was cheered up; he smiled then said, "Don't worry. Yun Hao – the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult – isn't a narrow-minded person. He would welcome us all. Yeah, Great Grandpa, you should contact Tang Yuan Nan and tell him to move his Three Gods Sect there, too. The Three Gods Sect's a part of the Radiant God Cult. They will accept them easily."
"Okay, I'll arrange it," nodded Yang Tian Emperor, "Through many years, we've collected a big amount of cultivating materials from the Endless Sea and the Fourth Demon Area. Even if we move to the Divine Great Land, we won't be too poor. It's enough to give us a prosperous life. But yeah, I need time to prepare."
Shi Yan smiled. Next, he discussed with Yang Tian Emperor and Shi Jian about their family business. He had asked for Qing Ming's whereabouts then left quietly.
--
Qing Ming was in a burial area of the Corpse God Sect.
Since Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had become the leaders of the Corpse God Sect, Qing Ming'd lost his power. The corpse slaves had been enslaved for many years now became the disciples, and their old masters were kicked out.
The burial place where Qing Ming was staying had many human disciples of the Corpse God Sect. Unfortunately, they didn't have the corpse slaves to use.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had defeated him in the game of power so now he had to bring his human disciples out of the center of the Sect to a remote area to survive.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea then ruled the Corpse God Sect, making them raise up slowly, becoming the most peculiar force in the Endless Sea. They were just a little bit weaker than the Kyara Sea.
Today, Qing Ming with his wicked eyes was listening to the report from his elders in the burial area. The more he listened, the more irritated he felt.
"What did you say? Did you get it wrong? There're so many corpse slaves here. How could they all have intellect?" Qing Ming opened his eye wide, squawking.
Li Yue smiled bitterly. "It's true. I've received the news saying that the corpse slaves in the other burials areas have started to have wisdom. Their living forms seem to have made some changes quietly. Their soul fluctuations are even more special than ours…"
"How could it be!" Qing Ming was fierce. "The corpse slaves are made from dead bodies. Basically, they don't have souls. How could they have such a strange change? I thought only Corpse Sea and Corpse Mount got their intellect and soul through some f*cking method, right?"
"I'm not sure," Li Yue was full of suspicion. "The method we use to control the corpse slaves has started to lose its effect, too. We don't have any bind to the corpse slaves anymore. And, I tried to use the Corpse Control Technique from a distance, but I got backbite. My spirit got hurt badly!"
Qing Ming was dumbstruck.
He had never imagined that the corpse slaves that he had enslaved now all had the significant change. Not only the strong ones but even the lowest grade corpse slave also started to have wisdom.
This kind of change was far beyond his knowledge.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
From deep inside his pupils, green flames flickered like lightning flash. Then, a thought dispersed.
"Earth and heaven has had a great change. The energy of earth and heaven isn't the same anymore. The Corpse Clan is about to awaken. They will become stronger. This is unavoidable. You don't need to worry much." The Corpse Vanishing Flame's thought rose in Qing Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
Qing Ming was struck.
The Sun, Moon, and the Stars all appeared in the sky, and they hadn't moved yet. Qing Ming had observed this phenomenon.
From the way the Corpse Vanishing Flame talked, the corpse slaves getting intellect was related to the change of heaven and earth, which surprised him a lot. "What's happened?"
"Do you want to take control of the Corpse God Sect again?" The Corpse Vanishing Flame didn't answer but asked him instead.
"Retake the control? Do you have any means?" Qing Ming was stunned.
"You make yourself a corpse. At that time, you can fuse completely with me. Then, you will become a member of the Corpse Clan. With my assistance, you will surpass Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea soon and become the chief of the new Corpse Clan's generation. How does it sound?" The Corpse Vanishing Flame guided him through the steps, trying to entice him.
"What? Making me a corpse?" Qing Ming discolored in fright. The light in his eyes scattered as he couldn't keep his mind calm.
"Yeah, you have to refine yourself to be a corpse. The Corpse Clan's one of the ten Antiquity Clans. They are much stronger than you humans. The energy of earth and heaven wasn't suitable for them to grow. But it has changed now. As long as you agree to do that, I'm sure you can take back the Corpse God Sect and even the entire continent. If only you become a corpse, you can fuse with me completely to promote my power to the acme. And, I know some supernatural Upanishads of the Corpse Clan. When you become a corpse, you can practice it."
Qing Ming was stunned. He was in a daze, and didn't move an inch.
The reason why he could become the Master of the Corpse God Sect was that he had barged into a random burial area and got the Corpse Vanishing Flame there. Afterward, he had practiced the Corpse Control Technique fluently, which made him, the smallest disciple of the Corpse God Sect, become a powerful Master.
He knew that all of what he got today was all because of the Corpse Vanishing Flame.
Unfortunately, until now, he hadn't completely fused with the Corpse Vanishing Flame. They just had a relationship of cooperation.
Qing Ming knew the secrets that had been passed through generations since the Antiquity Time. He knew that if he could fuse with the heaven flame, he could gain a greater benefit. He had thought about that, but he had no means to carry it out.
Today, the Corpse Vanishing Flame had suggested him to become a corpse, which would facilitate him to fuse with the flame and receive the inheritance of the Corpse Clan. He didn't know whether it was true or not. However, he was enticed, and he wanted to do that.
"Corpse Clan. Chief of the Corpse Clan… Unite the entire continent…"
Qing Ming muttered. Deep green light sparkled from deep inside his pupils. His Soul Consciousness and will were gradually affected. He was still pondering.
Slowly, he was in a state as if his soul was taken away. He strolled unknowingly toward the area which was used to refine the corpses.
Along the way, many disciples looked at him with fright. However, the green Corpse Vanishing Flame had covered them before they could come near Qing Ming. Not long after that, they became cold dead bodies. A bizarre aura diffused from them. Their soul didn't perish, but they were changing quietly as if they had a special transformation.
Disciples standing on Qing Ming's path all turned into corpses. Qing Ming walked lonely toward the refining area. He sat in a coffin and activated the formation to refine the corpse.
Corpse aura torrentially exuded from the ground. It burst out from the underground of the burial area. It was then collected and poured into his coffin through countless thin pipes.
Qing Ming sat there. He didn't even move an inch. The Corpse Vanishing Flame in his eyes were so excitedly as if it was taking in Qing Ming's soul to carry out the heaven flame's transformation.
The sky above the burial area had numerous silver light dots as earth and heaven aura was changing, shining on this place, overflowing Qing Ming's coffin. The strange, evil corpse refining process started.

Chapter 596: Corpse Clan
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
Shi Yan came back to the Endless Sea to move the Yang family to the Divine Great Land. Also, there was another reason for his visit. The Corpse Vanishing Flame.
The Corpse Vanishing Flame ranked last among the heaven flames. Qing Ming, the Master of the Corpse God Sect, had the flame but he was weak. He couldn't counter Shi Yan directly. Shi Yan thought that it would be easy to take the Corpse Vanishing Flame from him.
Shi Yan went to the burial area where Qing Ming was secluded alone. He released his Soul Consciousness to sense. His face changed immediately.
There's no aura of living people here!
According to Yang Tian Emperor, this burial area was the gathering place of human disciples in the Corpse God Sect. There should be many disciples of the Corpse God Sect, whom Qing Ming was managing as the Sect Master.
However, his Soul Consciousness could sense only dense Corpse Qi. The aura permeating the area was evil and gloomy.
It's the particular fluctuation of the corpse slaves.
His brows slammed together. He walked around the burial area. Indeed, he found many newly-created corpse slaves. They didn't have consciousness, just laid on the cold, hard ground. Their clothes looked shabby as if the wind had worn them out. Their skin glowed with strange phosphorescent light.
After the earth and heaven aura energy changed, it was full of Yin Qi and Corpse Qi, falling from the sky like the raindrops, scattering on the corpses.
Deep underground in the burial area, Yin Qi and Corpse Qi blended together. Dark green mist diffused, covering the newly formed corpses.
Yin Qi, Corpse Qi, and the energy of earth and heaven had mixed all together, creating green threads that naked eyes could observe, crawling on the corpses' skin. Then, they moved in a special trajectory, entering the corpses. After that, those green threads fused with their bones and flesh and were starting to improve their functions.
A fierce fluctuation came from a place deep inside the burial area. The energy in the sky showered toward a direction like a heavy rain.
Shi Yan arched his brows, his face cold. He disappeared immediately.
Countless strange patterns were crawling on an ancient coffin. Beams of peculiar energy got into the coffin as though they were like a nest of spiritual snakes. The coffin then exuded an icy, devil aura that irritated the souls.
His Soul Consciousness moved swiftly like electric currents through the coffin. Shi Yan snorted, swinging his arm. Countless beams of light entangled the coffin lid and furiously lifted it up.
Corpse Qi overflowed from the coffin, revealing the writhed body of Qing Ming. He looked pale with no vitality. His sinister, green pupils gazed at Shi Yan.
"You are not him," Shi Yan sneered, nodded to the corpse. "Seems Qing Ming had fallen into your sinister trap. Yeah, it's okay, anyway. Even if you didn't take action, I would have done that. Well, since you've taken his home, we can talk then."
"Muahahaha. What do you want to talk about?" The Corpse Vanishing Flame beamed a cold, wicked smile. The green flame inside the pupils of the distorted face shot out.
Outside the burial area, more than ten new corpse slaves slowly got up, circling Shi Yan.
Each corpse slave shot out a deep green light. More than ten beams interweaved, covering Shi Yan like a spider web. Dense Corpse Qi waves expanded. It seemed to form a big, ancient corpse refining formation.
Shi Yan wanted to talk, but now he had to change his face to a colder expression.
He could feel the Corpse Qi rolling toward him from everywhere, creating the magical great corpse refining formation, which affected his Sea of Consciousness and his soul. It started to erode his body, preventing him from moving his Essence Qi.
"This is the Corpse Refining Nine Revolution Formation of the Corpse Clan. In the Antiquity Time, the Corpse Clan had used this formation to refine the living creatures into their fellows and enslave them."
The Corpse Vanishing Flame was as calm as a cunning, experienced hunter. After it had arranged everything, it said casually.
"I know you have the Ice Cold Flame. Too bad, you didn't fuse your soul with it. That flame is ranked above me, but it had been damaged badly. It isn't as strong as I am now. Muahahaha. Let me take you."
The Corpse Vanishing Flame laughed evilly. Clusters of Corpse Clan's secret symbols sparkled in its deep green pupils then shot out like the starlight toward the corpse slaves out there.
After the corpse slaves received the power of the Corpse Vanishing Flame, they were stirred up. Magical soul fluctuations rippled from their tranquil heads as if they had just resurrected from death. This is really shamanistic.
The great corpse refining formation was formed by the corpse aura of the ten corpse slaves. However, when these ten corpses were awakened, the formation was complete. It then could release the erosive soul aura, covering Shi Yan.
Flows of erosive Corpse Qi entangled him like the rough ropes. The aura of the refining formation affected his Sea of Consciousness. Corpse Qi had entered his Sea of Consciousness, stirring it up as if it was about to change.
In his Sea of Consciousness, flows of Corpse Qi started to dissolve his Sea of Consciousness. It was about to erode Shi Yan's host soul.
All of a sudden, the Inner World Five Devils stormed out from a deep place in his Sea of Consciousness. They then furiously swallowed all the Corpse Qi.
Shi Yan's countenance didn't change. Fiery flame burst out from his body. His pores became blazing hot. He looked like an erupting volcano, burning the intruding Corpse Qi into white smoke.
His Star Martial Spirit moved. The Big Dipper God Arrow was activated. The Big Dipper Bow was condensed in front of Shi Yan; he installed the Big Dipper Arrow, adding the flaming power and his Soul Consciousness energy.
The Big Dipper Arrow fired in the void, dragging a really long flaming tail. It crossed the space and exploded directly on Qing Ming's body.
Numerous rays of light and the flaming sun power covered Qing Ming's body, and the host of the Corpse Vanishing Flame. The flaming sun and the star energy bursted off instantly, which damaged Qing Ming's body severely.
"Burn!"
Five flames shot out from Shi Yan's fingers. They coiled around Qing Ming immediately.
Fiery flames were the nemesis of corpses. Qing Ming's body hadn't been transformed into a complete corpse. Under the furious burning energy of the Earth Flame and the flaming sun, its cold Corpse Qi was dissolved quickly.
Not long afterward, Qing Ming's body was charred like a burned tree.
"Seems your lodging process isn't complete yet. And you haven't fused Qing Ming's soul altogether. Well, you're your bad luck though." Shi Yan said nonchalantly then continued to release his flaming sun energy. Clusters of sunlight fired from between his hands, bombarding Qing Ming.
The earth and heaven had a strange phenomenon where the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars all appeared at the same time in the sky. As a warrior with the Star Martial Spirit, he was sensitive enough to see the good opportunity.
The absorbing speed of the star, and the sun energy of his martial spirit was more than ten times faster. Anyway, after the earth and heaven had a strange change, his Star Martial Spirit seemed to change accordingly, which terrified him a lot.
In the past, he didn't dare to waste the sun energy in his body. But now he didn't need to care about that anymore.
Flaming sun energy balls, as big as the fist, bombarded and exploded in Qing Ming's body successively.
Whenever he released the flaming sun energy, his absorbing speed of the flaming sun would accelerate several times. The energy he had consumed was refilled shortly, condensing into the small sun in his heart.
In vague sensing, he knew that his Star Martial Spirit had evolved. However, unfortunately, he didn't know how they graded the Star Martial Spirit, nor the difference after it had developed.
Roar Roar!
The Five Devils were roaring, soaring out of his Sea of Consciousness. They looked like five gray tornadoes flying toward the different directions to deal with the corpse slaves that only had their intellect.
Shi Yan was struck. He could sense some changes in his Sea of Consciousness. At the same time, a clear, crisp cracking sound echoed from the Blood Vein Ring on his finger as if some barrier had been broken.
Qing Ming was burned into ashes. A gloomy green flame, as big as a palm, flew out from Qing Ming's body.
The Blood Vein Ring shot out five-colored beams, creating a cage imprisoning that green flame, slowly dragging it toward the ring.
"What's that?! No! Noooo!" The Corpse Vanishing Flame was terrified. It was continually releasing the soul fluctuations in an attempt to escape.
However, under the light of the Blood Vein Ring, it couldn't get what it wanted. The ring slowly pulled it away.
Shortly, the Corpse Vanishing Flame disappeared into the Blood Vein Ring. Shi Yan was struck hard. He immediately sensed a flow of memory flooding his brain.
--
The Corpse God Sect.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were sitting in the middle of a white bone pile, opening their mouths to take in the phosphorescent light from the bones, their faces satisfied.
The white bones looked like jade with sparkling phosphorescent light. These bones had dense Yin Qi. Each of them was giant, around thirty meters long. Obviously, they weren't from humans.
No one knew where Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had picked up those bones. While they were taking in the phosphorescent light, their bodies were exuding a faint white mist, which functioned like a net collecting the Yin Qi in the sky.
More than one thousand corpse slaves were surrounding Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea. All of them had the solemn countenance as if they all had intelligence.
Around ten corpse slaves stood nearest to Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea. They were wearing snow-white armor, which was made of strange jade. They formed a group.
Another group of ten corpse slaves was discussing with each other, using a strange language. They all had a surprised look. When they looked at Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea, they were full of respect.
This group of nearly one thousand corpse slaves, at the moment the earth and heaven had changed, had gained their wisdom. Their path of life evolution had opened.
All of a sudden, Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea seemed to sense something. They both jolted up in the middle of the white bone piles. They frowned, looking in a general direction.
"It's our benefactor!"
"Yeah, it's him."
"We should go find him!"
"Okay."
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea exchanged some utterances then flew out, darting like lightning toward the burial area where Shi Yan was standing.
Many corpse slaves standing near the giant bones pile released their soul fluctuations, taking in the energy from those white bones.
While the corpse slaves were taking in the energy from the white bones, the energy in their bodies started to change. Their intelligence was increasing. Those corpse slaves started to understand simple language, and they could talk to each other.
It seemed, at the moment that they were awakened, they had turned into a kind of high-grade life form.

Chapter 597: Heaven Flame Divine Refining Technique!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Heaven Flame Divine Refining Technique!
The memory flow from the Blood Vein Ring flooded Shi Yan's brain. Surprisingly, it was an ancient technique, which was to refine the heaven flame. It was called Heaven Flame Divine Refining.
Refining heaven flames fused them to make the Fire of Life. This flame could light up the souls to create the Original Soul.
The Heaven Flame Divine Refining Technique was both profound and mysterious, developed a long, long time ago in the ancient times. Although he had the complete technique guidance, he couldn't learn by himself. He didn't know how to do it. Besides the heaven flames, this technique required three primary materials and more than ten admixtures.
He had heard about those dozens of auxiliary materials, but he had never known about the three key materials.
They were Thunder Witch Wood, Blood Soul Divine Water, and Five Element Crystal Marrow.
The electric current of that memory overflowed from the Blood Vein Ring when the barrier inside the ring was broken. It wasn't different from the Rampage or Death and Life Seal.
The Heaven Flame Divine Refining Technique crossed his head once, then became a soul seal, falling into the deepest place of his memory. Unless his soul was burned, he would never forget it.
Although he got the technique to refine them, without the heaven flames, the key materials and the auxiliary materials, and the comprehension of the meanings of the technique, everything would stay only in his thought.
Shi Yan evaluated the situation in silence. He couldn't help but shake his head, not wanting to overthink.
Only gathering the nine heaven flames would take an unknown time; and, he had never heard about the three key materials. All of a sudden, Shi Yan found that the path he'd chosen was an endless way.
However, this Heaven Flame Divine Refining Technique reminded him of one word – Original Soul.
At this moment, he didn't know what the Original Soul was. From his knowledge, he knew that after the Spirit Realm warriors had entered the True God Realm, they could create the God Soul. But he had never heard about the Original Soul, and whether or not it was related to the God Soul.
Shi Yan contemplated for a while, then stopped thinking about it. He let his mind sink into the Blood Vein Ring.
A dark green flame was confined inside a rainbow halo. Countless red lightning strikes were coiling around that flame, as though they were the chains that tied the flame tightly.
"Get off me! Damn you, low human! Your living form isn't qualified to co-exist with me!" The Corpse Vanishing Flame's soul fluctuation was strong. It was clamoring and threatening anxiously with a hot temper.
Shi Yan was cold. A flow of his soul formed a phantom to look at the flame in the Blood Vein Ring.
"You'd better stay here. Wait until you calm down and get contented with your lot, we will then talk. Harrumph, my living form's low? I don't know how high you are! Don't babble and lose your face!"
While he was talking with the green flame, the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame were approaching inaudibly from the other corners of the Blood Vein Ring. Then, they stared at the Corpse Vanishing Flame.
The Blood Vein Ring was like a boundless world. In this place, it was just a space without any objects.
However, if the Blood Vein Ring wanted, it could create different sceneries to achieve its purpose.
The Blood Vein Ring had subdued the Corpse Vanishing Flame completely. No matter how much it struggled, the flame could never escape.
After the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame arrived, they released their unique life fluctuations, as if they were comforting the Corpse Vanishing Flame.
The Corpse Vanishing Flame was still raging; its life fluctuation was very fierce. It disdained the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame.
Shi Yan's soul observed the situation inside the Blood Vein Ring for a while. After he could confirm that the Corpse Vanishing Flame couldn't escape, he retreated his soul.
The five hazy gray silhouettes zoomed over from a far place, entering his Sea of Consciousness.
The Inner World Five Devils were the ones created by the negative energy. Unknowingly, they had a brutal and immense aura of the past, which gave him a strange feeling that they had been living for many years.
The Five Devils had their auras increased significantly, and their strange soul fluctuations were stronger. Unfortunately, their wisdom hadn't changed much. In this aspect, the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame had a better progress.
Shi Yan sensed them for a while. He was sure that the Five Devils had something changed about them. Otherwise, their auras wouldn't become so old and unpredictable. He thought that the Five Devils had acquired some new powers.
However, he couldn't find what the change was even after trying to analyze.
Qing Ming's body had become hard coke. The corpse slaves around him had lost their vitality, falling on the ground one by one. Even the cold Corpse Qi on their bodies had dispersed.
Shi Yan understood that the Inner World Five Devils had taken the feeble souls of these newly awakened corpse slaves. Without the soul, their energy had to scatter.
He vaguely felt that after each time the Inner World Five Devils absorbed strange energies, they would have some changes. But it wasn't very clear.
This time, the Five Devils had an ancient aura, as if they had collected the power from the Antiquity Time. This surprised him a lot.
He only knew that the Five Devils were the copies of his soul, created by refining the negative emotions. They were connected to his soul, and his soul could control them.
As the Five Devils got stronger, his host soul would be benefited.
However, the Five Devils getting strong enough to oppress his host wasn't something he wanted to see.
Thus, he discreetly paid attention. Sensing for a while, he found that the Five Devils couldn't threaten him. Eventually, he calmed down.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
Two silhouettes with thick Corpse Qi flew across the clear sky like lightning.
Shi Yan released his Soul Consciousness while smiling and standing at his spot.
Not long after that, Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea descended from the sky, standing steadily in front of him.
"Benefactor!"
After Corpse Sea and Corpse Mount arrived, they slightly bent their bodies, putting one hand on their forehead and the other hand on their chest. They greeted him with this unusual etiquette.
Shi Yan was surprised, looking at these two Corpse King, his eyes astounded.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were wearing bright silver clothing and accessories. Their garments looked like they were made of bone dust as they were sparkling. Thick gloomy Corpse Qi exuded from them. The phosphorescent light spots were too many, dewing on their clothes like drops of oil.
He focused on sensing for a while. His visage changed as he got more solemn.
That was the corpse toxin, the intimidating corpse toxin! Just with a drop, the victim's body would be eroded and gradually turned into a corpse.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea looked indifferently as if they didn't have emotions. They stood upright naturally but with a gloomy vibe. Their auras were strange. Low-realm warriors standing in front of them would have their souls shivering under their imposing manners.
As Shi Yan had space power in his Soul Consciousness, he could sense the others' soul fluctuations faster and more precisely.
He sensed them discreetly, and the surprise he had grew bigger. He almost screamed out.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had a Sea of Consciousness in their heads with a strange host soul. However, their Sea of Consciousness wasn't similar to that of humans. The human Sea of Consciousness looked like a sea, but Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had a Sea of Consciousness that looked like a gravestone. A black gravestone!
Each of them had a black tombstone in their heads, covered with magical symbols. Each symbol was taking in a kind of energy from heaven and earth.
There was a translucent spot in the middle of the black headstone, where lay Corpse Mount's and Corpse Sea's soul seal, which was a pale flame. Just like Shi Yan's host soul, it was their root of life.
Black tombstone… Pale flame host soul… They were the unique features of the high-grade living beings.
Corpse Clan…
A thought crossed his head. Shi Yan was frightened, as he seemed to get something.
"You… Something has changed in your heads…" He wasn't so sure, so he tried to probe them.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea beamed a bizarre smile, which astounded Shi Yan.
"Yes, we had the second change when the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars appeared together in the sky. At that moment, we felt something like an inheritance. It was like a shower on our souls. It was the inheritance power of an ancient clan. Although it wasn't complete, it still changed us," Corpse Mount explained.
"Inheritance?" Shi Yan was surprised. He was disbelieving. "Where did it come from?"
"I don't know. It seems to come from the heaven and earth energy. I am unable to define it." Corpse Mount was hesitant. Later on, he continued, "This is the inheritance of the Corpse Clan. It has some secrets and the cultivating techniques of the Clan. Creating the life tombstone and the Corpse Soul are the foundation techniques that the Corpse Clan cultivates."
Shi Yan was terrified.
"Our Corpse Clan's inheritance seemed to be hidden somewhere between heaven and earth. After the heaven and earth changed, it created the memory fluctuations that each member of the Corpse Clan could receive. The stronger the members of the Corpse Clan are, the more inheritance we can receive. At least, we can use that memory fluctuation to gain consciousness and become the clansmen of the Corpse Clan officially…"
Corpse Mount told Shi Yan the secrets that discolored him. Shi Yan was frightened.
Inheritance, the inheritance that descended from the sky, conveying the secrets and the power Upanishads of the Corpse Clan that could awaken the corpse slaves and make them the clansmen of the Corpse Clan. It could even help Corpse Kings like Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea cultivate the life tombstone. What kind of an inheritance was that? Where did it come from?
Questions flew around Shi Yan's head as he was scared by the secrets Corpse Mount had told him.
Besides the Corpse, was there anything else as well? After all, how big were the effects the change of heaven and earth brought this time?
Shi Yan suddenly felt insecure. He begrudgingly felt everything was beyond his expectations.
"Benefactor, we have a place that you may be interested in." Corpse Sea suddenly said. He didn't stammer anymore.
"An interesting place?" Shi Yan arched his brows, secretly alert.
"You can come with us. That place's quite strange." Corpse Sea took the lead and flew towards the center of the Corpse God Sect.
"Benefactor, there's something that could help you," said Corpse Mount. Then he followed Corpse Sea.
Shi Yan was suspicious. He hesitated for a while, then flew towards the general direction of the Corpse God Sect.

Chapter 598: The Gold Giant
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
The headquarter of the Corpse God Sect was situated in the Cold Wind Island, which had the cold Yin Qi and the thick Corpse Qi, pretty suitable to refine corpses.
There was a narrow, long space slit in the South-West corner of the island. Light shot rapidly inside that crack, as an old, decaying aura of the Immemorial Epoch exuded from it.
Not far from the space slit were piles of giant white bones. Those bones looked as if they were made of white jade, crystal clear and as white as snow. Energy fluctuations rippled from them.
Hundreds of the newly formed members of the Corpse Clan were surrounding those bones, taking in the energy from them. They really enjoyed it.
Shi Yan glared, but he was jolted with fright inside his heart.
The shortest bone was around ten meters, and the longer ones were dozens of meters long. They looked like beautiful white jade. No one knew how long they had been there, but the energy still remained in the bones. This was unbelievable.
"The two of us have collected these bones from that place," Corpse Mount pointed at the space crack. "There are so many of them inside. All are massive. It took us a long time to mobilize those bones. The energy in these bones is useful to us. We can absorb it directly."
Shi Yan gave them a slight nod.
Each of those white bones had beams and flows of severe Yin aura. The Corpse Clan members could take it in and convert it into the Corpse Qi in their bodies.
Shi Yan looked at the space crack. He pondered for a while and then asked, "Can we go there directly?"
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea nodded, then got into the crack right in front of Shi Yan.
Shi Yan was amazed. He chuckled and then got in.
The sky there was blood-red. Many giant skeletons were scattered here and there. This space had many signs of furious battles.
A heavy aura pressed down from the sky, as imposing as a mountain. Under this intimidating pressure, Shi Yan couldn't fly up, as if some mysterious force was tying him down.
This was a strange space. Giant skeletons were everywhere. Most of them were disintegrated, with many ash-gray spots on them. There were no energy fluctuations coming from them.
There were some snow-white bones, which still had feeble energy fluctuations.
Walking in between the giant skeletons and looking at the dark red soil, which looked like dried bloodstains under his feet, Shi Yan was more astounded.
This was an ancient battlefield!
Most skeletons here were from demonic beasts. Shi Yan had walked for around one thousand meters before he saw a beast skeleton that was more than five hundred meters long. It looked like a small mountain.
That skeleton wasn't decayed yet. Even though he hadn't approached it, a strange, solemn pressure had slapped his face, which suffocated him.
"This skeleton has strong energy. Unfortunately, we can't move it. It's too heavy. We have tried to cut it, but we couldn't break it…" Corpse Mount smacked his tongue with a begrudging regret.
Shi Yan was struck.
This skeleton was five hundred meters long and around one hundred meters tall without flesh and blood. It only had the white bones, but it was intimidatingly giant. When it still had the flesh and everything else, Shi Yan wondered how imposing it used to be.
It was definitely a demonic beast skeleton. From this shape, he could confirm this fact. He walked through the skeleton, moving forward.
What level of beast it should be to have such a giant body like that? Level 9? Or level 10?
Shi Yan was in a confused state of mind. He realized that the situation here was beyond his knowledge.
All of a sudden, he stood dazedly at his spot. Looking at the neck of the skeleton, Shi Yan gawked and dropped his jaw, his face disbelieving.
The neck of this giant skeleton was as smooth as a mirror. A dragon skull was placed around ten meters in front of the neck part.
It seemed this mountain-like imposing dragon beast was beheaded by a sharp weapon…
Shi Yan's eyes were constantly sparkling, and his breathing was getting heavy. He walked around the beast's neck to observe, only to become more surprised.
Indeed, this giant dragon beast was beheaded within one strike. Someone had killed it instantly.
Coming to this conclusion, he was terrified. He didn't know what kind of formidable battles had taken place here, or what kind of existence it was that could have such earth-shaking powers…
God King?
Shi Yan beamed a forced smile.
"Ah!"
While he was still astounded, the Blood Vein Ring suddenly glowed. A five-colored light snatched over the neck of that dragon beast.
Shi Yan was shocked. He couldn't help but pull himself together and observe. He found a dried puddle on the dark red ground near that neck, as big as a door. It had a purple-red hue, a little bit viscous, with magical energy fluctuation.
When the rainbow light of the Blood Vein Ring shone on that puddle, a thought flashed in his head.
Blood Soul Divine Water... Broken demon crystal of a level 10 beast. The beast soul and its blood had blended to create this water. It was one of the primary materials to fuse heaven flames.
It was a clear thought and Shi Yan immediately got it. He shivered, almost sitting down on the ground.
Level 10 beast!
Since he had come to this world, the most dangerous demonic beast he had encountered was just a level 8. A level 10 demonic beast was a tremendous living being that could be compared to a God King, the scariest existence he knew.
As far as he had known, there was no level 10 beast existing in the Grace Mainland.
A level 10 beast was beheaded and died here in silence for so many years. At what level was the one who had killed this beast?
Shi Yan suddenly felt a chill running down his soul. Looking at this strange space, his hair rose.
If there was even one creature still alive, would he, Corpse Mount, and Corpse Sea leave this place alive? If that thing came out of this place and went to the Grace Mainland, would it be a great calamity?
While he was still making assumptions in fright, the Blood Vein Ring shot out a beam of energy light, which covered the Blood Soul Divine Water and stashed it away.
The Heaven Flame Divine Refining Technique required at least one thousand jin (500 kilograms) of Blood Soul Divine Water. This puddle wasn't more than ten jin. He still needed a lot to meet the refining requirement.
"If we continue to go further, there are more skeletons bigger than this one…" Corpse Sea muttered.
Shi Yan was like he got a bad hit. He trembled, turning around and shouting in a hoarse voice. "Bigger?"
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea nodded, speaking in unison. "Many."
Shi Yan was completely scared.
Long afterward, he took several deep breaths, pulling himself together. Next, he said with a grimaced expression. "Go. Goddamn it! Even if I have to die, we have to go there!"
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea led the way.
There were five more skeletons, which were more than five hundred meters long. They looked like the small mountains that were situated there forever. One of them was a beast skeleton that was one thousand meters long, and more than three hundred meters tall. Shi Yan gawked, dropping his jaw.
Shi Yan found the Blood Soul Divine Water near each skeleton. The Blood Vein Ring had collected around three hundred jin of the Blood Soul Divine Water.
This imposing scene had scared Shi Yan several times; afterward, he went numb. He collected the Blood Soul Divine Water along the way, entering deeper into this area.
All of a sudden, a big footprint appeared in his line of sight.
That footprint was bigger than him. It wasn't a beast's, but a human footprint. This footprint sank three meters deep into the ground, which looked too exaggerating.
Shi Yan walked over, accumulated energy, and punched the dark red ground fiercely.
BANG!
The red ground was a hard as iron. His punch just left a small scratch on the ground, and it couldn't make the ground concave.
Shi Yan was moved. He immediately knew that the ground under his feet was really rigid. Now, he could imagine the owner of the footprint that sank three meters deep to the ground.
"Ahead. He's ahead of us…" Corpse Mount softly reminded him with awe.
"Ahead?" Shi Yan changed his face. He halted, his face solemn. "What do you mean? You mean the owner of this footprint?"
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea nodded.
Shi Yan didn't answer. Light sparkled in his eyes. Long afterward, he asked, "Dead or alive?"
"Dead," Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea answered in unison.
Shi Yan exhaled in relief and then said imposingly, "Go. We should go check it out."
A dead man, no matter how tremendous he was when he was still alive, couldn't give more threats.
Shi Yan had crossed some other giant skeletons and collected a small amount of Blood Soul Divine Water. He and Corpse Mount, Corpse Sea ultimately arrived at a fractured mountain.
That mountain was several thousand meters high, but it was cut off. Its peak was as smooth as jade. Gold light sparkled, releasing waves of heavy aura.
Gold light and heavy aura didn't come from this mountain, but from a gold giant sitting neatly on the mountain.
Even if this giant were sitting, he was around ten meters tall. He didn't have blood or flesh, but a golden skeleton. That sparkling gold light came from his bones.
It was a complete skeleton. Each bone was as if made of gold jade, with gold energy rippling inside.
There was no soul fluctuation coming from this golden giant. A fist-sized gold bead was placed in the golden skull, which was covered with mysterious ancient scriptures. Faint energy waves undulated from the scriptures on the bead.
At first glance, that gold giant was covered in a gold halo, as though he was made of gold. A Heavy and ancient aura diffused from him.
Shi Yan stood at the mountain foot, facing up to look at the giant gold skeleton. He was frightened.
The Giant Clan!
Since he had known about the Giant Clan in the Antiquity Time, he had imagined how the people of the Giant Clan would look like. From this skeleton, he could picture what physique and power the Giant Clan's members had in that epoch.
Among the ten Antiquity Clans, the Giant Clan had the strongest physical build.
This race had a supernatural innate power. From the day they were born, they would start to train their bodies. They could break a mountain with their bare hands. The Giant Clan had the smallest population among the ten Antiquity Clans, but they were the strongest.
This giant skeleton had been sitting here for so many years.
His soul soon perished, but his energy ad still remained in his bones. If he were still alive, how strong he would be was something Shi Yan didn't dare to imagine.
Perhaps he had killed the formidable beasts in this space?
A thought crossed his head. Shi Yan was struck as he was panicked.
The Blood Soul Divine Water was condensed from blood and soul of level 10 beasts after ten thousand years of settlement. Being able to kill the level 10 beasts, he should be a God King Realm expert. Perhaps, he was at the Second or Third Sky of God King Realm!
This existence existed only in legends, which people had told each other through generations. They had never appeared in the Grace Mainland.
Looking at that sparkling gold skeleton and the strange gold bead, he knew he had found a treasure, but he was irritated – he didn't know how to take it.

Chapter 599: Wash the soul
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea stood next to him, looking at the gold giant in silence.
They had just received the Corpse Clan's inheritance not long ago; their knowledge of the Antiquity Time wasn't as much as Shi Yan. They didn't know of the importance behind this all, so they couldn't give him a useful reference.
Shi Yan scratched his head agitatedly. He forced a smile, looking at the gold giant in the peak and the mysterious gold bead, while his brain was working hard to find a method to take the bead.
Suddenly, he looked at the Blood Vein Ring on his finger, his eyes bright.
The Blood Vein Ring could convert the function of the Blood Soul Divine Water into waves of memory and impart it to him. Perhaps it could do the same to give him the related description of that gold giant and his bead.
With that thought, he quietly rose his arm, pointing the Blood Vein Ring to the gold skeleton. He gathered his soul and sent it to the ring. The Blood Vein Ring stayed quiet for a while. Suddenly, it shot out the rainbow light one more time, covering the gold skeleton and the bead.
"Golden Skeleton. A God King Realm member of the Giant Clan. Golden Soul Fluid – a rare treasure that can wash the host soul and purify it. It can increase sensibility…"
It was another wave of memory imprinted in his head to describe the origin and the features of the Golden Giant and the Golden Soul Fluid.
The so-called Golden Skeleton was the skeleton of the Giant Clan's members who had reached the God King Realm. The bones of their entire body changed into gold color, which came with the greatest prestige power.
The golden skeleton was the unique feature of the Giant Clan's clansmen at God King Realm. Experts at this realm, even if they were killed and their flesh was decomposed, their golden skeleton would not be decayed with time. After ten thousand years, it still kept the golden hue with strange energy waves.
The Golden Soul Fluid was an essence feature that the soul of the experts of the Giant Clan at this realm condensed after they were killed. The Giant Clan in the Antiquity Time was special. This Clan always held up justice. They were all generous and frank. No member of the Giant Clan had any wild schemes. They were all kind people, born to be good persons.
That's why God favored this race. The members of the Giant Clan could perceive the power of nature easier than the other races.
It was a little bit strange here. This clan had no members with a cunning heart. They were all honest. But when it came to the point they needed wisdom the most – the time of comprehending the Upanishad power – they had God's favor with this great superiority. In the Antiquity Time, the Giant Clan had just this reward from the High Heaven for upholding justice.
When the God King Realm experts of the Giant Clan perished, their soul would vanish into earth and heaven. However, their superiority in learning the power Upanishads could be condensed into a liquid form to be preserved.
It was the Golden Soul Fluid. This Golden Soul Fluid was used to purify the host soul. It could help a creature have the magical advantage of comprehending heaven and earth powers of the Giant Clan, which increased the speed of comprehending the meanings of the power.
Even if it were in the Antiquity Time, the Golden Soul Fluid was the treasure that everybody dreamed of, the thing that they could only meet by chance, the precious treasure of this world.
After the memory of the Golden Skeleton and the Golden Soul Fluid had moved for a while in Shi Yan's head, he got a deep understanding of the Giant Clan's features.
His eyes were bright, looking at the golden skeleton on the mountain peak. His breathing became heavy.
Hesitating for a while, he sat down cross-legged. He simply advised Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea, then tried to use the technique he had just received to collect the Golden Soul Fluid.
The Golden Soul Fluid was inside the Golden Bead, and he couldn't touch it directly with his hand or any treasure. Or else, it would vanish into thin air, returning to the heaven and earth.
He could only let his host soul enter the Golden Bead and wash it there to receive the special ability of the Giant Clan.
Before Shi Yan carried out this operation, he was a little bit hesitant. He then summoned the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, the Holy Spirit God, and the King of Demonic Insects, sending his thought to them before releasing his host soul.
The host soul left his Sea of Consciousness. A phantom of a tiny man slowly flew towards the Golden Soul Fluid on the mountain. The heavy pressure exuding from the Golden Skeleton seemed not to affect the host soul much. Shi Yan flew up, sensing the immense ancient aura. Shortly, he got to the skull of that golden skeleton. His host soul hovered for a while, then entered the Golden Bead.
A wonderful feeling flooded his soul…
His soul felt like it was sublimated. Layers of mist covered him. The Golden Soul Fluid had washed him, and his host soul became crystal clear magically. His sensitivity towards the heaven and earth power became more accurate. His understanding of the power Upanishads seemed to reach the most profound level of the real nature of his powers.
The host soul stayed inside the Golden Bead, and the Golden Soul Fluid soaked it and purified it. Shortly, his host soul received the magical comprehending ability.
However, whether it was his space power or the martial techniques, he needed a special situation to trigger them, which would give him an opportunity for a new time of comprehension.
At this moment, the Golden Soul Fluid had given him a magical comprehending ability, but he didn't have a chance to try it. Shi Yan felt very irritated. The magical ability the Golden Soul Fluid had given him had a limit. If it continued this way, he would be wasting his time and the effect of the Golden Soul Fluid.
The most important thing was that once the host soul got in there unless the Golden Soul Fluid was consumed completely, it couldn't get out easily.
He had to find something to comprehend!
All of a sudden, he remembered the Blacksmith's Secret of Success. In the wonderful space inside the Blacksmith's Secret of Success, there were many complex and profound formations, which hid the deep meanings of refining and forging weapons. After he had spent a long time there, he could perceive only the Teleportation Formation. Except for that, he didn't dare to try the other great refining treasure formations.
However, the situation he was in now was unique. If he couldn't find something to comprehend, he would waste the Golden Soul Fluid for nothing.
He didn't hesitate at all. He condensed a flow of Soul Consciousness, directly entering the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. It was inexplicably magical. The ancient formations he found so mysterious and complicated before suddenly became explicit. Spending a little time in an exquisite formation, he could get the basic features, structure, and the principles of the energy movement in that formation.
Abruptly, he found that the mysterious formations in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success were the application of special power Upanishads.
The refining process was to use the materials to carve the nature of a kind of force in earth and heaven and to perform the original power of that force.
He was overjoyed, his soul shivered as if he had found a treasure. He focused wholeheartedly, as though each formation was a good dish for his soul which he was enjoying.
There were dozens of formations in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. Each formation could be carved on a secret treasure to enhance its power. Some formations could gather heaven and earth spiritual Qi, while the others could use wind, lightning, or thunder to attack. There were also formations that could create illusions which people couldn't escape…
Besides countless formations, there were hundreds of forging methods with thousands of unique written techniques.
Each technique could enhance the formation or be used during the refining process to maximize the treasure's ability.
Secret treasures were classified into five grades, including Mortal, Mystery, Spirit, Sacred, and Divine. Each grade had other different seven ranks.
The Blacksmith's Secret of Success didn't have the techniques to refine Mortal, Mystery, and Spirit Grades treasures. It just had a simple description of these basic techniques. The techniques that were focused were to refine and forge Sacred Grade and Divine Grade secret treasures. It explained clearly how to collect souls, and how to add admixture to the treasures. It even had the technique to cultivate spirit and soul. The ranks of Sacred Grade and Divine Grade were introduced pretty clear. It had a complete description of the difference between different ranks and grades of secret treasures, and even the simple tricks to differentiate the Sacred Grade treasures and the Divine Grade treasures.
This book contained dozens of formations, hundreds of forging and refining methods, more than ten thousand written techniques, grades of secret treasures, different heating levels of flame used, small details in refining treasures, and what to pay attention to during a refining and forging process, etc.
All the knowledge which was related to a whole life of cultivation of a blacksmith was presented in this Blacksmith's Secrets of Success.
At this moment, Shi Yan finally understood that the old book of Blacksmith's Secrets of Success he had taken from a foreign land was the whole life essence of a Divine Grade Blacksmith.
He didn't know how time flew when he was in the book. He had used the Golden Soul Fluid to sink into the ocean of knowledge and comprehended the Upanishads of refining. He had made the refining methods into the deep marks in his head.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
The Blacksmith's Secrets of Success turned into smoke and dispersed, leaving no trace.
After a long while, Shi Yan's host soul flew out of the Golden Bead, returning to his body.
He was happy. Looking at the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success vanish, he didn't feel painful or sorrowful. He had a good grasp of the refining Upanishads of the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success. Of course, he understood that this book was a special treasure. It had demonstrated everything as a real space, which joined all sorts of formations. When someone had experienced every formation from the beginning to the end, the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success would disappear. The Blacksmith's Secrets of Success was the inheritance of a Divine Grade blacksmith, who had recorded his whole life experience of refining and forging secret treasures. When someone had the inheritance, the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success didn't need to exist anymore.
The Golden Bead inside the skull of the golden skeleton had turned into a dark brown hue, and the Golden Soul Fluid was drained.
Although Shi Yan had never forged a weapon, thanks to the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success, he was now a profound blacksmith, even more excellent than Ke Da's team in the Precious Tool Valley.
The inheritance that he got was a true textbook from a Divine Grade blacksmith. If he could gather enough materials, he could even refine divine weapons!
His vision had been widened after this experience. Looking at the beast skeletons scattered everywhere in this space, his breathing became short and heavy, while his eyes brightened.
There were treasures everywhere!

Chapter 600: Golden Marrow
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Scattered everywhere in this strange place were skeletons of formidable beasts. Each snow-white bone contained fluctuations of energy. Those bones could become the main material of secret treasures. He just needed to find some auxiliary materials and he could refine the treasures.
Shi Yan's eyes brightened as he was looking at so many giant beast skeletons from afar. Smile filled his face.
But the thing that made him more joyful was the Golden Marrow inside the Golden Skeleton of the giant. The Golden Marrow of the Golden Skeleton was the best potion to treat the body. Refining the Golden Marrow and then soaked in that liquid, a warrior could have the tenacious skeleton of the Golden Giant, which was a hard as iron or rock.
The reason why the golden skeleton had the golden hue was because of the Golden Marrow. However, it was mysteriously difficult to refine the Golden Marrow. And, it required a blazing flame at the same time.
Shi Yan had the Earth Flame, which was pretty suitable to refine the Golden Marrow from the bones.
He determined the method, then notified the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter. He asked Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea to stay while he was going to that broken mountain alone.
The soul of the Golden Skeleton on the mountain had scattered, but the pressure it released was still heavy.
He had to resist that pressure continually along the way to the mountain peak. When he had reached the foot of the skeleton, he realized he was so small. Compared to this giant man sitting neatly there, he was just like a reptile.
Shi Yan squinted to observe. He hauled out the Sky Destroyer and dug a ditch around the golden skeleton.
The rock of this mountain was hard. When his divine sword was working on it, clinks echoed.
Shortly, a round ditch was formed with his effort under the feet of the Golden Skeleton.
Closing his eyes and sensing the energy fluctuations inside the Golden Skeleton, Shi Yan was cheered up, his face joyful.
Shi Yan summoned the Earth Flame and pointed at the Golden Skeleton, sending it his thought. "Cover him. Burn him slowly to stimulate the Golden Marrow in his bones, then guide it to this ditch."
"Okay."
The Earth Flame replied. Next, it turned into many scarlet scorching flames like clouds tinged by the setting sun, enveloping that giant Golden Skeleton.
To the living beings like the Earth Flame, big volume didn't mean strong power. Their flame forms could resize according to the situation, but their power remained unchanged.
The Earth Flame's pure core power was a flame that was as big as a fist. However, if it wanted to release a furious fire, it could always expand its pure flame to a bigger and hotter form.
The scarlet flames looked like rolling lava. It had covered the entire Golden Skeleton with an intense heating aura.
Shi Yan put on a serious expression as he was gathering the power in his body. He was making different magical hand seals, which then turned into streaks of light, hitting on the Golden Skeleton.
To extract the Golden Marrow, besides the heaven flame, he needed to use a special method to soften the golden bones. If he hadn't had the wisdom of that Divine Grade blacksmith, he would never have reached this step. However, it was a piece of cake to him at this moment.
Thousands of strange symbols and scriptures turned into differently patterned halos, flying towards the Golden Skeleton.
After three days, a gold mist started to exude from the Golden Skeleton. Gold fluid began to move inside the bones and seep through the cracks, pouring into the ditch Shi Yan had dug beforehand.
The first drop of bright gold liquid fell into the ditch, carrying strange, magical energy fluctuations with it. The strange gold raindrop fell, and the ditch seemed like it was drilled through, revealing a small bored hole.
Shi Yan's eyes brightened, and the smile on his face widened. He put forth his efforts to strike more techniques.
A sole drop of the Golden Marrow could pierce through such rigid ground. Shi Yan immediately knew that the power of the Golden Marrow in this giant's Golden Skeleton was plenty.
The Earth Flame was constantly increasing its heating flame. With his assistance, it was burning the Golden Skeleton.
Drops of Golden Marrow seeped through the bone cracks unceasingly, falling into the ditch.
Not long afterward, a faint gold stream appeared in that ditch. At the same time, due to losing the Golden Marrow, the radiant golden bones gradually turned white-gray with dark spots. They seemed to be decaying quickly.
The energy of the Golden Marrow had maintained the glorious golden hue of the skeleton. Without the Golden Marrow, the skeleton of a member of the Giant Clan would reveal its original shape.
Shi Yan watched the Golden Marrow drops falling into the ditch with bright eyes, his heart dancing with joy.
Eventually, when all the Golden Marrow was refined from the skeleton of a member of the Giant Clan, the skeleton turned into a giant white-gray skeleton. The heavy pressure was gone. The skeleton sat there with a decayed posture, as if it was about to collapse at any minute.
Shi Yan watched it for a while. He frowned, then urged his energy to create a massive hand, lifting the white-gray skeleton and taking it to the mountain foot.
After it lost the Golden Marrow, the skeleton became lighter, so it didn't take much of his energy.
He used his mind to control the divine sword to dig a big grave near the mountain. He put this rusty skeleton into the tomb. Finally, this man could rest in peace. Since he had taken the Golden Soul Fluid and the Golden Marrow from this skeleton, he cherished and was thankful for that. That's why he buried it.
After Shi Yan had arranged the grave properly, he smiled, walking into that ditch which was filled with Golden Marrow.
He felt like he had fallen into a lava pond. The scorching gold energy pierced his skin like a sharp weapon. Shi Yan wasn't surprised. He focused and relaxed his spirit. His pores opened to absorb the Golden Marrow into his body.
The Golden Marrow entered his pores, murmuring in his bones. The blazing fluid was burning his bones like a fiery fire, causing him an extreme pain. He had to get through this phase. If he wanted to absorb the Golden Marrow into his entire body, he had to endure this pain.
Shi Yan understood that, so he had just clenched his teeth and endured. He was taking in more Golden Marrow through his pores, as the amount of the liquid in the ditch reduced.
Just like when he had entered this continent, he had determinedly walked into the Blood Pond, using the Blood Pond to transform.
A giant gold pupa enveloped him shortly. Now, he looked like a giant gold beetle which was about to eclose.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea looked up from the mountain foot. Later on, the two new members of the Corpse Clan finally recognized something. They hurried to get to the mountain peak and sank into that gold ditch.
At this moment, the amount of the Golden Marrow left wasn't much. They couldn't do anything more than laying down and rolling to get the Golden Marrow all over their bodies, enjoying it a lot.

Chapter 601: Refining secret treasures
Translator:Sigma_
Editor:Hitesh_
The color of the thick golden shell on Shi Yan's body faded away, and its light also dimmed out. Strange energy fluctuations rippled fiercely from the body covered in the golden shell. From time to time, they became more turbulent.
Boom!
The hard gold shell fragmented into small pieces, just like a torn sheet of fabric. It revealed Shi Yan, with the gold color body inside as if he were wearing glittering gold clothes, which looked both beautiful and dazzling.
While squinting, Shi Yan was really joyful. Gradually, he laughed out loud.
He used the Soul Consciousness to check his body. His bones were now golden, which were refined by the Golden Marrow, exactly the same as the Golden Skeleton.
Not only that, the Golden Marrow had flooded his flesh and vessels, turning into a strange gold energy that blended into his five main internal organs and the great eight meridians to nurture his body.
The reason why his body had the golden hue was because of the Petrification Martial Spirit. After the marrow washing process, Shi Yan's Petrification Martial Spirit had evolved one more time. Now, it was gold, and not red anymore.
In the Shi family, the Petrification Martial Spirit had four levels. In each level, the skin color would be different: ash-gray, dark-brown, yellowish-green, and purple-red.
Before that, when his martial spirit had changed, he had got the purple-red hue, which was considered entering the peak of the Shi family's Petrification Martial Spirit.
He thought that it was the final form, and his body wouldn't change furthermore.
However, he recognized that he was wrong, as his Petrification Martial Spirit had entered another level after the Golden Marrow washing and nurturing process. Now, his body was gold.
Closing his eyes, Shi Yan felt the changes of his body in silence. He didn't urge his thought, just relaxed his mind. The color of his body faded, returning to the original skin color.
However, when his nerves got tense, or his fighting will was triggered, his body, including blood and flesh, would turn gold. Each muscle of his would be filled with an immense life power. Each meridian would become strangely tenacious, which would accelerate the moving speed of Essence Qi. The muscles of his entire body would release a torrential gold energy, which was sharply irreversible.
The golden body that was washed and refined by the Golden Marrow obviously had a part of the Golden Giant's energy.
Shi Yan laughed contentedly as he was overjoyed.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea slowly got up from the ditch. Their whole bodies glistered with a golden hue. They had collected all the left Golden Marrow in the ditch. Now, they were using the secret techniques of the Corpse Clan to rebuild their bones.
Members of the Corpse Clan understood how to use the Five Elements powers well. After Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had taken the Golden Marrow of the Golden Giant, their physical strength had increased tremendously.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were sparkling with a golden hue. At the same time, their eyes showed an imposing and solemn divine aura. This surprised Shi Yan a lot.
They were the clansmen of the Corpse Clan, but they had the aura that only the Golden Giant had after taking in the Golden Marrow. It made them truly extraordinary.
Boundless prospects!
Shi Yan was shocked discreetly, giving them a compliment. He knew the two of them had received the Corpse Clan's inheritance. In the future, their world would be much wider.
His strange living beings, including the War Devil, the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm, all disappeared except for the War Devil.
While frowning, Shi Yan checked the mountain. He felt a greater surprise. Not long after that, his eyes showed his joy.
The Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm were strange demonic beasts. The Holy Spirit God wasn't a beast, but it had a body. To these strange creatures, the beast skeletons in this space were the best nutrients.
When demonic beasts reached level 9, even if it had died for ten thousand years and its body was all decayed, its energy still remained in the bones. Although it was feeble, this energy was scattering from time to time. If it were too long ago, this sort of energy would drain up.
However, the time of death of these skeletons in this space wasn't too long. Their bones still kept some energy.
Furthermore, there were level 10 beasts here!
At this level, ten thousand years wasn't enough to disperse the energy in the bones.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had taken the bones here to absorb the energy from them. The Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the Holy Spirit God were doing the same.
The four strange creatures scattered around. They found a giant beast skeleton each and took in the energy using different methods.
The white-jade, translucent bones were turning gray, as the energy inside was taken. After they had drained the energy out, those bones would turn into gray ashes immediately.
It seemed these four had started a long time ago. From the mountain, he could see four skeletons, which were hundreds of meters tall, about to be depleted.
At this speed, not long after that, those skeletons would become scraps, and they would have nothing else of value.
After watching for a while, Shi Yan contemplated and then plunged away from the mountain peak. He flew towards the dragon-shaped beast skeleton, the one that the four strange living beings hadn't laid their eyes on. This skeleton was completely preserved. It was still as beautiful as a masterpiece of white jade, shining with silver rays.
Swoosh!
The Earth Flame shot out from his palm, moving according to his thought. It fiercely tangled with the giant skeleton.
The Storage Ring flashed, as auxiliary materials flew out. Enhanced with different techniques, they were poured into the skeleton and melted together with the bones under the heat of the Earth Flame.
Bone Refining Technique was a popular refining treasure method. It used the good quality bones to be the main material. This technique didn't change the structure of the primary material, but purified it with the fiery flame. Then, the auxiliary materials were used to enhance the toughness and hardness of the bones, which directly turned the bones into a secret treasure.
Bone Refining Technique wouldn't change the original shape of the main material. The blacksmith only needed to carve the formation to enhance the firmness, and create a Yin and Yang Generating Formation to maintain and generate the energy of the bones. This step completed the treasure.
This refining method wasn't complicated, but it had a high requirement of the main materials. If the key material wasn't of good quality, even if the blacksmith added more auxiliary substances, he couldn't carve the formation.
That dragon skeleton was undoubtedly that of a level 10 beast. After so many years, it was still white as jade, even though the energy was worn out. This showed that the beast must have been a formidable one when it was still alive.
The skeleton of a level 10 beast was the absolutely perfect main material. With the Bone Refining Technique as the basis, Shi Yan was making many complex and ever-changing hand seals. Written charms were portrayed around that skeleton.
Crack Crack Crack!
Under the heat of the Earth Flame, the skeleton fractured gradually. Contaminants were separated. The skeleton started to shrink. The energy inside the bones started to flow out from the three thigh bones which were around hundreds of meters long.
Gathering and condensing the energy of the bones to the essence was the feature of the Bone Refining Technique.
He had condensed the energy of the seven-hundred-meters tall dragon skeleton using the Earth Flame and the auxiliary materials into three giant thighbones. After losing the energy, under the heat of the Earth Flame, the skeleton was burned into ashes, scattering away.
Shi Yan squinted, as a light flashed in his eyes. His Soul Consciousness moved like a saber, carving the formation on the three massive thighbones. His hands were moving, forming numerous hand seals.
Long afterward…
The hundreds-meter tall thighbones were shrunk to three meters. They looked like three spears with many complicated and mysterious scriptures covering the jade-like bone, which made the spears more exquisite, splendid, and pretty sharp.
He could see the delicate energy fibers perfectly moving inside the three long spears following the formations carved on them.
Shi Yan suddenly sat down neatly. His finger was placed on his glabella. The host soul flew out, entering the spears directly to mark his soul seal into the three spears. This helped him manipulate the spears as he pleased.
The three bones from the level 10 beast were as sharp as lightning strikes. When his mind flickered, they flew and drew sharp, cold curves in the air, which could frighten people easily.
Unfortunately, the beast' soul had long scattered. He couldn't take the soul to add into these Bone Thorns to give them intelligence. Without intelligence, the Bone Thorn couldn't become a Divine Grade treasure. At rank 3, it was good enough.
Three flows of his Soul Consciousness poured into the Bone Thorns as Shi Yan urged his Soul Consciousness with space power. The Bone Thorns disappeared instantly. After fifteen minutes, they could reappear a thousand miles away, as if they could teleport in just a blink.
Shi Yan cracked a smile and nodded silently.
"Come back!" He shouted. The three bones tore the space as rapidly as the. They appeared abruptly at the time he stopped thinking.
His finger pointed at the void, and the three bones turned into three white beams of light, disappearing into his Storage Ring. They became the first secret treasures that he had ever made. And, they were Sacred Grade treasures.
At this moment, he got to know that warriors in Antiquity Time all knew how to refine and forge weapons. God Realm warriors could even use their host soul as the mediator to refine the Divine Grade weapon of their lives.
The life weapon and its master were interlinked mentally, and its power would be tremendous. If the life weapon were damaged, the master would be wounded the same. However, the life weapon brought up a great advantage. Together with the master's increasing realm, it could also improve its quality and power.
During that epoch, the life weapon was the most precious asset of a warrior, even more important than his wife.
The three Bone Thorns that he had created using the Bone Refining Technique weren't divine weapons, and they couldn't be his life divine weapons. Also, their power didn't reach that level, and they wouldn't bind with him either.
He put the three Bone Thorns away and took another round around this space. However, he couldn't find more suitable materials. Energy in the skeletons of some level 7 or level 8 demonic beasts was almost drained off. They didn't have a high value to him.
The Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the Holy Spirit God had occupied the valuable skeletons, absorbing the energy with joy.
While he was waiting begrudgingly, Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea descended from the broken mountain. The two of them said before they had even reached near him, "Somebody is breaking into our territory."

Chapter 602: Ghost Hunter breaks through!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
"Breaking in your territory? Out there?" Shi Yan was surprised.
He knew that Corpse Mount and Corpse could use their souls to contact the members of the Corpse Clan out there and report the situation quickly. Anyway, at this time, the forces in the Endless Sea were all well-behaved, and Qing Ming was dead. Logically, there shouldn't be anyone who dared to provoke the Cold Wind Island.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea nodded, as a malicious light sparkled in their deep green eyes. Obviously, they were enraged.
The essence of the Golden Marrow had absorbed into their bones, which made these two members of the Corpse Clan extremely robust and tenacious. Perhaps, when they joined hands, even a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior couldn't defeat them.
"We should check it out," Shi Yan pondered. At first, he sent his thought to the Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, and King of Demonic Insects to ask them to stay here and absorb more energy from the skeletons. Then, he left with the War Devil.
The sharp wind howled through the Cold Wind Island. Corpses piled up like mountain ranges. Many clansmen of the Corpse Clan, who obviously had wisdom, had the emotional light that only high-grade races could have in their eyes.
Two members of the Corpse Clan wearing ash-gray armor came out from the crowd. They came and greeted Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea with great respect. Then, they used their own language to report Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea.
"The Cao family," The ever-pale face of Corpse Mount was surprised for a while. He looked at the South-West direction of the Cold Wind Island. "Let's go there and check."
Shi Yan didn't have any opinion, and he was suspicious too. He had no clue why members of the Cao family came here.
When Shi Yan, Corpse Mount, and Corpse Sea stood firmly on a burial area in the South-West of the Cold Wind Island, they had their faces changed as their fright grew bigger in their hearts.
Cao Qiu Dao, Cao Zhi Lan, Queen of Heaven Fan Xiang Yun, Man Gu…
Many outstanding warriors of the Tuta Sea appeared together at this burial area. However, their distressed appearances made Shi Yan curious. Even Cao Qiu Dao looked a bit miserable as if he had fought with a big enemy.
Man Gu and Fan Xiang Yun had a glum expression. There was no bright light in their eyes, and they looked miserable. Shi Yan didn't know what they had suffered.
After they saw Shi Yan, they were even more shocked than him. All of them screamed in awe.
Cao Zhi Lan's beautiful eyes brightened, but then dimmed out as if she had remembered something, her face longing.
Cao Qiu Dao was frank. He took a deep breath, frowned, then said solemnly, "We just passed by, and we wanted to notify you that you should leave. Currently, the Endless Sea…"
"What did you say?" Shi Yan shuddered. He knew something earth-shaken had happened. "What happened?"
"Dark Clan's hotshots from the Seven-layered Underworld and the Demon Area have invaded the Endless Sea again. Besides your Kyara Sea, human forces in the other seas have been invaded…"
Cao Qiu Dao was bitter. His complexion was lonely and grim. He shook his head and then sighed.
Shi Yan discolored as he shouted, "How could it be?"
"You've been here for more than one year. Of course, you didn't know the situation out there." Cao Qiu Dao was quite sad. "One year ago, you killed Qing Ming. Then, you entered the Cold Wind Island. During one year, storms have raged over the Endless Sea again. The Dark Clan and the Demon Clan have invaded us one more time. They are stronger than the previous time. In the Endless Sea, no one can resist them."
"No one can resist them? Even you?" Shi Yan was frightened.
"Whether they are the Dark Clan or the Demon Clan, they all have True God Realm experts. You say if I can deal with them or not." Cao Qiu Dao grimaced. "The Tuta Sea's over. The Yin Yang Fairyland and the Desolate Barbarian School are almost eradicated. Except for us here, the members of the Cao family have all perished. I basically don't have the power to overturn this."
Cao Zhi Lan's pretty face was covered with tears. She trembled gently as she was utterly heartbroken.
The Queen of Heaven Fan Xiang Yun, who was always charming, was now paled with grief. She clenched her teeth as her eyes were filled with a sinister light. Man Gu's expression was wild and brutal, as though he was an imprisoned beast who wanted to bite everybody. His eyes were congested.
Shi Yan was startled.
He didn't realize that he had spent over one year in that strange space with the beast skeletons. The Endless Sea had such a big change, which was beyond his estimation.
It was his luck that he had completed the Teleport connecting the Yang family and the Radiant God Cult…
This made him relax his tense nerves a little bit. He knew that with the Teleportation Formation, when the Yang family sensed the situation wasn't going well, they would mobilize the core generation to the Radiant God Cult in the Divine Great Land.
The Radiant God Cult had Yun Hao, a True God Realm warrior, to guard the place. The seven old factions in the Divine Great Land all had such intimidating existences; they even had the divine weapons. When these strong forces joined hands, the Divine Great Land shouldn't meet unexpected things shortly.
As long as the Yang family was safe, he didn't need to be worried much. "I haven't been out for one year, so I'm not clear about the whole picture of the Endless Sea. Precursor Cao, could you please explain in detail?"
He didn't have a good feeling towards Cao Qiu Dao. This old man was sinister, and the members of the Cao family had aimed at him many times. Cao Zhi Lan's heart was as menacing as a viper. He had received a lot of bitter fruits from them. Today, seeing their misfortune, Shi Yan felt a little bit pleased.
"Alright," Cao Qiu Dao didn't hesitate and frankly told him what had happened during this year in detail.
Due to the great change in the world, the Heaven Gates connected the Seven-layered Underworld and the Fourth Demon Area were broken. People from the three areas could enter the other area through the space channel. When it first happened, warriors of the Endless Sea thought it was a lucky chance. They had organized many troops to get into the two other worlds to collect cultivating materials.
However, they knew they were wrong shortly.
They found that the Fourth Demon Area had Demon Clan's hotshot, who was stronger than the Spirit Realm! They discovered that Abi, Dark Sky, and Hades, the three great Yama Kings, had all entered the True God Realm!
When their news reached the Endless Sea, all forces there were startled. However, the other didn't wait for them to find a countermeasure. Hotshots of the Dark Clan led by Abi, Dark Sky, and Hades descended on the Endless Sea for the second time.
Abi, Hades, and Dark Sky, the three Yama Kings had reached the True God Realm. In the Endless Sea, no one could resist them.
Each of the three great Yama Kings was in charge of one Sea. They carried out invasion the Tuta Sea, the Yuan Luo Sea, and the Dark Water Territory. People in these three sea areas had fallen into misery. Human warriors were almost uprooted.
At the same time, experts of the Demon Clan had also entered the Kyara Sea and the Vault of Heaven Sea. The Yang family had soon prepared. They sent their core disciples away. The Yang family didn't suffer a significant loss. Tang Yuan Nan of the Three Gods Sect had received the request from Yang Tian Emperor, so he had moved his disciples to the Radiant God Cult before. All had escaped this calamity.
However, because the Martial Spirit Palace and the Penglai Holy Land in the Vault of Heaven Sea didn't have the Teleport Formation to leave, they no longer existed. Yang Yi Tian, the Master of the Spirit Martial, who was at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, was killed by a True God Realm expert of the Demon Clan. The Penglai Holy Land was eradicated.
It was just one year, but the human forces around the Endless Sea were all crushed, just like people breaking dried branches. Besides the Yang family and the Three Gods Sect, almost all forces were destroyed.
Cao Qiu Dao's force was at the end of the escape road. Since they knew the Corpse God Sect had a special space slit, they ran to this place to find shelter in that space slit. They hoped to escape the pursuit of Yama King Hades, who was in charge of the Tuta Sea.
"It has not been easy for you to survive until now," Shi Yan mused for a while. He smiled, but his eyes didn't smile. "Too bad, your fortune isn't good enough…"
"Why do you say that?" Cao Qiu Dao was trembling, but he was still calm.
"The area that space slit leads to isn't big enough. Moreover, it's a dead area. You can't go there." Shi Yan laughed evilly. "In other words, if you get there, you will be like a fish in the tank. You will never have the second chance to run away."
At this point, those human experts all felt disappointed. They sighed as they thought that their lives had come to an end.
"We still want to go there and check," Cao Qiu Dao was persistent.
Shi Yan smiled and shook his head. "I'm sorry. This place doesn't belong to you guys. You should return to where you came from.
Cao Qiu Dao was enraged. "Shi Yan, I don't want to mess with you. We want to live! Don't force me!"
"Cao Qiu Dao, honestly, you don't have the power that I have to be afraid of." Shi Yan didn't take notice of Cao Qiu Dao's threat. He smiled faintly, calling the Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God. While waiting for them, he said neither slowly nor fast. "If you want to die, actually, you don't need to wait for Yama King Hades. I can help you with it."
Cao Qiu Dao turned his head. With only one glance, his face turned the color of the soil.
ROAR!
A raging roar soared up into the sky from the Ghost Hunter. Its murderous, ruthless aura had triggered the energy of earth and heaven. Clusters of cloud that were filled with a murderous aura gathered above the Cold Wind Island, covering the light from the sun, moon, and stars. It created a tremendous pressure on everybody.
Low-realm warriors like Cao Zhi Land paled. They were shivering, as a helpless feeling rose from deep inside their souls.
Even Cao Qiu Dao was frightened, his eyes dull.
Shi Yan was amazed, too. He looked at the Ghost Hunter and found that this monster had a halo that looked like silvery liquid lingering on its body. On its fierce face, an incomparably evil red pair of eyes sparkled with brutal, murderous intents.
The aura of the Ghost Hunter was like a range of mountains that people couldn't reach, giving people an inexplicable subduing feeling that could even oppress the souls.
Level 9 beast!
At first glance, Shi Yan knew that the Ghost Hunter had broken through to a brand new realm.
"Master, I'm Ghost Hunter. Do you need me to kill all of them?" The Ghost Hunter sauntered towards him. Its ferocious face slowly changed, while the thorns had retreated into its body.
He still strolled towards Shi Yan. However, before he'd reached him, he had turned into a young man with a garnet pair of eyes. His bearing was strange and evil. The physique of this young man was sharp and truncate. His delicate, handsome face could dazzle many women. Although he had attractive features outlined by silver clothes, he still had a faint scent of blood.
Shi Yan was stunned like a wooden rooster.

Chapter 603: The Race Catastrophe
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
"Do you want me to kill all of them?"
The Ghost Hunter talked to him softly, without any emotions. He made it look like killing Cao Qiu Dao's group wasn't harder than smashing an ant. His face was like he didn't put them into his eyes.
However, Cao Qiu Dao, Cao Zhi Lan, and Queen of Heaven Fan Xiang Yun felt as if they had fallen into an ice chamber. Even their souls felt chilled.
The Ghost Hunter had reached level 9!
At this level, the beast was as strong as a human True God Realm expert. Only with their physical strength, they could move the mountain or level the sea. Not only they had the wisdom, but also the innate supernatural powers, which made they more dangerous than a new True God Realm warrior.
The good-looking face of the Ghost Hunter exposed his cold and brutal aura. Looking his red-blood eyes, people knew right away he wasn't a good person.
The Ghost Hunter had just broken through a new realm, so he really wanted to try his new abilities. He wanted to use Cao Qiu Dao to test his new strength.
Shi Yan squinted as he cracked a forced smile. "You… I didn't think that you could break through that fast. You're such an alien."
The Ghost Hunter's level up speed was much faster than his. Shi Yan still remembered the first time he saw the Ghost Hunter. At that time, this beast was just a level 6 beast. It had been just a few years, and the Ghost Hunter had entered level 9, a high rank of demonic beasts. The power of this level wouldn't be less than his.
Shi Yan's smile bloomed as he was giving the beast compliments in his heart. He squinted and looked at Cao Qiu Dao's group.
Under his scrutinizing look, Cao Qiu Dao, Fan Xiang Yun, and the others kept their mouths shut. They had reached the Spirit Realm, but they were begrudging at this moment, as they regretted turning their back on Shi Yan that year.
The one who had the biggest regret was Cao Zhi Lan…
That year, she had favored Shi Yan's potential a lot, so she did want to create a good relationship with him. When his martial spirit got mutated and he was hurt by Chi Yan, she thought that Shi Yan's future had ended from here. That's why she had changed her attitude.
If she could be more persistent, she would have found that Shi Yan's potential wasn't something she could predict.
Unfortunately, one wrong move would make for a lifetime of regret. She was always confident that she was wise with eyes like the torch. But her deeds planned on Shi Yan had affected the Cao family.
'If, If I had endured, and I still stood next to him, perhaps the Cao family would have stepped in the Divine Great Land now.' Cao Zhi Lan was sad, tears lingering in her eyes.
"Do you still want to provoke me?" Shi Yan curled his lips, smiling quietly. He waved his hand nonchalantly. "I don't want to do anything with you guys. You should return to where you come from."
With the power and the position he had now, if he wanted to humiliate Cao Zhi Lan, he could do as he pleased. Cao Qiu Dao, because of the general picture, wouldn't dare to protest against him.
However, as his vision was wider, he wasn't as narrow-minded as before. At this moment, the pagans were raging all over the Endless Sea. Human warriors fell everywhere. Even Yang Yi Tian was killed. The hotshots remaining included only Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun.
Anyway, they were all human. In this calamity, they shouldn't develop grudges against each other.
"We aren't provoking," Cao Qiu Dao took a deep breath, his face grim. "Shi Yan, we just want to live, a difficult dream at this moment. If you could help us, we agree to give you everything."
"Everything?" Shi Yan frowned. His eyes sparkled coldly. "What do you have to give? To me, all of you aren't worth my help."
"Shi Yan, it's all my fault. I beg you to help us." All of a sudden, Cao Zhi Lan stepped forward. In front of everybody, she kneeled down. Her white neck craned as she was whining. "As long as you save the Cao family from this calamity, I'm willing to receive any punishment."
"Little Lan!"
Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun screamed in unison. They hurried to lift her up.
However, she was so stubborn. She kneeled down, tearing rolling on her face. She was looking at Shi Yan with yearning and begging intentions in her eyes.
"Don't beg him!" Cao Qiu Dao was indignant, thundering. "Our Cao family has stood firm in the Endless Sea for thousands of years. It's not easy to uproot us all. We will definitely have a chance to live.
"No, it's different this time… It's different…" Cao Zhi Lan scooped and cried. "No one can help us this time. They are… They are so strong. Yang Yi Tian and Gu Xiao are dead. One by one, they both died. The Endless Sea is now hell on Earth. If we don't leave, we can't survive."
Cao Zhi Lan was grim and mournful.
Fan Xiang Yun intended to advise Cao Zhi Lan, but having heard her say so, she just sighed, shaking her head and not saying anything. She then turned to Shi Yan, her eyes begging.
"Shi Yan, if you are a man, don't be arrogant!" Man Gu shouted. "If you can save us, my life will belong to you! No matter what you want to do to me, kill me or hit me, you can do anything!"
Shi Yan was surprised.
Swinging his hand to signal everybody to calm down, he closed his eyes and released his Soul Consciousness to survey the entire Tuta Sea.
The Soul Consciousness with space power glided rapidly above the Tuta Sea like lightning. Images of numerous islets there were sent to his Sea of Consciousness like stars in the sky. He received the direct-view situation of the Tuta Sea.
The Tuta Sea had many islets. Under his Soul Consciousness surveying, he saw all the inhabited islands ruined and burned down. Columns of black smoke appeared on some islets as the houses were all burned.
The vast jungle was charred in a sea of fire. Countless spiritual mountains and lakes were gray and desolate.
Creatures were living in misery everywhere his Soul Consciousness had passed by. This picture was like hell on Earth. Civilians became slaves, as the warriors of the Underworld drove them like a herd of sheep towards the Underworld boundary.
Against the human warriors with relatively high cultivation base, the hotshots of the Underworld had used some mysterious treasures to force their vitality and Essence Qi out of their bodies. Their deaths were tragic as, all of them had turned into withered corpses.
At the main base of the Yin Yang Fairyland and the Desolate Barbarian School, warrior corpses flooded the place. Many blood-dripping skulls were kept around the small island, as if bragging about their bloody and imposing triumph.
...
Many unbearable footages were sent to him through the Soul Consciousness, projecting on his Sea of Consciousness.
He was a coldhearted man, and he didn't want to interfere. However, when his mind opened, his calm face started to become indignant and brutal.
So cruel!
The race war made genocide their goal. Getting the images of those terrible operations, Shi Yan, a cold-hearted man, couldn't help but let the anger inflame him.
"You don't need to be enraged. No matter which epoch it is, the war between races is always merciless and ruthless." The Ice Cold Flame sent its soul fluctuations from the Blood Vein Ring. "As far as I've known, to get the ruling position, mankind had done the same to the other races no matter it was the Dark Clan, the Dark Spirit Clan, or the Ghost Mark Clan. That's why they had a deep resentment to mankind. It wasn't something unreasonable…"
Shi Yan's face darkened. He nodded quietly as he had accepted what the Ice Cold Flame had told him. But it didn't mean he approved and would let the situation develop furthermore.
The situation was like this in the Tuta Sea. Perhaps, it was the same bloody scenes in the other sea areas in the Endless Sea.
Musing for a while, he took a deep breath, then talked to Cao Qiu Dao, "From now on, all of you will join the Yang family. I'm going to help you get out of this place. I'll try my best to protect you and not to let you suffer from genocide."
"Join your Yang family?" Fan Xiang Yun was stunned.
"We can!" Cao Qiu Dao was frank enough. He agreed curtly and turned around to talk to Fan Xiang Yun. "At this moment, the Cao family and the Ying Yang Fairyland only have the name left. In fact, we don't have anything left. The Endless Sea is now in chaos. I think the other places should be the same. We should gather the human forces. We should join hands to resist this genocide catastrophe. It's the duty we can't deny."
Fan Xiang Yun was struck. Her eyes brightened as she gritted her teeth and said vehemently. "As long as we can kill these pagans, I will do anything I'm told!"
"What's the deal?" asked Cao Qiu Dao immediately.
Shaking his head, Shi Yan darkened his visage. "We don't need any deal. As long as I'm strong enough to subdue you, I think you know what to do. If you are getting stronger one day, our agreement has nothing powerful to bind you."
Having experienced so many things, he had soon known that strong power was more important than anything else. Without power, the so-called agreement was even thinner than the hymen, which could be pierced through with just one poke.
"Alright!" Cao Qiu Dao nodded.
Shi Yan didn't say anything else. He nodded to the Ghost Hunter and sent his thought to the other strange creatures to tell them to get back to that special space.
There were many skeletons with available energy in that space. No matter it was the Ghost Hunter, the King of Demonic Insects, or the Devouring Gold Silkworm, they could use this sort of energy to enhance their strength. That's why Shi Yan gave them more time.
"I don't need it anymore. Just let them go," said the Ghost Hunter with an emotionless countenance. His garnet eyes glared at the Devouring Gold Silkworm, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God.
Of course, these three monsters obeyed Shi Yan a lot. They got back to the space slit once again.
Shi Yan beamed a forced smile. He thought for a while and then said, "As things have come to this, perhaps the Teleport in the Yang family is broken. Yeah, I need to build another one."
"Teleportation Formation? Where does it lead to?" Cao Qiu Dao's eyes brightened.
"To the Divine Great Land."
Cao Qiu Dao, Queen of Heaven Fan Xiang Yun, and the others got stirred up, as if they were about to have a new life. They glowed happily.
"First, you need to defend all directions. I'm going to build the Teleportation Formation." Shi Yan assigned the Ghost Hunter then talked to Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun. "I need many auxiliary materials. I thought you guys must have them. I'm going to tell you the names of the required materials. You should get them for me."
"No problem."
The two were frank and generous. They nodded, took out the Storage Rings on their fingers, and sent their Soul Consciousness into them to sort out their cultivating materials while waiting for Shi Yan's order.

Chapter 604: Dark Sea overflows
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
The Cao family and the Yin Yang Fairyland were one of the strongest, oldest forces of the Endless Sea. Through thousands of years, the assets they had accumulated could stun people.
Shi Yan told them the auxiliary materials needed to build a Teleportation Formation. Cao Qiu Dao and Queen of Heaven Fan Xiang Yun nodded immediately, which told him that they had all the materials he required.
The materials that were scarce in the Divine Great Land seemed not strange to Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun. When Shi Yan said the names, they could take the exact materials from the Storage Ring.
When they left their families, they had stashed the properties their families had collected for thousands of years into different Storage Rings. There were more than ten Storage Rings with different colors on Cao Qiu Dao's and Fan Xiang Yun's fingers. Shi Yan was quite amazed.
To be able to build the Teleportation Formation as quickly as possible, it seemed these two people didn't want to hold anything back.
Shi Yan was astounded. As his thought flickered, he couldn't help but tell them the names of some other materials.
The Heaven Flame Refining Devine Technique required a huge amount of auxiliary materials. As he was worried about how to collect them, seeing Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun, the two filthy rich people, he didn't want to be polite by not asking them for the required materials that he lacked.
Thus, Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun couldn't bear it; their faces became grimaced.
The Heaven Flame Refining Devine Technique was a strange method to refine the heaven flames that needed many different types of materials, of which, some were never seen before. Their names could be seen only in some ancient books.
Fan Xiang Yun and Cao Qiu Dao had a broad knowledge, and their families were much stronger than the other small forces in the Divine Great Land. However, they had never heard about many materials Shi Yan had asked them. Light dimmed in their eyes.
They started to worry.
They thought that those auxiliary materials were all needed to build the Teleportation Formation. As they didn't have enough materials, their faces became glum.
Shi Yan was actually astounded.
When he told them the materials that needed for the Heaven Flame Refining Divine Technique, he didn't think that they could have any of them. However, it turned over his expectation. These two had some mysterious materials that he didn't know how to find.
This thrilled him.
"Don't worry. We have the other way around to make up for the missing materials," Shi Yan comforted them. "I have something, too. If you don't have them, I can lend you some. I'm sure you can leave the Endless Sea. Don't worry."
Shi Yan smiled, his mood was good. He took all the cultivating materials that were piled up on the ground.
Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun were the freaks who had lived for more than one hundred years. Of course, it was hard to deceive them. They had observed for a while, and immediately knew Shi Yan had seized the chance to rob them.
Naturally, they wouldn't say anything, as they could ease they minds now. As long as he could build the Teleportation Formation, even if Shi Yan had tricked them to take some more materials, they could let it go.
"I'm going to carry it out. You guys should protect me during the process. Yeah, except for the time when I carve the formation, you can take rest. Don't worry too much." Shi Yan smiled until his eyes narrowed. After he had taken the materials, he started to keep himself busy, not noticing the others.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were standing next to him. Before he started his work, they discussed with him for a while.
Right after that, Corpse Mount, Corpse Sea, and a crowd of the newly formed members of the Corpse Clan followed the Devouring Gold Silkworm and the King of Demonic Insects to that mysterious space. The energy in the skeleton there was pretty useful for them to increase their powers.
That space had many jade-like bones that they could absorb energy from. To Shi Yan, this sort of material didn't have much value. However, to the members of the Corpse Clan, it was the energy that could enlighten them. It would help them gain intellect sooner.
Everybody was busy with their own stuff.
Ghost Hunter and Cao Qiu Dao's team were patrolling around. Shi Yan focused on creating a new Teleportation Formation. Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were taking their clansmen to take the energy from the bones.
Time flew by. It had been five days.
That day, in the immense light, the Ghost Hunter howled. His whistle stormed out violently, raising big waves on the sea in front of them.
Cao Qiu Dao and the others were startled. They knew something was going to happen. Then, they hurried to gather near Shi Yan.
Covering himself with a strange halo inside a round structure around hundreds of meters squared, Shi Yan was using the Earth Flame to refine the materials. The Ghost Hunter's whistle had awakened him.
His Soul Consciousness moved as Shi Yan retrieved a glorious piece of silver jade. He frowned, looking at the thick cloud in front of him.
Dark Clan's hotshots.
In the cold, evil Dark Qi, Dark Dwellers were floating around. They all looked thin, their eyes sinister. Each Dark Dweller was slender, wearing a dark armor. Their hair and skin were silver, gray, or garnet.
A Dark Clan's expert standing in the front was around two meters tall, but he was as thin as a stick. He was holding a bronze mirror, his face indifferent. He had a distinctive aura of the True God Realm warriors, which led to the change of heaven and earth's aura around him.
Yama King Hades, one of the three great warriors of the Underworld, was the one in charge of clearing the Tuta Sea.
Standing behind Yama King Hades were three Third Sky of Spirit Realm experts. They were all middle-aged, their faces were brutal and vicious. A malicious light sparkled from their eyes.
"Cao Qiu Dao, wind has changed. The Tuta Sea will never be under your Cao family's control again." Yama King Hades was standing in a dark cloud, talking arrogantly.
Above his head, sunlight and moonlight seemed to be covered, such that they couldn't shine on the ground. Only the stars could be seen twinkling from time to time.
"Hades..."
The one who had answered him wasn't Cao Qiu Dao, it was the Ghost Hunter. He was floating up from the Cold Wind Island. This beast now looked like a young, heartless man. The curves of his mouth were both cold and sharp like a saber. His eyes were garnet, while he was exuding the distinctive aura of the Underworld.
"It's you!"
Hades had soon realized something abnormal in the Cold Wind Island. But he didn't expect that what made him anxious was the Ghost Hunter.
He knew the Ghost Hunter's profile well. The Ghost Hunter was the hybrid of the two imposing demonic beasts of the Underworld and the Demon Area. He had both Dark Qi and Demon Qi in his body. He could be considered the most inexplicably magical creature in the universe. His birth had astounded them a lot.
"Yeah," the Ghost Hunter was always cold. "You should leave. This place isn't the place you can control. My Master's here. You won't take the things you want."
"Master?" Hades laughed fiendishly. "An intimidating beast like you is willing to take a disgusting human your Master? Ghost Hunter, you are the most inexplicable living being in this world! Chi Yan, Bo Xun, and we had always treated you as our friend. We didn't want to enslave you. He's just a lowly human. Is he worth your life?"
"Don't babble. There's something I can't explain clearly. But I know that being with him benefits my future a lot." The Ghost Hunter wasn't moved but answered honestly.
"Future?" Hades mocked, "Do you think he still has a future? Muahaha. I'm here today. Well, as long as they're human, they have to die all. What future does he have?"
Swoosh Swoosh!
Two clear sounds of things crossing through space echoed from the space crack not far from there. Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea appeared together, standing next to Ghost Hunter.
"It's you!" Hades suddenly got enraged. He pointed furiously at Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea. "Due to the change of heaven and earth, you should have received the inheritance already. You know what had happened, right? You are the intimidating Corpse Clan, the high-grade creatures like our Dark Clan! We should walk the same road. You two, are you going to protect this low human? Do you know what you are doing?"
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea didn't change as much as the Ghost Hunter. They were too lazy to answer. They stood still and didn't move, but their attitude was clear.
"Good! Good! Good!" Hades was furious like a bloodthirsty beast. His eyes were sinister and evil as he said with a hoarse, cold voice, "If you are persistent, don't blame me for killing you all. Befriending humans is your humiliation! You have no right to live in this world anymore, so that the other high-grade races won't laugh on your faces!"
The bronze mirror in his hand struck out, as the Dark Sea of the Underworld appeared in the mirror. The seawater torrentially rose from the bronze mirror, covering the entire Cold Wind Island.
The water of the Dark Sea was the original fountain that gave birth and nurtured the Dark Dwellers. It was the symbol of power.
Each member of the Dark Clan, after soaking the body into the Dark Sea, would have their power enhanced. Then, they could perform many secret techniques of the Dark Clan.
However, this seawater was the most poisonous toxin to the other races.
The Dark Sea water could drag the soul of the other races members in for a short time. As long as the creature was soaked into the water, the waves would drag their soul out of the body. Then, the soul would lose its memory and consciousness. Eventually, it would become a primitive resentful spirit of the Underworld.
After the three Yama Kings Abi, Hades, and Dark Sky were hurt severely in the Endless Sea, Yang Tian Emperor, and Cao Qiu Dao didn't dare to attack the Underworld because of the Dark Sea in the Underworld.
The Dark Sea was strange and evil. There was no method to eliminate the sea's effect on souls. If the Dark Sea seawater touched the warriors a little bit, their souls would lose a part of memory.
The bronze mirror in Yama King Hades wasn't a strong treasure, but it could draw the seawater of the Dark Sea, which was terribly intimidating.
If the Dark Sea of the Underworld flooded the Endless Sea, human warriors there would be erased, leaving no trace. They didn't need a single battle to get what they wanted.
The torrential waves of the Dark Sea furiously gushed out from the bronze mirror, pouring on the Cold Wind Island. Shortly, the Cold Wind Island was flooded with the Dark Sea's water.
All creatures, no matter they were human, demonic beasts, or the members of the Corpse Clan like Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea, were releasing different types of halo and light cages to separate their bodies from the seawater.
"No use. You can't endure for a long time. And me, I have plenty of free time." Hades laughed contentedly.

Chapter 605: Underworld God Sacrifice
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Yama King Hades wasn't hurried. He led a group of Dark Clan's experts, hiding in the thick dark clouds of the Underworld. They were enjoying the Dark Qi of the Dark Sea while waiting for the opponent to be weakened.
As long as the creature had a soul, the Dark Sea water would drain its soul power, and it couldn't resist for a long time.
Human warriors like Cao Qiu Dao and Queen of Heaven Fan Xiang Yun had used their Essence Qi to create different colored light balls, covering their bodies to prevent the Dark Sea water from touching them.
As Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun had reached the Spirit Realm, countering the soul erosion wasn't too difficult. However, Cao Zhi Lan and Man Gu were struggling hard. Under the erosive effect of the Dark Sea, their souls fell into the endless darkness, their consciousness blurry.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were also a kind of creature. Even though they were the clansmen of the Corpse Clan, the Dark Sea could still affect them.
Fortunately, these two had a strong physique, and they were good at using the Five Elements power. They had urged the Earth power to create a thick soil wall to shield them. The seawater couldn't touch them.
Shi Yan was using the same method as Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea.
Seeing the experts of the Underworld, Shi Yan wasn't anxious. He was still staying inside the center of the giant formation to build the Teleportation Formation. He was gently whetting the exquisite, magical formation, pouring his Soul Consciousness, winding around the shape of the formation that was getting more perfect over time.
The copious Dark Sea water swarmed over, covering him. However, Shi Yan wasn't affected even though he was soaked in the seawater. He was still working on his formation.
Yama King Hades came here for Cao Qiu Dao's group. However, after he found Ghost Hunter, Corpse Mount, and Corpse Sea accompanying Shi Yan, he got indignant and made Shi Yan his primary target.
He led the Dark Sea water here to catch all those people. But Shi Yan was safe and sound, which enraged him more.
"Kid, an inferior existence like you shouldn't continue to live," Yama King Hades snorted, as an ash-gray light glowed behind his back. A strange soul fluctuation poured into the Dark Sea all of a sudden.
Gold ash-gray light dots arose in the Dark Sea water. They were like creatures living in the sea, slowly swelling. Gradually, they became the strange, ugly creatures with sharp claws and thick white fangs. They were as agile as shuttles moving in the Dark Sea.
The Sharp Edge Dark Beast was the endemic creature in the Dark Sea. It could nibble all kinds of creatures with its special skill called Shivering Soul.
This kind of a bizarre beast of the Underworld didn't have a specific level. They could always evolve quickly, but the obstacles in their cultivating process were tough. Most of the time, many of them died while breaking through.
The Sharp Edge Dark Beasts had a pointy body, like a cone with sharp teeth, and the innate soul technique called Shivering Soul. Even the hotshot of the Underworld didn't want to mess up with them in the Dark Sea.
They moved in schools, and their innate Shivering Soul ability could join and release together dangerously.
The Sharp Edge Dark Beasts were gliding and surfing like fast fish in the Dark Sea at a fast speed.
Soul energy quickly gathered in the Dark Sea. Each Sharp Edge Dark Beast became a cage that could trap the soul as they swarmed forward.
Shi Yan was squinting to focus on his Teleportation Formation. He was adding more auxiliary materials when he felt his Sea of Consciousness suddenly shudder. Flows of strange soul energy had intruded his Sea of Consciousness. Those flows were scattering, but they seemed to follow some sort of natural soul formation, which would make the soul power of the host soul tremble continually. This situation would put the warrior into a coma.
After Shi Yan had studied the formations in the Blacksmith's Secrets of Success, he had a new cognition of using different natural powers. He knew that even demonic beasts knew how to use the formation in the most natural way.
Shivering Soul skill of the Sharp Edge Dark Beasts used the scattering feeble souls, joining them with their endemic fellows to create the highest attack mode.
Shi Yan frowned and he temporarily stopped his work. A strange light dot glistered in his eyes as the soul fluctuations in his Sea of Consciousness became fierce.
Die Out!
His host soul floating in the Sea of Consciousness shouted a pair of soul words. That word then condensed into a solid square, sparkling with a silver light, flying towards the barrier in the Sea of Consciousness.
A gloomy soul light of the Sharp Edge Dark Beasts shimmered on the barrier in his Sea of Consciousness, creating a soul formation that had formed an octagonal natural formation. It shot out rapidly toward his host soul.
The symbol 'Die Out' was condensed from the soul, which carried the meaning of the Death Intent Domain. The mournful, dismay aura of death overflowed, covering each gloomy soul light dot.
Under the Death Intent Domain, a will of death furiously flooded the soul light dots, destroying their belief in life.
The Sharp Edge Dark Beast dashed to him, but they all lost their vitality right before they could touch him. The Soul Consciousness of Hades added in them vanished.
The Sharp Edge Dark Beast sank into the deep place. They got killed silently like that.
Yama King Hades felt something. He groaned in the Dark Qi above the Dark Sea. His voice was low at first, but its echoes were increasing. Explosions as loud as thunder filled the Dark Sea.
Refined Dark Qi dispersed in the Dark Sea. Under the explosion, it condensed into an Underworld's giant resentful spirit. This resentful spirit looked exactly like Hades, lively, dark, and evil.
The spirit laughed fiendishly. It glided above the Dark Sea towards Shi Yan, then opened its giant mouth to bite his head.
"Well, your bad luck then."
Shi Yan curled his lips, cracking a smile while muttering something under his breath. A dark light ball detached from the Storage Ring.
The light ball suddenly released waves of energy that could absorb the soul energy. Just like billions of tentacles, it started to capture and pull the resentful spirit towards the light ball.
"Soul Gathering Pearl!"
Yama King Hades discolored in fear. While he was fluttering, he bit the tip of his tongue. His blood was urged. Abruptly, his eyes now had a bizarre white hue, so people couldn't see his pupils.
The resentful spirit struggled harder, as if it had been added with God power. Flows of gloomy energy detached from his body, shooting in every direction.
Shortly, half of the energy that condensed the resentful spirit divided and escaped this way. However, the Soul Gathering Pearl had absorbed one-thirds of its energy. Its original power was damaged severely.
When the resentful spirit ran away, Yama King Hades' white eyes became normal. His complexion was grim like never before. He thundered, "I didn't think that a kid like you can have so many evil techniques, which are even crueler than the technique our pagan tribes are cultivating."
Shi Yan lifted his head to look at him. He chuckled, then continued to build his formation.
He sent his thought, "Don't let him disturb me. I need to focus. You shoo him away for me."
The Ghost Hunter covered in the Dark Sea around one hundred meters away from him nodded, then a strange soul fluctuation released from him.
The good-looking figure of the Ghost Hunter looked ethereal in the Dark Sea. He was like an illusion that was changing his position constantly, using the Dark Qi of the Dark Sea to adjust his physical status.
His case wasn't similar to the others. In the Dark Sea, he was the only one who wasn't affected. Actually, his soul had gained benefit from the seawater.
He was a hybrid of the demonic beasts of the Underworld and the Demon Area. He was born with the gift of being able to use the Dark Qi of the Underworld. The Dark Sea was the fountain of origin of the Underworld. To him, it could give him a strange but useful energy to grow his soul.
He had stayed idle to let the Dark Sea refine his soul and body, which had just been upgraded.
This brought a big advantage to his future cultivation.
"Hades, you should leave immediately. Or else, don't blame me for being impolite." The Ghost Hunter's body looked like fractured images reflected in a broken mirror. All of a sudden, it broke into small pieces, which seemed extremely strange!
Yama King Hades was shaken, while his eyes showed his rage. He rumbled. "Ghost Hunter! You dare attack me!"
After his thundering roar, Yama King Hades' body started to distort as if numerous sharp blades were cutting him off. This scene gave people a fierce anxiety deep in their hearts.
The Ghost Hunter's body turned into countless pieces, disappearing into the Dark Sea. The tranquil Dark Sea then started to surge vehemently like an enraged beast. Columns of water shot up to the sky, attacking the experts of the Dark Clan hiding in the sky.
Each water column had the strange garnet eyes of the Ghost Hunter, as though he was hiding himself in each flow of his attack.
"Alright! If you don't care about your life, don't blame me!"
Yama King Hades was filled with rage. His eyes turned back to its original color. His arms, which were hiding in the loose sleeves, were as pale as the ghost claws. However, they didn't have any flesh. This sent shivers down people's spines.
His hands were forming white hand seals, shooting into the air. They were triangular, conical, or round, etc.
Each hand seal was shiny white, revealing the unique gloomy aura of the Underworld. They seemed to promote the Underworld's aura to the acme.
Many white pale seals gathered under his feet. Gradually, they formed a pallid sacrificial altar, which was filled with resentful spirits. The resentful spirits there were exuding a white mist.
The sacrificial altar descended rumblingly, snatching at the Ghost Hunter. Countless resentful spirit on the altar gushed out white mist, swarming towards the Ghost Hunter.
The altar was covered in the white mist. A soul destructive aura diffused from the altar, as if it was judging the creatures. The aura there was grim and solemn.
The Ghost Hunter was besieged in the altar. All of a sudden, it turned back to the ferocious beast form, furiously roaring and attacking the white-jade barrier of the sacrificial altar, releasing its strange and brutal energy.
White bunches of light entangled the Ghost Hunter, piercing and intruding his body.

Chapter 606: Separate

The Ghost Hunter roared in pain. This bunch of light had cut off the sharp thorns on his body. Fine cracks also appeared on the Ghost Hunter's armor.
"Are you convinced?" Yama King Hades shouted with his dark face. "This is the 'Underworld God Sacrifice.' I got it from the holy land. Even the True God Realm expert would become a sacrifice to the Underworld God. If you leave that kid and work for our Dark Clan, I can spare you from this calamity."
The Ghost Hunter was screaming and howling, but he didn't answer the Yama King. The armor on his body started to crack.
Shi Yan was concentrating on building the Teleportation Formation. Suddenly, he turned around, facing the sky above his head. He had thought that the Ghost Hunter could stop Hades. He didn't expect that the beast would fall into this situation.
Normally, a level 9 demonic beast was a little bit stronger than an expert who had just entered the True God Realm. Although the Ghost Hunter had just reached level 9, Yama King Hades seemed to have reached the True God Realm not long before himself. According to his estimation, he thought the Ghost Hunter would win.
He had underestimated Hades' competence. Also, he didn't know that Yama King Hades had received a big harvest from the three bottom levels of the Underworld.
He should speed up building the Teleportation Formation. He didn't know when more pagan experts would come here after Yama King Hades. Thus, he was determined to finish this stuff at the fastest speed.
As for Cao Qiu Dao and Fan Xiang Yun, he deemed that they wouldn't be eroded shortly. Thus, he wasn't going to protect them at the moment.
However, from the current situation, things had gone beyond his estimation.
"Underworld God Sacrifice…"
Shi Yan scooped his head and muttered while his face became colder. While his thought flickered, the Storage Ring flashed.
Three bone spears he had just refined shot out with a sharp whistle. The white light zoomed out as fast as lightning, crossed the space and appeared behind Yama King Hades, stabbing furiously.
Puff!
Yama King Hades trembled and fell forward. Three blood holes appeared on his back.
As his soul was controlling the Underworld God Sacrifice, when he got hurt, the power of the altar reduced greatly.
The Ghost Hunter finally had a moment of freedom in the white altar. He took out the Demonic Bell and shook it crazily.
Demon waves rippled from the bell. Amidst the strange jingling, the waves hit the sacrificial altar, and fire sparked everywhere. The ear-splitting explosions reverberated in the sky.
Yama King Hades' soul was screaming heavily. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth as he gazed at Shi Yan, talking through his gritted teeth. "Damn you, human!"
A pallid Underworld hand seal that looked like layers of white cloud descended rumblingly on Shi Yan's head, as imposing as a mountain
Three Bone Thorns appeared next to him out of thin air. Shi Yan cracked a smile, his eyes bright.
The Bone Thorns were refined from a level 10 beast's bones. Although they weren't divine weapons, however, after Shi Yan had added his Soul Consciousness, they became strange and unpredictable. They could cross spaces easily, which was the special feature of his Soul Consciousness.
Space power could tear space, that no one could track down. It could storm out from any angles to perform the most dangerous ambush.
Yama King Hades, a True God Realm warrior, was his first experimental subject. Luckily, it worked alright at the first trial.
Three Bone Thorns had left three fist-sized blood holes on Hades' back. If Yama King Hades weren't strong enough, that strike could take his life.
Shi Yan felt contented.
Shi Yan wasn't worried about the mountain-like Underworld Hand Seal above his head. He smiled quietly, urging his soul power again.
The Underworld Hand Seal snatched down. But all of a sudden, a space crack appeared above Shi Yan's head.
Yama King Hades was stunned, looking at the Underworld Hand Seal falling into that space crack and disappearing completely, leaving nothing behind.
Shi Yan could counter the attack of the Ghost Mark Clan's sages at the True God Realm, which gave him a deeper understanding of space power. Now, he could tear the space quickly and swallow all furious attacks.
"Ghost Hunter, give him brutal attack!"
After he had dissolved the Underworld Hand Sea, Shi Yan's soul was a little bit tired. He hurried to assign the Ghost Hunter.
The Ghost Hunter was roaring and screaming crazily. The Demonic Bell in his hand was shaken constantly. Demonic light waves continually rippled, creating a barrier covering all Underworld's hotshots. Even Yama King Hades couldn't escape that demonic light.
The demonic beast's power was much crazier and more ruthless than the Underworld's warriors. The tantrum of the Ghost Hunter had pushed the Underworld's experts backward.
As Shi Yan had successfully ambushed Yama King Hades, the latter was bleeding badly. Since his Underworld Hand Seal with his soul energy was swallowed by a space crack, and his soul was hurt, Hades couldn't urge the Underworld God Sacrifice again. He was distraught.
Seeing the Ghost Hunter's rage, Yama King Hades had no way to counter. He knew that even if he could gather his energy, he wasn't the Ghost Hunter's match. Hades had to retreat. At a place far away from the Cold Wind Island, he threw the bronze mirror out again to retrieve the Dark Sea water, which was covering the entire Cold Wind Island, like a whale taking in water.
"Ghost Hunter, wait for me. The next time I'm here is the time of your death!" Hades roared indignantly. His figured faded away and eventually disappeared.
The giant body of the Ghost Hunter changed. Shortly, he returned to the cold, handsome, but evil-looking young man. He sneered, his face disdainful.
Yama King Hades left, so Cao Qiu Dao's group restored quickly. Cao Qiu Dao didn't get hurt. While Ghost Hunter and Hades were engaging in their battle, he had disappeared mysteriously for a while.
Cao Qiu Dao had mastered his Shadowless Path. Once he disappeared and reappeared again, it was the time his life-taking attack came into effect.
The reason why Yama King Hades had to retreat quickly was that he was afraid the Shadowless Path of Cao Qiu Dao. He understood well how dangerous Cao Qiu Dao was. He was like a toxic viper hiding in the dark, which could emerge at any minute.
"Shi Yan, what means did you use to dissolve Yama King Hades' attack?" Cao Qiu Dao was surprised. He strolled to Shi Yan and asked. "I'm good at hiding, and I have a profound knowledge of ambushing. I was behind Hades, but I didn't see the trajectory of the three bone spears. How did you do that?"
Fan Xiang Yun also looked at him with an odd expression, waiting for his explanation.
"If you can break space, no one can track you down," Shi Yan answered nonchalantly. He didn't explain further, concentrating on the Teleportation Formation in front of him.
Cao Qiu Dao contemplated. He vaguely got something, but Fan Xiang Yun and the others didn't get the meaning behind Shi Yan's words.
However, they didn't want to chase him. Seeing Shi Yan focusing on building the Teleportation Formation, they all shut their mouths and scattered to protect him from a distance.
Shi Yan knew he didn't have too much time. He wholeheartedly put his mind to work. Three days later, he had finished the formation, using his soul to carve the space nodes to connect this formation to the formation of the Northern Gem Mountain.
The Teleport Formation suddenly glowed like a lamp, as unique space fluctuations rippled.
"We can leave now," Shi Yan exhaled, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Go through the Teleportation Formation, and you can arrive at the Divine Great Land directly. If you don't have any other ideas, we can go now."
Cao Qiu Dao's group understood well that they couldn't linger in the Endless Sea anymore. They all nodded without any hesitation. On the other side, Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea acted strangely. The two of them were using a soft tone to summon the other members of the Corpse Clan.
"You guys…" Shi Yan was surprised.
"Is there a place called the Ancient Corpse Tomb in that land?" Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea asked in unison.
A strange light crossed Shi Yan's eyes. He didn't want to conceal. "True. There's a place called the Ancient Corpse Tomb. How did you know that?"
"The inheritance we got came from that area. Our fellows are still calling for us from that area using our Corpse Clan's unique method…" Corpse Mount talked slowly, but he couldn't explain clearly with unnatural pauses.
However, both Shi Yan and Cao Qiu Dao understood his words, their faces scared.
Shi Yan tried to press down the anxiety in his heart. He pondered, then gritted his teeth. "Go. You should call your fellows, I'll take you guys there."
"Shi Yan !" Cao Qiu Dao couldn't help but shout.
"Don't say anything. I know what you're thinking," Shi Yan looked cold. "Even if they get stronger in the future and become the strongest force of the Corpse Clan, I have no problem with that. As things have turned into this, a little more chaotic is not much different to me."
Cao Qiu Dao was upset. But still, he didn't try to persuade him further, and just nodded begrudgingly.
He and Shi Yan understood that the Ancient Corpse Tomb in the Divine Great Land would absolutely have formidable experts of the Corpse Clan!
Once they let Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea come to the Ancient Corpse Tomb, even though they had a good relationship with Shi Yan, they would be brainwashed. With the stronger power they could get from the Ancient Corpse Tomb, they would become the executioners slaughtering mankind.
"I want to stay here for a while. They do, too." However, at this moment, the Ghost Hunter walked over with the Devouring Gold Silkworm, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God. "There's power in the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range in the Vault of Heaven Sea that could make us stronger. We want to get it."
"What kind of power?" Shi Yan changed his expression.
"Don't know. But I can feel it," Ghost Hunter mused for a while. "Wait until we can have that power in the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, we will be stronger. At that time, we can support you better."
The Devouring Gold Silkworm, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God stood silently near him, letting him talk for them.
Shi Yan was moved. He knew the situation was changing massively in the way he couldn't understand. This world would become the battlefield of many races. If he could gather enough forces, he would survive the upcoming violent war.
Of course, he wouldn't hinder them. He advised them to be careful.
Eventually, the Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, the King of Demonic Insects, and the Holy Spirit God left. They separated from him at the Cold Wind Island.
Shi Yan activated the Teleportation Formation. He took Cao Qiu Dao's group and the crowd of members of the Corpse Clan to the Northern Gem Mountain in the Divine Great Land group by group.
However, right after he appeared in the Teleportation Formation he built in the Northern Gem Mountain, he changed his complexion into a dark and sinister one.

Chapter 607: Catastrophe
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Columns of thick black smoke soaring into the sky looked like long dragons meandering on the horizon. Images sent to his eyes were all about ruins. It was the whole vast area of silence under his Soul Consciousness' surveying.
The Northern Gem City situated next to the Northern Gem Mountain had no fluctuations of life. It seemed that everybody living in the city had died.
The Teleportation Formation he had built in a flank of a mountain in the Northern Gem Mountain wasn't damaged, but there was no man of the Yang family here. The entire Northern Gem Mountain had fallen into silence and darkness. Apparently, a big change had happened here.
Floating above the Northern Gem Mountain, Shi Yan was worried, his eyes gloomy and serious. He continued to guide his Soul Consciousness around the area, then moved towards the Radiant God Cult.
Places where his Soul Consciousness glided above had no signs of mankind. The Spirit Temples of the Radiant God Cult were just ruins now. Many cities and manors had been burned into ashes.
The situation of the Radiant God Cult was strangely similar to the Endless Sea's. This was a genocide war!
Cao Qiu Dao, Fan Xiang Yun, and the others also felt insecure. They were hovering in the sky, gathering their minds to observe everywhere. Their complexion darkened. The hope they just had developed seemed to be dragged out of their hearts little by little.
However, the clansmen of the Corpse Clan including Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea acted as if they didn't see the miseries around. They kneeled down and bowed towards the general direction of the Ancient Corpse Tomb, as though their God and their belief were there.
Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness moved quickly. After a while, he descended on a mountain of the Northern Gem Mountain. His face was grim as he took a cold breath. "The event happening in the Endless Sea also takes place in the Divine Great Land. Perhaps the situation here is more severe than in the Endless Sea."
Cao Qiu Dao was stupefied. He sighed and then nodded.
"You guys should make up your mind. I haven't destroyed the Teleportation Formation in the Cold Wind Island. If you want to go back now, I can take you there." Shi Yan's face was ice cold. He didn't want to conceal anymore. "As far as I am concerned, the Divine Great Land's now more dangerous. If you stay here, I'm not sure what would happen."
"We need to discuss," Cao Qiu Dao didn't decide immediately. He pondered, then muttered to Fan Xiang Yun and the others. "We need to discuss. Whether leaving or staying, we need to decide quickly."
"I'll go and check for a while. You guys stay here and make up your mind." Shi Yan frowned. Abruptly, he flew towards the Spirit Treasure Sect. Shortly, he was in the adjacent area between the Spirit Treasure Sect and the Northern Gem Mountain. Shi Yan urged his Soul Consciousness to sense the Wonderful Stone City.
A deadly silent area!
Shi Yan discolored in fright. The surprise in his heart swelled bigger. From deep inside his soul, an anxious, frightful feeling arose.
What had happened?
The Radiant God Cult and the Spirit Treasure Sect were both destroyed. Why had such strong ancient factions collapsed, and their main gates struck down?
He had stayed in the Endless Sea for only one year. It was a short period. However, the Divine Great Land seemed to have an earth-shaking calamity. Everything had changed, and only one thing remained; the sun, the moon, and the stars were still shining together in the sky.
Due to the change of heaven and earth, the powers of his martial spirits had been increased rapidly, which made him feel lucky. However, looking at the phenomenon in the sky, he only felt chilled.
Was it the sign of an apocalypse? Was it the sign that mankind was about to be destroyed and replaced?
With a stupefied complexion, he suddenly felt lost. He returned to the Northern Gem Mountain in a daze.
"We had decided to stay," Cao Qiu Dao said determinedly. "The Dark Clan and the Demon Clan are slaughtering the entire Endless Sea. Once we go back, we'll become the biggest targets. Although we don't know what has happened in the Divine Great Land, at least we haven't met any enemy yet. Perhaps, we won't become the main targets…"
At this moment, Shi Yan felt really distressed. He didn't think much and just said deliberately. "If you want to stay, just stay. As things have accelerated to this point, I have no means to support you much. I've said that you guys could be members of the Yang family. Forget it, we shall separate from here."
"We know nothing about this place," Cao Zhi Lan sighed piteously.
"Before this event, I had known something about this place. But at this moment, you and I are the same." Shi Yan beamed a forced smile, waving his hand. "From now on, you should find your way to survive. I actually have no way to help you furthermore."
He was really twitchy.
The calamity that happened to the Radiant God Cult told him that something really terrible had happened throughout the Divine Great Land. Nobody remained in this area. Even if he wanted to ask for information, he couldn't find anyone.
He couldn't guess whether his family in the Yang family and the Shi family were still alive or dead, which put him deep into sorrow.
"As far as I've known, your Yang family's Immortal Blood has magical effects. It can even sense the existence of the opponents and what will happen in the future…" Cao Qiu Dao's eyes sparkled with strange light, talking to him with a soft tone.
Shi Yan's eyes brightened.
It was true! The Immortal Blood did have magical effects!
"You guys should take a rest." Shi Yan's face was moved. He found a cave and sat down cross-legged. He used his mind to control the Immortal Rebirth Secret to condense the Immortal Blood. Then, he could use the secret technique to predict.
A ruby drop of Immortal Blood turned into scarlet mist under his power.
Flows of pure energy rumblingly poured into the scarlet mist. His soul and Soul consciousness started to change and cooperate with the red mist. He was using the obsessiveness in his mind to call for one person, using his thought to sense him.
An immense light glowed inside the scarlet mist, turning into a hazy mirror. An image slowly appeared in it– Yang Zhuo.
Yang Zhuo's shadow became clearer; he was in a desolate jungle. The big trees there seemed to wither. The flora there was tall and strong, jutting from the greenish-gray ground. Thick grass was reaching around people's waist.
Shi Yan could see the vague images of some persons standing next to Yang Zhuo. With a close look, he could recognize them. They were Yang Mu, Yang Xue, Shi Jian, and the other seniors of the Shi family. Many people were gathering and discussing something. It gave Shi Yan a severe and solemn feeling.
Shi Yan was struck. He poured more soul power into the red mist to expand it.
Abruptly, the red mist projected more shadows, all of them being vague. Shi Yan couldn't see their original appearances. However, from their shapes, he knew they were all humans.
Switching his view, he recognized many shadows moving in that vast jungle. He didn't know how many people were gathering there.
Swoosh!
A beam of light shot out from the jungle, piercing through the red mist in front of him. His fog dispersed.
The effect of the Immortal Blood was over at this moment. Shi Yan's soul and spirit were exhausted, and He woke up.
Cao Qiu Dao and his team could feel the energy moving in this area. They wanted to get closer, but the War Devil had stopped them. Cao Qiu Dao got it. As the War Devil had stopped them, they didn't try to barge in, just waiting at their spots.
Inside the cave, Shi Yan took the Soul Gathering Pearl out of the Storage Ring. Watching the fine fibers moving inside the black pearl, he felt happy. Putting the Soul Gathering Pearl at his glabella, Shi Yan used his Sea of Consciousness to draw that pure soul energy bit by bit.
After half a minute, he got up. His spirit was high, and the anxiety on his face was washed away.
"How was it?" Cao Qiu Dao saw him walking out, so he hurried to greet him, his face longing.
"They're okay. They have moved to a place we don't know. Not only the Radiant God Cult, but also the hotshots of the other factions are there," Shi Yan talked about the vague images he had seen. "I think, the seven ancient factions of the Divine Great Land have joined hands. They are gathering at the same place to counter the strong enemies. As long as we can find their location, you guys can go there, too."
As Cao Qiu Dao heard him say so, his spirit was lifted up.
"You guys…" Shi Yan was hesitant, looking at the members of the Corpse Clan standing far from him.
"We want to go to the Ancient Corpse Tomb," Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea replied him without any hesitation.
Cao Qiu Dao's face was dark and cold while a brutal light sparkled in his eyes.
Shi Yan squinted, looking at him coldly before he talked to Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea. "You guys can leave now. I hope when we meet again, you still know who I am…"
"We will."
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea answered him in unison. Then, they used the special etiquette of the Corpse Clan to bid him farewell. The two Corpse Kings led their clansmen strolling towards the Ancient Corpse Tomb.
Shi Yan looked at them leaving, his face odd, sad, and mournful.
"You should kill them!" Cao Qiu Dao said with a cold tone. "They are all pagans. Sooner or later, they will become your enemies! Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea have unpredictably huge potential. If they get to the Ancient Corpse Tomb, their powers would skyrocket. Perhaps, they will become the future leaders of the Corpse Clan. Your deed shows that you are irresponsible towards the entire mankind!"
"It's okay," Shi Yan shrugged. "According to my experience, sometimes, the pagan tribes are more trustworthy."
Cao Qiu Dao was surprised, looking at him dazedly without saying anything.
"What should we do now?" Fan Xiang Yun asked, "How do we know the gathering spot of humans in the Divine Great Land? Shi Yan, do you have any clue?"
"I have no idea at this moment," Shi Yan shook his head. But, suddenly, he smiled. "You guys should stay here first. For a short period at least, this place should be safe enough. I want to go out to find someone and ask for the current situation."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Anybody. As long as it's a living creature, I can use my soul to contact them. Even if it is a pagan, as long as it's alive, it should know what had happened in the Divine Great Land."
"Be careful."
"Alright. You guys should be more careful. I'm going to block the Teleportation Formation here. Don't worry. No one can get here from the Endless Sea through this formation. You just need to watch over the situation around here."
Cao Qiu Dao's group listened to him. They nodded silently, and they didn't ask to go with him.
Shi Yan didn't say any more nonsense. He advised them and then flew towards the Spirit Treasure Sect.
He could confirm that the calamity happened in the Divine Great Land is related to the alien tribes here. The Dark Spirit Clan and the Ghost Mark Clan must have had a part in this. About the Corpse Clan, he didn't dare to confirm.
The Spirit Treasure Sect had the Shady Firmament Old Mound, the gathering spot of the Ghost Mark Clan. Going in that direction, he could find something as long as he was careful.
