Spirit Realm

”Why haven’t they returned?”

An Hao of the Darkness Family shouted with a frown in God Realm.

”What happened in Shattered Ice Realm?” Lieyan Zhao’s expression was terrible.

”Whoosh!”

An icy light flashed and Han Che appeared. He said, ”I just communicated with our family members in Shattered Ice Realm. They said Qin Lie, Cang Ye, and the others left through the teleportation formation two hours ago. Based on the time, they should have reached God Realm long ago.”

At the words, An Hao and Lieyan Zhao all frowned.

”Something must have happened!” An Hao said confidently.

Han Che thought for a moment and then sat down slightly. He searched for Mia’s position with their bloodline connection.

When he was in God Realm, he could feel Mia who was trapped in Dark Natal Realm by Qin Lie and knew she was unharmed.

Mia was his daughter and inherited his bloodline. He could use bloodline secret arts to sense her.

Seeing Han Che’s actions, An Hao and Lieyan Zhao were both silent and waited for his conclusion.

A long time later.

Han Che opened his eyes, and said with an unusually grave expression, ”I cannot feel Mia’s position.”

”How is it possible?” Lieyan Zhao shouted. ”She is your daughter. If she is alive, no matter where she is, you should be able to feel her general location?”

”It is not absolute.” Han Che shook his head and said, ”You should know there are two places in the vast universe where I cannot sense Mia.”

An Hao of the Darkness Family was shocked and shouted, ”Dark Shadow World and the Eight Purgatories!”

Lieyan Zhao was also stunned and realized. He said, ”Are they in either of those two ghastly places?”

”It cannot be Dark Shadow World.” An Hao shook his head and said, ”No matter how the teleportation formation direction is twisted, it cannot reach Dark Shadow World.”

”Then it is the Eight Purgatories?” Lieyan Zhao shouted.

Han Che said, ”It can only be the Eight Purgatories.”

”There are only a handful of people in the universe who are able to use spatial power to disrupt our setup and send them to an Abyss purgatory.” An Hao snorted and said, ”It must be that damned Tian Qi!”

”Most likely. Our cooperation with Lieyan Yuan ruined his setup in Spirit Realm, and caused Narsen, his chess piece, to die. With his personality, he wouldn’t let it slid,” Han Che said gravely.

”Purgatory, Eight Purgatories...” An Hao frowned. ”It is not easy to go to Eight Purgatories and rescue them, even for us. Also, which of the Eight Purgatories are they in?”

”Damned Tian Qi!” Lieyan Zhao shouted. ”This is not the first time he has ruined things!”

”Han Che, we will first see the elders. Lieyan Zhao, contact Lieyan Yuan and tell him about this,” An Hao said.

”Alright!”

……

Purgatory.

After the initial panic, everyone gradually calmed and started to consider how they would find the abyss passageway of this level.

Qin Lie attempted to contact his two Soul Beast avatars. His soul perception seemed to be blocked off by an invisible barrier.

His main soul and subsoul’s connection were cut off in the purgatory.

As the creator of the Flaming Sun Abyss, he tried to utilize his unique connection, and failed.

Mia and the others used other methods to attempt contact with their race elders and concluded it was a waste of energy.

”It is useless. The Eight Purgatories are unlike other Abyss levels. Even pure Abyss Devils can only leave through the abyss passageway, let alone us.” Cang Ye had calmed down and said, ”Based on my knowledge, other than Devil Monarchs and beings of Great Sage Tian Qi’s level, no one can move freely through the Eight Purgatories without the help of the abyss passageway. The Devil Monarchs of the Eight Purgatories have their power and bloodline merged with the core laws of their respective purgatories.”

”A person like Great Sage Tian Qi must have extraordinary knowledge of the secrets of space to not need to go through the abyss passageway.”

”We...”

Cang Ye shook her head. ”There is no chance. We must find the abyss passageway and go up through it.”

”Usually, the abyss passageway would be at the center of an Abyss level. It should be the same in a purgatory.” Qin Lie looked around and said, ”However, we do not know where we are now and which direction we should go.”

”How about we spread out and fly for a while to see if there are any clues?” Gan Xing suggested.

”It will be good to find an Abyss Devil and ask,” Liu Yang agreed.

”Abyss Devil...” Cang Ye’s eyes flashed darkly and said, ”We do not understand the Eight Purgatories, nor know the strength of their Abyss Devils. If we meet some strong Abyss Devils, we might lose.”

”Stay here for now, I will take a look around,” Qin Lie suddenly said.

”You?” Mia was shocked.

”If I encounter a powerful Abyss Devil, I might be able to protect myself.” Qin Lie grinned and then activated his Abyss Devil Race bloodline.

”Crack crack crack!”

His skeleton cracked. The nearby abyss devil energy flooded into his body.

After a while, he managed to turn into an Abyss Devil using his Abyss Devil Race bloodline.

After his transformation, his eyes and hair were deep purple. He became bulky and firm. Sharp spikes grew on his knees, elbows and shoulders. His skin was covered by purple brown armor.

”Abyss Devil!” Mia was stunned.

Even Cang Ye and Gan Xing were shocked at his body after transformation.

”You should know why those old people value me so greatly.” After his Abyss Devil transformation, Qin Lie chuckled, and appeared vicious. ”My existence means that the Perfect Blood project the last patriarch of the Blaze Family studied has succeeded.”

”So that’s how it is,” Cang Ye sighed.

”Perfect Blood...” Xuan Luo’s gaze was excited.

”Wait here for a while.”

Qin Lie did not explain more. He flew away in his Abyss Devil body, found a random direction and disappeared in a short while.

”The Blaze Family bloodline, the Profound Ice Family bloodline, the Demon Spirit of Space and Time bloodline, the Abyss Devil Race bloodline...” Mia murmured. ”What other bloodlines does he have? How many bloodline systems does he possess?”

”He is the future of our race,” Cang Ye said seriously.

In this moment, she finally understood why the old people of the God Race suddenly accepted Lieyan Yuan and were willing to pay such a high price for Qin Lie.

”After his transformation, he looks like a pure Abyss Devil. If he abandons us, wouldn’t he be able to move freely in the purgatory?” Mia hesitated and said, ”Without us, he will have no problems with his identity. Will he return?”

Cang Ye also stilled.

”Do not worry, he will,” Gan Xing said with a smile.
