Spirit Realm

Bloody pieces of flesh flew out of Castor’s body in the chaotic streams of space.

Many strange energies and bloodline patterns formed a huge net that enveloped Castor’s body.

The power, laws, and truths of Qin Lie’s bloodline and Soul Altar seemed to turn into millions of blades that cut at Castor’s body.

Under this onslaught, Castor’s body was constantly shrinking.

With Castor’s strength, he should not have been so weak. But he had used Devilization Refinement twice. His refined flesh and blood energy had greatly lessened.

This caused Castor’s defensive abilities to be much lower.

Each Great Lord of the Abyss, when their refined flesh and blood energy increased and their bodies grew large, would experience increased sturdiness, sensitivity, and soul perception.

The stronger the Abyss Devil, the more powerful their body was, and the harder they were to defeat.

As their power decreased and their body shrank, its defensive power would decrease as well.

Right now, Castor was only seven thousand meters tall, and his abilities in all aspects had weakened.

Qin Lie’s attacks at full power, variety of bloodline abilities and secret arts, were naturally able to heavily injure him. 

”It’s about time we finished it.”

Standing amid the light-filled void, Qin Lie looked coldly at Castor and saw his soul gradually wither as his flesh was splintered around.

When Castor’s body was full of holes and a size smaller, Qin Lie finally calmly descended in front of Castor’s eyes.

”Zzt zzt!”

A net of lightning and light opened a passageway for him so his Abyss Devil hand could reach deep into Castor’s heart.

”Here!”

Qin Lie laughed. His hand was like a drill that burrowed into Castor’s chest.

”Boom boom!”

He could feel Castor’s powerful heartbeat.

”Devil devouring!”

Bloody veins flew out of Qin Lie’s hand. Those bloody tendons were like snakes that bit onto Castor’s heart.

In a flash, endless amounts of refined flesh and blood energy turned into rays of purple light that flooded into his body through the veins.

”Howl!”

Castor gave a world-shaking howl. His eyes bulged and the light from his eyes grew dim.

Qin Lie used the devil devouring ability to deconstruct Castor’s bloodline secrets hidden deep within the heart.

Many rays of purple light, seemingly containing deepest secrets of the Abyss, flew out of Castor’s heart and landed in Qin Lie’s palm.

Castor’s body gradually shrank.

”Soul devouring!”

At the same time, bluish green whirlpools appeared in Qin Lie’s eyes.

A soul secret art of the Soul Beast and Soul Race targeted towards the soul was immediately cast.

Purple soul energies flew out of Castor’s unfocused eyes in threads.

Those soul energies disappeared in a flask under Qin Lie’s devouring.

Both Castor’s flesh and soul were gradually being refined under Qin Lie’s attacks.

Castor’s soul presence and bloodline fluctuations grew imperceptible in the chaotic streams of space.

”Whoosh whoosh!”

The criss-crossing strange energies and bloody lights disappeared and stopped attacking.

Castor’s cut off limbs and flesh scattered around the cold and dim void seemed to feel danger and returned to his physical body.

Seconds later, the flesh that had flown out of Castor’s body all returned back to him.

Castor shrank into a large purple ball of flesh.

Qin Lie’s hand was still within that purple ball of flesh and using the devil devouring ability to absorb Castor’s entire being.

”Sst!”

A dot of light expanded into Spirit Race’s Great Sage Tian Qi.

Tian Qi held the Scepter of Fate. His expression was hurried as though he had just broken free of Qin Hao and Ling Yushi.

He hurriedly came over to judge the situation after sensing the unusual fluctuations in the chaotic streams of space. Then he saw the gargantuan nine-thousand-meter-tall body of Qin Lie, growing even bigger.

He also saw… Castor’s death throes.

A complicated light flashed in Tian Qi’s blue eyes. He hesitated. He wanted to the opportunity but he also felt a faint sense of anxiousness.

He looked at Qin Lie and he was in turmoil. He wanted to act, but he had other things to consider.

Qin Lie was consuming Castor with his soul and bloodline as he looked amusedly and with disdain at Tian Qi.

He seemed to be waiting for Tian Qi to suddenly attack.

However, ultimately Tian Qi didn’t attack and forced himself to calm down.

Tian Qi’s expression carried a hint of desolation. He was silent for a long time before suddenly shaking his head and sighing. He said, ”In a while, I will return to the Spirit Race and give the Scepter of Fate to Indigo. I will tell Assad to abdicate early from the position of Spirit Race’s chief. Indigo will hold the Profound Heaven Spirit Orb and the Scepter of Fate. She will become the new chief of the Spirit Race. The Spirit Race’s future will have nothing to do with me. Indigo will be in charge of everything.”

”I know your relationship with Indigo, when she becomes the new matriarch of the Spirit Race, you will not continue to target them.”

”What I do in the future will have nothing to do with the Spirit Race.”

”Lastly, congratulations.”

After saying this, Tian Qi rent apart space to create a spatial rift and disappeared from the chaotic streams of space.

He knew that when Qin Lie killed Castor and absorbed Castor’s body and soul, no one in the universe could suppress Qin Lie.

He and Lieyan Yuan wouldn’t be able to either.

He knew when Qin Lie finished digesting Castor, the youth would change the state of the universe.

Qin Lie, after killing Castor, would intimidate all the Abyss Devils. The seven Devil Monarchs and the Abyss Devils of the upper hundred levels, regardless of whether they were willing, would have recognize Qin Lie as the new Abyss Master.

Even if he had not reached the ultimate realm.

When all the Great Lords of the one hundred and eight Abyss level were at Qin Lie’s feet, he would be the most powerful person in the universe.

If Qin Lie sought retribution at that time, the Spirit Race... would not be able to endure Qin Lie’s anger.

When the Abyss had a master, and the savage Abyss Devils who had been fighting were united against common enemy, the Spirit Race was not their match.

To avoid Qin Lie blaming all of the Spirit Race due to him, he chose to give up everything, having Assad abdicate and having Indigo become the leader of the Spirit Race early.

Qin Lie would not attack the Spirit Race because of Indigo.

”You grew so quickly, too quickly that we had no time to prepare or scheme. In front of absolute power, our schemes are but a joke,” he bemoaned.

Tian Qi’s sigh came from the healing spatial rift, filled with helplessness and desolation.
