Spirit Realm

“Eh!”

Thamur looked a bit caught off-guard. He found it hard to believe that Qin Lie had defeated his giant lightning dragons so easily.

“The first power I cultivated after I was reborn was the Thunder Emperor’s Heavenly Thunder Eradication.

Qin Lie appeared calm and collected as the rampaging thunder and lightning settled down inside his body.

He had cultivated the Heavenly Thunder Eradication since he was in a muddled state at Ling Town.

Thunder and lightning was the very first power Qin Lie mastered. His body had been tempered by lightning.

It was why his giant Abyss Devil form was mostly immune to lightning attacks. He could even absorb some of it into his dantian’s spirit sea.

It was one of his special traits.

“Whoosh!”

He suddenly took action and charged into Thamur’s world of lightning.

Any lightning that hit his body was absorbed into it as of his body was sponge and the lightning was water.

“Crackle!”

His body was crawling with lightning. In fact, his lightning aura was even stronger than Thamur’s lightning avatar.

“I guess you haven’t been idle all these years just like me,” Thamur said with a smile on his face.

“It’s useless though. My avatars are still absorbing the natural energy of your universe. Once my avatars have absorbed most of it, your universe will naturally collapse !”

The size of the energy flowing through the thirty five black holes grew bigger while he was speaking!

Things were going exactly as he said they would. Countless realms were crumbling right now because of the energy drain!

“You really are a liar!” Qin Lie let out a snort and said, “You never planned to share our universe’s natural energy with your ten subordinates! You never planned to let them reach your realm! Everything you’ve ever done was to get stronger yourself!”

“As long as you live, your ten Saints may never enter a higher realm their whole lives!”

“You are a lot more selfish than I am!”

“Space Splinter!”

Qin Lie growled, and billions of starlight specks burst out of the black holes created by the thirty five Thamurs.

The starlight came from the spatial barriers corroded by the Light of Annihilation earlier. It was the star energy he had gathered with Galaxy Mirror.

The starlight specks joined together to form many ancient spirit diagrams. They depicted the will of the universe.

The spirit diagrams containing countless truths and laws wriggled slowly.

“Bang!”

Then, the spatial black holes Thamur had created exploded all at once.

The black holes exploded because they couldn’t endure the overwhelming amount of spatial energy inside.

“Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!”

The explosion resulted in a torrent of spatial blades sharp enough to cut right through Thamur’s avatars.

Thamur’s avatars were immediately cut into pieces.

Without the spatial blackholes, they couldn’t draw any natural energy into themselves. They couldn’t even reform their own bodies.

When Qin Lie paid closer attention, he discovered that light beams made of special truths of power were dancing wildly like snakes.

“I have other powers.”

Thamur said from behind his avatars. His bright and dark face looked unusually stern.

Gray shadows flew out of the dim half of his body. The shadows sewed the severed parts of his avatars back together like threads.

It only took a dozen or so seconds for his avatars to turn back to normal.

“Three-Eyed Race, Gravity Change!”

A dark green eye emerged from an avatar’s glabella.

It was the famed third eye of the Three-Eyed Race!

Qin Lie immediately felt the unfathomable presence of gravity the moment the eye was open.

This was the end of the chaotic streams of space. Gravity didn’t exist, and everything was floating aimlessly.

However, everything started falling when Thamur’s avatar executed a bloodline secret art of the Three-Eyed Race and formed a terrifying gravity field around Qin Lie.

Qin Lie’s ten-thousand-meter-tall body was the heaviest object in the whole place, so the pulling force was stronger for him than for anything else in the vicinity. He dropped downward like a meteor.

“Zzzt!”

At the same time, many outer realm light beams were pulled artificially toward Qin Lie by the gravity field.

“Boom boom boom!”

The light beams exploded fiercely on Qin Lie’s body. Every single one of these light beams contained chaotic energies of unknown origin.

They were powerful enough to kill a rank ten bloodline expert.

Even Lieyan Yuan and Tian Qi avoided making contact with these outer realm light beams as much as possible while they were travelling across the chaotic streams of space.

Even they were afraid of these stray light beams.

Normally, he wouldn’t be struck by these light beams. He was the master of the Galaxy Mirror after all.

But after Thamur had suddenly produced a gravitational field out of nowhere, the light beams’ trajectory suddenly turned chaotic and unpredictable.

Qin Lie bled profusely after the attack.

As he looked into his own body, he discovered that the light beams were filled with chaotic energy. They contained energy from his universe and other universes as well.

The chaotic streams of space were a strange place that connected all universes together. Occasionally, energy that didn’t belong to their universe would fly in from a distant universe.

Even he didn’t know what these energies are. All he knew that it was strange, deadly, and took only an instant to deal severe damage to him.

“Did you figure out why I chose to build my new body here? It’s because there are many foreign energies in this place, and you’re unfamiliar with most of them!”

“We, the shadow beings, have roamed the infinite multiverse for a very, very long time.”

“We’ve devoured at least a dozen or so universes. You don’t know most of the energy that wounded you just now, but I do!”

“You can’t defend yourself against an attack you don’t know, but I can. This knowledge alone put me in a massive advantage in the chaotic streams of space!”

“With how strong you are, you should’ve overcome the limits of your universe and venture to other universes a long time ago.”

“Unfortunately, you are obsessed with protecting your universe. Your horizons are limited because you were never able to explore beyond.”

“This is the gap between you and I!”
