Spirit Realm

“No one wants to be shackled or ruled by another master again! We’ve all gotten tired of that life!”

The Phantom Monarch said darkly, “Flaming Sun Monarch, surely you’re not looking forward to serving a master, right?”

“Qin Lie!” even Auston shouted a reminder.

He didn’t want the Molten Rock Monarch to revive the King of Flame Devils either!

He knew that an awakened Flame Devil King was even deadlier than Castor.

“Relax. Unlike you all, I want to see what tricks this Molten Rock Monarch can pull,” Qin Lie replied calmly.

“My lord! Please awaken! This is your era! I will help you climb to the peak once more! Castor is destined to be nothing more but your stepping stone! If you awaken, Castor is nothing at all!”

The Molten Rock Monarch shouted as ribbons of lava and fire continued to tighten around the burning meteor and pull it toward his heart.

“Tu tu tu!”

Spiky tentacles also sprouted from the heart to grip the burning meteor firmly.

At the same time, thick veins appeared on the surface of the Molten Rock Monarch’s skin.

Fiery liquid could be seen flowing inside those veins. They contained all sorts of mysterious bloodline crystals.

Qin Lie finally moved and tapped his forehead.

“Whoosh!”

A translucent Soul Altar covered in complex and profound Abyss Devil patterns flew out of his eyes.

One area of his Soul Altar covered in crimson patterns abruptly went up in flames.

The Flame Devil King's unique aura and the laws of fire engraved on the Soul Altar abruptly surged toward the burning meteor like waves.

It took only an instant, but the connection between Qin Lie and the burning meteor suddenly became closely knit.

“Return.”

Qin Lie stared coldly at the burning meteor before recalling it using its connection to his Soul Altar and bloodline power.

“Crackle!”

Crimson and purple lightning bolts sputtered from the surface of the burning meteor at the same time.

The two Devil Monarchs’ bloodline power and laws of fire clashed fiercely against each other again.

“Boom!”

A million shining rings of burning lava jumped off the burning meteor's surface and illuminated the entire abyss passageway.

“You are courting death!”

The Molten Rock Monarch roared and swung his gigantic claws repeatedly. Black holes appeared wherever his finger pointed.

Thousands of volcanoes at least ten thousand meters tall floated out of the black holes.

The volcanoes were either on fire or gushing with lava. They slammed into Qin Lie’s body like giant fireballs.

The volcanoes that appeared out of nowhere filled up the abyss passageway quickly, leaving little room for anyone to maneuver.

After the appearance of the volcanoes, the other six Devil Monarchs frowned deeply before roaring in unison.

“Molten Rock Monarch! Are you seriously doing this? Are you really going to resurrect the King of Flame Devils?”

“You may want a new master, but we don’t!”

“Are you trying to make us interfere with this battle!”

Everyone including Auston was furious and directing their ire at the Molten Rock Monarch.

“Hehe! Like I care what you all think! You’ll all act as obedient as sheep when my master is resurrected anyway! You lot are so weak that you can’t even kill off Castor’s avatars permanently! There’s no way you can stop my master’s flames!”

The Molten Rock Monarch was fearless despite the threats. He continued to unleash his power while roaring.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Thousands of volcanoes rushed toward Qin Lie’s body like the wind.

The abyss passageway wasn’t especially wide to begin with, and the volcanoes only restricted Qin Lie’s movement even more.

Unable to dodge out of the way, a volcano slammed right into him.

“Boom!”

There was a dull boom, but the volcano suddenly vanished into nothing.

The attack failed to move Qin Lie at all, but his expression changed abruptly.

“This is?”

He suddenly realized that the vanished mountain was inside his heart!

“Boom! Boom boom!”

Three more volcanoes entered his body from the back of his heart, his waist, and his stomach.

They all reappeared inside his heart!

An uncontrollable heat spread from inside his heart. His blood was swiftly being evaporated by all kinds of laws of fire.

The loss of his blood caused his seven thousand meter tall body to shrink uncontrollably.

The amount of bloodline power he could use was decreasing at a drastic rate.

“Your understanding of the laws of the Abyss is a bit shallow, don’t you think?” Molten Rock Monarch taunted.

His voice… was actually coming from inside Qin Lie’s heart, or more specifically the volcanoes.

It was as if the Molten Rock Monarch’s blood and soul had slipped inside of him.

“Oh no!”

Nine Hells Monarch Auston immediately realized what was going on when the volcano suddenly vanished into nothing.

“Qin Lie, watch out! The heart is the source of our bloodline and power! You must hold on!”

“Flaming Sun Monarch, your knowledge of the laws of the Abyss and our race is too shallow! You were too careless!”

“You actually allowed his power to enter your heart? Didn’t you erect strong defenses around your heart?”

“You’re not going to beat the Molten Rock Monarch like this!”

It was clear that the Devil Monarchs were standing on Qin Lie’s side.

Everyone was warning Qin Lie not to allow the Molten Rock Monarch to burn his heart.

If the Molten Rock Monarch was able to attack his heart repeatedly, Qin Lie wouldn’t be able to unleash his Abyss Devil Race bloodline power to its maximum potential. His body would slowly shrink as well.

The shrinking of one’s body meant the reduction of one’s bloodline power. Naturally, his combat strength would also rapidly decrease.

“You will follow me back to Molten Rock Purgatory!”

The Molten Rock Monarch laughed savagely before flying into a black hole.

At the same time, he sent the rest of the volcanoes flying toward the rest of the Devil Monarchs.

The narrow abyss passageway was currently filled with volcanoes. The Devil Monarchs had no choice but to take evasive action for the moment.

They knew that the Molten Rock Monarch’s true intention was to slow them and keep them from interfering with the battle.

It was so that he had enough time to drag Qin Lie into Molten Rock Purgatory.

Once they were both inside Molten Rock Purgatory, he, the creator, would experience a massive power boost and be able to use the fundamental laws of his purgatory against Qin Lie.

Even if they all entered Molten Rock Purgatory to stop him, they wouldn’t be able to unleash their full strength in a foreign purgatory.

“Don’t let him drag you into Molten Rock Purgatory!” Auston was the first one to warn Qin Lie again.

By now, a couple of strange black holes had sneakily moved next to Qin Lie.

The Molten Rock Monarch’s sinister laugh could be heard from all of them. They were also pulling at Qin Lie strongly.

The Flame Devil King's life crystal had also been dragged into the Molten Rock Purgatory while Qin Lie’s heart was invaded by the volcanoes through unknown means.

He lost all connection with the burning meteor the moment it was pulled into Molten Rock Purgatory.

Qin Lie himself was still being burned by volcanoes and dragged slowly but surely into Molten Rock Purgatory by the black holes.

“His reputation of a powerful Devil Monarch is well-deserved.”

Qin Lie sucked in deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. He tried to think of a way to escape his predicament while he lamented at the Molten Rock Monarch’s strength.

An idea suddenly entered his mind.

“Crack crack!”

His bones started popping loudly, and he withdrew all of his blood and moved them toward his heart!

He shrank rapidly from a seven thousand meter tall Abyss Devil into a tiny human being.

“God Race, Profound Ice bloodline, Absolute Zero!”

“Frost Arts, Power of Frost!”

“Bloodline, Rapid Change!”

He muttered in his mind as he changed his bloodline powers rapidly.

His pupils abruptly turned silver white in color, and they looked perfectly cold and devoid of emotion.
