Chapter 28: The Realm of Falling Stars and the Divine World
Liu Feng, the leader of the Leopard Clan, along with Liu Bo, were both trapped by Qu Yi. One was attacked by Qu Yi, while the other was seized by Qu Yi’s Star Luo Ding. Now, both were confined in a place within the Dimensional Ball.
Liu Feng’s Soul Flower had used its primordial energy to reassemble a new body. The same was true for Liu Bo—despite having only his head left, he also used his primordial energy to restore his body. At this moment, the two were fixed to a tree, less than a meter apart, unable to move, able only to gaze at each other. They were utterly helpless.
Suddenly, Qu Yi appeared and came to stand beside Liu Feng and Liu Bo. “Hehe, are you two comfortable here? I controlled the primordial energy to restore your bodies. Shouldn’t you be grateful to me?” Qu Yi laughed.
Liu Feng and Liu Bo could recover their bodies only because Qu Yi controlled the Earthly Primordial Energy within the Dimensional Ball and came to them, providing enough energy for them to recover.
“You…” Indeed, both Liu Feng and Liu Bo were shocked. At the same time, they were even more astonished by Qu Yi’s ability to freely manipulate primordial energy to reach them, which made their hearts even heavier.
Qu Yi waved his hand, smiling at them, and said outright, “You should understand that you can’t move on this tree at all because of me. So, it’s reasonable to believe that I already have control over you.”
Liu Feng and Liu Bo’s faces turned angry, but they had no words to say.
Qu Yi chuckled, then became serious and said calmly, “I intend to imprint my soul mark on your Soul Flowers. Do you have any objections?”
At this point, Liu Feng and Liu Bo realized that Qu Yi hadn’t killed them because he planned to turn them into his pet beasts.
“I am the leader of the Leopard Clan. I will never become your pet beast!”
“Better to die than be humiliated!” Liu Feng and Liu Bo shouted loudly.
“Is that so?” Qu Yi smiled, glanced at them, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Then there’s no other way. I’ll have to use force.”
Immediately afterward, Qu Yi released his Immortal Consciousness, entering Liu Feng’s soul space and reaching his Soul Flower.
“Haha! So you’re just at the level of a one-star Heavenly Soul Fiend. How dare you use your fiendly consciousness to enter my soul space? You want to control me, right? Very well, I’ll take control of your Soul Flower instead now!” Liu Feng shouted excitedly.
In Liu Feng’s soul space, Liu Feng naturally knew the strength of Qu Yi’s immortal awareness, and thus his cultivation level. However, Liu Feng overlooked one thing: Qu Yi clearly knew Liu Feng’s cultivation level yet still dared to send his immortal awareness into Liu Feng’s soul space—there must be something he relied on.
At that moment, in his own soul space, Liu Feng’s demonic awareness had completely suppressed Qu Yi’s immortal awareness. He was about to entangle Qu Yi’s immortal awareness with his own and use it to enter Qu Yi’s soul space, so as to imprint his demonic awareness on Qu Yi’s Soul Flower.
Before Liu Feng could get excited, suddenly a golden light followed Qu Yi’s immortal awareness into Liu Feng’s soul space, directly helping Qu Yi’s immortal awareness imprint Qu Yi’s soul mark on Liu Feng’s Soul Flower.
“That’s impossible… What’s going on?”
Liu Feng was stunned, his face blank, trembling all over.
Qu Yi smiled, seeing Liu Feng’s dazed state, and said happily, “Liu Feng, if you just stop resisting and let me imprint the soul mark, it would be better. You insist on making me work hard.”
Liu Feng glared at Qu Yi viciously.
Liu Bo, who was nearby, saw Liu Feng’s state and heard Qu Yi’s words. He immediately understood that Qu Yi must have already imprinted his soul mark on Liu Feng’s Soul Flower, and now Liu Feng had become Qu Yi’s pet beast.
“What should I do? Even the clan leader can’t resist him; I definitely can’t either,” Liu Bo thought anxiously.
Qu Yi’s eyes fixed on Liu Bo as he said with a smile, “Stop resisting. If you dare to rebel like Liu Feng, don’t blame me if I kill you right away.”
Liu Bo was stunned.
Qu Yi smiled slightly, then immediately sent out his immortal awareness to enter Liu Bo’s soul space and found Liu Bo’s Soul Flower.
Sure enough, Liu Bo didn’t resist.
After a while, Qu Yi imprinted his own soul mark on Liu Bo’s Soul Flower.
“Great. The two strong members of your Leopard Clan have become my subordinates. This Tianxian Star is now under my control,” Qu Yi said cheerfully with a smile.
Liu Feng and Liu Bo remained silent.
Qu Yi ignored their thoughts and continued to explain his plan, then said, “Liu Feng, Liu Bo, after you two leave, lead your Leopard Clan to exterminate all the demonic beast races on the Fengting Continent and let your clan rule it alone.”
Liu Feng and Liu Bo’s eyes widened in shock as they hurriedly said, “That’s impossible! There are only the two of us in the Leopard Clan. How can we deal with the other ninety-nine clans? Each of them has a supreme leader who is a Five-Star Tianpo Demon.”
Qu Yi immediately waved his hand and smiled, saying, “I’ve already captured all ninety-nine supreme commanders. You don’t need to worry.”
Liu Feng and Liu Bo were once again filled with surprise.
It was extremely difficult even for lower-ranked Heavenly Soul Demons to capture all ninety-nine Five-Star Heavenly Soul Demons at once. For Qu Yi, with his level of One-Star Heavenly Soul Demon, to capture all the supreme commanders outright was far beyond their imagination.
“Without those supreme commanders holding us back, I can complete this task,” Liu Feng replied right away after being surprised.
Unifying the Wind Pavilion Continent had always been Liu Feng’s dream. Now, not only was his dream about to come true, but he could also take this opportunity to vent the resentment accumulated from being captured this time.
Qu Yi nodded, then turned to Liu Bo and said with a smile, “Liu Bo, after you leave, head to Red Fruit Mountain. Liu Zhuo is hiding there. Find a way to get him back to you two, and lead the Leopard Clan to attack other demon races.”
With the perception of the Divine Tool God, the entire Tianxian Star was under the control of the Divine Tool God. Naturally, Qu Yi also knew the whereabouts of the escaped Liu Zhuo, the Shadow Leopard.
This statement once again filled Liu Feng and Liu Bo with fear. How could Qu Yi, at the level of a One-Star Heavenly Soul Demon, discover Liu Zhuo, who was at the level of a Five-Star Heavenly Soul Demon, and sense him from such a distant place as Red Fruit Mountain?
“Yes, master,” Liu Bo said, completely submitting in his heart and addressing him as master.
Qu Yi smiled, then with a thought, Liu Bo was sent out of the Dimension Ball.
Seeing Liu Bo disappear suddenly, Liu Feng knew it was Qu Yi’s doing. He was utterly disheartened by Qu Yi’s ability to control people and realized he could never escape his grasp.
Qu Yi looked at Liu Feng and said with a smile, “Liu Feng, I’m keeping you here to ask you about the Meteor Domain Divine Realm.”
“Ah…” Liu Feng exclaimed in surprise and said anxiously, “Master, do you already know that I might enter the Meteor Domain Divine Realm?”
Liu Ying, the leader of the Tu Ba Alliance, whose true form was a Shadow Leopard, had long promised Liu Feng that if he reached the level of a lower-ranked Heavenly Soul Demon, he would take him into the Meteor Domain Divine Realm to search for divine tools and treasures.
Qu Yi smiled slightly and said calmly, “I know about what Liu Ying promised you. But what I want to ask you now is, what exactly are the special things in the Meteor Domain Divine Realm?”
The Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Fiend Realm are like three “bananas,” surrounding the pancake-shaped Divine Realm of Meteorites. The Divine Realm of Meteorites has always been a mysterious place; even the leaders of the various realms have not fully explored it, and they all refuse to speak about what lies within it. Naturally, although cultivators from the three realms are aware of the existence of the Divine Realm of Meteorites, only a few know anything about it. Qu Yi has always been very curious and thus eager to find answers.
Liu Feng calmed himself down and had already figured it out in his mind. With his soul under control, it was impossible for him not to answer. Rather than be tortured by Qu Yi, it was better to simply speak up.
“Master, roughly ten million years ago, the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Fiend Realm were still separate realms, not connected as they are now. One day, a terrifying energy turbulence appeared among the three realms. Two star systems from each realm were consumed by this turbulence, and after stabilizing, the Divine Realm of Meteorites was formed, thus connecting the three realms,” Liu Feng said slowly.
Qu Yi nodded, indicating he knew this information, and signaled Liu Feng to continue.
“Master, the Divine Realm of Meteorites opens once every million years, and each opening lasts for a hundred years. Anyone with a cultivation level of Human Immortal, Human Demon, or higher can enter it. However, whenever it closes, only those who are powerful enough to be Heavenly Soul Immortal, Heavenly Soul Demon, or Heavenly Soul Fiend can emerge. This time, the leader of the Flowing Shadow Alliance told me that only when my cultivation reaches that of a lower-tier Heavenly Soul Fiend can I enter the Divine Realm of Meteorites to explore,” Liu Feng said slowly.
Qu Yi thought quietly and realized the critical issue of being a Heavenly Soul Immortal. Without reaching that level, entering the Divine Realm of Meteorites would mean death.
“That doesn’t make sense. Liu Ying, the leader of the Earthly Stride Alliance, Yan Shui, the leader of the Water Ocean Alliance, and Kong Xu, the leader of the Wood Forest Alliance—these three also had the cultivation level of Yuan Fiend back then and entered the Divine Realm of Meteorites. How did they manage to return safely to the Fiend Realm?” Qu Yi suddenly exclaimed.
Among the fifteen who pursued Emperor Hao, all had the cultivation level of Yuan Fiend. Among the five who went from the Fiend Realm to the Cultivation Realm, besides Feng Guan, there were also Liu Ying, Yan Shui, and Kong Xu.
Liu Feng shook his head and said directly, “Master, I don’t know the answer to this question either. It’s probably the biggest mystery in the Fiend Realm.”
Qu Yi calmly looked at Liu Feng, thinking deeply in his heart, before saying, “It seems that to solve this mystery, I also need to enter the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. In less than ten thousand years, it will be the day the Meteor Domain Divine Realm opens, and I hope to enter it with you then.”
Liu Feng stared at Qu Yi in shock, worriedly saying, “Master, you’re only at the level of a one-star Heavenly Soul Fiend. Aren’t you worried?”
The implication was clear: once Qu Yi entered, he might not be able to come out, and if he died, as Qu Yi’s beloved pet, Liu Feng would die immediately as well.
Qu Yi smiled and said confidently, “Liu Feng, don’t worry. My methods of staying alive are beyond your imagination.”
Liu Feng fell into silence again.
