Chapter 36: Determined to Attack the Three Alliances

Seeing the magical artifacts in the brocade box, Qu Yi quickly read the descriptions engraved on it. Two Sword of Blades, Twin Wind Blades, Twin Cold Spears, Fire-Embracing Staff, and Earth-Splitting Staff. It turned out that these ten top-tier Heavenly Soul Immortal-grade artifacts were all paired, to be used with both hands simultaneously. After reading the descriptions, Qu Yi smiled—Hao Di must have had unique intentions when crafting these five sets of immortal weapons. “The Two Sword of Blades for the Golden Lord, the Twin Wind Blades for the Wood Lord, the Twin Cold Spears for the Water Lord, the Fire-Embracing Staff for the Fire Lord, and the Earth-Splitting Staff for the Earth Lord. Good—now each of us six has a top-tier immortal weapon, solving the issue of the Five Lords’ magical artifacts,” Qu Yi said happily.
The Artifact God immediately lay down lazily and said, “Alright, now that we have the artifacts, you can leave Hao Di’s treasure. Oh, by the way, I’ve sensed that Huang Xu has already brought a hundred Heavenly Soul Immortal warriors here.”
Qu Yi was slightly surprised—Huang Xu had arrived so quickly from Firecloud Star. “Well, I’ll go greet Huang Xu first, then head to the Demon Realm,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
In no time, Qu Yi emerged from Hao Di’s treasure and landed on the surface of Haocun Star. Indeed, the entire planet was filled with a powerful aura of immortal energy, with Heavenly Soul Immortal warriors scattered everywhere, seemingly searching for the entrance to Hao Di’s treasure. As soon as Qu Yi appeared, he was noticed by the hundred warriors. Whoosh whoosh whoosh—sounds of breaking through the air filled the air as they all rushed toward him. In a short time, Huang Xu arrived with his hundred warriors in front of Qu Yi. Their momentum was overwhelming! “Are you Qu Yi?” Huang Xu asked indifferently as he scanned Qu Yi’s body. Qu Yi sized up Huang Xu and then glanced at the hundred warriors surrounding him, looking relaxed. “Huang Xu, you’re fast—coming here so quickly. Unfortunately, I’ve already plundered Hao Di’s treasure. No matter how many you are, you won’t get anything,” Qu Yi said with a smile. Meanwhile, he had secretly taken the Boundless Star Array in his hand. Huang Xu smiled faintly at Qu Yi and nodded, “As long as I kill you, Hao Di’s treasure will naturally belong to me.” The hundred Heavenly Soul Immortal warriors, all with their immortal energy active, were clearly waiting for Hao Di’s command to launch a collective attack.

Qu Yi still showed no sign of leaving. Taking a light step forward, he smiled and said, “Huang Xu, the treasures you want from me surely aren’t those from Emperor Hao’s hoard. Haha, I won’t go into detail about how you framed Emperor Hao back then. I promised Emperor Hao in the Haotian Immortal Mansion that I would avenge him—now prepare to pay for your crimes.”

Hearing this, Huang Xu’s expression tightened immediately, and he shouted, “Activate the Fire Lock Sky Extreme Array!”

Of course, Huang Xu was also afraid that Qu Yi would reveal in public how he had framed Emperor Hao. As soon as he heard that order, he hurriedly issued the attack command.

The Fire Lock Sky Extreme Array, wielded by these hundred Sky Soul Immortals, was so powerful that even the most formidable Sky Soul Immortal overlords could not escape.

Immediately, those hundred Sky Soul Immortals moved their hands, unleashing waves of Fire World energy. As they did so, human-shaped and spirit-shaped figures seemingly formed from fire appeared within the flames, surging across that space.

“Huang Xu, you’re still too late,” Qu Yi’s voice came through the flames.

Of course, with the Boundless Star Cluster in his possession, how could Qu Yi really be surrounded by these flames?

In those spaces where Fire World energy converged, Qu Yi’s presence had already vanished.

“Damn it, that interdimensional artifact again,” Huang Xu growled through gritted teeth.

The hundred Sky Soul Immortals, seeing Qu Yi disappear out of thin air, all showed expressions of disbelief, frowning in confusion without any explanation. Of course, only the rulers of the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, and Fiend Realm knew about Qu Yi possessing the Boundless Star Cluster; these Sky Soul Immortals had no idea at all.

“Leader, that Qu Yi has disappeared,” one of the Sky Soul Immortals warned.

Huang Xu regained his composure, nodded, and said calmly, “That Qu Yi possesses a rare interdimensional artifact—a divine weapon that Emperor Hao obtained from the Fallen Realm Divine Realm. Since this attempt to surround him failed, there’s no need to be disheartened. Once the Fallen Realm Divine Realm opens, we’ll all enter it together to search for that artifact. Eventually, we’ll have a chance to kill that Qu Yi.”

“Yes, Leader,” the hundred Sky Soul Immortals calmed down.

Soon after, Huang Xu led them through the skies.

※※※

In the Golden Dragon Star Region of the Fiend Realm, on Wind Roaring Island of Tian Meng Star…

Qu Yi suddenly appeared and immediately flew to the Guan Yu Tower of the Wind Dragon Academy, where he met Wind Guan.

“Qu Yi, a year has passed. You’ve returned so quickly?” Wind Guan greeted him with a smile.

Since the Dragon Emperor last met Qu Yi in person, Feng Guan had realized just how important Qu Yi was. As long as he could build a good relationship with Qu Yi, there was a great chance for his own status to improve in the future.

Qu Yi nodded and then smiled, saying, “Feng Guan, I’ll borrow your place for a while. I need to inform the Dragon Emperor and ask him to come over for a chat.”

Feng Guan wanted to say something, but after hearing Qu Yi’s words, his mouth, wide enough to fit an egg, left him speechless. Ignoring Feng Guan’s surprise, Qu Yi took out a communication card and sent a message to the Dragon Emperor with a mere sweep of his spiritual sense.

After a short while, the Dragon Emperor replied.

“Haha, Feng Guan, I’ll stay here with you for half a year. The Dragon Emperor won’t be able to come until then,” Qu Yi said happily after reading the message.

Upon hearing this, Feng Guan immediately broke into a joyful smile and said, “Qu Yi, you’re always welcome to stay here. As long as you don’t mind my humble Crown Feather Tower.”

Qu Yi chuckled.

After that, Qu Yi settled on the top floor of the Crown Feather Tower and indeed stayed there for half a year.

One day, as Qu Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, he suddenly sensed a familiar presence approaching rapidly from the sky—it was the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor flashed into Qu Yi’s room.

“Qu Yi, we meet again,” the Dragon Emperor said gently as he sat down in a chair with a smile.

Qu Yi also stopped cultivating and sat on the bed, taking in the Dragon Emperor before smiling and saying, “Dragon Emperor, I’ve obtained the map of the Ruins Realm Divine World drawn by Emperor Hao, which you wanted. As agreed, I’ll give you a copy.”

With that, Qu Yi threw a black jade slab, which contained a copy of the route Emperor Hao had taken through the Ruins Realm Divine World.

The Dragon Emperor was overjoyed and immediately caught the black jade slab thrown by Qu Yi, scanning it with his demonic sense.

“Great, great! Qu Yi, you truly kept your word. Well then, once the Ruins Realm Divine World opens, we’ll enter it together to search for the divine artifacts,” the Dragon Emperor said happily.

Though Qu Yi smiled on the surface, he was filled with dissatisfaction. The Dragon Emperor intended to use the dangerous places in the Ruins Realm Divine World to kill him and seize the divine artifacts from him—his intentions were malicious.

“Dragon Emperor, I’ll let you enjoy yourself for now. You’ll face the consequences later,” Qu Yi resolved in his heart.

As he thought quickly, Qu Yi maintained a smile on his face, pretending to be grateful for the Dragon Emperor’s suggestion, which kept the Dragon Emperor’s expression cheerful as well.

“By the way, Dragon Emperor, I went to Tianjiu Star, Tiansu Star, and Tianxian Star to explore, causing heavy damage to the beast races on those three planets. Don’t the three alliance leaders—Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow—have any reaction yet?” Qu Yi suddenly asked.
Qu Yi attacked the beast races on those three planets under the guise of a hunting party, which was a blatant insult to the alliance leaders of those planets. Qu Yi didn’t believe they wouldn’t show any reaction at all.
The Dragon Emperor laughed and replied directly, “On the surface, these three alliance leaders haven’t taken any action against you. But secretly, they’ve contacted me. They’re all asking about you and know that you’re Qu Yi.”
Qu Yi used the Boundless Stars to travel between planets. With a little analysis, the three alliance leaders—Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow—could easily figure out that it was Qu Yi who did this.
“What did they ask you?” Qu Yi asked with a smile, staring at the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor chuckled and said, “Oh, it doesn’t hurt to tell you—they all want to join forces with me to hunt you down.”
Qu Yi was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. After calming down, he said, “Those three bastards clearly know I have a time-traveling artifact, yet they still dare to retaliate against me. They’re really seeking death. Back then, each of them sent someone to the Cultivation Realm to deal with me, and I haven’t settled accounts with them yet. Now they still want to take action against me. It seems they weren’t concerned enough when I caused trouble on their birth planets. Well, I’ll show them what happens next.”
Hearing this, the Dragon Emperor’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Qu Yi, do you mean to go to Mulin Star, Shuiyang Star, and Tuba Star to confront those three directly?”
Qu Yi shook his head and replied with a smile, “My current cultivation level isn’t a match for those three. I know my limits. But although I can’t deal with them directly, I’m confident I can handle the beast races on Tiangang Star in those three star regions.”
Since he had already resolved to unify the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Beast Realm, Qu Yi would naturally take action. Starting now, he would begin with the Beast Realm, using the beast races on Tiangang Star in those three star regions as practice.
Hearing Qu Yi’s words, the Dragon Emperor looked somewhat nervous before sighing in relief. Clearly, he was also troubled by Qu Yi’s plan and glad he had been in touch with Qu Yi instead of provoking him directly. Otherwise, even with his overwhelming strength, he wouldn’t be able to deal with Qu Yi if Qu Yi went after the dragon races on the thirty-six Tiangang Stars in the Golden Dragon Star Region.

“Haha, Qu Yi, go take care of those three guys. I’m sure they’ll have a lot of headaches in the future,” the Dragon Emperor said with exaggerated laughter.
Qu Yi smiled, then his expression suddenly turned serious before turning into one of surprise.
“The Five Venerables have finally all reached the level of Two-Star Heavenly Soul Immortals,” Qu Yi was overjoyed.
