Chapter 50: Sealing the Space
Qu Yi stood on the Star Luo Ding, smiling as he watched the Dragon Emperor, as the device flew toward him.
The thirty powerful Sky Soul Demons all gazed at the three leaders—Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow—waiting for their orders.
The three leaders glanced at the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix, and after hearing Qu Yi’s words, they immediately understood that the Dragon Emperor had allied with him. If they attacked Qu Yi now, the Dragon Emperor would surely turn against them.
Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow shook their heads, signaling their subordinates not to act rashly.
The Dragon Emperor waved at Qu Yi and called out with a smile, “Qu Yi, I arrived just in time, didn’t I?”
Qu Yi went over to the Dragon Emperor, put away the Star Luo Ding, and looked at the Phoenix with ease.
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the fearsome Phoenix,” Qu Yi said with a faint smile.
The Phoenix, who had been smiling at Qu Yi, grew displeased upon hearing his words. She could tell that Qu Yi didn’t speak to her with the admiration or respect others did; he was simply assessing her.
“Qu Yi, I’m here to help you. Aren’t you grateful?” the Phoenix said, pretending to be angry.
“Thank you!” Qu Yi bowed slightly, then turned to the three leaders beside him and said with a smile, “Dragon Emperor, Phoenix—rumor has it that you two are the strongest in the Demon Realm. I wonder if you two have a chance of defeating these three scoundrels.”
Qu Yi acted as if he were giving orders to them, as if they were his subordinates.
The expressions of the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix darkened immediately. Speaking to them in such a manner in front of so many people greatly humiliated them.
The Dragon Emperor was the leader of the dragon race and the ruler of the Golden Dragon Galaxy. The Phoenix was the leader of the flying demons and the ruler of the Phoenix Galaxy.
Having their faces lost in public, how could the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix remain calm?
Qu Yi had his reasons for doing this. Bringing the Dragon Emperor to Tianfu Star was to test him. Now that he was here, why not test him further? Besides, Qu Yi knew about the Dragon Emperor’s plan to frame him in the Ruin Realm Divine World. He wanted to provoke the Dragon Emperor to see if he could stay composed.
In secret, the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix sent messages through their demonic consciousnesses.
“Phoenix, that bastard Qu Yi has that interdimensional artifact and the Star Luo Ding for defense. Even if we join forces with Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow, we may not be able to trap him. For now, let’s let Qu Yi act arrogantly for the time being and wait until we reach the Divine Realm of Meteorites to deal him a fatal blow,” the Dragon Emperor sent a message through his demonic consciousness.
Phoenix remained calm and replied via demonic consciousness, “Alright, then let’s fight against Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow.”
“Since Fellow Qu Yi wants to see my strength, I’ll show him a bit,” the Dragon Emperor said with a smile.
“Dragon Emperor, I’ll join you in this fight too,” Phoenix added immediately, smiling at the other three alliance leaders.
Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow were stunned. They never expected the usually proud Dragon Emperor and Phoenix to tolerate Qu Yi’s disrespectful behavior.
“Dragon Emperor, Phoenix, have you gone mad?” the three alliance leaders cried out in panic.
By then, the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix had reverted to their beast forms—a ten-thousand-meter-long golden dragon spanning the sky, its sharp claws slashing through the air dominantly, and Phoenix in the form of a phoenix, a thousand meters wide, with magnificent feathers and flames emanating from its body, lighting up the sky.
“The Five-Planet Celestial Sealing Array!” Suddenly, the three alliance leaders shouted urgently.
Under these circumstances, they knew it would be extremely difficult to confront the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix with their own strength. Unless they used the divine artifacts they possessed, they would suffer severe damage.
None of the three wanted to reveal their divine artifacts.
Naturally, the Five-Planet Celestial Sealing Array, originally meant to counter the Star Luo Ding, was now used against the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix.
In an instant, the thirty demon subordinates of the three alliance leaders waved their hands, sending dazzling streams of demonic energy from their palms. Then, the thirty powerful demon warriors flew into the air, their demonic energy forming stars that radiated brilliant light.
Thirty stars in total.
Before the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix could launch an attack, those thirty stars combined all the demonic energy, isolating the entire space from the original world and creating a separate realm.
Naturally, the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix were now trapped in another space.
Seeing this, Qu Yi showed a hint of surprise on his face. He immediately took out the Star Luo Ding and stepped into it, smiling as he looked at the three alliance leaders—Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow—who stood in the air with a sense of triumph.
“You guys are really strong. If I hadn’t brought in the Dragon Emperor, you three could have sealed me away using this Five-Planet Celestial Sealing Array,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow glared at the Star Luo Ding and each took out a demonic weapon of the Upper Heavenly Soul Demon level—a poisonous fang, a blue rod, and a sharp curved sword. They immediately cast a spell at the Star Luo Ding.
Naturally, the three dazzling and powerful spells only sent the Star Luo Ding flying into the air, causing no damage to it at all.
Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow showed a hint of surprise in their eyes and a look of dissatisfaction on their faces, but they stopped casting spells at the Star Luo Ding. After all, they all knew that their spells couldn’t break through the Star Luo Ding, meaning they couldn’t capture Qu Yi, so there was no need to waste their demonic energy on it.
“Hmph, Qu Yi, with the Star Luo Ding as your defense, we can’t reach you. Since the Five-Planet Celestial Sealing Array didn’t seal you this time, we’ll let you go for now. We’ll deal with the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix first, and come back to deal with you later,” Void said angrily, staring at the Star Luo Ding in the air with displeasure.
Qu Yi smiled slightly, controlled the Star Luo Ding to land on the ground, and didn’t rush to escape. Instead, he wanted to see how the three alliance leaders would seal away the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix.
The Five-Planet Celestial Sealing Array was maintained by thirty powerful Heavenly Soul Demon warriors. In the entire space, only those thirty warriors could be seen wielding their demonic energy in the air, while the isolated sealing space showed no signs of spatial fluctuations. It was truly amazing.
However, Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow gradually grew worried.
Inside the sealing space, the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix realized that their demonic senses detected only a very small area, realizing that they had been separated by space. The only way out was to break through this sealing space.
“Phoenix, it seems those three bastards—Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow—do have some strength after all. They managed to create such a powerful array,” the Dragon Emperor said easily, his mouth wide open.
He showed no signs of worry, his entire dragon body swaying freely as if swimming in the air.
“Dragon Emperor, it’s been a long time since we last appeared. In the Demon Realm, only our fame is spoken of, not our ferocity. Let’s wreak havoc today,” the Phoenix cried, flapping its two flaming wings.
The rulers of two star realms were brimming with confidence.
With two swift movements, the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix flew in the same direction at once.
The dragon claw at the front of the Dragon Emperor’s body suddenly slashed violently forward, causing a golden-colored demon essence to condense into a point and shoot out instantly. Wherever that golden demon essence passed, spatial cracks formed. In an instant, a kilometer-long spatial crack appeared, with endless spatial turbulence energy surging out, disrupting the entire space.
The Phoenix also followed the Dragon Emperor’s direction, suddenly opening its phoenix beak. A beam of flame formed and shot out rapidly, instantly burning up all the elemental energies in that space, creating a void that then collapsed. The black hole-like crack formed by the space’s collapse, along with the spatial turbulence, affected the entire sealed space simultaneously.
One used “Dragon Claw Annihilation,” the other “Indomitable Heart Flame”—both deadly ultimate moves.
Immediately, the energy in the entire sealed space underwent drastic changes. The demon essences emitted by the thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors were drawn into the spatial cracks and the collapsing space.
In other words, no matter how much demon essence those thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors invested, it was all channeled into the spatial turbulence by the spells cast by the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix.
With just one spell each, the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix could draw out all the demon essences of those thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors. This was undoubtedly the best way to weaken them.
Naturally, the thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors outside who were maintaining the sealed space sensed their own demon essences being continuously drained, while the sealed space grew weaker. They immediately realized it could no longer be sustained.
The three alliance leaders—Void, Drowning Water, and Flowing Shadow—also became aware of the situation.
“Everyone, withdraw from the sealed space! Let’s leave Tianfu Star right now!” the three leaders shouted urgently.
Hearing the order, the thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors immediately relaxed, withdrawing their demon essences and abandoning the sealed space.
Soon after, the three leaders led the thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors straight into the starry sky, attempting to escape through the stars.
By then, the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix had already emerged from the sealed space. Seeing the movements of those thirty-three people in the starry sky, their eyes gleamed with murderous intent.
“Qu Yi, we’ll be back soon,” the Dragon Emperor said, giving Qu Yi a glance before calling out and immediately flying into the starry sky.
The Phoenix nodded at Qu Yi and followed the Dragon Emperor into the starry sky as well.
In the starry sky, the Dragon Emperor, towering tens of thousands of meters tall, and the Phoenix, wide thousands of meters across, quickly caught up to the thirty-three powerful warriors and launched an attack.
