Chapter 51: Three-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal

“Void, Annihilation Water, Flowing Shadow—you three stay here and fight me properly.”
The Dragon Emperor had just caught up and shouted arrogantly.
The Phoenix Fire, unable to wait any longer, spat out a blast of flame that spread across the starry sky, enveloping the entire Star Sect and surrounding all thirty-three people.
The Phoenix Fire was born from fire and was inherently a master of controlling fire.
This blast of flame was entirely composed of Silent Ash Heavenly Fire, with white flames flickering in the sky like white clouds—a spectacular yet extremely dangerous sight.
When they were mere Monster Beasts, they produced Purple Flare Heavenly Fire; as Earth Monsters, they produced Green Blaze Heavenly Fire; as Sky Monsters, they produced Silent Ash Heavenly Fire.
In ordinary Sky Monster warriors, Silent Ash Heavenly Fire made up only a small portion of their flames, far less fierce than that of the Phoenix Fire, which was entirely composed of it—proving just how powerful the Phoenix Fire was.
Instantly, the Silent Ash Heavenly Fire in the air began to attack Void and the other thirty-three relentlessly.
“That’s too much!” The three sect leaders—Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow—shouted in anger.
Immediately, they drew out their life-bound demon weapons, swiped them in the air, and summoned ten humanoid spirit entities each. These thirty spirit entities rushed to the side of the thirty Sky Soul Monster warriors, protecting them from being burned by the Silent Ash Heavenly Fire.
In the sky, after the vast expanse of Silent Ash Heavenly Fire disappeared, not a single Sky Soul Monster warrior had been killed.
Seeing such a failure in what it considered its masterpiece, the Phoenix Fire’s round phoenix eyes flashed with endless murderous intent. It had originally planned to just show off by killing one or two Sky Soul Monster warriors to justify itself to Qu Yi. Now that it realized its most proud flame-control ability was completely ineffective and blocked by Void and the other three sect leaders, it became furious.
“Very well, then keep blocking my flames and see what happens,” the Phoenix Fire roared.
At that moment, the Golden Dragon no longer wanted to attack those Sky Soul Monster warriors. Hearing the Phoenix Fire’s words, it swished its tail and moved behind it, clearly signaling that it wanted the Phoenix Fire to attack alone.
Seeing the Golden Dragon’s actions, Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
Then, the Phoenix Fire flapped its wings, opened its mouth, and spat out another wave of Silent Ash Heavenly Fire, covering thousands of miles of the starry sky once again, enveloping all thirty-three Sky Soul Monster warriors.
No—within this wave of Silent Ash Heavenly Fire, amidst the extreme white light, there were also streaks of black light. These streaks pulsed like tides, one after another.

The three alliance leaders—Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow—only noticed the Ashen Heaven Fire and failed to spot the black rays faintly visible within it. Thus, they wore relieved expressions as they waved their respective life-force demon weapons in the air, summoning thirty humanoid spirit entities once again to stand by their thirty subordinates, aiming to protect them once more.

“Ah…”

“There’s something strange about this Ashen Heaven Fire!”

“Be careful of those black rays—they’re even more powerful than the Ashen Heaven Fire.” …

In moments, those humanoid spirit entities were destroyed by the flames, which then turned toward the thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors, burning them relentlessly and nearly depleting their demonic essence.

Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow watched in horror as their subordinates suffered, unable to understand what had been added to the Phoenix’s flames to make them so deadly.

The Phoenix crowed triumphantly in the starry sky.

At that moment, Qu Yi also flew into the sky, his eyes filled with astonishment as he saw the waves of flames spreading across the heavens.

“Qu Yi, this Phoenix does have some strength—it can even unleash a trace of Black Tidal Divine Fire, a flame only possessed by cultivators from the divine realm.” The voice of the Weapon God quickly resolved Qu Yi’s confusion.

Qu Yi was once again surprised. Despite being merely a high-ranking Sky Soul Demon, the Phoenix could unleash a divine flame reserved for divine realm cultivators. However, he also realized that since the Phoenix was born from fire, it naturally possessed certain special abilities.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the Dragon Emperor didn’t wait for the three alliance leaders to react. With another swish of its tail, it moved like lightning and arrived beside the thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors.

“Dragon Emperor, how dare you!” the three alliance leaders cried in terror.

But it was too late.

The Dragon Emperor’s massive mouth, five sharp claws, and one powerful tail all carried immense destructive power. One bite, one claw strike, one tail sweep—without any effort, it wiped out all thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors.

Roar!

In the blink of an eye, the thirty Sky Soul Demon warriors were gone. The Dragon Emperor let out a proud roar before flying back to the Phoenix.

“Dragon Emperor, do you really intend to oppose our Wood Forest Alliance, Water Ocean Alliance, and Earth Stride Alliance?” Void demanded angrily, standing tall in the sky.

Annihilation Water and Flowing Shadow also glared angrily at the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix.

The Tianhun Yao warriors they brought with them were the elite forces of the Three Alliances. Since Tianhun Yao warriors were already rare, losing ten at once surely caused great pain in the hearts of the three alliance leaders.
“Void, Annihilation Water, Flowing Shadow—you three are also foolish for daring to use formations to seal me and the Phoenix. This is outright contempt for us. Those who dare to despise our authority must be punished. This time, I’ve killed ten of each of you. I hope you’ll go back and warn those under your command who possess Tianhun Yao cultivation,” said the Dragon Emperor as he reverted to his human form, speaking indifferently.
Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow remained silent.
“Dragon Emperor, you’re truly formidable. We suffered a loss this time, but we’ll fight again in the future,” Void shouted fiercely.
Since they had already suffered a loss, Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow could only accept this reality.
With that, the three alliance leaders flew away. The Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix didn’t chase after them either.
Qu Yi approached the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix, smiling and saying, “Dragon Emperor, Phoenix—it seems your reputations are indeed well-deserved. After seeing this battle, Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow will surely avoid you in the future.”
The Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix immediately smiled, their faces shining with joy.
Killing thirty Tianhun Yao warriors and humiliating the three alliance leaders was enough to excite the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix greatly.
“Qu Yi, this time you were surrounded by those three, and I finally made it in time. From now on, you need to be more careful. Otherwise, if they surround you again, I might not be able to reach you in time to help,” said the Dragon Emperor with a smile.
Clearly, his words were meant to remind Qu Yi of this favor.
Qu Yi smiled faintly, looking at the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix, and said calmly, “Don’t worry. Those three scoundrels will never be able to find me again, let alone trap me.”
Hearing Qu Yi’s words, the Dragon Emperor’s expression didn’t show joy. He had come to help Qu Yi hoping to confirm that their deal would continue. But since Qu Yi remained silent, there was a risk he might not appreciate his effort.
“Qu Yi, the day the Fallen Realm Divine Realm opens is approaching. Let’s join forces again. No matter how hard Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow try, they won’t be able to gain anything from us. Don’t you think?” the Dragon Emperor took the initiative to speak.
The Phoenix pretended to be surprised, as if she didn’t know that the Dragon Emperor and Qu Yi had already joined forces to enter the Fallen Realm Divine Realm. Her bright eyes shifted between Qu Yi and the Dragon Emperor.
“Dragon Emperor, of course I’ll go to the Fallen Realm Divine Realm. By then, I’ll rely on your divine strength,” Qu Yi replied with a smile.

The Dragon Emperor received Qu Yi’s reply and learned that Qu Yi would still enter the Ruin Realm Divine World with him. His eyes narrowed as he smiled happily.
“Of course. If we work together, there’s no place in the Ruin Realm Divine World we can’t go. We’ll definitely find many divine artifacts,” said the Dragon Emperor joyfully.
Qu Yi nodded and suddenly bowed, saying, “Dragon Emperor, Phoenix, thank you for your help during this crisis. Now, I have something I need to handle personally. Let’s meet again in the Ruin Realm Divine World later.”
Without waiting for the Dragon Emperor or Phoenix to respond, Qu Yi disappeared.
The Dragon Emperor and Phoenix saw no spatial fluctuations at all—Qu Yi had simply vanished right beside them. Surprised, they were also relieved that they hadn’t fallen out with Qu Yi and joined forces with Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow to deal with him.
“Phoenix, let’s go back,” said the Dragon Emperor with a faint smile.
Phoenix nodded and flew toward Tianfu Star.
※※※
Inside the Dimensional Sphere.
Qu Yi, Golden Venerable, Wooden Venerable, Water Venerable, and Earth Venerable sat together on a rock by a lake.
After disappearing from the sky, Qu Yi went to the five primal celestial veins and brought out all five venerables. The Water Venerable was sent back to Fire Glow Star in the Immortal Realm, while the other four were stored inside the Dimensional Sphere.
“Very good. In just one year, you’ve all reached the cultivation level of Three-Star Heavenly Soul Immortals,” Qu Yi said happily, looking at the four venerables beside him.
Golden Venerable, Wooden Venerable, Water Venerable, and Earth Venerable looked at Qu Yi happily in return.
“Venerable, with the Soul Refining Technique taught to us by the Artifact God, we no longer need to worry about our soul realms. Now that each of us has a primal celestial vein, if we can’t improve our cultivation quickly, it would be foolish of us,” replied Golden Venerable with a faint smile.
Wooden Venerable, Water Venerable, and Earth Venerable laughed out loud.
Qu Yi nodded, understanding what Golden Venerable meant. After using the Soul Refining Technique to absorb the soul flowers of five Five-Star Heavenly Soul Demons, they now only needed to scan those soul fragments to fully comprehend them. And since Qu Yi possessed the faith power of the entire cultivation world, it could greatly assist the five venerables in understanding the powers of various soul fragments and accelerating their soul realm advancement.
At that moment, Qu Yi’s immortal consciousness examined his dantian space.
The invisible chaotic planet in the center had condensed further, though its size remained unchanged. The ten planets orbiting the chaotic planet had now turned into fifteen, forming a circle while rotating around it.
The cultivation level of Three-Star Heavenly Soul Immortals meant possessing three planetary worlds, but since Qu Yi had the powers of the five elements within him, he possessed fifteen planetary worlds.

Similarly, Qu Yi’s Soul Flower still has a three-layer structure, but the third layer representing the Heavenly Immortal Soul realm has condensed further.
