Chapter 5: Showing Off in Public

The Fire Glow Alliance’s Starship Team entered the entrance passage to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm.

Huang Xu finally took action, deciding to kill Fire Lord with his own hands. He even brought out his greatest asset—a divine artifact. Just as Huang Xu was about to strike, Qu Yi appeared and immediately released a wisp of Soul Devouring Energy, aiming straight at Huang Xu’s body.

Huang Xu was well familiar with this kind of energy—he had once obtained a wisp of it himself, using it to sneak attack Emperor Hao successfully. Now, with Qu Yi unleashing it again, Huang Xu was terrified.

“Bastard! How do you have Soul Devouring Energy?” Huang Xu immediately let go of Fire Lord and retreated hastily, trying to avoid the attack.

Qu Yi and Fire Lord were one soul. As Fire Lord broke free from Huang Xu’s grasp, with a single thought, he entered the Dimension Sphere. Qu Yi himself flew straight ahead and once again closed in on Huang Xu.

Inside the passage to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm, a powerful being like Huang Xu, a supreme Heavenly Soul Immortal, couldn’t rely on his Immortal Sense. But Qu Yi had someone as extraordinary as a Divine Artifact behind him, who could use the Immortal Sense to guide him.

Before Huang Xu could react, Qu Yi was already upon him, releasing another wisp of Soul Devouring Energy. This time, Huang Xu wasn’t so lucky—the energy penetrated his body and quickly reached his soul space.

“No!”

Huang Xu screamed in horror, but it was too late. From that cry, he realized his entire cultivation was useless. His Soul Flower had been touched by the Soul Devouring Energy, and death was only a matter of time.

“I’ll kill you!” Huang Xu screamed in panic, like a wild beast.

Immediately, he unleashed his spells violently in the entrance passage of the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. Though his Immortal Sense was useless, he could still cast spells. Undoubtedly, he wanted to use his last strength to unleash fierce spells and kill Qu Yi, who had attacked him. Even before dying, he wanted to drag the culprit down with him.

Unfortunately, after successfully using Soul Devouring Energy, Qu Yi entered the Dimension Sphere right away. While Huang Xu frantically cast spells, determined to kill Qu Yi in the passage, he never imagined there existed such an extraordinary divine artifact as the Dimension Sphere.

“Ah…”

Throughout the entire passage, those Starships of the Fire Glow Alliance, as soon as they approached Huang Xu, were attacked violently by him. One after another, the Starships exploded, and the Immortals on them, along with their disciples and followers, were killed innocently. The power of the higher-ranked Immortal Souls, coupled with a ruthless intent to kill, meant that none of those powerful Immortals could withstand each attack. Moreover, the Immortals on these Starships couldn’t sense any movements around them at all, so they had no chance to defend themselves. With every devastating attack, they met a tragic death, dying unjustly. After destroying thousands of Starships, Huang Xu’s Immortal Essence was almost completely exhausted. At the same time, he finally realized clearly that the Soul Devouring Energy was slowly eroding his Soul Flower, bit by bit. “Fire Lord, you’re Qu Yi! I truly hate myself for not killing you right away back then,” Huang Xu roared in regret within the dark entrance passage. Unfortunately, no one could hear his cries. At that moment, Qu Yi emerged from the Dimension Sphere again. “Huang Xu, there’s no need for you to regret anything. Ever since I agreed to Emperor Hao, your death was inevitable. Now, I don’t even need to wait for the Soul Devouring Energy to kill you—I’ll kill you myself,” Qu Yi said calmly from nearby. This voice was sent by Qu Yi using Chaos Energy, and it reached Huang Xu’s ears clearly. Huang Xu’s body trembled. Qu Yi already had his hands on Huang Xu’s body, and a powerful surge of Chaos Energy flowed into Huang Xu’s body, instantly destroying his entire physique. Then, it enveloped Huang Xu’s Soul Flower and crushed it, completely annihilating his Soul Flower. Thus, this great hero came to an end. After finishing this, Qu Yi entered the Dimension Sphere and let the magical energy in the entrance passage carry it toward the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. ※※※ Days passed unknowingly. Finally, they crossed the entrance passage to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm, with a fresh stream of spiritual energy blowing towards them. The Starships of the Fire Glow Alliance emerged from the passage, revealing a stunning sight. Wherever they appeared was amidst a vast starfield, and the scene before them was completely different from the Immortal Realm. In that vast starfield, each planet seemed to be of similar size, and their positions in the sky resembled cubes arranged in order.

In other words, if one is on one of these planets and looks up, they will see planets of the same size in all four directions, at equal distances. Thus, navigating through the skies of this Divine Realm of Meteoric Ruins could easily lead to complete disorientation.

The entrance to the Divine Realm of Meteoric Ruins, which transports cultivators from the Immortal Realm here, drops them on the outer planets, so they don’t get lost right away. That vast entrance channel remains clearly visible to everyone, though it is slowly drifting as well.

Faced with the countless planets that resemble a labyrinth in the distance, none of the cultivators from the Immortal Realm dare to fly into the deeper planets easily, as they fear getting lost—something that can be fatal.

The Divine Realm of Meteoric Ruins is only open for a hundred years, and these cultivators surely understand that if they lose their way and fail to reach the exit within that time, they will die.

Numerous cultivators stand around in confusion on the outer planets.

The cultivators of the Fire Glow Alliance also gathered after flying down from their starships, but none of them saw the alliance leader, Huang Xu. Moreover, there were a thousand fewer starships, and neither the Immortals nor their disciples were in sight on those ships.

“Where is the alliance leader?”

“Haven’t another thousand Immortals arrived yet?”

These doubts kept arising in the minds of the Fire Glow Alliance’s cultivators. They couldn’t understand why, since they had arrived, the alliance leader Huang Xu hadn’t shown up yet.

At the same time, the Immortals from the Golden Mysterious Alliance, Wood Maple Alliance, Water Lake Alliance, and Earth Gui Alliance in the Immortal Realm also noticed the situation at the Fire Glow Alliance and realized that Huang Xu hadn’t arrived, and the number of Immortals from the Fire Glow Alliance seemed off.

“What’s going on with the Fire Glow Alliance?”
The Immortals from the four alliances began to suspect each other.

Just then, Qu Yi suddenly appeared, landing alone in the sky and smiling faintly at the over one billion cultivators.

“Hello everyone. I’m Qu Yi. Ordinary cultivators like you don’t know who I am. Among you, only the three alliance leaders—Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, and An Yu—know my background.” Qu Yi shouted loudly, his voice reaching the outer planets.

The cultivators on those planets immediately erupted in chatter. After being surprised by this sudden appearance of a boastful man, they burst into laughter.

“Is this Qu Yi crazy? There’s no such person in the Immortal Realm, yet he’s here acting tough.”

“Only three alliance leaders know him? He’s really good at boasting. Anyone who catches the attention of three alliance leaders is already dead.”

“This guy must be here to make a joke.”
……
Countless cultivators filled the air with mocking laughter.
At that moment, Chang Xin, the leader of the Golden Mysterious Alliance; Ji Qiong, the leader of the Wood Maple Alliance; and An Yu, the leader of the Earth Gui Alliance, appeared calm on the surface, but their hearts were tumultuous. Of course, they knew exactly who Qu Yi was. Over ten thousand years ago, each of them had sent a Disciple of the Soul Immortal into the cultivation world. From the messages they received, they already knew that all the treasures in the Vast Heaven Immortal Mansion had been taken by Qu Yi.
Over the years, Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, and An Yu had been constantly monitoring the developments in the Immortal Realm, hoping to find Qu Yi. But Qu Yi was too mysterious, and they had found nothing. They only knew that when the Ruin Realm Divine Realm opened again, Qu Yi would surely enter, so they planned to confront him there and obtain the transcendent artifact he possessed.
At this moment, Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, and An Yu watched Qu Yi calmly without taking any action. They understood that since Qu Yi had shown himself, he would surely take action and continue speaking, so they decided to wait.
“Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, An Yu, back then, the three of you, along with Huang Xu, pursued Emperor Hao and eventually forced him to death. I succeeded in breaking through the defenses of the Vast Heaven Immortal Mansion created by Emperor Hao, inherited his legacy, and fulfilled one of his requests—killing Huang Xu,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Whoa!
Instantly, the cultivators on several planets turned their attention to where the Fire Glow Alliance’s cultivators were gathered. Not seeing Huang Xu’s figure, they all had a terrifying suspicion arise in their minds.
“Huang Xu, the leader of the Fire Glow Alliance, a Supreme Soul Immortal, was actually killed by this unknown man,” many voices of confusion arose.
Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, and An Yu trembled, no longer able to maintain their calm expressions.
At that moment, the Immortal Saints of the Fire Glow Alliance’s faces turned red with rage, like fierce beasts. They all soared into the sky, flying toward Qu Yi in the starry expanse.
Coincidentally, Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, and An Yu also took off together, rushing straight at Qu Yi in the stars.
Qu Yi had anticipated this situation and laughed wildly in the sky.
“You bastards, there’s plenty of time. The Ruin Realm Divine Realm opens for a hundred years—we can take our time. I won’t stay longer. See you later, everyone!” Qu Yi shouted loudly.
Then, his figure flew deeper into the starry sky, disappearing among the neatly arranged planets.

With the Star Map of the Meteor Domain Divine Realm drawn by Haodì in his hands, Qu Yi had already planned his escape route as soon as he appeared. He then followed the routes on the map, flying from one planet to another. The cultivators of the Fire Glow Alliance did not pursue him. Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, and An Yu, the three alliance leaders, exchanged glances in the sky before returning to their subordinates, also feeling displeased.
