Chapter 41: One Hundred Thousand Earth Spirit Entities
With the cultivation level of a One-Star Earth Soul Immortal, Bai Man was an invincible deity in the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Naturally, Qu Yi was extremely confident that the realm could be conquered soon.
So, Qu Yi returned directly to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. As soon as his body landed on the planet’s surface, he received news that a group had already traced the whereabouts of the powerful Earth Soul Demons from the Tu Ba Alliance.
“Great, the news came at just the right time. I need these Earth Soul Demon warriors too. I’ll go deal with them right now,” Qu Yi said cheerfully.
Without hesitation, he took out the Boundless Starships and headed to a planet deep within the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. Since Qu Yi had deployed one hundred thousand starships, tens of millions of cultivators were divided into one hundred thousand teams, constantly searching for the powerful warriors from the Nine Alliances using those starships. Forced to retreat deep into the Meteor Domain Divine Realm, these warriors tried to avoid being found by the search teams.
Obviously, the Earth Soul Demons of the Tu Ba Alliance were not so lucky and were unfortunately discovered by Qu Yi’s teams.
Qu Yi appeared in a starry sky, with a golden planet ahead—its entire surface seemed to be made of golden diamonds, shining brilliantly.
“These Earth Soul Demons of the Tu Ba Alliance are quite interesting. They chose such a eye-catching planet as their hiding place,” Qu Yi smiled as his body flashed into the skies above the golden diamond planet.
The air above the planet was filled with intense Earth energy; it seemed that just grabbing a handful of it could create an Earth Spirit Entity. No wonder the entire planet’s surface was covered in golden diamonds.
Qu Yi’s chaotic energy was quite subdued. Now that he was in the planet’s skies, his aura seamlessly blended with that of the planet. Thus, he wasn’t worried about being detected by the Earth Soul Demons and alerting them.
His divine sense immediately sent a message to Qu Yi.
“Qu Yi, there are fifteen Earth Soul Demon warriors from the Tu Ba Alliance. They have entered the planet’s core. The reason they chose this planet is that its core contains an Earth Essence Spirit Entity mine. Over millions of years, this mine has produced no less than hundreds of thousands of Earth Spirit Entities, and these people are refining them.”
It turned out that these powerful Earth Soul Demons of the Tuoba Alliance, while fleeing, accidentally discovered this source spirit body mine. Especially with the hundreds of thousands of Earth Spirit Bodies already there, it drove these fifteen individuals wild with excitement. With these Earth Spirit Bodies, they could all elevate their cultivation to the peak of the higher-tier Earth Soul Demon realm.
With such an opportunity, the fifteen powerful Earth Soul Demons of the Tuoba Alliance were willing to take the risk and stay on this planet.
“Instrument God, how many more Earth Spirit Bodies are left?” Qu Yi immediately asked.
“About another hundred thousand, enough for Earth Lord to elevate his cultivation to the peak of the higher-tier Earth Soul Immortal realm,” the Instrument God replied softly through telepathy.
Typically, a higher-tier Earth Soul Immortal would have ten thousand spirit bodies as their limit. Although Earth Lord had extraordinary talent, he still couldn’t accommodate a hundred thousand Earth Spirit Bodies.
Qu Yi nodded happily, a smile forming on his lips. “Good. Now, in addition to capturing the people from the Tuoba Alliance, we’ve also obtained this advantage unexpectedly.”
Immediately afterward, Qu Yi flashed into the depths of the planet. The thick, hard gold diamonds couldn’t stop him at all.
※※※
The fifteen powerful Earth Soul Demons of the Tuoba Alliance, after one of their leaders chose to leave, gathered together and wandered in the Ruins Divine Realm to avoid Qu Yi’s pursuit. By chance, they entered this planet and discovered the existence of the Earth Source Spirit Body mine, along with an incredible number of Earth Spirit Bodies. So they stayed hidden in the planet’s core, striving to refine these Earth Spirit Bodies one by one.
At this moment, each of the fifteen powerful Earth Soul Demons grabbed an Earth Spirit Body, quickly inhaling it into their bodies. Once inside the dantian space’s planetary world, they refined these Earth Spirit Bodies, turning them into Earth Spirit Bodies within their own internal worlds.
If these powerful Earth Soul Demons relied on their own strength to create a spirit body in their internal world, it would take at least millions of years. But now, with ready-made spirit bodies, they only needed to inhale them and refine them successfully.
All fifteen of them wore happy smiles, filled with contentment.
Qu Yi’s body suddenly appeared in the open space at the core of the planet, as he smiled and observed the fifteen of them.
“Everyone, you seem to be living quite comfortably,” Qu Yi said with a laugh.
The fifteen powerful Earth Soul Demons of the Tuoba Alliance instantly stood up, quickly discarding the Earth Spirit Bodies in their hands. They gathered together, watching Qu Yi warily.
Those Earth Spirit Entities, like bats, all hung on the upper wall of this open space, each in a different shape, swaying with spiritual energy as if waiting for the battle below.
“Qu Yi, what are you doing here?” a powerful Sky Soul Fiend cautiously called out.
“What do I think I’m here for? You’re asking something obvious. Are you going to surrender, or do you want to fight me? Decide now,” Qu Yi replied calmly.
It was clear that Qu Yi had come to capture them.
Indeed, upon hearing Qu Yi’s words, the fifteen powerful Sky Soul Fiends of the Tu Ba Alliance became furious, snarling and glaring at him with hatred.
“Qu Yi, though you’re strong, you’re still only at the level of a lower-tier Sky Soul Immortal. If you push us too far, any one of us could self-destruct, and you won’t come out unscathed,” another Sky Soul Immortal said.
The fifteen of them appeared fierce, speaking boldly, but none had the courage to attack Qu Yi.
Qu Yi shook his head and sighed, “Why? Why do you have to force me to act?”
As soon as he spoke, five figures appeared beside him—the five transformed deities. Of course, as soon as they appeared, each held two divine artifacts and quickly swung them, launching another attack.
The five deities once again deployed the Five Deities Fierce Formation. The Golden Patterned Sword, Green Rainbow Dust Brush, Sea-Turning Bowl, Fire-Dispelling Banner, and Desert Scroll were swiftly thrown upward, enveloping the entire space in the World of Five Elements Spirits, trapping the fifteen Sky Soul Fiends of the Tu Ba Alliance.
Qu Yi smiled and took out the Star Luo Ding, placing it among the five deities, ensuring they wouldn’t run out of spiritual energy.
“What kind of space is this? How can the Five Elements Spirits exist together?”
“It’s impossible. The Five Elements Spirits shouldn’t be able to coexist peacefully at all.”
“Everyone, gather quickly! We alone can’t defend against their simultaneous attacks.”
Due to Qu Yi’s presence, none of the fifteen Sky Soul Fiends of the Tu Ba Alliance wanted to be the first to attack him. So when the five deities launched their attack, they didn’t have time to escape and were trapped immediately.
At this moment, like the Sky Soul Fiends of the Water Ocean Alliance, they were also shocked by the peculiar effects of the Five Deities Fierce Formation and realized the terrifying power of the Five Elements Spirits’ attacks, screaming in panic.
Their screams couldn’t stop the attacks, and the fifteen Sky Soul Fiends had no choice but to find ways to resist the relentless assaults.
The Five Lords control the Five Deities’ Fierce Formation, and it is necessary to synchronize the frequencies of the Five Elements spirits. Only when all reach the same frequency can these spirits coexist harmoniously. As a result, the attacking power emitted by these spirits is not that terrifying—actually, it is even weaker than that of ordinary individual spirits. However, the number of these Five Elements spirits is infinite, and this is where their true formidable strength lies.
The fifteen Heavenly Soul Demonic experts of the Tuoba Alliance gathered together, each wielding their own magical artifacts. They swung them rapidly, continuously summoning Earth Element spirits to counter the onslaught of the Five Elements spirits.
The situation reached a stalemate for a while.
Over time, these fifteen Heavenly Soul Demonic experts had refined thousands of Earth Element spirits, greatly enhancing their strength. They were not likely to be defeated so easily and managed to fight back against the Five Elements spirits.
Qu Yi was aware of the activities in this space and knew that the demonic essence of those fifteen people would not be exhausted in one go, so he paid no extra attention. With the Star Luo Cauldron present, the immortal essence of the Five Lords would surely remain abundant, allowing them to eventually deplete the demonic essence of those fifteen Heavenly Soul Demonic experts.
Therefore, Qu Yi stopped focusing on the battle between the two sides and turned his attention to the hundreds of thousands of Earth Element spirits above the space.
“Haha, I won’t be polite—let’s take all of these Earth Element spirits,” Qu Yi exclaimed joyfully.
He flashed into the sky, his hands moving like butterflies as he released waves of chaotic energy, forming an invisible vast net. In an instant, thousands of Earth Element spirits left the upper region and gathered around Qu Yi.
All of these Earth Element spirits entered the Inch Realm Sphere.
It seemed these spirits could only survive within this space. As soon as they left this primordial spirit mineral space, they would quickly dissipate and return to the Earth Element energy of the universe. Thus, as Qu Yi gathered them in large numbers, the spirits had no choice but to allow him to take them.
Although trapped within the Five Deities’ Fierce Formation, the fifteen Heavenly Soul Demonic experts of the Tuoba Alliance could still sense what was happening outside.
Naturally, Qu Yi’s relentless pursuit of the Earth Element spirits further enraged them.
“That’s impossible! How could Qu Yi possess such a space?”
“Could it be that Qu Yi has a spatial artifact?”
“I get it now. Qu Yi claimed he could take cultivators from the three realms out of the Meteor Domain Divine Realm—turns out he has a spatial artifact.”
In an instant, the fifteen Heavenly Soul Demonic experts of the Tuoba Alliance seemed to have an epiphany and realized that Qu Yi indeed possessed a spatial artifact.
Qu Yi heard the shouts of the fifteen people but chose to ignore them. What did it matter if those fifteen learned the truth? They would still be drained of their demonic essence by the five beings, and in the end, they couldn’t escape—so no information would leak. Inside the Origin Spirit Body Mine Space, over a hundred thousand Earthly Spirit Bodies had all been taken by Qu Yi. At this moment, Qu Yi landed on the ground and looked at the Five Deities Fierce Array Space ahead. He saw that the fifteen Heavenly Soul Demon warriors of the Earthly Alliance still had strong enough strength to defend against the attacks of the Five Elements Spirits, which made him smile. “The five beings, continue your attacks. I’ll go and deal with these guys,” Qu Yi said with a smile. Immediately afterward, he flew into the Five Deities Fierce Array, took out his Divine Formula Card, and approached one of the Heavenly Soul Demon warriors. “Qu Yi, if you dare come over, I’ll self-destruct!” the Heavenly Soul Demon warrior shouted in panic. This warrior noticed that after Qu Yi entered, the Five Elements Spirits stopped attacking him, allowing Qu Yi to use his full strength. Realizing that if he had to defend against the Five Elements Spirits while also being attacked by Qu Yi, he would surely be severely injured, he said, “It’s fine. Just self-destruct.” Qu Yi wasn’t in a hurry to attack either. He stood there smiling and spoke softly. The Heavenly Soul Demon warrior’s eyes widened in anger as he glared at Qu Yi, but he lacked the courage to self-destruct. Seeing this, Qu Yi suddenly vanished and reappeared beside the warrior. The Divine Formula Card emitted a dazzling purple light as it sliced through the warrior’s chest. Soon, the warrior’s eyes dimmed, his demonic essence drained rapidly, and he collapsed to the ground. “I told you to self-destruct, but you refused. I had no choice but to attack you,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he grabbed the warrior and sent him into the Dimensional Ball. This voice, heard by the other fourteen Heavenly Soul Demon warriors, filled them with even greater fear. “Qu Yi, I’m willing to submit to you!” suddenly, one of the warriors screamed. Frightened by Qu Yi’s strength, he feared he would lose his demonic essence just like the previous warrior and collapse inexplicably. Qu Yi shook his head and laughed, “Submit? I don’t need that.” Without giving the fourteen warriors a chance, he vanished again and rapidly jumped through space, arriving beside them in an instant. Holding his Divine Formula Card, he sliced through each of their chests one by one.
The fourteen Heavenly Soul Demons all fell to the ground.
The Five Lords dissolved the Five Gods’ Fierce Formation and smiled as they looked at the fourteen Heavenly Soul Demons on the ground.
Qu Yi enclosed the fourteen of them in the Inch Realm Ball, then turned to the Five Lords and said with a smile, “Now I’ve also gathered enough Earthly Soul Demons.”
