Chapter 0230: The Kingdom of the Scarlet Flame
Like the Crystal Star Domain, the Scarlet Flame Star Domain also consists of over thirty planets. The central planet of this domain, the Scarlet Flame Star, is surrounded by numerous other stars.
Huang Long and his companions had to travel from Wind Fire Star to the Scarlet Flame Star in a straight line, crossing seven planets along the way—a considerable distance. Fortunately, they encountered no elemental storms or attacks from exotic beasts during the journey. Yet even so, after rushing nonstop, it took them two months to reach the Scarlet Flame Star, which illustrates just how vast the Scarlet Flame Star Domain is. The Tianyun Dimensional Space, which encompasses over a dozen such domains, is even larger.
The area of the Tianyun Dimensional Space is thousands of times that of the Hengyuan Plane. If a lower-level dimensional space is already this large, then intermediate and higher-level dimensional spaces must be even more immense.
As for how many such lower-level dimensional spaces as the Tianyun Dimensional Space exist in this world, neither Long Yi nor the others know—not even the Supreme God. However, it is said that there are no less than ten billion.
Ten billion!
At the thought of this number, Huang Long and the others were stunned. A lower-level dimensional space like Tianyun likely contains at least three hundred divine realms and twenty lower gods. So, among those ten billion lower-level dimensional spaces, how many powerful beings exist above the level of divine realms?!
This does not even include intermediate and higher-level dimensional spaces, let alone the divine planes.
Besides the seven main divine planes and the six supreme divine planes, there are also numerous divine planes created by various supreme gods and higher gods—these are no fewer in number than the dimensional spaces. Moreover, it is on the divine planes that god-tier powerhouses gather. So, how many god-tier powerhouses are there in this world? It is likely in the trillions!
Only after arriving in the Tianyun Dimensional Space did Huang Long realize the weakness of his current strength. Indeed, with his current cultivation level, he is arguably the strongest in the Hengyuan Plane aside from the Plane Guardian You Lai. But in this world, he is merely an ant that is slightly stronger.
“The Immortal Realm!” Huang Long thought to himself.
He had decided that upon returning, he would seclude himself and not emerge until he achieved the Immortal Realm.
While Huang Long and his companions were on their way to the Scarlet Flame Star, some unrest arose in the Tianyun Dimensional Space. Jeffrey, the son of the domain lord of the Crystal Star Domain, Darnell, had been captured!
Although this incident was kept secret, with Brady and others in the Crystal Star Domain suppressing any leaks, it was still discovered by some curious individuals.
Darnell, the ruler of theglass Star Domain, a god-tier powerhouse in the Tianyun Dimensional Space, along with the ruler of the Red Flame Star Domain and the ruler of thetheYoukong Star Domain Star Domain, are among the three supreme rulers of the Tianyun Dimensional Space—even the Realm King of this space has to show them respect. Yet now, someone has captured his son, Jeffrey!
Amazing! No one could believe it!
Immediately, several major forces in the Tianyun Dimensional Space that heard the news began to inquire about who dared to capture Jeffrey, the son of Darnell, the ruler of theglass Star Domain.
In the vast starry expanse of the Tianyun Dimensional Space, in the southeastern region, lies theglass Star Domain.
Inside the domain palace of theglass Star, Brady stood trembling before a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had green eyes, long red hair that cascaded over his shoulders, and exuded an intimidating aura of dominance.
“Brady,” the man’s deep voice rang out, causing the surrounding space to seem to tremble.
“Yes, Lord Domain Master!” Brady trembled and quickly replied.
This middle-aged man was none other than Darnell, the ruler of theglass Star Domain.
Darnell snorted coldly, his green eyes flashing. Brady was startled and stepped back a few steps, trembling as he said, “Lord Domain Master, I failed in my task. I am willing to accept punishment!”
“Failed in your task?! Brady, you’ve been with me for over a thousand years—you know my temper!” A green flame appeared between Darnell’s hands. Seeing it, Brady’s face turned pale, and he trembled all over.
“Don’t disappoint me again!” Suddenly, just as Brady looked desperate, Darnell spoke, and the green flame disappeared.
“Yes, Lord Domain Master. Please rest assured, I will definitely rescue the young clan leader!” Brady, who had just gone through hell, quickly replied, his fear still evident on his face.
“You don’t need to worry about this anymore!” Darnell waved his hand.
Brady was stunned and looked at Darnell in confusion.
“You said there were five of them, and two of them were from the Phoenix Clan? And not among the powerful beings of the Phoenix Star Domain’s palace?” Darnell asked.
The Phoenix Star Domain was one of the dozen-plus star domains in the Tianyun Dimensional Space. Although its strength wasn’t as great as that of theglass Star Domain, it was still formidable, and its ruler was from the Phoenix Clan.
Brady quickly replied respectfully, “Yes, Lord Domain Master. I’m sure those two aren’t from the Phoenix Star Domain’s palace!”
“So they must be from another dimensional space or realm?” Darnell’s eyes sparkled.
“What are you thinking, Lord Domain Master?” Brady watched Darnell carefully.
“If outsiders come from other dimensions, the Realm King will be very interested. Pass the message to the people in the Realm King’s palace,” Darnell said, his expression dark.
“Yes, Lord Domain Master!” Brady said, then asked in a low voice, “But what about the Young Clan Leader?”
“A good-for-nothing! More of a hindrance than a help! There’s no need to waste time on him! You must retrieve that item for me!” Darnell snapped angrily.
“Yes, Lord Domain Master!” Brady quickly replied respectfully.
“Retire,” Darnell waved his hand.
Brady replied respectfully and left, sighing to himself. It seemed that Young Clan Leader Jeffrey was about to be abandoned by the Lord Domain Master.
Among the twenty-odd young clan leaders of theglass Fire Beast clan, Jeffrey had always been the least favored by the Lord Domain Master. This time, he had acted on his own, ruining everything and causing the original plan to fail, so that item could not be obtained. No wonder the Lord Domain Master was angry.
Watching Brady leave, Darnell’s expression darkened. “Even if that good-for-nothing is useless, for some outsider from outside the domain to dare to touch my people in theglass Domain Palace… hehe!”
“Black Magic!” Darnell called out into the void.
“Here, Lord Domain Master!” The air in the void twisted, and a tall figure enveloped in black mist, with blood-red eyes, appeared.
“You heard what happened just now. Go to the Red Flame Star Domain. No matter what the King of Worlds does to those people, you must bring their heads back to me!” Darnell ordered coldly.
Although there were five of them, Darnell wasn’t worried that Black Magic would fail. Because even he, a lower-tier god, would find it hard to escape Black Magic’s assassination if caught off guard.
“Yes!” The space twisted again, and the tall figure wrapped in black mist disappeared.
In the Tianyun Dimensional Space, amidst the vast starry sky, floated a huge landmass, about five times the size of the Hengyuan Plane. Nebulae surrounded this land, with stars shining within them and spiritual energy flowing. Even thousands of miles away, one could feel the spiritual energy rushing towards them. From afar, it resembled an ancient and mysterious dreamlike celestial body.
This was the center of the Tianyun Dimensional Space—the King of Worlds Star Domain. The entire domain consisted of just one floating continent. At the center of this continent stood a thousand-foot-high peak—the Tianyun Peak.
Surrounding the Tianyun Peak were continuous mountains, atop which lay cities. The palace of the King of Worlds in the Tianyun Dimensional Space was located on the summit of this peak.
On the summit of the Tianyun Peak, for miles around, one could see squads of King of Worlds soldiers in their battle robes patrolling—no less than a million of them.
Above the peak, nebulas drifted, and strange beasts appeared.
These exotic beasts are all from the Holy Realm, with some even reaching the Divine Realm. They can take human form and emit powerful auras, making anyone who approaches them feel a sense of awe.
This continent has no distinction between day and night; only faint starlight fills the sky. The entire continent appears rather dark.
The Kingdom Palace is built around a small planet, glowing with starlight. Below the main hall of the Kingdom Palace, Lei Zhe frowned as he read the secret report in his hands and asked the two elders in front of him, “Was this message sent by the Liuli Domain Palace?”
The two elders standing in front of Lei Zhe replied respectfully, “Yes, Lord Lei Zhe!”
Lei Zhe is the second most powerful figure in the Kingdom Palace, in charge of all affairs there—essentially the palace’s chief administrator.
The two elders are brothers, Gai Li and Gai Wen, both powerful warriors in the Kingdom Palace, having reached the peak of the Divine Realm.
Lei Zhe’s eyes flickered, and thunderclouds gathered around him. “Are there any other messages?”
“Your subordinate found out that Brady and the others from the Liuli Domain Palace were originally on some secret mission. For some reason, they appeared, and something happened—Jeffrey, the thirteenth son of Darnell, was captured by one of them,” said Gai Li.
“Oh!” Lei Zhe turned, his face showing surprise.
Brady’s strength is no less than that of Gai Li and Gai Wen. How could someone capture their young clan leader and escape?
“Have you found any information about these outsiders?” Lei Zhe asked, showing interest in them.
“Well, not specifically. We only know that two of them are from the Phoenix clan—one is a Red-Eyed Aquaman, and the other two seem to be rare dragonmen,” said Gai Wen, hesitating slightly when mentioning the two dragonmen.
“Dragonmen?” Lei Zhe noticed Gai Wen’s expression and asked doubtfully.
“It is said that when one of them takes on his dragonman form, it’s different from ordinary dragonmen. Dragonmen have a horn, but he doesn’t. It was he who captured Jeffrey,” explained Gai Wen.
“Could it be a mutated dragonman?” added Gai Li.
“That’s possible too,” Lei Zhe mused for a moment before nodding, his eyes narrowing. “Someone who could capture Jeffrey from Brady’s grasp and escape—I’m quite interested in him!” As he spoke, a fanatical glint appeared in Lei Zhe’s eyes, and his fighting spirit surged.
Seeing the fanatical fighting spirit in Lei Zhe’s eyes, Gai Li and Gai Wen shuddered and stepped back. Lei Zhe is a battle fanatic, and over the years, the two brothers had suffered greatly at his hands.
“So, what does Lord Lei Zhe intend to do?” Gai Li asked cautiously.
“This… The King of Worlds is not in Tianyun; he has gone to Guanyuan. Let’s not take any action for now. Keep a close eye on these people’s movements and wait until the King of Worlds returns before deciding what to do.” At that moment, Lei Zhe’s fighting spirit subsided as it retreated inward, and he spoke calmly.
