Spirit Realm

In the turbulent flows of an unknown realm.

Rays of flowing light flashed causing explosions and releasing astoundingly clear ripples of energy. 

Qin Hao sat silently on his nine-level Soul Altar and moved through the flowing light. His soul rippled in waves and searched the spatial cracks nearby.

He did not know how long he had been adrift.

Since the day Tian Qi threw him into some random place, he had been searching for a path back to Spirit Realm.

Unfortunately, he wasn't an expert skilled in spatial power and his understanding of the spatial laws was very shallow.

He could only do his best to search for any method that could lead him away from this place.

"Poof poof!"

Two light blue flowing lights hit his nine-level Soul Altar and caused it to sway violently.

The power from the flowing lights let him know that if an early Genesis Realm expert with a seven-level Soul Altar was hit by such an attack, the Soul Altar would collapse.

And he, stranded in this unknown place, was attacked by such attacks every once in a while.

Fortunately, he was strong enough and his nine-level Soul Altar was sturdy enough.

"I wonder what the situation of Spirit Realm is like..."

He thought. He guessed the shadow beings would have broken through the defenses and were rampaging through the beings of Spirit Realm.

He urgently wanted to return.

A dot of light suddenly flashed in this strange place. The fire grew bigger and then started to burn.

A terrifying flame fluctuation that could burn everything came out of the growing flame. It turned the nearby flowing lights into ash.

Qin Hao’s nine-level Soul Altar suddenly stabilized among the dangerous flowing lights.

He looked coldly at the burning flame.

In its center, a blurry figure grew clearer and clearer.

Five seconds later, a fiery shadow walked out of the flames and turned into a tall and mighty old person.

Flowing fire sparked out of the old man's body. The old man was like a constantly erupting volcano.

"Qin Hao, long time no see."

The old man's fiery red hair moved like tongues of flame. His crimson red eyes were like two small burning suns.

The fire that his body released seemed able to burn the stars.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Many flowing lights that had been flying towards this place suddenly changed their paths after the old man appeared and flew away.

It seemed even these flowing lights feared the old man's power.

"Lieyan Yuan!" Qin Hao snorted.

"You have no respect for your elders!" The old man said coldly with a dark expression. "No matter what, I am your father-in-law. You treat your elders like this?"

"Elder?" Qin Hao grinned. "You tell me. Did you not set me up to come here with Tian Qi?"

Lieyan Yuan, who had already become the God King of the God Race, had an easy-going expression. "Yes, I communicated with Tian Qi. He only ambushed you after receiving my permission to bring you here."

"Then why do you expect me to respect you?" Qin Hao said ironically.

"I am Qin Lie's grandfather," Lieyan Yuan snorted.

"He will not acknowledge you," Qin Hao said coldly.

"He will. He will accept me as his grandfather in the future." Lieyan Yuan laughed strangely. "Qin Hao, if you promise me you will ignore Castor's other six avatars, not block his path and call me father-in-law, I will release you back into Spirit Realm. How about it?"

"When Castor becomes the Abyss Master once again, his first target will be Lie'er!" Qin Lie said angrily.

"He cannot succeed." Lieyan Yuan twisted his mouth. "Don't worry, he is just a pawn for Tian Qi and I."

"What do you want to do?" Qin Hao said gravely.

"Enter the ultimate realm to become equal to the Imperial Soul Monarch and become eternal in the universe," Lieyan Yuan said calmly.

"You and Tian Qi all want to be on the same level as the Imperial Soul Monarch and fight him?" Qin Hao frowned.

"More accurately, I want to replace him and become the only one," Lieyan Yuan said without hesitation.

"Poof!"

At this time, another dot of light flashed. The Great Sage Tian Qi of the Spirit Race mysteriously appeared.

"Tian Qi!" Qin Hao shouted angrily.

Tian Qi smiled slightly and nodded. "Lieyan Yuan, your son-in-law is very powerful. You have good judgement."

"Boom!"

A ray of divine light suddenly shot out of Qin Hao's nine-level Soul Altar and charged towards Tian Qi.

Tian Qi waved the Scepter of Fate and pointed at empty space. Thousands of spatial locks were formed.

Qin Hao's pillar of divine light bounced between the criss-crossing spatial barriers like a giant dragon. It was unable to touch Tian Qi.

"Do not waste power. This is the most unique spatial rift in the galaxy. And I... other than your father-in-law, am the most skilled in spatial power." Tian Qi said mischievously with a smile. "I can enter and leave as I please, but you cannot. There is no power for you to absorb here. If you use up your power and cannot leave, you can never replenish your power. Even you, if you are unable to leave this place for tens of thousands of years, will use up your power and die."

"He is correct. You are no match for us here." Lieyan Yuan had a cold expression. He thought and said, "If my grandson's main body becomes a Devil Monarch and his bloodline reaches rank ten, he may be able to fight us here with the ultimate spatial treasure, the Galaxy Mirror.”

"Why have the two of you suddenly appeared?" Qin Hao quickly calmed.

He seemed to understand that he could not easily win fighting these two existences most skilled in spatial power in this special land.

These two were the two strongest after the Imperial Soul Monarch.

Even in the outside world, he didn't even have a thirty percent chance of victory.

In this place… it was even less likely.

"The shadow beings have entered Spirit Realm in large numbers. They are consuming realms in the regions of the Winged Race, the Bone Race, and Spirit Realm." Tian Qi's expression grew serious. He looked deeply at Qin Hao. "I communicated with the shadow beings. They repeatedly bring up your name. They say... you stole the Light of Destruction from them?"

Qin Hao frowned.

"You really brought the Light of Destruction from the Dark Shadow World?" Lieyan Yuan said in shock.

Tian Qi and Lieyan Yuan had gone to the Dark Shadow World before and successfully walked out alive.

They knew the uniqueness of the shadow beings better than anyone else in the world and knew some secrets about the Dark Shadow World.

"This should be correct." Tian Qi thought for a moment and said, "In Nine Hells Purgatory, he seemed to have used the power of destruction to subdue Assad of my race."

Lieyan Yuan's eyes lit up. He said, "Qin Hao, give me the Light of Destruction. I promise you that when I enter the ultimate realm, I will have Qin Lie ascend the throne of the God King."
