Eastward of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
The Sealed Land.
No one expected that the secret realms entered by the Hong family, Chu family, Wang family, and Dian Wei were a false one, and the place where the Candle Dragon’s primordial spirit was sealed was not here.
The Chu family and the Hong family joined forces, slaying all the ancient family creatures. On the outer perimeter of the secret realm's center, they engaged in a bloody battle with the Wang family and Dian Wei.
The reincarnated supreme, Wang Zhuo of the Wang family, and Xia Xinyu made their move, finishing the battle in a few breaths. No one could have predicted that of the remaining three battlefields, Dian Wei would emerge victorious first, marking the peak battle of the young generation of supreme beings in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces!
Dian Wei, a human from the Western Frontier, suppressed the peerless prodigy Chu Fan of the Chu family. Following Chu Sheng, another peerless being met his end at Dian Wei’s hands. Blood splattered in the void, and a pair of crimson Vermillion Bird twin halberds dripped with divine blood. Dian Wei emerged from the blood mist with a calm expression, like an immortal Buddha, looking down upon the world.
This battle ended first with Dian Wei. At this moment, Wang Yunxuan and Wang Le of the Wang family, and Hong Feiyang and Hong Yixiu of the Hong family, who were entangled with them, were stunned. Chu Fan, the monstrous prodigy of the Chu family, who was their near equal, had met such a bleak end, with blood mist scattering. It was truly tragic!
Dian Wei put away the Vermillion Bird twin halberds and sat cross-legged in the void, his divine power almost depleted from the battle with Chu Fan. At the same time, Wang Yunxuan and Wang Le launched an assault on the two from the Hong family. Both battlefields were filled with immense divine power and radiant light. As for the other creatures that followed the Hong and Chu families, they had long since been bathed in blood, their bodies strewn across the ground.
Wang Yunxuan’s divine power was immense. As Chu Feiyang was in shock, he unleashed a full-power strike. His formidable vitality nurtured his physical body, and a vast halberd swept out.
“Ah…”
The halberd strike landed on Hong Feiyang’s head, causing him to cry out in pain. The two had been fighting fiercely until now, their divine powers largely exhausted, and their physical bodies greatly damaged. This halberd strike was a fatal blow.
With a deafening roar, his head shattered. Wang Yunxuan pressed his attack relentlessly, giving the nascent spirit emerging from the shattered head no chance. The halberd tore through Chu Feiyang’s body, but this strike did not completely finish him.
Meanwhile, Wang Le severed one of Hong Yixiu’s arms. Blood splattered before his eyes, instantly drenching his clothes. As the armor on Hong Yixiu’s body was torn open, a divine light shot out from his chest, nearly blinding Wang Le. This was no ordinary divine light; it was likely a trump card given to Hong Yixiu by a high-ranking member of the Hong family.
“Wang Le, you’re still far from killing me. The Heart-Protecting Mirror I wear was forged by an elder of my main lineage, and it can shatter all your attacks!”
At this moment, Hong Yixiu’s long hair was disheveled, and he roared incessantly.
Dian Wei was awakened by the clamor. He observed both battlefields. If he, Xia Xinyu, Long Qie, and a few others had not intervened, the Wang family would have faced a dire fate, perhaps even annihilation like the Gu family. However, with their interference, the plans of the Chu and Hong families were in ruins. In Dian Wei’s eyes, Hong Feiyang and Hong Yixiu of the Hong family were like candles in the wind, on the verge of extinction.
Dian Wei stood up and scanned the surroundings. He did not see Xia Xinyu, Long Qie, and Yang Youji. With their combined strength, defeating ordinary supreme beings would take mere moments. Where had they gone?
The current secret realm was merely a deception created by the Immortal Lord, not the true place where the Candle Dragon’s primordial spirit was sealed. The Immortal Lord would not leave many traces in this secret realm. Where would they have gone?
After scanning the area with no results, Dian Wei glanced at the two battlefields and then sped towards the depths. After about half an hour, he saw the figures of Long Qie and Yang Youji.
“General Dian!”
Long Qie and Yang Youji smiled at Dian Wei.
“Where has Xia Xinyu gone?”
Dian Wei asked.
“We don’t know either. We were together earlier, but after Wang Zhuo arrived, they both headed west, saying they were looking for traces of the Immortal Lord!” Yang Youji shook his head.
“Miss Xia entered this place not for the Candle Dragon’s primordial spirit, nor for any elixirs, but to find information on how to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Although we’ve stumbled into a false realm, it was still created by the Immortal Lord, so there should be some useful information here,” Long Qie said gravely.
“It’s difficult. This is just a facade. Does the Immortal Lord have that much free time to waste here?” Yang Youji shook his head again.
“We cannot say that. Who is the Immortal Lord? He is a figure who stood at the pinnacle of the previous era. Now he has ascended to the Immortal Realm. For such an immortal being to suppress the Candle Dragon’s primordial spirit, he would still need to create a false secret realm to deceive the world!” Dian Wei said, looking at Long Qie’s solemn expression.
He had not intended to think so deeply, but seeing Long Qie’s serious demeanor, he deeply felt that this secret realm was not as simple as it appeared.
“Let’s go, let’s follow them. Then we’ll know everything!”
Yang Youji stepped forward and headed in the direction Xia Xinyu and Wang Zhuo had gone.
About an hour later, the three arrived at the foot of a mountain. The rocks blocking their path revealed a blue light ring, rippling with dense spiritual energy.
“This is a void passage. It seems Miss Xia and Wang Zhuo must have entered here!” Yang Youji said, looking at the blue light ring.
“Since entering this secret realm, this is the first void passage we have encountered so far. I feel that all information about this secret realm has been hidden here by the Immortal Lord,” Long Qie said softly. He raised his eyes and looked at the giant mountain before them.
This mountain stood out conspicuously in this secret realm. It was not covered by forests, nor were there any creatures inhabiting it. There was only spiritual energy that had vaporized into mist. Approximately halfway up the mountain, one could no longer see through. The mist-like spiritual energy was very dense, obscuring the upper part of the mountain.
“The two beings from the Wang family have arrived. It seems Hong Feiyang and Hong Yixiu of the Hong family have been dealt with!”
At this moment, Dian Wei turned around and saw Wang Yunxuan and Wang Le of the Wang family. Their faces were pale, and the wounds on their bodies would take a considerable time to heal even with the aid of spiritual elixirs and precious medicines.
“You’ve arrived just in time. Wang Zhuo of your Wang family should have entered here. Do you have any objections?” Long Qie asked.
“This secret realm contains no useful information. The only extraordinary place is the blue light ring before us. Do we have any other choice?” Wang Yunxuan said with a bitter smile.
“Since that is the case, let’s go then!”
