Shi Yan's soul altar was apparently different from the others. His soul altar also had three tiers. However, the second tier was divided into three sections.
Star, Space, and Death and Life power Upanishads were circulating in one section, while the other section held several heaven flames, which had formed a real shape. The last section was a dark place that looked like a black hole. No aura or energy fluctuation was detected there, giving people an inexplicably mysterious feeling.
Shi Yan's God Soul was floating above the soul altar. At this moment, his God Soul had turned into a hollow figure of himself. A miniature version of him, around ten times smaller, was sitting neatly like a gloomy shadow on the soul altar of powers Upanishad, heaven flames, and something mysterious.
The shadow of his God Soul was as faint as a ghost. A magical mark appeared in its glabella.
It was a scarlet mark created by five clusters of blood clouds.
This mark used to appear right at his glabella. When he had condensed the mysterious section of the soul altar, that blood-cloud mark, the Inner World Five Devils, and the Soul Gathering Pearl had fused into one, as the mark disappeared from his glabella. Together, they created the mysterious section in his soul altar.
Turned out that the mark had never disappeared, but imprinted in his God Soul as the prominent mark on his God Soul's forehead.
Five clusters of blood clouds arrayed in a pentagon, which looked like an evil, peculiar sea of blood, portrayed deep in his God Soul.
What the woman in black was gazing at was the scarlet mark on Shi Yan's God Soul. Her dark green eyes showed a complicated emotion, as she was immersing in some perplexing memories.
Shi Yan didn't dare to act rashly. He could feel an energy aura from this woman which made his soul feel empty. He believed that if she wanted to kill him, it would be like a piece of cake.
Shi Yan didn't know of the mark's existence on the forehead of his God Soul or the fact that the woman in black was gazing at that scarlet mark.
After a while, the mysterious woman in black seemed to wake up. She looked at him strangely. "Where are you from?"
Shi Yan was surprised. He was baffled for a while before sending his soul thought. "Can I return to my body first?"
"Do you think you can use your body again?" The woman in black curled her lips, her face mocking. "Even if it's the God Body of a King God Realm warrior, with such damages, it will never be recovered fully. Can you do that?"
"Yes," Shi Yan sent his soul thought.
His Soul Consciousness flickered. Shi Yan found that the force subduing his soul altar had retreated like the low tide. He gained control of his soul altar again.
The soul altar floated and turned into a bunch of lights, disappearing into his body.
Shi Yan opened his eyes, feeling the utmost pain in his body. He lied on his one side in the void, floating and trying to lift his head to look at the woman in black. He squeezed a forced smile. "I didn't want to hurt you guys."
Nodding her head, the woman in black regarded him indifferently. "I can see that. You know nothing. The other wanted to make you a sacrificial pawn. That person didn't want to spare your life."
Shi Yan's eyes were cold, as rage was rolling in his heart.
He could confirm that the one who had touched this amethyst war chariot could estimate precisely that he would stop by the Moon Star. Also, that one knew the woman in black would pass by this area. That stealthy person had installed something terrible in his war chariot and triggered it.
That person's purpose was to kill him and damage that woman's battleships at the same time.
This was absolutely a big wild scheme. Someone was having so many plans to set him up and that woman in black.
"First, if it happened as what the other had planned," the woman in black was still calm, "if the Dark Magnetic Deadly Explosion had completely burst off, you would have died. Nothing could have been left remaining. Some of my battleships would be crushed, and I would have some big trouble. Since you've come using the amethyst war chariot, the chariot of Princess Zi Yao, I would pour this debt on Zi Yao, making her pay a big price for it..." Shi Yan nodded, but his neck was torn painfully. "Yeah, someone wants to trigger the grudge between you and Princess Zi Yao, making you and her stand on the opposite sides, which would make you take revenge on her."
"Who is that?" The woman in black mumbled, then asked all of a sudden. "Who are you? Where are you from? How do you relate to Zi Yao? Why did you come here?'
The woman in black seemed to be concerned about Shi Yan's identity more. A gleam of surprise crossed her green eyes.
"Ah..." Shi Yan was bewildered. He arranged his thoughts and then answered. "I'm from a low-level continent. I've been a member of Princess Zi Yao's cortege not for a long time. I'm holding the Purgatory Token Princess granted me. I'm going to the Extreme Purgatory Field to train myself. My name is Shi Yan."
"A low-level continent?" A strange light sparkled from her eyes. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure," Shi Yan nodded. "In my continent, the strongest warriors are only at the True God Realm. Before, I came to the Raging Flame Star Area, I had never left my continent. As I've gotten here, I got to know so many mysteries of the vast universe."
The woman in black looked at him for a while but didn't say anything. After a long time of staying quiet, she groaned something in her throat. Shi Yan couldn't hear it.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't want to see this, either." Shi Yan tried to move his limbs in pain. He suddenly felt his body recovery starting again. His broken tendons and vessels slightly moved, as they were about to be connected.
The woman in black got lost in her thoughts, not paying attention to his body condition. After a while, she spoke up again. "Who do you suspect?"
"A man called Ao Gera. I heard... he's Ao Gu Duo's nephew. Ao Gu Dou favors him a lot. The Purgatory Token in my hand was supposed to be his. Perhaps he has a grudge because of it. He wants to kill me," Shi Yan answered without any hesitation.
This is his assumption, and he believed it was the truth.
He asked himself who he had provoked in the Glorious Amethyst Star. He didn't feel wicked intentions from anybody else but Ao Gera.
"Ao Gera, Ao Gu Duo's nephew..." The woman in black mumbled. Her dark green eyes sparkled as she harrumphed coldly. "This kid doesn't treasure his life."
Shi Yan was scared. He could feel the brutal murderous intentions of this woman. Her murderous thought seemed to be as real as a fire that could burn everything.
He suddenly realized that Ao Gera had caused a big trouble.
"You must have had a marvelous encounter, right?" The woman in black pondered for a while and then asked suddenly. "Your God Soul has a scarlet mark on the glabella. Where did you get that magical mark?" Her eyes became evilly sharp, as if Shi Yan had to give her a proper answer, or she would kill him brutally. She would never give him the second chance.
Shi Yan was baffled.
After a while, he condensed a beam of Soul Consciousness and found the mark, which had disappeared before, on his glabella. However, this strange mark faded, and was about to disappear after the soul altar returned to the Sea of Consciousness.
"I got it in our continent. Because of my special cultivating method, I didn't know I had it. Until now, I don't even know what it is. I don't know what it can do and what it represents." Pausing for a while, he looked at the woman in black without blinking. He vaguely realized that the reason why this woman hadn't killed him yet could be because of the mark. He should try to ask for more information.
The woman in black didn't answer. She still gazed at him, as if she wanted to detect whether he was lying to her or not.
Shi Yan didn't dare to look around. He contemplated while looking at her, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, the woman snorted. "You're lucky today."
Afterward, she didn't pay attention to Shi Yan anymore, flying away suddenly. When she approached her subordinates, she shouted. "He's going to the Extreme Purgatory Field. You take him with us. Put him in prison."
The buff man at the Third Sky of King God Realm in heavy dark armor slightly changed his visage. "Ma'am, he almost destroyed us all..."
"Hmm?" The woman in black frowned.
The husky man in black armor shut his mouth. He flew over and dragged Shi Yan with him into the leading bone battleship. He threw him into a dark cell, speaking ruthlessly. "Kid, although I don't know why my boss didn't torture you to death, you won't live for long. As soon as my boss changes her mind, I will make you taste all kinds of extreme tortures in this world. I will take revenge for my brothers."
This cell had no light, so it was completely dark, such that Shi Yan couldn't even see his own fingers. The cell was protected by a fierce energy magnetic field. It looked like if Shi Yan touched it, it would blow him off instantly.
"Hey, can I ask something? Who are you guys?" Shi Yan asked while frowning in the dark cell.
"Bloody Legion of Ma'am Leona," The man in black armor harrumphed. He disappeared shortly, leaving no other words.
Shi Yan lay defenselessly in the dark cell. His face changed dramatically as a respectful feeling arose in his heart.
Bloody Legion, Ma'am Leona...
He knew the other's identity now.
The Dark Firmament Divine Nation had five great feudal vassals ruling different areas. They were quite powerful, as they were the extreme Five under Du Tian Ji.
The five great feudal vassals were all mighty, expanding the territory of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. They were the legends, the formidable existences at the Original God Realm.
Only one woman stayed in that group of five, and the Blood Legion was under her command. In the Raging Flame Star Area, they had caused so many bloody cases. Compared to Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo, they were much more savage. They had destroyed so many life stars.
The evil reputation of this woman echoed around the Raging Flame Star Area. Even the Underworld League and the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce didn't dare to fight face to face with her.
Du Tian Ji trusted her a lot. She had more of his favors than the other princes and princesses. She was a bloody saber of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, which could slaughter everywhere.
This woman was called Leona, the 'Bloody Night Brutal Devil' female butcher, the leader of the five great feudal vassals.
