In the battle against the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame that year, their battle had ended with both parties receiving injuries even though his heaven flames had joined hands. They had used a lot of Shi Yan's soul energy but they couldn't subdue the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. They could only expel it into the chaotic space basin.
It has been years and Shi Yan's expertise in space mysteries had progressed much. Also, his realm had reached the King God Realm with the God Body and God Soul. The heaven flames had advanced thanks to his achievement.
Today, the seven parts of the banished blue flame had been gathered. They combined with each other in Shi Yan's soul altar. The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame began its new life.
Shi Yan was floating near a turbulent space crack. He squinted while using his soul to connect to the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
His heaven flames surrounded the blue flame of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame and released their energy waves with different auras to communicate with it.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame had been hurt and detained in outer space for so many years. When it was able to gather within his soul again, its pugnacious nature burst out. He tried to subdue and melt the heaven flames in the soul altar to increase his power. Unfortunately, times have changed. His evil deed wasn't favored anymore. The strange energies of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Yin Ghost Flame, and the Vermilion Bird True Flame flooded over, pressing the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's refined lightning strikes down and confining it to the soul altar.
The Earth Flame, Ice Cold Flame, and Corpse Vanishing Flame also released their energies. The extremely cold energy, flaming energy, and gloomy, freezing soul energy twisted and entangled each lightning strike. They had bound the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame tightly it couldn't wiggle.
"You don't have another choice. Stay obedient or you will be destroyed!" Shi Yan sent his thought, his face cold and harsh. His Sea of Consciousness rippled slightly and an energy that could destroy any creature ran directly into the deep place in the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame's soul.
The Dead Upanishad was activated. The destructive energy lashed around the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame as the soul altar was spinning.
At this moment, Shi Yan had a deep understanding of his powers Upanishad through his various fighting experiences. It wasn't difficult to deal with the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. He didn't think that the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame could do anything malignant to him and the other heaven flames.
He didn't even need to take action. The heaven flames were enough to finish off the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, holding it from running away.
"Haha, I'm interested in absorbing you. Do you want me to try it?" the Yin Ghost Flame was excitedly brutal. He continually threatened the blue flame. It looked like he just needed a nod from Shi Yan to attack.
Although the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame was a level 5 heaven flame, after this exile, its energy had been consumed a lot. If he dared to fight the Yin Ghost Flame recklessly, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame still wouldn't dodge his fate of being absorbed.
Soon, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame recognized its terrible situation. Under Shi Yan's threat and other stirred up heaven flames, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame eventually gave up. It obediently connected its soul seal to the heaven flame tier of the soul altar, turning into a blue flame, which changed the heaven flames tier one more time.
Shi Yan squinted and felt them for a while. Until he saw that the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame had settled down, he did not withdraw his Soul Consciousness. Afterward, he released his Soul Consciousness, making his God Soul clear and calm to feel and study the mysterious movement of the surrounding space.
Feng Rao didn't disturb him. She had busied herself with her pellets and divine crystals to restore her power.
During this time of taking in supplement energy, she almost fully restored her previously consumed powers. At the same time, her realm was strengthened a little bit further. Just like Shi Yan, she started to comprehend her power Upanishad to further understand its mysteries.
Even though the Soul Sucking Demonic Flower had taken energy from Qi from Bao Ao, Jie Ji, and Bo Ruo periodically, with the vitality they got from Shi Yan, they were still fine. Their life magnetic field was stable. During this short period, they wouldn't die from lack of vitality.
This group of people cultivated ascetically and quietly in the center of the foreign Milky Way. They didn't notice the changes in the world out there.
The abandoned mineral star was shattered. Massive caverns pierced through it from one side to the other side.
The fight between the Bloody Chief Skull pirates and the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce had occurred over three months ago. Fragments of battleships scattered around the mineral star with broken war chariots and human limbs. With just a single glance, one would witness a fierce battle.
A massive blue topaz battleship emerged from the dark, landing on the mineral star.
A lanky but handsome silhouette flashed, flying one round above the mineral star, releasing his Soul Consciousness to cover all corners of this planet.
At the same time, two more silhouettes flew out from the battleship, searching among the shattered corpses for something. Not long after that, the first silhouette came back to the battleship, frowning.
"Sir Carthew, did you find something?" A charming figure emerged from the cabin of the ship. She was wearing a dress decorated with pieces of twinkling crystals. Her beauty was utterly unparalleled.
It was Princess Zi Yao.
Ao Gera appeared next to her. He stooped slightly, gladly following her like he was her most humble servant.
"Sir, we found nothing," Yalan returned, bowing to greet Carthew then said, "There's one area with clear signs of space power movement."
Carthew's eyes brightened. He dashed away immediately in the direction Yalan had just pointed.
He appeared at the place where Shi Yan had triggered the Empty Fantasy Crystal. Carthew extended his slender left hand into the air. He frowned but he was amazed.
Zi Yao silently appeared next to him. Strange light rippled from her beautiful eyes. She stared at that area, lowered her voice and repeated, "Sir Carthew, did you find something?"
"It is the vestige of space power. It also borrowed energy from the Empty Fantasy Crystal..." Carthew nodded, turning around to face her. Seeing that Ao Gera didn't come here, he lowered his voice, "But I'm not sure if it was that boy."
"Not many people know how to use space power. Within the past one hundred years, there is no such person." Zi Yao's eyes sparkled as she balls her fists. "It must be him!"
Carthew just smiled, not voicing his opinions. "That is a possibility."
"How was that fight?" Zi Yao's mood was in a good mood, smiling deliberately. "Sir Carthew, you are familiar with the Land of God Punishment and you have some men in the pirates' organizations. You should know about that fight right?"
"Fan Ye was defeated in the battle against Russell. He got hurt and ran away. His crew was damaged badly. The materials they were transporting from the Underworld League were all robbed. However, one giant chunk of Empty Fantasy Crystal went missing. From my intelligence, the one using space power took it," Carthew explained. "Your Highness, he is just one member of your escort, is he worth changing your journey's schedule to check out whether he's alive or not?"
Carthew was escorting Princess Zi Yao to the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce. As they had gone halfway, Carthew got the news that a fierce battle occurred here and that someone had used space power.
When he told her this information, Zi Yao was shaken. She didn't explain anything but wanted to change her plans to check this place. Carthew couldn't persuade her. He followed her suspiciously.
"He saved me," replied Zi Yao seriously. "It is that simple?" Carthew smiled, "As far as I've concerned, he was not the only person to have saved you right? Many of your troopers have saved you in critical moments. Why did you not care about them?"
Zi Yao gritted her teeth, rolling her eyes at him. She let out a light snort and gave no answer.
Carthew laughed, but he didn't ask further. "Your Highness, don't worry. I've sent people to gather information. Yes, they will try to blend in and ask Bloody Chief Skull pirates about his presence by using a drawing of him. If it were him, we will soon find a result."
Zi Yao's beautiful eyes shone radiantly. She slightly bent her soft waist. "Thank you, Uncle Carthew."
"Haha, you've called me Sir Carthew but in just one moment, I became your Uncle. You're a manipulative little girl," Carthew smiled, shaking his head.
Foreign Milky Way.
Countless space slits packed the area. Chaotic space energy flew out from each space slit with glorious five-colored lights.
Shi Yan moved between the space cracks, flashing on and off. Flows of Soul Consciousness flew like snakes inside the layers of space. A fierce soul energy wave was generated from his location.
Then, space energy became clearly visible in countless space slits. They lashed around Shi Yan like tens of thousands of invisible ropes.
Feng Rao shot up from her recovery process. Light shot out from her eyes as she gazed at the space slits over the Milky Way. She gawked. Astonishment filled her exquisite face.
Bao Ao, Jie Ji, and Bo Ruo tied by the Soul Sucking Demonic Flower also had their eyes brightened. They lifted their heads looking at the space slits.
Shi Yan's God Body was bound by space energy. His soul altar had flown out of his God Body, shaking as if it had been whipped.
Space energy was dense in the soul altar tier of powers Upanishad. Looking at his soul altar, they saw the fine and thick space slits where space energy waves rippled fiercely.
Shi Yan's God Body looked calm and peaceful with its eyes closed. It seemed like he didn't realize what was happening around him. He stayed still.
However, the God Soul, which was a replica of himself, was on top of the soul altar and had its eyes open. Fine cracks were visible in his eyes, which was the sign of space power.
Space restraining power overflowed from his God Soul, covering lots of space. It seemed to freeze the surrounding space slits.
Boom!
The soul altar suddenly shook. The power Upanishad tier flew out, swaying like a shuttle through the space slits to absorb the energy in there.
Countless lights gathered at the power Upanishad tier. Shi Yan's God Soul bobbed, floating above the power Upanishad tier as if he condensed the generated space energy and fused it with his Soul Consciousness.
Soon after, Shi Yan's God Soul stopped shaking. It shrank and left the power Upanishad tier. It returned to the top tier, and the soul altar flew back to his God Body.
Space movement slowly calmed down.
Feng Rao gazed at him for a long time. Her succulent red lips parted as she whispered. "Breakthrough. It is now the Second Sky of King God Realm, but he made the transition smooth enough."
Bao Ao, Jie Ji, and Bo Ruo had their eyes brightened. They were extremely excited.
