Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1377: Phantom Race

The Mighty God Race had been the most powerful race during the Primordial Age; the Mighty God Technique could elevate one’s body and strength. The most powerful formidable martial artists of the Mighty God Race back then were unbeatable; even if they stood still, they could not be killed.

It was precisely because the Mighty God Race was so overbearing that a few hundred powerful races and clans had joined forces after that and eliminated this race during the Ancient Age.

Jiang Yi had read up on this before. Over so many years, there had not been any discovery of remnants from the Mighty God Race. If any of them were still alive—with such distinct characteristics, they should have been detected right away.

Jiang Yi muttered to himself, slightly confused, and ignored Lu Hong. He continued to sense his internal being and confirmed that strange yellow energy was present in his ninth star sphere. It was real and had appeared when he had been cultivating the Mighty God Technique; it could not be wrong.

“Could it be this is really the Power of Heaven and Earth? Why had it not appeared in the divine core then but had surfaced in the ninth star sphere? That’s weird...”

Jiang Yi could not make sense of it. He was not stupid either; he was not going to activate the Power of Heaven and Earth here. He recovered himself and woke up, his gaze turning to Lu Hong as he asked, “How is the situation of the Stellarsky Domain?”

Jiang Yi had entered the Primitive Mystic Realm for three days. That would mean three hundred Lower-Domain days had gone by. There should have been some results in such a long time, right?

Lu Hong nodded and said, “A Hunting Envoy had sent word that there is a Chaos Divine Boat near the Stellarsky Domain that belongs to the Earth Emanations Pavilion. There are indeed some powerful craftsmen at work laying out an array. It should be completed soon. Lord Hunting Envoy, don’t worry. If the Earth Emanations Pavilion wants to help a mere mortal domain, it is very easy!”

“Chaos Divine Boat? Outside the Stellarsky Domain?”

Jiang Yi asked curiously, “Is the Stellarsky Domain far from the Earth Emanations Domain? Can I take a Chaos Divine Boat and head outside the Stellarsky Domain? Does that mean as long as I take a Chaos Divine Boat, I can go to the Stellarsky Domain?”

“That is not possible...”

Lu Hong smiled bitterly and explained, “It is easy to ascend from the Lower Domain to the Higher Domain. Once one’s strength has reached a certain level, one would be able to ascend. However, it is difficult to go down to the Lower Domain from the Higher Domain. As everyone here has divine auras while the spatial zone in the Lower Domain is extremely unstable—if one were to force his way down, he would easily lead to the collapse of the Lower Domain.

“At that time, he would immediately be killed by the heaven-and-earth laws. Furthermore, to force one’s way down is also very difficult. One cannot directly enter from outside but has to build a special array to teleport into the Lower Domain. This is possibly designed by the heaven-and-earth laws to protect the mortals in their domains.”

“Something isn’t right though!”

Jiang Yi asked doubtfully, “Previously, our domain had been attacked by the Netherworld aura that led to one clan being controlled by the Netherworld Realm. After that, although we exterminated this clan, they actually opened an array and summoned a Netherworld General. After this Netherworld General was killed, someone said that the Netherworld Realm army was going to arrive soon. However, based on what you said, if an entire army from the Netherworld Realm was to arrive; wouldn’t the Stellarsky Domain be easily destroyed by their mere presence?”

“That is different!”

Lu Hong explained, “Your domain had been attacked by the Netherworld aura. Hence, if a Netherworld General were to enter your domain, it would naturally not be destroyed. That Netherworld General probably had a very pure Netherworld aura that made your domain used to the aura of Netherworld Generals. Hence, even if a hundred Netherworld Generals were to arrive, your domain would not disintegrate.

“It is the same as you being from the Stellarsky Domain, and so your aura had been recorded and familiarized by the Stellarsky Domain. Even if you really reached the Demon-Killing Battle God Realm one day, your Stellarsky Domain would not exclude or attack you either; and you can freely enter it. The preamble is that you have to ask the divine array craftsmen to build an array for you to reach your Stellarsky Domain. Although Hunting Envoys have some privileges, building such an array to head to the Lower Domain is very difficult and would require a huge amount of divine roots.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Jiang Yi wasn’t sure if he understood everything. However, he could confirm that the mysterious elder in the Fire Dragon Sword had not lied to him. Jiang Yi thought about it for a while and then felt that something was not right again. Wasn’t Yi Piaopiao from a divine race? She had never entered the Stellarsky Domain before, and the Stellarsky Domain would not have recognized her aura; how was it that the Stellarsky Domain did not disintegrate when she had entered?

As this concerned Yi Piaopiao’s identity while Jiang Yi was starting to suspect that the Mighty God Technique had something to do with her as well, Jiang Yi did not want to ask too many questions at this moment. He intended to head back, investigate, and read up on his own. Jiang Yi glanced at Xiao Leng, rose, and said, “Let’s head back now.”

Xiao Leng silently rose and followed. As Jiang Yi walked out of the side hall, he met a graceful figure just walking out from another side hall. Jiang Yi stopped, bowed respectfully, and said, “Greetings to the Pavilion Lord!”

Lu Hong hurriedly followed suit. Xiao Leng’s somewhat ugly face had actually revealed a sliver of a smile as he nodded and said, “Greetings to Young Mistress Xuanyuan.”

The person that had appeared was Xuanyuan Lingyan. She looked at Jiang Yi lightly as she turned towards Xiao Leng and said, “Greetings to Lord Xiao Leng!”

After greeting Xiao Leng, she then looked at Jiang Yi again, saying, “Hunting Envoy, according to decorum, your rank is higher than mine. There is no need to bow to me. Furthermore, you are the City Lord as well.”

Xuanyuan Lingyan then looked at Lu Hong lastly, saying, “Lu Hong, I will be making a trip to the Earth Emanations City. In my absence, you will be in charge.”

After speaking, Xuanyuan Lingyan left and did not bother with Jiang Yi or Xiao Leng.

Jiang Yi shook his head slightly. It seemed as if this lady was a young mistress from some great family clan in the Earth Emanations City and had taken up this Pavilion Lord position to gain some experience and reputation, right? If not, which Pavilion Lord would be absent most of the time and constantly head to the Earth Emanations City?

Xiao Leng probably knew who Xuanyuan Lingyan was. However, Jiang Yi was not interested in finding out more. Since Xuanyuan Lingyan looked down on him, he also did not want to warm up to her as much as many people wanted to curry favor with her.

Xiao Leng brought Jiang Yi back to the Jiang Manor within the Divine Eagle City. The city was very peaceful. Commander He, He Wei, and Gu Mu had all reported that all was well.

The Earth Emanations Army had been completely taken over; with Xiao Leng around, no one dared to cause any trouble as well. What surprised Jiang Yi was that in these three days, the city had collected tax revenues amounting to around one hundred thousand divine roots. It was a pity he had to pay the salaries of the men of Earth Emanations Army and all the people working in the Jiang Manor. As many people were working in the Jiang Manor and he wanted to build his own personal army, almost all the hundred thousand divine roots were used; only twenty thousand-odd were left.

Twenty thousand-odd divine roots in three days; he could earn seven thousand divine roots in a day!

Jiang Yi grew slightly excited. This meant that he could earn around three million divine roots in a year. Furthermore, his personal troops would no longer require so much spending; they could go out and carry out missions. That way, his income would grow even greater.

Commander Liu had sent all the ledgers to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “I do not need to look at these. I trust you, Commander Liu. Alright, you guys are dismissed. Gu Mu, stay. I want to ask you about some things!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Commander Liu was very emotional as if he was a gentleman ready to die for his bosom friend. Jiang Yi was actually not going to go through all these accounts; if Commander Liu wanted to dip his fingers into the pool, that would be so easy. He Wei wanted to say something, but since Jiang Yi looked busy, he did not open his mouth.

When everyone had gone away, Jiang Yi immediately asked Gu Mu, “Gu Mu, do you know of the Saint Spirit Domain?” New chapters are published on Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

“Of course!”

Gu Mu answered very definitively. He said, “There aren’t many who haven’t heard of the Saint Spirit Domain in the Earth Domain. The Saint Spirit Domain is the number one domain in the Earth Domain. Besides the formidable Ink Feather Race, the Saint Spirit Domain is considered the strongest! The Ink Feather Race resides in the Ink Feather Mystic Realm and normally keeps a low-profile. If one had not reached the God King Realm, he would not have the right to know about them yet.

“The Saint Spirit Domain, however, is different. It is the strongest domain on paper. The Saint Spirit Domain’s Overlord is from a very special divine race—the Phantom Race! It is the strongest race with the most powerful assassination abilities in the Earth Domain. If they locked onto a target—besides the few most powerful King-Ranked martial artists in the Earth Domain, everyone else would die. Even a Titled Battle God would have to die...”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi was stunned. However, based on the information Gu Mu had provided, the Phantom Race seemed to be completely unrelated to the Mighty God Race and quite different from it as well. In that case, why was Jiang Yi able to cultivate the Mighty God Technique?
