Lord of All Realms (Web Novel)

Nie Tian plummeted at an alarming speed. After his head spun for a while, he seemed to be pulled into an open space by the unknown spatial power.

SHEW!

All of a sudden, he landed on solid ground.

After assuming a solid foothold, he realized that his connection to the Flame Dragon Armor was reestablished, and he could sense its existence and aura with great clarity.

He even sensed that it was in fear.

“This place is...”

Exceptionally pure and surging flame power filled his surroundings like a sea.

A number of earthflame crystal strings could be seen floating in midair not far from him. Inside of them was branded the profound truths of flame power.

Nie Tian found himself in the middle of an empty palace hall, where everything seemed to be dark red. Over his head...

Nie Tian looked up, and suddenly noticed that beyond the transparent doom of the hall was none other than the boiling lava lake.

That made this place the heart of the volcano!

The Flame Dragon Armor, meanwhile, was suppressed by a huge cauldron in a corner of the hall, and couldn’t move in the slightest.

The huge cauldron had four legs, which were carved with a flame dragon, a flame qilin, a flame phoenix, and a vermilion bird respectively. it seems as if the four powerful beasts were propping the cauldron up together.

The precious four-legged cauldron exuded a boundlessly immense and ancient aura.

With its four legs, it was now standing on the Flame Dragon Armor, holding it down completely.

With a single glance at it, Nie Tian exclaimed, “An Immortal grade divine tool!”

The Flame Dragon Armor couldn’t move in the slightest underneath the huge cauldron. This made him realize that it must be an Immortal grade divine tool.

“Master...” Agaz’s soul will came through, as if to beg him to rescue him.

Without making any rash moves, Nie Tian slowly approached the Flame Dragon Armor and the huge cauldron.

His mind operated at a high speed as he kept glancing around at his surroundings.

“An open space at the heart of the volcano where Pang Bo used to practice cultivation. The strange spatial power from earlier...”

With these thoughts, he noticed that there were many huge cylindrical pillars in this underground palace. All of them were carved with incredibly complicated fiery spell formations.

If he stared at the fiery spell formations for more than a few seconds, he would feel a burning sensation in his mind.

He soon noticed that the Flame Dragon Armor was actually floating over an ancient teleportation portal with an extremely complicated structure, which was emanating unusual spatial fluctuations.

“That’s what I suspected.”

The moment he spotted the teleportation portal, he was convinced that its complicated structure allowed it to conduct inter-domain teleportation.

This was a special place where the arched flame ward overhead held up the lava lake.

Not only could Peng Yan and the other elders of the fire element sect not enter in person, but even their soul awareness would be expelled and attacked by the spell formations.

After all, this was the private property where Pang Bo, the former sectmaster of the fire element sect, had practiced cultivation.

“That huge cauldron...”

Stepping closer slowly and carefully, Nie Tian was very vigilant as he summoned his bloodline power and flame power to communicate with the Flame Dragon Armor. “Is there someone else here? Is it just you and that Immortal grade divine tool suppressing you?”

“I haven’t seen anyone,” Agaz answered. “However, unusual spatial fluctuations keep coming from the teleportation portal below me. I suspect that someone comes here through it on a regular basis.”

“Master, this palace at the heart of this volcano is actually an ideal cultivation location for both of us.” Agaz continued, looking rather excited. “The walls, pillars, and floor were all made from rare fire-attributed spiritual materials with exquisite techniques and methods.

“This entire palace is a large power-gathering spell formation that channels flame power from the entire Realm of Fire Spirit.

“As far as I can remember, the only other place that can gather such immense and pure flame power is our people’s Holy Flame Mountain, which is also where I was born.

“Not just that, but there are also a large number of earthflame crystal strings here. They carry the profound truths of flame power, and can be directly used to strengthen my bloodline.”

Agaz seemed rather keen on the topic as he went on and on about the wonders of this place, as if he had completely forgotten about the fact that he was being suppressed by a huge cauldron. “Unfortunately,” he added, “every wisp of flame power in this palace seems to be intended for this huge cauldron, so it can continue to upgrade and become stronger.”

He seemed frustrated by this.

Nie Tian’s expression flickered in surprise. “All of this is for the purpose of strengthening this cauldron?”

Then, he took a deep glance at the huge cauldron and asked, “What sub-level do you think this divine tool is at?”

“Level five,” Agaz answered.

Nie Tian gasped. “A level five Immortal grade divine tool! A divine tool at such a level must have developed remarkable intelligence. Can you communicate with it?”

“Yes... but it refuses to give me any response,” Agaz answered in frustration.

Nie Tian was taken aback.

“It’s nothing like the cauldrons I’ve ever seen,” Agaz said. “Its soul aura is actually a combination of four independent soul auras that belong to a flame dragon, a flame phoenix, a flame qilin, and a vermilion bird. All of them are powerful fire-attributed Ancientspirits. I even have a sense of familiarity towards that flame dragon’s aura. I suspect it has some bloodline connection to me.”

Flame dragons, flame phoenixes, flame qilins, and vermilion birds were all fire-attributed beings.

Looking at the carvings on the four legs of the huge cauldron and associating them with the soul wills of four powerful fire-attributed beings, Nie Tian grew increasingly vigilant.

“Do you know what power pulled me down here?” Nie Tian asked.

He had been pulled down here for some reason during his attempt to enter the lava lake, when he was being fiercely attacked by the spell formations. It must have been the result of a willful action.

However, the huge four-legged cauldron in front of him was the only thing in this palace that had a soul and intelligence!

WHOOSH!

After he came to a certain distance from the cauldron, the carvings on the cauldron suddenly lit up like lifelike fire serpents.

At the same time, a strong attractive force was born within the huge cauldron.

All of a sudden, both his and the Flame Dragon Armor’s flame power started flying towards it wisp after wisp, as if they were being channeled by it.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the flame power core in his spiritual sea was shrinking bit by bit.

Similarly, the Blood Core in the chest area of the Flame Dragon Armor also started to shrivel due to the flame power loss.

“Master, it must have held me here to lure you in, so it can drain us of our flame power!” Agaz’s soul voice became anxious and shrill, stirring Nie Tian’s sea of souls.

Nie Tian let out a cold laugh. “You actually think you can strengthen yourself with me and my spiritual tool friend?

“You’re nothing but an Immortal grade divine tool that’s been forgotten and left here for who knows how many years, yet you attempt to upgrade yourself by draining us? Wishful thinking!”

FIZZ!

The Star Behemoth bone was summoned. As his life bloodline burst forth, the bone pierced towards the four-legged cauldron like a divine spear.

Its raging flesh aura beat the bone to the huge cauldron. “Split!”

AHH!

A strange sound that Nie Tian couldn’t make out suddenly came from within the four-legged cauldron.

At the same time numerous fiery spell formations that were hidden around the palace were activated simultaneously.

WHOOSH!

Countless earthflame crystal strings, along with fierce flame power, condensed into a huge flaming hand, that descended from the dome.

A formidable flesh aura that could suppress and bring all living beings to heel burst forth.

As the huge hand fell, its raging flesh aura held the Star Behemoth bone, which had rarely suffered any losses, down like a captured python. It even found it difficult to wiggle.

Then, the huge flaming hand slapped it with great force.

BOOM!

The slender Star Behemoth bone was knocked to the floor.

Nie Tian, whose flesh aura was connected to the bone’s, seemed to suffer a heavy blow to the chest as he let out a muffled groan and dropped to the floor. He felt as if he had a great mountain-like pressure on his shoulder, which stopped him from even rising to his feet.

Nie Tian looked up at the huge flaming hand. “The divine power of a God domain expert!

“This Immortal grade divine tool can draw power from the divine formations left by Pang Bo, the former sectmaster of the fire element sect. Don’t tell me it’s his divine tool!”

“Pang Bo is my master indeed!” A thunderous voice echoed through the empty palace.
