Chapter 1356: Flames All Over The Sky

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

A strong wind blew and roared behind the Phantasms.

BOOM!

The sky of the Realm of Maelstrom, which was like the mouth of a well, was directly covered by a thick layer of blood that was full of a cruel, bloodthirsty aura.

Ye Wenhan’s expression changed slightly. “It’s Grand Monarch Bloodlust of the Demons!”

He looked down at the blood layer that had enveloped the Realm of Maelstrom’s sky and gave everyone no way back.

Nie Tian, who was talking with Grand Monarch Dark Nether, suddenly froze and looked down.

A layer of scarlet blood, which was like a sea of blood, spread over the Realm of Maelstrom.

The sticky sea of blood and Grand Monarch Bloodlust’s aura made the people extremely depressed.

Grand Monarch Bloodlust himself was nowhere to be seen.

“Ah!” A Saint domain expert who tried to perceive the sea of scarlet blood with his soul awareness screamed, as if he were suffering piercing pain. His eyes seemed to be painted with blood, and became blood-red.

A flash of lightning flew out from Mo Qianfan’s fingertips, and fell like a sharp sword!

BOOM!

In the spatter of blood, Mo Qianfan’s electric light suddenly vanished.

His expression changed slightly as he shouted, “Nie Tian! Grand Monarch Bloodlust of the Demons has congealed that blood into a barrier! With it, he has sealed the Realm of Maelstrom, making it very difficult for us to go back.”

“Strange,” Yu Suying muttered, “Why has the tenth-grade Grand Monarch Bloodlust spent a tremendous amount of his power just to seal the Realm of Maelstrom?”

At the moment, most of the experts who remained in the starry river were at the Saint domain.

The gifted void domain experts like Nie Tian, Pei Qiqi and Huang Jinnan who still stayed had powerful treasures. Their real battle prowess might not be weaker than that of a Saint domain expert.

Cultivators with this kind of cultivation base would be able to fly through the starry river to nearby realms even if the Realm of Maelstrom was sealed off.

They wouldn’t have to return to the Realm of Maelstrom.

“I’m thinking...” Hou Chulan, who was the Divine Daughter of the wood element sect, whispered gently. Suddenly, her expression changed, and her delicate body trembled. “Fiends! If Grand Monarch Nether Channeler’s coming, we’ll have to watch out for Domain-corroding Flames!”

Hearing her reminder, all the experts who had flown out of the Realm of Maelstrom instantly came to their senses.

“Domain-corroding Flames!”

“The Domain-corroding Flames of the Fiends!”

“So that’s what they’re doing!”

The Domain-corroding Flames were a great weapon of the Fiends, especially when used against strong human experts.

Once Void and Saint domain experts were infected with the Domain-corroding Flames, their domains would burn and melt away.

Human experts had to protect themselves with their domains when traveling in the starry river. They needed to prevent their bodies from being infiltrated by the impurities in the starry river, or, once their domains were gone, they would easily die.

Even God domain experts would be greatly weakened if affected by the Domain-corroding Flames.

After losing the protection of their domains, they could only avoid being killed if they flew into a realm like the Realm of Maelstrom.

It was likely because Grand Monarch Bloodlust planned to use the Domain-corroding Flames to stop them from escaping that he congealed his blood into a blood membrane to seal the Realm of Maelstrom.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Gradually, the strong wind whistled louder and louder in all directions.

Clusters of dense fire emerged in the strong wind. Sure enough, they were Domain-corroding Flames.

In the strong wind, the Fiends used deep eerie howls to communicate with each other in an attempt to drive the strong wind and the Domain-corroding Flames to flood every human.

“It’s not safe to stay here anymore!” Ji Yuanquan exclaimed.

He gave Pei Qiqi a meaningful look.

ZZZZZLA!

Ji Yuanquan immediately attempted to cast a secret spatial magic to tear open a spatial rift, so that everyone would be able to return to the Realm of Maelstrom below through it.

BAM!!!

However, before a spatial rift could form, it suddenly exploded.

Ji Yuanquan was shocked. “The Wheel of Time and Space! It’s the Wheel of Time and Space’s power that’s locking us down and preventing my spatial rift from forming. There must be at least ten Phantasm grand patriarchs driving it!”

Ye Wenhan’s expression changed. “Ten grand patriarchs are joining hands to drive the Wheel of Time and Space?”

All eyes naturally turned to the Phantasms’ ancient starship.

The prismatic crystal between Grand Monarch Dark Nether’s eyebrows twinkled as he said, “You’re clever enough to predict our moves.” Sometimes he looked at the others, and sometimes at Nie Tian, but he was not in a hurry. He seemed to be waiting for the situation to change in a way that was more favorable to them.

Someone let out a cry. “The Domain-corroding Flames are coming at us!”

Nie Tian looked around, and found clusters of fire converging on them from all sides, driven by the strong wind in the void. He even found flames above his head.

“Nie Tian, this time...” Hou Chulan said with a wry smile.

Nie Tian looked grave. “I don’t know.”

Previously, he had absorbed the Domain-corroding Flames with the flame spark in his flame power core. By doing so, he had turned the tables, allowing Hou Chulan and He Lianxiong to escape.

Therefore, when the Domain-corroding Flames showed up again, Hou Chulan wanted to count on him.

However, she had also witnessed what had happened in the Realm of Fire Spirit, and knew that the flame spark had transformed into a new life with the help of Nie Tian’s blood essence — Nie Yan of the Ifrits.

Nie Yan had been taken away by the Divine Flame, flying out of the Realm of Fire Spirit.

It was hard to say whether Nie Yan and the Divine Flame had returned to the Domain of Flame’s End. Even if they had returned, they might not be able to be summoned by Nie Tian again.

Besides, it was too late now.

Ji Yuanquan was helpless, and looked at Pei Qiqi, asking for help, “Qiqi! It’s impossible for me to break the lockdown of the Wheel of Time and Space under the joint operation of ten grand patriarchs. What about you? Can you break the seal of the Wheel of Time and Space and open a spatial rift?”

Ye Wenhan was stunned. “Her?”

Pei Qiqi thought for a while, then said, “I’ll try. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

As soon as she said this, the irregular, multifaceted prismatic crystal that had melted into her body flew out of her.

After accepting Pei Qiqi as its master, the priceless spatial treasure from the Shatter Battlefield had continued to gather spatial power and become more and more powerful, following Pei Qiqi in her travels.

As the prismatic crystal came out, a creaking strange sound suddenly came from the dim starry sky behind the Phantasms.

The Phantasm grand patriarchs used bloodline magics to send messages to Grand Monarch Dark Nether’s mind to inform him of the situation.

“Your Majesty!”

“It’s much more difficult to push the Wheel of Time and Space now.”

“Your Majesty! There’s a divine spatial tool affecting the Wheel of Time and Space! You must get rid of it!”

Pei Qiqi was reflected in the cyan crystal of Grand Monarch Dark Nether as he spat, “It’s you!”

At this moment, Pei Qiqi suddenly felt as if invisible silk threads were slowly wrapping around her.

“Dark Nether, I’m your opponent!” Ji Yuanquan shouted.

“You?” Grand Monarch Dark Nether sneered. “Your opponents are the Domain-corroding Flames! Everyone, including you, Ji Yuanquan. Your God domain will taste the Domain-corroding Flames first!”

“Ah!” Mo Qianfan exclaimed. “Not the same! The Domain-corroding Flames are extremely destructive to my domain!”

Hearing this, several god domain experts who were originally calm panicked. “What?”
