Chapter 1623: The Eye in the Flame

The flames that erupted from the roots of the Ancient Life Tree burned furiously as though they wanted to burn the Ancient Life Tree to ash.

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos leapt almost immediately toward the Ancient Life Tree.

The fire spirit, in the form of the fire qilin, seemed to consume the inextinguishable flames. The wood spirit gathered more wood spirit energy to protect the Ancient Life Tree.

The water spirit turned into clear streams that poured onto the Ancient Life Tree.

The thunder, metal, and earth spirits all released their unique powers and formed layers of energy barriers to stop the burning of the inextinguishable flames.

Qin Lie had a dark expression. With a flash, he appeared next to the Ancient Life Tree.

His Soul Altar changed with his mind, and thick white mist floated out.

"Frost Arts, frost power..."

That one-level Soul Altar turned into a glacier and used cold energy to subdue the inextinguishable flame.

At the same time, he found the frost laws in the Flaming Sun Abyss change as his power changed.

In a flash, this world became an arctic world.

The abyss devil energy gradually turned to ice power in a way he could not understand.

"Crack crack!"

The earth where the Ancient Life Tree had taken root quickly froze over as his arctic power changed.

In the blink of an eye, the world within a thousand miles turned into an icy land filled with snow.

The cold wind roared. Icicles suddenly appeared out of these dense plants of the Abyss.

Qin Lie looked and found the inextinguishable fire slowly subsiding.

Under the power of the Spirits of Void and Chaos and his frost power, the inextinguishable fire was unable to spread in this Abyss level he had created.

Soon, all of the inextinguishable flames was compressed into a small wisp by the cold energy.

There was a unique mark in the small inextinguishable flame that gradually grew clear.

That mark changed and turned into a crimson red eye.

That eye looked coldly at him from within the flame.

He also looked coldly at the eye.

"Sigh..."

A moment later, he heard a deep sigh that seemed to come from the eye in the flame.

Before he could react, the crimson red eye suddenly disappeared from the flames.

The burning flames quickly went out without leaving any power presence behind.

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos flew slowly toward him after the flames went out.

His Soul Altar stopped releasing cold power and went back into his mind.

This icy wold immediately returned back to normal and the Ancient Life Tree continued to grow.

"Yiya..."

The Spirits of Void and Chaos expressed their hunger, to which Qin Lie responded by taking out mountains of different spirit materials from his spatial ring.

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos leapt toward the spirit materials.

He looked at the Spirits of Void and Chaos and frowned slightly. He realized that recently, he had been busy with his own bloodline advancement and forgot the existence of the Spirits of Void and Chaos.

At this time, when he stared at the six Spirits of Void and Chaos and felt with his soul, he found that the six Spirits of Void and Chaos had all evolved into rank eight.

Previously, only the fire spirit had reached rank eight before going into hibernation.

He thought the other five Spirits of Void and Chaos would also need a long period of time to reach level eight.

But when the Spirits of Void and Chaos flew out of their own accord, he found he was wrong.

The six Spirits of Void and Chaos were surprising all at rank eight.

"Soul Suppressing Orb, it must be the wonders of the Soul Suppressing Orb..."

He suddenly understood the knowledge about the Spirits of Void and Chaos he had obtained from Hester of the Asura Race was not completely correct.

According to Hester, the Spirits of Void and Chaos would need large amounts of spirit materials and Soul Altars in order to break through.

Due to this, the Spirits of Void and Chaos had the infamy of being Soul Altar devourers.

But recently, the Spirits of Void and Chaos had not fed or madly consumed any Soul Altars.

They only slept docilely in the Soul Suppressing Orb and seemed to grow stronger over time.

This meant that the Soul Suppressing Orb was of help to the evolution of the Spirits of Void and Chaos!

This time, the reason the Spirits of Void and Chaos were in a hurry to eat was because the flame they extinguished had used up their power.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t even need to eat. They would be able to grow if they stayed in the Soul Suppressing Orb.

This was why the six Spirits of Void and Chaos were frequently staying in the Soul Suppressing Orb for prolonged periods of time—the Soul Suppressing Orb was beneficial to their evolution.

He slowly realized this.

At this time, he received Dawson's message from his Dark Soul Beast avatar in the Frost Desolation Abyss.

Dawson desired to meet him.

"Dawson..."

He thought for a while, looked at the changes that the Flaming Sun Abyss was undergoing and the six feeding Spirits of Void and Chaos.

He sent his intentions towards the Spirits of Void and Chaos. They quickly responded. They seemed... to desire to temporarily stay in the Flaming Sun Abyss.

He had an odd expression and was puzzled about the Spirits of Void and Chaos wanting to stay in the Flaming Sun Abyss.

"Yiya, yiyayiya..."

The fire spirit responded and told him that they were willing to stay longer because of the Ancient Life Tree.

"So it is for the Ancient Life Tree."

He was slightly surprised and then realized that the Ancient Life Tree being planted in the Flaming Sun Abyss would also help the Spirits of Void and Chaos.

This was why the Spirits of Void and Chaos were urging him to plant the Ancient Life Tree after he returned to the Flaming Sun Abyss.

"I’ll be going first then."

He moved the Galaxy Mirror and activated the bloodline power of the Demon Spirit of Space and Time.

In the Frost Desolation Abyss, a star door flashed next to his Dark Soul Beast avatar.

His main body walked out. He saw several other powerful Abyss Devils, other than Dawson, waiting in their high rank Abyss Devil forms.

Enos was among them. She hurriedly said after he walked out of the star door, "The Flaming Sun Abyss has fallen another twenty levels. It is on the sixtieth level of the Abyss now. What happened to you and the Flaming Sun Abyss?"

The bald Dawson looked deeply at him and grinned. He said, "All of the Great Lords of the Abyss of the upper hundred levels are closely paying attention to the changes in the Flaming Sun Abyss."

"No one is paying attention to the Eight Purgatories?" Qin Lie said.

"Eight Eight Purgatories?" Russell, who ranked just under Dawson in the Frost Desolation Abyss was shocked and said, "You know what is happening in the purgatory?"

"The God Race has entered Yellow Springs Purgatory, the Spirit Race entered Nine Hells Purgatory." Qin Lie was startled and said, "The abyss passageway was unsealed for a while, you... did not receive news?"

According to his understanding, when the abyss passageway of the Eight Purgatories was unsealed for a while, the Great Lords of the Abyss of the upper hundred levels should be able to enter purgatory.

Therefore, the upper hundred levels’ Abyss Devils would have entered the purgatory in large numbers.

He had not expected that these Abyss Devils of the Frost Desolation Abyss did not seem to know the changes in the Eight Purgatories.

"The God Race and Spirit Race dare to invade the holy land of the Eight Purgatories!"

Russell and the other two Great Lords of the Frost Desolation Abyss were furious after hearing the news.

Only Dawson was unmoved. He seemed to have already known. He looked at Qin Lie and said, "There is a boundary made out of inextinguishable flames between the Eight Purgatories and the abyss passageway entrance. If I am not wrong, the caster should be the last patriarch of the Blaze Family, Lieyan Yuan. That boundary burns with terrifying flame that no rank ten Abyss Devil is able to penetrate at the moment."

Pausing, Dawson said, "Also, based on time, the abyss passageway of the Eight Purgatories should still be closed. Many Abyss Devils are not willing to waste energy."

After the boundary above the Nether River disappeared, the abyss passageway of the Eight Purgatories would be sealed for a year.

This ancient rule had existed for a million years. All the Great Lords of the Abyss like Dawson knew this.

There was still a few months until the end of the year. These Great Lords of the Abyss thought that the abyss passageway was still sealed. Even if they destroyed the inextinguishable flame boundary, they could not enter the Eight Purgatories.

Therefore, even if the rank ten Abyss Devils could destroy the boundary, they believed there was no point to it.

"How did your main body come to the Frost Desolation Abyss?" Dawson suddenly said.

"Yes, isn't it still closed?" Russell said curiously.

Qin Lie looked at the four Great Lords of the Frost Desolation Abyss. His mind shifted, and he suddenly had an idea.
