Even a semi-divine level genius like Muba, in terms of skill and the treasures he carried, far surpassed Alicia and the others.
But what of it? If he couldn’t escape immediately, he was still caught and killed by Alicia.
Suddenly.
In the midst of over a thousand points of light, the two most dazzling ones suddenly flashed and then went out completely. This scene left many observers stunned, and quite a few people in the meeting room also took notice.
There was silence for a whole second.
“Freya is dead?”
“Roman is dead? This!” The two Flying Heaven Warriors responsible for staying behind to observe were utterly confounded, looking at the scene in disbelief.
Indeed, they were confounded.
Not long before, they had communicated with Freya and Roman, knowing that the two had just made breakthroughs and had rapidly grown to level 24 using many peculiar treasures.
Far stronger than Mo Hu before them, they had each mastered an introductory Third Layer Star Technique.
They were full of confidence.
But how much time had passed since then? That they had fallen so quickly? And at the same time?
“Check quickly.”
“Check! Is there a problem with their signals?” A Flying Heaven Warrior panicked; he knew how important Freya and Roman were.
Within the entire Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, and even among the Chi Divine Race, it was almost impossible to find more suitable, stronger Martial Path geniuses.
Soon.
“The instrument is functioning properly.”
“The communication is fine.”
“Death!”
“99% probability, death confirmed.” A series of checking voices resounded; the Immortal Ruins Civilization’s device for confirming the status of a warrior’s life was far superior to that of the Seven Star Civilization.
“They’re really dead?” The two Flying Heaven Warriors looked at each other, a chill in their hearts.
The death of Freya and Roman was one thing, but what was key was that they both died instantaneously, without sending back any message before death… this was too terrifying.
How did they die? If they were killed by the enemy, how terrifying would the strength of that enemy have to be?
Or were they killed by the inherent dangers of World within Worlds?
“Send the message.” One of the black-robed Flying Heaven Warriors said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll send the message to Ao Jia, Wu Siman, Kui Jiu, and the others.”
“You send the message to Mintian Hou and the two demigods of the Chi Divine Race.”
As he spoke, the black-robed Flying Heaven Warrior had already begun to send messages to Wu Siman and the others.
“Me?” The other Flying Heaven Warrior was startled. “Damn! I have to send the message to Lord Hou?”
He could imagine the fury that the message would provoke once sent.
But there was nothing he could do.
…
World within Worlds, outside the ruins of the Divine Palace.
Inside one tent.
“The one who killed the True Phoenix Divine was a powerful being named Ancient Torch Divine?” Li Yuan listened to the Boundary Spirit’s story.
He finally understood why the Boundary Spirit was so furious.
“It wasn’t so much killed as poisoned.” The anger in the Boundary Spirit’s voice was palpable. “Back then, my master followed the Ancient Torch Divine into that catastrophic battle, which was extremely brutal, with divine being after divine being falling… The Ancient Torch Divine was among the most dazzling of them.”
“As a True Phoenix, my master’s bloodline talent was extremely powerful, and she dominated in her own right.”
“Taking advantage of an opportunity within the enemy camp, that Chi Swallow Divine used a divine poison, the toxin eroded my master’s whole body, and in the end, my master only escaped by using ‘Nirvana’… Later in the great war, she was sent away by the Ancient Torch Divine.”
“In her frenzied escape, that Chi Swallow Divine also pursued with the intent to kill, and my master’s injuries grew ever more severe.”
“My master could only find a newly born, unstable Star Realm, integrated the Cave Heaven Treasure with it, hid her aura, and finally managed to evade capture.” The Boundary Spirit’s voice was filled with rage: “In the end, my master died from her grave injuries, leaving us behind.”
“A newly born, unstable Star Realm, where divine beings have the power to forcibly descend… I have always been waiting, waiting for the day I could truly emerge.”
“But I can’t forget my master’s horrible state before her death, nor can I forget the aura of Chi Swallow Divine.”
“This token, it’s his!!”
“The deceased, also from the Fire System, must be intrinsically linked to Chi Swallow Divine.” The Boundary Spirit’s voice contained fury.
Li Yuan finally learned some partial truths about that war from the past.
“But aren’t divine beings supposed to only live for five thousand years?” Li Yuan couldn’t help asking: “Almost ten thousand years have passed, could that Chi Swallow Divine still be alive?”
“He might be dead.”
“But he may have left behind an inheritance within his civilization, which was obtained by that young girl just now.” The Boundary Spirit spoke somberly.
“So, Chi Swallow Divine was a divine being born from the Immortal Ruins Civilization?” Li Yuan asked in slight confusion: “From the reports I know, in the entire history of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, only one ‘Gu Yue Divine’ was ever born.”
In the past few days, Li Yuan obtained new information about the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom through communication with the outside world.
In the many Divine Kingdoms within the Immortal Ruins Civilization… each had once given birth to divine beings, but most of those divine beings have disappeared, most likely due to the end of their lifespan.
However, a nation that has given birth to a divine being naturally has a deep foundation.
The strength of the Seven Star Civilization, to be comparable with that of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, was sufficient proof of the power of the Seven Star Civilization.
“Perhaps it is another Divine Kingdom in the Immortal Ruins Civilization.” The Boundary Spirit suggested: “You can communicate with the outside world, use the information systems in your civilization to investigate.”
“He was a divine being, and even if dead, he should have been recorded in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.” The voice of the Boundary Spirit had become gentle again.
“Why should I check? It’s of no benefit to me.” Li Yuan shook his head: “You won’t even grant me some authority within the World within Worlds.”
In fact.
Even without the Boundary Spirit mentioning it, Li Yuan would still investigate, as he suspected that, apart from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, other forces from the Immortal Ruins Civilization were now involved.
However, he needed to find a way to gain some benefits from the Boundary Spirit.
“My master has left rules which I cannot break,” the Boundary Spirit said firmly. “However, if you can verify it, I will definitely give you a tremendous benefit.”
