Against the red-haired man, Skyfire Sacred Hands's aura was completely sealed. There was no way for him to resist. Skyfire Sacred Hands was a proud person, but against the red-haired man, he could only submit. The pressure the red-haired man gave him was just too great.
He had no choice but to tell the red-haired man everything he knew.
"Oh? With only a Dao Palace realm cultivation level, he was able to destroy the plague so easily? "
"Yes, I was helpless against the evil spirit. I have no idea how he was able to destroy it so easily." Skyfire Sacred Hands did not even dare to breathe loudly.
The red-haired man stroked his chin as he pondered. How could a Dao Palace realm warrior destroy the demonic servants without harming the warrior who was being parasitized?
From the looks of it, Yi Yun had some secrets.
"What are you hiding from me?" The red-haired man's tone suddenly changed. At the same time, Skyfire Sacred Hands felt his blood flow freeze. He felt stifled.
"No … I'm not hiding anything …"
Skyfire Sacred Hands spat out those words with great difficulty. But at that moment, he felt his dantian rapidly freeze. If this continued, he would be crippled of all his cultivation level.
"It's … it's fire … He has a … strange fire … He must have used that fire … to burn the evil spirit …"
Skyfire Sacred Hands used all his strength to say those words. Finally, he was released by the red-haired man. Skyfire Sacred Hands held his neck as he gasped for air. He truly believed that his cultivation level was about to be maimed a moment ago.
"Fire?"
The red-haired man fell into deep thought. He could not recall any fire that could so easily burn the demonic servants without harming the victim's dantian.
He had to capture Yi Yun in order to understand all of this.
He glanced at Skyfire Sacred Hands and said, "You are already useless to me. I'll give you two choices. Either you offer up a wisp of your soul and submit to me, or you die!"
Upon hearing the red-haired man's words, Skyfire Sacred Hands's face turned pale. He knew that there was no way he could escape today's calamity.
As a genius alchemist of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect, he had his pride. How could he easily offer up a wisp of his soul?
"Don't think that submitting to me is an injustice to you. In a few more years, the 12 Empyrean Heavens will no longer exist, and it will be the world of my race! The strength of my race is not something you can imagine. If it weren't for the fact that I lack manpower, I wouldn't even bother to give you this chance. I don't want to waste words, so I'll give you ten breaths of time to consider. If you submit, you will obtain even greater strength. You will be able to kill your enemies with your own hands, or you can die right now! "
The red-haired man said lightly. The corners of Skyfire Sacred Hands's mouth twitched when he heard that.
The 12 Empyrean Heavens no longer existed? What a joke!
He looked up at the red-haired man. Although the man gave him an extremely terrifying feeling, Skyfire Sacred Hands knew that he was only a Supremacy. Above him were Divine Lords, and above Divine Lords were even more mighty figures. It was absolutely impossible for the person in front of him to sweep the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
Based on what he said, there were even more powerful existences in his race. They were hiding, unknown to anyone.
Where did they come from? Could it be the Ultimate?
For some unknown reason, Skyfire Sacred Hands suddenly recalled the evil spirits that had been destroyed by Yi Yun. The sudden appearance of the evil spirits, as well as the ancient ruin, as well as the red-haired man's question about the evil spirits, made him connect the dots.
"Those evil spirits were reared by you?" Skyfire Sacred Hands suddenly realized the possibility as he blurted out a question. "You sure are smart.
"You sure are smart. That's right. The demonic servants are indeed a member of our race, but it doesn't matter if they are destroyed. As for the Yi Yun you mentioned, although I am interested in him, I don't mind him. The general trend cannot be stopped. To my race, he is just a special ant."
As the red-haired man spoke, he stretched out his hand. His fingers were suffused with a black aura, as though he was trying to suck away Skyfire Sacred Hands's soul.
Skyfire Sacred Hands had no other choice. His intuition told him that many of the things the red-haired man said were true. If that was the case, submitting to the red-haired man was indeed an opportunity for him, allowing him to become stronger. If not, with his Soaring Serpent Skyfire being snatched away, his status in the sect would plummet, and with his mental demons not removed, he would probably have no future.
"I … submit to you!"
Skyfire Sacred Hands heaved a sigh of relief. That one sentence seemed to drain all his strength.
…
Time flew. Ever since Yi Yun began his seclusion, twenty years had passed.
The entrance to Yi Yun's seclusion grounds had long been buried by layers of sand and vegetation. Now, even if the concealment array was removed, one would not be able to see anything amiss.
Twenty years was a blink of an eye to most warriors, but to Yi Yun, it was an extremely long time. Prior to this, Yi Yun had only spent eighteen years in one go in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven's trials.
Yi Yun left the Tian Yuan world in his thirties and came to the 12 Empyrean Heavens. He stayed in the Luo clan for more than twenty years before becoming a disciple of Felicitous Rain Lord. After manifesting his Dao in four years, he headed to the Azure Wood Great World and witnessed the battle between the Divine Lord and the bronze giant. By the time he arrived at the Sun Burial Sandsea in the Yang God Empyrean Heaven, Yi Yun was sixty years old.
After experiencing the growth of the Central State Divine Territory and the Myriad Divine Territory, and his seclusion, Yi Yun had cultivated for nearly a hundred years.
In the past twenty years of seclusion, Yi Yun had expended more than half of the quasi-sage level pills and relics he had. The speed at which he expended them was shocking.
Even a large sect like the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect only had quasi-sage level pills as the best pills they had in their inventory. They did have true sage level pills, but only a few of them. They were personally safeguarded by the Sect Master or Grand Elder, and they were considered cornerstone items of the sect.
Under such circumstances, it was already impressive for a core disciple of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect to enjoy a few quasi-sage level pills and relics in a hundred years. However, Yi Yun had consumed seventy to eighty of them in twenty years.
Now, Yi Yun still had large amounts of medicinal essence left in his body that had yet to be refined. However, he did not mind it. He consumed another quasi-sage Dao Palace Condensation Pill and began refining it.
Such a method of consumption was a waste in the eyes of disciples from other factions. If they obtained a quasi-sage level pill, they would have to enter seclusion for a decade or two to fully absorb it. Furthermore, the crux of the problem was that they could not refine it even if they ate too much of it.
However, as the Azure Wood Divine Tree was growing in Yi Yun's body, the speed at which he expended the pills was not something other geniuses could compare with.
Now, Yi Yun's Azure Wood Divine Tree had grown to more than two hundred feet tall. It had fused with Yi Yun's Nine-treasured Dao Palace, allowing the two to grow together. Every hundred feet that the Azure Wood Divine Tree grew, Yi Yun's Dao Palace would increase by one level. In other words, he would break through a small realm in the Dao Palace. Now, Yi Yun was at the third-storey Dao Palace and was on his way to the fourth-storey Dao Palace.
However, Yi Yun did not know that while he was in seclusion, the Myriad Divine Territory, or even the entire Yang God Empyrean Heaven, was facing a huge crisis.
Beginning three years ago, City Lord Qin had sent many people to search for Yi Yun in secret. However, no one knew where Yi Yun was in seclusion. The Myriad Divine Territory was huge, so searching for a person was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. There was no way to begin …
