Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1614 - Turned Upside Down



Chapter 1614: Turned Upside Down

The Chaos Sea had indeed been turned upside down!

Once the eight young masters and young mistresses got back, there was an uproar in the Random Star Islands. Countless young masters and young mistresses were enraged. The four great family clans immediately gave orders for all the Random Star Islands to be activated to kill Jiang Yi.

If Jiang Yi had not killed so many people or even that King-Ranked martial artist, he would not be in this much trouble.

Even to the prestigious clans of the Heaven Domain, King-Ranked martial artists were considered top martial artists. Yet, he was killed by a mere man from the Earth Domain? How could they take this lying down? It would be an embarrassment to all the prestigious clans of the Heaven Domain.

The four great clans did not want to rage war on the Earth Domain. After all, they were neighbors, and the Earth Domain did not have less martial artists than the Heaven Domain. However, the Heaven Domain did own them after all. The Earth Domain had to depend on the former to prevent the Netherworld Realm from taking over all of them. They were the pillar that was holding everyone else up.

This pillar was, in turn, was being supported by the four Supreme Thearchs and countless prestigious clans in the Heaven Domain. Thus, after the young masters and young mistresses became enraged, they sent countless scouts to look around for Jiang Yi.

The young masters and young mistresses sent most people that they had brought with them. They even began to activate people back in the Heaven Domain. Each of the four great clans sent a million people to encircle the area within billions of miles so that they could conduct a thorough search.

What’s more, the Ding Clan—one of the four great clans—even contributed mysterious treasures that could spot people who were in hiding.

Only the Ding Clan had treasures like that; they were called Mercury Stones.

These stones focused heavenly powers and channeled them into space to cause turbulence. Although the Ding Clan did not contribute their best Mercury Stones and the turbulence generated were not considered powerful, they were good enough to locate both Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit. What’s more, the Ding Clan had a significant number of such low-grade Mercury Stones. Almost everyone who was participating in the search had one with them.

The Art of Concealment did not allow one to really disappear into thin air. Instead, it hid them so that others would not be able to detect their presence. This meant that their physical bodies were still present. Back then, the spatial turbulence that one particular Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast had caused exposed Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit’s bodies immediately. If the space in which the Mercury Stones worked was filled with turbulence, their bodies would not be exposed. However... strange phenomena would appear in the space. People searching would discover the two of them immediately.

Over a million people!

The number kept increasing, too. All the Random Star Islands were covered with people. Most of them were holding onto Mercury Stones, searching day and night, not leaving any stone unturned. All the cities were on lockdown, and nobody was allowed to leave. Many young masters and young mistresses also sent their King-Ranked formidable martial artists out, instructing them to kill Jiang Yi.

However—

These many people searched high and low for two full days and nights but did not manage to find Jiang Yi. It was almost like he had vanished into thin air. Not a single person had met him, and not a single person had any clue.

In such a short time—no matter how fast Jiang Yi traveled, he could not have escaped the Random Star Islands.

Where did the problem lie? Where could he be hiding? Did he really already leave the Chaos Sea?

Nobody knew the answers, and nobody could figure it out!

The crowd could not give up so easily. All they could do was continue to search. However, two days had already passed; people were not harboring much hope anymore. It looked like the King-Ranked martial artist and countless other martial artists had died in vain.

Should they chase him all the way to the Earth Domain?

This group of young masters and young mistresses did not have the guts to do so. It was not because they were afraid of the formidable martial artists in the Earth Domain but because the four Supreme Thearchs had strict rules. The Heaven Domain’s young masters and young mistresses were not allowed to cause trouble in the Earth Domain. If they did, they would be killed without question, no matter the reason!

The Earth Domain and Mortal Domain were the foundations of the Heaven Domain. Without the constant flow of martial artists from these two domains to the Earth Domain, the latter would not have enough resources. The Heaven Domain obviously could not hang on for much longer. There was once a young master who went down to cause trouble for the Earth Domain. The four Supreme Thearchs immediately gave orders that whoever went to the Lower Domain would be killed immediately.

The third day, the fourth day... the fifth day...

Five days later, all the people who went out to search for Jiang Yi returned. After such a long time, they still could not find him. There were only two possible explanations: either Jiang Yi had already left the Random Star Islands or he had already used a great mystical ability to return to the Earth Domain!

No matter which it was, Jiang Yi could no longer be found. The Chaos Sea was too huge. Even if they gathered ten million people, they would not be able to locate him.

The latter situation was more likely because the young masters and young mistresses had a special treasure: the Divine Escape Talisman.

Once activated, these Divine Escape Talismans would take them back to a special place in the Heaven Domain. The talismans were very precious. Most of the time—unless they were about to die, it would not be activated. Even some of their King-Ranked bodyguards did not have such a treasure. What if Jiang Yi had something like that? After all, he was the most talented man in the Earth Domain and had many connections with the most powerful people there as well.

They could not find Jiang Yi, but they could find the others. The remaining three people who possessed a Demon-Killing Pearl each had all been found. All of them were from the Heaven Domain. One of them was even a young master from a small clan.

Unsurprisingly, all three Demon-Killing Pearls were stolen. Apart from the young master of the small clan, the other two people were killed. The young masters and young mistresses had nowhere else to release their pent-up frustration, and the three of these people were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Twenty-six out of the twenty-seven Demon-Killing Pearls had been snatched. The Demon-Killing Palace was going to appear. Nobody could afford to waste any more time on Jiang Yi. Instead, they began to discuss how the loot should be distributed. Some young masters and young mistresses, who did not get Demon-Killing Pearls, could not walk away with nothing. Throughout history, these great family clans had always shared with them the chance to enter the Demon-Killing Palace. This time was no exception.

After several rounds of discussions, they all made their own secret arrangements. At last, the quota was met.

All the young masters and young mistresses would have a chance to enter the palace. However, some young masters and young mistresses had to sacrifice bringing their King-Ranked bodyguards with them. This time, they were to enter in four teams. Young Master Dao Feng, Young Mistress Gongyang, Young Mistress He, and the four great family clans of the Chaos Sea would each lead one team into the palace.

On the sixth day, all the young masters and young mistresses moved out toward the place where the Demon-Killing Palace was expected to appear. Nearby, many armies stood watch, stopping ordinary people from getting close. The group rested on a nearby island, waiting for the palace to appear.

...

“Young Lord, General! Those people are gone. What should we do?”

The Poison Spirit’s phantom figure floated into a small castle in Random Star City and gave an update to Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen who were seated inside.

Both Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen were in seclusion, training. When they heard the Poison Spirit’s update, they opened their eyes. Qi Qingchen said decisively, “Don’t worry. The Demon-Killing Palace’s gate will open in a day. We will only move out half a day after the Demon-Killing Palace appears.”

The most dangerous place was often the safest!

Jiang Yi, Qi Qingchen, and the Poison Spirit hid in the Random Star City for several days, right under the noses of the young masters and young mistresses. Those people could not find them because they did not think that they would be so bold as to hide in Random Star City, right under their noses.

The Phantom Race had always been the best at scouting and assassination. The Poison Spirit had already experienced being hunted down many times in the Earth Emanations Domain. Jiang Yi would not go so far as to say that he was the best scout and assassin among the Phantom Race, but he was definitely one of the top.

The Poison Spirit was very intelligent as well. The moment Jiang Yi passed out, he ran away, following closely behind the young masters and young mistresses into Random Star City. When he located a small yard, he took control of the family that owned it and then hid them in a safe place.

There were many formidable martial artists in the Random Star City, but they could not make use of their divine senses. What’s more, the entire city very quickly went into lockdown. Nobody expected that the Poison Spirit had already entered the city long ago. Nobody even looked around the city; thus, nobody knew that the three of them were hidden there.

“Young Lord, General!”

The Poison Spirit pondered for a while and then said worriedly, “I think we should hide in the Earth Domain. This is too dangerous. The Demon-Killing Palace is nearby. I’m afraid that we won’t be able to run if we get any treasures...”

“Poison Spirit, if you’re afraid, you can go back to the Earth to wait for us.”

Jiang Yi smiled and said, “We train in the martial dao in order to defy heaven and change our fate. If we don’t have the heart to defy heaven, how can we climb to the peak? If you’re afraid of everything, there would be no point in cultivating. We might as well go home and hug our spouses to sleep. This bunch of young masters in the Heaven Domain is useless; what is there to fear? Would real, top-tier young masters come here to look for treasures? They would be going to fight the Netherworld Realm Army, do you understand?”
