Chapter 1423: Restricted by the Rules

Qin Lie’s figure abruptly appeared above the Origin Sea of Flaming Sun Abyss.

Since he shared a special connection with the Flaming Sun Abyss and the Origin Crystal, he was able to appear here instantly using the Demon Spirit and Time and Space’s bloodline.

His Flesh Filling Tombstone was brimming with flesh and blood energy as it slowly flew out of its body and floated. Its surface was covered in wriggling blood threads that looked like strands of muscles, giving the impression that it was alive.

Qin Lie let out a long sigh of relief before calming down. Then, he began absorbing the flesh and blood energy inside the Flesh Filling Tombstone to restore his own strength.

Assad and Narsen were right in their assessment. The only reason he was able to kill dozens of rank eight and nine Abyss Devils in an instant was because of the Demon Spirit of Space and Time’s bloodline secret art and the unique environment they had fought in.

For example, if the fight hadn’t occurred at a black hole cluster, he wouldn’t have been able to manipulate the black holes using his bloodline secret art.

Those destructive black holes were a trap a powerful Demon Spirit of Space and Time had deployed to protect its nest. It had the ability to manipulate the deadliest power of nature in the world to wipe out any living being.

Forget a rank eight or rank nine Abyss Devil, even a rank ten Great Lord of the Abyss would’ve been annihilated by those terrifying black holes.

However, there was a catch. He was losing Demon Spirit of Space and Time bloodline energy rapidly when he manipulated those black holes to kill the Abyss Devils.

In fact, just luring those Abyss Devils into the black holes, killing them and redirecting their blood into the Flesh Filling Tombstone had nearly exhausted all of his Demon Spirit of Space and Time bloodline energy.

If he hadn’t chosen to leave immediately, he might not have had enough bloodline energy to create a star door that would take him back to the Flaming Sun Abyss.

Unlike the God Race’s bloodline inside his body, the Demon Spirit of Space and Time’s bloodline energy couldn’t be restored instantly using the Flesh Filling Tombstone.

At this point, Qin Lie was gradually realizing that the core bloodline in his body was still the God Race bloodline.

The God Race’s Flesh Filling Tombstone was obviously effective when he used it to restore his God Race bloodline energy, but the same couldn’t be said for the Abyss Devil Race bloodline and Demon Spirit of Space and Time bloodline at all.

That was why he had no choice but to travel back to the Flaming Sun Abyss and spend some time restoring his depleted bloodline energy.

His expression was peaceful and his mind was calm as he was restoring his bloodline energy.

He had once flown around the world as a soul after the Origin World had transformed into the Flaming Sun Abyss. At the time, he had experienced an unusual feeling already.

This time, the experience was even clearer and more impactful than before, probably because his body was here as well.

He felt as if he had returned “home” for some reason, and this feeling… was quite similar to when he had activated the Demon Spirit of Space and Time’s bloodline in the abyss passageway.

There were differences, however. For example, his soul perception seemed to be limitless within the Flaming Sun Abyss!

All he needed to do was to will his mind, and his soul perception would extend all the way to the farthest edge of Flaming Sun Abyss!

It was a strange, “godlike” perception, to say the least.

“Abyss Creator, this is an ability unique to the creator of an Abyss level…” The realization struck him.

Suddenly, he sensed a tiny bloodline activity from his second heart.

It was where his Abyss Devil Race bloodline had nested in.

He tried using his soul consciousness to trace the tiny bloodline activity, sense its origin and identify its meaning.

In an instant, his soul arrived at the entrance leading to the abyss passageway like an invisible eye.

One of the biggest changes that had occurred inside the Origin World after its transformation into the Flaming Sun Abyss was the existence of the abyss passageway.

In fact, this abyss passageway led to where he had lingered not long ago, and he could use it to travel to unknown realms or any Abyss level.

“Whoosh!”

A rank eight Lightning Devil with wings suddenly burst out of abyss passageway while covered in blood.

This was the first guest ever to make it to the Flaming Sun Abyss.

This was the reason why his bloodline had grown slightly restless just now. It was one way the Abyss Creator was alerted of a new arrival.

It felt like a mysterious power that he, the creator of the Flaming Sun Abyss naturally possessed over this world, even though he was only at rank eight bloodline.

“A rank eight visitor…”

Qin Lie grinned. By now, he had guessed that the Lightning Devil had traveled into the Flaming Sun Abyss with the goal of killing him. It wanted to devour Qin Lie’s heart and claim his unique status for himself.

This arrival of this Lightning Devil was clearly just the beginning. Soon, he saw even more rank eight Abyss Devils pouring their way into the Flaming Sun Abyss.

Moreover, it looked like these rank eight Abyss Devils had undergone some battles. In fact, some of them were still fighting each other as they made their way into Flaming Sun Abyss.

“Such pure abyss devil energy!”

“The abyss devil energy here is so thick! It hasn’t scattered itself throughout the entire world just yet. Even if we fail to kill the creator, this is still a good place to linger around for the moment!”

“Yes, I can sense that the birth of new Abyss Devil-ish lifeforms in this place. The lowest rank Abyss Devil is about to be born.”

“This is a new world that is filled with infinite life!”

Most of the Abyss Devils looked amazed and curious after exploring the area near the abyss passageway.

“Mn. Thamur, Oktan!”

The arrival of two new faces caught Qin Lie slightly by surprise. He subconsciously cried out their names in his mind.

Last time, after he had successfully seized control of the Origin Crystal, he had gained a special level of control over the Origin World.

As a result, Thamur and Oktan had no choice but to escape.

But now the Origin World had evolved into the Flaming Sun Abyss, and he was officially an Abyss Creator. He didn’t think that Thamur and Oktan would dare make a return.

“Are they here to commit suicide…?” he thought to himself in astonishment.

Although the formation of the Flaming Sun Abyss was just as fresh as his new identity as an Abyss Creator, the amount of power he could unleash using the Origin Crystal he had transformed into his Soul Altar far exceeded most rank eight bloodline warriors.

This meant that Thamur and Oktan were unlikely to be a match for him.

Moreover, he could sense the tiniest changes in the visitors’ bloodlines and soul using his consciousness.

This meant that his opponent couldn’t hide anything from him as long as they were in the Flaming Sun Abyss.

“Such boring opponents.”

Qin Lie shook his head and tried to open a new star door. He was going to summon his Blood Soul Beast avatar and restore its strength with the freshly-refine flesh and blood energy inside the Flesh Filling Tombstone.

He was certain that it was enough to boost the Blood Soul Beast’s bloodline all the way to the peak of rank nine.

This also meant that the Blood Soul Beast and Dark Soul Beast would soon be equal in power.

But when he tried to open a star door using the Demon Spirit of Space and Time’s bloodline, he suddenly discovered that his ability had failed.

Then, a new restlessness appeared from inside his second heart. It was his Abyss Devil Race bloodline.

Suddenly, Qin Lie realized that his abilities had been restricted by the laws of the Abyss. For now, he couldn’t summon anyone who was related to him using the Demon Spirit of Space and Time’s bloodline.

As the creator of the Flaming Sun Abyss, he had to obey the ancient laws of the Abyss and fight his challengers for a certain amount of time.

It was a responsibility that he must fulfill.
