Qin Lie had not forgotten his goal amid the joyful cries of respect of the Soul Race experts. He looked at the Infinite Soul Sea and asked,

"Is Thamur still in the Soul Pavilion?

"

"Monarch, Thamur has not left the Soul Pavilion!

" one of the Soul Race experts said.

"Monarch, Thamur has your aura, is he your descendant?

" another Soul Race clansman said.

"He may be a soul avatar of the shadow beings' Saint God,

" Qin Lie said.

At these words, the Soul Race experts gathered here were shocked.

"Thamur is a shadow being?

"

"He, he clearly has monarch's presence. We thought... he was monarch's fourth child.

"

"He entered the Soul Pavilion, oh no!

"

"Damn it!

"

The Soul Race experts panicked when they heard Qin Lie's words.

Qin Lie was silent for a while. A green ray of light sprinted like lightning through the Infinite Soul Sea.

His soul ray of light flew for many seconds and then sensed the existence of the Soul Pavilion.

"Come out!

"

With a thought, a bright glittering pavilion flew out of the Infinite Soul Sea.

That pavilion seemed to be made from pieces of prismatic crystals that reflected light inside.

Once Soul Pavilion left Infinite Soul Sea, Qin Lie's expression changed slightly.

He did not sense any soul fluctuations in the Soul Pavilion. This meant... Thamur was not inside.

Many secrets of the Soul Race were within the Soul Pavilion. Only the patriarch of the Soul Race could cultivate and explore the Soul Pavilion.

Thamur hid in the Soul Race as one of its members, and mimicked his soul presence to become the Soul Race patriarch in order to enter the Soul Pavilion.

He wanted to learn about Imperial Soul Monarch’s arts and find a way to defeat him.

In the first battle, he and the Imperial Soul Monarch had both been injured, and no one had benefited.

In order for the shadow beings to consume this region of space, the Saint God would have to fight Imperial Soul Monarch again. The Saint God had been scheming in preparation for it in secret.

He knew his only match would be the Imperial Soul Monarch.

For this, he made a subsoul to go deep into the Soul Race before the Imperial Soul Monarch woke up in hopes he could understand the Soul Race's secrets.

He was preparing for the second fight.

"Monarch, is Thamur in the Soul Pavilion?

"

"Where has he gone?

"

"When I passed by the Soul Pavilion not long ago, I sensed his presence.

"

"Strange.

"

The experts of the Soul Race were in heavy moods as they stared at the crystal Soul Pavilion.

"He must have noticed I’ve woken up,

" Qin Lie said gravely.

"Monarch, had he secretly left before you came?

" Vik asked.

Qin Lie nodded.

"It should be so.

"

As he spoke, green threads of light flew out of his eyes.

The soul strands entered the Soul Pavilion like snakes and roamed inside.

Qin Lie sensed the movement inside the Soul Pavilion.

The Soul Race was unlike the physical races of the universe. The Soul Race did not have a Chaos Blood Realm.

The Soul Race with their pure soul state did not have a Chaos Blood Realm and so they were unable to use their own bloodlines to inherit and leave behind secrets of their bloodlines.

To make up for this, the Imperial Soul Monarch created the Soul Pavilion and imprinted many secret soul arts he had comprehended there.

The existence of the Soul Pavilion was meant to help experts of the Soul Race to comprehend secrets of the soul arts and break through their limits.

All of the rank ten soulline clansmen had gone to Soul Pavilion before and studied the secret arts of the Soul Race.

Qin Lie's soul light roamed in the Soul Pavilion and could faintly sense the weak presence left behind by Thamur.

With that he could conclude that Thamur hadn’t left long ago.

Maybe the moment he stepped into Soul Realm, Thamur sensed him and immediately left.

That Thamur was just a soul avatar of the Saint God and knew once he arrived, the avatar would die.

In order to avoid unnecessary expenditure, Thamur decisively left. This was a wise choice.

"Studying the secrets of the Soul Race, wanting to find a way to defeat me...

" Qin Lie thought, his eyes deep.

"Monarch, are the shadow beings about to stage a major invasion?

" Vik said worriedly.

"Yes, they will come soon,

" Qin Lie said.

"What should our race do?

" Vik asked.

"This time is unlike the past. Our race needs to work together with other races to stop the shadow beings from ever coming back!

" Qin Lie said.

Qin Lie's Soul Tree flew out of the body of the Soul Beast.

"Whoosh!

"

The Soul Tree entered the Soul Pavilion.

"My subsoul will carefully study the soul secret arts inside the Soul Pavilion and help my main body awaken completely.

"

As he spoke, the Soul Pavilion sank back into the Infinite Soul Sea.

……

Flaming Sun Purgatory.

The ultimate flame was still burning. Vermillion Bird Realm's world was still in turmoil.

However, as the fire spirit's understanding of the ultimate flame deepened, and the flame in the sky seemed to have gained a bit of the fire spirit’s presence.

As the presence of the fire spirit strengthened in the ultimate flame, its terrifying power started to decrease.

After a while, the fire spirit seemed to have completely refined the ultimate flame. The presence of the ultimate flame gave off was identical to the soul presence of the fire spirit.

The land of fire was no longer influenced by the ultimate flame.

The fire spirit in the shape of the fire qilin gradually appeared from the ultimate flame.

In the end, the ultimate flame completely disappeared, and the fire spirit appeared clearly out of the ultimate flame.

"Yiya! Yiyayiya!

"

Qin Lie's main soul and the two subsouls all felt the fire spirit's joy and excitement in this moment.

The bloodline of the fire spirit finally reached rank ten through the ultimate flame!

The Spirit of Void and Chaos at its peak!

"Crack crack! Crack crack crack!

"

Almost at the same time, Qin Lie's giant body submerged in the Origin Sea let out cracking and popping sounds as its body expanded.

Qin Lie's body slowly grew from nine thousand and nine hundred meters to over ten thousand meters!

When his body reached ten thousand meters, his assimilation with the remnant memories inside the Soul Suppressing Orb sped up more than tenfold.

His Blood Soul Beast avatar greatly increased its speed at sorting out the Soul Race secret art inside the Soul Pavilion.

"Boom! Boom!

"

At this moment, the land of Flaming Sun Purgatory uncontrollably expanded.

Each Great Lord of the Abyss detected that a part of the fundamental, origin power of their level was taken.

The fragments of origin power entered the Origin Sea of Flaming Sun Purgatory and caused the change of Flaming Sun Purgatory.

"The new Abyss Master is born!

"

"The Flaming Sun Monarch's bloodline transcended rank ten in such a short time!

"

"One hundred and eight levels of the Abyss finally have a master.

"

"The Abyss will be united under the Flaming Sun Monarch.

"
