Chapter 1606: People from the Heaven Domain Arriving

The Chaos Sea was a very magical place!

This was the space between the Heaven Domain and the Earth Domain; it could be said to be an enormous mystic realm.

Originally, heading to the Heaven Domain from the Earth Domain required ascension; only King-Ranked formidable martial artists could ascend. However, as the Netherworld Realm’s assaults on the Heaven Domain grew more severe and the situation grew grim, the powerful men of the Heaven Domain created many formidable Teleportation Formations in the Chaos Sea thousands of years ago. That way, Earth Domain’s God Thearch-equivalent formidable martial artists could teleport first to the Chaos Sea and then from there to the Heaven Domain. This way, even if one did not ascend, he could enter the Heaven Domain and join in the battle.

A fog was ever-present in the Chaos Sea. There weren’t any huge continents here but islands floating in midair, just like a sea. Hence, this place had been called the Chaos Sea!

Chaos Island was a huge island suspended in midair. This island was more like a huge rock floating in midair just like the Lava Wasteland.

The Chaos Sea was known as the place of ten thousand immortal mountains and prefectures; it actually just meant the ten thousand islands floating in midair.

These ten thousand islands were all controlled by four supreme family clans that had a close and intimate relationship with the powerful clans in the Heaven Domain.

The four great clans in the Chaos Sea were all indigenous divine races; ascendants did not have the right to claim any authority in this place. The four great clans also ostracized the Earth Domain formidable martial artists; no matter how strong one was, one couldn’t join their clans.

Things were rather free and easy in the Chaos Sea. As long as one did not cause trouble within a city, there were no other rules or restrictions. One could go anywhere they wanted, and no one would stop them.

Of course…

All the treasures and lands with abundance within the Chaos Sea were all under the four great clans’ control. If one didn’t try to take their resources, steal their possessions, or piss them off; they couldn’t be bothered with someone.

Hence, the Earth Domain formidable martial artists basically didn’t come to the Chaos Sea as there were no benefits to be reaped. In the Earth Domain, they could still vie for supremacy and become a Sovereign over a domain while if they went to the Heaven Domain, they could also fight with the Netherworld Race and—one step at a time—make a name for themselves and even get a prefecture or region to govern.

In the Chaos Sea—unless one had the ability to destroy the four supreme family clans, one would not be able to benefit at all; one wouldn’t even have the right to become a small city lord.

“The four great clans of the Chaos Sea are actually rather smart!”

After hearing Qi Qingchen’s explanation of the Chaos Sea, Jiang Yi was impressed. The four great clans joined forces to exclude outsiders and refused to give up their territory. This way, their supremacy was assured.

If Earth Domain formidable martial artists kept on teleporting here and taking over territory and land piece by piece or if they instigated tension and conflict among the four great clans—in a few decades, the Chaos Sea would definitely fall into chaos, and all their territories would be up for grabs.

“That’s right!”

Qi Qingchen nodded and said, “Many Earth Domain formidable martial artists had actually wanted to come and carve a piece of territory for themselves; they were all jointly suppressed by the four great clans. You have heard of the Blood-Thirsty King and Runaway King, right? The two had come here as well and almost ended up killed. The Blood-Thirsty King had wanted to join a supreme family clan, but that clan ignored him completely. They didn’t even want a King-Ranked formidable martial artist to be their watchman…”

“En-En!”

Jiang Yi gestured and said, “Let’s not care about them. In any case, we are not here to cause trouble. After finding the Demon-Killing Palace and the treasures within, we will return to the Earth Domain immediately.”

“Alright.”

Qi Qingchen nodded in assent. She had immediately left Chaos Island after teleporting there precisely because she didn’t want any trouble. The duo would use the Demon-Killing Pearl to find the Demon-Killing Palace, look for treasures within, and return to the Earth Domain.

Swish!

The war chariot’s speed was decent; it was comparable to a Titled Battle God’s. Although the Chaos Sea was vast, they still had half a month; they should be able to locate the Demon-Killing Palace by then.

…

“Eh?”

More than twenty hours after Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen teleported to the Chaos Sea, a huge Teleportation Formation within the Demon-Buster Valley lit up, astonishing everyone.

This Teleportation Formation had been dormant for a very long time; it was not used normally, and no one would use it ordinary to teleport here. This Teleportation Formation linked directly to the Chaos Sea.

Under ordinary circumstances, all domains’ formidable martial artists would directly teleport back to their own domains if they came from the Heaven Domain or the Chaos Sea; rarely would anyone teleport to the Demon-Buster Valley. That only left one explanation: the person teleporting over was from the Heaven Domain.

As expected!

After the Teleportation Formation lit up for twenty hours, a few figures appeared within the Teleportation Formation. They were one and all Titled Battle Gods and wore Battle God Pavilion battle armor. Their attitude was rather high and lofty, seemingly looking down at the people around them.

“Greetings to my Lords!”

The commander guarding the Teleportation Formation hurriedly bowed in respect. Without saying, these few were definitely from the Heaven Domain great family clans. One of the elders in this group glanced over and said, “I am Han Ji, an elder of the Han Clan; bring me to see your commander-in-chief.”

“From the Han Clan?”

The commander grew even more courteous and respectful. The Han Clan was very reputable in the Heaven Domain. The Han Clan Head was a general under the Azure Supreme Thearch and wielded great power and influence.

The commander brought Han Ji and company into the commander-in-chief castle as the city plaza grew boisterous. Under ordinary circumstances, no one would come here from the Heaven Domain. Every time someone came, something big had happened; could it be the case this time as well?

After a few hours, information started to leak out and caused a commotion in the Demon-Buster Army camp and the entire Earth Domain.

The men from the Han Clan had asked Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long to help them spread the word: they were here in the Earth Domain to look for something. It was an azure pearl with dragon patterns. Whoever could find this pearl, they were willing to exchange it for two Primitive Spiritual Treasures, out of which one was an attack-type battle saber! Furthermore, this person would be able to join the Han Clan directly when he went to the Heaven Domain next time!

Once this news spread, the ten thousand domains in the Earth Domain were energized.

Many people actually did not know of the existence of the Demon-Killing Pearls. They desperately searched high and low for any azure pearl as pictures depicting this pearl were sent out from the Demon-Killing Pavilion and Battle God Pavilion. Those who had the pictures took them and went to find this pearl. In twenty-odd hours, a few hundred pearls were handed in for inspection; not one was it.

Many great family clans also activated their men to search for this. These great family clans have heard of the Demon-Killing Pearl before. Of course, they wouldn’t tell the entire world about it. They knew that if they had this pearl, they could enter the Demon-Killing Palace or sell it to the Han Clan. It was worth two Primitive Spiritual Treasures after all.

The ten thousand domains were turned upside-down. Many formidable martial artists even went to all the huge mystic realms to search; the entire Earth Domain started to go crazy over the two Primitive Spiritual Treasure rewards. Battles ensued in many places, and the death toll started to rise. Someone had claimed to have found a pearl that looked like what the Han Clan was looking for.

The Green Eagle King was in seclusion and didn’t bother with worldly matters. However, the Phantom King, the Wintry Sovereign, the Earth Emanations Sovereign, and some others felt that something was amiss. Especially the Wintry Sovereign—who knew of the Demon-Killing Pearl’s existence—was even more suspicious and confused.

How did the Han Clan know that there was a Demon-Killing Pearl in the Earth Domain? Could their clan possess some powerful mystical ability that could sense that a pearl had entered the Earth Domain?

Even if their clan had known about this, why were they looking for it so openly? Wasn’t this telling all the Earth Domain great family clans that a Demon-Killing Pearl was in the Earth Domain? If a great family clan really found it, why would it sell it to the Han Clan?

At that moment, the Wintry Sovereign also didn’t manage to connect the dots; he just felt that something was not right.

He activated the Wintry Domain’s men to feint a search for the Demon-Killing Pearl, to try and hide the fact that it was with Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen. At the same time, he also asked someone to pass off as the duo to occasionally head out and stroll within the Wintry City.

This commotion ensued for a whole day before it ended!

A rumor started to spread: that someone had seen Jiang Yi with that pearl, and he had brought it to the Chaos Sea together with Qi Qingchen and Poison Spirit. That pearl was no other than the Demon-Killing Pearl.

The news spread within a few hours throughout the entire Earth Domain; it could not be contained. After the Wintry Sovereign, the Phantom King, the Earth Emanations Sovereign, and others found out about this; their expressions immediately changed. The three Kings had a very bad feeling about this matter.

The Han Clan’s arrival in the Earth Domain to search for the Demon-Killing Pearl was obviously a fluke; the real intention was to let the whole world know that Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen had gone to the Demon-Killing Palace to hunt for treasures.
