Chapter 744 - 350: Heir of Destiny, Pale Red Phantom_2
Just then, the virtual shadow raised its head, eyes fixating directly on Lu Yi.
It was a handsome young man, almost identical to the members of the Red Clan.
Between his brows seemed to contain a sense of majesty, as if he were a sovereign seated upon a throne.
However, at this moment, a look of shock surfaced on the imposing face of the young man as he murmured softly, “…Destiny? No, that’s not right.”
Afterwards, the young man seemed to understand something and chuckled lightly, “The inheritor of Fate, is Jiuyou still around?”
The seemingly casual voice of the young man contained endless Tao Yun, which, if a Fire Element Cultivator were to commune with him, would be enough to make that Cultivator fall into Sudden Enlightenment.
Lu Yi was astonished to his core.
An Immortal King? A Fire Element Immortal King?
No… there seems to be something off about the state of this Immortal King.
He has no physical body?
Is it a soul body?
And while Flames of Origin Power circulated around him, his aura was not strong; instead, the golden-red halo floating beside him looked very tranquil, yet it contained the power to destroy heaven and earth.
Lu Yi was very familiar with this kind of power; it was the aura of an Acquired Spirit Treasure.
That golden-red halo must be an Acquired Spirit Treasure!
One should know that even Immortal Venerable Level beings might not possess many Acquired Spirit Treasures, and if the news of an Acquired Spirit Treasure here were to spread, the Immortal Venerables of all surrounding Star Domains would probably go mad.
Of course, to Lu Yi, his heart remained calm, for he already possessed several Acquired Spirit Treasures.
The focus of Lu Yi’s attention was not on the quality of the treasure.
He watched thoughtfully as the golden-red halo hovered next to the faint red virtual shadow.
This virtual shadow seemed to exist only by relying on this Acquired Spirit Treasure. Could it be the remaining soul of an Immortal King?
Lu Yi felt that this was unlikely. For an Immortal King, even if only the soul remained, reconstructing a physical body would not be difficult.
Moreover, the strength of an Immortal King’s soul could not be so weak.
Lu Yi did not reply. The scene continued to shift, and soon, he saw several swaying Red Immortal Lotuses amidst the sea of fire.
The Immortal Lotuses exuded an extremely rich Immortal Spirit Qi, and even strands of Origin Power were escaping.
These were Immortal Lotuses of Immortal King Level!
The scene flickered, and swiftly, Lu Yi felt a tremendous consumption of his own Immortal Spirit Qi, struggling to maintain the Fate Skill, so he ceased his efforts.
As Lu Yi stopped, his aura plummeted rapidly, and then the Yin Yang Tao Seal in the center of his forehead flickered with light, and Liu Ningshuang and the other three appeared.
Their faces too were somewhat pale.
Donggong Ming Yue looked towards Lu Yi and asked, “Senior brother, how is it? Did you see any Fate?”
Lu Yi chuckled lightly, “There’s no danger, instead, there are quite a few opportunities.”
Hearing this, even the ever-composed Liu Ningshuang couldn’t help but brighten her eyes.
“Many opportunities? Could they be at the level of an Immortal King?” Jian Ruyu’s eyes were lit up with excitement.
Lu Yi nodded slightly, “Mhm.”
The breaths of Liu Ningshuang and the others grew heavier, their faces filled with eagerness.
“Senior brother, let’s quickly open this space, shall we? Let’s go in now!” Donggong Ming Yue exclaimed, as if she couldn’t wait to rush into this land of opportunities.
Seeing Donggong Ming Yue’s excited manner, Lu Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “How old are you to be so impetuous? We need to prepare first.”
Lu Yi and his companions were all greatly depleted in strength, and even if they wanted to open this space anomaly, they would need to recover their powers to their best condition.
Actually, Lu Yi wasn’t too interested in the opportunities within, as no matter it was Immortal Treasures or cultivation treasures, he could always get them by completing Tasks and going through dungeons.
What made Lu Yi curious was the virtual shadow that resembled the Red Clan.
Perhaps, the Red Clan was not as simple as they appeared; after all, their natural talent was extraordinary, nearly everyone among them was a Fire Spirit Body, something not even the Yu Family could claim.
Long before now, Lu Yi had suspected there was something problematic with the Red Clan.
Now it seemed, there was certainly a connection between the Red Clan and the Immortal King’s virtual shadow within the sea of fire.
What Lu Yi couldn’t understand was, if they were the race of Immortal Kings, why, according to what Red Butterfly and the Red King said, had not a single Immortal appeared among the Red Clan since its inception until Red Butterfly was captured?
During this period, there must have been things that even Lu Yi couldn’t comprehend.
Apart from this, what Lu Yi was most concerned about were the words previously spoken by that phantom.
Jiuyou!
That phantom had clearly had a significant connection with the Immortal King, and that fellow actually knew about Jiuyou?
Moreover, he even asked if Jiuyou still existed?
This Fire Immortal King might have quite a substantial intersection with Jiuyou, perhaps not just this Immortal King.
If he asked about Jiuyou first thing, it indicated that in the cosmos at that time, Jiuyou was probably a well-known existence even to Immortals.
Given that, the other Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors would likely also be aware of Jiuyou’s existence.
At this thought, Lu Yi’s gaze flickered. The Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors had been missing for countless years, could it be related to Jiuyou?
This was the question Lu Yi most wanted to know.
After all, from what little Lu Yi had gathered about Jiuyou, it was apparent that Jiuyou was immensely powerful.
If an accident occurred in the Jiuyou Battlefield and Jiuyou entered the universe, it would probably be a huge disaster, and no one would be spared.
There is now apparently a fierce entity in Jiuyou that has set its sights on him.
If Jiuyou really did enter the universe, given his current rate of absorption of Tao Treasures and Chaos Treasures, there would likely be more than one entity targeting him by then.
Lu Yi wanted to know just how powerful Jiuyou really was and how to deal with it.
If the disappearance of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors was indeed related to Jiuyou, could it be that they were dead?
If the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors were still alive, where were they now?
Currently, this was the only channel through which Lu Yi could learn about the situation, and he wanted to seize it.
According to the feedback from the Fate Skill, there was no danger in entering that sea of flames; the phantom posed no threat either, harboring no malice towards him in terms of destiny.
That was also why Lu Yi wanted to go and communicate with it.
“Alright, let’s recover first,” Donggong Ming Yue said with a pitiful glance at Lu Yi after he spoke, then sat down on the side and began to recuperate.
Liu Ningshuang and the others naturally began to recover as well.
Like them, Lu Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, restoring his own power.
Lu Yi’s foundation was extremely strong now, so naturally, his recovery speed was also very fast.
Before long, Lu Yi had completely regained his strength.
He glanced at Liu Ningshuang and the others, who were still recuperating, and did not disturb them.
It took quite a while before Liu Ningshuang and the others were fully restored.
Their first reaction was to look towards Lu Yi.
“Lu Yi, shall we start?” Yun Xi asked.
Lu Yi nodded slightly, “You all go out, so you won’t get affected by what comes next.”
“Okay.”
Liu Ningshuang and the others nodded and left the room.
Lu Yi took a deep breath and began using the Space Law to comb through the spatial threads at the location of the spatial anomaly.
Since the Small World was already gravitating towards the real universe, what Lu Yi needed to do was simply to go with the flow; he didn’t need excessive power, but rather a fine control to prevent the integration of the Small World into the real universe from causing too much disturbance, collapsing space, and creating a massive space storm.
If that really happened, then the entire Red Star would likely be swallowed by the space storm.
In fact, if Lu Yi didn’t intervene, the natural collision of the Small World with the real universe would definitely create a space storm; it was just uncertain how large it would be.
If the scale was small, it might only destroy this palace complex; if it was large, then the Red Star would definitely be obliterated, and if even larger, maybe the entire Red Star System would be devoured by the space storm.
However, Lu Yi, who mastered the Perfect Level of Space Law, had extremely strong control over space. Combing through spatial threads to allow a gentle contact between the Small World and the real universe was not too difficult for him, it was just a bit troublesome and required delicate manipulation.
Nonetheless, Lu Yi was willing to undertake such operations.
As Lu Yi started to comb through the spatial threads, the distortion in space grew more significant, and even a small space hole began to appear.
