“The Saint God?”

Qin Lie asked in astonishment, “Was that Saint God the one who carried the Dark Shadow World away?”

“Their Saint God is the only one who can use all of the Sea of Annihilation’s power,” Qin Hao said while staring at the empty spot where the Dark Shadow World used to be. “The Sea of Annihilation can reel in any separated Dark Shadow World back into its range instantly, even if they are star realms apart.”

“I have the Galaxy Mirror, but I can’t find where those Dark Shadow Worlds have gone to,” Qin Lie said.

“That’s normal. The Sea of Annihilation is the most enigmatic place in the universe,” Qin Hao said.

“The Dark Shadow Worlds have vanished!”

“The shadow beings have been chased away by Qin Lie!”

“Qin Lie is too strong after he became a Devil Monarch!”

The foreign experts and the martial practitioners of Ji Family and Sky Mender Palace shouted while rushing over.

Kermit of the Winged Race saluted Qin Lie solemnly and said, “Thank you! The Winged Race would’ve been hard-pressed to deal with the shadow beings without you.”

“You’re welcome,” Qin Lie replied with a grin.

“Young Master Qin!”

“Flaming Sun Monarch, our realm is also invaded by the shadow beings. Please lend us your help.”

“Ours too.”

All the experts who had gone to the outer realms asked for Qin Lie’s help excitedly.

They had seen with their own eyes the Great Lord of the Abyss form of Qin Lie rushing into the Dark Shadow World and killing the shadow beings in droves.

The shadow beings seemed incapable of slightest resistance.

Not only did a large number of shadow beings perish in that battle, even the Dark Shadow Worlds had vanished into nothing.

Qin Lie was an expert who terrified even the shadow beings. That was why they thought he could save them.

“Flaming Sun Monarch, please tell us your conditions,” Tutan of the Multihand Race said seriously.

“The Star Moon Race can provide you anything the Multihand Race can,” Manon chimed in.

“It’s the same with us!” the other representatives declared.

“Little Lie, don’t push yourself.” Qin Shan shot the foreign experts a glance before saying, “In my opinion, we should consider this at length.”

“That’s right,” Qin Hao said seriously.

Qin Lie, now a giant Abyss Devil looked down at the foreign experts from an elevated position before grinning. He said, “Anything is negotiable.”

“Whoosh!”

He suddenly tore open a giant star door before passing through it with the six great Spirits of Void and Chaos.

“Everyone, let’s return to Sky Bearing City first.”

His Dark Soul Beast avatar declared loudly after his main body had left.

“Alright!”

“Let us return to Sky Bearing City!”

And so, the foreign experts, Sky Mender Palace, the Ji Family and the Qin Family went back to Sky Bearing City.

Even Kermit of the Winged Race and Lina followed.

In Kermit’s opinion, the shadow beings might return to the Winged Race one day as long as they were still alive.

That was why he took Lina with him to Sky Bearing City. Also, he wanted to show his gratitude.

It didn’t take long before every expert was gathered at Sky Bearing City.

Because Qin Lie’s main body had gone somewhere, his Dark Soul Beast avatar was in charge instead. Also, Qin Lie had apparently replaced Qin Hao as the center of attention.

“I think their Saints will be involved in my next fight against the shadow beings,” Qin Lie said while looking at Qin Hao. “I… don’t know much about their Saints.”

The foreign experts fell silent when they heard this.

For now, no Saints had joined in on the shadow beings’ invasion of the star realms.

According to Qin Hao, the ten Saints of the shadow beings were only inferior to Tian Qi and Lieyan Yuan.

The four transcendent races were the only one who could defend themselves against such a threat. Neither the Multihand Race nor the Star Moon Race had a good chance against them.

“It shouldn’t be difficult for you to fight one or two Saints at the same time.” Qin Hao had witnessed Qin Lie’s power with his own eyes, so he could more or less estimate his strength. “Even if the shadow beings tried to send three to five Saints after you, you should be able to escape easily with the Galaxy Mirror.”

He fell silent for a moment before continuing, “However, if the Saint God went after you… you’d still be no match for him.”

“There shouldn’t be anyone in the entire universe who’s a match for the Saint God besides the Imperial Soul Monarch.”

“Even Tian Qi and Lieyan Yuan are slightly inferior to the Saint God, unless they enter the ultimate realm.”

Qin Lie listened seriously to Qin Hao’s explanation before saying, “The shadow beings have taken notice of me. I’m sure my next opponent would be a Saint at least.”

“You’ll need to deal with this carefully,” Qin Hao said in a low tone.

“I would like to understand the shadow beings better,” Qin Lie said.

Qin Hao considered the request before glancing at the foreign experts. Finally, he nodded. “Alright!”

He started speaking to Qin Lie through the soul…

The foreign experts and the martial practitioners of the Ji Family and Sky Mender Palace noticed that Qin Hao was doing something with his soul, but they couldn’t confirm exactly what.

All they knew was that Qin Hao was probably passing down his secret knowledge and understanding of the shadow beings to Qin Lie.

There were a lot of secret information that Qin Hao wasn’t willing to share with outsiders.

After Qin Lie’s main body had turned into a Great Lord of the Abyss and displayed sufficient strength, Qin Hao finally decided to reveal everything he knew about the shadow beings to Qin Lie.

……

Meanwhile, at another location.

Qin Lie’s seven-thousand-meter-tall-Abyss Devil’s body shrank down to the size of a normal human. Right now, he was only two meters tall.

He had passed through a spatial rift and arrived at an icy realm. He stood in the middle of the glaciers and waited.

The wind here was harsh and cold. It looked like the towering glaciers were holding palaces inside them.

“Who are you?”

A thin figure emerged from inside the glacier and stared at him coldly.

It was a Profound Ice Family member.

Qin Lie gave him a smile before activating his God Race bloodline a little. A flame immediately rose from his palm.

“You’re from the Blaze Family?” The Profound Ice Family member’s expression changed slightly before he asked, “Who do you obey, Lieyan Yuan or Lieyan Zhao?”

Qin Lie shook his head and answered, “I obey neither.”

“Then who are you…?” the man asked suspiciously.

“Senior Han Che has returned, hasn’t he? Is Senior An Hao and Senior Lieyan Zhao with him as well?” Qin Lie asked.

“Who in the world are you?” the man exclaimed in shock.

For now, the return of the three patriarchs was a secret. Only a handful of people knew that they had returned. That was why Qin Lie’s question had puzzled him greatly.

“I am Qin Lie.”

“Ah! It’s you! Please, come with me!”
