Chapter 1231: The Battle Of The Blaze Realm

As she looked out at the flaming whip off in the distance, Lilyrose's eyes flickered. "The Blaze Realm spent a lot to request an Array Master to set up this formation. This particular one needs many people to work together to activate this whip, and I have been one of them before."

Wei Rong smiled. "His Highness greatly appreciates your efforts. I hope that you can bring us good news."

Lilyrose walked out into space without another word, and she soon appeared outside the Blaze Realm’s defensive flames in a different direction. She was not certain what to do, but the flames did not attack her and allowed her to pass through.

The flaming whip moved like a fiery snake connected to the ground. It continued to grow bigger and stronger, and its power level rose higher and higher until just glancing would cause people’s scalps to go numb.

If this whip fell on their forces, then the Great Eastern Alliance would be finished.

Wei Rong immediately ordered a retreat, as he could not place his complete trust in Lilyrose.

For as long as the Blaze Realm had existed in Blazing Mist Flowzone, it had always occupied the location closest to the Outerverse and overseen the Astral River Ark. If the Blaze Realm could be defeated this easily, then their entire history would have been for nothing.

Even if Leader Hong had been seriously injured, and even if their Enlighters such as Monster Chi, Si Penghai, and Huo Houye had all died in battle with their Heavenflame Army had been completely annihilated, the Blaze Realm still would not be easily defeated.

At this moment, Madam Lan was still in the Blaze Realm. She was Leader Hong’s wife, and she was an expert with a terrifying power level of 400,000.

She was not well known, not even within the Blaze Realm. This was entirely because of Leader Hong's temperament, which Madam Lan found unacceptable. Since she was unable to deal with her husband, she usually chose to cultivate in seclusion. Even when the Sixth Mainland had attacked, her residence had been quickly and quietly moved away without her awakening.

She had remained in a state of cultivation for thousands of years, but at this moment, she was awakened by the Great Eastern Alliance’s attack.

Aside from Madam Lan, the Blaze Realm had another Enlighter who had long been forgotten. His surname was Tan, and his given name had long since been forgotten. Everyone called him Elder Tan. He was incredibly timid, and he was also the youngest and weakest Enlighter within the Blaze Realm.

The Great Eastern Alliance had attacked when Leader Hong was seriously injured, and Elder Tan was unable to support the Blaze Realm on his own. So, he had been forced to wake Madam Lan up.

A massive flaming planet lay at the center of the Blaze Realm. The air, water, and everything on this planet was full of heat, and one had to be an Explorer at the very least to survive on the planet. This was the heart of the Blaze Realm: Planet Red.

Off in the distance, away from the planet, one could see the Blaze Realm’s most powerful defensive measures which were even able to hold off an Envoy.

From where she was on Planet Red, Madam Lan frowned. She was about as old as Leader Hong, but she looked very young. She wore a sheer, translucent red dress, and long hair hung to her waist. Her feet were bare as she stepped off the planet and into space, her figure incredibly seductive.

Back where he had remained behind, Elder Tan swallowed, not even daring to look up.

To the front, there were millions of the Blaze Realm’s disciples. Their strengths were all over the place, and all of them were standing in or near the massive battleships unique to the Blaze Realm. However, there were less than ten people moving about in open space.

Madam Lan spoke in a voice that betrayed her foul mood. "After so many years, the Outerverse dares to attack my Blaze Realm! What a joke."

Elder Tan shrank down even lower, and he did not dare to speak.

Inside the battleships, the millions of the Blaze Realm’s disciples remained silent with grief and indignation written on all their faces. They also harbored anger and murderous intent from being provoked by mere ants. It was indeed a joke that the Outerverse had dared to attack the Blaze Realm. It was absolutely insulting.

They were nothing but the Outerverse, and they were just ants.

Even if they managed to repel the Great Eastern Alliance’s attack at this time, the Blaze Realm would still be ridiculed by the rest of the Innerverse.

"What of the grand elder?" Madam Lan asked.

Elder Tan replied in a quiet and terrified voice, "He’s dead. First, the Sixth Mainland attacked, and the grand elder sacrificed himself then." After speaking, he briefly explained how the Sixth Mainland had invaded the Innerverse.

Madam Lan was surprised at the news. "So, when the Sixth Mainland attacked, my Blaze Realm sacrificed a grand elder and two Enlighters?"

"As well as hundreds of thousands of disciples," said Elder Tan.

Madam Lan's eyes were sharp. "What of Monster Chi and Si Penghai? How did they die?"

Elder Tan swallowed and glanced at Madam Lan's stark white bare feet. He quickly averted his eyes to avoid being discovered. "Monster Chi and Elder Si were frozen to death by people from the Royal Frost Continent."

Madam Lan laughed. "When the Blaze Realm was glorious at its peak, we had two Envoys, six Enlighters, and dozens of Hunters as well as the powerful Heavenflame Army. But now, almost all of them have fallen. What a terrible change of circumstances. That idiot, Leader Hong, has lost our ancestors’ legacy. All is already lost."

Elder Tan did not dare to respond or even breathe.

Madam Lan stared off into the distance. "The Great Eastern Alliance is an alliance created by a mere child, but it was actually able to force me into activating the Blaze Realm’s defenses. Do you have any idea how much it costs to activate such a large formation?"

Elder Tan bitterly replied, "Madam, the Great Eastern Alliance is not simple. The Realm Master once said that Lu Yin was the mastermind behind the matter with the Royal Frost Continent, the leader of the Great Eastern Alliance. He caused us to suffer heavy losses from that incident, and he even stopped the Purge. This child forced one of the Hall of Honor’s overseers to retreat, and he has incredible people supporting him."

Madam Lan shouted back, "So what? Are there any Envoys among the attackers right now?"

"No, no."

"If that’s the case, then I’ll activate the formation and go out to confront this so-called ‘Great Eastern Alliance’ for a bit," Madam Lan coldly stated.

Elder Tan quickly acknowledged her orders.

Suddenly, off in the distance, the massive flame whip suddenly shrank, and the flames defending the Blaze Realm instantly weakened.

Madam Lan's expression changed; something had just happened to the formation, and upon realizing this, she moved out and raced out of the Blaze Realm.

A roar exploded from within the flaming formation. Each roar shattered the void, causing it to twist and shatter. This was the strength of an Enlighter.

Lilyrose retreated some distance away and stared back in awe. She had not expected that thing to be so powerful. It had clearly just been a piece of paper, but it had actually unleashed a power level equal to an Enlighter, killing all of the Blaze Realm’s cultivators who had been operating the formation.

She had only used five pieces of paper, but that meant that it was at the same level as five full powered attacks from an Enlighter. How could the Blaze Realm cultivators stop such an attack?

It was no wonder why Wei Rong had looked so cautious when handing the pieces of paper over to her.

Lilyrose gritted her teeth and continued on into the Blaze Realm.

Right after Lilyrose left, Madam Lan appeared and waved a hand to disperse the aftermath of the explosions. The flame whip gradually disappeared, and the Blaze Realm’s defensive formation proved uncooperative as it continuously grew weaker.

Madam Lan frowned. Not just any cultivator could operate a formation like this, as the formation required months and years of training and cooperation. There were no replacements who could operate the formation in a short amount of time.

Still, it did not matter, as she was about to stop the formation.

In the distance, countless attacks came from warships.

Madam Lan snorted coldly and raised her hands up high. Then, a hot light illuminated the entire nearby region of space as it took on the form of a ball of fire that radiated a scorching heat that continued to grow hotter and hotter. This battle technique was known as Blazing Sun, which was once been used by Asharom, who had once held a place on the Blaze Rankings.

Madam Lan’s power level of about 400,000 was all pushed into the fireball, which was then flung towards the Great Eastern Alliance’s Allied Forces. She wanted to burn their entire army to cinders until nothing remained.

The appearance of the Blazing Sun caused Wei Rong's face to turn pale. He realized that there were still amazing powerhouses in the Blaze Realm and that it truly deserved its place as one of the Innerverse’s major powers.

The Blaze Realm only represented a third of Blazing Mist Flowzone’s strength, and the flowzone was actually the weakest out of all the eight great flowzones. Wei Rong could not even imagine how strong the Sword Sect and the Daynight clan had to be.

Fortunately, Leon’s Armada had moved to stop the Daynight clan from moving out when Lu Yin had made his move against Daynight Flowzone. Otherwise, any one of the clan’s powerhouses would have been able to easily wipe out the entire Great Eastern Alliance.

"That's Blazing Sun, one of the Blaze Realm’s inherited battle techniques. If possible, we should keep all of their battle techniques intact." A voice spoke up from behind Wei Rong.

Hearing this voice, Wei Rong grew respectful and turned around. "Your Highness, you’re here."

Lu Yin was the one who had spoken up as he was naturally the only one qualified to command the attack against the Blaze Realm.

Lu Yin would not underestimate the Blaze Realm. After all, it was an established power of the Innerverse. If the Blaze Realm was still at its peak, then Lu Yin would not dare to make a move against them even after gathering the full strength of the entire Outerverse. However, he had seen an opportunity, and even if it was a small chance of success, he would still make a move.

In the end, if things did not work out, then there was still Leon’s Armada, which was powerful enough to even stand up to the Daynight clan. If not for Lu Yin being worried about owing too great a debt to Leon’s Armada and the fact that pirates had a rather bad reputation, then Lu Yin would have definitely asked for their help.

Leon’s Armada was made up of seven regiments, and any one of them would be enough to deal with the Blaze Realm on their own.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with that Blazing Sun?" Wei Rong asked.

In the distance, space was being warped by the massive fireball that was drawing closer to the Allied Forces, and the people within the battleships were growing terrified.

Lu Yin smiled gently. "We can't deal with the Blaze Realm with just our own strength, so it's time for some others to take action."

As he spoke, the starry sky grew white. This whiteness was caused by a layer of ice that had appeared in space, and it continued to spread out as an overpowering cold wind blew through the area. The cold energy then formed into five interlocking rings of snowflakes that swept towards Madam Lan.

Madam Lan was stunned—the Royal Frost Continent?

…

Right when the Great Eastern Alliance attacked the Blaze Realm, there had also been a discussion occurring within the Hall of Honor. Naturally, the topic was about the Great Eastern Alliance's attack on the Blaze Realm.

"With the Sixth Mainland about to occupy the Outerverse, the Blaze Realm will become the gateway that defends the Innerverse. It can suffer no losses. The Great Eastern Alliance must be stopped."

"Yes. If the Blaze Realm is defeated, then the balance of Blazing Mist Flowzone will be destroyed, and more importantly, Lu Yin's desire to expand is too strong. He must be suppressed."

"We cannot be too lax with this child."

…

However, these words were only the opinions of a few people, as most of those present supported Lu Yin's attack on the Blaze Realm. This was not because of any particular opinion concerning the Blaze Realm, but rather because these people did not dare to offend Lu Yin.

Who stood behind Lu Yin? Yuan Shi. Although he kept to himself at almost all times and did not abuse his influence over his old disciples, his mere existence served as a powerful deterrent. Almost none of these people present were qualified to criticize those who Yuan Shi valued.

Who else was behind Lu Yin? Eversky Island, which was a bunch of lunatics who would do anything.

What else? Lu Yin was a part of the Lockbreaker Society and had become a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker, which gave him an exceptional status within the society. Although the Blaze Realm also had their own Advanced Lockbreakers, their status could not compare to Lu Yin’s within the Society.
