Chapter 1222: Temptation

Chapter 1222: Temptation


Blazing Mist Flowzone was ma.s.sive. As one of the eight great flowzones, as well as the one closest to the Outerverse, a great deal of trade occurred within and around Blazing Mist Flowzone.


Outer s.p.a.ce was vast and boundless. Even if the flowzone’s population was large, it was difficult to find a s.p.a.cecraft when just looking around in s.p.a.ce. The possibility of two s.p.a.ceships crossing paths was very low, but the possibility was much higher when traveling through Blazing Mist Flowzone.


On one particular day, two vessels crossed paths, and they immediately began to fight each other.


The ship that had been attacked had come from the Blaze Realm.


Within Blazing Mist Flowzone, almost no one dared to attack the Blaze Realm’s vessels, but the attacking s.p.a.cecraft belonged to the Gasfire Alliance.


The battle ended quickly, and there was only one person still alive from the Blaze Realm vessel. He was lying on the deck, dismembered, as he stared at the dozens of cultivators from the Gasfire Alliance before him.


"You guys, just wait! The Blaze Realm won’t let you go!" roared the Blaze Realm cultivator lying on the deck. His expression was truly terrifying.


At this moment, one man with a cruel smile approached. "Do you remember me, Big Brother?"


The cultivator from the Blaze Realm looked at the man with a horrified expression. "Third brother? You- how are you still alive?"


The man let out a dark laugh as he looked down at the man from the Blaze Realm. "Why am I still alive? Are you surprised to see me? Yes, I survived. We promised that we would evenly divide the resources we received, but you shot and killed the other two siblings. Big Brother and Fourth Brother threw me into s.p.a.ce, but how could a Limiteer survive in s.p.a.ce? Luckily, I was rescued by the Gasfire Alliance."


The man from the Blaze Realm stared at his old comrade in a daze, and then he smiled miserably. "I see, no wonder. Were we attacked because of you?"


The man squatted down and stared at the Blaze Realm cultivator. "That’s right. I’ve been watching you for a day or two."


The Blaze Realm cultivator closed his eyes. "You can kill me, but never forget—you’re also from the Blaze Realm, so you understand its terror. These rats from the Gasfire Alliance won’t be able to hide, and even if they flee to the Outerverse, they’ll never survive."


The squatting man laughed wildly and then slapped the man from the Blaze Realm across the face, leaving a swollen, red palmprint behind. As he stared into the hate-filled eyes of the man from the Blaze Realm, the man from the Gasfire Alliance arrogantly declared, "It won"t be long before the Blaze Realm falls into chaos. Let me tell you something before I let you rest your eyes." He then paused for a moment before continuing in a lower voice, "Our Gasfire Alliance has found the entrance to the Royal Frost Continent, right next to Planet Coo. The master of Subzero City has already died, and the entire continent doesn’t even have an Enlighter anymore, so we’ll conquer the Royal Frost Continent quite soon."


The Blaze Realm cultivator"s eyes briefly went wide. "So what?"


The other man laughed. "So what? You may not know, but there"s a secret technique on the Royal Frost Continent."


The wounded man’s pupils instantly shrank. "What did you say?"


The other man revealed a cruel smile. "There’s a secret technique on the Royal Frost Continent, and the natives don"t even realize what it is. But the Gasfire Alliance realized what it was, and we’ll soon be able to obtain it. Tell me, how will your Blaze Realm fight against us after that?


"The Blaze Realm has too many enemies, and it has even become enemies with the Great Eastern Alliance that has unified the entire Outerverse. Soon, we’ll ally ourselves with the Great Eastern Alliance, and with that secret technique, it will be much too easy to destroy your Blaze Realm."


The Blaze Realm cultivator stared at the other man. "Is there really a secret technique on the Royal Frost Continent?"


"Of course. Those native don’t even realize what it is. They believe that it’s nothing more than a bunch of ancient records. So tell me, do you still think that the Blaze Realm will avenge you? I want you to die," the man stated arrogantly.


A strange expression appeared on the dismembered cultivator’s face, and excitement blazed in his eyes.


The other man frowned. "What’s with that face?"


The wounded cultivator suddenly laughed. Although he was suffering from terrible pain and was facing death, he still laughed, and the eerie sound gave everyone chills. "The Blaze Realm already knows about it!"


The other man"s expression changed greatly, and he instantly looked up and around the room. Finally, his eyes focused on a certain corner. He saw an activated gadget and fired a shot to destroy the gadget.


The Blaze Realm cultivator continued to laugh. "It"s too late! The Blaze Realm already knows! So it’s close to Planet Coo? And there’s even a secret technique? Third brother, you’re still so stupid! You may want to kill me, but your Gasfire Alliance is already doomed! It’s done for!"


The man became so enraged that he slapped the Blaze Realm cultivator and killed him.


The surrounding people from the Gasfire Alliance went silent, still staring in astonishment.


The man waved his hand and dismissed everyone.


After everyone left, he pulled up his gadget and reported, "Got it."


At the same time, within the Blaze Realm, this message was pa.s.sed up layer by layer until it finally reached Leader Hong"s ear.


Leader Hong thought that he must have heard wrong, and he stared at the middle-aged man standing in front of him in a respectful manner. This man"s name was Kun Ban, who was just an ordinary deacon elder in the Blaze Realm. However, he had just reported word of a secret technique to Leader Hong. This had to be a joke.


"I’ll give you one more chance. If you lie to me, you already know what will happen." Leader Hong said loudly, his voice accompanied by flames that filled the sky and lit up a vast region of s.p.a.ce.


Kun Ban trembled and respond in terror, "Yes! I will be rewarded. The Lord of the Royal Frost Continent has died, and the Gasfire Alliance has discovered a secret technique on the Royal Frost Continent." As he spoke, he replayed the conversation recording that had been sent to him.


Leader Hong listened to the recording. Regular logic told him that such a thing was impossible. Even if there was a secret technique, how could the people of the Royal Frost Continent not have recognized it?


The more he thought about it, the more impossible the entire story sounded. Still, this involved a secret technique, which was too important to simply dismiss. How many people in the entire Innerverse had learned a secret technique? Not even the Daynight clan possessed such a treasure. "Send someone to Planet Coo to check into this."


"Master, Elder Si has already sent someone, and we have someone stationed at Planet Coo as well," Kun Ban replied.


Soon, Kun Ban"s gadget rang. He glanced at it and was filled with joy. "Reporting to Leader Hong: some remnants of the Gasfire Alliance were discovered on Planet Coo, as well as traces of a cold air that has frozen over the nearby planets. It must have come from the entrance to the Royal Frost Continent."


Leader Hong"s eyes flashed. The Royal Frost Continent was a monster that had long remained hidden within the Blaze Realm, and it was no weaker than the Blaze Realm. They had an Envoy known as the Frost Emperor, and that powerhouse had rendered the three major powers of Blazing Mist Flowzone powerless, as he was too difficult to deal with.


Was there really a secret technique there? As he thought back to the various rumors that he had heard about the Royal Frost Continent, Leader Hong suddenly remembered that the previous master of the Blaze Realm had mentioned that the Royal Frost Continent seemed to be protecting something and that the continent had existed for an extremely long time.


According to the words of the previous Blaze Realm Master, the Royal Frost Continent might not contain a secret technique, but at the same time, the continent had always been sealed off to the outside universe. Thus, it would make sense for them to not recognize a secret technique.


The more Leader Hong thought about the situation, the more likely he felt that the report was true. He then made a bold decision. "Summon the Heavenflame Army and send them to Planet Coo." Even if there is no secret technique in the Royal Frost Continent, it was worth taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger that was the Royal Frost Continent. The Blaze Realm had long since wanted to destroy the continent.


"Yes, Realm Master." Kun Ban was overjoyed, as this entire development would be credited to his subordinates, which was the only reason why he had been allowed to make a direct report to the Realm Master. If this mission was successful, then Kun Ban’s status would rise dramatically, and his future would be unlimited.


Planet Coo was located within the Blaze Realm, and it lay at its southern edge, close to the sylvan dragon clan’s territory. Coincidentally, it was also not far from the Blaze Realm’s border with the Ross Empire, which meant that it was quite close to the intersection point of the three ruling organizations of Blazing Mist Flowzone.


Soon, the entrance to the Royal Frost Continent was revealed, and it was not on Planet Coo, but rather nearby.


Of course, this news was only revealed to the top members of the Blaze Realm, the Ross Empire, and the sylvan dragon clan. This also allowed Leader Hong to determine the authenticity of the report. It was impossible for anyone with a lower status to learn of the entrance to the Royal Frost Continent’s location.


Cold air spread out from cracks within the void, and Planet Coo along with the nearby region were soon all left frozen and white.


s.p.a.ce began to look like a frozen galaxy, and the cold spread far away.


Outside of this frozen galaxy, a vessel from the Blaze Realm appeared and locked down the surrounding area.


Leader Hong himself appeared outside the frozen region, and he stared at the cracks in the void with his hands clasped behind his back.


He was a cautious man. The entrance to the Royal Frost Continent had not been discovered despite the pa.s.sage of so many years. At this moment, no matter what the reason behind the Frost Emperor’s death might be, and even if Leader Hong was fully confident that he would be invincible upon entering the Royal Frost Continent, he would not rush into anything.


He thought for a moment before ordering, "Burn the continent."


The Blaze Realm’s forte was flames. At Leader Hong"s order, endless flames spread out, first thawing the frozen region of s.p.a.ce before quickly incinerating the nearby planets. Many of the planets began to collapse, including Planet Coo.


Fortunately, no one lived on any of these planets, as they were not suitable for human life.


The Blaze Realm’s forces were led by Leader Hong, and there was also a group of experts that included Monster Chi, various elders, and even Kun Ban. After Leader Hong gave his orders, Kun Ban was the first to rush out, followed by the rest. More than a dozen Hunters rushed forward, quickly followed by more than a hundred other people. Cruisers and thousands of Explorers all raced forward, unleashing all kinds of flame-based battle techniques as the heat spread into the cracks within the void.


On the Royal Frost Continent, the Frost Emperor saw the flames spread across the sky. He was immediately overjoyed, and he stepped back.


Soon, these flames rushed down and swept next to the Royal Frost Continent.


However, the moment the flames approached the Royal Frost Continent, they were frozen solid by the sheer cold, and frozen flames fell to the ground before simply disappearing.


The Frost Emperor commented, "These flames are just not enough to suppress this cold."


Lu Yin saw the same thing. "Don"t worry, Senior. The Blaze Realm has more that they can throw out."


The Frost Emperor replied, "I know, I’ve played with them before."


Lu Yin was surprised, as it seemed that this Frost Emperor had spent quite a long time away from the Royal Frost Continent in the past.


The flames froze in the starry sky above the continent as they entered the pocket dimension. When the Blaze Realm’s forces noticed this, they began to strengthen their flames. However, the moment these reinforced blazes entered the Royal Frost Continent, they were also frozen, to no surprise.


Leader Hong looked over at the elder beside him.


This elder was known as Si Penghai. He was an Enlighter from the Blaze Realm with a power level of 290,000. The entire Blaze Realm only had three Enlighters.


He walked out after Leader Hong’s look, and the flames around Si Penghai took the form of ma.s.sive strange birds that rushed towards the Royal Frost Continent. As they pa.s.sed by, not only did the void warp and burn, but the flames of Kun Ban and others were also disintegrated, as Si Penghai’s flames could burn other flames. This was a suppression by power.


Everyone watched on as a flaming monster raced into the Royal Frost Continent, but even that fearsome bird was frozen, and it disappeared after completely losing its power.


Si Penghai"s expression instantly changed. He gritted his teeth and strengthened his flames even further before taking out an exotic treasure that caused the flame monster to grow even larger. Then, it slammed into the Royal Frost Continent again, but it was frozen once more.


Leader Hong frowned and looked over at Monster Chi. "This is a problem."


Monster Chi was not Si Penghai. He held a unique status within the Blaze Realm as he was an elder with a powerful background, and his power level also exceeded 400,000. Even Leader Hong had to show respect to such a powerhouse.
