Past Events of the Flame Star

It is a pity that the Yan God Clan has infinite combat flowing deep within their genes; they would rather die in battle than retreat a single step.

"Burning Shadow Shifting Void!" Qin Cang unleashed his strongest strike.

Endless spear shadows sliced through space layer by layer, simultaneously partitioning the boundless blood river. At the same time, the spatial refraction transformed once more into spear shadows, thrusting toward the endless blood river.

Spear after spear, the blood river was continuously annihilated, and the expression on the face of Blood Blade King grew increasingly solemn.

"Hahaha, little junior brother, your secret technique is truly interesting. It is a clever combination of the path of space and the path of fire. I imagine that once you break through to the Immortal level, our Human Race will gain yet another formidable King-level powerhouse."

Having said that, Blood Blade King took the initiative to stop the sparring. The space shifted once more, and the two arrived by a lake, where they set out fine wine.

"Only after sparring today did I realize that your strength has improved to such a degree, junior brother. It seems you will soon be able to stand at the same level as me."

Blood Blade King was truly shocked in his heart. His little junior brother had actually embarked on the path of fusing laws. Although it appeared to be only just the beginning, it was undoubtedly a secret technique of the pure Fire-Space Laws fusion path. While he might have been able to achieve a final victory in this bout by relying on his more perfected comprehension of the Space Laws, it would have been meaningless. It would not be long before his junior brother reached or even surpassed him.

One could tell from the attitude of Demon Wing Venerable toward his disciples; even though he had stayed in Chaos City for so long, he had never heard of any World Lord level being summoned by the Chaos City Lord. Yet, his little junior brother had achieved it. Blood Blade King was well aware that someone of his own aptitude did not even have the qualifications to meet the Chaos City Lord.

And since Qin Cang could be received personally by the Chaos City Lord, did that not mean he had the potential of a Universe Venerable? Or perhaps he was destined to become a Universe Venerable?

Blood Blade King knew all too well the difficulty of comprehending the complete Space Laws. He had forgotten how long he had stayed in Chaos City, all for that sliver of possibility to break through to a Universe Venerable. Perhaps it would happen in the next moment, or perhaps he would never make progress; both were possible. After hundreds of millions of years, his strength had not improved in the slightest. This feeling...

Blood Blade King looked at Qin Cang across from him with a gentle gaze.

Qin Cang also noticed his senior brother's gaze. "Senior brother, please!"

Immediately, he raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.

This feeling of high spirits—"It's so similar," Blood Blade King murmured, as if he saw the shadow of his own youth in Qin Cang.

Just as the two were drinking, Qin Cang received an email. After reading its contents, he smiled slightly, shook his head, and sent a reply.

One of the 908 high-level Universe Kingdoms of the Human Race, the Nine Yan Universe Kingdom, was also the Universe Kingdom where Qin Cang was born.

The Nine Yan Universe Kingdom governed over 1,400 medium-level Universe Kingdoms and nearly 20,000 star sectors.

Yanxing Universe Kingdom was the medium-level Universe Kingdom where Qin Cang was born.

The Yanxing Universe Kingdom was a medium-level Universe Kingdom established by Marquis Yanxing, a Marquis of the Yan God Clan, and the royal family within it was the Yan God Clan.

This situation was very common in the universe. Some Immortal Military Lords or ordinary Marquises from powerful families or races would head to the Outer-Region Battlefield to adventure, while others would choose to establish a medium-level Universe Kingdom and become a local emperor.

These Kingdom Lords would still maintain contact with their families or clans, but such instances were extremely rare. Nominally, they still belonged to the family's jurisdiction and had to follow the family's arrangements regarding certain major events.

Even though the Yan God Clan had not yet produced a Venerable, they had already birthed several King-level existences, and there were countless Marquis-level powerhouses and ordinary Immortals already scattered throughout the universe. To Qin Cang's knowledge, there were several others like Marquis Yanxing. And this was just within the Yan God Clan; if one looked at the entire branch of the human race, how many would there be?

The Yanxing Universe Kingdom governed over 7,000 star systems. Originally, it had one Marquis-level Immortal, Marquis Yanxing, and two Immortal Military Lords, which was already extremely powerful for a medium-level Universe Kingdom.

However, what Marquis Yanxing did not expect was that a terrifying genius would be born within the royal family. After coming into contact with cultivation, at the Planetary level, he comprehended the Fire Domain in just three years, and then reached the ninth level of the domain in less than thirty years.

From that moment on, the sole task of the entire Yanxing Universe Kingdom was to cultivate Qin Cang. Even Qin Cang's parents benefited from this, and even the Kingdom Lord had to greet them with caution.

Qin Cang did not disappoint the expectations of the Universe Kingdom; he successfully took first place in the genius competition. Furthermore, the entire royal family benefited from this afterward, and the resources he brought back allowed the original two Immortal Military Lords to successfully promote to Marquises.

As for Qin Cang's parents, Qin Lie and Qin Xiao, both obtained the opportunity to enter the Initial Universe to cultivate. After emerging from the Initial Universe, both were promoted to Immortals!

From then on, the strength of the Yanxing Universe Kingdom completely pulled away from the surrounding medium-level Universe Kingdoms.

Of course, after becoming powerful, it was inevitable to become arrogant. When Qin Cang was at the Domain Lord level, his highest mission points came from judging the scum within the royal family. That time, the total number of people who died or were imprisoned exceeded ten thousand!

It was precisely then that everyone understood that, apart from Qin Cang's parents and Marquis Yanxing, Qin Cang did not care in the slightest about the lives of others.

Even Marquis Yanxing was shocked by Qin Cang's methods, and the expansion plan that had originally been set was shelved from then on.

Although the plan was shelved, it was not that it would never be implemented. Just a few days ago, Marquis Yanxing finally made up his mind to take action against a neighboring medium-level Universe Kingdom.

But before taking action, he still had to ask for Qin Cang's opinion.

Qin Cang also knew that this battle would have to be fought sooner or later. The reason was simple: Marquis Yanxing's wife had died at the hands of the Lord of the Profound Stone Universe Kingdom.

Rounding it up, it was equivalent to his ancestor being killed, and now that he had the strength to take revenge, should this grudge be settled?

Qin Cang knew in his heart that Marquis Yanxing would go to kill the Lord of the Profound Stone Universe Kingdom no matter what; it was only a matter of time.

However, if he followed his own plan, once he broke through to the Immortal level, the Lord of the Profound Stone Universe Kingdom would be nothing more than a ghost under his spear.

Unfortunately, Marquis Yanxing seemed obsessed with killing the Lord of Xuanshi himself. Ever since Qin Cang's mission as a Domain Lord ended, he would ask Qin Cang every so often if he could go and kill the Lord of Xuanshi.

The current Yanxing Universe Kingdom had two more Marquises and two more Immortals, so there was no need to worry about follow-up combat power.

Unfortunately, Qin Cang had never agreed, until just now, when he finally could not delay it any longer and gave his consent. After all, Marquis Yanxing had even obtained the coordinates of the Lord of Xuanshi; he only needed to go over and kill him.

Ever since Qin Cang was sent to the Nine Yan Universe Kingdom to serve as an Inspector, the Lord of Xuanshi had been cunningly hiding in his God Kingdom, making it impossible to kill him even if one wanted to. But in the information just received, Marquis Yanxing had actually discovered that the Lord of Xuanshi was currently in a certain secret realm—the perfect time to kill him.

Yanxing Universe Kingdom.

Inside a divine palace, three terrifying figures stood, waiting nervously.

"Ancestor, how is it?" asked a figure wearing golden battle armor, who was none other than Marquis Yanming.

"Hahaha, Cang'er has agreed, but he told us to be careful," replied Marquis Yanxing, who was also wearing golden battle armor.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over and kill that Marquis Xuanshi to avenge you," urged Marquis Yanguang, who had the most explosive temper.

"That's right, we must seize the opportunity. It was not easy to lure that old scoundrel out; we cannot let him go just like that."

Immediately, Marquis Yanxing activated the God Kingdom teleportation, and the three figures vanished.
