The outside world.
One King Envoy after another flew backward out of the radiance-filled space, many of them still wearing traces of panic on their faces.
Fang Qingxiao, Yu Wenwuji and the others could tell at a glance that sothing was wrong.
Before long, accompanied by a shrill hiss of white vapor, Ling Xiao shot over like a bolt and appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
"Imperial Envoy Ling?"
Everyone was greatly astonished—Ling Xiao had actually already undone the Four Saints Shackles!
"The situation ahead has changed."
Ling Xiao spoke in a low voice as his long, strong fingers swiftly tapped the mark on his chest. The blue and white Holy Beast phantoms separated from it, releasing the shackle state.
Ling Xiao’s figure swayed slightly; he gritted his teeth and let out a low groan.
Luckily this ti he had only opened the second lock, and for a very short ti—it was far less strenuous than when he had previously tried to blast apart the Realm mbrane.
Beside him, Xie Jinlan of Azure Dragon Imperial cupped his hands slightly and spoke on Ling Xiao’s behalf: "Everyone, what we encountered was not a space that restricts Star Power, but another Boundary Heaven where Red Water rampages.
That Red Water is incomparably bizarre—once touched it can easily dissolve flesh and blood. Even King Envoy Xu of Xuanwu Imperial was rely subrged by that Red Water, and in just a few breaths he was reduced to nothing but stark white bones!"
Hearing this, everyone looked again at the few King Envoys who had just co out with parts of their bodies dissolved by Red Water, and could not help showing shock.
You must know, among them were no lack of Mid-level King Envoys proficient in the flesh and in Cultivation of Enhancent Body Techniques, yet they still could not block that so-called Red Water?
Moreover, at this mont, even the Healing Technique unleashed by Liu Yucheng found it hard to Repair the missing flesh for the mont, as if a kind of viscous Power of Filth clung to their wounds and could not be dispelled.
Dan Taing frowned and said: "So it seems, the space ahead is not just a single one, and each has its own different Secret Realm Rules? This is simply, simply like..."
"Like an array barrier." Fang Qingxiao picked up Dan Taing’s words, his expression slightly solemn. "And at least at the Eighth Level of Array!"
Everyone nodded with grave expressions.
Whether it was the Star Power–limiting space that Fang Qingxiao and Yu Wenwuji had encountered, or the Red Water–rampaging space that Ling Xiao had encountered, both could greatly affect those at King Level.
Ever since the onset of the Beast Tribulation, the reason the various powers of Blue Sea Star had at first been able to block the Impact from the Grey Realm was in no small part due to the array barrier.
The Grey Realm side was not adept in the Four Arts. Aside from the Four Saints Chaos Array set up via the Four Source Holy Beads, they had suffered quite a few losses in the face of the Blue Sea humans’ powerful Array Path.
But this ti, as if having learned from their previous setbacks, the Grey Realm had actually shaped the Chaotic Star Domain by using Secret Realm Rules to create powerful effects akin to Arrays!
Fang Qingxiao pondered aloud: "If there were only these two strange spaces, it wouldn’t be that we have no way to deal with them. The problem now is that these Secret Realm Spaces can still transmute and change, and... just how many such spaces there are..."
"Nine!"
Just then, a clear voice ca from afar.
The Great Fla group turned to look, only to see a Yixian Dao Cultivator appear, wearing a Star Dao Robe; Sect Leader Zhan Tianyi led the team over and said to the people of Great Fla: "Strictly speaking, it’s 8 1."
"Master Zhan?" The eyes of the Great Fla crowd all lit up.
Zhan Tianyi cupped his hands slightly: "Fellow Daoists of Great Fla, well t!"
After the two sides briefly exchanged greetings, Fang Qingxiao asked, "Master Zhan, you just said there are a total of nine spaces. It seems... you’ve already seen through the layout of this Chaotic Star Domain?"
Zhan Tianyi smiled and shook his head: "Imperial Throne Fang overpraises . ’Seen through’ would be too much, but... I’ve at least figured out a bit of the thod behind it."
Seeing the Great Fla crowd focusing their attention, Zhan Tianyi did not act mysterious and imdiately told everyone what he had Derived.
"This Chaotic Star Domain absorbed a vast number of Secret Realm Fragnts and was reshaped by a Divine Artifact, ultimately splitting into nine different Boundary Heavens.
The reason I say 8 1 is because eight are outside and one is inside. That Inner Realm is exactly where the Grey Realm Divine Artifact is located.
The eight outer realms, rooted in the Grey Realm Divine Artifact, using the Eight Divine Generals as diums and Secret Realm Energy as nourishnt... possess a powerful effect no weaker than an Eighth-level Array.
Moreover, the Eight Divine Generals can, through the Divine Artifact of the Inner Realm, transmute the eight outer Boundary Heavens at will.
If we wish to enter the Inner Realm Core and shatter the Chaotic Star Domain, we also need to break through these eight outer realms."
"Eight outer realms...!"
Hearing this at first, the Great Fla group all wore heavy expressions.
Within these Boundary Heavens, there were not only Secret Realm Rules comparable to an Eighth-level Array, but also many elite Demon Kings of the Grey Realm stationed there.
Just the Desolate Star Realm and Red Water Realm they had just encountered had already caused the Sky Patrol Departnt to suffer blows in succession, forcing them to withdraw first.
If there were a total of eight outer realms... breaking all of them would likely incur unimaginable casualties!
What’s more, this was only the outer eight realms. Beyond those eight was where the Core of the Chaotic Star Domain and the true final battleground lay.
If they exhausted themselves and took too many losses beforehand, how would they wage the decisive battle then?
As if sensing everyone’s concern, Zhan Tianyi instead smiled and said: "There’s no need for everyone to worry. Although the Grey Realm shaped these Chaotic Star Nine Realms, making them seem extrely hard to handle, this has actually revealed a few flaws!"
Ling Xiao’s eyes moved slightly. "Fellow Daoist Zhan, please speak."
Zhan Tianyi began slowly: "First, in order to draw out the greatest possible function of the Chaotic Star Domain, the Grey Realm created eight outer realms. But their manpower from the Grey Realm was thus scattered as well.
Although the eight outer realms can constantly change in succession and respond flexibly to the enemy, because they are all jointly rooted in the Inner Realm, the Demon Beasts in each Boundary Heaven find it hard to move between them. This disperses their manpower—that is the first flaw!"
"Second, the eight outer realms must use the Eight Divine Generals in their Divine Beast bodies as diums. When we break realms, we won’t encounter the Divine Generals obstructing us—that is the second flaw!"
