"Demon Race corpse," Xu Zimei murmured as he looked at the body.
Thereupon, Huangfu Xianyue took out a small box, inside which a pale white flame was burning fiercely.
"This is Bone-Burning Flame, one of the flames mastered by the Divine Race, specially designed to counter Demon Bodies," Huangfu Xianyue explained.
No sooner had she opened the box than the flame poured onto the skeleton like molten lava, viscous in nature.
Upon contact with the skeleton, it ignited like fuel, causing the flames to burn even more ferociously.
Crackling sounds emanated from within.
This was a lengthy process; the fire burned for a good half a quarter of an hour before it finally consumed the skeleton completely.
What remained of the skeleton was nothing but a puddle of black liquid.
Thick and foul-smelling.
Then, Huangfu Xianyue took out a small barrel of spring water, merely smelling which gave off a refreshing and invigorating sensation, suggesting it was no ordinary substance.
She poured the spring water over the liquid, hissing sounds accompanied by white smoke began rising from it.
The liquid then started to congeal slightly and was no longer as hot.
"You seem to be well-prepared with these things," Xu Zimei commented with a smile.
"We’ve experimented before, but unfortunately it’s hard to come across remnants of the Demon Race these days," Huangfu Xianyue responded.
"Take off your clothes and I’ll apply it for you."
"All of it?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"No need, just the top will do," Huangfu Xianyue quickly shook her head.
After Xu Zimei removed his shirt, Huangfu Xianyue began to evenly spread the semi-solidified liquid onto Xu Zimei’s body, starting from his back.
"This method of remodeling the body and bones is a bit painful. Bear with it," Huangfu Xianyue warned him.
Xu Zimei nodded slightly. All he felt was a warm force like a refreshing spring flowing into his body, trying to alter it.
But his Demon Body was incredibly strong, and this minor force, upon entering, did not even stir a ripple before being completely absorbed.
After the liquid had been absorbed, Huangfu Xianyue gently touched Xu Zimei’s back and said with satisfaction, "Your body is one of the best I’ve ever seen."
Xu Zimei put his clothes back on and asked, "What about the third stage?"
"Don’t rush, I’ll come and tell you tomorrow," Huangfu Xianyue smiled, eventually leaving contentedly.
Early the next morning, while the sky was still dawning and night had not yet fully retreated,
a dragon’s roar could once again be heard coming from afar.
A crimson dragon traversed winds and waves, its colossal body passing through the Endless Void, roaring above the Realm Emperor Holy Sect.
"Six Divine Realms," a furious shout rose from beneath the Realm Emperor Holy Sect.
The crowd was already prepared. Six figures emerged from the void.
They were the six kings of the Realm Emperor Holy Sect.
Surging around these six individuals was the peak might of the Melting Heaven Realm, as six different types of Spiritual Energy burst forth from their palms.
The Six Divine Realms enveloped the crimson dragon like a giant net.
It resembled a six-pointed star Formation, and as energy flowed into it incessantly, the realm defense became increasingly firm.
"We’ve been waiting for you for a long time," Zhang Tianlin said indifferently from the side.
"This Holy Sect is not a place where you can come and go as you please."
The crimson dragon kept slamming against the realm defense, with thunderous "boom boom boom" sounds emanating from the impact.
Cracks with "crack, crack" sounds started to appear within the Six Divine Realms.
"Cracks are appearing so soon," the Realm King exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Tianlin shouted to the person beside him, "Sect Master, prepare quickly, we can’t hold on much longer."
Zhang Tianlin nodded, his expression grave as he took the iron casket off his back.
This iron casket seemed ancient with the surface rusted and speckled, appearing just like an ordinary box.
When Zhang Tianlin slowly opened the casket, a beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing the still-dark night.
It tore through the thickly accumulated dark clouds, and the light of dawn descended.
A small, cube-shaped domain, reminiscent of a Rubik’s cube, slowly rose.
"Glazed Glass Divine Realm," Zhang Tianlin murmured.
He then saw him clutching the domain with a devout and solemn gaze.
All the spiritual energy in his body surged into this domain, which emitted a soft glow.
Zhang Tianlin slowly released the domain, and the Glazed Glass Divine Realm rose little by little into the sky.
As it ascended, its area grew larger and larger, almost covering half the firmament.
"Glazed Glass Divine Realm, seal," Zhang Tianlin formed hand seals and bellowed.
With a "boom," as the Six Divine Realms were breached by the crimson-hued giant dragon, the Glazed Glass Divine Realm instantly enveloped it.
The Glazed Glass Divine Realm radiated a brilliant light, but the glow was gentle and not blinding.
The crimson dragon’s pupils surveyed briefly, yet no matter how fiercely it collided and thunder and fire raged, the Glazed Glass Divine Realm stood solid as a rock, unyielding.
It was then that the people of the Realm Emperor Holy Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Zhang Tianlin said, "Fortunately, our ancestor left behind this Glazed Glass Divine Realm, or we wouldn’t have known what to do."
"But what about this giant dragon? We can surround it but still can’t kill it," the Crimson King said, frowning.
"The giant dragon’s motive for attacking our Realm Emperor Holy Sect is still unclear, and it’s currently in a state of rage, unable to be reasoned with," Zhang Tianlin thought for a moment.
He said, "Let’s wait some time and then inquire about its reasons.
As for freedom, I don’t believe it won’t submit."
Everyone nodded, getting ready to discuss the next strategy.
Atop Divine Maiden Peak, Xu Zimei looked at the Crimson Dragon trapped within the domain from afar, shaking his head slightly.
"This Realm Emperor Holy Sect does have some tricks up their sleeve, no wonder back in the day few dared to offend the Realm Emperor."
He extended his right hand, and the passage to the Divine Continent opened.
A giant dragon with a body of ice-blue emerged from it.
"Let them play for a bit," Xu Zimei said indifferently.
Above the Realm Emperor Holy Sect, as everyone had just trapped the Crimson Dragon and was discussing, a dragon’s roar suddenly came from not far away.
The sound of "rumbling" explosions kept echoing.
Call after call of the dragon’s roar sounded, growing louder and loftier.
The roars echoed in the distance, shaking the mists of the firmament apart.
Everyone looked up towards the east, where the dim glow of dawn cast a weak halo.
Beneath the glow of dawn, an ice-blue dragon, seemingly bathed in snow and as ethereal as a dream, rushed towards them from afar.
"That, that is," everyone stood frozen in place, their pupils suddenly dilating.
A torrent-like frozen river poured forth from its mouth with a "crackling" sound continually resounding.
The entire sky was filled with falling snowflakes, drifting one after another.
"Get out of the way," Zhang Tianlin shouted quickly, seeing the frozen river approaching.
