Chapter 732: Alliance, Activated!
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
In a towering hall in Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.
Seated in the hall was a white-robed elder who waited leisurely.
Suddenly, three wills descended into the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, forming three embodiments. They were King of Myriad Fiends Boxun, God King Zhurong, and a cold-looking purple-robed man.
“Haha, this must be Torch Dragon. The last time we met was when the demons’ Heavenly Courts ruled the Three Realms,” Patriarch Blood Sea laughed and said. “In a blink of an eye, the Three Realms has changed drastically, and the Heavenly Dao realm existences have all been forced to leave the Three Realms.”
“I never expected you, Blood Sea, to become the owner of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss after Black Lotus left the Three Realms,” said the purple-robed man. He was none other than Torch Dragon.
“Boxun, you are the King of Myriad Fiends; yet, you failed to beat Blood Sea and take control of the fiends?” Zhurong quipped with a smile.
Boxun smiled lightly in a very sloppy manner. “Blood Sea is obedient to Black Lotus and has fought the Three Realms for him... As for me, I have been focused on cultivation. I couldn’t be bothered with Black Lotus, so it’s only normal that he handed the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss to Blood Sea.”
“I was also just a little luckier,” said Patriarch Blood Sea humbly.
“It benefits us fiends with it being Blood Sea,” added Boxun. “Blood Sea has an undying body, and with the augmentation of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, his strength would be raised to the half-step Heavenly Dao realm! A person with many avatars and a half-step Heavenly Dao realm undying body... is very beneficial to us fiends. I do have the Six Desires avatars, but in terms of undying means, I’m far inferior to Blood Sea. Even Qin Yun, who has 129,600 avatars... is slightly weaker than Blood Sea when it comes to undying means.”
“Death is impossible unless the blood sea is destroyed.” Zhurong nodded in agreement and said, “Blood Sea came from deep within the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss to begin with. Even a Heavenly Dao realm expert would not dare storm it. So, who can threaten Brother Blood Sea?”
Patriarch Blood Sea smiled.
In the past, his undying bodies allowed him to be unparalleled in the Three Realms. Even when sent out, he would condense an avatar. His strength was one of the weakest ones among the perfected Great Dao existences.
But now, with the entire Tenebrous Fiend Abyss augmenting him, he had reached the half-step Heavenly Dao realm in one swift move, becoming one of the top few existences in the Three Realms. He was naturally feeling greatly spirited.
“We came here to discuss how we will control the Three Realms!” Torch Dragon said.
“Yes, yes. Let’s get down to business,” said Blood Sea with a smile. “As long as the four of us combine forces, there will be hope for us taking the Three Realms.”
Torch Dragon said, “Before coming, Zhurong has already informed me! You fiends only need to occupy the original ten dominions. As for the remaining fifty dominions and the Heavenly realm, don’t involve yourself in them.”
“We wouldn’t involve ourselves. As long as we can preserve the fiends’ ten dominions, we would be satisfied,” said Blood Sea with a faint smile.
“Unfortunately, the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts are too greedy. They even wish to snatch the final ten dominions of us fiends,” said Boxun with a frown. “In the Three Realms, I’m secretly controlling many mighty figure puppets. Qin Yun, Yang Jian, Maitreya have begun discussions. They plan to lead mighty figures on an attack of our fiendish dominions at any time.
Zhurong laughed and said, “Ordinary mighty figures are nothing worth mentioning. In this struggle for the Three Realms, it is mainly determined by the perfected Great Dao existences. Especially the few half-step Heavenly Dao existences. Now, the already known half-step Heavenly Dao existences in the Three Realms, including those that have kept low profiles to cultivate... number seven. They are the four of us, and Qin Yun, Hou Yi, and Ancestral Dragon.”
“Seven which are known,” said Torch Dragon. “But who knows if other perfected Great Dao existences have broken through as well. I heard that the humans’ Three Sovereigns are each extraordinary. Kong Xuan and Houtu have accumulated extremely deep insights as well.”
“They don’t pose a huge threat at all,” said Zhurong with a shake of his head. “If the four of us ally... across the Three Realms, the only person who can be a threat to us is Hou Yi!”
“Hou Yi?”
Patriarch Blood Sea, Boxun, and Torch Dragon turned solemn.
The might of Hou Yi when he burned his Essence Soul to deliver nine consecutive arrows was a terrifying thought.
Not only was it strong, it was also unavoidable!
In an ordinary skirmish, when one side attacked, the other side could defend, but when Hou Yi infused Heart Force into his arrows... it was impossible to dodge. One could only defend using their bodies! For instance, Bohan Island Lord could only use his body to withstand the blow when Hou Yi delivered his Essence Soul-burning eighth and ninth arrows. Weapons could not touch the arrows, and if weapons could be used for the defense, he wouldn’t have died under Hou Yi’s hands.
“You can leave Hou Yi to me,” said Patriarch Blood Sea. “I have already secretly sent avatars to infiltrate the Effulgent Great World. I can descend the forces of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss onto the Effulgent Great World at any moment... Hou Yi might be powerful, but his melee abilities are weak. I have an undying body, so I’ll be perfect against him.”
“You have to be careful. Ensure that he doesn’t join forces with Qin Yun. Once they do so, it will be trouble,” said Boxun.
“Hou Yi is in seclusion and hasn’t left the Effulgent Great World all this while,” said Patriarch Blood Sea. “He might not even join in the Daoists’ and Buddhists’ assault of the ten fiendish dominions. He hasn’t shown interest in involving himself in the conflict of the Three Realms.”
“Alright.”
Torch Dragon nodded. “As long as he doesn’t involve himself, the four of us have a chance of killing Qin Yun together. We shall snatch his Misty Rain Sword! Even if Qin Yun has 129,600 avatars... without his Misty Rain Sword, he is nothing but trash.”
“Let’s aim for a breakthrough.” Boxun nodded. “Let’s finish Qin Yun first. Hou Yi would then... be easily finished.”
“Without these two stumbling blocks, the Three Realms shall be ours,” said Zhurong. He was the most eager person present. After all, he had once suffered from Hou Yi’s sneak attack. Back then, Hou Yi had burned his Essence Soul to deliver two arrows, scaring Zhurong away. After which, he even kept a very low profile in the Three Realms.
This time, with Zhurong making the connections, the four formed an easy alliance.

Heavenly realm, Mt. Lightning Roar.
Qin Yun sat across from the black-robed Ancestral Dragon.
“The change in the Three Realms has forced the Heavenly Dao realm existences to leave. The Fiend Ancestor can no longer protect the fiendish dominions,” said Qin Yun. “Yang Jian, Maitreya, and I have already discussed how to snatch the ten fiendish dominions back. Today, I’m inviting you here in the hopes that you can join us in this endeavor to snatch back the ten dominions, returning the Three Realms Heavenly Dao to every dominion in the Three Realms.”
“You are inviting me to help in this operation?” Ancestral Dragon felt some hesitation.
Hou Yi couldn’t be bothered to join in the skirmish for the Three Realms because of his character.
As for Ancestral Dragon, it was because of the dragons. Without absolute confidence, he did not wish to completely lose decorum with the fiends and invite disaster on the dragons.
“Don’t worry. When we take back the ten fiendish dominions, I can make the decision to leave one of the dominions to the dragons. How about that?” Qin Yun said. As sect master of Green Touring Palace, he naturally enjoyed extremely high prestige. The carving of the territory in the Three Realms was also naturally determined by the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts.
“A dominion?” Ancestral Dragon’s eyes lit up. At present, the dragons only occupied one dominion.
The Three Realms no longer had any Heavenly Dao realm existences.
With him at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm of the Physical Establishing Sage lineage, his influence in the Three Realms had risen significantly. Just occupying a single dominion was indeed considered inadequate.
After Ancestral Dragon thought of Qin Yun and Hou Yi, he immediately said with a smile, “Alright. The fiends have been cruel and evil. The countless lives in those ten dominions live as though they are in hell. To return the Three Realms Heavenly Dao to the ten dominions will be saving countless lives. Count me in on this.”
Qin Yun nodded.
As for the other mighty figures of the dragon race? He wasn’t too concerned.
Just having the Ancestral Dragon to help was sufficient! Ordinary mighty figures? The Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts had huge numbers of those.
“Then it’s agreed upon,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “We shall set off tomorrow to take back the fiendish dominions.”
“Alright, I’ll be deferring to you, Brother Qin Yun.” Ancestral Dragon smiled. Of course, he would let the Daoists and Buddhists charge in first. All he needed to do was provide help.
Soon.
Ancestral Dragon left and Qin Yun sat alone in thought.
He had wished to snatch back the ten fiendish dominions long ago. He wasn’t able to take action, but now, it was naturally time.
“There’s no problems with the plan.” Qin Yun thought over the plans repeatedly. It was a plan decided upon by the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts, and it was flawless.
“Unfortunately, ever since the Three Realms experienced the changes, Hou Yi has entered seclusive cultivation,” thought Qin Yun. “Without him exiting seclusion, it’s not my place to disturb him. However, our preparations are very adequate. We have a bunch of perfected Great Dao existences among the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts. Our strength has greatly increased... so we are definitely confident we can succeed.”
