Chapter 709

The expansion speed of the Flame Lord's realm was not ordinary at all.

And now, the biggest problem arrived.

The fact that the Flame Lord dared seize the realm of a third-rank deity can only mean one thing:

The Flame Lord fears no third-rank deity!

From the Holy Spirit Dai Wei, Holy Spirit Kino learned that the Flame Lord could even attract a Holy Domain!

No second-rank deity could attract a Holy Domain!

Even a third-rank deity in the early stage of their rank would find it hard to attract a Holy Domain.

The reason powerful third-rank deities could attract Holy Domains was twofold: one, they could provide abundant guidance for Holy Domain cultivators; two, they might one day establish a divine lineage.

Holy Domains might themselves become deities, but newly formed deities were still weak; no deity would accept them into their lineage. But if they served a third-rank deity's empire for a time, after ascending to the Heavenly Realm, they could join that deity's lineage and gain relatively rapid growth.

Of course, not all Holy Domains wished to join a divine lineage.

In short, since the Flame Lord feared no third-rank deity and could attract Holy Domains, together this could only mean one thing:

That the Flame Lord was very likely a third-rank deity.

And possibly an extremely powerful third-rank deity!

Not a deity with an 11th-rank divine emblem, but one possessing a 12th or 13th-rank divine emblem!

The deity of Holy Spirit Kino — formerly the deity of the Hutton Kingdom — possessed only a 9th-rank divine emblem, a second-rank deity!

How could a second-rank deity dare challenge a third-rank deity?

Thinking of this, Kino's face darkened.

His heart grew heavy.

The enemy one had sought so desperately had suddenly become a hundred times stronger than one's own deity — who wouldn't be disheartened?

"Then it's perfect — we can join forces to find the Flame Lord's whereabouts. We've searched the Elven deities' realms for some time now and found not a trace. Have you any leads?"

Said Holy Spirit Dai Wei.

As he spoke, Holy Spirit Dai Wei noticed Holy Spirit Kino's expression.

"Afraid already? The Flame Lord isn't recorded in the Divine Genealogy — he's likely a hidden new deity, his strength uncertain. A coward who hides his face — what's there to fear? Just keep searching; when you find him, my deity will act."

Said Holy Spirit Dai Wei coolly.

"I don't know how you found your way to the Elven deities' realms, but according to my deity's revelation, the Flame Lord once aided some elves — this suggests the Flame Lord is likely involved with some Elven goddess. That's why we came here. We deliberately made such a commotion to lure them into sending spies to watch us. Once we capture one of their messengers, we'll have our lead."

Said Holy Spirit Dai Wei again.
