From the memories of the two, Flowing Cloud learned that Nihility Devouring Flame held an extremely high position within the Soul Clan. It could even be said that many elders were more loyal to Nihility Devouring Flame than to Hun Tiandi. The main reason was that it could seize the Dou Di bloodlines of other imperial clans for the Soul Clan's use, granting it a status within the Soul Clan no less than Hun Tiandi's.
Nihility Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, was born from the void. It had no form to seek and no shape to grasp, making it an exceedingly strange existence. Known as a thing that devoured heaven and earth, it possessed the power to swallow all things. Between heaven and earth, only a scant few living beings could contend with that devouring power. Black flames swirled around its body, covered in bizarre black runes. Its eyes resembled black holes, radiating a terrifying devouring force, while its entire body exuded an aura of extreme antiquity and eeriness.
Flowing Cloud remembered that, in another timeline, the Tunling Clan had been jointly exterminated by the major forces of the Dou Qi Continent during ancient times. The last clan chief of the Tunling Clan had been slain by the Soul Clan's patriarch, and his corpse was then devoured by Nihility Devouring Flame. This gave Nihility Devouring Flame the ability to seize the bloodlines of other races. Relying on this ability, the Soul Clan's Dou Di bloodline had continued unbroken for tens of thousands of years, never declining.
A thousand years ago, it had joined forces with the Soul Clan's top experts to ambush Xiao Xuan, leading to Xiao Xuan's death. Back when it was an Eight-star Dou Sheng, it had once been severely injured by Gu Yuan.
