I Fight My Own Battles
Gu Yuan calmly watched Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame, confronting them from a distance.
The last time they were caught off guard, it was the best opportunity to subdue the Nihility Devouring Flame, but they didn't expect the Nihility Devouring Flame to go even further, and ultimately they failed.
Having missed that opportunity, if a fight breaks out again now, the Hun Tiandi will surely be on guard. If he senses something is wrong, he will flee immediately. If Gu Yuan returns weakened and attacks again, then it will be all over.
There's also the Nihility Devouring Flame; he will never approach Gu Yuan now, not giving Gu Yuan any chance to come into contact with his Origin Fire Seed.
However, if we ask ourselves honestly, if the Hun Tiandi were to directly refine the Nihility Devouring Flame, then Gu Yuan would definitely not leave the Gu Clan, but would stay in the Gu Clan's altar all day long— Gu Yuan would not be able to defeat the Hun Tiandi who possesses the Nihility Devouring Flame.
However, the Hun Tiandi did not do that. Considering the Tou She Ancient God and the number one on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, Di Yan, perhaps the Nihility Devouring Flame was more familiar with the Tou She Ancient God's Inheritance, which is why the Hun Tiandi was willing to play along with him.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Nihility Devouring Flame, instead of cooperating with Hun Tiandi, you should cooperate with me. In any case, I am more trustworthy than Hun Tiandi."
"..." The Hun Tiandi didn't know what to say, Nihility Devouring Flame also fell silent.
Some things can be maintained as long as you don't expose them, but once you do, everyone feels awkward.
"I can swear on my soul and the bloodline of the Gu Clan's Dou Di Bloodline that I will never break my promise, but what about the Hun Tiandi? He's not even willing to swear an oath, is he?" Gu Yuan continued.
The battle between the Ancient Clan Three Immortals and the Hun Clan Two Demon Saints slowed down. The Yao Yan Lei Three Clans also pricked up their ears and widened their eyes, never expecting to encounter such a situation.
The Hun Tiandi felt his scalp tingle. How dare Gu Yuan? Wasn't he afraid that the Gu Clan would be devoured by the Nihility Devouring Flame? When did he become so brave?
In truth, Gu Yuan had his own unspoken grievances. Xiao Yan, as a rising star, had advanced too rapidly, becoming Dou Sheng in his twenties with Emperor Realm Soul. Moreover, Xun'er was siding with outsiders. Gu Yuan was worried that the Gu Clan would have to change their surname to Xiao in the future.
Gu Yuan also wanted to try one more time, in case he broke through to the Dou Emperor.
Having waited half his life for a Divine Bloodline, Gu Yuan was helpless as he still had to rely on himself to revive the glory of his Gu Clan.
"Stop wasting your breath! I haven't forgotten the grudge you've inflicted on me by trying to seize my essence time and time again!" Nihility Devouring Flame shouted, interrupting Gu Yuan's words.
Just then, a passage suddenly appeared slowly from the void, and milky white lotus flowers suddenly bloomed in the mountains.
In an instant, the Endless Mountains were purified into nothingness, and the remaining land turned into a barren desert. The legendary Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had finally descended upon the world.
Nihility Devouring Flame frowned slightly. He knew that this was just the residual heat leaked out by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. He could easily devour a mountain range as well, but as a Heavenly Flames, he sensed a slight threat from the Demon Flame Space.
"Boom!"
Another loud bang was heard as Gu Yuan discovered Hun Xuzi, who was trying to sneak into the Demon Flame Space. He reached out a large hand to stop him.
"Hehe, why are you so listless this time?" The Hun Tiandi reached out and grabbed Gu Yuan's large hand.
The two remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air, neither able to gain the upper hand Hun Xuzi seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and he burst into the Demon Flame Space.
Besides Hun Xuzi, several five- or six- Dou Sheng from the three clans also tried to follow closely behind, but unexpectedly, just as Hun Xuzi rushed into it, the Demon Flame Space suddenly closed, and none of them were able to enter.
"The first place on the Heavenly Flame Ranking is blank. In reality, the first and second places are the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Do you Soul Clan want to monopolize them?" Gu Yuan shouted at the Yan Clan Patriarch and the Lei Clan Patriarch, and rushed forward to fight the Hun Tiandi.
The two clan Patriarch could no longer sit still and jumped out to stop Nihility Devouring Flame from helping Hun Tiandi.
Nihility Devouring Flame glanced indifferently at the two Peak Eight-star Dou Sheng, his heart filled with disdain. Although these two could stop him, they were definitely no match for him in a life-or-death struggle.
The remaining Dou Sheng of the three races also set their sights on the Hun Clan Two Demon Saints. They all believed that if they could not stop the Soul Clan from subduing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, they would reduce the Dou Sheng in the Soul Clan.
More than a dozen five-star or higher Dou Sheng fought here, and the space was already torn apart. The entire Central Continent could feel the violent tremors coming from the northwest.
Inside the Demon Flame Space, Xiao Yan looked at Hun Xuzi with a solemn expression.
In Xiao Yan's perception, the aura emanating from Hun Xuzi was extremely strange, so much so that he couldn't even faintly detect the exact number of stars.
Xiao Yan devoured and refined the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and with the power accumulated over ten thousand years in the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, he broke through one after another, and at this time he was already a Six-star Dou Sheng Late Stage.
In fact, that much power would be enough to break through to the Eight-star Dou Sheng, but for Xiao Yan, it wasn't enough to break through to the seven-star level.
It seems that Xiao Yan's Soul Power has made a new breakthrough, enabling him to compress his Dou Qi more condensed; his body and bloodline power have undergone a transformation, able to hold more power, and each level requires more energy.
Similarly, Xiao Yan quality and quantity far surpassed those of ordinary Dou Sheng, should have easily defeated a Seven Star Dou Sheng, but at this moment, Hun Xuzi broke through the Nightmare Heavenly Mist!
A ball of light suddenly burst forth from between Hun Xuzi's brows, continuously spewing out bursts of Black Mist before finally shattering completely, leaving only the faint words, "He is... a split soul..."
"The Soul Heavenly Emperor's Split Soul?" Xiao Yan's expression hardened. Three flames—an invisible flame, Milky White Flame, and a purple flame—surged out from his body and then returned to Xiao Yan, causing his aura to rise directly from the Six-star Dou Sheng Late Stage Xiao Yan to the Eight-star Dou Sheng Initial Stage.
Hun Xuzi wore a faint smile, but his eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent.
"Eight-star Dou Sheng with Emperor Realm Soul is really not easy to kill."
A calm voice rang out, and bursts of black flames ignited from Hun Xuzi's body. This was not the Nihility Devouring Flame, but the flames formed by Hun Xuzi, a Seven Star Dou Sheng, burning his Dou Di Bloodline, which granted him greater power in a short period of time.
With just a glance, both Xiao Yan and the Soul Heavenly Emperor's Split Soul adopted the most costly methods to enhance their strength, doing everything in their power to kill each other!
However, Xiao Yan damaged his own body, while Hun Tiandi directly abandoned Hun Xuzi, Ninth Grade Alchemist of the Soul Clan.
An invisible flame suddenly appeared within the Hun Tiandi's body, causing him to feel agitated. At the same time, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, guided by his emotions, followed closely behind the Fallen Heart Flame, invading his body and wreaking havoc.
Xiao Yan and Hun Xuzi were dozens of miles apart. Xiao Yan raised his hand and threw a punch, and three streams of flames burst out, suddenly appearing in front of Hun Tiandi, triggering a world-destroying explosion.
A strange Devouring Power emanated from the Hun Tiandi's body, forcibly swallowing the incompatible Heavenly Flames into his body, and then suppressing the restless flames with the power gained from burning his Dou Di Bloodline.
The Hun Tiandi smiled slightly, seemingly quite pleased with himself, and said, "I overestimated you. So many Heavenly Flames are a complete waste in your hands; you can't unleash their full power at all."
