Endless Fire Domain

In the dark Soul Realm, there are two vast seas filled with boundless energy—one black and the other red.

The black ocean dominated the entire sky, emanating a powerful suction force, like an abyss. Countless rare and precious materials were swallowed into it, yet it could not cause any ripples, only making the ocean more restrained.

The red ocean was smaller, covering only a few hundred miles in circumference, and exuded a nauseating yet terrifying stench of blood. In the depths of that ocean, a Blood Cocoon about ten feet in size was submerged, slowly devouring the blood in the ocean.

The Soul Clan members were already familiar with this scene. For the past ten months, both Nihility Devouring Flame and the Patriarch Chief had been in seclusion, breaking through their limits.

But today, a terrifying surge of spiritual energy slowly emanated from that black ocean.

"Roar!"

A fierce roar erupted from the black ocean, echoing throughout the entire Soul Realm, as if trying to completely dispel the setbacks and blows suffered recently.

As the roar resounded, the soul fluctuations grew stronger and stronger until they reached a certain peak, becoming almost tangible and distorting the space itself.

A figure suddenly stood up, and a monstrous surge of soul energy erupted like Volcanic Eruption, spreading wildly and overwhelmingly.

"Congratulations to Lord Void on advancing to the Emperor Realm Soul!"

Nihility Devouring Flame felt very comfortable - in just ten months, he broke through to the Emperor Realm Soul and his cultivation level increased to the Nine-star Dou Sheng Middle Stage.

In this way, they won't be completely crushed by Xiao Yan.

However, before Nihility Devouring Flame could even burst into laughter, a sense of impending death washed over him.

His lips had barely curled into a slight smile before his face contorted in a grimace, his eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and he stared intently in the direction from which the danger was coming.

Without a second's hesitation, Nihility Devouring Flame followed its instincts and made the right choice, swallowing all the black flames that devoured the Soul Realm back into its body, using the entire Soul Realm as a shield to resist that unknown thing.

As for the Nihility Devouring Flame itself, it broke through the Soul Realm without hesitation, abandoning those who offered their congratulations, and fled into the Dou Qi Continent.

The Hun Tiandi, who was originally on guard against the Nihility Devouring Flame seizing his physical body, was slightly taken aback. Then the Blood Cocoon trembled violently, broke through the Blood Sea, and followed closely behind, leaving the Soul Realm.

Just as the two strongest beings fled at the speed of light, and the old, weak, sick, and disabled Soul Clan were bewildered, a ball of light about ten feet in size completely ignored the Space Barrier created by the Soul Emperor and entered the Soul Realm.

The ball of light silently traced an arc and landed not far from the Blood Sea where the Hun Tiandi had previously been in seclusion.

A wave spread out, and the world lost its original colors. No one could hear the booming sound of the explosion, because any medium that could transmit sound, such as air, soil, rocks, or even space, was instantly obliterated by this wave, forcibly erased and turned into nothingness.

Time itself seemed unable to withstand its terrifying power, and was forcibly distorted under this fluctuation, losing its original meaning.

Words seemed pale and powerless in the face of this explosion. The Soul Clan members did not even feel a trace of pain before they vanished along with the Soul Realm and merged into the empty void.

A dazzling display of fireworks burst forth in the void, and the Space Barrier, which had been repaired and reinforced by generations of the Soul Clan Battle Dou Sheng over tens of thousands of years, shattered under the impact of these fireworks.

The unstoppable wave of fire broke through the barrier. Although most of its power had already been released into the void, the aftershocks still descended upon the Dou Qi Continent like a natural disaster, piercing through the spatial passage that had just appeared in the Soul Realm and descending before the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Hun Tiandi.

The two dared not even use their Space Power to escape, fearing that the earth-shattering explosion would shatter the fragile space and force them to confront its unparalleled power.

The Nihility Devouring Flame now resembled its first appearance since birth, drifting helplessly amidst the vast waves of fire.

The Hun Tiandi was in an even worse situation. Before he could even break through his cultivation barrier, he was suddenly faced with such a change. The Blood Cocoon was rapidly thinning at a speed that horrified the Hun Tiandi.

The Hun Tiandi, who was originally absorbing power, now had to expend his own Essence Blood to nourish the Blood Cocoon in order to barely survive in the waves of fire.

Worst of all, this terrifying commotion could not be concealed at all. The Hun Tiandi could vaguely sense that his old friends, the two Peak Dou Saints, Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan, had already looked in this direction.

The ancestors of the Flame and Lightning Clans had only just been created Living Dead, and their life force had not yet been replenished, so they could only last for a very short time.

But there was no time to worry about that now. The most important thing was to survive. There was no need for communication. Nihility Devouring Flame contacted Yan Jin and Lei Ying and asked them to bring their ancestors to provide support.

The fire wave engulfed the surrounding area for thousands of miles. Regardless of whether the original terrain was mountains, forests, rivers, or swamps, under the ravages of the fire wave, all that remained was rolling lava whose colors were indistinguishable.

As expected, once the fire subsides, this place can be called the Exotic Flame Plains, containing a large number of crystals that contain the energy of Heavenly Flames. Using these crystals to cultivate the Prosperous Fire will surely greatly improve the quality of the Prosperous Fire.

Xiao Yan stared with dead fish eyes, blocking the way of Nihility Devouring Flame and Hun Tiandi who had just escaped the range of the fire wave, and thought to himself.

At this moment, the Nihility Devouring Flame's aura was weak. Although it had just made a breakthrough, it was still no match for Xiao Yan.

On the contrary, the Hun Tiandi's body was like a broken porcelain vase, covered with dense cracks. Strands of blood containing immense energy seeped out from the cracks, which brought considerable pressure to Xiao Yan.

"As expected of the Hun Tiandi, he has already cultivated the Dou Di Physical Body in just ten months." Xiao Yan said with some emotion.

The Hun Tiandi took a deep breath, and dozens more drops of blood flowed from his body. However, this time they did not drip, but instead condensed into a solid layer of Blood-colored Armor.

"That's terrifying. I thought you had already broken through to the Dou Emperor before me, but now it seems you're just Nine-star Dou Sheng."

"However, since you have also broken through to the Nine-star Dou Sheng, why don't we open the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion together, let those useless Ancient Race withdraw, and then each rely on our own methods after finding the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill? What do you say?"

Hun Tiandi's eyes were filled with chilling killing intent, and his entire body's Dou Qi was locked on Xiao Yan, as if he might make a move at any moment, but he wore a refined and gentle smile on his face.

"Alright, shall we open the ruins first?" Xiao Yan replied with a faint smile.

"..." Hun Tiandi's smile froze. He was just stalling for time to stabilize his blood and qi, and waiting for the support of the Yan and Lei Clans. He never expected that Xiao Yan would agree so readily.

"It seems that Nihility Devouring Flame didn't tell you that besides the embryonic core, there is an even more precious inheritance in the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"..." ×2

Neither Nihility Devouring Flame nor Hun Tiandi looked at each other. Nihility Devouring Flame was helping the Soul Clan because he had something in mind. Hun Tiandi also speculated about why Nihility Devouring Flame, who had even given up the Emperor Pill, still had something in mind.

The two were tacitly aware of each other's feelings, separated only by a thin veil, but now Xiao Yan has exposed it, making things very awkward.

Especially this thin veil of paper, which has been torn many times. Every time the two try to join forces under external pressure, the thin veil is torn again. Until now, they have been cultivating separately and have not had a deep connection.

It only took a short while before the auras of two peak Peak Dou Saint entered the three people's senses.

Although one of them was weaker, it was still overwhelming compared to the Nihility Devouring Flame.

"Your move wiped out the entire Soul Realm. It was comparable to a real Dou Emperor's attack. I don't believe you didn't pay the price."

The stalemate was broken. Instead of running away, Hun Tiandi suddenly took a step forward. The extremely dense bloody smell was like a ferocious blood beast with its mouth wide open, about to swallow Xiao Yan whole!

Xiao Yan simply smiled slightly, and the Emperor Flame residing in his heart spewed out dazzling flames, instantly surging throughout his body—the explosion consumed Xiao Yan's Soul Power and Dou Qi, but Xiao Yan's physical body was still capable of fighting!

As endless flames flowed through his body, Xiao Yan's body swelled up. With a single breath, he transformed into a fiery storm that swept across the heavens and earth, completely dispelling the Hun Tiandi's blood energy!

"How is that possible!"

The Hun Tiandi's face suddenly turned ferocious, and he could no longer pretend. He roared and his body rapidly expanded.

"Boom!"

The moment the two collided, Xiao Yan felt his blood surging and staggered back six or seven steps before regaining his footing. Hun Tiandi, on the other hand, only took half a step back and stopped outside the wave of fire.

"Haha! I knew it! How could you possibly compare to me!"

The Hun Tiandi laughed maniacally, having gathered the Dou Di Bloodline of his entire clan and devoured the Soul Emperor's Dou Di Mark. The power of this body was already no weaker than that of a true Dou Di Physical Body, and much stronger than Xiao Yan.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan's interference before he could fully succeed, Hun Tiandi would only have become stronger!

"You must have consumed the Golden Body Creation Pill to have cultivated your physical body to this level, right? Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan are just ordinary Peak Dou Saint, what makes them think they can stop me!"

As the Hun Tiandi strode forward, endless magma suddenly erupted beneath his feet, like a volcanic eruption.

However, compared to that explosion, the power of this magma was much weaker. Hun Tiandi only paused slightly before rushing towards Xiao Yan again.

Xiao Yan was not afraid at all and immediately unleashed a punch that struck the Eight Extremes Collapse.

"Bang..."

Xiao Yan was forced back seven or eight steps again, but the Hun Tiandi was also not in good shape. Eight different kinds of Heavenly Flames invaded his body. He could only suppress five of them in time, while the other three exploded, causing the Hun Tiandi's huge body to shake.

But that's all. The Hun Tiandi's body was filled with rich crimson energy, every inch of which was the bloodline of the Soul Clan's Dou Di Bloodline. The injuries caused by the explosion of the Heavenly Flames were completely negligible for his massive body.

Even the Fallen Heart Flame, which invaded at the very beginning of the war, has yet to achieve anything.

"Blood Fiend Soul Devouring Finger!"

Hun Tiandi strode forward with his right foot, his Blood-colored Armor suddenly bursting with light, which finally condensed on his index finger and slammed down on Xiao Yan.

A finger, a thousand feet in size, condensed and before it even made contact, its overwhelming pressure shattered the earth.

Xiao Yan's lips twitched, his body suddenly shrank, and he vanished into the void.

"Puff..."

The finger struck empty space, shattering the space itself, yet also piercing through the void, unleashing a raging wave of fire.

"As expected, the power has been greatly reduced; the strongest moment was only during the explosion..."

The Hun Tiandi murmured something under his breath, and the waves of fire were completely blocked by the Blood-colored Armor, unable to harm him in the slightest.

Even if it was Nihility Devouring Flame... well, he had already run far away and joined up with Yan Jin Lei Ying, and was resisting Xiao Xuan Gu Yuan.

"Click click click..."

Space shattered like a mirror, revealing the void filled with an endless sea of fire.

Xiao Yan stood quietly in the void. Just as the Hun Tiandi had predicted, the power of these flames was far less than that of the moment of the explosion.

But it is precisely because of this that Xiao Yan was able to regain control of them.

The pitch-black, Nihility Devouring Flame scattered throughout the void, replacing the shattered space and forming a Small World, confining the Hun Tiandi within this Small World.

The sky was filled with black stars, and flashes of silver lightning flickered in the purple night sky.

Endless magma gushed from the riddled ground, and on top of that magma, lotus flowers quietly bloomed. Looking around, there were White Lotus, Red Lotus, and Green Lotus.

The magma seemed to be some kind of flame, and on top of the magma was a layer of azure water.

As the night sky and the ground gradually merged, the Nihility Devouring Flame sealed everything, and this Small World seemed to form a huge furnace. Even the Hun Tiandi felt waves of heat.

"We can't wait any longer..."

His expression turned slightly serious. Hun Tiandi put away all his arrogance and wanted to rush forward and tear Xiao Yan to pieces, but he suddenly realized that his movements were much slower.

"Waaaaah..."

A disturbing gust of wind arose, and gusts of black Nether Wind, as if blowing from the Nine Netherworld Hell, swirled around the Hun Tiandi.

His steps faltered slightly, and a massive Earth-Yellow Tornado, tens of thousands of feet in size, suddenly appeared, enveloping the Hun Tiandi in its eye.

"Boom!"

A bright silver bolt of lightning struck down from the starry sky, and the ground beneath its feet, which had been fused with countless Heavenly Flames, seemed to echo it from afar. Heaven and earth joined forces, and the lightning struck the Hun Tiandi, who was trapped in the eye of the storm, with great force.

"Blood Demon Heart-Eroding Lightning!"

The Hun Tiandi bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. In an instant, the Essence Blood transformed into a mountain-sized Blood-colored Demon Lightning, shattering all the flames engulfing the Hun Tiandi.

"Roar!"

A Dragon Phoenix, also ten thousand feet in size, lunged forward and slammed heavily onto the Hun Tiandi, causing him to stagger.

Countless tiny White Insects crawled out from the Dragon Phoenix's scales. Each one was extremely weak, but they landed on the Hun Tiandi like moths to a flame, gnawing at his Blood-colored Armor and secreting strands of white liquid in an attempt to restrict his movements.

Lotus blossoms, drawing energy from the liquid, grew on the Blood-colored Armor.

"Boom!"

A giant golden fist slammed into the back of the Hun Tiandi, golden flames clinging to it like a malignant sore, burning fiercely.

The Blood-colored Armor could no longer withstand the continuous blows, and a glaring crack appeared on its surface.

"Welcome to the Endless Fire Domain!"
