The Decisive Battle Was Imminent

The three Patriarch all wore smiles of satisfaction, and at that moment, cracks appeared in the seemingly unbreakable alliance.

Separately, they are just three flames comparable to Eight-star Dou Sheng; when combined, they form the complete Nihility Devouring Flame, which reaches the level of Nine-star Dou Sheng.

Admittedly, almost no one can refine that level of Heavenly Flames, but no one can be sure whether the other two have any other intentions.

Of course, most importantly, the power of the Gu Clan is growing stronger and stronger.

Leaving aside the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, which allied with the Gu Clan, even the two young people, Xiao Yan and Xun'er, were unacceptable to Lei Ying Yan Jin.

Neither the Lei Clan nor the Yan Clan has a younger generation that can rival them.

Just then, the three Patriarch almost simultaneously realized something, took out a Communication Jade Slip from their personal Storage Ring, received the information, and then their expressions changed drastically as they looked at the other two with suspicion.

But before they could raise any objections, the figure of the Hun Tiandi in white suddenly appeared in this void.

With a common enemy appearing, the three temporarily suppressed their surprise and doubt.

The Hun Tiandi had no intention of making enemies of the three. He reached out and grabbed, and the scattered black flames in the void condensed into a ball. A dim, almost vanished phantom emerged from the flames.

Gu Yuan's gaze sharpened, and his aura erupted as he struck out with a palm towards the illusory figure. However, Hun Tiandi reached out and blocked Gu Yuan's palm strike.

Having failed in his first attack, Gu Yuan made no further moves—after all, he had to focus on suppressing the Nihility Devouring Flame, and Yan Jin Lei Ying was not on his side either.

The Hun Tiandi didn't mind; a smile appeared on his refined and amiable face as he looked past the three Patriarch and onto Xiao Yan on East Dragon Island:

"I suggest you go back to the Xiao Family and think carefully about where your Xiao Family's Tou She Ancient God Jade is located."

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, but he kept a straight face and said, "Perhaps you should ask the Nihility Devouring Flame about that."

The Hun Tiandi nodded noncommittally, then looked at the three Patriarch and said, "The Soul Clan has accepted the Tou She Ancient God Jade from each of your clans. Now that the Nihility Devouring Flame is gone, our Soul Realm has been exposed to you. You are welcome to visit the Soul Realm."

After saying that, the Hun Tiandi did not linger and led the Soul Clan to retreat—he was also afraid that Gu Yuan and the other two would join forces to kill him first.

Gu Yuan glanced at the other two and said in a deep voice, "I think the news you received was also that the Tou She Ancient God Jade was stolen?"

Yan Jin and Lei Ying exchanged a glance and nodded.

"No wonder the battle for the Soul Clan's Nihility Devouring Flame went so smoothly this time. It seems that the Hun Tiandi used the Nihility Devouring Flame as bait to lure us away..." Gu Yuan frowned.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we don't get our hands on the last piece of Tou She Ancient God Jade, the Hun Tiandi can't do anything. We can refine the Nihility Devouring Flame and further enhance our clan's foundation," Yan Jin said nonchalantly.

Lei Ying didn't speak, but he clearly agreed with Yan Jin's point of view.

Having broken through to the Nine-star Dou Sheng and obtained the Nihility Devouring Flame, the Yan Clan and Lei Clan now possess the resources to contend with the Gu Clan or the Soul Clan.

As for whether the Xiao Family live or die... what business is it of theirs?

The Xiao Family will only exacerbate the conflict between the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan. If Gu Yuan doesn't attack the Soul Clan, no matter how Xiao Yan reacts, the relationship between Xiao Yan and the Gu Clan will inevitably crack.

If Gu Yuan were to fight the Soul Clan... then Yan Jin Lei Ying wholeheartedly agree.

As for handing over the Tou She Ancient God Jade for Xiao Yan's sake, the possibility is extremely small. Moreover, even if the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion were to emerge, the time in between would be enough for both clans to refine the Nihility Devouring Flame, and the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan would have the confidence to compete for the inheritance.

The three parted on bad terms. No matter how unhappy Gu Yuan was, he couldn't confront them on the spot, so he could only watch them leave in silence.

"Uncle Gu Yuan, I would like to ask someone to go to the Xiao Family to check on the situation..." Xiao Yan said as soon as the outsiders left.

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yan and sighed, "I've entrusted the Tou She Ancient God Jade of the Xiao Family to Xiao Xuan for safekeeping. Go to the Heavenly Tomb and ask him for it!"

"..." Xiao Yan was dejected and speechless, but he still shook his head. "Why should I believe that the Soul Clan will release the Xiao Family after obtaining the last piece of the Tou She Ancient God Jade?"

"Instead of compromising with the Soul Clan, it's better to declare war on the Soul Clan... Or we can wait until Xun'er and I break through to the Nine-star Dou Sheng and then exterminate the Soul Clan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a glint of fire flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, his fists clenched tightly, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Brother Xiao Yan ..." Xun'er grasped Xiao Yan's hand, her eyes filled with heartache, and looked pleadingly at Gu Yuan: "Daddy..."

Gu Yuan turned to look at East Dragon Island. Although the surrounding area had experienced a series of great battles, apart from Zi Yan, who had been beaten up by the North Dragon King, the other Ancient Void Dragon had not suffered any major injuries.

"I need the help of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan ..." Gu Yuan said.

The Beast Region was in an uproar once again.

The Nine Nether Nether Python Clan, leading a type of Magical Beast capable of traversing the earth, searched far and wide for the location of the Soul Hall; the Ancient Void Dragon Clan joined various Black Annihilation Army, using their Space Talent to help them quickly reach the Soul Hall.

The Soul Hall is mostly hidden in remote places, where Magical Beast races often live. In the past, the Soul Hall had the Elders to suppress them, so they naturally lived in peace. Now, however, these Magical Beast races have become the culprits that exposed the Soul Hall's location.

However, it seems the Soul Clan had already prepared for the Soul Hall to evacuate. Some Soul Hall were already deserted, with not even a single chain left behind except for the clean and tidy main halls...

Xiao Yan has now arrived at the Heavenly Tomb.

The Heavenly Tomb is rich in the World Energy. In the outside world, half a year is equivalent to three years. Every six months, one can gain an extra two and a half years of cultivation time, allowing for rapid advancement.

Before Xiao Yan lay the newly repaired Ancient Cauldron and vast quantities of Medicinal Herbs.

At the heart of the many Medicinal Herbs lies a Golden Lightning Dragon, firmly sealed away.

Zi Yan knew that the Gu Clan had a Thunder Pool and a Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire. Coincidentally, Gu Clan Ancient Void Dragon Clan had recorded the location of a Void Lightning Pool, so she went there.

As a result, there was not only a large amount of Black Demonic Lightning there, but also a Nine Profound Golden Thunder at the core that was comparable to Seven Star Dou Sheng.

Gu Yuan then captured it.

Among the Pills, there is one extremely special Pills that can be refined using Thunder Tribulation as the main ingredient, with the quality of the elixir depending entirely on the quality of the Thunder Tribulation.

Using Nine Profound Golden Thunder as the main material, it is enough to refine a high-quality Grade Ninth Grade Profound Pill, allowing Xiao Yan to break through to the Six-star Dou Sheng.

The difficulty of refining Ninth Grade Profound Pill is much greater than the difficulty of Spirit Ascension Ninth-grade Treasure Pill to Ninth Grade Profound Pill, but the environment in the Heavenly Tomb is also much better than that in the Demon Flame Space.

The Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, the Thunder Tribulation Pill, was successfully refined without any major incidents. Xiao Yan first swallowed the black demonic lightning attracted by the Thunder Tribulation Pill to whet his appetite, and then, with the help of several auxiliary pills, he swallowed and refined the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

His cultivation level broke through to the Mid-stage Six-star Dou Sheng, and he was not far from the late stage.

Just as Xiao Yan was planning to continue his arduous cultivation to break through to the Seven Star Dou Sheng as soon as possible and refine the Nihility Devouring Flame, Xiao Xuan appeared and stopped him.

"I am so gratified to see Xiao Chen again, and to have such an outstanding descendant as you... Let me help you break through to the Emperor Realm Soul..."

"Patriarch, let alone Wutan City, we haven't seen any trace of Xiao Yan in the Jia Ma Empire or even the Northwest Continent. The Gu Clan has also focused all its efforts on the Central Continent," Hun Miesheng reported with a frown.

The Soul Hall had three headquarters: Heaven, Earth, and Human Earth Hall and Human Hall were both destroyed, and the Vice Hall Master and the Great Heavenly Saint also perished on the spot. The accumulated Soul Origin was also stolen.

There was no other way; the main force of the Soul Clan was lying in ambush in the Soul Realm, and the Gu Clan only needed to send out one Five-star Dou Sheng to win a crushing victory.

"Looks like I underestimated Xiao Yan? He can endure even more than I can?" The Hun Tiandi was somewhat surprised. "Cut off the hands of a few members of the Xiao Family and send them to him."

"Yes!" Hun Miesheng immediately withdrew and breathed a sigh of relief—it was all for the best that the Hun Tiandi did not hold him responsible for the loss of the Soul Hall.

The Hun Tiandi remained calm. The Yan Clan and the Lei Clan made no move, which was within his expectations. Xiao Yan's composure was truly surprising.

As a result, no one reads the messages left at the Xiao Family's residence.

Shaking his head, putting Xiao Yan out of his mind for the time being, the Hun Tiandi turned his gaze to the sky of the Soul Realm.

The Soul Realm is inherently dark, and at this moment, the sky is covered by endless, pitch-black flames. Clumps of cold, white Soul Origin constantly drift into the flames, healing the soul injuries of the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Although the Gu Clan launched a large-scale siege against the Soul Hall, the Soul Clan's accumulated wealth over the years was not all stored in the Soul Hall; the Gu Clan probably only seized about one-fifth of it.

This one-fifth can be completely compensated for by the souls of the Yao Clan—

Taking advantage of the Nihility Devouring Flame's vulnerability, the Gu Clan Yan Clan Lei Clan launched a surprise attack, and the Hun Tiandi personally annihilated the Yao Clan, reaping the souls of all the Dou Sheng.

However, while injuries to the soul can still be healed, and there is even a chance to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul, the Hun Tiandi.

Even with the replenishment of a single Life Spirit Flame, the Hun Tiandi estimated that the Nihility Devouring Flame could only barely recover to the level of Eight-star Dou Sheng.

"However, the Essence Blood of the Magical Beast race is a new idea. The three major Magical Beast races did have ancestors who rivaled the Dou Emperor. Although they are now in decline, their bloodlines have branched out and are generally not much worse than an Ancient Race..."

"The only problem is that the Beast Region doesn't have any of my Soul Clan's Formation, and there's no way to go there to set up formations now. We need to find a way to get those Magical Beasts and Gu Clan to fight their way to the Soul Realm together..."
