"If the Spirit Clan surrenders today, they still have a chance to survive!"
"Hun Sha, do you think I'm a three-year-old?!" Ling Qi said with a look of grim determination, a hint of contempt in his voice, "Today, the Spirit Clan has no choice but to fight to the death! You think my Spirit Clan will surrender? Dream on!"
"All Spirit Clan present, heed my command! Follow me to activate the Clan Protecting Grand Array and summon our Ancestor!"
At this moment, Ling Qi's expression also turned somewhat ferocious, as he prepared to reveal the ultimate trump card of the Ancient Race.
The remnant soul of Dou Di!
With a sharp shout, dozens of dazzling pillars of light shot up from the Ling World, eventually forming a large array!
"Boom boom boom!"
Countless Dou Qi into the grand formation, instantly coalescing into an ocean of energy. The formation was accompanied by a series of deep, thunderous roars...
"The progenitor has returned to his rightful place!"
Ling Qi's face contorted in rage as he formed a series of hand seals and suddenly let out a fierce shout.
As his fierce shout fell, an energy vortex appeared in the center of the great formation. At the same time, an extremely ancient aura slowly spread out from the vortex. The vortex spun rapidly and finally quietly dissipated. As the vortex disappeared, a phantom old man dressed in a blue robe appeared in this world.
The Ling Emperor Remnant Soul!
When the figure of the Azure-Robed Old Man appeared, the souls of all the Spirit Clan present suddenly trembled violently. A pressure originating from their bloodline instantly caused countless figures in the Ling World to kneel down.
"The progenitor!"
The many Spirit Clan who fought bravely against the enemy looked at that illusory figure with fervor on their faces. Driven by their bloodline, that illusory figure was like a god in the hearts of the Spirit Clan, inviolable!
"The Hun Clan harbors wolfish ambitions and seeks to destroy my Spirit Clan. We humbly beg our Ancestor to protect us and annihilate the Hun Clan!" Ling Qi respectfully bowed to the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul.
"Spirit Clan... Hun Clan..."
Within the great formation, the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul was not fully conscious. He murmured softly, his eyes blankly fixed on the chaotic scene before him. The passage of time had caused him to lose a great deal of his memories, and as he looked around at everything, his eyes became increasingly bewildered.
Fortunately, he still retained some memories of the race he created, the Spirit Clan. His extremely ancient gaze slowly swept across the area below, finally turning into a murmured soliloquy.
"Alas... the Spirit Clan has fallen so low..."
Upon hearing the whispers of the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul, Ling Qi's face immediately flushed with shame. He did not utter a word of explanation, for the Spirit Clan of today was indeed inferior to that of ancient times.
Above the sky, Hun Sha's gaze also turned solemn. The pressure brought to him by the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul was extremely strong. Sure enough, the Spirit Clan was not so easy to deal with, but no matter how much they struggled, they could not escape that fate.
"The Spirit Emperor... but it's a pity that the strongest being of that time is now just a remnant soul..."
"While we can't deal with the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul, that doesn't mean others can't deal with you..." Hun Sha appeared relaxed, then, under the watchful eyes of many, he bowed slightly to the towering black flames above the Ling World and respectfully said, "Void Lord, we must ask for your assistance in breaking this Ling Emperor Remnant Soul..."
As Hun Sha's respectful voice fell, the black flames that filled the sky suddenly began to slowly writhe, eventually coalescing into a human figure that appeared under the gaze of countless eyes.
The figure was enveloped in black flames, obscuring its face. Strange black runes covered its body, and its eyes, like Black Hole, exuded a terrifying devouring power.
Second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking — Void Swallowing Flame!
The Void Swallowing Flame is the second-ranked Strange Fire on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, even surpassing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which appears only once every thousand years, by one place.
Born from nothingness, without form or grasp, this fire is said to be able to devour the heavens and the earth, possessing the power to devour all things. In the world, only a very few things can resist that devouring power.
"Without complete memories, without a complete soul, in a daze, like Puppet, a generation of Dou Emperor has actually fallen to such a state. Very well, if I take your remnant soul, it will be worth at least millions of complete souls."
The Void Swallowing Flame entered the Ling World, showing no fear in the face of the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul. Its fingers, covered with black runes, pointed downwards, and the black flames, emanating a terrifying devouring power, surged towards the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul the gaping maw of a giant beast, as if to devour it all at once.
Black flames enveloped the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul, unleashing a terrifying devouring power. However, even though the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul was just a wisp of soul, he was once a Dou Emperor.
Even though he couldn't unleash the full power of Dou Emperor, he still possessed considerable strength. The Ling Emperor Remnant Soul, engulfed in black flames, finally raised his hand and scattered all the black flames with a mere gesture.
A mouthful of black blood, tinged with dark flames, spurted from the Void Swallowing Flame's mouth, a sign that his Source Flame had been damaged.
"As expected of Dou Emperor! I'm becoming more and more interested in you!"
A mysterious smile appeared on Void Swallowing Flame's face, but because his face was shrouded in black flames, no one could see his expression.
Although the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul was extremely powerful, he had already understood its true strength after that test. A mere Ling Emperor Remnant Soul couldn't last long. Perhaps defeating the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul would require expending a lot of his Source Flame, but it would all be worth it!
"All members of the Spirit Clan, heed my command! Sacrifice your own bloodline! To aid our progenitor!"
Seeing that the Void Swallowing Flame was not afraid even when facing the remnant soul of the progenitor, Ling Qi's expression changed drastically. He shouted loudly and then took the Ling Qi in rushing into the great formation.
Seeing this, the surviving members of the Spirit Clan also threw themselves into the great formation. There was an invisible devouring force within the formation, and under this devouring force, streams of bright red blood flew out from the bodies of the Spirit Clan members.
This bright red blood is no ordinary blood. It is the Dou Di Bloodline that all the Ancient Race are proud of and rely on for survival. The Dou Di Bloodline in the bodies of the Spirit Clan Race is generally thin, but if a large number of thin Dou Di Bloodline can be fused together, they can become a very rich Dou Di Bloodline.
The Dou Di Bloodline flowed towards the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul. As streams of bright red blood merged into the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul, the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul became extremely solid at this moment.
"Hmph! A death throes!"
"You think you can defeat me with just a remnant soul? You're far too naive!"
The Void Swallowing Flame remained calm; for him, dealing with the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul would simply require a little more time.
Next, the Void Swallowing Flame rushed directly towards the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul, transforming into a sky full of black flames that completely enveloped Ling Emperor Remnant Soul Spirit Emperor and attempted to devour it entirely.
How could the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul within the black flames allow the Void Devouring Void Swallowing Flame to do as it pleased? Immediately, the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul began to resist fiercely. With its remaining strength, it forcibly tore a hole in the Void Swallowing Flame that was enveloping it. However, the Void Swallowing Flame was not to be outdone. Black flames surged forth and, in the blink of an eye, it filled the gap torn open by the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing the entire Ling World to tremble violently. At this moment, all the Spirit Clan who were still resisting the Hun Clan knew that the Clan Protecting Grand Array had been broken!
The Ling Emperor Remnant Soul was ultimately devoured by the Void Swallowing Flame. After the Ling Emperor Remnant Soul was devoured, everyone in the Spirit Clan felt as if something important was missing from the depths of their souls. Some collapsed to the ground in despair, while others rose up in even more frantic resistance...
Those who resisted were undoubtedly slaughtered, and those who surrendered and begged for their lives had their cultivation stripped away...
The battle within the Ling World gradually came to an end. The Spirit Clan was gone. The Spirit Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, was wiped out in less than a day.
In this battle, the Spirit Clan Chief Ling Qi was killed, all ten percent of the Spirit Clan members in the Ling World perished, and a million Spirit Clan descendants were captured by the Hun Clan and all were escorted back to the Soul World.
They also have another function: to contribute to the Hun Clan's millennium-long plan.
In the future, after the clan leader obtains the Emperor Pill Embryo, they will use these Spirit Clan descendants for blood sacrifice, extracting a large amount of energy from their lives to complete the final step of the Emperor Pill Embryo, allowing the clan leader to advance to the Dou Di!
The Spirit Clan are extinct.
Next target: the Shi Clan!
