Gu World.
The Ancestral Hall Elder Gu Yang, self-destructed, ultimately delivering the Gu Clan Tou She Ancient God Jade, which he had seized, to the Hun Tiandi.
"Hun Tiandi! Leave the Ancient Jade behind!"
At this moment, Gu Yuan's face was very gloomy, but before he could make a move, the black mist in the space rift behind Hun Tiandi surged, and a huge black seal took shape again!
As Gu Yuan gazed at the forming black mark, he paused. The Gu Clan experts below also hurriedly condensed their ancient mirrors again to prevent the Hun Clan's destructive attack.
"Gu Yuan, as I said before, when the Xiao Clan perished, the Gu Clan lost its best chance to contend with the Hun Clan..." The Hun Tiandi smiled as he looked at the gloomy-faced Gu Yuan and said slowly.
"The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave will eventually fall into the hands of my Hun Clan... Gu Yuan, I will reach that level, believe me..."
"Hmph! The Ancient Jade is divided into eight pieces. Even if you obtained the Ancient Jade of the Gu Clan, you only have four pieces. There's no need to be so smug!"
Gu Yuan said coldly.
"Is that so?" A strange smile appeared on the Hun Tiandi's face, and then he said softly, "Then let's wait and see."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's body trembled violently, his chest heaving, and his face turned extremely shocked.
Did the Hun Clan attack the Gu Clan while also targeting the Flame Clan, Lei Clan, and Medicine Clan?
Despite Gu Yuan's shock, the Hun Tiandi smiled faintly and slowly retreated into the spatial rift. Under the intimidating presence of the enormous black seal, even Gu Yuan dared not act rashly...
"When we meet again, I, the Hun Tiandi, will surely reign supreme over this world!"
At the same time, the situation of the Lei Clan is the same as that of the Gu Clan.
Hundreds of miles away from the Shen Nong Mountain Range, in a remote mountain range, a flame floats silently above the earth, seemingly harmless, yet it contains an extremely terrifying power.
As you zoom in, you see a two-tone flame, gold mixed with a hint of emerald green, or perhaps, two different flames devouring each other.
Judging from the appearance, the golden flame clearly had the upper hand. The other flame gradually lost ground under its fierce attack. A moment later, the last bit of emerald green was also completely devoured.
"Boom!"
As the last bit of emerald green disappeared, the golden flames expanded considerably. The flames surged, eventually transforming into a figure enveloped in a large amount of golden flames. Deep within its eyes, a glimmer of emerald green flashed by, replaced by two small golden flames that leaped violently, seemingly revealing excitement.
"The Flame of Life, truly worthy of being ranked fifth among the Strange Fire, what an intoxicating power!"
At this moment, the golden-flame figure actually spoke. The voice was clear and ethereal, and the owner of the voice should not be very old, and should be a woman.
"The Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame has actually given birth to Heavenly Flame Spirit?"
A voice filled with disbelief rang out, and the space above the sky slightly distorted as Huo Xuan slowly walked out from the void.
Upon hearing this, the golden-flame figure remained calm, with golden light flashing in its eyes.
"You're not the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, are you, Gu Xun'er!"
Upon hearing Huo Xuan's words, the golden flame figure was slightly taken aback, but because its face was covered by the swirling golden flames, its change was not visible.
The next second, Jin Yanren proved Huo Xuan's idea with his actions. The golden flames swirling around Jin Yanren's body disappeared, and a moment later, a beautiful figure appeared in Huo Xuan's field of vision.
The woman who appeared wore a golden robe, with golden flames swirling around it. Her entire body exuded an undeniable air of nobility. She had a slender figure and long golden hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.
It was none other than Gu Xun'er!
As she had been when she fell, her beauty was exquisite, possessing a noble air with an ethereal quality. However, her once jet-black eyes had now transformed into gold, and under their gaze, even the temperature of the world seemed to rise abruptly...
"You actually found out?"
"I detected a trace of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame on the Old Man Shennong, so I concluded that the Old Man Shennong must have been killed by the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame. I had previously vaguely heard that the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame was retrieved from the Demon Flame Space by the Gu Clan, but an accident occurred on its way back to the clan, and the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame actually injured the Gu Clan and escaped. If this is true, I think there is only one explanation: the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame has developed its own sentience and no longer wants to be the Gu Clan's inherited Strange Fire."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er smiled slightly, the flames in her eyes burning even brighter, and said, "Your analysis makes a lot of sense, but how did you know I existed?"
"Hehe, how difficult is it for a Strange Fire to develop sentience? When it was in the Demon Flame Space, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame had no sentience whatsoever, but after that, it was able to develop sentience in a very short time? So, I had a bold idea in my mind: that sentience was not generated by the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame on its own, but must have been assisted by someone. And just now, my idea was completely confirmed."
"You're quite smart."
Gu Xun'er commented with a smile.
Back in the Demon Flame Space, Gu Xun'er also thought she was doomed, but she didn't want to give up and wanted to find a glimmer of hope. So, she painfully separated a part of her soul and hid it in the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.
Normally, once a person's soul seeps into Strange Fire, it will be Strange Fire. But in that situation, Gu Xun'er didn't think too much and just wanted to preserve a sliver of life. By chance, her soul entered the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame and was not burned.
Looking back now, it must be because the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame Gu Clan's inherited Strange Fire, and its depths have long been marked with the Gu Clan's mark. Moreover, it has been with Gu Xun'er for many years. When Gu Xun'er's soul entered it, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame did not harm her, but instead generously accepted her.
Within the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, Gu Xun'er conceived the idea of merging with it, believing that this would not only grant her new life but also immense power!
Since the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame lacked sentience and did not resist, Gu Xun'er's fusion process went very smoothly.
Afterwards, Gu Dao came to the Demon Flame Space to retrieve the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame. At that time, Gu Xun'er was almost completely integrated with the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.
Gu Xun'er was unwilling to return to the Gu Clan because if she returned and the Gu Clan investigated thoroughly, she would definitely be discovered. Gu Yuan would then separate her from the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame and find another way to help her revive.
But her God Grade Bloodline had long since been purified into nothingness by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Her God Grade Bloodline was her only source of confidence that allowed her to rival Huo Xuan.
Without God Grade Bloodline, she would no longer be a chosen one of heaven, and her strength after resurrection would no longer be that of Dou Sheng. Without the blessing of bloodline, how could she compare to Huo Xuan?
Will Gu Yuan avenge her?
Will he declare war on the Flame Clan again for her sake?
No! Absolutely not!
Gu Xun'er had long been disappointed in Gu Yuan, and instead of pinning her hopes on Gu Yuan, she might as well pin her hopes on herself.
"Gu Xun'er, can you even be considered a human being now?"
"Hmph! Whether you're human or not is irrelevant now. Defeating you and taking care of you is what matters most!"
"What a madman!"
Huo Xuan was completely taken aback. He had assumed that Gu Xun'er had perished in the Demon Flame Space, but who would have thought that although her physical body was destroyed, her soul would possess the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame!
"You survived even like that back then, Gu Xun'er, you're pretty tough!" Huo Xuan remained calm throughout, clenched his fist, and summoned the Little Demon, saying, "I didn't obtain the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame back then because I was afraid of something unexpected happening. Thinking back on it carefully, I still have some regrets. Defeating you today will be a good way to make up for that regret."
