Mo Tang's Calculations
"The Yao Clan..."
Within the grand formation, the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul, dressed in coarse linen clothes, murmured softly.
As time went by, his already dwindling memories became increasingly hazy.
Fortunately, he still retained memories of the race he had created. His extremely ancient gaze slowly swept across the area below, finally turning into a murmured monologue.
"To think they've fallen so low..."
All right.
This ancestor's words almost made Yao Dan and all the elders of the Yao Clan feel ashamed to death.
This is truly a disgrace to our ancestors...
Of course, now that the continuation of the race is at stake, the Yao Dan don't care about losing face anymore.
"This is... the Nihility Devouring Flame..."
The Medicine Emperor showed no intention of speaking to any member of the Yao Clan. Instead, he slowly raised his head, gazing at the black flames that filled the sky, a look of bewilderment flashing in his eyes once more.
After saying that, he waved his sleeve, and light suddenly shone on the array. The black flames that were clinging to it and constantly devouring energy were forcibly dispersed.
"Without complete memories, without a complete soul, he was like a puppet in a daze. Who could have imagined that a generation of Medicine Emperor would end up like this?"
"Heh, fine. Taking your remnant soul is at least worth millions of complete souls!"
Nihility Devouring Flame smiled faintly, his tone showing no reverence for the supreme powerhouse.
This behavior made Mo Tang realize that something was wrong.
Although the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul in the original work was easily destroyed by the Nihility Devouring Flame, the Yao Clan was also destroyed as a result.
But in the current situation, with the powerful figures personally led by the patriarchs of the Thunder Clan and the Yan Clan assisting them, if the Soul Clan really does things the way they did in the original story, even with two of the Four Demon Saints leading their own forces as reinforcements, they would definitely fail against the combined power of the three clans, plus the leader of the largest power in the Central Plains, Elder Shen Nong, and all these powerful figures from various sects.
Mo Tang didn't believe that Nihility Devouring Flame couldn't see the situation on the field...
Not only it, but even Hun Xuzi was calm and composed, clearly confident that he could capture everyone present today!
The only one who could give him such confidence would be the Hun Tiandi himself!
Otherwise...
"Oh no, watch out!"
Mo Tang's sudden warning attracted the attention of many people.
As everyone followed Mo Tang's instructions, they discovered that the black flames in the sky had suddenly begun to churn violently, and then, an aged figure, seemingly on the verge of death, slowly descended...
At the same time, a vast and terrifying aura, no less powerful than that of Lei Ying and Yan Jin, suddenly swept out!
"An eight- Dou Sheng?!"
Sensing that fierce and incomparable aura, Mo Tang's pupils also shrank slightly. He did not expect that the Soul Clan would actually send out a powerhouse of this level!
Compared to Mo Tang, the powerful members of the Yao Clan, Thunder Clan, and Yan Clan present were even more shocked.
In their minds, the Soul Clan, after its patriarch Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame, consisted of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan.
When did the Soul Clan actually have an eight-star Saint level expert?!
For a long time, among the Eight Ancient Clans, apart from the Xiao Clan, which was once recognized as the strongest clan, the remaining Soul Clan and the Gu Clan were considered to be roughly equal in everyone's perception.
In particular, the Soul Clan lost many veteran powerhouses in their attempt to assassinate Xiao Xuan.
For a thousand years, the Soul Clan and the Gu Clan have been on equal footing, both possessing patriarchs at the late stage of the Nine-star Dou Sheng realm, and both having top-tier powerhouses comparable to the patriarchs of the Medicine, Spirit, and Stone Three Immortals of the Gu Clan — the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan...
The previous Nihility Devouring Flame wasn't nine stars, but eight stars, and it was even injured by Gu Yuan. Coincidentally, the Gu Clan also had Hei Yan Wang Gu Lie, who was comparable to it.
Even after the true strength of the Nihility Devouring Flame was revealed, it still forced the other races to unite and stick together for warmth...
But now the Soul Clan has once again produced an eight-star Saint level expert. The three clan leaders present suddenly felt that the Soul Clan's strength far exceeded their imagination, and they instantly felt uncertain.
At this point, Mo Tang below suddenly understood what the Soul Clan was planning.
While the Yao Clan, together with the Thunder Clan, Yan Clan, and Gu Clan, were plotting against the Soul Clan, the Soul Clan was also plotting against them.
If Mo Tang is not mistaken, this person should be one of the four elders of the Soul Clan who controlled the Deadly Silence Gate in the original work.
These four people were originally supposed to have died in the battle between the Soul Clan and Xiao Xuan, but they were preserved by the Soul Clan using a secret method and have been in a state of semi-death ever since.
Although they could still unleash the terrifying power of an eight- Dou Sheng, they were essentially dead. Even with a thousand years of accumulated strength, the life force within them couldn't sustain them through prolonged, high-intensity combat...
Even so, if the four of them used the Deadly Silence Gate to set up the legendary Realm of Death Formation of the Soul Clan, it would indeed be possible to wipe out the elites of the three races and the top experts of many major forces in the Central Plains all at once.
"The Soul Clan is indeed quite ambitious!"
Mo Tang narrowed his eyes slightly.
The reason why the Realm of Death Formation in the original novel was broken so easily was because Yan Li took advantage of Hun Yuantian's arrogance and his own Emperor Realm Soul to unexpectedly seize control of one of the Deadly Silence Gate, which created a flaw in the formation, allowing it to be broken by a joint effort of many powerful individuals...
Mo Tang didn't believe that since the Soul Clan had mobilized these almost disposable old guys, they only sent one of them. So the other three must have already arrived, but just hadn't shown up yet.
"If that's the case, then we must find an opportunity to seize one of the Deadly Silence Gate later!"
The strength of the Soul Clan this time exceeded Mo Tang's expectations, so for his own safety, he had to ensure that he could escape if he wanted to leave.
Of course, if the opportunity arises, he wouldn't mind letting both sides suffer heavy losses. Then, perhaps they could sit down and have a proper talk, such as jointly opening the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion...
At this moment, the atmosphere at the summit of Medicine Mountain had become extremely quiet.
The ancient and weathered figure of the Medicine Emperor remains the focus of this world, and even his every breath affects the Xuan Realm that he built entirely with his own hands.
The Nihility Devouring Flame remained the same faceless, pitch-black flame figure, but its aura was in no way inferior to that of the former supreme powerhouse.
The forces on both sides have now reached a strange balance, with immense pressure weighing on everyone, preventing them from making any rash moves lest they prematurely detonate this powder keg.
"Hehe, you should be ready by now..."
A faint voice suddenly came from the mouth of the Nihility Devouring Flame, instantly making everyone on the three races' side feel that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, by then it was too late...
"Hehehe, we're waiting for this bag to be tied up. I wonder what you're waiting for, Patriarch Yao Dan?" Hun Xuzi sneered at Yao Dan and the others.
