The Terror of Nihility Devouring Flame

Yao Dan's figure hovered in the sky, gazing at the towering black flames that spread from the sky to the horizon. His expression was extremely gloomy, and he sensed an extremely terrifying aura emanating from them.

"All members of the Yao Clan, heed my command! Activate the Transformation Heaven Medicine Array!"

Yao Dan took a deep breath, and a resolute shout rang out. This time, he felt an unprecedented crisis, a crisis that made him realize that the survival of the Yao Clan might be decided today. As Yao Dan's shout fell, all the Yao Clan members trembled. The Transformation Heaven Medicine Array, the Yao Clan's protective array, was being activated for the first time since ancient times. This showed just how dangerous the crisis the Yao Clan was facing this time was.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, all the elders of the Yao Clan swiftly unleashed beams of light, shooting them into the mountain range. Instantly, the mountain range trembled, and enormous beams of light burst forth, eventually weaving together in the sky to form a massive, strange array. As the array took shape, all the rare Medicinal Herbs in the mountain range withered in an instant, and boundless energy surged forth, pouring into the array.

"Splash splash splash!"

At this moment, almost all the members of the Yao Clan condensed their inner Dou Qi into a pillar of light, which then shot into the great formation. Instantly, the great formation shone brightly, and a terrifying pressure, like a giant dragon that had been sleeping for thousands of years, quietly awakened. As this pressure was released, the entire space of the Medicine Realm trembled violently, and vast energy continuously converged towards the direction of the great formation.

"What terrifying pressure!"

Even Xiao Yuan, standing within the grand formation, stared solemnly at the dazzling, massive Light Array in the sky. This kind of pressure was probably comparable to that of an eight-star Dou Sheng Expert. The Yao Clan's foundation was indeed extraordinary.

"This is the Yao Clan's protective formation, which has never been activated before. I didn't expect it to be activated this time." The Yao Lao looked at the Light Array with a complicated expression and said, "It is said that this formation was created by the Medicine Clan Forefather, and a trace of his remnant soul remains in it. If it is activated, it may be able to stop the Soul Clan."

"I'm afraid we can't stop them."

Xiao Yuan shook his head.

If he could have stopped them, he wouldn't have needed to take action today.

"Hehe, so this is the Yao Clan's protective formation. Its power is indeed much stronger than that of the Spirit Clan Shi Clan." Outside the formation, Hun Xuzi looked at the formation below, which was surging with energy that even made him feel uneasy, and smiled. Then, under the gaze of many people, he turned around, bowed to the towering black flames, and respectfully said, "Lord Void, perhaps only your intervention can break this formation."

As Hun Xuzi's respectful voice fell, the black flames behind him suddenly began to slowly writhe. As the black flames climbed, they gradually condensed into a human figure, which finally appeared under the gaze of countless eyes.

The figure was enveloped in black flames, with strange black runes covering his body. His eyes, like black holes, exuded a terrifying devouring power. He stood in the sky, stepping on the black flames. Due to the black flames, his face was slightly unclear, but when he appeared, an extremely ancient and strange aura slowly appeared in this world.

However, a dark rune appeared in Xiao Yuan's eyes, and some memories flooded his mind.

In his mind, the Life and Death Heavenly Talisman was also trembling slightly. It is said that in the ancient times of the Tianxuan Continent, when the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol was first born, it was very weak. It was the Devouring Ancestral Symbol that swallowed it into its body to nurture it. Therefore, the relationship between the two was quite close.

But at this moment, Xiao Yuan could not feel any affection for Mu Ru from the Life and Death Heavenly Talisman; instead, he felt a deep sense of disgust.

It's like someone is impersonating your own mother and doing bad things in front of you.

While it's not exactly that, it's pretty much the same.

However, the time was not right. Xiao Yuan remained calmly seated at the table. No one noticed that his other hand, hidden within his sleeve, had already reached into the void, and no one knew what he was doing.

"Waaah!"

On the other side, with the appearance of the black-flame figure, the boundless Nihility Devouring Flame immediately emitted strange, wailing sounds, as if welcoming their master. "Nihility Devouring Flame."

Xiao Yan stared intently at the figure that resembled a demon god. With his perception of the Heavenly Flames, he immediately recognized that this figure was the true form of the Nihility Devouring Flame!

A true Nihility Devouring Flame! "This Nihility Devouring Flame has actually also formed a spirit of Heavenly Flames!"

Yao Lao's mouth was dry. This Nihility Devouring Flame was the same as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the Demon Fire Space, and it was even stronger than the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! Really, is there a problem? He couldn't help but worry.

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the tall, muscular figure, resembling a demon god, slowly lowered his head, looking down at the great array pulsating with immense power. With a flick of his sleeve, the towering black flames above his head surged violently, eventually transforming into a dense rain of black fire that swept down upon the great array.

"Hiss!"

As the black fire rain dripped down, bursts of white mist erupted from the great formation. Everyone could feel that the energy of the great formation was being devoured by the fire rain.

"Yao Clan, surrendering still offers a chance of survival. Your Yao Clan still has some use to us."

Black fire rain poured down, turning the lush mountains withered and yellow almost instantly, as if all life had been swallowed up. At the same time, a hoarse voice that sent chills down one's spine slowly emanated from the demonic figure.

"Trying to devour my Yao Clan won't be that easy!"

Yao Dan's face contorted with rage at that moment. With a fierce shout, several beams of light shot up from the Medicine Mountain and rushed into the great formation. Xiao Yuan, with his sharp eyes, clearly saw that the beams of light contained countless pills of all kinds. The sheer number of them made him gasp. It seemed that the Yao Clan had used up all their treasures this time.

As a massive amount of pills poured into the formation, Yao Dan's expression hardened with determination! "Myriad Pills Transform Heaven, in the name of pills, the Ancestor returns to his position!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Countless pills surged into the grand formation, rapidly disintegrating into a powerful energy. Eventually, the energy within the formation resembled a condensed liquid ocean, its flow emitting deep, rumbling sounds like thunder.

"The progenitor has returned to his rightful place!"

Yao Dan's hands moved in a series of hand seals, his face contorted with rage, and he suddenly let out a fierce shout.

"Splash!"

As his fierce shout fell, a vortex appeared in the center of the great formation, with endless liquid energy surging in continuously. 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 coarse linen clothes appeared in this world.

"Buzz!"

When the illusory old man appeared, the souls of all the members of the Yao Clan present suddenly trembled violently. A pressure originating from their bloodline instantly caused countless figures across the entire mountain range to kneel down.

Only the Yao Lao felt nothing at all.

When Han Shanshan devoured the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, she used her Yao Clan bloodline to communicate with the Yao Clan's ancestor, offering this sacrifice to save the Yao Lao's life.

Furthermore, Yao Lao's body was only refined later, so in terms of bloodline, he has absolutely no relation to the Yao Clan.

Therefore, despite the strange feelings he had, he felt absolutely no physical connection to the ancestor of the Yao Clan.

"The progenitor!"

The elders of the Yao Clan were so excited that tears streamed down their faces as they gazed at the illusory figure. Their faces were filled with fervor. Under the influence of their bloodline, that figure was like a god in their hearts, inviolable.

"Is this the remnant soul of the Yao Clan's progenitor?"

Xiao Yan stared at the figure with a solemn expression. Even his soul, at the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, felt breathless under that figure. It was merely a remnant soul that had remained for countless years, yet it was so terrifying. It was unimaginable what kind of realm a true Dou Di powerhouse would be. In the sky, Hun Xuzi's gaze also became serious. The phantom figure was also pressing down on him with immense pressure. The Yao Clan was indeed not as easy to deal with as the Spirit Clan or the Shi Clan, but no matter how much they struggled, they could not escape that fate.

"Hmm, the Medicine Emperor."

Beside Hun Xuzi, the black-flame figure, with eyes as black as black holes, was also staring at the phantom. After a moment, it let out a soft sigh with an inscrutable meaning.

"Unfortunately, the strongest being of that time is now just a remnant soul."

"May our ancestor bless our Yao Clan!"

Yao Dan knelt down in the sky and roared respectfully.

"The Yao Clan."

Within the grand formation, the old man dressed in coarse linen clothes murmured softly. The passage of time had made his remaining memories increasingly hazy, but fortunately, he still remembered the race he had created. His extremely ancient gaze slowly swept down, finally turning into a soliloquy.

"They've actually fallen so low."

Upon hearing the illusory old man's whispered words, Yao Dan's face immediately flushed with shame. Although things were not as good as in ancient times, he did not utter a word of explanation.

"This is... the Nihility Devouring Flame."

The illusory old man did not speak with any of the Yao Clan members. He slowly raised his head, gazing at the black flames that filled the sky. A look of bewilderment flashed in his eyes again. Then, he waved his sleeve, and light surged forth from the great formation. The black flames that clung to it and were constantly devouring its energy were forcibly dispersed.

"Without complete memories, without a complete soul, in a daze, he is like a puppet. Even a generation of Medicine Emperor has come to this point. Very well, I will take your remnant soul. At least it will be equivalent to millions of complete souls."

In the sky, Nihility Devouring Flame smiled faintly, his tone devoid of any reverence. He simply stretched out his hand, his fingers covered with black runes, and pointed downwards.

Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

Judging from this, the remaining soul power of this Dou Di from the Yao Clan should be enough for Yao Lao or Xiao Yan's soul power to break through to the Emperor Realm, right?

"Boom!"

As the Nihility Devouring Flame finger was pointed out, the world instantly collapsed and the earth cracked. Amidst the sky full of black flames, a giant black flame finger that almost covered half a mountain range descended from the sky and pressed down hard on the great formation. Under that finger, the entire space of this world exploded.

Upon witnessing the terrifying power of this finger strike, many people turned deathly pale.

The black finger descended from the sky, but just as it was about to land on the great formation, the old man in coarse linen clothes finally raised his hand, and a medicine cauldron with an area no smaller than the giant finger appeared on the great formation. The medicine cauldron was covered with various strange patterns, and it looked as if it were a solid object. An ancient aura rippled out.

"Buzz!"

The giant finger pressed heavily on the cauldron, and immediately, a buzzing sound resounded throughout the world.

"Pfft!"

Under that terrifying buzzing sound, some of the weaker ones coughed up blood on the spot, and some even had their eardrums burst, with blood flowing continuously from their ears, a truly miserable sight.

The two collided, the giant finger dissipated, and the medicine cauldron became much more illusory. Even the figure of the old man faded a bit, clearly indicating that a lot of energy had been consumed.

"How many times can a remnant soul withstand my attacks?"

The attack failed, but the Nihility Devouring Flame chuckled and pressed its fingers into the void. The earth shook and several giant fingers descended from the sky, slamming into the giant cauldron one after another.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As a deafening sound rang out, several cracks were forcibly shattered on the giant cauldron.

"All members of the Yao Clan, pour all your Dou Qi into the great formation!"

Seeing that the Nihility Devouring Flame was not afraid even of the remnant soul of the ancestor, Yao Dan's expression changed drastically again. He shouted loudly, and then his Dou Qi transformed into a dazzling pillar of light, which shot into the great formation. Countless pillars of light also shot out from other places. Instantly, the giant cauldron became solid again, and this time, it actually flew out of the great formation and crashed into the Nihility Devouring Flame in the sky.

Upon seeing the giant cauldron flying towards him, Hun Xuzi changed, and he hurriedly hid behind the Nihility Devouring Flame.

"You possess the power of the Yao Clan, and so do I—" Just as the Nihility Devouring Flame was about to make a move, it suddenly seemed to sense something and looked in Xiao Yuan's direction, frowning. "You?"

But this was clearly not the time to talk. Before anyone could finish his sentence, the enormous medicine cauldron was already hurtling toward the direction of the Nihility Devouring Flame.

"If you break this great formation, how am I supposed to capture you?"

Xiao Yuan finally stood up and nodded to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

The two understood that the time had come; Xiao Yuan was finally about to make his move!
