When Xiao Xuan led the Xiao Clan members to the Burial Heaven Mountain Range, several clans were already waiting there.
Outside the Tunling Realm, the alliance of the various clans had been formed in secret, so the Tunling Clan remained unaware that it was facing extinction.
Within the Tunling Realm, the great Dou Saints launched a direct assault on the mountain gate formation.
Faced with the terrifying energy impact that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, even the Tunling Clan's protective formation ultimately collapsed completely, turning into countless motes of light that poured down from the sky, each reflecting a glimmering radiance.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"Who is it?"
Within the Tunling Clan, dozens of powerful auras instantly appeared outside the barrier.
At their head stood a Nine-Star Dou Saint, with four Eight-Star Dou Saints behind him.
The Nine-Star Dou Saint was the current Patriarch of the Tunling Clan.
"Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, Xiao Xuan... What are you doing? Do you intend to fight my clan to the death?"
Hun Tiandi said, "The only ones to blame are yourselves for going too far. If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place.
"You actually dared to devour the bloodlines of other Emperor Clans to continue your inheritance.
"This is something we cannot tolerate."
No one else spoke. The Tunling Clan Patriarch knew that they had been exposed after all.
"All members of the Tunling Clan, this is the moment of life or death for our clan.
"And we have only one path left: give everything we have to preserve our bloodline.
"All elders, attack with me!"
Along with his fierce shout, overwhelming figures immediately swept out from the mountain range. Not only were there Tunling Clan elders, but even the younger generation of the Tunling Clan charged forward with bloodshot eyes.
They understood that if they could not endure this calamity, the Tunling Clan would vanish completely from history.
The Tunling Clan was their root. Without the bond of those roots, they would become displaced, and all their past glory and pride would fade into oblivion.
"Kill!"
As he watched the dense mass of figures soar into the sky, the Tunling Clan Patriarch's body trembled.
Surging Dou Qi burst from his body without restraint, eventually forming a thousand-zhang-long torrent of Dou Qi that whistled forth with terrifying force toward the powerful experts glaring down from the sky.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Behind those thousand-zhang torrents of Dou Qi, countless more torrents of varying strength shot out at the same time, carrying an air of utter resolve.
Hun Tiandi said, "Kill!"
The other ancient clans attacked one after another. Only Xiao Xuan and the elders behind him looked grim as they watched the Tunling Clan members charge forward, ready to die.
Given the Xiao Clan's situation, would the Tunling Clan's fate today become the fate awaiting the Xiao Clan in the future?
Xiao Xuan said, "Sigh, on the Dou Qi Continent, it is ultimately the strong who devour the weak, and strength rules all.
"Elders, make your move!"
"Yes!"
In the sky, the Tunling Clan Patriarch's expression changed as he looked at the endless torrents of Dou Qi filling his vision. Even for him, if he were struck by such an attack, he would likely be seriously wounded on the spot.
Especially that man in white robes with the gentle expression. His Nine-Star Dou Saint strength was unleashed without the slightest reservation.
His palm, covered in strange runes, formed seals with lightning speed. At once, the black flames that nearly covered the entire space began to churn violently.
In the end, they formed a black-hole vortex tens of thousands of zhang wide. The instant the vortex took shape, an indescribably terrifying devouring force erupted and swept across the heavens.
Bang! Bang!
Ancient Emperor Seal!
Yin Yang Convergence!
Under the terrifying clash, the ground within tens of thousands of li instantly split apart. Massive cracks thousands of zhang long spread across the earth like savage wounds, covering this vast region.
Enormous torrents of Dou Qi collided, accompanied by deep explosions.
The enormous vortex rippled violently.
"Haha, I am the sinner of the Tunling Clan.
"If that is the case, then even in death, I will drag you all down to hell with me."
An ancient, hoarse voice slowly rang out.
As the Tunling Clan Patriarch's hoarse voice faded, black flames suddenly filled the sky, while round objects resembling fetal eggs slowly descended.
Black flames coiled around the spheres, while faint blood-colored light seeped silently from the clouds of black fire and streaked into those eggs.
Bang! Bang!
As the blood-red light surged in, the densely packed black-flame eggs suddenly exploded. Instantly, shrill and miserable screams resounded through the sky.
Countless black-flame shadows poured down from the heavens like a torrential rain, then surged madly toward the mountain range below.
Seeing the dense mass of black-flame shadows swooping down from the sky, everyone in the mountain range turned pale.
They hurriedly circulated their Dou Qi, but just as it rose, black light flashed before their eyes. Many of them immediately felt a stabbing pain in their chests.
Looking down, they saw huge bloody holes already torn through their chests, blood and organs spraying out...
"Everyone, be careful! These things can devour human flesh and blood, even Dou Qi!"
As this strange army of black-flame creatures attacked, the entire mountain range fell into chaos. Fierce battles erupted everywhere, miserable screams rang out without end, and crimson blood dyed the earth red.
In midair, Xiao Xuan watched the battle swiftly descend into chaos, his expression incomparably grim.
With a sweep of his sleeve, terrifying Dou Qi burst forth and directly shook hundreds of black-flame creatures approaching him to death.
Then, with a grasp of his hand, he seized a black-flame creature and examined it.
"Tunling Clan elders, self-destruct and destroy the space.
"We may perish, but we must leave behind seeds of the Tunling Clan bloodline!"
Hearing the Tunling Clan Patriarch's heart-wrenching roar, the bodies of many Tunling Clan experts in the sky trembled.
Sorrow and resolve flashed across their faces. Faced with the choice between their clan's destruction and sacrificing themselves to preserve its bloodline, they chose the latter without hesitation!
Seeing this, Hun Tiandi waved his hand and said softly, "Hmph, they actually want to self-destruct?
"Leave no survivors."
"Yes!"
Explode!
Bang...
As the experts of the various clans rushed in, the glow around a Tunling Clan elder's body suddenly blazed to its brightest. Then, an extremely violent energy wildly exploded in the sky.
Some experts from the various clans who bore the brunt of it were immediately caught in the blast, coughing up blood as they were sent flying back.
After the first Tunling Clan expert self-destructed, it was as though the blood of the many Tunling Clan members had been ignited. The light within many experts' bodies flared brilliantly, and they shot across the sky like meteors before self-destructing at the same spot.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the terrifying storm of destruction razed the entire mountain range to the ground. Abyssal fissures thousands of zhang deep spread outward like a spiderweb.
