[Bloodline Secret Art—Devouring Spirit]
When Zhu Jin saw this inexplicably acquired bloodline secret art, he knew something was wrong.
"Black-Yellow Flame did evolve my bloodline power, but... it seems to have gone crooked." Zhu Jin had sensed something off from the start. Although he did not possess an ancient secret art like Medusa's in the original story, swallowing a Heavenly Flame should have caused some kind of change, right?

Nihility Devouring Flame had devoured the king of the Tunling Clan and gained their power, allowing it to extract Dou Emperor Bloodlines by devouring disciples of the Dou God Clans, thereby sustaining the Soul Clan's Dou Emperor Bloodline. Otherwise, the Soul Clan would have ceased to exist long ago, and none of the later events would have happened.
