Ancient Emperor Cave Abode Emerges

"How did you end up here?"

A deafening shout echoed through the air for a long time, its lingering sound lingering.

The Soul Emperor stared blankly at the familiar figure a hundred feet in front of him, his face fluctuating between red and blue. Behind him, the Void Flame Devouring appeared calm, but the black flames within it throbbed violently, indicating that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

It's important to understand that from the moment the location of the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode was confirmed, the Soul Emperor decisively chose to mobilize all his forces, drawing all the Soul Clan's power directly to the Black-Corner Region. He intended to seize this opportunity to turn the tide, until...

Upon seeing Xiao Han, Gu Yuan, and the others drinking tea at Canaan Institute, the Soul Emperor's heart skipped a beat. He realized that news of the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode had leaked out at some point, and he probably couldn't go there easily today. Otherwise, not only would these guys on the other side disagree, but the Soul Clan also couldn't afford to have their thousand-year plan ruined in an instant.

Now, the Soul Clan and the Soul Emperor have only one choice—to force a breakthrough!

"Soul Emperor, let's stick to the old rules and exchange a few blows!" Gu Yuan had no intention of playing along with the Soul Emperor. At this point, either the Soul Clan or the Allied Forces had to die; there was no other option!

"In that case, I'll leave that Void Flame Devouring to me." Xiao Han clenched his fist, turned his gaze to Void Flame Devouring, and looked completely relaxed.

"Hehe~"

"The Ice Saint has me cornered this time!"

Void Flame Devouring chuckled darkly, his calm tone laced with intense anger. Clearly, Xiao Han's utter disregard for him had thoroughly enraged him.

A month ago, Void Flame Devouring might have been somewhat wary of Xiao Han, but that wariness vanished the moment he broke through to the Emperor Realm Soul.

Although the Void Flame Devouring's cultivation is slightly inferior to Xiao Han's, as the second-ranked Exotic Fire on the Strange Fire Ranking, the Void Flame Devouring has full confidence in its combat power. The outcome is still uncertain!

The only reason he can still hold back from taking action now is that the Soul Emperor is still standing there in a daze and hasn't given the order yet.

Then, the Soul Emperor came to his senses and gave a subtle Earth Eye to the Void Flame Devouring. The latter was taken aback at first, and then nodded.

"Gu Yuan, since you want to have a contest with me, this clan leader will grant your wish this time."

The Soul Emperor struck first, his sleeves billowing out as a towering wave of blood surged behind him, the aura of blood and ominousness contrasting sharply with his refined and gentle appearance.

Faced with the Soul Emperor's attack, Gu Yuan's expression changed, becoming slightly more serious. He let out a cold snort, his hand emerging from his sleeve, and incomparably violent Dou Qi gathered in the sky, and then...

"Go!"

With a low shout, a gigantic, pitch-black hand, thousands of feet long, rushed towards the crimson tide.

"Bang!"

After a brief standoff, the blood wave engulfed the Giant Palm, and the now diluted wave swept towards Gu Yuan again. The latter remained expressionless and casually shot out a streak of Dou Qi Stream, which wiped out the remaining attacks.

However, despite his seemingly calm and collected demeanor, Gu Yuan was startled. He had actually been at a disadvantage in the previous contest. When the two made contact, he vaguely felt that some of the Dou Qi in the Giant Palm was being silently absorbed.

Gu Yuan naturally knew where this entirely new method came from, and sighed inwardly, "If only the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame were still around."

The power of the Extraterrestrial Evil race is significantly more restrained than the Dou Qi of the Fierce Qi Continent. To resist or even suppress this power, the best choice, besides top-tier Cultivation Techniques and Combat Skills, should be an Exotic Fire and Mysterious Object like the Strange Fire, which contains a trace of the original power of the Fierce Qi Continent.

Unfortunately, the Gu Clan's inherited Exotic Fire, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, had already been taken into the Demon Fire Space by Xun Er. Gu Yuan could only swallow this bitter pill. At the same time, he made up his mind that he must collect more Exotic Fire and Mysterious Object of heaven and earth afterward, so that even if their power was a little weaker, he would not suffer a loss in such a place.

While Gu Yuan was battling the Soul Emperor, the others weren't idle either. "Attack!"

Xiao Han aimed at the target and raised his hand, Frost Arrow imbued with chilling Cold Qi, shooting them towards the Void Flame Devouring and drawing rows of bright white lines in the space along their path.

The latter glanced disdainfully at Jian Shi, who was powerful enough to severely injure Seven Star Dou Sheng, and casually summoned a black flame dragon. With a roar, it swallowed Xiao Han with undiminished momentum.

"Ice Hell Prison!" Xiao Han clenched his fist slightly at the Black Dragon, and an ice cage formed from condensed Mysterious Ice appeared out of thin air, enveloping the Black Dragon. Then, the cage and the Black Dragon shattered into nothingness.

The spear in his hand solidified, his eyes fixed on the Void Flame Devouring charging towards him. Sensing the opponent's fearless aura, he couldn't help but wonder, this person is not a loyal follower of the Soul Clan!

Gu Yuan and Xiao Han had seen the exchange of glances between Soul Emperor and Void Flame Devouring, but they didn't understand its deeper meaning. However, having made full preparations, they were not afraid of any schemes or tricks.

"Spear Lock, Dark Sun!"

He immediately unleashed his signature Dou Techniques, showing he Void Flame Devouring Xiao Han quite seriously. In an instant, he appeared behind the Void Flame Devouring, the black vortex at the tip of his spear engulfing the latter.

"Hmph, daring to compete with me in devouring power, how utterly presumptuous!"

Sensing the familiar power within the black vortex, Void Flame Devouring scoffed. Then, with a thought, countless black vortexes appeared around him, constantly merging, devouring, and expanding, pressing towards Xiao Han.

"Destruction!"

His expression remained unchanged, but his moves changed instantly. He brandished his spear, his Dou Qi surging wildly and pouring into the spear in his hand. Centered on Xiao Han, an enormous wave of energy erupted instantly, shattering the surrounding space. The vortex also vanished without a trace.

"Frost Mirror Image!"

The familiar whisper made Void Flame Devouring's expression turn cold, and pitch-black flames suddenly enveloped his entire body, forming a thick layer of armor.

The moment the stomach armor solidified, Void Flame Devouring felt a giant hammer slam into its back, causing it to stagger. Just as it was about to adjust its posture, it looked up and saw a cold glint rushing towards its face.

"Damn it." He cursed under his breath, and instantly transformed into countless Black Flame that scattered in all directions, dodging a devastating attack.

"Well!"

The Void Flame Devouring reappeared a thousand feet in front of Xiao Han, grunted a few times, and looked at the two white-clad figures in front of him with lingering regret. As it turned out, he had underestimated their combat power.

If it weren't for the enormous cost of forcibly etherealizing himself and escaping, he would probably be lying on the ground by now.

"Two!"

Looking at the figure before him, whose reality was indistinguishable from the illusion, Void Flame Devouring felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Xiao Han, who was in the distance, noticed that Void Flame Devouring took a deep breath and thought that the former was about to fight to the death. He slightly raised his spirits, and his originally restrained Dou Qi was no longer concealed, but burst out unrestrainedly.

Then...

"Aren't you going to make a move!"

The shout of the Void Flame Devouring caught Xiao Han somewhat off guard, but after sensing the intense mental impact Xiao Han brought, he was extremely glad that he had not chosen to fight to the death with the other party.

Upon hearing Void Flame Devouring's plea for help, Soul Emperor, who had been having a great time exchanging blows with Gu Yuan, became slightly dissatisfied. For the first time in many years, he had gained the upper hand, but a bunch of useless teammates had dragged him down.

But the Soul Emperor had no other thoughts. Since the Soul Clan was at a disadvantage, summoning the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode was the most practical option.

With this in mind, the Soul Emperor immediately took out the Ancient Jade and sent a summons to the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode...

"Hahaha, after ten thousand years, I, the Emperor, am finally about to be free!"

Under the Soul Emperor's anticipation, someone's unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
