In a mountain valley.
The valley is surrounded by dense forests and ancient trees.
Airtight.
Only a few specks of starlight filtered through the branches and leaves, falling to the ground and forming streaks of light.
It can be said to be an excellent hiding place.
And in this mountain hollow, there were four gaunt men hidden beneath black robes.
The exposed palms were frighteningly white.
He looked like a dead corpse.
Four men in black robes sat cross-legged on the spot, silent, as if waiting for something.
And at that very moment...
The four men in black robes simultaneously opened their eyes and looked ahead.
Wherever the eye could see, space began to distort.
Immediately afterwards, a man with a weakened aura appeared disheveled from the space.
He knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
However, these beads of sweat were tinged with a hint of crimson.
Clearly, after using the spatial escape talisman to escape from Xiao Hei, Pan Xie's physical body endured immense spatial pressure!
"So disheveled?" One of the men in black robes stood up, his eyes filled with contempt. He looked down at Pan Xie and sneered, "Who beat you up like this, that you even had to use the teleportation talisman I gave you?"
Pan Xie's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth, saying, " Qiu Genyin, when you faced that monster, you weren't able to fight back either, were you?"
The four men in black robes here are from the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall!
Qiu Genyin's expression hardened slightly.
It seems Pan Xie encountered Xiao Hei ahead of time.
"That person's strength has increased again... and now he has obtained another inheritance." Pan Xie said with a solemn expression, "We need to plan how to deal with this person."
Qiu Genyin and said, "Putting him aside for now, have you collected enough souls in the Avici Purgatory?"
"Is that enough to awaken the ancestors of your Avici Purgatory?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Xie angrily said, "If absorbing the souls of Su Muyou and the others is enough, then that will be sufficient."
It begins with the Ten Thousand Domains Grand Competition.
The Avici Purgatory is not only openly present, but it has also secretly extracted the souls of countless cultivators.
At that time, it was meant to be handed over to the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall.
The people of the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall used Secret Method to raise the upper limit of the soul's endurance in the Severed Soul City.
This will allow more cultivators to enter the Severed Soul City!
At the same time, it also makes it easier for the Avici Purgatory to carry more divine souls.
Qiu Genyin nodded and said, "That doesn't matter. There will be plenty of opportunities to extract souls. We can go to the outer cities and absorb the souls that are suppressed by the stone pillars."
"That should awaken your ancestors from the Avici Purgatory."
"The prerequisite now is to obtain a legacy, only then can one enter the heart of Severed Soul City."
Pan Xie's face turned ugly.
He knew that Qiu Genyin's words were a taunt.
"It's just a matter of inheritance; we can just find another one."
"However, I have also found a suitable candidate for the ancestor's physical body."
Qiu Genyin sneered, " Xiao Hei, isn't it?"
Pan Xie nodded and sneered, "This person's physical body is extremely powerful, and he seems to possess an extremely strong bloodline power. I'm sure the Ancestor will be satisfied with this body."
"Then can you defeat him?"
Pan Xie grinned maliciously. "We'll just set a trap for him. There are many deadly places in this Severed Soul City; we'll lure him in and kill him."
"Hmph, do it first and then talk." Qiu Genyin waved his hand and said, "Alright, hurry up and get the inheritance. Time is running out, and many people have already received it."
"You don't need to remind me, just take care of your own business."
Pan Xie snorted coldly, then sat down cross-legged to begin recovering from his injuries.
Seeing Qiu Genyin ignored him and looked up at the sky.
It's just a Avici Purgatory.
If it weren't for the fact that the patriarch of the Avici Purgatory possessed some skill...
Why should our Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall cooperate with you?
On the other side.
The inheritance is passed down within the cave abode.
Qu Sheng looked at Xiao Hei and said respectfully, " Devil Master, I can't give you much, only this Earth Core Black Flame."
Having said that, Qu Sheng reached out his hand, which had already turned into withered bones.
A black flame appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.
The moment the black flames appeared, the surrounding space began to distort and tremble!
Meanwhile, red flames roared fiercely on the cave abode walls outside!
The black fire on the ground also swayed from side to side and began to erupt!
Underground magma unleashed a terrifying storm!
It swept upwards, transforming into barriers of magma!
Su Muyou, watching from the outside, was shocked by what she saw.
She had to use all her strength to block this fiery power.
Even so, I could feel the Spiritual Qi in my body being burned intensely!
The moment Qu Sheng took out the Earth Core Black Flame.
The stone pillars also emitted streaks of starlight.
The suppressive force is increasing dramatically!
Without the suppression of the stone pillars.
It's likely that from the moment Qu Sheng took out that Earth Core Black Flame...
Su Muyou would have been engulfed by the raging flames long ago.
Burned to ashes!
This cave abode will also cease to exist!
Qu Sheng explained, " The Earth Core Black Flame is the most precious treasure of my Black Flame Devil Lion Race. Now, I entrust it to you, Devil Master, hoping that you can reclaim the Devil Domain, slay those rebels, and avenge us."
Xiao Hei nodded seriously and took it.
The flame instantly engulfed Xiao Hei's entire body!
Xiao Hei's expression changed slightly.
Qu Sheng immediately said, " Devil Master, do not resist!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei lowered its guard.
He let the black flame spread all over his body.
The pain of being burned alive.
It's spread throughout all the nerves in the entire body!
Moreover, the Earth Core Black Flame is no ordinary flame.
The burning pain was beyond imagination!
But how could Xiao Hei, who had undergone the tempering of the Nirvana Fire, possibly give up?
This moment.
A line quietly appeared on the skin.
Within the patterns, endless flames flowed!
Eternal Devil Body!
The moment the lines appeared.
It was continuously absorbing the power from the Earth Core Black Flame.
Within the patterns, the crimson flames began to be replaced by wisps of black flames.
It merges with the crimson flames.
Xiao Hei could clearly sense it.
Physical strength is constantly increasing!
The muscles begin to swell.
If a punch were to be thrown at this moment, the very space would shatter!
Seeing this, Qu Sheng was slightly surprised.
At the same time, I also have some doubts.
This Body Refining Cultivation Method has never been seen used by the Devil Master.
How many battles did these Eight Great Generals go through alongside the Devil Master?
They were well aware of the Devil Master's methods.
Inside the cave abode, time passed in an unknown amount of time.
Su Muyou, standing outside, appeared pale.
They were fighting off the black subterranean fire with all their might, and now they had reached their limit.
And at that very moment...
The subterranean fire suddenly disappeared.
The surrounding flames and lava ceased their violent eruption!
Su Muyou was slightly taken aback.
Looking up at the steps, the barrier disappeared, and Xiao Hei's body appeared.
The skeleton, just as it had been then, sat upon the throne.
There was no sign of life.
