Chapter 293: On the Brink of Annihilation!
At this moment, everyone in the Ling Clan realized that Hun Huzi had been holding back earlier. The clan elders, who were all Dou Saint experts, began discussing among themselves.
Even so, the clan leader, Ling Yuan, still had a higher cultivation level than him.
On the mountaintop, Ling Lu and her husband Ling Qingshan watched the tense scene in the sky with grave expressions. The once peaceful and serene Ling Realm was now shrouded in gloom, with howling winds and rolling dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending disaster.
"This situation seems dire," her delicate hands tightly clutched her husband's sleeve, a flicker of unease flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry, with the clan leader here, things shouldn't be too serious," he gently patted her hand in comfort, though a deep worry lingered in his own eyes.
Indeed! Since Hun Huzi dared to come, it couldn't be that simple.
Although it seemed the clan leader was holding the line, there was something suspiciously eerie about him. Their cultivation levels were very close, with the clan leader's just slightly higher.
'If Hun Huzi was the only one here, they should be able to handle it. But what if there were others besides him?' Ling Qingshan's fist clenched tightly at the thought.
In the sky, Ling Yuan, stood poised mid-air. Her white robe billowed in the wind as her wise eyes locked onto him.
"You come to our Ling Realm to cause trouble. What is your intent?"
"Do you think we are afraid of you?" Ling Yuan's voice was as sharp as ice.
Though Hun Huzi had displayed the power of an early-stage Seven-Star Dou Saint, she did not show too much alarm. As the clan leader, she maintained her composure in critical moments. If she lost her cool, the entire clan could collapse in an instant.
Her role now was to stay steady.
With her question, the entire Ling Realm fell silent. Countless clan members looked up at the sky, staring at the confrontation between Hun Huzi and Ling Yuan.
Indeed, he must have a purpose for coming here.
"Hehe, I mean no harm in coming here," he said, surveying the area with a sinister smile. "I simply want to borrow your ancient God jade."
Hovering in the air, his black robe fluttered without wind, and a chilling aura spread from him.
This simple statement was like a bomb, instantly detonating in the Ling Realm. Everyone's faces changed dramatically.
Hehe! No harm?
What nonsense!
Who in the world didn't know what the Tou She Ancient God Jade was? It was the key to the Ancient God's treasury, said to contain a treasure capable of advancing one to Dou God.
Long ago, the jade had been fought over by the entire continent, and eventually, it was split into eight pieces, each taken by one of the eight ancient clans for safekeeping. Now, it was considered a sacred treasure by the ancient clans, guarded with utmost care- so much so that even ordinary elders rarely laid eyes on it.
Such a treasure couldn't be simply "borrowed".
"Do you realize what you're saying?" Ling Yuan's eyes flashed coldly, her voice like frozen ice.
"Hehe, Clan Leader, the Tou She Ancient God Jade is an ominous object. Keeping it in the Ling Realm will only bring disaster to you. If you hand it over to me, perhaps it will bring you more peace," he responded with a mocking smile, clearly not taking her seriously.
His meaning was obvious: the Ling clan was too weak to keep the ancient jade. If they gave it up, it might save them.
They were one of the eight ancient clans, enduring such humiliation was unbearable.
Hun Huzi's words caused an uproar throughout the Ling Realm, many clan members exchanged furious looks.
How arrogant!
Their clan wasn't made up of cowards!
"It seems you need to be taught a lesson today!" Ling Yuan could no longer suppress the rage building inside her. Her aura exploded outward. Her clan was insulted to its core. As the leader, if she did not act, how could they survive on this continent in the future?
(TL/n: You're not surviving if you keep hoarding the jade either..)
Before her words had even finished, she shot towards Hun Huzi like an arrow released from its bow. Her graceful figure cut through the air, and in an instant, she appeared in front of him.
"Boom!"
Her delicate hand formed into a claw and struck down towards him. Though it appeared gentle, it contained terrifying power, enough to tear through space itself.
He sneered and narrowly dodged the deadly blow. The two clashed fiercely in mid-air, each exchange shaking the heavens and causing gusts of wind to howl.
However, to her surprise, his strength was even more formidable than she had anticipated. While she held the upper hand, she couldn't defeat him quickly.
Seeing that the fight wouldn't end quickly, the other Dou Saint experts could no longer sit idly by.
"Attack together!"
With the command given, several figures soared into the air, rushing to surround Hun Huzi.
The sky erupted in brilliant flashes of light, energy clashing violently in all directions, creating a spectacular scene.
Under the combined assault of the ling clan's strong fighters, he finally began to show signs of defeat. His figure grew increasingly battered, his robes torn, and even blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Nihility should be succeeding by now!" He suddenly let out a deranged laugh, catching everyone off guard.
That eerie, triumphant laughter sent chills down the spines of all who heard it.
Just then, agonized screams filled the air from the distance, filled with despair and terror.
"What's happening?"
The elders' faces darkened as they recognized the voices- those screams belonged to their fellow clan members!
Before they could react, a vast darkness swept over the distant sky. It was an ominous blackness, seeming to devour all light.
"Whoosh!"
Endless black flames seeped from the void, surging like a tidal wave. In an instant, the entire sky was engulfed by the terrifying black fire, plunging the world into darkness.
"What is this?"
Ling Yuan's composed face finally showed panic. Her wise eyes, usually calm and clear, were now filled with shock and confusion.
"After today, there will be no more Ling Clan in this world!" Hun Huzi's twisted smile grew wider as he looked at the scene before him.
