บท 187: Chapter 186: Attack on the Yan Clan!
The sound of several loud booms echoed as the lids of the four black coffins flew off suddenly. With dark clouds rolling, four skeleton-like, emaciated figures slowly stepped out from inside.
Four vast and terrifying auras swiftly spread out!
"After sleeping for a thousand years, has the final moment finally arrived?" An aged voice came from the mouth of one of the gray-faced, emaciated elders.
"Ancestor!"
Upon seeing the four figures appear, several members of the Hun Clan's army stepped forward and respectfully bowed to them.
"Hun Sheng Tian, how do you feel now?" Void Devouring Flame approached the four, standing with hands behind his back, and asked in a calm tone.
Seeing the Void Devouring Flame and sensing the immense aura within him, the four figures of Hun Sheng Tian, who were filled with lifeless eyes, revealed a trace of astonishment and respectfully said, "Congratulations to Lord Void for stepping into the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. Our vitality is enough to sustain us through a big battle!"
Hearing their response, Void Devouring Flame nodded and said indifferently, "This time, we are launching a blitz attack on the Yan Clan. Lay down the Realm of Death within me first. As soon as I engulf the Yan Realm entirely, initiate the formation immediately to give them no chance to react. Sweep them away with thunderous force."
"Yan Clan?" Hearing Void Devouring Flame's words, they exchanged a surprised glance, not expecting that they would first target the Yan Clan!
However, the four did not object and nodded respectfully to Void Devouring Flame.
At this moment, Yun Yi suddenly stepped forward and asked, "The Yan Clan surely has a protective clan formation. Who will block it when the time comes?"
When the Yao Clan was annihilated, they relied on their protective clan formation to summon the remnant soul of the Yao Emperor, which was enough to contend with a Nine-Star Dou Sheng. The Yan Clan's protective formation would only be stronger. By then, Void Devouring Flame would certainly need to maintain the stability of the space and also deal with the Split Devouring Clan. On their side, there would be no equivalent force.
"Leave that to me!" At this moment, a calm voice came from the Void Space. A figure of Hun Tiandi, with a serene expression, walked in slowly.
"Clan Leader!"
Seeing Hun Tiandi, Yun Yi was a bit surprised, but still followed everyone in bowing respectfully.
Indeed, agreeing to attack the Yan Clan first, Hun Tiandi could not be without full preparation.
"Is the matter resolved?" Seeing Hun Tiandi, Void Devouring Flame was not surprised and softly asked while looking at him.
"Gu Yuan is still the same. He is now wary of every move in our Hun Realm. But to avoid exposing flaws, this soul clone of mine needs to return quickly!"
Hun Tiandi nodded and said solemnly. Without his Emperor-level soul clone assisting, Void Devouring Flame would not be able to silently devour the Yan Realm without being noticed by the outside world.
Moreover, it was because he had divided his soul clone that made Gu Yuan perceive his strength as somewhat strong on the outside but weak in the core, creating an illusion of being not fully recovered from a severe injury.
In fact, if Gu Yuan had really followed into the Hun Realm at that time, he would have been in danger, and the plan would be ruined.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan did not disappoint him after all.
"Then let's begin!" Nodding, Void Devouring Flame spoke solemnly.
His eyes suddenly became fiery. Agreeing with Yun Yi's opinion was also beneficial to him. The Yan Clan possessed many different flames and a large number of descendants. Among the seven clans, the descendants of the Yan Clan were of the greatest help to him. This time he could definitely rely on the Yan Clan descendants, plus the accumulation of the Soul Hall for a thousand years, to step into the Emperor's soul.
Thinking of this, Void Devouring Flame's gaze at Yun Yi became deep. By then, he would no longer be subject to the bloodline of the Devouring Spirit Clan within him.
Yun Yi, this 'little flame,' would be at his disposal!
Yan Realm.
In a grand hall, a middle-aged man sat at the head seat. He wore a crimson robe, looking about forty years old, with a rough appearance.
His two crimson eyebrows looked like burning flames, and his eyes were entirely red, appearing as if embedded with two flaming gemstones. Just a glance would make the air seem to heat up.
The middle-aged man appeared like a mass of burning flame, seemingly peaceful on the surface, but within the depths of his flames was an intense heat capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas.
"Clan Leader, Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi have already clashed with the geniuses of various clans. It seems they've encountered an interesting fellow who can fuse several different flames into one."
At this moment, an amused voice came from beside Yan Jin. A gorgeous woman in a red dress, with enchanting charm, looked at Yan Jin with a playful smile.
The woman had a charming smile and an alluring, mature appearance. She exuded a strange wave of energy that seemed to have the power to make people's minds wander.
The woman was the second strongest in the Yan Clan, the Fire Fairy. She was also a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, a powerhouse on par with the four Devil Saints of the Hun Clan and the three Immortals of the Gu Clan.
Upon hearing Fire Fairy's words, a spark of interest lit up in Yan Jin's eyes. As someone who had fused two powerful flames, he understood the difficulty of such a task. Moreover, it seemed that Huo Xuan and company had met someone of the same age.
Moreover, someone who could fuse different flames at the Dou Zong stage was simply incredible.
"A fusion of different flames? Whose disciple is he?" Yan Jin asked softly, looking at Fire Fairy.
"It's said he's not a disciple of any clan but a young warrior named Xiao Yan. He holds four different flames: Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, Storm Dragon Flame, Xuan Huang Flame, and Turtle Spirit Earth Flame. Although none of them are highly ranked flames, he managed to fuse four flames, which is quite unbelievable!" Fire Fairy's eyes still carried disbelief as she spoke.
"Xiao?" Yan Jin was more intrigued by the surname 'Xiao.'
"It shouldn't be someone from the Xiao Clan. Even if there were any descendants left, their abandoned bloodline shouldn't produce any geniuses!" Fire Fairy understood Yan Jin's implication and gently shook her head, speaking softly.
"Still, recently, Jiang Yun and Yun Yi have made quite a commotion, and they don't have any special bloodlines!" Yan Jin remarked, shaking his head slowly while looking at Fire Fairy.
"This..." Hearing Yan Jin's words, Fire Fairy became momentarily speechless. Indeed, based on current intelligence, neither of them had any special bloodline, yet their achievements were extraordinarily remarkable.
Their rapid rise in power surpassed everyone's expectations.
"Who goes there—"
Suddenly, a strange flame flickered in Yan Jin's crimson eyes, his gaze becoming sharp as he gave a stern shout.
"Who—" Noticing this, Fire Fairy immediately stood up. A terrifying aura fluctuated from her, and her once charming eyes turned exceptionally sharp. Her powerful soul force spread out around her.
"Yan Clan, be on guard!!!"
Yan Jin stood up and let out a loud roar. Instantly, numerous streaks of light shot out from the ground and mountains within the Yan Realm. Each figure bore at least the aura of a Dou Sheng, causing the energies of heaven and earth to stir violently.
The streaks of light quickly gathered behind Yan Jin, who gravely watched the empty space afar.
"Clan Leader, what's going on?"
Behind Yan Jin, an elder dressed in red robes, exuding the aura of a Six-Star Dou Sheng, asked.
"They have come." Yan Jin didn't answer the elder's question but continued to stare at the distant sky. Instead, Fire Fairy beside him whispered gravely.
"Boom—"
At this moment, distant thunderous booms rang out, and the sky darkened suddenly as if a shadow loomed over it.
Countless black lights flickered in the distant horizon, accompanied by the piercing screams of countless tortured souls.
"Swish swish!"
As the black lights flickered in the distance, everyone suddenly saw, with a sense of horror, infinite black flames permeating from the void, spreading to cover the entire sky, plunging the world into darkness.
"What is this?" An elder of the Yan Clan asked in shock, trembling as he gazed at the scene.
"Void Devouring Flame!" A hint of dread flashed in Yan Jin's eyes as he solemnly uttered each word.
"What—, Void Devouring Flame!" Hearing Yan Jin's words, everyone's hearts sank, a strong sense of impending doom enveloping their minds.
One elder of the Yan Clan, though shocked, quickly retrieved a scroll and tore it open. A wave of spatial energy swiftly spread out.
However, just as the spatial energy was about to form a portal, it was seemingly disturbed by some unseen force and dissipated instantly.
Seeing this, hearts turned cold, and a sense of helpless bewilderment overtook them. What was happening?
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Yan Jin snorted coldly. The terrifying aura of an Eight-Star Dou Sheng shot through the skies, causing the space itself to groan under pressure.
With a powerful strike aiming to tear open a spatial passage, he launched his attack towards the void.
"Hehe, Yan Jin, we haven't seen each other in a thousand years. You are still so brutal!"
As Yan Jin's attack was about to hit the spatial void, a light laughter echoed in everyone's ears, making their hearts grow cold.
The next moment, Hun Tiandi's figure silently appeared before Yan Jin's attack, dissipating it with a casual wave of his sleeve.
"Hun Tiandi!"
Seeing the person, Yan Jin's eyes showed no surprise, but his expression turned unprecedentedly serious.
"Hun Tiandi, what are you doing in my Yan Realm?" Even though he already had suspicions, Yan Jin couldn't help but ask.
"Why pretend to be ignorant? Yan Jin." Hun Tiandi chuckled lightly, shaking his head. With his hands behind his back, he looked down at everyone in the Yan Clan and said something that chilled them to the bone.
"Since you asked, Yan Jin, I'll tell you. The Yan Clan is doomed."
"Woo—"
As Hun Tiandi spoke, dense black fog billowed in the distant sky, and a terrifying aura surged forth.
Hun Clan's four Devil Saints and many other strong members appeared, their faces cruelly smiling at the Yan Clan.
Yan Jin's gaze darkened as he stared at the Hun Clan's army and the boundless black flames enveloping the sky. His expression became extremely grim.
"All members of the Yan Clan, heed my command — Blazing Sky Formation!"
Upon Yan Jin's command, the numerous warriors of the Yan Clan swiftly formed up, terrifying columns of Dou Qi surging upwards.
"Hun Tiandi, if you want to annihilate my Yan Clan, you'll have to show your true power!" Yan Jin's gaze was cold as he stared at the Hun Clan's army. With a shout, towering flames surged forth, seeming to burn the heavens and earth, transforming into a vast sea of fire, sweeping towards the Hun Clan.
"Soul Burial Art!"
Seeing this, Hun Tiandi laughed lightly and waved his sleeve.
From the cloud of black mist behind him came the clinking sound of chains. Then, the sound of something tearing through the void echoed, and countless black chains shot out from the mist, quickly weaving into a net in the sky.
On the black net, mist surged, transforming into countless ghastly faces appearing and letting out harrowing screams.
"Boom boom boom!"
As the net formed, the Yan Clan's attack collided with it, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently, with the ground splitting into deep, abyss-like cracks.
When the terrifying storm dissipated, the black net remained intact, but the sea of flames from the Yan Clan had been extinguished. The Hun Clan's terrifying power was now fully displayed.
Seeing this, a resolute gleam flashed in Yan Jin's eyes, and with a deep breath, he shouted once more, "All members of the Yan Clan, activate the clan protection formation!"
At Yan Jin's command, all the Yan Clan members' hearts skipped a beat. For the first time since ancient times, the Yan Clan's protective formation was being activated, showing the extreme peril they faced.
Seeing this, Hun Tiandi looked amusedly at the actions of the Yan Clan.
One by one, the elders of the Yan Clan swiftly cast light pillars into the mountains. Instantly, the mountains trembled, and massive light pillars broke through, weaving a gigantic, strange array in the sky.
Simultaneously, each member of the Yan Clan channeled their inner flames into an endless stream of energy, pouring into the grand array.
"Swish swish swish!"
Instantly, the array shone brightly, a terrifying pressure like a dragon that had slumbered for thousands of years, quietly awakening.
As this pressure emerged, the entire Yan Realm trembled violently. Vast energies continuously gathered towards the array.
"Well, it does have some tricks. It could indeed be troublesome for Void to attack alone!" Outside the array, Hun Tiandi watched the forming array with a smile. The pressure from the array was at the level between the early to mid Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
Without his caution, unexpected things could have happened.
"Indeed, it does have some skill. Coupled with this Fire Emperor who reached Dou Emperor by means of fire, I alone would lack strength!" Beside Hun Tiandi, a blob of black flames slowly wriggled, eventually forming the shape of the Void Devouring Flame.
"All flames converge, the ancestor returns!"
At this moment, Yan Jin's hands flew in an intricate pattern, his face distorted with rage, and he let out a fierce shout.
"Boom boom—"
With his shout, a vortex appeared at the center of the array. Endless flames surged from it. At the same time, an ancient aura slowly emanated from the vortex.
Finally, a ghostly elder, clad in a red robe covered with flame patterns, slowly appeared in the world.
"Buzz!"
When the ghostly elder appeared, all Yan Clan members present felt their souls trembling violently. A pressure originating from their bloodline made countless figures in the mountains fall to their knees.
"Ancestor!"
Led by Yan Jin, many Yan Clan elders knelt in the sky, their tear-filled eyes gazing at the ghostly figure with fervent reverence.
"Remnant soul of the Yan Emperor..."
Hun Tiandi and Void Devouring Flame's faces turned grim as they fixed their gazes on the ghostly figure. A Dou Emperor figure, no matter how many years had passed since their death, demanded their solemn respect.
"Ancestor, protect our Yan Clan!" Kneeling in the sky, Yan Jin shouted respectfully.
"Yan Clan..."
From the array, the remnant soul of the Yan Emperor uttered a low murmur. The passing years had eroded much of his memory, making him increasingly muddled. But he still remembered the clan he founded, his ancient gaze sweeping over the people below, eventually whispering to himself.
"Could it be that they have come to the brink of annihilation?"
Hearing the Yan Emperor's words, shame appeared on the faces of Yan Jin and the others. It was their incompetence that they had to disturb the remnant soul of their ancestor for rescue.
Everyone could say nothing in self-defense, only lowering their heads even more.
"It turns out there are such strong opponents; no wonder the descendants have fallen to this state!"
The Yan Emperor didn't converse with the Yan Clan members any longer. He slowly raised his head and looked at Hun Tiandi in the distance. For the first time, a hint of astonishment appeared in his cloudy eyes. Even though Hun Tiandi was just a soul clone, he instantly saw through the core of Hun Tiandi, a top powerhouse just a step away from becoming a Dou Emperor, and...
"It's the Void Devouring Flame, such distant memories indeed!"
"A remnant soul, muddled and confused, the once mighty Yan Emperor now reduced to such a state. Better for me to end it, and let me lead you to see the splendor of the Dou Emperor realm once again!" In the sky, Void Devouring Flame looked at the remnant soul of Yan Emperor, smiled coldly, and said in a calm tone.
"Stop wasting words, my time is short!"
Looking coldly at the remnant soul of Yan Emperor, Hun Tiandi raised his palm. A black hole formed in his hand, rapidly expanding to a massive size, encompassing the heavens and earth.
Staring at the black hole, it was clear that if anyone were caught in it, their soul would be reduced to nothingness in an instant.
