474: Void Devouring Flame is obtained

Void Swallowing Flame found himself trapped, unable to move.

There seemed to be an invisible restraint on him, and the energy within his body was continuously draining.

“Lin Xiu, let’s talk!”

“There’s still room for reconciliation, Lin Xiu!”

Void Swallowing Flame’s tone was frantic.

However.

His cries received no response.

Dark clouds, seemingly from nowhere, gathered, with golden lightning surging within them.

Torrential lightning snakes continuously struck Lin Xiu.

“With my physique nearing Perfection, the damage from the Nine Profound Golden Lightning can now be largely ignored.”

Lin Xiu continued to push, giving Void Swallowing Flame no chance to struggle.

He estimated that after this operation, with Void Swallowing Flame and the energy from the Void Thunder Pool as support, he could attempt to Breakthrough to Dou Di.

“Dou Di… I can’t believe this day has finally come.”

Even with Lin Xiu’s composure, a ripple of emotion stirred within him; Dou Di was the ultimate symbol of strength in this world.

It was also the lifelong dream of countless Fighters.

In the distance, roars continued.

A figure could vaguely be seen within the encirclement, disheveled and covered in blood.

That person was none other than Soul Emperor!

“Soul Emperor, your Soul Clan’s fate is sealed, why don’t you surrender quickly!”

Gu Yuan shouted sternly.

Soul Emperor’s eyes were bloodshot, with blood flowing from his eye sockets, leaving two terrifying bloodstains on his face.

His robes were torn, and his aura fluctuated erratically.

“No! It’s not real! This absolutely isn’t real! How could I possibly lose?! You don’t understand how long I’ve prepared for this day, do you? One thousand one hundred and thirteen years! Over a thousand years!”

A look of madness appeared in Soul Emperor’s eyes.

“He’s not in his right mind; there’s no need to waste words with him, just finish him off quickly.”

Zhu Kun frowned.

Xiao Xuan replied, “Senior is right, only with Soul Emperor’s death can we rest assured.”

No sooner had he spoken than a roar suddenly came from another location.

A Soul Clan Elder had self-destructed!

The battle there eased slightly due to the violent energy.

The Soul Clan’s Four Demon Saints and Four Saints took the opportunity to move closer to Soul Emperor.

“Clan Chief, hurry and leave!”

“Clan Chief, you cannot die here; as long as you live, the Soul Clan will not be extinguished!”

“We will cover your retreat, Clan Chief!”

The Soul Clan members urged him one after another.

Among them, the Soul Clan’s Four Demon Saints moved towards Soul Emperor, attempting to awaken him and make him more conscious.

“Today, not a single one of you in the Soul Clan will escape!”

Xiao Xuan’s expression was icy as he moved to block them.

Suddenly.

A thousand-zhang dark black giant Gate of Dead Silence blocked Xiao Xuan’s path, and without any hesitation, it exploded completely.

A Gate of Dead Silence, which took hundreds of years to condense, had just violently exploded!

A massive surge of death Qi emerged from the explosion, spreading in all directions.

Xiao Xuan had retreated before the explosion and was not harmed.

At this moment, another roar sounded.

Another Gate of Dead Silence exploded, forcing Gu Yuan’s figure out from a certain spot.

“There are only four Gates of Dead Silence in total; you can at most explode two more times!”

Gu Yuan was not anxious; the scales of victory were still on their side.

The Soul Clan members fought and retreated, heading out of the stone palace.

“Don’t worry about me; Void Swallowing Flame is no longer a threat to me. Just capture Soul Emperor.”

Lin Xiu noticed Zhu Kun and Xiao Xuan looking at him simultaneously and instantly understood what they meant.

Xiao Xuan nodded, “Then you be careful.”

He turned and chased after Soul Emperor.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan noticed that Zhu Kun hadn’t moved, “Senior?”

Zhu Kun’s gaze swept over several figures, “Hey, all of you, come over here! What are you doing stopping in the stone palace?!”

Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and several Elders of the Yan Clan and Lei Clan all looked towards Zhu Kun.

“I’m talking about you all. With a great enemy before us, and the Soul Clan not yet dealt with, are you trying to cause trouble?”

Zhu Kun’s expression was grim, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his purple-gold pupils showed a hint of threat.

“Sirs, Lin Xiu doesn’t need help there, so there’s no need to leave anyone in the stone palace. Lin Xiu has always spoken with discretion and wouldn’t exaggerate.”

Xiao Xuan’s eyes flashed, and after glancing at Zhu Kun’s expression, he seemed to understand something and followed with a persuasion.

Those people looked at their Clan Chief.

Yan Jin and Lei Ying exchanged glances, then moved closer to Zhu Kun and the others.

Soon, only Lin Xiu remained in the stone palace.

Time passed bit by bit.

The black flames gradually faded, revealing a special cluster of fire.

“The Origin of Void Swallowing Flame has appeared!”

Upon seeing it, Lin Xiu let out a breath and immediately formed hand Seals, performing the Flame Soul Separation Technique.

A phantom figure separated from the flame.

The figure’s face was distorted, its mouth constantly opening and closing, although no sound was emitted.

But Lin Xiu knew it was definitely not saying anything good.

Fortunately, he didn’t care; after unleashing a Yellow Spring Sky Wrath, he directly destroyed the figure.

“Void Swallowing Flame is also in hand. There’s also the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame on the pillar outside, which I can take along.”

After sealing the Origin of Void Swallowing Flame, Lin Xiu finally relaxed.

The energy contained within Void Swallowing Flame alone was enough to Breakthrough to a nine-star Dou Saint.

Not to mention the vast energy of the Void Thunder Pool.

It seemed that quickly raising his Realm to the Peak of a nine-star Dou Saint would not be a problem.

“The Legacy, however, is no longer needed.”

Lin Xiu stood in the Void Realm, tilting his head to look at the chest of the giant stone statue, where a Legacy left by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was hidden—a Source Emperor Qi.

Source Energy was scarce in this world; to Breakthrough to Dou Di, one had to rely on emperor pill and the Legacy.

“I, for one, don’t care for it.”

Shaking his head, Lin Xiu walked out of the stone palace.

He collected the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame along the way, but temporarily left the other strange flames untouched.

Along the way, he could see traces of extensive damage to the ground.

With Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan working together, plus Void Swallowing Flame being restrained by him, they should have been able to take down Soul Emperor.

Lin Xiu unleashed his speed and arrived outside the Immortal Cave in an instant.

Everyone was gathered in the sky, and in the distance, scattered members of the Soul Clan were being besieged by multiple people.

“Lin Xiu!”

“Alliance Leader Lin is out!”

“The Alliance Leader is out!”

As soon as he appeared, Lin Xiu attracted a lot of attention. Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan were the fastest, rushing directly into his arms, holding on tightly.

Clearly, they were outside the Immortal Cave and didn’t know the specific situation inside, so they were worried sick.

Medusa stopped halfway, seemingly realizing her identity was a bit awkward, and quickly halted.

“The Soul Clan just retreated. Were any of you injured outside?”

Lin Xiu asked with concern.

The two women shook their heads.

They were obedient to Lin Xiu; if they couldn’t enter the Immortal Cave, they didn’t even get close.

“Soul Emperor escaped.”

Little Fairy Doctor said.

Lin Xiu’s face showed surprise, “How is that possible?”

“The Soul Clan was very resolute. To help Soul Emperor escape, their members continuously self-destructed, releasing extremely powerful energy that made it impossible to get close.”

Zi Yan explained.

Little Fairy Doctor added, “Moreover, to prevent the Cultivation Alliance from being destroyed by that energy, Clan Leader Gu, Senior Xiao, and others all stepped in to resist the energy.”
