Netherworld Poison Flame Appears

Xiao Yan's lips curled up, and he held his fingers like a sword. Instantly, his Soul Power condensed into a Soul Sword. The Soul Power of the Mortal Realm Completion stage howled across the heavens and the earth, sweeping across the four seas with a single sword strike. In that instant, Xiao Yan's Soul Power was like a Heavenly Sword, sweeping away stars and cleaving the sun and moon, directly striking Ling Tian.

Xiao Yan had now cultivated this Soul Skill to the entry level, capable of materializing his Soul Power. Soul Skills attack the Soul, while ordinary Dou Techniques can only defend against Dou Qi attacks. Faced with bizarre Soul attacks, ordinary people have no way to defend.

"Soul Skill!" Ling Tian's expression changed drastically, and the power of his bloodline surged, a Spirit Clan Mark appearing on his forehead.

Ling Tian was actually forced to use the Clan Mark to defend against the Dou Di Bloodline! With a dong, Xiao Yan's Soul Power sword struck directly. Although Soul Power was invisible, in Ling Tian's perception, it was as if a divine sword was truly cleaving towards him, piercing his body and directly striking his Soul! With one move, the dazzling spiritual light on Ling Tian's body instantly dimmed a bit. He had suffered a great loss, staggering back several steps.

With a poof, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth! "You... you are a member of the Soul Clan!" Ling Tian pointed at Xiao Yan with a trembling finger, as if he had seen a ghost.

The Spirit Clan had been hiding in their own Spirit Realm, afraid to come out. Some members of the clan had even suggested directly closing the Spirit Realm and hiding.

Wasn't it all because they were afraid of the Soul Clan!

The Soul Clan was a notorious demon with a precedent. Wasn't the Xiao Clan destroyed by the Soul Clan! And now, the weakest of all the Dou Di families was the Spirit Clan, and they still possessed the Tuoshe Ancient Jade.

Some members of the clan had once suggested handing over the Tuoshe Ancient Jade to the Soul Clan, but in the end, the dignity of their remaining Dou Di family prevented them from bowing their heads. They believed that the other Dou Di families would not allow the Soul Clan to destroy more Dou Di families, nor would they allow the Soul Clan to obtain more Tuoshe Ancient Jade.

However, the fear of the Soul Clan was still engraved in his heart.

And Xiao Yan, strengthening himself with Soul Power and using Soul Skills, wasn't he clearly a member of the Soul Clan?!

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiao Yan immediately came up with a plan.

"Heh heh heh, the Spirit Clan is truly getting bolder and bolder, not hiding in their own doghouse, but actually coming here."

Hearing the sharp, unpleasant laughter coming from the Soul Robe, Ling Tian took a half step back in fright! This laughter! Absolutely right!!

It was the Soul Clan! With a buzz, Xiao Yan even took out the Soul Token, which clearly had the word 'Soul' on it! Xiao Yan's eyes darted around, and he said with a strange laugh, "Heh heh heh, you even dare to get involved with the Soul Devouring Clan, it seems that your Spirit Clan doesn't take my Soul Clan seriously."

Ling Tian's expression immediately began to change, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Indeed, the Soul Devouring Clan once possessed the special ability to devour the power of other races' bloodlines. In the end, they were jointly destroyed by all the Dou Di families, but that was thousands of years ago. Now, my Spirit Clan's bloodline power is far inferior to other Dou Di families. What's wrong with me borrowing the power of the Soul Devouring Clan now!"

!!!? Xiao Yan's heart trembled! This Soul Devouring Clan was so awesome that it required all the Dou Di families to join forces to destroy them?!! Xiao Yan naturally couldn't know what kind of monsters the Soul Devouring Clan were. He initially thought they were some kind of powerful Magical Beast, but now, after being frightened by Xiao Yan, Ling Tian revealed the Soul Devouring Clan's affairs, and only then did he know that this Soul Devouring Clan could devour the bloodline power of other races! "Then what the hell is this thing below? Wasn't it destroyed? Could it have lived for thousands of years?!!!" Xiao Yan swallowed hard. Were those Dou Di families so unreliable that they left behind such a thing! "Hmph, if you don't want me to tell the other Dou Di families about this, bring the Clear Soul Youlan, and I will leave, guaranteeing not to mention this matter," Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

If he could avoid fighting, of course he would!

But at this moment, suddenly with a ka, the ground behind Ling Tian cracked open, and a pair of ghostly hands stretched out from underground. Before the ghostly thing inside could crawl out, an ancient and sharp voice rang out: "Help me revive, and I will help you kill him, so that no one will know about this."

When this ancient and sharp voice rang out, Xiao Yan and the others' hearts skipped a beat.

Could this be the remnant of the so-called Soul Devouring Clan?!

Hearing this voice, a look of struggle flashed in Ling Tian's eyes, and a touch of scarlet appeared in his eyes as he stared fiercely at Xiao Yan.

As the hoarse voice from underground slowly faded, the ghostly hands stretching out from the Ground Fissure suddenly opened, and round objects like fetal eggs slowly flew out from the palms of the hands. Black light swirled around the round objects.

The dense black fetal eggs suddenly exploded, and instantly, a series of shrill and sharp cries resounded in the sky. Hair-raising black shadows poured down from the sky like a rainstorm, and finally flew madly towards the entire valley.

Looking at the dense black shadows that were rapidly sweeping over from the sky, not only the Dou Wang (Fighting King) experts who had come to the depths, but even the low-level Apothecary who planned to pick some ordinary herbs to sell for money were targets!

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they hurriedly circulated their Dou Qi. However, just as the Dou Qi was rising, a black light flashed before their eyes, and then many people felt a pain in their chest. They lowered their heads and saw that there was already a huge blood hole in their chest, and blood and internal organs spurted out!

"What is this thing?"

"Ah! Save me!"

Xiao Yan's expression was a bit gloomy. He froze it with Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and grabbed a black shadow at random. These things actually possessed human bodies, but the hollow and scarlet eyes and the beast-like sharp palms made him understand that these things were quite different from humans! "These things are the Soul Devouring Clan?!"

"This thing can devour people's flesh and Dou Qi!"

Xiao Yan's scalp went numb. These things, as small as elves in cartoons, were the Soul Devouring Clan that all the Dou Di families had to join forces to deal with?! Facing this strange Soul Devouring Clan, the entire mountain range fell into chaos. Fierce battles broke out everywhere, and shrill screams rang out incessantly, and scarlet blood stained the earth red.

In mid-air, Ling Tian looked at the mountain range that was rapidly falling into chaos, and his expression also became extremely gloomy. Then, he gritted his teeth and actually released his Dou Qi defense, opening his arms, looking like he was ready to be slaughtered!

"Hahahaha, you are enlightened. Don't worry, you have given me so many sacrifices. After I am resurrected, I will naturally find people from other Dou Di families, absorb their bloodlines to restore you and even reach the God Grade Bloodline you want!"

Puff puff puff!!! As soon as the voice fell, countless black Soul Devouring Clan members drilled into Ling Tian's body and began to absorb his Dou Di Bloodline! "Ah!!" After the bloodline in his body was taken away, Ling Tian let out a shrill scream, and his body began to wither visibly.

From a handsome young man, he turned into an old man on the verge of death in the blink of an eye, and even the Dou Qi in his body was sucked dry!

"Kill him! We can't let him pass this matter back to the Soul Clan!"

Xiao Yan really never dreamed that the Soul Clan would have such oppressive power! In order to prevent Xiao Yan from passing the matter back, Ling Tian did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to kill Xiao Yan and silence him! In fact, this was also because Xiao Yan didn't know what the Soul Devouring Clan represented to the Dou Di families. For all the Dou Di families, getting involved with this kind of power was the same as being an enemy of all the Dou Di families. For the Dou Di families, the Dou Di Bloodline was the foundation, so how could they let this kind of race that absorbed bloodline power live.

When all the Soul Devouring Clan members flew back, with a rumble, the ground collapsed, and a monster crawled out from underground.

This monster had a huge body, a worm body and a human head, with six fleshy wings growing on its back, and a huge horn on its head. This horn was dark all over!

At this moment, such a monster stood there, causing the entire world to tremble. The aura it emitted was terrifying, far surpassing that of a Dou Zong!

"Yao Old Mister, this isn't a Dou Zun, is it?" Xiao Yan's scalp was tingling; he didn't want to admit it.

After a long silence, Heavenly Flame Venerable's voice came from the storage ring, but it was bad news.

"Although not as strong as I once was... but... it already possesses the strength of a one-star Dou Zun." Heavenly Flame Venerable's voice was low. He used to be stronger, but that was in the past. Now, not to mention just his Soul Body, even if everyone combined their strength, they would just be delivering food.

"Wh-wh-what kind of monster is this!?"

"This is Youdu Venerable?!"

"Are you stupid? It doesn't look human at all!"

Seeing such a monster, even some Dou Huang Poison Masters couldn't help but feel terrified.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. The monster was draped with corpses. When he saw the attire of those corpses, Xiao Yan's mind exploded! These were all disciples of the Dou Di families! The badges on their clothes even included those of the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan! Moreover, some of the corpses were not yet rotten and were quite 'fresh,' likely disciples of the Medicine Clan, Flame Clan, and Stone Clan who had been deceived by Ling Tian!

The flesh and blood of these Dou Di family disciples had been completely drained! "The Spirit Clan has been raising this thing!" Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice.

"No, judging from the traces of life, it doesn't seem to have been raised in captivity all along. It should have been in a heavily injured, near-death state, eking out an existence by devouring flesh and blood, but it gradually turned into this inhuman, ghostly thing. Moreover, it has severe injuries; it hasn't fully recovered," Heavenly Flame Venerable denied Xiao Yan's statement.

In fact, as Heavenly Flame Venerable said, when the Soul Devouring Clan was annihilated, the remaining members fled in all directions, and the Spirit Clan naturally participated in the pursuit. This was one of the battlefields.

Ling Tian discovered this piece of history by chance when he came to investigate and found this monster.

Now, this monster cannot even be called the original Soul Devouring Clan; it is more like a demon formed by the fusion of the Soul Devouring Clan! "Kill him! He's from the Soul Clan, and he also has Dou Di Bloodline!" Ling Tian roared, pointing at Xiao Yan.

Immediately, the monster known as Devouring Grievance turned its head to look at Xiao Yan, revealing a strange smile, and said, "Heh, Soul Clan. It was your Soul Clan that killed my clan's Devouring Spirit King back then. Today, I will make your Soul Clan pay for it with blood!"

Xiao Yan was dumbfounded! I'm not from the Soul Clan; I was just bragging! With a *boom*, in that instant, the huge monster finally attacked. Regardless of whether this monster was from the Soul Devouring Clan or had turned into some other monster, it was a genuine Dou Zun!

No matter what kind of Dou Zun, in Xiao Yan's eyes, it possessed terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth! A large hand suddenly lashed out, and Xiao Yan was shocked. Dou Qi rapidly circulated through his Meridians, and he shouted, "*Mountain Splitting Seal!!!*"

At the critical moment, Xiao Yan finally unleashed the true power of the Mountain Splitting Seal this time, and a huge handprint blasted out, colliding with the giant monster's palm.

"Mountain... Mountain Splitting Seal! How... how do you even know the Gu Clan's Dou Technique? Just who are you?" Ling Tian was dumbfounded. That was the Gu Clan's secret Dou Technique; how could a member of the Soul Clan know it!

There were also exchange competitions among the younger generation of the Dou Di families, so he naturally knew the Gu Clan's Emperor Seal Technique, but seeing the Emperor Seal Technique on a member of the Soul Clan??? Unheard of!

Even though Xiao Yan finally unleashed the true power of the Emperor Seal Technique, Xiao Yan, who was only at the half-step Dou Zong level, still couldn't withstand a casual blow from a Dou Zun. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing into the mountains.

"Xiao Yan!" Little Fairy Doctor's poison Qi erupted, and she immediately broke free from her opponent, waving her sleeve to shatter all the rubble and bring Xiao Yan out.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yan struggled to stand up, took out a Sixth Grade healing pill, and put it in his mouth. The pill's medicinal effects quickly restored Xiao Yan's injuries.

Xiao Yan turned his head to look into the distance. Through the perception of the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire, Xiao Yan knew that Zi Yan had not yet been able to open a void fissure.

With a whoosh, the giant monster attacked again. Xiao Yan clasped his hands together, and terrifying Strange Flames rapidly fused in his palms.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor also dared not hold back, activating the Calamity Poison Body, and colorful light patterns emerged, illuminating the space.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor activated the Calamity Poison Body, at this critical moment, with a *thump*, in that instant, a sword light flashed. As Devouring Grievance attacked, a sword pierced through the monster's large hand and instantly pinned it to the ground.

A person appeared in the air, actually breaking out of the ground, instantly appearing above this basin, sword in hand! A person and a sword stood in front of Xiao Yan and the others, their grace unparalleled!

When Xiao Yan clearly saw the appearance of the person in front of him, his eyes narrowed. How could this person look exactly like the Youdu Venerable that Ling Tian had initially transformed into!

When his Soul power swept over, Xiao Yan was even more shocked. This was not a person; it was a manifestation of the Netherworld Poison Flame!

Heavenly Flame Venerable's voice came, "I understand now. No wonder this monster has such severe injuries. Back then, he should have also been attracted here by the Clear Soul Youlan, then discovered this monster. In the end, he detonated his Calamity Poison Body and used his Strange Flame to seal this monster here forever, intending to use the power of the Netherworld Poison Flame to completely poison it to death!"

"The poisonous miasma that seals the entire valley is the power of the Netherworld Poison Flame."

Xiao Yan understood why this area was so desolate, unlike the vibrant place at the entrance. It turned out that an explosion of the Calamity Poison Body had occurred here, poisoning the land to death! "It should have been awakened by that girl Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, some kind of will hidden in the Netherworld Poison Flame. Perhaps he also guessed that someone in later generations would break the seal, so he left behind a contingency plan!"

"Youdu!!!" Looking at the figure in front of him, the giant monster let out an angry roar, shouting, "You couldn't kill me even when you detonated your Calamity Poison Body back then! It's even more impossible now!"
