This was a rather dark room, with black mist shrouding the sky, and a chilling force permeating every corner of this space.
In the depths of this space, above a dark palace, a figure was sitting cross-legged in the void. Inside his body, a constant stream of pitch-black flames seeped out. From a distance, it looked like a black hole, constantly devouring everything in the world.
Below him, there were countless black figures.
At this moment, from the storage rings of those black figures, light clusters were continuously drifting out.
The color of the light clusters tended to be transparent, but inside, they were filled with pure energy that could change people's expressions.
If Xiao Ming were here, he would recognize that all those light clusters were actually the soul essences collected by the Hall of Souls!
Back then, Xiao Ming relied on the soul essences from the Hall of Souls in order to progress his soul cultivation at a rapid pace and quickly reach the Great Circle of the Heaven Realm.
Counting carefully, there were nearly a hundred of these light clusters of various sizes here.
"Whoosh!"
The figure sitting in meditation in the sky made a fierce wind-like sound. A wave of black flames swept out, creating a suction force that drew all those clusters of soul essence upwards.
Those clusters of soul essence were all devoured as soon as they came into contact with the black flames!
As that figure devoured more and more clusters of soul essence, a terrifying soul fluctuation gradually emerged from that figure's body.
"Roar!"
The waves of this fluctuation grew stronger and stronger, almost tangible. Eventually, it was so strong that it caused distortions in the space. A deep, low roar came from the figure's mouth, and then he suddenly stood up.
In an instant, the overwhelming soul fluctuations erupted like a volcano and spread across the sky and earth.
"Congratulations to Lord Nihility for breaking through to the Emperor Realm!"
Sensing the overwhelming soul pressure, the countless black figures below immediately prostrated themselves. The respectful and thunderous voices echoed in this space, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
At the top of the mountain, a figure stood with his hands behind his back. He looked up at Nihility Devouring Flame in the sky and smiled faintly.
In this space filled with a dark and eerie atmosphere, he was dressed in white robes and looked extremely conspicuous.
However, no one questioned his abrupt appearance. The gazes of those who looked at him were filled with fanaticism and reverence.
This person was, of course, the Clan Head of the Hun Clan, Hun Tiandi.
Hun Tiandi took a step and appeared in front of Nihility Devouring Flame in the sky. After carefully examining him, he smiled and said, "Not bad. After so much effort, you've finally reached the Emperor Realm Soul."
"Ha ha."
Nihility Devouring Flame couldn't help but burst into laughter. Beings like him usually found it extremely difficult to cultivate their souls to the Emperor Realm.
Fortunately, over the past few years, the Hall of Souls refined a considerable amount of soul essence. It was with the tremendous and incomparable energy of these soul essences that he was able to forcibly elevate himself to the Emperor Realm.
However, the price of such an advancement was quite high. The vast majority of the soul essence that the Hall of Souls had worked so hard to collect for so many years had been completely devoured by him.
However, given Nihility Devouring Flame's very high status in the Hun Clan, no one dared to question this treatment.
"There is a reward for every sacrifice. With my current strength, I can be considered the third strongest in the Dou Qi Continent. Even against Gu Yuan, I can hold him off for a while. This is beneficial to our plan," Nihility Devouring Flame said.
Hun Tiandi smiled and nodded. His eyes were slightly heated as he spoke softly, "It seems that we can speed up our upcoming plan. I don't know why, but the longer the plan is delayed, the more I feel an ominous feeling deep inside..."
"... After the clan members rest, you and I will each lead a team to wipe out the Yao Clan and Yan Clan. There will be nothing to fear from the remaining Lei Clan and Gu Clan. The opportunity Tou She Ancient God has left will be within my grasp.' He concluded.
"As long as we open the mansion in time and obtain the Di Tier Embryonic Pill inside, you will be able to use its power to break through to a realm that no one has reached in ten thousand years and become the truly strongest existence in this world." Nihility Devouring Flame licked his lips, then his gaze flickered. Changing his tone, he smiled and said: "However, you mustn't forget that there's something I need from that mansion as well. I also need you to collect the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and other Heavenly Flames for me. That was our agreement from years ago."
"Don't worry. You are closely related to my Hun Clan, and I definitely won't deceive you. If what you said is true and the item you need is in the mansion, I will help you retrieve it."
Hun Tiandi's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, although he maintained a smile on the surface.
"As for the Heavenly Flames you mentioned, it's not that my Hun Clan is slacking off, but these Heavenly Flames are extremely difficult to find. Those that meet your requirements are very rare. Currently, the only ownerless Heavenly Flame in the Central Plains that could barely meet your criteria is the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which is located in the Heavenly Court's headquarters. But it's not worth the trouble to break into the Heavenly Court for a Heavenly Flame of such a level."
"Heavenly Court? Is that the one established by that remnant of the Xiao Clan?" When Nihility Devouring Flame heard this name, the smile on his face diminished, and his interest in the Heavenly Flame waned a bit.
The reason for this was simple - Xiao Ming had taken the soul essence that had originally belonged to him!
These were the soul essences from the headquarters of the four regions, as well as the two Tiangang Halls in the Central Plains.
Even if those soul essences were placed in the Hun Clan, it would still be a considerable number. Furthermore, many branch halls were destroyed in the conflict with the Heavenly Palace and the Hall of Souls.
This forced them to speed up their plans to annihilate those hidden clans in order to extract their soul essence.
If they hadn't taken such measures, it would have been difficult for him to break through to the Emperor Realm in his soul cultivation today.
One shouldn't be surprised that even though most of Xiao Ming's actions were extremely secretive, the Hun Clan still managed to discover that he had seized so many soul essences.
Who made Xiao Ming's Soul Realm improve at a rate faster than riding a rocket? If the Hun Clan hadn't reacted by now, it would mean they really had no brains.
"I heard that there is still a piece of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade on this person. Why not just take it directly?"
"Even though Xiao Ming has extraordinary potential, he's not as much of a concern as the Gu Clan. There's no need to worry about him. Could it be that in the past few years, he has grown to such an extent that he can compete with our clan? Our clan has been planning for a thousand years."
Hun Tiandi shook his head and returned the conversation to its original topic. Understanding that Nihility Devouring Flame was not one to let things go easily, he said slowly.
"In a few days, I will personally get the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame for you."
Having said that, Hun Tiandi disappeared on the spot.
Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes flickered as he looked at the place where Hun Tiandi had disappeared.
"Hmph, Dou God? This seat also wants to reach that supreme realm. Once I devour the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and remove that old fellow's inheritance, a Di Tier Embryonic Pill might not be out of the question..."
Kisshot May this year bring new joys, goals, accomplishments, and plenty of inspiration to your life. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year!
