Chapter 349: 349. Chapter 349: Refining the Void Swallowing Flame!

349. Chapter 349: Refining the Void Swallowing Flame!

The sky was thick with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if the end of the world had arrived.

On the ground, there were bottomless ravines everywhere; mountain peaks collapsed and the earth cracked. Countless Soul Clan powerhouses were reduced to powder under this force, not even having time to let out a scream.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, the powerhouses of the Six-Clan Allied Forces finally recovered from their shock. They looked around, only to see that the entire Soul Realm was unrecognizable, filled with hideous cracks everywhere.

Gu Yuan slowly stood up from the ruins, his face pale, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His majestic face was filled with exhaustion. "It's over."

Gu Yuan muttered to himself. Beside him, Yan Jin and Lei Ying also stood up unsteadily.

"Haha!"

Lei Ying looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, his voice filled with excitement.

"Hahahaha!"

Yan Jin also could not help but laugh out loud. In the distance, Yao Dan, Ling Yuan, and the others also rushed over one after another. Although they had also been affected by the aftermath of Hun Tiandi's self-detonation, their injuries were not too severe.

"Clan Leader Gu Yuan, this time it is all thanks to you."

Yao Dan said sincerely, his eyes full of admiration.

"Indeed, if not for Clan Leader Gu Yuan turning the tide, we would likely have found it difficult to win."

Ling Yuan also nodded repeatedly, his tone filled with gratitude.

"Winning this battle is the result of our six clans working together with one heart. My clan's Gu Fei deserves much of the credit."

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly as he spoke. Gu Yuan's gaze turned toward Gu Fei, who was checking his injuries not far away. Gu Fei's entire body was shining with golden light, his face was ruddy, and he appeared to have no major issues.

Just as everyone was talking, a commotion suddenly came from the distance.

Following Hun Tiandi's self-detonation, the entire Soul Realm fell into chaos.

Smoke and dust filled the air, the earth collapsed, and countless Soul Clan powerhouses were reduced to powder under this world-destroying force. When the dust settled, the powerhouses of the Six-Clan Allied Forces finally recovered from their shock.

Looking around, the Soul Realm was already unrecognizable.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if the end of the world had arrived. On the ground, there were bottomless ravines everywhere; mountain peaks collapsed and the earth cracked.

"Everyone, the Soul Clan no longer has any power to resist; it is time to completely eradicate this scourge!"

Gu Yuan said in a deep voice, his tone filled with determination.

Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another. A cold glint flashed in their eyes; clearly, they had not the slightest bit of pity for the Soul Clan.

"Kill!"

Following the order, the Six-Clan Allied Forces surged toward every part of the Soul Realm like a tide. Wherever they went, not a single living soul remained. Countless members of the Soul Clan wailed in fear, yet they were powerless to resist this torrent.

In the sky, countless streaks of light cut through the air, covering the entire Soul Realm like a giant net. On the ground, groups of powerhouses galloped past, leaving nothing alive in their wake.

One Soul Clan building after another turned to ash in the flames, and countless Soul Clan texts were burned. It was as if the Six-Clan Allied Forces wanted to completely erase the traces of the Soul Clan's existence on this continent.

The entire process lasted for three full days and three nights. When the last member of the Soul Clan fell, the entire Soul Realm had turned into scorched earth.

The once-prosperous Soul Clan was thus annihilated in the long river of history. "Fellow Clan Leaders, since the Soul Clan has been destroyed, why don't we find a place to properly discuss the subsequent matters?"

Gu Fei proposed.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon, the high-level members of the several clans gathered in a palace that was still intact. Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and others sat in the main seats, while the other powerhouses were divided on both sides. The atmosphere was solemn and heavy.

"Everyone, we have won a great victory in this battle, and the Soul Clan has become a thing of the past."

"However, there are still some matters that require our discussion."

Gu Yuan said, his gaze sweeping across those present. Hearing this, everyone nodded.

That was right; how to dispose of the Void Swallowing Flame was truly worth considering.

"Everyone... I once promised that I would not covet the Void Swallowing Flame."

"Today, I shall take out the Void Swallowing Flame, and let you all decide how to dispose of it."

Gu Fei spoke slowly, his voice resonant. Before his words had even faded, Gu Fei flipped his palm, and a fire lotus as black as ink appeared out of thin air. The entire fire lotus emitted an aura that made one's heart palpitate, as if it could swallow everything. Everyone present could not help but gasp. The Void Swallowing Flame—this was the second-ranked Exotic Fire in the world! That it was brought out so nonchalantly by Gu Fei was truly shocking.

"Previously, everyone had concerns. How about we seal this Void Swallowing Flame today?"

Gu Fei said very magnanimously. Once these words were spoken, everyone present could not help but look at each other.

Gu Fei would actually make such a decision! One had to know that the Void Swallowing Flame was a supreme treasure that countless powerhouses dreamed of! Just as everyone was silent, Yan Jin suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Gu Fei, such a heavenly treasure would be too much of a waste if it is not used."

"Since Brother Gu Fei has the ability to fuse with Exotic Fire, why not just keep it?"

Yan Jin looked at Gu Fei with burning eyes. "That's right, Little Friend Gu Fei has extraordinary strength. If you can fuse with the Void Swallowing Flame, your strength will surely rise to a higher level."

Lei Ying also chimed in, a look of approval on his face.

They saw the situation clearly; now that the Soul Clan had been destroyed, the Ancient Clan had undoubtedly become the most powerful clan.

Not to mention Gu Yuan, even Gu Fei had the strength to defeat both Lei Ying and Yan Jin.

Under these circumstances, doing Gu Fei a favor was undoubtedly a wise move.

Hearing this, Gu Fei frowned slightly, appearing somewhat hesitant.

"I appreciate the kindness of you seniors, Gu Fei accepts it. It is just..."

"Little Friend Gu Fei need not decline."

"You have made great contributions to the Allied Forces; it is only right that this Void Swallowing Flame belongs to you."

Yao Dan said with a chuckle. The others also echoed his sentiments. Gu Fei looked around, and seeing that everyone's attitude was firm, he slowly nodded.

"Since that is the case, I shall not be overly modest."

Gu Fei smiled slightly. "By the way, there is also that piece of Ancient Jade from the Soul Clan..."

Just at this moment, Ling Yuan suddenly spoke up. Once these words were spoken, everyone was taken aback.

"How about..."

"Let the Ancient Clan keep it."

Ling Yuan's gaze turned toward Gu Yuan; currently, the Ancient Clan possessed the greatest strength, so having the Ancient Clan safeguard the Ancient Jade was undoubtedly the safest choice.

"Since you all trust my Ancient Clan, then I shall accept this Ancient Jade without false modesty."

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.

The news of the Six-Clan Allied Forces' complete victory swept across the entire continent like a hurricane.

A secluded mountain cave within the Ancient Clan.

Gu Fei sat cross-legged, flipped his palm, and that pitch-black fire lotus appeared once again.

"Void Swallowing Flame, do you know the Dandan Ring Method?"

Gu Fei asked, his tone calm.

The fire lotus trembled slightly, seemingly responding to Gu Fei's question.

"Do you know the weaknesses of that Embryonic Pill of the Emperor grade?"

Gu Fei frowned slightly and continued to press. The fire lotus vibrated again, seemingly conveying some kind of information.

The corners of Gu Fei's mouth curled up slightly; clearly, Gu Fei had obtained the answer he wanted. Gu Fei naturally knew that without the Dandan Ring Method, it was extremely difficult to subdue the Embryonic Pill of the Emperor grade passed down by the Ancient Emperor. The next moment, Gu Fei formed seals with his hands, and the Dou Qi within his body surged wildly. A terrifying suction force erupted from within him, enveloping the pitch-black fire lotus.

"Hum!"

The fire lotus shook violently, emitting bursts of mournful cries. However, under Gu Fei's powerful will, it finally yielded. The fire lotus was seen slowly melting, transforming into streams of pure energy that surged into Gu Fei's body.
