Chapter 347: The Tribulation of the Shi Clan

"I wonder if some lucky fellow will manage to obtain the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame this time?" Looking down at the many figures filing in, Gu Dao could not help but sigh with emotion.

"Oh?" Xiao Han smiled and said, "Perhaps it is best if the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame remains an ownerless object just like this."

Hearing this, the others did not pick up the topic, though in their hearts, they all held a favorable attitude toward these words.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is different from other Exotic Fires; its immense power can even have a significant effect on Dou Saints. In order to maintain the current landscape, it is better for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to stay in the Demon Fire Space.

However, Fire Spirit Fairy soon smiled and said, "Since Ice Saint thinks this way, why send so many experts into the Demon Fire Space?"

Relying on three Four-Star Dou Saints, no one in the Demon Fire Space could be a match for Langya Pavilion in a one-on-one fight, so the winning odds for seizing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame were naturally the highest.

Xiao Han turned a blind eye to the charming allure in Fire Spirit Fairy's smile, and avoiding the main point, he said, "Fire Spirit Fairy is overthinking it; my Langya Pavilion's forces have not yet reached the point of being invincible."

"Is that so..." Fire Spirit Fairy smiled meaningfully and said no more; the entire space fell into silence once again.

Compared to the bustling, step-by-step murderous atmosphere inside the Demon Fire Space, and the gentle whispers and harmonious joy of Xiao Han and the others, a place tens of thousands of miles away was at this moment a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, as if fallen into an abyss.

Shi Clan, Shi Realm.

Shi Clan Clan Leader Shi Qianren stared at the blood-colored figure in front of him with eyes splitting from rage, and said in shock, "Who are you? Why invade my Shi Clan?"

"Invade?" A gentle smile appeared on the blood-colored figure's face, yet this smile, which seemed capable of warming people's hearts, was so ferocious and terrifying against the backdrop of fresh blood.

"Let me correct you, this seat is not invading..."

The gentle tone suddenly turned incomparably cruel, "This seat has come to exterminate your Shi Clan."

"Rest assured, this seat will make good use of your flesh and blood."

The blood-colored figure opened his arms, eyes closed, and his two hands waved gently; a blood-colored giant wave spanning ten thousand zhang suddenly rose, sweeping up countless Shi Clan members and surging toward the very center of the Shi Clan.

One could see the blood of the Shi Clan members in the sea of blood rapidly draining away; their bodies quickly shriveled into skin and bone, and were finally swallowed by the sea of blood to become its nutrients. In a short time, some did not even manage to let out a scream.

"Not good..." The eyes of many Shi Clan experts suddenly shrank, and their hearts immediately sank.

After devouring countless lives, the sea of blood visibly expanded again, more than doubling its original size of tens of thousands of zhang.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Feeling the abundant energy and deeply sniffing the pleasant scent of blood, the blood-colored figure smacked his lips and said quite contentedly, "As expected of an Ancient Race, the quality is indeed high!"

The following words made all the experts on the scene shudder, and an uncontrollable fear rose from their hearts.

"The Ling Clan from before allowed this seat's strength to have a wave of improvement; after devouring you all this time..."

"This seat might be able to advance to the mid-stage of Demon King."

"Ling Clan?!" Shi Qianren thought of a terrifying fact and said in disbelief, "Are you from the Soul Clan?"

"How is that possible? How could the Soul Clan have an expert like you?"

"Yo!" The blood-colored figure was surprised for a moment, "It seems you old thing are not stupid!"

"Although not entirely, it is about the same; this seat is indeed working for the Soul Clan now."

Just as they were speaking, all the experts in the Shi Realm gathered in the square at the center of the Shi Realm, staring in astonishment at the apocalyptic scene within the Shi Realm and the figure not far away.

"There is actually only one person!?" Everyone stared in horror at the figure ten thousand zhang away who had been incomparably calm from beginning to end.

The invader who could force an Ancient Race into this state was actually only one person; even Peak Dou Saints like the leaders of the Ancient and Soul Tribes could not do that, right?

Shi Qianren said with an extremely gloomy face, "Everyone, be careful. This person's Dou Technique is extremely strange; he can control people's blood, and he can devour people's flesh and blood, turning their Dou Qi and energy into his own use."

"He can even..."

"Break through in battle!"

It must be said that Shi Qianren, as the Shi Clan Clan Leader, still had some tricks up his sleeve; at the very least, he had judged the enemy's abilities seven or eight-tenths correctly in a short time.

This blood-colored figure was none other than Xue Qing of the Blood Demon Clan. For Xue Qing, what he feared least was a one-versus-many battle; he could replenish his consumption at any time, all enemies were his mobile blood banks, and fighting to sustain the fight was the basic operation of the Blood Demon Clan.

In just that short while, Xue Qing not only had no consumption, but his aura had actually grown, and his strength had increased by a few points.

"This is currently the critical moment of life and death for my Shi Clan, and I hope everyone can fulfill the promise made back then."

Hearing this, the five or six non-Shi Clan experts who had been invited could not help but stiffen, thinking to themselves, 'Damn it, sometimes you can't just take advantage of things.'

Shi Qianren's tone was quite tough at this moment, "Do not think about protecting yourselves; today there is only one outcome..."

"He dies!"

"Or..."

"We perish!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled violently, their internal Dou Qi surged out crazily, and they stared at the figure in front of them with fierce eyes.

"As expected, there is still some integrity." A strong fighting intent appeared in Xue Qing's eyes, and he grinned.

Just at this moment...

Xue Qing was suddenly stunned and laughed inexplicably, "I didn't expect that there would still be people who dare to try to escape right in front of this seat."

Immediately, to everyone's astonishment, two blood arrows shot out from Xue Qing's eyes; successive screams resounded between heaven and earth, and then two red rays swept in from the horizon and merged into Xue Qing's body.

"The rats have been dealt with."

"Now..."

Xue Qing cast a gaze at the crowd as if looking at prey, licked his scarlet lips, and smiled evilly:

"It's your turn."

Feeling Xue Qing's uncomfortable gaze, the group of experts including Shi Qianren frowned one after another, suppressing the fear in their hearts. Now, only by gathering their own strength could they possibly defeat this strange enemy from the Soul Clan and win a glimmer of survival for themselves.

After all, they had already witnessed the other party's methods; those two experts who were killed without any power to resist were both Five-Star Dou Saints.

It was clear that this realm had been completely sealed, and there was no way to escape. It would be better to give it a try under the leadership of the Shi Clan Clan Leader, the strongest among them.

All the experts unanimously made a vow in their hearts: after returning this time, they must report to their Clan Leaders and spread the news of the Soul Clan exterminating other Ancient Races.

"It seems you are all ready." Xue Qing suddenly said with a chuckle:

"Since that is the case, then take this move of mine first."

"Blood Spirit Life-Devouring Finger!"

As the low shout fell, the monstrous sea of blood that had been tightly following behind Xue Qing suddenly churned violently; the blood tide surged and condensed into a blood-colored finger ten thousand zhang long, and with a thought from the former, it pressed down fiercely toward the crowd.

While the blood finger was still a thousand zhang away, many members of the Shi Clan with insufficient strength were affected, exploding into mists of blood, which were ultimately absorbed by the blood finger...

Seeing this, everyone's expression could not help but sink; Shi Qianren took a deep breath and shouted:

"Shi Clan members!"

"Form the Rock Absolute Heaven Array!"

"Hah!" A unified response resounded throughout the entire Shi Realm.

Immediately, one could see soft, grayish-white halos suddenly light up on the bodies of countless Shi Clan members, reflecting against everyone's skin; endless radiance flowed and swirled, and finally, the light filling the sky shot toward the firmament, resembling stars.

Twining, interweaving, merging...

An incomparably massive boulder emerged above their heads.

"Suppress!"

Shi Qianren held his hands in a supporting posture, his face flushing red and the veins on his body bulging; he then exerted force abruptly, hurling the mountain-like boulder fiercely toward the blood-colored finger.

In but an instant, the two collided abruptly.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roaring sound resounded through heaven and earth, lingering in the ears.

"Emperor Seal Art, Five Seals Overlap!"

"Flame Demon Finger!"

"Thunder Emperor Blade!"

"........."

At the same time, those few surviving experts from other clans also unleashed what they had learned in their lifetimes, striking heavily against that blood-colored finger shadow.
