Chapter 358: Chapter 358 The Remnant Flame of the Void Devouring Flame
Several Dou Zong experts didn't even have time to plead for their lives before they were turned into mere "fertilizer."
Meanwhile, at the foot of Yun Lan Mountain, the so called "strong" experts of the Jia Ma Empire stood frozen, staring blankly at the black mist shrouding the mountain peak.
At this moment, they finally understood why Lord Yan Zun had forbidden them from going up.
Because if they had… their fate would have been nothing more than a swift boom reduced to nourishment for someone else.
To them, a Dou Huang was already an unfathomably powerful existence.
A Dou Zong? That was an entity they had never even come close to encountering.
Yet today, both Dou Huang and Dou Zong experts were nothing more than ants.
Even though they couldn't see what was happening at the top of the mountain, they could feel it
One terrifying aura after another, each more fearsome than the last… suddenly vanished into nothingness.
This silent, eerie slaughter was far more terrifying than anything they could have imagined.
They looked toward the horizon, where the sky was swallowed in black mist, and found themselves at a loss for words.
If they had been there…
They wouldn't have lasted a single second.
Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor, reassured himself once more he had chosen the right person to follow.
A true powerhouse.
He was now attached to a leg that others could only dream of clinging onto.
And after this battle, his own status in the Northwest Continent would undoubtedly reach heights no one had ever seen before!
He never even considered the possibility of the Guardian Elder losing.
Because if he lost, then the Jia Ma Empire would cease to exist anyway.
…
On Yun Lan Mountain.
Within the dense black mist, only three Soul Hall Elders remained Hong Ying, Qin Tian, and Elder Mu Gu.
Wu Tian stared at them, expressionless.
He couldn't help but admire the sheer ruthlessness of the Soul Hall.
They had gathered nearly all the Soul Hall experts from across the Northwest Continent, just for one purpose:
To obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
And to kill him.
Thanks to that idiot Xiao Yan, they had indeed succeeded in obtaining the ancient jade.
But they hadn't even made a move against Wu Tian yet
And they had already slaughtered their own people, wiping out nearly a hundred Soul Hall experts!
It was almost frustrating as their enemy.
Now, three incredibly strengthened Dou Zun experts stood before him.
Wu Tian's body flared with powerful Dou Qi in response.
Compared to them, his physical strength was still lacking.
But his soul power had already reached the Dou Zun level.
And with the amplification of four Heavenly Flames, his combat ability was practically monstrous.
"This is… soul power???"
The three Soul Hall Elders, who had just finished absorbing a tremendous amount of energy, were shocked.
They had never expected Wu Tian's Dou Qi to belong to the realm of the soul!
It was unbelievable.
Who could have imagined that the Guardian Elder of the Snake People Tribe would have such terrifying soul power?
Just how powerful was he, really?
And how the hell had he absorbed four different Heavenly Flames?
Who was he?!
Wu Tian's mysteries left them utterly shaken.
They had assumed he was just another arrogant nobody
But they had been so very wrong.
Hiss…
Hiss…
Two overwhelming forces clashed in the sky
One of black mist, filled with boundless darkness and malice.
The other of four colored flames, burning with absolute brilliance.
Where they collided, crackling arcs of lightning flickered through the air.
The sheer intensity of their battle churned the skies, splitting the heavens into two distinct colors.
On one side a void of endless darkness.
On the other a dazzling spectacle of divine fire.
Neither side appeared to gain the upper hand at first.
"Damn it!"
Elder Mu Gu's face twisted into a grimace.
He could feel the immense power radiating from Wu Tian's soul based Dou Qi.
He gritted his teeth.
Normally, soul power should have been their advantage.
But Wu Tian was different
He wielded four Heavenly Flames.
And Heavenly Flames were natural counters to their kind.
Four flames combined made it nearly impossible to even get close to him!
If not for the black flame surrounding Elder Mu Gu, they might have already lost this fight before it even began.
But now…
Both Hong Ying and Qin Tian had renewed confidence.
Because they had finally realized what the black flames on Elder Mu Gu's body truly were.
This was why the Soul Hall's leader, Hun Miesheng, valued him so highly.
An eighth tier alchemist like Elder Mu Gu…
Had somehow managed to obtain this power.
Their strength continued to surge, forming an enormous vortex in the sky.
On one side, Wu Tian's four colored flame barrier roared defiantly.
On the other side, an abyssal black void loomed ominously.
Yun Lan Mountain itself was being split apart by two forces
One side bathed in dark, deathly silence.
The other glowing with divine brilliance.
On the blackened half, all life had been eradicated.
Even the grass beneath them had been reduced to ash, as if returning the land to an ancient, barren wasteland.
Meanwhile, the four colored flames preserved the last remnants of life
The only surviving humans.
Everything else had already been reduced to fuel.
Wu Tian was no saint.
He didn't care about preserving the land or honoring the dead.
If anything, erasing Yun Lan Mountain entirely would be better.
That way, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran would have no painful memories left behind.
Since that's the case…
Then let Yun Lan Mountain disappear.
Wu Tian understood how terrifying the Void Devouring Flame was.
Even compared to the four Heavenly Flames he had absorbed, the Void Devouring Flame was on an entirely different level.
A Heavenly Flame that had developed intelligence, evolved to the point of reaching Dou Sheng, and gained self awareness…
It was dozens of times stronger than anything he had ever encountered.
If this had been the real Void Devouring Flame…
Wu Tian would have stood no chance.
But this?
This was nothing more than a mere flicker of the Void Devouring Flame.
Even so, Wu Tian could feel the absolute suppression it exerted.
To stand at the top of the Heavenly Flame list, it had to be capable of devouring all things.
Even the Soul Hall's leader, Hun Miesheng, had only barely managed to obtain a tiny fragment of its power.
If not for the mysterious first ranked Heavenly Flame…
If not for the unexpected rise of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor…
The Void Devouring Flame would have ruled over all things.
Even with only a wisp of its fire present, Wu Tian's forehead was already dripping with sweat.
As a fire based entity himself…
If the true Void Devouring Flame were here, he might actually be devoured.
However…
This was just a remnant flame.
Which meant… it would become his nourishment instead.
Wu Tian's gaze shifted toward Xiao Yan.
The poor boy was trembling uncontrollably.
If he had been drinking water, he probably would have pissed himself already.
Wu Tian's expression softened slightly.
Poor kid…
He's suffering so much for no reason.
If only he knew how things were supposed to unfold…
He would probably be screaming
"You're not following the script!!!"
Heh…
