Chapter 264: I've Really Gone Too Far!
The bright light engulfed the entire Dead Silence Plain, and in that moment, the Blood Sacrifice World seemed to have gained a second sun. The blinding light cut through the darkened sky.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar reverberated through the world. The earth trembled, and a terrifying pillar of fire thousands of feet tall shot through the sky, spreading outward. The boundless force of destruction ravaged every inch of space, wrapping everything in the Five Wheel Fire Formation, including all living beings inside.
The fiery storm filled with destructive power didn't even give Hun Yan and the others a chance to speak before it completely submerged them. The aftermath continued to surge, swallowing countless Hun Devouring Clan members, crashing into the Five Wheel Fire Formation, causing the entire formation to shake violently. The fiery patterns flickered erratically, as if unable to withstand the onslaught of destruction.
Fortunately, the fiery storm didn't continue to spread. It seemed to be controlled, and after reaching a certain limit, it began to retract inward.
As the storm pulled back, the destructive power within it didn't diminish. Instead, with the compression, it became even more violent. The terrifying aura emanating from it caused Hun Dan and the others, who were outside the formation, to change their expressions.
"Someone is controlling it!" Hun Jue said in a deep voice.
"Impossible! The release of such an attack is already outrageous. How could a Dou Zun control it?" Hun Dan immediately refuted, unable to fathom it. This was beyond his understanding.
It was like when you unleash a powerful Dou Technique. You may control the strength and range of the attack, but once it's fully unleashed, how can you control it?
This was also why many powerful individuals on Dou Qi Continent have been injured by their own Dou Techniques.
If Yao Yan could control the fiery storm in front of him, then his ability would certainly surpass everything they knew or imagined!
"It's hard to say..." Hun Jue's gaze flickered as he spoke quietly.
He too thought it was impossible, but looking at what was happening, he couldn't help but believe it. And seeing the formation still intact, it was enough to show that Yao Yan was unharmed. He was even likely in perfect condition, unaffected by the explosion at all!
His speculation was quickly confirmed.
The terrifying fiery storm, under an invisible force's guidance, quickly condensed into a massive purple-black seal, floating above a figure in white robes. That figure was unmistakably Yao Yan. Not only was he completely unharmed, but his aura showed no sign of weakening. He was effortlessly controlling the seal in the sky!
The purple-black seal was a hundred feet wide, with intense destructive power boiling inside it. It emitted an indescribable energy fluctuation that caused the surrounding space to twist slightly, as though the specially reinforced space could barely bear the attack's power.
As Yao Yan began to retract the storm of destruction, the miserable figures of Hun Yan and the others gradually appeared before everyone.
Of the twelve Dou Zuns, six had been killed in the explosion, their limbs and torsos scattered on the charred ground. The remaining six were severely wounded, with Hun Li faring the worst. He had lost an arm and both legs, his body charred black, barely floating in midair. His aura was weak to the extreme, as if opening his eyes had drained him of his last bit of energy.
Hun Yan's cracked lips moved, but no sound came out. He stared in terror at Yao Yan, this monster. He had never imagined that there could be another creature like Hun Wind in this world. This one seemed even more terrifying, and he couldn't even fathom the depths of Yao Yan's power.
Incredibly strong physical power, strange speed, a Hun that had reached the Heavenly Stage, multiple heavenly flames, Heavenly Stage cultivation techniques, Heavenly Stage Dou Techniques...
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. How had he ever thought of provoking such an existence?
Yao Yan, however, ignored the Dou Zuns who were incapacitated with a single strike. His gaze was already locked on the Dead Silence Plain. When he first stepped onto this plain, he had sensed a powerful presence. It seemed to be in a state of death-like stillness, unlike the other Hun Devouring Clan monsters that could move. Even when he fought the twelve Dou Zuns earlier, this presence didn't emerge.
His gaze shifted slightly, and without hesitation, he controlled the Eight Desolations Burning Heaven Seal, sending it crashing toward the Dead Silence Plain.
His eyes remained fixed on the ground below. The vertical pupil in his brow shimmered with a strange purple-black glow. As he focused on the creature beneath, he could see a terrifying entity nearly a hundred feet tall, curled deep within the earth, absorbing an enormous amount of blood essence!
This was Yao Yan's true target.
The twelve Dou Zuns were formidable, but they weren't enough to cause Yao Yan a true breakthrough. This creature, however, was different. It seemed to be the source of the entire Dead Silence Plain, and also the source of many Hun Devouring Clan monsters. If he could devour it, the multiple Dou Emperor bloodlines inside him would likely undergo a special transformation!
"Boom!"
Under everyone's gaze, the Eight Desolations Burning Heaven Seal crashed down, its terrifying power directly fracturing the solid earth. The destructive force rushed downward, and cracks spread in all directions. The power of destruction from the Eight Desolations Burning Heaven Seal surged downward, heading straight for the deepest parts of the plain.
Yao Yan's attack seemed to provoke the monster. Countless bloodthirsty Hun Devouring Clan creatures poured out of the earth, surging toward the destructive energy, like a black cloud. Their bloodthirsty eyes fixed madly on Yao Yan and his group.
Instincts driven by their bloodline caused them to launch suicidal attacks, seeking to devour everything in their path!
This sudden turn of events caused Hun Yan and the others to panic and flee. They hadn't even thought about it when they found themselves trapped by the Five Wheel Fire Formation. Even if they wanted to run, there was nowhere to go. Despair began to overwhelm everyone's heart.
The massive Hun law avatar once again condensed behind Yao Yan. This time, it was more solid than before. The Hun law avatar even formed a vertical pupil, and with an eerie glow in that pupil, a terrifying sound wave erupted from its mouth. The Hun Devouring Clan monsters rushing out of the formation all froze, as if they had lost some sort of connection.
"Condense!" Yao Yan said as he sat cross-legged in the air, using the Five Wheel Fire Formation to create a furnace, covering the entire Dead Silence Plain, intending to refine everything within for himself!
The terrifying flames became even brighter and hotter, and the intentions behind them were clear, driving Hun Yan and the others into complete despair.
At the same time, the monsters deep beneath the earth were stirred.
Even those a thousand miles away could feel the tremors of the earth, and those in the Dead Silence Plain felt it more intensely. In the midst of the destructive storm, a large black hand reached out, breaking through the earth's surface. The terrifying energy exploded continuously around it, with countless pieces of flesh bursting open. Drops of dark red blood stained the earth.
"Roar!"
Soon, the monster revealed its full form. It was a terrifying creature with three heads and eighteen arms, nearly a hundred feet tall, with a pitch-black body. It emitted an extraordinarily sinister aura, and its three eyes were half-lidded, glowing with a bloody red hue. It radiated violent bloodlust, and faintly, a black flame seemed to suppress something within it.
The appearance of this monster instantly caused the heavens to change color. The entire sky was covered in dark red blood clouds, and the oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
With the earth's collapse, this monster, who had been dormant for who knows how long, emerged. Its arms supported the Eight Desolations Burning Heaven Seal, and with a violent posture, it left an indelible mark on everyone's minds.
It was an indescribable feeling, like an ordinary person encountering a ferocious beast and feeling fear. All the Dou Zuns present began to feel terror, even an instinct to flee.
"This... this is?!" Hun Jue watched the monster in disbelief. Its appearance was beyond his understanding.
No matter how strong one's strategy was, they could not stop such an incomprehensible creature.
This creature had no Dou Qi in its body, only an indescribable aura that was overwhelmingly strong, making everyone feel a sense of hopelessness, as though it shouldn't even exist in this world!
Compared to Hun Jue, Hun Dan and the others were even worse off, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
Meanwhile...
Above the endless void, the high-ranking members of the Hun Clan, who were watching the game, showed surprise. Many of them were new-generation Dou Shengs and didn't know the origin of this monster. They couldn't help but ask, "Where did this monster come from in the Blood Sacrifice World? Its aura is so strange!"
"This is a war general from the Hun Devouring Clan, extremely bloodthirsty and aggressive... Their clan has always been very strange. It took the combined efforts of several great families to root them out. Their power system doesn't belong to Dou Qi Continent. They don't need to cultivate Dou Qi. They only need to devour to increase their strength. If they are given enough blood food, they can even easily produce a Dou Sheng-level powerhouse!" Hun Venerable's figure appeared in front of everyone, his eyes flickering with black flames as he whispered.
He had studied the Hun Devouring Clan for nearly a thousand years and knew them very well. Unfortunately, Yao Yan, due to his current strength, hadn't fully awakened the Hun Devouring Clan's bloodline. The power he was using now was only the most basic divine ability of the Hun Devouring Clan, a waste of the royal blood of the Hun Devouring King!
"The foundation of the Blood Sacrifice World is these Hun Devouring Clan children nurtured by Lord Void. They can reproduce indefinitely... but this monster is a special one, the core of this realm!" An elder frowned, seemingly knowing a lot about it.
"Should we act? If it causes an accident, this realm will be destroyed, and the Dou Zun-level bloodline rituals will become very troublesome!"
"Let it be destroyed. This realm exists to select true geniuses. If we can use it to obtain a worthy candidate for the Young Clan Leader, the Clan Leader won't mind... besides, there aren't many days left for the Clan Leader's plan. How long do you think this realm can last?" Hun Venerable said lightly.
He then glanced at Yao Yan, who was refining the Hun Devouring Clan's war general, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Isn't it better to use it all up?"
Hun Venerable had a high enough position in the Hun Clan, and the others didn't dare to say much. Only a few people could rival him. After all, he was the Chief Alchemist of the Hun Clan and a powerhouse in his own right!
"The war general has a trace of Void Heavenly Flame's essence within. You go tell Void Heavenly Flame, don't let this little guy have any accidents!" Hun Yan glanced at Hun Venerable and said calmly.
Hun Venerable nodded, and his figure vanished into the void.
...
Dead Silence Plain.
At this moment, it had turned into a world of flames. The five massive heavenly flame spirits had pinned the Hun Devouring Clan war general beneath them, with countless chains of fire piercing through its body. No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break free, its body completely suppressed within the formation!
"No intelligence, just pure instinct... Fine. If it were at full strength, I might not be able to defeat it!" Yao Yan said, glancing at the monster.
Perhaps due to his Hun Devouring Clan bloodline, he didn't feel any suppression from its aura. On the contrary, the bloodline in him grew even hotter, as if he had encountered some great supplement. Even the vertical pupil in his brow became more eerie, as though it had "come alive."
Yao Yan floated down to the monster's forehead. As he looked into its three blood-red eyes, he could clearly feel the violence and bloodlust contained within.
No intelligence, just instinct driven by its body.
He crouched down and placed one hand on its forehead, feeling the thump of its heart. A powerful, indescribable urge to devour surged within him, and he instinctively licked his lips. The vertical pupil in his brow shifted, leaving a light purple imprint, while his palm formed an evil eye. The terrifying devouring power exploded, swallowing all the monster's power and infusing it into Yao Yan's body.
The terrifying power made Yao Yan's eyes redden instantly. Countless negative emotions flooded his mind, mixed with the fragmented memories of the Hun Devouring Clan!
Luckily, Yao Yan's Hun power wasn't weak. He barely held it together, running the Great Heavenly Scripture to steady his mind. Then, without hesitation, he used Fallen Heart Flame to burn away all the negative emotions, covering every part of his Hun to keep it clear. Meanwhile, the power he absorbed strengthened the evil eye's force, and the bloodline power accumulated in the monster's body over thousands of years flowed into Yao Yan!
In an instant, Yao Yan's aura surged to six stars, then seven stars... eight stars, nine stars, with no signs of stopping, continuously rising toward the Dou Sheng realm!
A terrifying aura engulfed the entire Dead Silence Plain!
"Shit!" Yao Yan felt the change in his body's power and immediately realized he had gone too far. It was too late to stop now, as the evil eye wouldn't allow it. It seemed to have been thirsty for too long, greedily devouring the evil energy, rapidly growing its essence at a visible rate!
It even started to suppress Yao Yan's will, causing him to lose some control over his body!
As time passed, a strange voice echoed in his mind: "Hehehe, little one, do you want power? If you do, relax. I can give you limitless power! Power that will surpass all of Dou Qi Continent!!"
