Within the Ancient Realm, the Ancient Clan was holding a meeting, with a group of clan elders arguing endlessly, each sticking to their own views, never stopping.
Gu Yuan suddenly stood up, his aura erupting. The might of a Nine-Star Dou Saint spread out without reservation.
That terrifying aura instantly enveloped more than half of the Ancient Realm. Even though it was unintentional and not directed at anyone specifically, the Dou Saint-level clan elders present all felt a sudden difficulty in breathing.
One by one, their faces turned pale with fright, thinking that their arguments had angered Gu Yuan. They all shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.
Only Black Nirvana King, whose strength was outstanding, and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, the three elders, still maintained relatively normal expressions.
Black Nirvana King's expression changed, and he asked, "Clan leader, what's wrong?"
"You all continue, I'm going out for a bit."
Saying that, Gu Yuan waved his hand, tearing space, and stepped into it, instantly disappearing.
He left behind the bewildered Black Nirvana King and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, who looked at each other with somewhat blank expressions.
"Could it be that something happened on the young miss's side?" Gu Dao, one of the Three Immortals, said with a solemn expression.
"Possible." Black Nirvana King nodded.
With the clan leader absent due to an unexpected departure, he, as the strongest person remaining, naturally took charge of maintaining order at the scene:
"The meeting is suspended until the clan leader returns."
...
In the Soul Realm, Soul Emperor frowned at the soul light cluster that had been corrupted by the Celestial Worthy's will.
Ever since Soul Destruction Life sent this thing over, he had been researching it tirelessly.
As a peak individual who had reached the end of his path and had been unable to take another step for thousands of years, only traces left by such higher-level existences could sufficiently pique his interest.
Moreover, the will contained within this soul origin was not like the dead object of the Tuo She ancient jade; it possessed a certain 'living' characteristic, allowing for more information to be deciphered from it.
Perhaps it was even possible to establish contact and communicate with the great existence that left this will behind.
However, the corruption within was truly terrifying. That vast and ancient will was truly astonishing. Soul Emperor had been careful enough, but still felt that he had been slightly affected.
Suddenly, he felt a change in the World. A vast and terrifying pressure, like heavenly might, permeated between heaven and earth. This pressure was very subtle, but in his eyes, it was even more conspicuous than the blazing sun in the sky.
He changed from his cross-legged posture and stood up, also instinctively radiating a profound and terrifying aura.
"Hmm? What's wrong with your clan leader?" "Xiao Zhan" sat on the third-floor balcony of a restaurant, smiling as he gazed into the distance.
Hun Qiu did not answer him, closing his mouth and saying nothing. His dark eyes looked towards the highest mountain peak, a slight ripple appearing in them.
At the same time, another aura erupted from a certain forbidden area. Although this aura was not as vast as Soul Emperor's, like an endless ocean, it was still terrifying enough, having already reached the peak of an Eight-Star Dou Saint, and fluctuating, in a state where it could break through at any moment.
Accompanying this aura was a trembling sensation, as if it could devour everything and cause all things to collapse.
"Clan leader... Void Swallowing Flame?" One Soul Clan powerhouse after another stopped their actions, holding their breath, waiting for instructions.
They all thought that the Soul Clan was about to make a big move!
A dark vortex suddenly appeared beside Soul Emperor, and a black-robed figure, with black flames swirling around him like a black hole, stepped out from within.
"Soul Emperor, did you sense anything?" He said in a hoarse, low, ancient, and Vicissitudes voice.
Some of the words he spoke had slightly different pronunciations from modern language, being older expressions, and his voice carried a special rhythm.
"I felt the wrath of this heaven and earth, as if something that shouldn't exist has been born, and the entire World wants to erase it." In the depths of Soul Emperor's unusually bright eyes, there was a hint of madness and chaos that was hard to detect.
He paused, looking at Void Swallowing Flame:
"It seems you've sensed it too. With your senses, do you have any different feelings?"
Soul Emperor knew that Void Swallowing Flame, a being born from the essence of heaven and earth, had a close connection with this World. Many times, he could receive the call of heaven and earth and perceive things that ordinary humans could not.
In Void Swallowing Flame's eyes, which flickered with black flames, a hint of doubt flashed: "I feel that I have some similarities with that thing, but the connection is not that close.
"My intuition tells me that this matter is very serious, which is why I came out of seclusion. It feels as if heaven and earth are summoning me, urging me to resolve that thing.
"Damn it, I was already about to break through, just one step away."
Towards the end, Void Swallowing Flame's tone carried a hint of anger. He was just one step away from breaking through to Nine-Star Dou Saint, entering the highest level below Dou Emperor, but this unexpected event had forcibly interrupted him.
Soul Emperor was not annoyed or angry by this, and gently comforted him with a warm smile:
"No matter, take your time. We will support you with the full strength of our clan... As for now, let's go together and see what that thing that caused the heaven and earth to tremble really is."
The void shattered, and the two walked into the spatial rift.
...
In the Demon Flame Space, Nether Lotus Demon Flame also sensed the anomaly of heaven and earth. Although he had not reached Nine-Star Dou Saint and was still far from it, since the second Nether Lotus Demon Flame was born, he, the original existence that occupied the 'Nether Lotus Demon Flame' position, naturally wouldn't have no reaction at all.
He only felt that the entire heaven and earth implicitly repelled him, and malice came from all directions.
A voice kept echoing in his mind, urging him to go somewhere to destroy something.
Nether Lotus Demon Flame had also encountered this situation for the first time and felt inexplicably irritable. He rushed towards the sky, condensing flame long spears, constantly bombarding the space above.
The space shattered and quickly healed, and the shattered areas could not connect to the outside World, only leading from one part of the Demon Flame Space to another.
Nether Lotus Demon Flame had done this more than once in the past few millennia, knowing it was futile, but the irritation in his heart made him restless, and he vented his almost uncontrollable desire for destruction in this way.
"Nether Lotus Saint, I hate you!"
"I hate it!"
One after another, resentful and malicious roars echoed in the Demon Flame Space.
...
In the deepest part of the Jia Nan Academy's underground Magma World, within the Ancient Emperor Cave, Emperor Grade Pill's expression subtly changed.
He gazed at the void, his eyes slightly puzzled.
Just now, he had vaguely sensed something, but under the Ancient Emperor Cave's shielding, this sensation flashed by and was extremely faint.
...
A layer of dark, oppressive dark clouds hung over Fiery Flame Amon, the clouds so thick it felt as if one could reach out and touch them.
Electric snakes surged and weaved through the clouds, not ordinary silver-white lightning, but golden ones! Those bolts of lightning were none other than the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, the most powerful among lightning tribulations!
Just a ripple of it could scare a Five Star Dou Saint-level Xiao Yan into scurrying away with his head in his arms!
Fiery Flame Amon looked at the lightning in the sky and 'tsk'ed: "What are you hesitating about? Are you going to strike or not?"
Although the lightning tribulation had gathered, it had been slow to descend. Even with the Nether Lotus Demon Flame body, Amon brazenly released his aura and the milky-white flames, yet the Nine Profound Golden Lightning never struck him.
"Heh... It seems I'm not your target... Leandro was much more decisive than this." He curved his lips, pulling out a wide smile.
The lightning tribulation was here to destroy the newborn Heavenly Flame, not Amon!
Nether Lotus Demon Flame and Void Swallowing Flame could not have a second one born on the Dou Qi Continent, possessing 'uniqueness'. Amon, however, was a being directly nurtured by the entire Dou Po series of universes, and no second one would be born, also possessing 'uniqueness'.
Heavenly Flame Amon was also categorized within the overall mass of Amon; he was a part of Amon as a whole!
Amon exploited a bug, using his own higher-level 'uniqueness' to override the Dou Qi Plane's 'uniqueness' of the Nether Lotus Demon Flame.
Therefore, in the lightning tribulation's judgment, there was only Amon here, no Heavenly Flame.
It seems the exploit was successful. Later, he could use the same method to create a 'Void Swallowing Flame'...
He looked at the gathered lightning tribulation. The Plane Will had begun to recede, but the energy did not dissipate quickly, still existing in the form of Nine Profound Golden Lightning.
Pinching his monocle, Amon chuckled: "This cannot be wasted."
He slowly extended his right hand.
A translucent, ethereal giant hand, as if capable of encompassing heaven and earth and shattering mountains and rivers, appeared in the sky.
The giant hand's palm faced upwards, making a grasping motion.
The terrifying thundercloud, containing hundreds of Nine Profound Golden Lightning bolts, was held in his hand... Without the control of the Heaven and Earth Will, this was a chaotic mass of ownerless violent energy.
If this power were to be unleashed all at once, Amon's main body would be shattered.
But being ownerless also meant chaos; they were disorderly, releasing in various directions, and also staggered in time.
This gave Amon some room to maneuver, allowing him to guide, differentiate, and control them.
Amon used the Invisible Hand to distort and cut space, temporarily sealing them away.
After he devoured Zhu Kun and became a Nine-Star Dou Saint, how to acquire more energy became a problem, a significant factor limiting the number and strength growth of his avatars.
This 'gift' from heaven and earth relieved him of this worry.
After refining this energy, the Amon Clan would truly grow stronger!
Becoming a super clan whose overall strength was no less than that of the Soul Clan or Ancient Clan, and they would be more united, with a more unified will, and more efficient in their actions!
Sealing this terrifying energy, which could easily turn several Nine-Star Dou Saint into dust, pushed Amon's main body to its limit. Just moving them was no small burden.
The commotion here was too great, and he worried about attracting Gu Yuan and Soul Emperor, so after retrieving Fiery Flame Amon, he immediately withdrew from the scene.
