238: The gaze of soul-destroying life!

After breaking through to the Early Stage of a Five-Star Dou Sheng, Gu Fei still did not leave his quiet room.

Instead, he took out the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal he had previously obtained from Yao Ming, along with many precious Spirit Medicines, intending to refine Medicinal Pills.

This time, the Medicinal Pill Gu Fei wanted to refine was a ninth-grade Medicinal Pill, the Nine Yin Yellow Springs Pill.

This Medicinal Pill would be of great use for the impending descent of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

On the day the Medicinal Pill was completed, black clouds filled the sky.

However, the emergence of a ninth-grade Medicinal Pill no longer caused too much surprise among the Gu Clan members.

Gu Fei was already familiar with confronting the Black Demon Lightning and felt no pressure.

"Collect!"

In the sky, Gu Fei opened a jade bottle and, with a suction, pulled the escaping Medicinal Pill into it.

The powerful suction instantly drew the Medicinal Pill, which had the ability to transform, into the jade bottle.

Inside the jade bottle, Medicinal Pill clouds swirled.

A dark red Medicinal Pill quietly floated above the Medicinal Pill clouds.

Waves of unusually cold Qi slowly emanated from within the jade bottle.

Within a ten-zhang radius, ice shards continuously fell from the sky.

"The Nine Yin Yellow Springs Pill has been refined; now, we just wait for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to descend..."

Gu Fei's eyes were filled with fervent anticipation.

He was determined to obtain the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame...

A few months later, an Elder of the Gu Clan arrived at Gu Fei's mountain Peak.

"Young Clan Leader, there's a celestial phenomenon in the Western Regions: nine stars forming a single body, with two moons appearing simultaneously!" the Gu Clan Elder said respectfully.

"A celestial phenomenon has appeared; it seems the Seal set by the Demon Saint is about to weaken!"

Upon receiving the news, Gu Fei immediately set off from the Ancient World, accompanied by Gu Nanhai. As for the other younger generation, at Gu Fei's suggestion, none were allowed to go.

"Boom!"

When the nine brilliant stars in the starry sky aligned into a straight line,

the entire world immediately experienced a strong energy fluctuation.

Immediately, countless strange mists emanated from the void.

Faintly, the sound of surging waves could even be heard from between heaven and earth.

"Heaven and Earth Tide... It's exactly as the ancient map predicted."

Gu Fei appeared outside the Ancient World, looking up at the faint mist that permeated the entire world, muttering to himself.

Even from such a distance, Gu Fei could feel that the surrounding temperature was higher than usual.

"Elder Nanhai, let's depart immediately!" Gu Fei's voice fell, and he opened a spatial wormhole and stepped into it.

Although Gu Fei had reached the Five-Star Dou Sheng stage, at present, people from other clans were unaware, so Gu Fei suppressed his cultivation aura to the Peak of a Four-Star Dou Sheng. This way, he would not violate the clan pact.

The reason he only allowed Gu Nanhai to accompany him was that Gu Fei understood that in the upcoming competition, having more people was useless; those with lower strength would only become cannon fodder.

After Gu Fei's departure, throughout the Central Plains, within various major sects and powerful factions, large groups of figures soared into the sky at this moment.

Other Ancient Races were no exception.

Their destinations were astonishingly consistent, all pointing towards the northwest of the Central Plains!

In just one night, the entire Central Plains was in turmoil...

"Whoosh!"

Above the sky, the sound of rushing wind suddenly grew loud, as two figures flew from the distant horizon.

"We're about to enter within a thousand li of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's descent..."

Gu Fei looked up, gazing at the dazzling strong light that continuously emanated from the distant front, like a blazing sun.

As they drew closer, waves of terrifying high temperatures also assailed them.

"As expected of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame; just the residual heat it emits makes it so difficult for those Dou Zun above six stars to resist..." Elder Nanhai's gaze swept over some figures behind him, sighing with emotion.

A Six-Star Dou Zun was considered a top-tier expert on the continent.

Yet, such strength could only resist the residual heat emitted from afar by the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

This shows just how terrifying the Purification Lotus Demon Flame truly was.

Ten minutes later, Gu Fei and Gu Nanhai finally gradually arrived at the area where the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was descending.

This place, which was once towering mountains, was now merely a milky-white desert.

A terrifying temperature steamed up from the desert, causing the space within several thousand li to appear distorted.

"Such a terrifying Purification Lotus Demon Flame..." Gu Nanhai looked at the vast desert that appeared before his eyes, his face filled with shock.

In the distant sky, the space there had already fractured, and milky-white light poured out from the fractured space.

"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame has not fully broken free from its Seal; these milky-white lights are merely some of its residual heat..." Gu Fei said softly, watching this scene.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Not long after Gu Fei and the other appeared above this desert, sounds of rushing wind also continuously came from all directions.

Figures stopped far away from the fractured space.

Their gazes, all tinged with a hint of shock, looked at this milky-white desert.

"Chirp..."

As Gu Fei and Gu Nanhai quietly waited for the space to rupture, a patch of space not far away suddenly began to undulate.

Immediately, dense black mist permeated out from within the space, covering the sky and earth.

A powerful aura silently spread, immediately drawing all eyes in this area of the world.

Under everyone's gaze, after a moment, the black mist slowly dispersed, and several figures gradually appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"Hall Master of the Soul Hall?"

Looking at the black-robed figure, radiating a terrifying aura, who was at the head of those few people, many top experts on the Central Plains narrowed their pupils.

One of them, dressed in a black robe, had an unremarkable face, appearing as ordinary as any common person.

However, it was such an ordinary figure that, at this moment, caused the vast majority of those present to hold their breath.

Hall Master of the Soul Hall!

Those simple four words carried an extremely terrifying reputation. In those days, this Hall Master of the Soul Hall had once massacred dozens of sects overnight.

That night, blood flowed like rivers.

Five experts who had reached the Two-Star Dou Sheng stage all met their ignominious end at his hands.

That night established the notorious reputation of the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and also made the Hall of Souls the overt overlord of the Central Plains; even the Pill Tower dared not easily oppose him!

"Soul Mie Sheng!"

At this moment, Gu Fei's gaze was also fixed on that figure, but it was very calm, completely different from how those around him looked at Soul Mie Sheng.

Soul Mie Sheng seemed to have noticed something as well.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes, like ancient wells without ripples, looked towards Gu Fei.

"Gu Fei!"

After clearly seeing Gu Fei's face, even a prominent figure of the Central Plains like Soul Mie Sheng subconsciously showed some apprehension in his eyes.
