297: Gu Yuan appears, crisis resolved!

At this moment, in the sky.

As space rippled, three figures slowly appeared.

In an instant, the light and shadows in the sky were like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

The one leading them was Gu Yuan, dressed in a luxurious long robe, his Aura as majestic as a mountain.

Behind Gu Yuan, Gu Fei and Ling Xi followed closely, their expressions solemn.

Void Swallowing Flame's massive black-flamed body trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his deep, black-hole-like eyes.

"Gu Yuan? How did he get here?"

Void Swallowing Flame's low, hoarse voice was filled with disbelief.

This sudden turn of events instantly froze the entire battlefield.

The Ling Clan members, who had already despaired, looked up, and the flame of hope reignited in their eyes.

The name Gu Yuan, in today's Fighting Qi Continent, was like an insurmountable Peak, representing the supreme power of the Gu Clan.

Ling Yan's pale face instantly flushed, and a hint of excitement flickered in her eyes.

That's right!

Just now, the entire Ling Clan had prepared for death.

Now, Gu Yuan's arrival made the Ling Clan Chief let out a long sigh of relief.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan!"

Ling Yan's petite body trembled slightly.

The other Ling Clan Elders were also ecstatic, as if they had grasped the last straw of hope.

They knew that as long as Gu Yuan made a move, the Ling Clan's crisis today could be resolved.

The look of triumph on Hun Xuzi's face instantly vanished, replaced by deep shock and fear.

"It's really him."

"Impossible! Our actions were clearly incredibly secret, how could Gu Yuan have gotten the news so quickly?"

The next moment, a hint of panic flashed in Hun Xuzi's sinister eyes.

"Gu Yuan, how did you know about this?"

Void Swallowing Flame's massive body slowly turned towards Gu Yuan, his voice tinged with shock.

It was clear that Void Swallowing Flame's imposing Aura from earlier had instantly weakened by several points.

He was clearly very wary of Gu Yuan.

"Your Hun Clan dares to do it, yet you're afraid of people knowing?"

Gu Yuan coldly swept his gaze over Void Swallowing Flame, a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth.

This single sentence choked Void Swallowing Flame, leaving him speechless.

"Spirit Devouring Clan? I didn't expect the disgusting ability of this clan to reappear on the Continent!"

With that, Gu Yuan's gaze fell upon the black-flamed creatures on the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Void Swallowing Flame, that time, I let you off with your life. This time, I will not give you another chance..."

Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his surrounding Aura erupted, like a volcano about to erupt.

Void Swallowing Flame felt the astonishing killing intent from Gu Yuan, and his heart trembled.

"Hmph, I am a spiritual entity of heaven and earth. You, with just your power, think you can kill me? Do you think I still have the same strength as back then?"

The next moment, Void Swallowing Flame quickly steadied his mind and let out a cold snort.

Before he finished speaking, Void Swallowing Flame suddenly extended his palms.

In an instant, monstrous black flames erupted, sweeping over like a vast ocean. The terrifying suction force surged from his body, as if to devour the entire world.

"Then I'll have to see how much you've improved over the years..."

Facing this world-shaking scene, Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes even carrying a hint of playfulness.

When the black-hole-like suction force enveloped them, everyone held their breath. Even Gu Fei and Ling Xi had solemn expressions, not daring to act rashly.

However, the next moment, a scene that stunned everyone occurred.

Gu Yuan's figure remained still, but a vast, ocean-like Dou Qi erupted from his body. This power was mixed with terrifying Soul impact, sweeping out like crashing waves.

"This move is only good for scaring juniors!"

"Your power of devouring is useless against me!"

Gu Yuan's faint voice sounded, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

The enveloping black flames were as fragile as paper in front of this power, instantly shattered into pieces.

Countless fragments of black flames scattered in the air, like a bizarre black rain.

Immediately after, Gu Yuan raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread, and swung it fiercely.

The next moment, a brilliant golden energy orb instantly condensed in his palm.

That energy contained a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation, as if a volcano was erupting in his palm.

"Boom!"

Gu Yuan struck with his palm, and the golden light orb streaked across the sky like a meteor, directly attacking Void Swallowing Flame.

Void Swallowing Flame's massive body, under this single palm strike, was uncontrollably sent flying backward, heavily crashing into a distant mountain Peak. The towering mountain instantly collapsed, dust rising everywhere, a spectacular sight.

"As expected of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak!"

Gu Fei watched Gu Yuan effortlessly repel Void Swallowing Flame, his heart filled with shock.

He deeply felt how vast the gap was between his current self and Gu Yuan.

The Ling Clan members were even more stunned by this scene.

They never expected that Void Swallowing Flame, who was as terrifying as a demon god in their eyes, would be so vulnerable in front of Gu Yuan.

"Damn it! If only I had entered the Emperor Realm Soul now!"

Void Swallowing Flame struggled out of the ruins, his heart filled with unwillingness.

He recalled how the destruction of the two main halls of the Hall of Souls earlier had greatly affected the speed of his Soul Origin accumulation.

Later, the Hall of Souls instigated a war in the Northwest Continent, intending to harvest Souls, but was also thwarted by the Gu Clan. All of this made him progress slower and slower towards the Emperor Realm Soul.

Gu Yuan did not give Void Swallowing Flame a chance to breathe. His figure flickered, instantly appearing in front of Void Swallowing Flame.

"Die!"

Gu Yuan roared, and golden light burst forth from his body. Every strike he made contained world-destroying power, and Void Swallowing Flame retreated steadily under this storm-like attack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With several consecutive loud bangs, Void Swallowing Flame's massive body was riddled with holes. Black flames continuously overflowed from those wounds, as if he could collapse at any moment.

"Lord Void!"

Hun Xuzi's face was filled with terror as he watched this scene.

He knew very well that if Void Swallowing Flame were killed, the Hun Clan's grand plan would be completely ruined.

However, at this moment, Hun Xuzi was powerless. He could only watch helplessly as Void Swallowing Flame was suppressed by Gu Yuan. That feeling of powerlessness made him feel deep despair.

But the pressure emanating from Gu Yuan made Hun Xuzi understand a fact!

That is, he absolutely could not move recklessly at this moment!

Even if he moved a little, he would die and his Dao would vanish!!!

Thinking of this, Hun Xuzi's body trembled slightly.

"Boom!"

Just as Gu Yuan was about to strike Void Swallowing Flame again, a huge spatial rift suddenly tore open beside Void Swallowing Flame.

The next moment, a huge black palm emerged from the ink-black rift.

This huge black hand collided violently with Gu Yuan's golden palm print in mid-air.
