301: Go for broke!

In the spatial passage, boundless darkness was as thick as ink, seemingly capable of devouring all light.

Violent spatial turbulence howled past, and from time to time, sharp spatial fragments tore through the Void Realm, emitting piercing shrieks.

Amidst this, a massive figure of black flame was traversing at an extremely fast speed.

The Void Swallowing Flame, usually so arrogant, now appeared utterly disheveled.

Its black flame-wreathed body was covered in wounds of all sizes, and black flames occasionally overflowed from the wounds, as if it could collapse at any moment.

And in its profound, black hole-like eyes, flashes of pain and fury flickered, clearly indicating that the previous battle had put it through immense suffering.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

"Detestable Gu Yuan!"

The Void Swallowing Flame's angry roar echoed through the spatial passage, shaking the surrounding space.

Its massive body trembled violently, and each time it spoke, a large amount of black flame spewed from its mouth, leaving strange traces in the Void Realm.

"Such a perfect plan, yet it was detected by the Ancient Race right at the beginning."

The Void Swallowing Flame gritted its teeth, its voice filled with unwillingness and vexation.

It had originally thought this operation was flawless, and that even the old man Gu Yuan couldn't have detected it so quickly.

Unexpectedly, just as the plan began, Gu Yuan arrived at the scene with that junior, catching it off guard.

It was obvious.

If the news hadn't leaked in advance, how could Gu Yuan have coincidentally appeared at the Spirit Devouring Clan at that very moment?

This matter must have been leaked from within the Hun Clan.

Thinking of this, a sinister glint flashed in the Void Swallowing Flame's profound eyes.

"Hun Tiandi, I told you long ago not to trust your useless subordinates too much!"

"When too many people know about something, there's bound to be a risk of leakage!"

The next moment, the Void Swallowing Flame turned to look at the Hun Tiandi beside it, its voice carrying a hint of blame.

The Hun Tiandi's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

A powerful pressure instantly emanated from the Hun Tiandi.

Seeing this, the Void Swallowing Flame quickly closed its mouth.

Clearly, the Hun Tiandi was naturally displeased by the Void Swallowing Flame's accusation!

But he quickly regained his composure.

As the Hun Clan's leader, the Hun Tiandi knew this was not the time to argue.

Especially since the Void Swallowing Flame was still useful!

The two traversed the spatial passage, with spatial rifts occasionally appearing around them, emitting a heart-pounding hum.

Violent spatial turbulence, like invisible blades, continuously impacted their bodies.

Finally, after a long journey, a faint light appeared ahead... the Soul Realm.

A deep valley, surrounded by mountains as black as ink, seemed isolated from the world.

The entire architectural complex was pitch black, exuding a sinister and eerie aura, as if it could devour all light.

Countless lifelike Soul statues stood in the plaza in front of the main hall, each one so vivid it seemed as if it could come alive at any moment.

Sinister and terrifying ghost fires occasionally drifted across the sky, adding a touch of gloom to the area.

The figures of the Hun Tiandi and the Void Swallowing Flame emerged from a spatial rift and landed inside a large hall in the center.

The interior of the hall was spacious, with countless strange Soul artifacts hanging on the surrounding walls, emitting a faint blue light.

The Hun Tiandi slowly walked to the throne and sat down, his gaze sweeping over the Void Swallowing Flame's scarred body, his brows slightly furrowed.

That's right!

This time, the Hun Clan suffered a great loss!

And there was no telling when the Void Swallowing Flame's injuries would heal.

"This matter is more complicated than it seems."

"It's certainly impossible for our clan's internal members to leak the plan."

The Hun Tiandi said in a deep voice, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Upon hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed in the Void Swallowing Flame's profound, black hole-like eyes.

Just as the Void Swallowing Flame was about to retort, the Hun Tiandi raised a hand to stop it.

"The most important thing now is how to protect you!"

The Hun Tiandi's voice became solemn.

"Gu Yuan was right before; if your Spirit Devouring Clan abilities are exposed, the other Ancient Race on the Fighting Qi Continent will absolutely stand against my Hun Clan without hesitation."

"After all, no one can tolerate the continued existence of something that can plunder other people's Bloodline Power on the Fighting Qi Continent. The major Ancient Race will besiege you just as they gathered to besiege the Spirit Devouring Clan back then!"

With that, the Hun Tiandi crossed his hands on his lap, staring at the Void Swallowing Flame with piercing eyes.

Upon hearing these words, the Void Swallowing Flame's massive body trembled slightly, and a complex expression flashed in its profound eyes as it stared intently at the Hun Tiandi.

"This..."

"You wouldn't be planning to hand me over to preserve your Hun Clan, would you?"

The Void Swallowing Flame was clearly stunned.

If the Hun Tiandi were to kick it while it was down at this moment, given its current heavily injured state...

"If I truly intended to do that, I wouldn't have shown up just now, letting Gu Yuan..."

Upon hearing this, the Hun Tiandi's face showed a hint of displeasure. A sharp glint flashed in his profound, abyss-like eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"I... I naturally trust you."

"Then what do we do next?"

Upon hearing this, the Void Swallowing Flame's massive body relaxed slightly.

It gave the Hun Tiandi a complex look, its voice carrying a hint of helplessness.

"Given the circumstances, we can only have that kid Miesheng work harder to gather enough Soul Origin, hoping it can help you advance to the Emperor Realm Soul!"

The Hun Tiandi pondered for a moment, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

That's right!

In fact, the Hun Tiandi had just considered holding back Gu Yuan and letting the Void Swallowing Flame eliminate everyone in the Spirit Devouring Clan to silence them. In that case, relying solely on the Ancient Race's word wouldn't convince many people.

It was a pity that the Void Swallowing Flame was already severely injured before he arrived.

Even if he stalled Gu Yuan, he might not be able to eliminate everyone in the Spirit Devouring Clan.

The Hun Clan had clearly underestimated their opponents this time; who would have thought the Ancient Race would intervene at such a moment?

If they had truly done that at the time, the Ancient Race would have been able to arrive very quickly.

Furthermore, since the Spirit Devouring Clan's space was not sealed off, eliminating everyone in the Spirit Devouring Clan was clearly not feasible.

"Hmm, as long as I step into the Emperor Realm Soul, I'll be able to hold back that old man Gu Yuan!"

The Void Swallowing Flame nodded in agreement, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in its profound eyes.

Lei Realm, the Holy Land of the Ancient Lei Race.

The scenery here was completely different from an ordinary world.

As far as the eye could see, there were strange silver-glowing trees everywhere—the Lei Race's unique silver trees. These silver trees not only continuously supplied Lei Realm Power to the world but were also important resources for the Lei Race's Cultivate.

The branches of the silver trees forked and twisted like lightning, and their leaves were serrated, shimmering with a silver-blue light. As the breeze swept through, the leaves collided, emitting soft crackling sounds, as if countless tiny electric currents were flowing.

The entire silver forest exuded a heart-palpitating pressure that ordinary people could not approach.
