The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 1243: Void Devouring Flame and Emperor Soul (Updated last night)
This is a somewhat dark space, with black mist filling the sky, and the cold power permeating every part of this space.

In the depths of this space, outside a dark palace, a figure was sitting cross-legged in the void. In his body, pitch-black flames continuously seeped out. From a distance, it looked like a black hole, continuously devouring everything between heaven and earth.

Outside the dark temple, countless people looked up and looked at the figure with fanatical eyes.

Suddenly, the void squirmed, and black clouds emerged. Finally, they spread out at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the top of the mountain.

The black clouds condensed and transformed into a middle-aged man in black. With the appearance of this man, a low humming sound suddenly spread between heaven and earth, like the wailing of a soul.

"Hunxuzi, I greet Lord Xuwu. May I ask Lord Xuwu if the clan leader has come out of seclusion?"

The figure lowered his body and bowed slightly to the figure shrouded in black flames in front of him as a sign of respect.

Hunxuzi, the Hun clan's number one alchemist, a seven-star fighting saint, inherited the Void Devouring Flame Fire, a fellow who betrayed his teacher and ancestors.

When Zhongzhou Danta was at its peak in the past, it had a Nine-Star Fighting Saint in charge, and was ranked alongside the Fenyan Valley as the most powerful sect in the world, able to contend with the top imperial clans such as the Ancient and Soul clans.

However, such a force suffered a major change under the planning of the ancient imperial clan, and the Hun clan played a leading role in it. In that major change, Hunxuzi was a very key figure.

He became a disciple of the Danta Patriarch and was carefully cultivated by him, but he harbored evil intentions and kept leaking Danta's intelligence, which led to the ambush of Danta's strong men. In the end, the Nine-Star Fighting Saint Patriarch was also ambushed by him and died from his injuries.

After Danta was no longer a threat, Hunxuzi returned to the Soul Clan and was reused. His cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and he is now a seven-star Douluo, almost the third most important person in the Soul Clan. He leads the work of collecting souls. It can be said that the establishment of the Soul Palace was under his direct leadership.

"Hunxuzi, what happened?"

As Hunxuzi spoke, the figure sitting cross-legged in the void spoke.

Countless Soul Clan warriors lowered their heads at this moment, only because this supreme Lord Void was the source of their bloodline's prosperity, and he did not like too much attention from outsiders when he spoke.

Void Devouring Flame, the second-ranked strange fire on the Strange Fire List, is one place higher than the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. This mysterious strange fire is only heard of by the most powerful people in the Douqi Continent. It is said that it has never been tamed by anyone.

This fire is born from nothingness, has no form to be found and no shape to be grasped, and can be considered a rather strange existence.

The Void Devouring Flame, known as the thing that devours the heavens and the earth, possesses the ability to devour everything. Between heaven and earth, only a handful of things can resist that devouring power.

The third on the list of strange fires was the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, the legendary Nine Mysterious Golden Thunder. In terms of power, they might be able to fight against the Void Devouring Flame, but they could not defeat this strongest strange fire. This was because... this strange fire itself was the most top-notch Nine-Star Dou Sheng in the world.

That's right, the Fire Spirit of Void Devouring Flame has already cultivated to the level of a Nine-Star Douluo. In this era, its cultivation is second only to the two Half-Emperors of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. It is the most top-notch existence between heaven and earth.

At this moment, the most top existence in the world, the key figure in the continuation of the Soul Clan's imperial bloodline, spoke. Hunxuzi, who was only at the seven-star Dousheng level, immediately bowed and prepared to answer.

"Xuwu, Hunxuzi, what happened..."

Suddenly, a voice was heard in the dark hall, and then the space rippled, a vortex slowly formed, a slightly slender hand stretched out first, and a figure slowly walked out, and finally appeared under the gaze of everyone. At this moment, all the strong men of the Soul Clan unconsciously felt their blood vessels throbbing, bowed their heads, and showed a gesture of submission.

The figure who walked out of the whirlpool was dressed in gray and white. He looked to be about thirty years old, with a handsome face and a pair of extremely bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

The first impression this person gives is that of a refined temperament. If he were holding a book in his hands, he would probably look like a teacher.

However, this man who looks as weak as a scholar is the leader of the Soul Clan who is feared by countless people. He personally destroyed the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago, and planned the decline of Danta and Fenyan Valley. He is the peerless devil who caused bloody storms everywhere in the Douqi Continent, the Soul Emperor.

On the top of the mountain, a figure stood with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the Void Devouring Flame in the sky and just smiled faintly.

Emperor Hun Tian, ​​dressed in white, looked extremely out of place in this dark and gloomy space. However, no one questioned his out of placeness. Everyone looked at him with eyes filled with fanaticism and awe.

Emperor Hun Tian took a step forward and appeared in front of Void Devouring Flame in the sky. He carefully looked at the latter and then smiled and said, "Not bad. After so much trouble and such a long period of transformation, you finally broke through to the Nine-Star Fighting Saint."

When facing Emperor Hun Tian, ​​Xu Wu Tun Yan's attitude was slightly more relaxed. He said, "Now that your injuries have healed, it's time for us to consider the next plan. The spirit race has been weak for so many years and is on the verge of exhausting the emperor's blood..."

"Well! Then let's set the next target as the spirit race. Pick a good time and notify the Soul Palace to prepare intelligence."

"By the way, how are the souls collected by the Soul Palace? If we want to complete our plan, we need you to make another breakthrough, preferably to the Emperor Realm..."

When Emperor Hun Tian mentioned the word "Emperor Realm", a hint of hidden fear flashed across his eyes, and Xuwu Tunyan's eyes became fiery when he heard that.

The next moment, their eyes were all focused on Hunxuzi.

Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult for a spirit of heaven and earth like Void Devouring Flame to cultivate its soul to the emperor realm.

Fortunately, the Soul Clan had already had a plan. Over the past thousand years, the Soul Palace has been dispatched everywhere to capture soul bodies and refined a lot of soul essence in preparation for that grand plan.

"Master Xuwu, Master Clan Leader, something happened... The Soul Palace was destroyed..."

Hunxuzi was being stared at by the two top bosses of the Soul Clan. Even though he was a seven-star Douluo, he felt his scalp tingling. But since things had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and tell them what happened.

At this moment, the expressions of Xuwu Tunyan and Hun Tiandi changed.

Void Devouring Flame was dissatisfied. He had done so many things for the Soul Clan and helped the Soul Clan's imperial bloodline to continue to this day. Naturally, he had his conditions and needs. Otherwise, even someone as powerful as Emperor Soul could not force him to do anything for the Soul Clan.

Now, when he saw the dawn of a soul breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, this Hunxuzi actually said that the Soul Palace had been destroyed. Was he sure that this was not a deliberate attempt to trick him?

On the other side, Emperor Hun Tian looked at Hun Xuzi with extremely cold eyes. This bastard who betrayed his teacher and ancestors actually called Xuwu Tunyan "Sir" just now. It turned out that he had been planning to betray his own people!
