The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 1260: Emperor Ling is still alive, but someone is waiting behind
In Zhongzhou, within the spiritual world where the spirit race resides, countless people looked up at the sky in fear. The figure surrounded by black flames looked like a demon god that was out to destroy the world.

There was a flash of black light in the sky, and millions of Eldar people dodged in fear, but there was nowhere to escape.

The black flames were endless, seeping out from the nothingness in the spiritual world on which they depended for survival, spreading across the sky and covering the entire world.

The sky was dark and the sun was dim.

The black flames covered the sky and the sun, and the entire spiritual world was shrouded in it. Under the cover of the black flames, everyone in the spiritual world felt that the power in their bodies was gradually dissipating. There was an invisible force that was constantly devouring their fighting spirit, blood, origin... everything.

Countless people were terrified and confused, yet they were powerless because they had no right to resist. The enemy was too powerful and terrifying.

In every corner of the spiritual world, there are floating black flames that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. These flames, which look like tiny dots of black light, are like a thorn in the flesh, falling little by little on the bodies of millions of descendants of the imperial families in the spiritual world, eroding their cultivation and finally devouring everything.

This strange power is extremely terrifying and difficult to deal with. Even if a Dou Sheng uses his Dou Qi to cover his body for defense, it is still ineffective. The black flames will ignore most defenses when they come into contact with them and melt in silently.

If you look at the spiritual world from the perspective of the Douqi Continent, you will find that the entire mysterious world is enveloped by a strange black flame, with only a small piece of spiritual light left, still resisting stubbornly.

Above the sky, a black flame slowly squirmed and slowly condensed into a figure. He was surrounded by black flames, and strange black runes covered his body. His pair of eyes were like black holes, filled with a terrifying devouring power.

Due to the cover of black flames, the face of this figure was a little unclear, but when it appeared, an extremely ancient and strange aura filled the space between heaven and earth.

"Woooo..."

Along with the appearance of this black flame figure, the strange black flames all over the sky and ground made a humming sound, as if they were welcoming their leader and master.

"Void Devouring Flame, Soul Clan, if you attack my Spirit Clan, you will definitely be attacked by all the Imperial Clans..."

The Fighting Saint of the Spirit Clan recognized this figure and cursed in grief and anger. Looking back a thousand years ago, their Spirit Clan was still quite powerful. Although they were no match for the Soul Clan at that time, they were not as vulnerable to being slaughtered as they are today.

If they had known this day would come, they should have stood on the side of the Xiao clan and first wiped out the Hun clan, which was scheming and plotting.

"Hehe... the curse of the weak is meaningless..."

Void Devouring Flame slowly lowered his head, looking at the mountain range that was rippling with a strong spiritual light, and with a wave of his sleeves, the raging black flames violently surged up and finally turned into dense black fire rain, which descended towards the spiritual light like an all-encompassing blanket.

"Your Spiritual Clan's bloodline is exhausted, and you are no better than the Xiao Clan in the past. The Xiao Clan at least dared to fight bravely, and gathered the remaining emperor's blood to create Xiao Xuan who almost surpassed the divine level. But your Spiritual Clan can only die slowly and weaken to the current level. How much power does the remaining soul of Emperor Qu Ling still have..."

Void Devouring Flame spoke with disdain, and as fire rain fell from the sky and spiritual light filled the formation, the already illusory afterimage rippled and became even more unstable.

His pair of pupils, like black holes, stared at the phantom. After a moment, he let out a sigh with inexplicable meaning, "What a pity! The Spiritual Emperor who dominated the ancient times is now only a remnant soul, and even his soul body cannot be condensed. How long can he delay..."

"The Spirit Race..."

The phantom called the Spirit Emperor looked at the millions of people being gradually devoured by the black flames, and his eyes became more spiritual, revealing a trace of sadness and anger. But his anger could not change the outcome. The Spirit Clan's Emperor Blood was almost exhausted, and the entire clan had no high-level Dou Sheng. In addition, the response after being attacked was not thorough enough, and the residual soul of the Spirit Emperor summoned was too weak.

In this situation, Void Devouring Flame doesn't even need to waste the blood of the spirit people it has swallowed to attack the remaining soul of the Spirit Emperor. He can use his own strength to wipe out the remaining soul of the Spirit Emperor bit by bit.

Millions of descendants lost their fighting spirit and strength little by little, and finally even their blood was devoured. They are also descendants of the spirit race and descendants of the Spirit Emperor. Their unwillingness and resentment are naturally sensed by the Spirit Emperor.

"no……"

The shadow of the Emperor Ling tried to save people, and as he continued to release spiritual light, the black flames from the outside world that continued to devour energy were indeed forcibly dispersed.

However, Void Devouring Flame still had the upper hand. He looked at the struggling Spirit Emperor's remaining soul and said coldly, "Spirit Emperor, you no longer have complete memories. Your remaining soul is in a state of confusion. You are no better than a puppet. At this point, what qualifications do you have to resist?"

There was no reverence for the emperor in his words. He just stretched out his hand, and pointed his finger covered with black runes downwards.

"boom!"

When Void Devouring Flame pointed this finger, the most critical mountain range in the spiritual world suddenly collapsed and the ground cracked, and a huge black flaming finger fell from the sky.

With one finger, the mountains and rivers were shattered. The heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas were all shattered under this one finger.

A black finger dropped from the sky, and the shadow of the Spiritual Emperor burst into a dazzling spiritual light. The black flame collided with the spiritual light, and the Void Swallowing Flame was unharmed, but the shadow of the Spiritual Emperor faded a little, obviously consuming a lot of energy.

"You are just an incomplete remnant soul. How many times can you stop me?"

Void Devouring Flame's attack did not work, but instead made him more confident. His fingers shattered the void one after another, and the earth shook in an instant. Several giant fingers fell from the sky, bombarding down one after another.

Black flames burst out from the body of the Void Devouring Flame. Countless black flames covered the sky and the earth like a tide, competing with the spiritual light until the end, gradually submerging the spiritual light. The remaining spiritual light was like a candle in the wind, trying to resist with all its might, but it was powerless.

Finally, accompanied by a sound as if the soul and the world were shattered, the shadow of the Spiritual Emperor dissipated between heaven and earth, and the purest bit of the Spiritual Emperor's blood also fell to the earth.

Void Devouring Flame looked down and sneered, "You are just a mere spirit race. Even the Dou Emperor's bloodline is about to be completely exhausted. The residual souls you summoned are not very effective. What are you still resisting for..."

Just when Void Devouring Flame was about to completely eliminate the remaining resistance of the elves and refine all the creatures in the entire spirit world, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, as if there was a familiar breath fluctuation.

"Hey!"

The sealed world of the spiritual world was suddenly torn apart, and a giant hand dropped from the sky.

When the sudden incident happened, no one noticed that a figure quietly sneaked into the spiritual world, stole the spiritual light of the Spirit Emperor who fell to the earth, and even swept away countless books that the spirit race had treasured for countless years.
