The Void trembled. Gu Yuan, with his boundless Soul Power, forced his way in, using the instantaneous, immeasurable spatial fluctuations to pinpoint the Soul Realm.
Immediately, he led his group inside. In the Soul Hall, including the Dou Sheng who had come to reinforce them, everyone was utterly confused, not understanding why the previously arrogant Gu Yuan had suddenly fled.
Only that Dou Sheng, seeing that a long time had passed after he crushed the Teleportation Talisman and no one had arrived, vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
In the Soul Realm, Hun Tiandi heard Gu Yuan's words, which were completely different from his usual domineering tone. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze flickered. Gu Yuan seemed serious.
Because he saw the people behind Gu Yuan, among whom was Gu Lie, a Nine Star Dou Sheng. In his eyes, Gu Lie was an Ant, but in the eyes of the other Soul Clan members, he was a Fierce Tiger. If they fought, the Soul Clan would definitely gain no advantage.
He sighed inwardly, scrutinizing Gu Yuan as if seeing him for the first time. He hadn't expected that Gu Yuan, who had always been quite a Slacker and Lacking Ambition, would suddenly go mad. After this incident, regardless of how the battle between the two clans unfolded, it had directly disrupted his plans – the Soul Clan's Strength had been exposed. From now on, he could no longer stir up trouble as he had before.
Combining this with the information reported by his Clan members earlier, Hun Tiandi had a guess about Gu Yuan's intentions. However, he was truly curious as to when Gu Yuan had gained such courage. He questioned him with a shout:
"Gu Yuan, what do you intend by bringing them to my Soul Realm?"
There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in his voice, as if as long as Gu Yuan couldn't give him a clear reason, he would immediately attack and let Gu Yuan know the consequences of offending him.
"Hun Tiandi, asking the obvious isn't your usual style. I truly didn't expect you to have done so many things over the years. You certainly have good abilities! However, since you don't want me to have an easy time, don't expect to either."
Gu Yuan didn't want to say more and directly made his move.
He hadn't expected that in a Thousand Years, the Soul Clan had not only recovered their vitality but also become much stronger than before, capable of secretly embedding so many people within his own Clan.
Moreover, if there were so many people from the Soul Clan embedded within the Gu Clan, there would likely be even more in the other clans. Perhaps, had some of the other clans' Geniuses also perished because of this?
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's heart was filled with coldness. If this were true, then what Hun Tiandi was plotting was definitely not small.
He had indeed been too arrogant, daring to not take seriously those at the same level as himself, and even once thought that everything Hun Tiandi did was useless effort.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan completely discarded his indifference and attacked without reservation. What he was thinking now was not just to use the excuse of the Soul Clan attacking his Gu Clan's Beloved Daughter to strike at Hun Tiandi. Now, he no longer dared to regard Hun Tiandi as someone who was obsessed with becoming a Dou Di.
Even if he was destined to be unable to become a Dou Di due to the lack of that special energy, even without considering these factors, Hun Tiandi was still an Overlord. This time, he was lucky.
Hun Tiandi saw Gu Yuan's palm strike. Beneath his palm, an extremely violent Spatial Energy was brewing. He was slightly startled. If it were his past self, he would definitely not gain any advantage from this attack.
He seemed to understand why Gu Yuan dared to come and find trouble with him so grandly. Just as a mortal with a sharp weapon develops a killing intent, Gu Yuan's Strength similarly allowed him to transform from his original laid-back attitude to his current decisiveness.
"I didn't expect you to have reached this step as well. No wonder you have the Confidence to come and trouble This Seat. Unfortunately, you didn't make your move a Thousand Years ago. After this, you are destined to never be able to suppress This Seat again."
He praised Gu Yuan, then his voice suddenly rose, laughing:
"You are improving, and This Seat has also not been idle. Today, your calculations are destined to fail!"
Before his voice fell, an invisible ripple suddenly spread out beside Hun Tiandi, making him look somewhat ethereal. The next moment, Gu Yuan's attack abruptly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan was also somewhat surprised, then chuckled lightly:
"Heh heh, don't show off your Insignificant Tricks. Who do you think I am?"
If it were someone else, and this attack was devoured, it would truly be unable to pose any threat to Hun Tiandi, because the gap between them and Hun Tiandi was too great. They couldn't even understand Hun Tiandi's methods, let alone deal with them.
But he was Gu Yuan. His Strength had already surpassed the Dou Sheng Realm. He also knew the methods that Hun Tiandi used. He slightly curled his five fingers, and that Space immediately froze, then was directly cut off by him as a whole piece and smashed towards Hun Tiandi.
This time, that Space merely flashed before arriving in front of Hun Tiandi and exploding with a bang. The next moment, a burst of spatial energy, as explosive as Fire, rushed towards Hun Tiandi, enveloping him within it.
In an instant, the area where Hun Tiandi was located exploded under that energy, leaving no intact place.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan felt no joy at all. He knew that although his attack was fierce, it was not enough to injure Hun Tiandi. If it were really that simple, the Soul Clan would have been annihilated by him during these Thousand Years.
Indeed, in just a single breath, the explosive, fire-like Spatial Energy completely disappeared. Hun Tiandi, covered in surging Black Flame like a demon god, appeared there.
"Nihility Devouring Flame, so you've subdued it."
Gu Yuan only took one look and recognized the constantly surging Black Flame. About eight hundred years ago, he had encountered the Nihility Devouring Flame. Although he injured it, it still escaped relying on its Nihility characteristic. Since then, he had never seen it again. He hadn't expected it to have been found by Hun Tiandi.
Until now, he didn't know that the Nihility Devouring Flame had cooperated with Hun Tiandi with the intention of Feigning Compliance and Bargaining with a Tiger, and then, due to carelessness, allowed Hun Tiandi and Zhao Li to meet, find the Route to greatly increase their Strength, and then be devoured.
Therefore, he also didn't know that Hun Tiandi already knew there was still a possibility of becoming a Dou Di within the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Legacy, and that he had personally destroyed the Stone Clan and taken the Ancient Jade they preserved.
If he knew those things, he wouldn't just think Hun Tiandi was lucky.
"Compared to your Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, how is my Nihility Devouring Flame?"
Hun Tiandi smiled faintly, looking at Gu Yuan. In the attack just now, he had felt the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame's characteristic of burning everything. He subconsciously assumed that the Gu Clan's Legacy Flame was on Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan watched as the distorted Space enveloped him, sensing the ubiquitous Devour force within it. His expression was also solemn. In this spatial Domain, Hun Tiandi could continuously draw energy from within the Realm to replenish his state, but his enemy had to be distracted. With one increasing and the other decreasing, the difference was quite significant. Even Gu Yuan had to be cautious.
He felt the somewhat familiar structure within it, and his heart stirred:
"So he also found the opportunity for a breakthrough from Zhao Li. It seems this Domain Space should have originated from his final move during that battle. I didn't expect that just by gaining a little insight from him, our Strength, which had been stuck for countless years, would achieve Further Advancement. I really don't know what Realm he himself has reached. Dou Di?"
