A vast soul, thousands of feet long, seemed to hold heaven and earth in a cauldron. Countless beings in the Medicine World trembled beneath that figure. The terrifying pressure made them feel as if they were looking up to a being of a higher order.
"Damn it!"
Void Devouring Flame sneered. In that instant, it realized that Chen Guan had not only broken through to the Emperor Realm Soul Realm, but his strength was also far beyond the nominal Five-Star Dou Sheng. The terrifying aura he exuded was surprisingly no less powerful than that of a Medicine Pill!
With such a realm, coupled with an Emperor Realm Soul Realm, he posed a formidable threat, no less formidable than Lei Ying and Yan Jin!
"Keep killing! No one will escape alive until the Medicine Clan is destroyed today!"
With a furious roar, Void Devouring Flame's palm, covered in strange runes, suddenly emerged from the black flames and formed a series of hand seals with lightning speed.
In an instant, the black flames that obscured the sky and sun surged violently. A massive black vortex, tens of thousands of feet across, formed behind Void Devouring Flame. As the vortex took shape, an indescribably terrifying devouring force erupted with overwhelming force.
"Boom!"
Under this terrifying devouring force, the Medicine Realm seemed to have ushered in its end. Mountains instantly collapsed, the earth cracked, and massive cracks a thousand feet long spread from the ground, crisscrossing like hideous wounds, covering the entire Medicine Realm.
"Together, stop it!"
"Friends of the Ancient Dragon Clan, please lend us a hand. If Void Devouring Flame regains its strength, we will all die!"
Lei Ying and Yan Jin also took action at this moment. Although they didn't know Void Devouring Flame's intentions, such a terrifying movement was definitely not a good omen.
The two clan leaders roared out, but unfortunately, they couldn't reach Void Devouring Flame. Hun Shengtian, Hun Yuantian, and Hun Yao had already heard the sound and took action.
Three living dead might be inferior to two in a one-on-one fight, but three against two would easily overwhelm them.
After all, these three had long disregarded life and death, attacking without restraint.
"Xiao Jiu, support us two!"
Great Elder Zhu Kong regained his composure and glanced at Chen Guan, who was in top form behind him. Unfazed by his concern, he gave instructions and immediately charged towards Void Devouring Flame with Elder Zhu Wen.
A melee erupted again!
Despite Void Devouring Flame's immense power, he was no longer at his peak. Holding off the two elders alone proved a struggle, not to mention the need to guard against Xiao Jiu's occasional thundering attacks. For a moment, even someone as powerful as Void Devouring Flame was at a slight disadvantage.
This outcome was difficult for Hun Qianmo and the others to accept, especially Void Devouring Flame.
"Ancient Dragon Clan! You're courting death! I grant you this!"
Void Devouring Flame roared, its black flames suddenly surging, sending the three retreating.
The next moment, from the vast vortex behind Void Devouring Flame, the sky filled with black flames suddenly slowly descended into spherical objects resembling embryos. Black flames swirled above the spheres, and faint streaks of blood quietly seeped out from the black flame cloud, finally piercing the embryos.
"Bang! Bang!"
As the blood light surged in, the dense mass of black flame embryos suddenly exploded. Suddenly, a series of shrill and piercing cries echoed through the sky. A dense mass of black flame shadows poured down from the sky like a torrential rain, finally surging madly towards the mountains below.
Seeing the dense mass of black flame shadows rushing down from the sky, everyone in the mountains paled, and they hurriedly activated their Dou Qi to defend themselves.
However, just as the Dou Qi was rising, a black light flashed before their eyes, and many people suddenly felt a pain in their chests. Looking down, they saw a huge bloody hole in their chests, and blood and internal organs spurted out!
"Ah!"
"These things can devour human flesh and blood, even Dou Qi!"
"No!"
The people on Medicine Mountain were in such a state, and the Yao Clan members outside of the mountain were now powerless to resist. All were ravaged, and shrill screams echoed throughout the Medicine Realm.
"Soul Devouring Clan!!!"
Yan Jin and Lei Ying each grasped a black flame shadow in their hands. They felt a wave of fear as they gazed upon the monsters, which possessed human bodies but had sharp, beast-like limbs and eyes as hollow and crimson as they could see.
Seeing these monsters, all their doubts were cleared up.
No wonder the Soul Clan's Dou Emperor bloodline showed no signs of weakening!
No wonder the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan had all vanished!
This was all the result of the Soul Clan's shocking conspiracy!
"Become my power!"
The frantic voice of Void Devouring Flame echoed, and a strange and terrifying scene unfolded throughout the Medicine Realm. Millions of pitch-black energy bodies rose from all sides of the Medicine Realm, converging towards the vortex behind Void Devouring Flame.
It's unimaginable how powerful Void Devouring Flame would become if it absorbed such a vast amount of energy. It would undoubtedly restore it to its peak state!
A horrific massacre awaited them all!
"Stop him!"
Yan Jin and Lei Ying's eyes blazed red, regretting their inability to split up. Otherwise, even at the cost of self-destruction, they wouldn't hesitate a moment.
After all, their clan's greatest genius was now within this medicine world!
Elders Zhu Kong and Zhu Wen heard their cries, but their faces remained expressionless. Instead, they stopped Xiao Jiu, who was about to launch another attack.
Though shocked by this scene, they had been mentally prepared.
Ignoring the screams, the two elders looked up at the towering figure in the sky.
At this point, their mission was essentially accomplished.
The rest...
"Master Kong, Master Wen, Xiaojiu, come back. Leave the rest to me."
The giant soul body suddenly opened its eyes, its calm voice echoing through everyone's ears, carrying an indescribable imperial majesty that calmed their restless hearts.
Chen Guan, seated cross-legged on a high platform, formed seals with his hands, and his body, supported by a mysterious force, ascended into the air. The soul body, thousands of feet tall, also formed seals simultaneously.
Instantly, the energy of heaven and earth raged, stirring up waves of energy. These waves gathered and surged, gradually forming a massive energy vortex a thousand feet across, hovering above Chen Guan's head.
Then, everyone was stunned to perceive an unparalleled devouring and purifying force emanating from the vortex.
Instantly, all of it converged towards the Void Devouring Flame. As if drawn, the vast energy began to split at a visible speed, half entering the black flame vortex behind the Void Devouring Flame, and the other half merging into Chen Guan's head!
"Master Kong, Xuandan!"
Elder Zhukong didn't hesitate. A flash of light shot out, swallowed by Chen Guan.
Two strange fires, the power of millions of Yao Clan members, a ninth-grade Xuandan!
Fueled by this immense energy, Chen Guan's aura soared at a terrifying rate, and in an instant, he had broken through the Eight-Star Dou Sheng barrier!
"Chen! Guan!!!"
A furious roar suddenly rang out, as if emanating from the depths of the underworld. Never before had anyone imagined a voice so cold, a rage so intense that it must have wanted to slaughter its opponent a thousand times over, and yet still it wouldn't suffice.
Void Devouring Flame's eyes were completely furious. It had never imagined that such a shameless person could exist in this world. It had shouldered all the sins, yet now, they were blatantly jumping out to take advantage of it!
"Die!"
Void Devouring Flame's rage soared to the heavens. Black flames that obscured the sky suddenly roared out, transforming into giant dragons a thousand feet tall, sweeping towards Chen Guan.
"Dragon Roams the World!"
"Dragon Spear!"
"Soul Storm!"
Simultaneously, the two elders, Zhu Kong and Zhu Wen, joined Chen Guan in attacking.
The two elders alone could have stopped the Void Devouring Flame at this point, let alone the addition of Chen Guan, an eight-star Dou Sheng, an Emperor Realm soul!
With the combined power of the three, the sky-widening black flames were shattered layer by layer, unable to approach within a thousand feet of Chen Guan.
"My strange fire is now no less powerful than yours!"
The giant soul body smiled. As he spoke, a stream of emerald green strange fire surged from Chen Guan's body below.
The cyan flames surged against the wind, reaching a thousand feet high. In the blink of an eye, they devoured and assimilated the scattered black flames, filling half the sky.
"Void Devouring Flame, accept your fate!"
With those words, Chen Guan's soul body suddenly dissipated, and with the power of his Emperor Realm soul, he merged with the strange fire, penetrating every pore and enveloping the Void Devouring Flame. It quickly transformed into a boundless inferno, blocking all escape routes for the Void Devouring Flame!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn the Ancient Dragons! Damn Chen Guan!"
Void Devouring Flame roared, launching a frantic counterattack the moment it sensed Chen Guan's movements.
Unfortunately, this wasn't just a clash between it and Chen Guan's alien fire; the threat of three eight-star Dou Shengs loomed nearby, leaving Void Devouring Flame unable to fully resist the cyan alien fire's encirclement. It could only watch helplessly as it was trapped while the power of millions of Medicine Clan members was increasingly devoured by Chen Guan.
The situation was becoming dire!
"Xiao Jiu, help Lei Ying Yan Jin and kill those men!"
"Alright!"
With the greatest threat, Void Devouring Flame, suppressed, the situation on the field immediately became clear.
As Xiao Jiu attacked, even Elder Shennong, atop the platform, joined the fray, determined to vent his anger.
"Hahaha, little friend, you kill Hun Qianmo first, we can hold back these three monsters!"
Seeing the balance of victory turned, Yan Jin and Lei Ying were extremely happy, and for a moment they fought for their lives and forcibly restrained Hun Shengtian and the other three.

They cared more about the geniuses within their clan than themselves. They held the future of their clan, and no mistakes were possible.
Without the Eight-Star Dou Sheng to stop them, no one on the vast battlefield could
stand up to Xiao Jiu. Hun Qianmo could have led the Soul Clan's mighty warriors to crush Gu Nanhai's men, but upon seeing Xiao Jiu and Elder Shennong charging towards him, he immediately abandoned his advantage and launched into a full-scale defense. It
was a wise decision.
Unfortunately, his Six-Star Dou Sheng strength was a major drawback. Faced with sheer power, no matter how decisive he was, he could not escape mortal destruction. He barely resisted for four or five rounds before, thanks to Elder Shennong's spiritual intervention, he was struck by a golden lightning bolt from Xiao Jiu, instantly annihilating him!
If Hun Qianmo was in such a state, how could those zombie-like Soul Clan warriors be a match for him?
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle led by Gu Nanhai was over.
"Ah!"
With a delicate cry, Xiaojiu unhesitatingly joined the battle between Lei Ying and Yan Jin.
Elder Shennong, Gu Nanhai, Lei Dong, and the others also supported them from afar, each unleashing their own methods to attack Hun Shengtian and the other two.
Even ants can kill an elephant, let alone those who survived. With their help, the pressure on Lei Ying and Yan Jin was greatly reduced, and they were finally able to turn the tide. They beat Hun Shengtian and the other two to the point of being unable to raise their heads, suffering repeated wounds.
At this rate, their utter destruction was only a matter of time.
Time ticked by, and the protracted battle lasted for nearly half an hour.
Chen Guan and the other two steadily suppressed Void Devouring Flame. His aura continued to rise, and the color of the strange fire grew increasingly verdant. The encirclement formed by the strange fire continued to shrink, now forming a fiery prison thousands of feet in size.
Trapped within it, Void Devouring Flame roared and raged continuously, fighting a frantic battle like a trapped beast, the energy of heaven and earth exceeding its supply.
At this moment, everyone felt that victory was within reach.
However, Chen Guan did not let his guard down. He knew better than anyone the terrifying power of the Void Devouring Flame. If it had not devoured the Medicine Realm first and been injured by the Medicine Emperor's remnant soul, coupled with the fact that he had forcibly plundered the energy of millions of Medicine Clan members, preventing the Void Devouring Flame from recovering, even if everyone attacked together, they would at best be able to protect themselves.
At this moment, the Void Devouring Flame seemed trapped in a situation where it was being boiled like a frog in warm water. A single moment of carelessness could easily
lead to all their efforts being wasted. Therefore, Chen Guan neither rushed nor slowed down, preferring a cautious and slow pace to never give it a chance to counterattack!
Elsewhere,
under the siege of hundreds of men, despite being eight-star Dou Shengs, each possessing a Gate of Deathly Silence, Hun Shengtian, Hun Yuantian, and Hun Yao were now in dire straits. Their bodies were nearly shattered, and the three of them were no longer human.
They were no longer normal people. In such a desperate situation, the three of them felt no fear of death, only a deep resentment.
"The Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, the Ancient Dragon Clan! I hate them!"
"How can our clan's thousand-year plan be thwarted here!"
The cries were heartbreaking, yet no one showed any sympathy, only spurring them on to an even more frantic attack.
However, the furious crowd hadn't anticipated the frenzied final counterattack of Hun Shengtian and the other two.
In their final moments, the three, without hesitation, lunged at Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Xiao Jiu.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Six deafening explosions echoed in quick succession.
The three Gates of Death were gone.
Hun Shengtian, Hun Yuantian, and Hun Yao were gone too.
The terrifying energy aftermath surged and spread like a tsunami. Fortunately, Lei Dong, Huo Xuan, and the others had been attacking from a distance; otherwise, the explosion would have wiped out the entire army.
Even so, the hundreds of men in the group were injured, and over a dozen perished in the aftermath.
"Cough cough..."
"Puff!"
Lei Ying and Yan Jin appeared one after another at the center of the explosion, their appearance truly miserable.
Half of Yan Jin's body was nearly shattered, one arm missing, bone and flesh exposed, his internal organs faintly visible. His face was devoid of any color, and his aura had plummeted to its lowest point, as if the slightest breeze could blow him down.
"Clan Leader!"
"Clan Leader!" Huo
Xuan and Huo Zhi, unconcerned with their own injuries, flew over, shoving precious elixirs into Yan Jin's mouth without paying, fearing that the pillar of the clan was gone.
Lei Ying's condition was slightly better, by comparison.
But it was only marginal.
At least he hadn't lost any limbs and still appeared intact.
But his aura was comparable to Yan Jin's.
"I won't die!"
Lei Ying tried to show off, supporting Lei Dong who had flown over. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he began to spew mouthfuls of blood.
The detonation of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng and the Gate of Death was incredibly powerful. Their survival was a testament to their immense strength and swift reaction.
"Where's the other one?"
Fewer than a hundred people survived the Medicine World.
Seeing Lei Ying and Yan Jin, some quickly thought of the girl at the center of the explosion. Seeing no other presence there, they all fell silent.
The two Eight-Star Dou Shengs had nearly perished, so the Seven-Star Dou Sheng girl must have already…
They thought this in their minds, but when they turned to look at the remaining battlefield, they were stunned.
The girl they'd thought was dead was now being held by the elder of the Ancient Dragon Clan, patting her chest repeatedly, her face adorably awed by the lingering fear.
Suddenly, a revelation struck everyone.
That's right.
This is a member of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Others might not have escaped unscathed, but the Ancient Dragon Clan, from beginning to end, had always been an exception.
After swallowing a large number of pills, Yan Jin and Lei Ying finally stabilized. Though still frail, they at least stopped spitting blood.
Supported by the younger members of the clan, the two clan leaders arrived a hundred feet away from Chen Guan.
"Thank you so much, young friend, and the Ancient Dragon Clan, for your assistance this time. Without it, we would all be trapped here," Lei Ying said with a weak bow.
Yan Jin followed suit with a single-handed gesture of greeting. "To be honest, we're both at our wit's end... ahem... it's not an exaggeration. While we'd like to, we're powerless... to help you suppress this Void Devouring Flame."
Upon hearing this, Chen Guan's gaze swept across, finally resting on Yan Jin, Huo Xuan, and Huo Zhi.
"When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain unbroken. I'm only hoping for a glimmer of hope. This medicine world has been isolated in a strange place by the Void Devouring Flame. If we don't defeat it, none of us can escape, and none of us can survive. Clan leaders, don't be careless. The crisis isn't over yet."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the Void Devouring Flame, thrashing and roaring frantically within the azure prison. Their hearts, just barely relaxed, began to lift again.
This was the real problem!
Taking in their expressions, Chen Guan smiled.
"Everyone, the Void Devouring Flame is too terrifying. Even if the two elders and I give our all, we can't completely seal and suppress it. However, I do have another method that will solve the problem once and for all. Whether it succeeds depends on the Yan Clan's willingness to help."
As Chen Guan spoke, many were secretly trying to break through this space.
Unfortunately, even the currently powerful Ancient South Sea couldn't shake it in the slightest.
This undoubtedly confirmed Chen Guan's words: only by defeating the Void Devouring Flame could they escape.
Accepting the reality, Yan Jin expressed his attitude with a serious expression.
"Just ask, young friend. Anything my Yan Clan can do to help is always welcome."
Chen Guan smiled faintly upon hearing this. "It's simple. I'm planning to devour and refine the Void Devouring Flame right now, but relying solely on my current Strange Fire, it's extremely dangerous to accomplish this."
"So, I'd like to borrow your Strange Fire!"
