Yao Dan, who was controlling the grand formation, stared intently at the figure that resembled a demon god, his heart suddenly pounding violently.
The black-clad figure didn't speak, but simply waved his sleeve at the large formation below...
The towering black flames surged violently, eventually transforming into a dense rain of black fire that swept down upon the great formation.
"Chichi!"
As the black fire rain dripped down, bursts of white mist erupted from the great formation. Everyone could feel that the energy of the great formation was being devoured by the fire rain.
"Medicine Clan, surrendering still offers a chance of survival. Your Medicine Clan still holds some value to us."
Under the black rain of fire, the lush mountains turned withered and yellow almost instantly, as if all life had been swallowed up.
At the same time, a hoarse, soul-chilling voice slowly emerged from the black figure.
"Trying to devour my Medicine Clan won't be that easy!"
As Yao Dan felt the aura that made even his heart tremble, he roared fiercely with a ferocious expression.
"All pills transform into the heavens; in the name of pills, the progenitor returns to his rightful place!"
"Crash!"
As his stern shout fell.
A vortex appeared in the center of the Medicine Clan's grand formation, with endless liquid energy surging in...
At the same time, an extremely ancient aura slowly emanated from the vortex and then quietly dissipated. Immediately afterwards, a phantom old man dressed in coarse linen clothes appeared in this world.
"This is... the Medicine Emperor?" Feeling the terrifying pressure that almost made them kneel down, not only Su Lingyin, but all the other survivors were dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that the Medicine Clan's last trump card was actually summoning the remnant soul of a Dou Di...
Although it was just a remnant soul, it was still a Dou Di after all... Ordinary people, even Dou Sheng experts, would not be able to withstand such a terrifying pressure in the face of such a scene!
"The trump cards of these ancient races are truly terrifying. Do you think that Void Devouring Flame can stop this remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor?" Su Lingyin's shock was still clearly visible as she turned to look at Ye Chen, who remained calm, and asked.
"You're wrong. It should be whether the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor can withstand the Void Devouring Flame..."
Even the remnant soul of a Dou Di expert, after countless years, how much power can it still exert? Besides, this Medicine Emperor's remnant soul doesn't seem to be as strong as the Star Emperor's clone that I encountered back then.
Therefore, these are all minor matters for Ye Chen...
Su Lingyin looked completely disbelieving at Ye Chen's words.
But the result was a huge surprise to her and everyone else, because the Void Devouring Flame was just a single strike that made the remnant soul's form become somewhat illusory.
More importantly, the medicine pills and the members of the medicine clan who were responsible for controlling the great formation could not withstand it...
"Alright, it's our turn to make a move..." Seeing that the great formation was about to break, Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he directly ascended into the sky.
Chapter 522 Taking Chestnuts from the Fire
Blood-red light instantly obscured the entire sky.
The massive tremor caused everyone to temporarily lose their hearing, except for those bloodshot eyes that remained fixed on the scene in the sky.
"boom!"
An indescribable and terrifying energy surge swept wildly from the sky...
Under such a terrifying impact, the ancient figure became increasingly illusory.
"Oh no! The great formation is about to break..."
Countless horrified eyes watched all this unfold; death had already befallen them.
In the center of the great formation, the illusory old man dressed in coarse linen clothes looked at this scene and sighed softly, his murmurs echoing in everyone's ears.
"Alas, it seems this calamity is still unavoidable..."
As the sound faded, the almost unsustainable remnant image of the Medicine Emperor suddenly burst out of the great formation, transforming into a streak of light that pierced through the black flame clouds at a speed exceeding the speed of light, finally plunging into the Void Devouring Flame's body...
"Peng!"
The two collided with only a dull thud.
However, the original body of the Void Devouring Flame trembled violently, and then some angry voices rang out: "You... damned old ghost, disappear into the world!"
Black flames erupted from its body in a devastating torrent, followed by a faint sound, as if a soul were shattering...
The sound wasn't loud, but all the members of the Medicine Clan froze at that moment. They could feel something quietly slipping away from their bloodlines.
"Ancestor..."
With bloodshot eyes, Yao Dan stared blankly at the sky; the last vestige of his faith crumbled at that moment…
With the formation broken, everyone was instantly exposed to the terrifying threat of the Void Devouring Flame.
Ye Chen arrived in mid-air and stood side by side with Shennong.
At this moment, both of them were protected by strange flames, making them the only two people unaffected by the boundless, ethereal flames...
Oh, that’s not actually right.
Because Su Lingyin was also unaffected at this time, and this was without Ye Chen's protection from the strange fire.
However, at this moment, no one in the room noticed this unusual event...
"Senior Shennong, what are your plans next?" Ye Chen asked with a serious expression.
The old man Shennong glanced at the young man, but he didn't underestimate him in the slightest because of his age, after all, he had just been defeated by him...
"To break through this Void Devouring Flame, we alone probably can't do it. The Medicine Clan needs to make a choice..."
Although Shennong did not say it explicitly, his meaning was already quite clear.
If Ye Chen could see this, then the members of the Medicine Clan could naturally see it too.
"All members of the Medicine Clan, now is the time for the life and death of our Medicine Clan, and we only have one way out: to fight with everything we have to preserve our bloodline!"
"All elders, follow my lead!"
As Yao Dan's final, fierce shout fell, countless figures surged forth from the ground, disregarding everything else.
Among them were not only the elders of the Medicine Clan, but even the younger generation of the Medicine Clan rushed forward with red eyes...
They understood that if they couldn't survive this calamity, the Medicine Clan would truly disappear completely from history!
"kill!"
Gazing at the densely packed figures soaring into the sky, Yao Dan's body trembled, unleashing a torrent of battle qi.
A massive, thousand-foot-long beam of battle aura roared out, accompanied by countless terrifying attacks, as it hurtled toward the Void Devouring Flame in the sky.
"A good opportunity!" Ye Chen's eyes flashed as he watched the battle unfold.
He took a step forward, pointed his fingertip at the sky, and a massive black vortex appeared in the sky above the Medicine Realm…
"what?!"
This sudden turn of events surprised everyone, including Hunxuzi, Shennong the Elder, and even Yaodan, who had been fighting desperately.
Although the Soul Clan clearly intended to wipe out everyone in the Medicine Realm today, apart from the Medicine Clan as the masters, no one else chose to lend a hand.
Yao Dan could have thought of this as well, so he never intended to have these people take action from the beginning.
His best-case scenario was that, through his desperate struggle against all the powerful members of the Medicine Clan, he could carve out a path to survival, and then, out of consideration for past relationships, those people would help preserve a sliver of the Medicine Clan's bloodline...
However, Ye Chen's sudden move completely exceeded everyone's expectations!
Rumble!
Amidst the earth-shattering commotion, a massive fire array, nearly ten thousand feet in size, emerged from the black hole in the sky.
Similarly, beneath Ye Chen's feet, a fire array of the same size melted the earth, revealing its true form...
"This is... the Demon Flame Space, the Ancient Refining Heaven Array?!"
Once the two enormous fire formations, one above the other, were fully revealed, many people recognized their name.
"The Refining Heaven Ancient Formation? How is this possible! Isn't this an unparalleled formation that only the Pure Lotus Demon Saint could set up? How could this kid control it?" Hun Xuzi roared angrily, and a trace of fear could be detected in his roar.
Although everyone present knew that Ye Chen had subdued the Pure Lotus Demon Flame in the Demon Flame Space, no one expected that he not only obtained the Demon Flame, but also the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's Refining Heaven Ancient Array!
But isn't this the ultimate technique of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint? Even the Pure Lotus Demon Flame only managed to grasp some of the power of this great formation after thousands of years of comprehension.
How did Ye Chen manage to collect and carry such a terrifying array, and even control it at will?
Of course, the truth of all this remains unknown.
The moment the Heaven-Refining Ancient Formation was completed, the entire ten-thousand-foot area of the Medicine Realm was under Ye Chen's control...
In the sky, Hun Xuzi stared at the terrifying array that filled his eyes, and his face turned completely gloomy.
He already felt immense pressure facing the Medicine Clan's madness, not to mention that Lord Void had just been tricked by the remnant image of the Medicine Emperor and suffered some injuries...
"You hold off their formation first. I'll deal with these mad dogs from the Medicine Clan before I take care of this guy."
Beside Hun Xuzi, the Void Devouring Flame, its entire body enveloped in black flames, emitted that still emotionless, cold voice.
"Yes, Lord Void!"
Although he felt it was a bit tricky, Hun Xuzi immediately agreed.
Moreover, in Hun Xuzi's mind, although he didn't know how Ye Chen had done all this, he believed that with his cultivation as a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, he could hold him off without any problem.
The Void Devouring Flame that finished speaking did not...
As for what Xinhun Xuzi would do, all that could be seen was his hand, covered in strange runes, extending from the black flames, and then rapidly forming hand seals...
The next moment, the black flames that almost covered the entire space began to churn violently, eventually forming a massive black hole vortex tens of thousands of feet wide, from which an indescribable and terrifying devouring power surged forth.
"Boom!"
Under such terrifying devouring force, the earth within tens of thousands of miles began to crack, and huge fissures thousands of feet long spread out from the ground, covering this vast area like hideous wounds.
"Heh heh, Ye Chen, is it? Don't think you're something just because you managed to refine a ninth-grade Xuan Pill by chance. Daring to interfere with my Soul Clan's grand plan, today I'll let you taste the consequences!"
With a roar, Hun Xuzi launched a direct palm strike at the Heaven and Earth Array...
Ye Chen smiled coldly, his hand seals changing rapidly. Then, the two great fire arrays of heaven and earth began to rotate simultaneously, and a massive burst of milky white flames erupted, directly swallowing Hun Xuzi along with his attack into the array space!
"We've been waiting for you, you old codger..."
"Clan Chief Yaodan! I'll deal with Hunxuzi. You all find a way to break through the Void Devouring Flame's blockade!"
Ye Chen's shout brought a smile to the faces of many members of the Medicine Clan.
Although they still face the most terrifying enemy, the Void Devouring Flame, with Ye Chen sharing the burden, they are more confident in preserving the hope of the Medicine Clan!
Similarly, the Void Devouring Flame, which had just blocked all the attacks from the Medicine Clan, took two steps back. After hearing Ye Chen's voice, its two black eyes couldn't help but look at him.
"Very well, you are indeed much stronger than the Spirit Race and the Stone Race. However, this still cannot change your final fate..."
As the hoarse voice of the Void Devouring Flame faded, the black flames that filled the sky suddenly began to slowly descend, forming round objects resembling wombs...
Black flames swirled around the sphere, and faint streaks of blood-red light quietly seeped out from the black flame clouds, eventually entering the embryos.
"Bang! Bang!"
As the blood-red light surged in, the countless black flame embryos all exploded, and the next moment, a series of shrill and piercing screams echoed through the sky...
Countless black flame shadows poured down from the sky like a torrential rain, finally surging wildly towards the mountains below.
Upon witnessing this scene, the expressions of everyone in the mountains changed drastically.
Seeing the strange thing rushing towards them, everyone hurriedly circulated their fighting spirit to prepare to defend themselves.
However, just as their fighting spirit was rising, a black light flashed before their eyes, and then many of them felt a pain in their chests as a huge blood hole appeared, with blood and internal organs spurting out!
"What the hell is this thing?" someone couldn't help but scream in terror.
These eerie black shadows also have human-like appearances, but their sharp claws and indistinct, abstract heads prove the difference between them.
"Be careful! These things can devour human flesh and even battle qi!" Shennong shouted a warning immediately after killing the black shadow that rushed up.
However, the number of these things seems almost endless. Even if a strong person can hold them off for a while, they will inevitably fall victim to them as these things keep coming one after another.
Once you're attacked by them, death is the only outcome...
"The Devouring Spirit Clan! How could such a race still exist? Weren't they completely wiped out in ancient times?" Yao Dan grabbed a black flame creature in his hand, examined it for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly narrowed as he gasped for breath.
"The Devouring Spirit Clan?"
When this name was mentioned, some people were puzzled, but others' expressions changed completely.
