Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 622 The Witch Who Brings Calamity to the World
Upon hearing this, Hun Miesheng hesitated for a long time before finally nodding.

"As Your Majesty has said."

As Hun Miesheng finished speaking, the already dimly lit hall was suddenly engulfed in darkness, and a strange flame the size of a palm quietly rose from his hand.

The flames were pitch black, and with the flickering sparks, one could vaguely make out the shape of a distorted human face with gaping, bloody mouth. A single glance at it would be enough to plunge one into the abyss.

“This is the Earth Fire,” Hun Miesheng explained.

As the second-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, the power of the Void Devouring Flame is far beyond what ordinary Strange Flames can even dream of.

Not only is its physical structure almost identical to that of living beings, but even the conception of fire is a trivial matter for it.

Therefore, among the high-ranking members of the Soul Clan, the possession of the Void Devouring Flame by Zi Huo is obviously no secret, and most of them have even obtained the power of the Void Devouring Flame to some extent.

Hun Ruoruo's ability to determine that she possesses Earth Fire is likely based on this guess.

After all, even if the young lady and her father are very similar, it's impossible for her to be so powerful as to know everything about him, the dignified Lord of the Soul Palace.

Thinking of this, Hun Miesheng actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate that he had not been truly seen through by the other party.

Dealing with this family is indeed far more terrifying than slaughtering a Venerable or destroying a Holy City.

He gazed at the girl lost in thought before him, considered for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, this ball of earth fire was bestowed by the Void Devouring Flame itself. Even the clan leader could only suppress it with his cultivation. With your current cultivation level, it would be best not to come into contact with it."

“Give me a portion of it,” Hun Ruoruo suddenly said after a moment of contemplation.

Soul Extinction: "?"

It took Hun Miesheng a long while to recover from his shock, and he frowned as he spoke:
“Your Majesty, the Earth Fire is not like ordinary fire. It already possesses a trace of the primordial power of the Void Devouring Flame. Even if a part of it is separated, its power level far exceeds the limit that a Dou Zun can withstand. What you are doing is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned.”

He saw through Hun Ruoruo's purpose.

The reason why the other party went to great lengths to obtain information about the Void Devouring Flame, and even asked him to part with a wisp of his fire essence, was that he wanted to try to refine it!
You should know that Hun Ruoruo already has a strange fire in her body. To accommodate another strange fire is more difficult than ascending to heaven, let alone one of them being the Void Devouring Flame.
Such a crazy act would be something even a fire-attribute Dou Sheng would never dare to try, let alone Hun Ruoruo, who doesn't even have a trace of fire attribute in her body.

Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't.

Hun Ruoruo pursed her red lips and smiled sweetly: "If I can't do things that exceed your understanding, what makes me worthy of being your ruler?"

Her crimson lips were alluringly blood-red in the dim light. The girl's voice was calm and gentle, but the light in her eyes pierced Hun Miesheng's mind, causing him to feel a slight sense of disorientation.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly stopped. Hun Miesheng did not say much. He raised his hand and separated a spark of fire from the sub-fire, respectfully presenting it to the girl and kneeling on one knee.

"I will obey Your Majesty's command." Hun Miesheng lowered his voice.

Hun Ruoruo smiled brightly: "Now we're all in this together!"

She nimbly walked past the man's tall figure, leaned down with her back to him, and whispered, "However, once you're on my ship, whether you succeed or not, there's no turning back."

A faint, ethereal sound rang out. When Hun Miesheng stood up again, the girl's figure had already vanished into thin air.

"."

Gazing at the empty Hall of Soul Reapers, Hun Miesheng fell into a long silence.

Only when the sunlight once again streamed into the hall did he finally raise his head slowly, his gaze turning to the illusory sun on the dome with a complex expression.

The girl back then, no matter what she did, only wanted to escape the constraints of her identity and to ensure the safety of the people she cherished.

Now, however, she can calmly accept her destiny and even work with the Soul Palace, whom she once considered her enemy, without batting an eye.

In just a few days, she went from being the beloved Holy Maiden of Yin Valley to a Soul Clan witch with the potential to overturn the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty."

"What kind of monster have you given birth to?"

Even he, caught in the grand scheme of things, was not entirely free to act as he pleased.

Inside the training room, a strange, cold glint flashed in Hun Ruoruo's eyes as she gazed at the tiny, human-faced flame before her.

"This is the origin of the Void Devouring Flame."

Once upon a time, Hun Ruoruo actually possessed the sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame.

However, compared to now, she was far too weak back then, and the grade of her sub-fire was only human level, which was far from comparable to the ball of fire given to her by Hun Miesheng.

"If you want to establish your own power in the Soul Clan, you must not be controlled by the Void Devouring Flame. Not only me, but all the subordinates and servants you recruit in the future must break free from this constraint. Otherwise, all your efforts will just be a wedding dress for the other side."

“At that time, not only will my plan fall through, but I’m afraid my father will also be affected. Obviously, we can’t do something that would aid the enemy.”

After a moment's hesitation, Hun Ruoruo quickly realized that she had no way out—

If you want to recruit forces, you are destined to face the Void Devouring Flame.

How powerful is the Void Devouring Flame? It is no exaggeration to say that it alone is enough to easily crush all the other existing strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking.

One against twenty-one, and he was more than capable.

Hun Ruoruo even suspected that even without using the cultivation of the main body, the countless sub-flames that the opponent split off would be enough to fight the other strange flames to a standstill.

In other words, each of its clusters of fire is no less powerful than a real, extraordinary fire!
"To break free from the control of the Void Devouring Flame, the Burning Technique is definitely the best choice, but the Burning Technique is a cultivation method, not a combat skill. Even I only possess a trace of primordial power, so it's even more unrealistic to expect my subordinates to cultivate it."

Hun Ruoruo's delicate eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly, as if she were trapped in a strange cycle.

"If there were a secret treasure that could break the control of the Void Devouring Flame without changing the cultivation method, this problem would naturally be solved. But does such a secret treasure really exist in this world?"

The reason why Void Devouring Flame can control bloodlines is simply because of its unique law of devouring.

There are only three ways to break free from this control:
Firstly, it possesses strength surpassing that of its original form.

For example, with his father's peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng cultivation, the Void Devouring Flame was naturally helpless against him.

Secondly, it possesses laws that transcend the Way of Devouring.

For example, the Burning Technique is too special. It is no exaggeration to say that it defies the laws of heaven and earth. Even the powerful Void Devouring Flame could not detect its abnormality.

Thirdly: surpass the opponent in the Devouring Path, which is the Void Devouring Flame's forte, and form a suppression on the level of power.

And without a doubt, given Void Devouring Flame's mastery of the Devouring Dao, the possibility of such an existence is infinitely close to zero.
"and many more!"

Hun Ruoruo's pupils suddenly contracted, and she was instantly jolted awake from the strange cycle.

After a long pause, a name that should have been intimately familiar to her was slowly uttered from those alluring lips:
"Ethereal Spirit Devouring Flames"

That anomaly, born from the very beginning of their encounter, possesses abilities similar to the Burning Technique, capable of fusion into other strange flames!

If one could implant the Void Spirit Devouring Flame into the body, it would gradually assimilate the Void Child Flame.
Therefore, not only can Hun Ruoruo break free from the control of the Void Devouring Flame, but she can also avoid its spying, allowing it to completely lower its guard against her.

"So, that so-called anomaly was me." Hun Ruoruo's eyes were deep and dark, filled with greed and gloom.

"Since all the changes originated from me, that means I myself am the biggest anomaly!"

She suddenly stood up, her holy spirit quietly emerging. She grabbed the distorted human face and swallowed it whole.

"Refine the Burning Technique for me," Hun Ruoruo coldly ordered.

The next moment, strands of golden-red patterns quietly emerged from the transparent body of the holy spirit, then transformed into intricate and complex stripes like veins, instantly enveloping the black flames on the human face and beginning to refine them.

"Squeak!!"

A sharp, piercing scream suddenly rang out, and the already distorted ghost face immediately erupted into a violent struggle, twisting and turning continuously.

Hun Ruoruo, however, remained expressionless, not even glancing at the weeping face, before absorbing the sacred spirit into her body and turning to walk out of the training room.

A chilling demonic aura emanated from the room, yet the girl's delicate body appeared even more noble and serene at this moment. Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her bright eyes held a smile.
"I guess we'll need to find some 'test subjects' first."
