Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 627 Yan and Ruo's Inner World
That night, in the room.

The flickering candlelight cast a delicate silhouette of a young girl on the wall, like a painting.

"The fusion of the Void Devouring Flame seems to have been successful."

A dark glint flashed in Hun Ruoruo's pupils as she murmured softly.

Ever since she obtained a seed of Void Devouring Flame from Hun Miesheng, she stored it in her 'Holy Spirit Soul', attempting to refine it with the power of the Burning Technique.

The result was quite successful.

As a 'second incarnation' independent of the body, the existence of the Void Fire Seed did not conflict with the Sea Heart Flame. In addition, since it only possessed a trace of the original power of the 'Earth Child Fire', the refining process naturally did not encounter any obstacles.

The fire seed existing within Mo Yu's body was actually a product derived from Hun Ruoruo.

As a seed of fire possessing the ability to devour the void, even if it is only the weakest bit, it is already the highest-level treasure that Mo Yu has ever received in his life.

Therefore, in just half a month after absorbing the fire seed, he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the seven-star Dou Zun and reached the level of the eight-star Dou Zun, which is equivalent to that of the Prison Land.

"The power of the Void Devouring Flame is indeed well-deserved. Although the Demon Rain has successfully refined it, the restless desire to devour it has not disappeared at all, but has been dormant deep within the fire seed."

The soul seems to look inward at itself.

Now, she has truly mastered the path of the soul, possessing a holy spirit, divine soul bloodline, or celestial soul, each of which far surpasses the rank of an ordinary Dou Zun.

Even so, she could only detect a slight abnormality from the weakest Void Flame, and that was only after she knew in advance that the Void Devouring Flame was abnormal.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be completely unaware that their mind had been controlled by the Void Devouring Flame, and all their cultivation would have been used to benefit the other party!

"The Pill Gathering will be held in six months, which means that the ancient clan's 'Heavenly Tomb' will open in at most two and a half years. If I haven't become a true young clan leader by then, I'm afraid I'll miss this best opportunity to establish prestige."

"But going to see the Void Devouring Flame now is too risky. Even with the protection of a trace of the Burning Technique's power, at most, we only have a 50% chance of success."

Hun Ruoruo secretly weighed the risks involved.

If it were the woman of the past, let alone 50%, even if it were only 20% or 30%, she probably wouldn't have hesitated at all.

But things are different now.

Some people get angry when they find out she took a risk without permission. They're the kind of people who can't be appeased no matter how much you try.

Thinking of that person's ugly, stern face, Hun Ruoruo felt a strange sense of irritation, and her heart, which had been devoid of emotions, couldn't help but stir with waves of emotion.

"How annoying, they want to control everything."

She propped her chin up, looked at the moon outside the window, and muttered, "What was it about him that I liked before? Why can't I remember it at all?"

Is it because he has some value to be exploited?
Is it because he acts as a shield, always selflessly protecting me?

Or is it because of his jealous nature—he'll follow me everywhere I go, glaring fiercely at every man he sees?

He's so stupid.

Hun Ruoruo was suddenly amused, and the joy that she had not been able to perceive before surged like a tidal wave.

She took out the pair of red shoes from her storage ring. The blood-stained high heels dangled from the soles, held together only by a sturdy leather seam, as if keeping the beautiful, seemingly unbreakable shoes afloat.

The clear water washed away the bloodstains on the shoes and soothed the rippling waves in the girl's eyes.

"Never mind," she said softly.

Why I fell in love with him is no longer something I need to think about. Ever since the Hall of the Dead vanished overnight, the landscape of Central Plains has undergone a complete transformation.

Countless top forces are on edge, while some forces that have long coveted the reputation of the Four Directions Pavilion are desperately trying to squeeze in and take advantage of the chaos to get a share of the spoils.

However, what ultimately replaced the Yellow Springs Pavilion was not the still powerful Ice River Valley in everyone's memory, but rather a mysterious emerging force that seized it.

Its name is: Ancient Gathering!
Although it wasn't named after a 'pavilion', this newly formed ancient society was extremely powerful. With just one hand technique, a hand seal fighting skill that terrified countless people in the Central Plains, it successfully drove away all those who coveted the Yellow Springs Pavilion's territory and carved out a piece of land from it.

From this point on, the situation in Zhongzhou was settled.

One hall, one pagoda, two sects, two valleys, three pavilions, and one assembly.

Among them, the One Hall and One Tower still stand out from the crowd, followed closely by the Two Sects, the Three Valleys became the Two Valleys, and then came the Starfall Pavilion, the Myriad Swords Pavilion, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and the newly emerging Ancient Society.

Aside from the great victory and the Starfall Pavilion, which was vaguely comparable to the Three Valleys, attracting much attention, the Ice River Valley, which had completely disappeared from the Central Plains, also attracted the attention of countless people.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard people dug, they could no longer find any trace of the Ice Valley.
Southern Region, Starfall Pavilion.

The Tianxing Mountains, once covered in barren land, are now once again covered in lush greenery, as if the war of the past had never happened.

Inside the Starfall Pavilion, towering peaks pierce the clouds, seemingly shrouded in celestial energy. The shouts of disciples sparring and exchanging blows still occasionally echo from within the clouds, but it seems somewhat quieter than before.

Gazing at the vast night sky, the old man in blue and white robes couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with a sigh:
"Unexpectedly, the seemingly unshakeable global order has been drastically altered because of us."

"Hehe, what's wrong with it?"

The red-haired old man beside him chuckled strangely, "Old man Yao, you are still young and do not understand the truth. For me, being forgotten is more painful than death!"

"You old monster, you're still as outspoken as ever." The old doctor chuckled.

To dare to openly call him a junior is extremely rare, even in the entire Central Plains. Yet, the person in front of him happens to be in that category.

Without a doubt, this red-haired old man was none other than Venerable Tianhuo, who had regained his physical body.

However, compared to his previous image as a living dead who seemed to have sprung out of a coffin, the Heavenly Fire Venerable at this moment has completely merged his physical body and soul into one, and his strength has also undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Hey, don't you believe me? I'm telling the truth."

Venerable Tianhuo's eyes widened: "When I first came to Zhongzhou, I specifically asked that brat Xiao Yan to investigate thoroughly, and guess what? Even with the Soul Palace's intelligence network, they couldn't find a single piece of information about me!"

"I, Yaotianhuo, created the Five-Round Fire Technique and roamed the continent, yet in less than a thousand years, I have been completely wiped out. This is simply outrageous!"

Upon hearing Venerable Tianhuo's words, Elder Yao's expression stiffened slightly, and he fell into a long silence.

The old doctor, nicknamed "Little Yanzi," had a slightly darkened look in his eyes.

"Old man medicine, old man medicine?"

Seeing that Elder Yao was not in a good state, Venerable Tianhuo was taken aback and couldn't help but ask:

"Didn't that kid Xiao Yan go back to Xingyun Pavilion a while ago? With you, a grandmaster of alchemy, around, what problems could possibly arise with him?"

After Xiao Yan returned to the Starfall Pavilion, he only met with Yao Lao once before disappearing again. Therefore, even Venerable Tianhuo did not know his current state and naturally failed to notice anything unusual.

Seeing that Venerable Heavenly Fire's expression was gradually becoming serious, Elder Yao no longer concealed anything and shook his head:
"His problem lies within himself."
