"Soul Emperor, what is your intention in telling us this news out of the blue?"

Gu Yuan looked at the Soul Emperor and asked in a deep voice.

Of all those present at this moment, he was probably the only one who dared to challenge the Soul Emperor in this way.

The Soul Emperor smiled and said, "I have no other intentions. I simply wish to invite you all to go to the Ancient Emperor's Cave together!"

Gu Yuan frowned slightly: "You'd be that kind?"

The Soul Emperor said calmly, “Brother Gu Yuan, why are you so wary? You should know that although there is an opportunity to become an emperor in that Ancient Emperor Cave, it is bound to be full of dangers. It would be difficult for either my Soul Clan or your Ancient Clan to succeed easily. Why don’t we join forces and enter that cave first?”

"Of course, the information for this operation was provided by my Soul Clan, so we should naturally take the lead. After entering the Emperor's Cave, I hope you will temporarily follow my arrangements. What do you all think?"

Yan Jin, the patriarch of the Yan Clan, Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, and others looked at each other, their faces showing reluctance and hesitation.

To make them obey the Heavenly Emperor's arrangements is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

But the current situation is beyond our control; the Soul Clan has clearly come prepared this time.

If they don't agree, they might not even get a taste of the soup in the end.

Gu Yuan sneered inwardly, but said calmly, "Fine, but if you deliberately send our people to their deaths, don't blame me for turning ruthless."

The Soul Emperor smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, until we see the true inheritance of the Dou Di, we will still be 'allies'."

"Since Brother Gu Yuan has agreed, then I have no problem with it either!"

"I don't have any problem either!"

"I may also..."

Seeing that Gu Yuan, who had the highest cultivation level, had agreed to Hun Tiandi's request, the patriarchs of the other ancient families also chose to compromise.

Once the agreement was reached, everyone immediately began to take action.

Several clan leaders quickly ordered all the clan's experts below the level of Dou Sheng to stay at the academy, partly to monitor the Soul Clan's remaining forces, and partly to preserve their strength.

Only Gu Yuan, after a moment's hesitation, took his daughter Xiao Xun'er with him.

Soon, led by Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan, all the Dou Sheng powerhouses from various races gathered together.

The group entered the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower in a grand procession and rushed straight into the endless world of magma.

"Gulu~"

As soon as they stepped into the lava lake, the terrifying heat swept over them, enveloping everyone.

However, everyone present was at least a Dou Sheng in cultivation, so the magma couldn't harm them in the slightest.

With Gu Yuan protecting her, Xiao Xun'er is very safe.

However, not long after, the Void Devouring Flame, which was swimming at the front, frowned: "Something's not right."

The Soul Emperor's eyes flashed: "Is something wrong?"

Void Devouring Flame looked around: "This magma world is inhabited by a native species called fire lizards. Their population is huge, and there are many at the level of Battle Saint. They are extremely aggressive towards outsiders. Normally, with so many of us entering, they should have swarmed in long ago, but now... it's too quiet."

Upon hearing this, everyone became wary.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

There's definitely a problem here.

With trepidation, the group continued their descent.

Before long, large swirling energy vortexes and spatial rifts hidden in the magma appeared ahead.

An atmosphere of danger permeated the air.

What's even more chilling is that behind those spatial rifts, countless crimson figures can be vaguely seen.

Those crimson figures lurked behind the turbulent lava and spatial currents, their numbers seemingly endless.

Several of the figures exuded a hidden aura that had even reached the level of a Dou Sheng! "It seems that all those fire lizards have gathered here."

A sly glint flashed in the eyes of the Soul Emperor.

He turned to the crowd and said, “Everyone, as you can see, these beasts are the first barrier guarding the ancient emperor’s cave. There are many of them, and forcing our way through will only be a waste of energy. I propose that those below the five-star Dou Sheng level join forces to wipe out these fire lizards and clear a path for us. Those of five-star Dou Sheng level and above, please follow me to continue deeper. What do you say?”

Everyone watched the overwhelming swarm of fire lizards in silence, without uttering a word.

They suspected that the Soul Emperor's move was intended to distract their fighting forces, but they had no evidence.

The chieftains of the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan were the most aggrieved.

Because their two clans are the weakest in overall strength, and the highest level of cultivation among them is only a six-star Dou Sheng.

If the clansmen below the level of Five-Star Dou Sheng were left behind, they would be left with no one to command.

"can."

Just then, Gu Yuan suddenly stepped out from the crowd and agreed to the Soul Emperor's suggestion.

"It seems that Brother Gu Yuan is indeed considering the bigger picture!"

The Soul Emperor smiled and nodded, then ignored the others and directly gave the order to the Soul Clan: "Those of the Soul Clan below the Five-Star Dou Sheng level, stay and fight. The rest of you, follow me through..."

"As ordered!"

In an instant, dozens of Dou Sheng powerhouses, led by Hun Miesheng, unleashed their powerful auras, transforming into streaks of light as they charged towards the dangerous area filled with spatial rifts and fire lizards.

Seeing that the Soul Emperor had made a move, Gu Yuan and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward.

The war is about to start.

The once calm underwater world instantly became turbulent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, top experts such as Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan bypassed the main battlefield at top speed and headed to the deeper parts of the lava lake.

However, shortly after Gu Yuan and the others disappeared.

The Soul Clan experts, who were originally fighting fiercely against the fire lizards, immediately turned their attention to the Battle Saint experts from the ancient families beside them.

Then, with a secret gesture from Hun Miesheng, they suddenly turned their attention to the other ancient family allies beside them and unleashed their long-accumulated deadly attacks without reservation!
"Soul Destroyer, what are you doing?!"

"mean……"

The low-star Dou Sheng sent by the Soul Clan this time were generally stronger than those of other clans. In addition, they were caught off guard by the enemy. In the first wave of sneak attacks, several five-star Dou Sheng from other clans died on the spot!

"Form ranks! Leave no one alive!"

Hun Miesheng grinned maliciously, raising a leaping black flame in his hand.

That was the power bestowed upon him by the Void Devouring Flame.

next moment.

A massive black light curtain rapidly unfolded, sealing off the entire area, along with countless fire lizards and other battle saints from various races!

……

at the same time.

Inside the Cave of the Ancient Tuoshe Emperor.

Under the protection of the old doctor, Zhu Chen and his group finally overcame numerous obstacles and arrived at a strange place.

Before us was an enormous square.

Twenty-three towering stone pillars, each a hundred feet tall, stand prominently in the center of the square!
These stone pillars are arranged in a mysterious pattern, and at the top of each pillar, flames of different colors flicker!
Although it was only in the form of flames, the unique aura it emitted resonated with the various strange flames within Xiao Yan's body.

These flames are the twenty-three different flame origin imprints recorded on the Different Flame Ranking!
