Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 299 Who are you?

"You want to refine me?!"

The Void Devouring Flame stared at Su Yun's palm print, its expression one of fury.

To be refined means to lose one's freedom; it's better to die!

"You're dreaming!"

Enraged, the Void Devouring Flame unleashed a torrent of holy power, attempting to self-destruct.

"Your life already belongs to me. Even if you were to return to nothingness, you would need my permission."

Su Yun remained indifferent as he pressed down with his hand seal, unleashing a burst of purple-gold light.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

The enormous body of the Void Devouring Flame appeared small and helpless under Su Yun's palm print.

Its body, made of nothingness flames, twisted and deformed, with countless black flames struggling and soaring upwards like desperate ghosts, trying to break free from the invisible force pressing down from the sky.

"Surrender and you'll suffer less!"

Su Yun's expression was cold as he suddenly poured in his battle qi and pressed down with his hand seal once more, completely suppressing the holy power surging around the Void Devouring Flame!

"No!"

The Void Devouring Flame let out a final, unwilling roar.

"Boom--!"

The silver light, like mercury spilling onto the ground, completely enveloped and compressed the enormous body of the Void Devouring Flame.

The black flames contracted at a visible speed, eventually condensing into a black ball of light no bigger than a palm, which Su Yun tightly gripped with his five fingers.

"very good."

Su Yun's lips curled into a smile. He slowly raised his hand, and a black ball of light in his palm emitted a faint but unyielding glow.

With that, the matter concerning the pharmaceutical industry is settled.

The news of the destruction of the Medicine Clan and the suppression of the Void Devouring Flame by the Dragon-Phoenix Son spread throughout the Central Continent in just a few days, causing a huge uproar!
…………

In the central region of Zhongzhou, in the Danta, inside a grand hall filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

The enormous palace seemed shrouded in a thick haze, the atmosphere so heavy it was hard to breathe. The top figures of Zhongzhou in the past all wore worried expressions and remained silent.

"Everyone knows the news, right?"

The old ancestor of Danta looked grave, his youthful face showing signs of exhaustion.

Everyone nodded.

"The Medicine Clan was destroyed, hehe... Actually, it's a good thing, but I just can't be happy about it."

Shennong, the old man, sighed.

If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

Admittedly, the Medicine Clan is no good, but who knows when the Dragon-Phoenix Son will target them.

Yesterday's Medicine Clan will be tomorrow's!
Xiao Yan also had a complicated expression.

He didn't have a good impression of the Medicine Clan, but the fact that a clan of tens of millions of people had died at the hands of the Dragon-Phoenix Son would make anyone feel sad and terrified.
"Now that things have come to this, all we can do is what we can do."

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower shook his head and gave the order: "Recently, everyone should stay in the Pill Domain. It's not safe outside."

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded, their expressions solemn.

…………

In the new ancient realm, the ancient tribes held an emergency meeting.

Gu Yuan's expression was grim; his blood rushed to his head, and a sickly flush appeared on his pale face. "Due to my negligence, the son of the dragon and phoenix has actually gained momentum!"

To seal the Void Devouring Flame, who has become a nine-star Dou Sheng, even at his peak, would be impossible without unleashing the power of an ancient clan.

Not to mention, he is now seriously injured!
If it were before, Gu Yuan still harbored some wishful thinking, but now he completely understands that he is no match for the Son of the Dragon and Phoenix!

"The son of the dragon and phoenix, coupled with the remnant soul of a Medicine Emperor possessing the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng, who in the world can stop him? In this chaos, perhaps the only way to protect the family is..."

Gu Lie looked at Gu Yuan, hesitating to speak.

"No need to say it!"

Gu Yuan's expression was cold as he raised his hand: "I know what you're thinking, but the alliance is based on the premise that both sides are of equal strength."

The ancient realm has shattered, and our clan's foundation is gone. In contrast, the Soul Clan is intact, and its descendants are unharmed, able to use the Emperor-Slaying Formation once more.

Even if we were willing to swallow our pride, the Soul Clan would never agree!

"Ok."

Gu Lie put the thought aside, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. What should the ancient clan do then?

Gu Yuan glanced at him indifferently, seemingly guessing Gu Lie's worries, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes: "Don't worry, I already have a good plan..."

…………

In the gloomy hall of the Soul Realm.

The walls of the main hall were made of obsidian, engraved with eerie runes, and emitted a faint black light. A suffocating silence and a dense, sinister aura filled the air, as if even light could be swallowed up.

The Soul Emperor's expression was grim. He looked at the trembling Soul Slayer kneeling before him and said coldly, "The Void Devouring Flame has been sealed by the Dragon-Phoenix Son? How is that possible?!"

Soul Slayer swallowed hard, his whole body trembling.

"This is absolutely true, Chieftain!"
This is news released by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. They've been spreading it widely across the continent. Besides, Lord Void Devouring Flame hasn't returned yet, so it's probably true..."

"That good-for-nothing! Before this trip, I told him that if things went wrong, he should leave immediately! But he wouldn't listen!"

The Soul Emperor's chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with rage. Losing the Void Devouring Flame was a devastating blow, even for the Soul Clan, given their resources.
Hun Tu was terrified, fearing that Hun Tiandi would take his anger out on him: "Clan Chief, what should we do now?"

The Soul Emperor snorted coldly, and the anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by a hint of fear.

"Close the Soul Realm. No one is allowed to leave!"
The Dragon-Phoenix Son still has the Dragon-Phoenix Battle Emperor as a backup plan; let the others have their headaches!

"Yes!"

Soul Slayer felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly retreated.

…………

Meanwhile, in the realm of medicine, a newly built purple palace stood. Deep within the palace was a purple-gold cage entirely woven from spatial power and the aura of dragons and phoenixes.

Inside the cage, the palm-sized black ball of light was tightly bound by several silver chains; it was the very source of the strange fire, the Void Devouring Flame.

"Zizzi."

Su Yun sat cross-legged outside the cage, his face illuminated by the flickering light of the emerald fire.

A faint, emerald-green flame flickered in his palm. The flame was eerie and devoid of any warmth, yet it exuded a chilling aura of poison and death.

Su Yun looked mesmerized, his eyes glazed over, as if he were admiring the most perfect work of art in the world.

He occasionally used the spatial power of his fingertips to precisely probe into the black light cluster and pull out the source of the strange fire from the Void Devouring Flame.

After the source of these black strange flames was extracted, they were quickly thrown into the emerald flames in Su Yun's palm, like moths drawn to a flame.

With each wisp of origin it devours, the azure flames brighten, the poisonous gas intensifies, and the black orb of Void Devouring Flame dims.

The Void Devouring Flame in the cage was shocked and furious, its gaze fixed on Su Yun's palm: "This is... Netherworld Poison Flame!"
Who exactly are you?!

The voice of the Void Devouring Flame was filled with fear and bewilderment.
