While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 362 The Four Demon Saints

The Devouring Spirit Clan is a strange race from the ancient times of the Dou Qi Continent. They once stirred up countless bloody storms in this world and are a symbol of calamity etched in the memories of many ancient races.

Like other ancient races that rely on the power of bloodline for inheritance, the Devouring Spirit Clan could not escape the fate of bloodline depletion. If no Dou Di powerhouse were to emerge to continue their bloodline, they would eventually become ordinary people.

However, the heavens and earth bestowed upon them an extremely terrifying talent: to devour the bloodline power of other ancient races, thereby delaying the time when their own bloodline would be exhausted.

Therefore, in order to maintain the survival of their race, the Devouring Spirits turned their greedy eyes to other ancient races, unleashing a catastrophe that swept across the entire continent.

They slaughtered ancient races and plundered their bloodlines. Many ancient races were wiped out by their ruthless methods, and their bloodline was severed.

However, such cruel acts thoroughly enraged the remaining ancient races, and they formed an alliance to jointly resist the Devouring Spirit Clan.

That distant era was the peak of the Devouring Spirit Clan's reign, with no single race able to rival them. However, the Devouring Spirit Clan ultimately could not withstand the combined forces of a group of ancient races.

Ultimately, the Devouring Spirit Clan was wiped out and gradually disappeared from the sight of the Dou Qi Continent, never to be mentioned again.

It is worth mentioning that the last patriarch of the Devouring Spirit Clan was killed by the Soul Clan.

What's even more intriguing is that the Devouring Spirit Clan completely disappeared after that time, while the Soul Clan has continued to this day. The connection between them is hard not to make people think.

"So that's it! That's your real purpose!"

Upon recognizing the Devouring Spirit Clan, Yao Dan let out a low growl, realizing that he had guessed the Soul Clan's purpose in attacking various clans.

What he didn't know was that devouring the bloodline power of various races was only one of the Soul Emperor's goals.

In comparison, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is what the Soul Emperor values ​​most.

After all, the Soul Emperor was the kind of ruthless person who would sacrifice his entire clan if he could become an emperor!

"As expected of the Medicine Clan Chief, even if you die now, you should be able to rest in peace, right?"

Hun Xuzi stood behind the Void Devouring Flame, smiling sinisterly, perfectly embodying the role of a fox borrowing the tiger's might.

Call ~

Without answering Hun Xuzi, Yao Dan took a deep breath. The next second, he plummeted to the ground, flicked his sleeves, and swiftly grabbed dozens of Yao Clan youths and girls. His heart-wrenching voice echoed across the battlefield: "All elders, heed my command! Self-destruct! Tear space apart! We may die, but the seeds of the Yao Clan must live!"

This stern shout was like a red-hot branding iron, making all the powerful members of the Medicine Clan tremble.

Sorrow and determination intertwined on their faces, yet few hesitated. Even people of Yao Wangui and Yao Feng, with their impeccable character, did not waver at this moment.

Because they all knew they were doomed and had no chance of escaping.

Since death is inevitable anyway, might as well make the most of the last moments and use your life to fight for a chance of survival for your people!

Having cultivated to the level of a Battle Saint, one must have this level of understanding.

In an instant, brilliant orbs of light lit up the sky, and the battle aura of the Medicine Clan experts instantly became incredibly violent, like giant balloons colliding violently.

"Self-destruct?!"

Seeing the clusters of violent energy about to spiral out of control around him, Hun Xuzi's expression changed.

With so many powerful beings self-destructing at the same time, even if the Medicine Realm space is sealed, it is possible that a crack will be torn open.

Because at this moment, the Void Devouring Flame has already transformed into countless spirit-devouring bodies, making it impossible for it to spare any attention.

"Trying to slip away right under my nose? Dream on!"

With a gloomy face, Hun Xuzi suddenly took out a scroll burning with black flames from his storage ring and tore it open fiercely.

If he could, he wouldn't want to call in reinforcements; that way, he would have the greatest credit for destroying the Medicine Clan.

Unfortunately, the powerful figures like Yao Dan were determined to fight to the death, so Hun Xuzi didn't dare to go up and risk his life. He could only call for reinforcements.

In any case, the Medicine Clan must not have any remnants left behind!

As the scroll was torn open, raging black flames surged into a fiery channel, from which several dark figures swiftly emerged and descended upon the chaotic battlefield.

"Yao Dan, it's been a long time. I never imagined you'd fallen to such a state."

A group of shadowy figures appeared, their chilling aura spreading like a tide throughout the area.

The Medicine Clan members, already in dire straits, felt an even heavier weight in their hearts.

The powerful members of the Soul Clan have also arrived!

Yao Dan suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the two leading figures.

They were two old men, standing in mid-air, their smiles filled with icy coldness.

"Soul Mirror, Soul Flame—"

Yao Dan's voice was low and venomous: "Two of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan have arrived at once. They really think highly of my Yao Clan!"

The four demon saints of the Soul Clan are Soul Flame, Soul Mirror, Soul Slaughter, and Soul Fiend.

Their strength is comparable to that of the three ancient immortals, all of whom are at the late stage of the Seven Star Dou Sheng!

And medicinal pills are also at this level.

He might be closer to an eight-star Dou Sheng than the Four Demon Saints, but the difference isn't significant.

At this moment, with only a Soul Void Child, Soul Flame, Soul Mirror, and the seemingly invincible Void Devouring Flame, Yao Dan couldn't think of any way to save his clansmen's lives.

Hearing Yao Dan's words, the old man called Hun Jing smiled faintly: "Yao Dan, your clan's alchemy skills are indeed somewhat useful to my Hun clan. This is your last chance. If you are willing to submit, perhaps you can preserve some of your bloodline."

"Dream on! Even if my Medicine Clan sheds its last drop of blood, it will never be a dog of the Soul Clan!"

Without a second thought, Yao Dan angrily refused, his tone stern and his pride heavier than a mountain.

He hadn't submitted before, when no one had died, but now that countless descendants had been devoured and many powerful warriors had perished, it was even less likely that he would surrender.

Soul Mirror wasn't surprised by his decision, and waved his hand lightly: "Since that's the case—then, leave none alive!"

"yes!"

The Soul Clan expert behind him grinned and obeyed, his boundless battle aura surging downwards like a black tide.

"burst!"

The aura of a Medicine Clan Battle Saint Elder suddenly surged to its peak, and violent energy exploded in the sky first.

The Soul Clan expert who was the first to be hit was blasted back and coughed up blood, suffering severe injuries instantly.

Explode! Explode! Explode!

This sound seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of all the powerful members of the Medicine Clan. One after another, figures streaked across the sky like meteors, detonating themselves in the same space.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom—"

The destructive energy storm instantly leveled all the mountains in sight, and the abyss thousands of feet deep spread out like a spider web. The space that had been tightly sealed off began to distort under the impact of the self-destruction of these Dou Sheng powerhouses, and tiny cracks began to appear.

"continue!"

A hint of joy flashed in Yaodan's eyes, but deep down, she was filled with endless grief.

Who could have imagined that the once peaceful and prosperous Medicine Clan would now be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with countless descendants dying tragically and the clan almost entirely wiped out?

As the strongest members of their clan, all they could do was use their own flesh and blood to fight for a chance of survival for their descendants!

"Soul Clan, you son of a bitch!"

Amidst roars of fury, many more powerful members of the Medicine Clan detonated themselves without hesitation.

"Hmph!" Soul Mirror snorted coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, the towering black energy transformed into a giant hand, throwing away the Medicine Clan experts who rushed towards the weak point in space.

As long as the Medicine Clan's powerful members are prevented from continuing to self-destruct in the same space, it will be impossible to break the seal; at most, it will only be a large-scale fireworks display.

"Ten Thousand Fires!"

With a loud shout, Elder Wan Huo, already covered in blood, shot into the sky, followed by several elders whose auras surged.

They have given their all, using every secret technique that can enhance their strength. This is their final battle, a battle to protect their people!

"I'll play with you guys." Hun Xuzi sneered, and with a flash, he blocked Elder Wan Huo and the others. Amidst the surging black flames, he single-handedly dragged them into the battle.

With the strength of a Seven-Star Battle Saint, Hun Xuzi was quite confident in dealing with this group of people who were at most Six-Star level.

On the ruined plaza, gazing at the horrific battlefield high above, Xiao Chen's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

This is the brutality of a war of genocide!

The Xiao clan back then was probably like this, willing to do anything to ensure the continuation of their bloodline, even self-destructing without complaint.

In the face of the war of annihilation, all personal grudges have vanished, and those who once had grudges now rely on each other with their lives.

"Damn the Soul Clan!"

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and growled, his eyes burning with anger, as he suddenly turned around and glanced behind him.

The scene was too chaotic, and he didn't know where Chen Xiao and the others were at the moment, but he believed that Chen Xiao could definitely see him.

He couldn't contain himself any longer and wanted to get into the fray!

"If you can't hold back, then go ahead and collect some interest from the Soul Clan first."

The calm voice rang in his ears, instantly igniting Xiao Chen's terrifying killing intent.

"You Soul Clan scum, die!"

"Three Heaven-Shattering Axes!"

A massive blood axe appeared in his hand. Xiao Chen stomped his foot and soared into the sky. His fighting spirit surged like waves, and three crimson blood lines tore through the air and attacked the three Soul Clan One-Star Dou Sheng.

laugh!laugh!laugh!

Like a devastating blow, the three Battle Saints perished on the spot!

In terms of hatred for the Soul Clan, Xiao Chen is no less than the current members of the Medicine Clan.

After all, the Medicine Clan is in the process of extermination, while the Xiao Clan is already a thing of the past.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was like a wild beast breaking free of its cage, wishing he could tear all the Soul Clan members to shreds.

"Xiao Chen, I'd almost forgotten about you—"

Hun Xuzi struck Elder Wan Huo with a palm strike, sending him flying and coughing up blood. He then glanced sideways at Hun Xuzi.

"Wan Huo, stop him!"

With a sharp shout, Elder Wanhuo, covered in blood, returned with bloodshot eyes.

Xiao Chen's intervention was an unexpected bonus for them. If they could delay Hun Xuzi and the other powerful figures for even a second longer, Xiao Chen might be able to kill one more Soul Clan Dou Sheng.

In this way, the life force of the Medicine Clan will be increased!

The tragic state of Elder Wanhuo almost made Yaodan's eyes overflow with crimson.

His gaze was like lightning, sweeping over the powerful members of his clan who were fighting fiercely in the sky, and finally his gaze was fixed on the square below.

There was a group of people there, all of whom were young geniuses of the Medicine Clan, each of whom shone brightly in the Pharmacopoeia.

With a swift movement, Yao Dan appeared before the group of geniuses, quickly scanning their surroundings. His hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, trembled as he roared, his voice hoarse and on the verge of collapse: "Where is Yao Ling?!"

In his heart, although Yao Ling is not as good as Yao Tian now, her potential is even greater, and she is the most promising person in the clan to touch the soul of the Emperor Realm.

However, the medicine spirit was nowhere to be found at this moment, which made him wonder if the medicine spirit had already been destroyed in the aftershocks.

"It was just here a moment ago—" The younger generation was shocked to realize that Yao Ling had disappeared. They looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"Stop looking, let's go!" Yao Dan suppressed the metallic taste and sorrow in his throat, and with a sudden flick of his sleeve, a gentle yet irresistible force pushed the group of young people to the edge of the square.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the powerful figures and alchemists from Central Continent present, his voice urgent like a pounding drum: "Gentlemen, the Medicine Clan has implicated you today! But there's no point in saying more now. The Soul Clan will spare no survivors. Our clan's experts will fight to the death to break the spatial seal and give you a chance to escape! I beg you, please help these children along the way!"

"Clan leader! I want to stay! I'll fight these bastards to the death!" Blood and tears streamed down Yao Tian's face. He had watched his father besieged and killed by the Soul Clan, and now Yao Ling had mysteriously disappeared. He just wanted to kill one more to make it worthwhile, and kill two more to make a killing.

"Snapped!"

A merciless slap landed hard on his face. Yao Dan's eyes widened in fury, and he roared like a wounded beast: "Useless trash! Countless clansmen sacrificed themselves to save your lives, and you stay to die? Who do you think you're doing this to?!"

Yao Tian covered his face, biting his lip until it bled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Yao Dan stopped looking at him and finally turned to Shennong, the strongest person in the arena, her voice hoarse: "Old man, I'm begging you."

He and Shennong, the old man, had always been on good terms, and now he could only entrust his last hope to them.

The old man Shennong sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness: "I have done my best."

He knew in his heart that although he was a six-star Dou Sheng, he was not good at fighting and was now in a precarious situation, so he dared not make any promises.

"Thank you." Yao Dan wiped the blood off his face, his gaze slowly sweeping over Yao Tian and the others. His expression gradually returned from grief to calm, and finally a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Get ready, I'm going to use the Soul-Blocking Mirror and Soul Flame. The clan elders will help you blast open up space—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Dan stomped his foot, and his fighting spirit surged. He became like a burning meteor, rushing towards the two black-robed figures in the sky.

"Madman!" Seeing his desperate stance, the two from Soul Mirror frowned and attacked simultaneously, instantly causing the world to change color with black flames and violent battle qi.

Explode! Explode! Explode!

As Yao Dan and Hun Jing engaged in a fierce battle, dozens of Yao Clan elders simultaneously emerged from the sky and, without hesitation, detonated their own battle qi in the same spatial location.

Boom boom boom!

Space trembled and distorted violently, with black flames mixed with runes seeping out continuously. Finally, under the continuous impact of the self-destruction, a crack was forcibly torn open.

"Walk!"

The instant the crack appeared, the life force within Shennong's body surged, condensing into a massive fire shield that protected Yao Tian and the other ten or so people within it. Their speed increased to the extreme as they shot towards the crack.

Boom! Boom!

Thunderous explosions resounded continuously, each one signifying the annihilation of a powerful member of the Medicine Clan, their very soul obliterated in the energy of their self-destruction.

Shennong, the old man, led a group of young geniuses and desperately rushed towards the weakest point of the seal, with the powerful figures from Zhongzhou following closely behind.

Everyone knew that if they scattered and fled at this moment, they would only be hunted down one by one by the Soul Clan. Only by joining forces could they have any chance of survival.

But how could the Soul Clan allow them to escape?

The countless spirit-devouring creatures and powerful Soul Clan warriors immediately surrounded them, densely packed and blotting out the sky.

Looking at the dark figures surrounding him from all sides, the old man Shennong closed his eyes in despair.

Although he was a six-star Dou Sheng, he specialized in alchemy and his combat strength was far inferior to those of his peers.

"Everyone, fight to the death!" Shennong sighed softly, throwing his herbal cane. The cane transformed into a green sea of ​​fire, with countless towering trees wrapped in flames growing wildly, binding the charging black shadows like vines.

The powerful figures, alchemists, and even Yao Tian and others behind them all went all out, using various fighting techniques and flames to carve out a bloody path in the desperate situation.

"Lord Void! Stop them! We haven't found the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Medicine Clan yet, it's very likely on them!" Soul Void, who was entangled with Elder Wanhuo and the others, saw this and hurriedly shouted in the direction of Void Devouring Flame.

"Hmph, you think you can teach me how to do things?" The voice of Void Devouring Flame was icy cold, filled with undisguised displeasure.

Hun Xuzi awkwardly shut his mouth, glanced in the direction of the Void Devouring Flame, and dared not utter another word.

He also knew that although Void Devouring Flame was the strongest person in the arena, he had to focus on stabilizing the seal. He had suffered great losses in the previous battle with the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor, and now he had split into countless Devouring Spirits, so he could no longer take care of anything else.

"Leave it to me." Soul Flame, one of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, smiled faintly, glancing mockingly at the crazed Yao Dan. "You think you can stop the two of us by yourself? Dream on!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already broken away from the battle, transforming into a streak of light and heading straight for Shennong Elder's group.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen blasted away the Soul Clan expert in front of him with an axe and hurriedly rushed to his aid.

In that group were Xiao Yan and his disciple Yao Chen!

"There have been some unexpected developments." A soft sigh came from the void, and a figure slowly walked out, his aura no less powerful than that of Soul Mirror and Soul Flame.

The newcomer glanced at the battlefield, casually pressed down with his palm, and more than ten people were instantly wiped out, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.

Among them are four geniuses from the Medicine Clan!

"Soul Slaughter!" Yao Dan's eyes were bloodshot with rage, but he was tightly bound by the Soul Mirror and could only watch helplessly as the tragedy unfolded.

Soul Slaughter annihilated that small group of people, seemingly losing interest, and handed the battlefield over to the arriving Soul Flame. He brushed past them, blocking Xiao Chen's path, his tone tinged with amusement: "Xiao Chen, I'm quite curious, after a thousand years, with your talent, how come you've only improved this much?"

The moment Soul Slayer appeared, it was like an invisible hand that extinguished the last spark of hope in the hearts of the Medicine Clan members.

At this moment, the battle situation became completely unbalanced, and the casualties on the Medicine Clan's side increased dramatically.

The faster the Medicine Clan's powerful warriors fall, the more manpower the Soul Clan can free up to surge into other battle zones.

This is a vicious cycle from beginning to end.

No solution!

At this rate, the destruction of the Medicine Clan is only a matter of time.

In a corner of the square, Zi Yan and Zhu Hong appeared silently, without disturbing anyone.

Chen Xiao didn't ask about their gains from this trip. Just looking at the smile that Zi Yan couldn't hide, the answer was already clear. The Dragon Emperor glanced down at the unconscious Yao Ling on the ground and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Now that this girl is awake, will she blame us for having the ability to save the Yao Clan but just standing by and doing nothing?"

Thinking this, a dangerous glint flashed in Zi Yan's eyes.

From their perspective, they have no obligation to get involved in this mess.

Moreover, they and the Medicine Clan have always been at odds and dislike each other, so sitting back and watching the two fight is the easiest option for them.

But Yao Ling is, after all, a member of the Yao Clan, and whether she can accept this fact is anyone's guess.

If she wakes up, it's not impossible that she might do something crazy or say something outrageous.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao gently shook his head, his tone certain: "Yao Ling definitely wouldn't, unless her body has already been possessed by the soul of the Soul Clan."
