People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

247: Chapter 247 The Soul Clan’s Open Scheme! Void Devouring Flame: Xiao Ting Wang Wo”Afraid of you? Not a chance!”

”Burning Heaven Sun Palm!”

Gu Yuan did not back down against Hun Tiandi, mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth to form a giant golden flame palm.

The two Nine-Star Dou Sheng clashed, and the resulting shockwaves shattered the void for a hundred miles, causing the energy of heaven and earth to fall into chaos.

If a weaker Dou Sheng were caught in the center of their clash, they would be pulverized by the incomparably powerful energy.

Considering the current state of the Fighting Qi Continent, Hun Tiandi ultimately chose not to fight Gu Yuan to the death.

This battle ended with the failure of the Soul Emperor’s scheme.

”Brother Gu Yuan, both the Hun Clan and our side have lost four Dou Sheng.”

After Hun Tiandi left, Yan Jin reported the situation with a grim expression.

Among the five fallen Dou Sheng, one was from the Yan Clan, and it was a Four-Star Dou Sheng with a Heavenly State Soul.

For the Emperor Clans, every Dou Sheng is precious, let alone a Four-Star Dou Sheng with a profound Soul Realm.

”The price paid by the Hun Clan is the same; I think this loss is acceptable.” Endless thunder condensed beside Yan Jin, taking the form of Clan Leader Lei Ying. ”Besides, young friend Xiao Ting gave us another surprise—suppressing one Eight Star Dou Sheng of the Hun Clan, obliterating one Five-Star Dou Sheng, capturing the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and getting the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan to join the Anti-Soul Alliance.”

”Add to that the three Hun Clan Dou Sheng he killed in the Northwest Continent, and the advantage is with us.”

Overall, Clan Leader Lei Ying was right.

But Yan Jin still felt something was off, and he retorted, ”Your Lei Clan didn’t lose anyone, so of course you think it doesn’t matter.”

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked, ”Brother Yan, which five Dou Sheng did we lose on our side?”

Yan Jin immediately gave the answer: in addition to their Yan Clan’s Four-Star Dou Sheng, there was also the Medicine Clan’s Four-Star Dou Sheng, Yao Wangui, and two Two-Star Dou Sheng from the Ling Clan and the Gu Clan.

Upon receiving the answer, Gu Yuan sensed something was wrong. ”These five Dou Sheng all seem to have Heavenly State Souls?”

Most Dou Sheng experts possess Spirit Realm souls; only a few with exceptional talent or high-level Dou Sheng possess Heavenly State Souls.

”That’s correct.” Yan Jin nodded instinctively, then suddenly reacted. ”I see what’s wrong—all the dead Dou Sheng had Heavenly State Souls. Could this be a coincidence?”

”If it’s not a coincidence, could it be that the Hun Clan did it on purpose?” Clan Leader Lei Ying asked suspiciously, also feeling the scent of a conspiracy.

”Regarding this, we will know if we have someone tally the casualties among the Dou Zong and Dou Zun levels.” Gu Yuan’s expression tightened. He immediately used his Emperor Realm Soul power to transmit his voice to the leaders of the major factions, asking them to count and report the casualties.

Not long after, a report was handed to Gu Yuan and the others.

”Sure enough, regardless of whether they were Dou Zun or Dou Zong, those who died all had profound Soul Realms or relatively high-grade bloodlines!” Yan Jin immediately realized something was wrong.

The Medicine Clan leader, Yao Dan, seemed to recall something. Ignoring the grief over his own Disciplinary Elder’s death, he said, ”Just now, a Six-Star Dou Sheng from the Hun Clan fought Old Man Shennong with a suicide tactic. If not for the Ancestor of the Pill Tower intervening in time, they might have perished together.”

”So this is no coincidence. The Hun Clan is up to something. What exactly are they trying to do!?” Thunder flashed around Clan Leader Lei Ying, showing his agitation.

”If I’m not mistaken, they should be collecting the nourishment needed for Void Swallowing Flame to break through to a Nine-Star Dou Sheng and an Emperor Realm Soul,” Fairy Huo Ling said, stating her judgment. ”Those Hun Clan Dou Sheng perishing with our people is likely a voluntary sacrifice.”

”The Hun Clan must be using some method to collect the bloodline and soul energy of everyone who has died so far!”

Fairy Huo Ling was able to think of this because she was once the owner of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

When she fought an Eight Star Dou Sheng of the Hun Clan, she keenly sensed that something was wrong with him.

It was a desperate, no-holds-barred fighting style.

Now it seems her thoughts were indeed correct.

”Absorbing bloodline energy and soul energy?”

Gu Yuan closed his eyes, using his full Emperor Realm Soul power to perceive his surroundings.

With a clear line of thought, he soon discovered twenty-four special spatial nodes in the Western Region of the Central Plains, vaguely connected together, linking with the void and invisibly devouring energy.

”Those twenty-four Earth Fiend Halls of the Hall of Souls!” Gu Yuan opened his eyes and stated what he had discovered.

Everyone’s expression suddenly became very ugly. Fairy Huo Ling realized, ”Hun Tiandi knew the Soul-Devouring Life-Ending Array wouldn’t work, so he risked exposure to directly use the twenty-four Earth Fiend Halls to set up an array to devour and absorb the bloodline and soul energy of those who fell on the battlefield!”

In other words, when they set the battlefield in the Western Region of the Central Plains, they had fallen into the Hun Clan’s trap.

The Hun Clan did not fear death at all. To them, death was just sacrificing themselves to provide nourishment for Void Swallowing Flame; it was a necessary sacrifice for the Hun Clan’s grand plan.

And the Dou Sheng belonging to the Anti-Soul Alliance who were dragged to their deaths by the Hun Clan experts, as well as the Dou Zong and Dou Zun, all turned into nourishment.

The purpose of everything the Hun Clan did was to use the experts of both sides to nourish Void Swallowing Flame so he could become a Nine-Star Dou Sheng and an emperor realm expert.

By then, Void Swallowing Flame alone would be able to withstand many Eight Star Dou Sheng.

”This is still an open conspiracy.” Shi Po Kong said with a grave expression. ”Even if we know this, we cannot stop our crusade against the Hun Clan. The longer it drags on, the more favorable it is for the Hun Clan. We must stop Void Swallowing Flame before he breaks through.”

”But as long as the fighting continues, the fallen cultivators will still become nourishment for Void Swallowing Flame to grow stronger.”

This entered a vicious cycle that made the Anti-Soul Alliance very uncomfortable.

”Destroy the twenty-four Earth Fiend Halls of the Hall of Souls.” Clan Leader Lei Ying transformed into lightning and shot into the sky. ”No matter the sacrifice, as long as the twenty-four Earth Fiend Halls are wiped out, at least no one else will become nourishment for Void Swallowing Flame.”

Since the Hun Clan is using an open conspiracy, they can only choose to meet it head-on and bet that they will be the ones to succeed in the end!

Meanwhile, inside the Soul Realm.

Hun Tiandi arrived in a small world of endless darkness and spoke indifferently, ”Void, Gu Yuan and the others have noticed. How much more do you need?”

”Heh heh, the bloodline energy and soul energy needed for the breakthrough are already enough.” A weird, strange laugh came from all directions. ”The more people who die next, the faster I will break through. Even if there are no more sacrifices, I can complete the breakthrough within a year.”

Although Xiao Ting disrupted the Hun Clan’s plan.

His speed in breaking through to the Emperor Realm Soul was ten years earlier than originally estimated.

For him personally, Xiao Ting indirectly helped him.

And with the Soul-Devouring Life-Ending Array wiped out, it meant that even if Hun Tiandi could successfully open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode and luckily obtain the emperor pill embryo with his help, he would be unable to sublimate the pill and break through to Dou Di in the short term.

This brought him many opportunities to plot for the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor!

”Heh heh heh!”

Xiao Ting was truly his lucky star.
