At this moment, Hun Yuantian's cloudy eyes were filled with disbelief.
He stared intently at Gu Fei, who floated in mid-air. He couldn't comprehend how someone so young could possess such terrifying strength?
Gu Fei hovered in the sky, looking down at his battered and exhausted figure. A cold smile appeared on his handsome face, and his eyes flickered with a sharp killing intent.
Below him, a black river roared and churned, and the wails of countless tortured souls and malicious spirits echoed, creating an eerie sense of being in hell itself.
"I can't continue fighting like this. If I do, I won't even be able to remain a living corpse..."
A surge of intense fear rose in his heart. He realized that he was no match for Gu Fei.
Severely injured and teetering on the edge of death, combined with the devastating blow from Gu Fei's Yellow Springs Divine Anger, even his soul was beginning to feel dizzy. He wanted to flee, but in his current state, even moving was an agonizing effort.
Gu Fei noticed his intention and sneered mockingly. His hands moved quickly to form seals, and a terrifyingly oppressive aura exploded from his body.
"Die."
With a shout, a colorful fire lotus took shape in his palm. It appeared beautiful, but the destructive power it contained was enough to make one's skin crawl.
But Gu Fei wasn't done. A cruel glint flashed in his eyes as he continued to form more fire lotuses.
"One isn't enough. Let's make it two... nah, three!"
As his hand seals changed, the number of fire lotuses rapidly increased to three. The three vibrant lotuses floated in the air, radiating a suffocatingly terrifying energy.
Under the sunlight, the three lotuses glimmered brightly, like three miniature suns about to explode.
Hun Yuantian's fear intensified at the sight, his elderly face filled with despair as his body trembled uncontrollably.
"No... No!"
With a desperate scream, he gathered the last bit of energy within him, trying to activate the Deathly Silence Gate.
A giant black gate, emanating a sinister aura, slowly took shape in front of him. The gate was covered in mysterious runes and radiated a chilling deathly atmosphere. However, at this point, the gate was covered in cracks and seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
"Go."
At Gu Fei's command, the three fire lotuses shot out, roaring towards him. The air around them evaporated under the intense heat, creating a vacuum in their path.
The scorching heatwaves surged out, turning distant mountains and rocks red-hot, sending waves of heat into the air.
Hun Yuantian exerted all his strength to power the Deathly Silence Gate, hoping to block this fatal strike. However, when the three fire lotuses collided with the gate, everything went eerily silent for a moment.
Then-
BOOM!
A deafening explosion echoed through the sky. The terrifying energy storm centered on Hun Yuantian and spread in all directions. The mountains within a radius of several dozen miles were instantly leveled by the impact.
Countless rocks rained down like meteors, crashing into the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.
The entire sky was engulfed by the light from the explosion, as if a massive sun had risen in the area, an absolutely terrifying sight.
As the dust settled, everyone finally saw the scene in the center of the battlefield. The Deathly Silence Gate had completely shattered, its fragments scattered on the ground.
As for Hun Yuantian himself, he lay in utter defeat on the ground, his body covered in horrifying wounds. His breath was weak, barely hanging on.
"Finally... it's broken."
Gu Fei exhaled deeply, his face showing a hint of relief.
That gate had been troublesome. If a regular seven-star Dou Saint had been sucked into it, they would likely have found it impossible to escape.
However, with his current strength as an eight-star Dou Saint, combined with Xiao Ying's terrifying fire lotuses, they had finally managed to destroy it completely.
"What? The Deathly Silence Gate is... broken?"
Hun Yuantian muttered to himself, despair filling his eyes.
That gate was the product of hundreds of years of his painstaking efforts, crucial to this battle. Now that it had been destroyed, even if he survived, his clan would surely punish him severely.
"Save the elder!"
Just as Gu Fei was preparing to deliver the final blow to him, a frantic shout came from the distance.
A squad of several hundred elite warriors from the Hun Clan was rushing toward the battlefield.
Each one radiated a powerful aura, with most of them being high-level Dou Venerates to half-saint powerhouses.
Gu Fei frowned slightly, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He had hoped to end the battle quickly, but now even more reinforcements had arrived.
At the same time, the dark clouds that had been covering the sky began to churn violently.
A thick aura of death spread from the clouds, as though some terrifying presence was about to descend.
Boom!
In one part of the sky, three powerful auras suddenly clashed fiercely. A massive black flame exploded in mid-air, scattering countless black fire arrows like bolts of lightning.
Two figures were thrown from the explosion, flying in graceful arcs before stabilizing themselves in mid-air.
Once they were steady, everyone could finally see who they were- none other than Lei Ying, and Yan Jin. Their robes were tattered, their faces covered in dust, looking quite disheveled.
Their opponent was the Nihility Devouring Flame. That enormous black flame figure hovered in mid-air, exuding an overwhelming and suffocating aura. Even with them joining forces, they had failed to gain the upper hand against him.
A nine-star Dou Saint, truly living up to its fearsome reputation. And Nihility Devouring Flame's strength couldn't be measured by an ordinary Dou Saint's standards.
That terrifying devouring power alone was enough to overwhelm opponents of the same level. Furthermore, now that it had reached the God realm soul, it had gained a massive boost in combat capabilities.
Lei Ying and Yan Jin calmed their roiling energy, their faces grave.
They had already unleashed their strongest techniques, yet still couldn't gain the upper hand. If this continued, they might end up seriously injured at any moment.
"Come on, both of you! Today, you'll become my nourishment!"
His massive body slowly advanced, his voice filled with a bone-chilling laugh. His abyss-like eyes gleamed with bloodlust, as if eager to devour Lei Ying and Yan Jin entirely.
"You won't have the last laugh!"
Their voices were defiant, but deep down, they were filled with dread. They knew that if the fight continued like this, they might truly fall to him.
"Retreat! The situation has changed!"
Just as the battle was about to resume, an urgent voice suddenly rang in Lei Ying and Yan Jin's ears.
