In the Hun Realm- an eerie space shrouded in eternal darkness- the sky was pitch-black, with cold, dark mist swirling from time to time, as if countless ghosts were whispering softly.
There was no sunlight, no vitality- only the endless chilling power permeating every corner of this space.
In the depths of this sinister and terrifying world stood a towering black palace complex. The palaces were entirely made of a mysterious black stone, exuding an aura of dread.
Countless lifelike soul totems surrounded the palace, their eyes seemingly watching every intruder, sending chills down one's spine.
At that moment, a colossal figure was seated in mid-air above the dark palace. The figure was engulfed in black flames, appearing from afar like a massive black hole, radiating an oppressive devouring force. Countless black flames continuously seeped from within, forming a sea of fire around him.
This figure was none other than Nihility Devouring Flame!!!
Below him, dense shadows stood still on the ground, all clad in uniform black robes with hoods obscuring their faces. In their hands, clusters of light floated upwards. These light clusters were colorless and transparent, but they exuded pure soul energy.
If Gu Fei was here, he would surely recognize that these light clusters were none other than the soul essences collected by the Hall of Souls.
Back then, when he refined just one soul essence from the Man Hall, he had reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Soul state.
But now, there were at least a hundred of these light clusters floating here, an amount that would leave anyone astounded.
Such terrifying quantity should theoretically allow one to break through to the God Realm Soul.
"I hope Lord Nihility can succeed!" one of the Hun Clan members whispered, his eyes filled with hope.
"No, he will succeed!" another member replied confidently.
The members of the Hun Clan knew well the critical situation their clan was facing. The Six Clans Alliance was approaching with overwhelming momentum, and they were on the brink of life and death. If Nihility Devouring Flame could ascend to the God Realm Soul, it would bring about a monumental leap in their overall power.
As for surrendering Nihility Devouring Flame to preserve their clan, such a thought had never crossed the minds of the Hun Clan members.
To be fair, the members of the clan were not entirely without loyalty. After all, Nihility Devouring Flame held an extremely high status within the clan- so much so that, in the eyes of some elders, his status surpassed even that of the Hun Clan leader.
For years, without him, the Hun Clan would have likely suffered the same fate as the ancient Xiao Clan, where the power of their bloodline weakened, relegating them to a second-rate clan.
Though Hun Tiandi was strong, no clan could rely on a single person alone.
If Nihility Devouring Flame succeeded, their clan would truly rise to unmatched heights on the continent!
As everyone watched expectantly, a roaring sound suddenly erupted from the colossal black figure in the sky.
"Whoosh!"
Black flames surged from him, forming a gigantic vortex. The terrifying suction force spread out, and the soul origin light clusters floating in the air were drawn in like moths to a flame.
As soon as these soul essences touched the black flames, they were instantly devoured. As more and more soul essences were forcibly absorbed, an overwhelming soul energy emanated from his body.
The energy grew stronger and stronger, eventually becoming almost tangible, distorting the space around it. The Hun Clan members on the ground felt an invisible pressure envelop their entire bodies, as if a massive mountain was pressing down on their shoulders, making it hard to breathe.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted from Nihility Devouring Flame. The black figure stood up abruptly, and in an instant, a volcanic explosion of soul energy surged forth.
The terrifying soul pressure swept in all directions, causing the entire Hun Realm to tremble.
The mere force of this pressure made it difficult to stand even a hundred meters away.
In an instant, the space distorted, and the ground beneath began to crack. The pressure even lifted fragments of rock, sweeping them in all directions!
Countless clan members were forced to kneel under the weight of this pressure, but their faces were filled with ecstatic joy.
"Congratulations, Lord Nihility, on ascending to the God Realm Soul!"
Thunderous cheers echoed throughout the space, the sound waves rolling like a tsunami, causing the ground to tremble.
Countless clan members knelt, their faces filled with fanaticism and reverence.
"He succeeded!"
From the distant palace rooftop, Hun Feng leaped up in excitement, his handsome face beaming with joy. Clenching his fists, his eyes gleamed with exhilaration.
Beside him, Hun Miesheng let out a long sigh of relief, a look of contentment on his face.
All the years he had spent establishing the Hall of Souls had been for this very moment.
Now, seeing him successfully ascend to the God Realm Soul, all the hard work had been worth it.
At that moment, atop a towering mountain, a white figure appeared out of thin air. Hands behind his back, he stood with piercing eyes, quietly watching Nihility Devouring Flame in the sky, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Clad in pure white, this figure stood out starkly in the black, eerie landscape.
However, no one dared question this anomaly.
All gazes directed at him were filled with fanaticism and reverence.
This white figure was none other than the leader of the Hun Clan- Hun Tiandi.
With a single step, he vanished.
In the next moment, his figure reappeared in the sky, facing Nihility Devouring Flame.
He sized him up, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Well done. After all the effort, you've finally reached the God Realm Soul," he said calmly, his tone tinged with approval.
At this moment, he finally felt a sense of relief.
Without Nihility Devouring Flame reaching the God Realm Soul, the upcoming war would have been difficult for them to withstand.
Gu Yuan alone would have been enough to give the Hun Clan a headache, not to mention the other powerful figures among the six clans.
"Hahaha…"
"Now, it's time to give the Six Clans Alliance a big surprise!"
Nihility Devouring Flame's massive body trembled slightly as he let out a chilling, low laugh.
Having ascended to the God Realm Soul, he exuded an overwhelming confidence, his deep, black hole-like eyes flashing with certainty as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.
"Heh, then let's prepare a 'welcoming ceremony' the Six Clans will never forget," Hun Tiandi replied, a playful smile curling at the corner of his lips.
As his voice fell, he suddenly raised his hand and waved. Instantly, the sky above the Hun Realm grew even darker.
Countless black bolts of lightning surged through the clouds, accompanied by deafening thunder.
