Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 251

The three consecutive "kill" words perfectly captured the murderous intent in the hearts of the Yan Clan members at that moment!

With the addition of this new force, the allied forces, which had initially only held a slight advantage, immediately gained the upper hand.

The Soul Clan members who had been desperately trying to intercept Zi Yan and Cai Die immediately became the targets of the Flame Clan's attack.

Led by Huo Jin and others, the elders of the Yan Clan rushed into the battlefield first, unleashing their strongest killing moves right away. They didn't even bother with defense or dodging; their only goal was to kill!

Zi Yan and Cai Die were both stunned for a moment when they saw this scene. Then Zi Yan reached out and grabbed the Yan Clan member who rushed past her, and said urgently, "Hey, tell me quickly, what just happened inside? Where is Ye Chen?"

As luck would have it, the one captured by Zi Yan was Huo Zhi, one of the two geniuses of the Yan Clan. Although she possessed the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, which ranked eighth on the Strange Flame Ranking, her strength was far inferior to Zi Yan's, and she couldn't break free at all.

After recognizing Zi Yan, Huo Zhi suppressed her anger and said, "President Ye is alright. He's currently using a grand formation to suppress the Void Devouring Flame, and I believe he'll be out soon..."

Zi Yan: "..."

These words startled Zi Yan. Then, Huo Zhi took the opportunity to break free and leave. When Zi Yan came to her senses, she wanted to ask something, but the other party had already disappeared...

"This... Big Brother directly suppressed the Void Devouring Flame? Is that even possible...?"

Cai Die frowned, wondering whether Huo Zhi's words were true or false.

After all, although they had a lot of confidence in their men, the idea that he could suppress the Void Devouring Flame was still a bit too fantastical.

Chapter 533 Quitting, Both Sides Suffer

In the Soul Realm, mountains of corpses and seas of blood have piled up across the entire ground, and the blood has condensed into an ocean that has stained everyone's eyes.

Above the sky, the once towering array has disappeared, and the huge spatial rift in the sky has been unable to heal for a long time. The power of the void continues to erode the spatial barrier, as if it were the end of the world.

The bloody battle between the Soul Clan and the Allied Forces has ceased, and the Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan, who were originally engaged in a fierce battle in the void, have reappeared at the forefront of their respective teams.

As his eyes swept across the direction of the ancient clans within the allied forces, Gu Yuan's heart couldn't help but clench painfully.

Of those lads who left the Ancient Realm with him, less than a third remained. The elite Black Annihilation Army, which was the main fighting force, was almost completely wiped out, and even the figure of Black Annihilation King Gu Lie had disappeared...

"Gu Yuan, in today's battle, both of us have suffered heavy losses. However, if you want to take the ancient jade from me, I'm afraid you are not capable enough."

Unlike Gu Yuan, the Soul Emperor didn't even glance at the even more miserable Soul Clan. His eyes were filled with icy indifference as he spoke directly to the former.

"Soul Emperor, do you think it's worth it to have all the Soul Clan members buried with you for your ambition?"

Faced with such a cold and ruthless clan leader, Gu Yuan even felt a chill on the behalf of the Soul Clan.

"Hehe, as long as I can break through to the Dou Di realm, my Soul Clan will rule the entire Dou Qi Continent! For this goal, even if there are sacrifices, it will be worth it."

"You...you're absolutely insane!"

Although the coalition suffered heavy losses, it still held an absolute advantage in the end. Therefore, in terms of casualty ratio, the two sides were almost at a ratio of 1:2.

In other words, if the allied forces lose one powerful member, the Soul Clan will have to pay with two lives...

Currently, the Soul Clan only has four experts at the level of Dou Sheng or above, and among them are two living dead, eight-star Dou Sheng, Hun Yao and Hun Shengtian.

However, the two behind them were already living dead. During their battle with Lei Ying and the others, the Death Realm Formation was forcibly broken, causing a backlash of death energy. They were on the verge of death.

Moreover, this backlash is because the death energy is corroding their entire bodies. After they fall, their bodies will quickly be corroded into a skeleton, so resurrection is absolutely impossible...

Therefore, apart from the Soul Emperor, the Soul Clan nowadays has no other powerful individual who can stand alone!

Of course, in achieving such results, the coalition forces also suffered significant losses, especially in high-end combat capabilities, where the casualties were almost 1:1!

First, regarding the Ancient Clan, in order to break through the Death Realm Array, Black Annihilation King Gu Lie ultimately chose to self-destruct, perishing together with Soul Yuantian, the weakest of the four elders of the Soul Clan. The spatial rift in the sky that almost tore apart the entire Soul Realm and could not be healed was caused by him.

Among the other three trapped in the Realm of Death along with Gu Lie, Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, did not hesitate to use his own bloodline essence. Although he severely injured Hun Yao and destroyed the opponent's Gate of Death Silence, Lei Ying himself was greatly weakened and his lifespan was severely damaged. He only had a few years left to live...

As for Yan Jin, the patriarch of the Yan Clan, although he is in a better position than Lei Ying, his right arm has been invaded by death energy and he will never recover. In the future, he can cosplay as a one-armed hero.

Of the eight eight-star Dou Sheng who were fighting in the melee, the only one who was still relatively unharmed was Old Hei. After all, the defensive power of the Taixu Ancient Dragon was not to be underestimated, and as an old dragon that had lived for ten thousand years, its life-saving methods could be said to be the best in the entire scene!

At the next level of Seven Star Dou Sheng, the Flame Clan Elder, Fire Spirit Fairy, died by self-destruction. Lei Jiutian, the second strongest fighter of the Thunder Clan, was lucky enough to face Hun Miesheng, who was supplementing the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan. After killing him, he was not seriously injured except for excessive consumption of his Dou Qi.

This is a stroke of good fortune for the Lei Clan. Even if Lei Ying were to perish, the Lei Clan wouldn't be so destitute that they wouldn't be unable to produce a single strong individual...

As for the three remaining members of the three immortals of the ancient clan and the four demon saints of the soul clan, apart from the stronger Gu Dao, the other five also perished.

Such a fierce battle was far more brutal than even the massacre of Xiao Xuan by the Soul Clan a thousand years ago!

Of course, with the combined forces of the four factions and the three races suffering such heavy losses, the Danta Alliance was naturally not in much better shape either...

Ye Chen brought almost all of the top combat power from all the sects and forces in the entire Central Continent, but after the battle, he lost three-quarters of them.

From then on, the strength of Zhongzhou plummeted. In the next hundred years, it is estimated that only forces of the level of Sifang Pavilion will be able to truly dominate a region in Zhongzhou!

The only thing that relieved Ye Chen was that none of his women were seriously injured, especially the slightly weaker Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, who were unharmed in the battle...

In addition, because he suppressed the Void Devouring Flame, he will not only be able to subdue this powerful strange flame ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking, but he will also be able to cultivate a Devouring Spirit Royal Clan member with a complete bloodline. It can be said that Ye Chen has made a huge profit this time!

If the atmosphere in the arena weren't so tense right now, Ye Chen might have burst out laughing...

The Soul Emperor's gaze left Gu Yuan, then swept over Old Man Hei, and finally landed on Ye Chen.

"You must be Ye Chen. Good, very good!"

The Soul Emperor's face, which had been calm and composed, was now filled with a chilling killing intent.

He naturally understood that if this young man hadn't intervened and trapped the Void Devouring Flame, the allied forces would never have been able to leave the Soul Realm alive...

He never imagined that his originally flawless plan would end in such a disastrous defeat because of a mere Seven-Star Dou Sheng!

Ye Chen bears the primary responsibility for the Soul Clan's current predicament!

"Is the Void Devouring Flame in your hands?"

Facing the Soul Emperor's palpable killing intent, Ye Chen remained unyielding, meeting his gaze directly into his eyes and calmly saying, "Indeed, does Clan Chief Soul wish to return? But I don't see the strength you possess right now..."

hum!

Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, an invisible, terrifying pressure rolled in from around the Soul Emperor, even shattering the space around him instantly...

"Hehe..." Ye Chen chuckled softly, without making any move at all.

The overwhelming pressure vanished instantly, like snowflakes encountering flames, when it reached within ten feet of him...

"An Emperor-level Soul! No wonder you could suppress the Void Devouring Flame; it seems you were prepared all along..."

The Soul Emperor's calm voice caused Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and the others in the allied forces to frown.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen was well aware of the Soul Emperor's intentions, but he didn't care at all.

Now, he is no longer afraid of these ancient races that have suffered heavy losses. After obtaining the Void Devouring Flame, Ye Chen has the qualifications to contend with the Ancient Race and the Soul Race!

Everyone present could naturally see this, after all, the Pill Tower Alliance had the support of the Ancient Void Dragon behind it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Danta Alliance has suffered more losses than any of them.

Fangdu is large, but these are mostly forces from Zhongzhou, so they don't have a significant impact on Danta. Besides, they can have a powerful elite dragon army whenever they want...

Among the four ancient clans today, none dare to say they can withstand such a terrifying army!

The Soul Emperor chuckled coldly, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the three clan leaders, including Gu Yuan, before saying, "Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin..."

"I dare to gamble the fate of the entire Soul Clan with you, but do you dare?"

"If you dare not, then retreat now!"

One sentence made the faces of Gu Yuan and the other two clan leaders turn extremely ugly.

But as the Soul Emperor said, would they dare to gamble with the fate of their entire race?

Despite the current dire state of the Soul Clan, as long as the Soul Emperor remains, the Soul Clan will still be one of the most powerful forces on the continent!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yuan gave the Soul Emperor a long look. "You're right. We won't be like you, risking the entire race for your own sake."

"But, Soul Emperor, don't be so smug. As long as I'm here, you won't get the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor's Cave. I'll be watching you, I'll be watching you closely..."

After speaking, Gu Yuan waved his hand and opened a spatial passage, then led the remaining members of the ancient clan away from the Soul Realm.

Similar actions were also taken by the Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Danta Alliance...

With the old dragon Hei Lao present, Ye Chen and his group were able to retreat more easily than the other three races.

Although the so-called four-way alliance has now completely disbanded, the ancient clans and others will not truly become hostile to Ye Chen because of the Soul Emperor's instigation.

After all, the bigger picture is more important!

Even though they nearly destroyed the Soul Realm and annihilated the Soul Clan this time, because they failed to snatch even a single piece of ancient jade from the Soul Emperor, they still had to be wary of the Soul Clan opening the Ancient Emperor's Cave...

However, cracks have already appeared, and it will probably be difficult to cooperate as before...

After all the spatial passages were closed, only the Soul Emperor remained standing in the sky above the Soul Realm, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Gu Yuan, just you wait! When we meet again, you will be trembling and crawling at my feet! Hahaha!"

……

……

"What's next?"

After leaving the Soul Realm for thousands of miles, Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and the others reunited. The straightforward Lei Ying was the first to ask a question.

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Gu Yuan.

As the only person capable of fighting against the Soul Emperor, Gu Yuan naturally became the backbone of everyone.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the Soul Clan has obtained all eight pieces of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, given the Soul Emperor's nature, after they have rested for a while, they will probably gather the ancient jade to explore the location of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave..."

The only thing we can do now is to closely monitor the Soul Clan. Once any of their powerful members make a move, we'll secretly follow them and find the location of Emperor Tuoshe's cave!

This suggestion prompted everyone to nod slightly in agreement.

"If we rely on surveillance, we're afraid the Soul Clan might slip away. By the time we discover them, they'll probably have already entered the Ancient Emperor's Cave."

Yan Jin frowned.

This is something the Soul Clan excels at. When they wiped out the Spirit, Stone, and Medicine Clans, they didn't sense anything amiss. The Soul Clan simply and silently eliminated the three clans...

“This time, I will personally take charge of monitoring.”

Gu Yuan said in a deep voice.

Now that things have come to this point, they have no choice but to devote their utmost effort to dealing with it.

If the Soul Emperor were to succeed, they would truly have no chance of ever turning the tables... In the eyes of a true Dou Di powerhouse, the so-called allied forces were nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree.

“Alright! Let’s do it that way.” Lei Ying said ruthlessly. “If we reach the location of the ancient emperor Tuoshe’s cave, there will inevitably be a final battle. This time, even if it means we both perish, we absolutely cannot let the Soul Clan succeed again!”

Lei Ying had long ago decided to use his crippled body to fight for a bright future for the Lei Clan. As long as the Soul Clan was destroyed, the Lei Clan could rise again. This was the responsibility that he, as the clan leader, should shoulder!

"What about the Pill Tower..." Gu Yuan suddenly hesitated.

Although they were all part of the alliance before, in the eyes of the three races, this so-called Pill Tower Alliance was still an outsider. Moreover, the words of the Soul Emperor made the people of the three races inevitably have some doubts about Ye Chen.

Of course, there is also the most important point: if the ancient emperor's cave is really opened, then not only the Soul Clan, but wouldn't others be tempted by what's inside?

Originally, as an ancient race, they didn't take the Pill Tower and Ye Chen too seriously, but after this Soul Realm War, who would dare to underestimate them?

Moreover, the other side also has a fresh force like the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void...

"Hmph! With the Soul Clan as it is now, apart from the Soul Emperor, none of the others are a threat. Our three clans are strong enough to handle it. We don't need those with ulterior motives to interfere!" Yan Jin said coldly.

Although Ye Chen and the Yan Clan still had a bond of friendship during the great battle, the Yan Clan not only lost an elder of the Seven Star Dou Sheng level, but also had the Void Devouring Flame taken by Ye Chen in the end. It's no wonder that the Yan Clan would not have a good attitude towards him!

Lei Ying supported this view, and Gu Yuan eventually gave up the idea of ​​contacting Danta again.

Among the three clans, Xiao Yan listened with a complicated expression as the three clan leaders discussed the matter.

Deep down, he really hoped to see the three races and the Dan Tower work together, because that would give them more confidence in facing the Soul Race.

As for the concerns of the three clan leaders, Xiao Yan didn't really care. In any case, those things would never fall into his hands...

More importantly, if the three races and the Dan Tower part ways, his position in the three-race alliance will definitely be further weakened, to the point that he may become dispensable.

This is not what Xiao Yan wanted to see.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what's wrong..." Gu Xun'er, who was standing next to Xiao Yan, noticed the change in his expression immediately and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing..." Xiao Yan forced a smile, but he didn't know how to tell the person he loved most.

Gu Xun'er raised an eyebrow, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Brother Xiao Yan, are you worried about Uncle Xiao Zhan? Don't worry, Brother Xiao Yan. Although we didn't find Uncle Xiao Zhan's whereabouts this time, as long as we can defeat the Soul Emperor, we should be able to get some information from those Soul Clan members..."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan tried to change his expression, looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and said softly, "Yes, thank you, Xun'er..."
