BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 296: The Tunling Clan!



On the other side of the battlefield...

Above the Ling Realm, black clouds covered the sky, and a vast wave of black flames swept in like the coming of the apocalypse. The last sliver of hope in the hearts of the Ling clan members was extinguished as their grand protective formation shattered.

Despair engulfed the entire realm. Everyone knew that this time, the clan was unlikely to escape annihilation.

"Hahaha..."

Hun Xuzi, watching the scene unfold, couldn't help but laugh maniacally. His sinister face was filled with arrogance and pride, as if he could already see the clan's destruction.

"Hahaha! Ling Clan..."

"How long ago were you one of the Ancient Eight Clans, standing proud and untouchable? And now, you grovel at the feet of the Hun Clan!" He laughed wildly.

Faced with his arrogance, a trace of sorrow flickered in Ling Yuan's eyes. The clan had indeed fallen. As she looked around at her clansmen, who had already lost their will to fight, a sharp pain stabbed at her heart.

As the clan leader, she knew the heavy responsibility on her shoulders. Even in the face of this desperate situation, she could not give up so easily.

"Everyone!"

"Even if we can't win, we cannot let the them destroy us so easily!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her face was pale, but her voice remained resolute. As soon as she spoke, a powerful aura burst forth from her body. Her petite figure radiated an astonishing surge of energy, warping the air around her.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a torrent of Dou Qi surged from her body. The sheer force of it made the surrounding rocks tremble. In the blink of an eye, a massive, thousand-foot stream of silvery-white Dou Qi condensed in front of her, glowing as if it could pierce the heavens.

"Go!"

With a sharp cry, she sent the beam of energy hurtling toward the black-flame figure in the sky. Her action seemed to ignite the last spark of hope in the clan members.

"The clan leader is right! We cannot sit and wait to die!"

"If we die, we die but we'll make them pay for it!"

"For the glory of the Ling clan, let's fight!"

In an instant, the entire realm erupted into action. All the standing clan members unleashed the last of their strength, sending streams of Dou Qi of various colors shooting into the sky.

It was a magnificent sight, with countless energy beams lighting up the heavens. Each beam carried their resolve and fury, soaring toward the void-swallowing black flames.

Though their clan had long since declined, their former grandeur as one of the Ancient Eight Clans still lingered. At that moment, they were prepared to die with honor, rather than live in disgrace.

"Lord Nihility!"

Even Hun Xuzi's expression changed at this sight. He quickly hid behind Nihility Devouring Flame, terrified of being caught in the collective force of their attack. After all, despite their decline, this strike contained the strength of the entire clan! Someone of his level wasn't strong enough to withstand it.

"Boom..."

The massive energy instantly collided with the black flames in the sky, sending waves of dust and debris across the battlefield. As the dust settled, the black-flame figure in the sky remained motionless.

"Heh..."

Nihility Devouring Flame's deep, black-hole-like eyes flashed with disdain. "Foolish!"

"Even with your clan's full strength, you are nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree." His calm and commanding voice echoed through the sky. The next moment, he slowly raised his hand, his palm covered in strange runes as he quickly formed a series of seals in the air.

Suddenly, the black flames in the sky began to churn violently. It looked as if the apocalypse had truly come, with the flames roaring and writhing. Eventually, the flames gathered behind him, forming a massive black vortex.

The vortex exuded a terrifying devouring force, as though it could consume everything in the world. The Ling Clan's collective attack seemed insignificant in the face of such power. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

One by one, the beams of Dou Qi were sucked into the black vortex without resistance. Low, muffled explosions could be heard from within, but they quickly quieted, as though nothing had happened.

"How is this possible...?"

"Even that didn't work?"

Ling Yuan's face turned pale as she witnessed the scene. Her once wise and clear eyes were now filled with despair. As the clan leader, she knew better than anyone what this meant. Against such a powerful foe, there was no hope left for them.

'Sigh'

The Ling Clan... is finished!

"Hmph, do you think you can comprehend the power of Lord Nihility?"

Hun Huzi's face filled with even more pride as he saw the clan's futile efforts.

"Today, I will show you what a true expert looks like!"

"Hahaha..."

Nihility Devouring Flame let out a loud, thunderous laugh. As he spoke, the vast black flames in the sky began to wriggle. Countless tendrils of flame twisted and coiled, eventually forming large, spherical objects that hovered in mid-air.

These spheres, shrouded in black flames, emitted a faint blood-red glow that seeped from the cloud of flames and into the orbs.

In the next moment, the spheres shot toward the ground like arrows. Their speed was incredible, and in the blink of an eye, they pierced into the bodies of the Ling clan members.

"Aaah!"

Screams of agony echoed across the battlefield. The clan members hit by the spheres immediately developed gaping blood holes in their bodies, from which blood gushed out like

a fountain.

Ling Yuan, seeing this, felt a sharp pain in her heart. Quickly, she grabbed one of the black- flame creatures and examined it closely.

"This can't be!"

"This is..."

Suddenly, Ling Yuan's pupils shrank in shock as she gasped in horror.

"The Tunling Clan's devouring power? How is this possible? Weren't they wiped out during

the Ancient Era?"

Her voice trembled with disbelief. As the clan leader, she knew all too well how terrifying the clan was.

The Tunling Clan was an ancient clan with the ability to devour the bloodlines of other clans. Legend had it that during the Ancient Era, they waged a brutal war against the other ancient clans, annihilating many of them and stealing their bloodline powers.

Eventually, the other ancient clans united and eradicated them...

So how could they still exist now?

As Ling Yuan was overwhelmed with shock, a pained grunt came from Nihility Devouring

Flame in the sky.

"Lord Nihility, what's wrong?"

Hun Huzi panicked and quickly asked.

"This... how is he here?"

Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes shifted toward the distant sky, murmuring in disbelief.
