Chapter 297: Gu Yuan Appears, Crisis Averted!
At this moment, in the sky.
Three figures slowly appeared as the space rippled.
In an instant, the sky and clouds seemed to part, as if divine soldiers had descended.
Leading the trio was Gu Yuan, dressed in a majestic robe, his aura as imposing as a mountain. Following closely behind him were Gu Fei and Ling Xi, both with solemn expressions.
Nihility Devouring Flame's immense, black-flame body trembled slightly, and a flicker of shock appeared in his deep, black-hole-like eyes.
"Gu Yuan? How did he get here?"
His low and hoarse voice was filled with disbelief.
This sudden development froze the entire battlefield.
The once-despairing members of the Ling Clan raised their heads, and hope reignited in their eyes.
The name 'Gu Yuan' was like an insurmountable peak, symbolizing the supreme power of the Gu Clan on the Dou Qi Continent.
Ling Yuan's once pale face flushed with excitement, her eyes shining with a glimmer of hope. Yes!
Just moments ago, the entire clan had resigned themselves to their fate.
Now, with his arrival, the clan leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Clan Leader Gu Yuan!"
Her small frame trembled slightly.
The other clan elders were also overjoyed, as if they had grasped their last lifeline.
They knew that as long as he took action, today's crisis could be resolved.
The smug expression on Hun Huzi's face vanished instantly, replaced by shock and fear.
"It's really him..."
"Impossible! Our actions were incredibly secretive- how could he have found out so quickly?"
Panic flashed in Hun Huzi's sinister eyes.
"Gu Yuan, how did you find out about this?"
Nihility Devouring Flame's massive body slowly turned towards him, his voice filled with shock.
It was clear that Void Devouring Flame's earlier arrogance had instantly disappeared.
He was deeply wary of Gu Yuan.
"You dare to act, but you're afraid of being discovered?"
He cast a cold glance at him, a mocking smile tugging at his lips.
Nihility Devouring Flame was rendered speechless, unable to respond.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Tunling Clan? I never expected the disgusting abilities of this clan to resurface on the continent."
Gu Yuan's gaze fell on the black-flame creatures on the ground, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes.
"Last time, you narrowly escaped with your pathetic life. This time, I won't give you another chance..."
His eyes sharpened suddenly, and his aura exploded like an impending volcanic eruption.
Nihility felt the overwhelming killing intent from him and couldn't help but shudder.
"Hmph, I am a creature born from the heavens and earth! Do you really think you can kill me? You believe I'm still at the same as before?"
The next moment, he quickly steadied his nerves and let out a cold snort.
Before he finished speaking, his palms shot forward.
In an instant, boundless black flames erupted, sweeping across the sky like an ocean. A terrifying suction force surged from within him, as if it intended to devour everything in the world.
"Let's see if you can last longer than before..."
Faced with this earth-shattering scene, his expression remained unchanged, and there was even a trace of amusement in his eyes.
As the black-hole-like suction enveloped everything, everyone held their breath. Even Gu Fei and Ling Xi looked serious, not daring to make any rash moves.
However, in the next moment, something that left everyone dumbfounded happened.
Without moving a muscle, Gu Yuan unleashed a vast sea of Dou Qi around him. The energy within carried a terrifying soul impact, crashing out like tidal waves.
"This petty trick might scare off the younger generation, but..."
"Your devouring power is useless against me."
His calm voice echoed, as if stating a simple fact.
In the face of this overwhelming power, the incoming black flames shattered like fragile paper, instantly disintegrating.
Countless fragments of black flames scattered in the sky, resembling a bizarre black rain.
Immediately after, Gu Yuan raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and swung them forcefully.
A dazzling golden energy mass instantly formed in his palm, exuding an aura of immense power, like a volcano erupting in his hand.
"Boom!"
He struck out with his palm, sending the golden light mass shooting across the sky like a meteor, straight towards Nihility Devouring Flame.
Under the force of this strike, his massive body was sent flying, crashing heavily into a distant mountain peak. The towering mountain instantly collapsed, dust and debris filling the air- a
truly spectacular scene.
"No wonder he's at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Saint!"
Gu Fei was deeply shocked as he watched Gu Yuan effortlessly repel Nihility Devouring Flame.
He realized the vast gap between himself and the clan leader.
The members of the Ling Clan were also left dumbfounded by what they saw.
They could hardly believe that the terrifying Nihility Devouring Flame, who had seemed like
an unstoppable demon to them, was so easily overpowered.
"Damn it! If only I had advanced to the Soul God realm..."
He struggled to emerge from the rubble, filled with frustration.
He recalled how the destruction of the Soul Hall's two main halls had severely hindered his ability to accumulate soul power.
Later, the Soul Hall's attempt to harvest souls through wars in the North-Western Region was also thwarted by the Gu Clan, slowing his progress to elevate his soul realm.
Gu Yuan did not give him any chance to recover. In a flash, he appeared in front of him.
"Die!"
With a fierce shout, his body radiated with golden light. Each strike he unleashed carried world-destroying power, forcing Nihility Devouring Flame to retreat continuously.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several loud explosions rang out as his enormous body was riddled with wounds. Black flames continuously leaked from his injuries, and he seemed on the verge of collapse.
"Lord Nihility!"
Hun Huzi was filled with terror as he watched.
He knew very well that if he was killed, the Hun Clan's grand plan would be completely
ruined.
However, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as he was beaten like
a dog. The sense of powerlessness made him feel deep despair.
But the overwhelming pressure radiating from Gu Yuan was enough to make him realize one
truth:
At this moment, he absolutely must not move!
Even a single movement... Would mean death!
At this thought, Hun Xuzi trembled slightly.
"Boom!"
Just as he was about to land another palm strike on Nihility Devouring Flame, a massive
spatial rift suddenly tore open beside him.
In the next moment, a gigantic black hand reached out from the pitch-black rift, and collided violently with Gu Yuan's golden palm in mid-air.
