Douluo: Starting from the Spirit of Time Worm

Gu Lie recognized Xiao Yan by Qing Meng sitting on his shoulders, so he didn't attack.

The Great Elder of the Xiao Clan attacked Yan Jin without hesitation.

"What?"

Faced with the Great Elder's unexpected move, Yan Jin didn't dare to be careless, changing his move midway and forcibly altering the direction of his attack.

He swung his right palm, colliding with the Great Elder's fist.

The Great Elder had been planning this for a long time, while Yan Jin had forcibly changed his move midway. In this collision, Yan Jin didn't gain any advantage, retreating several steps, letting out a muffled groan, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged as he faced the Void Flame's finger imprint. He discovered that the Void Flame's power didn't seem as terrifying as it had displayed above the Medicine Ceremony.

Vast soul power surged out, and after forming a hand seal, he used his strongest soul combat skill.

"Soul Guiding Spear!"

Soul power condensed into a long spear, which he thrust forward fiercely.

The soul spear collided with the energy finger imprint, causing the Void Flame to falter, while Xiao Yan quickly retreated.

However, Gu Lie blocked him.

The power displayed by the Soul Clan was too strong. Gu Lie judged that only by allowing Yan Jin to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng would their side have a greater chance of winning.

Although Xiao Yan could now contend with an Eight-Star Dou Sheng, he relied on soul power. His own cultivation was only at the Five-Star Dou Sheng level, and even if he absorbed the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame, his strength wouldn't undergo a qualitative change.

From a strategic perspective, Gu Lie proposed his plan, saying succinctly:

"Xun Er's Golden Emperor Burning Flame and the Yan Clan's Volcanic Rock Flame are for you, and the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame is for Clan Leader Yan Jin!"

He believed that Gu Yuan and Yan Jin would also agree. As for the loss of Xun Er's Golden Emperor Burning Flame, as long as they could defeat the Soul Clan, they could compensate her afterward.

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "Sorry, I still prefer the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame."

"You haven't refined it yet. In this situation, can you even escape?" Gu Lie said calmly.

"Whether I can escape or not, I'll only know after trying!" Xiao Yan's eyes were firm. How could he give up something he already had in hand?

If he didn't have control over the Heavenly Tomb, he might have compromised after careful consideration, but there was no such "if." As long as he left the Demonic Flame Space, he could directly open the Heavenly Tomb and enter it.

Once he was in the Heavenly Tomb, even Gu Yuan couldn't do anything to him!

However, the Ancient Refining Formation had disappeared, and the Demonic Flame Space had regained its stability, making it difficult to tear it open. To get out, he could only go through the entrance.

In the current situation, this was a significant challenge.

Looking at Xiao Yan's resolute face, Gu Lie still didn't attack first, and the other three had already surrounded him.

The Void Flame's eyes flickered. Although according to the agreement with the Xiao Clan, he couldn't attack once their people had obtained it, an agreement was just an agreement, and whether or not to abide by it was another matter.

Moreover, Xiao Yan was now separated from the Xiao Clan. If the Soul Clan's people succeeded, he probably wouldn't know about the agreement and would continue to attack.

He looked at the Great Elder of the Xiao Clan, who didn't respond.

The five people were deadlocked for a moment. The Void Flame was concerned about the Xiao Clan and didn't dare to act rashly. Gu Lie also had concerns and didn't attack first. The Great Elder of the Xiao Clan would definitely protect Xiao Yan. Yan Jin wanted to attack, but he couldn't figure out the attitude of the others.

In the end, Yan Jin broke the deadlock, saying:

"Let's stop for now. How about we work together to make this kid spit out the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame? We can't let others benefit from our infighting."

No one responded.

Just then, a starlight-filled slash tore through the Demonic Flame Space, landing in the magma ocean with a bang, stirring up a huge wave.

This was Xiao Zhan's move. The distance between him and Lei Ying and the Demonic Flame Space was getting closer and closer. After Lei Ying dodged his attack, this move happened to land on the Demonic Flame Space.

Sensing the opportunity, Xiao Yan immediately used the passage torn open by the slash to retreat.

Xiao Yan was stunned. This palm just now gave him a very strong sense of crisis. Although he didn't know why this black-robed man would help block it, he didn't hesitate. After thanking him, he casually drew open the gate to the Heavenly Tomb.

"See you later!"

After shouting at Yan Jin and the others, he disappeared into the Heavenly Tomb.

Yan Jin wanted to pursue, but was bounced back by the closing gate. Xiao Yan used the power of the Heavenly Tomb itself to reject all visitors.

"Damn it," Yan Jin's face was ugly.

Gu Lie's expression didn't change much. Although from a strategic point of view, it would be best for the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame to fall into Yan Jin's hands, he could accept Xiao Yan getting it.

The Void Flame's eyes flickered, but he wasn't too angry.

The four living dead elders, the Soul Clan's trump card, hadn't been revealed yet. The Soul Clan still held an absolute advantage against the Xiao Clan.

As for the Three Clan Alliance, based on the power the Soul Clan had displayed, they could handle it in conjunction with the Xiao Clan.

Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan also stopped fighting, looking at each other from a distance.

Soul Emperor said calmly, "Gu Yuan, I've given you many opportunities. You will regret repeatedly rejecting my proposal to join forces."

Gu Yuan responded coldly, "I really should have destroyed the Soul Clan at all costs back then."

A smile appeared on Soul Emperor's face:

"Hehe, that was indeed the weakest time for my Soul Clan, and the best opportunity for your Gu Clan, but it's too late now.

"Wait for the moment when I break through to Dou Di and rule the world. At that time, I won't offer such generous conditions anymore. It's either submission or death!"

Gu Yuan frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

… …

In the Gu Clan, the shouts of killing shook the sky. Various combat skills flew constantly in the air, and from time to time, powerful individuals were injured or fell.

Soul Mi held a cyan-green wooden sword that didn't look sharp, as if it were a toy, fighting with Gu Dao.

"You dare to invade my Gu Clan? Do you think bringing this little bit of people is enough?" Gu Dao's face showed obvious anger.

Soul Mi had a faint smile on his face: "It's not quite enough, but our purpose isn't to destroy your Gu Clan…"

In order to deal with the Gu Clan, the Soul Clan had dispatched almost all of its experts. Three Sword Saints, Soul Qianmo, and so on, all participated in this raid.

However, within the Gu Realm, there were many arrangements left by the Gu Clan, and not all of the Soul Clan had come, so after the initial raid caused some chaos, the situation became deadlocked.

"The Four Demon Saints have gone to the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame, right? To only send you three young people over here, are you underestimating the Three Immortals of my Gu Clan?" Another old man in the late stage of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng had killing intent in his eyes.

His opponent, Soul Qiu, didn't say a word, his face showing no change in expression, only silently making moves and countering moves.

Seeing that Soul Qiu and Soul Dan were at a disadvantage when fighting against one of the Three Immortals, Soul Mi said:

"Form the formation. We're a little lacking in one-on-one combat."

"Formation…" Looking at the Soul Clan's Three Swordsmen gathering together, their auras intertwined, Gu Dao's face showed a solemn expression.

In the chaotic battlefield, a pair of pure black eyes, without a trace of white, stared at the girl with golden flames burning on her body, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"The Gu Clan's God-rank bloodline… Soul Xiao, that idiot in the Heavenly Tomb, stopped me from attacking you. This time, I won't let you escape."

Soul Feng and Soul Yu approached Xun Er silently, one in front and one behind.

Soul Xiao noticed their movements, curled her lip, and ignored them, choosing Gu Qingyang as her opponent.

She was completely focused on participating, only using 50% of her strength, fighting somewhat absentmindedly, placing more attention on her surroundings, lest someone from the Gu Clan, like Soul Feng and Soul Yu, target her, the young leader of the Soul Clan.

Suddenly, an urgent alarm sounded, the sound coming from the direction of the Gu Clan's ancestral hall.

"Crap, Gu Yu!" Gu Dao's expression changed.

"Stop him, Elder Gu Yang has betrayed us!" The urgent shout, amplified by Dou Qi, spread throughout the heavens and earth.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to this, Soul Feng and Soul Yu attacked Xun Er.

… …

In the Flame World, two god-like figures stood high in the sky, recklessly releasing their own auras.

The terrifying pressure overwhelmingly enveloped the entire Flame World.

Feeling the terrifying auras of these two people, which were no less than those of their own clan leader, the people of the Yan Clan activated the clan's protective formation at the first moment.

"Is this the Flame World? It's much bigger than my Xiao World…"

"As expected of a Dou Di's remnant clan that hasn't declined…"

The two casually chatted, seemingly at will, but their muscles were tense all over. Facing the Yan Clan's protective formation, they didn't dare to be careless.

"Second Elder, it's been a long time since we've seriously attacked, hasn't it?"

"Haha, Third Elder, let's try the power brought by the spirit insect after the breakthrough together!"

… …

Above the Thunder World, four black-robed people continued to release their pressure, and the Thunder Clan's experts were on high alert.

All four concealed their faces, but the long, slender white legs of the leader were impressive.

In addition, there was a small man with a pair of flying combat skills refined from the wings of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix on his back.

"Who are you, daring to run wild in the Thunder World?" Lei Dong looked at the few people with a cold face.

"Jie jie jie… The Thunder World only. If it were the Gu Realm, I would be wary," Xiao Ning, a Seven-Star Dou Sheng in the later stage, said with a strange laugh.

"Your clan leader isn't here now, right? The remaining people aren't able to make us wary," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Lei Dong instinctively felt that the ages of the four people in front of him were not old, and he was shocked. In addition to the Four Demon Saints, the Soul Clan also hides such experts?

"Not good, Elder Lei Nuo has betrayed us and fled with Gu Yu!" A shout came.

"So your target is Gu Yu?"

"Well, but you found out too late." Xiao Yu struck out a palm, restraining the Thunder Clan's experts and creating an opportunity for the Soul Clan's insider to escape.
