Chapter 690: Yin Spirit Ghost Flame

Sigma Hitesh

Shi Yan hovered in the abyss deep underground. His face was as still as water, while his mind was seething. Shi Yan felt his heart sink into a dark pit.

If the Ghost Mark Clan had a patriarch that was more powerful than Comoros, it would be a big catastrophe pouring on Human Clan.

This clan had a deep grudge against humanity. They had made killing the entire Human Clan their goal. Anyway, with their mighty force, Human Clan would be eradicated soon.

According to Cassidy, the top priority of his patriarch wasn鈥檛 the Human Clan, as he had laid his eyes on the Demon Clan. Otherwise, Shi Yan would have had no time or chance to break through to the True God Realm.

While he had so many thoughts in his head, Cassidy attacked him.

"Soul Drawing!"

Cassidy sneered. His ten fingers wiggled, releasing an energy that could tear the soul.

Ten flows of strange soul fluctuation that naked eyes couldn鈥檛 see coiled around Shi Yan like tenacious ropes, tightening gradually.

Cassidy had eaten the bitter fruit once. He knew that once soul energy entered Shi Yan鈥檚 Sea of Consciousness, something strange would happen. This time, he was more careful, as he didn鈥檛 send his ten flows of soul energy into Shi Yan鈥檚 Sea of Consciousness, but turned them into invisible ropes and wound around Shi Yan鈥檚 body.

A furious pulling force appeared from the ten soul ropes. It seemed that it could coil Shi Yan鈥檚 newly formed God Soul, dragging it from the altar.

Shi Yan discolored drastically.

The God Soul was the root of a warrior, which stored the Life Seal and the Seals of Upanishad. Once it was dragged out of his body, it meant his life had come to an end.

Cassidy鈥檚 power Upanishad had aimed at the God Soul. He wanted to forcefully drag Shi Yan鈥檚 God Soul out of his body. Once the God Soul was pulled out, he couldn鈥檛 perform many of his martial techniques. At that moment, he would become a fish that he could cut as he pleased.

Of course, Shi Yan wouldn鈥檛 stay idle.

"Burn!"

A thought crossed Shi Yan鈥檚 mind. He shouted, and a white jade flame sparked from his eyes. In the beginning, it was small. Shortly, it had turned into a seething fire sea covering his entire body. Flows of white-jade flames twirled around him like water.

Cassidy鈥檚 ten soul ropes were covered, sizzling in an immense gray mist. They were all burned down.

"Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame! Heaven Flame!"

Cassidy discolored in fright. Eventually, he understood why he had to face the bitter result so many times. He paled immediately.

The Ghost Mark Clan was good at using Soul Upanishad. Their supernatural abilities had a close relationship with soul. That was also why they had become one of the most powerful, evilest clans. Many human beings, despite their higher realms, had only a tragic ending under their terrifying soul attacks.

However, it was no doubt the soul class defensive treasures were the things the Ghost Mark Clan was afraid of the most. And, the heaven flame that could burn all kind of soul energies was no doubt their nemesis!

Thus, seeing the white-jade flame covering Shi Yan, Cassidy felt as if someone had punched him in the face. He felt so bitter.

His ten soul ropes were burned completely. Cassidy鈥檚 God Soul got hurt the second time. He hurried to back off, as his face distorted terribly.

The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame seemed to have an unclear grudge against the Ghost Mark Clan. After it appeared, the flame hesitated for a while before dashing towards Cassidy, as if it had to burn the man into ashes. Cassidy hastened to run away, urging the mysterious power to resist the flame.

Other Ghost Mark Clan鈥檚 members around them scattered in fear, trying to find the way to hide from the flame. However, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame burned their souls.

The Ghost Mark Clan wasn鈥檛 good at using the other power Upanishads. If they were another clan, although the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame had locked them, they could use the other techniques or energies to counter.

However, the power this clan was cultivating was related closely with souls. All the barriers, formations, and defense they had released depended on soul energy. When they met the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, their archenemy, they could only be termed as unlucky, as their barriers and restrictions would be burned as soon as the flame touched them. Gradually, they had no defensive power left.

The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame seemed to have a big grudge against the Ghost Mark Clan. After it had flown away from Shi Yan鈥檚 altar, it kept chasing after the Ghost Mark Clan鈥檚 members, burning their souls. As it had burned the souls of dozens of the Ghost Mark Clan鈥檚 clansmen, it was still gazing at Cassidy.

Another expert of the Ghost Mark Clan was struggling to resist the flame. However, he could do nothing but run away as fast as possible.

Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was one of the heaven flames, and it was also the nemesis of this race. They had no way to resist its force. At this moment, they couldn鈥檛 do anything else but leave. They needed to avoid this disaster first, only then they could have time to think of the countermeasures.

Shi Yan gawked, dropping his jaws.

Only at this moment did he finally understand the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame鈥檚 intimidation. Where the white-jade flame swept over, all the soul fluctuations were washed away. Members of the Ghost Mark Clan had no way to withstand it.

Soon, members of the Ghost Mark Clan quickly left the abyss, leaving several hundred bodies while running for their lives.

A flow of white-jade white flame took one circle and then returned to Shi Yan. Like a jade flower, it exposed the eccentric beauty of danger in this abyss.

Bo Ruo, Gu Da Si, and the hotshots of the Demon Clan couldn鈥檛 say anything. Their eyes brightened as they exhaled in relief.

It was strange that the three Yama King didn鈥檛 leave or try to support the Ghost Mark Clan.

"I have a grudge against this race," the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent its thought to Shi Yan when it came back. "People of this race had sealed me. They couldn鈥檛 kill me, so they decided to confine me."

Shi Yan suddenly recognized it.

It was true. When he was in the place of the Dark Devil Clan in the Chasm Battlefield, he got the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame in the Yin Beast Mountain. The Dark Devil Clan was a branch of the Ghost Mark Clan.

So, the one who had sealed the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was related to the Ghost Mark Clan.

This wasn鈥檛 a surprise. The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame鈥檚 features had made it the nemesis of the Ghost Mark Clan. This race had to find any means they could reach to destroy this flame.

Letting it survive meant planting an indefinite seed of danger for the clan, which they wouldn鈥檛 know when it would sprout and kill them all. If Shi Yan were the hotshot of the Ghost Mark Clan, he would try many things to seal the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame as well.

Where are Bao Ao and Jie Ji?" Shi Yan turned around, looking at Bo Ruo and Gu Da Si. "You guys separated?"

Bo Ruo was a member of the Horned Dragon Clan. Her long hair cascaded along her body, touching the ground. Her face was as beautiful as a gem, decorated with her phoenix eyes. Hearing him, she snorted and then said, "The two masters are in another area. Stronger enemies are attacking them. Because of you, they have joined hands and attacked our masters."

Shi Yan was surprised.

At this moment, he found that the creature in the dim halo weren鈥檛 staying with the three Yama Kings. Also, Shi Yan didn鈥檛 see the hotshots of the other clans like Comoros, Corpse Chief, and Kante. From this situation, he could assume that Bao Ao and Jie Ji were in big trouble.

"It鈥檚 the Demon Clan who had raised the dispute," Yama King Abi harrumphed. He coldly looked at Bo Ruo and Gu Da Si. "If the patriarch of the Ghost Mark Clan hadn鈥檛 been revived, you guys would have killed them all. You have triggered this great war. Of course, we won鈥檛 stay idle and let you slaughter us."

Bo Ruo and Gu Da Si darkened their faces.

"If you guys want to do whatever you want and open the First Demon Area, we have to destroy the Demon Clan," shouted Yama King Hei Tian.

The three Yama Kings glared at Shi Yan. Their visages were strange, as if they considered Shi Yan their delicious prey. The three Yama Kings didn鈥檛 talk more. They gathered their followers and left after the Ghost Mark Clan.

Shi Yan didn鈥檛 understand anything, but he had a strange, uneasy feeling in his heart.

From the looks of the three Yama Kings when they left, they seemed to be interested in him more, as if he had something marvelous on his body. This surprised him a lot.

Shortly, all the members of the Dark Clan had retreated.

Bo Ruo pinned up her long hair, adjusting her clothes. In the next moment, she returned to look like an elegant, handsome young man. However, her complexion was cold like a gloomy, sharp sword.

"Abi, Hei Tian, and Hades might have sent the news already. He... will come soon." Bo Ruo frowned, whispering to Shi Yan. "Why did you use the heaven flame? It will bring more troubles."

Shi Yan squinted, talking faintly. "Why do you say so?"

"The dim halo that Abi, Hei Tian, and Hades have protected carries the soul of the Dark Clan鈥檚 sage. That soul has the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame. If he knows you have heaven flames, he will come and collect your flames. Heaven flames can absorb each other. If he can absorb your heaven flames, his soul will become more intimidating," Bo Ruo explained agitatedly.

A streak of light sparkled in Shi Yan鈥檚 eyes.

In the Antiquity Time, a sage of the Underworld had fallen into bedevilment during his cultivation. His body got shattered, and his soul had sunk into the Yin Spirit Ghost Sea of the Underworld. It then gathered the billion Yin Spirits of the Yin Spirit Ghost Sea to evolve into the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame.

The Yin Spirit Ghost Flame contained the knowledge of the martial path of the Underworld鈥檚 sage. If the Dark Dweller got it, he could become the new leader of that Dark Dwellers generation. The Yin Spirit Ghost Flame could control the Yin Spirit and the wandering ghosts. It was ranked number six among the heaven flames, and was the most suitable flame to the Dark Clan.

According to Bo Ruo, the creature that the three Yama Kings Abi, Hei Tian, and Hades had protected was the soul of a sage of the Dark Clan. He had the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame, but he didn鈥檛 have a body. At this moment, he still had many weaknesses.

If he could absorb some heaven flames and get stronger, he could use the scorching power of the heaven flame to condense a new body. At that time, he would be extremely intimidating.
