Chapter 47 Digging Your Own Foundation Will Lead to Certain Death
All of this seems slow, but it is actually done in an instant. This is the real battlefield, where things change in an instant, and no one can guarantee that they will be the final winner until the very last moment!
When he finally realized what was happening, Void Devouring Flame's gaze towards Tang Zhi changed several times, his eyes filled with astonishment. Then, a wisp of pitch-black flame emerged from his fingertips and struck Tang Zhi.
Seeing this, Tang Zhi quickly moved to avoid the strange fire. Before he could get far, a wisp of Void Devouring Flame landed where he had been, quickly engulfing the ground and creating a large crater several tens of feet in diameter.
Seeing this, a chill ran down his spine. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would probably have been burned to ashes by now. Faced with such a terrifyingly devouring flame, he probably wouldn't have lasted long. This was the closest he had ever come to death. No one can remain calm in the face of death!
Looking again at the nearly formed spatial wormhole in the distance, his heart was filled with sorrow. "Now I can't even escape? Am I really going to perish here today?" He had tried to escape many times during the previous battle, but the Soul Emperor and his companion had anticipated this, so his attempts had failed each time, which was why he had taken this risky step. But this method could only be used once. After this incident, the Soul Emperor and his companion would surely be even more vigilant, making escape even more impossible.
"No, I'm not reconciled! Even if I die, I will make Soul Emperor and the other two pay the price!" Tang Zhi roared in his heart. Thinking of this, he regained his confidence and fighting spirit, and once again used his fighting skills to attack Soul Emperor.
However, the two Soul Emperors were already prepared. They unleashed the same fighting technique, and the two techniques collided in mid-air, producing a piercing explosion.
Immediately afterward, another battle technique infused with Void Devouring Flames attacked him. Tang Zhi was no match for it and could only dodge. However, at this moment, yet another battle technique struck him. It seemed that Soul Emperor and the other were determined to finish him off quickly and completely.
With tigers in front and wolves behind, he had no way out.
"Soul Emperor, have you already got me cornered? Let me tell you, I'll make you pay for your crimes even if I die! I'll make you pay with your blood!" With that, his aura surged, surpassing the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.
Tang Zhi is not a member of the eight ancient clans, so he does not have their methods of using clan markings to enhance his strength, nor does he have any powerful secret techniques to enhance his strength. The reason why his strength has increased now is entirely because he is burning his essence blood and severing his own foundation in order to gain temporary strength.
Seeing Tang Zhi's self-destructive actions and sensing the ever-increasing aura emanating from him, the Soul Emperor immediately retreated and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The Void Devouring Flame wasn't blind either; it had already retreated before the Soul Emperor warned it.
Having gained terrifying strength, but unfortunately severely injured, he clenched his fist and unleashed a fighting technique towards the two people in the distance. Upon seeing this, the two hurriedly used their fighting techniques to defend themselves, but this time Tang Zhi's strength was different from before, and even with the combined strength of the two, they could barely withstand his fighting technique.
After several exchanges of blows, both Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame were severely injured. The repeated attacks caused Soul Emperor's old wounds to flare up, and the combined effect of the two injuries was far more severe than simply one plus one equals two; in addition, it caused him excruciating pain. Now, Soul Emperor was completely powerless to resist, and one more battle technique would be enough to kill him!
The situation of Void Devouring Flame was not much better. Because Soul Emperor was seriously injured, he had been the one charging ahead all along, so his injuries were naturally the most severe.
"Pfft!" Just as the battle was about to end, Tang Zhigang, who was in the distance, wanted to use his fighting skills, but suddenly he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his aura dropped rapidly, and he quickly fell from the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and he was still falling rapidly.
Realizing his current situation, Tang Zhi knew that he would not be able to completely eliminate the two people in front of him today. He had to leave quickly, otherwise he would not only fail to eliminate them, but would also be killed by them.
"Consider yourselves lucky!" he said resentfully, then used all his strength to open a spatial wormhole, stepped into it, and the wormhole slowly closed under the watchful eyes of the Soul Emperor and the other two.
The two of them didn't try to stop him, not because they didn't want to, but because they were simply incapable of doing so. Besides, even if they wanted to stop him, they would have had enough time for Tang Zhi to leave, so they could only watch helplessly as he escaped right in front of them.
"Soul Emperor, what should we do? Should we send people to hunt them down?" Void Devouring Flame asked.
"Forget it. He burned his life essence and dug his own foundation. Even if he wanted to catch up, he couldn't. Besides, you saw what happened before. His strength was constantly declining. He is doomed. No one in the world can save him! If we push him too far and he self-destructs like Xiao Xuan, our Soul Clan will suffer unnecessary casualties."
"Alright, let's leave first." With that, Void Devouring Flame also opened a spatial wormhole and left.
In order to stop Tang Zhi and avoid being discovered by others, Void Devouring Flame deliberately chose a remote and desolate place. It was precisely because of this that the three of them fought for so long without being discovered by others. Otherwise, the two of them would have had to go through the trouble of cleaning up this mess.
After returning to the Soul Clan, the two went into seclusion to recover from their injuries, and at the same time, the entire Central Continent became incredibly peaceful.
...
Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a terrifying aura emanated from Xiao Feng's secluded cultivation place. Its power spread throughout the entire inner layer, but the other clansmen did not seem too surprised, as if they had already taken it for granted.
That's right, it's become commonplace. For the past hundred years, Xiao Feng has been in seclusion, cultivating diligently. With his exceptional talent and the aid of countless elixirs, he has broken through several realms in a century, and scenes like today's are commonplace. The clansmen have gone from initial shock and surprise to eventually becoming accustomed to it and numb to it.
Boom!
The stone door slowly opened, and a figure gradually emerged from it.
It was Xiao Feng, who had just come out of seclusion! Xiao Feng, who had just stepped out, suddenly stopped and closed his eyes.
Obviously, he was blinded by the bright light. After all, he had not stepped out of the secret chamber for a whole hundred years.
