From the four elder point of view, due to the heavy losses suffered by the Soul Clan and the imminent combined attack from the other ancient races, the Soul Clan was unable to hold on any longer. This was why Hun Tiandi thought of them and wanted them to take action.
After all, it was evident that the Soul Clan had suffered significant losses in order to obtain the other ancient races' pieces of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.
Except for the Shi and Ling Clan, the other ancient races were not easy opponents. With their combined strength and the visible power of the Soul Clan, it was clear that they were no match.
The Soul Clan's visible strength was only half of their true power, as there were numerous powerful beings hidden in this space.
Hun Tiandi shook his head and said, "This time, I want the four elders and the hidden strong ones to appear to deal with the Gu Clan."
"Hmm?" Hun Yao expressed his confusion, and the other three elders shared the same sentiment.
Hun Tiandi explained everything to the four elders, as he needed sufficient reasons for them to take action.
The four elders looked at Hun Tiandi with astonishment. Hun Yuan Tian was the first to speak, "Clan Leader, it seems like you've changed. Are you planning to attack the Gu Clan just for the sake of two insignificant sons?"
Initially, they thought that Hun Tiandi wanted them to take action because the Soul Clan's strength had been depleted in the battle for the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.
But now it seemed that things were not as they had expected. Their Clan Leader was asking them to take action to rescue his two unworthy sons, using up all the Soul Clan's resources.
Was this still the Hun Tiandi they remembered?
Hun Sheng Tian also spoke, "Clan Leader, this is unlike you! They are just two sons who have yet to mature. Why bother saving them?"
"You should know that we only have one chance to make a move, and it is precious."
In their view, as long as Hun Tiandi became a Dou Di-level powerhouse, losing two descendants with divine bloodlines was inconsequential. Hun Tiandi was the most important, and the rest were insignificant.
Hun Tiandi understood the thoughts of the four elders and said calmly, "I want to completely subdue the Gu Clan, not just to save my two useless sons but for something even more important."
"What is this important matter?" Soul Nie Tian, one of the four elders, asked.
Hun Tiandi replied, "Imperial-level Soul!"
"Imperial-level Soul?" The four elders were taken aback.
Hun Tiandi continued, "Yes, Imperial-level Soul. The Gu Clan possesses a method to break through to the Imperial-level Soul."
"Although we have obtained the eight pieces of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, fully fusing them into a complete Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade requires an immense and boundless soul power, which can only be achieved with an Imperial-level Soul."
"Oh!" The four elders nodded slightly.
Hun Yao said, "Clan Leader, isn't the matter of the Imperial-level Soul something that Void Devouring Flame should be concerned about? How come Void Devouring Flame hasn't broken through to the Imperial-level Soul after so many years?"
The rest of the three elders also looked at Hun Tiandi.
In order to help Void Devouring Flame reach the Imperial-level Soul, the Soul Clan had established an organization called the Soul Hall, dedicated to searching for soul bodies throughout the continent.
After so many years, even if Void Devouring Flame's soul power was not yet at the Imperial-level Soul, it should be close.
The Clan Leader, Hun Tiandi, had no reason to worry about being unable to fuse the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.
It was not something he should consider. If he wanted to save his sons, he should just say it directly. Why bring up the Imperial-level Soul?
Hearing this, Hun Tiandi raised his arm and extended his palm. A black flame rose from his palm, leaving the four elders dumbfounded.
"This... is Void Devouring Flame?" Hun Yuan Tian asked with surprise.
Hun Tiandi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is Void Devouring Flame. I have already devoured and refined him."
The words were not loud, but they shocked the four elders as if thunder had struck on a calm day. They found it difficult to believe.
Void Devouring Flame's strength was evident, and it was not an easy task to refine him. If Void Devouring Flame had retaliated, the consequences would have been grave.
But now, Hun Tiandi had successfully devoured him, and all they could say was, "The Clan Leader is impressive!"
Hun Tiandi continued, "Now, Void Devouring Flame is no longer reliable. You can only rely on me."
"The resources for my soul to break through to the Imperial level are with the Gu Clan. I have come here to tell you that it's time for you to take action."
"I am here to give you an order, not to discuss it with you."
"Understand?"
After speaking, Hun Tiandi scanned the four elders and the Soul Clan powerhouses behind them before leaving the forbidden area, leaving behind the four elders and a group of Soul Clan powerhouses, who were staring at each other without knowing what to say.
After a while, Hun Yao said, "We should also go out and show others that we are still alive."
"I hope we can help the Clan Leader! After all... he is the hope of the Soul Clan."
"Yes!" The other three elders nodded slightly, expressing their agreement. They stood up and the Soul Clan powerhouses behind them also moved, leaving the void space.
...
In the soul realm's vast void sky, ten warships, massive in size, carried powerful Soul Clan experts. This time, the Soul Clan was fully prepared, mobilizing its forces on a large scale.
Hun Tiandi already had the intention to annihilate the Gu Clan, so he naturally made thorough preparations. The Soul Clan powerhouses standing on the warships felt a sense of surrealism.
Especially for some Dou Sheng-level experts, they still vaguely remembered that the last time the Soul Clan made such a big move was when they annihilated the Xiao Clan.
At that time, most of them were still at the Dou Zun-level, but now, they had become Dou Sheng-level powerhouses. But the similarity with history was striking!
The last time it was the annihilation of the Xiao Clan, and this time, their target was the Gu Clan, the currently most powerful ancient race.
Unfortunately... it wouldn't be long before the Gu Clan disappears into the river of history just like the Xiao Clan.
Whoosh!
Hun Tiandi appeared on the central warship, and with his appearance, the four elders and the hidden powerhouses also revealed themselves and landed on the warship.
Seeing the appearance of the Dou Sheng-level experts, the powerhouses on the warship were all shocked and started discussing fervently.
They thought that the Soul Clan's foundation was already impressive, but they didn't expect more dozens of Dou Sheng-level powerhouses to appear. Could this be the true foundation of their Soul Clan? It was terrifyingly formidable.
The arrival of the four elders and the multitude of Soul Clan Dou Sheng-level powerhouses was all within the expectations of Hun Tiandi. With Hun Tiandi personally taking action, who would dare to disrespect him?
Hun Tiandi's voice echoed, "Set sail!"
