Chapter 055: Resigned Void Devouring Flame

Void Devouring Flame's lips curled up, revealing an extremely sinister smile.

"Hehehe..."

A chilling laughter emanated from Void Devouring Flame's mouth. It seemed as if everything was within his expectations.

He could already envision the scene where Hun Tiandi would kneel before him.

What did they say about the stolen chicken not eating the rice?

This was it!

Hun Tiandi had intended to devour him while he was weak, but now the tables had turned, and Hun Tiandi had to kneel instead.

...

Hun Tiandi watched the sinister laughter of Void Devouring Flame without interrupting his delusion. He simply looked at him, his gaze as if he was looking at a complete fool!

How arrogant was Hun Tiandi?

As one of the pinnacle powerhouses on the entire continent, he was being asked to kneel?

Seriously?

Even if there were only the two of them here, why should he kneel?

Was it even possible for him to kneel?

And besides...

Why should he kneel?

...

Void Devouring Flame also noticed that Hun Tiandi had been staring at him all along and ceased his sinister laughter.

His gaze fell upon Hun Tiandi and he asked, "Hun Tiandi, why aren't you kneeling?"

From Hun Tiandi's gaze, Void Devouring Flame could discern that Hun Tiandi was looking at him as if he were a complete fool.

That's right!

It was a gaze resembling that of looking at a fool.

Void Devouring Flame understood Hun Tiandi well.

This was the look Hun Tiandi had right now.

Hun Tiandi looked calmly at Void Devouring Flame and said, "Why should I kneel?"

"What reason do I have to kneel?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will trigger the Dou Di Bloodline within the bloodline of the powerful beings of the Soul Clan?"

Void Devouring Flame was momentarily stunned but then spoke with a deep voice.

"You trigger them? What does that have to do with me? Why should I kneel before you?"

Hun Tiandi shrugged his shoulders and looked at Void Devouring Flame with a seemingly foolish smile.

"???"

Void Devouring Flame's mind went blank upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words. Clearly, he hadn't expected Hun Tiandi to respond like this. It greatly exceeded his expectations.

Void Devouring Flame quickly regained his composure, his black flames flickering with a hint of confusion. He asked, "Hun Tiandi, do you really not care about the fate of the Soul Clan?"

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi burst into laughter and looked at Void Devouring Flame.

"Void... We have been cooperating for so long. What kind of person am I, Hun Tiandi? Don't you know?"

"Do you think you can threaten me with the Soul Clan? Are you serious?"

"Don't you, Void Devouring Flame, know that I, Hun Tiandi, am willing to do anything to achieve my goals?"

"I, Hun Tiandi always focus on the results. As for the process? Is it important?"

"You..."

It took Void Devouring Flame a while to recover from Hun Tiandi's words.

He then said, "I never expected that you, Hun Tiandi, would choose to sacrifice the Soul Clan to refine me."

"Without the Soul Clan, can you, Hun Tiandi, alone contend against the six ancient races? Do you really think you can?"

Hun Tiandi's words frightened Void Devouring Flame because he knew Hun Tiandi well. This was exactly the kind of person Hun Tiandi was—unscrupulous to achieve his goals.

He was truly afraid that Hun Tiandi would sacrifice the entire Soul Clan just to refine him.

Although it was impossible, Void Devouring Flame didn't want to be refined. He hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor yet. He wasn't willing to be refined without becoming a Dou Di.

Therefore...

He absolutely wouldn't allow himself to be refined.

Hun Tiandi looked indifferently at Void Devouring Flame and said, "Void, you should know that the Soul Clan is both my concern and my shackles."

"If the Soul Clan is gone, I, Hun Tiandi, will be free from shackles. Where on this continent can't I go?"

"Who can stop me?"

"Who can hinder me?"

...

As the words fell, Hun Tiandi continued to walk toward Void Devouring Flame.

"Good..."

"Very good..."

"A heartless and ruthless Hun Tiandi who is willing to do anything to achieve his goals. I don't believe that you truly disregard the life and death of the Soul Clan," Void Devouring Flame said through clenched teeth.

He raised his arm.

On the palm of his hand, a mist of blood appeared. The mist gradually transformed into countless fine bloodlines, each representing a powerful member of the Soul Clan.

As long as he clenched his hand and destroyed the bloodlines, all the powerful members of the Soul Clan would self-destruct.

Silent and unnoticed!

Without any warning.

The bloodlines appeared in the palm of his hand, and Void Devouring Flame prepared to crush them, ready to accompany his own demise with the fall of the Soul Clan.

But...

Soon!

Void Devouring Flame realized that his body was no longer under his control. He tried to crush the bloodlines but couldn't move at all.

Void Devouring Flame was horrified!

He used all his abilities but still couldn't move.

"What... is happening?"

Void Devouring Flame was completely dumbfounded.

Then he looked at Hun Tiandi, who was slowly approaching him. He couldn't move, and there was an inextricable connection between his immobility and Hun Tiandi.

Hun Tiandi met Void Devouring Flame's gaze and said in a faint tone, "Void... If you were still a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, I would fear you. I would still choose to cooperate with you."

"But now... with your power at the Ninth star of Dou Zun, you are nothing before me, a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng. You don't even have the power to resist."

"You still want to sacrifice the entire Soul Clan for your sake? But now, you don't possess such strength."

"Now, with just a thought from me, a powerful surge of soul force can render you immobile, like a statue. With your current state, how can you make the entire Soul Clan accompany you in death?"

"Now, you... are not worthy."

"Since the moment you chose to cultivate the Flame Mantra, you have become unworthy of cooperating with the Soul Clan or making them accompany you in death."

"Now, you are nothing more than a waste."

"Hun Tiandi, you..."

Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Void Devouring Flame's face turned ugly.

If it weren't for his body being controlled by Hun Tiandi, Void Devouring Flame was determined to fight Hun Tiandi to the death, no matter what.

In the past, when Hun Tiandi needed him, he was called Void and treated like a brother.

But now...

He was no longer needed, so he was called a waste.

Is there such a person?

A scumbag!

Void Devouring Flame wanted to punch Hun Tiandi's chest with his fist, but that was only possible if he could move.

But now, he couldn't move at all.

...

Void Devouring Flame finally accepted reality and said, "Hun Tiandi, from the moment you gave me the Flame Mantra, you were waiting for this moment, right?"

At this moment, Hun Tiandi had already arrived in front of Void Devouring Flame.

Everything was under his control, and he wasn't in a hurry to refine Void Devouring Flame. After all, refining Void Devouring Flame was a lengthy process that couldn't be rushed.

Hun Tiandi looked down at Void Devouring Flame, with no hint of concealment, and said, "Yes, I gave you the Flame Mantra, waiting for this moment."

"In fact, whether or not you cultivate the Flame Mantra is up to you. If you hadn't cultivated it, with your strength, I wouldn't be able to touch you."

"Unfortunately..."
