Chapter 054: Kneel

"What nonsense are you thinking, Hun Tiandi?" Hun Tiandi no longer conceals his intention to devour Void Devouring Flame.

Void Devouring Flame stops pretending as well. It's time to lay it all out.

Void Devouring Flame looks at Hun Tiandi with an unpleasant expression and says, "Hun Tiandi, you better think it through. If you lay a hand on me, more than half of the Soul Clan will be buried with me."

At this point, Void Devouring Flame gives a sinister and eerie smile, resembling of a villain from a martial arts novel. His laughter is so eerie and terrifying that it sends chills down one's spine and makes one want to urinate.

Sure enough, when Hun Tiandi hears Void Devouring Flame's words, he stops in his tracks and asks, "What do you mean, Void Devouring Flame?"

"What do I mean?" Void Devouring Flame's evil smile intensifies.

He says, "When I chose to cooperate with your Soul Clan, with you, Hun Tiandi, I knew this day would come. Over these thousands of years, it was because of me that your Soul Clan managed to preserve its almost complete lineage of Dou Di. But I left a little something in your precious Dou Di bloodline."

"It was to prevent something like this from happening. As long as you, Hun Tiandi, dare to lay a hand on me, a large number of your clan's powerful individuals will self-destruct."

"If half of the powerful individuals self-destruct silently, without a trace, it would probably be enough to destroy the entire Soul Clan, right?"

"Hun Tiandi, I don't think you want to become a commander without any subordinates, do you?" Void Devouring Flame looks at Hun Tiandi with a bloodthirsty smile.

The methods he left behind were meant for unexpected situations, and now they are truly being put to use. It shows how far-sighted he was back then.

"Sneaky!" Hun Tiandi stands still and, upon hearing Void Devouring Flame's words, looks at him with an unpleasant expression.

"Sneaky?" Void Devouring Flame shrugs and says, "It takes one to know one!"

"You, Hun Tiandi, tried to assimilate me while I was weak. You are the truly sneaky and shameless one. We have had a relationship for thousands of years."

"I never expected that you would choose to attack me when I was at my weakest."

As Void Devouring Flame speaks, he can't help but sigh lightly.

Where is the love they promised?

Have things changed?

Or is it that love has faded away?

Have they forgotten the running under the setting sun, during the youth that has passed and cannot be regained?

Hun Tiandi sighs lightly and says, "I also didn't expect that you, Void Devouring Flame, would leave some tricks within the bloodline of my Soul Clan."

"Could it be you've forgotten that you possessed the pinnacle of Heavenly Realm's complete soul power and the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng? All of this was bestowed upon you by the Soul Clan. Without the Soul Clan, you wouldn't know how many tens of thousands of years it would take for you to cultivate these powers on your own."

"Forget? No, I haven't forgotten. But Hun Tiandi, don't forget that the powerful Dou Di bloodline of the Soul Clan has thrived until now because of me."

"We have always cooperated and supported each other."

"And now... you want to attack me. Are you even human?"

...

Hun Tiandi says, "You're right, we have always cooperated and supported each other, but now you are too weak."

"In your pursuit of mastering the 'Flame Mantra,' you dissipated your power. Look at you now, only a Nine-Star Dou Zun, not even a Half-Step Dou Sheng. With your current state, what qualifications do you have to cooperate with the Soul Clan?"

"The premise of cooperation is that both sides have comparable strength. Only then can it be a win-win situation. But now, you simply don't have the qualifications to cooperate with the Soul Clan."

"Give up resistance! Let me assimilate you. We would become one, maintaining a cooperative relationship. Why not embrace this opportunity?"

As he finishes speaking, Hun Tiandi takes action.

He moves again.

Hun Tiandi continues to walk toward Void Devouring Flame, with a smirk on his face, a wicked smile.

"Stop! Aren't you afraid that I'll bury the entire Soul Clan with me?" Void Devouring Flame shouts angrily, looking at Hun Tiandi approaching him.

Sure enough, Hun Tiandi pauses upon hearing Void Devouring Flame's words.

Void Devouring Flame breathes a slight sigh of relief, but he still can't completely let go of his guard.

The smile on Hun Tiandi's lips widens.

He looks at Void Devouring Flame and says, "Make the Soul Clan accompany you in death? Void, have you overthinking things?"

"If you were still a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, saying such words, I wouldn't doubt it for a moment. But now... Do you have the strength to make the entire Soul Clan accompany you?"

"What do you mean, Hun Tiandi?" Void Devouring Flame's heart sinks as he hears Hun Tiandi's words, sensing a bad omen.

Hun Tiandi smiles and looks at Void Devouring Flame.

He says, "Void Devouring Flame, we have cooperated for many years, you understand me, and I understand you as well. Do you think I wouldn't know about the methods you left within the Soul Clan bloodline?"

Void Devouring Flame first froze for a moment, then sneered and said, "So what if you know? You can't remove the methods I left within the Soul Clan's Dou Di bloodline. At least all these years have passed, and you know about it, but you still haven't removed them, have you?"

"The methods I left behind, besides me, no one can remove them unless they reach the level of Dou Di."

"But reaching the level of Dou Di is not so easy now. It requires Source Qi."

"Therefore, Hun Tiandi, you have no choice but to cooperate with me!"

"Hehehe..."

At this point, Void Devouring Flame laughed again.

"Hun Tiandi, for the sake of our many years of relationship, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and this matter will be over."

"We will still have a cooperative relationship!"

"Kneel down?"

"Kowtow?"

Hun Tiandi muttered Void Devouring Flame's words and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Hasn't Void Devouring Flame realized his own situation until now?

Hun Tiandi: "Just kneel down and kowtow? Is it that simple?"

Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's response, Void Devouring Flame didn't think much and carefully pondered Hun Tiandi's words.

He felt that it was indeed a little too light.

But they would still have a cooperative relationship in the future.

There was no need to make it so unpleasant.

Void Devouring Flame said, "Kneel down and kowtow, then release my clone. That would be enough."

"After all, we have had such a close relationship for many years, right, Tiandi?"

"Correct!"

Hun Tiandi nodded, smiling slightly. "You're right, we do have many years of relationship!"

"So..."

"Kneel! Tiandi!"

Void Devouring Flame looked at Hun Tiandi with a hint of anticipation.

Then he thought of something and continued, "There are only the two of us here. If you kneel down for me, only you and I will know about it, the fact that the Soul Clan's Clan Leader is kneeling and kowtowing."

"You don't have to feel pressured at all."
