The three major demon beast families gathered in the Holy Sect to help the Holy Sect and block the Soul Palace.
The Taixu Ancient Dragon, the Sky Demon Phoenix, and the Nine Nether Earth Python were born at the same time, and with the addition of forces such as Danta and Fenyan Valley that had already joined the Holy Sect, the Soul Palace was ultimately unable to take action against the Holy Sect.
There was no other way. This force was simply too huge. In addition, the ancestor of Danta also gave Feng Xian and others a way to convey his message. With the secret help of such a super powerful person, the Soul Palace alone could no longer make the Holy Sect feel the crisis of destruction.
In desperation, the Soul Palace could only retreat.
The situation where even the Soul Palace Master could only return empty-handed in the end made the Holy Sect's prestige reach its peak in Zhongzhou.
After all, in the past, no force had been able to achieve such impressive results in the confrontation with the Soul Palace!
Coupled with the nameplate support of the three major magic beast families, for a time, the entire Holy Sect has become an existence above one tower, one hall, two sects, three valleys and four square pavilions in the mouths of countless people!
Of course, while fighting fiercely with the Soul Palace, the Holy Sect and others did not forget to pay attention to the place where the demon fire was born. It's just a pity that Yao Chen, Gu Xun'er and others still haven't received any news. The demon fire space and Lin Ran seemed to have completely disappeared.
Fortunately, the Holy Jade Order is still there, and everyone feels a little more at ease.
The Holy Jade Token can directly sense Lin Ran's presence, and can even communicate directly with Lin Ran to a certain extent.
Although no one can contact Lin Ran now, the perception between the two is still there.
However, just when all eyes in Zhongzhou were drawn to the battle between Soul Palace and Holy Sect.
A piece of news that shocked the continent came out quietly from nowhere.
The Stone Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, disappeared mysteriously again after the Spirit Clan!
For a moment, everyone felt a sense of weirdness, covering Zhongzhou...
The Stone Clan is one of the eight ancient clans.
Although their reputation is not as strong as that of the Ancient Soul Clan, but similarly, no one of the races that can become one of the eight clans is a simple bunch.
Moreover, the Shi Clan has always been low-key, and there are rarely any rumors about them in Zhongzhou.
However, being low-key does not mean being weak.
The power of the Stone Clan is actually quite strong, at least much stronger than the first Elf Clan that disappeared.
Their clan is also full of powerful people with strong foundation. Their clan leader is a top-level existence in the middle stage of Seven-Star Fighting Saint with unparalleled combat power!
However, such a super power with extremely strong foundation disappeared mysteriously again overnight. Just thinking about this situation makes people feel chilled.
The Stone Clan disappeared, just like the Spirit Clan.
Before disappearing, the space suddenly closed, and when the space opened again, the millions of tribesmen and descendants disappeared completely, without a single one left.
When waves of strong men from all sides entered the Stone Clan's space and looked at that quiet and lifeless space, they couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the soles of their feet to their hearts.
What kind of terrifying existence is this that just wiped out the existence of millions of people?
And among these millions of people, there are countless top stone tribe masters!
The news of the Shi Clan's disappearance spread across Zhongzhou like a whirlwind. All forces were stunned by the shocking news.
Some people with keen senses vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and had a feeling that a storm was about to come.
After all, these ancient races were all extremely powerful and had survived for thousands of years. However, in just less than a few years, two races disappeared out of thin air.
This kind of thing is accidental if it happens once, but if it happens twice, there must be something fishy going on.
What's more, the methods used by the two tribes to disappear were exactly the same, which made it clear at a glance that the murderer who wiped out the Spirit Tribe and the Stone Tribe should be the same person or the same force.
And on this continent, as far as ordinary people know, there are only two forces that can quietly wipe out ancient races such as the Elf and the Stone.
They are the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan!
For a time, many suspicions and doubts were directed towards these two forces.
As for these suspicions, the Soul Clan did not make any statement, which is consistent with their usual style.
But the ancient tribe felt a little troubled.
They originally had good relations with other ancient races, but with the disappearance of the Elf and Stone Tribes, the relationship between them immediately became awkward. The other races obviously began to doubt and fear them, and even some of the regular interactions in the past were interrupted.
The ancient clan seemed a little overwhelmed by this unexpected disaster, but they were more confused.
As one of the most powerful forces in the entire continent, if it wasn't done by the Ancient Clan, then it could only be the Soul Clan. But if the Soul Clan was really the mastermind behind this, then how could they possess such terrifying abilities?
The Soul Clan is stronger than the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan, but their strength is limited.
While concealing the detection of the Ancient Clan and many powerful beings, they wiped out the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan without anyone noticing. This kind of power is simply not something that the current Soul Clan or the Ancient Clan can do.
Could it be that there is another kind of terrifying existence in this world that they are not aware of? !
For a time, all kinds of suspicions shrouded Zhongzhou and the ancient races.
Faced with all those suspicions, the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan remained silent.
Facing the silence of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, the only three remaining clans among the eight ancient clans, the Medicine Clan, the Thunder Clan, and the Flame Clan, suddenly announced an alliance one month after the Stone Clan disappeared, calling themselves the "Three Clan Alliance"!
The establishment of the "Three Clan Alliance" is probably an extremely powerful shock to any force.
From ancient times to the present, this is the first time that an alliance formed by three ancient races has appeared. After all, there are all kinds of competition and confrontation among these races. It is not easy to abandon all alliances.
But this time, under the threat of an unknown crisis, the three tribes all felt uneasy.
None of them want to be the next Eldar or Stonefolk.
However, since the mysterious black hand was able to wipe out the Eldar and Stone tribes silently, it should not be too difficult to wipe them out.
If we want to preserve the bloodline of our race, there is no other way than to join forces!
However, what made other forces in Zhongzhou feel slightly relieved was that after announcing the alliance, the three tribes did not make any further moves to advance into Zhongzhou. Instead, they used great means to connect the spaces of the three tribes. In this way, if one side was attacked, the other two sides would be able to quickly provide support through the space channel.
As the space channel between the three tribes was formed, the three tribes gradually became as solid as iron. At this time, they were able to put their minds at ease a little, and then began to send strong men to constantly enter and exit the Stone Tribe space, hoping to find some evidence and find out the mastermind behind the scenes...
…
Of course, they couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes, so the matter of the ancient race had to come to an end in this way.
The clash between the Soul Palace and the Holy Sect did not end there. The strength between the two can now be considered equal. Although the Holy Sect has three major magic beast families, the Soul Palace, backed by the Soul Clan, still has a strong enough foundation.
The two sides are constantly clashing. Today you attack my branch temple, and tomorrow I will attack your sect.
As time went by, the conflicts and frictions between the two sides became more and more intense.
But what really troubled the people in the Saint Sect was that there was still no news about Lin Ran...
…
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. The collision between the Holy Sect and the Soul Palace in the outside world was still in full swing, but in the Demonic Fire Space, changes were slowly occurring.
The blazing fireball had long since transformed into a pink-gold crystal ball as energy condensed and absorbed. The crystal ball was suspended in mid-air, its surface shimmering with occasional faint flames leaping up, like an elf, filled with spirituality.
And now, something strange finally appeared in this crystal ball.
"Ka-ka-ka…"
Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound was heard in the demon fire space, and a crack slowly appeared on the surface of the crystal ball. With the appearance of this crack, more and more cracks gradually spread across the entire crystal ball, just like broken glass.
"Bang!"
After the cracks spread all over the crystal ball, the crystal ball was suddenly shattered by a force. Then, an extremely dazzling pink-gold light shot up into the sky and turned into a light curtain, pouring down from the distant sky!
In the beam of light, a figure was suspended.
He has a slender figure, well-defined muscles, and black hair draped over his shoulders, looking extremely handsome and cool.
Suddenly, his eyes flew open, and two golden rays of light whizzed out like sharp blades, cutting through space with unparalleled power.
Those bright eyes were sharp and intimidating. If one looked closely, one would find some extremely tiny flame lotus marks deep in the pupils.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The imprint was extremely deep. If one stared at it for a long time, a strange suction force would emanate from it, as if even a person's soul could be pulled into it!
Who else could such a person be, except Lin Ran? !
"It was completely absorbed."
Looking at the demon fire space which had not changed much from before the retreat, Lin Ran murmured softly, feeling the cultivation in his body.
After devouring the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, his cultivation level suddenly rushed to the early stage of the Seven-Star Douluo, which was a leap of three stars compared to the four-star Douluo level when he had just begun to absorb the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.
This level of cultivation result can be described as a rapid improvement, but Lin Ran was not surprised.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan and Xun'er devoured the power of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire together, which successfully allowed Xiao Yan to be promoted from a two-star Dou Sheng to a five-star Dou Sheng, and Xun'er to be promoted to the late four-star Dou Sheng level.
And now, this power was swallowed up by Lin Ran alone.
Although it is very difficult to upgrade the levels between Douluo Saints, Lin Ran still managed to break through from a four-star Douluo Saint to a seven-star Douluo Saint!
"Now, I can finally be considered one of the top masters in this continent."
Lin Ran murmured.
Seven-star Fighting Saint, this strength is already the level of top combat power of the ancient races. The Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan all have the cultivation level of Seven-star Fighting Saint, and Lin Ran has also reached this level.
Of course, cultivation is secondary. The most important thing is his strange fire.
"laugh!"
Lin Ran slowly raised his hand, and a pink-gold flame ignited from the palm of his hand.
Different from the strange fire spirit that was born after Xiao Yan swallowed the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in the original work, the strange fire in Lin Ran's hand at this moment is still in the "flame" state.
The pink gold fire was burning in Lin Ran's palm, like a dream.
This strange fire was not the Pure Lotus Demon Fire devouring the Holy Gold Meteorite Heart Fire, or the Holy Gold Meteorite Heart Fire devouring the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, but was the result of the fusion of the two strange fires.
This strange fire not only possesses the terrifying explosion of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and the power of the Fallen Heart Flame to burn the mind and soul, it also possesses the ability of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame to burn everything, and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to purify everything!
"From now on, you will be called the Pure World Holy Heart Flame."
The Holy Heart Flame of the World Purifying Saint trembled slightly, as if responding to Lin Ran. Lin Ran raised the corner of his mouth, moved his palm slightly, and retracted the Holy Heart Flame of the World Purifying Saint.
Next, it's time to go out.
Looking at the blazing demonic fire space in front of him, Lin Ran raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a little pink and golden Holy Heart Flame of Purification emerged from Lin Ran's fingertips.
With a stroke of his finger, the space that was big enough to render many five-star Dousheng powerful men helpless was torn into a huge crack by Lin Ran.
With one step forward, Lin Ran's figure also disappeared between heaven and earth...
…
Demon Fire Plain.
Two years ago, this place was full of towering mountains, and two years later, it turned into a white plain.
This plain was naturally created when the Pure Lotus Demon Fire came to the world two years ago. At that time, the numerous mountains here turned into nothingness in an instant, and the earth turned into a magma zone. However, later with the closure of the Demon Fire space, the magma desert here gradually solidified and finally turned into this plain.
And here, there are several figures, quietly sitting cross-legged in the space, practicing.
The most beautiful one among them is the figure of a young girl.
She had a beautiful figure, with long black hair cascading down to her slender waist like a waterfall. Her delicate face was expressionless as she sat cross-legged, practicing quietly. However, her occasional frown showed that she was feeling uneasy.
This person is Xun'er.
After coming out of the Demon Fire Space, Xun'er has never left, and two years have passed since then.
In the past two years, Xun'er has been quietly waiting for Lin Ran here and has never left for a single day. Even when the Stone Clan was destroyed and people from the Ancient Clan wanted to take Xun'er back, Xun'er directly refused.
"I'll be waiting here, A'ran."
She said this, and even when Gu Yuan came here in person, she still refused to leave.
Helplessly, Gu Yuan could only sigh that girls should not be kept as they grow up, and he could only let Xun'er be like this. After leaving a few tricks on her, he returned to the clan.
Xun'er's restless heart made it impossible for her to enter the state of cultivation. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at the space in front of her with a complicated expression, and murmured.
"It's been two years... Ah Ran, how are you doing..."
"Have you been waiting for me?"
Suddenly, a voice with a hint of heartache sounded behind Xun'er, causing the lovely girl's delicate body to tremble suddenly.
She turned around in disbelief and saw the figure she had been thinking about day and night. She said in disbelief, "Ah, Ah-Ran?!"
"Feel sorry."
Lin Ran gently took Xun'er into his arms.
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
