121. Secrets of the Mainland
Lu Huangtian was taken aback by Gu Yuan's question, then his eyes flashed with disdain as he burst into unrestrained laughter. "Hahahaha, those trash of the Devouring Spirit Clan are nothing but servants manipulated by the Holy Clan!" Lu Huangtian's astonishing words even made Gu Yuan frown. Clearly, Lu Huangtian's answer had surprised him. Looking at the now-worried Gu Yuan, Lu Huangtian felt a surge of satisfaction and mocked, "Why do you think the Devouring Spirit Clan, a race far surpassing yours, exists on the Dou Qi Continent? It's simply because we bestowed upon them some cultivation methods and spellcasting techniques. And that's the power of the Holy Clan; even a small contribution is unimaginable to you lowly servants!"
As Lu Huangtian began to explain, Gu Yuan waved his hand, isolating this space. Although Xiao Yan didn't quite understand what Lu Huangtian meant, the impact was definitely unimaginable. And clearly, Gu Yuan didn't treat him like an outsider; at least he hadn't kept this matter from him.
The old doctor was completely unfamiliar with all of this. The only thing he knew was that the Devouring Spirit Clan was once a family on the Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Yan found it quite strange along the way. The Xuanwen Sect's method of refining patterns was almost unheard of to him. Now it seemed that the Xuanwen Sect's power did not belong to the Dou Qi Continent. This made some things that Xiao Yan had almost completely forgotten suddenly appear in his mind.
Xiao Yan always felt that it was very important content, but his memory was becoming increasingly blurry, and he was almost completely forgetting it. However, when Lu Huangtian mentioned it, he seemed to vaguely remember some of it.
After listening to Lu Huangtian's explanation, Gu Yuan suddenly looked at him strangely and said, "The Devouring Spirit Calamity back then almost affected the entire continent. You're telling me that the situation back then was all because of you?"
Lu Huangtian's strength was only a five-star Dou Zun. Although Gu Yuan thought his aura was indeed somewhat magical, in the eyes of a Dou Sheng expert, a Dou Zun was nothing more than someone who could be killed with a wave of his hand. Lu Huangtian's words were not credible at all.
How could something that could become such a behemoth as the Devouring Spirit Clan be in such a desolate state as it is now?
When Lu Huangtian heard Gu Yuan's question, the disdain in his eyes intensified, a look of contempt from a superior towards an inferior.
"A commoner is a commoner. You don't think this mere Dou Qi Continent is the whole world, do you?"
Although Lu Huangtian repeatedly provoked Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan's expression remained largely unchanged. He wasn't angered by Lu Huangtian's words; instead, he asked, "Judging from the brief mentions in ancient texts, there are likely other worlds beyond the Dou Qi Continent, and they are very likely more advanced than the Dou Qi Continent."
"That's right, and my Holy Clan will definitely become the true ruler of the entire Great Thousand World. How can your mere lower plane contain the methods of the Holy Clan? Without your lowly bloodline, the methods of my Holy Clan would actually be suppressed. Otherwise, you would be no different from a dog in front of me."
Seeing the extremely arrogant Lu Huangtian, Xiao Yan was sweating profusely. No matter how he looked at it, Lu Huangtian's words seemed to be courting death. Although Lu Huangtian was not flustered at all, Xiao Yan felt immense pressure standing next to him. This was a genuine Dou Sheng powerhouse!
Xun'er's expression was somewhat unnatural, while Gu Yuan remained completely calm.
"You so-called Devouring Spirit Clan were originally just insignificant beings in your ordinary plane, merely a small experiment we conducted. The facts prove that even a small part of the Holy Race's methods is beyond your resistance! It's only because the Devouring Spirit Clan is so foolish that they didn't even consider the source of this power, and almost exposed the Holy Race's existence!"
After listening to Lu Huangtian's explanation, Gu Yuan's eyes showed a look of relief: "No wonder there were so many doubts about what happened back then. Thank you for clearing up the mystery."
Gu Yuan then waved his hand, and the blood-red eyeball appeared in his grasp. He laughed, "This thing can absorb a person's blood and soul, and it also has a strong ability to break through boundaries. All your actions are for this thing, aren't they?" Lu Huangtian saw the eyeball held in Gu Yuan's hand, and for the first time, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes. He said, "The secret techniques of my Holy Clan are more than ten times stronger than those of the Dou Qi Continent. You are already considered a strong person in this world. Why don't we cooperate with the Holy Clan? In the future, we can at least become the rulers of this continent." Xiao Yan felt his scalp tingle upon hearing these words. The rulers of the continent—what a terrifying existence that was! Gu Yuan pondered Lu Huangtian's words for a moment. Just as Lu Huangtian was about to continue persuading him, a cold glint appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes, and the blood-red eyeball in his hand turned grayish-white, then gradually began to dissipate into dust, disappearing as the dust drifted away.
The once invincible, blood-red eyes that had wiped out over ten million people in Tianlan City were instantly reduced to ashes.
Lu Huangtian saw Gu Yuan destroy the blood-red eyeball. His veins bulged, and he was about to speak when he found his body turning grayish-white, then turning to ashes and disappearing like the blood-red eyeball.
"Those who are not of my kind will surely have different hearts. The Devouring Spirit Clan has become a scourge to the entire continent; how could I possibly give you a chance?"
..
This is an absolutely dark realm, so distant from the Dou Qi Continent that it cannot even be expressed in words, and it doesn't even exist in the same plane. Most people spend their entire lives living in the world they were born into; those who can cross planes and worlds are extremely rare, and such a region is almost never entered.
A terrifying aura began to brew here; it was a truly terrifying power, and also an absolute stillness, an absolute stillness that was the opposite of life!
At this moment, within this absolutely dark realm, two voices began to communicate.
"My lord, a trace of our clan's aura was detected over there just now!"
"Hmm? Which direction?"
"The one we noticed before, a group of Holy Race servants went to investigate it."
"Our goal is clear. That lord has already given instructions: that so-called Great Thousand World is our target!"
"So you're ignoring it?"
"Even if the lower planes are inferior, they are still servants of the Holy Race. How can we ignore them? Send five ordinary members of the race!"
"Five ordinary clansmen? That's probably enough to destroy that plane ten times over!"
"This world will eventually belong entirely to my Holy Race. This is just a very, very small step!" After the two finished their conversation, the area returned to darkness and deathly silence.
