Chapter 349: Refining the Nihility Devouring Flame!
The sky was filled with dark clouds, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled, as if the end of the world had arrived.
On the ground, bottomless chasms crisscrossed, mountain peaks collapsed, and the earth was cracked. Countless powerful Hun Clan members were reduced to dust under the immense power, unable to even let out a scream.
When the dust settled, the warriors of the Six Clan Alliance finally snapped out of their shock. As they looked around, they saw that the Hun Realm was now unrecognizable, with terrifying cracks everywhere.
The Hun Realm was now a wasteland.
Gu Yuan slowly stood up from the rubble, his face pale and blood at the corner of his mouth. His dignified face was full of exhaustion.
"It's over," he murmured to himself.
Beside him, Yan Jin and Lei Ying also staggered to their feet.
"Haha!" Lei Ying laughed out loud, his voice filled with excitement.
"Hahahaha!" Yan Jin couldn't help but join in the laughter.
In the distance, Yao Dan and Ling Yuan rushed over as well. Though they were affected by the aftermath of Hun Tiandi's self-destruction, their injuries were not severe.
"Gu Yuan, we owe this victory to you," Yao Dan said sincerely, his eyes full of admiration.
"Indeed, without your efforts, we might not have won," Ling Yuan nodded repeatedly, her tone filled with gratitude.
"The victory of this battle was the result of the united efforts of our six clans. Gu Fei played an irreplaceable role as well," he shook his head modestly.
As he spoke, his gaze shifted towards Gu Fei to check for any injuries. But his body was glowing with golden light, his face ruddy, seemingly unharmed.
As the group conversed, a sudden commotion erupted in the distance.
With Hun Tiandi's self-destruction, chaos had engulfed the entire Hun Realm.
"Everyone, the Hun Clan has lost all ability to resist. It's time to eradicate this scourge once and for all!" Gu Yuan's deep voice was filled with decisiveness.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. A cold gleam flashed in their eyes, showing they had no compassion for the Hun Clan.
"Attack!"
At the command, the Six Clan Alliance surged like a tide toward the remaining areas. No one was left alive wherever they passed. Countless Hun Clan members wailed in fear, powerless against the flood of destruction.
In the sky, streaks of light tore through the heavens, forming a massive web that enveloped the entire Hun Realm. On the ground, groups of powerful warriors raced by, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake.
Buildings crumbled into ash in the flames, and countless ancient texts were burned. The Six Clan Alliance seemed determined to erase all traces of the Hun Clan's existence from the continent.
This massacre continued for three days and nights. By the time the last Hun Clan member fell, the Hun Realm had been reduced to scorched earth.
The once-prosperous Hun Clan was thus wiped from the annals of history.

"Clan Leaders, since the Hun Clan has been annihilated, how about we gather to discuss the next steps?" Gu Fei suggested.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Soon, the higher-ups of the clans gathered in a relatively intact palace. Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and Lei Ying sat at the head, with other powerful warriors seated on either side. The atmosphere was solemn and heavy.
"Everyone, we have achieved a great victory, and the Hun Clan is now history," Gu Yuan said, his gaze sweeping over the assembled crowd.
"However, there are still some matters we need to discuss."
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the matter of how to handle the Nihility Devouring Flame was something that required careful thought.
"Everyone, I promised not to lay claim to it," Gu Fei said calmly.
"Today, I will bring it out, and you can decide how to deal with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his hand, and a pitch-black fire lotus appeared out of thin air. The fire lotus emitted a terrifying aura, as if it could devour everything.
The onlookers gasped in shock. The Nihility Devouring Flame was ranked second among the Heavenly Flames, and he had taken it out so casually. It was astonishing.
"Before, there were concerns. How about we seal it today?" Gu Fei suggested openly.
This statement left the group exchanging glances in disbelief.
He was actually making such a suggestion!
After all, the Nihility Devouring Flame was a priceless treasure that countless experts dreamed of possessing.
Just as everyone was silent, Yan Jin spoke up.
"Gu Fei, such a rare treasure from heaven should not be wasted."
"Since you have the ability to fuse Heavenly Flames, why not take it for yourself?"
Yan Jin's eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Fei.
"Indeed, your strength is outstanding. If you can merge with the Nihility Devouring Flame, your power will certainly reach new heights," Lei Ying agreed, smiling approvingly.
They were well aware of the situation. With the Hun Clan destroyed, the Gu Clan was now the most powerful.
Not only was Gu Yuan formidable, but even Gu Fei could defeat easily both Lei Ying and Yan Jin.
Under these circumstances, giving Gu Fei this opportunity, and making him owe them was clearly a wise move.
Hearing this, Gu Fei frowned slightly.
"Your kind offer is appreciated, but-"
"There's no need to decline," Yao Dan interrupted, smiling warmly.
"After all your contributions to the alliance, it's only fitting that the flame is yours."
The others quickly echoed their agreement.
Looking around and seeing the firm attitudes, Gu Fei nodded slowly.
"In that case, I will graciously accept."
He smiled slightly.
"By the way, what about the ancient god jade from the Hun Clan?" Ling Yuan suddenly asked.
Everyone paused in surprise.
"How about letting the Gu Clan hold onto it?" Ling Yuan suggested, turning to Gu Yuan.
With the Gu Clan now the strongest, entrusting them with the jade was the safest choice.
"Since everyone trusts us, I will humbly accept the responsibility," Gu Yuan said after a moment of contemplation.
The news of the Six Clan Alliance's victory swept across the continent like a whirlwind.

In the Gu Clan.
Inside a secluded cave, Gu Fei sat cross-legged. With a flick of his hand, the pitch-black fire lotus appeared once more.
"Nihility Devouring Flame, do you know the method to create the Transforming Pill Ring?" Gu Fei asked calmly.
(TL/n: I wonder why this isn't inlcuded in the wiki. I had to look up the OG novel. It's a technique created by Tou She Ancient God to turn the embryonic Di Tier Pill back into his original pill form.
Otherwise the Di Tier Pill in human form is equal to a half-step Dou God powerhouse- easily contending against four peak Nine-Star Dou Saints.
Reading through chapter 1633 made me realise that it was btth wiki that has the description for Half-Step Dou God WRONG, not me. Only Xiao Xuan, Yellow Springs Demon Saint and Pure Lotus Demon Saint were ever said to be in that realm. There were never any mentions of Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi doing the same.)
The fire lotus trembled slightly, as if responding to his question.
"And what about the embryonic Di Tier Pill? Do you know its weakness?" Gu Fei frowned, continuing his questioning.
(TL/n: Di Tier Pills are above 9th Tier Golden Pills.)
The fire lotus trembled again, seemingly transmitting some sort of information.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Clearly, he had gotten the answers he sought.
He was well aware that the Di Tier Pill, a relic of the Ancient God's inheritance, was nearly impossible to subdue without the Transforming Pill Ring.
In the next moment, he formed a seal with his hands, and an immense amount of Dou Qi surged from his body. A terrifying suction force exploded outward, enveloping the pitch-black fire lotus.
Buzz!
The fire lotus shook violently, emitting mournful cries. However, under Gu Fei's overwhelming will, it eventually surrendered. The lotus slowly melted, transforming into pure energy that flowed into his body.
