Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Blazing Holy Flame, Purifying All

Not long after the massive mushroom cloud rose from Tang Xiao's self-detonation, two figures with extraordinary auras soared into the sky, gazing toward the eastern night sky.

"Sword, what's going on over there?"

Faintly sensing a violent soul power fluctuation from the distant east, Gu Rong pondered for a moment and asked Chen Xin at his side.

"Not clear, too far away."

Chen Xin shook his head. The distance was too great to detect specifics.

"Tsk~, such a huge commotion, could it be that invincible-in-the-sky fellow from Spirit Hall making a move?"

Clicking his tongue, Gu Rong spoke uncertainly.

Indeed, though a soul master's self-detonation was only a single strike, the instant commotion it caused often far surpassed a full-powered attack.

The self-detonation of Tang Xiao, a peak rank 96 Titled Douluo, made Gu Rong, over three hundred li away, mistakenly think it was an ultimate Douluo-level powerhouse taking action.

"Old bones, you're fast, your body is tough, how about you go check it out?"

Casting Gu Rong a glance, Chen Xin "sincerely" suggested.

Don't think that because Gu Rong was known as a defense-type Titled Douluo, his speed was slow. In fact, because his Bone Dragon spirit possessed spatial attributes, the renowned Bone Douluo's speed was not much worse than an agility-type Titled Douluo of the same level. In terms of strange movement techniques, Gu Rong could even crown the entire soul master world.

"Why don't you go?"

Gu Rong rolled his eyes.

"I'm no match for such ultimate powerhouses, so I won't go courting trouble."

Chen Xin said indifferently.

Unexpectedly, if there really were powerhouses fighting in that direction, what could he do if he went?

Eat melons? Be careful not to become the melon himself.

Unless the commotion came from Heaven Dou City—where allies in need required the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's aid—if the matter exceeded their capacity, Chen Xin would not go meddling.

Cowardly? No, no, no. This was not cowardice, but rather the prudence of knowing oneself.

"Pssh~"

Casting Chen Xin a disdainful glance, Gu Rong sighed and shook his head.

You, Chen Xin, play it safe, but do you think I, Gu Rong, don't?

Mm, best wait until daybreak, if nothing happens, then go check. Even if it's a big melon, he probably couldn't digest it; eating the leftovers was enough. Curiosity killed the dragon, after all.

Coincidentally, within Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo also faintly sensed the disturbance from the east.

Having some sense of his own limits, Dugu Bo restrained his impulse to rush over immediately. Instead, he dispatched someone to the imperial palace to inform Emperor Xue Beng of the disturbance he had faintly perceived.

Everywhere the eye could see was filled with dazzling light. Under the violent impact of Tang Xiao's self-detonation, Mu Yang—wreathed in golden flame—was blasted away.

The icy-flame wings behind him flapped frantically. Swept hundreds of meters by the shockwave, Mu Yang finally managed to stabilize himself midair.

Like the Invincible Golden Body, the Undying Flame could immunize against damage below the divine level, but the impact force of the attack still affected him.

Staring at the colossal mushroom cloud illuminating the night sky, even though he had seen self-detonations before, Mu Yang was still "stunned" by the spectacle before him.

If not quite a hardcore "nuclear mushroom cloud," the grandeur was certainly no less than that of a massive-yield conventional missile or thermobaric bomb explosion from his previous life.

"Mu Yang, are you alright?"

At this moment, Shui Bing'er flew over, face filled with concern.

"I'm fine. The Undying Flame can immunize all damage below god level. Tang Xiao's self-detonation couldn't hurt me."

Mu Yang shook his head.

"That's good. Your spiritual power is strong, so go collect the soul bones blown apart by Tang Xiao's self-detonation. I'll go help Auntie and the others."

Seeing that Mu Yang was unharmed, Shui Bing'er nodded, then flew toward the Clear Sky Sect encampment to help finish things up.

Before long, the entire battlefield was pacified. Apart from the "defecting" Second Elder, Sect Master Tang Xiao and the four elders, along with over two hundred direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, were annihilated.

"There truly is no eternal soul master clan. As mighty as the Clear Sky Sect was, did it not also perish tonight?"

In midair, gazing at the ruins of the Clear Sky Sect, Mu Yang could not help sighing inwardly.

But then again, tonight's destruction of the Clear Sky Sect, the one most deserving of thanks might not be Mu Yang, but rather the Rakshasa God—unknown to most.

If not for the Rakshasa God's treachery during Tang Chen's god trials, Tang Chen might not have become the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City, but rather one of the five Supremes—the second-generation Asura God King.

When one ascends, even chickens and dogs rise with them. With a Supreme God King as backing, who would dare touch the Clear Sky Sect?

With a God King at their back, the entire Douluo Continent might have borne the surname Tang.

After the Clear Sky Sect's fall, came the most delightful stage—gathering spoils of war.

Back when Spirit Hall forced Clear Sky Sect into seclusion, gold soul coins were scarce, but soul bones—these inheritable treasures—were not few.

As one of the three great clans of the continent and once the number one sect, even though many experts had been lost when the sect closed itself, and many soul bones were lost, the current stockpile was still considerable.

Casting a glance at the waiting Second Elder, Mu Yang stirred his thoughts and cast him into True Illusion.

Soon, under continuous mental attacks, this rank 94 Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect had his soul obliterated, his life extinguished.

Thus, aside from some disciples possibly out hunting soul beasts, only Tang Chen—the great fish—remained of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Wonder if Qian Daoliu will thank me?"

Thinking of Tang Chen, Mu Yang couldn't help linking it to Qian Daoliu, who had regarded Tang Chen as his life's rival.

Uh~, if thanks were truly given, Mu Yang only hoped this soon-to-sacrifice strongest on the continent would stay obediently in Spirit City, uninvolved.

An hour later, after scouring the spoils.

As expected, just the haul of soul bones left the Elemental Sacred Academy richly rewarded.

Seventeen years ago, when forced into seclusion by Spirit Hall, none of the five elders of Clear Sky Sect had reached the Titled Douluo level.

Yet seventeen years later, all five had become Titled Douluo.

Previously Mu Yang suspected, but dared not be fully sure. Now he was certain.

It wasn't that these five had extraordinary talent. Rather, each of them possessed more than one high-year soul bone, with some over fifty thousand years.

Perhaps some of the five had the potential for Titled Douluo, but for them all to attain it, the primary reason was the refining of high-quality soul bones.

This was akin to twin-spirit masters adding rings to their second spirit, using the sudden boost to break through bottlenecks.

Thus, the fact these five could all become Titled Douluo reflected the Clear Sky Sect's deep heritage.

But now, this heritage belonged to the Elemental Sacred Academy.

Of course, though Clear Sky Sect's foundation was decent, and the number of soul bones was not small, there was no hundred-thousand-year soul bone—at least, none in the sect treasury or on Tang Xiao and the others.

Afterward, the group of eleven who annihilated the Clear Sky Sect set off back to the Elemental Sacred Academy.

Behind them, Iceflame Fire burned within the Clear Sky Sect grounds, icy-blue flames exuding a biting chill, like pure holy fire, purifying all corpses and bloodstains within the ruins.
