"The Soul Flame reigns supreme in the Imperial Capital, a terrifying power that even the Royal Family covets. Wang Fei is entwined by the Soul Flame, inevitably doomed."

"A pity, a pity. I thought I would witness the martial artists of the province defeating the strong races today, but now it seems nothing more than a pipe dream."

"The strong races of the Imperial Capital have such deep roots, how could a brat with barely grown hair possibly contend with that?"

The Soul Flame is one of the reasons the Zhou family can stand tall in the Imperial Capital and become a strong race.

Even within the Zhou family, only a select few of the main line have the eligibility and talent to master this power. Once unleashed, it directly burns the soul, needing not to harm the body, dispersing a martial artist's soul with no hope of recovery.

And the Soul Flame that Zhou Yan wields is even more terrifying than that of Zhou Yao. As soon as it was released, it soared into the sky, entwining Chu Nan's Blood Pattern Sword.

This was not the end; the Soul Flame climbed along the blade of the Blood Pattern Sword, quickly wrapping around Chu Nan's flesh.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Nan's body was completely devoured by the Soul Flame.

"Wang Fei!" Huo Nianfang's face turned ashen; she hadn't expected the Soul Flame that Zhou Yan controlled to be this frightening.

If Zhou Yao's Soul Flame could be compared to a candle flame, then Zhou Yan's was a torch — not in the same league at all.

"Wang Fei, consumed by my Soul Flame, no matter how many measures you have, you cannot escape this calamity!" Zhou Yan's face revealed a look of delight as he laughed wildly.

Having been humiliated by Chu Nan earlier was too demeaning; now overturning the situation, his heart naturally felt exceptionally pleased.

"Entangled by my Soul Flame, even if you are at the ninth rank of the Divine Illumination Realm, you cannot break free. Just watch as your own soul is burned to ashes."

Chu Lingshan also furrowed his brows; Chu Nan is the hope of the Spirit Corpse Sect's future and must not encounter any accident here.

Zhi Qingge also said anxiously, "Sect Leader Chu, quickly save him."

Chu Lingshan secretly nodded and was about to intervene when suddenly his expression relaxed and he smiled, "No matter, this flame cannot harm him."

Hearing Chu Lingshan's words, Zhi Qingge was puzzled about its meaning but still felt reassured.

After all, Chu Lingshan is a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist, and his insights are naturally astute. If he says there's no problem, then it must be true.

As Chu Lingshan's words just finished, Zhou Yan suddenly exclaimed, "This... this, this, how is it possible!"

Everyone followed the sound, revealing incredulous expressions.

They saw the Soul Flame that had devoured Chu Nan, as if pulled by something, frantically converging towards the center of Chu Nan's eyebrows, then disappearing.

The originally turbulent Soul Flame, which seemed like it would never extinguish, astonishingly diminished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Could it be that you have a treasure that defends against souls?" Zhou Yan shouted, releasing more Soul Flame once again, but after these flames erupted, they sank without a trace, not even causing a ripple.

In the blink of an eye, the Soul Flame vanished completely, revealing Chu Nan unscathed.

His eyes burst with gray light, excitement hidden deep in his eyes as he said, "So you too have a Soul Flame. Today, it's all mine!"

As his words fell, Chu Nan activated the Soul Devourer ability of the Celestial Soul Crossing.

His body seemed like an abyss capable of devouring all souls, madly pulling the soul forces around.

Boom!

The gray flames ignited once again on Zhou Yan's body, and he let out a miserable scream from his mouth.

These Soul Flames were not released voluntarily by Zhou Yan but forcibly drawn out from his soul by Chu Nan through the Soul Devourer to extract the Soul Flame's essence.

Under the influence of the Soul Devourer, these flames transformed into the purest power and merged into Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness.

Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness churned wildly, swelling and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The screams of Zhou Yan echoed around, making everyone who saw this scene uncontrollably tremble.

What kind of ability is this, capable of devouring a martial artist's soul?

"You punk, stop!" Zhou Bai, seeing Zhou Yan completely controlled by Chu Nan, and about to lose his Soul Flame, could no longer sit still.

He erupted instantly, unleashing the power of a fifth-level Cloud Sea Realm in a matter of moments, raising a palm to smash it toward Chu Nan.

Just as this palm was about to turn Chu Nan into paste, Chu Lingshan intercepted it, saying, "In the battles of juniors, how can the elders interfere."

"Zhou Bai, your Zhou family is too petty."

The two clashed palms, Zhou Bai retreated more than ten steps, his face darkened as he said, "Chu Lingshan, do you intend to protect this brat and be enemies with my Zhou family again?"

"Again? Ever since my partner was killed by Zhou Rulie, haven't we been enemies?" Chu Lingshan said coldly, his words not hiding his murderous intent towards the Zhou family in the slightest.

As tensions between both sides escalated, a scream suddenly echoed.

"Ah!" Zhou Yan, pale and trembling all over, was thrown to the ground by Chu Nan.

The glow on Chu Nan's body gradually faded, revealing a satisfied smile on his face.

After absorbing Zhou Yan's Soul Flame, his Sea of Consciousness surged again, and the quality of his soul improved significantly.

This Soul Flame can be considered the best nourishment for the soul, Chu Nan calculated that if he absorbed the Soul Flames of five more at Zhou Yan's level, his soul might advance to the late stage of Extraordinary.

That would be a soul comparable to the level beyond the Cloud Sea Realm, of the Unified Realm!

Zhou Bai, seeing Zhou Yan's Soul Flame completely absorbed, felt a pang of heartache.

This was something Zhou Yan spent many years and a great cost to condense, now all benefiting Chu Nan.

Ignoring the standoff with Chu Lingshan, he shouted harshly, "Wang Fei, you've taken my family's Soul Flame; this matter will never end peacefully."

"When we leave the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, my Zhou family will hunt you endlessly."

With that, Zhou Bai made a gesture, intending to pull Zhou Yan over to protect him.

Although the Soul Flame was taken, Zhou Yan was not dead, and as long as he was not dead, there was hope for recovery.

"Hunt? If that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about." With a fierce glint in his eyes, Chu Nan looked at Zhou Yan beneath him.

Just as Zhou Bai's invisible hand was about to grab Zhou Yan, Chu Nan suddenly stepped out.

Crack!

As the foot came down, Zhou Yan, without the strength to resist, had his head burst like a watermelon, blood and brains splattering everywhere, a gruesome death.

This scene left others bewildered, not expecting Chu Nan to be so ruthless and utterly unrestrained in his actions.

The elders of the Spirit Corpse Sect also showed astonished expressions, and even several people from the Huo family could not help but feel secretly shocked.

Especially Huo Yang, who had often mocked Chu Nan before, now seeing someone on par with himself being stomped to death by Chu Nan like slaughtering a chicken, couldn't help but tremble inside.

If Chu Nan could kill Zhou Yan today, he could easily kill him tomorrow!

However, Huo Nianfang felt secretly relieved, so long as Chu Nan was safe, what did it matter whether Zhou Yan lived or died.

"Wang Fei, you're courting death!" Seeing Zhou Yan trampled to death before his eyes, Zhou Bai flew into a rage, conjuring a massive hand in the air to strike at Chu Nan.
