# Chapter 1399: The Disaster of the Fire Clan
"You, the Fire Clan, actually dared to imprison this king. Today, this king will turn this Fire Realm into a ruin of death."
A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering yin-cold voice emerged from underground, causing the earth to shake violently.
At the same time, within the Fire Realm, a crimson rocky mountain exploded apart. Ghostly qi as black as ink gushed out from underground along with magma.
Elder Zhixin and Elder Zhixu, who had been sitting beneath the mountain guarding the Divine Chu Ghost King, exchanged glances, both revealing expressions of fear and shock.
Both elders were of the "Zhi" generation, over a thousand years old, having reached the Saint King realm. They were among the top ten figures of the Fire Clan.
"Disaster has struck. The Divine Chu Ghost King has actually escaped."
Elder Zhixin and Elder Zhixu simultaneously mobilized the rules of fire. Within the Fire Realm, flames spanning ten thousand miles continuously gathered toward them, condensing into a Flame Saint Tower that actually managed to trap the Divine Chu Ghost King inside.
"Boom."
A ghostly sound rang out from within the Flame Saint Tower.
The sound waves spread outward like ripples on water, shattering crimson mountains one after another. The Fire Clan cultivators on this land could not withstand it at all. Their bodies all exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist.
Even those Fire Clan cultivators who did not die had blood flowing from their seven orifices. They covered their ears, rolling on the ground, uttering miserable screams.
Elder Zhixin and Elder Zhixu could not maintain their footing. Horrified expressions appeared on their faces as they continuously retreated backward.
"Bang."
The Flame Saint Tower shattered, turning into a rain of fire that rushed outward. Then, fireballs rapidly crashed into the earth, leaving behind densely packed craters.
The laughter of the Divine Chu Ghost King came from above the ghost clouds.
Immediately after, a ghost claw hundreds of zhang long descended upon Elder Zhixin's head. A cracking sound rang out as all the bones in Elder Zhixin's body were shattered, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
Elder Zhixin's saint soul was then extracted by the Divine Chu Ghost King and swallowed into its belly in one gulp.
Elder Zhixu also failed to escape. His saint soul was also devoured by the Divine Chu Ghost King.
In an instant, two Saint King ancestors were obliterated. The Divine Chu Ghost King was truly terrifying to the extreme, causing all the Fire Clan cultivators to tremble in fear.
"Die. All of you must die."
The Divine Chu Ghost King rode a cloud of ghostly qi a thousand miles in diameter, flying toward the settlement of the Fire Clan cultivators. Opening its mouth to inhale, tens of thousands of living souls flew up and entered its mouth.
On the ground, tens of thousands of Fire Clan members fell, losing their lives.
Dead Zen Ancestor rode that four-unlike beast, standing within a domain constructed by spiritual power, revealing a compassionate expression. He bowed toward those corpses and recited a Buddhist phrase: "Amitabha!"
Beside him, a black speck of light was born out of nothing, transforming into a black hole three zhang in diameter.
Han Qiu walked out from within, casting a cold glance at Dead Zen Ancestor, and said sarcastically: "A heretical monk like you, who cultivates Dead Zen Buddhist Dharma, actually dares to recite Amitabha?"
Dead Zen Ancestor was not angry at all. He smiled and said: "As long as Amitabha is in the heart, what difference does it make what Buddhist Dharma one cultivates?"
Just then, Han Qiu was astonished to discover that in the direction where Dead Zen Ancestor had just bowed, those corpses that had lost their souls actually rose from the ground.
On their foreheads, there was a golden, shining Buddha seal.
Tens of thousands of Fire Clan corpses actually converged into a torrent, rushing out, killing any Fire Clan member they saw. And those Fire Clan members who were killed also immediately rose from the ground, becoming part of the torrent of corpses.
"Old fellow, your Buddhist Dharma is somewhat interesting. No wonder you dare to confront Empress Chi Yao." Han Qiu said.
Dead Zen Ancestor smiled with a benevolent expression: "This humble monk would not dare to confront Empress Chi Yao. The reason I spread the Dharma in the Kunlun Realm was merely to find a way to perfect the Dead Zen Buddhist Dharma. After five hundred years of cultivation, improvement, and verification, it has only now truly achieved great completion. If you wish to learn, this humble monk can teach you."
Han Qiu sneered disdainfully: "No matter how strong your Dead Zen Buddhist Dharma is, how can it compare to the Way of Darkness? Today, why not just annihilate the Fire Clan and be done with it?"
Han Qiu extended a slender finger and pointed toward the void.
Instantly, an extreme evil qi, an extreme demonic qi, and an extreme death qi simultaneously surged out from her body. Her beautiful eyes became sinister and eerie, very much like two deep hells.
"Gate of the Underworld, open for me."
At the tip of Han Qiu's finger, the gate of the Underworld slowly opened.
An army of the undead marched out from the Underworld.
Over a dozen enormous dragon corpses flew in the air; a large group of corpse generals riding undead beasts charged forward, wielding bone spears; and densely packed ghost souls floated out, emitting hair-raising howls.
Ghostly qi and dead corpses shrouded the entire Fire Domain. This place seemed to have turned into hell.
Qiu Yu walked out from inside the broken remains of the parasol tree, looking at the Fire Clan members continuously falling to the ground. Anger surged in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Who exactly is it? Daring to release the Divine Chu Ghost King, are they seeking death?"
Within the Fire Realm, a supreme power erupted, piercing through the ghost clouds.
It was a bright pillar of light connecting the sky and the earth.
The Fire Clan's supreme sacred artifact, the Refining Saint Furnace, slowly rose, continuously awakening, emitting light as dazzling as a blazing sun.
The ghostly qi and ghost souls dissipated in an instant.
"Boom."
A supreme power surged out from the Refining Saint Furnace, striking the ground. Instantly, tens of thousands of corpse puppets and undead soldiers shattered, turning into ashes.
An activated supreme sacred artifact was enough to sweep through everything, truly invincible.
After a moment, the undead within the Fire Realm were completely cleansed by the Refining Saint Furnace.
"All ghosts and monsters are utterly vulnerable." Qiu Yu snorted coldly.
However, the Divine Chu Ghost King was quite formidable. It was not afraid of the Refining Saint Furnace and flew toward the central area of the Fire Realm, intending to kill the controller of the Refining Saint Furnace.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After colliding with the Refining Saint Furnace twice, even the powerful Divine Chu Ghost King had its ghostly qi completely dispersed, revealing its ghost body.
Without the protection of ghostly qi, it was clear that the Divine Chu Ghost King would be at a great disadvantage if it collided with the Refining Saint Furnace again.
Of course, the Divine Chu Ghost King also charged into the center of the Fire Realm and saw the three Saint Ancestors of the Fire Clan. It was precisely the three Saint Ancestors who simultaneously struck, unleashing saint qi to activate the supreme power of the Refining Saint Furnace.
The Divine Chu Ghost King's two ghost claws shot out, striking at two of the Fire Clan Saint Ancestors.
"Seeking death."
"Suppress him."
The three Fire Clan Saint Ancestors roared simultaneously, controlling the Refining Saint Furnace to smash toward the Divine Chu Ghost King. A scorching supreme power erupted violently.
With a "bang," the Divine Chu Ghost King's ghost body was shattered, turning into a cloud of ghost mist.
At that moment, the earth for tens of thousands of miles shook violently.
Even standing several thousand miles away, Han Qiu was still suppressed by the residual power of the supreme force, kneeling on one knee, almost falling flat on the ground.
"Now is the time."
Not far away, Dead Zen Ancestor revealed a joyful expression. He jumped off the back of the four-unlike beast and formed a hand seal with both hands.
"Rustle."
A crack appeared on the ground.
The continental plates shifted to the left and right, and soon the crack became a bottomless canyon, with magma gushing out from underground.
At the same time, a shocking divine might spread throughout the entire Fire Realm.
From the bottom of the canyon, a divine corpse walked out. It wore a black suit of armor, its body incomparably huge, probably several thousand zhang tall.
The divine corpse opened its mouth and inhaled fiercely.
The Divine Chu Ghost King's ghost body had already condensed halfway and would soon recover. But after being inhaled by the divine corpse, all the ghostly qi and soul qi were completely absorbed into the divine corpse's belly.
After swallowing the Divine Chu Ghost King, the divine corpse attacked the three Fire Clan Saint Ancestors. A divine hand slapped down, striking the top of one Saint Ancestor's head.
"Boom."
That Saint Ancestor only blocked for the time of one breath before his hands and legs were broken, his head was smashed into his belly, and his saint body turned into a bloody meatball, falling into the ground.
The remaining two Saint Ancestors were greatly alarmed and hurriedly channeled saint qi into the Refining Saint Furnace.
But before the supreme power could erupt, the divine corpse swung a fist, sending the Refining Saint Furnace flying, falling to a place ten thousand miles away.
In the area where the Refining Saint Furnace fell, the earth melted, turning into an ocean of magma.
"Roar."
The divine corpse raised its head and roared to the sky. It simultaneously extended two divine hands and slapped down toward the remaining two Saint Ancestors.
Suddenly, a voice like a great bell or cauldron sounded from deep underground, saying: "Stop."
As the voice spread, the aura became even more terrifying.
The flames between heaven and earth rapidly gathered toward the two Saint Ancestors. In the blink of an eye, a layer of flame barrier condensed in front of them.
"Boom."
The divine corpse's two palms struck the flame barrier but failed to penetrate it, only forming two huge whirlpools.
Two streams of force passed through the flame barrier, sending the two Saint Ancestors flying, but failing to kill them.
Seeing this, Dead Zen Ancestor's eyes narrowed.
"What kind of existence is this, able to block the attack of the divine corpse?" Han Qiu asked.
"Don't ask. Let's go quickly."
Dead Zen Ancestor's expression turned somewhat solemn. He shook both hands simultaneously, sweeping the four-unlike beast and Han Qiu into his sleeve, then disappeared from the spot.
The battle in the Fire Domain quickly alarmed the major powers of the Kunlun Realm.
The Fire Clan, known as the number one ancient clan in terms of strength, with deep foundations and numerous experts, had suffered a great calamity. Casualties were heavy, and more than one Saint King ancestor had fallen.
Upon hearing the news, the masters of various major powers sent out message light talismans one after another, inquiring about Qiu Yu's safety. They were quite worried that the Heavenly Root had not yet grown before being destroyed.
"Has the Parasol Tree Divine Tree been cut down?"
"Is Young Master Qiu Yu still alive?"
...
Qiu Yu looked at the message light talismans laid out on the table, becoming even more furious. He slapped down with his palm, and with a bang, the table was shattered into pieces.
Soon after, Qiu Yu appeared in the domain city of the Southern Domain and made a public statement: "Dead Zen Ancestor has returned to the Kunlun Realm, causing massive slaughter in the Fire Realm. Since he has violated his oath, I hope the Imperial Court will take action to eliminate this heretical monk for the sake of humanity. If he appears again and kills me, cutting off the hope of the Kunlun Realm, I think this will be a disaster for the entire Kunlun Realm."
