299: Chapter 299 The Ferocious Corpse King, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Flames

"Presumptuous!"

Xiao Xiao suddenly acted without the slightest hesitation. Her Dou Qi condensed into a giant energy hand, which she used to grab toward the Blood Jade Palace Lantern atop the altar.

A massive, angry roar echoed from the void like a surging tide.

The sound was like thunder, carrying a supreme, soul-shaking ferocious might. It was as if an ancient monarch had suddenly awakened from a deep slumber, stepping through the river of time.

His towering rage descended upon the mortal realm with immense pressure.

This roar carried an incomparably overbearing royal might and the pressure of death. The sound waves rolled like a tide, shattering Xiao Xiao's giant energy hand with matchless, overflowing force.

Pfft!

Xiao Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated rapidly. Her charming face was filled with fear, but her beautiful eyes were even more full of excitement.

"As expected of an ancient corpse king, truly terrifying!"

Just as she was about to act again, a world-destroying aura descended, as majestic as a prison.

The thunder sea expanded, roaring and raging; space collapsed, the Corpse Ancestor Hall hummed, and countless formation patterns spread. The surrounding piles of white bones were all reduced to fly ash.

"Not good, it's the Corpse King Jiang Li!"

Hun Tiandi's expression changed. Although this power was thin, a single wisp of descending aura almost crushed his physical body. This was a terrifying power, truly unheard of.

If this aura were even slightly stronger, it would be enough to wipe him out directly.

This was the power of the Peerless Ferocious God, Corpse King Jiang Li, a power originating from his true body.

Chi...

While Xiao Xiao was marveling, Hun Tiandi suddenly turned around. He pushed Thunder Flash to its limit, fleeing toward the outside of the Corpse Ancestor Hall. This was not something a mere Eight-Star Dou Ling like him could get involved in.

"Want to leave? It won't be that easy..."

A cold voice rang out behind him. A Vacuum Palm transformed into a claw, and a terrifying suction force erupted from the palm, pulling Hun Tiandi's body backward.

"Yun Tian? Hun Tiandi? This Saint has known your name for a long time. You founded a Dazheng Dynasty in the Black-Corner Region. Only after Yu Jie sent a message to the family did I learn of your information. Regardless of who you are, today you shall be a blood sacrifice for this Saint to take the Sovereigns Blood!"

Xiao Xiao's voice was as cold as ice, sounding like the Grim Reaper from hell as it reached Hun Tiandi's ears.

"Are you from the Xiao Family?" Hun Tiandi pondered slightly before asking the question in his heart.

"Correct. My name isn't Qing Lian; I am Xiao Xiao, the eldest daughter of the Flame Emperor!" Xiao Xiao said proudly, her eyes filled with admiration when she mentioned the Flame Emperor.

Buzz!

The giant energy hand materialized and pushed toward the rift in the sky, placing Hun Tiandi within the lightning rift in the void to obstruct the awakening of Corpse King Jiang Li.

Hun Tiandi remained calm and indifferent, looking at the triumphant Xiao Xiao. For some reason, a sliver of fear arose in Xiao Xiao's heart.

In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the rift of the thunder sea.

At this moment, the thunder sea in the void surged violently. One purple lightning bolt after another struck down, causing the Corpse Ancestor Hall to tremble as endless light distorted.

Above the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, a wisp of pitch-black aura twisted, and a massive figure began to loom.

"Human, who gave you the audacity to trespass into this King's hall? Do you wish to die?"

Within the thunder sea vortex, a massive face formed and hovered in mid-air. This face was filled with endless majesty.

Two pitch-black dragon horns were like two heavenly blades pointing toward the lightning rift.

Golden eyes, like primordial stars, radiated endless light that pierced through the void and crashed down toward Xiao Xiao.

Rumble!

On the platform, Xiao Xiao swallowed two Nine-Colored Medicinal Pills, and her body slowly rose into the air. Beneath her jade feet, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python manifested its true body—a magical beast frame thousands of feet long with crystalline scales flowing with seven-colored light.

It coiled upward, its ferocious beast pupils radiating a baleful aura that surged like a tide.

She completely unleashed a battle power at the Dou Sheng level. With a flip of her hand, a snake-shaped longsword appeared in her palm, glowing with light.

The sword edge swept out, and her surging Dou Qi transformed into sword qi, cutting down the two star-like gazes.

"Heh, even if you are Corpse King Jiang Li, your true body perished in ancient times. Now you are but a wisp of weak aura, yet you still dare to be so arrogant."

"The Sovereigns Blood—this Saint is taking it. I have spoken!"

Xiao Xiao's voice was icy, her expression becoming increasingly cold, and her voice was like thunder.

"Presumptuous! You dare touch this King's Sovereigns Blood? What kind of thing are you? Even a supreme Dou Di would not dare speak to this King in such a manner."

"You have the aura of the Dou Di Bloodline on you. It seems you come from a Dou Di family. It just so happens that this King needs nourishment from a God-grade bloodline upon emerging. You shall stay behind then!"

The thunder sea surged, and endless purple lightning roared. Corpse King Jiang Li's massive face showed majestic anger, his roar carrying a royal might that dominated the heavens.

It was like a heavenly river bursting its banks, pressing down toward Xiao Xiao.

"Hahaha, the Corpse King Ferocious God?"

She spoke no more, her hands forming seals as fast as lightning. A mysterious rune flashed on Xiao Xiao's forehead; her first move was the Xiao Clan Clan Tattoo.

Her aura surged, and her strength increased greatly. That majestic aura was incredibly vast.

If Hun Tiandi were here, he would surely recognize her as a powerhouse at the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level.

This woman had hidden her true strength after all.

"Corpse King Hand Seal!"

Suddenly, Jiang Li struck out in rage. The rift in the sky tore open further, and a giant golden hand fell from it. A grand corpse-path aura was released, and the Corpse Ancestor Hall was enveloped, giving rise to a realm of purgatory with mountains of corpses and seas of blood as the massive hand seal pressed down.

"Destruction Fire Lotus, let no ghosts remain!"

Xiao Xiao exerted her full power. Five-colored flames swirled around her. As she clapped her hands together, the Five-Colored Heavenly Flames merged. In an instant, an exquisite Five-Colored Fire Lotus was spinning.

With a flick of her finger, the Five-Colored Fire Lotus shot toward the golden palm print, trailing a long tail of flame as it streaked through the air.

Within the thunder sea, purple lightning surged around Hun Tiandi, attacking him. Inside his body, the Thunder Emperor Art operated, refining the wisps of pure lightning into pure energy.

The purple flame thunder bead appeared in his palm and then transformed into a purple vortex, continuously devouring the electric light of the thunder sea.

"Eh..."

With the support of the Thunder Emperor Art and the purple flame thunder bead, Hun Tiandi was temporarily out of danger. He walked slowly, and suddenly made a discovery.

The Three Thousand Lightning Movement movement technique had changed once again.

It had three levels: the first level was Thunder Flash, the second was Lightning Flash, and the third was Three Thousand Lightnings.

Now, the first level, Thunder Flash, had long been perfected. He hadn't expected that by subconsciously using Thunder Flash within the thunder sea under the influence of infinite purple electricity...

He actually broke through to the second level, the Lightning Flash realm. His speed increased several times over; where his mind went, his body followed.

He was pleasantly surprised.

While Hun Tiandi was traversing the thunder sea, the battle between Jiang Li and Xiao Xiao outside was also proceeding with extraordinary intensity.

"Ant!"

Jiang Li was enraged. The giant face in mid-air manifested at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within the purple vortex, a royal figure wearing a golden dragon robe and a Pingtian Crown, with dragon horns on his forehead and golden pupils, emerged from the rift.

Rumble!

The violent thunder sea and terrifying storm caused space to shatter, only to be immediately suppressed and distorted by the royal might.

"Whew, will it not work without using that move?"

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and formed seals with her hands in front of her chest. A brilliant jade slip appeared, and as infinite Dou Qi poured in, its gorgeous light surged.

"Myriad Fire Flame Emperor, come forth!"

She whispered, and the jade slip shattered. A ten-thousand-foot-tall brilliant flame emperor's body expanded out of thin air, becoming as massive as Corpse King Jiang Li in the blink of an eye.

"Old Dad, it's up to you!"

"You girl, causing trouble again!"

A helpless sigh came from within the flame emperor's body. He wore a flame imperial robe, his hair was as brilliant as fire, and there was a flame mark on his forehead.

He was like the lord of all flames in the world, coldly watching the golden royal figure in the distance.

Xiao Xiao stood atop the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, her aura dripping with power. She believed her father's strength could defeat Jiang Li.

If that were the case, the Sovereigns Blood would belong to her.
