371: Chapter 371 Demonic Power Appears for the First Time, Sacred Flower Saves Lives

A cold voice rang out from the sky. Yan Xing, Liu Ling, and Tu Xingzi looked over with joy on their faces.

Their gazes were filled with disbelief.

"Your Majesty?" Staring intently at the familiar figure, the faces of Yan Xing and the other two were filled with astonishment.

The moment Hun Tiandi appeared, Joyous Douhuang's gaze fell upon him, and the expression on his face froze.

Shock and fear alternated as a sharp, fearful cry escaped his mouth.

"It's you? How could you have advanced to the Dou Wang level in such a short time?" Joyous Douhuang said in disbelief.

The four Dou Huang experts beside him frowned slightly, confused by Joyous Douhuang's scream.

"I spared you before, yet you show no remorse. How can someone like you be changed?"

"There is no other way; you can only die!"

Hun Tiandi said coldly, his eyes burning as he stared at Joyous Douhuang!

"Yun Xiao, move! Leave none alive!"

Yun Xiao's figure moved, sweeping toward the four Dou Huang experts at extreme speed. He raised a hand and struck downward; the incredibly powerful palm print was like a demonic hand covering the sky, enveloping the four of them.

"As for you, Joyous Douhuang, this King will deal with you personally!" Hun Tiandi, filled with killing intent, took out a long blade and gave it a flourish.

A sharp blade edge sliced through the air, emitting a humming sound as he watched Joyous Douhuang with cold eyes.

He was filled with boundless killing intent; earlier, this man had attacked Mei Niang with lethal force.

Had he not arrived in time, he might have only seen Mei Niang's corpse. His killing intent toward Joyous Douhuang had reached its peak.

Joyous Douhuang's expression flickered, and as he looked at Hun Tiandi, a trace of fear actually grew in his heart.

Buzz!

The blood-colored Dou Qi within Hun Tiandi's body surged out, his powerful aura roiling as it locked onto Joyous Douhuang.

He lunged toward Joyous Douhuang. Their spear and blade collided in mid-air with a loud clang, the humming sound echoing continuously.

As the blade light erupted, the air hummed.

Rumble!

While the two were fighting, Yun Xiao wiped out the four Dou Huang experts with a single palm strike. The shocking power left the remaining two Dou Zong and two Dou Huang experts terrified.

As they tried to flee, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Yun Xiao's eyes. He clenched his hand toward the four, causing the space to twist and compress.

Four explosions rang out in the sky. Blood mist filled the air, and their souls were annihilated, leaving no trace behind.

"What dominant methods!" Liu Ling and Yan Xing glanced at each other. Just what level had this person's cultivation reached?

Even Dou Zong were no match for him?

They descended from the heights. After the previous slaughter, Yan Xing, Liu Ling, and Tu Xingzi were significantly injured. Liu Ling took out medicinal pills and gave them to the other two for healing.

They watched the battle between Hun Tiandi and Joyous Douhuang in mid-air, which had already reached a fever pitch.

"When did His Majesty break through to the Dou Wang level? Judging by his aura, he should be around a five-star Dou Wang!"

Liu Ling said in shock.

Yan Xing and Tu Xingzi shook their heads, indicating they didn't know, their gazes falling on Yun Xiao.

Boom!

Joyous Douhuang forced Hun Tiandi back with a single move.

"Today, you are fortunate enough to witness my true strength!" Hun Tiandi put away his long blade and formed seals with both hands. A flash of blood-red light appeared on him; his hair turned blood-red, and his temperament became demonic.

The violent aura emanating from him caused Joyous Douhuang's expression to change.

Swoosh!

A blood-red shadow flashed as he lunged toward Joyous Douhuang. His speed was nearly like teleportation. He circled him three times, leaving three deep, bone-deep wounds on his body.

With a flash of light, he reappeared in mid-air.

"You..." Joyous Douhuang looked on in disbelief. After the transformation, both his speed and power had surged significantly.

"Blood God Demonic Art: Bloodthirsty Spirit Devour!"

The demonic Hun Tiandi murmured. He formed seals with his hands, and a flash of blood light lunged toward Joyous Douhuang, entering his body in the blink of an eye.

Ah...

Joyous Douhuang screamed. Large lumps bulged on his body, and human silhouettes flickered within him. The next moment, under the horrified gazes of Yun Xiao and the other three...

Joyous Douhuang's full flesh slowly withered, as if his entire blood energy was being devoured by something.

"This is..." Fear filled the eyes of Yan Xing, Liu Ling, and Tu Xingzi.

In an instant, a flash of blood light burst out from Joyous Douhuang's body, revealing Hun Tiandi's figure in mid-air. As for Joyous Douhuang, his body was blown by the wind, turning into fragments and dissipating.

His entire blood energy and soul had been completely devoured by Hun Tiandi.

With a flash of blood light, Hun Tiandi returned to normal. His Dou Qi wings flapped as he flew toward the unconscious Mei Niang.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us. Your subordinates were incompetent and allowed the Empress to be injured!"

The three of them, including Yan Xing, knelt on the ground to ask for punishment.

"Rise! Focus on your healing!" Hun Tiandi did not blame them. Being besieged by so many experts was not something an ordinary person could resist.

"Liu Ling, check Mei Niang's injuries."

Liu Ling stood up and placed his finger on her wrist. A wisp of Dou Qi entered her body to investigate her injuries, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's bones are broken and her meridians are shattered. I cannot treat this injury!"

Liu Ling said solemnly.

Behind him, the expressions of Yan Xing and Tu Xingzi changed. Could it be...?

Hun Tiandi exuded a chilling aura. He also knew that such injuries could not be healed without top-tier natural treasures.

"Natural treasures? I have one!"

With a casual wave, the ten thousand soul banner sealed off the void, leaving only Hun Tiandi and Mei Niang. With a thought, his soul power surged out, enveloping the unconscious Mei Niang.

He brought her into the Netherworld, and Hun Tiandi appeared there as well.

"The natural treasure, the innate sacred flower!" Hun Tiandi carried Mei Niang to the side of the Yin Yang Pool and spoke softly.

To save Mei Niang's life, he had to make her undergo a complete transformation. It remained to be seen if this innate sacred flower was as miraculous as the legends said.

Buzz!

Hun Tiandi pointed his fingers like a sword and made a stroke in the Yin Yang Pool. A pure white, flawless sacred flower landed in his palm, and he placed Mei Niang upon it.

The sacred flower released wisps of white energy that burrowed into her flesh.

Enveloped in white light, Hun Tiandi held his hands out as if embracing the air, slowly lifting the sacred flower-wrapped Mei Niang and placing her into the Yin Yang Pool.

He intended to use the power of creation derived from Yin and Yang to let Mei Niang enter the deepest level of transformation.

He gently placed her into the pool. Nourished by the power of creation, the white energy released by the innate sacred flower became even more vigorous. He just didn't know when it would be completed.

Phew!

He let out a soft breath and left the Netherworld. Within the sacred flower, Mei Niang's eyelids twitched slightly, but she did not open them.

He reappeared in the sealed space of the ten thousand soul banner.

With a wave of his sleeve, he put away the ten thousand soul banner and saw Yan Xing and the others healing with their eyes closed.

Yun Xiao opened his palm, and twelve storage rings appeared. They were the collections from the culprits who had besieged Mei Niang and the others.

Hun Tiandi smiled slightly. With a movement of his soul power, he collected the storage rings.

He turned his head to look at Qing Yue, who had turned into a green cocoon. World energy was continuously pouring into it, and he didn't know when the transformation would be complete.

"Little girl, look at how much of a commotion you've caused."

Hun Tiandi said softly. Then, the green cocoon shook a few times, as if venting its dissatisfaction.

He arranged for Yun Xiao to guard the surroundings and sat cross-legged on a green stone, waiting for Qing Yue to complete her final transformation.

The healing of Yan Xing, Liu Ling, and Tu Xingzi had also reached a critical moment. He could only wait for everyone to wake up before making further plans.

"It's also time to complete the conception of the Dou Technique. The basic idea is set."

His mind raced as the lingxiao jade butterfly emitted a tinkling sound. Sparks of inspiration collided as it deduced the Dou Technique.

Having advanced to the Dou Wang level, he could finally truly get to work!
