405: Chapter 405 The Ferocious Soul Emperor

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, Fourth Level!

In an instant, as Hun Tiandi circulated the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method again, he actually made a breakthrough to the fourth level right in the middle of the battle.

The fourth level—five times the strength, combined with the malevolence of the Blood God Body.

Hun Tiandi's body was filled with power; his muscles bulged and his veins popped, containing a terrifying force that made him resemble a humanoid magical beast.

Roar...

Hun Tiandi let out a roar toward the heavens. The sound, capable of shattering mountains and splitting the sky, caused the surrounding rocks to collapse and dust to soar into the air.

A cold light flickered in his blood-red eyes. He stomped his foot down hard, shattering the mountaintop and leaving a footprint that spread out like a spiderweb.

Boom...

His figure lunged toward the Mulan Emperor with terrifying speed, accompanied by a powerful sonic boom.

Hun Tiandi did not use a blade. With his fists clenched tight, his arms carried an aura of infinite ferocity as he smashed them toward the Mulan Emperor.

Wherever his toes passed, faint silver glimmers flickered, cutting through the air.

The Mulan Emperor's face turned grim. As Hun Tiandi lunged, his speed was actually at the level of a peak nine-star Dou Huang.

It wasn't just his speed that had skyrocketed—what about his physical body? And his Dou Qi?

A cold light flashed in the Mulan Emperor's eyes as he watched the overbearing fist. He shifted his footing, flipped his hand, and threw a punch, clashing violently against Hun Tiandi's fist.

The collision of their fists unleashed the most violent energy, as if the air before them had been blown apart by the strike.

Boom!

The collision of fist against fist sent out wave after wave of massive booms that rippled outward. The energy fluctuations were so intense that they actually revealed numerous black-line cracks in space.

It was a full-power collision between a nine-star Dou Huang and a half-step Dou Zong.

Airwaves surged and rocks shattered. Hun Tiandi's figure was sent flying backward, while the mountaintop beneath the Mulan Emperor's feet also crumbled as he retreated violently.

Bang... Bang...

The two of them were pushed back, each smashing cracks into the mountains. Then, with a flicker of their figures, they soared into the sky once more.

The Mulan Emperor found it hard to believe. How could an ant at the Dou Wang level achieve this? His strength had skyrocketed so much.

Furthermore, his physical body was incredibly tough. The two of them charged out, engaging in close-quarters combat with their bare hands.

Boom...

The two of them clashed relentlessly, striking again and again. Every casual blow carried infinite power; an ordinary Dou Wang expert would have been blasted to death long ago.

They traded punches, each strike faster than the last, neither giving an inch!

Half-Step Crushing Fist!

Hun Tiandi let out a long howl. His fists were tightly clenched, and his entire body was enveloped in a violent, overbearing power that was incredibly fierce.

His dragon robes were torn, and his muscles looked as if they were forged from fine iron, brimming with power. Meanwhile, the Mulan Emperor's body was covered in bruises and wounds.

Swoosh...

Their figures were a blur. Only a series of explosions could be heard as the two competed in strength and speed.

Dou Qi erupted violently with constant roars, and the surrounding rubble was ground to dust by the rampaging power.

Too strong! Too overbearing!

The Mulan Emperor struck the area of the abdominal cyclone repeatedly, but he never expected Hun Tiandi's body to be so powerful. Was this a body a Dou Wang should possess?

How could it possibly be stronger than mine?

All of this stemmed from the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method. Its greatest advantage was body refinement—tempering the physical form.

The Mulan Emperor refused to believe it. His eyes were full of rage as he continuously attacked the abdomen, but it had no effect at all.

Boom!

After being struck by a heavy punch from Hun Tiandi, the Mulan Emperor retreated rapidly. Having been hit several times, his body was in immense pain.

In the next moment, the Mulan Emperor drew his longsword.

With a swing of his sword, a sharp sword energy slashed toward Hun Tiandi.

A massive sword energy spanned the sky. Hun Tiandi's blood-red hair fluttered and his eyes were crimson. Gritting his teeth, he threw a punch directly at the sword energy.

Boom!

Hun Tiandi was smashed into the ground by the sword strike, blood flowing from his mouth, yet his battle intent remained celestial. Meanwhile, the Mulan Emperor's sword energy had actually been shattered by his punch.

He showed no fear at all. Despite the injury to his cyclone and his clothes being blown to shreds—leaving him in only his shorts—he gave a wicked smile.

Jie jie jie!

"As expected of a regional hegemon, your strength is not bad!" Hun Tiandi roared. He flipped his hand and drew the long blade, Emperor Slayer, charging upward to slash at the laws of heaven and earth.

Heavenly Law: Wind Tear!

The air of heaven and earth was instantly torn open, creating a rift that slashed toward the distant Mulan Emperor, hacking down violently along the opening.

Boom!

Unable to withstand the blow, the Mulan Emperor retreated dozens of steps. For the first time, the half-step Dou Zong was forced back, leaving a blade scar on his chest.

Hun Tiandi let out a long howl and soared into the sky, finally venting the momentum of that terrifying strike.

That slash just now was too powerful. How was it possible?

In the next moment, Hun Tiandi charged again, raising his long blade and slashing down hard at the Mulan Emperor.

Carrying a massive blood-colored blade energy—Heavenly Law: Decuple Strength!

The blade force accumulated and stacked, slashing toward the Mulan Emperor along with the Wind Tear. This strike was locked on by the blade qi, leaving no way to evade.

Crack!

He could only take it head-on. The power of Hun Tiandi's slash was too great; this full-power strike was even faster than before.

The blade energy, dozens of feet long, tore through the sky. After a loud bang, the Mulan Emperor was smashed into the ground.

Puff!

He spat out blood, having suffered heavy injuries. His internal organs were displaced, and the ground was cracked like a spiderweb.

Die!

Just as Hun Tiandi was about to end his life with a single stroke, the Mulan Emperor roared, "Your Empress, Princess Nian Youyou, is about to die!"

Hun Tiandi's sword-like brows twitched. His blood-red eyes stared at the Mulan Emperor. His robes were shredded and he was covered in blood.

With his hair disheveled, the Emperor stared at Hun Tiandi in horror.

"What did you say?" Hun Tiandi's voice was hoarse as he looked at him like a demon.

"I said Princess Nian Youyou is going to die! I've made arrangements; she is certain to die!" the Mulan Emperor sneered.

He hadn't expected Hun Tiandi to be so fierce. A Dou Huang expert? To think he had been forced into such a pathetic state. But so what if his strength was great?

The Mulan Emperor was a man of great strategy; how could he not have a backup plan? He had to disturb his opponent's mind and disrupt his rhythm.

"No one can kill her!" Hun Tiandi said immediately.

"My Grand Empress possesses a secret technique that can kill invisibly from a thousand miles away!" the Mulan Emperor sneered.

"I don't believe it. No one can stop my hegemony. If Princess Nian Youyou dies, then it is simply her fate!"

"If anything happens to Princess Nian Youyou, I will have you, Crown Prince Lanjing, cut into a thousand pieces, and your descendants' spirits will be obliterated, never to be reincarnated!"

Hun Tiandi smiled wickedly.

"Then go ahead and gamble on it. She's going to die anyway!" the Mulan Emperor said, feeling a sense of satisfaction as he looked at the grim Hun Tiandi.

Hun Tiandi held his long blade and walked toward the Mulan Emperor, preparing for a final killing blow.

"You... do you truly not care for Princess Nian Youyou's life?" The Mulan Emperor's expression changed.

"She is but a woman. If she dies, I will just bring her back to life. The Dazheng Dynasty has many capable people. How could I sacrifice the lives of my soldiers just for one woman!"

Hun Tiandi revealed his cold side. For every minute delayed, hundreds or thousands of soldiers would perish.

"Thunder Emperor Art!"

With a thought, he activated the Thunder Emperor Art, converting his energy into solar lightning Dou Qi. He slashed his blade frantically, the Heavenly Law blade techniques accompanied by lightning Dou Qi.

Like a river of lightning, it surged toward the Mulan Emperor.

Luoyan City!

The three major legions were frantically attacking Luoyan City. Starting from the three main gates, Crown Prince Lanjing held the highest status!

"Attack!" At the Crown Prince's command, the Mu Lan Empire's army began their assault. The battlefield became a river of blood, and souls surged like a tide.

At every moment, lives were being lost.

Meanwhile, Qing Yue held the ten thousand soul banner and began to collect the heroic spirits from the battlefield. The banner flickered as she began the continuous process of refinement.
