534: Chapter 534 Breakthrough to Dou Zong, Mid-stage Spirit Realm

"Commanding the lightning tribulation? Commanding the stars? This..."

The Emperor of Great Yan was completely dazed; he finally realized just how terrifying this little girl at the Dou Huang level was.

Rumble!

Amidst a series of massive roars, stars fell, smashing down violently. A dragon wailed in sorrow as nine terrifying explosions rang out.

A radius of a thousand feet was reduced to ruins as the nine stars descended.

The entire Tianmu Mountain Range trembled like an enraged peerless magical beast. Magma from the depths shot out, splashing in a scorching and terrifying manner.

It was like the end of the world; a thick smell of sulfur filled the air as black smoke surged up into the sky.

The Emperor of Great Yan, who was at the center of the falling stars, lay in a deep pit. His protective True Dragon had long since vanished, and his aura was extremely weak.

His eyes were filled with despair and fear. Who could have imagined that a little girl could leave a Dou Zun expert in such a pathetic state?

He took out a healing medicinal pill from his storage ring and swallowed it, recovering fifty percent of his injuries.

Swish!

With a flash of light, he appeared in mid-air. The clothes on the Emperor of Great Yan were tattered, revealing his well-defined physique. Some of his hair had been singed, and his cold face was covered in black ash.

He looked incredibly wretched.

Puchi!

Tianxin spat out a mouthful of blood, her pretty face as pale as golden paper. Cursing an expert like a Dou Zun was still somewhat forced with her current strength.

"Tianxin?" Liu Ling, who was fighting Emperor Yuehua, cried out in alarm. He pushed back and lunged toward Tianxin.

He quickly took out a medicinal pill to stabilize her injuries.

"These bastards, do they intend to destroy the foundation of my Gold-Eating Mouse Clan..."

Jin Shi looked at the area that was nearly in ruins, anger rising in his heart as his knuckles cracked from clenching his fists.

"That kid, why hasn't he come out yet?"

"We'll wait one more day. If there's still no news, I will personally enter the blood pool to see exactly what happened."

Jin Shi said through gritted teeth.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Just as Jin Shi and Jin Gu were discussing, a roar suddenly erupted from the world around the volcanic crater, causing the energy in the area to fluctuate.

This immediately drew the attention of the surrounding experts, as well as Liu Ling, Tianxin, and the others.

Buzz!

After the roar, the world's energy seemed to respond, surging toward the volcanic crater. Jin Shi and Jin Gu turned their gazes.

The place where the energy converged was precisely the Tianshan Blood Pool.

A massive vortex formed at the crater, swallowing the world's energy as if a hungry magical beast was absorbing it incessantly.

"That kid really is making a move. To think he could trigger such a phenomenon with the strength of a Dou Huang."

Jin Gu remarked with emotion.

"No wonder he had to stay inside for so long!" Jin Shi said.

Rumble!

Waves of dense energy surged from the world, continuously pouring into the vortex. Nearly the entire Tianmu Mountain Range was being plundered.

This change also caught the attention of the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan. Looking at the violent energy that was almost tangible, some of the lower-strength Gold-Eating Mice felt a hint of fear.

A hint of fear grew in their hearts.

As time passed, the speed of the energy consumption did not weaken but instead grew even stronger.

"It should be Hun Tiandi coming out of seclusion?" The five Dou Zun experts looked at each other, their gazes shifting to the volcanic crater.

With the influx of energy, a massive aura within the blood pool began to spread, like a waking magical beast.

"This aura... doesn't feel like someone who has just entered the Dou Zong realm?" Jin Gu said doubtfully.

Hun Tiandi had reached the ultimate limit at the Dou Huang level, and his foundation was as solid as a mountain. How could an ordinary Dou Zong compare?

The aura spread out, enveloping the entire Tianmu Mountain. Many experts within a thousand miles of the Tianmu Mountain Range sensed it.

Combined with the previous battle, all eyes were cast toward the Tianmu Mountain Range.

"Could it be... someone is breaking through to Dou Zong?"

"These guys have such good luck; the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan's strength has increased quite a bit."

"Such a treasure land, we should let the sect disciples compete for it in the future..."

Atop the mountain, the energy whistled and the vortex became even more violent. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

After an unknown amount of time, the absorbed energy seemed to reach a critical point.

"Is he coming out?" Liu Ling said joyfully. Once His Majesty came out of seclusion, none of these people would be able to leave.

Bang!

Countless sprays of water exploded, shooting out in all directions like a torrential downpour. Space distorted, and it seemed as if Tianmu Mountain itself was shaking.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread out in all directions.

A massive curtain of water fell, slapping against the bluestones.

When everything returned to calm, a figure dressed in a green robe slowly emerged, treading on the void with a posture as sharp as a sword.

A powerful aura surged from within his body, charging into the depths of the sky.

"Dou Zong!"

Sensing this aura, sounds of awe and envy rang out. Dou Zong was the watershed for experts on the continent. Only after a successful breakthrough...

...would one possess the basic qualifications to roam the Central Plains. Hun Tiandi was so young, yet he had already reached it.

"His Majesty has successfully broken through to the Dou Zong level..."

Liu Ling said happily. He stepped through the void without Dou Qi Wings behind him; this was the hallmark of a Dou Zong expert.

Buzz!

At this moment, Hun Tiandi suddenly opened his eyes. Two blood-colored sword lights shot out from his pupils as a surging aura circulated around him.

As for what had happened previously, Hun Tiandi, being at the bottom of the pool, did not have a clear perception of it.

At the moment he successfully advanced to Dou Zong, the soul power within his body seemed to become even more acute and agile.

In his perception, after undergoing the baptism of the Tianshan Blood Pool, his soul realm had unexpectedly broken through. One must know that on the Fighting Qi Continent...

...Dou Qi is easy to cultivate, but the soul is difficult!

"Middle Phase of the Spirit Realm!"

This caused Hun Tiandi's soul power to increase by more than three times, and his perception had surpassed the past, reaching ten times its previous level.

He released his invisible soul power, and in an instant, it enveloped the Tianmu Mountain Range.

Everything was clearly reflected in his mind—especially Tianxin being heavily injured and Liu Ling's Dou Qi being turbulent. Clearly, they had fought before.

"Where did Princess Nian Youyou go? Why isn't she by their side?"

His soul power scanned the entire mountain range, but he did not sense Princess Nian Youyou's aura. He quickly withdrew his soul power.

Stepping through the void, he headed toward Liu Ling and Tianxin.

"It's Hun Tiandi, he's finally out!"

Kill!

Suddenly, the explosive shouts of five great experts came from afar. Their auras were terrifying; in Hun Tiandi's perception, they were actually all experts at the Dou Zun level.

Hun Tiandi frowned; he didn't remember provoking this group of people.

Five different colored Dou Qi—saber glows, sword qi, fist prints, spear thrusts, and palm prints—poured toward Hun Tiandi.

Humph, Three Hundred-Fold Strength!

Hun Tiandi's face turned cold. He flipped his hand to take out a long saber and slashed out violently. A hundred-foot saber astral swept across, and a faint silver glow emanated from his feet.

He pushed the Three Thousand Lightning Movement technique to its limit and charged toward one of them, the Emperor of Great Yan.

Hun Tiandi saw that this person's aura was withered, as if he had suffered a heavy blow earlier. Naturally, he would pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.

"Dammit!" A flash of fear appeared in the Emperor of Great Yan's eyes.

This person was incredibly fierce. After his father's fall, he had investigated and found that in the Thunder Clan, this man had used his Dou Huang cultivation to kill his father.

He had forcefully killed the Lord of the Great Yan Empire and even snatched Lei Xuanji from the hands of Emperor Gu Xuan of the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty in front of everyone.

Otherwise, with his seniority, he would not have been qualified to inherit the throne.

Puchi!

Because the Emperor of Great Yan's strength had only recovered by about fifty percent, he was unable to dodge this saber strike.

Flame Dragon Fist!

With a low shout, he gathered his Dou Qi to perform the Dou Technique, Flame Dragon Fist. The collision of the fist print and the saber astral caused space to distort extremely.

Chii!

With a movement, he appeared behind the Emperor of Great Yan and flipped his saber, piercing through his heart.

Puchi!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out as his life force rapidly dissipated. With a thought, the Soul Sword, Soul Severing, was unleashed using the Soul Weapon Art, extinguishing his soul.

If Hun Tiandi did not strike, it was one thing, but if he did, he would use his full power and never hold back.
