535: Chapter 535 One-Star Dou Zong, Arrow Falls to Dou Zun

"The Emperor of Great Yan has fallen?"

Hun Tiandi's decisive slaughter caused the four peerless experts surrounding him to freeze, their expressions turning ugly.

The four exchanged glances. According to their intelligence, Hun Tiandi's cultivation was only at the Dou Huang level; dispatching five Dou Zun level experts should have been enough to crush him.

But who could have known that after entering the Tianshan Blood Pool to cultivate, Hun Tiandi's cultivation would advance so greatly that he actually broke through to the Dou Zong level.

"Dou Zong? It seems this is no ordinary breakthrough."

"His aura is vigorous and his foundation is stable; he likely has the strength of a peak One-Star Dou Zong."

Emperor Yuehua said in a deep voice.

Although the Emperor of Great Yan had only recovered fifty percent of his strength, he was still a Dou Zun level expert, yet he was slaughtered in a single encounter.

Such ruthless methods, such decisive action.

Hun Tiandi stood proudly in mid-air and took a deep breath. When he had first exited seclusion and saw Tian Xin and Liu Ling being besieged, he had struck immediately without sensing the changes within his body.

Now, sinking his mind into his body to sense it, he found the changes were immense—no less than a complete transformation.

His meridians were dozens of times wider than before and extremely resilient, glowing with a crystalline light, while his Sword Bone was sharp throughout his body.

Kendo runes flickered, permeating every inch of his skeleton, even giving rise to a faint crystalline layer of Dou Qi.

He lightly clenched his fist and threw a simple, crude punch; the space around his fist instantly distorted.

It let out a low, piercing sonic boom, sounding like muffled thunder.

Its power was enough to crush his former self.

Dou Zong and Dou Huang were indeed two different worlds. He now judged his strength to be stable at the peak One-Star Dou Zong level.

One-Star Dou Zong, Peak level!

He had saved a lot of time on consolidation; the Tianshan Blood Pool truly lived up to its reputation.

In Hun Tiandi's memory, many people who advanced to Dou Zong needed a long period of consolidation after their breakthrough.

He hadn't expected to skip that phase and directly reach the peak of One-Star Dou Zong.

This was likely because Hun Tiandi had broken through the limits of every single realm, giving him an incredibly solid foundation; otherwise, he too would have needed time to consolidate.

The One-Star level seemed like the weakest rank of the Dou Zong realm.

However, there was a massive gap between each star of the Dou Zong realm. For many cultivators, it would take several years of normal cultivation just to raise their strength by one star.

This was common knowledge.

Withdrawing his focus, Hun Tiandi moved his feet, stepping through the void as he slowly approached, eventually landing step by step in front of Tian Xin and Liu Ling.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on successfully advancing to Dou Zong!"

Seeing Hun Tiandi emerge from seclusion, Liu Ling was the first to speak, offering his congratulations with a smile.

"Mm. Who did this?" Hun Tiandi nodded slightly and asked coldly.

"It was them..." Tian Xin and Liu Ling then explained the entire cause and effect of the situation.

Especially upon learning that Princess Nian Youyou had personally lured away Tang Junyao and the others to escape the encirclement, his cold face instantly darkened, and his entire body radiated killing intent.

"Tang Junyao, you have repeatedly made yourself my enemy. You truly deserve to die!"

His bone-chilling voice caused the surrounding air to nearly freeze.

"Liu Ling, take care of Tian Xin!" Hun Tiandi slowly rose, turning his gaze toward the four experts.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Ling obeyed.

After Hun Tiandi killed the Emperor of Great Yan, high above the Great Yan Empire far away in the Northern Region, the Sea of Luck Clouds shook violently.

The True Dragon of Luck within it roared toward the heavens, letting out a mournful cry that instantly spread across the Great Yan territories.

"The True Dragon of Luck is mourning? His Majesty has fallen..."

"Impossible! His Majesty and four other experts were besieging Hun Tiandi, how could he possibly be killed?"

Mr. Bai, who had orchestrated the plan, showed a look of shock on his face.

Every citizen of the Great Yan Empire felt a sense of grief, as if the very sky of Great Yan was collapsing.

Yan City!

General Ye Wudi's army was stationed here. Within the central command tent was General Ye Wudi himself, with his subordinate generals gathered before his desk.

"Reporting to the Commander, scouts report that an hour ago, the Great Yan Empire's True Dragon of Luck let out a mournful cry. It seems something has happened!"

A young officer arrived to deliver the intelligence.

"The True Dragon of Luck mourns... Could it be that the Emperor of Great Yan has fallen? How is that possible?"

General Ye Wudi slowly raised his head, frowning slightly.

"Pass down my command: dispatch the troops immediately to annihilate the Great Yan Empire!"

"Yes, Commander!" The soldiers obeyed and all left the tent.

Yun Xiao's Second Legion also moved out. As a commander, he would never let such a golden opportunity slip by.

In an instant, the speed of the Great Yan Empire's fall was several times faster than before.

Tianmu Mountain Range!

Hun Tiandi rose into the air, scanning the area with cold eyes: "You all deserve to die!"

Immediately, he opened his sea of consciousness space. With a flash of light, a giant bow and arrow appeared in his hands. This killing weapon finally made its first appearance in the Central Plains.

Chaos Bow, Candle Dragon Arrow!

Back in the Black-Corner Region, the first time he refined this killing weapon, he had shot and killed two Half-Saints in a single battle, earning it a fearsome reputation.

"I originally planned to deal with you later, but since you sought death by plotting to harm my friends and subordinates, today you shall all go to the yellow springs together!"

Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

"That bow and arrow set is not simple. Everyone, be careful!" Emperor Yuehua said solemnly.

He felt a life-threatening menace from the killing weapon in Hun Tiandi's hands.

"Hmph, he is but one man. Kill him!"

A large man beside him brandished a great halberd, his vigorous Dou Qi surging as he poured it into the weapon and smashed it violently toward Hun Tiandi.

At the same time, the other three experts behind him also attacked.

Their momentum was world-shaking, representing their determination to kill Hun Tiandi. This was a game where either he died or they did.

Hun Tiandi took a deep breath as the blood-colored Dou Qi within his body surged into the Chaos Bow. It instantly expanded, spanning across the sky.

"Candle Dragon Arrow!"

With a metallic clang, he notched the arrow to the string, his body suddenly pulling back until the bow was drawn like a full moon. With a thought, his Killing Sword Intent and Destruction Sword Intent emerged together.

As they poured into the Candle Dragon Arrow, an aura of destruction rippled out. Space became extremely distorted, seemingly unable to withstand this single arrow.

"Jin Gu, can you block this arrow?" Jin Shi asked from the stone pavilion, his throat dry.

"If I try, I will certainly die!" Jin Gu replied without the slightest hesitation.

Whoosh!

The Candle Dragon Arrow shot out, its blood-red light streaking across the sky as it shot toward the man wielding the great halberd.

Boom...

The arrowhead collided with the halberd, sounding like a clap of muffled thunder. With a crack, the halberd snapped and instantly shattered, and the arrow pierced through his forehead in a flash.

His soul power was instantly annihilated. The large man's eyes were filled with resentment, confusion, and terror.

Whoosh!

His body fell from mid-air, hitting the ground with a heavy thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.

A Dou Zun slain by an arrow!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"That man was the emperor of an empire with the strength of a Five-Star Dou Zun, yet he was shot dead with a single arrow!" Emperor Yuehua could not believe it.

Puchi!

In the blink of an eye, the Candle Dragon Arrow returned. With the sound of tearing flesh, it pierced through Emperor Yuehua's heart from behind, leaving a wound the size of a bowl in his chest.

A second Dou Zun had fallen!

In the blink of an eye, three of the five Dou Zun experts had perished. This terrifying scene left everyone—from Jin Shi and Jin Gu to the remaining two Dou Zun experts—stunned.

They were all frozen in place!

On the other side, Liu Ling looked at Hun Tiandi with fanaticism. Following this Emperor was simply too incredible!

"Flee..." one of the Dou Zun urged anxiously.

In an instant, the two fled in different directions. The deterrent force of the Candle Dragon Arrow had left them with no will to fight.

At this moment, no schemes or traps mattered anymore!

"Did this Seat give you permission to leave?" Hun Tiandi's cold voice rang out as he notched the Candle Dragon Arrow once more and shot it toward the left.
