679: Chapter 679 Advancement to Dou Zun: Shocking News

Hun Tiandi was very pleased. After returning to the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, he dealt with the accumulated government affairs.

In fact, there wasn't much, as his Clone, the Blood God, handled things at all times.

The Yang World, Northern Region.

The army of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty was attacking the Northern Region with incredible speed; over half of the territory had already fallen into their hands.

However, the speed of the assault was hindered, and the two armies led by General Ye Wudi and Yun Xiao paused their offensive.

"Cangtian Holy Land, the overlord of the Northern Region!" Hun Tiandi sneered. They had finally come face to face after all. Fortunately, the plan Nian Haocang mentioned was also about to begin.

Subsequently, a military order was sent to the front lines, reaching the hands of General Ye Wudi and Yun Xiao respectively.

"Wait patiently!" It contained only those two words.

"Youyou, now we should attend to proper business!" Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

"What business?" Princess Nian Youyou looked confused, turning her head to stare at Hun Tiandi.

Then, Hun Tiandi sat beside Princess Nian Youyou, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Consummating our marriage!"

Feeling the warmth by her ear and hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Princess Nian Youyou's lovely face flushed crimson, even her ears turning red.

She wanted to pull away, but Hun Tiandi pulled her into his embrace. Feeling that powerful heartbeat, her delicate body went soft.

Hun Tiandi picked up Princess Nian Youyou, his figure flickering as he entered the grand hall. With a wave of his sleeve, he activated the defensive Formation.

This was to prevent any intimate scenes from leaking out.

Three days later, Princess Nian Youyou, now a new bride, had a glow of happiness on her exquisite face as she waited outside the hall.

This was because Hun Tiandi had entered seclusion!

Inside the cultivation room, Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged. The purple flame thunder bead hovered above his head, pouring down countless streams of pure energy that enveloped his body.

Forming hand seals, a cluster of ghostly blue flames emerged from his body, surging and rising. It drew in the energy of heaven and earth, subjecting it to the refinement of the ghostly blue fire.

The surging pillar of energy condensed into a pure and substantial force, which was then refined into Dou Qi by the Thunder Emperor Art.

This time, Hun Tiandi intended to raise his cultivation level to prepare for the upcoming great war.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Vaguely, an extremely terrifying aura began to slowly awaken, as streams of pure heaven and earth energy poured down.

Faint starlight power rose around his body, invoking the power of the Star Demon-Sealing Monument.

He absorbed and refined it with all his might.

With a boom, a pillar of lightning surged from the cultivation room, erupting like a volcano and condensing into a thousand-zhang-tall lightning Dragon in the sky.

The lightning Dragon coiled like a mountain, its massive draconic body pressing against the firmament, permeating with a destructive and violent aura of lightning.

Roar...

The lightning Dragon roared at the heavens, the dragon's cry shaking the entire Lingxiao Heavenly Court. It billowed out, radiating a terrifying heavenly prestige.

Buzz!

The space between heaven and earth distorted slightly. A hundred-zhang-wide pillar of energy struck the sky, landing upon the body of the lightning Dragon.

This vast power was entirely absorbed by the lightning Dragon, causing it to expand once more and burst with a brilliant light. Subsequently, a vast aura spread out like a sea of thunder.

Lightning illuminated the world. Atop the massive dragon's head, a handsome yet majestic figure slowly emerged.

That terrifying aura permeated the air, echoing throughout the world.

"This aura... is it a Dou Zun?"

Feeling this aura, Elder Dan smiled faintly. He had finally reached this step.

Countless citizens and guards of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court knelt, shouting "Long live the Emperor," as they gazed excitedly at the peerless figure in the sky.

"This aura is truly terrifying. Reaching the Dou Zun level is considered truly stepping into the Peak level of the continent!"

"Indeed. The energy required to Breakthrough to Dou Zun is far too immense. If not for the assistance of Princess Nian Youyou's Nine Cauldrons Body, the purple flame thunder bead, countless Spirit Wines and Medicinal Pills, and the consumption of the Yellow Plum Fruit, he wouldn't have reached this stage!"

As Elder Dan and Wang Ku appeared, Hun Tiandi opened his eyes in mid-air, shooting out two bolts of lightning. The massive lightning Dragon transformed into a stream of pure energy and vanished into his body.

Crackle...

Hun Tiandi stretched, his body emitting the crisp sound of bones rubbing together, and he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

"Advancing to Dou Zun... so this is the power of a Dou Zun powerhouse!"

He lightly clenched his fist, feeling the vast, sea-like Dou Qi within his body. He was very happy; the practitioners on the Fighting Qi Continent spent their entire lives pursuing such terrifying power.

It was indeed captivating, enough to drive one mad.

With a lift of his hand, the spatial power in front of him distorted and buckled. If this were gripped onto a person's body, they would likely explode in an instant.

Every gesture displayed the majesty of a Dou Zun powerhouse.

At this moment, if he were to encounter Nian Kun and Cang Chengjun again, he would have absolute confidence in the battle.

The gap between a Dou Zun and a Dou Zong was across two different echelons.

His strength had increased at least tenfold. It was time to settle the blood debt with Cang Chengjun.

A flash of ferocity flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Whoosh!

Landing on the ground, Princess Nian Youyou smiled and said, "Congratulations on your advancement to Dou Zun!"

Hun Tiandi shook his head. After the consummation with Princess Nian Youyou, the power of Dual Cultivation allowed him to Breakthrough again. Otherwise, reaching Dou Zun would have taken at least two years.

One must know that after reaching the Dou Zong level, every star was difficult to break through, and the energy required later on was truly staggering.

"Youyou, you truly are my lucky star!" Hun Tiandi said with a smile, taking Princess Nian Youyou's jade-like hand.

The effects of their subsequent Dual Cultivation had weakened, which was normal.

Lei Xuanji and Mei Niang arrived, wearing meaningful expressions.

"Sisters!" Princess Nian Youyou said timidly.

"Youyou, don't be so formal. From now on, we are one family!" Lei Xuanji took Princess Nian Youyou's arm, and the three of them then departed.

Dressed in a golden Nine-Dragon robe and wearing the Pingtian Crown, Hun Tiandi walked into his study.

In the study stood Elder Dan, Wang Ku, and Mr. Corpse Soul.

"The time is almost here!" Hun Tiandi said, taking a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, it is about to begin!" Mr. Corpse Soul said with a solemn expression.

"Yes. Once the Cangtian Holy Land is destroyed, the flames of war will surely rise everywhere. Countless Imperial Dynasties and factions in the surrounding areas will join the chaotic battle. We must accumulate our strength!"

Hun Tiandi said firmly.

"Yes!" everyone immediately responded.

Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, Gantian Holy Palace!

Buzz!

With a flick of Nian Haocang's finger, a grand map appeared. The Cangtian Mountains stretched endlessly, marking a period of great prosperity.

"On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the armies of four dynasties will besiege the Cangtian Holy Land to destroy it, wiping them out completely and leaving nothing behind!"

Nian Haocang said coldly.

"Yes!" The experts of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty took their orders. Destroying the Cangtian Holy Land? This news was too shocking.

"Destroying the Cangtian Holy Land?" Mr. Corpse Soul said in shock. One must know that the Cangtian Holy Land was massive, with three great Buddhas, over thirty Bodhisattvas, and hundreds of Arhats...

Did such a massive faction have no hidden strength within?

This plan was enormous and would surely stir up turmoil across the continent, where pulling one hair would move the entire body. These were the strongest factions in the Central State.

Three Heavenly Dynasties and three Holy Lands. Now, the three Heavenly Dynasties were going to destroy one Holy Land, mobilizing nearly half of the top-tier powers.

Furthermore, how could the other Holy Lands fall behind? They would surely take action.

Shocking news indeed. Experts would be flying everywhere; who knew how many would fall?

"Your Majesty, which factions are besieging the Cangtian Holy Land?" Mr. Corpse Soul asked.

"The Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, and the Great Jiang Heavenly Dynasty!" Hun Tiandi said calmly.

The Great Jiang Heavenly Dynasty? It was a very mysterious Heavenly Dynasty; to think they actually agreed to Nian Haocang's plan.

Cangtian Holy Land!

Past Amitabha Buddha, Present Guiyuan Buddha, and Future Jinchan Buddha—the three great Buddhas sat on lotus pedestals, while the Old Woman Bodhisattva reported something before them.

They were discussing something, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Guiyuan Buddha's eyes were bloodshot, his aura running wild. Jinchan Buddha spoke: "Guiyuan, do not mind it anymore. So what if your Silent Zen was broken? That boy is somewhat peculiar!"

Guiyuan Buddha nodded speechlessly, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.
