378: Chapter 378 The Demons Rampant! The Flame Emperor Emerges from Seclusion

Within that portal, a thick aura of evil surged forth, forming a single finger that lightly tapped the Void Realm.

In the next instant, the Void Realm froze completely, and Zhu Kun's incomparably massive Dragon claw was effortlessly blocked by that tiny finger.

Following that, the finger bent slightly and flicked out, looking completely plain and unremarkable.

Yet, the next moment, a storm sweeping across ten thousand zhang of space appeared, forcing Zhu Kun, who had revealed his true form, to retreat.

"Pfft!"

A surge of Devilish Qi suddenly welled up in their hearts, causing Gu Yuan and the other three, who were coordinating the formation with Zhu Kun, to vomit blood. The power and Dou Qi flowing within their Bloodline began to dissipate rapidly.

"What is happening!?"

Colorful Glass, Fairy Huoling, and the others arrived just in time to see the scene of Zhu Kun and the others being forced back by a single finger.

They were not just forced back; they were injured, and their vitality and Soul were in a bad state.

"Dou Di, this is definitely a Dou Di level expert!"

Gu Yuan clutched his chest, using his Emperor Realm Soul to barely suppress the rampaging Devilish Qi within his body.

Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Zhu Huo lacked his strength, and they looked increasingly unwell.

"Dou Di?"

A cold, disdainful laugh echoed throughout the world.

"This seat seems to have heard of this title. In the Major Thousand Worlds, it is an existence comparable to an Earth Supreme, capable of fighting against a Demon General."

As he spoke, the Devilish Qi behind the finger that had first appeared surged, condensing into a man. He was pale and handsome with purple eyes, giving off an eerie, Soul-captivating feeling.

An eye appeared on the man's forehead. His gaze, carrying strange fluctuations, swept over Gu Yuan and the others. A look of surprise flashed in his purple eyes: "Your situation seems somewhat wrong."

"Judging by your aura, your Realm is similar to those Supremes in the Major Thousand Worlds, yet your power is pitifully weak."

While pondering, the man looked up at the sky, and a beam of light shot out from the eye on his forehead.

The next moment, a look of realization appeared on his face: "So this Lower Plane has already been shattered, its Origin completely lost, becoming a desolate land of exile."

"If you could obtain the power of the Origin, your strength could be even greater, comparable to Peak Three-Samsara Realm experts. Even this seat would not be your match."

"This opportunity belongs to me!"

An excited smile appeared on the man's face as he raised his hands.

The next moment, Devilish Qi surged, forming a giant palm ten thousand zhang wide that swiped toward Gu Yuan and the others.

"You lot are not bad; you can serve as my dogs!"

That terrifying Devilish Qi carried the power of erosion. The energy of the world was rapidly polluted, and the Dou Sheng present could feel their control over the world's power slipping away, their Dou Qi suppressed.

Zi Yan, Colorful Glass, and the others attacked one after another, but when the Dou Technique they unleashed touched that giant black hand, they melted away like snow meeting sunlight.

"Send a message to Gu Han!" Xun'er summoned the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, preparing to use a secret technique.

But the next moment, she widened her eyes in astonishment.

The Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame within her body was completely out of her control, piercing through the Void Realm and flying toward one side.

Not only that, but the Red Lotus Karma Fire within Huo Zhi, the fused Heavenly Flame within Yan Jin, and the Netherworld Poison Flame within Xiao Yi Xian all autonomously left their bodies and flew toward a spot in the Void Realm.

"Hmm?"

The purple-eyed man narrowed his eyes, and the vertical pupil on his forehead shot a beam of light toward that spot in the Void Realm.

Crack!

Space shattered, and brilliant flames flew out from within.

Following that, layers of brilliant flames flew out, transforming into an incomparably huge flame shield that covered the tens of thousands of miles where the Soul Realm was located, forming a flame barrier.

Inside the Soul Realm, Ling Qingxuan and the others only felt their bodies sway before they were transported through space to the outside of the Soul Realm.

"Boom boom!"

The pitch-black, giant palm print slammed fiercely against the flame shield around the Soul Realm, but it did not display the destructive effect it had previously shown against Zhu Kun and the others.

Instead, as the flames rolled, the pitch-black flames were burned into nothingness.

At the center of those countless brilliant flames, a figure walked out, looking like a flame monarch, a flame Supreme.

At the same time, in the Jia Ma Empire's Wutan City of the Northwest Continent, the Starfall Pavilion in Central Plains, and the Xuanwu Hall headquarters, the auras of the Xiao Family members suddenly surged, their cultivation soaring in a way that surpassed human understanding.

Xiao Zhan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Ding, who had the closest Bloodline to Xiao Yan, all saw their cultivation surge to the Dou Sheng level.

Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and others, whose Bloodline were already three or even five generations removed from Xiao Yan, also improved, though not as exaggeratedly, reaching the Dou Zun or Peak Dou Zun level.

In an instant, the hundreds of members of the Xiao Family all reached at least the Dou Zun level.

Discovering this situation, Zhu Kun, whose body was half-stained by the pitch-black aura, returned to Gu Yuan's side with a look of ecstatic joy at having survived a disaster: "Their Dou Di Bloodline has been activated! This kid Xiao Yan did not let down the expectations of my son-in-law, breaking through to Dou Di by borrowing the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Legacy!"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan and the others also revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.

Five years ago, one month after Gu Han dealt with Hun Tiandi, he decided to enter a closed-door seclusion.

Before that, he held a meeting with them, requested the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and then took them to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode space, directly opening the gates of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode.

The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode, known only to experts at the Dou Sheng level, became a Secret Realm controlled by Xuanwu Hall, opened every ten years for Dou Sheng experts to train.

They followed him into the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode and all gained quite a few benefits.

People like Yao Dan all broke through to Eight Star Dou Sheng.

Yan Jin and the others not only stabilized their cultivation, but their Soul also reached the half-step Emperor Realm.

But the person who gained the most was Xiao Yan, because Gu Han guided him to enter a special place on the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's statue, saying he could obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Legacy.

It was a Legacy that could allow one to break through to Dou Di, possessing the complete Di Origin!

As for the emperor pill embryo, Gu Han used his Supreme Dharma Body and captured it with a single slap using absolute strength.

Unexpectedly, five years later, Xiao Yan had truly broken through to the Dou Di level!

"Dou Di?"

"It doesn't seem quite like it."

The purple-eyed man sized up Xiao Yan, who had suddenly appeared to stop his attack.

"This Dou Di of yours is much, much weaker than the ones I know!"

"Heh." Xiao Yan wore a black robe, the clan tattoo on his forehead shining, his eyes full of killing intent: "If the Fighting Qi Continent were still in its ancient prime, a small Alien Demon like you, only comparable to a seventh-grade Supreme, would not be qualified to act rampantly here."

"Although I cannot compare to those Seniors, it is enough to suppress you."

As his voice fell, the flames around Xiao Yan danced wildly, and all the Heavenly Flames that had been absorbed and returned in advance surged into his body, transforming into a super flame body ten thousand zhang tall.

After obtaining the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Legacy and becoming a Dou Di, he also learned some things about the ancient times.

That was that Dou Sheng experts could already touch the Origin Qi.

The richness of the world's energy was over a hundred times that of today.

Not only was Cultivate speed faster, but the execution of Dou Technique was also enhanced by more than dozens of times!
