385: I have everything I need!

As Gu Yuan and Void Swallowing Flame, two Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses, violently collided and the energy ripples exploding from the center of the battlefield instantly cleared everything within ten thousand zhang, the entire ruins of Jia Nan Academy had already transformed into a chaotic killing field.

Dou Zun and Dou Sheng powerhouses fought in pairs, and above the sky, various colors of Dou Qi radiance flashed wildly, with explosions, roars, and the clang of weapons ringing out incessantly.

Every energy clash caused this ravaged land to tremble violently, and space collapsed in large swaths, revealing the pitch-black void before being forcibly sealed by the surging energy that followed.

Jiang Donghua mingled among the Yan Clan allied forces, his aura perfectly contained, neither overly conspicuous nor likely to be treated as cannon fodder.

His gaze appeared focused on a Hun Clan powerhouse in front of him, but his Emperor Realm Soul Power had already spread out like invisible mercury, bringing all the subtle changes of the entire battlefield into his perception.

His opponent was a peak Three-Revolution Dou Zun from the Hun Clan.

This person was dressed in a black robe with a sinister face, surrounded by black mist, from which faint, mournful Soul shrieks could be heard, indicating that he clearly cultivated the Hun Clan's strange technique of devouring Souls to strengthen himself.

"Heh heh, trash from the Yan Clan, you dare to interfere in such a major event? Die!"

The Hun Clan Dou Zun let out a strange laugh, extended his withered palm, and as his five fingers curled, five chains, pitch-black like ink and emanating a Soul-corroding aura, tore through space like poisonous snakes, shooting toward Jiang Donghua's vital points.

Dou Technique, Phantom Soul Lock!

This strike was vicious and tricky; if it were an ordinary Three-Revolution Dou Zun, their Soul would likely be instantly injured, severely reducing their combat power.

However, an almost imperceptible hint of amusement flashed in Jiang Donghua's eyes.

He deliberately acted flustered, and crimson Dou Qi surged out around him, transforming into a thick flame shield to block in front of him.

"Boom!"

The Phantom Soul Lock violently struck the flame shield, letting out a muffled roar.

The flame shield shook violently, and cracks appeared on its surface, seemingly barely holding up. Jiang Donghua himself let out a muffled groan, staggered back over ten steps, and his face paled just the right amount.

"Hmph! You have some skill, let's see how many times you can block this!"

Seeing that his strike failed to instantly kill, the Hun Clan Dou Zun's eyes flashed with increased ferocity. He formed hand seals, and more black chains surged out from his body, forming a massive net that obscured the sky and enveloped Jiang Donghua, attempting to completely bind and refine him.

Jiang Donghua struggled to wield streaks of flame, maneuvering against the black chains. Although he appeared to be in constant danger, barely dodging vital points or narrowly repelling the chains' entanglement, his heart was calm, and he even felt like laughing.

"The force is acceptable, but the speed is too slow, and the application of Soul Power is crude. It seems the quality of the Hun Clan's Dou Zun is not as high as rumored."

He even had the leisure to critique his opponent's moves internally.

The reason he chose this opponent was precisely because his peak Three-Revolution Dou Zun cultivation was neither too high nor too low, allowing him to reasonably participate in the great battle without attracting the attention of peak existences like Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan too early.

As the allied forces and the Hun Clan army fought fiercely, the entire world was rendered colorful by chaotic Dou Qi, and space was fragmented. Suddenly, the ten-thousand-zhang magma abyss split open by Hun Tiandi's palm underwent a strange change!

"Rumble—"

A deep and shocking roar, as if the heart of an ancient behemoth had begun to beat, came from deep underground.

An indescribably ancient, vast aura, seemingly transcending all living beings, suddenly awoke like a volcano that had slept for ten thousand years, spreading out in an unstoppable manner!

The appearance of this aura instantly suppressed all the noise on the battlefield!

Whether it was the roar of a Dou Zun or the shocking explosion of a Dou Sheng exchange, everything seemed insignificant before this aura.

Countless powerhouses engaged in life-and-death struggles involuntarily stopped their movements, looking in horror toward the magma abyss.

Even Gu Yuan and Void Swallowing Flame, who were in the middle of a fierce battle, forcibly exchanged one final palm strike before temporarily separating, their gazes extremely solemn as they looked toward the source of the aura.

Jiang Donghua, mingling in the crowd, felt a solemn chill in his heart even though he had expected it, upon personally feeling this aura.

This aura was not merely energy pressure; it was more like an absolute superiority in terms of life level and rules, causing even his peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng cultivation to feel a deep stirring and suppression originating from the depths of his Soul.

"The Ancient Emperor Cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor truly lives up to its reputation."

He muttered internally, while subtly retreating a distance with the dispersing Yan Clan allied forces.

He knew better than anyone what the emergence of the cave meant—it meant that the Old Dragon Emperor, Zhu Kun, who had been imprisoned by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor for thousands of years, was about to emerge!

Sure enough!

The moment the ancient aura reached its peak.

"Bang!!!!!!"

A tremendous explosion, as if the heavens and earth were first splitting open, erupted!

The ten-thousand-zhang abyss below completely boiled, and crimson magma, like ten thousand volcanoes erupting simultaneously, surged into the sky, carrying destructive energy!

And within that towering pillar of magma, an indescribably massive purplish-gold shadow slowly emerged.

That was a Dragon!

A gigantic Dragon whose partially revealed body was already enough to block out the sun!

Immediately following, a terrifying aura—violent, fierce, and filled with the fury and power accumulated over endless years—swept out like a storm!

The strength of this aura was in no way inferior to that of Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan on the field!

"I'm finally out!"

A low and majestic Dragon roar exploded like thunder deep within everyone's Soul.

Some weaker Dou Zun instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces turning deathly pale.

Xiao Yan, who had just become the focus due to the Ancient Emperor Cave's emergence, hadn't had time to react further when he saw the purplish-gold giant Dragon's icy pupils sweep toward him.

Immediately afterward, an utterly irresistible immense force struck from across the air!

"Pfft!"

Xiao Yan couldn't even put up an effective defense; he was struck heavily, spitting blood wildly, and his body was instantly covered in cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter. His aura suddenly plummeted to its lowest point, and he fell directly from the sky, fortunately caught by a quick-witted Gu Clan powerhouse.

Two slaps nearly caused Xiao Yan, who was now capable of rivaling a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, to explode and die!

This was the power of the Old Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, Zhu Kun!

This scene caused the allied forces' expressions to change drastically, and a hint of surprise and solemnity flashed in Hun Tiandi's eyes.

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie stagnation due to Zhu Kun's sudden appearance.

The three forces checked each other, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

At this moment, Jiang Donghua, hidden at the rear of the allied forces, had exceptionally bright eyes, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

Several Void Ancient Dragon elders quickly recounted in the most concise language the turmoil of the Dragon Clan after Zhu Kun's disappearance, how Zi Yan was stranded outside, how she was eventually helped by Xiao Yan, and how she gradually awakened her bloodline and unified Ancient Dragon Island.

As Zhu Kun listened, the violence in his massive Dragon pupils was gradually replaced by an indescribably complex emotion: guilt, ecstasy, and endless heartache.

His massive body began to emit a soft light, rapidly shrinking until he finally transformed into a middle-aged man wearing a purplish-gold Dragon robe, with a majestic face but eyes carrying a hint of excitement and daze.

He took one step and arrived before Zi Yan, extending a trembling hand, seemingly wanting to touch his daughter's face, yet also slightly disbelieving.

"My... daughter..."

Zhu Kun's voice was hoarse; thousands of years of imprisonment and longing turned into a torrent at this moment, impacting his mind.

While Zhu Kun and Zi Yan were recognizing each other and their minds were agitated, the allied forces, especially Gu Yuan, immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"The Ancient Emperor Cave is open! Hun Tiandi is going in!"

Gu Yuan roared, and his figure was the first to turn into a streak of light, rushing directly toward the ancient stone gate suspended above the magma.

Seeing this, Void Swallowing Flame immediately abandoned his entanglement and rushed into the cave right after Hun Tiandi.

The allied powerhouses awoke as if from a dream. At this moment, they ignored the touching scene of father and daughter reuniting, bursting forth with speed and pouring like a tide into the stone gate that exuded endless antiquity and majesty.

Jiang Donghua mingled among the Yan Clan powerhouses.

He then no longer hesitated, rushing into the Ancient Emperor Cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor with the flow of people.

Inside the cave, it was not the expected scene of pavilions and terraces, but a boundless and strange space.

After rushing in, everyone found themselves rapidly flying through a passage made of light. Surrounding them were flowing, multicolored rays, permeated by an unimaginably pure energy of heaven and earth.

This flight lasted for about ten minutes before the path suddenly opened up!

A massive ancient stone hall, whose end was invisible, appeared before everyone's eyes.

The stone hall exuded an aura of antiquity, and a boundless, majestic pressure spread from within it, enveloping the space.

In front of the stone hall was a huge plaza.

Numerous stone pillars stood on the plaza, but most striking were the hundreds of light clusters of various colors floating in the central area of the plaza!

"Are those cultivation methods and Dou Technique?!"

Those with sharp eyes immediately exclaimed in shock.

Inside those light clusters were clearly scrolls, jade slips, and similar items, and the energy fluctuations emanating from the light clusters themselves were terrifyingly powerful!

"Heaven Rank! They are all Heaven Rank cultivation methods and Dou Technique!"

The entire plaza instantly erupted!

Any single Heaven Rank cultivation method or Dou Technique in the outside world would be enough to cause bloodshed, yet here they floated as if they were ordinary objects!

Even figures like Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan had slight fluctuations in their eyes when their gazes swept over the light clusters.

However, their goal was clearly not here. After only a brief pause, they shot toward the deepest part of the stone hall without hesitation.

Their target was the sole opportunity to become an Emperor: the emperor pill embryo!

Many other powerhouses among the allied forces could not suppress their inner greed and began to snatch the Heaven Rank light clusters, instantly triggering a chaotic struggle on the plaza.

Jiang Donghua's Soul Power swept over the light clusters, confirming they were all low or intermediate Heaven Rank items, which were of little use to him.

He did not linger, his figure passing through the chaotic struggle area like a phantom, trailing closely behind the group of peak powerhouses like Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan, sneaking toward the depths of the stone hall.

Finally, everyone traversed the long corridor and reached the core area of the stone hall.

The sight before them caused everyone to hold their breath.

This place seemed to be an independent world. Underfoot was hazy mist, and in the center was a huge lake, but what flowed in the lake was not water, but fiercely burning flames!

Various kinds of flames, colorful and emitting terrifying temperatures, coexisted in a strange harmony.

And in the center of the flame lake, there was a small stone island.

Upon the stone island, there was only one figure.

It was an old man dressed in ordinary clothes, with a common face and a faint smile.

However, this seemingly ordinary figure caused Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, Void Swallowing Flame, and the others who arrived first to suddenly stiffen, their expressions changing drastically!

Because from this old man, they sensed an aura that was completely incompatible with this world, yet simultaneously transcended it!

They had only heard of that kind of aura in ancient legends; it originated from the same source as the aura of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor felt outside the cave, but it was far more real!

The old man's gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally resting on the extremely solemn face of Hun Tiandi. He smiled faintly, and his aged voice slowly echoed in this silent space.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect that someone could actually make it here..."

"My name is Tuoshe, and the world calls me... Tuoshe Ancient Emperor."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was earth-shattering!

Everyone was terrified out of their wits, including Jiang Donghua, who was hidden in the shadows at the back, his pupils suddenly contracting!

Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is actually still alive?!

How is this possible!

However, the system panel within Jiang Donghua was unusually joyful at this moment, sensing a familiar taste that made his system panel want to devour it.

Just as everyone was trembling and intimidated by the supreme pressure brought by the appearance of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, a sharp and venomous voice suddenly rang out, breaking the deathly silence.

"Nonsense!"

The one who spoke was none other than Void Swallowing Flame!

He stared intently at the ordinary old man on the stone island, his face filled with extreme rage and the humiliation of being deceived, and he shouted sharply.

"Old thing! Stop playing tricks here! You are not Tuoshe Ancient Emperor at all! You are merely a pill refined by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor—the emperor pill embryo!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap!

Upon hearing this, the faint smile on the old man's face on the stone island slightly receded, and an extremely hard-to-detect ripple flashed deep in his eyes, but he still spoke calmly.

"Void Swallowing Flame, you still remember this Emperor."

"Remember? Of course, I remember!"

Void Swallowing Flame sneered.

"Back then, I was created along with you by that old fellow. He became the spirit of this cave, while I fortunately escaped! Do you, a mere pill, dare to impersonate the Ancient Emperor?"

The truth was revealed!

This existence, possessing an aura close to that of a Dou Di, was not the true Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, but the emperor pill embryo—the item capable of allowing anyone to advance to Dou Di!

It had existed for an unknown number of years, had actually developed sentience, and had become this powerful!

Seeing that it had been exposed, the emperor pill embryo no longer maintained its disguise and let out a cold snort.

"So what? Do you think that the few of you can handle this Emperor?"

"Whether we can handle it or not, we'll know once we try!"

The fervor in Hun Tiandi's eyes instantly peaked. The opportunity to become an Emperor was right before him; how could he let it slip?

Almost the instant his voice fell, he was the first to attack!

"Attack together! Take it down!"

Gu Yuan roared simultaneously. The emperor pill embryo concerned the survival of the continent, and they absolutely could not let Hun Tiandi obtain it!

Although Zhu Kun was not entirely aligned with the allied forces, the temptation of the emperor pill embryo and the consensus to prevent Hun Tiandi from becoming an Emperor also made him choose to attack without hesitation!

In an instant, four Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses, standing at the pinnacle of the Fighting Qi Continent, simultaneously unleashed earth-shattering, terrifying offensives!

Hun Tiandi’s blood-colored Soul Palm, Gu Yuan’s vast Ancient Emperor Mirror Light, Zhu Kun’s purple-gold Dragon Emperor Fist Seal, and Void Swallowing Flame’s Devouring Black Flame!

Four attacks, each capable of destroying a region of heaven and earth, tore through space from different directions and fiercely blasted towards the emperor pill embryo on the stone island!

This power was enough to instantly annihilate any powerhouse below the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level!

However, facing this world-destroying siege, the old man formed from the emperor pill embryo merely slowly raised his palm, and then lightly pressed forward.

“Om!”

An indescribable ripple of law spread out from the center of his palm.

The four incredibly violent attacks, upon contact with this ripple, solidified instantly like ice and snow meeting spring, and then, in a silent ripple, shattered and annihilated inch by inch!

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and Void Swallowing Flame, all four of them, were struck by a heavy blow, their bodies trembled violently, their faces paled, and they involuntarily flew backward, drawing long streaks in the air before finally managing to stabilize themselves, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief!

The combined force of four Nine-Star Dou Sheng was actually repelled by the emperor pill embryo with such a casual palm strike!

“Holy crap! It’s just like the original script!”

Jiang Donghua, hidden in the shadows, his aura restrained to the extreme, couldn’t help but twitch his eyes when he saw this scene.

The strength of this emperor pill embryo was indeed monstrous, already infinitely close to the true Dou Di level!

Trying to snatch it by force was absolutely impossible.

Void Swallowing Flame suddenly asked Hun Tiandi for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, he spat out black blood, and formed the same mysterious hand seals as the Ancient Emperor Stone Statue.

The ancient jade then transformed into a dazzling circle of flame, named the Pill Transformation God Art.

The emperor pill embryo cried out in terror upon seeing this, recognizing it as Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Pill Transformation God Art.

After the halo enveloped the embryo, it immediately emitted white smoke and let out a piercing scream.

Void Swallowing Flame was also surprised by this outcome.

Jiang Donghua knew that the moment he had waited for countless years, the moment he had plotted for countless years.

That one moment, the only chance to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth and possibly succeed, had finally arrived!

The system panel within his body was already emitting a silent hum, an extreme craving for supreme energy, almost bursting out of his body!

“Wait a little longer, wait until the emperor pill embryo is completely suppressed, and its origin manifests…that very instant…”

Jiang Donghua’s body leaned slightly forward, like a fully drawn bow, all his strength, all his spirit, concentrated on the burst in that next instant!

At the critical moment when Hun Tiandi was fully activating the Pill Transformation God Art, and the ancient jade chains glowed brightly, suppressing the emperor pill embryo until its radiance flickered wildly and its true form was vaguely visible!

Just as Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun were desperately blocked by the Hun Clan powerhouses and Void Swallowing Flame, roaring repeatedly but temporarily unable to break through!

Just as all the onlookers held their breath, believing the overall situation was about to be decided!

An unexpected change suddenly occurred!

“Whoosh!”

A figure, without any warning, shot out from the shadows behind the Yan Clan allied forces!

His speed was far beyond anyone present’s imagination, as if he had directly torn through space, leaving behind a slowly dissipating fiery afterimage in his original spot!

No unnecessary words, no slightest hesitation!

The moment that figure appeared, a terrifying aura of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng pinnacle, no weaker than Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and others, erupted like a dormant volcano of ten thousand years, sweeping across the entire ancient stone hall!

“Burning Heaven Fierce Flame Palm!”

A cold, low shout rang out. The newcomer formed a single-hand seal and struck out with a palm!

Immediately, the fire-attribute energy of the entire space was instantly drained, condensing into a flame palm print only a hundred zhang in size, yet condensed to the extreme, its color almost pure white!

Wherever the palm print passed, space did not collapse, but was directly annihilated, revealing the deepest darkness!

This was one of the most powerful Heaven Tier High Rank fire-attribute Dou Technique among the Pill Tower’s collection!

At the same time, the newcomer’s figure flickered strangely in the air, each flicker leaving behind a solid fiery clone, while his true body approached Hun Tiandi at a speed beyond thought!

This was another Heaven Tier High Rank movement Dou Technique—Flowing Fire Thousand Illusions!

The target was Hun Tiandi, who was fully casting the spell, his aura closely connected to the emperor pill embryo, his old strength just gone and new strength not yet born, and still bearing some injuries from being shaken by the emperor pill embryo earlier!

“What?!”

“Nine-Star Dou Sheng pinnacle?!”

“Who is it?!”

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone!

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun’s pupils contracted sharply, and Void Swallowing Flame’s face showed shock for the first time!

Hun Tiandi’s hair stood on end even more, a fatal sense of crisis instantly enveloping his entire body!

He never expected that while the mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole was behind!

And this oriole had been hidden so deeply, and was so incredibly strong!

He wanted to turn back to defend, but the Pill Transformation God Art was at its most critical moment; once interrupted, not only would all previous efforts be in vain, but he would also suffer a double backlash from the emperor pill embryo and the power of the ancient jade!

In a flash of lightning, Hun Tiandi could only frantically mobilize a portion of his Dou Qi, hastily condensing a thick blood-colored soul shield behind him!

“Boom!!!!!!”

The pure white Burning Heaven Fierce Flame Palm solidly imprinted itself upon the blood-colored soul shield!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded!

The soul shield only lasted for an instant before it shattered with a bang!

Hun Tiandi was struck by a heavy blow, a large mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and his body staggered forward, the light of the Pill Transformation God Art in his hand flickering violently, almost collapsing!

And Jiang Donghua wanted precisely this effect!

His true goal was never to kill Hun Tiandi, but to interrupt the Pill Transformation God Art and create chaos, precisely at the moment his palm force collided with the soul shield, and the energy violently erupted, obscuring all perception.

“Om!”

An invisible, exquisitely profound suction force quietly emanated from Jiang Donghua’s body, precisely penetrating the energy turbulence, enveloping the emperor pill embryo which had temporarily lost its restraint due to the interruption of the Pill Transformation God Art, its body violently fluctuating, and chaotic colored Source Qi beginning to dissipate from its core!

No, more accurately, it enveloped that chaotic colored gaseous Source Qi!

Just at the one-billionth of a second when that wisp of Source Qi had just dissipated from within the emperor pill embryo!

The system panel within Jiang Donghua’s body erupted with unprecedented craving and light!

That imperceptible wisp of Source Qi, before it could even be sensed by any powerhouse present, was instantly pulled into Jiang Donghua’s body by a brutal, overbearing, and utterly unreasonable force, disappearing without a trace, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

It worked!

Jiang Donghua was ecstatic!

Although it was only this much Source Qi, it proved that his conjecture was entirely correct!

The system could directly devour Source Qi!

“Brat! You’re courting death!”

“Bastard!”

Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame reacted almost simultaneously, letting out earth-shattering roars!

Especially Hun Tiandi, seeing the emperor pill embryo, which was almost successfully refined, interrupted by someone, and himself injured, he was almost driven mad with rage!

The two disregarded everything, abandoned their original targets, and terrifying attacks instantly locked onto Jiang Donghua!

At this moment, the various powerhouses around, whether from the allied forces or the Hun Clan, who were originally fighting for Heaven Rank Dou Skill or observing the peak duel, all felt their hearts being fiercely clutched by an invisible hand, throbbing and almost suffocating!

Countless gazes, filled with horror, focused on the suddenly appearing, unfamiliar figure emanating the aura of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng pinnacle.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun also stopped their assault, looking at Jiang Donghua with extremely grave expressions, immense waves churning in their hearts!

One Hun Tiandi, one Void Swallowing Flame, had already made the situation complicated and difficult enough.

Now, how could another terrifying existence, never heard of before, with strength reaching the Nine-Star Dou Sheng pinnacle, suddenly appear out of nowhere, besides the Old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun?!

When did the waters of this continent become so deep?!

The entire Alien Flame Square fell into a strange, eerie silence, with only the aftershocks of energy collisions hissing.

All points of conflict instantly shifted from the emperor pill embryo to this mysteriously appearing Jiang Donghua, who dared to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth!

[Host: Jiang Donghua]

[Realm: Dou Di]

[Main Cultivation Technique: Burning Heaven Fierce Sun Art (Heaven Tier High Rank)]

Facing Hun Tiandi’s enraged strike, a blood-colored soul blade capable of tearing stars apart, and Void Swallowing Flame’s black fire lotus that devoured all things and even twisted light, the enraged strikes of two great Nine-Star Dou Sheng were enough to make any powerhouse of the same rank stand ready, or even avoid their edge.

However, Jiang Donghua merely floated quietly in the air, his face even bearing a faint trace of mockery.

He watched the two world-destroying attacks whistle towards him, as if merely watching two moths flying into a flame.

Just as the attacks were about to reach him, he finally moved.

There was no earth-shattering eruption of aura, no complex and profound seals formed; he merely casually, as if brushing dust from his sleeve, raised his right hand, and then, lightly waved it forward.

Yes, a wave.

Just like an ordinary person waving to shoo away an annoying fly.

However, with this seemingly casual wave, the time and space of the entire Ancient Emperor Cave’s core space seemed to completely solidify at that moment!

Hun Tiandi’s blood-colored soul blade, imbued with endless malice and killing intent, at a distance of a hundred zhang from Jiang Donghua, seemed to hit an invisible, absolutely insurmountable barrier, unable to even stir a ripple, before shattering inch by inch, turning into the most primitive energy particles, annihilated into nothingness.

Void Swallowing Flame’s black fire lotus, capable of burning mountains, boiling seas, and devouring souls, was like encountering its nemesis; the destructive fluctuation on its lotus body instantly subsided, and the raging black flames were like being choked by an invisible hand, rapidly dimming, shrinking, and finally, with a puff, completely extinguished, without even a wisp of smoke rising.

“What?!”

The ferocity and killing intent on Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame’s faces instantly froze, replaced by unparalleled shock and disbelief!

Their fully unleashed Heaven Rank Dou Technique was actually erased by the other party so casually?

This had completely exceeded the scope of their understanding of power!

But this was just the beginning.

Jiang Donghua’s waving hand did not stop moving.

His five fingers slightly spread, and he gently pressed downwards towards the direction of Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame.

“Om—”

An indescribable will, accompanied by Jiang Donghua’s movement, descended.

That was not Dou Qi, not energy, but a rule!

It was words becoming law, it was heaven and earth submitting!

Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame only felt the space around them instantly turn into billions of zhang thick profound iron, firmly imprisoning them in place, unable to move even a single finger!

Their vast, sea-like Nine-Star Dou Sheng Dou Qi, now as docile as a stream, was completely suppressed, unable to be mobilized in the slightest!

What made their souls tremble even more was that they felt an absolute crushing power on a life level!

Before that aura, they felt as insignificant as ants, as if the other party could decide their life and death with a single thought!

“Thump!”

“Thump!”

The two magnates, who had stood at the pinnacle of the continent for thousands of years, under this invisible pressure, actually softened their knees as if crushed by a mountain, kneeling heavily in the void without any power to resist!

Their heads were firmly pressed down by an invisible force, unable to even lift them!

Only then did Jiang Donghua seem to unlock some kind of restraint; a truly transcendent aura, like a primeval supreme being that had slumbered for ages, slowly awakened and spread from within him!

This aura was not violent, but it carried supreme majesty.

The moment it appeared, the entire Ancient Emperor Cave trembled slightly, as if worshiping its monarch.

Below, in the vast lake of flames, all the Alien Flames docilely prostrated themselves, like subjects facing their emperor.

The distant floating Heaven Rank Dou Technique light clusters, their light dimmed.

Gu Yuan stood dumbfounded, the light of the Ancient Emperor Mirror in his hand receding.

Zhu Kun’s dragon pupils contracted, his body trembling uncontrollably.

All the allied forces and Hun Clan powerhouses still fighting involuntarily stopped, their gazes filled with horror as they looked at that god-like figure.

The entire space was dead silent.

Jiang Donghua looked down at Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame, whom he had casually suppressed and who were kneeling at his feet, then swept his gaze over Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and the others, who were filled with shock and bewilderment, and finally spoke faintly, his voice calm, yet like a heavenly decree, echoing in everyone’s soul.

“Cultivating for a hundred years, dominating the continent, all you sought was that wisp of Source Qi, an Emperor position.”

“Too bad, I became Emperor first!”

He shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of indifference as he overlooked all beings.

“Now, I lack nothing.”

“Hun Tiandi, your subordinates wanted to kill me earlier.”

“You two, go die for me.”

As his voice fell, that Dou Di aura, which made all things submit and rewrote rules, completely enveloped this heaven and earth!

And Void Swallowing Flame and Hun Tiandi seemed as if they had never existed in this world.

Meanwhile, Jiang Donghua’s children in Sound Valley suddenly jumped to at least Seven-Star Dou Sheng!

A new Dou Di, today, in this place, was born with the posture of suppressing all enemies of the current era!

End of the entire novel.
