I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now

Under the ancient pine and old trees, the Flame Emperor's voice shook the sky, full of enduring arrogance!

His body was ramrod straight, his unyielding iron bones standing proudly.

He was not arrogant about his own achievements, but he inherently possessed the confidence to bow down to no one.

These words made the Dou Emperor narrow his eyes slightly.

This scene, how familiar it was.

Once, he, like the Flame Emperor, believed that there was no existence in this world that could make him bend his knee.

He had also confidently stated that he would not bow down to anyone.

However, it was only after encountering Zhong Qing that he realized there were always people stronger than oneself, and realms beyond one's own.

Master himself could suppress all defiance in the world.

Thinking of this, the Dou Emperor's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the Flame Emperor and said, "Do not use up all your power, and do not speak all your words."

"I understand your thoughts, Brother Xiao. As a Great Emperor powerhouse, you are already one of the top figures in the Three Thousand Domains of the Lower Realm. Who among those who have reached this step isn't arrogant?"

"Who would think that he is weaker than others?"

"However, what I want to tell Brother Xiao now is that if you continue to hold onto this idea, you will inevitably miss a decision that you will regret for the rest of your life."

Seeing his serious expression, the Flame Emperor's sense of absurdity in his heart grew even more rampant.

He asked suspiciously, "Are you serious?"

"Do you think I would joke with you about such a matter?"

A rhetorical question made the Flame Emperor's Dao Heart tremble.

It was precisely because he knew the Dou Emperor's character that he found it even more incredible.

"Who exactly is that person?"

"Who can make you praise him so highly?"

"And even make you think that it would be an Opportunity for me to become his Disciple?"

"You should know that even a Three Tribulation Great Emperor powerhouse, though worthy of our reverence, is not qualified to be our Master!"

The Dou Emperor laughed: "Brother Xiao, why can't your thinking be more expansive? If a Three Tribulation Great Emperor cannot be our Master, why can't it be an existence above a Three Tribulation Great Emperor!"

"Moreover, that existence isn't someone you can just become a Disciple of; it also depends on whether he accepts you or not."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, as for myself, I previously wanted to follow that person, even going so far as to want to serve him as my lord, and I was still worried that he wouldn't accept me."

"It was also an Opportunity, to receive assistance from a noble person, and finally, by chance, I caught the eye of that person and became a small Disciple under him!"

"Now, that person has finally opened his mouth, wanting to accept a few Disciples. This kind of Opportunity, seeing as our friendship is deep, I thought of you first. Other people, even Great Emperor powerhouses, wanting to become a Disciple of this existence, probably don't even have a way in."

These words struck the Flame Emperor hard.

They caused an immense tremor in his entire worldview.

What did he hear?

The other party was actually an existence above a Great Emperor!

When did such a terrifying existence appear in the Three Thousand Domains of the Lower Realm?

But even if he was above a Great Emperor, so what?

His old friend had actually rushed to become someone's slave and servant, and was even worried that the person wouldn't accept him?

This was simply outrageous!

He really wanted to ask!

You are an existence of a One Tribulation Great Emperor, where is your dignity, where is your backbone?

This expression made him feel quite unfamiliar.

The Flame Emperor took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Brother Lin, everyone has their own choices."

"While I don't understand your choice, I choose to respect it!"

"However, even if the other party is truly an existence above a Great Emperor as you say, it absolutely cannot make me rush to bow down and become his Disciple."

"If your visit this time is only for this matter, then there's no need to say more!"

"I will not change my mind!"

"It's still the same old saying, I, a dignified Great Emperor, no one is qualified to be my Master, Xiao."

The Dou Emperor looked at the other party, who seemed uncorrupted by wealth and unyielding to power, and shook his head.

He knew that the Flame Emperor's current attitude was only because he didn't understand Master enough; once he thoroughly understood Master's methods, he would naturally change his mind.

Actions speak louder than words!

He decided to give the other party a small shock.

With that thought, he no longer held back and directly released his own Qi!

That cultivation, unique to a Two Tribulation Great Emperor, shook the clouds and filled the sky, as if the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth would surrender under his will.

This scene made the Flame Emperor's eyes instantly widen.

"You... you actually passed the Second Emperor Tribulation!"

"You... when did you Breakthrough?"

At this moment, his heart was clearly churning with endless storms and giant waves.

The power of the Second Emperor Tribulation was more than ten times stronger than that of the First Emperor Tribulation.

Even though he had long touched the threshold of the Two Tribulation Great Emperor, and even glimpsed a bit of the Two Tribulation Great Emperor Realm, he had been hesitant to trigger the Second Emperor Tribulation.

This was because he had no confidence at all in passing this Tribulation, not even a ten percent chance.

He had always believed that in the Dao of the Emperor Realm, he should be half a step ahead of the Dou Emperor.

Yet now, the other party had actually stepped in ahead of him.

This, in his opinion, was undoubtedly extremely incredible.

Before the Dou Emperor could reply, a flash of inspiration went through the Flame Emperor's mind.

"Could it be that your current achievements are... are created by your Revered Master?!"

After all, he was a Great Emperor-level figure. Despite the shock in his heart, combining what the Dou Emperor had said earlier, he quickly understood the reason.

And it answered many of his doubts!

No wonder!

No wonder the Dou Emperor praised his so-called Revered Master so highly.

So, there was this reason.

At this moment!

The belief he had held in his heart wavered.

If someone could help him successfully pass the Second Emperor Tribulation, accepting him as Revered Master didn't seem entirely unacceptable.

The Dou Emperor was somewhat surprised by his old friend's attitude.

In his opinion, the other party's attitude should have done a complete 180 the moment he displayed his cultivation, but he didn't expect him to only waver a bit.

It seemed the shock he caused was still far from great enough!

While contemplating, his expression shifted.

"Brother Xiao, take a look, what is this?"

As he spoke, he directly pulled out the Immortal Artifact bestowed by Zhong Qing.

To achieve the ideal effect, he directly activated the Immortal Artifact.

In an instant, immortal light radiated everywhere, filling the sky. A profound, ancient, and eternal aura spread, as if some supreme existence was reviving, awakening.

The power belonging to the Immortal Artifact startled the Flame Emperor repeatedly, and made his already wide eyes contract sharply once more.

"Immortal... Immortal Artifact!"

"This is actually an Immortal Artifact!"

He cried out in surprise, and deep within his heart, it felt as if something had violently crashed into him.

The Dou Emperor toyed with the Immortal Artifact in his hand, putting on a nonchalant display of arrogance, saying, "This, too, was bestowed by Revered Master for my self-defense!"

"How about it? Do you still think there's no one in this world who can be your Revered Master now?"

The Flame Emperor's expression froze, then he rubbed his hands and chuckled awkwardly, "Senior Brother, please don't make fun of me. I admit, I spoke a bit too loudly earlier. I hope Senior Brother won't hold it against me!"
