Chapter 177 The Inheritance of the Dou Di! The 3-Year Agreement
On the stone statue of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, the nascent emperor-level cultivator looked at the twenty four-colored fire lotuses spinning before him, and a look of horror suddenly rose in his eyes.
He sensed an extremely terrifying power within these fiery lotuses!
"Imperial Palm!!"
The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly opened his eyes, his body abruptly soaring into the air. Then, he pressed his palm down towards the fire lotuses below. The instant his palm struck out, a dazzling ball of light, about the size of a human head, suddenly emerged!
"Bang bang bang!"
As this dazzling ball of light appeared, the energy in the world suddenly ignited, like boiling oil meeting a hot fire.
Looking out, the boundless sky was filled with raging flames, and the world was transformed into a furnace at this moment.
The fiery lotus burst forth, and a terrifying sonic boom rose through the space.
The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator's pupils widened, his face hardening with coldness. He slammed his hands down, and the flames burning between heaven and earth collided instantly with the flames bursting from the fire lotus.
"Bang!!"
A deafening roar, like the collapse of heaven and earth, rose through the air. The rolling fire lotus, carrying terrifying power, instantly overwhelmed the flames controlled by the Emperor-grade nascent core and swept towards him.
Even though he was an expert in controlling flames, and had seen countless strange flames in this space, he had never seen the terrifying power that these flames could unleash when combined!
"ah!!"
The young Emperor-grade Core Formation cultivator cried out in pain as flames engulfed his body in an instant.
Green blood gushed out, and a rich, sweet fragrance emanated from it.
"You actually managed to fuse different flames!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with terror.
Xu Qi'an looked up at the sky with a sharp gaze, his hand tightly gripping the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
The cultivation level of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill has already surpassed that of a nine-star Dou Sheng, but has not yet stepped into the Dou Di level!
Twenty Buddha's Wrathful Flame Lotuses are enough to show this Emperor Pill true terror.
As the flames subsided, he discovered that the figure in the sky was covered in blood, with disheveled hair, and no longer possessed the composure he had before.
At this moment, the Emperor-grade nascent core was weak and listless, but its eyes were fixed on Xu Qi'an below.
"You brat!!"
He gritted his teeth, his hands tumbling, and suddenly a rich fragrance of elixir wafted through the air.
A strange fragrance wafted over, and Xu Qi'an felt as if the fighting spirit within his body was about to ignite.
Before he could even make a move, the purplish-black Void Devouring Flame on his shoulder opened its mouth and inhaled all the fragrant pills into its belly.
"Hiccup~"
The little purplish-black flame figure patted its belly and revealed a satisfied smile.
Xu Qi'an gave a mocking laugh, "If these are all the tricks you know, then it all ends here!"
He reached out and tossed the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand to the Void Devouring Flame on his shoulder.
The little fire spirit grabbed the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence shimmering with black flames, which landed on the ancient jade.
His fiery little hands suddenly transformed into a series of extremely strange hand seals.
Seeing the Void Devouring Flame's movements, the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator was terrified and looked down sharply. He saw that the ancient emperor statue, which was ten thousand feet tall, had the same hand seals as the Void Devouring Flame!
"Buzz!!"
As the Void Devouring Flame Hand Seal rapidly changed, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in front of him suddenly began to tremble with a buzzing sound.
Immediately afterwards, a soft radiance rippled outwards, and as the ancient jade trembled, it transformed into a halo displaying brilliant colors!
The aperture displays multiple colors, and on it, it appears as if flames are dancing, creating an extremely mysterious effect.
"The Core Formation Ring!! How could you possibly possess the Core Formation Divine Technique of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?!"
Upon seeing the halo take shape, the once icy-faced Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator's expression suddenly changed, and his voice became somewhat stern.
The Void Devouring Flame had lost its original sentience, so it naturally wouldn't answer the question about the Emperor-grade embryonic pill.
Under Xu Qi'an's instruction, he flicked his hand, and the dazzling halo shot out, appearing above the head of the Emperor-grade embryonic core in a short moment.
A series of dazzling rings of fire appeared, completely enveloping the figure of the Emperor-grade embryonic core.
"ah!!"
As these fiery halos enveloped him, the nascent Emperor-grade Core Formation cultivator screamed madly, wisps of white smoke drifting from his body.
Within the halo, the body of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill began to slowly undergo changes.
The Emperor-grade embryonic core, whose foundation had been damaged by the accumulated fire lotus, was now completely powerless to fight back.
In addition, the Core Transformation Ring was originally created by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, specifically to counter the combat skills of these Core Spirits.
As time passed, the screams of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill within the halo grew weaker and weaker. Finally, a fist-sized pill, imbued with various divine charms, appeared within the halo.
Xu Qi'an raised his hand and caught the pill in his hand.
"Unfortunately, this elixir was ultimately not perfect."
He took a bite of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, and the rich medicinal aroma instantly filled his mouth. Then, a surge of energy erupted within his body.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the entire Emperor-grade embryonic pill in a few bites, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to refine the terrifying energy within his body!
"Buzz!!"
A terrifying aura erupted from him, causing the strange fires throughout the entire strange fire space to tremble and shake.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Qi'an summoned all the strange flames that had real forms on those strange flame stone pillars into his palm, and then stuffed them into his body to forcibly refine them!
The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, Yin-Yang Twin Flames, Netherworld Poison Fire, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Fire Cloud Water Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flames, Nine Dragon Thunderfire, Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, and Nine Nether Wind Flame—nine kinds of strange flames—are simultaneously being refined with the help of the terrifying energy of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill!
Boundless flames emanated from Xu Qi'an, engulfing the entire space except for the area surrounding the statue of Emperor Tuoshe.
A terrifying aura gradually emanated from him.
After a long time, the flames poured back and contracted entirely into his body.
Xu Qi'an quietly opened his eyes, and countless flames of different colors instantly flickered within them.
Feeling the surging energy within him, he clenched his fist. "Without Origin Qi, I ultimately failed to reach the Dou Di realm!"
"It seems that the essence of this Emperor's Dao cannot be saved."
He looked up, his gaze fixed on the ancient statue of Emperor Tuoshe before him. As if given a command, the Void Devouring Flame on his shoulder transformed into a beam of fire, shooting towards the heart of the statue.
"Buzz!!"
As the beam of light struck, strange ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the towering stone statue, as if concentric circles of waves were spreading outwards.
The stone statue began to tremble, and then a cracking sound was heard as the statue twisted, and a hole appeared in its chest.
Suddenly, a soft light spread out from the stone cave and enveloped Xu Qi'an's body.
Xu Qi'an's expression shifted, and he took a step forward, appearing at the chest of the stone statue. Then he stepped into the stone cave.
The scene before them suddenly changed, and a sea of strange fire appeared.
With a casual grab, a strange flame appeared in his palm.
"Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame..."
"It seems you're quite popular with these flames."
As Xu Qi'an murmured, a fiery flower quietly bloomed in the distance, and an old figure slowly walked out from it.
He looked at the old man whose face was exactly the same as the towering stone statue outside, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Tathagata..."
……
Within the blessed land of the fox spirit, Ye Ming sat suspended in mid-air, before whom a milky-white ball of light shimmered with dazzling brilliance.
Just then, he slightly raised his hand and opened the spatial portal to the Fox Fairy Blessed Land.
Lin Dong, Long Aotian, Chen Ping'an, and Ye Gucheng, each imprisoning several alien races, walked in.
Lin Dong threw the snake-headed, human-bodied alien creature on the ground, looked at Ye Ming who was refining immortal Gu, and said:
"The alien races in this region of Central Continent have been wiped out. Apart from these ten, there are twelve left in other areas."
"According to the information extracted from these alien races, there are less than twenty humans left on the human side."
Although Ye Ming's several clones were frantically killing alien races during this period.
However, the number of human experts who entered this instance world from the main world is still far too few compared to the three thousand alien races.
Moreover, it's possible that a certain alien race, after killing the opponent, gained some kind of incredible buff, greatly increasing its speed in killing the human race!
Hearing Lin Dong's clone's words, Ye Ming continued working and said calmly, "Xu Qi'an still needs some time to inherit the ancient emperor's legacy. During this time, this instance cannot be closed prematurely."
"Go and capture ten humans as soon as possible, so that you can take control of opening and closing this instance."
The several clones showed no surprise upon hearing Ye Ming's indifferent words.
If a faction has fewer than ten members in this instance, the instance world will be forcibly closed.
For Ye Ming, he had the full capability to protect the human race entering this main world during this period of time.
But he didn't do that.
All he wanted was to improve his own strength.
What do he care about the lives or deaths of others?
Seeing Lin Dong and the others nod, Ye Ming reached out and tossed the Human-like Immortal Gu to Chen Ping'an.
"I won't be staying in this world for very long. When you find the rest of you, you can also go and seek out the opportunities in this world yourselves."
Lin Dong and the others nodded, and then stepped out of the Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
Ye Ming casually closed the gate to the Fox Immortal Paradise and looked at Wang Lin's clone, who was preparing Gu ingredients, and said:
"When you reach the next world, you can practice a new cultivation system."
Wang Lin's clone nodded and continued to cooperate with Ye Ming in refining the Immortal Gu.
the other side,
After leaving the Fox Fairy Blessed Land, Ye Gucheng said to the others, "There are still some good things left in the Soul Clan. I'll go there!"
"There are three people in that direction, I'll take care of them!"
Ye Gucheng cupped his hands in greeting, and the evil power tore through space before he stepped inside.
Long Aotian looked at Lin Dong, "I'm going in the direction of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void. There are two people there; leave them to me!"
"By the way, would you like the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit?"
Lin shook his head. "That thing is more suitable for you. Just go get it yourself!"
Long Aotian smiled, transformed into a hundred-foot-long black dragon, and suddenly plunged into the spatial passage.
Lin Dong looked at Chen Ping'an in front of him, walked up, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Can you help me out a bit? There are still five people left, why don't you catch a few more?"
Chen Ping'an nodded, and without even asking why, he smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go to the Southern Region; I should be able to find a lot of Gu materials there."
Lin Dong chuckled and patted Chen Ping'an on the shoulder, "That's a good friend. When you're undergoing your tribulation, just call me and I'll protect you!"
"Thank you!" Chen Ping'an bowed respectfully to Lin Dong.
Lin shook his head. "We're all on the same side, why talk about this!"
Chen Ping'an smiled, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart. He looked at Lin Dong and asked, "If you're not going to complete the main body's mission, what do you want to do?"
Lin Dong rubbed his chin and said, "It's been almost three years. I need to go see a movie."
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly. He waved his hand and walked towards the Southern Region.
After everyone left, Lin Dong did not linger. His body was enveloped in silver light, and he activated the power of the Space Ancestral Symbol, quietly merging into the space.
Through numerous killings, his acting skills have grown rapidly. Of the eight ancestral symbols, he now controls seven!
……
The Gama Empire is a very magical place.
It is a country of moderate size among the northwestern powers, yet it has managed to allow the Xiao clan, an ancient family, to settle in the small city of Wutan within the empire.
Within this empire, the Yunlan Sect is undoubtedly a formidable force!
Even the Gama royal family is extremely wary of the Yunlan Sect.
The Yunlan Sect was established on Yunlan Mountain, which is only a few dozen miles away from the capital of the Jiama Empire.
Between the two, they are like two enormous creatures facing each other.
On the main road leading to Yunlan Mountain, a handsome young man in a black robe, carrying a giant ruler, looked up at the snow-white mountain peak that pierced the clouds, his eyes filled with emotion.
Although he had waited three years for this day, he did not use his battle qi to transform into wings. Instead, he walked slowly and steadily toward the summit.
"Teacher, do you think Brother Lin Dong will come?" The boy in the black robe asked to himself as he walked.
"That boy..." The old doctor fell silent for a moment.
Three years is enough time to change a lot of things.
He had originally thought highly of that young man, but apart from his brief moment of brilliance, there had been no further news of him in the entire Jiama Empire for the past three years.
For such a genius, in three years, besides becoming famous, there is only one possibility... that is to fall from grace.
The old apothecary shook his head and murmured, "Perhaps!"
He suddenly shouted, "That brat! He said he'd find me a Dou Zun body if I raised your cultivation to Dou Wang!"
"Now that you're a Dou Huang, you still don't know where that kid has disappeared to!"
"If he doesn't find me a body fit for a nine-star Dou Zun, I'll definitely fight him!"
Xiao Yan smiled. "Teacher, don't worry, Brother Lin Dong said he'll definitely come!"
Just then, he arrived at the foot of Yunlan Mountain.
He looked up, gazing at the ancient stone steps that had stood for countless years. His eyes slowly closed, and faintly, a delicate sword-like sound seemed to echo down from the end of the steps, reverberating quietly through the mountains and forests like the chime of a bell.
After a long silence, Xiao Yan opened his eyes, patted the Xuan Heavy Ruler on his back, and finally landed firmly on the slightly damp ancient stone steps.
At this moment... the three-year agreement has officially come to an end! (End of Chapter)
