Chapter 212: Welcoming the Dragon Emperor

Hun Tiandi took a step forward.

"You're quite sensible, which takes away a lot of fun, you know?" Hun Tiandi said casually.

[Author: "This is my line. Since the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame showed such sensibility, how can I meet my word count? Damn Purifying Demon Lotus Flame! You've got me there!"]

Purifying Demon Lotus Flame said, "It's not that I'm sensible, but that both of you are very powerful, so powerful that I can't even muster the slightest bit of resistance."

"So..."

"I don't want to struggle anymore!"

"Especially you, I sensed the aura of many Heavenly Flames from you. Even Void Devouring Flame couldn't escape the fate of being devoured by you."

"What can I use to escape then?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi finally understood where the problem lay and said, "You are indeed intelligent."

"Worthy of being the third-ranked flame on the Heavenly Flame List."

"Hmph..."

Purifying Demon Lotus Flame's lips curled, and it gave a cold smile. "Don't flatter me. To simultaneously possess so many Heavenly Flames without suffering backlash, you must have cultivated the Flame Mantra, right?"

Apart from the Flame Mantra, Purifying Demon Lotus Flame truly couldn't think of any other technique that would allow so many Heavenly Flames to coexist within a single entity without any backlash.

Throughout the entire continent of Dou Qi, only by cultivating the Flame Mantra and successfully mastering it could one achieve such an accomplishment!

"Yes!"

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly. "You're right. I indeed cultivated the Flame Mantra."

"It's your honor. You will become the twenty-second Flame that I devour!"

Saying that, Hun Tiandi extended a finger, pointing it at the center of Purifying Demon Lotus Flame's brow.

Purifying Demon Lotus Flame's body gradually turned into nothingness, disappearing entirely, leaving only a milk-white lotus flame.

This milk-white lotus flame was none other than the third-ranked Flame on the Heavenly Flame List, the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame!

Purifying Demon Lotus Flame slowly flew towards Hun Tiandi and was eventually grasped in his hand. 

Hun Tiandi looked at the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame in his palm and said indifferently, "This is the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame, a flame that many have dreamt of possessing." 

"And now, it's effortlessly caught in my hand like this. Gu Yuan, do you think I'm dreaming?"

Gu Yuan: "???" 

"Hun Tiandi, I beg you to act like a person, stop pretending. If you keep it up, I'm leaving."

"Then go!"

Hun Tiandi waved his hand!

The joy of life lies in showing off.

It's all about flaunting.

Without showing off!

Without flaunting!

What meaning is left in life?

"So, should I go?"

Gu Yuan turned around, preparing to leave.

Hun Tiandi swallowed the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame, and the Flame Mantra began to activate within his body, starting to refine the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame.

It only took a moment.

The Purifying Demon Lotus Flame had already been refined.

Hun Tiandi could clearly sense his advancement in strength.

The shackles loosened slightly.

A step.

Or more accurately, half a step.

Just half a step away, and he would break through to the Dou Di level.

How to take that half step?

Only the source energy was lacking.

If there was source energy…

Even a trace of it…

Hun Tiandi had enough confidence that he could break free from the restraints and become a Dou Di.

Hun Tiandi quickly caught up with Gu Yuan and said, "What's the point of walking alone? Let's go together."

...

The two of them left the Demon Flame Space.

After leaving the Demon Flame Space, the vast space exploded in that moment.

A huge mushroom cloud spread across the sky, sweeping over a vast area. Everything in the Demon Flame Space disappeared completely with the explosion.

...

Soul Clan-

Gu Clan-

Ten warships from each side, a total of twenty warships. The warships set off from the Central Continent and headed to the Great Northwest Territory.

Blackhorn Domain-

Jia Nan Academy-

The entire Qi Continent was under the control of the Soul Clan. With a single command from the Soul Clan, the cultivators of the Blackhorn Domain and Jia Nan Academy had all evacuated.

The warships hovered over Jia Nan Academy. Hun Tiandi stood at the bow of a ship, looking down at the empty Jia Nan Academy from a high vantage point.

Gu Yuan stood by his side and asked, "Is this the location of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's cave?"

"Yes!"

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly.

His gaze fell upon the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and then he flew out of the warship, standing in the void.

An overwhelming aura leaked out!

As if he were the master of heaven and earth, Hun Tiandi raised his hand, and the void turned chaotic!

A gigantic blood-colored palm print emerged from the chaotic void, containing terrifying power within its palm print.

Astonishing and earth-shaking!

Incredibly terrifying!

Hun Tiandi pressed his palm towards the ground, and the massive blood-colored palm print descended from the chaotic void, crashing down onto Jia Nan Academy.

Boom!

As the palm print landed, Jia Nan Academy, and even the entire Blackhorn Domain, sank entirely in that moment!

Countless magma surged out from the ground. In an instant, the entire Blackhorn Domain was covered by the magma!

It was fortunate that the Soul Clan had already evacuated the cultivators from the Blackhorn Domain and Jia Nan Academy. Otherwise... when the magma erupted, it would have become the burial ground for countless cultivators.

The magma boiled.

Continuously rising, all the vegetation and trees on the ground turned into ashes. Now, the entire Blackhorn Domain and Jia Nan Academy had become a sea of magma!

Hun Tiandi watched all of this expressionlessly, his body trembling slightly. After so many years, he had finally waited for this moment.

To say he wasn't excited?

Surely, it's fake!

If he isn't excited about this, is that even possible?

Under Hun Tiandi's control, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade flew out from his storage ring, hovering in the air. 

A terrifying aura emanated from the jade, spreading explosively enveloping the entire heaven and earth.

This aura overshadowed the one Hun Tiandi had just emitted, dominating the heavens and the earth.

With the emergence of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, within the magma, as if something had been summoned, a massive vortex began to form in the sea of magma.

The vortex grew larger.

Bigger and bigger!

A terrifying aura emanated from within the vortex. Although this aura wasn't as powerful as Hun Tiandi's aura, it was still incredibly strong and fearsome.

A pair of reddened eyes flickered with red light at the end of the vortex, shaking one's soul!

...

At this moment, the space here was torn apart, and Zi Yan, clad in purple battle armor, walked out of the void.

Behind Zi Yan, a formidable Dragon King Guard Legion emerged.

With around ten thousand Dragon King Guards.

Many elders of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan also followed.

Roar!

At the end of the vortex, a deafening roar echoed through the sky, causing many present to feel pain in their eardrums.

A massive figure flew out, exuding a terrifying aura, freely traversing the sky and void.

A thunderous roar echoed.

...

"Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak!"

Gu Yuan looked at the massive figure soaring through the sky and void, his pupils contracting as he murmured.

Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak!

This massive figure was at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!

Just as Gu Yuan was curious about the identity of this massive figure, the powerful members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan who had appeared fell to their knees one after another.

"We respectfully welcome the Dragon Emperor!"
