Chapter 214: The Inheritance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor

Hun Tiandi accepted the Emperor-Grade Pill and looked at the enormous statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor in the hall.

Hun Tiandi understood that the path of breakthrough to Dou Di was embodied in the stone statue.

However, Gu Yuan was unaware of all this!

In Gu Yuan's view, the greatest treasure within the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave was the Emperor-Grade Pill that Hun Tiandi had already obtained.

Gu Yuan patted Hun Tiandi's shoulder and said, "Hun Tiandi, what are you daydreaming about? You have the Emperor-Grade Pill now, so let's leave! Breaking through to Dou Di is the priority!"

With the Emperor-Grade Pill now in hand, the next step for Hun Tiandi was to use it to break through to Dou Di.

Daydreaming?

Now was not the time for daydreaming.

After breaking through to Dou Di, he could daydream all he wants!

...

Hun Tiandi continued to gaze at the massive statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor and said, "Leave? The greatest treasure within the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave is right here before us. You want me to leave?"

"Hmm?" Gu Yuan was puzzled.

"Shouldn't the greatest treasure within the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave be the Emperor-Grade Pill?"

Zhu Kun stepped forward and said, "Indeed, the Emperor-Grade Pill is the greatest treasure within the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave, but it can't be compared to the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor right before us."

"Hmm?" Gu Yuan looked at Zhu Kun.

After a moment of contemplation, he realized: Did Hun Tiandi and Zhu Kun know everything while he knew nothing?

Zhu Kun continued, "The statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor before us is no ordinary statue."

"What's different about it?" Gu Yuan asked.

Zhu Kun explained, "The statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor contains the inheritance left behind by the Tuo She Ancient Emperor himself."

"By obtaining the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's inheritance, one can become a Dou Di."

"What?" Gu Yuan was shocked to hear this, not expecting that the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor held such a secret. 

No wonder Hun Tiandi hesitated to leave after obtaining the Emperor-Grade Pill. If Gu Yuan had known, he would have been equally reluctant to leave.

Gu Yuan stepped forward and declared, "Hun Tiandi, since you already have the Emperor-Grade Pill, then please give me the chance to inherit the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's legacy!"

"Hmm?"

"Do you want it?" Hun Tiandi turned his head to look at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan rolled his eyes at Hun Tiandi and said, "Of course! This is the inheritance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor, a chance to become a Dou Di. Why wouldn't I want it?"

"Oh!"

Stepping back half a step, Hun Tiandi looked at Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, saying, "Please proceed. If the Tuo She Ancient Emperor chooses you…"

"I have no problem!"

"Just waiting for you to say that."

Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Gu Yuan couldn't contain his excitement and immediately approached the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor to explore.

The resources to become a Dou Di were right in front of him, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity!

Zhu Kun remained calm and unhurried as he walked forward, placing his hand on the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor. He gathered his Dou Qi in his palm.

Then, an explosion occurred.

Boom!

The entire hall trembled violently, but... the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor showed no signs of damage!

"This... Such a hard stone!" Zhu Kun exclaimed.

In his view, the chance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's inheritance was within the statue. To obtain this opportunity, what better way than to break open the statue?

However, when a tremendous force struck the statue, it remained completely intact, astonishing Zhu Kun.

"This..."

Gu Yuan also murmured, "Isn't this a bit too hard?"

Gu Yuan looked at Zhu Kun.

Shortly after, the two of them seemed to reach a consensus and stepped back, aligning themselves on the same line.

They were preparing to join forces.

Boom!

With their combined effort, they struck together, causing a massive shock that nearly caused the entire hall to collapse.

However...

As the terrifying shockwaves subsided, they realized that the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor remained completely unaffected.

This statue was unbelievably tough.

...

Gu Yuan sighed, "It's way too hard!"

At this moment, Hun Tiandi walked forward and said, "It seems that neither of you have the fate to inherit the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's legacy."

Gu Yuan retorted defiantly, "Don't act superior. We indeed cannot break open the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor."

"Believe me, even if you tried, you wouldn't be able to break it either!"

Hun Tiandi responded, "To obtain the inheritance left behind by the Tuo She Ancient Emperor, it's not necessary to break the statue."

"You just need to meet a certain condition!"

"Hmm?"

"It seems like you know something," Zhu Kun interjected, seeking more information.

Hun Tiandi replied, "I know a bit!"

"So, what's the condition to obtain the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's inheritance?" Gu Yuan inquired.

Hun Tiandi said, "It's a simple matter. You just need to have the right fate."

"???"

"???"

Hun Tiandi's words seemed like he had said everything, yet also said nothing.

...

Gu Yuan said, "Hun Tiandi, are you implying that we're not the chosen ones, but you are?"

"Hmm!"

Hun Tiandi didn't hold back and continued, "I think I might be."

"You? Think?" Gu Yuan responded, not caring at all about what Hun Tiandi thought and directly pouring cold water on his claim.

"What good is your thinking? Can thinking make you the chosen one?"

Honestly speaking, Gu Yuan couldn't care less about Hun Tiandi's pretentious demeanor; he just wanted to wake him up with a good splash of reality.

...

Hun Tiandi paid no attention to Gu Yuan.

Slowly, Hun Tiandi walked toward the statue of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor. 

As he moved, flames of different colors began to rise from his body, starting from the weakest ones... one type of Heavenly Flame after another...

"Damn..."

Zhu Kun saw the various flames rising from Hun Tiandi's body, his eyes widening in disbelief, and he couldn't help but curse.

When the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame and the Void Devouring Flame appeared, the shock on Zhu Kun's face grew even stronger.

Twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames!

Hun Tiandi had refined twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames!

After the Tuo She Ancient Emperor, another person had managed to refine twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames. 

Seeing the twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames rising around Hun Tiandi, Zhu Kun suddenly realized something.

Both were at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. Why did Hun Tiandi suddenly become unfathomable?

Twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames merged into one!

Could Hun Tiandi not be unfathomable with such power?

Originally, Zhu Kun had doubts about whether Hun Tiandi could obtain the inheritance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor. 

But, upon seeing the twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames surrounding Hun Tiandi's body, he understood.

In the world of the Dou Qi Continent, there was no one more suited to receive the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's inheritance than Hun Tiandi. If even Hun Tiandi couldn't receive it, then who else could?

Onward, Hun Tiandi advanced with the aid of the Heavenly Flames. With each step he took, flames emerged under his feet, carrying him toward the heart of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's statue.

Crash!

As Hun Tiandi approached the statue's heart, a strange phenomenon occurred. 

The heart emitted a colorful light, and a terrifying pressure emanated from the statue, surpassing the strength of a Dou Sheng and reigning supreme over the heavens and earth.

Bang!

This terrifying pressure directly forced Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun to kneel down.
