All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

The Soul Emperor's expression changed drastically, a chill running down his spine. He too had seen the mysterious aura flowing around the young man.

He couldn't see through the young man's cultivation level! He couldn't fathom it either!
Given the arrogance of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, there is only one possibility that the Taixu Dragon Emperor, a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, could be trampled underfoot—a Dou Di!

They've been plotting to pass on the Dou Di throne for so many years, only to have someone else reap the rewards in the end!

Damn it!

"I don't agree!"

The Soul Emperor's eyes were bloodshot.
"Since I, the Soul Emperor, became the patriarch of the Soul Clan, I have devoted myself to countless schemes and plans, all for the purpose of breaking through to the Dou Di realm and achieving the highest level!"

"But an unknown person stole the peach!"

"I will not allow such a person to exist on the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Soul Clan, heed my command!"

The Soul Emperor's voice was hoarse, carrying a deep sense of desperation.

"Set up the formation!"

With his decisiveness, ruthlessness, and ruthless nature, the Soul Emperor instantly realized that this was his last chance.

Only by taking advantage of the fact that the young man opposite has just obtained the inheritance of the ancient emperor, and has only just broken through to the Dou Di realm, or has not yet fully broken through to the Dou Di realm, and by doing everything in our power to keep him here, can we have a chance to regain the inheritance of the ancient emperor!

Otherwise, given the difference between a Dou Sheng and a Dou Di, Hun Tian Di would never have a chance to rise to prominence!

As the chilling voice fell, the Soul Emperor waved his hand, and a dazzling blood-red light shot down, finally piercing directly into the earth. Then, countless blood-red rays spread out like lightning from the spot where it landed, those blood lines just like the bloodline of the Dou Qi Continent!
Zhu Kun transformed into human form and followed behind Wang Gan, his expression becoming solemn.

"Be careful! This is likely the Soul Clan's Emperor-Slaying Formation, created by the Soul Clan's first Dou Di. It is said to have slain a Dou Di powerhouse in ancient times!"

Zhu Kun, being knowledgeable and experienced, recognized this as the Soul Clan's trump card formation, a formation powerful enough to annihilate a Dou Di!
"Our Soul Clan has planned for a thousand years; we have a solution for even the worst-case scenario!"

"Even if someone succeeds in reaching the Dou Di realm, they will still perish today!"

The Soul Emperor's face darkened as he stared intently at the figure opposite him.
Wang Gan remained calm, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"It's just a mere Blood Burning Secret Technique, using countless living beings as fuel to gain temporary extraordinary power."

"Not presentable"

Of all the techniques Wang Gan had ever seen, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in the world of Shrouding the Heavens was even more profound, as was the Path to Immortality forged by the Emperor, which refined all living beings—it was far more extraordinary.

"Give me your name."

"It can destroy my thousand-year plan in an instant, forcing me to sacrifice my people and gamble everything."

"You've become someone important!"

The Soul Emperor smiled arrogantly, and a rushing sound of water rose up. Blood, like a tidal wave, gushed out from the spatial rift and finally flowed into the Soul Emperor's hand, forming a giant blade ten thousand feet long!
"I instigated this battle with the blood of millions of my descendants. Your ability to perish in this formation is not in vain."

"So what if you just came out of the Ancient Emperor's Cave and just broke through to the Dou Di realm? My Soul Clan's Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade has truly slain a Dou Di powerhouse before!"

Zhu Kun's expression turned solemn. He sensed a life-or-death crisis emanating from the blood-stained blade, and his hair stood on end.

Although it is not yet fully formed, this Emperor-Slaying Blade is already capable of easily killing any Dou Sheng powerhouse!
Wang Gan sighed.

They say villains die from talking too much.

You really talk too much.

After saying that, Wang Gan pointed out a finger, and a dazzling light shone out, forming a divine figure behind him that was surrounded by a true dragon and supported by a blue lotus.
His figure stood tall between heaven and earth, obscuring the entire sky. Under such a terrifying visual impact, no one had any doubt that the young man opposite them had already reached the Dou Di realm!

"So what if you're a Dou Di?!" "Clan members, heed my command!"

The Soul Emperor raised the Emperor-Slaying Demon Blood Blade high, about to have his family members sacrifice their life essence to break through to a higher level of power.

Before he could even speak, a ray of Yin-Yang divine light fell and was condensed into a huge, transparent blood blade filled with endless bloody smell. It was easily washed away, and the Soul Emperor's own physical body was directly turned into dust and disappeared into the world.

Wang Gan remained calm, but his eyes held a hint of mockery.
Who says you have to wait until the enemy's ultimate ability is fully charged before you can engage in an auto-attack?

"But it must be said that the Soul Emperor was indeed a powerful and ruthless figure."

In the original novel, Soul Emperor became an emperor earlier than Xiao Yan. He plotted for a thousand years, using any means necessary, and remained steadfast in his goals. In the end, he successfully obtained the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. He was a true hero, leaving no stone unturned. In comparison, Xiao Yan relied more on the protagonist's halo.

Even when facing a desperate Dou Di figure like Wang Gan, they still have ways to turn the tide.

If it weren't for encountering an extraordinary being like Wang Gan, who hadn't broken through to the Dou Di level but whose combat power was still above that of a Dou Di, then a regular Dou Di who had just broken through might have actually had a chance to help Hun Tiandi succeed.

"It's just a pity that I'm now among the top-tier powerhouses..."

"Having stepped into the forbidden realm of the gods, he is now capable of fighting against even a Dao-Slaying King!"

"The so-called Dou Di is nothing more than a half-step Dao-slaying level in terms of combat strength and cultivation."

Wang Gan smiled confidently, looked at the remaining Soul Clan members around him, and in a flash, the Chaotic Holy Light transformed into a divine sword. Those Soul Clan powerhouses who had rushed out had their heads detached from their bodies, blood gushing out as their bodies rapidly withered, and finally turned into powder and dissipated into the world.

These guys followed the Soul Emperor and committed all sorts of evil deeds. Since they ran into him, Wang Gan naturally had no reason to let them go.

"This"

Hidden in the void to the side, a middle-aged figure, around forty years old, dressed in linen clothes, stood beside Xiao Xun'er.

"Xun'er... are you sure he is Xiao Yan's master?"

Gu Yuan was shocked. He watched helplessly as his old rival was defeated and killed as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Even for a nine-star Dou Sheng like him, this was an extraordinary shock.

"This"

Xiao Xun'er hesitated, but seeing Wang Gan's expression, she nodded.
"I never expected that Master Xiao Yan's cultivation would improve so rapidly."

“I clearly remember that when he was in the Xiao Clan, he had not yet broken through to the Dou Sheng realm; at most, he was considered a Dou Zun.”

Gu Yuan took a deep breath; that would be even more incredible.

This person is clearly a super genius, not an old swindler like the Soul Emperor who has been plotting for years!
"A Dou Di!"

Gu Yuan's expression was complicated. He had also longed for this for thousands of years, but he never expected that a young man would break through his realm ahead of time.

Wang Gan's expression suddenly changed, and a giant chaotic hand surged in the void, directly capturing Gu Yuan and the other two from the void.

"Nine-Star Dou Sheng?"

Wang Gan seemed to recognize Gu Yuan's identity and looked at Xiao Xun'er beside him.
"This...senior"

"I meant no harm!"

Gu Yuan was caught in mid-air, his fighting spirit completely immobilized. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he feared he would suffer the same fate as the Soul Emperor.

"Xun'er!"

Xiao Yan was excited and quickly greeted his childhood sweetheart. (End of Chapter)
