While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 373 Finale

Chen Xiao's naming skills remained consistently excellent, and no one in the hall was surprised when he announced the results.

However, they could all sense that Chen Xiao still held high hopes for his eldest son.

After all, Xiao and Xiao are so similar, no one would believe that Chen Xiao chose the name at random.

"I'll send a message to my father-in-law later so he can be at ease. If he wants to come and visit the children, he can have someone escort him."

Xun'er nodded with a smile.

For the next month, Chen Xiao stayed on Dragon Island, spending time with Xun'er and the other girls, teaching his two daughters and disciples, until Chen Xiao turned one month old, at which point he shifted his focus back to his closed-door cultivation breakthrough.

"This time I will go all out and not leave seclusion until I become an emperor! So the seclusion period will be a little longer."

Before the secret room, Chen Xiao chuckled and spoke to the women.

After giving them a brief explanation, Chen Xiao returned Chen Xiao to Xun'er, then patted his eldest and second daughters' heads before resolutely stepping into the secret room.

With a loud crash, the heavy stone door slammed shut.

Witnessing this scene, everyone's smiles faded.

Even his two usually rebellious daughters looked slightly serious.

"Dou Di - They say that when one person becomes an emperor, the whole clan ascends to heaven. Father, you must succeed as soon as possible. Whether we can become saints on the spot depends on you."

""

The clouds in the sky resemble white robes, but in an instant they transform into greyhounds.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half has passed.

On Dragon Island, the cycle of growth and decay of plants has come full circle. Chen Xiao, who was once an infant crying for food, can now stumble along with his two older sisters and senior sister.

Humans and many animals are actually quite similar in some ways; they are most adorable and endearing when they are young.

The little guy's features resemble Chen Xiao's, but when he smiles, he has a touch of Xun'er's gentleness, with a delicate and exquisite appearance.

Throughout Dragon Island, whether it was the people from Zixiao Pavilion and the Ancient Dragon Clan, or the powerful figures and alchemists from Central Continent who were temporarily residing there, everyone who saw him couldn't help but smile.

Chen Yao and Chen Xi have also grown another year older, shedding some of their childishness. In addition to their daily cultivation and play, they seem to have found a new source of joy: they often stay outside the tightly closed secret room with their senior sisters Qing Huan and Xing Yao.

The heavy stone door had never been opened since Chen Xiao stepped in, and not even a trace of its aura had leaked out. Only the ancient patterns engraved on the stone door shimmered with a faint halo day after day, indicating that the person inside was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation.

Xun'er and the other girls often came to the secret chamber. When there were other people around, they were able to hide their emotions well. But when they were alone, they would often gently stroke the cold stone wall with their fingertips, their eyes filled with expectation and a little bit of longing.

Zhongzhou.

The war between the Soul Clan and the three ancient clans of Thunderflame was far more brutal than anyone could have imagined.

The battle at the Burial Sky Mountains had long deviated from everyone's expectations, turning into a complete massacre.

In less than two years, the number of Dou Sheng powerhouses that the four clans were once proud of has dwindled to less than one-tenth!

Looking across the entire battlefield, each side had only a handful of leaders left, their eyes already bloodshot from the fighting, barely managing to support the remnants of their respective tribes, making it difficult to organize any decent large-scale battles.

The culprit behind this tragic situation is none other than Xiao Chen, who broke out of the Heavenly Tomb!

Having inherited the bloodline power of the Xiao clan in the Heavenly Tomb and undergone much training from Xiao Xuan, Xiao Chen, upon returning to Zhongzhou, can be described as having undergone a complete transformation, with his cultivation level skyrocketing to the mid-stage of a six-star Dou Sheng!

Its combat strength is so great that few of its peers can match it.

Most importantly, the blood feud of the Xiao clan's annihilation had already left an indelible mark on his heart, and this hatred made Xiao Chen's killing intent towards the Soul Clan extremely intense.

Therefore, as soon as he emerged from the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Chen transformed into a streak of crimson light and brazenly joined the battlefield, completely disregarding the so-called battlefield rules and the dignity of the strong.

Even when others fight, they will choose opponents of similar strength, as the saying goes, soldier against soldier, general against general.

But Xiao Chen refused!

He carried those terrifying blood axes and targeted only the low-level Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan. He even killed Dou Zun experts without hesitation.

Those low-level Dou Sheng and Dou Zun powerhouses of the Soul Clan originally thought their opponents would be people of similar strength, but they never expected to encounter a fearless god like Xiao Chen who didn't care about saving face.

Faced with such a terrifying disparity in strength, all resistance was futile. Xiao Chen's casual punches and axe strikes instantly killed his opponents with energy, even shattering the very souls of those Soul Clan experts into nothingness, leaving them no chance to escape.

In just half a month, more than ten low-level Soul Clan Battle Saints died at Xiao Chen's hands!

Such losses are equivalent to the efforts of the three ancient clans, Gu Lei Yan, and Gu Lei Yan, over several months!

It was Xiao Chen's almost insane slaughter that directly shattered the fragile balance that the four races had maintained for so long.

Even the Soul Emperor, with his astonishing temperament, was enraged and tacitly allowed his powerful subordinates to completely abandon the so-called fair duel.

For a time, the Soul Clan's Battle Saint powerhouses no longer focused on fighting the top powerhouses of the Ancient, Thunder, and Flame Clans. Instead, they extended their sinister claws to the weaker members of the three clans and the small world with its extremely weak defenses.

They stop at nothing, only to kill and deplete the enemy's manpower!

In this way, the once isolated, peaceful and tranquil Ancient Realm, Thunder Realm, and Flame Realm instantly became a living hell. Even though the powerful members of the three races reacted quickly each time, they still could not prevent their people in the small world from being slaughtered in a frenzy.

Such devastating casualties ignited the fighting spirit of the three races and completely erased the last shred of decency on the battlefield.

From then on, no one could get involved in this war except for the battlefield between the Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan. In other battles, there was no fair duel. Both sides were bloodthirsty and no longer sought any tactics or methods. Their only goal was to kill as many of the other's lives as possible!

The corpses piled up like mountains in the Burial Sky Mountain Range, and the blood energy soared into the sky, making the fighting energy flowing in this world thick and foul, turning it into a boundless Asura Purgatory.

"Having fought to this point, these ancient races are completely finished. Even if the war ends now, they will never recover."

"The Soul Clan is truly terrifying. In less than two years, they have already lost more than sixty Dou Sheng powerhouses. If this war hadn't broken out, who would have thought they were hiding so deeply? The number of their powerhouses is almost equal to the total number of the three clans combined!"

"The only good news for the Soul Clan is that the Soul Realm has not yet been slaughtered by the three powerful clans and Xiao Chen. If the war ends sooner and a few thousand years pass, there may still be a chance for recovery."

"In comparison, the Ancient Clan, Thunder Clan, and Flame Clan have almost exhausted their resources. The Ancient Clan is slightly better off. The Soul Clan's powerful members have attacked the Ancient Realm several times, but the response has been quick, and at least half of their descendants and clansmen have been preserved. However, it is hard to say whether the Thunder and Flame Clans have even one-tenth of their clansmen left."

In the void surrounding the Burial Sky Mountains, many hidden powerhouses frequently communicated telepathically, sighing with emotion.

Now, they can all foresee that when the war between the four races ends, the Dou Qi Continent will usher in a completely new era!

For these sectarian factions, this is definitely a great thing to celebrate.

Such colossal beings as ancient races are naturally best kept to a minimum.

Only in this way will they have a greater chance of seizing the opportunity when it comes again.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this reshuffling of the mainland's political landscape is something countless people have been longing for!

It's just that they didn't dare to express their true feelings in the past.

Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, on what was a sunny afternoon, suddenly, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to be stirred up by an invisible hand, stirring up towering waves.

The fluctuation came unexpectedly, initially like a gentle breeze, but in an instant, it transformed into an energy whirlwind that swept across the entire Central Continent.

Above the sky, the clouds churned wildly, instantly dispersed by the overwhelming energy surge. The pure energy that was everywhere in the world seemed to have found an outlet, frantically converging towards the beast domain, forming huge energy pillars that stretched across the sky.

Burial Sky Mountain Range.

Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, Lei Ying, Yan Jin and other powerful figures appeared in the void at almost the same time, feeling the rapidly surging energy of heaven and earth, and released their soul perception to sense it.

Soon, their faces were filled with horror.

"This energy storm swept across the entire Central Continent. What exactly happened in the Beast Domain?" Lei Ying murmured, his eyes wide.

Even with his soul perception, he couldn't sense the beast domain in the southern part of Zhongzhou from the Burial Sky Mountains. This almost spanned the entire Zhongzhou, and it was impossible for anyone without an Emperor-level soul to do so.

There were two people present who possessed the soul of an Emperor Realm expert.

However, at this moment, the faces of Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan were also filled with solemnity and seriousness.

In their perception, a void passage over ten thousand feet long had appeared in the sky above the Beast Domain!

The void passage connected to the dark void space, and all the energy of heaven and earth of the entire continent was now pouring into that passage frantically. Layer upon layer of energy tides rushed forward, reaching a level that made even the Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan feel lingering fear.

"The void space... could it be Dragon Island?"

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Yuan quickly came to his senses, raised his hand and tore open a spatial passage leading directly to the void, and stepped into it without hesitation.

Seeing this, the Soul Emperor, with a sullen face, followed suit and vanished into the world in an instant.

Lei Ying and Yan Jin exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

Upon seeing their actions, figures like Fire Spirit Fairy, Black Annihilation King, and other powerful figures from various sects hidden in the void quickly followed suit.

.——

Soul world.

Bodhi sensed something, took a step into the sky, closed his eyes slightly to carefully sense it, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a smile on his face.

"It's much faster than I expected!"

With a soft whisper, Bodhi no longer hesitated. He reached out and beckoned, and the carefully tended sapling in the courtyard below instantly transformed into a stream of light, merging into his body.

Immediately, Bodhi's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

He came to the Soul Realm to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and restore his strength.

And Chen Xiao, having reached that realm, will definitely be able to help him recover faster.

So, it's time to move to a new place!

.

On Dragon Island.

A deafening roar echoed from the void, startling all the powerful figures who looked up at the void.

Immediately, a vast ocean of celestial energy surged forth from all directions, eventually converging above Dragon Island.

The immense energy, so dense it was almost tangible, condensed above the Dragon Island barrier, intertwining and converging into a gigantic pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth. It crashed down, enveloping the entire mountain range of Chen Xiao's secret chamber. Even the surrounding void was slightly compressed by this powerful force, causing ripples to spread.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

One after another, figures soared into the sky, their faces displaying various expressions.

Most of them were completely baffled, but they could still guess that this commotion was probably related to the Pavilion Master, whom they could no longer fathom!

Meanwhile, the six girls, Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Cao Ying, Xun Er, and Zi Yan, were overjoyed. They exchanged glances and all thought of the same answer.

Immediately, they all turned to look at the three siblings behind them.

At that moment, they suddenly felt that the three siblings, who were originally far weaker than them, were simultaneously unleashing an extremely terrifying power!

This power surpassed them all in the blink of an eye, reaching a level that even Zi Yan and Cao Ying could not match!

Dou Zun!

Fighting Saint!

One star, two stars, three stars—

Eight stars!

The final level is set at the early stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

"It's the power of bloodline! The Dou Di bloodline within them has been activated! Chen Xiao has successfully advanced!"

Zhu Hong, who was originally the strongest, was also surprised when he sensed the sudden surge in the strength of the three siblings, and then his face showed a look of wild joy.

After all, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void had long been bound to Chen Xiao, sharing both glory and ruin!

Now that Chen Xiao has broken through, doesn't that mean he will be able to welcome the old Dragon Emperor back very soon?

Upon hearing Zhu Hong's words, everyone on Dragon Island widened their eyes in astonishment.

"Could it be... a Dou Di—"

Zhu Hong's words were not difficult to understand, but this fact was hard for many people to believe.

No one expected that they would have such an opportunity to witness the birth of a Dou Di powerhouse!

The fact that something they never dared to imagine was happening before their eyes made them wonder if they had fallen into some kind of illusion.

Jiu Xuan, Qing Huan, Xing Yao, and the others also knew what Chen Xiao was doing, but at this moment, none of them had the intention to explain things to the confused group.

They held their heads high, gazing as the endless energy gathered above Dragon Island poured into the mountain peak.

The next moment, the void trembled suddenly, and a towering figure, tens of thousands of feet tall, slowly appeared in the dazzling light.

The mysterious light surrounding him surged like moonlight, instantly washing away the deep darkness of the void!

The ice was crowning him, its radiance dazzling, like a galaxy of stars!

At the same time, a pressure that seemed to transcend the laws of heaven and earth silently swept across the entire Dragon Island!
