The Strange Flame Rekindles in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 522 The Miserable Battle Emperor

Seeing that all the members of the Soul Clan had been slaughtered, and that he himself was now surrounded, the Soul Emperor realized that he was now surrounded.

Even setting aside Xiao Yan, who has already become a Dou Di, he cannot defeat Xiao Xuan or Gu Yuan.

However, at this point, there's no going back, and the Soul Emperor won't regret it either.

"My plan has failed! This is destiny!" Soul Emperor roared, and then his body suddenly swelled up, choosing to self-destruct.

A peak nine-star Dou Sheng self-destructing is no joke; it could very well mean that everyone except Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan would die here.

However, with Xiao Yan present, there were clearly no problems. With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan captured the Soul Emperor in his palm and immediately refined him by the strange fire, even his soul was devoured.

When Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan saw that Soul Emperor had been killed by Xiao Yan, they were both saddened and felt a pang of emotion.

Although the Soul Emperor is dead, the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in his possession has ended up in Xiao Yan's hands.

"Let's go! I'll take you to open the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave, and then we'll divide up the things inside. That way, I'll have fulfilled my promise." Xiao Yan smiled, and a spatial passage appeared. He then went inside.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and Lei Ying immediately showed excited smiles. Xiao Yan had already broken through to the Dou Di level, so even if Xiao Yan didn't give them anything, they wouldn't dare to say anything.

After the three of them entered the spatial passage, Xiao Xuan also wanted to see what the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave was like, so he went along as well.

After exiting the spatial passage, Gu Yuan and his companions found themselves in the Northwest Continent. Looking at the somewhat familiar scene below, Gu Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily. It was here that he had almost killed Xiao Yan.

However, Gu Yuan dared not show it. Now that Xiao Yan had broken through to the Dou Di realm, it wouldn't be good if Xiao Yan held a grudge.

Xiao Yan naturally thought of what happened back then, but he could understand Gu Yuan, so he wouldn't seek revenge.

Xiao Yan simply reached out his hand, and the magma below surged up, creating a huge vortex.

The vortex spun rapidly before parting to both sides, revealing an ancient stone gate standing between heaven and earth.

"Is this the cave of Emperor Tuoshe?" Gu Yuan and the other three exchanged glances, never expecting that this cave, which had been hidden for tens of thousands of years, would reappear in the world.

"Hahaha! I, the Emperor, have finally seen the light of day again!" With a roar, an enormous purple-gold dragon flew out of the lava.

"Old Dragon Emperor, calm down!" Xiao Yan said with a smile, looking at the Dragon Emperor who had been imprisoned for who knows how long.

Upon hearing this, the enormous purple-gold dragon rapidly shrank and transformed into a middle-aged man with a full head of purple-gold hair.

"You saved me? Judging from your aura, you seem to have broken through to Dou Di. How is that possible? Dou Qi Continent lacks primordial emperor qi, so it should be impossible to break through to Dou Di!" The man looked Xiao Yan up and down, becoming more and more surprised.

Gu Yuan and the others stared in disbelief at the man who had suddenly appeared.

"Huh! You actually have the bloodline of a dragon and a phoenix! You are a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan! The Ancient Void Dragon Clan has actually produced a Dou Di!" The man was stunned when he saw that Xiao Yan had the bloodline of a dragon and a phoenix. Their Ancient Void Dragon Clan had actually produced a Dou Di.

Seeing the old Dragon Emperor's startled reaction, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. He then reached out and a dark spatial passage instantly formed. With a grab, he pulled out a figure in purple robes.

"Brother Xiao Yan, why did you grab me?" Zi Yan looked at the suddenly changed environment around her, then looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression.

Before Xiao Yan could answer, the old Dragon Emperor beside him was staring at Zi Yan, unable to look away.

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" Zi Yan was furious when she saw the man with purple and gold hair staring at her. She thought he was a lecherous old man.

"Ahem!" Xiao Yan smiled. Zhu Kun didn't even care about his own daughter in order to become a Dou Di. As a result, not only did he fail to break through to Dou Di, but he was also tricked into becoming a gatekeeper.

If Xiao Yan were to come with the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, this old Dragon Emperor would definitely still be imprisoned.

Of course, Xiao Yan came here to save Zhu Kun, after all, Zhu Kun is Zi Yan's father, and for that reason alone, Xiao Yan cannot ignore him.

"This is your father!" Xiao Yan said with a smile as he looked at Zi Yan.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan was startled. She glanced at Zhu Kun, then stubbornly turned her head away, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "I have no father!"

Seeing Zi Yan like this, Zhu Kun became anxious. Zi Yan looked very much like her mother, and he recognized her at a glance. However, Zi Yan refused to acknowledge him. Helpless, he could only turn his gaze to Xiao Yan and look to him for help.

"Alas! Zi Yan was all alone back then, always bullied by magical beasts. Later, she accidentally ate the Transformation Grass... and became a little girl. She was often bullied again, and had no one to confide in, so she could only silently lick her wounds!" Xiao Yan embellished Zi Yan's story, making Zhu Kun feel extremely guilty.

Zi Yan scratched her head, looking at Xiao Yan somewhat embarrassed. Was she really that miserable? It didn't seem so!

"It's all my fault! I was trying to find a way to break through to the Dou Di realm, but I was tricked and imprisoned here. I promise you, I'll take good care of you from now on. To hell with the Dou Di realm, I don't care anymore." Seeing his child suffer so much, Zhu Kun couldn't stop his tears from flowing.

Seeing Zhu Kun's appearance, Zi Yan felt much less resentful, but she still felt a little awkward about directly acknowledging him.

"Ahem, there's plenty of time later! The most important thing now is to open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave and get what's inside!" Xiao Yan coughed twice and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun gave Xiao Yan a grateful look, knowing that haste makes waste.

Xiao Yan controlled the ancient jade to open the gate of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, and then led his people inside.

Faced with this legendary holy land that has long been said to be able to help people break through to the Dou Di level, everyone above except Xiao Yan was excited.

The ancient emperor's cave was much as Xiao Yan had imagined, with an ancient stone palace standing in the middle. In front of the stone palace was the Strange Fire Plaza, and all around the plaza was a vast plain.

The stone hall was shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to see clearly. However, Xiao Yan reached out and swallowed the fog completely, revealing a towering stone statue. Countless orbs of light surrounded the statue, each containing a Heaven-rank cultivation technique or fighting skill.

"I never expected that after so many years, this place would be bustling again." An old man suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. His appearance was exactly the same as the stone statue. It was the appearance of Emperor Tuoshe.

"Tathagata!"

Gu Yuan and the others felt a sudden jolt in their hearts. If this were Emperor Tuoshe, it would really be very troublesome.

"What Tuoshe Ancient Emperor? He's nothing but a pill!" Xiao Yan reached out and grabbed the old man in front of him before he could even scream.

When Gu Yuan and the others saw this scene, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This old man was even stronger than them in terms of aura, yet he was captured just like that?

"Alright, here's a nascent Emperor Pill and this stone statue, both containing the essence of an Emperor, which can help people break through to the Dou Di realm. The stone statue contains more primordial Emperor Qi. So I plan to give this Emperor Pill to Xiao Xuan. As for you, I can send you inside to absorb the primordial Emperor Qi." Xiao Yan was already eager to reunite with his woman and live a comfortable life.

Xiao Yan directly tossed the embryonic form of the Emperor Pill to Xiao Xuan, and then used a palm strike to send Gu Yuan and the others into the stone statue. Although there was a wisp of the consciousness of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe inside the stone statue, this consciousness was nothing to Xiao Yan.

After arranging everything, Xiao Yan directly collected all the cultivation techniques and fighting skills on the square, and even moved the entire cave dwelling into the Immortal Realm.

Xiao Yan brought all the places he liked from the Dou Qi Continent into the Immortal Realm, and then connected them to the primordial imperial energy of the Dou Di Continent before taking the girls on a journey through the void.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan, who thought he was living a life of luxury, was actually having a very miserable time.

"Xiao Yan, baby pooped!"

"Xiao Yan, take these clothes to be washed quickly!"

"Xiao Yan, our son peed."

"Xiao Yan, hurry up and cook! The children are hungry!"

"..."

At this moment, a weary and miserable young man was silently washing clothes by the river. Looking at the mountain of clothes, he felt like crying.

"Sigh! I should have known better than to have fewer women. It's too late to regret it now." Xiao Yan looked at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling that he must be the most miserable Dou Di in history!
