There are over a billion transmigrators in Battle Through the Heavens.

The Soul Emperor sighed deeply, unwilling yet powerless to resist.

In the end, they could only be at Xiao Yan's mercy.

He could sense that his system had been found by Xiao Yan's system, and that he had been defeated and devoured by it.

Next, it should be my turn.

"Perhaps!"

"However, I don't necessarily want to kill you."

“You are an ambitious and capable person. If you are willing to submit to me, I am not unwilling to spare your life.”

As Xiao Yan spoke, a hint of pity appeared on his face.

The Soul Emperor is definitely a remarkable figure; it would be a real shame to kill someone like him outright.

"You might as well just kill me!"

"A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?"

"I lost to you not because I, the Soul Emperor, am inferior to you, but because I transmigrated too late."

"If I had transmigrated before you, it wouldn't be me dying today, but you!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Soul Emperor couldn't help but laugh. Having died so many times, what did he, the Soul Emperor, have to fear?

"Fine."

"Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish."

"You've died so many times already, one more time won't make a difference."

"But I must remind you that without the system, you can never rewind. If you die this time, you are truly dead."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Xiao Yan spoke to him briefly before preparing to send him on his way.

"and many more!"

As the ancients wisely said, "A great man can bend and stretch," and "A wise man is one who understands the times."

"Today I am not as skilled as others, so it is only right that I pay some price."

"I am willing to submit to you."

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the Soul Emperor.

He was so forceful just now because he thought he could continue to roll back.

It wasn't until Xiao Yan pointed out that without the system, there was no way to rewind time that he realized that this time, his death was truly his death.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, he finally couldn't remain defiant.

"Alright, then I'll give you a chance."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he directly took a drop of Soul Emperor's essence blood and established a master-servant contract with him.

With the establishment of the master-servant contract, Soul Emperor realized that he would probably never escape Xiao Yan's grasp for the rest of his life.

"Let's go!"

"Come with me to find the Void Devouring Flame."

Xiao Yan had already confirmed his identity as the Void Devouring Flame Transmigrator long ago.

Therefore, he did not linger at all, subdued the Soul Emperor, and then immediately found the Void Devouring Flame.

"Chieftain, is there something you need from me?"

Void Devouring Flame did not recognize Xiao Yan, so when the two arrived, he subconsciously assumed that Soul Emperor had come here specifically to find him.

"I'm fine, he's the one who contacted you."

Soul Emperor pointed to Xiao Yan beside him and said.

Who are you?

"What do you want from me?"

The Void Devouring Flame glanced at Xiao Yan, and its body began to tremble involuntarily.

After all, Xiao Yan is now a Perfected Ancient Emperor, possessing the Law of Fire, and is naturally able to restrain the Void Devouring Flame.

The fact that he can still stand and talk to Xiao Yan is enough to justify his second-place ranking.

"Void Devouring Flame, hand over your system, and I might spare your life."

"Otherwise, you'll die here today."

According to Xiao Yan's assessment, the Void Devouring Flame was not only a transmigrator.

Moreover, it also has a seven-level system.

The system is called the Behind-the-Scenes Big Boss System.

The original intention was to have Void Devouring Flame be a hidden mastermind behind the scenes.

The Void Devouring Flame was indeed acting according to the system's instructions.

They secretly took control of the Soul Clan members and waited for the Soul Emperor to emerge from seclusion.

Once the Soul Emperor has cleared away all obstacles on the Dou Qi Continent, he can then step forward to claim the fruits of victory, making him a perfect behind-the-scenes mastermind.

This is also why he has never made a move against the Soul Emperor who was in seclusion.

"..." Void Devouring Flames.

He actually wanted to rebel against Xiao Yan, but firstly, he was naturally restrained by Xiao Yan, and secondly, Xiao Yan's strength far surpassed his own.

Therefore, the Void Devouring Flame had no choice but to submit to Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, Void Devouring Flame sighed helplessly, and then began to negotiate terms with Xiao Yan.

"I can submit to you, but you cannot erase my consciousness. I hope I can still be an independent individual."

The Void Devouring Flame's request was actually quite simple: that Xiao Yan not absorb it.

Now that Xiao Yan already had enough of a Void Devouring Flame, he readily agreed to Xiao Yan's request.

"I plan to go into seclusion with your Soul Clan for a period of time, and during this time I will also take the opportunity to properly nurture the strong members of your Soul Clan."

Having subdued the Void Devouring Flame, Xiao Yan began preparing for seclusion.

Before going into seclusion, he also gave Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame a peak Dou Di empowerment card respectively.

Subsequently, the system of medicinal pills was used to generate a great deal of primal energy in the Soul Realm.

Furthermore, the Soul Realm was opened, allowing this primal energy to spread throughout the entire Central Continent.

Of course, Xiao Yan wouldn't be so kind as to help someone else break through to the Dou Di realm.

Each of these primal energies contains the power of a curse.

After the system was upgraded to level nine, the capabilities of each system were enhanced like never before.

The curse system goes beyond simply cursing someone using their name and other information.

It can also pre-set curses, for example, by placing curses within battle qi or source qi.

Anyone who absorbs this energy is essentially cursed by Xiao Yan.

In other words, as long as someone uses this source energy to advance to the Dou Di realm.

Therefore, their lives were now in Xiao Yan's hands.

"Void, do you think we'll never be able to escape his control?"

During Xiao Yan's seclusion, the Soul Emperor sighed and said...

"Sigh, you've seen his strength too; he can even create Origin Qi with ease."

"If neither of us wants to die, we'll have to work for him for the rest of our lives."

The expression on Void Devouring Flame's face was equally unpleasant at this moment.

However, he was completely helpless against Xiao Yan.

"In that case, let our Soul Clan disciples cultivate with all their might."

"Even if we're to be Xiao Yan's underlings, we'll be among the strongest of them."

The Soul Emperor was a man who was unwilling to be subordinate to others.

Xiao Yan is destined to be unsurpassable, so he can only remain in the position of being second only to one person and above all others.

……

While Soul Emperor was diligently cultivating, Xiao Yan was also using the [Enlightenment System] to comprehend the Dao he had come to understand.

At the same time, he was also using the Lesser Destiny Technique to burn his life force frantically, all in order to break through to the Dao Emperor realm more quickly.

And at the moment when Xiao Yan perfected his understanding of the Dao and broke through to the Dao Emperor level.

His aura soared into the sky, not only breaking through the limitations of the Soul Realm, but also causing the barrier covering the entire Central Continent to shatter.

"The Dao Emperor? So this is the Dao Emperor!"

After breaking through to the Dao Emperor realm, Xiao Yan felt that he was completely different from before.

If the ancient emperors cultivated the laws, they could completely control a certain power, thereby bringing their strength to a certain limit.

That Dao Emperor broke through this limit and entered a completely new level.

This level is creation and destruction.

Any Dao Emperor possesses the power to destroy a vast world.

Advanced Dao Emperors, in addition to destruction, can also create.

Xiao Yan is still only a minor Dao Emperor who has mastered dozens of Daos.
