After merging with the white Amon, the smile on Amon's face grew even wider, and he made no effort to hide his joy.
He then looked at Xiao Yan: "I'll give you one more chance. If you lose again, then I'm afraid you won't be my ideal collaborator."
"Actually, there are two opportunities for becoming an Emperor left behind by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor."
Amon's words immediately astonished everyone present: "What? There are two?"
Xiao Yan suddenly reacted: "That statue?"
There were two things that changed Amon's appearance: one was the Emperor Grade Young Pill swallowed by Hun Tiandi, and the other was the statue in the square.
"That's right, it's it. Tuoshe Ancient Emperor left his legacy inside, and the condition for accepting the legacy is to cultivate the same cultivation method as him."
"the Flame Mantra?" Xiao Yan asked with a hint of inquiry.
"Hmm, do you know what the number one strange flame on the strange flame list is?"
Xiao Yan shook his head. The top spot on the strange flame list had always been empty. Even the people who compiled the strange flame list seemed to have never seen that mysterious flame, which was an unsolved mystery in the Alchemist circle.
Amon smiled and said: "Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is the number one strange flame on the strange flame list, or you can call him Emperor Flame.
"This flame was not naturally born, but rather obtained by various strange flames devouring each other. The flame formed by the fusion of twenty-two kinds of strange flames is the number one strange flame on the strange flame list.
"Your inheritance from Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is very compatible, which was one of the important reasons I noticed you back then."
Xiao Yan showed a look of realization. This solved some past doubts: why Ape Elder's crow friend appeared in Snake-People Race Holy City to help him steal the Azure Lotus Core Flame, why Xiao Meng gave him the Sea Heart Flame as a gift...
...This was also part of Amon's investment.
"Alright, go and accept Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance, break through to Dou Emperor, and then have a decisive battle with Hun Tiandi, who has also broken through to Dou Emperor. Only the final victor will be qualified to be my ally in the Great Thousand World."
"What should I do?" Xiao Yan was a bit lost. Even though Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance was right in front of him, he didn't know how to open it.
Amon chuckled, pinching the crystal monocle. Pure light bloomed from the lens, and the light projected onto the monocle of the statue, a vast pressure emanating from the stone statue.
This pressure was so powerful that everyone present, except Amon and Xiao Yan, immediately knelt down.
A beam of light shone from the statue's monocle onto Xiao Yan. The Dou Qi on Xiao Yan's body seemed to be responding to this light, becoming exceptionally active.
From this light, Xiao Yan felt something of the same origin.
"Strange Flame Dou Qi?" His eyes flickered slightly, and he wasn't too surprised.
He hesitated for a moment and said to Amon: "I want to move the Heavenly Flame Square into the Heavenly Tomb. I can have more time there."
Amon nodded noncommittally: "Whatever, as long as you can finally defeat Spirit Emperor, Hun Tiandi."
Xiao Yan put away the Heavenly Flame Square and retreated with the Xiao Clan people into the Heavenly Tomb.
After a few days of silence, the Soul Clan finally made a move. A black halo centered on a Soul Hall spread out at an astonishing speed, enveloping the entire the Central Plains.
Under the horrified gaze of countless people, this black light transformed into a luminous cauldron.
This formation was many times larger than when Yao Chen refined the ninth grade golden pill that day.
Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged in the sky, overlooking the entire the Central Plains: "Hahaha... With the Central Plains as the cauldron, living beings as the material, heaven and earth as the fire, and the physical body as the pill, the day the pill is formed will be the day I enter Dou Emperor!"
His voice spread throughout the Central Plains, terrifying countless people.
Without the ancient clan coalition, and without the Heavenly Mansion Alliance from the original work, there was no safe place in the entire the Central Plains.
The huge array unfolded, and black light beams surged from underground, enveloping city after city.
Under the illumination of the light pillars, the people in the cities exploded, turning into blood mist.
The blood gathered into an ocean, and blood-colored air currents rose, soaring into the sky, flying towards Hun Tiandi at the core of the array.
"Spirit Devouring Life Extinguishing Array... Hiss, what a ruthless method." Hun Xiao stood within the array, taking a sharp breath.
She looked at Hun Zhang beside her and asked: "You knew already?"
Hun Zhang rolled his eyes: "How many of our clan's plans do you think I don't know? It's not like the Clan Head does everything himself, right?"
His expression then became serious: "Stay by my side and don't run around. No matter what you see, don't meddle."
Hun Xiao raised an eyebrow, then looked into the distance. Void Swallowing Flame was leading Hun Miesheng, Hun Xunzi, and others, throwing the captured descendants of the Ling Clan, Shi Clan, and Gu Clan into the sea of blood.
"Too slow, it's not enough. We must hurry. The situation in the Ancient Emperor Cave makes me a bit uneasy." Hun Tiandi looked at Void Swallowing Flame with blood-colored eyes.
The latter nodded and, without hesitation, ordered: "Go and throw our ordinary clan members in too."
Hun Miesheng hesitated slightly, then began to act.
This order more or less caused dissatisfaction among some clan members, and its implementation was slow, but it was still firmly carried out.
Hun Xiao's eyes widened, looking at the ordinary clan members wailing as they fell into the sea of blood, saying in disbelief:
"Is the Clan Head crazy? Those are our clan members! They're our own people!"
Hun Zhang's expression didn't change much, and he said coldly:
"This is the Soul Clan... Only if you have value can you survive. The Clan Head used to treat these descendants so gently, protecting their safety, safeguarding their interests, and shielding them from the bullying of those in high positions, all for this moment.
"We are fortunate, we are the elites of the Soul Clan. The Clan Head still needs us to follow him. Even if there are sacrifices, we will be the last ones."
Hun Xiao felt a chill run down her spine.
"Don't worry, it won't be your turn." Hun Zhang comforted her.
Hun Xiao's eyes flickered: "That's not necessarily true. If there aren't enough ordinary clan members, the Clan Head won't stop. If Dou Kings are gone, Dou Emperors will be thrown in. If Dou Emperors are gone, Dou Ancestors will be thrown in... If everyone is gone, it's possible it will eventually be the turn of Dou Saints."
"Then let's hope the Clan Head succeeds before that... The entire the Central Plains, plus the captured descendants of other races, shouldn't be too far off." Hun Zhang shrugged.
In the Heavenly Tomb, a huge square floated in the air. The faint pressure emanating from the statue in the square made both the living people in the Heavenly Tomb and the many soul bodies feel a fear originating from their souls.
After Xiao Yan bowed to the statue, his body slowly ascended, stopping at the stone hole in the statue's chest.
After a slight hesitation, he lifted his leg and stepped inside.
