The Fire Lotus formed by the expansion of the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus had not yet dissipated, and two enormous, continuously growing figures were vaguely visible within the fiery clouds.
When those two behemoths expanded to a certain extent, the fiery clouds could no longer conceal their forms.
The scorching mist was pushed aside, revealing the appearance of the two giants within.
These were two colossal giants, tens of thousands of feet tall, connecting heaven and earth.
One had Magma flowing over his body, and countless Heavenly Flames encircled him; with his appearance, the surrounding temperature rose significantly, as if even space itself was burning.
The other appeared somewhat distorted, with deep darkness in his eyes and a cold, eerie bronze mask covering his face; a dark cloak floated, and beneath the cloak, slimy, sinister tentacles extended.
Emperor Yan Law Body!
Celestial Worthy Law Body!
A sense of madness and eeriness struck Xiao Yan's brain, making him dizzy; even using his soul power for defense, it seemed he couldn't block the invasion of this madness and chaos.
"Who exactly are you…?" Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of discomfort.
Of course, both were now at the same level of life, and the pollution emanating from Amon only made Xiao Yan uncomfortable, without causing more severe consequences.
But Xiao Yan dared not be careless; even he, a Dou Emperor, would feel uncomfortable facing Amon's Law Body. If someone of a lower realm, even a Dou Saint, were to face him for a long time, they might fall into madness.
If the opponent were to go to the continent in this state, perhaps within a few breaths, all living beings on the entire continent would deform into monsters.
Before, Xiao Yan only thought Amon was somewhat strange; now, he completely categorized his teacher as an "evil entity."
"Daydreaming during a battle is not a good habit," Amon said with a smile. "It truly makes this teacher happy that you've reached this point… but it's not enough…"
Amon slowly retreated as he spoke.
"Little Yan Zi, you haven't used such a Dharma form yet…
"First, practice with them…"
In front of him, four equally enormous but somewhat ethereal figures emerged.
These four colossal figures all had Amon's face: one was entwined with a giant Dragon Phoenix, one wore white clothes, one was surrounded by flames, and another was brimming with life, like a giant ancient tree.
"These are all my incarnations from certain past stages. Let me see the power of your Emperor Yan Law Body…"
Xiao Yan's gaze fell upon the incarnation completely surrounded by flames, and he was startled to find that those flames were also Heavenly Flames, and their variety was more complete than his own; even Void Swallowing Flame was present!
"You also researched the path of Heavenly Flames?"
Amon smiled softly: "Of course, I am not that original idiotic clan leader, who knew nothing of adaptability…
"I tried many paths, and it was these attempts that allowed me to gradually gain the power to contend with the original clan leader, and to prove his Error."
The white incarnation glanced at Amon, condensed a long sword in his hand, and attacked Xiao Yan, who was in his Law Body state.
He swung his sword down.
The Magma on Xiao Yan's hand solidified somewhat, turning into black-red volcanic rock; he swept the long sword aside with one hand, and with the other, he clenched his fist and smashed it fiercely into the white incarnation's face.
The white incarnation was sent flying hundreds of thousands of feet by his punch.
The flame incarnation also rushed over, its blazing flames turning into a giant fist that enveloped Xiao Yan entirely.
The latter, unafraid, blocked with both hands in front of him, broke through the flames, turned his body to the side, clenched his right hand into a fist, and held his left hand open, with his fist and palm meeting. He distorted his body and slammed his elbow into the flame incarnation's chest.
A terrifying force erupted in the flame incarnation's chest; his chest visibly caved in, and he fell heavily backward.
After a simple exchange, Xiao Yan had already perceived the true nature of these incarnations.
Their strength was slightly weaker than a normal Dou Emperor Law Body, but with the advantage of numbers, they were quite troublesome to deal with.
The Dragon Phoenix Law Body pointed a finger at Xiao Yan, and a giant Dragon Phoenix soared into the sky, biting towards Xiao Yan.
The ancient tree incarnation emitted a faint green light, which shot up into the sky and hovered, like a giant canopy.
Shimmering light fell from the canopy-like treant, healing the two incarnations previously injured by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan had no time to interrupt, because the Dragon Phoenix had already flown over, biting his shoulder, its slender body coiling around him like a python.
The Dragon Phoenix opened its mouth wide and bit Xiao Yan's shoulder; the latter immediately grabbed the Dragon Phoenix's head, hugged its neck, and swung it, throwing it towards the ancient tree incarnation.
The ancient tree incarnation was sent flying.
A torrent composed of countless Heavenly Flames spewed from the flame incarnation's mouth, engulfing Xiao Yan.
However, this seemed to cause him no harm; instead, it seemed to activate some hidden power within the Emperor Yan Law Body. Streaks of red light emerged on the Law Body, growing brighter, changing from black to orange, and then to scorching white. Terrifying high temperatures spread outwards with Xiao Yan at the center.
The ancient tree incarnation was the first to be impacted; its body was ignited, turning into ashes in the flames, and finally disappearing.
The Dragon Phoenix let out a painful wail; the scales on its body cracked inch by inch, and a large amount of blood gushed from its surface, flowing down like a waterfall.
Xiao Yan leaped up and charged towards the Dragon Phoenix incarnation, a flame-wrapped punch piercing its chest.
The flame incarnation condensed a sphere composed of various colored flames in its palm. Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly; he recognized that this move had the same wonderful effect as his Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.
Xiao Yan reached out and summoned the Heavenly Flame Square, holding it in front of him.
The Heavenly Flame Square, made of unknown material, absorbed all the light and heat released by the fireball.
Xiao Yan held the Heavenly Flame Square high and smashed it towards the flame incarnation. Even though it looked like a simple downward smash, under the terrifying power of the Dou Emperor Law Body, it became incredibly powerful, instantly shattering the flame incarnation.
Only a white Amon incarnation remained; he gazed at Xiao Yan, did not continue the battle, and directly dissipated.
Amon extended two tentacles from beneath his cloak and clapped: "Excellent, excellent. I sent my brothers to test you along the way, all to create a sufficiently powerful ally."
"Teacher, are you still going to stop me?" Xiao Yan asked.
Amon's face beneath the mask curved into a smile: "No, because the time is just right."
Just then, a violent fluctuation came from the Central Plains; even in the void, Xiao Yan could feel that boundless might.
"Today, this seat becomes Emperor. Remember my name well: Hun Tiandi, Hun Tiandi!" A voice, magnified by Dou Qi, spread out majestically, thundering across the universe, shaking countless people's minds.
"Congratulations, Clan Leader, on ascending to the Imperial Throne!" The Soul Clan members congratulated in unison.
Void Swallowing Flame's eyes flickered, and he felt a faint unease in his heart.
Gu Yuan, hiding in a mountain in the south of the Central Plains, showed a complex expression:
"He still succeeded… Hun Tiandi…"
Even the Lei Clan, who had sealed off their clan realm and lived in seclusion, heard this terrifying voice, and everyone showed fear.
The Soul Clan's actions had always been ruthless; after Hun Tiandi became the first person in tens of thousands of years, it was feared that all races would be enslaved by the Soul Clan.
The joy on Hun Tiandi's face, after successfully advancing to Dou Emperor, did not last long. He looked into the distance and said softly:
"It's really you, Xiao Yan. You've also become Emperor, haven't you…? If so, then show yourself and fight me. Let's see who truly controls the Dou Qi Continent!"
He had vaguely sensed a terrifying force colliding in the void earlier, so he had accelerated his pace and even thrown a group of combat-capable Soul Clan members into the Spirit Devouring Life Extinguishing Array.
Precisely because of this, he hadn't yet had time to turn on Void Swallowing Flame.
"What? Xiao Yan also became Emperor?" Hun Tiandi's voice made Void Swallowing Flame's face darken. "Damn it, did Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's legacy really fall into his hands?"
Hun Tiandi frowned, glancing at Void Swallowing Flame: "What did you say?"
"There was actually another legacy left by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor in the Ancient Emperor Cave; Xiao Yan must have become Emperor relying on that," Void Swallowing Flame replied.
Hun Tiandi's gaze turned colder, annoyed in his heart… Damn Void Swallowing Flame, why didn't you tell me such an important matter earlier!
Otherwise… otherwise… Ugh, even if he had told me earlier, in that situation, I don't think I would have had any way…
Never mind then.
…
Flames poured down from the sky, incinerating the blood clouds they touched.
The entire sky was divided into two halves: one half was thick, dense blood-colored clouds, and the other was an boundless ocean of Heavenly Flame.
Xiao Yan's figure emerged from the flames, confronting Hun Tiandi from afar.
"To become Emperor, you committed such great slaughter. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Xiao Yan's soul power swept across the Central Plains, finding that within the vast the Central Plains, survivors were few and far between; almost the entire the Central Plains had been massacred.
"Retribution?" Hun Tiandi scoffed: "A Dou Emperor stands above heaven and earth; even heaven and earth must submit to me. Who can make me suffer retribution? Right and wrong are written by the victor. As long as I suppress and kill you, in many years, great scholars will chant scriptures for me."
He paused, the wild smile on his face receding slightly, and asked: "What was that energy fluctuation I sensed earlier? Why did it feel like you were fighting someone? Is there a third Dou Emperor between heaven and earth?"
Xiao Yan's face distorted into a cold smile: "Are you scared?"
"A joke! At this point, even if Tuoshe Ancient Emperor were to revive, I wouldn't fear him!" Hun Tiandi's expression was stern. "Let's fight! Let's determine who is superior, who is the defeated and who is the king!"
"Exactly what I want! I still have many accounts to settle with your Soul Clan."
Xiao Yan stepped forward, distorted his waist, and unleashed a punch.
Hun Tiandi was not to be outdone, returning a punch of his own.
Terrifying forces collided in the air, dispersing to both sides, and a massive ravine appeared between them, extending tens of thousands of feet left and right, with an unfathomable depth.
The might of a Dou Emperor, terrifying indeed!
