"Blood Demon Corroding Heart Thunder!" Hun Tiandi waved his hand.
The bloody mist covering the Central Plains gathered, and the bloody clouds contracted and squirmed like organs.
Xiao Yan stretched out his right hand, and the different fires gathered, forming an exquisite Fire Lotus.
The blood clouds suddenly expanded, and countless bloody thunders shot out from them. Each one contained powerful energy, enough to tear the sky apart.
Looking at the countless bloody thunders coming towards him, Xiao Yan simply threw out the Fire Lotus in his hand.
"Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus!"
The lotus formed by the different fires drew a beautiful arc in the air, then burst forth with endless light and heat.
A blinding light that made it difficult to look directly at shone, and an extremely high temperature that seemed capable of incinerating everything permeated the air. Space was torn apart, revealing black cracks. The earth was melted, turning into an ocean of Magma.
The bloody clouds were dispersed, turning into a sky full of blood rain falling down. The energy surging from the Fire Lotus also gathered into tiny flames, descending from high in the sky.
Blood rain and Huo Yu intertwined, engulfing the entire the Central Plains.
The blood rain carried astonishing ferocity and malevolence, while the Huo Yu would melt everything it touched.
If Hun Tiandi hadn't already sacrificed the entire the Central Plains in advance, this collision would have caused the death of countless living beings.
"Xiao Yan, try this, the true power of a Dou Emperor!"
A hint of gloom flashed in Hun Tiandi's eyes. He took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and swallowed all the blood clouds covering the sky.
The bloody clouds that had filled the entire the Central Plains with blood light all disappeared. Sunlight finally poured down again after several months, and the atmosphere of impending doom seemed to lessen somewhat.
Hun Tiandi's body expanded. In just a few breaths, he transformed into a blood-colored giant tens of thousands of feet tall. Blood light appeared on his body, forming a layer of blood-colored armor.
The giant's feet touched the earth, and his head reached the sky. His enormous size alone could cause people to feel terror.
"Haha, Xiao Yan, what do you think of my Blood Emperor Body?"
"Then you also look at my Fire Emperor Body..." Xiao Yan was fearless.
The Magma on the ground surged upwards, and the flames on his body flowed downwards. Magma and different fires intertwined, jointly condensing into a dharma body as massive as Hun Tiandi's.
It was not the first time Xiao Yan had used this. After his previous contests with Amon's four avatars, he had a deeper understanding of the "Dou Emperor Dharma Body."
The moment the dharma body formed, Xiao Yan immediately moved. He strode forward, crossing the vast distance in a single step, instantly arriving in front of Hun Tiandi, leaping up, and then fiercely throwing a punch.
Hun Tiandi, fighting with a dharma body for the first time, was caught off guard and took a solid punch to the face, his body falling backward.
Xiao Yan pressed his advantage, punching again and again, smashing into Hun Tiandi as if in a street brawl. But these seemingly ordinary blows, given the immense size, appeared exceptionally terrifying.
Each punch shattered space, and each time a fist landed on Hun Tiandi, it stirred up a gust of wind.
"Ah... The patriarch is at a disadvantage." Hun Xiao watched from afar.
Hun Zhang glanced at the nearest Soul Hall, a thoughtful expression on his face. He grabbed Hun Xiao's shoulder: "Come with me."
"Eh?" Hun Xiao followed Hun Zhang, bewildered, leaving the main Soul Clan contingent.
"Damn it!" Hun Tiandi roared, his armor almost shattered from the beating. He kicked Xiao Yan away.
He stood up and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Xiao Yan. The two behemoths fought each other, without dazzling moves, only extreme violence.
Amidst their collisions, winds and clouds trembled, lightning flashed, and heaven and earth tore apart, as if the entire continent was shaking.
After one collision, Hun Tiandi staggered back a few steps, looking somewhat disheveled.
Xiao Yan gained the upper hand and whispered, "Your Blood Emperor Body doesn't seem to be that great... Your power is already starting to wane."
Hun Tiandi's face was grim: "Don't get too happy too soon."
He waved his large hand, and streaks of red light shot into the sky. All the Spirit Devouring Life Extinguishing Array connected, forming a brand new array.
"This is an array created by the first Dou Emperor powerhouse of my clan, named the Emperor Slaying Array! In ancient times, it truly killed a Dou Emperor powerhouse!" Hun Tiandi said with a chilling tone.
Xiao Yan's expression became solemn. He looked at the connected, strange battle array and sensed a hint of danger from it.
"Impressive... Your thousand-year plan truly wasn't in vain. If it weren't for Master, you might have actually succeeded." Xiao Yan said in a low voice.
Master? Hun Tiandi frowned... In his intelligence, Xiao Yan's master was Yao Chen, but although Yao Chen had refined a ninth grade golden pill and was a notable figure, he hadn't had a decisive impact on the Soul Clan's plans, had he?
Xiao Yan was, of course, not referring to Yao Chen at this moment, but Amon.
It was Amon who gave the Xiao Clan the power to contend head-on with the Soul Clan.
It was Amon who supported him, helping him step by step to reach where he was today. Although his emotional bond might not compare to Yao Chen, Xiao Yan also knew that Amon's help to him was even greater than Yao Chen's.
"Hmph... I will fight you with the blood of tens of millions of my descendants. To be able to fall within this array, you can be proud."
Hun Tiandi slapped his palm backward, shattering space. Only the sound of rushing water was heard, and blood, like a tide, surged into the grand array. A blood blade exuding monstrous malevolence appeared in Hun Tiandi's hand.
The blood blade had a strange appearance, with no hilt, and was enveloped in blood light. With its appearance, the sun in the sky dimmed a few shades, and chilling winds blew, as if countless spirits were wailing and screaming.
While Hun Tiandi was activating the grand array to condense the blood blade, Xiao Yan was not idle. He took out the Heavenly Flame Square left by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.
The fire seal on his brow glowed and pulsed violently, and an indescribable wave of spiritual energy emanated from the fire seal, spreading throughout the Dou Qi Continent.
"In the name of the Flame Emperor, command all fires under heaven..."
As if commanded by an emperor, all flames involuntarily bowed towards Xiao Yan's direction at this moment. Even Void Swallowing Flame felt its body sink, uncontrollably wanting to submit to him.
Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly opened, and his voice resonated majestically in every corner of heaven and earth:
"Heavenly Flame list twenty-third, Profound Yellow Flame, return to your place!"
A flame shot out from a deep mountain hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, streaking across the sky like a meteor, finally landing on a stone pillar in the Heavenly Flame Square.
As it landed, the Profound Yellow Flame on the stone pillar rose up, burning fiercely.
"Heavenly Flame list twenty-second, Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, return to your place!"
...
"Heavenly Flame list second, Void Swallowing Flame, return to your place!"
The people of the Soul Clan looked in astonishment at Void Swallowing Flame, who stood before the crowd, a hint of worry surfacing in their hearts.
Void Swallowing Flame's body trembled, clearly resisting the summoning with all its might.
"Void Swallowing Flame, are you not returning to your place yet?"
Xiao Yan's voice sounded again. Although Void Swallowing Flame resisted with all its strength, it still failed, transforming into a dark black ray of light that landed on the foremost pillar of the Heavenly Flame Square.
Black light pillars shot into the sky, and twenty-two fire pillars intertwined, forming a brilliantly colored ancient ruler—the Heavenly Flame Eternal Ruler!
Hun Tiandi's gaze was grim, and he said urgently, "People of the Soul Clan, listen to my command, sacrifice your bodies to the blade!"
Thousands of Soul Clan powerhouses gritted their teeth and flew out, rushing towards the blood blade in Hun Tiandi's hand.
Hun Tiandi's expression was indifferent. With a turn of the blood blade, the heads of these Soul Clan powerhouses shot into the sky, their blood leaving their bodies and being completely absorbed by the blade. Their bodies also turned into powder, dissipating between heaven and earth.
"Not enough, again!" Hun Tiandi continued.
There was a stir among the Soul Clan crowd. This time, the hesitation lasted longer, and not many people flew out.
A fierce look flashed in Hun Tiandi's eyes. He swung his arm, and the blood blade cut through the sky, striking amidst the Soul Clan army. With a single strike, nearly eighty percent of the Soul Clan members perished there.
Hun Miesheng and Hun Xunzi, who had escaped the calamity, looked at Hun Tiandi with pale faces, still somewhat shaken.
They glanced at the dwindling number of Soul Clan members and suddenly remembered that the "Three Sword Saints" had long since disappeared...
Hun Miesheng's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, "Those three guys are still so quick to run away."
On a mountain peak hundreds of thousands of miles from the battlefield, Hun Zhang and Hun Xiao stood in the direction directly behind Xiao Yan, gazing into the distance. Even at such a distance, they could clearly feel the rampant energy ahead.
Hun Zhang said with a smile, "Girl, you regret it now, don't you? I intended for you to be with him a long time ago, but now there's probably no chance."
Hun Xiao pouted: "Well, I did miss out... Who told that damn little thief to steal my Fallen Heart Flame... But the outcome is still unknown, maybe he'll lose his life soon."
A little further behind them, Hun Qiu and Hun Dan had some unease in their eyes: "Are we deserting? If the patriarch wins, he might hold us accountable afterward."
"Who said we were deserting?" Hun Zhang's eyes held a hint of a smile. He reached forward and tore open the void, revealing a small space within the crack.
Hun Qiu and Hun Dan looked inside and found many people, all unconscious, with considerable strength, and even a few Dou Saint powerhouses. Strange black patterns flowed on their bodies, clearly indicating they had been subjected to a seal.
"We were clearly going to capture sacrifices for the patriarch in advance, we just didn't make it in time." Hun Zhang said.
"You already guessed such a situation?" Hun Qiu and Hun Dan exchanged glances, surprise in their eyes.
"No, I only thought of the Emperor Slaying Array when the patriarch started fighting Xiao Yan... These people were originally materials I prepared to refine a sword, they just happen to serve as an excuse now."
"The patriarch might not believe it."
"Whether he believes it or not is his business. It's better than staying there and waiting to die." Hun Zhang shrugged indifferently.
"Bastard, what are you doing? Let me go quickly, or the ancestors won't let you off!" A voice came from the space ahead.
Hun Xiao found the voice somewhat familiar. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw it was Hun Feng.
Beside Hun Feng, there was also an unconscious Hun Yu.
