Looking at Hun Feng, who was glaring at him, Hun Zhang didn't care at all:
"You mean Hun Yuantian? That old fossil has already turned to ash... The Clan Leader did it.
"As for you two, our Soul Clan encourages free competition among peers. My sister caught you, what does that have to do with me?"
As he spoke, he patted Hun Xiao's shoulder beside him.
Hun Xiao was stunned... Hun Zhang could always find high-sounding excuses for his actions, slippery as an eel, making it hard to find his weak spot.
"What use are they?" Hun Xiao asked, puzzled.
"Aren't you concerned about Emperor Yan's emotional life, who almost became your fiancé?" Hun Zhang felt a bit helpless with his thick-skinned sister.
"Hmm?"
"According to my investigation, the daughter of Gu Yuan, whom they jointly ambushed and killed, was Xiao Yan's childhood sweetheart... If the Clan Leader ultimately loses, we'll use their heads as capital to defect to him." Hun Zhang chuckled.
Hun Zhang was a very pragmatic person. He wasn't particularly loyal to Hun Tiandi, but as long as the other party didn't fail, he wouldn't betray him... But not betraying didn't mean not leaving himself a way out.
Just try to live... It's not shameful.
He paused, then continued, "By the way, sis, you need to be mentally prepared. If Xiao Yan has even a little interest in you, I'll clean you up and throw you to him."
Hun Xiao: "..."
So, I'm also part of your defection plan?
...
The Central Plains, the battle continued.
Xiao Yan's face was grim as he looked at the Emperor Slaughtering Ghost Blood Sabre in Hun Tiandi's hand, which had become extremely eerie, emitting waves of ominous aura.
"You can even lay such a cruel hand on your own clansmen, you're simply a beast."
Hun Tiandi snorted coldly, "The winner takes all. If I win, the Soul Clan will naturally flourish. If I lose, the Soul Clan will decline... This is a necessary sacrifice!"
He cut his own palm with the blade. After sacrificing his clansmen with blood, he even used his own blood as a sacrifice!
Blood flowed profusely from Hun Tiandi's hand. As a large amount of blood was lost, his face became pale, his hair was disheveled, and his expression was ferocious, like a demon that had crawled out of hell.
"Go to hell!"
When the sharpness of the blood blade reached its peak, Hun Tiandi took a step forward and swung the long blade in his hand.
Xiao Yan swung the Heavenly Flame Eternal Ruler to meet the attack.
"Boom..."
A terrifying storm swept in all directions.
The terrifying power directly tore the earth, forming a huge abyss.
In the abyss, dust filled the air. Both of them were almost exhausted from the collision just now, unable to maintain their Dou Emperor Dharma Body, and returned to their normal size.
Hun Tiandi leaned back against a rock, his face bruised and swollen, struggling even to move.
Xiao Yan stood in the rubble, stumbling towards Hun Tiandi.
Hun Tiandi struggled to stand up, but Xiao Yan punched him in the face, sending him back down.
Leaning against the rock, he suddenly laughed, "Hahaha... Hahahaha... You are indeed slightly better than me, but you can't kill me. When I recover, I'll fight you again... Next time, I'll definitely win!"
Xiao Yan looked at him coldly, "There won't be a next time. This time, it's the end."
His body suddenly began to self-ignite, and brilliant flames shot into the sky. The Heavenly Flame Square flew from a distance, and the stone pillars caught the flames rising from Xiao Yan, forming a huge formation.
"You..." Hun Tiandi hadn't finished speaking when he was caught by a net of interweaving Heavenly Flames, and sucked into the formation.
The fire net returned to the center of the Heavenly Flame Square, forming a giant fire cocoon. Dense, mysterious fire patterns emerged, flowing across the entire square, forming an incomparably strong seal.
Having burned his Dou Emperor Dharma Body to seal Hun Tiandi, Xiao Yan completely lost his strength and fell backward onto the ground.
He looked at the sky and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
"Tsk, not bad." A light voice sounded.
Starlight surged, outlining a portal. Amon walked out of the portal, looking at Xiao Yan on the ground, a smile on his lips.
"Burning your Dou Emperor Dharma Body at the last moment, cooperating with the Heavenly Flame Square to seal your opponent... That's decisive enough." Amon clapped his hands in admiration.
Xiao Yan smiled, "I could only do that. The Dou Qi Continent can't withstand another such torment."
Amon pointed his finger, and an Emperor Flame, condensed from twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames, shot towards Xiao Yan, hovering in front of him.
"Here, I'll give you this Emperor Flame. It should help you recover your Dharma Body sooner. I'll take Hun Tiandi away, so you don't have to worry about his threat anymore. I won't let him return to the Dou Qi Continent." Amon smiled.
A hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Teacher, are you going to the Great Thousand World?"
Amon nodded, a nostalgic look on his face:
"I've been away from my hometown for so long, it's time to go back and see."
Xiao Yan propped himself up with his hands, sat up, and stared fixedly at Amon, hesitating to speak.
Amon smiled, "You'll go there yourself... When your strength reaches a certain level, you'll naturally feel the call of the Great Thousand World.
"A word of warning, the Great Thousand World is very dangerous and faces the threat of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan... By the way, it is precisely because of the existence of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan that the Dou Emperors of ancient times sealed the Dou Qi Plane."
Xiao Yan's expression became serious: "Extraterritorial Evil Clan... So that's how it is... So, Teacher, your hometown is in danger?"
Amon pinched the crystal monocle and said with a smile, "It is now."
Hmm... It is now, but after I go up, who the danger will come from is uncertain... Amon muttered to himself.
Xiao Yan continued, "Teacher, can you tell me about the strength of the powerhouses in the Great Thousand World? What level is Dou Emperor in the Great Thousand World?"
Amon organized his words and replied:
"A Dou Emperor is roughly equivalent to a Supreme in the Great Thousand World, but the people of the Great Thousand World cultivate spiritual energy, which is a more advanced energy than Dou Qi. So their combat power will be even stronger than ordinary Dou Emperors.
"Above Supreme, there are also the Earth Supreme and Heavenly Sovereign realms. A Supreme can dominate some smaller continents, an Earth Supreme is not weak anywhere, but only a Heavenly Sovereign is a true overlord of the Great Thousand World. Only forces with a Heavenly Sovereign can be called first-class forces.
"After people from the Inferior Plane go to the Great Thousand World, their own power will be assimilated by spiritual energy and they will need to cultivate spiritual energy. When you encounter this situation in the future, don't panic, and don't use your own power to resist the spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World.
"Otherwise, you will suffer a backlash. Many powerhouses who broke through the shackles of the Inferior Plane have fallen at this first hurdle in the Great Thousand World. Just follow nature and transform your Dou Qi into spiritual energy."
Xiao Yan nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher..."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Teacher, if I become a Heavenly Sovereign, will I be able to save Xiao Meng?"
Amon shook his head: "Being able to revive her is one thing, whether I release her is another. I generally won't allow an individual with my own abilities to be separated. Unless you can pay a sufficient price... And that price, Heavenly Sovereign is not enough, oh."
Xiao Yan's face became solemn: "Heavenly Sovereign is not enough? But Teacher, didn't you say that a Heavenly Sovereign is already an overlord in the Great Thousand World? Is there an even stronger existence above that?"
Amon said with an unchanging smile, "That's something you'll need to comprehend yourself."
After speaking, starlight emerged from his body, and his figure gradually faded, finally disappearing into the void, vanishing completely.
Xiao Yan looked at the spot where he disappeared, pondering for a long time.
Extraterritorial Evil Clan... Wait, Teacher himself is quite evil! Could it be that Teacher is actually a member of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, and he cultivated me to create an insider in the Great Thousand World, to make me their guide for invading the Great Thousand World?
This thought that suddenly popped into his mind made him somewhat uneasy... If that were truly the case, how should I choose?
Xiao Yan was extremely conflicted... He could clearly feel Amon's indifference to life. If necessary, he might be even more ruthless than Hun Tiandi...
He thought for a long time, but still couldn't find an answer for himself.
Sigh, never mind. What will be, will be. I'll think about these things when the time comes... Xiao Yan thought, no longer dwelling on it.
Seeing Hun Tiandi sealed within the fire cocoon, unable to emerge for a long time, even if it was hard to believe, the remaining people of the Soul Clan could only accept the reality.
"He lost, the Clan Leader lost." Someone said, utterly dejected.
Others cried and laughed like mad, their voices filled with grief and indignation.
A thousand years of planning, blood sacrifice of the entire clan, only to end up with such a result. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the people of the Soul Clan.
Hun Miesheng and Hun Xunzi stood blankly in the air, not trying to escape. They didn't know what to do next.
Xiao Yan had just gotten up from the ground, and was thinking of opening the gate of Heavenly Tomb to let the people of the Xiao Clan come out and clean up the mess, when he saw four black figures swiftly approaching from a distance.
He wasn't flustered. Even a heavily injured Dou Emperor was invincible on this Dou Qi Continent...
The four figures stopped a few feet away from him, then knelt down on one knee very neatly.
"Congratulations, Emperor Yan, on your triumphant victory!"
The four said in unison.
Xiao Yan was stunned. Good heavens, I just won, and the first ones to congratulate me are actually people from the Soul Clan...
Hun Zhang spoke respectfully and humbly:
"Thank you, Emperor Yan, for setting things right for the people of the world. That beast, Hun Tiandi, actually blood-sacrificed his entire clan. It's simply unforgivable.
"We only saw his true colors at the very end. Before, we did many wrong things under his incitement and offended you greatly. Now we have awakened to the truth and regret it deeply."
Hun Xiao lowered her head, and after Hun Zhang poked her thigh with his elbow, she stammered:
"I... I... I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have chased you with a sword before... I don't want the Fallen Heart Flame anymore."
Hun Zhang's mouth twitched. You're still thinking about the Fallen Heart Flame? The words I prepared weren't like that...
After a moment of silence, Hun Zhang subtly made a gesture, and the four said in unison:
"We are willing to serve you like dogs and horses to make amends for our past mistakes. We hope Emperor Yan will be magnanimous and give us a chance."
Xiao Yan looked at Hun Zhang and Hun Xiao with a wry smile... These two guys, they're quite decisive...
He hadn't intended to do anything to them anyway, as he now had the absolute advantage and wasn't in a situation where he couldn't show mercy. He still remembered his father's instructions...
Speaking of which, Hun Zhang and Hun Xiao could even be considered his non-blood-related older brother and sister.
