This is a sea of blood. Looking ahead, it is almost impossible to see the end. Scarlet energy fills the entire space, rendering the place dark red. Countless vengeful spirits are sinking in the sea of blood, like souls stripped of their intelligence, wandering the center of the sea of blood, a smaller blood pool floats here. It seems to be the core of this place, swallowing and spewing energy that is enough to burst an ordinary Dou Sheng.
Emperor Hun Tian sat cross-legged in the middle of the sea, allowing his body to be soaked in blood. He used the energy in the blood sea to suppress the raging Emperor Grade Young Pill in his body. As time passed, the restlessness gradually subsided, and his breath became more and more terrifying. Even the space here became dull. The resentful spirits wandering in the blood sea seemed to have felt the pressure and sank into the blood sea one after another.
This went on for about a month.
Emperor Hun Tian slowly opened his eyes, a scarlet halo flickered deep in his eyes, and an incomparably terrifying pressure swept across the world, causing Xuwu Tunyan, who was standing beside him, to change his expression slightly, as if he felt the oppression.
Yao Yan showed a respectful look on his face. When the pressure faded away, he was the first to bow and congratulate: "Congratulations to the clan leader for making further progress in his cultivation!"
"He just relied on the power of the Emperor Grade Young Pill to break into the Semi-Emperor level. There's nothing to congratulate. It won't be too late to congratulate him after he breaks through to the Dou Emperor level!" Emperor Hun Tian raised his hand and felt the surging power in his body. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips and chuckled.
I’m just afraid that day won’t come for you… Yao Yan muttered to himself. At this point, he wasn’t nervous at all. Even though Emperor Hun Tian’s strength had skyrocketed, as long as he still wanted to break through to Emperor Dou, then his chance would come.
Emperor Hun Tian wanted to use this to break through to become Emperor Dou, and so did Yao Yan. Compared to inheriting the power of Emperor Tuoshe, the path of Emperor Dan was obviously more suitable for him. He could even use the power of the living beings slaughtered by Emperor Hun Tian to increase the power of evil spirits.
Just as Yao Yan guessed, Emperor Hun Tian would not be satisfied with the half-emperor level of cultivation. He has always had only one goal, and that is to become a true Dou Emperor!
"Are you ready?!" Emperor Hun Tian looked at Void Devouring Flame, his tone slightly condensed, and spoke slowly.
Hearing the tone of commanding subordinates, Xuwu Tunyan felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he and Emperor Hun Tian had always been in a cooperative relationship rather than a superior-subordinate relationship. However, as Emperor Hun Tian swallowed the Emperor-grade Embryo Pill, the relationship between the two naturally underwent some subtle changes.
He pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Everything is ready, just waiting for you to activate the formation."
"Then let's begin!" A scarlet light flashed in Emperor Hun Tian's eyes, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body. As he formed seals with his hands, the entire sea of blood was filled with huge waves, and terrifying array patterns spread throughout the air, as if they were imprinted in the void.
At the same time, the entire Zhongzhou began to tremble, and this scene instantly alarmed Gu Yuan and others.
As they watched, a pitch-black halo appeared in the sky above Zhongzhou. It was like a key to unlock an array formation. As it slowly spread, the energy of heaven and earth in Zhongzhou began to boil, as if being pulled by something.
This scene made everyone in Zhongzhou look horrified.
As the energy of the entire Zhongzhou gathered towards the position of the aperture and as the space vibrated, an incomparably huge black medicine cauldron was hooked out from the void. The cauldron was so large that it directly covered the entire Zhongzhou.
“This!” Gu Yuan saw this scene, his body trembled, his fists clenched, and his voice became extremely low: “Did Yao Yan fail? Emperor Hun Tian has completed the initial fusion with the Emperor Grade Young Pill. Now, he wants to use Zhongzhou as the cauldron, the living beings as the material, the heaven and earth as the fire, and the body as the pill… He wants to refine the Emperor Grade Young Pill into a real Emperor Pill, and use it to break through to the Dou Emperor!!”
“It won’t really fail, will it?!” Zhu Kun’s face also turned a little ugly. He was most worried that Yao Yan would not only fail, but he would also be trapped. Then it would be really over.
As for the inheritance of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, he and Gu Yuan have already worked together to move it out, but the two of them have no way to activate the inheritance and can only stare at the stone statue in a daze. Just as he had guessed before, the inheritance of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor can only be inherited by people related to the strange fire, and other people have no such opportunity at all.
Perhaps the inheritance was originally prepared for Void Devouring Flame and Pure Lotus Demon Fire...
After all, to Emperor Tushe, the strange fire is his own family.
Zhongzhou was also in chaos at this moment. Everyone looked at the huge light tripod that covered the entire Zhongzhou with anxiety. Some Fighting Saints even found that the entire space of Zhongzhou was blocked, and even with the power of a Fighting Saint, they could not tear it apart by force.
Today's Zhongzhou seems to have become a huge cage.
Such things immediately made many people feel uneasy, and an atmosphere of despair enveloped the place.
Half a day after the light tripod appeared, a black light suddenly emerged from the distant sky, and then, under the gaze of countless people, overwhelming black beams of light burst out. These beams were like spider webs, forming an enormous formation in the sky. After this formation appeared, a figure with long hair appeared in the center of the formation.
"Emperor Soul!"
The moment they saw this figure, Gu Yuan and others' pupils shrank slightly, and their eyes were fixed on that figure.
"Gu Yuan, do you regret not promising to cooperate with me that day?"
In the great formation, a gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds and shoot towards somewhere in Zhongzhou. A faint voice resounded over the entire Zhongzhou, carrying with it an extremely terrifying aura of oppression.
Feeling this pressure, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun fell silent, as if they didn't know what to say.
"After a thousand years of planning, the day has finally come... I am the winner in the end..."
As Emperor Hun Tian finished speaking, dark beams of light suddenly burst out from the huge formation covering Zhongzhou. These energy beams shot directly into the ground in various places in Zhongzhou.
"Boom!"
The beam of light fell on the ground, and the entire Zhongzhou seemed to be shaking violently as if an earthquake had occurred at this moment.
……
Somewhere in Zhongzhou, there is a large city standing on the plain. It is bustling with people and traffic, creating a lively scene.
However, this lively scene did not last long. As the earth trembled, huge cracks spread from the center of the city. This scene instantly shocked many powerful people and made them fly into the air. But before they could react, a black beam of light suddenly broke out of the ground and enveloped the entire city.
"Bang bang bang!"
Under the cover of the black light column, the figures in the city suddenly exploded and turned into flesh and blood.
Even Dou Zong-level warriors could not resist the erosion of these lights at this moment. They exploded directly like ants. This sudden change also made everyone in the city sluggish. Looking at those figures that even exploded into a ball of blood mist beside them, a deep fear quickly surged from their hearts. There was no need to say more. The city quickly started a riot, and everyone fled madly towards the city gate.
But the black light column spread even faster, and in almost the blink of an eye, it turned the entire city into a sea of blood. Streams of blood-colored air rose up along with the light column, and finally turned into blood-colored light columns, rushing up to the sky and sweeping into the huge formation that covered Zhongzhou.
A flash of blood appeared, and the black light dissipated, leaving behind a disgusting mess.
……
At the same time, the scene of this city was being played out all over Zhongzhou. The towns that were massacred were all important transportation routes and cities with extremely large populations. For a time, the rich smell of blood almost filled the entire sky of Zhongzhou, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Fear and despair enveloped the entire Zhongzhou.
……
"boom!"
Gu Yuan uncovered a city that was destroyed by a black beam of light. Following a huge crack, he soon found a dark red formation diagram underground. It was filled with white bones, and an extremely dense and sinister aura rose straight into the sky.
The moment he saw the formation, Gu Yuan's face became extremely ugly. He finally understood why the Soul Clan created the Soul Palace. The so-called collecting souls was only part of it. The more important reason was to collect flesh, blood, and bones to set up these formations.
"Soul-Devouring Life-Destroying Formation." Zhu Kun recognized the origin of this formation and showed a look of surprise.
After all, this formation was a taboo in their era, because it was too cruel and vicious, and could turn all living beings within its coverage area into blood foam and forcibly extract energy from the blood.
Therefore, it was targeted tens of thousands of years ago, and the recorded content and related people were forcibly destroyed.
I didn't expect it to appear again today.
"With the support of this formation, Emperor Hun Tian's plan may really succeed!" Gu Yuan said in a low voice.
Zhu Kun was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Do you think this is also part of that kid's plan? If it was just for the Imperial Grade Young Pill, Yao Yan obviously wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. He might have known the Soul Clan's plan a long time ago, and he's using their tricks against him... After all, refining the Imperial Pill also requires an alchemist!"
"You mean, Yao Yan's target is also the Emperor Pill?!" Gu Yuan's eyes flickered, and a hint of shock and disbelief appeared in his eyes. He once again realized that he knew too little about Yao Yan.
"Nine out of ten." Zhu Kun said in a deep voice.
Although he had not been in contact with Yao Yan for a long time, he had learned a lot about Yao Yan from Zi Yan, and therefore, knew this boy's style of doing things!
Gu Yuan looked at the medicine cauldron that covered the entire Zhongzhou and remained silent. If all this was part of Yao Yan's plan, then this guy's scheming was terrifying. And with such a cold-blooded character, he really deserved to be a member of the Soul Clan! !
……
Blood sea space.
Yao Yan looked at the blood-colored light pillars that continued to gather from Zhongzhou, feeling the energy that was constantly surging here, his eyes flashed slightly. If he collected at this rate, it would not take long to gather enough energy to refine the Emperor Pill. The only thing he needed to worry about was whether the population of Zhongzhou could withstand such a consumption rate.
"It's up to you next. Your teacher Hunxuzi should have taught you how to make elixirs with humans." Emperor Huntian's eyes slowly fell on Yao Yan and said softly.
This is what I've been waiting for... Yao Yan's eyes moved slightly and he nodded slowly. As he formed seals with his hands, the soul power belonging to the emperor level between his eyebrows gradually surged out. He began to take over the work of Emperor Hun Tian, controlling the entire formation for him and carrying out the next steps of refining the emperor pill. Emperor Hun Tian needed to balance the energy in his body during this period of time so that his emperor-grade embryonic pill could become a real emperor pill.
The process of taking over went extremely smoothly, and soon the formation was under the control of Yao Yan. However, the position of the center of the formation was still controlled by Emperor Hun Tian. It was obvious that he did not completely trust Yao Yan, and was just using him now.
"Boom~"
As Yao Yan's mind moved slightly, the energy of the entire sea of blood began to converge towards the central blood pool. At the same time, the situation inside Emperor Hun Tian's body also came into his sight as he released his mind. A bright ball of light was flashing dazzlingly in the position of his dantian. This imperial-grade embryonic pill had already been initially integrated with Emperor Hun Tian's dantian.
According to Emperor Hun Tian's request, at this moment he needs to use the energy of the sea of blood to refine this emperor-grade embryo pill into a real emperor pill. By taking this opportunity, Emperor Hun Tian will also become a real Dou Emperor.
"Wow~"
Waves of energy that were enough to strike fear into the heart of a Douluo Saint continuously poured into the blood pool. As they were poured into Emperor Hun Tian's body, his body gradually began to grow stronger as the energy washed over him. All of this energy then poured into the Emperor Grade Young Pill, adding a hint of blood color to its originally dazzling light.
That was the impact caused by the resentment of living beings, but these slight impacts were insignificant compared to the opportunity to become an emperor.
At this moment, Emperor Hun Tian's body was like a black hole, accepting everything that came and devouring the vast energy that surged in, trying to fill up the Emperor Grade Young Pill in his body. As time passed, a blood-red lotus seemed to emerge around his body, wrapping him up completely.
Seeing Emperor Hun Tian entering a deep state of seclusion, Xuwu Tunyan also looked at Yao Yan, as if reminding Yao Yan not to forget about the 'additional ingredients'.
Yao Yan glanced at the other party, but turned a deaf ear to him and continued to assist Emperor Hun Tian in breaking into Emperor Dou.
"Damn human boy!" Xuwu Tunyan became more and more impatient as he looked at Yao Yan who ignored him. He knew that humans could not be trusted. Once Emperor Hun Tian stepped into the level of Emperor Dou and he had no means to counterattack, he would inevitably become the other party's prey.
This was not the result he wanted.
"It seems that I have to come here myself!" Black flames flashed in Xuwu Tunyan's eyes. Looking at Emperor Hun Tian who was completely in seclusion, he planned to take action against Yao Yan and completely control this disobedient chess piece in his hands.
Almost at the same time.
The wisp of Emperor Fire in Yao Yan's body that had not yet been completely killed revived, and streams of black flames continued to pour out of his body, as if connected to the body of the Void Devouring Flame. In just a few breaths, it spread out.
"Finally it's happening..." Yao Yan felt the changes in his body, a smile flashed across his lips, and the next moment, a stream of milky white nightmare mist emerged in his body, and began to construct a scene that Xuwu Tunyan wanted to see. (End of this chapter)
