Signing in while in Qian Renxue's arms, becoming the main villain of Douluo Continent.

Chapter 709 Origin Emperor Qi
At this moment, the Soul Emperor sat cross-legged in the medicine cauldron with his upper body naked. The terrifying cracks that had appeared on his body had healed, and in their place were strange blood-red runes!

His once jet-black hair had turned blood red, and his eyes were filled with a chilling and eerie aura.

"That guy has completely fused with the Emperor-grade embryonic core..."

Gu Yuan's expression was extremely solemn. He could clearly sense that the aura of the current Soul Emperor had reached the half-step Dou Di realm, and was even stronger than the original Emperor-grade embryonic pill!
"Next, I will use the Central Plains as the cauldron, living beings as the ingredients, heaven and earth as the fire, and my own body as the pill... to refine the Emperor-grade embryonic pill into a true Emperor-grade pill!"

"I can give you another chance, Gu Yuan. If you had agreed to cooperate with me before, I could have helped you after I became a Dou Di, and we would have been equals. But now you are no longer qualified. If you submit to me, I may spare your life and even preserve the bloodline of the Gu clan..."

"As for the two of you, I am about to become a Dou Di and I still need a mount. Since you can both transform into dragons, it couldn't be better..."

The Soul Emperor stared at Lin Fan and the other two with a cold and mocking gaze, and spoke with a smile.

"Soul Emperor, let alone your current state, even if you were to truly reach the Dou Di realm, would you be qualified to become my master!"

Zhu Kun snorted, his booming voice carrying through the boundless battle qi, clearly reaching everyone's ears. Although Lin Fan and Gu Yuan didn't speak, their expressions gave the answer.

"Hahaha, interesting. It would be rather boring if you surrendered so easily. Now you can quietly await the moment I become emperor... Sometimes, the torment of waiting for death is far more agonizing than a quick death..."

After coldly uttering a sentence, the Soul Emperor's hand seals changed rapidly. The black light shield that covered most of the Central Continent suddenly extended strange black runes. Immediately afterwards, screams of unimaginable agony came from all over the Central Continent!

One after another, figures suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, including some demonic beasts. Their flesh and energy transformed into a dark red light, which gathered in the array above the light and then entered the medicine cauldron to be absorbed by the Soul Emperor.

The entire Central Plains was gripped by fear and shrouded in an atmosphere of extreme terror.

At this moment, Lin Fan's expression also darkened considerably. Although all his relatives were safe and sound in the Divine Might Space, the deaths of so many of his kind still made him feel uneasy.

It must be said that the Soul Emperor is truly a ruthless and ambitious man. He can disregard human ethics and stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

"Let's work together to break the medicine cauldron!"

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously. Two incredibly powerful chains of battle qi suddenly blasted out and landed heavily on the energy cauldron!
Boom boom!

A terrifying explosion resounded, and the attacks from the two peak nine-star Dou Sheng experts only caused a few energy ripples on the surface. It didn't even crack, let alone shatter.

"It seems we have no choice but to use the last method..."

Zhu Kun struggled for a moment before turning his gaze to Lin Fan.

"Let's go."

Lin Fan understood immediately. With the spatial fluctuations, he brought Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun to the Divine Might Space. In front of them was the Strange Fire Plaza and the stone statue of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

"Could these things possibly be able to fight against the Soul Emperor?!"

Gu Yuan frowned; he hadn't expected Lin Fan to bring all of these things back.

"Indeed, judging from the current situation, it's only a matter of time before Soul Emperor successfully refines the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. At that time, he will definitely be able to reach the Dou Di realm!" "Our only way out right now is to create another Dou Di to contend with him, and the key lies within this stone statue!"

Zhu Kun let out a long breath and spoke.

"it's here?!"

Gu Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. As for Lin Fan, he already knew this secret, so he didn't show too much surprise.

"That's right. The reason why no Dou Di powerhouse has appeared in this world since the ancient emperor Tuoshe is not because of the cultivators, but because the original emperor energy on the Dou Qi Continent has been exhausted, making it difficult to support anyone to break through to Dou Di!"

"And what is stored within this stone statue is the primordial imperial energy, but its quantity is only enough for one person to break through to the Dou Di realm..."

Zhu Kun explained that he had lived for over 100,000 years and naturally knew some ancient secrets.

"Really?"

Gu Yuan looked somewhat excited. The stone statue in front of him was equally tempting. Having remained at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm for over a thousand years, it would be a lie to say he didn't want to enter the Dou Di realm!
"Well, to obtain the primordial imperial energy within, one needs the approval of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, but I don't have that blessing. Now it's up to the two of you..."

A self-deprecating bitter smile appeared on Zhu Kun's lips. After Lin Fan retrieved the stone statue, he had entered the Divine Might Space to study it many times, but no matter what he tried, he was only met with a bounce.

Lin Fan and Gu Yuan exchanged a glance and nodded. Then Gu Yuan took the lead and stepped in front of the stone statue, reaching out his palm to slowly touch it!
As his palm pulsed with fighting spirit, a tremendous repulsive force was generated the instant it touched the stone statue, sending Gu Yuan flying over a hundred meters away!
"Looks like my luck isn't so good after all..."

Gu Yuan shook his head in disappointment. This kind of plot, which gives you hope and then plunges you into despair, is really hard to accept.

"Good son-in-law, now it's all up to you."

"The true form of Emperor Tuoshe was actually a kind of strange fire. He only cultivated to the Dou Di realm after seizing the creation of heaven and earth. Your Ancestral Dragon body can also accommodate multiple strange fires at the same time, so you should be the only candidate to inherit his legacy!"

Zhu Kun stepped forward and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, revealing the background of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, which shocked everyone!

To everyone's utter surprise, the last Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent was not a human or a magical beast, but a strange fire!

After a brief silence, all the high-ranking members of the alliance turned their hopeful eyes to Lin Fan!
Besides Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, Lin Fan is the strongest among them, but in terms of cultivation talent, no one in the entire Dou Qi Continent can compare to him.

In addition to his affinity with the strange fire, if he couldn't pass the selection of Emperor Tuoshe, then no one else would be able to!

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lin Fan nodded, then approached the stone statue step by step, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Even he himself was unsure whether he could gain the approval of Thoshkuh!

Lin Fan stopped in front of the stone statue, took a deep breath, and placed his palm on it!
