Chapter 712 Becoming Emperor
"I'm sorry to you all. If I had been able to swallow my pride and kneel before Emperor Tuoshe just now, perhaps he would have chosen me as his successor..."

Lin Fan spoke with a wry smile.

"No, that's not true! In our hearts, our husband has always been a pillar of strength, and he would never kneel before anyone!"

"Exactly! So what if he's a Dou Di? It would be more contemptible of us if my husband did that!"

All the concubines spoke up.

"There's no use regretting it now; we can only think of other solutions..."

Lin Fan shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

"Why don't we leave here first and discuss a plan with Father and the others?"

Xun'er made the suggestion.

“No, the stone statue inheritance is the last chance. If my father-in-law and the others had other methods, they would have said so already. Going out now will only create panic and won’t do any good.”

Lin Fan immediately shook his head and rejected the suggestion. The Soul Emperor alone was already a headache, and now with Xiao Yan added to the mix, if this news got out, everyone would probably collapse!

"What should we do now?"

The many concubines were at a loss. Although they were not afraid of death, it was clear that they longed to live with Lin Fan forever!
"I can only refine pills to improve my strength for now..."

Because time flows more slowly inside the Heavenly Tomb than outside, Lin Fan did not go out. The stone statue of Emperor Tuoshe was already closed to the outside world, and with Lin Fan's current strength, he had no way to force it open.

After calming himself down, he took out most of the precious medicinal herbs he had stored. They floated in the air like stars, their refreshing fragrance spreading far and wide.

Lin Fan adjusted his physical condition to its best and then began the long refining process.

After nearly a month of painstaking refining, the first Grade 1 Golden Pill was successfully produced. To ensure that the pill was female, Lin Fan added menstrual blood from his harem as an ingredient beforehand, and the result did not disappoint him.

The ninth-grade golden pill he refined reached the level of an early-stage eight-star Dou Sheng, and was even stronger than Lin Fan in terms of cultivation realm. Of course, his actual combat power was not comparable to Lin Fan's.

Lin Fan named this golden elixir Zhaojun. Due to the time constraints, there was no time to cultivate their relationship, so they immediately engaged in dual cultivation for a day and a night.

Lin Fan's strength broke through from the late stage of the six-star Dou Sheng to the mid stage of the seven-star Dou Sheng. If a normal person wanted to achieve such a leap, he would have to cultivate hard for at least several decades. But for now, Lin Fan is still not satisfied with this improvement, because he may very well face two Dou Di at the same time in the near future!

After completing the dual cultivation, Lin Fan spent two days consolidating his strength before starting the second refining process.

With his cultivation level and soul power both improved, Lin Fan spent another month successfully refining his second Rank 2 Golden Pill. This Golden Pill was at the mid-stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm. Lin Fan named it Yu Huan, and with that, the four beauties were finally all gathered together.

After Lin Fan cultivated with Yu Huan again, his cultivation level jumped from the mid-stage of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng level. Although he was only at the early stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng, Lin Fan felt that his combat power had surpassed that of Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan. When he went all out, he could even fight against a powerhouse at the half-step Dou Di level!
"There's no turning back now. I'll stay with you all from now on, and I won't have any regrets no matter what the final outcome is."

Lin Fan's face was full of tenderness as he embraced his many concubines one by one. He no longer had any precious medicinal herbs to refine pills, so he decided to spend the rest of his time cultivating with his concubines. This would not only help him consolidate his strength but also serve as a final celebration!
This cultivation was quite insane. Lin Fan also summoned his two clones, who, surrounded by his many concubines, mingled together in a chaotic and dark atmosphere, which lasted for nearly two months!
While Lin Fan was wreaking havoc within the Heavenly Tomb, the outside world was engulfed in chaos and turmoil.

At this moment, the Soul Emperor sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, his blood-red hair flowing down, surrounded by a red cloud of mist, and exuding a strong, rich stench of blood, like a demon god descended to earth. Every moment, people from all over the Central Continent were directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which then turned into blood-colored energy and was absorbed into the blood cloud as nourishment for the Soul Emperor.

Of course, there was one place that was spared: the Alliance headquarters.

Because of the presence of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, the headquarters was protected by a powerful energy barrier, which completely isolated the effects of the formation.

In this situation, more and more people began to flock to the Alliance. On the surface, it seemed lively, but everyone's heart was heavy, and the shadow of the apocalypse loomed over everyone.

At the center of the formation, the Soul Emperor remained calm and composed. While refining the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, he also kept an eye on the movements within the alliance. The fear of death faced by those people stimulated him like an adrenaline, filling the Soul Emperor's heart with pleasure and anticipation!

He is getting closer and closer to the legendary Dou Di realm!
As time passed, the blood-red clouds gathering in the sky grew increasingly dense.

At a certain moment, a black flame ignited within the blood-red clouds, and the figure of Void Devouring Flame appeared behind the Soul Emperor.

"What's going on... Logically speaking, the Emperor-grade embryonic core should have been refined by now..."

Void Devouring Flame frowned slightly, muttering something under his breath with a puzzled expression.

"You guessed right, I reached the Dou Di realm half a month ago..."

The Soul Emperor, who seemed to have no breath and whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly spoke and then slowly opened his eyes.

"I see... then congratulations!"

Void Devouring Flame's lips twitched. He suddenly had a bad feeling and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Today is the day I, the Soul Emperor, am to be crowned Emperor. However, I am still missing a primordial flame to achieve my imperial status. I will bestow this honor upon you!"

A meaningful smile appeared on the lips of the Soul Emperor. Then, he grabbed at the air with his hand, and the space where the Void Devouring Flame was located quickly solidified, making it completely unable to move!

"I have already tampered with the bloodlines of many members of the Soul Clan. Once I die, they will all be buried with me!"

The Void Devouring Flame looked fearful and said in a fierce but cowardly tone.

"Heh, do you really think I don't know your little tricks? Now that I've become a Dou Di, I can have as many powerful offspring as I want. As long as I exist, the Soul Clan will not collapse. Your threats are useless against me. Just accept your fate!"

A cold smile appeared on the lips of the Soul Emperor. Then, he slowly clenched his fist. The Void Devouring Flame, whose strength had reached the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng and whose soul was at the Emperor Realm, had no power to resist. Its body exploded with a bang and turned into a wisp of black flame, which was directly swallowed into the Soul Emperor's stomach!

"Next, it's time to deal with those ants!"

The Soul Emperor slowly rose from the blood-red clouds, his eyes shining as he stared at the location of the Sky-Breaking Alliance not far away!
