I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

The vast world, the Dou Qi Continent.

The former prosperity is gone, and the land is scarred and marked by fierce battles, making the continent appear riddled with holes.

The demonic calamity also descended upon the lower planes, specifically upon the homeland of Mo Yu and Xiao Yan—the Dou Qi Continent, renowned throughout the Great Thousand Worlds for giving birth to the Thunder Emperor and the Flame Emperor.

Faced with the raging demonic calamity, the various forces on the Dou Qi Continent suffered repeated defeats, and finally managed to gather together to form several strongholds to jointly fight against the demonic calamity.

However, the demonic calamity on the Northern Cang Continent is particularly severe, and the strength of the extraterrestrial evil races is even more formidable. Therefore, even with the gathering of many forces, the situation remains far from optimistic.

Canaan College is one of these gathering points.

……

Canaan College.

This once peaceful and tranquil university is now shrouded in the shadow of war.

In the sky, a huge black rift stretched for thousands of miles, and the demonic energy surging from it stained the azure sky like ink.

Countless ferocious extraterrestrial demons swarmed out from the rift, leaving devastation and suffering wherever they went.

This is the third month since the demonic calamity spread to the Dou Qi Continent.

As the most prestigious academy on the continent, Canaan Academy is no longer the peaceful place that only taught battle qi.

The inner court elders immediately activated the protective array, and ancient runes flowed across the sky above the academy, forming a pale golden light shield.

However, this formation, which has been passed down for thousands of years, now appears to be on the verge of collapse.

In the academy square, powerful individuals from all over the continent gathered.

The top experts from the Gama Empire, the Izumo Empire, the Luoyan Empire, and countless other forces gathered here. Their faces were solemn, but their eyes burned with an indomitable flame.

In the center of the square, an elderly man with white hair stood with his hands behind his back.

He was dressed in a gray robe, with a gaunt face and deep, unfathomable eyes. He was none other than Su Qian, the Grand Elder of Canaan Academy.

Although he was old, he stood up straight, like the ancient pine tree on the back hill of the academy.

Beside Su Qian, an old man in a blue robe squinted slightly, holding a long sword that was entirely ice blue in his hand.

He was none other than Haibodong, the Ice Emperor of the Gama Empire.

The powerful figure who once rivaled the Snake-People Queen, Cai Lin, may now have white hair, but the sharpness in his eyes remains undiminished.

As Mo Yu and Xiao Yan entered the Great Thousand World, the dimensional passage between the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World was also fully opened.

As time went by, more and more powerful figures emerged on the Dou Qi Continent, but most of these powerful figures chose to enter the Great Thousand World and join the Thunder Prison and the Endless Fire Domain.

Given Hai Bodong's relationship with Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, he could have easily held a high-ranking position in either the Thunder Prison or the Endless Fire Domain, if he so desired.

However, Hai Bodong did not choose to do so. He was born and raised on the Dou Qi Continent and has a deep affection for this land.

Therefore, even though Mo Yu and Xiao Yan invited him many times, Hai Bodong declined repeatedly and chose to stay in Dou Qi Continent to live a life of retirement.

Although Hai Bodong rejected Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, with Mo Yu's friendly help, his strength increased day by day. He not only advanced to the Dou Di level and earned the title of Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, but also advanced to the Earth Supreme level several years ago with his remarkable talent, becoming one of the top experts in the Dou Qi Continent.

"Old man Su Qian, how long can this protective formation last?" At this moment, Hai Bodong looked solemnly at the dark, devilish sky and asked in a hoarse voice.

Su Qian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If it's just ordinary demon soldiers from the extraterrestrial evil race, we'll be fine for three months. But if those Demon Emperor-level beings make a move... I'm afraid it will take less than half a month."

Hai Bodong snorted coldly, his sword tip touching the ground, exuding a chilling aura, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"Half a month is enough. I'd rather die here than let the Dou Qi Continent be destroyed in our hands."

Behind them were several familiar figures.

The Xiao family's representative in the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan's elder brother Xiao Ding, the Snake-People Clan elder Yue Mei with a graceful and alluring figure, and Jia Xingtian, the royal guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, with white hair but undiminished fighting spirit...
These are the strongest experts on the Dou Qi Continent today. Although they did not choose to enter the Great Thousand World, most of them have advanced to the Earthly Supreme level by taking advantage of the relationship between Thunder Prison and Endless Fire Domain.

However, even they felt powerless in the face of the overwhelming evil races from beyond the realm.

"Elder!" A young voice rang out, and a young man dressed in the uniform of Canaan Academy ran over quickly. He was a member of the most powerful force in the inner academy, a powerful figure from the Mo Sect.

"News has come from the front lines: the Black Corner Region has been corrupted by demonic energy, and countless powerful figures have all...all..."

He couldn't continue; his eyes were red and swollen.

The square was deathly silent.

Black Corner is the gateway to Canaan Academy. Decades ago, due to its unique terrain, it became the most chaotic place in the Northwest Continent, where countless forces stirred up bloodshed.

This place is home to countless escaped powerhouses from the Northwest Continent. The law of the jungle prevails, and there are no laws or moral constraints. Even Canaan Academy was helpless against it for a time. In fact, the Medicine Emperor Han Feng once seized the opportunity to rally many powerhouses from the Black Corner Region to attack the academy and seize the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, this situation changed decades ago.

This was all because a prodigy student had appeared at Canaan Academy at that time: Lei Di Mo Yu!

With Mo Yu's sudden emergence, Canaan Academy suppressed and completely wiped out many forces in the Black Corner Region, changing the chaotic situation of the past.

Since then, Black Corner has become an extension of Canaan Academy and an essential route for countless Canaan students when they first enter the academy, thus carrying the youthful memories of many.

Now, however, it has become a dead land, which makes countless teachers and students of Canaan Academy present feel a deep sense of sorrow.

Su Qian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"Children, are you scared?"

He turned around and glanced at the young students in the square.

Many of them were only teenagers, yet they had already taken up arms, donned armor, and prepared to fight to the death against enemies a hundred times stronger than themselves.

"We are not afraid!" a young student shouted, his voice still trembling, but incredibly firm: "We will protect Canaan Academy! We will protect the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Yes! Protect Canaan Academy! Protect the Dou Qi Continent!" More voices rang out, converging into a torrent.

Su Qian's eyes welled up slightly. He looked up, gazing towards the direction of the back mountain of the academy.

There are two huge stone statues there, one holding a ruler, its body covered with lifelike fire-carved patterns.

Another statue stands with its hands behind its back, gazing at the sky, its robes fluttering, with what appears to be a thunderous roar behind it. Though merely a statue, it seems to possess an aura that can suppress all ages.

Those are Emperor Yan Xiao Yan and Emperor Lei Mo Yu!
Two of the most outstanding students in the history of Canaan College.

One became the Flame Emperor, who shook the entire world; the other became the Thunder Emperor, who aweed the entire world.

They emerged from this academy, rose from this continent, and ultimately stood at the pinnacle of the world.

Mo Yu and Xiao Yan are undoubtedly the spiritual idols and supreme pride of the billions of living beings on the Dou Qi Continent and countless students of Canaan Academy!

However, even though they live in the vast world, they are still fighting a bloody battle against the evil races from beyond the realm.

The Dou Qi Continent is just one of countless lower planes affected by the demonic calamity. There are no Saint-level experts here, and even the Heavenly Sovereigns are legendary beings.

The Dou Di here would be nothing more than an ant in the Supreme Realm in the Great Thousand World.

What they faced was an extraterrestrial evil race that even a Saint-level Heavenly Supreme had to deal with with caution.

"Elder, do we... really still have hope?" some of the young students asked in low voices, their voices filled with despair.

Su Qian did not answer. He looked at the two stone statues and remained silent for a long time.

"Children, do you know the origin of those two stone statues?" he suddenly asked, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Everyone nodded, then looked up, their eyes filled with respect and admiration.

As renowned figures in the Dou Qi Continent, the names of the Thunder Emperor and the Flame Emperor are known to every household.

"Those are Xiao Yan and Mo Yu, students of our Canaan Academy," Elder Su Qian said slowly, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

The students below, though they already knew the story of Mo Yu and Xiao Yan by heart, were still listening intently to Elder Su Qian's speech.

For the students of Canaan Academy, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan are undoubtedly god-like figures.

Like many other students present, the two were once students of Canaan Academy, but they rose from humble beginnings to become Dou Di, breaking the millennia-old shackles of the Dou Qi Continent. Now they are the strongest in the Great Thousand World!
“A hundred years ago, they were students of Canaan Academy, just like you. Back then, they also struggled with bottlenecks in their cultivation and were so nervous before exams that they couldn’t sleep.”

"They weren't born at the top; they got to where they are today step by step, with sweat and blood."

Elder Su Qian recounted the story of Mo Yu and Xiao Yan at Canaan Academy, then turned around and glanced at each of the young students.

"When Mo Yu and Xiao Yan left Dou Qi Continent, they said something to us."

They said, "Canaan College will always be my home. Wherever I go, I will always come back if my home needs me."

"I believe in him."

Hai Bodong also spoke up, his voice hoarse but firm: "Those two lads, I watched them grow up."

Back in the Gama Empire, they risked their lives to protect their families. Would such people abandon their homes?

Xiao Ding smiled and said, "Yes, although my third brother and cousin Yu are gone, their souls remain here."

Jia Xingtian sighed and chuckled, "I've lived for so many years, what haven't I seen? But those two have never disappointed me."

"They will definitely show up."

The one who spoke was a beautiful woman in green, and at that moment, a resolute look flashed across her pretty and gentle face.

The beautiful woman in green was none other than Ruolin, the instructor who had taken Mo Yu and Xiao Yan into Canaan Academy.

Perhaps it was with the passage of time that Instructor Ruolin had become much more gentle and graceful. Her eyes were filled with a soft gaze, like a clear stream flowing quietly through one's heart, making one unable to help but be captivated by the unique gentleness and charm of a woman.

Time has not left any marks on her face. On the contrary, her full and exquisite figure exudes a mature charm honed by the years. This natural charm is far beyond what some inexperienced female students can match.

At this moment, the image of those two handsome young men, full of vigor and confidence, in Wutan City many years ago, came to mind.

Both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan maintained strong self-confidence and never backed down no matter what enemy they faced.

Back then, it was precisely because of Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's infectious confidence that they were granted such a long vacation as an exception...

Therefore, she believed that no matter how many hardships Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had gone through over the years, they would never change.

The two of them will surely appear, and when they do, perhaps the entire world will take notice... (End of Chapter)
