Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 308 The Three Immortal Tribulations and Dou Eqing's Past and Present Lives

Just as Li Chunlong was frantically devouring the nation's fortune and forcibly transforming into an immortal body, triggering a surge in the power of the immortal tribulation, a resolute and insane glint flashed in Dou Eqing's eyes.

He realized that conventional methods were no longer sufficient to stop a being on the verge of becoming an immortal; extraordinary measures were necessary!

His gaze fell upon Yang Yang, Yang Yang, Shui Yunxian, and Yang Yunhuan beside him.

"The time has come!"

Dou Eqing's voice carried an undeniable seductive power, resonating in the minds of the four women: "Li Chunlong is defying the heavens, using the nation's destiny to forge his immortal foundation. At this moment, the immortal tribulation is at its strongest, which is also when he is most vulnerable and least able to concentrate! This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!"

He quickly pointed out the key point:
"Firstly, at this moment, by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Demon Body, you can trigger your own Immortal Tribulation, which is a shortcut to becoming an immortal! The Heavenly Demon Body gathers the essence of many divine souls, which is enough to bear and share the power of the Immortal Tribulation."

"Secondly, with Li Chunlong, a quasi-immortal, in front, his tribulation will attract most of the Heavenly Dao's 'attention.' The tribulations we trigger from the side will be far less powerful than normal, like small ripples beside a giant wave! Let him withstand the most intense impact for us, and we can easily pass our tribulations!"

This argument is extremely tempting.

Becoming an immortal is the ultimate dream of every cultivator, and Dou Eqing actually interpreted the seemingly hopeless situation as a shortcut with greatly reduced risks!

The Yang sisters exchanged a glance; they had the deepest bond with Dou Eqing and the strongest trust in him.

Shui Yunxian had already staked her future on Dou Eqing. Although she felt it was risky, she also knew that this was the only chance to quickly gain the power to contend with Li Xiaochun.

As a prospective fairy maiden, Yang Yunhuan craves power and status; how could she miss such an opportunity?

The four women hesitated for only a moment before nodding in unison, their eyes becoming firm!
"Good! Soul Fusion!"

Dou Eqing shouted loudly, and his Divine Soul Demon Body suddenly manifested, radiating a vast soul light, and actively accepting the divine soul origins of the four women.

Yang Yang, Yang Yang, Shui Yunxian, and Yang Yunhuan opened their minds and transformed into four dazzling streams of light, merging into the massive demonic body without reservation!

The aura of the Heavenly Demon Body surged once again. Its internal structure became more complex and profound due to the integration of the four powerful female cultivators. An aura that could draw upon the laws of heaven and desire to transcend the mortal realm and become an immortal was uncontrollably released!
However, just as Dou Eqing was preparing to unleash the full power of this "composite immortal tribulation," a clear and resolute voice rang out:

"Wait! Include me too!"

The one who spoke was none other than Luo Damei!
She had been observing coldly, but now she took the initiative to step forward, her beautiful eyes flashing with a light of reason and wildness.

She looked at Dou Eqing, her tone resolute:
"The four of them merged together. Although the Heavenly Demon Body was strong, the outcome against Li Chunlong, who was undergoing a transformation, was still uncertain."

If we add myself, a peak-level king, to this, the combat power of my Divine Soul Demon Body will truly be no weaker than Li Chunlong, a quasi-immortal! The success rate will undoubtedly increase significantly!

She slightly raised her chin, revealing a hint of the arrogance that belonged to the Phoenix:

“You’re right, this is indeed a shortcut to immortality. The risks are great, but the opportunities are even greater. I’m not willing to miss this opportunity! I’m determined to wade into these muddy waters!”

Luo Damei's initiative to join the party was unexpected by Dou Eqing, but it was undoubtedly a timely help!

The entire divine soul essence of a peak king is far more valuable than the combined value of the previous four women!
Dou Eqing gave her a deep look, said nothing, and simply nodded emphatically:

"Great! You're very welcome!"

The Heavenly Demon opened its arms wide, and Luo Damei transformed into a noble and powerful purple soul light, resolutely merging into it!
The Divine Soul Demon Body, which integrates the will of Dou Eqing, Luo Damei (the peak of the Tribulation Transcending King), Yang Yang, Yang Yang, Shui Yunxian, Yang Yunhuan, and the power of more than a dozen female cultivators who had previously undergone Tribulation Transcending, finally broke through a certain critical point, triggering the most violent reaction of the laws of heaven and earth!
"Boom—!!"

No longer relying on Li Chunlong's immortal tribulation, but a truly unprecedented composite immortal tribulation belonging to this "aggregate" has descended fiercely!
However, this newly formed celestial tribulation, imbued with a strange aura of fusion, did not gain independent power under Dou Eqing's precise control.

Instead, it was like a vicious venomous snake, twisting and roaring, rushing straight at Li Chunlong, who was undergoing a critical tribulation and had no time to spare for anything else!

Use the tribulation of immortals to fight the tribulation of immortals!
The tribulations of two quasi-immortal beings (Li Chunlong and the Divine Soul Demon Body) clashed violently atop this Immortal Tribulation Mountain!
The Heavenly Dao is enraged, the laws are in chaos, and the fate of the entire Kunlun Realm rests on this unprecedented and bizarre tribulation battle!
Su Muwan's safety became even more precarious amidst this destructive storm!
The world has lost its color, and all things have fallen silent!
The space where the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain is located has been transformed into a chaotic abyss of laws.

Li Chunlong's magnificent celestial tribulation, which gathered the fortune of an entire nation, and Dou Eqing's bizarre composite celestial tribulation, triggered by the divine soul demon body, were like two raging ancient dragons, fiercely clashing together!
This is not a simple clash of energy, but a collision of two completely different "Tao" and "rules".

Li Chunlong's celestial tribulation adheres to the righteous path, is based on the nation's destiny, and contains the will for order and rule. Thunder is like heavenly law, aiming to cleanse all disobedience.

The composite immortal tribulation of the divine soul and the demonic body is full of demonic characteristics of fusion, devouring, and transformation, and is also mixed with the yin and mutability brought by the many female divine soul origins, as well as a trace of evil that defies the heavenly order.

"Boom--!"

The collision of tribulation lightning was not only accompanied by deafening explosions, but also by countless Dao runes being created, destroyed, and annihilated in the void.

Golden orthodox celestial lightning eroded and tore apart the complex demonic tribulation interwoven with dark red, dark blue, and pale green, and the resulting energy storm instantly shredded away more than half of the Celestial Tribulation Divine Mountain!
If this place hadn't been a sacred site for tribulation prepared by Li Chunlong for thousands of years, protected by layers of ancient restrictions, it would probably have already sunk completely.

"Dou! Evil! Qing!"

At the heart of the celestial tribulation, came Li Chunlong's roar of shock and rage.

He never expected that Dou Eqing would be so crazy as to drag him into a situation ten times more dangerous by "riding the heavenly tribulation"!

Originally, he only needed to focus on dealing with his own immortal tribulation, but now he has to endure the double attack of immortal tribulations at the same time!
In particular, the strange power within the compound immortal tribulation constantly eroded his nascent immortal body and soul, making his transformation process extremely difficult and painful, and thus amplifying the backlash of the immortal tribulation!

Dou Eqing's side was also in a bad situation.

Although he skillfully redirected the main tribulation force to Li Chunlong, the aftershocks of the immortal tribulation and the backlash from the laws of heaven still caused his divine soul and demonic body to tremble violently, and his soul light to flicker unpredictably.

The women who merged with the Heavenly Demon's body, especially the newly joined Luo Da Mei, were under immense pressure. Their consciousnesses flickered like candles in the wind amidst the tribulation lightning, requiring extremely strong willpower to remain intact.

"Hold on! His tribulation is our shield, and also our whetstone!"

Dou Eqing's divine thoughts echoed within the Heavenly Demon's body, inspiring all those who merged with it: "Use his tribulation power to temper our souls and condense our immortal essence! This is the fastest path to immortality!"

This is a high-stakes gamble, a death feast dancing on the edge of a knife.

Both sides are racing against time to see who can first complete the final transformation under the crushing weight of the double immortal tribulation!

Just when things were at a stalemate and extremely dangerous, the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron, which had been forgotten in the corner, suddenly emitted a slight hum.

Su Muwan, who had been suppressed by the Immortal Tribulation and whose aura was weak, seemed to have been touched by some profound understanding under the impact of these two extremely opposing and mutually stimulating Immortal Tribulation laws, and her aura began to undergo mysterious changes...

The clash of the celestial tribulations not only determined the fates of Dou Eqing, Li Chunlong, and the women within the Heavenly Demon's body, but also unexpectedly brought Su Muwan a glimmer of hope and unknown variables.

The ultimate storm that swept through the entire Kunlun Realm, encompassing both righteous and demonic forces, is becoming increasingly unpredictable in its outcome.

Just as Dou Eqing was driving his Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body to clash wildly with Li Chunlong's National Fortune Immortal Tribulation, turning the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain into a wasteland of laws, the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron, which was suppressed in a corner by the rampant energy, was quietly undergoing an unknown change.

Inside the cauldron, Su Muwan's consciousness was nearly exhausted from maintaining the operation of the immortal cauldron with all her might, and was also suppressed by the terrifying pressure of the two immortal tribulations. She was like a small boat in a storm, which could capsize at any moment.

However, under this extreme pressure, amidst the fierce collision of these two completely different, yet both representing supreme power, immortal tribulation laws, she fell into a peculiar state of "enlightenment".

She no longer tried to forcefully resist the destructive energy from the outside world, but instead opened her mind and used the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron as a medium to carefully comprehend the intertwined immortal tribulation Dao rhythm.

Li Chunlong's immortal tribulation was domineering and majestic, containing the concepts of domination and order; Dou Eqing's complex immortal tribulation was unpredictable and full of devouring and fusion.

The two extreme forces tear each other apart and annihilate each other, yet to some extent they form a delicate, destructive "balance".

"A celestial body... does not necessarily have to be embodied in flesh and blood... all things have a spirit, and even vessels can possess the Dao..."

An unprecedented thought, like a flash of lightning in the darkness, illuminated Su Muwan's mind.

Having been with the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron for many years, their hearts and minds were already connected. At this moment, a sudden inspiration struck her, and she made an earth-shattering decision—to abandon the traditional path of forming an immortal body from a human form, and instead completely merge with the spirit of the immortal cauldron that had accompanied her for countless years, using the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron as her main body to embark on an unprecedented path of becoming an immortal!
"Spirit of the Cauldron, if we don't fuse now, when will we?"

With her remaining will, Su Muwan made a final call to the spirit of the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron.

The long-dormant spirit of the artifact was suddenly awakened by its master's resolute will and the stimulation of the violent immortal tribulation in the outside world!

There was no resistance, only a perfect, harmonious fit.

In the eye of this destructive storm, Su Muwan's soul and the origin of the artifact's spirit began their deepest fusion.

Her consciousness gradually became the dominant force of the artifact spirit, while the immortal cauldron itself began to transform into a "shell" that would bear her immortal laws.

This act of defying the heavens immediately triggered even deeper levels of the Heavenly Dao rules!
"Om-!"

The Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron suddenly trembled violently, bursting out with an unprecedentedly dazzling purple light. A massive purple divine lightning bolt, containing the dual meanings of "creation" and "destruction," was generated out of thin air, ignoring the chaotic immortal tribulation energy around it, and struck straight at the cauldron!

This is not a traditional immortal tribulation, but an immortal artifact lightning tribulation!

This is Heaven's punishment and test for those who "possess spiritual objects and vainly attempt to achieve immortality"!

The addition of this purple lightning tribulation made the already chaotic situation on Immortal Tribulation Mountain even more unpredictable.

It is no longer a two-horse race, but a strange situation of a three-way standoff has emerged:
1. Li Chunlong: He forged his immortal body with the nation's destiny and endured the dual pressures of the orthodox immortal tribulation and the composite immortal tribulation.

2. Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body: Gathering the power of all, it triggers a complex immortal tribulation, primarily attacking Li Chunlong, while also undergoing its own tribulation.

3. Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron (Su Muwan): It merges with the artifact spirit, triggering its own immortal artifact lightning tribulation, seeking transformation in the cracks.

The three lightning tribulations, each with a distinct nature, interfered with, collided with, and even occasionally merged in strange ways, producing changes that even the Heavenly Dao had not anticipated.

The entire Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain seemed to have become a giant furnace, forging three beings who were trying to transcend the mortal world.

Su Muwan's unconventional approach not only secured a glimmer of hope for herself but also unexpectedly stirred up the entire battle, adding the greatest variable to this ultimate showdown that would determine the fate of the Kunlun Realm!

Will she be able to achieve immortality through this artifact? What will be the ultimate outcome of this bizarre triangular lightning tribulation?

Everything was shrouded in endless lightning and the unknown.

When the unprecedented "Three Immortals Crossing the Calamity Together" transformed the Immortal Tribulation Mountain into a purgatory of laws, a hidden connection originating from the depths of his bloodline pierced through the raging energy turbulence and quietly touched Dou Eqing's mind.

The visitors were not enemies, but the Dou family, a reclusive clan that had existed since ancient times and almost never appeared in the world. The person who contacted Dou Eqing was the matriarch of the Dou family in the present day.

She was graceful and her aura was as deep as an abyss; she was also a being of unfathomable cultivation.

During the brief exchange of thoughts, Madam Dou did not say much, but solemnly told Dou Eqing that he had a crucial memory that was sealed by a family secret technique, which concerned his true origin and the eternal plan.

Given that the current situation has reached a critical juncture, the ban must be lifted immediately.

Before Dou Eqing could ask further questions, Dou's matriarch pointed a finger from afar, and a profound rune containing the power of the Dou family's original bloodline instantly disappeared into the depths of Dou Eqing's brow.

"Click——"

As if some kind of shackles had been broken, a torrent of memories that had been sealed away for countless years surged into Dou Eqing's sea of ​​consciousness!
In an instant, his mind was shaken, and countless images flashed before his eyes:

That was not the bloody battles and scheming of this life, but a much more distant and magnificent picture—he, Dou Eqing, had already cultivated to the quasi-immortal realm in that distant past, relying on his unparalleled talent and ruthless methods!

However, at that time, the secrets of heaven were not yet revealed, and the path to immortality was chaotic, making it not the best time to become a true immortal.

To evade the Heavenly Dao's surveillance and delay the arrival of the Immortal Tribulation, hoping to achieve success at a crucial juncture in the future, he made an extremely bold and reckless decision:
He deliberately disintegrated, sealing most of his cultivation and memories in his original body. His main soul, along with a portion of his origin, entered the cycle of reincarnation, undergoing a complete transformation in the mortal world. He accumulated his foundation with a "brand new" identity, waiting for the right opportunity!
The Dou Eqing before us is nothing more than a reincarnation of that quasi-immortal giant!
All the hardships, schemes, love and hate he experienced in this life, including his encounters with Su Muwan, Luo Damei, and others, were, to some extent, shrouded in the vague calculations of that "previous life" quasi-immortal, whether by chance or by unseen guidance!

Now, with the three immortals crossing the tribulation together, the rules of the Heavenly Dao in turmoil, and the cause and effect entangled to an unprecedented degree, this is the best opportunity he has been waiting for for countless ages—to return to his original form, perfectly transcend the tribulation, and achieve the supreme immortal path!
As long as his soul and consciousness return to that quasi-immortal body at this moment, triggering his unique and complete immortal tribulation accumulated over countless ages, with the foundation of his past life and the accumulation of this life, his success rate will far exceed that of ordinary people. He may even take the opportunity to devour the immortal tribulation origins of Li Chunlong and Su Muwan (Ziyang Immortal Cauldron) and forge the strongest immortal foundation!
This sudden truth, this unparalleled chance at immortality that is within easy reach, is enough to drive any cultivator mad.

However, after the initial shock and ecstasy, Dou Eqing fell into unprecedented hesitation.

He looked at his "present life" body, which was currently inside the body of the Heavenly Demon Soul, sharing the backlash of the Immortal Tribulation with Yang Yang, Luo Da Mei, and other women, and whose souls were connected to each other;
He looked at Su Muwan, who was walking a different path to immortality with an extremely resolute attitude inside the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron.
He even recalled his various ties with Shui Yunxian, Yang Yunhuan, and others, as well as the unfinished ambition of the Sea Demon Sect and the Demon-Controlling Sect to unify the demonic path...

If one chooses to return to the identity of a quasi-immortal from their "previous life" at this moment, they can easily obtain great power, but in a sense, does it also mean the denial and abandonment of everything in their "present life"?
Will Dou Eqing, who has endured hardships, fought his way out from humble beginnings, and built a complex network of relationships and emotions, be overshadowed by the cold-blooded, calculating quasi-immortal who sees eternity as a game of chess?

The balance between power and emotion, the grand scheme of the past life and the real entanglements of this life, create a tremendous inner struggle on this ever-changing battlefield of immortal tribulations.

This once-in-a-millennium opportunity to become an immortal has now caused even a ruthless hero like Dou Eqing to hesitate and find it difficult to make a decision.

His hesitation not only concerns his own path to immortality, but will also directly affect the final outcome of the Three Immortal Tribulations, and even the future direction of the entire Kunlun Realm.

Just as Dou Eqing was shaken by the awakening of his past life memories and fell into deep doubt about his own existence and future path, the next move of the Dou family matriarch pushed him to the forefront of a difficult choice.

The matriarch of the Dou family remained calm, as if she had only done a trivial matter. She casually waved her hand towards a certain point in the void.

The next moment, a figure that Dou Eqing was not unfamiliar with staggered was pulled in front of him by an invisible force—it was Kong Shangke, the Hall Master of the Weapon Refining Hall who had "given" him the Boundless Merit Pearl at the Huanxiu Sect!
However, the Kong Shangke before him had a blank stare and an ethereal aura, making him seem completely unlike a living person.

Before Dou Eqing could ask in surprise, a flash of light appeared at Dou's mother's fingertip and struck Kong Shangke.

The figure of "Kong Shangke" rapidly shrank and deformed, transforming in the blink of an eye into a lifelike wooden statue the size of a palm, which fell into the palm of Dou Zhumu.

This was actually a meticulously crafted quasi-immortal puppet clone, so realistic that it could easily be mistaken for a real one!
The so-called "casual gift of pearls" was nothing more than a pre-arranged part of the Dou family's grand scheme from beginning to end!
Dou Eqing's pupils contracted sharply, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

But it's not over yet.

Without even glancing at the puppet statue, Madam Dou turned her gaze to Dou Eqing, and her hands suddenly formed an extremely complex and ancient hand seal that caused the stars in the sky to tremble slightly.

"Om-!"

The Boundless Merit Pearl, hidden in the deepest part of Dou Eqing's soul sea and almost integrated with his soul, began to tremble violently out of control. It then transformed into a stream of light, forcibly broke free from his control, and flew into the hand of Dou's mistress!

"Madam Dou! What is the meaning of this action?!"

Dou Eqing was both shocked and furious. This immeasurable merit bead was one of the core reliance he relied on for his livelihood and future planning. Now that it had been forcibly taken away, it was tantamount to cutting off his arm!
Although there are fragments of this pearl in the unsealed memories, they are vague and only its importance is known, without mentioning its true origin.

Holding the warm yet profoundly mysterious merit bead in her hand, Madam Dou looked at Dou Eqing with calm and unwavering eyes. Her voice was clear and cold, yet carried an undeniable determination:
"The meaning is very simple."

"If you choose to be Dou Eqing in this life only, indulging in the grudges and affections of this world, unwilling to acknowledge or bear the destiny and responsibility of being a member of the Dou family..."

“Then, this item is the key to our Dou family’s countless efforts and plans for eternity, and the family… should naturally take it back.”

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like ice from the heavens, instantly freezing the surrounding air.

This is no longer a simple hint or persuasion, but an ultimatum!

By taking back the Immeasurable Merit Pearl, the matriarch of the Dou family forced Dou Eqing to make an either-or choice between being a "quasi-immortal of the Dou family in his previous life" and "being an independent self in this life"!

Is it to embrace the seemingly grand but potentially futile path to immortality that may mean losing all the "reality" of this life, or to persist in the ties and autonomy of this life, even at the cost of losing the support of the Dou family and even the heaven-defying treasure, the Immeasurable Merit Pearl?

The roar of the celestial tribulation reverberated in his ears, his dearest friend and beloved were struggling to support him, and the family's millennia-long plan and the cold sense of destiny pressed down on him like a mountain.

Dou Eqing's hesitation was pushed to its extreme at this moment.

Every decision he makes will completely alter the trajectory of his own destiny and that of the entire world.

The roar of the celestial tribulation was deafening, and the energy storm tore through space, but in the center of this chaos, the confrontation between Dou Eqing and Dou Zhumu seemed to freeze time.

The words of the matriarch of the Dou family were like a final judgment, driving Dou Eqing into a desperate situation.

On one hand, there is the unparalleled path to immortality within easy reach, the immense power brought by an ancient scheme, and a seemingly predetermined destiny;
On the other hand, there are the bonds of flesh and blood, emotions, and the struggles that have led to this life, as well as the unknown risks of losing everything and having to start all over again.

The Immeasurable Merit Pearl flowed gently in the palm of the Mistress Dou's hand, its light originally belonging to her, the foundation upon which she planned her hegemony and fought against powerful enemies.

Losing it would not only mean a significant loss of strength, but also the instant collapse of many of his plans for this life.

The expansion of the Sea Demon Sect, its confidence in resisting the righteous path, and even its hope of rescuing Su Muwan may all be lost.

Memories of his past life as a near-immortal surged through his will like a tidal wave; that cold and powerful aura of looking down upon all living beings and orchestrating events carried a fatal allure.

If he simply agrees and acknowledges the identity of the "Dou family member," then gaining power, status, and even rescuing Su Muwan will be a piece of cake.

His gaze involuntarily fell upon the Divine Soul Demon Body, which was struggling to survive the compound immortal tribulation, and Yang Yang and Luo Da Mei...

Their figures flickered in the lightning, their fates inextricably linked to his choices.

He then looked at the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron. Su Muwan was undergoing an unprecedented transformation with a resolute attitude. Her life or death might depend on his next decision.

“Destiny…family…”

Dou Eqing chewed on these two words in a low voice, countless scenes from his life flashing through his eyes:

From struggling in humble beginnings to the arduous task of establishing the Sea Demon Sect, entangled in numerous feuds with women, and step by step plotting to unify the demonic path...

Is all of this just a predetermined path on someone else's chessboard?
Is the flesh-and-blood "Dou Eqing," who can be angry and sad, and who would risk his life for those around him, just a dream of a quasi-immortal reincarnation?
A strong sense of resentment ignited in his heart like wildfire.

What he pursues is true transcendence, the freedom to control even destiny, rather than becoming the shadow or pawn of another, more powerful being!

Even if that road is full of thorns, even if it may lead to utter ruin, it is a road that "I" have personally walked!
Just as his gaze sharpened and he was about to refuse Madam Dou, another unexpected event occurred!
The Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron, which had been suppressed by the Triple Immortal Tribulation, burst forth with an unprecedentedly intense purple light!
Su Muwan's fusion with the artifact spirit seemed to have reached a critical point, and the power of the divine artifact lightning tribulation she triggered suddenly increased. A purple lightning dragon, purely condensed from the laws of destruction and creation, slashed fiercely towards the direction where Madam Dou was, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe!

It seems that Su Muwan's path to becoming a weapon immortal instinctively rejects all external, powerful interference that attempts to control her destiny!

This sudden attack interrupted the pressure from Madam Dou and gave Dou Eqing a chance to catch his breath.

Madam Dou frowned slightly. Facing this tribulation containing the very essence of the laws of heaven and earth, she dared not be careless. With a wave of her sleeve, a hazy, clear light rose up and blocked the purple lightning dragon.

Her move immediately revealed her cultivation level as a human immortal.

The purple lightning dragon was instantly destroyed by her attack, as if it were not a lightning tribulation brought down by a celestial calamity. This demonstrated the powerful strength of Madam Dou, leaving Dou Eqing utterly shocked.

Amidst the roar, Dou Eqing took a deep breath, looked at his mistress Dou who was temporarily preoccupied with resisting the lightning tribulation, and pondered the future scenario after losing the Immeasurable Merit Pearl. Suddenly, a smug and crazy smile appeared on his lips.

"The Dou family...fate...heh."

He suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through layers of tribulation clouds, as if looking directly at the mysterious Heavenly Dao, or perhaps at the unknown future.

Dou's mistress was unaware that he was no longer the same Dou Eqing.

"My path, Dou Eqing's path, is determined by me, not by Heaven, and certainly not by... any so-called family!"

Before he finished speaking, he took the initiative to sever the karmic ties with his past life, tightly binding his present will with his divine soul and demonic body, with Su Muwan in the Purple Sun Immortal Cauldron, and with the chaotic situation he had personally stirred up!
He chose a more difficult path, one that belonged entirely to "Dou Eqing in this life"—not a return, not an inheritance, but to do so with his present life.

In this unprecedented three-immortal-crossing-the-path killing situation, he carved out his own bloody path and forcibly proved his Dao!

"Everyone, follow me... to defy fate!"

He let out a long howl, ignoring Dou Zhumu, and flew away to merge with the Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body.

At the same time, he actively faced the center of the compound lightning tribulation, which was even more violent and chaotic due to Su Muwan's outburst!

He wanted to use this calamity to temper himself, fully condense the ninth yang of his Nine Yang Sacred Body, and prove his Dao!

Dou Eqing intends to mold the ninth yang of the Nine Yang Sacred Body into a thunder yang.

Madam Dou blocked the thunder dragon, and watched Dou Eqing's resolute figure rush into the tribulation clouds. Her eyes were complicated and unfathomable, and finally turned into a faint sigh.

The family's long-term plan has encountered its biggest variable.

And the future of Kunlun Realm, because of Dou Eqing's leap against fate, has completely slid into an unknown abyss.
