Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 70 The Traitorous Void Devouring Flame

"Lord Soul Emperor, what exactly happened? Just now I clearly sensed another powerful and majestic aura suddenly appearing in the Soul Realm's Imperial Sky."

Clad in a black robe and exuding an eerie aura, Void Devouring Flame moved like lightning, passing directly through a wall of black flames formed and reinforced by Void Fire.

The walls of this Soul Realm Imperial Void were strengthened and stabilized thanks to his mysterious and unpredictable Void Flame. Therefore, without the Soul Emperor's deliberate obstruction, Void Devouring Flame could freely enter and exit the Soul Realm Imperial Void.

However, when the Void Devouring Flame truly stepped into the Soul Realm Emperor Void and personally felt Zhong Li's aura of a Dou Di that was as deep as the ocean, it was instantly stunned.

"Battle...Battle Emperor!!"

"Battle Emperor!!" Little Fairy Doctor was momentarily stunned upon hearing what the two people in front of her said.

Although he has only been cultivating for a short time, he is already very familiar with the division of cultivation realms on the Dou Qi Continent.

A Douhuang realm cultivator is enough to command respect and influence in the Jia Ma Empire;

A Dou Zong level expert can even rule as the sole ruler of the Jia Ma Empire;

Those above the Dou Zun level can stir up the winds and clouds of the entire Northwest Continent with just a single word.

Even those ancient and mysterious families that have hidden themselves from the world will treat him with great respect and fear when he reaches the Dou Sheng realm, and will try to win him over.

But now you're telling me that my master is a Dou Di powerhouse who hasn't appeared in thousands of years!

The Soul Emperor was an extremely wise and astute person. As the saying goes, "Below the Dou Di, all are ants." Although he could not fully accept the fact that he had suddenly become an ant, his body quickly and intelligently bowed in respect.

"Uh... I didn't know it was a Dou Di senior. I was offended earlier, and I hope you will be magnanimous."

"Heavens! This is offensive!! Didn't the Soul Emperor just say that he had offended this Dou Di senior before him?!"

The Void Devouring Flame's mind was in complete chaos, its face filled with terror. After the mental storm subsided, it hurriedly bent down, not daring to look directly into Zhong Li's eyes. The thought of escaping never even crossed its mind.

After all, with his mere eight-star Dou Sheng strength, he was like a lamb to the slaughter in front of a Dou Di expert. Not to mention erasing his own intelligence, even if his top-tier strange fire, ranked second on the Strange Fire Ranking, were to be refined in an instant, it would probably be an easy matter for the other party.

"Hoo..." Zhong Li slowly exhaled another long breath, moved his body slightly, and got used to the feeling of Dou Di level Dou Qi.

From the moment he first met the Soul Emperor, Zhongli, with his more than six thousand years of experience in the mortal world, understood the man's temperament: the Soul Emperor would only communicate peacefully with others when facing a stronger opponent; otherwise, he would be caught in an endless vortex of struggle.

Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhongli decided to use the most direct and peaceful method to communicate with the Soul Emperor.

After all, the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm is already the pinnacle of strength on the Dou Qi Continent, and there are no more than five people who can reach this level.

However, in reality, the only known peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses still alive in the world are Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan.

However, because Soul Emperor was severely injured by Xiao Xuan's self-destruction of three different flames, Gu Yuan was actually the only one who truly possessed the full strength of a peak nine-star Dou Sheng.

Zhong Li turned around leisurely, his gaze sharp, and instantly saw through the true identity of the Void Devouring Flame.

"Could it be that you are the Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking?"

Zhongli's words contained the supreme majesty of a Dou Di, causing even the black robe of the Void Devouring Flame to tremble involuntarily.

"Indeed... I am Void Devouring Flame."

"Oh? That's wonderful." Zhong Li's lips curled into a smile as he slowly turned his head, gently patted the Little Fairy Doctor beside him, and said softly, "Fairy, what do you think of this strange flame? It's one of the best on the Strange Flame Ranking, with extraordinary power. Do you want to devour it and refine it for your own use?"

Facing two top-tier Dou Sheng powerhouses, Little Fairy Doctor, who only possessed the strength of a Dou Zhe at the moment, appeared unusually calm. She stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes flashing with a discerning light.

"Master, you said that the man in black robes was Void Devouring Flame? But he's clearly not a person!"

"That's right, he's no ordinary person; he's just a strange fire that has transformed into human form."

"Hey... you guy with the Void Gluteitis thing, let me see what your flames look like."

Faced with this command that was as powerful as a minor Dou Zhe realm cultivator, how could Void Devouring Flame, whose strength was only an eight-star Dou Sheng, dare to disobey in the slightest? He immediately opened his palm and released his originally deep and inky Void Flame.

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at it and immediately looked disgusted: "Oh, Master, this flame is so ugly, I don't want it."

"Then let it be." Zhongli gently patted Little Fairy Doctor's head, then slowly turned his head away.

Meanwhile, Void Devouring Flame, who was standing to the side, did not feel resentful for being judged by this little fighter for being ugly. Instead, he immediately knelt down on both knees.

"Lord Dou Di, I am deeply grateful for your mercy in sparing my life!! From now on, I will follow your lead without question. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to catch a dog, I will never chase a chicken!!" With that, he kowtowed three times heavily.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Hmph! You traitorous bastard, how could you so easily give away the title of 'My Lord' that belongs exclusively to me to someone else!!" Soul Emperor cursed inwardly, but ultimately did not utter the words aloud.

"To my shame, my arrival here was purely by chance. If anyone should apologize, it should be us."

After speaking, Zhong Li bowed slightly to the Soul Emperor, offering a shallow salute.

"Huh?" The Soul Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said repeatedly, "It's alright! It's alright! I haven't bothered you at all, I haven't bothered you at all."

"As for that strange fire, it is a spiritual object born from heaven and earth, and it has always been something that only those with the right destiny can obtain. But now that it has developed sentience, and my disciple has no interest in it, let it be."

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor gently tugged at Zhongli's sleeve and said slowly in her childish voice, "Master, Master, Senior Brother really needs a strange fire. Why don't you give this ugly-looking strange fire to Senior Brother?"

"Hmm, that makes sense!" Zhong Li nodded slightly.

"My little ancestor, please stop talking!!!" Upon hearing that he was about to be given away again, Void Devouring Flame felt wronged and was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy, "My lord, spare my life!!!"

Zhongli couldn't help but wonder whether this flame, which had already developed sentience, could be categorized as "human."

"Fine, considering your arduous cultivation, I'll let you off this time. But if you commit evil deeds and wreak havoc on the world in the future, I will not forgive you lightly!"

Zhongli's words carried an even greater air of authority as a Dou Di, making it difficult for Xu Wu Tun Yan to breathe.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!!" Void Devouring Flame was filled with gratitude.

"Ah? What should we do then, Senior Brother?" Although Little Fairy Doctor looked down on Void Devouring Flame's appearance, she was still quite concerned about its powerful strength.
