Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Now, Xiao Jue will be the strongest person in the Dou Qi Continent.

With the Emperor Flame and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, two rare treasures of heaven and earth, plus the soul of an Emperor Realm expert and the physique of an ancient dragon and phoenix, who on the Dou Qi Continent could be Xiao Jue's opponent?

Long Xiao's Nine Profound Golden Thunder is also present in Xiao Jue, and Zhu Kun's Ancient Void Dragon bloodline is not as good as Xiao Jue's Ancient Dragon-Phoenix bloodline.

"I'm afraid only that Emperor-grade embryonic pill can rival me when it goes all out."

Xiao Jue chuckled. After a while, he could go directly to the Demon Flame Space and retrieve the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Among the strongest individuals in the Dou Qi Continent since the end of the Dou Di era, apart from the exception of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, there are very few others who are truly the strongest.

The five strongest figures from a thousand years ago, such as Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, the tower master of Xiaodan Tower, and the patriarch of Fenyan Valley, were all late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

However, the Burning Flame Valley Ancestor was the weakest among them. He never possessed an Emperor-level soul and died of old age. The tower master of the Little Pill Tower also died after failing to refine an Emperor-grade pill.

The tower master of the Little Pill Tower was not the predecessor who created the Pill Tower Ancestor. Like the Burning Flame Valley Ancestor, he passed away not long after Xiao Xuan's death.

There weren't many conspiracies or tricks involved. The old patriarch of Burning Flame Valley died at the oldest age, and the tower master of Little Pill Tower wanted to try to break through to Dou Di, so he chose to go all in, just like Xiao Xuan.

Among these people, apart from the Burning Flame Valley Ancestor, they can all be considered extremely powerful figures in history, all of whom are late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng with Emperor-level souls.

Perhaps Xiao Xuan and Hun Tiandi had surpassed the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng before their deaths, but history will not change their records. Therefore, they are ranked as the five strongest beings a thousand years ago.

In the more distant past, figures like Zhu Kun, Jinglian Demon Saint, and Huangquan Demon Saint were all renowned powerhouses. Zhu Kun was the last Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the master of the Jinglian Demon Flame, and Huangquan Great Saint, who was known as the number one person below the Dou Di.

It can be said that Xiao Jue has now obtained most of the inheritances of the late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouses since the end of the Dou Di era in the Dou Qi Continent.

Xiao Jue has never mastered the Pure Lotus Demon Flame or the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's legacy.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint still has a remnant soul, but in the map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the fragment of the demon flame map is still missing a piece, but this does not affect Xiao Jue's ability to deal with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

If we have the chance to collect that map later, we might be able to obtain the complete inheritance of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint through the remnant soul of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

Now, if he can devour the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, Xiao Jue doesn't need the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's energy. He only needs the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's origin, plus the sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame obtained from Xun'er, to fuse it into a complete Emperor Flame!

The unique flames of the Dou Qi Continent are essentially only the Emperor Flame, the Void Devouring Flame, and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. The rest of the unique flames combined are no more than these three.

Xiao Jue and Long Xiao's strength has already surpassed the nine-star Dou Sheng level, equivalent to a half-step Dou Di. Xiao Jue's combat power is even more of a half-step Dou Di at the Great Perfection, infinitely close to a pseudo-Dou Di.

He possesses an Emperor-level soul, an Emperor-level body, and Dou Qi comparable to a Dou Di. All he lacks now is the body of a Dou Di, and a supreme Dharma form similar to that of the Great Thousand Worlds.

Even if Xiao Jue were to devour the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, it probably wouldn't be of much help. Even if the Emperor Flame became complete, it wouldn't significantly enhance his strength.

However, Long Yan was able to break through to the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. In addition, Long Yan devoured the remnants of the Soul Emperor's body and soul, obtaining the complete Soul Clan inheritance. After Long Yan obtained the inheritance of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, his strength would be no weaker than Long Xiao, who had consumed the Thunder Emperor's Golden Pill.

Compared to these, Lei Xi, who was waiting for Xiao Jue to take away her primordial yin in the Lei Clan, was not in a hurry. She could wait until all her business was finished before taking away her primordial yin.

……

Xiao Jue waved his sleeve lightly, and a crack tore open in the space in front of him. He took a step and stepped into it, then disappeared, leaving Long Yan to refine pills in a corner of the Heavenly Tomb.

As they watched Long Yan's figure disappear, the numerous energy entities breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly dispersed.

Now that the soul of the Heavenly Tomb is dead, Xiao Jue has become the new master of the Heavenly Tomb, which is good news for them, as they will no longer need to kill each other.

They can continuously absorb energy here to become stronger. Judging from Xiao Jue's appearance, he doesn't care about the energy cores of these Dou Sheng energy bodies.

They can live on until their consciousness finally succumbs to oblivion over the long years, before their remnants of soul dissipate.

……

In the ancient realm, above the vast, deep mountains, several figures stood suspended in mid-air, their eyes slightly furrowed as they gazed at the space in front of them that rippled gently like water.

Lei Ying couldn't help but ask, "Gu Yuan, what exactly happened?"

Xiao Jue had not appeared for almost half a year, and he was worried and impatient, so he brought Yan Jin and Huo Ling to the Ancient Realm to demand the person.

"The Heavenly Tomb is closed, and the spatial passages here are completely blocked. I tried to open the passage earlier, but I was bounced back by a force. That feeling... it's as if the Heavenly Tomb now has a master."

Gu Yuan frowned, but what he said shocked everyone. The owner of this Heavenly Tomb was only one person, the Dou Di powerhouse who created it. It had been without an owner for many years.

Although they had considered refining it, they all failed in the end. The space created by the Dou Di powerhouse was far beyond their control.

Therefore, when they heard Gu Yuan's words, even with their composure, the three of them couldn't help but find it hard to believe. However, they also understood that with Gu Yuan's abilities, it was impossible for him to have made a mistake.

"Then Brother Xiao Jue..." Xun'er, standing next to Gu Yuan, turned pale because of Gu Yuan's words.

She wasn't interested in whether the Heavenly Tomb had an owner, but Xiao Jue was still inside. If Gu Yuan couldn't open the spatial passage, how could Xiao Jue come back?

Although Xiao Jue's strength has clearly broken through to the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng, the Heavenly Tomb is, after all, a relic left behind by an ancient Dou Di, and anything could happen.

"I'll try again."

Gu Yuan's expression was also slightly gloomy. With his strength, even if some mysterious master really appeared in the Heavenly Tomb, it would not be able to completely stop him from entering!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan changed his hand seals, and the energy of heaven and earth in this area roared up and quickly transformed into a giant energy hand thousands of feet long in the sky.

Then he grabbed down hard into the shimmering space, the enormous shadow obscuring the surrounding mountains. (End of Chapter)
