The True Dou Emperor Limit

Chapter 29

Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, who were locked in battle. He did not think Xiao Yan would lose, so he withdrew his attention and sensed the surging Dou Qi flowing through his body.

Although the panel of his Family System showed that his current cultivation was Ninth Star Dou Huang—ninety-nine percent.

He knew that the panel had displayed that same number a month ago.

In other words, despite the uninterrupted supply of Dou Qi over the past month, his cultivation had remained at this level.

Yet Xiao Lin knew that his progress had not stagnated. Incomparably powerful Dou Qi coursed through his limbs and bones like great rivers, surging endlessly. It was a feeling of strength unlike anything he had ever experienced.

"If it could all be displayed, my realm might now be Ninth Star Dou Huang, ninety-nine point nine nine nine nine nine..."

Xiao Lin let out a long breath. He felt that the vast and powerful Dou Qi within him was nearly impossible to contain. As he exhaled, a thread of Dou Qi flowed out with his breath.

This was normal. After all, breaking through from Dou Emperor to Dou Zong was an immensely grave and difficult matter.

In the entire Jia Ma Empire, among so many people, only Yun Shan had achieved Dou Zong—and not through his own strength, but with the help of the Soul Hall.

Upon becoming a Dou Zong, one would even gain the qualifications to head to Middle Continent, that place where great powers gathered and powerful experts stood everywhere!

"Mm, it's about to end..."

Xiao Lin had merely guided the incomparably powerful Dou Qi within his body through a cycle large and small. When he opened his eyes, he saw that victory had already been decided.

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran were both Da Dou Shi. Their cultivation levels were not far apart, and their Dou Qi consumption was roughly equal. In the end, it came down to their strongest attacks.

On Nalan Yanran's longsword, wave after wave of incomparably powerful energy gathered and layered over it. Even she was finding this power difficult to control.

"Wind Extreme: Setting Sun Radiance!"

As Nalan Yanran's cry fell, terrifying energy fluctuations finally erupted.

A sharp sword aura seemed to descend from the heavens, shooting toward Xiao Yan in an overwhelming torrent.

Under the pressure of that sharp sword aura, the solid stone floor cracked open with fissures that spread all the way to the end of the Plaza.

Yet Xiao Yan's ink-black eyes remained calm. A wisp of green flame appeared in his left hand, instantly drawing everyone's attention, because it was a Heavenly Flame!

"The Heavenly Flame the Nalan Family searched for in vain was actually on Xiao Yan! What an enormous irony! Hahaha!"

Someone who enjoyed watching the chaos sneered and laughed.

Purple flames surged from Xiao Yan's right hand. Then, beneath the astonished gazes of everyone present, he fused the two flames together!

"It's over!"

Sword light crisscrossed the sky, as though it had cleaved apart an entire world. Between heaven and earth, Nalan Yanran's sword aura ran rampant.

Before Xiao Yan, however, the green and purple flames resembled two yin-yang fish, one green and one purple, circling one another.

"Boom!"

At last, the two flames merged, transforming into Xiao Yan's ultimate trump card—Buddha's Rage Fire Lotus!

Flames were both the source of life and the power that burned all things.

Just like the methods of Buddha, if one did not wish to see the Bodhisattva lower his brows, then behold this Fierce Vajra Gaze!

Life and destruction intertwined at this very moment!

Xiao Yan hurled the flames from his hand, and the incomparably powerful force directly suppressed that blazing sun sword beam.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded throughout all of Misty Cloud Mountain!

Powerful energy erupted across the Misty Cloud Sect Plaza, and the first to bear the brunt were the many Misty Cloud Sect disciples on the Plaza.

Amid the thunderous blasts, bricks and tiles flew everywhere. Chunks of shattered stone shot into the sky, and the force of the impact turned the faces of the thousand Misty Cloud Sect disciples deathly pale.

They exhausted all their strength, combining their Dou Qi to form a great formation, and only then barely managed to block this world-destroying force.

The towering trees beside the Plaza were nearly uprooted by the devastation. Many Dou Emperors and Dou Wangs flew into the air, gazing at the scene below and clicking their tongues in amazement.

Directly opposite the Misty Cloud Sect disciples stood Xiao Lin, Lü Man, and Qing Lin. Unlike the chaos on the Misty Cloud Sect's side—

Xiao Lin opened his eyes. A flash of green divine light flickered through them, and a green Dou Qi barrier appeared around the three of them, directly blocking this powerful force that could already threaten a Dou Wang.

Within the endless flames, two wings emerged from Xiao Yan's back as he flew into the air, while Nalan Yanran's figure had vanished without a trace.

"First Elder, the situation seems to have gone somewhat beyond our control. That Xiao Yan is truly strong!"

A Misty Cloud Sect elder said with a deep frown.

Yun Leng also frowned deeply, slowly stroking his beard. After a long while, he said in a low voice:

"Let's watch for now. Do our best not to let Yan Ran lose. Otherwise, before so many powerful experts, where would the Misty Cloud Sect put its face?"

"The First Elder means...?" The several white-robed Old Men around him froze, then frowned slightly.

"It's over."

Within the endless flames, Xiao Yan saw Nalan Yanran, her clothes in tatters and her face pale. A decision flashed through his ink-black eyes, and he lunged at her like a fierce tiger.

Unparalleled Divine Fist. If this punch landed, Nalan Yanran—the young sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect and the Jia Ma Empire's so-called top genius—would lose that title forever!

"Xiao Yan, I hope that for the Misty Cloud Sect's sake, you can show Yan Ran some mercy. Afterward, the Misty Cloud Sect will certainly give you compensation that satisfies you!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to strike, a faint voice suddenly entered his ears.

A mocking curve lifted at Xiao Yan's lips. He recognized the owner of that voice: Yun Leng, the Misty Cloud Sect's First Elder... To secretly transmit such words at a time like this was truly laughable and childish.

"Boom!"

Powerful force burst forth from Xiao Yan's slender body. Three years of cultivation, all for this day!

His punch landed on Nalan Yanran's body. The endless flames scattered away, and together with the woman's figure, sent flying and unable to rise again, they proclaimed the Misty Cloud Sect's defeat!

"Damn it!"

With anger in his palm, Yun Leng slammed it heavily against the stone platform beside him. His face turned livid. He had not expected Xiao Yan to show him so little respect; his earlier warning had been completely useless.

"First Elder, what do we do next? Yan Ran... has already lost." A Misty Cloud Sect elder asked with a bitter expression.

Suddenly, a voice rang out across the sky.

"Xiao Yan, I hope that for the Misty Cloud Sect's sake, you can show Yan Ran some mercy. Afterward, the Misty Cloud Sect will certainly give you compensation that satisfies you!"

It was precisely what Yun Leng had secretly transmitted to Xiao Yan earlier, but now it echoed throughout the entire Misty Cloud Sect Plaza. The leaders of the great powers who were watching immediately erupted in an uproar.

The lofty Misty Cloud Sect had actually lowered its head to the youth it had once oppressed!

As that voice rang out, the Misty Cloud Sect's splendor and reputation, along with Nalan Yanran's pride, were completely shattered.

"Who is humiliating the reputation of my Misty Cloud Sect? My Misty Cloud Sect will investigate this matter to the end!"

Amid the uproar, Yun Leng abruptly slapped the table and roared in fury.

"Heh, you dare to do it, but not admit it?"

Xiao Lin slowly spoke as he lightly clapped his hands.

"Your Excellency, fabricating lies and stirring up trouble like this to insult the prestige of my Misty Cloud Sect—do you truly think my Misty Cloud Sect has no one left? Enforcement Team! Hear my command!"
