The Very End

Seeing the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill, which had been devoured by Mo Tang just like Nihility Devouring Flame had been before, Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan were both utterly stunned.

Especially Hun Tiandi. This had been his only chance to turn defeat into victory!

"Bastard! I'll kill you!"

The frenzied Hun Tiandi charged straight at Mo Tang...

Zhu Kun, having recovered his senses as well, was filled with ferocity. With a deep roar, a colossal dragon that nearly occupied tens of thousands of feet of the sky suddenly appeared.

The dragon then transformed into a violet-golden beam and slammed into the crazed Hun Tiandi with lightning speed.

"Pfft!"

The dazzling violet-golden beam pierced straight through the powerful Dou Qi defense around Hun Tiandi's body and struck his flesh. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body was sent flying backward for thousands of feet.

Only then did he barely steady himself.

Yet Hun Tiandi did not care about his injuries at all. Even though Zhu Kun's attack had nearly turned him into a man drenched in blood.

He still had only one goal: rush before Mo Tang, who was absorbing and converting the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill's energy, and interrupt him!

That sheer madness left both Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan stunned.

"Stop right there!!!"

At last, Hun Tiandi reached Mo Tang. Roaring furiously, he unleashed all his strength and struck out with his palm, sending a ten-thousand-foot energy pillar crashing down toward Mo Tang, who stood below with his eyes closed.

Wherever that terrifying palm force passed, even the air was blasted into nothingness!

Everyone present held their breath. Zi Yan and Queen Medusa, especially, went pale and disregarded all danger as they prepared to rush forward to stop him.

Fortunately, Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan reacted quickly and stopped the two women...

With Hun Tiandi in his current frenzy, even the two of them did not dare block him head-on. Wouldn't two little girls rushing over simply be throwing their lives away?

Besides,

they had both witnessed Mo Tang's mysterious abilities.

Leaving everything else aside,

his Half-Emperor strength alone was enough. If he truly fought, perhaps even two Hun Tiandis would not be his match.

Thus, under everyone's gaze, just as Hun Tiandi's world-destroying attack was about to strike him, Mo Tang slowly opened his tightly shut eyes...

He raised a finger and lightly tapped.

"Shatter."

With that single softly spoken word, the energy pillar that had shot forward like an enraged dragon abruptly froze less than a meter away from Mo Tang.

Before everyone's eyes, Mo Tang's finger lightly landed upon the energy pillar.

"Bang!"

No energy ripples emerged from that single touch. Yet the seemingly terrifying energy pillar crumbled inch by inch, finally exploding into countless motes of light that scattered and vanished between heaven and earth.

"This... this is...

Dou Di?!"

Hun Tiandi, covered in blood, wore an expression of utter disbelief.

His entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning.

He staggered backward again and again.

"Impossible! How could this be... Absolutely impossible!"

Clearly, this scene had dealt him too great a blow, reducing a former supreme expert to such a state.

It was no wonder...

Not only could Hun Tiandi not accept it, even Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan in the distance could not accept it.

"He... he broke through just like that? Isn't that a little... too absurd..." Gu Yuan muttered, his face equally filled with disbelief.

He knew all too well just how difficult it was to break through to Dou Di.

Think of Xiao Xuan back then. He had even sacrificed the bloodline power of the entire Xiao Clan, and his cultivation had likewise reached the Half-Emperor realm, yet he had still failed in the end...

But Mo Tang now? Let alone an Emperor Grade Nascent Pill, even if it were a true Emperor Pill, how could he possibly absorb it without refining it over a long period of time?

Among those present, perhaps only Zi Yan and Medusa had no doubts. Mo Tang had displayed far too many strange things before them.

"It is time to bring this to an end."

As his words fell, Mo Tang lightly pointed at Hun Tiandi. The heavens and earth immediately stirred, and endless energy rapidly gathered at his fingertip before transforming into a streak of golden light that shot toward Hun Tiandi.

The moment Mo Tang attacked, Hun Tiandi's heart jolted. Dou Qi surged urgently within him, but just as he was about to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to defend himself, Mo Tang smiled, pointed again, and softly said, "Seal!"

As that word fell, Hun Tiandi discovered in horror that the energy between heaven and earth had actually lost all connection with him!

Light flashed, and his soul returned to heaven and earth.

Watching his opponent of thousands of years vanish just like that, Gu Yuan, who had witnessed the entire process, did not know what he felt.

But one thing was clear to him: from this moment onward, the entire Central Plains, even the whole Dou Qi Continent, would enter a new era!

Time passed swiftly, and several years went by before anyone realized it.

During those years, a new name was deeply etched into the hearts of everyone on the Dou Qi Continent...

Emperor Mo, Mo Tang!

The only man in ten thousand years to ascend to Dou Di, an existence as divine as a god!

Within Bodhi Space, a figure dressed in black stood beneath the canopy of the massive tree, one hand lightly resting against its trunk.

"Old Tree, I have come to fulfill my promise..."

Those calm words caused the previously still giant tree to sway suddenly. Waves of strange fluctuations entered Mo Tang's body, expressing its unique emotions.

"Heh, don't worry. In the future, you and I will have the chance to explore that higher world together..."

As he finished speaking, countless gray clouds of energy emerged from Mo Tang's palm and rapidly gathered together, eventually forming a golden sphere.

"Dao Fruit of Becoming Emperor!"

With a light flick of his finger, the golden sphere sank directly into the giant tree's trunk. Moments later, the entire Bodhi Space began to tremble...

Three years later, the Five Emperors appeared!

Who could have imagined that Dou Di-level experts, unseen for ten thousand years, would one day emerge in clusters?

Zhu Kun, Zi Yan, Queen Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun!

It could be said that all of them were Mo Tang's closest family.

Of course, in a place unknown to everyone, an even more ancient existence was born. The Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had existed on the Dou Qi Continent for countless years, had finally become a Dou Di and taken human form!

When Mo Tang led the Dou Di experts to open the passage to the Great Thousand World, the entire world fell silent...

Within the Ancient Realm, Gu Yuan stood with his mouth open, his heart roiling like stormy waves. When that passage appeared, he could clearly sense that his strength, stagnant for over a thousand years, was beginning to stir!

At that moment, he felt that his chance to become an Emperor was no longer far away!

This, too, was Mo Tang's final gift to this world...
