Breaking Out of the Dou Qi Continent; Encountering a Mysterious Figure!

Within the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, a faint mist hung in the air.

Silence reigned.

Hun Tiandi and the others charged at the front, determined to seize the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill first and then slaughter everyone else.

Gu Yuan followed close behind.

Hun Tiandi said to you, "Brother Ye Hao, please hold back the other members of the Ancient Clan and help me seize the treasure! Once we succeed, you and I will ascend to the Emperor Realm together!"

You rolled your eyes inwardly. I'd sooner believe that I'm Tou She Ancient God than believe you.

Still, not charging to the front was exactly what you wanted. You smiled and nodded. "Leave it to me! Go ahead and seize the treasure!"

Afterward, you openly intercepted the experts of the Ancient Clan Allied Forces, deliberately holding back as you followed behind at an unhurried pace.

The group crossed a plain and arrived before an ancient stone hall.

More than twenty stone pillars stood upon the vast, imposing plaza.

Each pillar bore a Heavenly Flame.

Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and the others were all astonished!

They were all curious why these Heavenly Flames appeared so weak.

Only you knew that these Heavenly Flames merely had the appearance of the real thing.

After entering this place, Nihility Devouring Flame felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Before they could figure out what was happening—

Two thunderous bursts of laughter echoed through the space.

Everyone's hairs stood on end in fright.

Hearing the two laughs, you frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Ye Hao: "Shouldn't there only be one Emperor Grade Nascent Pill? Why is there another voice?"

Wait!

Could it be...

Zhu Kun?!

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw two figures seated upon the left and right shoulders of the towering stone statue.

One of them looked remarkably similar to the statue.

The other had long violet-gold hair and violet-gold eyes that shone with light. His gaze swept across your group as though he were eyeing prey.

You guessed that he was Zhu Kun, who should have been guarding the entrance to the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion!

Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi had both assumed that the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill was Tou She Ancient God.

As for Zhu Kun, they took him for some insignificant figure from the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

Nihility Devouring Flame exposed the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill's true identity.

Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi were greatly shocked. They had not expected the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill to possess such terrifying aura!

You found it rather strange. In the original story, the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill had torn open the seal and helped Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame escape the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

Now that Zhu Kun was here, and should have been even stronger, why had he not taken the chance to escape himself?

Ye Hao: "It really is a little strange."

Could Tou She Ancient God have other contingencies?

I need to be careful!

I absolutely can't recklessly rush out like last time, snatch the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill, and end up being burst apart by it.

The Emperor Grade Nascent Pill did not care that its identity had been exposed. It laughed heartily and said, "Brother Zhu Kun, you have waited for several thousand years. This Cave Mansion has finally been opened. How do you feel?"

Zhu Kun licked his lips. "As agreed, we kill them all and use their Flesh and Blood to help you become an Emperor! Afterward, you will help me become an Emperor as well!"

The Emperor Grade Nascent Pill nodded. "Very well. Then let us make our move!"

A great battle was on the verge of erupting.

The Emperor Grade Nascent Pill faced Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame alone, yet it seemed completely at ease.

Gu Yuan fought Zhu Kun alone, but Zhu Kun, who was slightly stronger, suppressed him.

Meanwhile, you continued intercepting the experts of the Ancient Clan Allied Forces, fighting the clan heads of the Yan Clan, Lei Clan, and Yao Clan, along with the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation King, Gu Lie, all by yourself.

Ye Hao: "A late-stage Nine Star Dou Saint fighting three Eight-star Dou Saints, plus the Yao Clan head, who was seven stars or something... and I can still fight them to a stalemate?"

Of course, no one noticed that now.

After all...

Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and the others had all focused their attention on seizing the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill.

The two sides fell into a deadlock.

Just then—

Nihility Devouring Flame used the Pill Transformation Divine Art, transforming the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill into a medicinal pill.

In an instant!

Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and even Zhu Kun all turned their gazes toward that glowing pill!

The three charged forward at the same time to fight over it.

Nihility Devouring Flame joined the battle as well.

They fought fiercely, neither side able to gain the upper hand.

You felt that your chance had come.

Taking advantage of the moment, you injured several Yan Clan elders. With a flash, you retreated to a hidden corner of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

You quietly watched the battle and quietly waited.

Ye Hao: "Good thing I'm a transmigrator. I know to lie low and wait for an opportunity."

In the end, Zhu Kun gained the upper hand in the battle because he had cultivated more Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques within this Cave Mansion.

He swallowed the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill!

Zhu Kun's strength surged into the Half-Emperor Realm!

Zhu Kun sent Gu Yuan and the other two flying with a single palm strike.

Hun Tiandi's eyes nearly split with rage, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhu Kun laughed triumphantly. "All of you shall become nourishment for this emperor's ascent!"

As he spoke, Zhu Kun moved, transforming into a massive Ancient Void Dragon. He opened his jaws and lunged at Hun Tiandi and the other two.

Hun Tiandi had no choice but to retreat for the time being.

Gu Yuan also prepared to flee, but Zhu Kun locked onto him and gave chase.

In an instant, the once-noisy Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion became quiet.

You waited for a while. Once you were sure that no one else would enter, you emerged from your hidden corner within the Cave Mansion.

Worried that Zhu Kun might return, you immediately summoned the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

You entered Tou She Ancient God's trial.

You passed Tou She Ancient God's trial.

You began receiving the Ancient God's inheritance.

After devouring Gu Yuan and the other experts, Zhu Kun sat cross-legged in midair above the Black Corner Region, beginning to refine their Essence Blood and merge it into the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill, attempting to complete the final steps of pill formation.

"Merely refining their Essence Blood probably won't be enough for him to become an Emperor, right?"

"If he succeeds, his strength may be even more terrifying than Hun Tiandi's after becoming an Emperor."

After all...

The Ancient Void Dragon clan specialized in spatial methods!

In the blink of an eye, two years passed.

Zhu Kun ultimately fell just short of becoming a Dou Emperor. Still, his strength, infinitely close to the Half-Emperor Realm, was enough for him to look down upon the entire Dou Qi Continent.

He prepared to find a way to receive Tou She Ancient God's inheritance and use it to enter the Dou Emperor Realm.

But when he discovered that the inheritance had already been activated, he was utterly dumbfounded!

He cursed wildly before the stone statue like a madman.

Just as he was cursing to his heart's content—

You emerged from seclusion.

A terrifying aura, like that of a ruler of heaven and earth, instantly enveloped the entire Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

Zhu Kun looked up toward the top of the stone statue.

A Seven-Colored Light lit up at the statue's brow, gathering into a Light Gate.

You walked out of the Light Gate.

Your entire body was shrouded in Seven-Colored Light, as though a god had descended.

The pressure you unintentionally released alone blasted the massive stone hall beside you into pieces.

Zhu Kun cried out in regret, "Damn it! I never expected that after guarding this place for thousands of years, you would beat me to it! I hate this! I hate this!!!"

You smiled faintly. "Today, I ascend to become a Dou Emperor. I shall call myself the Haotian Emperor."

You looked at Zhu Kun. "If you do not wish to die, this emperor still lacks a mount. Are you willing?"

Ye Hao: "Why find Zhu Kun as a mount instead of finding Zi Yan? Isn't she better?"

This was really too hard to hold back.

With his current strength, let alone one Zi Yan, he could have a hundred or a thousand.

Ye Hao was speechless.

Zhu Kun said, "You want this emperor to become your mount? Dream on!"

You shook your head in disappointment. "Very well. Then today, I shall use you to test my strength."

You took one step forward, unleashing terrifying power like a Heavenly Emperor who ruled all!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, every structure within the Cave Mansion collapsed, while Zhu Kun turned into a cloud of blood mist and vanished between heaven and earth.

You walked out of the Cave Mansion.

At that moment, the entire Dou Qi Continent lay within your perception!

No one could escape your senses.

You had become invincible.

At this moment, you suddenly felt somewhat lonely.

Even though every woman on the Dou Qi Continent would be yours to choose from if you wished, you had little interest in them.

Otherwise, Queen Medusa would have already fallen into your hands long ago.

You found a place to rest. You were too tired.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

You no longer wished to remain here. You decided to leave the Dou Qi Continent and visit other worlds, such as Tianxuan Continent, and then the Great Thousand World.

You arrived in the cosmos and searched for the location of Tianxuan Continent.

Ye Hao: "I'll seize the Plane Embryo of Tianxuan Continent, become the master of that plane, then head to the Great Thousand World and lie low until I reach the Sovereign Realm!"

However, at that moment—

A phantom-like figure, as insubstantial as a lingering soul, emerged from the darkness ahead and appeared before you!
