Son of Destiny of the Hun Clan

"Since you agreed to this deal, I won't take the trace of Luck Force from your body." Hun Tianchen recalled the Soul Dragon behind him and spoke coldly.

As early as ten years ago, he had used his own methods to condense his own Luck Force!

Luck Force was something every person possessed from birth. The strength of one's Luck Force determined the upper and lower limits of one's life.

Some people might look like weaklings now, yet the Luck Force on them was exceptionally powerful. Within a few years, they would rise completely. Xiao Yan was one such example.

Xiao Yan was the Son of Destiny of this world. Calling him the absolute protagonist would not be an exaggeration. With such Luck Force protecting him, Hun Tianchen simply did not dare forcibly kill Xiao Yan.

He did not know why. They were both transmigrators, so why was the gap between Xiao Yan and himself so immense?

One was showered with the blessings of fate, while the other was an abandoned child of fate.

From the moment Hun Tianchen was born, his Luck Force could practically be said to be "zero."

Even if he killed Xiao Yan, the backlash would leave him seriously injured. By then, he would lose his position as Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan, and titles such as First Genius of the Hun Clan would be stripped away one after another.

To deal with a Son of Destiny like Xiao Yan, Hun Tianchen had specifically created a Self-Created Dou Technique: the Soul Dragon.

The Soul Dragon gathered the Luck Force inherited by the Hun Clan since ancient times. As long as the Soul Dragon remained with him, Hun Tianchen carried the fate of the entire Hun Clan. It was equivalent to making him the Son of Destiny of the Hun Clan, solving the problem of his zero Luck Force. Although it could not compare to Xiao Yan, the true protagonist, it was enough.

Not only that, the Soul Dragon had inherited the ability of Nihility Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking: devouring the luck of others to strengthen itself.

Hun Tianchen had endured in the Hun Clan for ten years, devouring the Luck Force of the entire clan before finally mastering this series of Soul Dragon Dou Techniques.

Of course, the devoured luck was not enough to make the Hun Clan decline immediately. The current Hun Tianchen could be said to embody the luck of the entire Hun Clan. As long as he did not die, the Hun Clan would not decline.

Devouring the luck of others would not cause them much harm. They could still cultivate normally, but their upper and lower limits would be determined by a single thought from Hun Tianchen.

The current Soul Dragon was no longer something those Heavenly Flames could contend with. Thus, he did not intend to take the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, the Green Lotus Core Flame, or any of the other Heavenly Flames.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame could be given to Hun Miesheng, ensuring that he remained Hun Tianchen's subordinate for the rest of his life. As for the other Heavenly Flames, they naturally had other great uses.

Once those Heavenly Flames were taken away, Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra would no longer be able to evolve. At most, it could only devour Beast Flames.

Without Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan was not much of a threat to him. Still, he believed Xiao Yan had other ways of becoming stronger. After all, as the Son of Destiny of this world, a being equivalent to the protagonist, would he lack ways to grow stronger?

As for breaking through to Dou Di, Hun Tianchen had made no preparations, because he had basically already fulfilled all the conditions necessary to break through to Dou Di.

Because he had been born with Source Qi!

The benefits brought by the Sacred Body Demonic Heart to Hun Tianchen were simply too great.

Not only did he possess Source Qi, but he also had the holy power and demonic power of the Sacred Body Demonic Heart, along with the Dou Qi he had cultivated himself.

The combination of holy power and demonic power did not merely increase his combat strength. It also allowed Hun Tianchen to freely help others raise their strength. In other words, if he wished, Hun Miesheng could break through to the late stage of Five-Star Dou Sheng at any time.

However, the cost of doing so was somewhat high. Helping Dou Venerates was manageable, but if he wanted to raise Hun Miesheng's strength, he would have to wait until he became a Dou Saint.

As for becoming a Dou Saint... Hun Tianchen was extremely confident that he could do so within five years.

"Hall Master, please do not act carelessly, lest you expose your strength." Hun Tianchen looked at him helplessly. "On the surface, you are at the late stage of Four-Star Dou Saint, but in truth, you possess the strength of a Five-Star Dou Sheng. Do not forget the ancient rules of the Ancient Eight Clans... The current Hun Clan still has to barely abide by them."

"If our Hun Clan's plan succeeds, we will not need to follow those rotten rules. But now is not the time."

Hun Miesheng nodded.

"This subordinate understands."

Seeing Hun Miesheng's obedient appearance, Hun Tianchen could not help but laugh.

Making the mighty Hall Master of the Hall of Souls submit like this had not been easy for him either.

When the Demonic Lotus Flame descended, Hun Miesheng would become his man, with absolutely no second thoughts.

"Hall Master, you know that I have no interest whatsoever in those Heavenly Flames. Even Nihility Devouring Flame, that senior within the clan, is not something I intend to refine." Hun Tianchen tossed the Fragment Map in his hand to Hun Miesheng and said indifferently, "Because I do not need to rely on external power to increase my strength, you need not worry that I will take your Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. The clan's plan had originally intended for you to obtain it anyway."

"I understand Young Master's intentions." Hun Miesheng did not dare harbor even the slightest thought of rebellion before him now.

The Hun Clan was a place where the strong devoured the weak. Situations like Hun Tianchen's were rare. Even if he was Hun Tiandi's son, what did being Young Clan Leader amount to? If not for Hun Tiandi, how could the Hall Master of the Hall of Souls possibly be willing to serve as his guardian?

What Hun Tianchen needed to do now was make Hun Miesheng willingly become his guardian even without relying on Hun Tiandi.

"Haibodong, I have taken this map, so naturally I must give you something in return." Hun Tianchen took out a jade bottle and tossed it to Haibodong. "There is a Breaking Curse Pill inside. Take it."

"What? A Breaking Curse Pill?!" Haibodong looked at the purple medicinal pill inside the jade bottle as wild joy and shock surged onto his aged face.

His joy naturally came from finally obtaining the Breaking Curse Pill he had dreamed of, while his shock came from the fact that this handsome young man had not forcibly taken the map from him, but had instead given him this pill.

With the latter's strength, he could have directly taken the Fragment Map and killed him, yet he had not done so.

Haibodong cupped his fists toward Hun Tianchen in thanks.

"Thank you greatly for sparing my life today, sir. I will not forget it."

"Do not rush to thank me. I gave you the pill because I want you to do some things for me." Hun Tianchen wiped his hands, his expression calm.

"As long as it is within my ability, I will certainly help!"

"From today onward, return and continue controlling the Mite'er Family. We will provide you with some good things for you to auction off. During this period, you must expand the Mite'er Family and develop it into one of the rulers of the Jia Ma Empire."

Haibodong did not quite understand why he wanted this, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Also, I want the Mite'er Family to refuse to auction anything from the Xiao Clan of Wū Tǎn City! If you suffer losses because of this trivial matter, you may come to us for compensation. Remember our name: the Hall of Souls!"

"Furthermore, Haibodong, if someone named Xiao Yan comes looking for you, you cannot help him in the slightest. But you must not deliberately target him either. I trust you can grasp the balance here. Do you understand? Otherwise, the Mite'er Family will be destroyed."

Cold sweat streamed down Haibodong's face as he agreed to each of his demands.

"Very good. I think highly of you, Haibodong. I wish you an early breakthrough to Dou Zong."

"Take care, sir..." After respectfully seeing Hun Tianchen off, Haibodong finally let out a breath.

The pressure Hun Tianchen had placed on him was far too great. It felt as though the moment he shook his head, something about him would be devoured.

"So young, yet possessing such terrifying strength. He must be the descendant of some great family."

Haibodong did not dare speculate further. He hurriedly packed his things and set off for the Mite'er Family.

Standing in midair, Hun Tianchen gazed toward the Serpent-People Clan's tribe, the corners of his lips rising slightly.

"Serpent-People Clan, Green Lotus Core Flame, I'm coming."
