Hun Tiandi and Bibi Dong

But compared to Xiao Yan, it was truly a case of a small witch meeting a great witch.

At the edge of the abyss, Hun Tiandi, seated across from Xiao Yan, twitched at the corner of his mouth, unable to find the right words to describe his current state of mind.

A thousand years ago, he had already been a Nine-Star Dou Sheng. A thousand years later, he was still standing in the same place.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, had begun cultivating at four, fallen back to the third stage of Dou Qi at twelve, and resumed his cultivation journey at fifteen.

According to Hun Tiandi's records, the Xiao Yan in the projection was thirty-two years old. In less than twenty years, he had attained an Emperor Realm Soul and the cultivation of a Six-Star Dou Sheng, with overall strength comparable to a Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng!

And now, he had already become Hun Tiandi's equal, both standing in the Dou Di realm. Thinking of his own millennia of arduous cultivation, Hun Tiandi truly felt as though it had all been wasted.

Naturally, Xiao Yan had no way of knowing how devastated Hun Tiandi was at that moment.

As he watched the scene on the Light Screen, something suddenly stirred in Xiao Yan's heart.

Earlier, he had deliberately preserved the life imprint of his ancestor, Xiao Xuan.

He had originally planned that, after becoming a Dou Di, he might be able to use it to resurrect his ancestor.

But after emerging from seclusion, he had immediately faced Hun Tiandi's threat.

He had never had the chance to attend to that imprint of his ancestor.

Now that the battle had temporarily ceased,

he could try activating Xiao Xuan's life imprint,

and temporarily summon his ancestor back in soul form.

Once the battle here was over,

he would use the great power of a Dou Di to reconstruct Xiao Xuan's body.

Even if he could not recover his former Half-Emperor cultivation,

he could at least return to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!

Although he was currently constrained by the power-sealing restriction and could not release his Dou Qi,

it would not be difficult to gather a soul body for his ancestor Xiao Xuan within his own body.

If Xiao Xuan learned that both he and Hun Tiandi had entered the Dou Di realm,

who knew how shocked he would be!

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yan immediately circulated Dou Qi within his body and began reconstructing Xiao Xuan's soul body.

At the same time, part of his attention remained fixed on Hun Tiandi—

the Exposure Projection was nearing its end.

The Xiao Yan on the Light Screen not only possessed an Emperor Realm Soul, but had also reached the Six-Star Dou Sheng realm.

He was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to Dou Di.

Once he advanced to Dou Di and fought Hun Tiandi in a final battle,

this projection would presumably come to an end.

Though he did not know the purpose behind exposing his growth journey,

one thing could be predicted—

when the projection ended,

it would likely be the moment the seals on their bodies were lifted!

At that time, his life-and-death battle with Hun Tiandi would inevitably erupt once more.

Although Hun Tiandi had recovered somewhat from his injuries,

compared to Xiao Yan, who was protected by Heavenly Flames,

he was still far inferior.

When it came to recovery speed, Xiao Yan naturally had the upper hand.

Even if both sides were at their peak,

Hun Tiandi would still be no match for him!

Xiao Yan was certain that

the instant his power returned, Hun Tiandi would choose to flee.

Against a severely injured Hun Tiandi, Xiao Yan was fully confident he could keep him here;

but against Hun Tiandi in his current condition,

even if he burned his Dou Di body, he might not be able to stop him from escaping.

For now, he could only wait and react accordingly...

[After undergoing a complete transformation, Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion and headed straight for Lei Ying to spar.]

[In this clash, Xiao Yan actually held a slight advantage!]

[With this test, Xiao Yan truly joined the ranks of the Dou Qi Continent's strongest experts.]

[Afterward, Xiao Yan exchanged hostages and the Tou She Ancient God Jade with Hun Tiandi.]

[The instant the deal was completed, Xiao Yan immediately ordered a full-scale war!]

[Xiao Yan's Emperor Realm Soul completely caught the Soul Clan off guard!]

[Had the Soul Clan not prepared countermeasures in advance, Xiao Yan would nearly have broken through their defenses alone!]

[The Soul Hall did not hesitate to bring out the Living Dead of their clan. They were clearly prepared to stake everything on a fight to the death!]

[Although they heavily wounded the Soul Clan army, Xiao Yan and the others still failed to keep the Soul Clan's core figures behind—]

[They escaped unscathed with the final fragment of the Tou She Ancient God Jade!]

[The final battle was about to begin!]

[Fortunately, the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion had been discovered in advance, but without the Tou She Ancient God Jade, no one could enter.]

[This place should have been the best defensive line for intercepting the Soul Clan,]

[but in the end, it still fell!]

[The Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill within Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion was seized by the Soul Clan.]

[Xiao Yan and the others could only watch helplessly as Hun Tiandi threw back his head and laughed before leaving.]

[If a Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng insisted on leaving, no one could stop him!]

[To refine the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, Hun Tiandi actually set up a grand formation to blood-sacrifice the entire Central Plains!]

[Only the Sky Mansion Alliance, which had two Nine-Star Dou Shengs, could barely withstand this terrifying formation.]

[Even so, they could only protect themselves and had no power to break through the formation.]

[More cruelly still, the Soul Clan did not merely blood-sacrifice the Central Plains,]

[even their own clan members and the captured descendants of the Eight Ancient Clans became sacrifices!]

[All of it was to complete the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and help Hun Tiandi ascend to Dou Di!]

The Soul Clan's actions sent shivers down the spines of countless viewers across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds!

Though the written account consisted of only a few brief lines,

witnessing the sight of countless living beings being blood-sacrificed with their own eyes

was enough to make one's hair stand on end and leave one chilled to the bone!

They said those who achieved great things did not fuss over trifles,

but what Hun Tiandi had done had long surpassed the realm of "trifles"!

The cruelty of his methods was simply intolerable to heaven and earth!

Upon closer consideration, every Soul Clan member carried some of Hun Tiandi's bloodline,

yet he showed no pity as he sacrificed his entire clan—

such ruthlessness was enough to make anyone shudder!

Douluo World—

Bibi Dong gazed at the Light Screen with a complicated expression.

She had once believed that, after suffering that calamity, she had already fallen into darkness,

becoming a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Yet compared to Hun Tiandi, she was practically a compassionate Saintess!

Though both forces bore the name "Soul,"

the Spirit Hall was merely overbearing in its conduct,

and that overbearingness was mostly directed at the world's top powers.

Toward ordinary people, it could even be called approachable.

Whether or not it was for the sake of recruiting talent,

that friendliness was still genuine.

But the Soul Hall?

It was not merely unrelated to the words "approachable";

it was simply a den of demons that delighted in slaughter!

By comparison, the Spirit Hall was practically a charity organization!

Bibi Dong was not the only one who thought so.

Even Tang San, the Spirit Hall's sworn enemy, had no choice but to admit it.

Though the Spirit Hall was still an evil path in his eyes,

at least it had never committed such utterly monstrous acts.

The worst thing it had done was no more than destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Yet Tang San did not know

that the Spirit Hall's extermination of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect back then

had not only stemmed from Bibi Dong's ambition to unify the continent,

but also from her personal desire to vent Yu Xiaogang's humiliation.

Battle Through the Heavens World—

"It seems this confrontation is about to reach its conclusion."

Hun Tiandi suddenly broke the silence.

Xiao Yan knew that there had to be another motive behind him speaking now.

He ignored him, merely focusing intently on the scenes within the Light Screen.

When Hun Tiandi blood-sacrificed the Central Plains back then,

Xiao Yan had still been in the Heavenly Tomb, receiving the Dou Di inheritance.

He had not witnessed that horrific scene with his own eyes.

Now, looking at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, fury surged through Xiao Yan's chest.

Though most of those people had no connection to him,

and even during the war against the Soul Clan,

they had once stood by and watched,

with such slaughter laid bare before him,

how could someone of his temperament remain unmoved?

"...Hun Tiandi, you will pay the price for what you have done today."

"Heh. Once the projection ends, if I recover my strength and choose to leave, how will you stop me?"

The situation Xiao Yan could foresee,

how could Hun Tiandi fail to understand it?

A Dou Di body was difficult to damage,

but once injured, it was not easy to recover.

At present, he had recovered barely one or two tenths of his injuries,

but compared to before, it was already like heaven and earth.
