Tang San: Xiao Yan Relied on Luck, While I Relied on Myself

Thinking of this,

the excitement that had swept through the Heavens and Myriad Worlds at Xiao Yan's appearance abruptly cooled.

What a carefully arranged path to the Emperor Realm!

Xiao Yan was truly the envy of all!

But before envying him, they should first kill Hun Tiandi.

After all, he was the true calamity.

Douluo World—

"Third Brother, Xiao Yan's cheat is even more outrageous than yours!"

"He has not even reached Limit Douluo, yet he directly ascended to godhood!"

Xiao Wu said indignantly from the side.

At this moment, she could not help comparing Tang San with Xiao Yan,

only to find that no matter how she compared them, her Third Brother fell far short.

Counting it all up, Tang San awakened with Innate Full Soul Power at the age of six.

Now, at twenty-five, he had spent nineteen years attaining godhood!

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, had begun cultivating at the age of four, yet had made almost no progress before turning fifteen.

From fifteen until attaining the Dou Di Realm, he was only thirty-three years old!

At most, he had used merely eighteen years!

Of course, that calculation referred to real time.

If the time within the Heavenly Tomb were included, Xiao Yan's advancement speed was actually inferior to Tang San's!

But a Dou Di over there was far stronger than the gods of this world!

With a casual strike, he could split heaven and earth!

Even if this world's gods exhausted all their strength, they could hardly wield such power!

How could they compare to a Dou Di's effortless might?

Therefore, when Xiao Wu witnessed Xiao Yan go from a Seven-Star Dou Sheng,

equivalent to a Level 97 Title Douluo in this world, to becoming an Emperor in a single leap,

an intense unwillingness immediately surged in her heart!

Why was Xiao Yan's cheat so powerful!

Her Third Brother had endured countless hardships,

and even needed her, Da Ming, and Er Ming to sacrifice themselves,

before attaining godhood at this age!

Xiao Yan had received no sacrifice, so why had he advanced so quickly!

Tang San pursed his lips and forced out a smile.

"When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility upon someone, after all, the Dou Qi World has reached a critical point of life and death."

"In such a crisis, it is only reasonable for a Dou Di capable of opposing Hun Tiandi to emerge."

"Otherwise, that world would likely have been destroyed long ago."

Tang San's words contained not the slightest recognition of Xiao Yan.

Every line implied

that Xiao Yan had achieved what he had today

entirely because circumstances had forced it.

Had a powerful enemy like Hun Tiandi not appeared,

Xiao Yan could never have become a Dou Di so quickly!

In other words, Xiao Yan becoming a Dou Di was nothing more than luck!

It was nowhere near as solid as Tang San becoming a god at twenty-five!

Everything Xiao Yan had was obtained through cheats,

while all of Tang San's achievements had come through steady, down-to-earth struggle!

Tang San comforted himself like this inwardly.

Yet he seemed to have forgotten

that without the sacrifices of three soul beasts,

how could he have reached his current realm?

[Xiao Yan's appearance undoubtedly shattered Hun Tiandi's state of mind!]

[He had spent a thousand years rising from a Nine-Star Dou Sheng to the Emperor Realm, while Xiao Yan had reached the same realm in only a hundred years. Anyone facing such a disparity would inevitably be shaken!]

[Yet Hun Tiandi was, after all, a formidable hero of his generation. Within three breaths, he had steadied his emotions once more.]

[So what if Xiao Yan had become a Dou Di?]

[In terms of combat experience, why would he fear such a young junior?]

[In terms of cultivation foundation, he had accumulated a thousand years of experience as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, while Xiao Yan had merely leaped up from the Seven-Star Dou Sheng!]

[Moreover, he had sacrificed the lives of more than half of Central Plains before ascending to the Emperor Realm!]

[Could Xiao Yan truly stand shoulder to shoulder with him merely through Tou She Ancient God's inheritance?]

[No matter how one looked at it, the advantage remained on his side!]

[Thinking this, Hun Tiandi gradually regained his composure.]

[Xiao Yan looked down upon the devastated Central Plains, fury boiling in his chest like magma.]

["To become a Dou Di, you sacrificed so many lives across the Dou Qi Continent. You are truly vicious beyond measure!"]

[Hun Tiandi sneered. "As long as I can achieve my goal, I do not care in the slightest what the process looks like."]

["You will surely be reviled by the Dou Qi Continent for tens of thousands of years, perhaps even for all eternity!"]

["And as long as I win, then the one who will be reviled from now on will only be you!"]

[Before his words had even faded, Hun Tiandi transformed into a blood-red bolt of lightning and shot forward!]

[The Emperor battle erupted with a thunderous crash!]

[Heaven and earth shook violently from their clash. A casual strike from a Dou Di could shatter mountains and tear open space!]

[While fighting fiercely, Xiao Yan still had to divide his attention to protect the Sky Mansion Alliance. Hun Tiandi, however, had no such concerns. He even activated the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade Array, sacrificing every Soul Clan expert!]

[The Soul Clan, whose strength had originally surged due to Hun Tiandi's advancement, now saw even Seven-Star and Eight-Star Dou Sheng become sacrifices for the blood blades!]

[Yet even after paying such a price, he still could not withstand the Eternal Ruler condensed from Xiao Yan's twenty-two Heavenly Flames!]

[In the end, despite exhausting the power of his entire clan, Hun Tiandi could only force a mutual defeat with Xiao Yan.]

[At this moment, the remaining power within Xiao Yan was slightly stronger, but both sides were already nearing exhaustion. If Hun Tiandi insisted on fleeing, Xiao Yan no longer had the strength to stop him.]

[But Xiao Yan's next choice exceeded everyone's expectations!]

[Blazing flames rose from his Emperor body. This was the ultimate forbidden technique unique to one who proved the Dao through Heavenly Flames—Burning the Dou Di Body!]

[He traded his life for power beyond all limits!]

["Have you gone mad, Xiao Yan?!" Hun Tiandi cried out in shock and fury.]

[At best, this move would cost him all his cultivation. At worst, both body and soul would be utterly destroyed! Hun Tiandi could not understand why anyone would go so far for mere ants!]

[If it were him, he would only make the world sacrifice itself for him.]

[Yet Xiao Yan chose to burn himself away for all living beings!]

["I shall become Heavenly Flames and seal you away for a thousand generations and ten thousand ages! Hun Tiandi, this catastrophe should come to an end!"]

[Xiao Yan's declaration echoed through heaven and earth as his Emperor body completely turned into resplendent flames. Twenty-three Heavenly Flames intertwined and bloomed above the plaza, piercing through space and swallowing Hun Tiandi!]

[Only an unwilling roar echoed through the void for a long time...]

[As Hun Tiandi was eternally sealed, the calamity sweeping across the continent finally came to an end.]

This earth-shaking battle had finally ended,

and the viewers throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds all let out long breaths.

Though they had not personally experienced the battlefield,

though supreme beings existed whose strength far surpassed those two,

the footage seemed to possess a strange magic,

allowing them to experience the despair of Central Plains as if they were there,

to feel the hope Xiao Yan brought,

and finally to have their hearts surge at his righteous act of sacrificing himself!

Xiao Yan and Hun Tiandi had perished together.

Though the ending was not perfect,

he had ultimately protected the Dou Qi Continent.

Even though what Xiao Yan had initially wanted

was merely to protect his master,

his close friends, and the women he loved.

Battle Through the Heavens World—

When the footage reached the moment Hun Tiandi was sealed,

Hun Tiandi, within the deep ravine, suddenly tensed.

He was shocked that Xiao Yan possessed such a resolute forbidden technique,

but the imminent end of the footage also set alarm bells ringing in his mind!

Since the greatest villain had been suppressed,

the story would likely end here.

Although the power of Burning the Dou Di Body exceeded all imagination,

for him, whose injuries were gradually recovering and who had long been prepared,

it might not be impossible to retreat unscathed!

As long as the green hills remained,

there would always be another chance to fight.

Preserving his life had always been his first choice!

At this moment, Xiao Yan was likewise fully alert.

How could he not know what Hun Tiandi was planning?

But his power had not yet recovered, making it difficult to forcibly stop him.

Fortunately, Xiao Xuan's soul had already awakened within his sea of consciousness,

and he was doing everything he could to help him restore the power of his Emperor Realm Soul.
