I Am the Future Great Emperor, Killing Enemies Across Levels Is Nothing

"I am a future Great Emperor; killing enemies above my rank is nothing more than a trivial matter."

Xiao Fan looked indifferent, his expression suggesting that this was merely a daily routine for him.

For a moment, both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were stunned by this subtle display of arrogance.

Yao Lao shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "You brat, you really are boundless in your arrogance."

However, he also knew that with Xiao Fan's natural talent, he would be a peerless genius even in the Central Plains, that gathering place of countless elites.

Damn, this guy is such a show-off!

Xiao Yan grumbled inwardly, yet his face remained plastered with a flattering smile.

"Brother Fan! Please accept this younger brother's respects!"

Xiao Yan let out a strange cry and, like a pile of mush, clung to Xiao Fan's thigh, fawning, "Brother Fan, from now on, I'm following your lead."

Don't make me laugh; this was a Dou Zong powerhouse. If he didn't cling to such a thigh now, was he supposed to rely on hard work?

As for integrity? Having the soul of someone who had lived two lives, Xiao Yan didn't believe integrity was of any use in the face of absolute strength.

"Hmph, hmph..."

Xiao Fan was very pleased, the smile on his face growing increasingly smug. He then unhurriedly took the Heavenly Flame out of his Storage Ring.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, and a scorching aura rushed toward them, as if it intended to burn everything to ash.

The air began to distort, and the surrounding flowers and plants withered instantly.

Yao Lao's expression turned grave. He stared fixedly at the cluster of flames and exclaimed, "This is a Heavenly Flame?"

And it was the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked 19th?

This type of flame possessed immense power, allowing a cultivator's Dou Qi to carry a potent high-temperature effect, enhancing both the quality and lethality of their energy.

Furthermore, it was of great help in alchemy; with it, one could refine high-quality medicinal pills.

"That's right, though I've already absorbed most of its origin."

Xiao Fan said nonchalantly, his tone carrying a hint of indifference, as if this were nothing remarkable.

"I'll leave this remaining portion to Xiao Yanzi..."

As soon as Xiao Fan's voice fell, Xiao Yan was instantly moved to tears, his voice trembling with excitement: "Brother Fan! From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

After Yao Lao's guidance over this period, he knew clearly how important a Heavenly Flame was to an alchemist, and it could even allow his Burning Mantra to evolve!

Wuu wuu, is this the charm of lying flat? I love it!

Xiao Yan was so excited he nearly jumped up, his face brimming with irrepressible joy.

His heart was filled with longing and anticipation for the future, as if he could already see himself with vastly increased strength, dominating the region.

"Young man, what is it that you want?"

Yao Lao stared at Xiao Fan with a serious expression.

Since this was a partnership, he would naturally have to contribute something. Yet, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he truly couldn't figure out what he possessed that the other party would need.

Could it be the Bone Chilling Flame he possessed?

Thinking of how Xiao Fan had just mentioned devouring most of the Green Lotus Core Flame's origin, Yao Lao couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Could this brat also have a cultivation method similar to the Burning Mantra? One capable of absorbing energy to evolve?

It had to be said, as an old fellow who had lived for so long, his guess was quite accurate.

Xiao Fan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing major. Help me refine a puppet, and while you're at it, pass on the puppet-refining techniques you've mastered to me."

Yao Lao was slightly startled, though he didn't question how Xiao Fan knew he possessed such techniques.

"You want to refine a puppet?"

His voice carried a hint of surprise.

"Mm... I want to recycle this soul."

Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"I see, but this requires a physical body..."

Yao Lao stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

"As for a body, I've already prepared one. This is the former sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect..."

Xiao Fan said casually, and as he spoke, he pulled out the corpse of Yun Shan.

Yao Lao nodded.

"I understand. Leave this matter to me..."

But at this moment, Xiao Yan was shocked beyond measure.

"Th-this is the former sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect!?"

His eyes went round, his mouth hung wide open, and his face was filled with disbelief.

No way, Brother Fan, are you really this badass? The Misty Cloud Sect is the hegemon of the Gama Empire!

"You went straight to their doorstep and took out their former sect leader?"

"Could it be that you did it for me?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but think back to that time a while ago when his fiancée from the Misty Cloud Sect came to break off their engagement.

A wave of emotion stirred in his heart.

Brother Fan actually did it for him...

"Yeah, don't look at me like that. It wasn't me. A mere Dou Huang wouldn't even leave a corpse behind if I slapped them."

Xiao Fan shrugged, shattering his fantasy, and briefly explained what had happened.

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, realizing he had jumped to the wrong conclusion.

He sighed and changed the subject, "I never expected that someone who was once a prominent figure in the Gama Empire would go down such a twisted path just for power."

His face was full of reflection, and he began to ponder more deeply about his own pursuit of strength.

Dou Zong...

Is it really that difficult to break through from Dou Huang to Dou Zong?

So difficult that even a peak figure of the Gama Empire had to sell himself like a dog without even gaining the opportunity.

For a moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but envy Xiao Fan's peerless talent; compared to him, he was truly too ordinary.

In the past, Xiao Yan's greatest dream was merely to reach Dou Huang and live as a local tyrant in this land.

Seeming to notice Xiao Yan's dejection, Xiao Fan stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao Yanzi. A while ago, I gazed into the River of Time and saw that you will achieve extraordinary things in the future."

"How extraordinary?"

Xiao Yan looked up, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Hmm, beyond Dou Di, I suppose..."

Xiao Fan smiled. In the future, Xiao Yan would become the master of the Endless Fire Territory in the Great Thousand World, a hegemon in his own right.

"Holy crap, I'm actually that awesome!"

[Beep! Xiao Yan trusts your words implicitly. Points +1000!]

Fine, fine. He never believes my usual bragging, but he sure believes this kind of stuff!

Xiao Fan punched the guy lightly and then said, "I'm off, I need to go back and get some sleep."

Xiao Fan let out a yawn and strolled back to his room.

The moment he opened the door, he caught a faint, refreshing scent—a fragrance he knew all too well.

It was the scent of a young girl... yes, that fragrance.

"Little Doctor Fairy? Where are you?"

He called out, his voice echoing in the quiet room.

He soon discovered that she had already fallen asleep on his bed.

She lay there quietly, her face like a delicate porcelain doll, her fair skin glowing with a soft luster under the moonlight.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her rosy lips were curled into a faint upward curve, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Her jet-black hair was spread out like a waterfall, resting casually across the pillow.

It seemed she had intended to wait for him but had fallen asleep first.

Xiao Fan felt a bit helpless; ever since that night, she had become increasingly clingy.

Xiao Fan's bed was large, big enough to fit several people, so sleeping together wasn't really an issue.

He walked to the bedside and gently picked her up, his movements incredibly soft.

Yet, even such a gentle motion was enough to wake her.

"Mmm..."
