Not Bad, This Little Girl Can Brag Better Than Me (Seeking Follow-up Reads!)

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh! Is this the small country in the Northwest Continent?"

The leading black-robed protector let out a sharp, grating, and strange laugh.

"The Dou Qi of heaven and earth here is truly barren..."

A hunched protector frowned, his face full of disdain as he spoke.

"Why would people from the Ancient Clan come to a place like this?"

Another protector muttered in confusion, a trace of bewilderment showing in his eyes.

"It's just a Dou Huang, after all..."

"The higher-ups only told us to come here to monitor the situation. We only need to take control of one of this country's factions to remain hidden in the shadows..."

A flash of ruthlessness crossed the black-robed protector's eyes as he spoke coldly.

"Then let us search..."

"Let us see which faction is more suitable..."

As these words fell, the numerous protectors dispersed like ghosts, vanishing into the vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, high above the Tagor Desert, Xiao Fan hovered silently in the sky, his body surrounded by endless thunder.

Under the reflection of the lightning, his figure resembled a towering divine mountain, radiating a shocking aura.

At this moment, he was immersed in a deep comprehension of the Beginningless Scripture; every breath he took seemed to trigger a resonance of energy between heaven and earth.

His Dao body was becoming increasingly terrifying under the tempering of the thunder.

Those bolts of lightning, containing the power of destruction, not only failed to harm him in the slightest but instead acted like tamed forces, transforming into energy that nourished him.

"Hoo..."

After a long while, Xiao Fan opened his eyes slightly.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes devoid of fear, instead carrying a sense of provocation and arrogance as he actively rushed toward the rolling thunder.

"Hahahaha! This lightning tribulation of yours is neither painful nor itchy!"

Xiao Fan's arrogant laughter rang through the entire sky like a great bell, his voice filled with disdain for the tribulation.

The dense, dark clouds seemed provoked by his laughter, and another round of muffled thunder rolled out, as if venting endless rage.

Immediately following, countless bolts of lightning, like silver giant dragons, struck down at Xiao Fan in unison.

Each bolt of the tribulation contained terrifying power, enough to instantly reduce a peak Dou Zun-level expert to ashes.

However, having undergone another transformation, Xiao Fan was now beginning to reveal the terrifying nature of his Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus.

He smiled indifferently, casually dissipating his protective scriptures, and stood calmly amidst the lightning as if bathing in sunlight. His figure flickered; at times he threw a punch, at others a kick, and every movement precisely shattered the incoming lightning. For a time, lightning splashed everywhere, and the roaring sound was incessant.

Below, Qing Lin watched this scene with many Snake-People.

A look of worship shone in Qing Lin's eyes; she clenched her hands tightly, trembling with excitement.

"Look! This is the Great Emperor! His strength is so terrifying it exceeds your imagination!"

She shouted, feeling a sense of shared honor.

"I ask you, do you dare to face the light of the thunder directly?"

Qing Lin turned to the Snake-People beside her and asked loudly.

"Heaven-Defying Slash of the Ages, Shattering Yin-Yang and Defying the Firmament! This is the Great Emperor!"

Qing Lin kept boasting about Xiao Fan, her exaggerated words like a surging tide, wave after wave.

The experts of the Snake-People Tribe listened to Qing Lin's words, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

They stared fixedly at the figure standing proudly in the sky, as if he were the only faith in their hearts.

[Ding! The Snake-People Tribe is immensely convinced by your deeds, obtained 3000 Bragging Points!]

[Ding! The Snake-People Tribe is immensely convinced by your deeds, obtained 5000 Bragging Points!]

The system's notification sound rang in Xiao Fan's mind. Xiao Fan looked down at Qing Lin below and nodded in appreciation.

Very good, worthy of being this Emperor's mouthpiece.

He looked up at the sky once more...

Time passed like a white horse crossing a crevice, fleeting in an instant; three days slipped away quietly.

Under Xiao Fan's tenacious resistance, the thunder in the sky finally exhausted all its power.

The dark clouds that had originally covered the sky now became thin and dim, and the roaring of the thunder gradually weakened.

The light of the lightning bolts also grew faint; they seemed to be making a final struggle, yet they were powerless to do anything.

Finally, with a muffled, unwilling rumble of thunder, the dark clouds dispersed helplessly, and sunlight once again spilled onto the earth.

Xiao Fan, stepping on the void, bathed in the warm sunlight; his figure appeared incomparably tall under the sun's reflection.

At this moment, he was like a god or a demon, radiating an aura that inspired awe.

He could clearly feel that his Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus had reached minor completion; the power within his body was like a surging ocean, vast and turbulent.

"Not bad..."

Xiao Fan whispered to himself, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

The effects of the Thunder Tribulation Body Tempering far exceeded his expectations; he didn't even know how strong he was now!

Ah... someone come and beat me up, Dou Sheng!

"Qing Lin..."

Xiao Fan turned his head to look down and called out softly.

"Your servant is here!"

Qing Lin responded immediately, her voice tinged with a hint of joy and excitement.

"Pass on my order: assemble the Demon Division. I intend to impart a technique..."

Xiao Fan's voice rang out, carrying a trace of majesty.

"Yes!"

Qing Lin accepted the order and left. Soon, numerous snake-people gathered rapidly from all directions.

They lined up neatly below Xiao Fan, each of them tilting their heads upward, their eyes filled with fanaticism and anticipation.

"My Lord!!"

The voices of the snake-people merged together like a surging sea wave, grand in momentum, echoing throughout the entire desert.

Months had passed, and the Snake-Person Tribe, tempered by the Heaven-Swallowing Array, now boasted twelve new Dou Huang, dozens of Dou Wang, and countless powerhouses at the Dou Ling level!

Because of this, they were filled with gratitude and awe toward the man in the sky.

"Today, I will teach you two arrays..."

Xiao Fan's voice sounded above their heads, clearly reaching the ears of every snake-person.

"The Eight Trigrams Immortal-Trapping Array... the Myriad Spirits Immortal-Slaying Array..."

Xiao Fan explained the mysteries of the two arrays in detail.

The Eight Trigrams Immortal-Trapping Array required eight snake-people to form a group, standing precisely according to the Eight Trigrams positions, circulating their Dou Qi through a special method of connection.

Although each individual's cultivation realm was relatively low, when their combined strength converged, the resulting Dou Qi loop could generate a powerful interference force; even high-level powerhouses would be trapped within the array, temporarily losing their sense of direction.

Even a Dou Zun, attempting to tear through space to escape, would be unable to break free from the restraints of this array.

And when an enemy was trapped in the Eight Trigrams Immortal-Trapping Array, four mid-to-high-level snake-people would be needed to execute the "Myriad Spirits Saint-Strangling Immortal-Slaying Array."

This array allowed lower-level snake-people to use the formation to gather the surrounding Dou Qi energy of heaven and earth. Once a high-level powerhouse entered the array, the formation would instantly trigger a Dou Qi riot; this violent energy, like a surging tide, would impact and weaken the strength of the high-level powerhouse.

In this situation, the snake-people could rely on their numerical advantage and the powerful buffs of the arrays to defeat high-level powerhouses who were previously unreachable.

Roughly calculated, an array formed by eight Dou Wang could trap a Dou Zong, and then another array formed by four Dou Huang could strangle that Dou Zong powerhouse!

"As expected of the Great Emperor! The arrays he gives out so casually are this powerful!"

A snake-person shouted excitedly.

"Did you see that! My Lord once wiped out an Immortal King with a single array!"

Qing Lin began to brag loudly again; hmm... her phrasing was becoming increasingly exaggerated.

"Thank you, My Lord!"

The snake-people shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the clouds.

[Beep! The snake-people are deeply convinced of your deeds; you have gained 10,000 Bragging Points!]

Hearing the system's notification, Xiao Fan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. When had he ever said he killed an Immortal King?

However, a glimmer of gratification flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Not bad... this little girl is even better at bragging than he is...
