Flame King, Nalan King!

After taking the pills Fang Yu had given them, both Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran broke through to the Dou King realm at top speed, becoming formidable experts even within the entire empire. After all, there were not many Dou King experts in the whole empire.

Yet even so, both of them felt that they did not have long to live.

"Just as he said, I have at most two or three years left. But a Dou King truly is extraordinary. Just this Dou Qi alone is more than a hundred times greater than before."

After her breakthrough, Nalan Yanran immediately went to find her grandfather. Even her father had not successfully broken through to become a Dou King yet, and would need several more years, perhaps even over a decade. This depended entirely on talent and luck. Breaking through to the Dou King realm was no easy matter anywhere on the Dou Qi Continent, especially in a remote place like the empire. In Central Province, Dou Kings were as common as ants, too numerous to count. But in a remote region like this, a Dou King was already considered among the notable few.

If a clan possessed even one Dou King, its reputation, strength, and territory under its control would all greatly expand. Most importantly, a Dou King's lifespan could reach over a hundred years. For a Dou Emperor, living to two hundred was no difficult feat. A Dou Ancestor could live anywhere from over two hundred to three hundred years, though that mostly depended on luck. A Dou Venerate could live beyond five hundred years. A Dou Saint could live for over a thousand years. Once one reached the Dou Saint realm, living for a thousand years was nothing difficult, and they could even surpass that. Gu Yuan,
