Don't Show Off, or Lightning Will Strike You

The Fiery Emperor, the controller of the third layer of the Abyss Plane, is a name that every member of the Blood God Legion must know.

He was the strongest Abyss Emperor the Douluo Federation had ever faced.

A peak powerhouse possessing Divine Power, not far from becoming True God.

If Di Tian hadn't intervened six thousand years ago, the Douluo Federation would have had to pay an unknown price.

At least in the eyes of Heartless Douluo, if only a few Four-Word Battle Armor masters from the Blood God Legion were to deal with Fiery Emperor, his only solution would be to use his and Passionate Douluo's Martial Soul Fusion Skill to stop the opponent. Otherwise, the four of them might not be able to stop Fiery Emperor.

"It's actually Fiery Emperor— " Zhang Huanyun couldn't help but frown.

He had expected it to attract a big fish, but he never imagined it would be the third-ranked being in the Abyss.

At the entrance to the Abyss Passage, a figure slowly coalesced within a pillar of crimson light.

It was a tall figure clad in blue-purple armor. The armor's surface shimmered with a dark luster, as if forged from solidified Abyss energy, with each armor plate faintly displaying dark red patterns.

His face was hidden beneath the helmet, only an impenetrable darkness, and a pair of eyes, glowing with a purple aura, coldly staring at the Blood God Legion's defenses.

Those eyes were devoid of any emotion, yet they sent a shiver down the spine of everyone who met their gaze.

As all the Titled Douluo Abyss Creatures completed their sacrifice and a large number of Abyss Creatures died, the figure of the Fiery Emperor within the pillar of light rapidly transformed from illusory to real, from faint to dense, and in just a few breaths, it solidified from a projection into its true form.

At that very moment, an overwhelming and suffocating aura swept across the entire area like a tsunami, making the soldiers on the Blood God Legion's defensive line almost unable to breathe, as if they were facing True God.

According to the ranking system of the Douluo Continent, the Fiery Emperor, who possesses Divine Power, is at Level 100. However, his Divine Power has not yet transformed into true Divine Consciousness, so he cannot be considered True God.

However, the aura based on Divine Power was no different from that of True God, which is why every soldier on the Blood God Legion's defensive line felt absolute suppression in terms of rank.

"This is... the Fiery Emperor?" A Blood God Legion soldier on his shift could't help but swallow hard. "Six thousand years ago, this was the kind of enemy our sage faced?"

"It is said that even His Majesty the Di Tian suffered considerable injuries when facing this opponent before he could defeat him and force him back to the Abyss Plane."

Another veteran responded in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the figure, "Now that I see him, he truly lives up to his reputation as a powerhouse who has touched upon the God Rank— "

"Wait, look behind him, there's a huge army of Abyss warriors and Abyss King coming from the Abyss Passage!"

As everyone's gaze passed over Fiery Emperor, they saw that at the entrance of the Abyss Passage, the crimson pillar of light had not yet dissipated, and a dark tide of Abyss Creatures was surging out. Behind these creatures, several enormous figures could be vaguely seen coalescing, each exuding an aura no less powerful than the three Abyss King from before, and perhaps even stronger.

Upon seeing this, many members of the Blood God Legion who were unaware that today's events were part of a scheme felt a chill in their hearts.

Still led by the Fiery Emperor, the Abyss Creatures gathered far exceeded those of a level three Abyss Tide —was the Abyss trying to recreate the invasion war of six thousand years ago today?

Are they, the Blood God Legion, destined to face alone an enemy that took hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the entire Federation to withstand six thousand years ago?

Thinking of this, Zhang Huanyun's expression also became serious.

Or rather, after the appearance of Fiery Emperor, he no longer had that relaxed feeling of sitting on the sidelines.

When he saw that Fiery Emperor's gaze wasn't on them, but instead directed at the seal of the Abyss Passage, he immediately became wary and quickly ordered, "Old Cao, immediately set up the Blood God Great Array to stabilize the seal. We can't let Fiery Emperor Lie completely destroy the seal and turn the situation back to what it was six thousand years ago. Now is not the time for the final battle!"

The Blood God Great Array was developed by a group of powerful figures in the past to seal the Abyss Passage. It can mobilize various forces from different planes and use the Douluo Plane's own repulsion of the Abyss Plane to achieve the purpose of sealing the Abyss Passage.

The Blood God Great Array Formation wasn't activated before because the big fish hadn't taken the bait. Now that Fiery Emperor has appeared, we can't let that happen again. Otherwise, if Fiery Emperor were to completely break the seal, the situation could easily spiral out of control.

The Heartless Douluo understood the gravity of the situation and simply said, "Once the Blood God Great Array is activated, the Blood God Battalion will be unable to assist in the battle. The rest is up to you."

At this point, Cao Dezhi swayed and rose into the air, shouting loudly to the Blood God Battalion: "Blood God Battalion, prepare the Blood God Great Array!"

The eight Blood Gods straightened up and responded in unison.

Seeing this, Zhang Huanyun didn't dare to be negligent. He waved both hands simultaneously, and nine golden rays burst forth from his palms, shooting towards the cave walls around the exit of the passage. The golden rays drew nine dazzling arcs in the air and accurately disappeared into the cave walls.

The moment the nine tokens embedded themselves into the mountain wall, the entire Abyss Passage trembled violently. Starting from the tokens, large swaths of golden patterns surged out like vines, rapidly spreading into the depths of the passage. Wherever they passed, the previously crumbling seal regained its support.

The rumbling inside the Abyss Passage continued, but it had noticeably stabilized somewhat.

Nine circular platforms slowly emerged from the mountain wall, their surfaces engraved with array patterns of the same origin as the token, radiating a soft yet resilient golden light.

Upon seeing this, the nine Blood Gods each leaped up and landed steadily on the platform, where they sat cross-legged in meditation.

"Use my blood as a catalyst!"

The Heartless Douluo roared, and blood mist burst from his pores, merging into the platform beneath him. The other eight people acted simultaneously, chanting incantations, and nine streams of blood mist fell, instantly illuminating the depths of the Abyss Passage. A black mist surged, and a dark purple halo desperately tried to rise, but was firmly suppressed by the Magic Array.

"Innate spirits, heed my guidance! Souls of Douluo, forge your foundation!" the Heartless Douluo shouted, as golden light soared into the sky from his seat.

Blood Two: "Water Spirit, heed my guidance; Douluo Soul, forge your foundation."

Blood Three: "Spirit of Fire----"

Blood Nine: "Spirit of Space, heed my guidance; Soul of Douluo, forge your foundation."

The golden patterns engraved on the sealing Magic Array suddenly shone brightly, and the spatial passage that was tearing apart below abruptly stopped. Not only did it fail to expand further, but it even showed signs of healing.

Just as Fiery Emperor was about to destroy the seal on the Abyss Passage, displeasure suddenly appeared on his face.

"You think you can stop me from opening the Abyss Passage?"

Fiery Emperor Lie snorted coldly, his figure transforming into a Blood God Great Array Formation—where the Heartless Douluo was maintaining the guidance of the Innate Spirit. Although the core was the pivot of the nine people, the Heartless Douluo was clearly the core; if it were destroyed, the entire Blood God Great Array would collapse instantly.

"Stop him!" Zhang Huanyun sharply.

The Blood God Legion's Soul Cannon array opened fire simultaneously. Ten Thousand Paths of blazing soul-guided beams and Soul Cannon Shell ripped through the night sky, weaving together an impenetrable net of fire. Mixed in with these were proton rays and Heavy Ion Ray that surpassed proton rays; if they hit, they would be enough to instantly annihilate Super Douluo and severely injure Limit Douluo.

However, this defensive line, which was powerful enough to pose a threat to Quasi-God, had no effect on Fiery Emperor in the slightest.

As the Divine Power within him surged, a Small World quietly took shape around him, and he transformed himself into the absolute ruler of this Small World.

All attacks, whether soul-guided beams, proton rays, or Heavy Ion Ray, were forcibly suppressed, deflected, and annihilated by him with Divine Power once they entered the Small World, unable to harm him in the slightest.

This is the power of Divine Power force: to Simulation an independent Small World within a certain range, and the caster is the sole ruler within it.

Although Yun Ming and the others had briefly obtained Divine Power before, their application of it was not as mature as that of Fiery Emperor, so they did not display such power.

Now that the Fiery Emperor had been revealed, Zhang Huanyun's heart sank.

Clearly, it would be more appropriate to use brute force to break through the Small World Simulation the Fiery Emperor. While proton rays and Heavy Ion Ray are strong in penetrating defenses and detonating inside the human body to attack, their magnitude is actually not as powerful as that of advanced Fixed Soul Cannon Shell. Therefore, using them in this situation would be of little effect.

Knowing that using various remote Soul Tool to block Fiery Emperor was ineffective, Zhang Huanyun took a deep breath, and his Four-Word Battle Armor appeared. In the next instant, he burst into action, transforming into a streak of silver-blue light, flying straight into the sky, with beams of silver light shooting out from the mirror behind him.

"Space, lock!"

While suspended in mid-air, Zhang Huanyun clasped her hands together in prayer.

The space within a hundred feet of Fiery Emperor instantly solidified like amber, with layers of silver cracks emerging from the void, weaving into a massive sealing net, attempting to imprison his Small World along with him.

At the same instant, two figures shot out from both sides.

On the left, the Passionate Douluo Zang Xin moved swiftly, his Passionate Sword gleaming, his Third Soul Ring shining brightly.

The Third Soul Skill, Remorse, amplifies the enemy's most painful and regretful feelings a hundred or a thousand times, making them unable to bear it and tormenting their mind.

On the right, Hu Jie, the Smiling Douluo, is best at close combat, but he dares not rush forward against the Fiery Emperor. So he mobilizes the energy of heaven and earth and unleashes a Self-Created Soul Skill.

Smiling Universe!

Suddenly, he thrust out his abdomen, and a perfectly round golden light shot out from his bulging belly. At the same time, he twisted his hips, and an even more solid wave of primordial energy exploded from behind him. The two forces converged in front of him, forming a rotating yin-yang vortex, carrying an astonishing shockwave, and rushed straight towards Fiery Emperor Lie.

The "Remorse" Soul Skill of the Passionate Douluo is a spiritual Soul Skill. It strikes after the opponent but arrives first. The Fiery Emperor pauses slightly, recalling his defeat six thousand years ago. The deepest pain and regret in his heart are amplified under the catalysis of the Soul Skill.

However, he returned to normal in just a moment.

Fiery Emperor Lie clenched his fist, his furious will exploding from his sea of consciousness, forcefully expelling the power of Remorse. "You dare to try and shake my mind? You are not worthy!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a vast divine Divine Power erupted. The spatial blockade network that Zhang Huanyun had carefully laid out shattered instantly, turning into countless silver lights that scattered in all directions; Hu Jie's attack was also instantly dissipated under the impact of the Divine Power, and he retreated several steps.

"How dare a group of ants compete with the brilliance of the Haoyue?"

Fiery Emperor Lie stood tall, his gaze sweeping over the crowd like a knife, his voice echoing across the land, "Summon Di Tian!"

"Fiery Emperor! Fiery Emperor! Fiery Emperor!"

The cheers of the Abyss Creatures all around surged forth like a tidal wave.

Zhang Huanyun's face turned ugly.

In just a few seconds of exchange, everyone had witnessed the power of the Fiery Emperor. Faced with the Fiery Emperor's arrogant words, he was speechless, his anger surging but unable to refute.

Just then, he suddenly saw thunderclouds gathering above Fiery Emperor Lie's head!

Boom!

Then, a thick bolt of Seven Colors Divine Lightning descended from the sky without warning, carrying Heaven Destroying Earth Annihilating force, and struck straight at the Tianling of Fiery Emperor's head!

At this moment, Xie Xie, who witnessed this scene within the Blood God Legion, had only one thought:

Don't show off, or you'll get struck by lightning.

Seeing the lightning bolt approaching, Fiery Emperor's expression hardened. Without time to think, he suddenly used the power of his Small World to lift it upwards. The lightning and Divine Power collided in mid-air, exploding into a dazzling Seven Colors halo.

The Fiery Emperor's Small World trembled violently, and a crack was torn open by the divine lightning, with the remaining lightning striking him squarely.

boom-

Fiery Emperor was sent flying dozens of meters by the cleavage, the ground beneath his feet caved in several feet, and he crashed heavily to the ground, kneeling on one knee, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

The entire room fell silent.

The Blood God Legion felt a surge of excitement.

The screams of the Abyss Creatures ceased abruptly, as if someone had choked them. Those Abyss Creatures that had been roaring wildly just moments before were now utterly silent.

"Fiery Emperor!" The Abyss King near the Abyss Passage was shocked upon seeing this and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the Fiery Emperor.

"Who is it?!" Fiery Emperor shouted sharply, suddenly looking up at the sky.

The thunderclouds slowly dissipated, and in mid-air, a tall, slender figure stood, surrounded by faint Seven Colors lightning.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Zhang Huanyun, Heartless Douluo, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"His Majesty Huo Yuhao has arrived!"

"Who is it, sir?"

Xu Weitao's heart trembled slightly when he saw Huo Yuhao, and countless memories of the other man surfaced in his mind.

Although their Blood God Legion could be described as isolated from the outside world, they weren't completely oblivious to outside information. Huo Yuhao's name was well-known to them.

A single bolt of divine lightning from the opponent forced the arrogant Fiery Emperor Lie to his knees. Such power was unimaginable without witnessing it firsthand.

Huo Yuhao stood in mid-air, looking down at the injured Fiery Emperor Lie below.

"The effect is pretty good."

Using the identity of the ruler of the Undead Plane Master, he has mastered the Seven Colors Divine Lightning. While his physical strength has improved, he has also mastered a deadly move. What he just did was the first test of this move, and the effect seems to be quite good.

However, his attention quickly shifted from the divine thunder itself to the Fiery Emperor.

"Indeed a big fish. Unfortunately, just like six thousand years ago—he didn't bring the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd."

In Huo Yuhao's mind, the Fiery Emperor, who wielded the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd, was the biggest fish.

Although Divine Tool possess spirits and have masters, it is difficult to completely seize Super Divine Tool without killing its master. However, if Fiery Emperor were to fight with the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd, he would at least have a chance to seal it away—for example, by throwing it into the Eternal Domain, thereby weakening the Abyssal Sage King's strength.

Lord of Eternity: You're just throwing everything at me, aren't you?

Huo Yuhao avoided eye contact: Please forgive me, only an Emperor-level weapon can fight against another Emperor-level weapon, this is an acknowledgment of your abilities.

Unfortunately, it seems that the opportunity will not come.

However, as an existence possessing Level 100 Divine Power, Fiery Emperor was already of great value, and this operation yielded good results.

Huo Yuhao's gaze made Fiery Emperor feel quite uncomfortable.

He said coldly, "Who are you?!"

"A dying person has no need to know these things."

I'm too lazy to talk, let me listen.

Huo Yuhao's calm words only fueled Fiery Emperor Lie's rage. "Arrogant! Even Di Tian wouldn't dare claim he could kill me!"
