Xiao Xiao and Luo Li
In a place where you can't see your hand in front of your face and it's so dark it's suffocating
Something that no one could have imagined is unfolding.
Xiao Xiao sat alone in the corner in the darkness.
At this moment, she was expressionless and staring blankly, sitting stiffly in place like a lifeless puppet.
The policy of "only killing and not saving" (referring to the practice of killing without saving Futu Yun) did indeed alleviate the pressure on the front lines during the recent massacre in the Demon Realm.
The powerful beings of the Great Thousand World were able to free up their resources to search for the whereabouts of Flame Emperor, and everything was developing in a positive direction.
But at that moment, Futu Yun suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he had already taken control of the Ancient Heavenly Palace and become the legitimate ruler of the Tianluo Continent.
Before this, Xiao Xiao always felt that she was very similar to Futu Yun:
Neither of them were arrogant or domineering, yet they both had powerful backers to rely on.
But when Flame Emperor Yan disappeared and his fate was uncertain, she finally saw the difference between them.
Futu Yun possesses an innate aura of strategic brilliance, remaining calm and composed no matter what happens.
Even if the Great Elder of the Pagoda Ancient Clan Futu Xuan, suddenly died, he could still stabilize the entire domain in a short time.
They could even take this opportunity to carry out sweeping reforms and elevate the Pagoda Ancient Clan to a higher level.
Even without the position of young clan leader, he can still maintain his foothold in the Tianluo Continent.
They set up shop from scratch, using the Ancient Heavenly Palace as their new base.
For Futu Yun,
Whether it's his identity as the Grand Elder of the Pagoda Ancient Clan or the entire Pagoda Ancient Clan, they are merely bargaining chips, not his trump card.
At best, it can only be considered a usable weapon.
The best proof is the identity of "Ye Yun":
Futu Yun, using the name "Ye Yun," overpowered Wen Qingxuan and others on the Spirit Road.
His achievements have absolutely nothing to do with the Pagoda Ancient Clan!
But Xiao Xiao is different.
She was the daughter of Flame Emperor.
Even though he never used this identity to be arrogant or domineering, he still enjoyed the convenience it brought him.
After Flame Emperor Yan disappeared, she felt a profound sense of powerlessness for the first time.
Even though she knew her father was on the verge of death, there was nothing she could do but feel extremely anxious.
She could only rely on those skilled in divination who insisted that Futu Yun could rescue Flame Emperor Yan.
We pray that he, a man not subject to the whims of fate, can rescue Flame Emperor as soon as possible.
But this world never stops for the weak.
Futu Yun was not one of those young masters in the Boundless Fire Territory who fawned over her.
Don't even mention that Flame Emperor's whereabouts are currently unknown.
Even if Flame Emperor An Ran, Futu Yun has no need to deliberately curry favor with the Boundless Fire Territory.
Futu Yun disappeared after the Giant Sword Rain ravaged the Demon Realm.
Although the anti-demonic front lines of the Great Thousand World have repeatedly defeated the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan race,
But there is still a long way to go before we can rescue Flame Emperor.
At that time, Xiao Xiao still held onto a sliver of hope.
I think that Futu Yun was able to unleash such terrifying power at that time.
However, it was by leveraging the power of a breakthrough in the heat of battle that he unleashed a potential beyond his limits.
He might not be able to reach that level of intensity on a normal day.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Futu Yun to go into seclusion for rest and recuperation.
He then seized the Ancient Heavenly Palace and, with the help of its inheritance, successfully advanced to the Sovereign Stage.
But what happened after Futu Yun left the Ancient Heavenly Palace?
He still didn't go to rescue Flame Emperor; instead, he led the Pagoda Ancient Clan to expand their territory across the Tianluo Continent.
Using the name of "the legitimate successor of the Tianluo Continent," they turned the entire Tianluo Continent into their own backyard.
The Boundless Fire Territory did send people to urge Futu Yun,
But Futu Yun only said one sentence at the time, "The Divine Beast Origin is about to open."
"Once we obtain the opportunity, we can naturally save Flame Emperor."
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao's tears slid down her cheeks again.
She also knew exactly what the so-called Divine Beast Origin represented.
In ancient times, there was once a super-vast continent in the Great Thousand World, called the Divine Beast Continent.
At that time, seven or eight out of ten spirit beasts and divine beasts in the Great Thousand World lived on this continent.
Later, the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan invaded the Great Thousand World and also set their sights on the Divine Beast Continent.
A devastating war erupted between the two sides, shattering and scattering the Divine Beast Continent.
Even so, the continent that split off from it remains one of the supercontinents of the Great Thousand World today.
It is said that the ancient Divine Beast Continent was vast and boundless.
Even if Sovereign expert flew at full speed for decades, they still couldn't traverse the entire continent.
The Divine Beast Origin was originally a wondrous place on the Divine Beast Continent.
This region is inhabited by countless powerful mythical beasts.
Among them were many Super Divine Beasts. Back then, the combat power of this region accounted for about 30% of the entire Divine Beast Continent.
During that cataclysmic war, even the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan feared the immense power of the Divine Beast Origin.
Finally, they joined forces with dozens of the Extraterrestrial Clan kings to attack simultaneously.
Taking advantage of the Divine Beast Continent's unpreparedness, they forcibly shattered the Divine Beast Origin and then devoured it using a black hole space.
This forced the Divine Beast Continent to suffer repeated defeats in the war, resulting in the deaths of countless divine beasts.
After the catastrophe ended, many important figures sensed the Divine Beast Origin that had been swallowed by the black hole space.
From then on, every so often, the Divine Beast Origin would reappear in the world.
Many mythical beast races will also take this opportunity to enter and compete for the chance.
Countless ancient ancestors perished in the Divine Beast Origin.
For spirit beasts and divine beasts, even obtaining just a trace of divine blood can bring immense benefits.
Therefore, each time the Divine Beast Origin open, it stirs up huge waves among the spirit beast race.
Even many Super Divine Beast races value it highly.
For example, the Heaven-reaching Ape Clan has been searching for the inherited blood essence of Ancient Desolate Beast.
This mythical beast possesses immense strength and the ability to go berserk; its combat power doubles when it enters this state.
Now that the Desolate Beast have long since disappeared, their descendants are only the Heaven-reaching Ape Clan, who naturally want to find the essence of their ancestors' bloodline.
In addition, the Ancient Undying Bird, the ancestor of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan, also perished in it.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan that coveted the Undying Bird's inherited bloodline; the Phoenix Clan was also eyeing it covetously.
This is different from the Deity Transformation Pool.
Ultimately, the Deity Transformation Pool can only serve as an embellishment, merely accelerating the cultivation process;
However, the inherited essence blood in the Divine Beast Origin can help spirit beasts, divine beasts, and even Super Divine Beast defy fate.
However, the appearance of the Divine Beast Origin is completely unpredictable, only revealing subtle clues just before its imminent appearance.
Even those Super Divine Beast races haven't received any information yet, but Futu Yun is using the Divine Beast Origin as an excuse.
Isn't this just deliberately stalling for time?
Especially since news just arrived from the Heavenly Palace City on the Tianluo Continent: Futu Yun is actually setting off for the Western Heavens Continent?
Heavenly Palace City was originally a city built by the Pagoda Ancient Clan on the Tianluo Continent.
According to the rules, all forces on the Tianluo Continent will henceforth be required to pay homage to the Heavenly Palace City.
The Boundless Fire Territory has also sent people here to wait for Futu Yun, wanting to urge him to find a way to rescue Flame Emperor as soon as possible.
And now this guy has actually abandoned everything he was doing and gone to the Western Heavens Continent on his own?
