Becoming a Dou Di
Gu Yuan looked at the shattered earth, sensing the unique aura of the Hun Clan, and spoke:
"This is the Soul World! But why did it shatter and manifest itself directly in the outside world? And judging from the appearance, the Soul World probably went through a terrifying battle before it collapsed."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun exclaimed in surprise, "If that's the case, then that Li Changqing really did turn the Hun Clan upside down. Moreover, to destroy the entire Soul World single-handedly and face all the powerful members of the Hun Clan, just how strong must he be!"
Gu Yuan sighed, "I don't know. Anyway, judging from the result, Hun Tiandi shouldn't have broken through to Dou Di, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have run away."
Zhu Kun was overjoyed. "In that case, we don't need to worry about the Hun Tiandi's revenge."
"Not necessarily. Judging from the current situation, we have neither seen the Hun Tiandi nor Li Changqing. Whether Li Changqing obtained the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill from the Hun Tiandi is still unknown."
Gu Yuan shook his head.
"However, the only good news is that even though the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill is still in the hands of the Hun Tiandi, the process for the Hun Tiandi to break through to the Dou Di will be greatly extended, giving Xiao Yan more time to receive the inheritance."
"While we have this time, we need to send more people to search for the Hun Clan's hiding places."
Zhu Kun nodded. "That's right. We must not relax or become complacent before we find the Hun Tiandi."
The two quickly left the area and informed the Heavenly Palace Alliance of the situation.
When the members of the Heavenly Palace Alliance learned that the Soul World had collapsed, they were overjoyed and quickened their pace to find the whereabouts of the Hun Clan.
Deep within a desolate Mountain Range, where even magical beasts were scarce, Li Changqing hid in Cave Mountain Range.
Relieved that no members of the Hun Clan were pursuing him, he took out a few Pill and swallowed them.
"I almost overdid it, but thankfully, the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Severing Formation consumes too much of my Soul World's essence. If I had persisted any longer, my Dou Qi would probably have been depleted. At that point, the only way to survive would have been to use the power of the Kunpeng True Blood."
After a moment of reflection, Li Changqing's mind settled down. He activated the Kunpeng Method to digest the Pill he had just swallowed and restore his nearly depleted Dou Qi.
Although he didn't suffer any serious injuries, his Dou Qi was severely depleted, and it took Li Changqing a full half month to barely recover.
Looking at the round, full-bodied Emperor Pill in his hand, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance, Li Changqing murmured to himself, "Come on, next is breaking through to Dou Di."
Without hesitation, Li Changqing swallowed the finished Emperor Pill and began to refine it.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was still receiving the Dou Di inheritance inside the statue of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.
The Hun Tiandi also found a secluded place, consumed the Emperor Pill hidden deep within the Soul World, and broke through to the Dou Di.
Two months later, it was Hun Tiandi finally broke through first.
There are two reasons.
Firstly, the Emperor Pill of the Hun Tiandi was already a finished product and was stored very well, so its medicinal effects must be better than the one in Li Changqing's hands.
Secondly, Li Changqing was delayed for half a month in order to recover the battle Dou Qi he had consumed in the previous battle, which is why Hun Tiandi was able to complete the breakthrough first.
With Hun Tiandi breaking through to Dou Di first, the entire Hun Clan was greatly excited and thrilled.
To avoid being discovered by the Heavenly Palace Alliance, they hid for more than two months, which was incredibly frustrating for the Hun Clan who were used to running rampant.
Now that Hun Tiandi has broken through to the Dou Di, they no longer need to hide.
Moreover, with Hun Tiandi breaking through to Dou Di, their Dou Di Bloodline was activated, and their cultivation levels improved to some extent. As a result, they no longer needed to fear the Heavenly Palace Alliance.
In a secluded Valley, the Hun Tiandi, who had broken through to the Dou Di, stood at the very top, with 100,000 members of the Hun Clan kneeling in worship below.
Their faces were filled with excitement, their bodies trembling with emotion, and they kept repeating:
Congratulations, Clan Chief, on breaking through to the Dou Di!
Congratulations, Clan Chief, on breaking through to the Dou Di!
The Hun Tiandi smiled slightly. Although he had successfully broken through to the Dou Di and fulfilled his long-cherished wish of a thousand years, there was not much joy in his eyes. Instead, his eyes were filled with hatred for Li Changqing.
At this moment, the Hun Tiandi suddenly glanced at the Void Devouring Flame.
The Void Devouring Flame was startled and shuddered. As a spiritual being of heaven and earth, it sensed obvious malice in the eyes of the Hun Tiandi.
The Void Devouring Flame demanded sharply, "Hun Tiandi, what do you intend to do? Do you intend to break our alliance?"
The other members of the Hun Clan didn't understand what their patriarch was planning; it was clearly an attempt to attack the Void Devouring Flame.
In their eyes, Void Devouring Flame was the second most important figure in the Hun Clan. Could it be that there had been some rift between the two?
The Hun Tiandi sneered, "Void, we've known each other for quite some time now, haven't we? Do you really think I don't know the tricks you've been using in the shadows all these years?"
Void Devouring Flame's expression froze. He had done an extremely discreet job of controlling the Hun Clan Elder; how did the Hun Tiandi know about it?
But he still held onto a sliver of hope, feigning ignorance. "What are you saying? I don't understand."
"You've just broken through to the Dou Di and yet you've betrayed our alliance and attacked me. Let's see how you manage the Hun Clan in the future? How will you gain the respect of the Hun Clan members?"
The Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly. "I thought you would be more frank, but I didn't expect that even after I pointed it out directly, you would still pretend not to know."
"Since you don't want to admit it, then I'm too lazy to say anything. To celebrate becoming the first Dou Di in the ten thousand years of the Dou Qi Continent, I'll use your Origin Flame as a gift. It's your honor to be subdued by Dou Di."
Void Devouring Flame finally panicked. He shouted fiercely, "Hun Tiandi, most of the Elder of the Hun Clan are under my control. They will all die if I so much as think of them!"
"The Hun Clan is down to its last few members. If those Elder die, the Hun Clan will be severely weakened! Are you really going to attack me?"
As he spoke, Void Devouring Flame was enveloped in black flames, and several figures blocked his way.
"Severely weakened?" The Hun Tiandi's eyes suddenly turned icy cold, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"I have already become Emperor. As long as I am here, the Hun Clan will never suffer any so-called severe damage! As for the people you control, they are dispensable to the Hun Clan at this moment."
Void Devouring Flame felt a chill in his heart. He had overestimated the Hun Tiandi's character; he hadn't expected him to be so utterly disregardful of the lives of his own people.
Thinking of this, Void Devouring Flame manipulated the Dou Sheng Elder under his control to rush towards Hun Tiandi, while he himself fled at top speed.
"Trying to leave now? Too late!"
With a wave of his hand, the Hun Tiandi sent those charging Dou Sheng Elder instantly turning into a bloody mist.
At the same time, the Void Devouring Flame's physical body was also shattered, turning into countless black flames that scattered in all directions.
The Hun Tiandi glanced indifferently at the fleeing black flames, then opened his mouth and inhaled, the immense suction force drawing the fleeing black flames directly into his mouth.
