Subduing the Sky Azure Bull Python and Taking the Titan Giant Ape as a Lackey
An afterimage of an Ancient Void Dragon!
It had actually appeared within the Three Thousand Starry Sky Burning Flame.
This genuinely surprised Yan Buhui.
How could a Heavenly Flame subdued by the Void Ancient Dragon Clan be anything less than formidable?
With only a trace of the lingering might left in its soul,
it had broken through the combined domains of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape in succession.
The Slow Domain and the Gravity Domain.
After all, there were hardly any in the Star Dou Great Forest who could counter the domain skills of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, much less their combined domains.
It was a genuine blow to the head.
It had knocked some sense into the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. The gap between them was far too vast. Even back when they had fought the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers, they had never struggled this much.
This time was simply too much!
It hurt worse than throwing meat buns at a dog.
It made one question life-no, it made a beast question its beastly life.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape had completely lost the ability to resist.
Two mighty Soul Beast overlords had been taken down in an instant with a single move.
Who would believe it if word got out?
Yan Buhui knew perfectly well that this was the Ancient Void Dragon's doing.
It had nothing to do with him. He was merely the one controlling the fire.
But since he had eight wives, he could also be called an "arsonist of hearts."
At that moment,
Yan Buhui slowly approached the two Soul Beast overlords and demanded in a low voice:
"I'll ask one last time."
"Are you willing to submit to me?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape stared at him in bewilderment. Even with such an overwhelming advantage, this phoenix bird could still speak so calmly.
Had it been any other Soul Beast, it would probably have chopped Er Ming and me into pieces for Soul Rings and Soul Bones by now, right?
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape exchanged glances and made their final decision.
Surrender!
Yes, they would surrender to the Evil Fire Phoenix before them, Yan Buhui.
"I am the Sky Azure Bull Python!"
"I am the Titan Giant Ape!"
"We are willing to submit to the Flame Emperor!!"
The two beasts now had no other choice.
They could only obediently accept their fate. If they wanted to live, they had to bow their heads and submit to Yan Buhui.
Their words had been so defiant just moments ago, and now the slap in the face stung just as badly.
It had to be said:
Yan Buhui was a leader who wielded both kindness and authority.
"Mm, since you're willing to become my subjects, this Lake of Life should naturally fall under my jurisdiction as well."
Yan Buhui spoke calmly.
"Naturally, Lord Flame Emperor. As long as you're happy."
The Sky Azure Bull Python had been beaten into submission and had no idea how many kinds of bizarre flames Yan Buhui possessed.
They could take the form of a snake and even a dragon. They were truly fearsome.
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you."
Yan Buhui rolled his wrists, then said, "There's one more thing. I need you to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers for me. Those Soul Beasts are quite strong and would make suitable enforcers for me."
Hearing Yan Buhui speak so casually,
the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape felt immense pressure.
What did he mean, quite strong? Suitable as his enforcers? Didn't that just mean being his lapdogs?
Clearly, the strength of the man before them was unfathomable.
He was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
Like an iceberg in the sea, his depths could not be fathomed; only the tip was visible.
It truly left one with a trace of lament.
"Yes, we will obey Lord Flame Emperor's command."
That was how the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape answered.
As for opponents like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers, it seemed that Er Ming and I can still deal with them easily, the Sky Azure Bull Python thought to himself.
Just then,
Yan Buhui condensed two clumps of Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire in his hand and shot them straight into the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
"Lord Flame Emperor! What are you doing? Why?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python was puzzled and asked him.
"Yes, Lord Flame Emperor, shouldn't brothers and allies trust each other? What does that wisp of flame you shot into us mean?"
The Titan Giant Ape was equally puzzled and hurriedly asked.
Hearing the questions from the two brothers, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape,
Yan Buhui chuckled softly.
Then he added, "First, I need to correct one thing. You and I are not brothers or allies. You are merely my subordinates. Make sure you understand that, and don't overstep your station by calling me your brother. You aren't strong enough."
"Second, this wisp of flame is called the Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire. It can improve the cultivation of cultivators, Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, and magical beasts to a certain extent. It is a tiny wisp of heart fire separated from my origin flame. It will only benefit you, not harm you, so rest assured."
Faced with Yan Buhui's explanation,
the two beasts gradually lowered their guard.
"Lord Flame Emperor is wise and mighty. We swear to follow Lord Flame Emperor unto death."
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape suddenly felt a vast surge of Fire Energy rushing toward their dantians, and their meridians immediately became much more active.
Just as Yan Buhui had said, it greatly boosted their cultivation speed.
But where had he gotten this flame?
It was actually so incredibly powerful.
Yan Buhui did not pay much attention
to these flattering words.
Now that he had subdued two great gatekeepers,
he had to go subdue the other lackeys in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers all possessed strength comparable to the four guardian Soul Beast lords of his Land of Extreme Flame.
They were free to use, and it would be a waste not to use them-first-rate hired muscle, without a doubt.
He couldn't let these resources right in front of him go to waste.
Yan Buhui said to the Sky Azure Bull Python and Tai Tan, "I'll go with you. Lead the way."
"As you command, Lord Flame Emperor."
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape had now lost all their spirit.
If Yan Buhui told them to go east, they wouldn't dare go west.
Otherwise, their hundred thousand years of life would be at an end.
"Lord Flame Emperor, please."
The Sky Azure Bull Python spoke with utmost respect, no longer displaying any of the majesty of a forest emperor.
The Titan Giant Ape beside him was like a little monkey that had done something wrong, half-crouching to one side as he awaited Yan Buhui's judgment and orders.
"Tsk, we're only going to subdue a few little disobedient Soul Beasts."
Yan Buhui said politely, "Just lead the way. I can fly faster than you and keep up."
"All right! Lord Flame Emperor, I'll take you to the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers' nest right now!"
"Excellent, lead the way quickly!"
"Yes!"
At that, Yan Buhui merely closed his eyes. Flames blazed all over his body, and he immediately transformed into his true form, the Evil Fire Phoenix, following in the direction the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape led!
Meanwhile,
the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers were still happily and frenziedly hunting down and devouring lower-level Soul Beasts.
They were preparing to overcome the great hurdle of the heavenly tribulation at the hundred-thousand-year mark.
The eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun in particular was already not far from a hundred thousand years in strength.
The second and third Qian Jun Ant Emperors followed close behind, flapping their wings wildly.
However, they had no idea...
An unprecedented disaster was quietly approaching...
