What the Heck Is a Ant Emperor Qian Jun? Just a Little Ant

Faced with the eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun's doubts, Yan Buhui did not panic.

Instead, he merely spoke to him in a calm tone:

"What? Don't you believe me?"

"Or do you think I'm deceiving you?"

The three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers said nothing.

They only felt that the oppressive presence within the man before them made them afraid to look straight at him!

Though he had a human body, judging by his imposing presence, he was no less formidable than an ordinary exotic beast.

The eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun stopped waving his scythe blades and asked humbly:

"May I ask who you are, sir?"

"I am Yan Buhui, known as the Flame Emperor. My true form is a 200,000-year-old Evil Fire Phoenix, and I live in the Land of Extreme Flame. I came here specifically because I thirst for talent. How about you all lend me a hand in sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent?"

Seeing this, Yan Buhui also set aside his status and spoke to the eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun as an equal.

"But how can you prove your identity?!"

The eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun asked in puzzlement.

Yan Buhui gave a faint, cold laugh and said, "Proof?"

"Does my identity need proving?"

"I think, by your own words, strength is the best proof."

"Then, I can only ask your forgiveness for what comes next."

Yan Buhui spread his hands and unleashed a Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain first, trapping the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers in an instant and leaving them unable to move. The flames of the Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain continuously burned away their vitality and defense!

The eldest, second, and third Qian Jun Ant Emperors were all dumbfounded!

When had it happened?!

This fire chain had trapped them.

They had not noticed it at all.

Yan Buhui's Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain had already been unleashed, and it had scared the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape on either side half to death as well.

Damn... when did that happen? This fire chain has already trapped the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers.

The Sky Azure Bull Python asked himself in bewilderment. Then he said in relief, Luckily, he held back a little when he fought us. Otherwise, Er Ming and I wouldn't have lived to see tomorrow's sun. That kind of strength is truly terrifying.

"So terrifying," the Titan Giant Ape murmured to himself. "If he used his full strength, would any Soul Beast in this world still be his match?"

"As expected of the emperor Soul Beast of the Land of Extreme Flame."

No matter how the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers struggled, they could not break free of the Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain binding them. It truly gave their ant heads a terrible headache.

A single fire chain could actually trap all three brothers.

That was indeed beyond what an ordinary Soul Beast could do.

"Tyrannical Savage Charge!"

The youngest Ant Emperor Qian Jun unleashed a tyrannical charge, attempting to fend off the scorching flames dancing across the sky and break free of Yan Buhui's Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain.

"Titan Colossal Spirit Quake!"

The second Ant Emperor Qian Jun also had a signature technique. His 90,000 years had not been spent in vain; anyone roaming the jianghu needed a skill to rely on.

With a rumbling roar, powerful vibrations shook the area around the Phoenix Heart-Devouring Locking Chain.

But in the end, it remained unmoved.

"Sea-Suppressing Pulse!"

The eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun's move was even fiercer. The power of the charged shock wave was already enough to rival a Titled Douluo's ninth Soul Skill.

It could be said that each of the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers possessed a unique skill of his own.

Moreover, the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers' formidable cultivation, built over many years, had not only granted them immense strength, but also made their defense exceptionally outstanding.

Yet even so,

no matter how hard they tried, the Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain still did not break...

"How could this be?!"

"This damned fire chain is actually so hard to break?"

The three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers were utterly numb.

After all their struggling, it had been for nothing.

They had never seen any Soul Beast with such a powerful means of restraint.

It was truly astonishing!

"We..."

The eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun had never imagined he would lose so completely.

Facing the red-haired young man before him, he slowly forced out the words:

"We admit defeat..."

Yes.

Yan Buhui had not misheard.

The three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers had admitted defeat and accepted their fate.

Yan Buhui then gave a gentle wave of his hand.

The Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain dispersed.

The burning effect vanished at the same time.

The three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers hurried over to Yan Buhui and said meekly, "Sir, we greatly offended you just now. Please be magnanimous. We three brothers beg your forgiveness!!"

Yan Buhui chuckled.

He did not blame the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers.

He simply said calmly, "It doesn't matter."

"What I said before still stands."

"Will you join my side?"

The three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers nodded and said firmly, "We three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers swear to follow Lord Flame Emperor unto death."

"Good..."

"With your word, I can rest much easier."

Yan Buhui smiled calmly and added, "You few, take me to look for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as well. That fellow comes and goes without a trace, so finding him really is somewhat troublesome. Also, while I'm away, keep watch over the Star Dou Great Forest for me."

"Lord Flame Emperor, you... are you going back to the Land of Extreme Flame? Aren't you going to take charge of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

The eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun asked tremulously after hearing this.

The Star Dou Great Forest, the Soul Hunting Forest, and the Sunset Forest were known as the three great Soul Beast forests of the Douluo Continent. The Star Dou Great Forest had the richest and most diverse Soul Beast resources, as well as many unexpectedly powerful Soul Beasts. Giving up this territory would undoubtedly mean handing it over to other Soul Beasts.

That

was exactly what puzzled the eldest Ant Emperor Qian Jun.

Yan Buhui, however, said to reassure him, "The Star Dou Great Forest? Aren't you few still here?"

"I've looked into the specific situation here. You don't need to worry about it."

"When the time comes, even if powerful Soul Beasts invade the Star Dou Great Forest, I'll return."

Upon hearing Yan Buhui's answer,

the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers put the thought aside.

Then, reassured, they said respectfully to Yan Buhui, "Lord Flame Emperor is wise!"

"Hmph!"

Yan Buhui gave a wry smile. "Let's go. Come with me to meet this last old friend."

"Yes!"

The three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape answered in unison.

"We leave at once."

Yan Buhui was a man of swift, decisive action, and his word was final.

As for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, this great general, he had to secure him ahead of time.

Though he was a little kitty, he was a tiger of a general when he turned fierce. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's future was limitless; he might even far surpass the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and the three Ant Emperor Qian Jun brothers.

Yan Buhui was well aware of this.

After all, that Soul Beast possessed abilities associated with six elemental attributes-evil, darkness, space, time, lightning, and wind-as well as extremely high intelligence that was in no way inferior to a human's, making him comparable to a Titled Douluo powerhouse.

Therefore, as far as Yan Buhui was concerned, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, this top-tier Soul Beast, absolutely could not be left for someone else to cultivate into a force of their own...

"Eighth update!"
