Phoenix, Phoenix, Return to Your Hometown, Roam the Four Seas in Search of Your Mate

Hearing the Flame Lion Dog's answer.

Joy appeared on Yan Buhui's face. He had worn out iron shoes searching in vain, only to find it without the slightest effort. He hadn't expected it really to be the Eternal Fire in the Flame Lion Dog's body!

It seemed Yan Buhui was determined to claim that flame in today's battle.

"Good!"

"Good! You're exactly who I've been looking for!"

Yan Buhui smiled easily, then summoned the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame and Volcanic Stone Flame.

He added, "Let me give you both a taste of the Heavenly Flames abilities I've just acquired."

"I think it'll be interesting."

"What?!"

The Flame Lion Dog and the Flame Azure Wolf King were startled.

They couldn't help exclaiming, "Two flame abilities?"

The Flame Lion Dog could clearly sense that the two flames before him were far superior to the Eternal Fire within him. The terrifying presence they gave off truly made him tremble with fear.

It was simply inconceivable.

Yan Buhui chuckled. "What? Are you scared already?"

Then.

Yan Buhui chose not to hide his strength. He immediately unleashed the pressure of his 250,000 years of Soul Power cultivation. The terrifying presence of an innate top-tier Soul Beast knocked the Soul Beast underlings the Flame Lion Dog and Flame Azure Wolf King had brought with them unconscious. Unable to put up the slightest resistance, they collapsed to the ground.

"How is that possible?"

"Wasn't he supposed to have only 100,000 years of cultivation?"

"How did another 150,000 years of cultivation appear out of nowhere? A full 250,000 years of cultivation, and such a terrifying presence. No wonder... he had the strength to back up his arrogance just now!!"

The Flame Lion Dog's heart still pounded with fear. In just a moment, the Soul Beast force he'd brought with him had been left completely unable to fight.

"That's terrifying..." Even the Flame Azure Wolf King was trembling with fear at that moment. His hind paws edged back slightly, wanting to flee before the battle, but then he glanced at the Flame Lion Dog, who showed little fear.

Was he going to?

Fight to the bitter end?

The Flame Azure Wolf King didn't understand.

What did a battle like this mean?

The gap between the two sides was too great, and their intelligence had been wrong. Once a Soul Beast reached over 200,000 years, it was a Ferocious Beast.

But one was certainly not something Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts like him and the Flame Lion Dog could handle.

"What are you afraid of!!"

Seeing this, the Flame Lion Dog turned and shouted at the Flame Azure Wolf King, "Isn't he just a Ferocious Beast a little over 200,000 years old? So what! If he wants a fight, we'll give him one. It's two against one. Are we supposed to be afraid of him!?"

Hearing the Flame Lion Dog say this, the Flame Azure Wolf King seemed to gain a little courage, and his earlier fear diminished considerably. What he'd said also made sense: even two against one, they might not win.

With that.

The Flame Lion Dog made the first move:

"Berserk: Scorching Shockwave!"

Immediately afterward, the Flame Azure Wolf King, unwilling to fall behind, added his own attack, shouting, "Azure Wolf Blazing Flame Boil!"

"Petty tricks..."

Yan Buhui sneered and dispelled the Flame Lion Dog and Flame Azure Wolf King's combined attack with a mere wave of his hand.

"What?"

"He's that strong?"

Just as the two Soul Beasts were once again reeling in surprise.

The Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame and Volcanic Stone Flame Yan Buhui had fused had already reached the Flame Lion Dog and Flame Azure Wolf King.

"So fast?"

"When? I couldn't even make out that guy's figure!"

The Flame Lion Dog and Flame Azure Wolf King had no time to react.

Yan Buhui was already in front of them. A blast of flame burned both beasts to nothing in the searing heat of the Heavenly Flames...

An explosion rang out with a boom.

Beautiful, dazzling fireworks appeared in the sky. As the explosion ended, the Flame Lion Dog and Flame Azure Wolf King were destroyed and killed by the combination of Yan Buhui's Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame and Volcanic Stone Flame.

"Tsk."

"Were they really that easy to beat?"

Yan Buhui looked coldly at the Flame Lion Dog and Flame Azure Wolf King's corpses and spoke with a calm smile. It seemed that high-grade spiritual flames like Heavenly Flames made for a slaughter on a lesser plane like the Douluo Continent.

This had prepared him well for eventually entering the Divine Realm and the Great Thousand World.

Next, Yan Buhui extracted the Eternal Fire from the Flame Lion Dog's body and prepared to absorb it.

Two Soul Rings from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts also appeared above Yan Buhui.

But they were of little use to him. He would have been better off with another 20,000 years of cultivation.

That was useful in any situation!

After absorbing the Eternal Fire, Yan Buhui discovered two exquisite Soul Bones...

What met his eyes were none other than Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!

"Damn, not bad luck. Those two actually dropped top-quality Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Flame Lion Dog's Hundred Thousand Year Eternal Fire Left Arm Bone!"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Flame Azure Wolf King's Hundred Thousand Year Explosive Right Arm Bone!"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Eternal Fire!"

"Well, what do you know? Looks pretty good."

Yan Buhui tossed the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones into the Great Thousand World Cave Abode for safekeeping, intending to save them for his offspring.

If he ever ran out of money, he could also trade Soul Bones of this grade for some milk powder money.

"..." Yan Buhui looked at the Soul Beasts that had been knocked unconscious and planned to bring them all into the Land of Extreme Flame to replenish its Soul Beast resources. Later, he could also have a couple more squads of troops.

And at that moment.

The Three-Headed Hellhound, Earth Fire Lizard Lord, Flame Martial Wild Boar King, and Flame Bird also arrived.

They had heard the sounds of fighting.

So they had come to see if they could be of any help.

The four Soul Beast lord guardians spoke up. "Lord Emperor, this... did you finish them off so quickly?"

"Just a pair of jumping clowns."

Yan Buhui turned his head and said calmly, "I don't know where they got the information that I was only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but they dared to invade my territory."

"Clean this place up. As for those lesser Soul Beasts, bring them into the fold as you see fit!"

"Yes, Lord Emperor."

The Soul Beast lords hurriedly nodded in agreement.

They had seen that Yan Buhui, their Emperor, had killed several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts with such ease.

He had probably already stepped into the Demigod Realm with one foot.

Even a Ferocious Beast over 300,000 years old.

Would still have some trouble dealing with two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Yet Lord Emperor Yan Buhui had done it so easily...

His strength was becoming harder and harder to fathom...

He still had many trump cards.

That was the most terrifying thing of all. Without using his full strength, he had made a slight move and settled a rebellious force like this one.

"Has Lord Emperor's strength already reached this level?"

The Three-Headed Hellhound swallowed and spoke nervously.

Yan Buhui, meanwhile, calmly headed toward his nest at Phoenix Emperor Mountain.

"It seems it's time to take the initiative and settle accounts with some factions."
