1 Chapter 001: Xiao Yan Must Die
The continent of Dou Qi. This is a world without magic, without technology. In this world, there is only one thing, and that is Dou Qi, Dou Qi that has reached its pinnacle.
The Central Continent. The World of Souls.
A book falls from the sky and lands in front of a man. The man looks to be around thirty years old, dressed in grey and white, with a handsome face like a jade scholar. The man looks around, furrows his brows slightly, and murmurs to himself as he looks at the book that fell from the sky: "Strange, everything in the World of Souls is under my control. How could there be a book that quietly falls from the sky in front of me?"
The man is puzzled and out of curiosity, he bends down and picks up the book that fell from the sky. On the cover, there are four particularly eye-catching characters: "Battle Through the Heavens".
The man looks around in a circle, but he doesn't see anyone suspicious. This World of Souls is still under his control, nothing seems to be different or unusual. The man's gaze gradually falls on the book, and he is immediately attracted by the content on the book: "Battle Through the Heavens? This book is interesting."
With curiosity, the man opens the book. "Three Stages of Dou Qi."
…..
The man was quickly attracted by the contents of the book. Whenever he saw something exciting, he would exclaim in excitement, "What a 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not underestimate a poor young man'!"
He continued, "What a 'Xiao Yan'! If I, the Soul Emperor, had a son like this, it would be enough for this lifetime."
The man was none other than Hun Tiandi, the patriarch of the Soul Clan, one of the eight ancient clans.
"The way Nalan Yanran is behaving is really too much," he exclaimed. "On the Dou Qi continent, if the woman comes to the man's home to call off the engagement, it is a severe insult."
Hun Tiandi was so engrossed in the story that he inadvertently immersed himself in the character. It was as if he was the waste Xiao Yan at the third level of Dou Qi.
When Yao Lao appeared, Hun Tiandi couldn't help but curse, "I knew it! This Xiao Yan is a genius; how could he have been stuck at the third level of Dou Qi? It turns out an old man was playing tricks."
...
"Hmm?"
"Bone-Chilling Flame?"
When Hun Tiandi saw that Yao Lao possessed a Bone-Chilling Flame, his brows slightly furrowed, and it didn't look like he had been reading the book just a moment ago.
Hun Tiandi closed the book, looked at the cover, and muttered, "What kind of book is this? Why does it mention Dou Qi and strange fires? This book doesn't seem like an ordinary one; it seems to be closely related to the Dou Qi continent."
"Why would such a book appear in the Soul Realm, and in front of me?"
"It's so strange," Hun Tiandi couldn't figure it out. He continued flipping through "Battle Through the Heavens," wanting to know the relationship between the book and the Dou Qi continent.
...
On the top of a mountain in the Soul Realm, Hun Tiandi leaned against a big tree and read "Battle Through the Heavens" in the sunlight. When he saw the introduction of Medusa's beauty and charm, Hun Tiandi murmured, "How could there be such a beauty among the Northwestern Snake People?"
"It seems that Medusa will cause trouble for Xiao Yan in the future."
...
"Cloud Sect? I didn't expect Yun Zhi, who had ambiguous relations with Xiao Yan in the Warcraft Mountains, to be Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Cloud Sect. Interesting."
"Very interesting."
...
"Buddha Fury Lotus Flame. If Xiao Yan can fuse two types of strange fire together, he's a talent."
"If it's true, I would like to invite him to join the Soul Hall."
"However, I'm curious about who the person was who abducted Xiao Yan's father?"
"Since he was able to silently take away a great Dou Shi in front of a Dou Wang, it seems that the person must be at least a Dou Zong?"
...
"Hmm?"
As he finished reading, Hun Tiandi saw the Soul Hall, and frowned: "How can the Soul Hall appear in this Battle Through the Heavens book?"
"Hehehe..."
"Why are all the people in the Soul Hall laughing like this?"
"Why does this seat not know anything?"
...
"Is Medicine Lord always surrounded by medicinal powder?"
"Four-Faction Hall?"
...
"Soul Hall Master?"
...
...
The more he read, the more shocked Hun Tiandi became, and he couldn't even immerse himself in the protagonist Xiao Yan anymore.
The more he read, the more he realized that something was wrong.
"Soul Jade."
"Soul Wind."
"Pure Lotus Demon Fire."
"Void Swallowing Flame."
And so on.
Even he himself was mentioned in this Battle through the heavens book, including their Soul Clan's thousand-year plan and everything else.
Hun Tiandi gradually frowned and coldly snorted as he read on, his back covered in cold sweat.
Obviously, he was shocked and at a loss for what to do by the contents of the book.
...
After reading Battle through the Heavens, Hun Tiandi closed the book with a shocked expression and murmured to himself: "Is this a book that can predict the future?"
Hun Tiandi was still shocked by the contents of the book and was silent, his eyes blankly staring at the book in his hand.
...
Ten minutes later, Hun Tiandi suppressed his shock and completely digested the content of the book.
Hun Tiandi stood up, put the book into his storage ring, and walked towards the mountain top, letting the cool breeze blow on his face.
He needed to be blown by the wind in order to calm down.
After a long time-
Hun Tiandi spoke: "Regardless of whether the contents of this book will happen or not, this guy named Xiao Yan must die."
"Anyone who threatens the great plan of our Soul Clan must die."
At this moment, a vast and terrifying aura emanated from Hun Tiandi, and the entire Soul Realm began to tremble violently.
As if the Soul Realm was about to collapse.
This commotion naturally attracted the powerful members of the Soul Clan.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
...
The sound of breaking wind rang in the ears of the Hun Tiandi, and at that moment, a few more figures appeared behind him.
The few people looked at each other and were curious about why the patriarch suddenly erupted with such a powerful aura.
As they approached, they sensed a fierce killing intent emanating from the Hun Tiandi
An extremely sharp killing intent, which the Hun Tiandi did not try to hide.
The few people were puzzled and wondered, "The patriarch has such a powerful killing intent. Who could have provoked him to unleash it so suddenly?"
Whoosh!
A strange black flame appeared on the mountain top, gradually spreading and forming a flame of black hole.
A man dressed in black walked out of the black hole, with black flames flickering in his eyes and a face that was extremely demonic.
He walked out of the black hole, and the flame of black hole behind him instantly dissipated.
"Greetings, Lord Void."
When the man walked out, the few people who were originally puzzled did not hesitate to bow slightly to him.
This man in black was none other than Void Devouring Flame.
Within the Soul Clan, Void Devouring Flame's position was second only to the patriarch, Hun Tiandi.
In the hearts of some of the Soul Clan's elders, Void Devouring Flame's existence even surpassed that of the patriarch, Hun Tiandi.
