After leaving Donglong Island, Yao Yan did not go to the Void Thunder Pool. Although he had obtained the exact spatial coordinates from Zhu Li a long time ago, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to subdue the thunder dragon transformed by the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, let alone devour and absorb it.

According to the records in the original book, the strength of the thunder dragon had reached a very terrifying level. It was even so powerful that it was unable to gather spiritual energy.

The Nine Profound Golden Thunder was the elixir thunder that could only be produced by refining the ninth-grade golden elixir. Its terrifying destructive power was enough to be comparable to the attacks of a six-star Dou Sheng or above. And once this transformed thunder dragon, which had been nurtured for countless years, became intelligent, its strength would definitely not be weaker than a seven-star Dou Sheng, and it was very likely to be even higher.

It would undoubtedly be an unwise choice for Yao Yan to go and provoke it at this moment. Not only would he not have enough strength to subdue it, he might even suffer serious damage.

As for the Black Demon Thunder, with his current physique, this kind of thunder power has no effect on him. Even if he devours it to practice, the effect can only be considered average, and it takes a lot of time, and Yao Yan does not have that much time to waste.

Emperor Hun Tian had sent him a message while he was in seclusion, urging him to return to the Soul Realm as soon as possible, to participate in the Gu clan's coming-of-age ceremony, and to get engaged to Gu Xun'er!
Now this day is not far away.

There was no room for Yao Yan to delay any longer outside. If he missed this day because of his cultivation, he suspected that Emperor Hun Tian would personally take action to arrest him, forcibly interrupt his retreat, and drag him to get engaged. If that happened, the scene would be a bit awkward.

"Engagement..." Yao Yan walked in the void, but his expression was a little solemn. For him, this engagement was no less than putting him in the spotlight. From now on, the eyes of all tribes will inevitably be on him, and there might be people staring at him wherever he goes.

Fortunately, his strength has reached the middle stage of the five-star Douluo, and with the Supreme Dragon Phoenix Body, ordinary six-star Douluo may not be his opponent.

Today, he is no longer the chess piece that could be manipulated at will.

Yao Yan's eyes gradually became clear, his mind straightened out, and his complexion returned to normal. Then black flames wrapped around his body and he disappeared into the void. When he appeared again, he had already entered the soul world. As soon as he appeared, several powerful soul powers that were once imperceptible swept over him. After confirming Yao Yan's identity, those soul powers did not dissipate, but became more condensed.

"How is it possible with your strength?!" Several incredible voices suddenly sounded in the void.

The next moment, four old figures appeared around Yao Yan. They were the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan. Together they were almost eight thousand years old. Each of them looked as if they had seen something shocking and began to look at Yao Yan carefully. They were obviously shocked by the change in Yao Yan's strength.

Hun Yan, who had a good relationship with Yao Yan, directly grabbed Yao Yan's hand and said in an excited tone: "Five-star Dou Sheng?!"

"Well, after absorbing the three dragon kings, Huangtian and Taixu Ancient Dragon, my strength has entered the middle stage of the five-star Dou Sheng." Yao Yan nodded and frankly explained his situation to the Four Demon Saints.

"Even so, your strength has improved too quickly. I remember that the Soul-Swallowing Clan back then was not as terrifying as you!" Hun Tu, who was standing next to Hun Dan, said slowly with a look of surprise on his face.

If all the people of the Soul-Devouring Clan were as terrifying as Yao Yan, how could the major imperial clans have killed them so easily? At the beginning, the major imperial clans joined forces to kill the Soul-Devouring Clan, mainly to kill their ability to devour the blood of others. However, the devouring power that Yao Yan now possesses is obviously more domineering and incredible than that of the Soul-Devouring Clan.

It was like a mutation, abnormally ferocious and incomprehensible.

"How do you feel? Is there anything wrong with the bloodline of the Soul-Devouring Clan?" Hun Yan asked in a deep voice. He didn't care what happened to Yao Yan, he only cared whether Yao Yan could completely control this power.

There were many crazy people in the Soul-Devouring Clan back then. Although they were powerful, they eventually became slaves to power. Even if they were extremely strong, they were still at the mercy of others.

"No, I can control it perfectly!" Yao Yan shook his head slightly and said softly.

There was no need for Hun Yan to remind him about this. He had always been wary of the power of the Soul-Devouring Clan. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately suppressed this ability when he was practicing. It was only after his strength reached that of a Dou Zong that he gradually began to exert this power.

Now that he has entered the realm of Douluo, his control over the abilities of the Soul-Devouring Clan and their evil spirits has gradually become perfect, and he no longer needs to worry about them influencing his character.

What's more, there are Ling'er and Chaos Fetus in his body. Even if the Soul-Swallowing Clan's bloodline really has some backup plan, he has the means to counter it.

At worst, he could sacrifice his entire body, ignite everything with the three fires of essence, energy and spirit, and provide support for the birth of the Chaos Fetus... Even if it was just a premature baby, Yao Yan believed that he could completely solve the problem of the Soul-Devouring Clan's bloodline and evil spirit.

However, when it comes to this, Yao Yan is not sure what the result will be. He will not use this trump card unless it is absolutely necessary, because it is related to Yao Yan's future path, and he needs to bring it out perfectly.

“That’s good!” Hun Yan nodded, looked at Yao Yan’s clear eyes, and chuckled, “Your cultivation speed is almost catching up with the second generation of the imperial bloodline, comparable to the emperor’s son!”

Forget about the emperor's son, he can't compare~
Yao Yan was very clear about the degree of abnormality of the Emperor's son. He didn't need to practice at all. God had blessed him by directly pouring energy from heaven and earth into his body, allowing him to ascend to heaven in one step and enter the holy realm. It wasn't even the initial stage, but he directly entered the late stage.

However, the consequences of this are also huge, as it will cause one to be unable to control one's power and affect one's later practice.

But even so, it is extremely terrifying. Even if his sealed strength is rebuilt, his physical talent is far beyond that of others. For example, ordinary people develop their bodies slowly, while the emperor's son completely fills his body with water and gradually adapts to the growth in strength. The two are incomparable.

"Thank you for your praise. I am no match for the Son of Heaven." Yao Yan shook his head modestly and said without any arrogance.

"Not bad~" Hun Yan said with a smile, stroking his white beard, looking at Yao Yan with great admiration, and after pondering for a long time, he continued: "Go see the clan leader, he has been waiting for you to come back, behave well, and try to successfully marry the little princess of the ancient clan~"

Yao Yan nodded slightly, bowed to the elders present, and then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the mountain where Emperor Hun Tian was.

"The young are to be feared!" Hun Yan stroked his white beard and said slowly.

"It may not be a good thing." Hun Tu said in a deep voice with a serious look. If it was a thousand years ago, no, even five hundred years ago, this would be a very good thing. But now, the Hun Clan may not give Yao Yan enough time to grow.

The day when the patriarch starts his plan is getting closer and closer, and it is very likely to happen in the next few years.

Once the imperial clan war begins, Yao Yan will definitely be a thorn in the eyes of all clans, and he may die if he is not careful. It is also impossible for them to protect Yao Yan forever. With Yao Yan's current strength, he will inevitably have to go to the battlefield.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They all knew this truth, but in the Soul Clan today, Emperor Hun Tian was the ruler, and no one could refute the decisions he made.

As for the clan rules... In the Douqi Continent, strength is respected!

It has been like this since ancient times!

Even if they were unwilling to start a war between the imperial clans, it would be useless. Besides, they had been preparing for nearly a thousand years, and it was impossible for anything to change because of Yao Yan's appearance. As for whether Yao Yan had the qualities to become a fighting emperor... Over the past ten thousand years, there have been too many people with the qualities to become a fighting emperor, and some were only one step away.

But what is the final result?

It's just a dream after all!
The body dies and the Tao disappears. …

It is still the same mountain, the same tree, the same stone table and the chessboard on it.

Emperor Hun Tian was still like an ordinary middle-aged handsome man, sitting quietly aside, studying the chess manual. Apparently, having reached his level, he no longer needed to practice, and he didn't even need to comprehend the world. In their eyes, the world didn't have many secrets, and the only thing that limited him was his vision.

As for fighting skills... when they reach a certain level, fighting skills are just a minor skill. Their attacks are the strongest fighting skills with every move they make.

"Greetings, clan leader!" Yao Yan landed steadily on the top of the mountain and bowed respectfully to Emperor Hun Tian.

"Come and sit down~" Emperor Hun Tian waved his hand casually. He seemed to have no interest in the changes in Yao Yan's strength, and he didn't even pay attention to him, because no matter how strong he was, he was only a five-star Douluo. If Yao Yan could become an eight-star or even a nine-star Douluo in just a few years, perhaps he could attract his attention and curiosity.

Otherwise, in his eyes, a five-star Douluo is no different from a fighter, it is all a matter of thought. Only those who reach the eight-star Douluo have the ability to block a few of his moves, and only those who reach the nine-star level are qualified to communicate with him head-on.

The gap between the Douluo Saints has always been so clear and difficult to cross.

Yao Yan stood up, walked slowly to the opposite side of Emperor Hun Tian and sat down, quietly waiting for Emperor Hun Tian to finish reading the chessboard in his hand, then he saw Emperor Hun Tian slowly raised his head, looked at him for a few times, and then chuckled: "Your strength has improved very quickly. Now you seem to have the flavor of the Ancient Sky Phoenix and the Ancient Void Dragon. It seems that you have refined the blood essence of their two clans... Fortunately, you did not devour the blood of the Thunder Clan and the Ancient Clan, otherwise I would not know how to explain it."

"I have always kept the clan leader's instructions in mind." Yao Yan sat upright and said in a deep voice.

"You have always been very steady, which is a good thing... Only if you can see yourself clearly can you go further in the future. After all, the Soul Clan belongs to young people like you." Emperor Hun Tian smiled slightly and said kindly.

That smile was very similar to the smile Yao Yan showed when he killed Huang Tian and the three Dragon Kings. It was like staring at prey, making people's scalp tingle.

"At present, the Soul Clan still cannot do without the clan leader... My growth also cannot be separated from the clan leader's protection!" Yao Yan looked at Emperor Hun Tian sincerely and said slowly.

"Go back and prepare. We will be able to head to the ancient clan in a few days. This time, there may be a lot of people coming!" Emperor Hun Tian lowered his eyes slightly, and returned them to the chessboard in his hand. He picked up a black piece and spoke slowly.

As the words fell, the black piece in his hand also fell to the center, as if to start a big battle.

There is no thrilling pressure, but it gives people a murderous feeling.

Yao Yan stood up, bowed, then turned and left.

Just after he left, a wisp of black flame appeared beside Emperor Hun Tian, ​​and in an instant, it turned into the figure of Void Devouring Flame. He looked at Emperor Hun Tian indifferently and said calmly: "The Spirit Clan is already prepared and can take action at any time!"

"No rush... leave the affairs of the spirit race to him!" Emperor Hun Tian said indifferently, without any change in his expression.

"Are you sure?" Void Devouring Flame asked with a frown.

"He is a smart man and knows how to choose." Emperor Hun Tian's eyes flickered and his tone was a little cold. "Given the temperament of the major imperial clans, they can't hand over the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade just because Yao Yan has the blood of their clan. The war between the imperial clans is inevitable... As long as he has the ambition to break through to the Dou Emperor, they will not refuse!"

"Once something is done, there is no turning back..."

His eyes were extremely cold at this moment, as if he was looking down on the world, as if everyone was an ant in his eyes.

"What happens next?" Void Devouring Flame asked.

"After that? Naturally, it will be the Gu tribe that will be dragged in!" Emperor Hun Tian said slowly with a playful arc on his lips. At this moment, he was looking forward to Gu Yuan's expression. He always wanted to play it safe and didn't like to go to the gambling table, so he would drag him up.

Wouldn't it be boring if the final battle was without old friends?

……

Yao Yan naturally didn't know about Emperor Hun Tian's plan, but when he met Emperor Hun Tian today, he felt that Emperor Hun Tian seemed to have changed a little. He was no longer so careless, like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time and saw the approaching prey. It was only a matter of time before he would take action.

He returned to Hunxuzi's residence, greeted Hunyi, and then went into his room to sit cross-legged and regulate his breathing, familiarizing himself with his own surging power.

Time passed like this day by day.

This day.

Hunxuzi appeared in front of Yaoyan. He looked at Yaoyan with a smile and said, "Not bad. In such a short time, you have almost caught up with me. If I give you more time, won't you surpass me?"

As he spoke, his eyes changed slightly. After all, Yao Yan was cultivated by him personally. He watched him grow up step by step, and he still had some feelings for him.

But Yao Yan is about to catch up with his strength, and that feeling is quite subtle.

He even felt a little jealous.

Thinking about how much energy and time he spent to break through to the five-star Douluo, Yao Yan achieved it so easily. How could such a big gap not make people envious and jealous? Now that he has become the young patriarch of the Soul Clan, his future is promising!

"It's all thanks to Master's cultivation. Without Master, there wouldn't be a disciple like me today!" Yao Yan looked at the person who came and stood up to greet him respectfully.

"Haha~" Hunxuzi smiled and urged: "Let's go, it's getting late, we should go to the Ancient Clan!"

"The clan leader is not going?" Yao Yan was a little surprised.

"The clan leaders of each clan will be here!" Hunxuzi's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Yaoyan and spoke slowly. He had a premonition that this time, his good disciple would shock all the major imperial clans!

Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on his lips. After all, Yao Yan was created by him! (End of this chapter)
