Chapter 354

As time passed, Yao Yan's strength successfully broke through to the six-star Dou Sheng. With Lingxi, his "dual cultivation" partner who cooperated wholeheartedly with him, he didn't even need to guide anything. He just needed to lie down, and the Dou Qi in his body would increase at an exaggerated speed.

Lingxi's strength also broke through to the Seven-Star Fighting Saint during the dual cultivation process, which further improved the efficiency of their dual cultivation.

Yao Yan did not do anything like draining the pond to catch the fish, and he did not devour all of Lingxi's cultivation. Just as the elders of the Ling tribe thought that he was a good dual cultivation partner, he now also felt that Lingxi was a good cultivation BUFF.

Thus, three months passed.

Yao Yan's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and there seemed to be a chaotic energy lingering in the depths of his dark pupils. It flashed away, and he patted Lingxi and said, "Okay, I'm going to go out for a while."

It’s not that he stopped practicing, but he had to stop because the Void Devouring Flame had already refined the entire spiritual world, and he couldn’t continue to stay here to practice.

And it’s not long before the ancient Bodhi tree is born.

He had to go out.

"Yes, Master~" Lingxi responded obediently. Her long black hair flowed like a waterfall, and her beautiful jade-like figure slowly stood up.

Yao Yan dressed neatly with Lingxi's help, then took Lingxi into the Heavenly Tomb and stepped out of the interior space of the Ancient Tree of Life. With the demise of the spiritual world, the Ancient Tree of Life, which was integrated with it, was naturally backlashed and began the final countdown. The suppressing effect of the internal space could no longer have any effect on Yao Yan at this time.

The figure appeared in the spirit world.

At this moment, the spiritual world has become a dead place. All living things in it, including the energy of heaven and earth and the energy contained in plants and trees, have been drained away. Looking around, it is empty, without a trace of life.

The dead silence was frightening.

The Ancient Tree of Life is like the last pillar, supporting this world, but at this moment it has lost its previous magic. The huge crown has disappeared, leaving only dense and creepy branches covering the sky.

Void Devouring Flame sat cross-legged in the void, with a blood pool of nearly a thousand feet in front of him, which contained the energy of countless living creatures. The scarlet halo almost dyed the sky red.

"Breakthrough?" Xuwu Tunyan glanced at Yao Yan and said lightly.

"Thank you, Lord Void, for your help!" Yao Yan bowed his hands, maintaining basic respect. With his current strength, he was not qualified to show off in front of Void Devouring Flame. And if it were not for Void Devouring Flame's help, he might not have been able to devour the energy of the Ancient Tree of Life so smoothly.

“I didn’t do anything for you.” Void Devouring Flame said softly, then looked at the Ancient Tree of Life and said, “Do you still need the energy of the Ancient Tree of Life? If not, I will refine it completely.”

"Yes, Lord Xuwu, can you give me the Ancient Tree of Life?" Yao Yan nodded and discussed.

If it was the Ancient Tree of Life from before, he naturally could not move it, but with the demise of the spiritual world, the Ancient Tree of Life no longer had the support of this world, and its power had been sharply reduced. Now it was like a large treasure from heaven and earth that could be picked at will.

"Okay." Xuwu Tunyan's eyes flashed slightly, and he stared at Yao Yan for a while before responding.

"Thank you, Lord Xuwu!" A look of joy appeared on Yao Yan's face. He bowed and thanked him. Then he raised his hand to seal the space around the Ancient Tree of Life. With a loud bang, the space within a radius of hundreds of miles began to collapse and gradually compressed into a ball of light. It flew into Yao Yan's palm and was taken into the Heavenly Tomb by him.

After doing all this, he felt certain in his heart, because the energy contained in the Ancient Tree of Life was extremely powerful. Even if it was withered now, the energy contained in it was enough to support Yao Yan's breakthrough to the Eight-Star Douluo.

Add to that the Nine-Rank Profound Pill, Nine-Profound Golden Thunder, and Pure Lotus Demon Fire bestowed by Gu Yuan…it may not be impossible for him to break through to the Nine-Star Douluo within a short period of time!
"It seems that you two get along well~" Along with a chuckle, the void beside Xuwu Tunyan suddenly twisted, and then the figure of Emperor Hun Tian appeared in Yao Yan's sight. He overlooked the spiritual world below that had turned into deathly silence. His expression did not change at all, and his eyes were terrifyingly indifferent.

Seeing the newcomer, Yao Yan's heart sank, and he bowed and said, "Greetings, clan leader!"

"Yes, you have broken through to the six-star Douluo in a short period of time. I was right about you. You have more potential than your teacher." Emperor Hun Tian looked at Yao Yan and nodded with satisfaction. He asked Yao Yan to come here, on the one hand to deepen the relationship between Yao Yan and the Soul Clan, and on the other hand to give him a chance to grow.

No matter how weak the spirit race is, it is still one of the eight ancient imperial races.

There was a pause.

He looked at the blood pool in front of Void Devouring Flame, and a burning look flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he was suppressed and whispered: "Since the Spirit Clan has been destroyed, the next one is to attack the Stone Clan!"

"It's a bit troublesome to refine those iron lumps. It takes a lot of time." Xuwu Tunyan frowned slightly and said.

The Stone Clan is different from the other clans. They are naturally strong, no weaker than those super monsters. With the blessing of the Emperor Clan's bloodline, they are much more troublesome to deal with than the Spirit Clan. They are also the only Emperor Clan that has not been infiltrated by the Soul Clan.

"I will let the four elders help you!" Emperor Hun Tian said slowly. The reason why he refined the four elders into puppets was for this moment.

The Void Devouring Flame of the Nine-Star Douluo plus the four Eight-Star Douluo elders are enough to silently kill any imperial clan in the world except the Ancient Clan. And it is not a sneak attack like the Spirit Clan, but a head-on kill. As for the Soul Emperor... now is not the time to go to war with the Ancient Clan, so naturally they need to deal with Gu Yuan's surveillance.

This time, it was just a phantom of the soul. After all, killing the spirit race is the first step, so it has to be cautious. Fortunately, everything went well and no accidents occurred. If an accident really occurred, the blame can only be put on Void Devouring Flame.

The Soul Clan will not get involved in such things... If you don't believe it, then we can only start the imperial clan war in advance.

"Chief, I guess I can't participate in the affairs of the Stone Clan... I plan to go into seclusion for a while and strive to improve my strength. The ancient Bodhi tree is about to come out, and I plan to go and take a look!" Yao Yan said to Emperor Hun Tian.

He now has no shortage of opportunities to break through his strength. The only thing he lacks is time and understanding!
If he had the help of the ancient Bodhi tree, he could undoubtedly save a lot of time.

"The ancient Bodhi tree... With your strength, this tree should be useless to you. Its greatest use is to help people comprehend the path to becoming a Fighting Saint. It does not have much effect on beings above the Fighting Saint. Moreover, this tree has always been mysterious, and it is difficult for beings above the Fighting Saint to approach it." Emperor Hun Tian looked at Yao Yan with some surprise, and said slowly.

The ancient Bodhi tree appears once every thousand years, and the time and place of each appearance is extremely uncertain. It is usually buried deep underground, and even the Soul Emperor, who possesses the soul of an emperor, cannot find it. Moreover, it has the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm. Every time it appears, it will open up a unique field. If a Dou Sheng approaches, it will avoid it in advance, making it impossible for people above the Dou Sheng to approach it.

If not for this, how could the ancient Bodhi tree have existed until now? It would have been transplanted into the realm by the imperial clan long ago.

The major imperial clans have tried many times but have never succeeded, and even caused the ancient Bodhi trees to disappear several times, resulting in the loss of a lot of Bodhi seeds. So far, the clans have agreed that those above the Fighting Saint are not allowed to take action, to ensure that the younger generation of each clan can get the opportunity.

"I want to give it a try... The clan leader also knows that my strength has improved too fast and I lack some insights. If I can get help from the ancient Bodhi tree, perhaps the road ahead will be smoother." Yao Yan said in a deep voice.

"...Then go and give it a try." Emperor Hun Tian pondered for a moment and nodded. Yao Yan nodded, then broke through the air and left the spirit world.

Xuwu Tunyan glanced at Emperor Hun Tian beside him and said, "You seem to be quite confident in him."

"He possesses the blood of the Doudi of five clans, and the path he takes requires collecting the essence and blood of all clans. If I hadn't suppressed him, he would have devoured the emperor blood of the Thunder Clan and the Ancient Clan long ago... Do you think the other clans can accommodate him?" Emperor Hun Tian said calmly, looking calm.

Yao Yan was born into the Soul Clan. From the moment Hunxuzi transformed him, everything was doomed. He had no choice, unless he had the strength to surpass everyone else, such as breaking through to the Dou Di level... then naturally no one would dare to say anything.

Otherwise, the various races would not tolerate him, and Emperor Hun Tian would not allow anyone to be beyond his control.

If it's not for his use, then what's the point of keeping it?
"I'm very curious, what will happen if Gu Yuan knows the truth?" Xuwu Tunyan laughed, his eyes showing some sarcasm and amusement, as if he was looking forward to that day.

"Don't worry, that day will come!" Emperor Hun Tian said softly.

Void Swallowing Flame nodded, looked at the blood pool in front of him, and continued: "The altar is ready. The spirit race is indeed the most powerful imperial race. The life energy contained in their blood is extremely terrifying. It is the most suitable base for the birth of the imperial grade embryo pill... We can put it into the center of the Soul Devouring Life-Destroying Array, and then we just need to keep putting the collected creatures of various races into it."

"Yes!" Emperor Hun Tian nodded.

……

……

Zhongzhou, the beast realm.

Yao Yan walked out of the void, his figure merged into the void, and in a flash he entered the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python. The soul power of the emperor level spread out, and he soon found the little medical fairy and Qing Lin who were playing around. After more than a year of not seeing each other, the two girls have grown a lot, and their temperament has become more mature.

"Young Master?!" Qing Lin was startled at first when he saw the figure that suddenly appeared, and then he shouted with surprise on his face. His charming eyes blinked, and the lively patterns in them rotated, with a fascinating charm.

The Little Medical Fairy's cold purple eyes also revealed a hint of surprise, but her temperament was not as cheerful as Qinglin's. She maintained some restraint, but the hands on her lower abdomen tightened slightly, and it was obvious that her heart was not as calm as her appearance.

She slowly approached Yao Yan and said softly, "Sir~"

"Not bad, they are all improving very fast." Yao Yan felt the strength of the two girls and nodded with satisfaction. It was obvious that the two girls had not been idle in the past year or so. Their strength had leaped forward as if they had been given a cheat code, especially Qing Lin, who had already reached the level of a Six-Turn Dou Zun. It was not in vain that he had given her two Half-Saint-level Nine Nether Earth Pythons.

At the same time, Yao Yan also had to sigh at the abnormality of the Green Eyes Three Flower Pupils. As long as the magical beasts could be tamed, their energy could be used for his own purposes, and there was almost no so-called bottleneck.

Little Medical Fairy’s strength is a little weaker, but she has also reached the level of a fifth-level Dou Zun.

But considering the ages of the two girls...the only word that can describe him is perverted.

"Thanks to some strange poisonous herbs given by the Yaoming tribe leader~" The little medical fairy stood gracefully in front of Yao Yan and said softly.

"Young Master, I found the skeleton of a mutated ancient celestial snake in a ruin, and obtained a residual soul from its body..." Qing Lin told Yao Yan about his experiences over the past year in a clear voice.

Yao Yan listened to the two girls' story patiently. After they finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched Qing Lin's little head, smiling and said, "It's almost time. You should also prepare and try to break through to the Dou Sheng level... It won't be long before the ancient Bodhi tree is born."

"Ancient Bodhi tree?" The little medical fairy's beautiful eyes moved slightly, as if she had thought of something.

"Yes, it is the ancient Bodhi tree that gave birth to the Bodhi incarnation saliva. When it is born, you can go and try to see if you can get the opportunity... The Bodhi mind it breeds has the ability to help people become saints." Yao Yan explained softly.

"I don't think I need it~" Qinglin stuck out her tongue playfully, puffed out her chest and said confidently.

The Little Medical Fairy covered her mouth and chuckled. She didn't say anything, but she also felt that she didn't need to say anything. The Fighting Saint was not a bottleneck for her... To be more precise, since she embarked on the path of cultivation, she has never encountered the so-called bottleneck. She would find some poisonous things to swallow, and her strength would naturally increase, and she couldn't suppress it.

"The main thing is that I have something to do with the ancient Bodhi tree... That ancient tree has some intelligence, and it is difficult to approach it above the Fighting Saint level. I have to rely on you to lead me in." Yao Yan smiled helplessly and told his real purpose.

"Okay, we'll go there then." The little medical fairy nodded and responded softly.

Qinglin also nodded. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Yaoyan, and asked, "Where are the queen and the others?"

Yao Yan didn't say anything. He raised his hands to wrap the two women, performed space teleportation, and teleported directly to the location of Jiuyou Huangquan. It was still the deep valley filled with strong winds, and the light yellow lake water was filled with alarming coldness, as if to freeze everything.

"You wait for me on the shore, I'll go down and take a look." Yao Yan gave the two women instructions and then flashed into the lake.

Compared to the last time he entered, Yao Yan's diving speed was faster this time. The cold air that was enough to freeze a Fighting Saint could not stop him at all. After a dozen breaths, he reached the deepest point and saw two graceful and domineering ancient monsters.

The ancient sky snake and the seven-colored sky-swallowing python.

Cai Lin and Cai Die transformed into their original forms, inhaling and exhaling the cold air from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, and using the energy therein to transform themselves. Their current strength has firmly entered the semi-saint level, and they are advancing towards the Dou Sheng level at an exaggerated speed, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

Obviously, once he breaks through to the Douluo Saint, his strength will have a big leap. Now he is just accumulating energy.

Confirm that the two girls are safe.

Yao Yan looked towards the depths of the Nine Netherworld. His perception, which was once obscured by the lake water, had been fully restored as his soul entered the imperial realm. He could even go deep into the depths of the Nine Netherworld with ease. Suddenly, a vast land of death entered his perception.

Countless colorful sky-swallowing pythons and ancient sky snakes died in it, and their corpses piled up like a mountain, among which were also the corpses of other ancient and even unknown magical beasts.

"Ancient battlefield?" Yao Yan whispered in his heart, and then flew towards the place he sensed. (End of this chapter)
