Chapter 595: The Dragon's Annihilating Breath, The Return of the Void Devouring Flame!
As the dragon's roar echoed once more, a searing flame suddenly erupted from its massive jaws.
The sheer intensity of this fire stunned everyone below.
For the alchemists present, this was even more shocking
Because they could feel it.
This was no ordinary fire.
This… was Heavenly Flame-level fire!
Another Heavenly Flame?!
Again?!
It was as if Heavenly Flames were as common as weeds in this battle!
The mere existence of such a flame spewed casually from a dragon's mouth
Spoke volumes about the true identity and power of this massive golden dragon.
It was no ordinary beast.
It was a being of unfathomable power perhaps one of the strongest entities on the entire Dou Qi Continent.
And yet
As the alchemists focused on this fire
They felt a strange familiarity.
A sensation that mirrored something else
Or rather, someone else.
Their eyes instinctively shifted
Toward Wu Tian, who stood nearby, calmly watching the chaos unfold with a faint smirk.
Wait…
Why did the father-in-law feel so similar to the son-in-law?!
What kind of ridiculous joke was this?!
A Dragon Emperor… resembling his daughter's husband?!
This was beyond absurd.
Completely outrageous!
The truth behind the dragon's fire…
The colossal golden dragon Zhukun, the Dragon Emperor
Had once been trapped outside the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.
Though he could not enter, he had sensed traces of energy from two powerful beings
The Void Devouring Flame and The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
Both had escaped the cave and left behind remnants of their power.
Zhukun could have stopped them.
But instead, he chose not to.
Why?
Because he had a plan.
By allowing them to flee, he ensured that someday, someone would be drawn to the cave
And unknowingly release him.
To his shock, the restrictions trapping him didn't stop him from doing this.
This was how Zhukun realized the truth
The Tuo She Ancient Emperor had planned everything.
The old bastard had manipulated them all
Including the two strongest Heavenly Flames in existence.
The Void Devouring Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame thought they had escaped.
But in reality
They had only played directly into the Emperor's hands.
Zhukun had spent centuries cursing the Ancient Emperor.
And when he finally sensed a familiar presence outside
He had immediately wanted to break free.
But there was a problem.
What he sensed wasn't the Ancient Emperor himself
It was…
His heir.
Wu Tian.
At first, Zhukun had been furious at the mere thought of these insignificant mortals trying to harm his son-in-law.
And so
He had erupted into action, blazing with fury.
The result?
The most ridiculous entrance in the history of the Dou Qi Continent
Exploding out of the battlefield… from Wu Tian's ass.
(…Seriously.)
Zhukun's Soul Projection
Long ago, when Wu Tian had entered the Magma World, he had unknowingly brought back a fragment of Zhukun's soul.
Though it was only a fraction of his full power, it still carried the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Saint.
This had secretly been one of Wu Tian's hidden trump cards all along.
Yet
Until now, there had never been a reason to use it.
But when Hun Qianmo and Hun Mo suddenly appeared, tipping the balance in favor of the Soul Clan
Wu Tian had no choice but to play his strongest card.
And what a card it was.
Zhukun's mere presence was enough to turn the tide completely
Leaving the Soul Clan's top warriors trembling in fear.
A Dragon Emperor was not someone they could afford to provoke.
The Emperor's Breath vs. The Soul Clan's Barrier
A terrifying wave of golden flames surged toward the three Soul Clan powerhouses.
Their faces twisted in horror.
They knew
They could not withstand this.
They were doomed.
The moment the golden flames collided with their defensive barrier
The black wall of tortured souls immediately shattered into nothingness.
Hundreds of souls screamed as they were instantly incinerated
Completely erased from existence.
But just when everyone thought Hun Miesheng, Hun Qianmo, and Hun Mo were finished
Something… changed.
High above the battlefield
The air twisted.
A figure appeared.
Draped in black robes, his presence was unremarkable at first
So unnoticeable that even Wu Tian's senses failed to detect him immediately.
But then
He raised his hand.
And with a casual wave
The Dragon Emperor's Fire Breath was extinguished.
Just like that.
As if it were nothing.
Zhukun's massive golden eyes narrowed
A flicker of recognition flashing within them.
And then
He sighed.
"So it's you."
His voice rumbled across the battlefield.
"It seems… your strength has finally returned."
The black-robed figure remained silent for a moment
Then let out a low, dark chuckle.
"Old friend…"
His voice carried an eerie calm.
"It has been over a thousand years, hasn't it?"
The atmosphere shifted.
The temperature dropped.
The entire battlefield felt like it had been swallowed by a bottomless abyss.
Standing before them was a man engulfed in black flames.
Strange, ancient sigils covered his entire body, radiating a sinister and primal energy.
His eyes
They were not human.
They were voids.
Bottomless black holes.
A nightmare given form.
He stepped forward, his feet hovering above black flames, an embodiment of chaos itself.
And in his presence
Even Wu Tian felt a deep, instinctive unease.
But what truly shocked him
Was the reaction from the Void Devouring Flame's fragment.
The moment this man appeared
The trapped black flame inside Wu Tian's domain began violently struggling.
It screamed.
The void around it darkened.
The flame's power surged violently
As if awakened by something far greater than itself.
And then
A single name was spoken.
"Void Devouring Flame."
Wu Tian's pupils contracted.
The true Void Devouring Flame… had arrived.
