Chapter 597: A Special Father-Daughter Reunion, Void Devouring Flame in Shock!
The battle between Heavenly Flames erupted in the sky as the pitch-black Void Devouring Flame transformed into an endless rain of fire, pouring down from above. Wu Tian, however, showed no signs of backing down. His flames surged with overwhelming momentum, the radiant nine-colored blaze stretching across the heavens like a celestial rainbow, blocking out the oppressive darkness of the void.
At this moment, Wu Tian had become the savior in the eyes of everyone in Saint Pill City. No one had expected this battle to reach such an earth-shattering level. Even Half-Saint powerhouses were left in disbelief none of them had imagined that the Soul Clan would directly intervene through the Soul Hall.
Reaching the Half-Saint realm meant only barely brushing against the true secrets of the Dou Qi Continent. Among the Half-Saints present, the one with the most complex emotions was undoubtedly Yao Chen. As a former member of the Ancient Medicine Clan, he was well aware of the Soul Clan's terrifying strength.
Yet, even he had not expected the Soul Clan to act so brazenly. Were they not afraid that the other Ancient Clans would unite to retaliate? Their sudden intervention was bound to attract attention. Just what was the Soul Clan plotting?
As Yao Chen looked up at the intense battle in the sky, he felt an overwhelming mix of emotions. He thought back to the past
Once, he had been nothing more than a weak, wandering soul trapped in a ring.
Now, he had regained his full strength, even breaking into the Half-Saint realm.
And all of this… was thanks to him the man fighting against the Void Devouring Flame.
Who could have imagined such a reversal of fate?
Once, he was expelled from his clan.
Once, he was betrayed by his own disciple.
Yet now he had returned to his peak, and perhaps…
Following Wu Tian, he might one day slap those old bastards right in the face.
Thinking of this, a burning passion ignited in Yao Chen's heart. He turned his focus back to Gu You, his opponent in battle, and unleashed his full strength.
A massive cauldron materialized before him, radiating an ancient aura. Then, without hesitation
He hurled it directly at Gu You.
"WHAT THE HELL, YAO CHEN?! YOU'RE USING THE MYRIAD BEAST CAULDRON AS A PROJECTILE?!"
Even Gu You was stunned.
This wasn't just any cauldron
The Myriad Beast Cauldron was one of the most precious artifacts on the Heavenly Cauldron Rankings!
Even the most elite alchemists would kill for a treasure like this, as it enhanced pill quality beyond normal limits.
Yet this lunatic was using it as a blunt weapon?!
Gu You instinctively reached out to grab the cauldron, but before he could react
Yao Chen's figure blurred into a cloud of white mist.
In the next instant
BOOM!
He had already closed the distance, his palm striking directly toward Gu You's chest!
Elsewhere on the battlefield, other fights had escalated to their final moments
At this point, it was either kill or be killed.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the battle continued to rage.
The spirit form of Zhu Kun had started to fade slightly, taking on a humanoid form. His majestic golden eyes, filled with the wisdom of countless years, looked down at the three captured Soul Hall Dou Saints.
Soul Extinguishing Life.
Soul Qian Mo.
Soul Demon Elder.
Three formidable powerhouses
Yet now, they were nothing more than trapped prey in his grasp.
He could have killed them instantly
But Wu Tian had requested otherwise.
These men still had their uses.
Though Void Devouring Flame had managed to save them momentarily, it was now locked in battle with Wu Tian.
With its strongest ally occupied, the three Soul Hall Saints had no chance of escape.
This was an unprecedented humiliation for the Soul Clan.
A Soul Hall Hall Master.
Two high-ranking Dou Saints.
And now captured like helpless prey.
Zhu Kun scoffed at them in disdain, then turned his gaze toward Wu Tian's battle.
Then, without hesitation, he dragged the three captives along and descended
Straight toward Zi Yan.
For all his might and majesty
The Dragon Emperor himself found himself at a loss before this small, purple-haired girl.
Even the mighty Zhu Kun didn't know how to face his own daughter.
With an awkward, goofy smile, he scratched his head.
Zi Yan, however, stared at him with large, shimmering eyes, filled with emotions unknown.
For the greatest dragon in existence, this was more terrifying than any battle.
He had always assumed she would resent him.
Did she blame him for abandoning her in the wilderness?
Would she hate him for never being by her side?
That thought hurt more than any wound.
Zhu Kun hesitated.
Finally, he spoke:
"Uh… Zi Yan, I "
"Yeah, yeah, I know. We can talk later."
Before he could even finish, Zi Yan cut him off.
She crossed her arms, giving him a sharp glare.
"Why are you still standing here?"
"Go help Wu Tian-gege!"
"What?"
Zhu Kun was stunned.
Not because of the request
But because she wasn't angry at him.
Instead, she was angry that he wasn't helping her man?!
Where was the father-daughter bond?!
How was her loyalty already with Wu Tian?!
That little brat had stolen his daughter's heart before he even got to be a real father?!
This wasn't fair!
For a moment, the Dragon Emperor felt pure jealousy.
Still
His daughter had spoken.
And so, with a slightly bitter smile, he nodded obediently.
"Alright… Alright, Zi Yan, I'll go."
Zi Yan beamed.
There was something strangely comforting about this giant, powerful dragon following her orders so obediently.
And more importantly
Now she had a real father.
A real family.
For the first time, she felt whole.
With a playful grin, she waved him off.
"Go already! Stop standing around like an idiot!"
At her words, Zhu Kun one of the most powerful beings in existence
Felt his heart ache with happiness.
For the first time in a thousand years,
He felt at peace.
Meanwhile, above Saint Pill City
Two supreme flames clashed, locked in an endless struggle.
Devour vs. Incinerate.
Darkness vs. Light.
Wu Tian's nine-colored flames burned fiercely, battling against the endless consuming abyss of Void Devouring Flame.
A stalemate.
But that was impossible.
The Void Devouring Flame was stronger
And yet
Wu Tian was holding his ground.
And what shocked the Void Devouring Flame the most
Was the feeling it had just experienced.
The power of Wu Tian's flames
It was identical to what it once felt from Tuo She Ancient Emperor.
No
It was stronger.
More refined.
More terrifying.
And the techniques Wu Tian wielded
His fire-controlling methods, his battle skills
Were beyond even Heaven-Tier Dou Techniques.
This was impossible.
How could anyone surpass Tuo She Ancient Emperor?!
How… HOW COULD THIS BE?!
