In the blink of an eye, another six months had passed since the great war in which Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi had personally taken action.
Having learned of the Hun Clan's scheme, the Soul Extinction Alliance had become more cautious in their actions. They directly stationed Dou Ancestor and Dou Emperor level experts to guard various regions, and only deployed Dou Saint level experts in groups to avoid being ambushed or killed by Hun Clan Dou Saints.
During this process, the Soul Extinction Alliance continued their advance in the western region of Central Plains, eliminating Earth Demon Halls one after another and achieving remarkable results.
"Buzz!"
At the bottom of the Lava World beneath Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region of the Northwestern Continent, in the space at the lowest level of Ancient Emperor Tou She's cave, Xiao Ting slowly opened his eyes and released a powerful aura.
Zhu Kun, who had been dozing off, immediately opened one eye and showed an admiring expression. "He has reached four-star Dou Saint. Truly fast!"
Reaching four-star Dou Saint before the age of twenty — this was truly an unprecedented and unparalleled genius.
"I've finally reached four-star Dou Saint." Xiao Ting slowly stood up with his hands behind his back. "From now on, the speed will slow down. If I want to accelerate things, I still have to go out and cause trouble."
Zhu Kun: "…"
He was under twenty years old, not two hundred. No, even if he were two thousand years old, he still wouldn't have the power of a four-star Dou Saint.
Although the situation between Beasts and humans was somewhat different, Xiao Ting was being far too dissatisfied.
As if sensing what Zhu Kun was thinking, Xiao Ting sighed and said, "After all, once Zi Yan completes her transformation, she will become a four-star Dou Saint and a powerful Dragon Phoenix. I can't let her surpass me."
Zhu Kun: !
Think calmly. The reason Zi Yan was able to break through so quickly was because she possessed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was an extremely low-probability fruit that only appeared after the life force of ninth-rank Ancient Void Dragon King Clan and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix King Clan members had completely condensed after death.
In other words, Zi Yan was able to make rapid progress because she had inherited the perfect legacy of two Dou God level experts.
However, Xiao Ting, he relied entirely on his own cultivation and made astonishingly rapid progress.
"Senior, you can be discharged in another three months. I'll go out for a walk first."
After greeting Zhu Kun, Xiao Ting used his supernatural ability to fly away and left the place.
What was particularly noteworthy was that while he was receiving energy feedback from the Yin Yang Twin Flame and refining the Demon Saint's essence, he had been recording his cultivation insights in his Journal every day without fail, and he had also properly written down the names of his womens.
During this period, from Zhu Kun's perspective, he had simply been sitting there refining energy and improving his cultivation.
In reality, his experience in alchemy and various battle techniques continued to increase.
Even Dou Skills such as flight and teleportation could directly increase their proficiency through dimensional blessings.
"First, let's see what's going on."
Using his flying technique, Xiao Ting arrived in Purple Sky City in just a few breaths.
The three Dou Saints dispatched by the Soul Extinction Alliance helped him live and cultivate peacefully here, and also helped Xiao Ting protect Purple Sky City.
Xiao Ting had kept his promise and sent resources improve their cultivation.
After hearing from the three about recent events in Central Plains, Xiao Ting secretly thought, "It seems the Nihility Devouring Flame is about to break through. If that happens, the Hun Clan will definitely launch a counterattack."
Xiao Ting was not worried at all.
A counterattack?
I hope your Nihility Devouring Flame can withstand a single claw strike from Zhu Kun.
Even if Hu Tiandi himself took action, he would be no match for Zhu Kun in a one-on-one battle.
If Zhu Kun confronted Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan could free up his hand to deal with Nihility Devouring Flame. If he couldn't resolve this situation within ten moves, then he would be considered unlucky.
Furthermore, there was Zhu Huo, the newly promoted nine-star Dou Saint of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Although he did not possess an God-level soul, relying on the powerful physique of the Ancient Void Dragon and his mastery of void power, his strength was not inferior to Nihility Devouring Flame.
"The Hun Clan lost Hun Yuan Tian, and only three of the four elders remain. They probably won't be able to form a large array."
"On the surface, the Hun Clan is already at a disadvantage!"
Xiao Ting took a deep breath and decided to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.
He was currently a four-star Dou Saint. To continue breaking through at the current speed, he needed sufficient energy.
When Xiao Yan cultivated the Flame Mantra, he could save time by absorbing powerful Heavenly Flames.
Xiao Ting's current cultivation method, combined with Purple Beast Flame, was also extremely powerful.
"Continuing to refine the Demon Saint's essence blood will improve my cultivation, but the effect isn't that great. It would be better to give it to other Dou Saint experts for a greater return. I'll save the rest as gifts for Cai Lin and Xun Er later."
"When they reach the Dou Saint realm, I can give them the Demon Saint's essence. I also need to prepare some things so they can reach the Dou Saint realm as quickly as possible."
Xiao Ting recorded these thoughts in his Journal and set off for his next destination.
The Ancient Wasteland!
In just a hundred breaths, he traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and arrived at the edge of the desolate Ancient Domain.
This place was filled with toxic miasma so potent that even Dou Venerable experts could die if they were careless.
The true nature of this toxic miasma was special poisonous insects invisible to the naked eye.
For the Little Fairy Doctor, who was plagued by calamity poison, these poisonous insects were extremely destructive, but the poison within the insects was a nourishing tonic.
Xiao Ting raised his hand and released the Burning Flame Saint Stele, purifying the poisonous insects and absorbing a large amount of toxic gas, refining the gas to a certain extent.
About three days later, all the poisonous insects living in a corner of the desolate Ancient Domain had been concentrated into venom and refined.
"They're here!"
Within the range of his soul perception, a massive purple butterfly appeared, dancing gracefully. It was a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
Xiao Ting knew that this butterfly was actually the Ghostly Poison Flame.
The Ghostly Poison Flame was a flame that existed in the ancient Netherworld Poison Swamp. After being contaminated by countless toxic miasmas covering the swamp for millions of years, this flame had devoured endless toxic miasma. After a hundred years, it became a spirit, and after a thousand years, it took form.
When the flame exerted its maximum power, its color turned greenish, drifting through the toxic miasma like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Because the flame itself was nurtured by toxic miasma, it possessed extremely strong toxicity!
When the flame reached its peak, it transformed into a butterfly and flew off in search of deadly poison.
With his current power, Xiao Ting could easily suppress the Ghostly Poison Flame and seal it inside the Yellow Spring Divine Stele.
Once he returned to the space of Ancient Emperor Tou She's cave, he could use Purple Beast Flame to devour the source of the Ghostly Poison Flame and divide it into three parts, giving them to the Little Fairy Doctor and Xun Er to refine.
After suppressing the flame, Xiao Ting unhesitatingly used his flying technique to merge into space and fled into the desolate Ancient Domain.
It would still be a long time before the Bodhi Tree, unable to withstand the negative emotions of Dou Gods, appeared in this world seeking help.
However, for Xiao Ting, it was not difficult to find the depths of the Bodhi Tree in advance and enter it!
In reality, after stepping into the depths of the Ancient Wasteland, Xiao Ting immediately noticed that one of the spaces was different.
This space was surrounded by terrifying energy crystals. Even a nine-star Dou Saint would not be able to break through by force.
Xiao Ting did not need to solve it by force. Using his supernatural ability was as easy as going home.
Not long after, Xiao Ting arrived in a special space.
Standing here was an ancient tree about three meters tall. Its entire bark shone emerald green like precious jade, exuding astonishing vitality, as if it had stood here for millions of years.
"Bodhi Tree, do you need any help?"
