Chapter 1350: line with translation of chapter title

Thinking this, everyone felt that after a long period of self-improvement, the emperor pill now is probably terrifyingly strong.

Perhaps they could even press Wu Nie Tun Yan to the ground and grind it.

In this situation, even the Soul Heaven Emperor or Gu Yuan might not be able to instantly kill that nascent pill, right?

Thinking this, everyone's earlier anxiety vanished.

As for Lin Feng, after seeing everyone quiet down, he immediately turned his gaze toward Xiao Ling beside him.

Seeing Lin Feng's gaze directed at her, Xiao Ling immediately wanted to say something.

However, Lin Feng immediately blinked, signalling her not to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling immediately swallowed the words she was about to say.

After all, the forces on our side are now complex; he worries that others might learn the specific details of the cave dwelling.

Especially the Gu Di inheritance, which is even more important than the Emperor-grade nascent pill; he doesn't want more people to know about it.

Otherwise, if someone were to betray and join the Soul Clan or the Ancient Clan, it would cause big trouble.

"Wu Nie, where is the Emperor-grade nascent pill now?"

At the same time, the Soul Heaven Emperor far at the edge of the plaza withdrew his gaze from the empty stone pillar and then looked toward Wu Nie Tun Yan beside him, sending a mental message.

Although he didn't see the top-ranked strange fire on the Strange Fire List, it left him somewhat disappointed.

But he hasn't forgotten his purpose for coming here.

Compared to the top-ranked strange fire on the list, what he cares more about is the Emperor-grade nascent pill that can help him break through the barrier and advance to Dou Emperor!

Hearing the urging, Wu Nie Tun Yan immediately turned his head and gazed toward the end of the plaza.

The stone hall there, amidst the constantly drifting thick fog, appears and disappears, making it impossible to see its concrete scenery.

And the others, noticing Wu Nie Tun Yan's movement, all turned their heads and looked toward the stone hall half-hidden in the fog in the distance.

The next moment, amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Wu Nie Tun Yan's mouth suddenly opened wide.

"Huh—huh!"

Accompanying the opening of his mouth, a suction force suddenly surged out.

It directly swallowed all the surrounding mist into his body.

And as the mist dissipated, a huge shadow instantly enveloped the plaza that had been cleared of mist.

Only after everyone hurriedly lifted their heads did they discover in shock.

A gray stone statue tens of thousands of zhang tall had actually been hidden behind the stone hall all along!

Upon closer inspection, the statue resembled an old man.

However, that appearance was already familiar to the Soul Heaven Emperor and others—it was the master of the Gu Di cave dwelling, the legendary Tuoshe ancient emperor!

Even the members of the Gu and Yan clans, because earlier the Soul Heaven Emperor, while sensing the Gu Di cave dwelling from outside, used the Tuoshe ancient emperor jade to summon a phantom of Tuoshe ancient emperor.

Thus, they now recognize the true identity of this stone statue!

And this stone statue stands between heaven and earth, emitting an overwhelming aura as if it dominates heaven and earth.

Under such an aura, even the Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan felt their breathing somewhat strained.

As for those at Five-Star Dou Saint and below, they directly dropped to their knees uncontrollably.

They could only watch helplessly as their knees slammed hard onto the hard stone slabs!

Those from Six-Star to Eight-Star Dou Saint, although somewhat better off than the previous ones,

still bent their waists to varying degrees under that overwhelming aura.

But soon, the Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan came to their senses from their stupor.

Immediately afterward, their gazes, without prior agreement, turned toward that gray stone statue resembling a sky‑supporting pillar.

As soon as their gaze fell upon it, they discovered that numerous light orbs were dancing around the statue.

From afar, they looked incredibly splendid.

But soon they realized that within those light orbs were actually scrolls of various colors.

And on those scrolls they both felt an extremely strong spiritual essence.

This spiritual essence is in no way inferior to the top‑grade heavenly‑step techniques or combat skills of their own clans!

"Are these all techniques and combat skills?"

Gazing at those splendid light orbs, the Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan almost simultaneously narrowed their eyes, and then their hearts were struck with a sharp shock.

Because, under their powerful soul perception, both knew that the scrolls surrounding the statue numbered no less than three hundred!

And hundreds of top‑grade heavenly‑step techniques and combat skills had abruptly appeared before their eyes.

Such a collection, even for two Nine‑Star Peak Dou Saint powerhouses accustomed to various treasures, made their breathing involuntarily grow heavier.

Top‑grade heavenly‑step techniques and combat skills, though present in both the Gu and Soul clans, are absolutely extremely precious.

Yet here, the things they regard as treasures are as common as cabbage, filling their field of vision!

Although heavenly‑step techniques and combat skills are attractive, for experts like Gu Yuan and the Soul Heaven Emperor they do not provoke much greed.

Even if obtained, they would merely contribute to their clan's development.

But to think of using them to boost one's own strength is sheer nonsense.

Therefore, after a quick sweep of their gaze, they swiftly turned their attention elsewhere.

However, after looking around, the Emperor‑grade nascent pill they had been longing for still remained unseen.

Meanwhile, the aura emanating from the statue came quickly and faded just as fast.

Not long after, the other Dou Saints also recovered from the previous pressure.

Immediately afterward, their fervent gazes instantly focused on the scrolls within the splendid light.

The Soul Heaven Emperor and Gu Yuan, who as Nine‑Star Peak Dou Saints in normal circumstances have nowhere left to rise, usually disregard such external things, but they do care about them!

After all, among those present, those who can possess top‑grade heavenly‑step techniques and combat skills are exceedingly rare.

Therefore, facing something that could truly boost their combat power, how could everyone not care?

Wu Nie Tun Yan, I didn't expect you to bring so many guests. This space... it's been so long since it's been this lively!

Just as everyone was dazzled by the dense clusters of light, suddenly, a faint, ancient voice came down from the sky, spreading to everyone's ears.

And this sudden ancient voice directly startled everyone.

Even Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi were no exception!

After all, they hadn't noticed the slightest trace of the voice's owner's aura.

But the other party was aware of their existence.

This also indicates that the other party either could control the mechanisms inside the cave dwelling or something else, thereby sensing their presence.

Or the owner of the voice is stronger than them!

Thinking this, everyone, including Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan, quickly turned their gaze, finally fixing it on the source of the voice—the shoulder of the stone statue that stood like a pillar holding up the sky.

There, at some point, an ancient figure stood with hands behind his back, gazing indifferently at the crowd below.

However, that gaze made everyone present feel extremely displeased.

Because that gaze was the same as how they looked at weak people—like looking at ants.

However, in the gaps while looking down at these people, for some reason, the old man suddenly glanced ahead.

However, this movement was extremely slight, and with everyone else's attention scattered at the moment, no one noticed his action.

But at the moment he moved, Lin Feng, far away at the other end of the plaza.

In his mind, a similarly extremely weak fluctuation rose and spread.

"Tuoshe Gu Di!?"

When they turned their gaze back to the stone hall and saw the mysterious old man in plain robes, the three clans' people all exclaimed in shock.

All of this was due to the old man's appearance.

It was exactly the same as the illusory old man summoned earlier when Hun Tiandi activated the Tuoshe Gu Di Jade!

Even the unique colored hair was exactly the same!

"Could it be that the Emperor Grade Infant Pill inside the Gu Di Dong Fu, which could help a Nine-star Peak Dou Saint break through, is fake? All of this is a trap set by Tuoshe Gu Di—he isn't dead?!"

The people below stared blankly at the old man on the distant stone statue's shoulder, whose aura radiated supremacy over heaven and earth, and a thought that made their scalps tingle surged into everyone's minds.

However, this absurd thought was just raised when Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan rejected it.

After all, even a Dou Emperor expert, if they retained only one percent of their peak combat power, could crush any of them.

If they really wanted to scheme against them, there's no need to play such roundabout tricks.

Thinking this, Hun Tiandi's expression also turned grim.

He then looked toward Wu Nie Tun Yan beside him, ignoring others nearby, and directly asked: "What's going on?"

On that old man's body, he indeed felt a palpitation-inducing aura.

Such an aura is certainly not something a Nine-star Peak Dou Saint possesses!

Although the former didn't shout loudly, at least those present were one-star Dou Saints, so their hearing was naturally extremely sharp.

Therefore, as soon as the former spoke, the allied forces led by Gu Yuan in the distance heard it clearly.

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon Wu Nie Tun Yan.

As for the latter, after hearing Hun Tiandi's question, he did not answer immediately.

Instead, he raised his head, his eyes fixed tightly on the old man on the stone statue's shoulder.

After a moment, he suddenly said: "He is not Tuoshe Gu Di; he is the Emperor Grade Infant Pill you've been longing for."

"Boom!" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present except Wu Nie Tun Yan and that old man felt as if a bomb had been dropped in their minds, exploding.

The next moment, Hun Tiandi wanted to speak to confirm with his partner.

But soon he realized.

Wu Nie Tun Yan could not speak with such certainty when uncertain.

After all, having cooperated for so long, Hun Tiandi still understood his temperament.

Immediately, hundreds of pairs of eyes emitting strange light quickly locked onto the colored-haired old man on the stone statue's shoulder.

After all, that is an Emperor Grade Pill, capable of helping one break through to Dou Emperor!

"Wu Nie Tun Yan, you and Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, you two bastards, what exactly are you doing? Are you here to help me?"

The old man on the stone statue, hearing Wu Nie Tun Yan's words, was momentarily stunned, then pointed at him and shouted angrily.

"What do you mean we came to help you? What exactly are you trying to say?"

Suddenly being scolded bloody by the colored-haired old man, Wu Nie Tun Yan furrowed his brows and replied with a bewildered expression.

After all, he doesn't remember ever promising anything to that Emperor Grade Infant Pill.

He hasn't even met it before.

"Damn it, if I hadn't torn open that old thing's seal back then, helped you and Pure Lotus Demonic Fire leave the pillar, and then helped you leave the cave dwelling, you two couldn't possibly have escaped!"

Saying this, the Emperor Grade Infant Pill's tone suddenly shifted, and it sternly questioned: "You back then promised me that after leaving, you would find a way to gather the keys and rescue me from this prison!"

When the former explained the reason, everyone present's bodies shuddered at that moment.

Immediately, everyone's eyes, including Hun Tiandi's, turned toward Wu Nie Tun Yan in astonishment.

Could this guy actually have been trapped here, as the colored-haired old man said?!

As for the person involved, Wu Nie Tun Yan, his dark face showed expressions that changed several times.

After pondering for a while, he finally furrowed his brows and shook his head.

He searched his memory thoroughly, yet still could not find any trace related to what the former said.

He then spread his hands and said frankly: "Sorry, although after entering the Gu Di Dong Fu I recalled some information about this place, I completely don't remember what you said about escaping and rescuing."

Having said that, Wu Nie Tun Yan's voice abruptly stopped.

Immediately, a strange smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "But this time, I truly came to 'save' you out. So, come with me now."

Hearing the true meaning in Wu Nie Tun Yan's words, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill paid no attention.

His expression turned somewhat grim as he stared at Wu Nie Tun Yan for a long moment; suddenly, his eyes shot up toward the distance, and he bellowed: "Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, since you've come, show yourself—tell me if you still remember our promise from back then."

As his words fell, the speaker's voice, amplified by Dou Qi, instantly echoed across an immense distance.

This made the subject of the words hear everything clearly.

"What?"

"Pure Lotus Demonic Fire?!"

At the instant the speaker's shout rang out, the others led by Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan suddenly changed expression.

In a flash, they finally realized that when the Emperor-grade Infant Pill spoke of Wu Nie Tun Yan, it seemed to be saying, "You guys?!"

Previously, because their attention was entirely on the Emperor-grade Infant Pill, they had not noticed this.

Now, after the latter's reminder once more, everyone finally sensed something was off.

Based on the grey-haired old man's meaning, aside from their two groups.

It seems that others have also entered the Place: Gu Di Dong Fu?

"Wait, Pure Lotus Demonic Fire—there should only be one on the continent. And his new master seems to be..."

Because there were survivors from the Primordial Flame Space struggle, the experiences there are not a secret.

Those present, after a brief moment of shock, instantly thought of the name of the new master of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

Immediately afterward, they instantly recalled the person who had vanished without a trace after the Medicine Classic incident.

"Looks like we've been discovered; hiding is pointless now. In that case, everyone, let's move out!"

At the same time, Lin Feng in the distance sensed a gaze shooting over, and he helplessly shook his head.

He knew that his original plan was doomed to fail.

As for the three major beast clans and his many wives and concubines, their faces instantly turned as dark as water.

After all, that voice exposed them; it meant that their plan to let the Hun and Gu sides fight to the death, then swoop in to profit, had gone bankrupt.

Thus, nobody could feel happy.

As for Xiao Ling, the subject of that voice's discussion, she helplessly turned her gaze toward her master.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and stroked her smooth golden threads, then comforted: "It's fine; just keep a normal mindset."

"Hmm."

Having her head stroked by the former, the little girl immediately rubbed her head against her master's palm.

At the same time, her panic instantly dissipated.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately turned his head to glance at the people behind him, then said: "Stay on guard, prepare for battle, and then let's go."

As soon as his words fell, he took Xiao Ling's jade hand and, leading the way, shot forward.

Meanwhile, the Old Dragon Emperor furrowed his brow, then looked toward Zi Yan and reminded: "Daughter, the master of that voice is not ordinary; we must be careful."

Having said that, he hurriedly chased after the place where Lin Feng had disappeared.

Upon hearing that, Zi Yan lightly nodded, then led the Ancient Dragon clan's forces flying toward the source of that voice.

At the same time, Xiao Yixian and the other women likewise brought their men's concubines and followed along.

As for the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, seeing this, they sighed and vanished on the spot.

Not long after that group ahead disappeared, Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Wu Nie Tun Yan standing before the stone hall were the first to notice.

Now, a large amount of aura is rapidly rushing toward their location.

Not long after, the others also gradually noticed.

In the rear mist, a large amount of aura is come sprinting.

And judging from the intensity of those auras, they are likely to undergo a fierce battle this time.

"Everyone, I never expected we'd have such fate to meet each other in this empty Place: Gu Di Dong Fu."

Charging out of the grey mist, when Lin Feng arrived before the towering stone statue reaching the heavens, he immediately laughed and greeted everyone.

That appearance of greeting a friend was also utterly unnoticed by anyone, an embarrassment.

"Lin Feng, it's really you!"

Seeing the newcomer's appearance clearly, many present clenched their teeth in anger.

After all, the former had sneakily hidden behind them; his purpose, as long as one's brain isn't addled by one's wife's legs, is naturally obvious at once.

After all, Lin Feng ventured into this strange land built by Dou Emperor experts; he couldn't possibly be here just for a spring outing, right?

However, Hun Tiandi, Wu Nie Tun Yan, Gu Yuan, and some other Eight-Star Dou Saints quickly sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the newcomer.

"Your strength is Nine-Star Dou Saint!"

Following that sentence, several people blurted it out uncontrollably.

"What?!"

Upon those words, the surrounding people shuddered, utterly disbelieving as they looked at Lin Feng.

They could hardly imagine that, aside from Hun Tiandi, Wu Nie Tun Yan, and Gu Yuan, there actually existed another Nine-Star Dou Saint on this Dou Qi continent!

Most importantly, everyone present except the grey-haired old man, even if they had never seen Lin Feng, had heard his name more or less from the Primordial Flame Space and the Medicine Classic incident.

But even the Medicine Classic incident where they last heard his name—wasn't his strength only Five-Star Dou Saint?

How could he jump straight to Nine-Star Dou Saint in less than three years?

This... this... even if he shot up a ton of hormones, it wouldn't necessarily let him grow this fast!

Meanwhile, while the two groups were shocked, the three major beast clans and Lin Feng's many women likewise descended upon this sky amidst sonic booms.

At the same time, the immensely powerful Old Dragon Emperor successfully helped his son-in-law draw fire.

Before the aura of his Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint, Lin Feng's Nine-Star Initial aura.

Instantly, it was like a star beside the sun, appearing extremely inconspicuous.

Therefore, as soon as the Old Dragon Emperor appeared, it instantly attracted the main attention of the two factions led by the Soul Heaven Emperor, Wu Nie Tun Yan, and Gu Yuan.

"Who exactly is this person? Why do I sense a dangerous aura from him?"

While the three Nine-Star Dou Saints continuously scanned Zhu Kun with their gazes, the same sentence simultaneously sprang to mind and blurted out.

However, that white-haired old man obviously did not care about anything else.

Upon seeing Xiao Ling appear, he immediately fixed a fiery gaze on that girl and said in a deep voice: "Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, do you recognize me? Do you still remember our pact when I tore open space to help you guys out?"

"Ah?"

Hearing that, Xiao Ling was stunned, then she half-hidden her body behind her master.

Upon recalling her master's earlier words, she immediately shook her head and spoke frankly: "In my memory, you do not exist. As for that so-called promise, there's no need to mention it."

Upon receiving the same answer as Wu Nie Tun Yan, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill's fists clenched uncontrollably.

At the same time, his complexion instantly became uncertain.

After a moment, the old man seemed to have figured something out, looking at the stone statue beside him, he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "I was wondering why Wu Nie Tun Yan and Pure Lotus Demonic Fire could escape while I couldn't. Old geezer, it seems you deliberately tricked me into letting those two out, so you could bring people over to open the cave dwelling, capture me, and have me consume it to create a new Dou Emperor for the Dou Qi Continent."

"Is this your method? Really, it's vicious!" (End of chapter)
