Chapter 1383: The Emperor Pill Appears
Hahaha!
When the little world where the Tian clan resided fell into chaos, within the Heavenly Tomb a maniacal laugh rang out, booming like exploding thunder.
Boom!
Soon after that laugh echoed, on the vast stone plaza inside the Heavenly Tomb a ten‑thousand‑foot‑tall stone statue suddenly burst open.
Immediately thereafter, a figure flashed into the sky.
At the same time, the moment the figure appeared, an aura that seemed to tower over heaven and earth surged violently from its body!
Under the influence of that aura, in an instant the entire space of the third layer of the Heavenly Tomb roiled like raging waves!
"Hehe, Master, congratulations, you've successfully broken through to Dou Emperor."
While the former was laughing uproariously, a girl in a black skirt suddenly appeared beside him, bending over with a faint smile.
Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately chuckled and patted her little head.
Then he murmured, "In just a year and a half you successfully advanced to Dou Emperor; that Nine Palaces Emperor‑Building Pill really works well."
However, thinking that this was prepared by an ancient Golden Core master for his own promotion, he smiled and shook his head.
After all, one can imagine the other party would only do so under certain conditions.
How could they possibly prepare inferior pills for me?
"Master, what shall we do now?"
At that moment, Xiao Ling instantly blinked her watery, bright eyes and asked.
"Hehe, keep breaking through, and when the time is right go out and deal with those troubles. After all, if the Ancestor of the Tongling Sect doesn't come in, we're in a bind."
Hearing that, Chen Shuo's eyes flashed with a keen light, and he smiled.
"Master, are you afraid that fellow has a way to leave the Dou Qi Continent and return to his own place?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling lightly tapped her rounded chin with a jade finger, thought for a moment, and finally understood the former's intention.
"Indeed."
Seeing the girl grasp it, Chen Shuo nodded, then continued: "If I act now, the Soul Heaven Emperor and the Ancestor of the Tongling Sect would certainly be unable to confront me directly. But I'm worried that the Ancestor of the Tongling Sect might have some way to escape; after all, they crossed an extremely distant cosmic space to reach our Dou Qi Continent. Since they could come, perhaps they can also return?"
"Of course, the biggest concern is that after I leave the Dou Qi Continent, the Da Qian Shijie will pull me straight there."
At this point, a hint of seriousness appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.
After all, a cultivator who has passed three tribulations is a step above the ordinary Dou Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent.
Who knows what tricks that fellow might have?
Moreover, once he steps off the Ascension Platform, he can easily be sucked away by the Da Qian Shijie.
So it's safer to handle this cautiously.
After all, in the original work, Xiao Yan broke through to Dou Emperor and, even after decades of cultivation, still couldn't resist the pulling force of the Ascension Path.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling instinctively nodded her little head in agreement.
Indeed, the master was right; the Tongling Sect is now on the Dou Qi Continent's Ascension Platform.
If the master goes there, he'll be sent away directly by the pathway.
But then she scratched her head and said, "Master, the source Qi left inside you is almost gone; it probably can't sustain another vortex to break through Dou Emperor again, right?"
"Moreover, the current energy is also insufficient, isn't it?"
While speaking, Xiao Ling looked at the former with a puzzled expression.
"Hehe."
Hearing that, Lin Feng gave a faint smile, then stood with his arms crossed and said, "Girl, don't forget that on this Dou Qi Continent, besides the sealed Gu Nanfang Dalu where we are, there's another sealed place as well."
"Another place?"
At those words, the girl's small face instantly filled with confusion.
But soon she clapped her hands in sudden realization: "Right, there's also the Ancient Eastern Continent, which is sealed too, and we haven't gone there yet. Moreover, since the Gu Nanfang Dalu has an Ascension Platform, that side surely does as well; we can tear open its space to draw source Qi into the lower realm!"
"Indeed, that Ancient Eastern Continent, though it lacks the massive legacy left by the Tongling Sect and Pingnan Army that accelerated recovery on the Gu Nanfang Dalu, after such a long period of restoration, must also be another Central Continent."
Seeing the former finally catch on, Lin Feng again ruffled her head and headed outward.
As for Xiao Ling, when she saw her master leave, she hurried after him.
And as the two walked away, in the blink of an eye they were already in the outside world.
At the same time, the moment they appeared in the sky of the outside world, the space spanning over a hundred thousand li momentarily stilled.
Immediately, a vast aura spread out in an instant, racing across the entire sky within Pingnan Pass!
Even if Lin Feng hadn't deliberately blocked it, the Ancestor of the Tongling Sect far in the extreme south would have been startled as well.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Shortly after the two appeared, figures darted from all directions, and finally a dense crowd of them settled in the space surrounding them.
"Lin Feng, you... succeeded?!"
When Zhu Kun reached him, feeling the aura emanating from the other's body that made his own body and soul constantly tremble, he couldn't help stammering.
After all, the previous Lin Feng only gave him a strong sense of danger.
But now, the feeling he got was like that of the Earth Supreme, making him shiver all over.
Achieving this cannot be done by a half‑emperor; only a true Dou Emperor can.
"That's right, the breakthrough just succeeded."
Seeing the crowd's shocked expressions, Lin Feng also gave a faint smile and stated the truth.
"Gulp"
Although everyone had been prepared, hearing it they still involuntarily swallowed, their faces shocked as they stared at him.
"Dou Emperor, after ten thousand years, have you reappeared?"
At that moment, that sentence echoed endlessly in everyone's minds.
After the arena was silent for a while, Zhu Kun, finally recovering from his shock, rubbed his hands and said, "Good son‑in‑law, then, shall we go kill that Soul Heaven Emperor now?"
"No, it's not the time yet."
Hearing that, Lin Feng waved his hand casually and then explained, "I'm ready."
Immediately after, he recounted roughly the plan that Xiao Ling had mentioned earlier.
"That could indeed be a way."
After hearing the earlier plan, Zhu Kun furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and then, with a contemplative nod, said.
As for Huang Tian and the others, they basically shared the same thought.
After all, if the Upper Realm truly exists, Lin Feng entering the Ascension Path would easily be sucked away by that so‑called Da Qian Shijie.
And then, those left on the Dou Qi Continent would be doomed outright.
Thinking of that, they felt Lin Feng's plan was better.
After all, we really can't afford to gamble!
Seeing this, Lin Feng scanned the surroundings and immediately asked, "What about Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian?"
"They left a note and departed shortly after you entered seclusion; I have no idea where they went now."
Hearing that, Zhu Kun immediately scratched his head with a gloomy expression and said.
Since his own daughter ran away, he has searched everywhere, almost even entering the Soul Heaven Emperor's great array.
However, no matter how he searched.
He could never find any trace of his daughter or the women associated with Lin Feng.
Indeed, this matter is truly strange!
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing that, Lin Feng instantly knew they had probably gone to the Void Boat to meet Yun Yun and the three beauties of the Dan Tower, so he didn't continue asking.
After giving a slight nod, he said, "Now, you all should hurry into the Heaven Tomb. To avoid alerting anyone, my promotion to Dou Emperor must remain secret and cannot be disclosed. Therefore, all of you enter the Heaven Tomb, and I will lead you out."
"After all, given the current state of the Soul Heaven Emperor, it should take at most half a year to succeed in promotion. I must rely on the Heaven Tomb's assistance."
While speaking, Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing straight toward the north.
After entering the Dou Emperor realm, the seal on the ancient Southern Continent had long become ineffective for him.
Thus, his gaze could easily pierce through it and see the state of the Soul Heaven Emperor in Zhongzhou Continent.
After all, from a certain perspective, he is now almost a god of the Dou Qi Continent.
Up to now, no one can surpass him in the Dou Emperor realm!
Even the restored Bodhi Ancient Tree is no different.
"Alright."
Hearing the earlier urging, Zhu Kun, Huang Tian, Yao Ming and the others immediately nodded in response.
Then, they cheerfully sent their clan members away from here to the Heaven Tomb.
After all, Lin Feng has become an emperor now; given their relationship, the other side will certainly help them become emperor.
Would they not be happy about that?
Moreover, even if the Soul Heaven Emperor follows closely in promoting to Dou Emperor, what does it matter now that Lin Feng is a Dou Emperor strongman?
Could they still dare to come to Lin Feng's place to cause trouble and then kill them?
Therefore, at this moment, the safety of these people is unprecedentedly guaranteed.
"The Soul Heaven Emperor in the original work seemed to have taken more than half a year to promote successfully. Now that I've dealt with Wu Nie Tun Yan, his speed may be slightly affected, but probably not much. It seems I must accelerate my other vortex's promotion to Dou Emperor. After all, I don't want to repeat the original Xiao Yan's fate, abandoning my mortal body to save the world!"
Seeing members of the three great beast families enter the Heaven Tomb, Lin Feng, while shrinking the Heaven Tomb back to his side, couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he glanced at some place in the north, furrowed his brows slightly, and finally decided to deal with his current matters before going there.
At the same time, his figure vanished swiftly from here.
"Boom—!"
As Lin Feng began to act, a massive array over the skies of Zhongzhou Continent suddenly erupted with earth‑shattering thunderous roars.
Under this thunderous roar, the entire Zhongzhou Continent trembled at that moment!
Meanwhile, massive towering black clouds began to gather continuously in the high sky.
Accompanied by relentless thunderous explosions that made the whole Zhongzhou Continent shake.
Around, a violent aura as if destroying heaven and earth silently enveloped an area of hundreds of thousands of miles!
Under this earth‑shaking commotion, the distant Blood Sea in the sky began to ripple uncontrollably.
The Soul‑Eating Deathless Array, shrouded by the black clouds aloft, started to wobble as if about to collapse.
It seemed as if this anciently famed great array was trembling in fear at this moment.
Meanwhile, the Blood Sea in the sky surged.
A vortex suddenly emerged from the Blood Sea.
Then a massive blood‑red lotus slowly rose from the boundless Blood Sea into the sky.
Along with the blood lotus, a figure was seen seated within it.
The person's hair was extremely long and blood‑red, cascading down his back like a waterfall of blood.
Some even pierced the lower blood lotus, falling into the Blood Sea beneath, floating on its surface like a demon spreading its wings.
Besides the Soul Heaven Emperor who employs the Soul‑Eating Deathless Array to slaughter Zhongzhou beings for alchemy, who else could it be?
However, he is not the same as a few months ago.
After long integration with the imperial‑grade embryonic pill inside his body, his strength has now advanced further.
He is now only one step away from the legendary Dou Emperor realm!
"Hehe, it seems the imperial‑grade pill has finally been refined by me."
And he opened his blood-red eyes, blood-red pupils, gazing at the dark black clouds overhead; on his grim face, a smile involuntarily appeared.
He had painstakingly plotted for over a thousand years; finally, was he about to fulfill his wish?
"Hahaha, Gu Yuan, what a pity. You now have been wiped out completely; you cannot see my appearance as an emperor!"
Thinking of his old rival Gu Yuan, the Soul Heaven Emperor couldn't help but burst into loud laughter toward the sky.
He had nearly completed all the steps to refine an emperor-grade pill.
Next, as long as he withstands this pill lightning.
Then, his emperor-grade pill would be complete.
And after that, as long as he refines the pill, he can draw on the source qi within and the vast energy that makes his soul tremble slightly to complete his advancement.
Become the Dou Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent who has vanished for over ten thousand years!
Thinking of this, the Soul Heaven Emperor's mouth involuntarily curled.
"I, at last, am about to become the first Dou Emperor powerhouse after the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?"
"Don't worry, Gu Yuan; your clan still has a few left. When I become emperor, this emperor will let them keep this very good Little Xi for you, hahaha. Boom boom boom!"
Amidst the flashing lightning and rumbling thunder in the sky, the Soul Heaven Emperor laughed aloud like a demon.
"Pill lightning, this emperor wants to see what you can do to me."
Thereafter, his figure flashed, and in an instant he shot straight toward the thick black clouds in the sky.
