Chapter 837: Break the Law Body

After the Xuan Shi Emperor let out a loud laugh, his gaze sharpened as he fixed it on Xiao Yan; in this golden hall's world, when his eyes locked onto Xiao Yan, it seemed as if his gaze alone was the sole source of light in this realm.

Supreme!

Refining the Planar Embryo is merely the threshold of a Supreme; one can imagine what this level represents—when faced with such an absolute powerhouse, even the Demon Kings of the Domain Beyond, Great Completion Earth Supremes, would have their Spiritual Souls instantly shaken and all their powers sealed.

Yet, facing the Supreme's gaze, Xiao Yan stood unmoved, meeting his eyes with calm composure.

Even if the Xuan Shi Emperor's gaze could instantly shatter divine souls, it had not the slightest effect on Xiao Yan.

In response to the Supreme Xuan Shi Emperor's question, Xiao Yan merely smiled faintly and said, "No, the gap between a Great Completion Earth Supreme and a Supreme remains immense, and even among Spirit-grade Supremes, there are strong and weak."

"Whether I can defeat other Supremes, I don't know—but against you, I believe I can at least avoid defeat."

With a loud bang, in that instant, a thunderous roar erupted as terrifying spiritual energy obscured Space—but the Xuan Shi Emperor did not strike; instead, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha, you truly have courage, but alas, heroes always die young. Do you think this expedition involves only my Xuan Shi Palace as a super faction?"

"I know—it's that lustful fool, the Western Heaven War Emperor. But he won't be coming." Xiao Yan's voice drifted out, quiet and cold.

!?

"That guy may be a fool, but there's no denying he possesses real power—he's called the Hundred Battles Unbeaten for good reason. People pick the softest targets; you, my friend, are that soft persimmon. He has someone else to deal with." Xiao Yan felt no surprise at all; he knew he was a troublemaker, and even facing a Supreme, he would never retreat—naturally, he had angered many.

The Western Heaven War Emperor was one of them. The Western Heaven Zhan Dian was the first super faction to learn of the Dou Qi Continent, and the Western Heaven War Emperor had long desired to seize it and claim its Planar Embryo—but out of pride, he had never moved.

Now that the shameless Xuan Shi Emperor has taken the lead, how could he possibly refrain from joining in to claim his share?

At this moment, beyond Ning Tian Continent, countless light-years away in the cosmos, a vast armada of cosmic vessels halted before a star.

"Who are you? Why do you block us?" On the fleet, an old man with the power of a Great Completion Earth Supreme glared with fury at the black-robed figure standing in Space, blocking their path.

He never imagined anyone would dare intercept the Western Heaven Zhan Dian's expedition fleet!

The black-robed figure's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying spiritual force blast instantly sent the speaking Frostwinter Elder reeling backward, suffering minor injury.

The Frostwinter Elder stared in terror at the black-robed figure and exclaimed, "Y-You're a Supreme!"

Someone who could injure him with just a glance—this could only be a Supreme! An invincible being on par with the War Emperor!

"Have the War Emperor, that young pup, come out. You're not in charge." The black-robed figure spoke calmly, his hands clasped behind his back.

The Frostwinter Elder knew he could not possibly resist a Supreme—not he, nor even the entire fleet combined, nor all ten-odd Great Completion Earth Supremes of the Western Heaven Zhan Dian together could stand against a Supreme.

He did not believe any Great Completion Earth Supreme could challenge a Supreme; it was a gap between heaven and earth, utterly impossible to cross.

Immediately, the Frostwinter Elder took a deep breath, reverently held the golden Scroll in both hands, bit his tongue, and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the Scroll.

Hummm—the moment the essence blood landed, the golden Scroll erupted in a blinding, all-encompassing Golden Light; from that light radiated an extremity of terrifying energy, towering above heaven and earth, as if it were the sovereign of all.

Under that terrifying aura, every being below Earth Supreme level in this realm immediately knelt, unable to lift their heads, trembling all over.

Even Earth Supremes watching from afar had to bow deeply at ninety degrees, for they all knew what that aura signified—only one person in the entire Western Heaven Zhan Dian, indeed in the whole Western Heaven Continent, possessed such authority.

That was the master of the Western Heaven Zhan Dian—the legendary War Emperor, Hundred Battles Unbeaten!

"We welcome our Emperor."

On every massive warship, warriors like the Frostwinter Elder, Great Completion Earth Supremes, gazed at the golden radiance exuding an aura of sole supremacy and immediately knelt, bowing respectfully.

In the cosmos, that golden radiance stood with hands clasped behind his back; he had brilliant, dazzling golden hair, a face as sharply carved as if sculpted by a blade, and eyes so deep they radiated irresistible charisma, unforgettable to all who beheld them.

Yet it was the overwhelming, heaven-defying majesty radiating from him that was his most captivating trait.

The moment this golden radiance appeared, his gaze locked onto the black-robed figure, and a vast, deep voice thundered across the heavens and earth.

"Who are you?" The Western Heaven War Emperor's eyes swept over the black-robed figure; though he could not discern the man's true form, there was no doubt—the opponent was also a Supreme!

Slowly, the black-robed figure lifted his Hood, revealing a weathered face—undoubtedly, it was Wu Ling Tian Zun.

Wu Ling Tian Zun's heart was filled with bitter frustration; he had thought his injury was stabilized—he'd already paid the gold, booked the "famous doctor"—yet this turned out to be a quack!

Now he had no choice; he was already bound to Xiao Yan, had already used the Spirit Stone, and was counting on Xiao Yan to save him—he could never let Xiao Yan be killed.

"Damn brat, always dragging me into trouble," Wu Ling Tian Zun gritted his teeth; he had come to intercept the Western Heaven War Emperor precisely because Xiao Yan had arranged it.

A while ago, Xiao Yan had informed Wu Ling Tian Zun he could suppress his internal injuries, allowing him to regain some strength. Xiao Yan had indeed used the Saint Pupil to suppress some of his wounds—he'd even believed Xiao Yan truly had such ability.

But it was all a trap to get him to act!

Wu Ling Tian Zun looked at the Western Heaven War Emperor before him and understood why Xiao Yan had ordered him to block him.

This Western Heaven War Emperor was truly formidable; merely from his Spiritual Pressure, one could sense it. Not only had he reached the peak of Spirit-grade Supreme, but more importantly, he was a War Array master.

When the Western Heaven War Emperor appeared, the countless massive warships behind him seemed bound together, linked as one; faint yet persistent Battle Intentions slowly rose—this man was undoubtedly a War Array master of ten million battle patterns, and likely already reached thirty million.

Among Spirit-grade Supremes, he stood among the elite.

"Wu Ling Tian Zun?" The Western Heaven War Emperor frowned; Wu Ling Tian Zun had long entered Xianpin Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Supreme rank. Though Spirit-grade and Xianpin Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun differ by only one minor tier, for Supremes, that single tier was an unbridgeable abyss—a crushing, insurmountable gap.

"No wonder you rank among the top demon-slayers of the Great Thousand Palace—you truly are the new tide pushing the old." Wu Ling Tian Zun spoke politely; even with Saint Pupil power suppressing his injury, he had not fully recovered and currently possessed only Spirit-grade Supreme strength.

"Originally, I shouldn't interfere in your affairs with the Flame Venerable, but that Flame Venerable of the Soul Sect has a transaction with me, so I hope you'll let this matter rest." Wu Ling Tian Zun said.

Hearing Wu Ling Tian Zun's words, the Western Heaven War Emperor's eyes widened slightly, his expression turning grave.

He never imagined that in just a year, the Flame Venerable from the Lower Plane had managed to befriend a Supreme—even to the point of drawing out a veteran powerhouse like Wu Ling Tian Zun!

He had heard rumors about Xiao Yan: recently, he had conquered the entire Heavenly Saint Sect, and even the Ice Spirit Clan's ancestral elder had personally intervened and failed to stop him. Though the Ice Spirit Ancestor was only an early-stage Supreme, far weaker than him, the gap between Supreme and Earth Supreme was even greater!

Thus, his expedition to Ning Tian Continent was not only for the Dou Qi Continent—it was also because he had begun to fear Xiao Yan.

If Xiao Yan truly possessed the Planar Embryo of the Five Elements Spirit Soil, becoming a Supreme was all but guaranteed. He had not forgotten his past grievances with the Soul Sect.

Though he had suffered great losses in that battle, lost a subordinate Earth Supreme, and should have been the one seeking revenge, he could not be certain the Flame Venerable wouldn't strike against him.

The Western Heaven War Emperor pursed his lips, fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a calm tone that sent a shudder through every powerful being in the cosmos.

"I fear I cannot let this matter rest." The Western Heaven War Emperor's eyes blazed, his face serious and resolute.

Xiao Yan had already made him wary—if he truly grew, he might become an unstoppable rival. And now that he had acted, the Flame Venerable had sent Wu Ling Tian Zun—meaning he knew.

The two sides had now become enemies.

The Western Heaven War Emperor's quiet voice echoed across the entire Universe Space, drenching every warrior in his fleet in cold sweat, their scalps prickling; distant observers felt an overwhelming urge to flee immediately.

Both had reached the Supreme tier—if they clashed, it would shatter heaven and earth; perhaps even the entire Universe Space would be torn apart!

Such a confrontation carried destruction within itself.

Wu Ling Tian Zun heard the Western Heaven War Emperor's reply and narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled faintly and said, "It seems I've been gone too long—no one remembers this old man anymore."

"Very well, let me see what abilities today's geniuses possess."

Wu Ling Tianzun is a Xianpin Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun; though he is no longer what he once was, a rising young Spirit-level Tianzun is not something he needs to fear overly.

Boom!! Instantly, two terrifyingly powerful auras surged like storms across heaven and earth, sweeping through countless realms. Far away from Ning Tian Continent, two Tianzun ignited a monumental battle because of Xiao Yan.

Returning to Xiao Yan's location, he remained calm toward Xuan Shi Da Di's astonishment. He did not deny that he had promised Wu Ling Tianzun a pie—but the very ability to promise such a pie was itself a talent; in the entire Great Thousand World, fewer than ten people could promise Wu Ling Tianzun such a pie.

Xuan Shi Da Di's expression grew dark; he had not anticipated that Xiao Yan could summon a Tianzun to block the Western Heaven War Emperor—this was utterly beyond his expectations.

"Enough talk. Let me see what abilities this Great Thousand World's Tianzun truly possesses." A thunderous boom erupted from Xiao Yan's body; as if on cue, Dou Qi surged forth, and above his head appeared a supreme, majestic Supreme Form.

This differed from the initial Dou Form; after inheriting Xiao Potian's legacy and undergoing over a year of cultivation while absorbing vast resources, Xiao Yan had advanced his Dou Form to its second stage—the Po Form—fusing it into the Dou Po Form!

As Xiao Yan unleashed the Dou Po Form, strange energies emerged instantly; Xuan Shi Da Di's gaze flared with light, sweeping over the colossal Form towering in the sky.

Beneath that terrifying gaze, it seemed as if he would pierce through Xiao Yan, exposing his very core.

"It seems we were indeed careless—you have cultivated the Original Form!" Seeing Xiao Yan's Dou Po Form, Xuan Shi Da Di now grew grave.

As a Tianzun, he knew many things. Though he had not participated in the battle fifty thousand years ago, all Tianzun must join the Great Thousand Palace and uphold the Da Qian Alliance to protect the Great Thousand World—and thus he knew the so-called lost Five Original Forms were a lie.

Tianzun live nearly as long as heaven itself; even without mentioning anything else, survivors of the battle fifty thousand years ago still existed—such as the Shou Mu Clan, direct descendants of the Immortal Emperor, who recorded countless deeds—how could they not know of the Original Forms? If even they lost knowledge of them, it could only mean the truth was deliberately concealed.

Thus, the instant Xiao Yan unleashed the Dou Po Form, Xuan Shi Da Di understood everything—he realized why "that one" had orchestrated this attack: the purpose was here!

That Lower Plane possessed the lost Original Form!

If this news spread, countless Tianzun would go mad. After all, the Original Form rivaled the Great Thousand World's thirty-six most powerful Supreme Divine Techniques—and even surpassed them. It was something even a Sage Emperor coveted.

A Great Perfection Earth Supreme could never challenge a Tianzun across ranks—but the Original Form caused a slight tremor in this law, introducing an unknown possibility!

Dou Qi permeated the entire Universe Space; after unleashing the Dou Po Form, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Energy transformed into Dou Qi. Combined with the Dou Po Form's own Dou Qi, the two merged, elevating his Cultivation Realm from Upper Earth Supreme Peak to Great Perfection Earth Supreme Peak.

Xiao Yan felt this Dou Qi—stronger than when he fought the Ice Spirit Ancestor—and took a deep breath, his face filled with satisfaction.

Then, he had only the Dou Form; now, it had evolved into the Dou Po Form, and the quality of his Dou Qi had risen once more.
