Looking out, in an instant, the boundless sky was filled with scorching flames, and the world was transformed into a giant furnace.
Upon witnessing the power of the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul's palm strike, Zhu Kun's expression changed drastically. He had never expected that this damned Emperor-grade Nascent Soul hadn't even used its full strength during the previous battle.
The young Emperor-grade cultivator stared coldly at the two of them, then slammed his hands down.
The flames between heaven and earth roared down at an astonishing speed, and in a short instant, all the endless flames that filled the sky were plunged into the dazzling ball of light.
"Good timing!"
Xiao Ning laughed loudly, his body swayed, and he grew taller in the wind, instantly becoming a towering giant hundreds of feet tall, almost crashing into the top of the hall.
At this moment, the swelling body brought immeasurable power. Xiao Ning felt that he could shatter the sky with a single punch and sink the continent with a single blow.
He grinned maliciously and threw a punch.
"die!"
A fist the size of a mountain slammed down towards Di Dan, and with that single punch, the light in the world dimmed.
Holy crap!
Seeing this, Zhu Kun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Sensing the immense power, he quickly retreated.
"boom!"
The fist slammed into the dazzling ball of light emitted by the Emperor Pill, producing a deafening roar. Then, with a "pop!" sound, like a soap bubble, the ball of light burst instantly, turning into energy that dissipated into the air.
"No...impossible..."
This sudden turn of events was unacceptable to the young Emperor-grade cultivator, and the look of terror on his face intensified.
However, before he could calm down, the towering man in front of him, as imposing as a mountain, threw another punch.
The next moment, the void above the head of the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator began to tremble inexplicably. He felt as if the space around him had solidified, and then everything went dark before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
Zhu Kun only saw that his new master punched down the head of the arrogant and domineering Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, who was unable to withstand the attack.
"ah!"
As the fist landed, wisps of white smoke escaped from the body of the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, and a shrill scream suddenly rang out.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
The form of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill began to shrink, showing a tendency to transform into a medicinal pill.
The Emperor-grade nascent pill let out a shrill scream and finally transformed back into a crystal-clear, exquisite pill.
As the light shimmered, a soft radiance rippled outwards. Amidst the ripples, the soft light suddenly shrank inwards, transforming into a round pill that hovered uncertainly in mid-air.
Instantly, the fragrance of medicine filled the air, permeating the space.
Smelling the medicinal fragrance, Zhu Kun only took two deep breaths before realizing that the battle qi within his body, which had previously reached a bottleneck, had become active again, showing a tendency to break through.
Noticing the changes in his body, he was overjoyed. It truly lived up to its reputation as an imperial-grade elixir!
Before Zhu Kun could continue drooling, Xiao Ning reached out and the pill fell steadily into his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he put it away.
Zhu Kun couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he desperately wanted to obtain this Emperor Pill, he didn't have the guts to snatch it from Xiao Ning.
Putting aside the restriction in his soul, Xiao Ning's attack just now was enough to make Zhu Kun completely despair.
To be honest, Zhu Kun didn't know that this Emperor-grade nascent pill, though seemingly powerful, was actually nothing more than a facade.
He was able to fight Zhu Kun to the death and even gain the upper hand because of the terrifying energy within his Emperor Core. He hadn't learned any corresponding fighting techniques; he possessed the strength of a Dou Di but didn't know how to use it—a complete fool.
Unaware of Di Dan's true nature, Zhu Kun felt intimidated and was immediately weakened in terms of momentum. He was tricked by Di Dan and suppressed for a thousand years.
Xiao Ning, however, already knew how to deal with it from the original work: to use skill to overcome force, to use one method to defeat all methods, and to bring it back to its original form.
Seemingly sensing Zhu Kun's thoughts, Xiao Ning said calmly, "Even if you were given this Emperor Pill, your chances of becoming a Dou Di would only be two or three out of ten. It would be better to leave this Emperor Pill to one of my younger brothers. With his talent, he has a 100% chance of stepping into the Emperor Realm."
"At that time, he will guide you to the Origin Emperor Qi. With your nearly ten thousand years of accumulation, you should be able to directly advance to the Dou Di Realm."
Unless he's out of his mind, Xiao Ning would never give this Emperor Pill to Zhu Kun, since his chances of becoming an Emperor are very slim, and giving it to him would just be a waste of an Emperor Pill.
Besides, given that old mudfish's temperament, Emperor Cheng might turn on him. Xiao Ning didn't want to cause any trouble and get himself into a mess, putting in effort for nothing.
Zhu Kun opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice, "If I may be so bold as to ask, who is this 'little brother' that you're referring to, young master?"
He wanted to struggle a little more.
"You'll see when the time comes. In less than fifty years, Little Yanzi will definitely become a Dou Di!"
Xiao Ning thought for a moment, then said nothing more.
Otherwise, how should we put it? Should we tell him that Xiao Yan, at seventeen years old, already has the Dou Qi cultivation of a two-star Great Dou Master?
Stop joking, aren't you ashamed as you think?
Xiao Yan's achievements might be considered quite good in the Jia Ma Empire, placing him among the geniuses, but compared to the entire Dou Qi Continent, especially to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun who has lived for nearly ten thousand years, they are somewhat lacking.
"Little Yanzi..."
Zhu Kun kept the name firmly in his heart and didn't say anything more.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
After saying something casually, Xiao Ning ignored him, turned around, and with a wave of his hand, a powerful force surged out, instantly enveloping all the strange flames at the top of the stone pillars, which were all collected like swallows returning to their nests.
