"Looking at it now, it seems highly possible that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady has awakened. This matter must be reported to the clan leader and the elders without delay!"
Emperor Ming said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Di Shitian was thinking about the words Xuan Zhiruo had said about being number one in the world.
"Number one in the world, I will achieve it. In this world, I shall be the first, and all will bow before me!"
Di Shitian’s eyes shot forth with intense ambition and desire, his entire being emitting a terrifying aura, and his pupils burning with blazing golden flames.
In the Ancient Realm, at the Dan Sect.
In the great hall, Feng Wuya sat, while his subordinate reported on a series of recent events regarding Xiao Yifeng.
After listening to the report, Feng Wuya frowned slightly, clearly surprised by Xiao Yifeng’s recent actions.
Destroying the Three Families of the Holy City, then the Tianhai Sect, escaping from the hands of the Five Great Sects, returning from the Endless Abyss, provoking the Ancient Sect Dian Cang and the Five Elements Sect, with a group of Dominator Realm super strong individuals around him.
These incidents made Feng Wuya realize that his former disciple, whom he once looked down upon, was becoming increasingly extraordinary.
Back in the Wind Cloud Kingdom, Xiao Yifeng was merely an ant in his eyes.
Under the threat of Master Xiaoyunzi’s life, they made a ten-year pact, but Feng Wuya had never taken it seriously.
In his understanding, even a hundred or a thousand years.
In his eyes, Xiao Yifeng would always be an ant, someone he could easily crush.
But now, in less than a year’s time, Xiao Yifeng had changed so drastically.
His strength was formidable enough to contend with Life-and-Death Realm experts, and he had so many Dominator Realm experts protecting him.
This made Feng Wuya realize Xiao Yifeng’s uniqueness.
"It seems I underestimated you!"
Feng Wuya muttered to himself and then went to the place where Master Xiaoyunzi was held.
At this moment, Master Xiaoyunzi’s strength had been completely destroyed, and he sat like a cripple here, his limbs restrained by thick chains.
"Master, how have you been lately?"
Feng Wuya approached Master Xiaoyunzi and spoke.
"Why are you here again?"
Master Xiaoyunzi looked at Feng Wuya with a cold expression.
"The disciple you took in is indeed impressive. He’s now renowned in the Ancient Realm, dare to kill even the young master of an Ancient Sect, and managed to come out alive after falling into the Endless Abyss!"
Feng Wuya said indifferently.
"What? Afraid?"
Master Xiaoyunzi sneered at Feng Wuya.
"Afraid?"
Feng Wuya scoffed, coldly snorting, "I am just a bit surprised, but even so, he is not someone I need to fear. You don’t know how strong I have become, do you?"
Bang!
Feng Wuya suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura like heavenly might, pressing down on the entire room as if it was about to collapse.
Master Xiaoyunzi was further oppressed, spitting out blood, but the aura quickly receded, being withdrawn by Feng Wuya.
If not, this powerless Master Xiaoyunzi might have been crushed.
"I didn’t expect your strength to have reached such a level. No doubt you were the one I had the highest hopes for, but unfortunately, your ambition and greed are too great, destined to struggle to reach the pinnacle of the Martial Path!"
Master Xiaoyunzi said, looking at Feng Wuya.
"Hmph, whether I reach the martial arts pinnacle, you’ll know by then, but your disciple will surely die by my hand in the end."
Feng Wuya snorted coldly.
"That might not be the case!"
Master Xiaoyunzi said indifferently.
"You’d better worry about yourself. I didn’t want to use this move against you, but since you insist on not telling me what I want to know, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Feng Wuya said, his hands forming seals, and a mysterious aura surged from his whole body.
Then with a wave of his hands, a flame rushed into Master Xiaoyunzi’s mind to burn, causing Master Xiaoyunzi to emit a heartrending scream.
Feng Wuya placed his hand on Master Xiaoyunzi’s head, absorbing the soul power from his mind.
Bang!
Soon, a booming sound came from Master Xiaoyunzi’s mind as Feng Wuya completely absorbed and controlled his soul power.
With a thud, Master Xiaoyunzi fell to the ground, eyes turning empty, having lost all consciousness.
"Hmph, this is what you get for not honestly telling me everything I wanted to know!"
Feng Wuya withdrew his hand, casting a cold glance at Master Xiaoyunzi.
"So that’s how it is..."
Feng Wuya muttered after digesting all the information from Master Xiaoyunzi’s soul and turned to leave.
Soon, the room door was closed, and the whole room became extremely dark.
Meanwhile, in the mind of Master Xiaoyunzi, who was lying dead on the ground, where the soul originally resided.
Suddenly, a wisp of white flame flickered out. This white flame grew larger and eventually engulfed Master Xiaoyunzi completely.
Feng Wuya, of course, was unaware of this, as he arrived at a place of flames.
Here, there were endless flames, and the power of these flames was incredibly terrifying.
In the center of these flames, a young figure was coiled, surrounded by a mass of terrifying flames.
Meanwhile, around this young man were four cauldrons, emitting a divine and sacred aura.
Each cauldron exuded a very powerful aura, with the prestige of supreme grade divine artifacts.
It was clear that these four cauldrons were all of supreme grade divine artifact level.
Unknown how much time passed, suddenly all the flames in the place of fire surged into this young man’s body, erupting with terrible power.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
At this moment, each of the four supreme-grade divine artifact cauldrons shot out a golden elixir.
These four elixirs landed directly in the young man’s mouth, transforming into dense energy spreading throughout his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
As the four elixirs entered his body, the young man erupted with even more fearsome power, each wave of power enhancing his strength.
Eventually, the young man’s strength reached the fifth level of the Life-and-Death Realm, radiating a terrifying might!
"Not bad! Not bad!"
At this moment, Feng Wuya clapped his hands lightly, speaking.
Swoosh!
The young man opened his eyes, gleaming with brilliance, waved his hands, and the four divine cauldrons entered his body.
The terrifying flames encircling him also entered his body, and the young man stood up and approached Feng Wuya.
"Greetings, Master!"
The young man looked at Feng Wuya and said respectfully.
"Lin Huo, your strength has increased nicely!"
Feng Wuya said, looking at the young man, who was his disciple and the chief disciple of the Dan Sect, Lin Huo.
"I must thank Master for nurturing me!"
Lin Huo said.
"The battle of the Dan Tower is soon, are you confident?"
Feng Wuya asked.
