490: The body of Doudi spontaneously ignites, and Emperor Huntian falls

The Strange Fire Eternal Ruler floated up from the Alien Flame Plaza and landed in front of Xiao Xuan.

Lin Xiu’s voice still lingered in his ears.

Xiao Xuan’s heart pounded violently. Without any hesitation, he reached out and grasped the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler.

The anticipated scorching heat did not appear.

The ruler felt more like ancient jade, hard and substantial.

Soul Emperor’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably when he saw this scene.

Could it be that Lin Xiu was truly his nemesis?

He wasn't even here, yet he could still conjure such a weapon. How hateful!

As if sensing something, Soul Emperor focused his gaze and saw Xiao Xuan curl his lips into a sneer, looking at him.

“Prepare to die, Soul Emperor!”

Xiao Xuan charged out fiercely.

Whoosh!

A red light flashed in the sky, and the Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer shot towards Xiao Xuan’s head.

If this were before, Xiao Xuan’s first reaction would definitely have been to dodge.

Because the Blood Blade was incredibly sharp and maintained by the energy of the grand formation, he simply couldn't withstand it.

But now, Xiao Xuan looked at the Blood Blade, swung the ancient fire ruler in his hand, and directly chopped down.

Clang!

A terrifying energy storm erupted from the point of collision, raging in all directions.

Sand and stones flew across the ground.

The Alien Flame Plaza directly crashed to the ground, creating a hundred-thousand-mile-wide abyss.

“Ah!”

Some onlookers, who had thought it would be safer tens of thousands of miles away, were swept away by the overwhelming storm before they could even react.

Gu Yuan and the others quickly activated their Dou Qi defenses.

They looked up and saw Xiao Xuan and Soul Emperor still fighting. The blood-jade-like blade was unknowingly covered in cracks.

Crack, crack!

When Xiao Xuan once again struck the Blood Blade with the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler, the Blood Blade could no longer hold on and shattered into countless fragments.

Xiao Xuan pressed his advantage, continuously striking Soul Emperor. Each time the ruler landed on him, it would cause Soul Emperor’s Dou Di Body’s energy to dissipate.

In the blink of an eye, the tide of attack and defense shifted between the two.

“That was close. Thankfully, Lin Xiu sent the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler in time, otherwise, Brother Xiao would truly have no good way to deal with the Blood Blade.”

Gu Yuan remarked with emotion.

At the Dou Di Realm, if it were just a clash of Fighting Skills, it might take several months for a result to emerge.

But with the addition of special items, this situation could be rewritten.

For example, the terrifying Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer from before, or the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler now.

These were all capable of causing immense damage to a Dou Di.

“How did Lin Xiu know about the existence of the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler? And what exactly is he doing? Why hasn't he appeared yet?”

Yan Jin’s brows were tightly furrowed, his tone filled with curiosity.

“He must have something more important to do. However, now that he’s sent the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t appear. Xiao Xuan will be able to finish off Soul Emperor in no time.”

Lei Ying shook his head.

The most critical moment had passed.

“Xiao Xuan, spare my life. There are still external enemies on the continent. I can help you all deal with him. That person is very strong, from the Upper Realm. One more person means one more strength.”

Soul Emperor panicked as he noticed his condition worsening and the expected help did not arrive.

Breaking through to Dou Di was not easy, and Soul Emperor did not want to die in such a muddled way before enjoying a few years of good life.

“No need. Your death is the greatest help to the Dou Qi Continent.”

Xiao Xuan was unmoved.

“Are you going to exterminate me?!”

Soul Emperor roared, his voice filled with unwillingness and fury.

“If you have any tricks, use them quickly, or you won’t have the chance.”

As Xiao Xuan spoke, another strike fell.

Since the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler could be brought out, Xiao Xuan didn’t believe Lin Xiu wouldn’t know about the outsider.

If that was the case, Lin Xiu was having him slay the Emperor and destroy Soul Emperor, clearly not intending to use Soul Emperor’s power.

Therefore, no matter what Soul Emperor said, Xiao Xuan would not show mercy.

“Alright, Xiao Xuan, if you won’t give me a way out, then don’t expect to have it easy either!”

Soul Emperor growled, “Self-immolate my Dou Di Body!”

The moment his voice fell, a flame suddenly surged from within Soul Emperor’s body, and he was immediately enveloped in fire.

The Dou Di Body was one of the foundations of a Dou Di.

Once the Dou Di Body was self-immolated, it was essentially a desperate gamble, because it was not easy to Cultivate this. After self-immolation, it might take hundreds of years to recover, if at all.

It was even possible that one might never succeed in Cultivating again.

This was a huge price.

Xiao Xuan actively widened the distance, not wanting to be tainted by the flames on Soul Emperor’s body.

He quickened the speed of his swings with the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler, trying to resolve Soul Emperor faster, or perhaps to extinguish the flames on him.

“Burn with me!”

Soul Emperor’s face twisted into a sinister grin, his lips splitting open as flames gushed from his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears.

This time, he no longer defended, charging straight at Xiao Xuan, seemingly wanting to embrace Xiao Xuan and ignite Xiao Xuan’s Dou Di Body with his own flames.

Xiao Xuan’s expression subtly changed, “I must not let Soul Emperor succeed. He is a dying man; I am not. Moreover, Senior Zhu Kun’s situation is unclear; perhaps he is still awaiting my support.”

Whoosh, whoosh!

The flames burned fiercely, and Soul Emperor’s Dou Di Body was rapidly shrinking, gradually falling from its immense size.

And Soul Emperor’s speed also increased, becoming more agile, nearly breaking through the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler’s blockade several times.

“You self-destructed and injured me once back then. This time, I’ll burn you back!”

Soul Emperor was completely insane. Trapped in a mortal situation, he was even more terrifying than before.

The main reasons for this were Soul Emperor abandoning defense and attacking Xiao Xuan comprehensively.

The other reason was the flames on his body.

Buzz!

Suddenly, it was as if a gentle breeze swept across heaven and earth, and everyone felt a surge of vitality.

Soul Emperor’s figure abruptly stopped, frozen in the Void Realm, unable to move.

“What’s going on?”

He was stunned, struggling desperately, but even with the surging flames, he couldn't move an inch.

Moreover, the flames faintly showed signs of extinguishing.

Soul Emperor’s consciousness immediately cleared. He examined himself and then felt horrified.

Because the flames were not extinguishing; instead, they were being forcibly compressed back into his body by a force.

The flames were still burning, but this time, from the inside out!

“I’m being suppressed. This feeling… Lin Xiu, it must be you playing tricks! Come out, get out here!”

Soul Emperor roared loudly.

Hatred!

Such hatred!

His thousand-year plan, all ruined by a young man.

Now that his death was imminent, Soul Emperor only wanted to see Lin Xiu one more time, to engrave his face deep into his Soul, a memory he wouldn't let fade even through ten thousand cycles of Reincarnation.

“Lin Xiu made a move again?”

Xiao Xuan noticed this change, his gaze sweeping around in surprise. His Emperor Realm Soul Power spread out tens of thousands of miles, yet he couldn't find any trace of Lin Xiu.

Unbelievable!

They were both on the Dou Qi Continent, yet Lin Xiu’s Realm could be so much higher than a Dou Di’s?

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Xiao Xuan unleashed his full power and finally killed the immobilized Soul Emperor.

With that, Soul Emperor’s life officially came to an end.

All his plans also came to a complete halt.

“Go help Zhu Kun.”

Lin Xiu’s voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Xuan’s ear, and a passage quietly appeared before him.
