Chapter 269 The inheritance begins
"It is true." Tushegudi was not too surprised by the answer. Instead, he nodded slightly.
“Senior, do you know what the reason for this is? I once heard from my ancestors that the Douqi Continent today seems to lack a certain strange energy compared to the ancient times?” Xiao Yan couldn’t help but express his curiosity and asked.
"Haha, your ancestor is quite capable. He was able to discover this."
Hearing this, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was a little surprised, then he smiled and said, "Indeed, the current Douqi Continent has lost something as time goes by. This is the key to becoming a Doudi. Otherwise, no matter how amazing your talent is, you will only stop at that abyss."
"What's missing?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked softly.
"Source." Tushegudi gently uttered a word that seemed profound and unfathomable.
"Source?" Xiao Yan was stunned.
Xiao Yan had also heard Ah Xing mention this word, but Ah Xing called it source energy, while the ancient emperor Shetuo called it source.
"In ancient times, some powerful people called this thing primordial energy. It is a strange energy born from heaven and earth. Only after absorbing the primordial energy can one successfully break through the barrier of the Dou Emperor."
Tuoshe Ancient Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Every plane of space, at the beginning of its birth, will have the birth of source energy, but the source energy cannot be regenerated. In other words, every time a point of source energy is consumed, it will disappear between heaven and earth."
"A Dou Emperor is a person who is above the heavens and the earth in this world. Every time a Dou Emperor is born, a lot of source energy will be consumed. And this kind of consumption that is not enough to cover the cost will eventually reach its end. Therefore, there will be no Dou Emperors born in the Dou Qi Continent today, because the Dou Qi Continent now has no source energy."
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. This was truly a case of the previous generations enjoying the good things while the later generations suffered. The so-called source energy was completely consumed by those ancient people, and the troubles caused by this action would have to be borne by the later generations.
"The Emperor-grade embryo pill left by the senior has been obtained by someone. If it is refined into a complete Emperor-grade pill, can I advance to the level of Dou Emperor?" After a bitter smile, Xiao Yan returned his mind to the main topic. No matter what happened in the past, what he needed to consider now was how to advance to the level of Dou Emperor.
“There is also a trace of origin energy in the Emperor Grade Young Pill. If that person can really complete the last step and advance to the Dou Emperor, it is not impossible.” Tuoshe Ancient Emperor smiled, then looked at Xiao Yan and said, “I know why you came here.”
Xiao Yan's face was solemn, and he cupped his hands and said, "I hope you can help me, Senior."
"I'm not too interested in helping you or not. You should probably know my identity." Tuoshe Ancient Emperor smiled and said, "But since you can come here, you are naturally the most suitable person to receive the inheritance. If you can complete the inheritance, you can also be promoted to the Doudi level."
"Thank you very much, senior." Xiao Yan said happily.
"Hehe." Tuoshe Ancient Emperor smiled and waved his hand. Suddenly, he pointed his palm towards Xiao Yan. A ball of pink flame suddenly rushed out of his body and finally turned into a fire baby that appeared in the former's hand. It was Xiao Yi.
“Pure Lotus Demon Fire, long time no see. I didn’t expect that the Void Devouring Flame would be swallowed by you. If you have enough source energy, you may be able to follow the path I have taken.” Tushe Ancient Emperor looked at Xiao Yi in his hand, chuckled and said.
Xiao Yi stared at Tuoshe Gudi with a cold and hateful face, but he did not say anything. There was a vague look of confusion on his face. Judging from his expression, he still could not remember clearly what happened so long ago. The only thing he knew was the complex emotion of hatred and fear towards the person in front of him.
"It seems like he still hates me."
Tuoshe Ancient Emperor didn't care about Xiao Yi's look. He turned his gaze back to Xiao Yan and said, "I have a familiar feeling in your body. If my guess is correct, you should have practiced a magical technique that can devour strange fire, right?"
Xiao Yan was startled, and then he realized that there was no secret hidden behind the eyes of the person in front of him, so he nodded silently.
"That technique is very good. It was because of it that I achieved my future success." Tushegudi said with a smile.
"So the senior is the founder of the Burning Technique?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was immediately moved. He did not expect that such a profound martial art could be created by the ancient emperor Tushe. But it was no wonder, as only a person like this could create such a magical martial art.
“Haha, you are wrong. The so-called Burning Decree you mentioned was not created by me. When I was concentrating my spiritual wisdom, I happened to encounter this volume of exercises in a daze, which caused many changes in me. Speaking of which, this volume of exercises has also helped me a lot. As for its founder, I am also very curious, but I have never seen it.” Tushegudi said with a smile.
"The word fate is hard to fathom. If we were to use a strict perspective, perhaps the two of us could barely be considered fellow disciples."
Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but his heart was extremely shocked. He did not expect that the Burning Decree had such a relationship with the Ancient Emperor Tushe. However, he just didn't know what kind of extraordinary talent could have created such a heaven-defying martial art?
"Haha, I haven't talked to anyone for many years, but today I talked a lot of nonsense."
Tushegudi flicked his fingers, and the endless and gorgeous sea of fire suddenly squirmed, and finally a fire dragon surged and condensed into a fist-sized gorgeous lotus seed in mid-air. Many flames rose from the surface of the lotus seed.
"My inheritance is all here. As for whether you can reach the level of Doudi, it depends on your luck."
Looking at the gorgeous lotus seeds floating above the sea of fire, Xiao Yan couldn't help but show excitement in his eyes. The Douqi Continent now no longer has the so-called source energy, which also means that no one will be able to advance to the Dou Emperor level.
In today's continent, there are only these two ways to advance to the Dou Di level, because only the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and the ancient emperor's inheritance contain the only two source energies in the world!
"My inheritance requires a heart like a rock. If a thought remains, it will be immortal!"
Emperor Tuoshe looked at the excited Xiao Yan, smiled faintly, and then flicked his fingers. The gorgeous flaming lotus seeds slowly fell down and finally hovered on the top of Xiao Yan's head.
"call"
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and quickly concentrated his mind. Any distracting thoughts were cleared away by him with a decisive attitude.
"Buzz!"
The flaming lotus seed emitted a strange luster, then slowly fell down, directly penetrating Xiao Yan's scalp and falling into his head.
"boom!"
The moment the flaming lotus seed entered his body, Xiao Yan's body immediately turned red. Endless energy that was so terrifying that it made people shudder spread through his body at a terrifying speed. In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Yan's meridians became swollen, and an intense tearing pain came from his meridians.
Sweat flowed out of Xiao Yan's pores like a stream. His body shrank several times in a few breaths. His originally skinny body now looked like a skinny monkey with only skin and bones. As the sweat flowed like a waterfall, Xiao Yan's face was filled with pain. The pain was so severe that his face became distorted.
Tushegudi looked at this scene with a calm expression. If he couldn't even pass this initial level, accepting the inheritance would be a joke.
In the sea of fire, Xiao Yan's body was shaking wildly. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and at this moment, they exploded into a ball of blood mist.
"boom!"
His eyes exploded, and soon after, explosions were heard from all parts of Xiao Yan's body. Then, his body was actually blown apart by the terrifying power of inheritance!
Seeing this, Tushe Ancient Emperor frowned slightly. Now is the time for the inheritance to begin. However, if Xiao Yan cannot do what he said, not only will the inheritance fail, but his body and even his soul will suffer extremely serious trauma.
"Failed?"
Xiao Yan's soul looked at the spreading blood mist. He could feel waves of weakness coming from the depths of his soul. That feeling made him feel drowsy.
But just as this impulse emerged, Xiao Yan suddenly woke up. He knew that he was now in an extremely dangerous moment. If he really fell asleep like this, even his soul would gradually dissipate between heaven and earth.
"My body is too weak to bear the power of the inheritance. But now that my body is destroyed, how can I absorb the energy?"
Xiao Yan's soul condensed into a transparent ball of light. His current situation was in a dilemma. Without a body, he could not absorb the power of inheritance, but refining a body required many tedious steps. He did not have the time to refine a body now!
“The heart is like a rock, and as long as a thought remains, it will be immortal!”
The soul light ball flickered wildly, however, at this extremely urgent moment, Xiao Yan's tension and panic subsided. In his mind, a sentence that Tushe Ancient Emperor had said before flashed through his mind, and he seemed to understand something.
When Xiao Yan had some realization in his heart, the soul light ball he transformed into suddenly flickered violently. Faintly, a brilliant light emanated from his soul. Upon closer inspection, it was actually the flaming lotus seed.
Along with the emission of these brilliant lights, the blood mist that had been spreading out suddenly and strangely shrank back, and then a magical scene appeared. The blood mist condensed rapidly and wrapped in the soul light ball. In just a few breaths of time, it condensed into a living body again!
At the same time, there was only one remaining necklace, which also emitted a brilliant afterglow in the flames.
As the necklace broke, a drop of golden blood seeped out. The energy contained in it was so great that even Emperor Sheta couldn't help but take a second look.
This drop of blood is comparable to the energy reserve of a Douluo!
As Xiao Yan's consciousness returned, Ah Xing left the final operation record in the golden blood essence, which showed how to connect to Tong Rui's Supreme Heaven and use the genetic engine in the blood.
The body condensed again, and Xiao Yan was overjoyed. He could feel that the body condensed this time was much stronger than before.
"Creating in destruction, constantly condensing new flesh to adapt to the power of inheritance. Ah Xing, thank you."
Xiao Yan's eyes flickered with a hint of excitement, but his excitement did not last long as the flaming lotus seed once again released a terrifying force that was enough to make the heavens and earth tremble.
"Oh!"
Under the impact of such power, Xiao Yan's body, which had just condensed, exploded into blood mist again, and this time, even his soul felt severe pain.
"If your heart is like a rock, it will be indestructible!"
Having already realized his mistake in his heart, Xiao Yan no longer panicked. He kept his mind focused and did not let anything disturb him.
While Xiao Yan's mind and soul were concentrating, the blood mist that had exploded began to condense again. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a new body that was even stronger than before.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of low sounds were heard in the sea of fire. Xiao Yan's body was constantly condensing and exploding over and over again, like a perfect cycle.
Looking at this scene, a smile emerged on Tushegudi's face and he nodded slightly. This boy's comprehension was quite high. No wonder he could reach this level at such an age. What was also commendable was his rock-hard tenacity and perseverance.
"It seems that my mission is coming to an end."
Tushegudi smiled gently, with a hint of relief in his tone.
During the practice, the years passed by quickly and before one knew it, a year had passed.
During this year, Xiao Yan experienced countless self-destructions and regenerations, and in this cycle, even with Xiao Yan's perseverance, his mind was already in a daze. Only his tight mind firmly guarded his soul, and a little obsession drove his body through countless self-destructions, gradually adapting to the power of inheritance!
However, that kind of hard training seemed to have no end, self-destruction and regeneration, an infinite cycle...
A year in Tianmu is just over two months in Douqi Continent.
During these two months, Zhongzhou was in extreme turmoil, but the Soul Clan finally succeeded in setting up that evil formation.
Since the formation required few people, the Soul Clan fought a guerrilla war with the Allied Forces. In the end, although the formation did not fully exert its effectiveness due to the lack of manpower required to set up the formation, it was successfully set up.
Even though Emperor Hun Tian knew that he had no hope of breaking through to the Dou Emperor, he still had to harden his heart and gather the power of the Blood Array to rival that of a Half-Emperor!
Because of the large formation set up by the Soul Clan, the entire Zhongzhou was covered, which also caused Zhongzhou to become a place of death that could be entered but not exited.
The originally blue sky is now covered by thick blood clouds. The sunlight shines through the blood clouds and onto the earth, casting a dark glow that makes people feel extremely depressed.
The smell of blood enveloped every corner of Zhongzhou. Every once in a while, numerous blood rays would shoot out from the blood cloud that permeated the entire Zhongzhou. Wherever the blood rays passed, there would be corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
This is a real disaster!
