"What in the world are these things!"

  Xiao Yan activated his Exploding Steps with a thunderous boom, leaping backward at extreme speed to evade the attack.

  He was somewhat astonished as he stared at the three different types of magical beasts before him. His Oe Bst had failed to kill these magical beasts with a single punch!

  If the Amethyst Winged Lion Kio know his thoughts, it would likely scoff at him. A mere Dou Master wanting to one-shot Rank 3 magical beasts? Had he lost his mind?!

  Eve came to fighting above one's realm, there were limits to how far one could push it!

  "These magical beasts are the ohat ehe Beast Tomb in search of the Ten Thousa Fme over the past three hundred years. Without exception, they all found the fme but were corrupted by its tainted energy. Their souls merged with the ghostly figures of the Beast Tomb, transf them into beast sves," the Amethyst Winged Lion King expined as it shrank its body, leaning against the wall and quietly watg Xiao Yan being attacked, showing no iion of lending a hand.

  It ractically just missing some pop to plete its role as a spectator.

  'No woheir bodies are so tough. Even my Oe Bst cultivated to perfe 't shatter their bodies.' These magical beasts had reached the location of the Ten Thousa Fme and were strengthened by it. However, in the end, they failed to i the fme and instead had their spirits erased, being sves of the fme.

  The might of the Oe Bst cultivated to a perfect mastery was parable to ary-level Di Css Dou Teique. Although Xiao Yan's cultivation level was not high, his bat strength surpassed that of an average Rank 3 magical beast.

  The explosive hidden force of the Oe Bst could instantly sy some weaker Rank 3 magical beasts.

  "Mad Lion t!" A yer of energy resembling a Dou Qi cloak enveloped his entire body. With a flick of his ste ring, the Heavy Xuan Ruler appeared in his hand.

  His palm tightly gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler as his tration intensified. Strands of Dou Qi began to flow out from the Qi cye within his body, surging through him to provide the necessary strength for battle.

  Xiao Yan seemed to transform entirely at this moment. He stood tall and imposing with the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand. The immense weight of the ruler made him as immovable as a mountain, unshakable by anything in this world.

  Roar, roar, roar!! A beast sve resembling a crocodile charged forward on all fours, its scales glinting with a cold light, as if capable of withstanding any attack.

  Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed as his Spiritual Strength surged outward. The world appeared vastly different in his enhanced perception. The chargi sve's movements seemed to slow down, and the flow of its blood vessels became distinctly visible.

  With a gentle lift, he gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler tightly with both hands and executed a simple upward ssh. There were no fancy teiques—just a straightforward, unadorned upward strike. A tremendously heavy thud resounded as the blow ected with the beast sve's jaw, ung it into the air and exposing its unarmored belly.

  In a swift transition, his right hand formed a cw simir to the Bck Tiger Steals Heart teique from his previous life and plu into the beast sve's belly. Bck fmes erupted with a whoosh, and a pierg ghostly wail emanated from within the beast sve.

  Xiao Yaracted the ghostly figure from the beast sve's body and threw it into the air. Mao eared from above and spat a ball of bck fmes that enveloped and ied the ghostly figure in a relentless manner.

  These ghostly figures were more human-like than those oskirts of the Beast Tomb. They uttered heart-wreng shrieks and dispyed a higher level of intelligence as they were burned by the Nihility Dev Fme!

  Two thunderous bo out. Xiao Yaed his Exploding Steps and surged forward in a Z-shaped pattern toward another beast sve.

  Leaping high into the air, he brought down the Xuan Heavy Ruler in a seemingly simple yet forceful strike. To say that Xiao Yan sshed downward would be inaccurate; more precisely, he pressed down with all his might using both hands.

  It was as if he was employing the full weight of his body to suppress the beast sve.

  The Heavy Xuan Ruler desded like a mountain bearing down, its immense weight augmented by the Dou Qi-driven Mad Lion t. This terrifying gravitational force pihe beast sve directly beh the ruler.

  Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength locked onto the ghostly figure within the beast sve. His five fingers pierced into its body and directly extracted the ghostly figure using bck fmes.

  Fme Splitting Tsunami!

  Xiao Yan didn't even turn his head, as his Spiritual Strength had already sehe final beast sve poung toward him. The instaurned, without a sed thought, he unleashed the Fme Splitting Tsunami!

  Bck fmes engulfed the entire Heavy Xuan Ruler.

  The energy of the world surged as Xiao Yan swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler downward. A crushed trail appeared in the cave and even the space itself exhibited minuscule cracks.

  This was the power of the Nihility Dev Fme; it had burhrough a tiny portion of the empty space!

  Such power was immeerrifying. In that fleeting instant, it seemed as though the bck fme-enveloped ruler's radiance could even cleave space itself.

  Boom, boom, boom!!! The Fme Splitting Tsunami imbued with the Nihility Dev Fme was terrifyingly powerful. The intricate and winding cave system was torn asunder. Several gaping holes were left in its wake. Not only were the ghostly figures within the beast sves annihited, but even their physical bodies, enhanced by the Ten Thousa Fme, vanished into nothingness.

  The Amethyst Winged Lion King gazed at the panting Xiao Yan in astonishment, its heart trembling with shock.

  'The power of this Dou Teique!! If not for his weak cultivation, he might have been able to cleave the entire cave open!'

  Xiao Yan tossed a 3rd-tier Grand Qi Recovery Pill into his mouth to replenish his Dou Qi. The ption from using a Di Css Dou Teique in jun with the Nihility Dev Fme was truly immense.

  However, the might it possessed was also unrivaled. Dou Grandmasters below the 7-star level would be uo withstand this strike.

  "Advanced Dou Spirit soul bodies? They are a bit different though." After rec his Dou Qi, Xiao Yan raised his head to observe the three ghostly figures being ied.

  These ghostly figures differed slightly from those outside. At the very least, they possessed higher intelligend would cry out when burned.

  Generally speaking, Dou Spirits who had not cultivated their souls could not produce soul bodies. However, due to the uure of the Beast Tomb, those strong individuals who were unwilling to die merged with rese and turned into such ghostly creatures.

  Mao Wu looked at the three ghostly figures that had been 'roasted' to perfe and opes mouth to swallow them in one gulp.

  Meow~o(=∩ω∩=)m

  It eve out a tented burp.

  'Advanced Dou Spirits are still too weak. If it could devour the ghostly figure of a Dou King, the power of the Nihility Dev Fme would rise another notch. Then, unleashing the Fme Splitting Tsunami might enable me to sy a 9-star Dou Grandmaster,' Xiao Yan silently calcuted.

  It was at this moment that Xiao Yan suddenly sensed a powerful Spiritual Perception sweeping from the cave ahead. This Spiritual Perception was extremely strong, parable to that of a 5th-tier alchemist!

  Without time to ponder, Xiao Yan swiftly withdrew the Nihility Dev Fme and pulled the hood of his Soul Robe over his head, enveloping his entire body. In an instant, he cealed himself within the shadows of a nearby cave.

  A mere sed after Xiao Yan had hidden himself, two figures appeared as if they had materialized out of thin air.

  Only when the figures emerged did Xiao Yan clearly dis them. It was an elderly man and a younger man. The young man wore a robe with the character for 'Medie (Yao)' embroidered on the chest.

  'Medie? People from the Alchemist Association? No, that's nht. I remember Sister Ya Fei saying that the Alchemist Association's robes bear a medial cauldron emblem, not characters.' Xiao Yan furrowed his brows. At that instant, he inexplicably recalled the words Hun Lao Gui had imparted to him via spiritual transmission before he departed from the Soul Sacrifice Old Shop.

  [If you need a Heavenly Fme, be wary of the Yao d the Yan , those two Dou God s. ]

  'Are these two from the Yao ? Here for the Ten Thousa Fme?!!!'

  The young man wearing the robe with the character 'Yao' gnced left and right, not putting the Amethyst Winged Lion King not far away in his eyes at all.

  "Strange, I clearly sehe fluctuations of a Heavenly Fme with my Spiritual Strength just moments ago. How has it vanished?" the young man muttered to himself, his face etched with bewilderment.

  "Yao Li, could it be that you sehe Amethyst Beast Fme of the Amethyst Winged Lion King?" The elderly man cast a sideways g the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the distance, his tone indifferent.

  Waves of spiritual fluctuations swept through the area, but regardless of how meticulously this person named Yao Li attempted to perceive, he came up empty-handed.

  "Impossible. How could a trash fme like the Amethyst Beast Fme even be mentioned in the same breath as a Heavenly Fme? I am, at the very least, a 5th-tier alchemist. I couldn't possibly it such a low-level mistake."

  Roar!! The Amethyst Winged Lion Ki loose a furious bellow: "Brat, do you have a death wish!!"

  Yao Li responded with a cold chuckle, his words tinged with mockery, "Mu Lao, why 't I prehend its utterances?"

  In an instant, an aura even more terrifying than Yun Yued from the old man's body.

  An Advanced Dou Emperor!
