Chapter 95: Ninety-Fifth: Dominance!
"What—"
"A seventh-tier Magical Beast?"
"The ruler of the Magical Beast Mountain Range has broken through to the seventh-tier?"
The five elders behind Xie Shan were instantly horrified upon hearing this, looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King's massive body with uncertainty.
Two of the five were Dou Emperors, and three were peak Dou Kings, so they deeply understood the difficulty of such a breakthrough.
Moreover, it was a Magical Beast; due to its bloodline, it was even harder for it to break through its bloodline limit, which is why they knew how incredible it was.
"Hmph—, I am what I am today thanks to my master's help.
Xie Shan, tell Xie Bi Yan to come out, otherwise… today, I will flatten your Myriad Scorpion Gate!"
Regarding the varying expressions of the several people, the Amethyst Winged Lion King disdainfully swept a glance over them, raised its neck, and spoke arrogantly.
As its voice fell, a powerful aura burst forth simultaneously from both beasts, pressing down on Xie Shan and the others.
"There's another seventh-tier Magical Beast!!!"
Seeing the sudden burst of aura from the opponent, and that the other Amethyst Winged Lion King was also seventh-tier, Xie Shan's face changed.
Profound Dou Qi surged out from his body, and the five Dou Emperor and Dou Wang experts behind him also roared in unison, placing their palms on Xie Shan's shoulders, their internal Dou Qi pouring in like a tide.
Receiving such a massive infusion of Dou Qi, Xie Shan's face flushed considerably.
With a thought, the immense Dou Qi began to freely unleash, fiercely colliding with the Dou Qi released by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Boom—"
After a deafening explosion, Xie Shan and the others, ultimately lacking sustained power, let out a muffled groan and were forced back dozens of feet.
"Since Xie Bi Yan isn't coming out, then your Myriad Scorpion Gate doesn't need to exist!"
Seemingly fearing Yun Yi's impatience, after one strike, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes suddenly turned cold, purple flames swirling around it, its aura becoming even more violent.
"Purple Crystal Flowing Fire Slash!"
With a furious roar, suddenly, the purple flames around the Amethyst Winged Lion King surged towards Xie Shan and the others, covering the sky.
Mid-flight, the flames abruptly merged, forming a purple flame slash.
The terrifying high temperature even left countless visible traces directly in the sky.
Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's formidable attack, Xie Shan and the others' faces also changed.
Dou Zong experts were indeed not something they could contend with.
The terrifying high temperature contained within these purple flames was probably enough to burn a Dou Wang to ashes.
"How dare you—"
Just as the purple flame slash was about to reach within ten feet of them, a deep roar came, and an aged figure mysteriously appeared in mid-air.
He fiercely stomped his staff into the void, and vast Dou Qi surged out from his body, finally forming a light screen that enveloped the space of about ten feet in front of him.
"Boom—"
The purple flame slash swept over, finally smashing fiercely onto the light screen.
The light screen also rippled, but it stubbornly stood firm, showing no signs of dissipating.
The old man wore ordinary clothes, his aged face expressionless, but his cloudy eyes held a chilling glint.
In his hand, he leaned on a pitch-black staff, which had a particularly ferocious scorpion head on it.
On the scorpion head's forehead, faint, almost imperceptible purple lights flickered.
Seeing the newcomer, the people of the Myriad Scorpion Gate all hastily bowed respectfully, while also secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Their backbone had arrived; they no longer had to face a Dou Zong with trepidation.
"Two mere beasts dare to run wild in my Myriad Scorpion Gate.
Tell the person behind you to come out; stop playing tricks!"
Xie Bi Yan's cloudy eyes swept over the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Feeling that the opponent's internal Dou Qi was only equivalent to a one or two-star Dou Zong, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said coldly.
"You want to see my master, but you're still…" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was instantly enraged by Xie Bi Yan's disdain.
"Purple Crystal!" At this moment, a cold voice came out, as if carrying a strange power that made everyone present feel a sense of calm.
This state made Xie Bi Yan's heart suddenly skip a beat.
To achieve such a level merely by voice indicated the newcomer's profound soul cultivation.
This time, it seemed a truly formidable opponent had arrived.
Under everyone's gaze, a slender hand lifted the carriage curtain, and Yun Yi slowly stepped out.
However, his appearance made everyone present stunned in surprise.
He was too young.
Even if he looked eighteen or nineteen, his vibrant youthful energy still indicated his 'tender' age.
"Young Master!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at Jiang Yun, lowering its massive head, its eyes revealing an unprecedented fervor.
That gaze suggested that even if Yun Yi ordered the two beasts to die the next second, they would do so without hesitation.
In their perception, from the moment they left the Magical Beast Mountain Range, their lives no longer belonged to themselves.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Fire Slave; it wouldn't make you completely lose your mind; you were still you, but in your perception, you gained a master for whom you would give everything.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's demeanor made Xie Bi Yan's pupils sharply contract, completely dispelling the fantasies in his heart.
The newcomer truly came from an unknown major power.
To be able to use a seventh-tier Magical Beast as a mount, his background was unimaginable.
If…
"Xie Bi Yan!" At this moment, Yun Yi's gaze turned to Xie Bi Yan, and he said in a calm tone, "From today onwards, will the Myriad Scorpion Gate work for me?"
As the young man's domineering voice echoed in everyone's ears, the other party immediately got straight to the point, his tone unusually calm, as if stating something self-evident.
At this moment, the people of the Myriad Scorpion Gate looked up, and were instantly dumbfounded.
They saw, above the sky, in front of the pitch-black war chariot, the white-robed figure overlooking all directions, slowly speaking.
Two majestic and formidable Magical Beast rulers lay prostrate on his sides.
At this moment, he radiated a divine glow, like a deity, noble and extraordinary.
Sunlight fell, reflecting on his face, making him appear heroic and handsome.
Even the well-informed Xie Bi Yan was stunned by Yun Yi's gaze at this moment.
"…"
Receiving no response for a long time, Yun Yi slightly frowned, his indifferent and profound gaze sweeping over.
"Roar—"
In an instant, dragon roars resounded in all directions.
Behind Yun Yi, black mist swirled, within which was a winding giant shadow—a pitch-black Demonic Dragon, its body emanating deep, eerie black flames, obscuring the sky and filling everyone present with terror.
"My heavens, what is that?"
"It's a dragon—there's a True Dragon in that black mist—"
"There are dragons in the Northwest Continent, how terrifying!"
In an instant, exclamations of shock resounded, people were incredibly shaken.
Besides the Amethyst Winged Lion King, there was actually another trump card.
Whose young master was this traveling?
"Surrender—"
"Or die—"
The next moment, Yun Yi's indifferent voice came, and at the same time, he exuded an aura like a bottomless abyss, pressing down on Xie Bi Yan.
"Mmmph—"
A muffled groan sounded as Xie Bi Yan, forced by Yun Yi's aura, retreated several steps.
"How is that possible—"
But Xie Bi Yan had no time to tend to his internal injuries at this moment; instead, he looked at Yun Yi in horror.
If others didn't see it, how could he not?
That wasn't another Magical Beast at all; that was something Yun Yi had condensed.
And that's what shocked Xie Bi Yan even more—how old was Yun Yi?!
He probably wasn't even a fraction of his age, yet he had already reached the same realm as him.
How could he accept this calmly?
"If you don't surrender, then die!"
Receiving no response for a long time, Yun Yi was a man of few words but decisive action.
He clenched his five fingers into a fist, and violent air currents swept and roared, tearing at the surroundings, extending into large white waves.
"Rumble—"
The terrifying fist wind tore open the surrounding sky.
The Demonic Dragon behind him vibrated, its tail flicking, bringing forth a towering sea of fire, sweeping towards Xie Bi Yan.
"Not good!"
Feeling the terrifying aura, Xie Bi Yan's expression changed drastically.
His body trembled, and he fiercely swung his staff.
Five foul-smelling poisonous rays shot out from the scorpion head's mouth on the staff.
In mid-air, they merged into an even larger poisonous python, shooting towards the Demonic Dragon.
Boom—
Fierce energy violently collided in the void, emitting bursts of sizzling sounds, and a faint mist also rose.
"Soul's Funeral!"
Since the fight had begun, the opponent would face Yun Yi's storm-like attacks.
Yun Yi condensed Dou Qi in his hand, and a strange rune appeared.
As the Dou Qi gathered, the rune instantly became extremely crimson, and then, as if it instantly came alive, the crimson rune leaped into the void and disappeared.
"Boom!"
A pitch-black energy vortex, a hundred feet in size, abruptly burst out of the void.
As it rapidly rotated, it even gave the illusion that space itself was being drawn into it.
And above the pitch-black energy vortex, tens of thousands of hideous soul bodies were entwined, constantly wailing and moaning to the outside world.
In an instant, the entire sky was filled with chilling winds.
If one looked at the pitch-black vortex for too long, there was even a sensation that one's entire soul would be sucked into it.
"Wuwuwu!"
The pitch-black vortex, carrying eerie, sinister wails, surged towards Xie Bi Yan with a terrifying momentum that seemed to crush all things.
"Blood Soul Art!"
Watching the incoming attack, Xie Bi Yan's expression changed drastically.
He roared, fiercely stomped his staff into the void, and his clothes burst open.
A blood-colored giant scorpion tattoo on his body wriggled like a living creature.
As Xie Bi Yan's hand seals changed, the Blood Demon Scorpion Emperor tattoo slowly drilled into his body.
Xie Bi Yan also underwent a huge transformation, his hands grotesquely twisted into two blood-colored giant pincers.
Soon after, he transformed into a half-human, half-scorpion monster, covered in blood, with a violent, murderous aura soaring into the sky.
"This old man doesn't care where you come from or who is behind you.
Since you want this old man's life, then today, I will make you the first sacrifices after my Blood Soul Art reaches completion!"
At this moment, his strength had surged to five-star Dou Zong, and due to his cultivation method, he had become somewhat agitated.
His eyes crimson, he stared at Yun Yi and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
With a surging, heaven-shaking violent aura, he brandished his blood-colored giant pincers and shot towards Yun Yi.
"Great Blazing Flame Palm!"
Looking at the approaching Xie Bi Yan, and feeling the aura comparable to a five-star Dou Zong, Yun Yi's face was expressionless, showing no trace of worry.
He unhurriedly extended his right palm and pressed down forcefully towards Xie Bi Yan.
Buzz buzz buzz!
High in the sky, the black fire dragon roared, then rapidly twisted, transforming into a black flame giant hand a hundred feet in size.
Following Yun Yi's hand movement, it slammed down fiercely towards Xie Bi Yan below.
"Damn it—"
"How can you be so strong!"
At this moment, Xie Bi Yan, directly facing the flame handprint, felt a tumultuous storm brewing within him.
He never imagined that the newcomer, so young, would possess such high cultivation, terrifying strength, and even Dou Techniques.
Without time to think further, the suddenly approaching terrifying energy pressure was right before his eyes.
Xie Bi Yan's expression changed several times.
He gestured with his hand, fiercely pushing Xie Shan and the others behind him towards the handprint.
"Old Ancestor—"
Before they could even scream, the several Dou Emperors and Dou Kings met their demise.
Looking at the flame giant hand that met no resistance, Xie Bi Yan's face changed drastically.
He rapidly moved his hands, and in less than a few breaths, all his Dou Qi condensed into a pitch-black energy ball the size of a head.
As the black ball appeared, Xie Bi Yan's aura also suddenly weakened considerably.
Then, he fiercely gritted his teeth, flicked his finger, and the black ball suddenly shot out, and moments later…
It fiercely collided with the flashing flame giant hand.
"Boom—"
Two streams of terrifying energy, both containing power that even Dou Zong experts would be moved by, violently collided.
However, the expected stalemate did not occur.
The pitch-black handprint, like a bottomless black hole, rapidly and continuously ground away the black ball.
In Xie Bi Yan's disbelieving eyes, in less than a few breaths, the black ball was extinguished beneath the black flame giant hand, which then, with an unstoppable momentum, descended towards Xie Bi Yan.
"No—"
At this moment, Xie Bi Yan, with only a tenth of his Dou Qi remaining, had no means of resistance against the descending handprint.
After letting out an unwilling roar…
With a "bang—", the pitch-black giant hand instantly incinerated Xie Bi Yan's physical body and soul into nothingness, finally leaving a thousand-foot-sized handprint on the ground before dissipating.
Everything vanished like smoke!
Only then did the disciples of the Myriad Scorpion Gate react, looking at each other in a daze.
"The Sect Master is dead!"
"It seems the Old Sect Master is also dead!"
"What do we do now?"
"…"
"Kill them all!" After dealing with Xie Bi Yan, Yun Yi indifferently turned and returned to the war chariot, his calm yet murderous voice echoing, causing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression to stiffen.
"Roar—" Accompanied by two loud roars, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, like a 'tiger entering a flock of sheep,' began slaughtering the remaining disciples of the Myriad Scorpion Gate.
The purple sea of fire scorched the entire mountain range.
With two seventh-tier Magical Beasts attacking, and all the sect's high-level experts having fallen, the remaining people of the Myriad Scorpion Gate had no power to resist.
Only slaughter awaited them.
Soon after, looking at the several storage rings placed on the table, which were the spoils of the Myriad Scorpion Gate, Yun Yi indifferently looked at the additional souls in his soul pouch.
"The Myriad Scorpion Gate is still too small, Purple Crystal, let's go to the Heavenly Serpent Empire!"
