Chapter 300: Return to Martial Movement
After the leaders of the various factions left the Star Realm, only Gu Yuan remained. As Xiao Tian's father-in-law, he was naturally allowed to cultivate in the Ancient Realm. Meanwhile, Zhu Kun began absorbing the primordial Emperor Qi for his cultivation. Initially, he planned to have Xiao Tian help him refine the Emperor-tier fledgling pill, but with the primordial Emperor Qi, he could first reach the quasi-emperor level and then break through to Dou Emperor by consuming the pill.
With both of them in seclusion, Xiao Tian left the Dou Qi Continent. Now that the Dou Qi Continent was stable, he needed to address the issues with the Yimo (alien demons) in the Tianxuan Continent.
As soon as Xiao Tian exited the space gate, he sensed the chaos at the Sea of Devils, filled with countless Yimo battling the native humans and magical beasts.
"Whoosh!" Xiao Tian's figure flickered and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already above the Martial Meeting Island. Here lay the injured and unconscious Master of the Wilderness, one of the Eight Ancient Masters. The Yimo's target was none other than the still-unawakened Master of the Wilderness.
Above Martial Meeting Island, overwhelming demonic energy surged, emitting continuous piercing screams that shook one's soul. Xiao Tian's gaze pierced through the demonic clouds, spotting the countless Yimo army and the energy shield surrounding the island below.
"Die!" Xiao Tian's eyes flashed, and endless heavenly flames appeared out of thin air, transforming into a vast sea of fire that engulfed the demonic clouds below.
"Ah!" Screams of agony echoed as the demonic clouds and the Yimo army within were all burned alive by the flames.
"We are saved! We are saved!" Seeing the disappearance of the demonic clouds and the army, everyone on Martial Meeting Island cried tears of joy.
"Crack!" Suddenly, cracks appeared in the sky, and terrifying demonic energy surged out, forming a vortex in the air.
"Rustle~" The sound of footsteps emerged, and several tall demonic figures walked out from behind the vortex. As these demonic figures appeared, the vitality of heaven and earth seemed to be stimulated, boiling up.
These six demonic figures immediately emanated endless pressure. To annihilate the Master of the Wilderness, the Yimo had dispatched six Yimo Kings, including one Supreme King and five True Kings, all with power at or above the second Reincarnation Tribulation.
However, upon their appearance, they ignored Martial Meeting Island and turned their attention to Xiao Tian. The leading Yimo King coldly asked, "Who are you to dare to kill my Yimo army?"
Xiao Tian replied, "I am Emperor Xiao Tian!"
"You are Xiao Tian?" Hearing this, the Yimo Kings were visibly terrified. They knew Xiao Tian had inherited the Devouring Lord's legacy and had killed the Ten Kings Hall.
"Retreat!" The leading Yimo King immediately ordered. He knew very well the power of the Devouring Lord. Since Xiao Tian had inherited the Devouring Lord's legacy, he was not someone the Seventh Kings Hall could handle; it would take at least the top three Kings Halls.
"Trying to escape?" Xiao Tian sneered, saying, "Too late!" As he spoke, he looked at the Yimo Kings, and terrifying flames appeared within them. This was the Emperor Flame that Xiao Tian condensed after becoming an emperor, possessing the abilities of all heavenly flames. The spontaneous appearance of the Fallen Heart Flame and the purifying power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame were easily executed, even stronger than the originals.
"Ah!" The six Yimo Kings were immediately reduced to nothing under the burning of the Emperor Flame.
"Gulp!" The people on Martial Meeting Island were shocked, seeing Xiao Tian annihilate six Yimo Kings, all comparable to those in the Reincarnation Realm, in an instant.
Xiao Tian stepped through the void, directly passing through the barrier and entering Martial Meeting Island. "We thank Senior for saving our lives!" everyone greeted.
Ignoring them, Xiao Tian looked at the three sisters, Gu Yan, Gu Ya, and Gu Yao, and smiled, "You're here too!"
Gu Ya cheerfully said, "Brother Xiao Tian, you are amazing!"
"Haha! They were too weak!" Xiao Tian chatted with the three for a bit and then said, "Alright, I'm off to meet some old friends. You can find me at Dao Sect in the future."
With that, he stepped into the Desolate Tower. Watching Xiao Tian disappear, everyone present looked at the three sisters with newfound respect. Forming a connection with such a powerful figure was not something they could afford to offend.
...
On the eighth floor of the Desolate Tower, a vast ocean of purple-gold energy stretched out. Years ago, Xiao Tian needed the desolate power here for cultivation, but now it was beneath him. He looked ahead and saw a thousand-foot-tall giant in the center of the purple-gold glow. This giant, with rough, purple-gold skin, emitted an aura not weaker than the pinnacle of a Nine-Star Dou Saint.
This was the Master of the Wilderness, the most physically powerful person of the Eight Ancient Clans. Of course, that was in the past; now, Xiao Tian held that title. Despite the Master's towering size, his aura forced him to his knees before Xiao Tian.
The Master of the Wilderness widened his eyes in shock, "You...you've broken through to the Ancestral Realm?"
Years ago, he sensed Xiao Tian's presence through the Ancestral Stone. Back then, Xiao Tian was insignificant. Now, within a few years, he had reached the same level as his master.
"Master of the Wilderness, long time no see!" Xiao Tian smiled, raising his hand. A green flame appeared on the Master's body, not harming him but filling him with vitality. Under this flame, the Master's injuries healed instantly.
"Thank you," the Master said, looking conflicted.
Xiao Tian withdrew the flame, waving his hand, "I absorbed some of your energy for my cultivation back then; consider us even now."
"Whoosh!" A white light appeared, and Yan's figure emerged. Yan told the Master, "The Master of the Wilderness, Xiao Tian is the current wielder of the Ancestral Talismans. From now on, join us."
The Master knew what Yan meant. Following Xiao Tian meant opposing the other ancient masters, something he didn't want. The Master shook his head, "Though you helped me, I still need to find my junior sister!"
"Hahaha!" Yan laughed, "Even if you find the Ice Master, the result will be the same, as she and Xiao Tian are lovers!"
"What? My junior sister has a lover?" The Master was stunned, unable to imagine the icy junior sister falling in love.
In the end, he nodded, "Since that's the case, I will join you."
He trusted that Yan and Xiao Tian wouldn't lie to him.
