Even Yun Yun wore an exasperated expression. Clearly Queen dusa was the one fighting, yet he was stealing all the spotlight.
At this mont, Xiao Yan decided to take his arrogance to the extre. He waved his hand dramatically, and the Green Lotus Core Fla whooshed forth, laying down a path of Heavenly Fla beneath his feet. This fiery path extended from the head of the Serene Sea Scaly Beast, dozens of ters high, all the way to the ground. Walking on such a path of Heavenly Fla made him appear awe-inspiring from every angle.
When Heavenly Fla appears, all flas submit. And he stood proudly atop the Heavenly Fla!
Xiao Yan wore splendid brocade robes. Endless tongues of Green Lotus Core Fla curled toward the sky from both sides. The temperature across the entire Sky Serpent Mansion rose sharply the instant the Heavenly Fla appeared. He walked forward step by step, as if he were the lord of all flas, capable of boiling seas and burning mountains.
He was the Emperor of Flas at this mont. The Heavenly Fla beneath his feet even manifested strange phenona, making him appear even more mighty and domineering.
Many people in the Sky Serpent Mansion couldn't help but tremble slightly. Even experts who had reached the Dou Ancestor realm felt their hearts palpitate. As for those Dou Kings and Dou Emperors, there was no need to ntion them. They all wanted to cry out, 'We pay our respects to Alliance Leader Yan!'
dusa and Yun Yun, who had no interest in showing off, had already taken their seats early. Only people like Little Princess Yue Er and Zi Yan excitedly followed behind Xiao Yan, their noses nearly pointing to the sky. This feeling of being looked up to by everyone was indeed wonderful!
Qing Lin, as Xiao Yan's first maid, was extrely conscientious. She carried the Yan Alliance's banner and followed closely behind him.
Hai Bodong, anwhile, took out a small notebook and began jotting things down. He thought that when he reached the Dou Ancestor realm soday and could step on air, he too would make a grand appearance before everyone!
Though he didn't have a Heavenly Fla, he could still create an ice staircase descending from the sky with a wave of his hand. He would descend step by step, listening to others call him Grand Master. That would surely be satisfying!
"So, is everyone waiting for my Yan Alliance?" The Heavenly Fla stirred the mont Xiao Yan opened his mouth, as if his soldiers were cheering and shouting.
Xiao Yan's entrance was too domineering, domineering to the point of being outrageous. His appearance simply disregarded all the factions in the North-Western Region. Even the Sky Serpent Mansion during previous Great etings of Factions had never been this ostentatious.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the initiator of the Yan Alliance. He is indeed the rightful Alliance Leader. His domineering manner is not without reason." Many in the younger generation couldn't forget the scene after seeing Xiao Yan act in such a way. He instantly beca their idol.
In fact, the strongest in the Yan Alliance was dusa.
But as a reincarnator, Xiao Yan deeply understood the importance of packaging oneself.
"Hmph, brat, you're being too arrogant!" Shi Nian, the Sect Leader of the Profound Lion Sect, couldn't hold back his anger and snorted coldly as soon as Xiao Yan landed on the ground.
A massive ghostly lion figure erged behind Shi Nian, imnse beyond compare, its head touching the sky and feet planted firmly on the ground.
The Profound Lion Sect was called such precisely because of the Qi thod Shi Nian cultivated, the Profound Lion Skill, an Interdiate Di Class Qi thod!
The Profound Lion Sect's ability to occupy a position in the North-Western Region definitely ca from a solid foundation.
"Brat, although your Yan Alliance is strong, the North-Western Region isn't just your Yan Alliance alone. If you want to control the North-Western Region, I'm afraid you'll have to ask us old bones first." Ting Hao, the Sect Leader of the Thunderbolt Sect, similarly released his aura. His body faintly emitted bursts of thunder. He didn't conceal his might as a 7-star Dou Ancestor at all, as if his thunder power could shatter the earth.
These two were both 7-star Dou Ancestors, and unlike weak Dou Ancestors like the Three Mulan Elders or Gu Tong, these two cultivated Interdiate Di Class Qi thods and were battle-hardened. Their strength couldn't be underestimated.
She Tianhao, the strongest among them, rely cast a cold glance at Xiao Yan and Qing Lin without saying anything.
Xiao Yan had publicly taken Qing Lin away, which could be said to have humiliated the Sky Serpent Mansion. The Sky Serpent Mansion would definitely make a move. For She Tianhao and the Sky Serpent Mansion at this mont, whether Xiao Yan, the Yan Alliance, or dusa were strong enough no longer mattered. He had to re-establish the Sky Serpent Mansion's prestige, letting all factions in the North-Western Region know that the Sky Serpent Mansion's authority couldn't be challenged by anyone.
"Heh, rely 7-star Dou Ancestors, nothing special," Xiao Yan slowly walked toward the Yan Alliance's seating area, no longer showing off.
The Sky Serpent Mansion, Thunderbolt Sect, Profound Lion Sect, and Yan Alliance each occupied one side. Other faction forces had set up camps around the mountain range. Everyone knew this ti it was all about these four factions.
"The Yan Alliance may have dusa, but speaking of overall strength, they're far inferior to the three major factions." So of the younger generation who couldn't understand asked.
An elder beside them explained, "Don't just look at the Yan Alliance having only two Dou Ancestors. In reality, the Yan Alliance's strength is terrifying."
"See that purple-haired girl? She defeated the Three Mulan Elders who had cultivated the Three Beast Savage Skill. Also, rumor has it that the Sky Serpent Mansion's Saintess possesses the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Most importantly, there's that Xiao Yan..."
"He's not just a 7th-tier alchemist. Many people didn't notice yesterday that he single-handedly killed Gu Tong, who had Dou Ancestor strength! He must at least have the strength of one!
"Moreover, the Yan Alliance has two 8-star Dou Emperors, plus a magical beast close to 9-star Dou Emperor strength. Combined with Xiao Yan's alchemy abilities, the Yan Alliance can add three more Dou Ancestors at any ti."
Many people only realized after hearing this explanation that the Yan Alliance's apparent strength was already extrely terrifying. It was completely impossible for any faction in the North-Western Region to defeat the Yan Alliance one-on-one!
Not to ntion the Yan Alliance's enormous potential.
If one were to select the number one faction in the North-Western Region, it would undoubtedly be the Yan Alliance.
The question now was whether the Yan Alliance could make all factions in the North-Western Region submit. If they submitted, then one-on-one battles wouldn't even be discussed.
"Alright, everyone's here now. Do you want to start defending the arena from the Dou King level, or get straight to the point?" Xiao Yan sat boldly in the central position. dusa sat on his left side, Yun Yun on his right side, and Jia Xing Tian was at the far left.
After all, the Yan Alliance was a union of four factions.
dusa didn't speak. She wasn't the type who liked to talk in the first place, and she currently had her eyes closed.
People like Hai Bodong, Yun Yun, and Zi Yan with Dou Emperor cultivation had already defended the arena a few days ago. However, everyone knew that the real highlight of the Great eting of Factions lay in the battles among Dou Ancestors.
In the previous session, the Sky Serpent Mansion had tried to rely on having the most Dou Ancestors in their faction, with six Dou Ancestors taking turns defending the arena. But they still couldn't prevail in the end, and She Tianhao was defeated in the final battle, failing to achieve unification.
Ting Hao and Shi Nian both looked at She Tianhao. The Sky Serpent Mansion was, after all, the organizer of this Great eting of Factions.
But this session was different. This ti, dusa, this goddess of death, had appeared. Using a war of attrition seed pointless and might even result in her directly killing their faction's Dou Ancestors.
She Tianhao slowly opened his eyes. A fierce glint flashed through them as he stared directly at Xiao Yan. A magical beast's innate keen intuition told him that everyone present had gotten one thing wrong: they were still underestimating Xiao Yan too much.
"Let's get straight to the point." She Tianhao slowly stood up. To everyone's surprise, he actually wanted to fight first!
"Wow! She Tianhao is fighting first?!"
"Huh? Why not let the faction's Dou Ancestors go first to deplete dusa's stamina and Dou Qi? Going straight to the peak battle..."
"Has... has She Tianhao gone mad?"
Only Xiao Yan revealed a slight smile and muttered, "This She Tianhao is quite perceptive."
He shrugged and leaned back in his chair. If She Tianhao or the other two major factions had planned to start from low-star Dou Ancestors, he wouldn't have been polite and would have struck ruthlessly.
Relying on Venerable Tian Huo's Spiritual Strength and the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, his cultivation could surge from 3-star Dou Emperor to 3-star Dou Ancestor. Although this wasn't his own strength and couldn't be wielded as naturally as his own power...
As long as his opponents were below 3-star Dou Ancestor, he was confident he could kill them!
'What a pity. If my strength could truly reach 3-star Dou Ancestor, there wouldn't be so much trouble.' Xiao Yan couldn't help feeling sowhat regretful in his heart.
There was definitely a huge difference between borrowed strength and one's own strength. The use of Dou Techniques would be much worse when relying on Secret Techniques to boost strength. If Xiao Yan's strength reached 3-star Dou Ancestor naturally without relying on Secret Techniques, let alone killing those at the sa level, he would be confident in directly slaying She Tianhao.
dusa slowly opened her beautiful eyes upon hearing She Tianhao's words. When those yellow inverted-triangle snake eyes opened, everyone who saw them couldn't help but stiffen, as if petrified!
She stepped across space, as if the stars were shifting, and instantly stood in the sky above.
The arena on the ground was more of a symbolic thing. How could Dou Ancestor battles possibly be on the ground? The aning of the arena was that whoever was knocked down from the sky would lose.
A loud boom resounded as terrifying green flas surged from dusa's body!
"That's...!" She Tianhao and the others couldn't help looking at Xiao Yan. That was clearly the Green Lotus Core Fla!
Xiao Yan spread his hands with an innocent expression. "Don't look at . Queen dusa originally obtained the Green Lotus Core Fla. I'm just borrowing it for alchemy."
Xiao Yan, known as the Yan Alliance's Heavenly Fla Repository!
The sky was already shrouded by that incomparably terrifying Green Lotus Core Fla. After completely refining the Heavenly Fla Serpent Body, dusa could control the Green Lotus Core Fla even more skillfully.
Of course, this was all because Xiao Yan was willing to lend the fla. If he wasn't willing, no one could snatch a Heavenly Fla from the Fla Mantra.
Amid the endless sea of green flas stood a woman. Enveloped by the green flas, dusa possessed a peerless beauty that words could not capture, like a celestial being descending to the mortal realm.
She pointed at Ting Hao and Shi Nian below. Her beautiful eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow, but both n felt they had already been locked onto.
No words were needed. dusa had made her intention clear. She would fight all three simultaneously!!
"Is she insane? Why fight all three at once? Fighting them one by one would at least give her so hope of winning."
"No, you're too naive. You must understand that the Great eting of Factions is actually a microcosm of the major factions in the North-Western Region. If the Yan Alliance is truly determined to unify the North-Western Region, do you think faction wars would be fought one-on-one?"
"Moreover, do you think Shi Nian and Ting Hao would follow the rules? If She Tianhao can't match dusa, those two would definitely attack her together regardless of everything. She wants to completely subdue all the faction leaders in the entire North-Western Region!"
The entire mountain range buzzed with discussion. They hadn't expected that dusa could borrow fire from Xiao Yan, much less that she would directly challenge all three opponents!
Shi Nian and Ting Hao were also stunned. They indeed hadn't planned on fighting one-on-one in rotation. If the situation turned unfavorable, they wouldn't care about face and would join forces against dusa.
This had been agreed upon with She Tianhao from the beginning. Now it was the Sky Serpent Mansion, Profound Lion Sect, and Thunderbolt Sect—three major factions joining forces against the Yan Alliance!
"Good, worthy of the infamously fierce Queen dusa," Ting Hao laughed loudly, stepping on air and instantly arriving in the sky.
"Hmph, if you think you can fight three with just a Heavenly Fla's help, then you're too naive," Shi Nian couldn't help snorting coldly when he saw dusa treating him as nothing.
Only She Tianhao looked deeply at Xiao Yan, who sensed his gaze and rely smiled slightly without saying anything.
Then, She Tianhao also slowly rose into the sky. He looked at Queen dusa wrapped in the Green Lotus Core Fla with a cold expression and said, "If you're willing, I can share the Sky Serpent Mansion with you. Together, we could definitely return to the Holy Land and rule all serpent tribes across the Dou Qi Continent."
"Make your move," dusa remained unmoved, lifting her beautiful eyes with an ice-cold voice.
It was just as Xiao Yan often said. If the Yan Alliance unifies the North-Western Region, your Sky Serpent Mansion will beco part of my Snake-People Tribe's territory. Why would I need to share it with you?
"Kill!" The three hesitated no longer. Their Dou Qi erupted as they surrounded dusa from three directions and attacked.
A trendous roar resounded as wind and clouds surged. The Green Lotus Core Fla whirled about under dusa's graceful hand movents, rotating like a terrifying mass of flas as though she held the universe in her palm.
The Heavenly Fla went wild with her strike! One blow sent all three flying back!
When these four high-star Dou Ancestors clashed, it was as if heaven collapsed and earth split open. The Sky Serpent Mansion's mountain range could barely withstand it. Mountains and rivers instantly tore apart, creating howling hurricane-force winds.
The collision's energy swept in all directions. The faction experts watching from the mountain range were all shocked. Even the aftershocks were terrifying!
"Retreat!"
"Quickly get away! Everyone board the flying ships!"
After just one collision, the Dou Kings and Dou Emperors understood: this was a battle of immortals where re mortals would only suffer!
"Are they going to level the Sky Serpent Mansion? Are they trying to destroy everything?" Such a strike made the entire Sky Serpent Mansion tremble, and everyone watched in fearful awe!
"Profound Lion Roar!"
"Thunderbolt Palm!"
"Thousand Serpent Five Poison Formation!"
The three Dou Ancestors couldn't afford the slightest relaxation when facing dusa's Heavenly Fla attacks. They unleashed Di Class Dou Techniques from the start!
Though each technique was only Low Di Class, the simultaneous release of three Di Class Dou Techniques instantly set the natural energy of the entire space boiling!
These were signature techniques each had cultivated to major mastery, with terrifying and unmatched power! All attacks targeted dusa directly! The entire mountain range shook and trembled as the three Di Class Dou Techniques ca crashing down.
"Break for !" dusa held the Green Lotus Core Fla with overwhelming dominance. With the Heavenly Fla in hand, she actually channeled its power to execute Space Lock!
The three Di Class Dou Technique attacks seed to freeze in mid-air, completely unable to advance even half an inch!
Boom boom boom boom boom!!
Mighty explosions rolled across the sky. The four carried their battle higher, shaking the clouds above and making the sky tremble and the earth quake!
The three faction leaders brought out their greatest skills to suppress dusa, even activating secret thods to enhance their strength and consuming dicinal pills. They held nothing back, using every resource at their disposal.
However, dusa proved even more powerful than they had imagined. More terrifying still, with Heavenly Fla in hand and her unrivaled serpent body, the three 7-star Dou Ancestors couldn't overco her despite their combined efforts. Instead, they were gradually being suppressed, not her match at all.
"This, this... this is far too powerful." Everyone watching this scene was completely stunned.
One against three! This was genuinely one versus three! Without any pretense!
"Such dominance. Truly a rare extraordinary woman in this world!" Soone couldn't help but mutter. Seeing such a peerless woman, they were all srized.
Many had already secretly fallen for her. So young n who admired this type couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan with resentful eyes.
Because from all appearances, wasn't dusa clearly fighting for Xiao Yan's sake?
He reaped all the glory while dusa did all the fighting.
In their hearts, they cursed Xiao Yan for being shaless, yet they all wished they could be as shaless as him.
"Xiao Yan, can the pretty big sister win?" Zi Yan stood behind Xiao Yan, looking up at the battlefield in the sky as she asked softly.
Perhaps only Xiao Yan truly understood dusa's real strength.
Xiao Yan gave Zi Yan a sidelong glance. dusa had rely given her so dicinal ingredients, and she was already calling her 'pretty big sister.' anwhile, he had refined countless pills for her, provided her with dicinal ingredients, and even given her a Body Transformation Pill, yet he had never heard a kind word from her.
Not even a single thank you!
"It's hard to say. To be honest, evolution using a Heavenly Fla exists only in ancient texts, not to ntion dusa initially used the wrong Heavenly Fla."
"Yet she didn't die, and her soul even evolved successfully, though her physical body was incinerated. In the end, she actually used other Heavenly Flas to re-condense a Heavenly Fla Serpent Body. Combining the power of three Heavenly Flas is probably unprecedented on the Dou Qi continent. No one knows what her limits are now."
Xiao Yan couldn't be certain either. Despite his vast alchemy knowledge and having read nurous ancient texts from his storage ring, the problem was that this situation had never occurred before!
Clearly, using the Ten Thousand Beast Fla and the Fallen Heart Fla had given dusa additional enhancents, exceeding his expectations.
dusa's early ergence from the tower and her rapidly increasing cultivation proved that this was completely beyond his control.
"Those three aren't pushovers either," Yun Yun said quietly, her gaze fixed on the battle above.
"Mm, these three are old foxes of the North-Western Region. Having lived long lives, they undoubtedly possess nurous treasures and powerful Dou Techniques. Especially that She Tianha. With the Sky Serpent Mansion's ancient heritage, I can't believe he doesn't have so trump cards up his sleeve." Xiao Yan's expression grew serious.
In truth, he stood ready to provide support at any mont.
