Xiao Yan’s journey in the Dou Qi Continent has been nothing short of extraordinary, and his recent breakthrough to the Dou Zun realm only adds to his ever-growing legend. But who was the first opponent Xiao Yan faced after this monumental advancement? Surprisingly, it was an eight-star Dou Zong, whom Xiao Yan effortlessly crushed with a single blow. Even with three Dou Zun powerhouses present, no one dared to challenge him. This display of sheer strength left everyone speechless and solidified Xiao Yan’s position as a true force to be reckoned with.
After reaching the Dou Zun level, Xiao Yan’s strength skyrocketed. In his own words, even if he were to face the formidable Old Ghost Zhai Xing again, he would no longer fear him. During the fierce battle in the Soul Palace, Xiao Yan unleashed his signature move, the devastating Fire Lotus, which had the power to cause widespread destruction. Although Xiao Yan was caught in the explosion’s aftermath, causing his meridians to rupture and leaving him unconscious, his journey was far from over.
The Healing Power of the Undying Star Flame
Fortunately for Xiao Yan, he possessed the undying Star Flame, which played a critical role in his recovery. To expedite his healing, Feng Zun decided to take him back to the Falling Star Pavilion, where the power of meteorite energy would help him recuperate. What no one expected was that Xiao Yan would not only recover but also ascend to the Dou Zun level after a deep slumber. His remarkable ability to transcend boundaries has earned him the title of the most exceptional talent on the Dou Qi Continent. With just a single rest, he made the leap from Dou Zong to Dou Zun.
Upon awakening, Xiao Yan learned from Feng Zun that Yao Chen, his teacher, had lost a significant portion of his soul essence while imprisoned in the Soul Palace. To fully restore Yao Chen’s strength, they needed to replenish the lost soul essence. According to ancient texts, two rare treasures could accomplish this: the Soul Baby Fruit and the Spiritual Dragon Heaven Grass.
The Mission to Recover the Soul Baby Fruit
As fate would have it, rumors circulated that an ancient relic in the Beast Territory contained a Soul Baby Fruit. Determined to restore Yao Chen’s power, Xiao Yan set out on a dangerous quest to retrieve it. Knowing that the Beast Territory was fraught with danger, Feng Zun arranged for Mu Qing Luan to accompany him. As a member of the Qing Luan Clan, Mu Qing Luan’s presence would prove valuable in navigating the challenges of the Beast Territory.
However, trouble began the moment they entered the Beast Territory. Two elders from the Falling Star Pavilion had been assaulted, one seriously injured. Xiao Yan, enraged by the audacity of the attackers, immediately demanded to know who dared to lay hands on the elders. The response was shocking: the assailant was none other than Fei Tian, the master of the Northern Pavilion of Wind and Thunder.
Fei Tian’s Past Grudge with Xiao Yan
Fei Tian’s name brought a flood of memories to Xiao Yan. Years ago, when Xiao Yan had first arrived in Central Plains, Fei Tian had relentlessly pursued him, after Xiao Yan had killed a notorious figure to repay Han Xue for saving his life. The enmity between them grew after Xiao Yan took down Elder Shen Yun. Fei Tian, enraged by the death of his subordinate, personally hunted Xiao Yan down. At that time, Fei Tian’s eight-star Dou Zong strength far surpassed Xiao Yan’s, forcing him to retreat. But now, the tables had turned.
Xiao Yan, now a Dou Zun, no longer saw Fei Tian as a threat. He brazenly declared, “Let’s go and settle this once and for all.” With a group of followers, he marched straight to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
Xiao Yan’s Dominance Over Fei Tian and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion
As they reached the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, a lowly Dou Huang stepped forward to block their way but was swiftly obliterated by Xiao Yan’s overwhelming power. Hearing the commotion, Fei Tian emerged, barking orders and threatening anyone who dared to challenge him. He boasted about the power of his pavilion, but his arrogance quickly faded when he saw Xiao Yan standing before him.
Two years had passed since their last encounter, but Fei Tian’s hatred for Xiao Yan had not diminished. He charged at Xiao Yan, vowing to settle the old score. However, this time, Xiao Yan did not retreat. Calmly, Xiao Yan raised his hand and crushed the space in front of him. In an instant, Fei Tian’s chest caved in under the immense pressure, and he coughed up blood as his body was pinned by the force of the collapsing space.
Fei Tian, once a formidable eight-star Dou Zong, could not withstand even a single move from Xiao Yan. The sheer power and mastery of space manipulation left everyone in shock. Even the seasoned Dou Zuns present, including Lei Zun and two powerful beast clan leaders, did not dare to make a move against Xiao Yan.
The Arrival of Xiao Yan’s Allies and Fei Tian’s Humiliation
Just as Lei Zun and the others were about to intervene, three powerful Dou Zuns appeared behind Xiao Yan: Xiao Yi Xian, Tian Huo Zun, and Xiong Zhan. With four Dou Zuns on his side, Xiao Yan held absolute dominance. Even Lei Zun, a peak three-star Dou Zun, had no choice but to surrender. Fei Tian, completely defeated, was forced to give up his territory without further resistance.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had crushed an eight-star Dou Zong, humiliated the Northern Pavilion, and claimed victory over his old foe, Fei Tian. His rise to the Dou Zun level was not just a personal triumph but a testament to his unwavering determination and unparalleled strength.
Conclusion
Xiao Yan’s first battle after advancing to Dou Zun showcased his incredible power, his ability to crush even the strongest of opponents with ease, and his readiness to take on even greater challenges in the Dou Qi Continent. As he continues his journey, the legend of Xiao Yan grows ever stronger, leaving all who oppose him trembling in fear.
