1033. Battle Against Remnant Souls
Even Hunmang, born into the Soul Clan, was seeing this for the first time. When the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor truly appeared, Hunmang's gaze was almost fixed on it, unable to look away.
"It really is this power, the power of a Dou Di!"
Hun Mang's tone, besides being surprised and shocked by the Dou Di's soul, also contained a hint of excitement.
"Unfilial descendant Lingyuan greets the Ancestor. A powerful enemy is pressing in, and the fate of our clan is in peril. I humbly beseech the Ancestor to manifest his divine power, slay the invading enemy, and protect the bloodline of my Ling clan!" Lingyuan knelt before the figure and pleaded.
"The Spirit Race".
Upon hearing this request, the phantom of the Spirit Clan's Battle Emperor scanned the entire Spirit Clan in a daze. This power had remained on the Dou Qi Continent for over ten thousand years, and with the passage of time, much of it had naturally disappeared. Most of his original memories had also vanished, but his memories of the Spirit Clan he had created were slowly recovering.
"Ten thousand years later, the very heart of the spirit realm has been invaded..."
The words were very calm, but Ling Yuan felt utterly grief-stricken and ashamed upon hearing them. The Spirit Clan had truly fallen to rock bottom and had no choice but to use the power of this remnant soul of a Dou Di.
He dared not refute, for compared to ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Race had indeed declined. If he did not summon the remnant soul of the Dou Di Ancestor, he was helpless in the face of the current situation and saw no chance of victory.
The phantom of the Spirit Emperor slowly spoke, his tone carrying an indescribable complexity.
"Although it is dilapidated, it is still... my descendant."
The remnant soul of the Spirit Clan's Dou Di shifted its gaze from Ling Yuan, pointing directly ahead, and said in an all-knowing, unquestionable tone, "Come out!"
As soon as the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor finished speaking, a spatial vortex, like a flame, suddenly appeared in the space he was gazing at. A tall figure stepped out from it, showing no fear even when facing the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor; on the contrary, he seemed to be filled with fighting spirit!
"Junior Yan Jin of the Yan Clan greets Senior!"
Although Yan Jin's strength has now reached the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, placing him at the pinnacle of the continent, he is still a long way from the Dou Di realm. While the Ling Tian Emperor is currently an enemy of the Yan Clan, he is, after all, a legendary figure who has truly stepped into that supreme realm. Therefore, Yan Jin's current etiquette carries the respect due to a junior towards a predecessor.
"Nine-star Dou Sheng, it seems the Yan Clan is in a much better position than the Ling Clan."
The remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor made its judgment based on Yan Jin's current strength, but these words naturally didn't sit well with Yan Jin.
"Nowadays, the Yan Clan is merely struggling to survive amidst the infighting from all sides."
"Whatever the reason, your intrusion into the Spirit Realm is a fact. Let me see how much strength the younger generation of the Dou Qi Continent will possess ten thousand years from now, and also see how much remaining power this remnant soul of mine still possesses!"
With a slight wave of his hand, the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor caused the entire sky of the Spirit Realm to collapse!
Without any fancy fighting spirit, it coalesced and forcefully descended upon Yan Jin.
There were no dazzling lights or shadows, no complicated techniques, only the purest and most primal battle qi being forcibly compressed and condensed. An unimaginably vast force forcefully and unreasonably pressed down on Yan Jin below.
It's so fierce and domineering that it's almost unreasonable!
Facing the attack from the remnant soul of a Dou Di, Yan Jin showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh that shook the entire area. The laughter transformed into a sonic boom, and Yan Jin suddenly spread his arms wide, causing the vast, ocean-like Dou Qi within his body to instantly surge. The two strange flames, Volcanic Stone Flame and Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame, like two ancient fire dragons awakened, burst forth from his body with a thunderous roar!
The flames swelled in the wind, their power overwhelming. Finally, under Yan Jin's control, the surging, strange fire power materialized into two enormous, sky-covering fiery hands in the void. These hands had clearly defined fingers and distinct palm lines, possessing an awe-inspiring might!
"rise--!"
With a roar, Yan Jin unleashed his two giant fiery hands, carrying the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and forcefully lifted them upwards!
They forcefully lifted up the seemingly collapsing "heaven and earth" released by the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor, inch by inch!
"The defeat of the Spirit Clan is inevitable. If Senior Spirit Emperor wishes to stop it, then this junior can only send you on your way."
Yan Jin's act of lifting the sky was extremely exaggerated, but the truly shocking scenes were far from over.
After those two enormous hands lifted the sky, the flames continued to surge.
First, a massive head, as large as a mountain and burning with endless flames, took shape in the flames, glaring angrily down upon all living beings.
Next came a towering, fiery torso, its muscles a tapestry of two colors. Then came legs that seemed capable of shattering mountains and rivers, firmly rooted in the void.
Finally, the Flame of Ember vanished, replaced by a colossal fire giant exceeding a hundred feet in size. This giant was unlike any attack unleashed by an ordinary powerhouse; every inch of it was entirely condensed from strange fire. Even if it stood still, the energy fluctuations it contained were enough to affect a Dou Sheng-level being.
"High-level Celestial Rank, Flame Spirit Fire Body!"
The raging flames grew ever more intense, their scorching energy like a real sun. Had it not been for the protective array of the Spirit Clan, all living beings within a thousand miles of the array would have been instantly dried up, their very breath turning into scalding hot irons.
The power of the strange fire is extremely strong. Yan Jin himself possesses two strange fires and has been strengthening them over the years. Now, when he releases them with a single move, combined with the Yan Clan's Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, it truly has the power to burn the sky and boil the sea!
The enormous fire giant moved its hands, carrying the power to easily destroy mountains, and swatted down at the seemingly insignificant remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor as if swatting a fly.
Faced with this violent attack, the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor remained motionless, his movements seemingly slow. Only when the pair of large hands were already in front of him did the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor finally move, drawing talismans in the void one after another.
Streams of ancient, intricate runes flowed from his fingertips.
Once the giant fiery hand completely gripped the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor, the newly formed runes suddenly burst forth with dazzling spiritual light, and countless fine beams of light pierced through it. The battle qi on the runes was extremely dense, and the giant fiery hand was also pierced and damaged.
hiss hiss hiss—
Even the giant hand of flame, formed from the two sources of different flames, was riddled with holes, and large swaths of flame energy scattered, like a rain of fire.
"Okay, let's do it again!"
This damage was nothing to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Yan Jin. His strange fire surged forth again, and the giant hand that it manifested was even thicker than before, grabbing down once more without any fancy moves. This time, it was faster and more powerful.
