Chapter 693: Six Emperors Break Through the Void, A New Journey
As the years passed by, several decades had already slipped away since the legendary Battle of the Three Emperors.
During these decades, the Dou Qi Continent once again flourished, with countless new talents emerging and astonishing the world.
However, no matter how brilliant the younger generation became, two figures always stood above them.
Lei Emperor, Mo Yu.
Yan Emperor, Xiao Yan.
These were the two men who had saved Central State from the clutches of the Soul Emperor, and they had since become the strongest individuals on the Dou Qi Continent.
Although the two had not been seen on the continent for many years, their legend was still passed down through generations. The names Lei Emperor and Yan Emperor echoed in every corner of the Dou Qi Continent.
At the peak of Central State, there stood a mountain, which had risen from the earth during the Battle of the Three Emperors. The world called it "Three Emperor Mountain."
This mountain was impossibly high, and it seemed to have a special energy barrier around it. No one, regardless of their strength, could break through it. It was rumored to be the retreat of Lei Emperor and Yan Emperor, and thus, no one dared to disturb it.
At the summit of this mountain, within a grand estate, two figures stood with their hands behind their backs: a man in black robes and a young man with silver eyes.
These two were none other than the renowned Lei Emperor Mo Yu and Yan Emperor Xiao Yan.
Though decades had passed since the Battle of the Three Emperors, time seemed to have left no trace on their faces. Mo Yu still looked as youthful and handsome as ever, almost like a young man, while Xiao Yan's resolute face remained adorned with deep black eyes.
The only difference was that both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's auras had grown far stronger compared to when they first broke through to Dou Di (Battle Emperor). Clearly, they had not neglected their cultivation during these years.
Mo Yu gazed up at the endless void. Though there were no visible energy fluctuations around him, his mere presence seemed to dim the world around him.
"Cousin, you seem quite drawn to the world beyond the Dou Qi Continent," Xiao Yan noticed Mo Yu's eager expression and chuckled.
"Heh, aren't you as well, cousin? For warriors like us, being invincible is not the goal. What's more important is having a direction to advance. I can sense that in that other world, there are even stronger beings. Once we enter that world, our cultivation will no longer stagnate. Challenging ourselves and defeating stronger enemies—doesn't that sound exciting?" Mo Yu smiled faintly, his silver eyes flashing with passion.
The years of invincibility had been peaceful, but also quite dull.
Both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan were cultivation fanatics. While life on the Dou Qi Continent had been comfortable, it only caused their fighting spirit to gradually cool down.
It was clear that neither of them would accept such an outcome.
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Xiao Yan's eyes also lit up with excitement. He stretched his muscles, causing a series of cracking sounds to echo.
"Cousin, you've hit the nail on the head. I haven't fought in decades, and if this continues, I feel like I'm going to rust. Indeed, a life of constant battle suits both of us."
As Xiao Yan spoke, he too gazed into the endless void, his blood surging with excitement. The unknown world had begun to awaken his fighting spirit.
Seeing the look in Xiao Yan's eyes, Mo Yu smiled. Xiao Yan was still the same Xiao Yan, even though decades had passed since their three-year promise in Wutan City. The fiery spirit of "thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west" still burned within him.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu clenched his fists. Xiao Yan had his ambitions, and Mo Yu had his own. Whether on the Dou Qi Continent or in the Greater World, he would become the strongest!
"Father and Senior Zhu Kun should be arriving soon, right?" Suddenly, two graceful figures walked out from behind them, smiling.
It was none other than Lei Fei'er and Xun Er. Since the Mo and Xiao families were allied, the two women often spent time together.
"Oh, you're here."
Mo Yu and Xiao Yan turned toward the two beautiful faces that could outshine the world, each stepping forward to hold their wives' hands.
Mo Yu looked at Lei Fei'er and softly asked, "Did Father Lei succeed?"
Lei Fei'er shook her head and replied, "No, Father recently broke through to Nine-Star Dou Saint, but he doesn't have enough confidence to break through to Dou Di just yet. He plans to train for a while longer."
Hearing this, Mo Yu was taken aback, then nodded slightly.
Though the Dou Qi Continent now had access to Source Qi, breaking through to Dou Di wasn't easy. After all, decades ago, Lei Ying had only been an Eight-Star Dou Saint, trailing behind the likes of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun.
"It's alright. With Father Lei's talent, he'll break through to Dou Di sooner or later," Mo Yu reassured Lei Fei'er before turning to Xun Er beside Xiao Yan with a smile.
"Cousin Xun Er, I assume Uncle Gu has broken through to Dou Di by now?"
Xun Er nodded gently and smiled. "Yes, thanks to Cousin Mo Yu and my husband opening that mysterious dimensional portal and drawing in the Source Qi. Without that, aside from you two, no one in this world would have reached Dou Di."
As she spoke, Xun Er waved her hand, and instantly, flowers bloomed in the courtyard, brimming with vitality. The energy she radiated was clearly beyond that of a peak Dou Saint.
"Ah, Sister Xun Er has broken through to Dou Di! I wish I could break through to Dou Di too…" Lei Fei'er sighed.
Though her beauty was nearly on par with Xun Er's, her talent didn't quite match up. Lei Fei'er was still a bit behind Gu Xun Er in that regard.
"Sister Fei'er, don't feel disheartened. Now that the continent is full of Source Qi, I'm sure you'll reach Dou Di soon. Also, I've heard that Sister Cai Lin has been in seclusion. I wonder how she's doing." Xun Er smiled as she asked.
"Cai Lin? She should be emerging from seclusion soon."
Mo Yu smiled, and just as his words fell, the courtyard suddenly burst with radiant, colorful light. The light gathered, forming a graceful figure that appeared before Mo Yu.
"After so many years of seclusion, I've finally broken through." Cai Lin stretched lazily, laughing. "So this is the level of a Dou Di? It's completely different from Dou Saint."
"Haha, Sister Cai Lin has also become a Dou Di! That's wonderful! Thanks to Brother Mo and Brother Xiao, my wish has also been fulfilled," a voice suddenly echoed as the space above twisted violently. Two figures emerged from the void—it was Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun. Though they hadn't changed much in appearance, their auras were far stronger than before, signaling that they too had reached Dou Di.
Six Dou Dis!
The once-extinct Dou Di level had now reappeared, and six had emerged all at once!
If word of this spread, it would shake the entire Dou Qi Continent.
"You all already had the strength to reach Dou Di, but the lack of Source Qi held you back. Now that this problem is solved, reaching Dou Di was just a matter of course," Mo Yu said with a smile.
Xiao Yan nodded and added, "As time passes, more Dou Di experts will emerge on the continent. Restoring the ancient glory of the past will happen sooner rather than later."
"Hehe, even though we've become Dou Dis, we're still far behind you two, aren't we? What level have you two reached now?" Zhu Kun asked curiously.
Even though he had become a Dou Di, he couldn't gauge the true strength of Mo Yu and Xiao Yan. Over the decades, it seemed the two had made further progress.
"Well, I'm not really sure either," Xiao Yan said, shrugging helplessly.
Dou Dis were the strongest in this world, but beyond that, Xiao Yan hadn't yet entered the Greater World, so he didn't know what came next.
However, he knew that compared to when he had just become a Dou Di, he had grown significantly stronger. Even someone like the Soul Heavenly Emperor would no longer pose any threat to him.
Mo Yu's eyes flickered slightly. He had some understanding of the power levels in the Greater World. Based on his current strength after decades of cultivation, he estimated that he had surpassed the Supreme level and reached the Earth Supreme tier.
Whether he was a Lower Earth Supreme, Upper Earth Supreme, or had reached Earth Supreme Perfection, Mo Yu wasn't certain yet. He'd have to wait until he entered the Greater World and converted his Dou Qi to spiritual energy.
Of course, Mo Yu didn't mention any of this. These things weren't exactly top-secret, but he didn't feel like explaining too much. Once they entered the Greater World, Xiao Yan and the others would naturally find out.
"These mysteries might have answers in that dimension," Mo Yu said with a smile, gazing into the endless void.
"Heh, I'm curious too," Zhu Kun grinned, his eyes burning with excitement. In this world, they were the strongest. But in that mysterious dimension, this was only the beginning of their journey.
"You're eager, aren't you?" Xiao Yan smiled.
"Haha, aren't you two the same? As the famous Lei Emperor and Yan Emperor of the continent, I bet you've both been itching to get started," Zhu Kun laughed heartily, clearly understanding Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's personalities.
Hearing this, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and smiled wryly.
"Since you're both here, I assume you've made all the necessary arrangements? You understand, that dimension is far more dangerous than the Dou Qi Continent. There, we won't be the strongest," Mo Yu reminded them.
"The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe will be in good hands with Zi Yan. With the Source Qi you left for her, it's only a matter of time before she reaches Dou Di. I'll head to that dimension first and scout it out for her," Zhu Kun said.
"The Gu Clan has some promising new blood as well. With Gu Qingyang's reputation, I'm confident he'll manage the Gu Clan well," Gu Yuan smiled. "After all these years serving the Gu Clan, it's time I experience some excitement for myself."
Hearing this, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan smiled. After getting Xun Er's consent, Xiao Yan turned to Mo Yu, who looked at Cai Lin and asked, "What about you?"
"Those little ones can handle things just fine without us. No one on the Dou Qi Continent dares provoke them now. Plus, Fei'er and the others will be here to look after them. So of course, I'm coming with you," Cai Lin replied with a radiant smile.
Mo Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and looked up at the endless void. A brilliant smile spread across his face, a smile that hadn't appeared in many years.
"In that case, let's get going. After all these years of rest, I've nearly forgotten the feeling of battle."
Without further delay, Xiao Yan began to slowly rise into the sky. Mo Yu smiled and followed close behind.
As the two soared higher, thick clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and within an instant, the skies for miles around grew dark.
Countless strong individuals looked up in shock, gazing toward Three Emperor Mountain. There, they felt an overwhelming surge of energy.
Under the gaze of innumerable eyes, the endless void above Three Emperor Mountain began to twist violently. The thick clouds writhed and eventually formed a dark passage that exuded a terrifying aura.
This passage led to another dimension.
Staring at the passage that resembled a black hole, Mo Yu flicked his finger, sending five beams of light into Xiao Yan and the others' hands. "Exchange soul jades and leave soul imprints on them. This way, if anything happens, we'll know each other's fates."
Mo Yu's expression grew serious as he spoke. Even he sensed danger in the Greater World. Not only were there stronger enemies there, but also the evil Outworldly Evil Clans. Caution was necessary.
"Understood."
Xiao Yan, Xun Er, and the others knew the importance of the situation. They nodded and exchanged their soul jades.
"Let's go."
After giving the final instructions, Mo Yu took a deep breath and said no more. With Xiao Yan holding onto Xun Er and Mo Yu tightly grasping Cai Lin's hand, the four of them transformed into black streaks of light, shooting toward the dark passage. Behind them, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun followed closely.
Countless gazes watched as the streaks of light streaked across the sky. Some people seemed to realize what Mo Yu and the others were planning, and across the continent, countless figures knelt in reverence.
"Farewell, Lei Emperor!"
"Farewell, Yan Emperor!"
Their thunderous voices gathered across the Dou Qi Continent, rising to the heavens and echoing through the sky, lingering for a long time.
"Hehe, finally heading to the Greater World, huh? That place is a thousand times more exciting than the Dou Qi Continent. I never thought I, the Wind Emperor, would see the light of day again," a voice chuckled from within Mo Yu's body. It was none other than the Wind Emperor, the key figure who had helped Mo Yu ascend to Dou Di. (End of chapter)
