Chapter 2 - Life? Death?

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the space in front of him within the cream-white swirl. Accurately speaking, he was staring at the dense white fog that was floating in the space.

That was something that had already disappeared from the Dou Qi continent. It was also something that Hun Tiandi had planned for a thousand years back then. He had even sacrificed the entire continent to obtain it.

"Di Essence."

"Tsk tsk, Di Essence. Back then, Hun Tiandi had planned for a thousand years just to obtain a trace of the Di tier embryonic pill. Now, however, these Di Essences are just like air. Tsk tsk, the world has really changed! As long as one becomes a Dou Di, the Di Essence, tsk tsk, would likely be much more abundant than air! Unfortunately, it is already impossible to return from this realm. Otherwise, if I were to give these Di Essences to father-in-law and elder Zhu Kun, I would be able to create two elite Dou Di out of thin air. Ugh, what a pity. Really, tsk tsk tsk … "

Xiao Yan let out a long sigh when he thought until this point. However, after thinking about it from another angle, Xiao Yan did not think too much about it.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun were already very old. Moreover, they were the peak experts on the Dou Qi continent. They had already gotten used to the leisurely life on the Dou Qi continent. Now that they were asked to break through the bottleneck and become Di Di, even Xun Er and Cai Lin would not agree to it, much less Gu Yuan.

Hence, Xiao Yan's body moved and he flew towards the white fog in front of him.

While Xiao Yan was advancing, he did not discover that the Di Essences were slowly gathering towards Xiao Yan at a speed that was not visible to the naked eye. They actually passed through his clothes and entered his body. After which, they merged with his Dou Qi and body. However, Xiao Yan, the person in charge, was completely unaware of this. He continued to advance towards the dense white fog in front of him.

After an unknown period of time, Xiao Yan finally came to a stop. However, he was frowning intently. His expression was extremely ugly.

Xiao Yan did not deliberately calculate the time that he had advanced. Hence, he did not know how long he had walked. However, it should have been around ten days to half a month or so. However, there was only white fog in front of him since the beginning. There was nothing at all.

Xiao Yan had attempted to change his direction. However, the result was the same. He was unable to find any exit.

Xiao Yan could only unleash his Di state spirit. However, he still did not discover anything. Instead, he felt that there was something wrong with his Spiritual Strength. However, he was unable to tell what was wrong. This caused Xiao Yan's expression became even more serious.

Later on, even Xiao Yan's body felt a little swollen. He originally thought that he was unable to adapt to the Emperor's Origins. Hence, he tried to move faster. However, he discovered that the faster he moved, the more swollen his body felt.

Until just now, Xiao Yan inadvertently noticed that his hand was actually filled with tiny cracks. Under Xiao Yan's careful observation, Xiao Yan discovered that his entire body was like this.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with both fear and seriousness. He had actually been seriously injured without knowing it. His physical body was also on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Yan wanted to use his Dou Qi to forcefully suppress it. However, just as he was about to circulate his Dou Qi, he discovered that he could no longer use his Dou Qi. What's more, he was unable to suppress his injuries!

Damn it. What is going on? Why? Why is it like this? My body? My Dou Qi? Why is it like this? Ah! What is going on? Could it be that there is no one stronger than a Dou Di? Don't tell me that what my Spiritual Strength has sensed all these years is just an illusion? Did those elite Dou Di from the ancient times all die here? In that case, what is the point of being a Dou Di!

For some unknown reason, Xiao Yan's heart actually roared furiously in an irritable manner.

"I am unwilling. For teacher, for father, for Xun Er, for the clan and for the entire Dou Qi continent, I continued to train. After nine changes, I became a Sheng. Finally, I broke through the Dou Sheng stage and turned into a Di. I defeated Hun Tiandi. However, why is it that it is only a joke in the end? I am unwilling!!! "

Xiao Yan thought until this point in his heart. He lifted his head and his throat emitted an unwilling hoarse roar. He did his best to roar towards the sky.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's hair was a mess. His face was bright red. Traces of fresh blood continued to flow out from the cracks on the skin on his face, dyeing Xiao Yan's entire body blood red. He had turned into a blood person. Both of his eyes were filled with blood and protruded outwards. The muscles all over his body were tense as he stood on the spot. At a glance, he appeared just like a crazy Magical Beast.

He looked extremely ferocious. Suddenly, Xiao Yan's body fell backwards. Both of his eyes were slowly shut. His Spiritual Strength continued to spread and disappear involuntarily. If someone were to see this scene at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this was the sign that the Spiritual Essence was about to collapse.

However, the Spiritual Strength did not disappear. Instead, it merged into one with the Di Essence in an extremely strange state.

Xiao Yan's body fell downwards. His speed was unusually fast. If there was a rock below Xiao Yan's body at this moment, Xiao Yan's body would definitely be smashed to pieces and he would die on the spot.

During the process of falling unconscious, Xiao Yan had a dream. He dreamed of his three years of being a good-for-nothing. He dreamed of the ridicule of his clansmen. He dreamed of the joys and dangers of following his teacher to roam the continent. He dreamed of the joys and sorrows of parting and reuniting with Xun Er.

But suddenly, all of this began to disappear. Xiao Yan watched his friends and relatives leave him one by one. Xiao Yan wanted to keep them, but he was powerless.

Looking at Xun Er's figure gradually fading away, Xiao Yan suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Xun Er. However, his hand was still empty.

Xiao Yan's hands clenched into fists in his dream. He roared towards the sky in grief and indignation.

"Ah! Xun Er! The heavens are unfair! The heavens are unfair!! "

At the same time, Xiao Yan, who was continuously falling in reality, also stretched out his hand to grab Xun Er. However, the result was different. In his hand, there was an additional strand of silver-white light.

At this time, this strand of silver-white light was constantly struggling due to the sudden solidification. It was trying to break free from Xiao Yan's hand.

Although Xiao Yan could not use Dou Qi at this time, Xiao Yan was the Flame Emperor. His physical strength was extremely strong. How could a tiny strand of silver-white light escape from his hand?

Hence, after struggling for awhile to no avail, it finally came to a stop. It appeared to have collapsed as it quietly lay on Xiao Yan's hand and followed Xiao Yan as they fell.
