The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 872 Emperor Yan

Nanzhou, Shengyan Island.

Holy Flame Island and Holy Flame Temple were founded by Emperor Yan Ying Zhengtian.

Emperor Yan, the most powerful being in Aotian Continent and one of the five great emperors, has existed for a period of 180,000 years, second only to Emperor Aotian.

According to legend, Yan Di's family was just an inconspicuous branch of the Ying family in its early years, and his parents were just ordinary monks.

In the second year after Yan Emperor was born, his parents disappeared inexplicably, leaving the two-year-old Yan Emperor unattended.

The winner also ignored this mediocre child, and only his aunt was willing to take care of him.

But my aunt was just a mortal. She took care of Yan Emperor for two years and then died. Since then, no one has taken care of this four or five-year-old child.

Strangely, Emperor Yan, who was less than five years old, grew up miraculously without anyone taking care of him.

Yan Emperor lived and practiced alone until he left his hometown at the age of twelve to venture out into the world.

From then on, no one knew about Ying Zhengtian anymore until seven thousand years later, when the Ying family was in decline and about to be exterminated by their enemies, Emperor Yan suddenly appeared.

Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Palace.

In a magnificent hall, a young man wearing a Confucian robe and with an ordinary appearance sat on the throne of the hall.

Beneath the throne, Ying Chengxu, the Palace Master of the Holy Flame Palace, stood silently with his hands behind his back, not daring to make a single sound.

The hall was unusually quiet. The young man on the throne was sleeping with his cheek propped up, and the sound of his snoring could be heard.

About a quarter of an hour later, the young man opened his eyes, and the whole palace shook. An indescribable hot breath blew towards Ying Chengxu.

Ying Chengxu quickly opened up his magical barrier to resist this all-consuming force, shouting, "Master, please withdraw your magical powers immediately! I can't handle this anymore!"

The young man looked around in confusion, then stretched and yawned as he asked, "It's been five hundred years already?"

Ying Chengxu breathed a sigh of relief and broke out in a sweat. In just that second, he was almost burned to death by the law of fire that his master accidentally released.

He quickly wiped the sweat off his face, bowed and said, "It's been five hundred years~ Master, you seem to have slept particularly soundly this time~"

The young man smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Yeah, I dreamed about some things from my youth. I miss them so much~~"

The young man's clothing and conversation were quite ordinary. If Ying Chengxu hadn't known that the man in front of him was his master,

Who would dare to believe that this plain-looking, plain-dressed young man is one of the five great emperors of Aotian Continent and the ruler of Nanzhou?!

Emperor Yan was dressed in a gray Confucian robe. He had no majestic appearance, no gorgeous attire, and no magical fluctuations of a cultivator. At first glance, he was just an ordinary mortal scholar.

Ying Chengxu smiled and said, "Master, do you want to travel to the mortal world again?" Emperor Yan nodded and said, "Yes, but unfortunately the demonic calamity is approaching, and I can't relax even if I want to~"

Ying Chengxu said with horror, "Master, is there really no way to repair the seal?"

Emperor Yan shook his head and said, "Last time, I went to check it out with three other Daoists. Even with the combined efforts of the four of us, we only managed to repair less than one percent of it.

It’s only a matter of time before the seal is broken, and by then, Aotian Continent will be devastated…”

Ying Chengxu sighed inwardly, "Master and those three adults are helpless. It seems that the demonic calamity is truly unavoidable."

Ying Chengxu asked respectfully, "Master, how long do you think the seal can last?"

Emperor Yan said calmly, "A thousand years at most. If the child of destiny that old man mentioned hasn't appeared within a thousand years..."

Forget it, why talk about these depressing things when you just woke up? Are all the people participating in this competition here?"

Ying Chengxu replied, "Almost. They are now fighting the sirens in the Endless Sea. They will be able to reach the island in about three days."

Emperor Yan looked up, and his eyes gave people an indescribable feeling, as if he could see through everything in the world.

After a while, Emperor Yan withdrew his gaze and said, "Yes, there are several geniuses in this class with special physiques. You should pay more attention to these people~"

After saying this, Emperor Yan stood up and prepared to leave. Ying Chengxu hurriedly asked, "Master, are you leaving? The competition is about to begin. Aren't you going to preside over it?"

Emperor Yan smiled and said, "Aren't there still three days left? I won't go far. I'll just go fishing nearby~" As he said that, Emperor Yan disappeared out of thin air.

"Fishing..." Ying Chengxu muttered, "I wonder which sea monster is going to be in trouble."

Endless sea.

Pan Chengfeng looked at the more than 3,000 steel-tailed beasts in front of him and said, "Now we can eat them until the New Year!"

Thousands of steel-tailed beasts emerged from the water and rushed towards several thunder boats.

If they were attacked by so many fourth and fifth level sea monsters, the thunder boats would definitely not be able to hold on.

With the experience from the first time, Pan Chengfeng knew this time that he couldn't give these beasts the chance to devour their own kind, otherwise it would only make the fight more troublesome.

With his hands forming seals, Pan Chengfeng's mana surged, his eyes blazing with fire as he shouted, "Burn you bastards to death!!! Flame Explosion Meteor Shower!!"

Thousands of fist-sized fireballs fell from the sky, and a terrifying meteor shower descended upon the sea!

This time, Pan Chengfeng increased his mana output, and countless fireballs fell and landed on the Steel Tailed Beast, directly blowing it into the air and breaking it into pieces.

But even if they were blown into pieces, it would not stop these beasts from devouring their own kind.

One spell destroyed most of the sirens, but the remaining sirens showed no intention of retreating. After devouring their own kind, they became even more ferocious.

There were more than three thousand steel-tailed beasts, and Pan Chengfeng killed about two thousand of them in one move. More than a thousand of them rushed to Pan Chengfeng and then threw out powerful steel spikes.

Pan Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, why is he so difficult to deal with! I can see he's really going to be ruthless!!!"

Seeing countless steel spikes coming at him, Pan Chengfeng didn't intend to hold back. The magic power in his body surged, and his hands quickly formed seals. The violent fire spiritual power continued to overflow. Pan Chengfeng shouted: "Angry Dragon Burning the Sky!!"

Nearly a thousand kilometer-long fire dragons appeared, roaring and rushing towards the sea. When the steel spikes met the fire dragons, they were instantly melted by the scorching heat!

Giant flaming dragons rushed into the sea like dragons returning to the ocean, and the entire sea surface began to boil.

Such a terrifying high temperature boiled the sea, not to mention the steel-tailed beasts, all of which were reduced to ashes by the fire dragon.

Pan Chengfeng scanned with his spiritual sense and confirmed that there were no sea monsters. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You forced me to use ruthless force. What a waste of these rations. Alas~~"

After working for a long time, I thought I could collect a lot of sirens for food, but these sirens would devour each other. Once they were killed, they would be devoured by their own kind. It would be useless even if they were blown into pieces.

Pan Chengfeng simply burned them all for you. You can’t eat them yourself, and no one else can eat them either.

Just as they were about to return to the boat to rest, countless large bags appeared on the sea surface, and tens of thousands of Steel Tailed Beasts appeared.

Pan Chengfeng's mouth twitched slightly and he asked, "Is this really not over yet?"
