As the commotion caused by the heaven and earth energy grew, in an instant, the entire thousand-mile radius around the Purple Crystal Valley was covered in ice and snow, and it showed a trend of intensifying.
"This aura... someone is actually breaking through to the Dou Zong realm here!"
Although Yang Hao was injured, his perception and insight remained. He was all too familiar with such a situation.
"The speed of energy gathering is so fast; he's about to break through!"
Looking at the howling ice and snow energy vortex in the distance, Yang Hao gasped.
When he broke through to Dou Zong, even with the boost of the Dou Di bloodline, it took an extremely long time.
The moment Yang Hao's voice fell, the ice and snow vortex seemed to explode. Wind and snow splashed in all directions, covering the forest with a thick layer of white snow.
Following that, a clear whistle, as if triggering the vibrations of heaven and earth, caused space to twist.
Even though it was nearly a thousand miles away from the Purple Crystal Valley, this place was also affected, shaking violently.
In the desolate valley, which had been eroded by the zither's sound, cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. Under the deafening roar, continuous rumbling sounds echoed, and it ultimately collapsed.
Xiao Yan and the others flew into mid-air, all quietly looking into the distance.
Xiao Yan was naturally full of confidence in the pills he refined.
After the secret method upgrade, the Breaking Evil Golden Pill had reached the high-level seventh-grade. Helping Hai Bodong remove the seal was a trivial matter, and allowing him to break through to Dou Zong didn't seem to be a limit.
The sound of the valley being destroyed had just ceased, and all the chill was completely contained.
Nearly a thousand Black Annihilation Army members stared intently in the direction where the terrifying chill was being contained. Just one aura made their thousand-plus Black Annihilation Army members feel terror.
A moment later, just as the chill completely disappeared, a shimmering blue light dot flashed from the horizon. With a dragon's roar, the blue light dot revealed its full appearance.
"Two-star Dou Zong!"
Feeling the might of this aura, the entire Black Annihilation Army echoed with whispers of awe.
The figure riding the ice dragon was like a spear, surrounded by vast, chilling energy. Although it caused heaven and earth to tremble, it did not release its bone-chilling temperature.
Dou Zong, the true watershed for experts on the continent. Only by successfully stepping into this level could one possess the basic qualifications to thrive in the Central Plains.
Even within the ancient clan, only by reaching the Dou Zong level could one, like Yang Hao, display their talent and value, thereby receiving more resources for cultivation.
However, due to the uncertainty of when the Dou Di bloodline would awaken, not many people could become a genius like Yang Hao within the ancient clan.
Of course, although the current Dou Zong was powerful, he was much older than Yang Hao. In the ancient clan, he would definitely not be considered anything special.
But strength is strength, and potential is potential.
Even if each of them could easily surpass the current Dou Zong in the future, if they died today, there would be no future.
"He actually directly broke through to a two-star Dou Zong!" Xun'er put away the Emperor Flame Changyang, looking at the black-haired Hai Bodong with surprise.
After most people advanced to Dou Zong, there would be a relatively long period of adjustment before they could truly reach one-star Dou Zong.
Although this single star seemed insignificant, between Dou Zongs, there was a considerable gap at each star level.
Most Dou Zongs, relying on normal cultivation, would need several years or even more than ten years to advance by one star in strength. Such things were not rare.
And the Hai Bodong before them had actually directly bypassed the adjustment period and even advanced another star, reaching the level of a two-star Dou Zong.
The pill he ate... Xun'er couldn't help but think of the source that allowed Hai Bodong to possess such strength.
That was definitely not an ordinary seventh-grade pill!!!
Breaking seals and causing terrifying increases in a person's strength were absolutely rare treasures, even among high-level seventh-grade pills.
"Today's Magical Beast Mountain Range seems exceptionally lively," Hai Bodong had never felt so refreshed.
Who would have thought that merely wanting a pill to break a seal would actually enable him to reach the terrifying Dou Zong level, an unprecedented level of power.
Hai Bodong looked at the person in black armor, riding a magical beast, with extremely sharp eyes. "Little Brother Xiao Yan, are these your friends?"
"Definitely not," Xiao Yan said faintly, his hands clasped in front of him.
Although Hai Bodong had guessed the identities of Xiao Yan and Xun'er and knew that they couldn't be judged by the common sense of the Jia Ma Empire, he had never imagined it would be so terrifying.
An army of Dou King level, and everyone seemed quite young.
If they possessed such power, it would be enough for them to run rampant across the Jia Ma Empire.
If he had his previous strength, facing such a Dou King army with flying magical beasts, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
However, now that he had been reborn, he had the confidence to fight them.
Yang Hao returned to his flying magical beast, and his face sank as he looked at the Dou Zong level Hai Bodong:
"Who are you, sir? A word of advice, the Dou Qi Continent is vast. Even if you've reached Dou Zong strength, which might make you unique in this backward place, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, you're just a... minor character."
This kind of fellow who only broke through to Dou Zong after half a century, if he were given a few more months, he could take on ten of them.
"Are you telling me how to do things?!"
Hai Bodong roared, abruptly raising his hand. The surging, majestic ice Dou Qi within him erupted like a flood, seemingly tearing the sky.
A large amount of Dou Qi surged out, and rings of glistening blue light appeared on Hai Bodong's strong arms.
"Profound Ice Dragon Soar!"
A deep shout. As Hai Bodong roared, a powerful energy was instantly released.
The ice giant dragon beneath his feet immediately let out a deafening roar. Then, with a crack, the giant dragon split into nine, tumbling in the air, emitting terrifying cold energy.
This cold energy instantly swept across the entire battlefield, and the entire Black Annihilation Army was severely impacted. The Dou Qi cultivated from the ancient clan's inherited cultivation method even stagnated for a moment or two.
Although the grade of this fighting skill seemed ordinary to them, when unleashed by this two-star Dou Zong expert, it was vastly different.
Hai Bodong turned his head to look at Xun'er. Although he didn't know what was going on, he had good eyesight. This army was clearly after her.
"Miss, give me the word."
Watching the Black Annihilation Army's formation fall into disarray under Hai Bodong's Profound rank fighting skill, Xun'er shook her head gently:
"The Black Annihilation Army is the elite of the clan, but your performance truly disappoints me. If you're still at this level next time, you won't even need outsiders to make a move."
