"Judging by this formation, Your Excellency doesn't seem to welcome our arrival.
If this is a sign of rejection, then we don't need to waste each other's time."
Quan Yi's Dragon Eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully observed the energy fluctuations within the Misty Smoke King.
The formation displayed by the Misty Smoke King had the air of a Hongmen Banquet.
Facing nearly a hundred powerful Soul Beasts at the Ten Thousand Year level simultaneously, a single misstep could lead to an Irretrievable Disaster.
What truly threatened Quan Yi was their demonstrated ability to conceal themselves and control other Elements.
Unlike Huo Wu's Mental Power simulation, this was more about utilizing external Elements.
This was somewhat different from the Elemental Resonance Quan Yi created with his Mental Power.
This was purely using the interactions between Fire, Wind, and Water Elements to indirectly control other Elements.
The principle wasn't difficult to see through, and Quan Yi didn't lack Fire Control abilities, but the problem was that Quan Yi's perception of the Wind Element was far inferior to that of the Misty Smoke Albatross Clan.
Although mutated to Fire-attribute, their bloodline's innate extraordinary perception of the Wind Element allowed them to use the same Firepower to trigger more Wind Element.
Controlling the Water Element was a similar principle; the clouds and rain in the sky were originally formed by evaporated water vapor expanding and rising, then condensing into water at high altitudes.
Moreover, the flow of air composed of water vapor was also a type of Wind.
Therefore, controlling the Fire Element was, in a sense, equivalent to controlling Wind and Water.
This made the Stormsmoke Albatross Clan more threatening than the other Three Clans because Quan Yi's Fire Immunity couldn't exert an absolute advantage in front of them.
"Don't be nervous; this is just a simple test.
However, I didn't expect you to see through our carefully prepared Doubtful Formation so easily."
Before entering this Doubtful Cloud, the Scarlet Dragon Eye hadn't seen such exaggerated clouds.
However, the moment they entered the cloud, the Heaven and Earth Source Power and Mental Power content inside began to surge.
Although the Doubtful Cloud was quickly seen through, Quan Yi and Huo Wu were indeed confused for a while during the transformation.
More importantly, the Misty Smoke King, as the strongest, hadn't taken action.
If the Misty Smoke King were to lead, they might be able to directly trigger an Elemental Storm in this area.
Regardless of their own safety, the entire Space would fall into chaos at that time, and even the Scarlet Dragon Eye would find it difficult to see through.
It had to be said that the Misty Smoke King's actions did indeed serve as a show of force.
"Test? If I understand correctly, does this mean Your Excellency is willing to Sacrifice?"
Without any pretense, Quan Yi directly inquired.
A trace of fluctuation appeared in the Misty Smoke King's indifferent eyes.
"Hehe, you are more interesting than any human I have ever seen.
Your personalities are more direct than even us Soul Beasts."
The dense, opaque clouds began to slowly dissipate, and the icy Cold Wind also returned to calm.
The barrier blocking both sides completely vanished, and the Misty Smoke Clan revealed their true appearance.
The Misty Smoke King glided smoothly to the forefront of the clan.
It first looked at Quan Yi, its gaze containing a hint of admiration, but this gaze quickly swept past Quan Yi, and finally settled on Huo Wu.
"In ten months, you've broken through the bottlenecks of Level 69 and Level 70. Such talent is indeed impressive.
However, cultivation talent is not the same as actual combat power.
How about this, I can give you a chance.
If that little girl over there can defeat me alone, I can Sacrifice myself to you.
Back then, the Flame Dragon King also went through battles before deciding to Sacrifice.
I am no exception. If you want to completely subdue me, you still have to defeat me with strength in the end.
What do you say, little girl, do you dare to fight me?"
The Misty Smoke King's words showed that it maintained a great interest in Huo Wu.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for Huo Wu, but fighting the Misty Smoke King alone was extremely dangerous.
Just as Quan Yi hesitated, Huo Wu replied loudly:
"As long as I defeat you, you will choose to Sacrifice to me, right? But what if you don't agree to Sacrifice after I defeat you?"
Huo Wu stared at the Misty Smoke King without fear, her eyes full of eagerness to try. Faced with a powerful enemy, Huo Wu only had a strong fighting spirit in her heart.
The Misty Smoke King was quite satisfied with Huo Wu's answer. She laughed heartily, completely losing her indifferent demeanor.
"If that's the case, then I am willing to be killed by you and become your Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Don't worry, I will personally tell the other two clan leaders about this matter, and even invite them to witness our battle with their own eyes.
At that time, even if I am killed, it will not affect your Non-Aggression Pact in the slightest."
There was a hint of madness in the Misty Smoke King's laughter.
This kind of agreement undoubtedly pushed its situation to an extremely unfavorable position.
However, this, to some extent, reflected the Misty Smoke King's hidden inner fortitude and Scorching Heat.
Of course, Quan Yi was unwilling for Huo Wu to accept such a challenge, but in the end, it was Huo Wu herself who had to make the decision.
When Quan Yi saw Huo Wu's unyielding eyes, he knew that Huo Wu had an answer in her heart.
"I accept this challenge!"
Huo Wu made her decision.
All Quan Yi could do was stand aside and support her decision.
He warned in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, I have only one request for this battle, and that is to ensure Huo Wu's life is safe.
If unnecessary situations occur, then I will immediately slaughter the entire Misty Smoke Albatross Clan."
At this moment, Quan Yi's gaze was incomparably cold. These cruel and ruthless words caused the Misty Smoke King's pupils to shrink, and its heart felt as if it was being kneaded hard by a large hand, causing a stinging pain.
Even from a great distance, the Misty Smoke King could feel the extreme aura of death from Quan Yi's eyes.
It knew that this was not a joke.
Moreover, Quan Yi could easily accomplish this.
It gave a wry smile, and then bowed its head to Quan Yi, saying, "Respected Volcano King, I will keep your instructions in mind."
The proud Misty Smoke King had almost forgotten what kind of person Quan Yi was standing in front of it.
This was a fierce individual who dared to challenge the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King alone before even obtaining the Seventh Soul Ring.
Now, it couldn't even imagine what level Quan Yi, who had inherited all of the Flame Dragon King's power, had reached.
At this moment, the Flame Dragon King residing within Quan Yi's body jumped out and suggested, "Since the duel has already been set, then you can set up the viewing platform above the Heavenly Pool.
That is the highest point in the Volcano Archipelago, which will allow the other clans to better see this duel."
The duel between the Misty Smoke King and Huo Wu would inevitably spread into the sky, so the Flame Dragon King's suggestion could be said to be very appropriate.
Moreover, this duel could not only determine the fate between Huo Wu and the Misty Smoke King, but it could also directly affect the decisions of the other two Beast Kings.
For this reason, what would be wrong with using the Heavenly Pool as a battlefield?
Everyone agreed to the Flame Dragon King's suggestion, and the Misty Smoke Clan immediately sent out messengers to invite the other two clans.
The Fierce Fang Sea Lion King and the Golden Furnace Flame Turtle King arrived upon hearing the news.
