Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 115 : . The Ultimate Fortune

In the blood pool, Soul Emperor Tian suddenly opened his eyes. The blood energy that had been continuously supplying the pool suddenly ceased without warning, and the Emperor Pill that was about to be completed also fell silent.

"What... what's happening?!" Soul Emperor Tian's eyes were bloodshot, bordering on madness. How long had he waited for this moment? Over a thousand years! He had schemed for over a millennium, all for this moment to refine the Emperor Pill and advance to Dou God in one fell swoop. Now that it was about to succeed, how could he accept this sudden mishap?!

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, but as if he had anticipated such a situation, his face showed no trace of frustration or anger. He raised his eyes, glancing at the nearly berserk Soul Emperor Tian, and suddenly smiled, "Father, don't be impatient. When Gu Xun'er became a Dou God, I anticipated this situation might occur, so I prepared a contingency plan."

Hearing this, Soul Emperor Tian sharply turned his head, staring intently at Xiao Yan. Faced with Soul Emperor Tian's fierce gaze, Xiao Yan showed no fear, returning the look with a smile.

After a while, Soul Emperor Tian suppressed his ferocity and laughed heartily, "As expected of my son, always thoroughly prepared."

He paused, then asked, "What kind of contingency plan did you prepare?"

Xiao Yan's gaze deepened slightly, his smile taking on a somewhat profound meaning.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Now!"

Soul Emperor Tian's pupils contracted sharply. A warrior's instinct told him something was amiss. Before his mind could react, his body moved on its own, violent Dou Qi suddenly erupting as he raised his palm to strike at Xiao Yan.

However, in the next second, he suddenly let out an agonizing scream, his abundant Dou Qi dissipating almost instantly.

If anyone had been present, they would have seen blood-colored stripes appearing on Soul Emperor Tian's exposed skin. These stripes slowly spread towards his heart, quickly covering his entire body.

"This is... this is...?!" Soul Emperor Tian looked at the abnormal changes in his body in horror. He could feel these blood-colored stripes devouring his life force and Dou Qi at a terrifyingly rapid pace.

Xiao Yan's face twisted into a slightly morbid smile. Looking at the terrified Soul Emperor Tian, he said softly, "Father, my contingency plan is you."

Soul Emperor Tian glared at Xiao Yan in rage, shouting, "You insolent child, how dare you!!"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly without speaking, instead extending his hand towards Soul Emperor Tian's head.

He had indeed anticipated this situation long ago. After all, that woman Xiao Han had thwarted his plans multiple times. He didn't believe she would refrain from interfering at this crucial moment of his ascension to Dou God, so he had made preparations early on.

A year ago, he had collaborated with the Heaven's Path within him to plant a type of poison in Soul Emperor Tian. This poison, called Blood Poison, was sourced by Heaven's Path from another world. Once successfully implanted, even a high-level Dou Sheng would find it hard to detect. He knew Soul Emperor Tian was wary of him, so it took considerable effort to successfully plant it. Once activated, this poison could bind all the powers of the infected person, rendering them completely defenseless in an instant.

However, there was a time limit; otherwise, this poison would have been invincible. The higher the level, the shorter the binding time. Xiao Yan calculated inwardly that Soul Emperor Tian, as a high-level Dou Sheng with immense Dou Qi, would probably only be bound for two minutes.

As a transmigrator, Xiao Yan had always known the principle that villains die from talking too much. So without further delay, he pressed his hand on Soul Emperor Tian's crown.

The Soul Refining Technique immediately activated. Soul Emperor Tian felt an unbearable tearing pain in his soul. He let out an agonizing scream, fear rising in his heart.

"Xiao Yan! The Soul Clan has treated you well, why do you repay kindness with enmity?!" Even at this point, Soul Emperor Tian couldn't bring himself to beg for mercy, instead shouting angrily.

Hearing Soul Emperor Tian's accusations, Xiao Yan instead revealed a smile and said softly, "Don't worry, Father. I certainly remember the kindness the Soul Clan has shown me. I'm doing all this for the good of the Soul Clan. After all, with an Ancient Clan Dou God out there now, if I don't become a Dou God, the Soul Clan will surely face extinction."

Hearing this, Soul Emperor Tian's eyes widened, filled with resentment and hatred.

Endless soul energy was stripped from Soul Emperor Tian's body, merging into Xiao Yan's. An indescribable sense of comfort surged through his entire being. This feeling was even more satisfying than absorbing and refining the soul of that old fellow Hun Xun.

"As a member of the Soul Clan, Father surely puts the family first in all matters. That being the case, Father must understand my actions," Xiao Yan continued.

Hearing Xiao Yan's utterly shameless words, Soul Emperor Tian trembled with rage, "You... you..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly let out a piercing scream. His entire body visibly shriveled at an alarming rate, turning into a desiccated corpse almost in the blink of an eye.

As the last trace of blood-colored soul energy was extracted, Xiao Yan let out a sigh. He looked down at his own hands, unnaturally pale, and said softly:

"It's not enough."

As soon as he spoke, the blood pool suddenly began to boil. Xiao Yan threw back his head, spreading his arms in an embracing gesture, his body emitting a brilliant blood-colored light.

As Xiao Yan made his move, a fierce and violent aura suddenly erupted from within him. Immediately, this boundless sea of blood surged with massive waves.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The blood sea beneath the dozens of Soul Clan elders guarding its edge surged, directly transforming into blood bubbles that enveloped them. The bubbles then violently contracted. With a series of muffled sounds, their forms instantly exploded into blood mist, merging into the sea of blood below.

These Soul Clan powerhouses hadn't even reacted before becoming nourishment for Xiao Yan.

The blood sea gradually spread, expanding towards the Soul Clan territory.

Faced with the seemingly endless sea of blood, the Soul Clan members remaining in the clan were terrified and panicked. They screamed, trying to escape, but were swallowed by the blood sea in the next second, becoming its nourishment.

In just a moment, the Soul Clan became a blood sea purgatory.

The blood sea churned, and a vortex appeared. Then, a massive blood-colored lotus slowly rose from the sea of blood.

Atop the blood lotus sat a figure, with jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Some strands even fell into the blood sea, floating on its surface like the wings of a demon.

"Intoxicating power..."

Xiao Yan's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, his pupils suffused with a crimson color. The moment he opened his eyes, waves surged across the blood sea.

Feeling the terrifying power within him, Xiao Yan revealed a slightly twisted smile.

This was the power of a Dou God, the pinnacle power of this world!

Fortunately, he had heeded Heaven's Path's advice and removed his original Xiao family bloodline when he became the young master of the Soul Hall, replacing it with the Soul Clan's Dou God bloodline. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate so rapidly.

Moreover, if he hadn't removed the Xiao family bloodline, those weaklings from the Xiao family would surely have gained tremendous benefits when he advanced to Dou God, which was something he was unwilling to see.

Casually waving his sleeve, he raised his eyes towards the direction of the Ancient Clan, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Spirit Emperor Gu Xun'er? Heh, this continent can only accommodate one emperor."

He took a step forward, and in the next second, he vanished from the spot.

"It can only be me, Xiao Yan!"

"Blood Emperor, Xiao Yan!"

The moment Xiao Yan became a Dou God, everyone in the Central Plains felt it. But no one felt particularly tense. So what if the Soul Clan had produced a Dou God? They had two Dou God on their side!

Gu Xun'er didn't share this view. Xiao Han had once taught her that even a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit, let alone facing a Dou God of equal rank. However, even so, Gu Xun'er didn't believe she would lose.

Without warning, the space in front of her rippled, and Xiao Han in her crimson-patterned silver robe slowly walked out from the spatial rift.

Seeing Xiao Han, Gu Xun'er's eyes lit up. She waved her hand to repel the attacking puppets and eagerly rushed towards Xiao Han, "Senior Sister!"

Xiao Han raised her arms to catch Gu Xun'er, a smile finally appearing on her usually cold face, "Xun'er."

Xiao Han had been gone for only a few days, but to Gu Xun'er, it felt like years since they had last met. She had many things she wanted to tell her, but she also knew that now was not the time for conversation.

Seemingly perceiving her thoughts, Xiao Han released Gu Xun'er and raised her hand to gently pat her head.

"Xun'er, I'll leave Xiao Yan... to you," Xiao Han said.

Gu Xun'er didn't understand why Xiao Han would let her face Xiao Yan alone. Although she didn't know exactly how powerful Xiao Han was now, she could vaguely sense that Xiao Han's current strength had surpassed the limits of this world. Even a Dou God might not be able to withstand a single strike from her.

But she didn't ask further, only nodding solemnly.

Senior Sister must have her reasons for doing this. She only needed to trust in her Senior Sister.

The girl's obedience was endearing. Xiao Han couldn't help but lean down to kiss the corner of her lips, activating the Tribulation Lightning within her body.

Gu Xun'er felt a tingling sensation spreading from her palm. She looked down and found her body covered in a fine layer of blood-colored lightning.

Xiao Han lowered her head, pressing her forehead against Gu Xun'er's, and said softly, "Don't worry, Xun'er. I've sealed that strange thing inside Xiao Yan. Now he's just an ordinary Dou God. You can fight without worry. I'll take care of everything else."

Gu Xun'er's eyes sparkled as she nodded.

Seeing this, the system couldn't help but interject: [Host, this is... According to the rules, you shouldn't intervene. Only by defeating Xiao Yan personally can Gu Xun'er reclaim the world's fortune from him.]

[Did I intervene?] Xiao Han replied calmly.

[Uh...] The system looked at the Tribulation Lightning on Gu Xun'er's body and dared not speak further.

Xiao Han raised her head, looking towards the distant horizon where a viscous sea of blood had appeared at some point. A familiar yet repulsive aura gradually intensified.

Soon, Xiao Han saw Xiao Yan emerging from the blood sea.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was enveloped in a thick, bloody aura, dressed in blood-red robes. It was unclear whether this was their original color or if they had been dyed by fresh blood. His face was unnaturally pale, and his blood-red eyes were filled with a murderous aura.

But Xiao Han wasn't looking at him. She was looking through him, at the black substance entangled like a web around his meridians and internal organs.

As if sensing Xiao Han's gaze, the black substance trembled slightly, then slowly began to writhe.

Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged. She merely moved her finger slightly, and the black substance froze in place, not daring to move.

"What is a child of fortune, a world's favorite?" Xiao Han suddenly asked the system.

The system hesitated, seemingly not expecting Xiao Han to ask such a question. But Xiao Han wasn't really seeking an answer. She paused briefly, then continued slowly:

"It's fortune that others can't envy, opportunities and backing."

"Of course I didn't intervene."

"I merely gave Xun'er some fortuitous encounters, some support."

"Is there a problem with that?"

"I am her greatest fortune."
