Yan's performance on the battlefield soon reached Bibi Dong's ears.

The Wuhun Empire led by Qian Renxue was unstoppable, which made Bibi Dong angry.

She didn't expect that the Xing Luo Empire was so vulnerable.

What shocked her even more was that Yan had actually achieved the achievement of Titled Douluo, and his spirit rings were at least ten thousand years old, with three hundred thousand year spirit rings and one two hundred thousand year spirit ring.

It was late at night and the candlelight was flickering, illuminating Bibi Dong's cold and complex face.

There seemed to be a storm brewing in her eyes, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings that were difficult to describe.

"Yan... the boy who was once just a chess piece in my hand has now grown to this point."

Bibi Dong murmured to herself, her tone showing both surprise and reluctance.

She recalled every detail of Yan, the once unknown but always tenacious child, who had now become a strong man that she had to face up to at a speed she had never expected.

In this world where the strong are respected, strength determines everything.

Yan is still a member of the Spirit Hall, and his rise is undoubtedly a major challenge to the authority she has established over a long period of time.

"I had to stay calm and not let jealousy and anger get the better of me."

Bibi Dong warned herself and tried hard to calm the waves in her heart.

"But how can I allow my light to be overshadowed by him?"

She suddenly opened her eyes, with a determined light flashing in them.

"Anyone who goes against me must die!"

Bibi Dong knew that she had to take action and not let Yan affect her plan to destroy the world.

~~~~~~~
Not long after, Qian Renxue received a letter of peace from the Xing Luo Empire.

Faced with the Wuhun Empire's overwhelming and unstoppable offensive, the Xingluo Empire knew that continued resistance would only bring more casualties and disasters.

Therefore, they are willing to lay down their arms and seek a peaceful solution in exchange for the peace of their people and the survival of their country.

Qian Renxue knew that Xingluo's Crown Prince Dai Mubai and Tang San and others went to the Sea God Island for training, which was just a delaying tactic on their part.

She also knew that if she could win without fighting and gain the territory of the Xingluo Empire at the lowest cost, it would undoubtedly be the best option.

Although war can lead to territorial expansion, it will also consume a large amount of resources and damage countless lives.

More importantly, the newly conquered lands require time to assimilate, and the people's hearts require patience to appease.

Peaceful acceptance can minimize these negative impacts and accelerate the integration of the Wuhun Empire into the Xingluo Empire.

Qian Renxue didn't take Dai Mubai seriously at all. She was confident that she could take over the entire Xingluo Empire.

Therefore, she decided to temporarily put aside the war on the front line and try to listen to the negotiation plan of the Star Luo Empire.

She believed that with her wisdom and skills, she would be able to gain the upper hand in this battle without the smoke of gunpowder and achieve the Wuhun Empire's complete control over the Xingluo Empire.

The fighting in front was suspended, and Yan returned to Wudi City.

The round trip took a total of four months.

In Wudi City, Yan was welcomed like a hero.

His achievements and glory have become a legend among people, inspiring more young soul masters to work hard for the glory of the Wuhun Empire.

Qian Renxue personally welcomed Yan's return and gave high recognition to his performance in the war.

"It was a very correct decision to recruit you. You are even better than I thought. It's great to have you around."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The relationship between them is not like that of a monarch and his subjects, but more like that of friends.

Yan asked:
"How are the negotiations with the Xingluo Empire going?"

"They are willing to cede one-fifth of their land to us in exchange for a year of peace."

“Isn’t one fifth too little?”

"So I didn't agree. The negotiations are still going on." "Yes. Everyone knows that the Xingluo Empire is simply unable to compete with us. The initiative is in our hands."

Qian Renxue smiled complacently.

"Yes, it's only a matter of time before we take down the Xingluo Empire. If we can really win without fighting as you said, that would be the best."

"I may not be able to help you with the negotiation. You should make your own decision."

"What? Are you going to practice in seclusion again?"

"Yeah. I want to break through level 95 as soon as possible."

There will be no war in the short term, and Yan is ready to challenge the second test of the God of Fire.

"Then you should practice well."

Qian Renxue looked at Yan, her eyes full of admiration.

She knew that Yan's current achievements were no accident, but also because of his indomitable spirit and strong will.

Over the years, Qian Renxue has worked very hard. She has been taking care of the plans for the Spirit Hall while practicing diligently.

A year ago, Yan gave her a magical herb.

After taking the magic herb, her soul power increased even faster.

Now, her soul power is about to break through level eighty.

Although there is still a big gap between her and Yan, she did not give up the pursuit.

She wanted to shorten the distance between herself and Yan as much as possible.

Yan knew that Qian Renxue would be the one to inherit the angel godhood.

Although her main energy is now focused on the great cause of unifying the Douluo Continent and she has no time to take care of other things, Yan believes that this is only temporary.

Once the time is ripe, Qian Renxue will let go of all constraints and devote herself wholeheartedly to the inheritance of angel gods, and eventually become the brilliant angel god to protect the peace and tranquility of this continent.

~~~~~~~
After adjusting his state, Yan once again entered the secret realm of the God of Fire - the Endless Fire Domain.

As the golden-red light curtain descended, Yan saw the content of the second test of the God of Fire: the Fiery Purgatory.

The duration of this assessment is one month.

Yan will enter a flaming canyon in the endless fire domain and face all kinds of ferocious beasts there.

During this period, he could not use any spirit ring and spirit bone skills, and could only use the most basic martial spirit power and fire element.

Such restrictions make the challenges Yan faces even more brutal than in the killing fields of hell.

Although it was dangerous, he was somewhat excited.

He knew that the more brutal the test, the more it would stimulate the potential in his heart and allow him to create more killing moves similar to his own soul skills.

As the golden-red light curtain slowly dissipated, Yan's figure was instantly enveloped by a warm and hot force. Then the scene in front of him changed, and he found himself in a flaming canyon.

This flaming canyon is extremely terrifying.

Everywhere you look, everything seems to be condensed from pure fire.

The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur and the unique restlessness of the fire element, which made people feel a sense of oppression involuntarily.

From time to time, the roars of wild beasts could be heard in the canyon.

Those ferocious beasts have different shapes.

Some are like flaming lions, covered in blazing flames.

Some are shaped like fire phoenixes, with their wings spread out, bringing up waves of heat.

There are also some unknown ferocious beasts that appear and disappear under the cover of the flames, revealing a threat that should not be underestimated.

"Since I cannot use my spirit rings and spirit bone skills, then let me control fire with fire and conquer this blazing purgatory in the purest way!" (End of this chapter)
