Among all the heavens, I, Xiao Yan, did not use any cheat codes.

Chapter 42 Speedrun Douluo, Paying Back Some Interest to the Plane Will

In a cave in the Mingdou Mountains, the stronghold of the Death Hand Thieves.

"Boss, disaster has struck!!! Someone's come in outside..."

Before the panicked voice could finish, a pure white flame burned the henchman to ashes from the inside out.

The three Soul Kings deep inside the cave frowned in unison.

Something feels off...

The Grim Reaper's eyes widened instantly. Where had the usually bustling thieves gone?

Before I could even think, I heard a series of leisurely footsteps.

Tap, tap, tap...

As the footsteps drew closer, Xiao Yan appeared inside the cave.

"You are..." Before a Soul King could finish speaking, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, looked up, and saw that the Soul King instantly turned to ashes, powerless to resist.

!! ×2

"Shh!" Making a shushing gesture, Xiao Yan pulled out a thick stack of papers from his pocket.

He flipped through the pages, pulled out a page, and slowly compared it with the two men in front of him who dared not speak out in anger. He nodded in satisfaction.

"The Death's Foot Thieves, is that it?"

"...I wonder what your name is..." As the other Soul King spoke, the Death Messenger released five Soul Rings, quietly protecting him in front of him, while his gaze fell on some corpses on the ground, secretly gathering his strength.

"The dead don't need to know so much." Xiao Yan smiled kindly, and flames surged, instantly transforming into his Dharma body form.

The six soul rings slowly bloomed from his body.

Red, red, red, red, red!

Six 100,000-year soul rings overlapped behind him, transforming into a fiery wheel of pure crimson gold, upon which six fiery cloud patterns bloomed.

"!!!" ×2

"Six, six hundred-thousand-year soul rings?!" The Death Messenger was shocked. Xiao Yan's smile seemed like a demon's grin to him. He couldn't care less about anything else. The soul rings shone brightly, and he activated the Corpse Explosion Technique in an instant.

Immediately following this was the act of using their companions as human bombs and escaping at lightning speed.

In an instant, the corpse on the ground rapidly expanded, and energy fluctuated violently.

"As expected of the most overpowered X-Explosion Technique in Douluo Continent, but unfortunately, I am not a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult."

With his eyes closed, Xiao Yan sensed the fluctuations and smiled slightly. Then, to the astonishment of the Death Messenger, he made a grasping motion with one hand.

The next instant, the reddening and enlarging corpse abruptly stopped.

Xiao Yan slowly pushed forward with his large hand, and the fire cloud pattern at the top of the fire ring on his back shone brightly.

Endless flames erupted from his body, illuminating the cave.

A world of flames has replaced the original cave.

As Xiao Yan's thoughts shifted, the entire world became his domain.

Sixth Soul Skill: Endless Fire Domain!

The soul skill, condensed from the essence of several fire-attribute and space-attribute soul beasts, allows Xiao Yan to transform into a domain, manifesting beyond the Bitter Sea and forming a world of his own.

"So this is all the First Soul King is made of."

Blinking, Xiao Yan looked at the Death Messenger who had been burned to nothingness and happily withdrew his domain.

When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength.

He didn't want to end up like Xuanzi, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, a dignified level 98 Super Douluo who was toyed with by a level 50 Soul King.

This is outrageous!

With a wave of his hand, he extracted the fragments of memory left behind after the Death Messenger was incinerated. Piecing them together with information from the evil soul masters he had killed in the past few days, Xiao Yan's figure turned into sparks and dissipated.

In a desolate mountain range within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a dazzling complex of buildings sits atop the main peak, its crimson glazed tiles shimmering with golden light.

The mountain range is entirely golden-red in color, which is very eye-catching. What is most surprising is that the entire mountain range seems to be formed from flames, but there is no trace of high temperature.

In the center of the complex is a plaza, upon which stands a peach tree. The entire mountain is imbued with an exceptionally rich fire-attribute elemental energy, and its branches and leaves sway, releasing a fragrant aroma.

At the mountain gate, two large, elegant characters are prominently displayed.

【Flame Alliance】

As the flames flickered, Xiao Yan's figure materialized within the slowly burning flames of the main hall.

Feeling as if blessed by heaven and earth, Xiao Yan was reluctant to leave this place.

Originally, Xiao Yan could be considered to be blessed with good fortune in the Dou Qi Continent, but after arriving in the Douluo Continent, he felt that the entire world was his help. The laws of fire were at his disposal, and his existence was as if it were a kind of authority.

This was unprecedented in the Dou Qi Continent, after all, he was only a minor Dou Shi.

But here, when the time is right, the world lends its strength. Xiao Yan felt that if he were still on the Dou Qi Continent, he would have the same fighting power as on the Douluo Continent, and he would even dare to challenge a Dou Zong.

Unfortunately, apart from the abilities engraved in the Dharma body, the power bestowed by heaven and earth cannot be taken away.

It feels like a celestial mark that covers the sky, or the authority of some deity, dependent on the world.

Xiao Yan only expressed his regret verbally. The gains he had made since arriving in Douluo Continent had far exceeded his expectations. He had experienced the so-called realm of "I am the law" ahead of time, which would be of great help to his future cultivation.

Even if he could become the greatest of all time by continuing his cultivation here, Xiao Yan would not be reluctant to leave.

What's the point of ruling over a small puddle? To truly dominate, one must soar like a bird in the sky or plunge into the ocean like a dragon, reigning supreme in a wider world for eternity.

It would be nice to come back later and try out the creative mode again.

"Alliance Leader, you're back?" The peach tree branches trembled slightly, and a young man in a blue and red robe emerged from them. He was none other than the Crimson Sun Peach Tree, which was named Crimson Emperor.

Xiao Yan came to his senses and nodded slightly.

Even after all this time, he still felt that this guy was a bit too immature.

However, considering the polarized names of soul beasts across the Douluo Continent—some extremely childish, others extremely arbitrary—Xiao Yan felt relieved.

Calling him the Red Emperor is better than calling him Peach.

"I'll go to Xingdou later and chat with those ferocious beasts. If you want, we can go see the Crimson King together." Remembering that the Crimson Emperor shared the same name as someone, Xiao Yan casually waved his hand. He had sensed something chasing him before, and after trying to shake it off for a few days without success, he had temporarily left. Now he could go and take a look again.

Over the past six months, I've wandered all over the continent, visited all sorts of volcanoes, and found many hidden 100,000-year-old soul beasts and various rare super soul beasts in all sorts of nooks and crannies.

When it comes to communicating with those who are able to, Xiao Yan usually first shows off his muscles before engaging in a proper conversation. In exchange for helping them temper their bloodlines and flames, he absorbs a large amount of their essence and uses the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements to condense a soul ring.

If they can't communicate and resort to violence, then Xiao Yan can only eat with tears in his eyes.

His fifth spirit ring was formed by combining the essence of a 100,000-year-old Nirvana Red Lotus with the essence of other spirit beasts.

He uses the primordial fire as a coordinate, switching positions back and forth within it. In his Dharma body state, as long as a wisp of flame remains, he can be reborn instantly.

Thus, he also gained the courage to do something big.

"Old Tao, I'm leaving this place to you. You know how this mountain was built. If necessary, just blow it up. The fire core I left behind can protect you during your relocation."

The evil soul masters on the Douluo Three Kingdoms side have been almost wiped out; they've all been eliminated from the list provided by Ma Xiaotao. Xiao Yan plans to go check on the other side, and before leaving, he'll take one last trip back to Xingdou.

Let's not keep Ma Xiaotao as a burden; let her focus on her cultivation.

Having received so many benefits from Douluo Continent, they still have to pay some interest to the will of the plane.

Looking up at the sky, Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

Let that person experience what it feels like to have their head on fire.
