Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, even the Undying Lord and the others were visibly moved. The reason why the Great Thousand World hadn't launched a counteroffensive against the Extraterritorial Evil Race for so many years was due to their fear of those apex experts. But now, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor and the others had been seriously injured, and one of the top Demon Emperors had fallen. By all accounts, this was indeed the best opportunity to act against the Extraterritorial Evil Race.
However, what Xiao Yan proposed was simply too astonishing. While they understood that Xiao Yan wasn't the kind to make light of such a matter, the stakes were too high for them to accept it outright. If this turned out to be a trap laid by the enemy, they could end up becoming sinners of the Great Thousand World.
"I understand how you all feel. You can return and think it over. If you find my proposal viable, you may contact me at any time." Xiao Yan wasn't surprised to see hesitation on the faces of the Azure-robed Sword Saint and the others. "However, my projected best window is within one year. If you decide to go through with it, please notify me within that time. A year from now, even if you still wish to act, I won't agree anymore."
"Very well," the Undying Lord and the others nodded. A year would be enough for them to verify whether the current situation of the Extraterritorial Evil Race was as Xiao Yan claimed. While that place was far from the Great Thousand World, individuals of their level and influence weren't without means. At the very least, it wasn't impossible to extend their reach and gather intelligence.
After seeing off the Undying Lord and his group, Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward the spectators watching from afar. When those people met Xiao Yan's eyes, they quickly retreated, terrified he might make a move against them. After all, they had just witnessed firsthand how terrifying he was—he had completely obliterated even a super force like the Maha Ancient Clan. What chance did they have?
But Xiao Yan clearly had no interest in dealing with these idle onlookers. After a single glance, he turned and returned to the Endless Fire Domain, where he began handling the Maha experts who had been captured earlier. For these individuals, he had no patience to play games with offers of surrender. With a wave of his hand, he turned them all into puppets.
The annihilation of the Maha Ancient Clan was, without doubt, the most monumental victory in the history of the Endless Fire Domain. Not only did it elevate their prestige throughout the Great Thousand World, but they also gained access to all of the Maha Clan's treasured reserves. Xiao Yan's demonic energy clone had not only desecrated their ancestral burial grounds, but had even moved the entire Maha Continent into the Endless Fire Domain. That included the legendary Everlasting Tower.
This Everlasting Tower was the supreme treasure left behind by the Immortal Emperor, and within it resided the Eternal Immortal Body, ranked fourth on the Supreme Body Ranking of ninety-nine levels. Though the Maha Ancient Clan had guarded the tower for tens of thousands of years without obtaining the Eternal Immortal Body, they had complete training methods for the two prerequisite forms needed before reaching that level.
Xiao Yan was naturally intrigued by the Eternal Immortal Body hidden inside. Unfortunately, he couldn't cultivate a Supreme Body, so he handed the opportunity to Mandala. She had recently upgraded from the Great Sun Undying Body to the Immortal Golden Body, and now, she was only one step away from the Eternal Immortal Body. It could be said that fortune had truly landed on her lap.
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't overlook the others either. For example, he handed over the training method for the Maha Limitless Body to Xun'er and the others. Though not a primordial body, its might ranked among the very top in the Great Thousand World. Even the Supreme Bodies cultivated by the likes of the Undying Lord didn't surpass the Maha Limitless Body in power.
As for Xiao Yan himself, after the battle concluded, he returned to the Heavenly Tomb to enter seclusion once more. This one-year window wasn't just for the Undying Lord and the others—it was also a grace period for himself. With the Heavenly Tomb in his possession, a year outside could translate to ten years inside. During this retreat, he planned to break through from the early-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm to the late stage. Even if the Heavenly Evil God were to break free earlier than expected, he would face him without fear.
The management of the Endless Fire Domain was temporarily handed over to Xun'er and the others. To be cautious, Xiao Yan also left behind one of his clones to watch over things, just in case someone foolish attempted to cause trouble in his absence.
In reality, this concern turned out to be unnecessary. After the battle with the Maha Ancient Clan, the Endless Fire Domain had risen to become the foremost force in the Great Thousand World. Everyone knew that no matter how shallow its foundation might be, as long as it had a Domain Lord like Xiao Yan, the Endless Fire Domain was an unrivaled power.
Following this, many factions bowed to the Endless Fire Domain, seeking its protection. They were aware that as long as they clung to this massive ship, they could rest easy in the Great Thousand World. The Ice Spirit Clan even relocated their entire tribe to the vicinity of the Endless Fire Domain, fully treating themselves as a vassal force.
All of this, however, was unknown to Xiao Yan. From the Maha Clan, he had plundered several trillion drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid. Half of that was left for the Endless Fire Domain's development, while the remaining half was reserved for his own breakthrough. He was already at the peak of the early-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm. With his talent, breaking through to the mid-stage wasn't difficult. And with trillions of drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, it was merely a matter of time.
That said, reaching the late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm wasn't something that could be achieved through resources alone. Cultivation wasn't just about stacking spiritual energy—otherwise, the world wouldn't have so few Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan had another ace up his sleeve—the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Sovereign Pill he had refined earlier. With this pill and the massive stockpile of Supreme Spirit Liquid, he had full confidence in his breakthrough to the late stage. Even if he failed to reach it, the peak of the mid-stage realm was well within reach.
And with his monstrous ability to challenge across realms, even at the mid-stage, Xiao Yan could face the joint assault of the thirty-two clan leaders without fear. Not even the Extraterritorial Evil Race could bring out a weapon that could threaten him the way the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle once did. In other words, once Xiao Yan emerged from his seclusion, even if the Undying Lord and the others refused to act, he could still annihilate the Extraterritorial Evil Race on his own.
Truthfully, the only reason he brought them into the fold was to save himself a bit of effort. After all, with so many enemies, cutting them down one by one was bound to be exhausting.
