Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 250: Emperor Realm Soul, I have a friend.
In the Heavenly Tomb, when the last day of the second month arrived, many energy bodies sighed secretly, because the old figure in the sky had faded as if transparent. However, even so, the old man was still waiting quietly. An obsession protected him, who was on his last legs, and remained in the world.

"It seems that we can't wait any longer."

In the silent world, the transparent figure swayed slightly. Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, but there was some regret in his eyes.

"Little guy, I feel relieved that the Xiao clan has you. Goodbye."

Xiao Xuan's eyes slowly closed, and his body became increasingly faint.

"boom!"

However, just when Xiao Xuan's body was about to disappear into thin air, the space of this tomb suddenly trembled violently, and a wave that seemed to dominate the heaven and earth spread out rapidly. Wherever this wave passed, almost all energy bodies could not help but crawl down. That kind of pressure was irresistible!

Feeling this wave, Xiao Xuan's eyes, which were about to dissipate, finally showed a hint of relief.

"Descendant Xiao Yan, respectfully bids farewell to our ancestor!"

Amidst those countless shocked gazes, a breathtaking thousand-foot tall figure quickly emerged in the sky, and then slowly knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Xuan.

And Tong Rui also bowed slightly behind the screen, touching his chest for Xiao Xuan, who was once the strongest man in the current continent but is now willing to sacrifice himself for future generations.

The thousand-foot figure seemed to be standing on a tripod between heaven and earth. Under that figure, all the energy bodies in the Heavenly Tomb were trembling. That terrifying pressure almost made their bodies explode.

In the sky, Xiao Xuan's body finally completely vanished, and his old eyes were filled with relief as they disappeared.

After Xiao Xuan's body turned into nothingness, the huge figure was still kneeling on one knee between heaven and earth. After a long time, the huge body slowly shrank, and finally turned into a normal size, standing quietly in the sky.

"Ancestor."

Xiao Yan looked at the place where Xiao Xuan disappeared and murmured softly. He then stretched out his palm and gently clenched the empty space. As his palm clenched, an invisible light spot that ordinary people could not see appeared in his hand. This was Xiao Xuan's life mark. This kind of life mark could only be seen by the strong people whose souls had entered the emperor realm. Otherwise, even if his own fighting spirit had reached the late nine-star fighting saint, he would not be able to sense this mysterious existence.

From a certain perspective, Xiao Xuan is now basically dead. The strongest man who once dominated the Douqi Continent has completely disappeared from this world. However, this is not the case for Xiao Yan, whose soul has entered the emperor realm. This life mark may be able to give Xiao Xuan life again, but even Xiao Yan, whose soul has entered the emperor realm, cannot do this. Perhaps, he will be able to do it when he truly advances to the legendary Doudi realm in the future.

But no matter what, this is always a kind of hope. Although it is far away, it keeps people’s hearts burning.

In the palm of his hand, the invisible mark of life slowly rose, and then drilled into the center of Xiao Yan's brow, guarded by his soul power as vast as the heaven and earth. Perhaps, a long time later, this old man who gave everything for the Xiao clan would be able to appear in the world again.

"Ah Xing, it is recorded that after reaching the Emperor Realm, one can observe a person's life mark. It is speculated that after reaching the Emperor Realm, one can revive a person based on the life mark."

"It has been recorded in the database of the heavens. But it is calculated according to the Supreme Heaven."

After putting away the life mark, Xiao Yan let out a breath of excitement, lowered his head, and took a look at the world of Tianmu. Although only two months had passed here, and even less than half a month in Zhongzhou, he had spent nearly two years in the tomb of Tianmu.

It took him two years to completely refine the soul of the Heavenly Tomb. Fortunately, the time in the Heavenly Tomb had changed. Otherwise, when he came out of seclusion in these two years, the outside world would not know what it had become.

"Emperor Realm Soul."

Xiao Yan clenched his palms slightly and looked into the distance. A strange state of mind rose from his heart. It felt as if the entire Tianma space was under his control.

"burst!"

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and suddenly grabbed lightly at the void space. A stone mountain tens of thousands of feet away suddenly exploded into powder without any warning. His soul power, along with the turning of his mind, spread to every corner of the Sky Tomb. The range of this spread was almost countless times stronger than that of the previous Xiao Yan. As long as his soul spread to a place, his attack would be able to be transmitted thousands of miles away and launched in an instant.

The soul in the imperial realm is one step away from the great perfection in the heavenly realm, one is heaven and the other is earth.

There is no comparison between the two. Only by truly experiencing the power of the Emperor Realm can one understand why this barrier of the sky cannot be crossed even if one devotes one's entire life to it, because there is a huge difference between the two.
One is God and the other is mortal!
"Maybe it's time to leave."

Xiao Yan was hanging in the sky, Xiao Xuan had dispersed, and there was no reason for him to linger in this Sky Tomb anymore. However, because he had refined and devoured the soul of the Sky Tomb, Xiao Yan could feel that he had absolute control over this space.

In other words, even if he left the ancient world in the future, he could easily open a space channel to the Heavenly Tomb from anywhere, and if others wanted to tear the space crack to enter the Heavenly Tomb, they had to get his permission. From a certain perspective, Xiao Yan was like the master of the Heavenly Tomb, and he had the final say on who could enter and who could leave.
Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised by this additional gift. Although with his current strength, the rich energy of the Sky Tomb did not have much effect on him, the time difference with Zhongzhou was extremely tempting. After all, it could greatly improve the efficiency of cultivation, which would be a great help to him and the forces under his command.

"It saves me the trouble of building the space myself."

Xiao Yan smiled, and was quite satisfied with this additional gift. After all, if he were allowed to create the space by himself, he would not have such a strange ability, because this ability belonged to the Dou Di strongmen.

Restraining the emotions in his heart, Xiao Yan lightly drew a line in the air in front of him with his finger, and a space crack appeared. He swept his eyes across the space again, and then stepped into it. The space squirmed for a while, and then he disappeared under the gaze of countless eyes.

In the ancient world, in the sky above the vast mountains, several figures stood in the air, all looking at the space in front of them with slightly wrinkled eyes that was rippling slowly like water waves.

"Chief Gu Yuan, what's going on?" Lei Ying looked at Gu Yuan beside him and asked in surprise.

"The half-month time is up. If Xiao Yan doesn't come out, the Soul Clan might really kill his father." Yan Jin on the side also spoke up. Ever since Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Tomb, there has been no sign of him coming out, and the time agreed with the Soul Clan is almost up.

"The Heavenly Tomb has been closed, and the space channel here has also been completely blocked. I tried to open the channel earlier, but was bounced back by a force. It feels as if the Heavenly Tomb now has an owner."

Gu Yuan frowned, but what he said shocked everyone. The owner of this Heavenly Tomb was only one person, the Doudi strongman who created it. For so many years, it has been in an ownerless state. Although they had thought about refining it, they all failed in the end. The space created by the Doudi strongman was far beyond their control. Therefore, when they heard Gu Yuan's words, even with their concentration, they couldn't help but feel unbelievable, but they also understood that with Gu Yuan's ability, it was impossible for him to perceive it wrongly.

"Then Brother Xiao Yan..." Xun'er, who was standing next to Gu Yuan, looked a little pale with her pretty face because of Gu Yuan's words. She was not interested in knowing whether the Heavenly Tomb had a master or not, but... Xiao Yan was still inside. If Gu Yuan could not open the space channel, how could Xiao Yan come back?

"I will try again."

Gu Yuan's expression was also a little gloomy. With his strength, even if a mysterious master really appeared in the tomb that day, he would not be able to completely stop him from entering!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan's handprint changed, and suddenly the energy between heaven and earth roared up, and then quickly transformed into a huge energy hand thousands of feet in the sky, and then grabbed the rippling space fiercely. The huge shadow covered the nearby mountains.

The giant energy palm was extremely fast and appeared in the space in almost a flash. However, just when the former was about to hit the space, the speed of the latter's wave suddenly became violent. Then, a wave spread out rapidly from it and collided heavily with the giant palm, actually shaking away Gu Yuan's attack.

The sudden change almost made everyone sluggish. How powerful was Gu Yuan? This was the strongest person in the world. Even if they were as strong as Lei Ying and Yan Jin, they would have to go all out to resist his attack. However, it was just a wave, and it actually shattered them?

"This is... soul fluctuation? How is it possible?"

The shock lasted for a moment, and Lei Ying and Yan Jin also came to their senses and exclaimed, "How terrifying must the soul power be to be able to repel Gu Yuan's palm just by using soul fluctuations?"

"Things have changed, set up the formation!"

The expressions of the three immortals of the ancient clan who were not far behind Gu Yuan suddenly became solemn. With a low shout, many powerful men of the ancient clan flew out from the surrounding mountains, and their fighting spirit quickly gathered together.

"I wonder who you are, master? This is the ancient clan. We are just here to pick you up and leave. We don't have any other plans!" After the formation was set up, Gu Dao's face was still solemn and he shouted loudly.

As soon as Gu Dao's voice fell, a space passage suddenly appeared slowly in the rippling space, and then a figure slowly walked out under the nervous gazes of many powerful ancient clans.

"Well, if we want to pick someone up, this battle will be too big, right?"

When that figure stepped out of the space passage, he saw at a glance the large formation in the sky and the powerful men of the ancient clan who were waiting solemnly all over the mountains and plains. His expression suddenly became wonderful.

"Xiao Yan?!"

Looking at the figure walking out of the space channel, everyone else was also stunned.

“Previously, a master had a fight with the clan leader, and we are…” Gu Dao breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to let everyone relax a little, and smiled at Xiao Yan. However, before he finished his voice, he saw a look of shock suddenly appear on Gu Yuan’s face, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Were you the one who attacked earlier?"

Gu Yuan stared at Xiao Yan intently, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

After hearing this, everyone including Xun'er, Yan Jin, Lei Ying and the others were instantly stunned. However, Xiao Yan's answer made the stunned look even more intense.

"Well, it seems so."

"Emperor Realm Soul. How is that possible?"

Many eyes stared blankly at the young figure walking out of the space channel. Even with Gu Yuan's concentration, he couldn't help but look incredulous at this moment. Although the emperor realm soul was not as terrifying as the real Doudi strongman.

But no matter what, this is always related to it. You know, even those as strong as Yan Jin and Lei Ying, who have reached the eight-star Dou Sheng level, have never reached this level of soul power. And they also remember very clearly that half a month ago, Xiao Yan's soul was still in the great perfection of the heavenly realm.

Half a month, what can be done in half a month? A small practice can quickly consume half a month. However, during this half month, Xiao Yan's soul power has undergone an almost earth-shaking change!
Looking at the sudden silence around him, Xiao Yan, who had just come out of the Sky Tomb, couldn't help but shook his head. Although only half a month had passed in the outside world, nearly two years had passed for him in the Sky Tomb. So others found this incredible, but he was not that surprised. Two years of training, coupled with the vast and infinite soul power of the Sky Tomb Soul, made it not too difficult to imagine that he could reach this realm.

"How did you do it?" Yan Jin licked his lips and finally couldn't help but speak. Although they did not major in the cultivation of souls, they have practiced for so many years after all. But now their souls are still stuck in the realm of great perfection in the heavenly realm, and no one knows how far they are from the emperor realm soul.

"It's a blessing from our ancestor Xiao Xuan." Xiao Yan said, but he didn't go into too much detail.

Hearing this, Yan Jin and Lei Ying were both stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Their admiration for that person was extremely strong. He was worthy of being the strongest man in the Douqi Continent. Even after so many years of death, he still possessed such terrifying abilities.

"Have you found a way to resurrect Xiao Xuan?" Gu Yuan gradually calmed down, glanced at the space behind Xiao Yan, and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said softly: "The remaining soul of the ancestor has dissipated in the Heavenly Tomb."

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Yan, and sighed after a moment. Although he didn't know what happened to Xiao Yan in the Heavenly Tomb, he believed that the improvement of his soul realm should have something to do with the dissipation of Xiao Xuan's soul.

Thinking of this, his expression became a little complicated. His relationship with Xiao Xuan was full of competition but also friendship between men. He knew that if Xiao Xuan was not the patriarch of the Xiao clan, the two of them would most likely become close friends. Unfortunately, their identities meant that they could not act on their own will. In their hearts, race always came first.

"However, regarding the resurrection of our ancestors, I have a plan."

"Are you serious?" Gu Yuan said in shock. Others like Yan Jin, Lei Ying and others were also very shocked. After all, if a remnant soul that had been dead for thousands of years could be resurrected, then doesn't that mean that there is no one in this world that Xiao Yan cannot resurrect!

"Yes, I can't be resurrected by myself, but I have a friend."
