Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 259 Escape
The dazzling flames illuminated the space that seemed to have been dark for ten thousand years. However, compared to the flames, Xiao Yan could not help but feel a chill all over his body. The source of the chill was the huge monster in the dark space below!
It was a creature that was too huge to describe. It hovered in the dark void, motionless. Xiao Yan's sight followed its body, but when his sight was blocked by the dark space in the distance, he still could not see its end.

This mysterious creature has a purple-gold color all over its body. Its body is covered with cold scales, and a feeling of vigor and steel arises spontaneously.

Xiao Yan was suspended in the void. With his eyes, he could not see its entire appearance. It was enough to imagine how incredibly large this creature was. This was the first time Xiao Yan had seen a creature of this size in all these years!
Even though decades of experience had already given Xiao Yan great self-control, even he would probably feel horrified when he suddenly discovered that the dark space beneath him was occupied by such a gigantic creature that could swallow up the sky and the earth.

Who could have expected that in this lifeless and silent space, there would be such a terrifying creature!

"Gulu!"

Xiao Yan's throat rolled unconsciously, and even a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He carefully looked at the huge creature lurking below, but even with his eyesight, he could not guess what kind of creature it was.

“It’s not a good place to stay for long.”

Now that he had learned that the ancient emperor's cave was indeed hidden at the bottom of this magma world, Xiao Yan began to consider retreating. Although the huge creature below was silent and seemed dead, the emperor's soul made Xiao Yan feel a hint of danger. This breath was no less than that of Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan!

It is better not to stay in a place like this for too long. The safest way is to gather people and let Gu Yuan go with you in the future to explore the ancient emperor's cave!
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan slowly retreated. However, just when he had taken dozens of steps back, he suddenly felt that the body of the huge creature below him suddenly shook slightly.

Although this shaking was extremely subtle, Xiao Yan's pupils constricted. He understood that with his strength, it was impossible for him to have an illusion. So, there was obviously only one answer, and that was that this mysterious creature was alive!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan’s retreat speed suddenly increased!

"laugh!"

Just as Xiao Yan was retreating violently, in the dark void, a pair of huge eyes that had been closed for a long time suddenly opened!

This pair of eyes was a light red, with overlapping pupils. This pair of eyes alone was hundreds of times larger than Xiao Yan's entire body!
As soon as the pair of eyes opened, they locked onto Xiao Yan. At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure directly enveloped Xiao Yan, causing his retreat speed to suddenly slow down!
Xiao Yan's expression changed as his body was enveloped by the terrifying pressure. He exerted his full strength of the Emperor Realm Soul, which alleviated the feeling of being stuck in a quagmire.

"Can a tomb raider hold an ancient jade?"

When Xiao Yan's soul power surged, the space suddenly shook, and a sound that made the space tremble suddenly rang out.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists slightly. He glanced at the pair of huge eyes in the darkness. At this moment, those eyes were staring at him with coldness and indifference. There was no fluctuation in their eyes.

"I just strayed in by mistake. Please forgive me if I have caused any trouble to you. I will leave immediately!" Xiao Yan bowed towards the pair of eyes and said in a deep voice.

"No ancient jade?" Upon hearing this, another voice sounded in the space. At this time, Xiao Yan seemed to see some disappointment and cold murderous intent from those giant eyes.

"not good!"

As soon as he felt this emotion, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed drastically. He no longer cared about anything else. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire covered his body, and his bone wings extended behind him. He then retreated rapidly!

"If not, then stay!" The indifferent voice sounded again, and then the whole space suddenly shook. A dazzling purple-gold beam of light broke through the darkness, pierced through the void, and shot towards Xiao Yan fiercely.

"Moo!"

Upon seeing the mysterious creature launching an attack, Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold. His hand seals changed, and a huge soul figure emerged from his body. He opened his mouth, and a terrifying soul shock wave swept out like an overwhelming force. The next moment, it collided fiercely with the purple-gold light column!
"Boom!"

Between the loud noise, a storm exploded in the space.

"Moo! Moo!"

The storm swept through, but the purple light was still there. Xiao Yan's Emperor Soul Yellow Springs Sky Wrath was still unable to defeat it. At that moment, his eyes became even more solemn, and his hand seals changed. Another two fierce soul sound waves surged out.

"Boom!"

Two soul sound waves hit the purple light heavily. This time, they finally dispersed it, but Xiao Yan was also shocked by the remaining force and retreated a thousand feet.

"This big guy has such terrifying strength!"

After the contact, Xiao Yan felt a surge of fear in his heart. It was just a random attack, but he needed to use all his strength to block it. The strength of this mysterious creature must be no weaker than Emperor Hun Tian, ​​Gu Yuan and others!

"Emperor Soul!" In the dark void, the mysterious creature's voice contained a hint of surprise.

Xiao Yan had no time to pay attention to it. Taking advantage of the thrust, he flew back to the space from which he came.

"call out!"

However, just as Xiao Yan was rushing forward, a fierce gust of wind suddenly surged behind him. When he turned his eyes, he saw a flashing purple-gold light, which actually condensed into a strange light mark, and then smashed towards Xiao Yan.

"damn it!"

Feeling the terrifying power contained in the light seal, Xiao Yan's face changed color again. He spun his palms, and two six-colored fire lotuses of destructive power condensed out. Then he threw them towards the light seal without looking back.

"Boom!"

The Fire Lotus of Destruction exploded above the light seal, and the fire waves surged. However, it did not cause the light seal to shake at all. Immediately, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the light seal and blasted towards Xiao Yan as fast as lightning.

When the beam of light was shot out, Xiao Yan was also alert. He quickly turned around and waved his hands. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire quickly condensed into a pink crystal layer in front of him.

"Crack, click, click!"

The light beam arrived in the blink of an eye and hit directly on the layers of pink flame crystals. Immediately, the crystal layers collapsed bit by bit. The light beam destroyed the originally extremely hard flame crystal layers almost like a rotten wood. Then, it hit Xiao Yan's body heavily.

"Puchi!" After suffering a heavy blow, Xiao Yan's face turned red and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body retreated violently again.

"Chichi!"

Xiao Yan's blood stained the light mark not far away, and immediately bursts of hissing sounds broke out.

“Stay and keep me company.” Xiao Yan was defeated with one strike, but the mysterious creature did not intend to let him go. The light seal whistled and chased after him again.

Feeling the strong wind that was locking onto him, Xiao Yan secretly groaned. This guy was too difficult to deal with. He raised his head and looked at the wriggling space in the distance. If he got out of there, he should be able to escape from this guy's pursuit.

"Although you possess an emperor soul, you are only a seven-star Douluo. Wouldn't it be a joke if I let you escape?" Just when Xiao Yan was slightly delighted at the short distance, the space above his head suddenly squirmed, and a light seal broke through the air directly from it, and then smashed down hard on Xiao Yan's head. Judging from the situation, if he was hit, even Xiao Yan would be injured.

However, just as the light mark was about to hit, the blood that had originally adhered to it suddenly evaporated a lot, and finally only a trace of golden blood remained, flowing along the light mark.

"Buzz!"

Just as the golden blood emerged, the mysterious creature lurking in the darkness suddenly trembled its huge body, and a familiar feeling broke through the shackles brought by sleep and spread throughout its body.

"Buzz!"

The light mark suddenly stopped when it was still several feet away from Xiao Yan's head, but the strong wind pressure still caused the space around Xiao Yan to explode.

The sudden scene startled Xiao Yan, who was originally prepared to fight to the death. Then his eyes flashed, and his figure turned into a stream of light and rushed out. After a few flashes, he appeared at the end of the space. He moved his body, quickly rushed in, and then disappeared.

As Xiao Yan walked away and disappeared, the light mark never chased him again. In the darkness, a pair of huge eyes showed a long-lasting confusion as they stared at the golden blood remaining on the light mark.

Suddenly, in the silent space, a shrieking sound like the sound of shaking the earth rang out. The huge body that seemed to have been entrenched for a thousand years suddenly surged and then violently crashed into the space. However, facing its desperate collision, this space was faintly fluorescent, making the space as solid as a cage...

"Emperor Tuoshe, you bastard!"

After a long collision to no avail, the mysterious creature suddenly turned its head, staring fiercely at the ancient stone door floating in the space with its giant eyes. Its unwilling roar echoed endlessly in this space!
However, in the face of its roar, the ancient stone gate remained silent, as if it had been like this forever!
"boom!"

At the bottom level of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, in the passage leading to the magma world, magma suddenly gushed out, and then a figure, slightly embarrassed, rushed out in the astonished gaze of Xun'er and others.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Seeing that figure, Xun'er's pretty face suddenly changed slightly and she hurried forward.

"It's okay." Xiao Yan's figure flashed and he landed, wiping a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the magma channel with a serious gaze and couldn't help clenching his fists. He didn't expect that at the bottom of the magma, there would be such a terrifying existence.

"What's going on?" Su Qian, Mang Tianchi and others were also frightened by Xiao Yan's appearance and asked in shock. They were very clear about Xiao Yan's current strength, but even he was so embarrassed now. What kind of terrible thing was there at the bottom of the magma?

“Old Mang, inform Clan Leader Gu Yuan and the others that the news has been confirmed.” Xiao Yan’s face was solemn, and he immediately said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Mang Tianchi and the others' faces trembled violently, and their hearts could not help but beat violently. He understood the importance of the matter and did not dare to neglect it. He turned around and left in a hurry to pass on the information to Gu Yuan and the others.

"Is the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion really at the bottom of the magma?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded, and then roughly recounted what happened at the bottom of the magma. When Xun'er and others heard that in the space at the bottom of the magma, there actually existed a mysterious creature that was comparable to the strong men like Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, their faces couldn't help but change drastically.

"Fortunately, the mysterious creature seems unable to leave that space, otherwise, there would be some big trouble today." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and said with a little relief. Judging from the strength displayed by the big guy, if it broke out, no one here would be able to subdue it.

"Next, we will wait for the coalition forces to arrive. If the Soul Clan succeeds again this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance of recovery." Xiao Yan sighed. If Emperor Hun Tian really gets the embryonic Emperor Pill, then maybe he will be able to break through to the Dou Emperor level. By then, no one in the world will be able to compete with him, not even the coalition forces.
Xun'er and others nodded when they heard this. Now, they had no choice but to do so.

In the soul world, inside the main hall.

"You said that the mission failed?" On the first seat in the hall, Emperor Hun Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the trembling figure kneeling below, and said in a faint voice.

"Yes, for some reason, our whereabouts were detected by Xiao Yan and others. Not long after Hun You and others arrived in the Black Horn Region, they were chased by Xiao Yan and others, and they were all killed by Xiao Yan and others." The figure below had cold sweat all over his head, but he was still quite clear when he spoke.

"How did Xiao Yan know their whereabouts?" Emperor Hun Tian said with a slightly gloomy expression.

“Clan leader, Xiao Yan was once a student at the Canaan Academy in the Black Horn Region. This time, the academy probably just sensed danger, so they asked for his help. From my perspective, he definitely doesn’t know our purpose!” the man said hurriedly.

“No, according to my understanding of him, he would not go there without any reason if there is no need. Could it be that Xiao Yan also knows the news that the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion is in the Black Horn Region?” Emperor Hun Tian frowned and said, this is the information they have obtained by putting together the ancient jade with great effort, how could Xiao Yan know it directly?

"Whether he has noticed it or not, we should start to act. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be a heavy blow to us! Delay will lead to unexpected consequences!"

Emperor Hun Tian pondered for a moment and nodded. Obviously, the news of Xiao Yan's appearance in the Black Horn Region made him a little uneasy.

"What about Gu Yuan?" said an old man from the Soul Clan. Recently, Gu Yuan has been monitoring the Soul Clan space. If a large number of strong men come out here, they will definitely be noticed by him.

"I have people build a space channel connecting to the Soul Realm in the northwest region. When the time comes, you will take action and lead your men to the Black Horn Region. As for Gu Yuan, I will hold him back." Emperor Hun Tian said lightly.

"Yes."

"As long as I can get the embryonic form of the emperor pill in the ancient emperor's cave, the so-called coalition forces will be nothing but ants." Emperor Hun Tian raised his head, looked at the sky in the hall, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself.
