Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 333 So what if he's a half-saint? You just wait and see!

"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"

Looking at the figure that appeared in the passage, Xiao Bai frowned slightly. It wasn't because the person was too troublesome, but because he felt extremely uncomfortable as soon as the person appeared.

Bloodline?

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan's bloodline originates from the ancient Heavenly Phoenix. In ancient times, the Ancient Void Dragon and the ancient Heavenly Phoenix both regarded each other as food. This instinct is deeply ingrained in their bloodline and has been passed down from generation to generation.

"Elder Huang Hong, be careful. This person was originally just a peak Dou Zong, but for some unknown reason, his cultivation suddenly surged. He just killed a nine-star Dou Zun, and his ferocity is at its peak."

When Lei Zun Zhe saw Xiao Bai's gaze coming towards him, he shivered and hurriedly reminded the red-robed old man in front of him.

The red-robed elder, Huang Hong, had a solemn expression and ignored him. He wasn't blind; under the influence of his bloodline, an immense sense of crisis rushed towards him.

His gaze toward Xiao Bai was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but after a moment it seemed he had confirmed something.

"No. You are not a Primordial Dragon; you are human, but you used the essence blood of a Primordial Dragon."

Even so, he was still deeply shocked. What kind of essence blood could have such a powerful aura and elevate a peak Dou Zong to such a level?

"A scruffy bird with the rank of a Seven-Star Dou Zun, and this is your backer?"

Seemingly influenced by the essence of blood, Xiao Bai found Huang Hong somewhat displeasing no matter how he looked at him. He glanced at Lei Yu, chuckled lightly, and gave a sarcastic look.

"Human, do not be arrogant. Your cultivation is temporary. Once your essence blood power disappears, you will still be just a Dou Zong!"

Although Huang Hong was wary of Xiao Bai's imposing aura, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would dare to kill even a real Ancient Void Dragon, let alone an imposter.

"Yes, it will indeed disappear, but before that..."

Xiao Bai paused, a flash of purple-gold light in his eyes, and his tone suddenly sharpened.

"Killing you is enough!"

With a slight lift of his arm, the dragon pattern on his arm suddenly detached from his skin, transforming into a thousand-foot-long purple-gold dragon shadow that soared into the sky.

With a series of dragon roars, carrying a world-destroying power, it hurtled towards Huang Hong and Lei Yu.

Lei Yu's expression changed drastically, and he was horrified. On their side, there was only a three-star Dou Zun and a seven-star Dou Zun, but Xiao Bai's attack seemed to be even more terrifying than the previous moves that killed the Ice River Valley's core members.

The immense energy fluctuations caused the world to change color, and his knees went weak, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

"go!"

Huang Hong's gaze sharpened, and he lifted Lei Zunzhe and dodged to the side.

Yes, hide!

As soon as they left the vicinity of the spatial passage, a loud phoenix cry suddenly came from inside, and the entire sky was instantly dyed crimson gold.

A fiery cloud, obscuring the sky, rolled in, its terrifying pressure causing the recently calm space to tremble once more.

Suddenly, a golden phoenix claw that blotted out the sky emerged from the fiery clouds!

Its claws, wreathed in a terrifying pressure that could change the very fabric of the world, reached straight for the thousand-foot-tall purple-gold dragon shadow.

"boom--"

The dragon shadow and the phoenix claw collided fiercely, instantly creating a huge black hole several miles in diameter. Countless spatial turbulence raged, and the shockwave tore the clouds within a hundred miles to shreds!

"Miss be careful!"

The two black-robed elders of the ancient clan were horrified when they saw the shockwave sweeping towards them. They hurriedly shielded Xun'er and the others behind them and quickly formed hand seals, erecting a thick barrier of battle aura in front of them.

"Crack."

The newly erected barrier lasted only a few breaths before being covered with spiderweb-like cracks in the face of the vast, spreading shockwave.

"Miss, quickly use your self-defense techniques! This energy has exceeded the limit that we two old folks can withstand; we can't hold on for much longer!"

The two men's faces instantly darkened. If anything were to happen to their young lady, just thinking about the consequences, they exchanged a glance and shuddered.

I originally thought that coming out of the Ancient Realm this time would be an easy task. With two six-star Dou Zun powerhouses guarding me in the entire Central Continent, wouldn't it be foolproof?
Even if you encounter someone you can't beat, those powerful individuals all know some of the secrets of the ancient clans, so who wouldn't give them some face!
But then he ran into Xiao Bai, this oddball. Look at the kind of people he's met: either a nine-star Dou Zun or a powerful figure whose cultivation level is impossible to discern.

Just as Xun'er was about to unleash her power, a beam of purple-gold light swept across the shattered barrier, and the terrifying shockwave instantly subsided, like a tamed wild beast.

“Brother Xiao Bai”

"noob."

The two women exchanged a glance, their pale faces showing a sense of relief.

Since Xiao Bai was still able to take care of them at this time, he should be alright.

However, on the other side, a certain figure looked rather disheveled.

"You brat, I told you to stay outside and wait for Xiao Bai to finish dealing with this before entering the Fallen God Ravine, but you wouldn't listen. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong with that kid beforehand, we would have almost fallen in!"

The old man's cursing voice echoed from the ring, his tone seemingly tinged with lingering fear.

"Stop cursing, teacher! Who knew the Phoenix Clan would be so treacherous that day, actually launching a sneak attack!" Xiao Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes still showing shock as he recalled the moment of the outburst.

If the teacher hadn't taken him and Tang Huo'er away beforehand, their great undertaking would have ended in failure.

"Teacher, what level of expert was that just now? He was terrifying!" Xiao Yan calmed himself down, suppressed the shock in his heart, and then asked curiously.

Just as the old apothecary was about to speak, a soft cough echoed through the heavens and earth, giving him the answer.
"Half Saint!"

Xiao Bai's face was slightly pale, his chest heaving violently like a bellows, and several blood vessels on his body had burst, making him look quite miserable.

He had thought that the powerful figure behind the spatial passage would at most be a Dou Zun who had reached the ninth level, but he did not expect it to be a Half-Saint.

"You young human, you're quite good at withstanding my attack. Even if you relied on the power of your blood essence, you have reason to be proud!"

A majestic voice echoed from the fiery clouds, and a phantom of a celestial phoenix wreathed in golden flames slowly emerged. Its burning phoenix eyes surveyed all living beings, and with just a glance, the knees of those below the level of Dou Zun trembled.

"I heard from Qing'er that you are an eighth-grade alchemist. I admire you very much. How about this, you marry into our clan, and I will betroth Qing'er to you. Our clan guarantees that we will not pursue the matter of the past. From now on, you will stay in our clan and become the chief alchemist. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, before Xiao Bai could even speak, Xun'er, who was in the distance, flashed a hint of anger in her beautiful eyes and instantly became displeased.

Someone actually tried to steal the pig she had guarded since it was a cub! This is outrageous!
The mere Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, do they really think they're something special?

"So what if he's a half-saint? You just wait!"

With a disdainful grumble, she swept her small hand across her storage ring, and a crystal-clear jade slip fell into her palm, which she crushed without hesitation. "!" Xiao Bai.

He noticed Xun'er's little actions but did not stop her.

Given the current situation, it's unclear whether any other powerful figures will arrive, and things are gradually slipping out of control.

With the arrival of powerful figures from the ancient clans, Xun'er and Xian'er's safety was assured, and he no longer needed to be distracted like before.

"Young man, our clan has always valued bloodlines. To have done this much is already the greatest concession we can make. In the past thousand years, no one has ever survived after using the blood of one of our clansmen to refine pills. You are the first, and very likely the last. What are you still hesitating about?"

"You scruffy bird, what are you barking about? You mere Heavenly Phoenix Clan, yet you want me to marry into your family, and you even have the aura of superiority and bestowing favors upon you? Who gave you the nerve?"

Seeing that the two women were safe and that Xiao Yan had run far enough away, Xiao Bai's eyes turned cold. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, his purple-gold vertical pupils surging with fighting spirit.
"If you're so capable, come and fight me in your real form. Let's see if I can pluck all your feathers off!"

Xun'er's face immediately lit up with a smile. She shook her little fist at Xiao Bai, as if cheering him on and encouraging him to say a few more curses.

"Insanity!"

The phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix roared angrily, and crimson flames poured down like a torrential rain.

"You're the arrogant one! You scruffy bird, you're fighting, can't you concentrate a little?" A clear voice suddenly came from the passage.

Then came a scream, and the crimson flames froze, instantly becoming scattered and chaotic as if they had lost control, completely losing their previous power.

"Zi Yan?!"

Xiao Bai was instantly dumbfounded. The voice was too familiar; it was the little girl who had returned to Dragon Island and disappeared for two years.

"Hey, is that Xiao Bai? I just heard your voice. Why aren't you saying anything? Zhu Li, come over here and kill this bastard! I need to go check it out!"

"No, little ancestor, if you leave now, this battlefield will immediately collapse. Who will resist those three traitors and Huang Tian?"

"Damn it! You all said you were just coming back for a visit and could leave whenever you wanted. But as soon as I arrived, you all put me on some kind of pedestal and made me feel like an empress. And I've been doing that for two years now. For two years, I've either been fighting or on my way to fight. Two whole years!"

"Um...Your Majesty, it's not a fight, it's suppressing a rebellion!" a weak, honest voice rang out.

"Say one more word and I'll smash you to death! Wai Xiaobai, speak up!"

Zi Yan's voice revealed a hint of impatience and worry.

“!!” Xiao Bai.

I haven't seen this girl for almost two years. Has she become so unruly now?
"Zi Yan, what's going on here?"

"Phew... finally she spoke!" Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled:
"It's nothing much. It's just that after I returned to Donglong Island, those three guys you mentioned were eyeing the royal bloodline, but they couldn't beat the seal in my hand. So they teamed up with those scruffy birds to fight against me. Now no one can do anything to anyone else, and they're fighting every day. It's so exciting!"

"By the way, did that scruffy bird hurt you? But I should thank it for opening this passage, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sense your presence and wouldn't have known they attacked you too!"

"Also, remember to wait for me. Once I'm free, we'll go to Ice River Valley together and wipe it out. Don't worry, I have countless powerful warriors under my command now. Ice River Valley is nothing to me!"

Zi Yan launched into a rapid-fire speech, as if she hadn't spoken so freely in a long time.
Just as Xiao Bai was about to speak and tell her that Ice River Valley was practically destroyed, a furious roar came from the passage:

"Your Majesty, stop chatting at the cave entrance and come back to take control of the Imperial Seal!"

"Here it comes... here it comes, urging me to hurry up!" Zi Yan muttered in dissatisfaction, her voice quickly echoing from the spatial wormhole:

"Xiao Bai, wait for me! I'll be back to find you soon!"

After saying that, the spatial passage closed instantly, and the sounds of fighting inside also disappeared in an instant.

Without the support of energy, the crimson phantom in the sky slowly dissipated. Just as Xiao Bai was about to dissipate his essence and blood to sustain himself, his brow twitched and he looked toward Xun'er.

An aged figure appeared directly in the void. There was no spatial passage opened by an ordinary Dou Zun. It was as if that person had always been there, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation in space.

"Another demigod!"

Xiao Bai's eyes narrowed. The old man was dressed in white, with white hair and beard, and his eyebrows were also pure white and very long, like two strands of hair hanging down to his cheeks, giving him a rather otherworldly and ethereal air.

"Elder Tongxuan!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, Xun'er and everyone from the ancient clan hurriedly bowed in greeting.

The old man, known as Elder Tongxuan, nodded slightly. His eyes, which were not cloudy at all but rather bright, looked up at Xiao Bai and scrutinized him carefully, without revealing any emotion.

Xiao Bai remained silent, responding calmly. He knew the person's identity from Xun'er's address.

"I never imagined that after so many years, the Xiao family would produce another outstanding person like you. The ways of Heaven are constant, yet you are so devoted to the Xiao clan!"

Tongxuan sighed softly. He had not experienced the glory of the Xiao clan, but he knew from some of the elders in the clan how heroic that person was back then, which was truly admirable.

"To cherish a love that has endured a thousand years of decline and nearly led to the extinction of one's race—isn't this kind of love a little too heavy?"

Xiao Bai said noncommittally, "To be honest, I don't have much right to empathize with him. This was Xiao Xuan's own choice back then."

To be frank, he doesn't have the blood of the Xiao family, but the Xiao family raised him, and there's always a bond of kinship between them that he can't sever.

Xun'er was taken aback. She had always thought that her brother Xiao Bai didn't know the origin of the Xiao family, and he never asked why she, with her status, would appear in the Xiao family.

But now it seems that there were some things he already knew, it's just unknown how much he knew.

"It seems you know quite a bit. Those people in the Xiao family now probably only know the Xiao family, and have long forgotten about the Xiao clan!" Elder Tongxuan said meaningfully, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"When you have the strength, you will naturally know; when you don't have the strength, no matter how much you know, you will be willing but unable to do it, and in the end it will all be for nothing!"

Xiao Bai's eyes were somewhat vacant. If Xiao Yan hadn't been born into the Xiao family, what good would knowing certain things have done? It would only have made them more desperate.

"Hehe. That makes sense. In this world, there are strong and weak, and in the end, it all depends on oneself. Some voices in my clan are indeed quite radical towards the Xiao family, but that doesn't mean it's the whole story."

"The incident involving the Xiao Clan back then taught all the imperial clans a good lesson. The clan leader is benevolent and, in order to prevent some of his subordinates from becoming suspicious and to maintain clan unity, he has not managed clan affairs much in recent years. However, regarding Xun'er, the final decision rests with the clan leader."

Elder Tongxuan smiled slightly and said softly.

Xiao Bai immediately understood. With Xiao Xuan's example as a precedent, the elders of the ancient clans were afraid that their own clan leaders would become the second Xiao Xuan, which is why the elders' council has become so powerful.

However, he also received Tongxuan's goodwill. Regardless of whether this goodwill was based on self-interest, it ultimately sent him a clear signal: Xun'er's father, his father-in-law, did not have any prejudice against him.

"Thank you!"

Tongxuan nodded, then looked at Xun'er.
"Xun'er, before I came here, the clan leader told you to return to the clan as soon as possible. Your cultivation level is a bit low, so don't waste your talent. Also, you must always remember your promise to him!"

Xun'er's pretty face instantly turned crimson, her ears felt like they were on fire, and her beautiful eyes were filled with both shyness and joy.
