Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 350 Who is so bold? Daring to steal from my Soul Palace?

"What did you say? Yun'er, she..."

His internal fighting spirit surged out uncontrollably, instantly turning the rocks within a ten-foot radius into dust.

Qinglin was forced back several steps by this aura, and looked in horror at her young master's black robes fluttering, his eyes flashing with alternating golden and black lightning.

"Young Master," Qinglin called out timidly.

Xiao Bai snapped back to his senses, forcefully suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Qinglin's eyes reddened, and her slender fingers gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

"When we were traversing the wormhole, we encountered turbulence. My wife was swept away to some unknown place while protecting me."

By the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably, her emerald green eyes brimming with tears.

"How long has it been?" Xiao Bai's voice was terrifyingly low.

"It's been about three days," Qinglin frowned, thinking carefully.

"When I woke up, I was thinking of finding the lady, but I suddenly encountered the people of the Nine Netherworld Python, and they chased me all the way here."

Xiao Bai suddenly grabbed Qing Lin's shoulders: "Isn't Yun'er wearing a blue crystal necklace? The crescent shape?"

Qinglin was startled by this sudden action, then nodded frantically:

"Yes! Madam always wears it; she treasures it very much. Sometimes she even stares at that necklace in a daze."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

The necklace contained a jade slip he had personally crafted for transmitting messages. If Yun Yun were to encounter any misfortune, the jade slip would shatter immediately to send a message.

Since there has been no reaction so far, it means that her life is at least not in danger.

"Young Master, it's all my fault," Qing Lin said, her face full of guilt, her voice choked with sobs. "If only I could be a little stronger..."

Xiao Bai patted her head, his fingertips lightly tracing the corner of her eye, and shook his head, saying:
"This is not your fault!"

They were worried about him, so they came to Zhongzhou to look for his whereabouts. Based on this alone, Xiao Bai could not feel the slightest bit of blame.

He gazed at the violently fluctuating ruins in the distance. He had originally wanted to be a fisherman, but now he had no desire to wait and be a fisherman.

"Qinglin, wait for me here."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Bai's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was standing in the core area of ​​the ruins, with cracked earth beneath his feet and blood-red clouds stirred up by the nine-headed celestial serpent above his head.

The scene before them was horrific—the Soul-Binding Array, composed of four members of the Soul Palace, was shrouded in black mist, with countless chains wrapped around the phantom of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent. Each chain flickered with strange runes, constantly eroding the power of the ancient beast soul.

The nine heads of the celestial serpent thrashed wildly, their immense spiritual power causing the chains to rattle and the runes on them to flicker erratically, as if they might break at any moment.

However, the members of the Soul Palace were clearly very skilled at dealing with soul entities, and although they were in a sorry state, they were still able to hold on.

Further away, Yao Yu and his two companions appeared to be stopping the Soul Palace from besieging the Heavenly Serpent, but in reality, they were just going through the motions.

Xiao Bai saw through their plan at a glance—to reap the benefits when the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Serpent were both severely weakened.

"Ah"

Xiao Bai sneered. He had originally planned to play the victim, but now that Yun Yun had encountered an accident, he no longer had the mind to play such tricks.

"boom--"

Without warning, an aura far more terrifying than a three-star Dou Zun erupted from Xiao Bai's body, with golden and black lightning surging out like a tide, and the majestic aura sweeping across the entire space.

"Xiao Bai?!"

Old Ghost Zhaixing was the first to notice the uninvited guest; his face darkened and his voice changed.

He knew that the bastard hadn't left.

When he felt that immense pressure, his body under the black robe trembled violently.

Yao Yu's expression also changed drastically: "How could this aura suddenly appear?"

Xiao Bai gave everyone no time to react. He made a sweeping motion with his hands in front of his chest, and the Yin and Yang lightning intertwined and flowed, instantly condensing into a Tai Chi diagram with a diameter of over a hundred feet.

The golden lightning in the picture is extremely yang and strong, while the black lightning is extremely yin and gentle. The two completely opposite forces intertwine and rotate, emitting a wave that makes the space tremble.

"town!"

With a soft shout from Xiao Bai, the Taiji diagram crashed down. The nine-headed celestial serpent let out a shrill roar, and all eighteen eyes simultaneously revealed a look of terror.

As a soul entity, it fears most this kind of lightning power that specifically counters evil, especially since the golden lightning within it resembles a great sun, radiating intense heavenly might.

"laugh--"

Under the influence of the Tai Chi diagram, the phantom of the nine-headed celestial serpent shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It struggled frantically, its nine heads constantly spewing energy, but all of them vanished into thin air the moment they touched the lightning.

In just three breaths, the sky-covering phantom was compressed into a ball of light the size of a fist.

Xiao Bai flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, storing the ball of light inside. With a few taps of his fingertips, seven soul seals instantly formed, and the bottle was immediately covered with dense soul seal runes.

All of this happened so fast that it wasn't until Xiao Bai put the jade bottle into his storage ring that the Old Ghost Zhaixing and Yao Yu finally came to their senses.

"Damn it!" Yao Yu's eyes widened in fury. "That's the soul of my clan's ancestor!"

The Old Ghost of the Stars erupted, shouting, "Xiao Bai, hand over the beast soul!"

The two opposing sides, who were originally at odds, suddenly attacked simultaneously. Nine soul-locking chains flew out from the old ghost's sleeve, each one entwined with a vengeful spirit that screamed in agony.

Yao Yu then revealed his hundred-meter-long python body, spewing out poisonous mist from his mouth that was enough to corrode the space itself;
The others behind them also unleashed their unique skills, and for a moment, countless fighting techniques rained down on Xiao Bai.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Xiao Bai remained calm and composed.

He formed a hand seal, and twelve thunderous spears appeared out of thin air before him. The spear shafts swirled with gold and black, and the space at their tips continuously collapsed.

"go."

With a casual wave of his hand, the twelve spears instantly transformed into twelve thunderous dragons.

Each one is incredibly lifelike, with terrifying arcs of electricity dancing on the dragon scales.

The dragon roared as it approached the crowd, and wherever it passed, the soul-binding chains snapped and the poisonous mist dissipated.

"High-level Dou Zun?!" Old Ghost Zhaixing exclaimed in shock. From the terrifying energy fluctuations, he could sense that this attack had the power of at least an eight or nine-star Dou Zun!

He suddenly realized—Xiao Bai still possessed that terrifying essence blood!

The thought filled him with both fear and a desire to vomit blood. This bastard was indeed ruthless, possessing such methods while remaining hidden in the shadows.

However, seeing the giant dragon coming towards them, they could no longer hold back and joined forces with Yao Yu to set up a defense.

"Rumble--"

The shockwave generated by the collision of thunder and black mist tore the entire ruin space to pieces.

Once the energy storm subsided, Old Ghost Zhaixing and Yao Yu looked around, but Xiao Bai was nowhere to be seen.
At the same time, on the mountaintop outside the ruins, Xiao Bai's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Young Master!" Qinglin greeted him with delight.

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, his expression still solemn: "Let's go, take me to the place where you encountered the void turbulence."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Qinglin's slender waist, and with a flash, disappeared into the void.

Not long after they left, a faint ripple suddenly appeared not far from the ruins, and then two figures in black robes walked out.

Their gazes fell simultaneously on the crack in the ruins, and just as they were about to enter, a powerful energy storm surged out from it.

"Humans!" A furious voice faintly echoed.

Inside the ruins, Yao Yu roared through gritted teeth, her snake eyes filled with resentment and venom.

His face was pale, one hand clutching his chest, blood trickling from between his fingers. Looking inside, there was a large, open hole, crackling with golden and black lightning. Had it not been for the beast's formidable physique, he would likely have perished from such injuries. "Cough."

The old ghost who picks stars also had a gloomy face. He was coughing violently, spitting out mouthfuls of blood as if it were free. He was obviously seriously injured. He felt that Xiao Bai was his nemesis. Every time they met, he not only could not get any benefit, but he almost died at Xiao Bai's hands every time.

"Zhaixing, you said in the message hall that you encountered the soul of a ninth-tier magical beast, where is the soul?"

A hoarse voice echoed in the void, followed by two figures in black robes slowly appearing beside the Old Ghost Zhaixing.

"Greetings, Black and White Celestial Venerables!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, the elders of the Soul Palace hurriedly rose and bowed, despite their injuries.

"It's gone, someone stole it!"

After taking a healing pill from his storage ring and swallowing it, the old ghost glanced at the two of them, unsurprised, and silently sat cross-legged in the void to recover from his injuries.

"Robbed?"

An elderly man in black robes frowned, his voice filled with anger. His tone involuntarily rose slightly:

"Who dares to be so bold as to steal something from my Soul Palace?"

"Xiao Bai!"

The old ghost squeezed out a name through gritted teeth, his previously closed eyes suddenly snapping open, his chest heaving violently, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Xiao Bai?"

The old man in black robes frowned, a thought flickering in his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly realized and said:
"Is that the genius alchemist the Palace Master mentioned not long ago? I heard you suffered a loss at his hands last time?"

Faced with the old man's subtly mocking words, Zhaixing snorted coldly:
"That person seems to have some connection with the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void. He possesses the essence blood of the Dragon Saint, and ordinary Venerables are no match for him!"

"Heh, is this some excuse you're making up for failing your mission, old ghost?" the black-robed elder sneered.

"you"

At this moment, another black-robed elder, who had remained silent until now, waved his hand to interrupt the two men's idle chatter and transmitted his voice:
"Alright, it seems there are other arrangements for Xiao Bai's matter in the hall. Right now, all the lords in the hall have been taken away by the hall master to carry out missions. Let's not worry about him for now and wait for the hall master to return before making any decisions!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Ghost of Stars flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but quickly composed himself. He turned to look at the equally disheveled Yao Yu and the others in the distance, his eyes gleaming with cold light:
"Those people from the Nine Netherworld Python clan..."

"Don't bother."

The old man in black robes waved his hand, interrupting:
"Before leaving, the temple master instructed that the branch temples should not make any major moves in the near future to avoid causing any unforeseen complications."

Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a spatial rift appeared out of thin air.

"Let's go, this place is no longer of any value."

The members of the Soul Palace stepped into the crevice and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Xiao Bai, with Qing Lin in tow, arrived at the entrance to the spatial passage leading to Tianya City.

Looking at the still unrestored spatial passage, ignoring the dark void inside, they stepped directly in and, guided by Qinglin, headed towards the place where they had encountered the void turbulence.

Xiao Bai stood in the void, surrounded by distorted spatial cracks. Darkness surged like a tide, and occasionally a silvery-white spatial turbulence flashed by like lightning, only to disappear in an instant.

Qinglin stood behind him, her emerald eyes scanning the surroundings nervously as if recalling her recent encounter.

"Young master, this is the place."

Qinglin's voice trembled slightly, "At that time, the space suddenly collapsed, and the lady was swept away in this vicinity."

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, and a silver vertical line slowly lit up between his brows.

His soul power surged forth like a tide, weaving a fine net in the void, searching inch by inch for any possible traces.

A golden-black Tai Chi diagram swirled beneath his feet, dispersing all the chaotic spatial forces around him.

Time seemed to stand still in the void.

Qinglin looked at the young master's furrowed brows, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her clothes.

She could sense the lingering, violent energy in this space; the turbulence from three days ago seemed to have washed everything away.

"No."

Xiao Bai's voice was so low it was almost inaudible. He withdrew his soul power, and the golden light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Qinglin's tears finally fell: "It's all my fault."

Xiao Bai gently placed his hand on her shoulder: "It's not your fault."

His voice was calm, but Qinglin could sense the surging emotions beneath that calm.

The golden-black lightning suddenly surged, tearing a rift in the void.

As Xiao Bai stepped in with Qing Lin, the surrounding scenery immediately distorted and changed.

They moved through the spatial interlayers, each step creating ripples in the space.

"Young master, this is..."

"Since we can't find any traces, let's search along the possible directions of the turbulence."

Xiao Bai's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the spatial turbulence: "Although the void turbulence is ever-changing, it always leaves behind some subtle traces."

Qinglin nodded emphatically, a faint light gleaming in its emerald green snake eyes.

Her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes could see through spatial barriers, and she was currently searching for any possible clues with all her might.

They traveled through the void for an unknown period of time.

Sometimes they would encounter violent spatial storms, but fortunately, Xiao Bai's soul was strong enough to sense them in advance and avoid them. Although he still couldn't find any trace of Yun Yun, Xiao Bai's understanding of space was gradually deepening.

He seemed to be able to "see" the texture of space itself—those subtle folds that ordinary people could not perceive, like ripples on the surface of water, recording traces of the past.

Qinglin was surprised to find that her young master's figure would occasionally become blurry, as if he were about to merge into this void.

His black robe fluttered without wind, and tiny spatial cracks appeared intermittently at the hem.

"Space?"

As Xiao Bai murmured, he suddenly stopped. As if lost in some kind of enlightenment, he reached out and lightly touched the ground in front of him, his fingertips seemingly swirling with the energy of yin and yang.

"This is..." Qing Lin's eyes widened, and she held her breath as she watched the light at the young master's fingertips grow brighter and brighter. The light was not just simple battle qi, but contained a mysterious rhythm.

As Xiao Bai moved, the surrounding spatial turbulence began to arrange itself in an orderly manner, forming a relatively stable channel.

"Goodness gracious. Wasn't this kid here looking for someone? How come he suddenly had an epiphany?"

At this moment, Yao Lao floated out, a hint of shock still lingering in his eyes. He was not surprised by Xiao Bai opening up the passage, but by this rare spatial insight.

If this insight can be refined in the future, it might actually lead to the creation of a powerful spatial combat technique.

"Hello, senior!"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the old apothecary, Qinglin obediently bowed, showing no surprise in her eyes. Back when she was in the snake-people clan, she had kept the Black Nether Ring and spent a few days with the old apothecary.

"Hehe. Not bad, little girl. It's been a few years, and you've grown into a beautiful young lady!" The old doctor stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Sensing Qing Lin's aura that was about to break through to Dou Zun, he couldn't help but sigh. Special physiques are indeed different. In just a few years, the little girl who was still a Dou Qi cultivator has already reached this level.

Just then, both of them looked at Xiao Bai at the same time. As if sensing something, he reached out and grabbed a wisp of almost imperceptible energy in his palm.

He slowly opened his palm, and a wisp of pale blue energy floated in his palm.

Although so faint as to almost vanish, it does exist.

“She’s been here.” Xiao Bai’s voice finally showed a hint of emotion. “And there’s a trace of a special aura left here.”

Qinglin looked around in surprise: "Then, Madam, now..."

Xiao Bai suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting like lightning into the depths of the void.

A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out from there.
