Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 362 Huh, Empress, why have you shrunk?
The void cracked open, revealing a strange passage filled with a faint silver light.

An elderly man in a white robe walked out slowly, his face serene, yet radiating a chilling aura of power.

"Huang Jiuyou, it seems I didn't hit you hard enough last time. You still dare to leave the Beast Domain and come to Zhongzhou to cause trouble."

"Hmph, Zhu Li, stop putting on airs!"

Huang Jiuyou snorted coldly, flames flickering all over her body. "You are only a mid-level half-saint. If you hadn't been suppressed by that young dragon mobilizing the power of the Great Seal, how could you have injured me?"

He glanced at Xiao Bai, who was eyeing him menacingly, a shadow of malice flashing in his eyes. Today's events were beyond redemption.

Xiao Bai alone was already a tough opponent for him, and with Zhu Li added to the mix, he had no chance of winning.

Suppressing his fear, the Heavenly Phoenix Flame around him rose again, condensing into nine fiery feathers in the void, each containing the terrifying power to burn the heavens and boil the seas.

On the other side, Xia Sha was forced into retreat by Hei Qing, and had already sustained multiple injuries. He roared repeatedly, but could not shake off Hei Qing's entanglement.

"Black Knight, do you really have to be so ruthless as to wipe us all out?!"

Xia Sha's eyes were bloodshot as he roared madly.

"Traitor, I will kill you today!"

Hei Qing sneered, his fists flying like dragons, each strike carrying destructive power.

Xia Sha gritted his teeth, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and transformed into a streak of blood light, disappearing into the void.

"Want to run?"

Hei Qing snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he directly tore through space to chase after him.

Zhu Li glanced at him and then ignored him, turning his gaze to Xiao Bai. Feeling the familiar bloodline pressure emanating from him, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Palace Master Xiao is not in a position to act now. How about we hand him over to me to deal with?"

His words were friendly, as if he were seeking his opinion.

Although Xiao Bai was enveloped in a dazzling purple-gold light, Zhu Li could sense the abnormality occurring within his body.

Seeing him nod slightly, Zhu Li smiled. His white robes fluttered without wind, and he slowly raised his right hand, palm facing up.

"Ancient Dragon. Shattered Void".

In an instant, the entire space began to distort, and countless silver light spots condensed in the void, transforming into thin spatial chains.

Zhu Li suddenly clenched his five fingers, and the silver chains instantly straightened, shattering the space around Huang Jiuyou into pieces.

"puff--"

Huang Jiuyou spat out a mouthful of blood. The nine fiery feathers were shredded by the power of space before they could fully take shape and were silently extinguished.

He was horrified to discover that his connection with the energy of heaven and earth had been completely severed!
"You...you've broken through to the advanced demigod level?!"

"It was just a fluke."

Zhu Li smiled slightly, but his gaze grew even colder. "Now, it's time to send you on your way."

He raised his hand again, seemingly without any grand phenomena, but Xiao Bai clearly felt that the space around Huang Jiuyou fell into absolute stillness, just like an insect frozen in amber. As Zhu Li clenched his hand, the space began to collapse continuously.

Huang Jiuyou's expression changed drastically. If he were at his peak, he might still be able to break free.

But the battle with Xiao Bai had already taken its toll, and the shameless old man had tricked him, leaving him severely injured and unable to fight back.

"Lord Eagle Phoenix, save me!"

A shrill scream echoed through the void. Zhu Li was startled at first, then his heart tightened, his eyes hesitated for a moment, then a fierce glint flashed in them, and his hand continued to clench.

On the other side, Xiao Bai turned and left without hesitation.

He knew perfectly well the Eagle Phoenix that Huang Jiuyou had mentioned; this person was a true saint among the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, someone he couldn't possibly resist at this moment.

Even if the old dragon emperor's blood essence was incredibly powerful, he was limited by his physique and could only barely perform at the level of a mid-level half-saint. Compared to a true fighting saint, the gap was simply too great.

"Ah-"

As soon as Xiao Bai turned around, a crack thousands of feet long appeared in the space behind him, instantly shattering the space that Zhu Li had imprisoned. Then, a withered claw that blotted out the sky emerged from it.

The enormous claw not only covered Huang Jiuyou, but also enveloped Xiao Bai and Zhu Li.

"Eagle Phoenix, you act so recklessly in the Central Continent. Aren't you afraid that those other clans will cause trouble for your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"

Zhu Li flashed to a spot not far from Xiao Bai, calmly looking up at the giant claw above his head.

"So what if those other clans know that I've captured the criminals of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?" A detached and emotionless voice came from the claw.

"sinner?!"

Sensing the sharp killing intent emanating from the claws, Xiao Bai took a deep breath, turned around, and his gaze turned icy.

"Xiao Bai, calm down. You can't continue to mobilize your essence blood now, otherwise your body will become half-human and half-dragon. You don't want to become like that, do you?"

Seeing Xiao Bai's aura surge again, Zhu Li hurriedly stopped him, but kept a certain distance. At this moment, the aura emanating from Xiao Bai was too much for his bloodline to handle.

There's nothing we can do; it's a natural suppression.

Looking at the old man blocking his way, who showed no sign of anxiety even in such a dangerous situation, Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with a strange light.

Is it
Soon, a familiar voice echoed in the void.

"You old bastard Eagle Phoenix, who are you calling a sinner?!"

As he spoke, a massive seal, even larger than the giant claw and radiating a terrifying aura, suddenly appeared in the void, seemingly about to shatter endless space and time, crashing down like the collapse of the sky.

"Gudong!"

Those who had been watching the battlefield from afar turned pale as they saw the massive seal that seemed poised to wipe out the entire Fenglei Mountain Range. The terrifying energy emanating from it made them feel as if their souls were about to be crushed by the seal, and they hurriedly moved away.

If this energy were to explode, the entire Fenglei Mountain Range would likely be razed to the ground, and they would become casualties.

"It's you?"

The sound from the claws was no longer indifferent; it now carried a hint of fear.

"That's right, it's me! I knew you weren't behaving properly, so I've been waiting here for you for quite a while!"

"boom--!"

The colossal claw that blotted out the sky was slammed into the purple-gold seal, causing space to shatter inch by inch. A violent energy storm swept across thousands of miles. If the attacker hadn't been careful, even the mountains below would probably have been reduced to dust by the aftershocks.

"This is... Zi Yan?!"

Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor looked up in disbelief to see a petite figure standing in mid-air, her long, purple-gold hair flying in the wind.

Is this still the same greedy little girl from back then?

She held the massive purple-gold seal, powerful enough to suppress heaven and earth, in one hand, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"That old bastard is indeed winged; he runs fast!"

Gazing at the distant void, Zi Yan pursed her lips, glanced at the large seal in her hand whose light had dimmed slightly, and a complex look flashed in her pretty eyes.

He then put away the seal, his gaze shifted, the complex expression in his eyes vanished instantly, and with a single step, he appeared beside Xiao Bai.

Seeing him staring at her in astonishment, she couldn't help but chuckle, her charming appearance completely devoid of the domineering aura she had just displayed.

She tugged at Xiao Bai's sleeve and shook it as before, her big, bright eyes squeezing together and instantly becoming watery.

"Xiao Bai, they bullied me!" Zi Yan pointed at Zhu Li, who looked utterly astonished, and pitifully accused him.
"We agreed to go to Dragon Island, but they dragged me into a fight instead. And they're still kids."

As she spoke, she gestured with her little hands and said, "And such a big island doesn't even have a single alchemist, so I haven't had any sugar pills for years!"

“.!” Zhu Li.

He had heard that his emperor and Xiao Bai had a very good relationship, but he didn't expect it to be this good.

She, who is 'bandit-like' on Dragon Island, can actually act cute?

And
"Hey, Your Majesty, why have you shrunk? Didn't you always hate it when people said you were small?"

The void rippled, and Hei Qing emerged, covered in blood, still faintly exuding a fierce aura. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Zi Yan's current appearance.

"I believe that the Dragon Tomb is the resting place of our ancestors, and its defense is very important. It just so happens that it needs a guardian of the tomb who is an eight-star Dou Zun."

Zi Yan's waving hand stiffened slightly. She glanced coldly at Hei Qing and asked Zhu Li through gritted teeth:
"Elder Zhuli, who do you think would be more suitable?"

“.!” Zhu Li.

"!" Black Steel.

You can just say my name, why make things difficult for the Third Elder?
He chuckled twice, but ultimately only dared to mutter a few complaints to himself before wisely shutting his mouth. He knew this little devil's temper well; she meant what she said.

He didn't want to spend his young age in that gloomy dragon tomb.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Zi Yan, Xiao Bai was filled with mixed emotions.

That greedy little girl from back then is now the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, and her every move exudes a regal aura.

"Ziyan, you've grown up." Xiao Bai sighed softly and reached out to ruffle her long, purple-gold hair.

"Of course!" Zi Yan proudly raised her little face, then pouted.
"But those old guys are so annoying, always watching me and making me learn this and that. If it weren't for you sending a message back to Donglong Island this time, I still wouldn't be able to get out!"

Zhu Li shook his head as he listened, but didn't say anything more.

Although Zi Yan is currently only at the Dou Zun level, she is recognized as the Dragon Emperor by everyone on Donglong Island, both because of her bloodline and the imperial seal she possesses.

Some of the older members of the clan were simply impatient because they saw that the Ancient Dragon Clan had been divided for too long and needed a powerful clan leader to reunite the clan. This was understandable.

"By the way, what about you now?"

Zi Yan suddenly stopped laughing and looked seriously at the purple-gold light on Xiao Bai's body that had not completely faded.

A moment later, when she pulled up his sleeve, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She saw that the purple-gold dragon scales on it were already spreading towards his shoulders.

"Xiao Bai!"

"noob!"

"Son!"

Several streaks of light flew over; it was Cai Lin Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor were about to greet Zi Yan when they noticed the strange condition on Xiao Bai's body, and their expressions changed.

"Let's go, let's talk about it when we go back!"

Xiao Bai lowered his sleeves, shook his head slightly, looked at their worried eyes, smiled gently, and reassured them softly:
"It's just that the power of the essence blood is a bit too domineering, causing the bloodline in the body to have a tendency to assimilate. It's nothing serious!"

Looking at the devastated Fenglei Mountains, a flash of anger crossed Xiao Bai's eyes.

"You go ahead, I'll arrange for people to clean up the battlefield and handle these matters!" Lin Yan, who had been silent, stepped forward and said softly.

"Good work!"

Seeing the suppressed emotions in his eyes, Xiao Bai patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't rush. Water doesn't compete to be first or to flow endlessly. As long as you keep improving, one day you will reach that level too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan lowered his eyes slightly, remained silent, and simply nodded firmly.

Wuliang Hall.

Because Xiao Bai controlled it, it was not damaged.

After everyone arrived at the main hall and sat down according to their status, Qinglin busied herself serving tea to everyone.

"Ziyan, how is Xiao Bai?" Cailin asked anxiously as soon as she sat down, without bothering with pleasantries.

"Sister Cailin, don't worry. As long as he doesn't continue to use his essence and blood like this, it will gradually dissipate."

Zi Yan gently shook her head, sensing the familiar aura within Xiao Bai's body, knowing it was given to her by her father.

However, his father meant for him to refine it slowly, but who knew he would use it so violently.

"However, if he continues to use it like this, he might grow a tail and dragon horns, eventually becoming a half-dragon!"

"what?!"

Seeing that Zi Yan wasn't joking, Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor were startled and immediately stood up, looking at Xiao Bai.

Seeing him pause for a moment, he nodded in agreement. The two women's expressions changed slightly, and their lips moved as if they wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't. They just looked at him with concern.

"Don't worry, I won't use it easily in the future."

Xiao Bai felt that the blood in his body, which was originally slightly black and white, was now stained with a layer of purple-gold color, and he felt a little apprehensive.

He was a bit careless; he hadn't expected the old Dragon Emperor's bloodline to be so domineering.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan absorbed the essence and blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint without any apparent problems. It is unknown whether this was due to the fact that he was human or because he was already dead and the passage of time had passed.

The two women pursed their lips, temporarily setting aside their worries.

In the hall, Zhu Li, who was seated as a guest, put down his teacup and chuckled softly after they finished speaking.

"Palace Master Xiao is truly blessed. He possesses the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, the Calamity Poison Body, and the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil—all rare physiques on the continent. His future achievements are limitless."

"I came here in a hurry this time and didn't bring much with me, except for one thing that should be useful to Palace Master Xiao!"

As Zhu Li spoke, he touched his storage ring, and a fist-sized pebble landed in his hand, emitting colorful light and a strange fluctuation.

"Elder Zhuli, although our Dragon Island is in decline, can't you at least send a decent gift? Why send a broken stone?"

Zi Yan's dissatisfied voice rang out.

Zhu Li sighed helplessly, glancing at Zi Yan. At that moment, he looked at those old folks in the clan who were making Zi Yan learn things.
I wholeheartedly agree.

Zi Yan suddenly noticed that Cai Lin's breathing was abnormal. She turned her head and saw that her gaze had been fixed on the stone ever since it appeared.

Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow, looked at the colorful patterns on it, counted them carefully, and then stood up.

"Nine-color raw stone!"

"Haha. Luckily, Palace Master Xiao knows me, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be branded as stingy today!"

Seeing Xiao Bai's expression, Zhu Li stroked his beard and smiled, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"If Elder Zhuli's gift is stingy, then there are probably no truly great gifts in the world!"

Xiao Bai shook his head and smiled, feeling very happy. He originally thought he would find a bargain at the Space Trading Center, but he didn't expect to run into one here.

Even a regular seven-colored raw stone requires two grade eight three-colored pills, and as for a nine-colored one, it is even more rare and hard to come by.
