Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 363 The Vanished Void Thunder Pool

Inside the main hall, those who overheard the conversation between the two were momentarily confused. Even the usually knowledgeable Elder Yao was slightly puzzled.

Only Cai Lin, with her narrow phoenix eyes, looked at the man beside her, a strange light flashing in them.

The playful banter between the two of them on her bedside table years ago still echoed in her ears.

She remembered him saying he would help her evolve into a nine-colored being. At the time, she didn't believe it, but now, it seems to be becoming a reality.

And that bet
Xiao Bai seemed to sense something, tilted his head slightly to look at her, blinked gently, and stared intently.

Cai Lin's eyes darted away, and when she looked away, a faint blush rose on her alluring jade cheeks, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

However, realizing that the occasion was inappropriate, she gave him a barely perceptible sidelong glance.

That bastard.
"Hey Xiao Bai, you still haven't answered me. What's the use of this broken stone in your hand?"

Zi Yan's clear voice rang out, interrupting the two's secret flirting.

Xiao Bai turned around and looked at Zi Yan, who was resting her chin on her hand, her eyes full of curiosity. Her large, dark eyes reflected the nine-colored light. He chuckled and, meeting the questioning gazes of the crowd, explained:
"You've probably all heard of the Seven-Colored Raw Stone. It's only possible to create one from the place where the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's body falls to its death. But what you might not know is that if more than a hundred Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Pythons fall to their deaths in one place at the same time, there's a chance that an Eight-Colored or even Nine-Colored Raw Stone will be created."

"However, the Devouring Pythons are already rare. The chance of hundreds of them dying in one place is extremely small. Therefore, most people only know about the seven colors, but they don't know that above the seven colors, there are eight colors and nine colors."

"Therefore, above the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, there are also Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Pythons, and even Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Pythons. Once one reaches the Nine-Colored level, it is equivalent to the royal family of the ancient dragon clan, and is also the most powerful existence in the Sky-Swallowing Python bloodline."

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the hall except for Cai Lin was taken aback, clearly having never heard of such a secret.

"This has certainly broadened my horizons!" Zhu Li, recovering from his astonishment, stroked his beard and remarked with emotion.
"I originally thought that the nine-colored raw stone was the birth of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan with the highest bloodline concentration, but I didn't expect that there was also a Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python."

"Xiao Bai, you know so much!"

Seeing that Zhu Li was unaware, Zi Yan stared at Xiao Bai with bright eyes, then, as if remembering something, her gaze shifted between him and Cai Lin:
"Wait a minute... You didn't tell this from Sister Cailin, did you?"

"I never said any of that to him!"

Cai Lin shook her head slightly. She also had doubts in her heart. The secret of the Nine-Colored Devouring Python was the inherited memory flowing in the Devouring Python's bloodline. Few people knew about it, but he seemed to know it long ago.

"Haha. Palace Master Xiao is indeed no ordinary person!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Li smiled and nodded in admiration. At this moment, he had no more doubts about the information Xiao Bai had given him.

If they know such secrets like the back of their hand, it's not surprising that they also know about rare items like the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"You flatter me. I will gladly accept this gift. On behalf of my wife, I thank Elder Zhuli!"

Xiao Bai handed the nine-colored raw stone in his hand to Cai Lin beside him and said with a cupped hand.

Cai Lin accepted the raw stone, her beautiful eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

She gently stroked the surface of the stone, feeling the strange and powerful energy contained within it. The Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python bloodline within her body seemed to be summoned by something, and it began to boil slightly.

"Hey, don't be so polite."

Zi Yan waved her little hand, a touch of heroic spirit rising on her delicate face:
"If I had known that Sister Cailin needed this, I should have checked the treasure vault before I left to see if there was any left."

Cai Lin's lips curled up slightly, and a gentle smile flashed in her eyes as she looked at Zi Yan.

On the other side, upon hearing this, Zhu Li's smile froze instantly.

He could tell that if this Palace Master Xiao were to speak, given his Emperor's temperament, even the most valuable assets of Dragon Island would be emptied out.

"Ahem. Palace Master Xiao, you're too kind. Compared to the information you gave me, this is nothing at all." Zhu Li coughed twice, quickly bringing the topic back on track.

"Elder Zhuli, rest assured, Ziyan is like family to me. Her affairs are my affairs."

Xiao Bai nodded, his voice not loud, but firm and resolute.

"Haha. It is a blessing for our clan that our Emperor and Palace Master Xiao have such a connection!" Zhu Li smiled and was immediately relieved.

Although they had only just met, he could tell that Xiao Bai was extremely talented and that he treated Zi Yan very well.

Most importantly, he has likely already gained the approval of the old clan chief.

Although this generation of dragons had never met the old patriarch, Donglong Island upheld the orthodoxy and had its own methods for testing royal heirs.

They all knew about Zi Yan's background without saying a word. She was indeed the daughter of the old clan chief who had disappeared thousands of years ago, and the large seal on her body was very likely a life-saving measure left to her by her father.

The essence and blood aura on Xiao Bai's body originated from the same source as the Great Seal, which was why he was excited when he saw him before.

According to what Hei Qing brought back, the ancient dragon expert who was trapped somewhere was previously just a guess, but after seeing Xiao Baiqi, he was certain that it was Zi Yan's father.

The pressure emanating from the essence of blood cannot be faked; the pressure from the essence of a fallen powerhouse is clearly different from that of a living one.

The spirit and will within them, one you can feel constantly dissipating, while the other is extremely condensed.

The essence and blood of such a powerful being cannot be seized by anyone other than the person who bestowed it upon them, unless they are a powerful being of the same level, have truly perished, or have left behind some means.

None of these explanations fit Xiao Bai's situation, so there is only one truth:
The old patriarch, once the emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, is still alive!

Thinking of this, he felt both anger and pity for those traitors.

I am angry at their betrayal, yet saddened and even amused by their actions.

Declare himself king?

If they knew the old patriarch was still alive, I wonder what their expressions would be?

Thinking of this, Zhu Li felt a surge of complex emotions.

He looked up at Zi Yan and saw her tugging at Xiao Bai's sleeve, chattering away, her face beaming with a long-lost joyful smile.

Just then, a golden light, carrying a long arc of lightning, shot into the main hall.

"Hey? Brother Hei Qing, you're here! Here, take this!"

The little golden dragon braked suddenly, turned around instantly, and jumped onto Hei Qing's shoulder, offering him a storage ring with its little paws.

"Didn't you want to vent your anger by whipping the corpse for your master? Are you done?" Hei Qing took the storage ring and scanned it. Inside lay a corpse with a sunken chest, its appearance extremely miserable.

He had just killed someone when this strange thunder dragon suddenly rushed over, befriended him, and said it wanted to avenge Xiao Bai, asking him to give it to it first, promising to return it to him later after it was cleaned up.

Seeing that it was Xiao Bai's pet, he didn't think much of it and gave it to him. However, after examining the corpse, his lips twitched a few times.

"Where is his dragon soul?" Hei Qing turned his head expressionlessly.

"Sigh, this guy is really a fraud. No wonder he was beaten so badly by my lord that he ran away with his head in his hands. His soul was directly dissipated after being struck a few times by my dragon's lightning. He's really too weak to withstand a beating!"

The little golden dragon shook its head, seemingly still dissatisfied and greatly disappointed.

"Heh." Hei Qing's face stiffened, and he forced a smile. "That's truly a pity!"

Damn it, could you at least tone down that intense soul fluctuation all over your body before you say that?

However, he didn't say much. Although they were of the same race, they were also mortal enemies.

Even if he doesn't deal with this little thunder dragon, he won't let this rebel get away with it when he gets back.

"Thanks, Brother Hei Qing!" The little golden dragon patted Hei Qing's shoulder with its claws, then turned into a streak of lightning and landed on the table in front of Xiao Bai.

"My two mistresses, it's been a long time!"

Seeing Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian beside him, the little golden dragon blinked its big golden eyes and swished its tail happily.

Cai Lin merely glanced at it. She knew this talkative dragon all too well; it had appeared when she was undergoing her evolutionary tribulation. She still remembered how she had once wished she could slice it into eight pieces with her sword.

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and nodded gently in response.

Seeing Cai Lin's expression, the little golden dragon grinned, about to say something witty, when suddenly he felt his body suspended in mid-air.

"Hey, little girl, let go of this dragon right now! Don't you know a dragon's tail is the most sensitive spot? If you keep doing that, I'm going to scream!"

The little golden dragon, held upside down, didn't struggle; it simply crossed its arms over its chest and glanced sideways at Zi Yan.

"Pooh!"

Seeing that all eyes in the hall were on her, Zi Yan blushed slightly, threw it at Xiao Bai, and spat lightly.

Dragon's tail, dragon's buttocks.
That damn rogue dragon!

The little golden dragon didn't mind, chuckled, climbed onto Xiao Bai's shoulder, and quietly lay down, its tail swaying behind it intermittently.

Feeling a pair of eyes staring intently at it, it raised an eyebrow and followed its senses, only to meet the gaze of an aged pair of eyes.

This old man is not to be trifled with!
He gave an awkward laugh and said, "I was just joking with Ziyan!"

Zhu Li shook his head. He had heard Zi Yan mention this golden thunder dragon, but he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. After all, the Dou Qi Continent had a long history and a vast territory, and no one dared to claim to know all the secrets of the world.

But the scene of the little golden dragon entering the main hall just now gave him a very familiar feeling.

"Elder Zhuli seems quite interested in Xiao Jin?"

Seeing that Zhu Li's expression was different and he didn't seem to be pursuing what the little golden dragon had just said, a hint of doubt appeared in Xiao Bai's eyes.

"Palace Master Xiao may not know that there is a Void Thunder Pool near Donglong Island. The space there is extremely strange, and it emits a natural suction force all year round, causing a lot of chaotic energy to condense, eventually generating countless lightning bolts that accumulate there."

Zhu Li's voice slowly echoed in the hall, attracting everyone's attention. A strange light flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes. What Zhu Li was about to say might confirm his guess about the origin of the little golden dragon. He couldn't help but sit up a little straighter.

Cai Lin was also taken aback. She glanced at the little golden dragon and her ears perked up. She was also very curious about the little golden dragon's origins. Xiao Bai probably knew something about it, but he had never told her.

"Several years ago, I was handling affairs on East Dragon Island when I suddenly sensed a powerful energy fluctuation coming from the direction of the Void Thunder Pool. That vast aura, like the might of heaven, was incredibly strong. At that time, I felt like an ant. After that, I stood at the highest point of Dragon Island and looked in that direction."

At this point, Zhu Li paused, as if recalling the feeling at that time, a trace of palpitation flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, he composed himself and continued:
"Countless black demonic lightning bolts surged towards a certain point in the void, overwhelming everything. Just as I was wondering what was happening, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden light flickering in the void, trailing a long golden arc of lightning before disappearing in a flash, with the black demonic lightning bolts following closely behind."

After Zhu Li finished speaking, he looked at the little golden dragon, and the others followed his gaze.

Everyone witnessed the little golden dragon entering the hall. If it truly was the golden light that Zhu Li spoke of...
Everyone's gaze towards the little golden dragon changed; they hadn't expected this guy to have such a powerful background.

At this moment, besides the members of the Ancient Dragon Clan, only Yao Lao and Yao Tianhuo were in the hall. They were both very knowledgeable and naturally knew what Black Demon Lightning was.

That was the legendary lightning, said to appear only when a ninth-grade Xuan Dan appears in the world.

"Black Thunder?"

The old man murmured, as if recalling a scene that happened one day when he and Xiao Bai went to the Tager Desert and stayed in the holy city of the Snake People.

He was terrified at the time.

Since that time, a golden thunder dragon has lived in Xiao Bai's sleeve for many years.

He immediately understood that the golden lightning that Zhu Li mentioned must be the dragon that Xiao Bai was raising.

I never expected this guy to be so powerful. He was the one who attracted the black lightning. At the time, I thought Xiao Bai had done something that angered the heavens and the people, and was being struck by lightning!
Xiao Bai now confirmed the origin of the little golden dragon: it was the Nine Profound Golden Thunder from the Void Thunder Pool.

No, strictly speaking, it should be a wisp of its spirit that was separated from it.

Otherwise, even a wisp of the true Nine Profound Golden Lightning would have been more powerful than a Grand Master like him could have withstood.

Turning to look at the little golden dragon whose eyes were flashing rapidly, he asked softly:

Do you remember?

After a while, the little golden dragon stood up unsteadily, shook its head vigorously, and shook its head in frustration:
"I can't remember, I only remember that something was drawing me there, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw you and Mistress Rainbow Scales!"

Xiao Bai nodded thoughtfully and reassured him, "If you can't remember, that's fine. We should know when we go to the Void Thunder Pool later!"

"Palace Master Xiao wants to go to the Void Thunder Pool?" Zhu Li was slightly taken aback, his expression hesitant.

"What does Elder Zhuli mean by this?" Xiao Bai frowned slightly. Could it be that he couldn't go?
"You misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that after that incident, the Void Thunder Pool seemed to disappear, leaving only a huge void black hole. Perhaps a Void Thunder Pool will reappear in that place in a few years, but we may not live to see that day!"

Zhu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. Ever since that incident, for the safety of Dragon Island, he had made a point of waiting for the energy fluctuations to subside before going to check on it.

The once enormous Void Thunder Pool seemed to have never existed, almost making him wonder if his memories had been confused.

However, sensing the dense lightning energy remaining at the spot, even he felt a suppressed lightning power at its core.
Only then did he realize that it wasn't a memory illusion.

The Void Thunder Pool, which had existed for countless years near Dragon Island, has truly disappeared!
