Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 408 Anyone who dares to steal it, this dragon will never forgive them!

"The Heavenly Tomb is divided into three layers. The energy bodies in the first layer are mostly below the three-star Dou Zun level, with only instincts and no consciousness. The second layer is mostly in the range of three to eight stars, which is quite troublesome. As for the third layer, that is already the core area of ​​the Heavenly Tomb. It is said that Senior Xiao Xuan's tomb is located deep in the third layer."

In the misty, desolate world, only occasional glimmers of light drifted by. Gu Qingyang, having heard that the journey was to Xiao Xuan's tomb, began to explain in detail.

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly seemed to sense something, abruptly turned his head, and raised his arm to grab in a certain direction.

"boom!"

The space collapsed, the mist twisted and turned, and in the blink of an eye, several illusory figures appeared.

He clenched his fist, and the illusory figures, struggling, suddenly exploded, transforming into several streams of light that flew into his hand.

"Is this the energy core?"

Xiao Bai examined the several rhomboid crystals, each about the size of a thumb, in his hand. They were filled with energy mist and shimmered with fluorescent light.

"That's right, this is the unique energy core in the Heavenly Tomb, containing pure energy, which is a great tonic for cultivation."

With her hands behind her back, Xun'er followed closely beside Xiao Bai. Without her previous worries, even her steps became lighter.

"Brother Xiao Bai, these energy cores are divided into nine levels. The one you have is about level two or three. You can absorb it and feel it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai had just begun to circulate his cultivation technique when his palms felt cold, and several energy cores instantly disappeared.

"Uh"

Xun'er's beautiful eyes widened. She knew that Xiao Bai's cultivation technique was not simple, but she did not expect that these few energy cores were like a few cups of water being poured into a lake to him, without making a ripple at all.

Xiao Bai was also taken aback for a moment. He opened his palm, looked at his empty hand, and felt the negligible increase in energy within his body. He smiled helplessly.
"This isn't even enough to fill a gap between your teeth."

Gu Qingyang, Gu Xing, Gu Hua and the others looked at each other, their facial muscles twitching slightly.

Those energy cores were a decent boost for them, but when they reached Xiao Bai, they resulted in this unexpected situation.

Just how powerful is this guy's fighting spirit?
"It's alright, Brother Xiao Bai,"

Xun'er quickly recovered from her surprise, smiling sweetly and speaking in a light tone.

"This is just the lowest level of energy at the entrance to the Heavenly Tomb, so the condensed energy core is naturally thin. Once we enter the second or even the third level, the energy bodies there will be stronger, and the condensed energy cores will be of higher quality. That should be able to have a significant effect on you."

Xiao Bai nodded, his gaze sweeping over the misty, desolate land, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

Although a few energy cores won't cause much of a stir in his body, even a small mosquito is still meat. If the quality isn't enough, quantity will make up for it. He won't waste time on the first floor, but if he encounters one, don't blame him for being impolite.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time here."

Xiao Bai flexed his wrists and a smile played on his lips. "Let's head straight deeper in."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyang pondered and said, "Brother Xiao Bai is quite right. With our strength, we certainly don't need to linger too long on the outer perimeter of the first level. However, we will inevitably encounter energy swarms on our way deeper, so we must be careful to avoid being surrounded by a large number of them."

"It's alright." Xiao Bai's tone was calm, yet it naturally revealed a strong sense of confidence. "Just stick close to me."

Having said that, he no longer hesitated. With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of green and took the lead in rushing towards the deeper area where the energy he sensed was even more concentrated.

Wherever he went, an invisible force field seemed to form around him, pushing away the thin mist and sending streams of light rushing toward him.

Without hesitation, Xun'er immediately moved, like a light and graceful butterfly, closely following behind.

Xiao Yan smiled, gestured to Gu Qingyang and the others, and with a flash of silver light beneath his feet, he unleashed the Three Thousand Thunderbolts and quickly gave chase.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyang and the others no longer hesitated and urged their battle qi to follow closely behind.

The team's speed suddenly increased. They were no longer as cautious and methodical as before, but instead advanced rapidly into the depths of the first level of the Heavenly Tomb in an almost reckless manner.

"It's great! It's a fantastic location!"

Within Xiao Bai's sleeve, the little golden dragon gazed at the ever-growing pile of energy cores before it, its face beaming with uncontainable joy. With a howl, it pounced directly onto the accumulated energy cores, taking a deep breath and savoring the rich, invigorating energy, its eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

"You guys are too slow!"

Xiao Bai turned around helplessly, looking at the group of ancient clan members and Xiao Yan who were struggling to keep up behind him. He had been controlling his speed, but these guys were still panting heavily.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyang and the others couldn't help but show a wry smile on their faces.

It's not that they're slow, it's just that this pathfinder is too abnormal.

"Hey, brother-in-law, can't you feel the immense energy pressure inside this Heavenly Tomb?" someone asked cautiously.

In an instant, Xun'er's pretty face flushed crimson. She glanced at Gu Hua, who had spoken, but seeing their pale faces, she immediately understood the reason and turned her head to say softly:
“Brother Xiao Bai, this Heavenly Tomb is extremely large, and the deeper you go, the greater the energy pressure becomes. Therefore, they cannot fly for too long. Normally, they can only move forward on foot most of the time. In addition, they will encounter energy bodies along the way. So it usually takes three or four months to go from the first to the second level.”

She stayed by Xiao Bai's side the whole time, letting him lead the way, without feeling anything in particular.

However, this made things difficult for Gu Qingyang and his group. Even though Xiao Bai was dealing with the energy bodies ahead of them and they were focused on traveling, keeping up with him was still extremely difficult.

"Pressure?! Is this pressure very strong?"

Xiao Bai looked around, somewhat bewildered.

Compared to the scenarios he had encountered before, this level of pressure was like a gentle breeze, utterly insignificant.

Seeing his seemingly oblivious expression, everyone nearly vomited blood.

Gu Qingyang, panting, said with a wry smile, "Brother Xiao Bai, the energy pressure of this Heavenly Tomb not only targets battle qi, but also the soul. The deeper we go, the stronger it becomes. We need to constantly circulate our battle qi to resist it, so our speed naturally can't be fast, and we can't fly for long periods of time. Not everyone is like you."

abnormal!
Everyone thought to themselves, "We're working ourselves to the bone, and this guy is not only carrying Xun'er forward, but also harvesting energy bodies along the way, yet he doesn't seem to be having any trouble at all. In fact, he's getting faster and faster. Is he even human?"
"Brother Bai, why don't you go ahead first, we'll catch up later!"

Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile. Among the group, he had the lowest cultivation level and had not yet reached the Dou Zun level. He had been gritting his teeth to barely keep up with the others. If it weren't for the strange fire in his body, he would have given up long ago!
"never mind!"

Xiao Bai waved his hand, and amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he lightly stomped his toe on the air.

Om-!
A huge and mysterious Tai Chi symbol suddenly appeared beneath his feet, slowly rotating and unfolding.

The pattern is distinctly gold and black, with the two poles intertwined and the Taoist charm flowing, emitting a strange force field that encompasses all things and harmonizes Yin and Yang, pushing away much of the surrounding energy pressure.

"Get inside the Taiji diagram area, I'll take you there!"

Xiao Bai looked at the pale-faced, unsteady-breathing crowd behind him, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

He recalled Gu Yuan's words: normally, the Heavenly Tomb could open in three years, but they hadn't entered normally this time, so they only had one year. If they spent three or four months on the first level, by the time they reached the truly core third level and Xiao Xuan's tomb, it would probably be too late.

Everyone except Xiao Yan was stunned at the sight, then their eyes lit up with surprise.

Although they didn't know the specific purpose of this magical pattern, since he had spoken, he must be able to solve their current predicament.

Xiao Yan was the first to enter. He had experienced the Tai Chi diagram in the Beast Domain before and knew how fast it was.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Qingyang and the others immediately took a deep breath and stepped into the slowly rotating Taiji diagram.

Upon entering, everyone was jolted, their faces instantly filled with unbelievable ecstasy.

The omnipresent, oppressive force of the Heavenly Tomb that constantly weighed on their fighting spirit and souls receded rapidly like a tide the moment it entered the range of the Taiji Diagram!
No, it didn't completely disappear, but was cleverly neutralized and dissolved by a higher and gentler force!

The pressure they feel right now is probably less than one-tenth of what it was before!
"What...what kind of fighting technique is this?!"

Gu Qingyang felt the battle qi within his body flowing smoothly again, and the ease in his soul, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

This method is incredible; it can directly resist and even resolve the oppressive power of the Heavenly Tomb's rules!

The other members of the ancient clans were also extremely excited, breathing heavily as if they had been reborn.

Xiao Yan, who had been gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, finally let out a long sigh of relief. His tense body relaxed, and the strange fire within him returned to a stable state.

Xun'er stood beside Xiao Bai, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at the mysterious Tai Chi diagram at her feet, then glanced at the calm young man beside her, a proud smile curving her lips.

Her brother Xiao Bai always manages to create miracles.

"Stand firm, everyone."

Seeing that everyone had adapted, Xiao Bai offered a casual reminder. Then, a thought flickered in his mind.

The Tai Chi diagram beneath their feet shone brightly, its rotation speed subtly increasing, carrying everyone within the diagram and transforming them into a streak of light, hurtling steadily towards the depths of the first level at a speed far exceeding their previous speed!

This time, it wasn't Gu Qingyang and the others desperately chasing after them; instead, everyone was carried forward at high speed by Xiao Bai's power!
The surrounding scenery rushed past, and the fog was parted by an invisible force field.

Along the way, there were still energy beings that were not afraid of death or were driven by instinct, but they were instantly annihilated by the Yin and Yang thunder that flowed naturally in the Tai Chi diagram, turning into streams of light that entered Xiao Bai's sleeve.

"Is this...is this still the Heavenly Tomb?"

Gu Hua couldn't help but sigh. He even had time to appreciate the scene rushing past on both sides. In the clan's records of the trials in the Heavenly Tomb, this was like heaven and earth.

"They're practically here for sightseeing..."

Gu Zhen murmured, looking at Xiao Bai standing with his hands behind his back and his clothes fluttering in the wind, his feelings were extremely complicated.

He recalled his unpleasant conversation with Xiao Bai in the Black Corner Region, and his heart was filled with even greater shock.

This guy may be arrogant, but he has the right to be arrogant!

On the other side, seeing streams of light constantly entering Xiao Bai's sleeves, Xiao Yan could only smile wryly. For him at this moment, dealing with even one of those energy entities required all his strength.

But with Brother Bai, it's like coming to buy goods, and with free shipping!
While everyone was confused, the Tai Chi diagram helped to support and resist the pressure, increasing the team's speed of progress by more than tenfold.

What would normally take months was accomplished in less than three days under Xiao Bai's control, and the scenery ahead began to change once again.

At the edge of the dark red earth, an enormous, seemingly endless, twisted energy screen slowly came into view.

"Such a powerful pressure! If one's strength is insufficient, one would likely be crushed into dust!"

Seeing that the Taiji diagram did not stop at all and directly crashed into the extremely vast light screen, Xiao Yan was curious and his palm passed through the edge of the Taiji diagram, but he withdrew it as if he had been electrocuted.

"Haha. Brother Xiao Yan, you may not know this, but without the cultivation of a five-star Dou Zun, one cannot enter this second level."

A kind-looking man next to him laughed and explained.

"Is it true that no one below the Five-Star Dou Zun level can enter?"

Xiao Yan gasped sharply. He knew the pressure at the entrance was strong, but he didn't know it would be this strong.

"If the second floor is like this, then what about the third floor?"

Hearing his surprised murmur, Gu Qingyang shook his head and smiled:
"If Xiao Bai hadn't gone there this time, we would have stayed on the second floor at most. With our current strength, we wouldn't have been able to reach the third floor!"

"Boom!"

As everyone was talking, the Tai Chi diagram crashed directly into the energy barrier, and several members of the ancient clan with lower cultivation levels subconsciously closed their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the scene before them had instantly changed.

"That is."

"One, two, three, four, fifty-two energy bodies, all of them seven-star, and some even eight-star. All are on high alert."

Gu Qingyang's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply. His internal fighting spirit erupted without reservation, and the aura of a five-star Dou Zun swept out.

I didn't expect to encounter such a scene as soon as I entered the second floor.

The other members of the ancient clans were also on high alert, their expressions changing drastically. They immediately activated their battle qi, nervously watching the dozen or so energy bodies emanating terrifying auras in front of them.

These energy entities were several times more solid than those on the first layer, almost indistinguishable from real people, with their eyes flashing with a violent red light, and the energy fluctuations surging around them were terrifying.

The combined aura of twelve individuals at the Seven Star Dou Zun level or above created a pressure so tangible that it made everyone who had just stepped into the second level gasp for breath.

Xiao Yan's pupils also contracted, and the strange fire within his body surged wildly as he prepared for battle.

If it weren't for that figure standing with his hands behind his back in front of them, they would have no choice but to turn around and run away if they encountered such a lineup!
"Xiao Bai, we've held off a few for you, look." Gu Qingyang looked ahead with a serious expression, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Bai's sleeves fluttered a few times, and in the blink of an eye, a golden light shot out, accompanied by an excited roar that resounded like thunder in everyone's ears:

"What's mine is all mine! Anyone who dares to take it, I, Long, will never forgive them!"

“!!” Xiao Bai.

“! Xun’er!”
