Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 906 Soul Emperor: After me, every member of the Soul Clan shall be an emperor! (3k6-page long chapter!)
After a brief silence, Hun Ruoruo quickly put away these distracting thoughts and exhaled a long breath.

Although she has long since integrated into the Soul Clan and considers herself the young master of the Soul Clan, ultimately, she has never witnessed such a terrifying scene of the destruction of a clan before.

She saw countless lives lost, either surrendering or dying.

She saw that noble figures fell like rain, and saints perished like stars.

All life trapped in the Stone Realm, regardless of strength or gender, is merely a puppet under the Void Devouring Flame Hand, and even in death, they cannot see through this.

Detached.

This seemingly ordinary and ethereal word, at this moment, was like a curse, deeply imprinted in Hun Ruoruo's mind.

Only now did she finally grasp, to some extent, the Soul Emperor's extremism and obsession.

If one does not become the player in the game, one is like an ant in the game; no matter how high one stands, one is destined to become a laughing stock.

The Soul Emperor was no exception.

Above the Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) are the Emperors, but even among Dou Di (Battle Emperors), there are differences. The powerful are the Eight Emperors, who transcend the continent, while the weak are unknown ancient Dou Di who cannot even preserve their bloodlines.
"Ruoruo should know very well."

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, gentle and slow: "The Dou Qi Continent is not the limit of this world."

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo suddenly awoke.

She looked up at the other person and saw that the page representing the Stone Realm itself had somehow flown into the scholar's palm, like a vast chessboard, ever-changing and all contained within it.

"You mean... the secret of the Eight Emperors?"

Hun Ruoruo's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly understood his intention.

Even if the Soul Emperor is incredibly powerful, the secret of her two lifetimes can never be discovered. Therefore, the person being referred to could only be one of the legendary Eight Emperors who left the Dou Qi Continent.

The scholar nodded slightly and smiled, "The reason why the Eight Emperors left the Dou Qi Continent was very likely to break free from these constraints."

"The so-called constraints are mostly just the perceptions that cultivators impose on the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is not a living being, so how can it be generalized?"

Knowing that too much talk would lead to mistakes, Hun Ruoruo clearly dared not discuss the topic further and could only offer a perfunctory reply.

However, upon hearing Hun Ruoruo's reply, the scholar did not give up. Instead, he became even more interested, and a faint light flashed in his deep, starry eyes.

"Indeed, the laws of Heaven cannot be equated with those of living beings."

He nodded: "However, in the Dou Qi Continent, the sky is flat and the earth is square, but the stars that we cultivators see are mostly spheres, which is really hard to explain."

The scholar smiled gently, but his words were enough to shake the heavens and earth: "Therefore, in my opinion, isn't this Dou Qi Continent just like a chessboard?"

In an instant, Void Devouring Flame's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with apprehension, while Soul Ruoruo, an outcast in this world, had her mind go blank with a 'buzz'.

"you"

The Soul Emperor did not stop, but became even more interested, pondering deeply, "Just as cultivators cannot break through to higher realms in small worlds, it is precisely because we are in the game that we are destined to be unable to transcend. Only by gaining the recognition of the upper realm can we obtain the ability to escape the game."

At this point, the scholar's excited words came to an abrupt halt, tinged with a rare sense of loneliness and resentment, a chilling calmness.

"Looking at it this way, my perception of the Stone Realm is just like how the Upper Realm perceives me!"

Her calm voice, however, was like a thunderclap, causing all the distracting thoughts in Hun Ruoruo's mind to vanish at that moment, replaced by a long silence.

He is a genius.

Even as a heretic, even though she once hated the person in front of her to the core, she had to admit that her father was indeed a genius who could transcend the limitations of the Dou Qi Continent!
Taking a deep breath, Hun Ruoruo suppressed her concerns and finally asked the question that had been troubling her for so long: "So, this is the reason why Father chose to become Emperor?"

"You're willing to go to any lengths, even to be at odds with the world, just to transcend the Dou Qi Continent?"

However, upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor suddenly laughed and then shook his head.

"I think I'll stay here."

".?"

"The Soul Clan does not represent any individual, but a spirit, and the Dou Qi Continent is its root."

The scholar's eyes shone like stars, and his gentle, scholarly voice contained an undeniable air of dominance.

"After me, the Soul Clan shall all be emperors."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chessboard collapsed with a crash, and the entire Stone Realm finally came into contact!
"It's from the outside world! It's from the outside world!"

With an extremely excited roar, all the Stone Clan members, whose faces had been filled with despair, raised their heads as if they had grasped at their last straw.

"When the Void Devouring Flame confronts the Stone Realm, its own strength has already been greatly reduced, and it is not invincible!"

"Transcend, transcend! As long as we shatter the void, we, the Stone Clan, will be able to rise again!"

As everyone's hope was rekindled, Shi Xiaochou breathed a sigh of relief and urgently ordered, "Take the Shi Clan's prodigies and break through the void to escape!"

"Remember, this is our last chance!"

Upon hearing this, all the saints of the Stone Clan turned grim and said nothing more. They immediately transformed into streaks of light and rushed toward the still young prodigies.

"Ancestor, save me!" Upon seeing this, a young man trapped by the black flames cried out for help, his eyes shining brightly.

"With us continuing the bloodline of the Stone Clan, the deaths of those descendants are insignificant." A Stone Clan prodigy, who had been criticized by many descendants, was taken away by a Dou Sheng and immediately revealed a smug expression.

The only one who had witnessed the entire Heavenly Tomb was the honest man, whose face was ashen. He didn't even react when a Dou Sheng came to help, and just numbly fought against the Void Devouring Flame.

"Shi Xing, what are you doing? Come out at once!"

A Stone Clan Battle Saint urged him urgently.

Unfortunately, the honest-looking man named Shi Xing did not respond further.

"Weakness is not a reason for our destruction, but alas..."

Recalling the scene of the blue-haired girl ruling a world, the honest man sighed, burned the last drop of blood in his body, and willingly threw himself into the void of flames, turning into ashes.

Soon, most of the prodigies on the field were found. All the Battle Saints were fully armed, gathered the 'Shield of the Sovereign', and launched a breakout towards the largest gap in the Void Devouring Flame's body.

The force of a landslide and earthquake suddenly arose!

"A bunch of idiots, still daring to resist?!"

The Void Devouring Flame's body expanded wildly, almost reaching the heights of heaven and earth. With a single grab, it instantly cleaved countless streaks of light into its palm and refined them in a flash.

"Even if I have to fight against the will of the Stone Realm, even if the Xiao Clan's supernatural powers are an obstacle, it would be as easy as turning my hand to destroy you all!"

"not good!"

The terrifying pressure of the peak eight-star Dou Sheng caused the faces of the Stone Clan's saints to turn pale. They had never imagined that the gap between the two sides would be so vast. Just then, Shi Xiaochou, as the clan leader, finally used his bloodline power. With the blessing of the ninth-grade clan mark, he actually managed to break through the limit of the six-star Dou Sheng and touch the threshold of the seven-star.

"No matter how strong that Void Devouring Flame is, it is ultimately not a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and cannot be invincible in this world!"

Shi Xiaochou roared, "Gather the power of the entire clan, empower me, and I will break through!"

Upon hearing this, the saints felt as if they had found their pillar of support, and immediately activated their battle qi, continuously pouring it into Shi Xiaochou's body.

As a result, his strength increased rapidly, reaching the mid-stage of the Seven Star Battle Saint!

"Roar!!"

With a deafening roar, grooves resembling rocks began to appear on Shi Xiaochou's body. In a flash, he actually smashed through the body of the Void Devouring Flame!
"what?"

The Void Devouring Flame was greatly alarmed.

"not enough!!!"

Shi Xiaochou's face contorted with rage as he unleashed all his fighting spirit, finally illuminating the Xiao Clan patterns on his chest armor.

It was none other than the 'Shield of the King'!
However, compared to the ordinary 'Shield of the King', the armor on Shi Xiaochou's body at this moment appeared extremely tattered, even showing many signs of patching. But its power exceeded the sum of all the other Stone Clan Battle Saints.

That is
"Xiao Xuan's aura?!"

At this moment, the eyes of the Void Devouring Flame flashed with demonic light, and he was greatly alarmed.

"Hmph, this armor was made by piecing together the remnants of flesh and blood that Xiao Xuan left behind on the battlefield, and it has long since become one with this clan leader!"

Shi Xiaochou, with the Stone Realm on his shoulder and bloodshot eyes, laughed loudly: "Back then, Xiao Xuan was your Soul Clan's nightmare, and now, I, Shi Xiaochou, am destined to be one too!"

Having said that, he suddenly rammed into the stone barrier, and the barrier finally shattered at that moment!
The next moment, Shi Xiaochou instantly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

"Chief, did you succeed?"

Gazing at the Stone Sorrow that had broken through the boundary, the Stone Clan Saints breathed heavily, their breathing carrying a faint sense of unreality.

The Stone Clan has won!
Upon realizing this, the fear in the eyes of the saints instantly turned into wild joy, and they swarmed towards the outside world of the Stone Clan.

"This time, the Soul Clan will suffer a crushing defeat!"

On the other side, beyond the heavens.

Standing outside the stone boundary, Shi Xiaochou saw three figures with different expressions sitting on the tea table in front of him.

There is Hun Ruoruo, who is the young master of the current era.

There is also the Void Devouring Flame of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

and also
"Soul Soul."

Shi Xiaochou's face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled. He felt a great terror approaching and stared at the white-robed scholar with a look of utter horror.

"Soul Emperor!!!"

Upon hearing this, the scholar did not respond at all, but looked at the girl gently and earnestly instructed her: "Girl, look, once this chess game is broken up, the chess pieces can also break free from it."

"This guy is a problem." Hun Ruoruo frowned.

The Soul Emperor's smile deepened: "As far as the Upper Realm is concerned, perhaps we are too."

The upper realm? A chess piece?
Upon hearing those names that sounded like something out of a dream, Shi Xiaochou's pupils contracted. He turned his head and saw a page exactly like the one in Shi Jiechu's book, which had been flipped over and thrown on the ground like trash.

Within the Stone Realm, every single movement of countless Battle Saints and living beings was clearly visible.

"this--"

In an instant, Shi Xiaochou's eyes bulged out, and his entire eyeballs seemed to explode.

He completely broke down.

"Ahhh!!!"

Shi Xiaochou's lips twitched, and he almost went mad, activating the Xiao Xuan Shield on his chest. Like a brute from the countryside, he charged haphazardly towards the three of them.

Seeing this, Void Devouring Flame frowned and was about to make a move when he was stopped by a fair and slender jade hand.

"Noisy."

Hun Ruoruo whispered.

The next moment, Xiao Xuan's Shield, which Shi Xiaochou regarded as his life's treasure, seemed to have found another master and instantly severed all contact with him!

With just one word, he destroyed the Seven Star Battle Saint's life-burning attack!
"How is this possible?"

Shi Xiaochou collapsed to the ground with a thud, kneeling before the girl as if she were a demon descended from hell.

"Oh, you didn't know?"

While listlessly munching on sunflower seeds, Xu Wu Tun Yan chuckled and said, "Xiao Xuan is now the young master's artifact spirit."

These words undoubtedly extinguished all of Shi Xiaochou's hopes.

"what!!!"

He roared, tears streaming down his face, and crawled almost like a dog to the book, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Don't come out!"

"The higher realms are using my race as pawns!!!"

The next moment, Shi Xiaochou's body suddenly stiffened, and a large hand had been placed on his head without him even noticing.

"You are far from worthy to control the flesh and blood of my old friend."

The scholar spoke gently, and with each word he uttered, Shi Xiaochou's body stiffened a little more. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a rock and died.

"Kaka!"

The rock shattered instantly, and a shield and a piece of jade quietly fell into the scholar's palm.

"As a father, I don't have the habit of offering candied hawthorns as a perfunctory gesture."

The scholar casually tossed the jade stone under the ancient tree beside him, dusted off the shield, and then smiled as he handed it to the girl.

"So, this is the reward I owe you from last time."
