People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 241 Complete Victory, Nine Heavens Venerable Falls!
The dark sky glowed with an eerie green light, stretching out endlessly.

The surrounding air had become damp without anyone noticing, and then fine rain began to patter down from the sky.

This sudden turn of events was keenly noticed by the powerful figures present.

This Nine Heavens Venerable was able to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth to such an extent by relying on his own immense battle qi.

Its formidable strength is evident from this!
"How dare you kill my Soul Palace Heavenly Venerable right in front of me, you old fool! No matter where you hide, my Soul Palace will settle this score with you!"

Nine Heavens Venerable originally wanted to save Old Ghost Zhaixing, but he backed down halfway through. Now, he could only watch helplessly as Old Ghost Zhaixing was completely obliterated before his eyes, and could only vent all his anger on Chen Xiao.

Like the old ghost who picks stars, she didn't connect the black-robed venerable one opposite her with Chen Xiao at all, and just thought that some old monster who had been in seclusion for many years had appeared.

"Hide? Why should I hide! I've been looking forward to having a peak Seven-Star Dou Zun opponent for a long time!"

A slightly hoarse voice came from beneath the black robe, and the aura of a six-star Dou Zun was released without reservation at this moment.

As his aura was revealed, the raindrops that were originally falling in a drizzle were transformed again by his powerful battle qi, all condensing into hailstones that fell like a dense hail of bullets.

The temperature in this space plummeted instantly, and a bone-chilling cold swept around. The Soul Hall protectors in the distance couldn't help but shiver, their battle qi freezing rapidly, and their bodies stiffening into human-shaped blocks of ice.

"Lord Nine Heavens Venerable, please save us! Please save us!"

"do not want!"

Amidst terrified screams and cries, dozens of Soul Palace protectors plummeted from the sky like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, their bodies shattered to pieces, yet not a single drop of blood was spilled. The scene was both clean and eerily unsettling.

A powerful Dou Zong who could be considered a hegemon in the Northwest Continent couldn't even withstand the extreme chill contained in Chen Xiao's Dou Qi when he stood before him!

"Old man, you're courting death!"

The Nine Heavens Venerable's body is of the water element, and his internal fighting spirit is affected by the surrounding cold air, showing signs of freezing.

She hurriedly channeled her fighting spirit to forcefully repel the chill, but when she turned around, she saw dozens of guardians dead before her eyes, and she was instantly enraged.

In truth, she didn't care about the lives of the Dharma protectors at all. Let alone dozens, even hundreds, they were like butterflies landing on a branch, insignificant.

What truly enraged the Nine Heavens Venerable was that Chen Xiao dared to act so arrogantly right under her nose, clearly showing that he didn't take her, the Nine Heavens Venerable, seriously.

With a furious roar, the Nine Heavens Venerable flicked his sleeves, unleashing a torrent of battle qi that instantly coalesced into a rapidly spinning rain curtain before him, crushing towards Chen Xiao.

"Kakaka-"

The rain curtain swirled in with a devastating force, like dark clouds pressing down.

But the closer it got to Chen Xiao, the more the rain curtain, which was powerful enough to collapse mountains and fill seas, froze rapidly with a crisp sound. By the time it reached Chen Xiao, it had completely turned into an iceberg full of holes.

Chen Xiao raised his hand and waved it, and the iceberg immediately rolled back, smashing towards the Nine Heavens Venerable with even more astonishing force than when it came.

Boom!

Enraged, the Nine Heavens Venerable smashed the flying iceberg to pieces with a single punch. The shattered ice fragments crashed down like meteorites, leaving the Soul Palace below riddled with holes.

She looked up at Chen Xiao, a surge of uncontrollable resentment welling up inside her.

Faced with Chen Xiao, he, being of the water element, was completely suppressed and helpless.

"you wanna die!"

With a furious roar, the Nine Heavens Venerable abandoned the long-range battle of fighting spirits and appeared in front of Chen Xiao in a flash. With extreme speed, he fiercely struck Chen Xiao's shoulder with a palm.

If long-range bombardment doesn't work, then close-quarters combat is the way to go!

Little did they know, this was exactly the situation Chen Xiao was most pleased to see at that moment.

Seeing the Nine Heavens Venerable's palm coming at him, Chen Xiao saw it clearly but did not dodge at all, letting her palm press on his shoulder.

Having succeeded in his attack, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Venerable, as if he had not expected to succeed so easily.

However, she was completely stunned the next moment.

Chen Xiao, who had taken the blow head-on, was completely unharmed except for the robe on his shoulder being shattered. He didn't even flinch, let alone suffer any serious injury.

The Nine Heavens Venerable stared wide-eyed and looked closely. Underneath the tattered robe, he could see that the exposed skin on the shoulders was covered with fine purple-gold dragon scales!
"Your attacks sound like you're being coquettish."

After personally verifying it, Chen Xiao became increasingly satisfied with the defensive power of the Dragon Emperor Ancient Armor. A palm strike from a peak Seven Star Dou Zun had not caused him any damage whatsoever!

Meeting the horrified gaze of the Nine Heavens Venerable, Chen Xiao sneered: "Watch closely, this is how you should beat someone!"

Although he was talking, Chen Xiao's movements never stopped.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Nine Heavens Venerable was stunned, he delivered a knee strike, slamming it hard into the Nine Heavens Venerable's chest.

Despite the excruciating pain in his chest, Jiutianzun quickly dodged, not wanting to give Chen Xiao a chance to press his advantage.

Little did she know that Chen Xiao had already anticipated her thoughts.

A flash of lightning appeared beneath Chen Xiao's feet, and two figures in silver robes identical to his suddenly materialized, immediately surrounding the Nine Heavens Venerable without a word.

Although these two clones are not as powerful as Chen Xiao's main body, they still possess combat strength comparable to a Dou Zun expert, which is more than enough to disrupt the Nine Heavens Venerable's defense.

boom! boom! boom!
Afterimages intertwined in the sky, and large swathes of space shattered in the fierce collisions, only to be constantly repaired and reassembled under the surge of energy.

The intertwined afterimages in the sky resembled vivid scenes.

These figures are all different and none of them are the same. The only thing they have in common is that in every frame, the Nine Heavens Venerable is being beaten up.

The Wind Venerable, who was pulling his opponent's hair in the distance, glanced at it and was immediately terrified.

Between these two, who is truly the peak Seven Star Dou Zun?
The fact that a high-level Dou Zun was being crushed like this by a mid-level Dou Zun was beyond his comprehension!
On the other side, the Iron Sword Venerable had already fought to the point of madness.

His black robe was tattered and torn, his body was covered in blood, and a large section of his chest was caved in, clearly indicating that he had suffered a fatal blow.

However, his opponent, the Soul Hall Elder who was at the peak of the Two-Star Dou Zun realm, was also in a sorry state. His left arm had disappeared, revealing a white and bloody shoulder bone, and a transparent skull was embedded in his lower abdomen. His injuries were even worse than those of the Iron Sword Venerable.

Looking at the other two battlefields between the puppets and the elders of the Soul Palace, the situation was much more peaceful. Although the fighting was fierce and intense, there was no bloodshed, and the two sides seemed to be evenly matched.

"Old man, what exactly is your relationship with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?!"

After taking countless punches and blows, the Nine Heavens Venerable finally managed to retreat far away, creating distance, thanks to the force of Chen Xiao's punches.

She stared at Chen Xiao with eyes full of resentment, and finally managed to glean some clues from him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

These Nine Heavenly Venerables are of the water element and their physical bodies are not strong. So far, apart from their slightly higher cultivation level, they have been completely outmatched by Chen Xiao in every other aspect.

I finally found such a great punching bag, and I had so much fun playing with him that I almost forgot myself.

It should be noted that from the moment he met the Old Ghost Zhaixing, Chen Xiao had been deliberately restraining himself and had not used his usual fighting techniques in order to avoid exposing his identity.

Although he had made up his mind to destroy this branch hall, the Soul Hall had endless tricks up its sleeve, and it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be any fish that slipped through the net or other unexpected events.

Unexpectedly, while playing, I still inadvertently revealed some clues.

However, it's not too serious.

"Hehehe, I have nothing to do with those trash from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. However, I did visit the Scripture Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion once, about ten years ago."

The theft of the Fenglei Pavilion's scripture repository is something explicitly mentioned in the original timeline. Although the Fenglei Pavilion tried to cover up this scandal, quite a few people within a small circle still knew about it, and anyone who wanted to find out could eventually do so.

Therefore, this is a perfectly reasonable explanation at present.

Upon hearing this, the Nine Heavens Venerable remained silent, unsure whether to believe it or not.

But there was one thing she was very clear about: if she didn't take real action now, she might really become a stepping stone for this black-robed venerable one.

Taking a deep breath, the Nine Heavens Venerable no longer hesitated.

"Netherworld Cold Wave Palm - First Roll of Cold Waves!"

With a furious roar, the Nine Heavens Venerable's palms flew like waves.

His fighting spirit surged forth, transforming into dozens of dark blue water whips. The whips were wrapped in a bone-chilling cold air and carried a sharp whistling sound as they tore through the air, striking at Chen Xiao's vital points like a swarm of snakes emerging from their holes.

Wherever the water whip passed, fine ice shards condensed in the air, clearly indicating that the water-attribute battle qi had been pushed to its limit, already carrying the corrosive power of ice.

"Trying to teach a fish to swim..."

However, Chen Xiao merely snorted coldly, his fighting spirit slightly emanating from his body, his figure weaving through the gaps in the water whip like a ghost.

Those icy whips, powerful enough to rupture the tendons of an ordinary Dou Zun, didn't even touch his robes.

Just as the water whip's force was about to dissipate, he suddenly spun around, and his hand, gleaming with a purplish-gold luster, emerged from beneath his black robe, directly grabbing the foremost water whip.

click-

The Dragon Emperor Ancient Armor's defensive power was domineering and unparalleled. Chen Xiao's palm was like an iron clamp, and he grabbed the flexible and tricky water whip, which instantly froze into ice. With a slight exertion of force in his palm, the dark blue ice whip shattered into a sky full of ice mist, and the cold energy within it was also dispersed by the fighting spirit in his palm.

"The Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace are nothing special!" Chen Xiao's voice was hoarse, filled with undisguised mockery.

Seeing this, the Nine Heavens Venerable's heart sank, but he was also aroused by his ferocity. He suddenly clasped his hands together and shouted, "Netherworld Devouring Water!"

A pitch-black vortex appeared out of thin air in front of her, its black water churning and emitting a chillingly corrosive aura that even swallowed the surrounding light.

As soon as the vortex formed, it lunged at Chen Xiao like a living creature, clearly intending to devour his fighting spirit and then take the opportunity to erode his meridians.

Instead of retreating, Chen Xiao advanced, his internal fighting spirit suddenly erupting, and the aura of a six-star Dou Zun swept out like a tsunami.

He pointed his finger in front of him, and the extremely cold battle qi gathered at his fingertip instantly transformed into an ice crystal spear. Before the vortex could get close, he hurled it out!

The ice crystal spear pierced into the black water vortex, but instead of being swallowed up, it acted as a catalyst, freezing the water at an even faster speed.

In just a few breaths, the pitch-black vortex that was powerful enough to corrode the fighting spirit of a Dou Zun was frozen solid into a black ice block full of cracks!

Chen Xiao flicked his finger, and the black ice lump shattered into powder.

"impossible!"

Nine Heavens Venerable's pupils shrank sharply. Seeing that her two major fighting techniques had been broken, she went berserk. Her fighting spirit surged wildly, and the water vapor within a thousand miles instantly evaporated, only to freeze completely with a fierce shout: "Nine Profound Ice Seal!"

In an instant, ice shards appeared like a forest, forming a massive ice cage hundreds of feet tall, trapping Chen Xiao in the center. The gray soul energy mixed in with the ice shards spread along the ice surface, attempting to annihilate his soul.

The Nine Heavens Venerable's figure moved around outside the ice cage, his palm winds constantly striking the ice shards, causing the ice cage to tremble violently, and the sharp points of the ice shards constantly piercing towards the person inside the cage.

Just when she thought she had succeeded, a soft laugh suddenly came from inside the ice cage.

"Is this all you can do?"

"boom!"

A burst of purple-gold light erupted from within the ice cage, once again demonstrating the domineering defense of the Dragon Emperor Ancient Armor. The piercing ice shards shattered like tofu upon impacting Chen Xiao's body.

He raised his hand and punched the ice cage wall. The entire ice cage, which was formed by the Nine Heavens Venerable with all his strength, collapsed in response. Amidst the flying ice shards, Chen Xiao's figure appeared in front of the Nine Heavens Venerable. The fighting spirit on his fist carried the sound of wind breaking and came straight for her face.

Nine Heavens Venerable was terrified. In his haste, he raised his palm to block, but the force of the punch caused his blood and qi to surge, and he staggered back, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Her prized Netherworld Cold Wave Palm technique couldn't even hold off Chen Xiao for a moment.

Completely outmatched in every aspect, and even with her full strength, she couldn't pose a threat to Chen Xiao. Even with her good mentality, Jiu Mei was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Your power... but why..."

As Chen Xiao approached him step by step, Jiutianzun was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

She couldn't understand how there could be such a person in the world, as if they were born to control her.

Having had enough fun, Chen Xiao had no intention of continuing to answer her questions.

Seeing that Jiutianzun's mentality had collapsed and she had lost her composure, Chen Xiao conjured an ice blade in his hand, preparing to send her on her final journey.

If these Nine Heavenly Venerables are eliminated, it can be considered as weakening the power of the Soul Palace in advance.

As for the Soul Clan…

Just as the Nine Heavens Venerable didn't take those protectors seriously, a peak Seven-Star Dou Zun was not enough to make the Soul Clan take him seriously.

"I am the Nine Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace. You know the consequences of attacking me..."

"I swear, if you really raise your sword against me, my Soul Palace will search every mountain and river to find you!"

"At that time, I will make you, and everything you cherish, pay the price for your death!"

"Stop right there! I'm ordering you!"

Every move he made was completely countered by Chen Xiao, and the last bit of fighting spirit in Jiutianzun's heart had been worn away.

She staggered backward, frantically forming hand seals, desperately trying to tear through space to escape.

The spatial rifts that used to appear with just a thought could now only create a few faint spatial ripples in front of her, no matter how hard she tried, before they vanished without a trace.

This futile struggle only made her look more disheveled and flustered, and even her retreating steps became unsteady.

Only now did he belatedly realize that escape was no longer an option, and the Nine Heavens Venerable completely descended into madness.

Advancing means death, retreating also means death, either way it's a dead end!

"I...how could I!"

She let out a shrill roar, her eyes bloodshot, and all traces of her former divine majesty were gone.

Since there's no way to retreat, let's fight to the death!

She suddenly gathered all the remaining fighting spirit in her body into her palms, and the dark blue light in her palms was so intense that it was almost burning. Even the surrounding water vapor turned into sharp ice spikes. Then, she rushed towards Chen Xiao without any regard for anything.

But to onlookers, his appearance didn't seem like he was trying to drag Chen Xiao down with him; rather, it looked like a desperate act of self-destruction born of panic.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xiao instantly enveloped the ice blade with blazing white bone spirit cold fire. As the firelight flickered, the blade gleamed with a chilling light.

In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in close combat.

Before the Nine Heavens Venerable's palm strike could land, Chen Xiao's blade flashed like lightning, tearing through the void.

A dazzling white blade of light flashed, tearing apart the figure in front of him and the surrounding space!
The shattered space quickly healed and reformed itself, but the Nine Heavenly Venerables had completely vanished without a trace. Only an unclaimed storage ring floated forlornly in mid-air, as if silently announcing the final fate of its original owner.
