People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 259 Demon Saint's Essence Blood
laugh!
The Heaven-Covering Golden Seal collided violently with the sonic waves of the Yellow Springs' Wrath that swept across the heavens and earth. Instead of the expected deafening explosion, an eerie silence spread first.

Immediately afterwards, a visible soul shockwave spread wildly in a ring from the point of impact. Wherever it passed, space shattered like broken glass, the deep yellow clouds were torn into countless fragments, and even the mountain peak that rose from the ground below trembled under this force, with the throne at the top cracking open with countless fissures.

The soul giant that Chen Xiao had transformed into trembled violently, and waves of sharp pain came from the depths of his soul.

Even with his myriad methods, he was still only at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm. Even at his peak, there was still an insurmountable gap between him and the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.

Fortunately, in any case,
He ultimately accepted the wrath of the Yellow Springs!
Looking across, once the storm of souls subsided, the solitary mountain peak came into view.

On that mountain peak, after a clash of energies, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint sat back down on his throne, his already illusory body becoming even more transparent.

Clearly, the previous attack made his already bad situation even worse.

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint raised his head and looked up at Chen Xiao, who had returned to his original form, in the sky. A complex look flashed in his eyes.

"At the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, you are the first person to withstand my Wrath of the Yellow Springs and survive!"

Seeing that the Yellow Spring Demon Saint had no intention of continuing to attack, Chen Xiao knew that he had passed the test.

Immediately, he stepped through the void and walked step by step to the front of the mountain peak. Looking at the remnant soul of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint on the throne, he clasped his hands slightly.

"The Demon Saint is in too poor condition; otherwise, even if I were at my peak, I would not have been able to survive."

This is an undisputed fact.

However, looking at it another way, if the other party were really in good form, Chen Xiao wouldn't be able to play like this with him.

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint shook his head.

"A win is a win, a loss is a loss, there's no excuse. If I can't even accept this result, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?"

After saying this, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint looked Chen Xiao up and down and said sarcastically, "Even so, your soul must have suffered some damage, right?"

"Indeed, it will take a few days to recover."

Chen Xiao nodded frankly; this was nothing to be ashamed of.

On the contrary, as the Yellow Spring Demon Saint said, to withstand the Yellow Spring Heavenly Wrath with a soul at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm and survive is an honor if it were to be told!

"The reason why my Yellow Springs Wrath is so renowned is because its speed and coverage make it impossible for opponents to mount any effective defenses. In fact, some defenses cannot even take shape. You, junior, do have some tricks up your sleeve. The soul skill you just used is the best I have ever seen for resisting Yellow Springs Wrath."

There is no absolute spear or shield. If your fighting skills are invincible among those of the same level, it only means that you haven't encountered a way to counter you.

Or perhaps these methods haven't even appeared yet, or have even been lost to time.

The remnant soul of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint stared at Chen Xiao. After a long while, a rare smile appeared on his face. He slowly leaned back on the throne and said with a hint of melancholy, "This day has finally come."

"Senior, I have no intention of offending you in the slightest..."

"You accepted the Wrath of the Yellow Springs, so I will naturally give you what you want," the Yellow Springs Demon Saint waved his hand, neither confirming nor denying.

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his fingertips, and a condensed soul wave shot out like a streak of light, stopping steadily in front of Chen Xiao.

Sensing that there was no malice in the fluctuation, Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment before reaching out and grasping it.

The moment his fingertips touched that fluctuation, it transformed into countless streams of information, flooding into Chen Xiao's mind like a tidal wave.

The next second, ancient cultivation methods unfolded directly in his consciousness, causing a hint of joy to quietly appear in Chen Xiao's eyes.

He slowly closed his eyes, carefully sorting through the information in his mind.

A moment later, when she opened her eyes again, the smile on her face was hard to hide.

Unsurprisingly, the information stream contained not only the complete cultivation method for the Yellow Springs Wrath, but also the secrets of the Yellow Springs Finger and Yellow Springs Palm.

Obtaining it in this way is much easier to control than comprehending it from the Yellow Springs Stele!
"Thank you, senior!"

Having many skills is never a bad thing. Suppressing his joy, Chen Xiao respectfully bowed to the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.

"The purpose of my remaining soul is to wait for someone who can surpass me to carry on my legacy. Being able to withstand the wrath of the Yellow Springs is considered to have met the requirements. At your age, it is rare to have reached such a level."

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint smiled faintly and slowly opened his palm.

As he moved, wisps of pale golden liquid suddenly seeped from his illusory body. These wisps seemed to have a life of their own, flowing towards his palm and, in the blink of an eye, coalescing into a ball of crystal-clear golden liquid.

The moment this mass of liquid appeared, it instantly became the focal point of the space, making it difficult to look away.

The life essence of a half-emperor!

Such an opportunity would likely tempt even the eight ancient clans if they knew about it.

Chen Xiao's gaze was fixed on the ball of golden liquid, and he could clearly sense the immense energy contained within it.

He even had a feeling that even with his current physical strength, consuming this ball of essence blood would probably cause him to burst instantly!

"I have dominated this world, and my soul has even broken through to the legendary Emperor Realm, which is beyond the reach of countless people. However, I have never been able to cross the final step of becoming a Dou Di."

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint gently brushed his fingers across the golden essence blood in his palm, his voice filled with an unyielding sense of loss and resentment, which stirred the hearts of those who heard it.

If the Yellow Spring Demon Saint was like this, and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was like this, then Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan was no exception.

These powerful figures who left their mark on history were all exceptionally talented, yet none of them managed to take that final step.

Perhaps it is precisely because they are more outstanding that their regret and resentment are even stronger.

Imagine this: before reaching the peak of Dou Sheng, their cultivation progressed with unstoppable momentum, reaching levels that others could never attain in their entire lives. However, just as they were preparing to make a final push towards the Dou Di realm, a realm most wouldn't even dare dream of, they discovered their path was blocked, with no way to proceed. What utter despair that would be…

Those who haven't experienced it can never truly understand.

But just imagining it makes one sigh.

"Even though you failed to take that final step, you are still a legend in the Dou Qi Continent."

Chen Xiao spoke up at the opportune moment, and although his words carried a hint of admiration for going with the flow, they were all true.

The number of living beings on the Dou Qi Continent is countless, but in the past ten thousand years, there have only been a handful of universally acknowledged strong individuals.

Whenever this matter is discussed, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint is always mentioned!

"Hehe, it's all for nothing. Without reaching the Dou Di level, it's all just a bubble. But the Dou Di level will probably never appear in this world again." Huang Quan Demon Saint shook his head.

Others might believe this, but Chen Xiao disagreed.

Even without him as a variable, if everything had followed the original trajectory, a new Dou Di would have been born in just a few years.

"You don't seem to believe me? Heh, I was just like you back then, thinking that what no one before me could do, I could definitely do. But when I truly reached the end of the road, I realized that something seemed to be missing from this world."

Noticing Chen Xiao's expression, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint assumed he was just young and impetuous, as if he were seeing his former self in him.

"I can't say for sure what the specifics are. Right now, I'm just a remnant soul. Over the long years, I've lost too many memories."

He didn't insist on getting Chen Xiao to agree with him; he would naturally understand what Chen Xiao meant once he reached that level.

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint slowly shook his head, his voice carrying a sense of vicissitude and antiquity. He looked at the golden liquid in his palm, finally sighed, and with a wave of his hand, the ball of golden liquid floated towards Chen Xiao.

"It is fate that you were able to come here, and it is your ability to withstand the wrath of the Yellow Springs. When I was your age, I was only a six-star Dou Zun with a Spirit Realm soul. You are more outstanding than I was back then. Perhaps you can find a glimmer of hope. I will teach you my ultimate technique in the hope that it will help you. But remember, the Yellow Springs' ultimate technique is not passed on to mediocre people!"

Golden blood slowly fell into Chen Xiao's palm, and the vast and powerful energy fluctuations caused the blood in Chen Xiao's body to become much hotter.

"Thank you, senior!"

Carefully storing the demon saint's essence blood, Chen Xiao looked up.

But then they saw that the mountain peak was beginning to crack again, and the countless cracks on the throne on it were gradually widening, showing signs that it might explode at any moment.

Meanwhile, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint sitting on the throne was becoming increasingly ethereal.

"Senior, I once met a peak Dou Sheng expert with a soul at the Emperor Realm. He spoke of the wonders of the Emperor Realm soul. Although you are a remnant soul, you should still have a chance to revive, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint glanced weakly at Chen Xiao and smiled with some relief.

"It is enough that you have this intention. Although the soul of an Emperor Realm expert is divine, it is not truly immortal."

"Take myself as an example. After my fall, although my soul was preserved, it will still suffer natural depletion even if I do nothing. The speed at which I repair it cannot keep up with the speed of depletion, so I am losing money."

"That is why, even for a powerful being with an Emperor-level soul, once they fall, it is only a matter of time before they completely disappear from the world."

"It is true that our souls are powerful, but once they are damaged, the difficulty of repairing them is far greater than that of a soul body below the Emperor Realm. The advantages and disadvantages have always been so clear, and this is true of everything."

"Of course, if an opportunity arises, that's another story."

"I see," Chen Xiao suddenly realized.

No wonder so many towering figures of strength ultimately faded away from the world with resentment.

However, opportunities that are beneficial to the soul…

Chen Xiao's heart stirred, and he asked, "I wonder if the Spirit-Nourishing Powder will have any effect on you, Senior?"

Spirit-nurturing powder, with Soul Infant Fruit as the main ingredient.

The function of the Soul Infant Fruit is to repair the original soul energy!

Although it has been refined into spirit-nurturing powder, theoretically it should still be able to play some role.

"It's useful, but not much. It only allows remnant souls like us to prolong our lives for a few more years. Moreover, I remember that the Spirit-Nourishing Powder was lost in ancient times. If you have the chance to obtain some, you should keep it for yourself. I am now in a state where what's done is done and cannot be easily reversed."

Seeing through Chen Xiao's intentions, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint laughed.

Those who can cultivate to this level have long seen through life and death.

Their only regret might be that legendary Dou Di realm.

Upon hearing the words of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, Chen Xiao's heart stirred slightly.

A small amount of prenatal dust is not enough, but what if the amount is larger?

This would be difficult for others, but for him, who possessed the recipe for the Spirit-Nourishing Powder Pill, it was not impossible.

Moreover, if we can delay the opponent's dissipation, and after a few more years, when Chen Xiao has greater abilities, perhaps he will have more solutions.

In this way, it seems there really is a chance for these top experts to reappear in the world!
With a slight bow, Chen Xiao couldn't wait to give it a try.

"A broken mirror is hard to mend, but it is not impossible! Senior, please allow me to give it my best!"
