People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 265 Eight Stars or Eight Revolutions?

The group that emerged from the spatial rift possessed an extraordinary aura, and the leader was none other than Wu Xiao, the sect master of the Cangming Sect.

His black robe fluttered in the wind, and he was surrounded by thick black mist. His imposing aura pressed down on Huangfeng Valley like a tangible force.

His eerie appearance practically screamed "I'm having an affair with the Soul Palace!"

"Wu Xiao, aren't you afraid of angering the senior by coming here in such a grand manner?"

Valley Master Yi Ziqian of Huangfeng Valley stepped into the air, his fighting spirit surging around him. Behind him, six or seven elders were also on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Before today, the Cangming Sect had never revealed its full strength. Now that all its elite forces had been deployed, the people of Huangfeng Valley were instantly filled with despair.

They could sense that among those dozen or so people, including Wu Xiao, there were actually six Dou Zun powerhouses!
Such a terrifying lineup far exceeded their understanding of the Cangming Sect.

Yi Ziqian's expression was solemn. As a Dou Zun powerhouse, his senses were even stronger, and he could sense that among these six Dou Zun powerhouses, apart from the three one-star Dou Zun, the other three were far stronger than him.

"A sect leader with the rank of four-star Dou Zun, two elders with the rank of eight-star Dou Zun, and three who have just broken through..."

Inside the small courtyard in the valley, Chen Xiao shook his head slightly.

The more I came into contact with these reclusive sects, the more I felt that the summary of "one hall, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions" was a joke.

“Brother Chen Xiao, Xun’er shouldn’t interfere before the people from the Soul Palace show up.”

As long as the Soul Palace doesn't show itself, this will be an internal struggle between two reclusive sects. As the masters of the Eastern Region, the Ancient Clan naturally cannot take sides.

However, Xun'er wasn't too worried. This was the territory of the ancient clan, and if anything unexpected happened, she could take control of the situation at any time.

"Don't worry, there's no need for the ancient clans to intervene; I can handle it."

"We need to be careful of those powerful figures who are just watching from the sidelines. Once Brother Chen Xiao shows up and they realize he's not a Dou Sheng, many of them might have other ideas," Xun'er warned.

The allure of Heavenly-rank combat techniques is self-evident.

Especially cultivation techniques. For those Dou Zun powerhouses who have compatible attributes but lack Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, this is the dawn of their breakthrough to higher realms, greatly increasing their chances of advancing to Dou Sheng.

From having no chance at all to having a glimmer of hope!
This is an improvement from scratch!

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After today, he may truly stand on the opposite side of the Soul Palace.

...

high in the air.

Wu Xiao ignored Yi Ziqian's warning and kept scanning the valley.

No matter how he probed, he could not find any aura above the level of Dou Zun.

The courtyard where Chen Xiao and Xun'er were located was completely empty in his eyes.

"Could it be that he really isn't a Dou Sheng level expert?"

With a suspicion forming in his mind, Wu Xiao's feigned respect vanished instantly, replaced by a glint of greed in his eyes.

As long as they are not Dou Sheng level experts, with the combined strength of the six Dou Zun of Cangming Sect and the hidden experts of the Soul Hall, wouldn't the probability of obtaining a Heavenly Rank Dou Technique be infinitely high?

Wu Xiao became more and more excited as he thought about it, but just then, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"You guessed right, but killing you will still be effortless."

Under the horrified gaze of the owl, the temperature plummeted, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Immediately, dense spatial fluctuations spread out from the space opposite the Cangming Sect group.

Ice and snow gathered there, and a frozen throne slowly formed. On that throne, a figure dressed in white robes slowly appeared.

At this moment, a sudden chill rose between heaven and earth!
Large snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and in a short time, the entire field of vision was covered in a sea of ​​snow. From afar, it was a silver-clad world, both enchanting and cold.

"what!"

"no, do not want!"

"Help...help..."

One scream after another followed. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, people from the Cangming Sect's team kept falling from the sky, as if their fighting spirit had dissipated in an instant. The scene was extremely bizarre.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until the three one-star Dou Zun were unable to escape falling from the sky that Wu Xiao and the remaining two eight-star Dou Zun elders realized the reason.

"Be careful. He can freeze the battle qi within your body!"

At the warning, the three quickly activated their techniques and retreated rapidly, until they had retreated over a thousand feet before stopping with lingering fear. Their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at the figure on the throne.

The countless powerful figures gathered outside the canyon also secretly gasped in astonishment.

Without even making a move, they instantly rendered three one-star Dou Zun powerless.

This person is terrifying!
"It's him…"

Among the crowd, the Ice Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly, recognizing Chen Xiao's identity.

After Chen Xiao killed Lei Zunzhe, his reputation grew, and many people gave him various honorific titles, including 'Ice Zunzhe'.

This is only one reason. In addition to other reasons, the Ice Venerable paid close attention to Chen Xiao and naturally knew what Chen Xiao looked like.

Just as many people were speculating about Chen Xiao's identity, a deliberately disguised old voice suddenly rang out from somewhere.

"I know this person. He is Chen Xiao, the master of Zixiao Pavilion in Tianbei, Zhongzhou. The Zixiao Pavilion he founded has no fewer than a handful of Dou Zun experts."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Clearly, many of them had heard of Chen Xiao's name, but this was the first time they had seen his true face.

Chen Xiao glanced at the crowd, his gaze settling on the Ice Venerable, and smiled slightly.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Xiao slowly rose, his calm voice resounding throughout the land.

"Cangming Sect, is it? I have no intention of pursuing your past grievances with Huangfeng Valley, nor am I concerned about future conflicts. But today, Huangfeng Valley, I will protect you!"

"The strange phenomena that attracted you all here were also caused by me. So, Cangming Sect and all of you who covet my fighting techniques, there's no need to hide yourselves. Come and fight! Today is your only chance to fight with all your might!"

Since war is unavoidable, let's just be direct.

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, his aura as an Eight-Star Dou Zun was revealed without reservation.

In an instant, an invisible realm opened up, the vast expanse covered the sun and moon, and the wind and snow shrouded the universe!

Enveloped by this domain, even those below the Dou Zun level found it incredibly difficult to circulate their Dou Qi, and the biting cold made them tremble involuntarily.

In this way, the few Dou Zun powerhouses hidden in the crowd instantly became as conspicuous as cranes among chickens.

Aside from the three remaining members of the Cangming Sect, there were actually six other Dou Zun powerhouses on the list!
One of the elderly men, with a hunched back, possessed the most powerful aura, far surpassing that of an ordinary nine-star Dou Zun. He was clearly a powerful expert who had entered the Nine Revolutions to Sainthood stage!
The old man was surrounded by a cold white aura. Under Chen Xiao's gaze, he slowly walked through the snow. Wherever he passed, the falling snowflakes stopped in mid-air and condensed into crystal-clear sword blades.

This person is also of the ice attribute!
Not only him, Chen Xiao discovered that, apart from the three from the Cangming Sect, all six Dou Zun powerhouses hidden among the crowd were ice-attribute!
The old man hovered a hundred feet away from Chen Xiao, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"The Pavilion Master of Zixiao Pavilion is indeed worthy of his reputation, but it is a bit too arrogant for him to make such a bold statement with only the strength of an eight-star Dou Zun."

As the old man spoke, a group of Dou Zun powerhouses, including Ice Venerable, gathered around.

A Heaven-rank fighting technique or cultivation method is enough to make them temporarily set aside their pride.

Just as Chen Xiao said, today might be their only chance to go all out!

Otherwise, once Chen Xiao returns to Zixiao Pavilion, it will be virtually impossible for them to seize it again.

Gazing at the figures surrounding Chen Xiao high in the sky, Xun'er's eyes blazed with golden flames as she imprinted each one into her mind.

In her jade-like hand, a jade slip had already appeared; with just a gentle squeeze, it would bring a surprise to everyone present. Huangfeng Valley Master Yi Ziqian gritted his teeth, waved his hand to repel the group of Dou Zong elders, and in a flash appeared behind Chen Xiao.

"Senior, I'm here to help you!"

He already knew Chen Xiao's identity, but he still didn't know Chen Xiao's age.

Therefore, there is no problem in addressing someone as a senior.

"Haha, okay."

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and, without further hesitation, waved his hand. In an instant, the snow within a radius of dozens of miles suddenly boiled and transformed into a sky-covering ice crystal tornado, roaring towards the most powerful old man.

Like a powder keg ignited, a great battle erupted instantly!
Although Yi Ziqian was willing to help, he was also aware of his own limitations. He glanced around and set his sights on a three-star Dou Zun whose strength was comparable to his own, and lured him to the distant battlefield.

The remaining Dou Zun also launched their attack at the same time. Except for the old man who was held back by the tornado for a moment, they all attacked Chen Xiao fiercely.

"Venerable Zixiao, please forgive me!"

"kill!"

With seven Dou Zun attacking at the same time, even Chen Xiao dared not be too careless.

The hand seals formed rapidly between his fingers, and dazzling lightning bolts rose from the soles of his feet, sweeping across his entire body.

"Three thousand thunder phantoms!"

Two figures identical to Chen Xiao materialized and simultaneously unleashed a punch along with the main body.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Six consecutive sounds of clashing echoed across the sky. Even though it was just a small test of their strength, it still caused large sections of space to shatter.

As the six were forced back, Wu Xiao, the sect leader of Cangming Sect, who was the only one not targeted, was overjoyed and slammed a solid punch into Chen Xiao's chest.

However, his smile lasted only a moment before turning into boundless fear.

Because Chen Xiao's body did not move at all under this punch, and the skin revealed under his tattered clothes, with its fine dragon scales, made Wu Xiao's pupils suddenly dilate.

"Are you trying to be cute to me?"

Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly thrust out his right hand, his palm surging with fighting spirit.

Wu Xiao's pupils shrank sharply as he tried to dodge, but it was too late. When the hand reached his head, he was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

Chen Xiao flicked his finger, and the ice sculpture shattered with a crash, turning into countless ice crystals that dissipated into the wind and snow.

"metropolitan!!!"

This horrifying scene terrified everyone present.

The dignified sect master of Cangming Sect, a four-star Dou Zun, couldn't even last a single move against Chen Xiao!
Just moments ago, this black owl came with great momentum, leading many to believe it was a powerful and terrifying figure.

I never imagined that their demise would be so casual…

"Don't be intimidated by him, you all support this old man!"

While the powerful figures were trembling with fear, the hunchbacked old man had already blasted the ice crystal tornado apart, and countless ice blades suddenly appeared, carrying a bone-chilling cold light, heading straight for Chen Xiao's face.

He possesses the strength of a peak first-stage Dou Zun, and a casual strike from him is in no way inferior to an ordinary Dou Zun using a Di-rank Dou Technique.

Chen Xiao's expression remained unchanged. After the old man made his move, he was able to clearly sense the other party's cultivation level.

"The so-called peak of the first-stage Dou Zun is, in the end, nothing more than a Dou Zun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao raised his hand and waved it, causing the countless ice blades to change direction and retaliate at an even faster speed.

The old man's pupils suddenly contracted, and with a thought, an indestructible shield of mysterious ice formed three zhang in front of him.

"boom!"

Two terrifying forces collided, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently, and space to crack inch by inch like a shattered mirror.

As fellow Dou Zun powerhouses, the six who had been previously forced back all realized a cruel reality.

In such a fierce battle, they almost couldn't even withstand the aftershocks!
Are those heaven-ranked fighting techniques or cultivation methods really something they can covet?

Moreover, even if they fought until Chen Xiao was exhausted and managed to kill him, with that hunchbacked old man around, how could they possibly win the fight?

Unless, of course, both sides suffer heavy losses, or even perish together!

Upon realizing this, the six Dou Zun powerhouses all tacitly distanced themselves from each other.

"Senior, we will use our fighting techniques to lend you a hand!"

"Ice Venerable Force, Frozen Heaven Palm!"

"Shattered Shadows of Cold Stars!"

"Thunderous Nine Heavens Halberd!"

"..."

In an instant, a strange, black, icy giant hand suddenly struck out.

Countless icy stars, condensed from the power of ice, flickered and transformed into endless fragments of ice blades, as if a multitude of stars were falling together.

He gathered the power of lightning to form a massive halberd blade, and unleashed a devastating strike with the force of a thunderbolt…

A variety of terrifying combat techniques unfolded simultaneously in the sky, dazzling the eye.

What's even more surprising is that these fighting techniques didn't target Chen Xiao; instead, they indiscriminately struck the battlefield where Chen Xiao and the old man were located.

Both of them are within the attack range!
The six major fighting techniques clashed together, creating an elemental reaction that unleashed destructive energy so powerful that even a nine-star Dou Zun would take it seriously.

"Incompetent bungler!"

The old man snorted angrily, and as his fighting spirit swirled, he let out a clear cry of an ice phoenix, instantly pulling himself thousands of feet away from the eye of the storm. He then looked at the six people in the distance with hostility.

Chen Xiao went even further, throwing a powerful punch that blasted the incoming destructive energy into a vacuum. He then turned around and saw cold white flames bursting out of his body, transforming into a boundless sea of ​​fire that enveloped all six of them.

The next moment, as if the Grim Reaper had called their names, the three weakest Dou Zun let out a wail, bleeding from all seven orifices, and fell from the air, instantly being burned to nothingness by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

"It's the power of the soul!"

The remaining Ice Venerable and the two Eight-Star Dou Zun from Cangming Sect were terrified and retreated thousands of feet to quickly form hand seals for defense.

However, the soul power they were so wary of did not surge forth; instead, two lightning phantoms attacked them.

Bang!
With a simple, unadorned punch, the ice mirror shield in front of the Ice Venerable shattered instantly, blood splattering across the sky as he fell from the heavens like a sandbag.

The two eight-star Dou Zun of Cangming Sect were dumbfounded. Just as they were about to change their defensive tactics, they saw a talisman radiating an extremely cold aura and decorated with strange patterns appear between them.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion followed, and icy blue, frigid energy spread out like a tidal wave, leaving countless people speechless.

After the terrifying aftershocks of energy subsided, everyone looked up, but they could no longer find the two Cangming Sect elders!

"Dead... dead?"

Incredulous gazes were cast toward the nonchalant young man high in the sky.

Even the hunched old man's throat moved involuntarily.

Two eight-star Dou Zun, gone in the blink of an eye!
Is this the performance expected of an eight-star Dou Zun?

I'd believe you if you told me he was an Eighth-Rank Dou Zun!
