People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 329 Eight Turns
Returning to his seat, Xiao Xuan clenched his fist, and a scroll painted with various flame patterns appeared in his hand.

Xiao Xuan gently waved his hand, and the scroll floated towards Chen Xiao, hovering quietly in front of him.

"Let's make a deal."

"According to what you said earlier, that little fellow named Xiao Yan has mastered three different flames and is the most outstanding person in the Xiao clan today. I have no chance to meet him, but as an ancestor, I can still take care of him."

"This scroll contains a secret technique that I created myself, called the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire. Its grade may not be top-notch, but it is very important to the Xiao Clan."

"Because, with the help of this secret method, one can cultivate the clan emblem of my Xiao clan!"

"I am unable to leave the Heavenly Tomb, so I would like to ask you to pass on this secret technique to Xiao Yan. This can be considered as a small contribution from my unworthy ancestor to them."

"In return, young friend, you can also examine the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, and even have those around you cultivate this technique. Although you do not have the bloodline of the Xiao Clan and cannot maximize its effect, it can still be of some help."

"Furthermore, the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire contains some of my ingenious ideas. If you wish to create a unique clan emblem for your descendants and establish your own lineage in the future, you should be able to draw some inspiration from it."

Xiao Xuan was a decisive person. Since Chen Xiao was unwilling to become a member of the Xiao clan, he would find another way to help his clan.

Chen Xiao caught the scroll, opened it, and examined it carefully.

The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire are also circulated in the outside world, especially in the Burning Flame Valley, where they are passed down.

However, the three transformations of the Heavenly Fire in the outside world are actually incomplete, lacking the final step.

What Xiao Xuan is giving us now is the true Heavenly Fire Three Transformations.

"This matter is simple. I will personally hand it over to Xiao Yan when I see him." Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, young friend."

"The second deal concerns Xiao Chen. If the opportunity arises, I would like to ask you to help Xiao Chen. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I am willing to lend a hand should you ever have any ideas about the Heavenly Tomb in the future!"

Giving Xiao Yan the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame was merely a gesture of care for a junior.

To think that a single Dou Zong could revive the Xiao Clan is pure fantasy.

After much deliberation, Xiao Xuan concluded that Xiao Chen's escape might offer a glimmer of hope.

After all, when Blood Axe Xiao Chen disappeared, he was already a Dou Sheng powerhouse with considerable fame.

Of course, Xiao Xuan was also aware of the current situation. He could not threaten Chen Xiao in the slightest. Therefore, he spoke with the utmost sincerity to avoid causing Chen Xiao to feel resentful.

Xiao Xuan had considered it very clearly. If Chen Xiao could successfully rescue Xiao Chen, that would be the best outcome.

Even if Chen Xiao forgets about this matter after leaving the Heavenly Tomb, it's really not a big deal.

If the Xiao clan encounters another crisis at that time, Chen Xiao might feel guilty and lend them a helping hand.

To put it more bluntly, Xiao Xuan's actions were a gamble on Chen Xiao's character!

If you bet right, everything will be fine.

Even if you bet wrong, it won't be too bad.

Chen Xiao wasn't surprised to hear Xiao Xuan's words.

"There are still four years until the Pure Lotus Demon Flame is born. I will most likely make a trip then. As for rescuing Xiao Chen, I can only promise to do my best."

The timing of the emergence of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame will not change, but the current situation on the continent and the original trajectory of development have long since deviated. Who knows what it will be like in four years?

Therefore, one should not make overly definitive statements, but simply do one's best.

"That is enough."

Xiao Xuan nodded and smiled. He was a little worried if Chen Xiao had agreed immediately, but the way he was saying it now seemed more like the truth.

"That's all for now. Young friend, you've entered the Heavenly Tomb in your avatar, so you're probably not in a hurry to leave. Why don't you stay in my tomb for a few more days and we can have a good chat? I haven't interacted with anyone for many years, and I'm quite curious about the outside world."

"Senior wants to know about the Soul Clan, right?"

"It's really hard to let go of."

Xiao Xuan did not hide his hatred. Otherwise, he would not have left the tomb every now and then to cause trouble for the Soul Clan energy body on the third level of the Heavenly Tomb.

"The Central Continent of today has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to a thousand years ago. Following the Xiao Clan, the Spirit Clan was also wiped out by the Soul Clan. Recently, the Soul Clan has also set its sights on the Stone Clan, and it seems that it won't be long before the Stone Clan is also eliminated..."

Time was cheap in the Heavenly Tomb, and Chen Xiao was happy to chat with Xiao Xuan for a while. He then began to explain what he knew.

We talked about the overall situation on the mainland, some anecdotes, and occasionally exchanged our experiences in cultivation...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed quietly in this silent ancient palace.

...

the other side.

Beneath a precipitous peak, Xun'er slowly dispersed her cultivation hand seals. As she opened her beautiful eyes, a vast and boundless aura emanated from her.

In the past two years, Xun'er has devoted almost all her energy to cultivation and has never worried about the energy core.

With Chen Xiao's avatar providing such an unlimited supply, Xun'er's strength has undergone a qualitative change in just two years, becoming more than a hundred times stronger than when she first entered the Heavenly Tomb!
"Eighth-level Dou Zun, much faster than we expected. There are still more than half a year left, advancing to the ninth level is not a problem." Meeting Xun'er's gaze, Chen Xiao smiled lightly.

"Thanks to Brother Chen Xiao, in the past two years, in order to search for energy cores of the semi-saint level and above for Xun'er, Brother Chen Xiao exhausted the energy of two of his avatars. If Xun'er doesn't live up to his expectations, she will be letting Brother Chen Xiao down after all his hard work." Xun'er said with a bright smile.

Hunting energy beings will inevitably consume energy.

Although each expenditure is minimal, it can accumulate over time.

Therefore, the incarnation before her was the last Ice Soul Talisman that Xun'er carried.

"Brother Chen Xiao seems to be in a particularly good mood today. Has something good happened outside?" Xun'er asked curiously, sensing Chen Xiao's mood.

In fact, Chen Xiao has been in a good mood during this period.

It's just that Xun'er has been refining the energy core recently, and only woke up today to realize it.

"There are indeed some good things."

Chen Xiao smiled and, without hiding anything, continued, "Now another major event has occurred in the outside world: the Stone Clan has disappeared."

“Last time the Spirit Clan disappeared, I was 99% certain that it was the Soul Clan who did it, but this time, several elders on Dragon Island witnessed it with their own eyes.”

"Even the Void Devouring Flame who led the team didn't expect that, with your father being watched to death by the Soul Emperor, someone would still be able to slip into the Stone Realm by avoiding his senses. Thanks to his carelessness, Dragon Island has reaped a great harvest this time."

In fact, Chen Xiao had already put it quite tactfully.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Longdao made a fortune this time.

When the Void Devouring Flame attacked the Stone Clan, the Great Elder of the Ancient Dragon Clan had already emptied the Stone Clan's resources, leaving not a single pill behind.

According to the message from Zi Yan, after realizing this, the killing intent that Void Devouring Flame unleashed was even stronger than when it attacked the Stone Clan's experts, almost revealing a flaw that Gu Yuan and the others noticed.

After listening to Chen Xiao's story, Xun'er couldn't help but chuckle.

“Although the Stone Clan is no longer what it used to be, its foundation still far surpasses any force openly present in the Central Continent. With this foundation, Dragon Island must have surpassed the Thunder and Flame Clans in every aspect, right?” Chen Xiao nodded frankly. “That’s right. Moreover, your father and the others have now guessed that it was the Soul Clan that destroyed the Stone Clan, and they have focused all their attention on the Soul Clan. They have even formed a four-clan alliance and have not paid any attention to the Ancient Dragon Clan. Only the Soul Clan might have some suspicions.”

"With the four races united, it won't be so easy for the Soul Clan to carry out such a genocidal act again." Xun'er nodded silently, quite certain about the alliance.

As for the Ancient Dragon Clan, Xun'er was not worried.

No matter how quietly the Ancient Dragon Clan develops to its current scale, with her and Chen Xiao around, they will not confront the Ancient Clan head-on.

Therefore, Xun'er was also happy to see the ancient dragon clan grow stronger.

At the very least, this is a trump card that even the Soul Clan cannot ignore!
Just as the two were talking, two whooshing sounds suddenly came from the distant horizon.

Immediately, two black figures slowly landed on a boulder a thousand feet away, looking at Chen Xiao and Xun'er from afar.

When the two saw Chen Xiao and Xun'er's faces clearly, Hun Ya and Hun Li's expressions changed drastically. Almost at the same time, they pushed their speed to the limit and flew away into the depths to the side.

"Brother Chen Xiao, it's those two from the Soul Clan."

Xun'er stood up, exchanged a glance with Chen Xiao, and then dashed off in the direction the two had fled.

These ancient races' geniuses, more or less, each had their own trump cards.

Therefore, even without Xiao Yan's help, they still managed to break through the materialized crystal wall formed by the ancient devouring insects, only arriving at the third level a little later than in the original trajectory.

In the third level, because Chen Xiao hunted down too many high-level energy beings for Xun'er, the geniuses of this ancient race also benefited from it. After entering the third level, they rarely encountered threatening energy beings and enjoyed a long period of peace.

Chen Xiao and Xun'er were the first to enter the third level of the Heavenly Tomb. By the time Soul Cliff and the others arrived, the two had already reached the depths of the third level.

In the area where they are now, energy beings at the semi-saint level are no longer rare, and occasionally even those at the battle saint level appear. If they rashly enter without some strength, they will definitely die.

That's why Chen Xiao and Xun'er only encountered Hun Ya and Hun Li today.

These two were the only two people from an ancient race they encountered after entering the Heavenly Tomb!

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

the other side.

Hunya and Hunli were pale-faced, having already pushed their speed to the limit.

At the same time, Hunya rapidly formed hand seals, and strange fluctuations spread in all directions.

"Damn it, how did Chen Xiao get into the Heavenly Tomb!"

As he cast a series of hand seals, Hun Li frequently turned his head, his panic in his eyes impossible to conceal.

"They must have used underhanded methods, but it's definitely not their true form, so their strength is limited. As long as our clan's elders arrive sooner, we can turn the tide and even surround and kill them!"

Soul Cliff was also constantly sensing what was behind him and, finding no sign of Chen Xiao chasing after him, silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Before entering the Heavenly Tomb, he and Hun Li had learned about the situation inside and even prepared a secret technique to contact the powerful members of the Soul Clan who had fallen in the Heavenly Tomb.

Among them are many true Dou Sheng powerhouses!
This is also what gives them the confidence to venture deep into this area.

Once they can contact those powerful members of the Soul Clan and obtain their protection, the two of them will be able to use their strength to engage in a cat-and-mouse game with the other members of the various clans who have entered, and hunt them all down.

In this way, all ethnic groups will suffer heavy losses.

Especially for the ancient clans, if Xun'er, with her divine bloodline, were to perish in the Heavenly Tomb, it would be an absolute fatal blow!
Unfortunately, the idea was great, but the reality was harsh.

They had planned everything, but none of them expected Chen Xiao to appear in the Heavenly Tomb.

"Chi~"

Just as the two were in a hurry, the mist in front of them twisted and turned, and then two old men dressed in gray clothes with gloomy faces slowly appeared in front of them like ghosts.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Upon hearing that distinctive laugh, Hunya and Hunli were overjoyed. They abruptly stopped in their flight, looked up, and quickly bowed in greeting.

"Soul Cliff (Soul Li) greets Seniors Soul Diao and Soul Bi! The situation is urgent, and we implore you two seniors to take action and eliminate this great enemy for our Soul Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Hun Diao sneered: "Whenever the Heavenly Tomb opens, only juniors ever enter. No matter how talented they are, they can't possibly surpass the Dou Zun realm. Without reaching the Dou Sheng realm, they're nothing more than slightly larger ants. How can they be considered formidable enemies?"

Another elder named Hun Bi nodded, "With the two of us here, you can rest assured. No matter which clan he is a genius from, if he poses any threat to the Soul Clan, we will kill him!"

Seeing the two so confident, Hunya and Hunli finally felt relieved.

They were unsure of the strength of the two people in front of them, but judging from their tone, they were undoubtedly Dou Sheng level experts.

Although Chen Xiao was also a Dou Sheng, he ultimately did not enter the Heavenly Tomb in his true form.

With two against one, the advantage is in my hands!
Hunya smiled with relief and was about to explain the situation in detail.

However, at that very moment, two figures slowly appeared in the sky. Who else could they be but Chen Xiao and Xun'er?

"Senior Hun Diao, it's these two!"

“That man is named Chen Xiao. He is not from any of the eight clans, but he has advanced to the level of Dou Sheng and has always been an enemy of my Soul Clan. The other one is the daughter of Gu Yuan of the Ancient Clan, and she has a divine bloodline! Therefore, we must eliminate them this time, otherwise they might really ruin our clan’s grand plan!” Hun Ya said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Hun Diao's eyes, then he nodded and said, "In that case, it is indeed time to get rid of him."

As soon as they finished speaking, Hun Diao and Hun Bi exchanged a glance and sneered. At the same time, they stepped into the void and appeared directly in front of Chen Xiao and Xun'er. With their hands slightly bent, they slammed into their chests.

If this punch lands, even a half-saint level expert would likely suffer severe injuries!
"laugh!"

However, just as their fists were only half a foot away from Chen Xiao and Xun'er, they suddenly froze, as if they were trapped in mid-air and could not move forward even an inch!

"A...a four-star Dou Sheng?!"

Their fists froze. Sensing the faint aura emanating from Chen Xiao, Hun Diao and his companion's expressions changed drastically. Their killing intent vanished instantly, replaced by expressions of utter terror and horror.

"Good eye! Here's a reward of the Great Creation Palm!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his palm and slapped it down hard on Hun Diao and the other two.

"broken!"

As Chen Xiao uttered a single word, Hun Ya and Hun Li were shocked to see the space within a thousand feet radius collapse completely, forming a massive black hole that then raged toward Hun Diao and Hun Li!

"Bang bang bang!"

A bizarre black hole, a thousand feet in size, raged wildly, tearing apart the defenses of Hun Diao and his companion almost instantly and quickly engulfing them.

Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled violently as if by an earthquake, and a huge crack spread from the ground, eventually extending into the distance.
quiet!
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Several breaths passed, and as the energy storm dissipated and the earth returned to calm, there was no trace of Hun Diao and his companion.

pat!pat!
Two soft sounds rang out, and Soul Cliff and Soul Fierce looked in the direction of the sound.

Two fist-sized energy cores slowly fell from the sky...
