Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 247 You're not worthy of making me make this special trip.

What kind of figure was that?
Sword Master stared at the figure in front of him, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily, but he found himself unable to find any words to describe the strange existence before him.

He couldn't sense any aura from the other party, and he wasn't even sure if the other party actually existed.

The Sword Master couldn't fathom it.

However, although he could not detect any aura from that strange and unpredictable figure, he was certain of his own feelings!
The moment his gaze fell upon that figure, his limbs and bones suddenly trembled uncontrollably! This was an instinctive tremor originating from the depths of his soul!
It was as if I had witnessed some kind of overwhelming, indescribable, and unfathomable fear that transcended all things!
Sword Master even had an absurd yet incredibly real thought: merely setting his gaze on the other person was an unforgivable mistake!

Boundless fear overwhelmed the Sword Master's mind like a tidal wave. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, causing excruciating pain, but it did nothing to alleviate the bone-chilling cold.

"Who...who is this person?!"

"Ok?"

Just then, the strange figure seemed to sense something, tilted its head slightly, and glanced over, its eyes meeting the Sword Venerable's gaze.

With just that one glance, the Sword Master was struck dumb, his body instantly stiffened, and even his breathing stopped!
Fortunately, the suffocating pressure did not last long. The gaze quickly moved away from him, as if it were just sweeping over an insignificant speck of dust.

Sword Master breathed a sigh of relief. That's right. Although he didn't know the other party's identity, how could such a person care about an ant like him?

He carefully recalled what had just happened, and in those eyes he saw a hint of surprise. The other person seemed to be wondering why someone as weak as him could sense his presence.

"Forget it, none of this concerns me. I'll just stay in the Ancient Holy City."

Just as the Sword Master was about to give up his investigation, a chill suddenly ran down his spine, and he looked down sharply at his own body!

Sword Venerable suddenly saw that his body was becoming transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye. His skin, bones, flesh and blood... even the fighting spirit flowing in his body were quietly turning into nothingness!
It was as if it were being dismantled and dissolved bit by bit by an invisible and terrifying force!
“Why is this happening?

No! I haven't seen the ending yet, I can't die!!!

Panic gripped the Sword Master once more. He wanted to scream and struggle, but found that he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth. He could only scream wildly in his heart!
And this desire to survive became his final wish!

"Boom."

A soft sound, no splattering of flesh and blood, no billowing blood mist.

The Sword Venerable's body disintegrated instantly into countless tiny, invisible particles, just as ice and snow melted away, silently disappearing into the world of Dou Qi Continent.

It's as if they never existed.

"interesting."

The eerie figure glanced a second time at the spot where the Sword Venerable had stood, but this time, the Sword Venerable himself could no longer see it.

"Breaking down and then building up, like a tender sprout emerging from the sword, the swordsman's unique sharpness and clarity briefly resonates with heaven and earth..."

It actually overcame countless barriers, barely managing to detect my existence in a fraction of a second… Even if there was an element of luck involved, this level of swordsmanship is indeed quite impressive.”

As soon as the words fell, the figure slowly took a step, the figure appearing both real and ethereal, and slowly merged into the spatial gate that was floating in the void, disappearing in an instant.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial gate, in the ancient realm.

The top experts of the seven ancient races all had sharp eyes, locking onto the silver-white spatial portal floating in the void. Except for the Soul Race, their gazes were surprisingly consistent, containing solemnity and vigilance!
With countless gazes converging, that area has become the sole focal point of the world.

"coming."

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. If there was one person in the world he least wanted to see, the one about to appear in front of him was definitely number one!
"Tap, tap, tap."

Light footsteps echoed from the silver-white doorway, unhurried yet striking heavily into everyone's hearts.

Immediately afterwards, a voice slowly rang out, carrying a hint of a long-awaited reunion: "Ancient Realm, it's been a long time since I've been here."

A figure dressed in a scholar's robe slowly walked out of the doorway and instantly came into everyone's view.

The figure was tall and slender with a handsome face. His moon-white scholar's robe swayed gently in the wind. If he were holding an ancient book in his hands, he would look exactly like a gentle and refined scholar.

Yet this refined figure possessed a pair of completely different eyes!

Those were exceptionally bright eyes, with a sea of ​​crimson blood churning deep within their pupils!
Hun Xuzi smiled wickedly: "Welcome, Clan Chief!" He knelt on one knee, his face full of piety and fanaticism.

Behind him, the other Soul Clan Saints did the same, raising their arms and shouting enthusiastically, "Welcome, Clan Chief!"

Soul Emperor!
These three words resounded like thunder in everyone's hearts. Even though they had expected it, the powerful figures from all races still couldn't help but tremble.

He's really here!
Yao Dan looked somewhat nervous and said, "Soul Emperor, why aren't you staying in the Soul Realm? What are you doing in the Ancient Realm?"

The Soul Emperor remained silent, his expression indifferent, his gaze unwavering.

Hun Xuzi stood up, turned to look at Yao Dan, and said indifferently, "Those petty people should not presume to speak with the clan leader."

"you!"

Yao Dan's face turned pale and then purple in an instant, his chest churning with anger, yet he dared not lash out.

He could speak freely in front of Gu Yuan, but the Soul Emperor was different. If he displeased the other party, he would really be killed!

"Soul Emperor, when did the wounds Xiao Xuan inflicted on you heal?"

Lei Ying stepped forward, his deep voice breaking the silence, his gaze fixed on the Soul Emperor.

In an instant, a deathly silence fell, and all eyes were focused on the Soul Emperor, awaiting his answer.

"Humph."

After a moment, there was still no reply. Lei Ying snorted coldly, a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Gu Yuan stared coldly at the Soul Emperor and said, "Soul Emperor, you didn't greet me before coming here this time."

"The Ancient Realm will eventually become my Soul Clan's territory. I'm just returning to my own home, why should I greet you?"

The Soul Emperor smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's expression turned cold.

“Gu Yuan, there’s no need for this attitude. No one cares about this little corner of the Ancient Realm except you.”

The Soul Emperor's gaze fell on Gu Yuan, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

"After a thousand years, you are still the same: hypocritical, cowardly, pedantic, cunning... making people feel annoyed, disgusted, and lose their appetite."

Even glancing at you is an eyesore.

It's exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago, Gu Yuan. You haven't improved at all. You've never disappointed me when it comes to being disappointing.

However, I still want to see you. Don't misunderstand, I don't think highly of you. Being on par with you makes me feel extremely disgusted.

Of the five of us from back then, only you and I remain. Seeing your repulsive state makes me realize all the more how precious my greatness and strength are!

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura surrounding the Soul Emperor subtly changed. His moon-white scholar's robe seemed to be imbued with an invisible force, turning a faint crimson hue.

"If your purpose in coming here is merely to indulge in verbal sparring and humiliate me, then you may leave now."

Gu Yuan said coldly.

"Don't flatter yourself, you're not worthy of my making this special trip."

Gu Yuan, the most valuable quality in a person is self-awareness, and you lack that.

Gu Yuan's face was full of anger.

The Soul Emperor paid no heed to Gu Yuan's anger. His gaze slowly shifted away from Gu Yuan, passing through the barriers of mountains and barriers, and landed directly on the area shrouded in thick fog at the deepest part of the ancient realm.

That is where the Heavenly Tomb is located!
The moment his gaze fell upon them, the mockery and coldness in the Soul Emperor's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a dreamy, almost obsessive look.

"He is my true target!"
