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

Chapter 259 The Heavenly Tomb Shatters!
"How is this going?"

Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. His body swayed slightly due to the violent tremors of the earth, and he almost lost his footing. The silent air in the Heavenly Tomb was stirred up into chaos, and an unprecedented sense of crisis descended from above!

A major change has occurred at the Heavenly Tomb!

Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Xuan.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's expression was also solemn. His Emperor-level soul power surged out of his body like a tide, transforming into an invisible torrent that broke through the spatial barrier of the Heavenly Tomb and spread outwards.

"This is……"

When his soul power touched the scene of the ancient world, Xiao Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, as if he had seen a scene that was enough to overturn his understanding.

"Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan, those two actually joined forces!"

"what!"

Xiao Yan was struck as if by lightning, his whole body trembled, and his face was filled with horror.

Two peak nine-star Dou Sheng have come together, and their purpose... only the Ancestor is worthy of these two irreconcilable enemies joining forces!
At this moment, within the ancient realm.

The Soul Emperor stood high in the sky, his expression calm.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a supreme power capable of tearing the heavens and earth gathered in his palm. Enveloped in dark mist, it formed a huge energy palm in mid-air and slammed down on the Heavenly Tomb!

"Roar--!!!"

Just as the energy palm was about to touch the Heavenly Tomb, a soul roar originating from ancient times suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth, the roar carrying endless vicissitudes and violence.

As the roar resounded, a pale blue halo of soul light appeared on the surface of the Heavenly Tomb, and a hideous monster formed from countless remnant souls slowly rose from the halo.

The monster was thousands of feet tall, its body made up of countless fragments of souls, as if it carried the endless resentment of ancient beings.

It had no specific facial features, only a pair of giant eyes radiating a scarlet light, staring intently at the Soul Emperor, its eyes filled with warning and intimidation.

The Soul Emperor raised an eyebrow and said, "Is this what the soul of the Heavenly Tomb looks like? It's hideous and doesn't even have a decent form."

Gu Yuan said, "All things in the world have spirits. Even if a pill reaches the eighth grade, it can transform into a pill beast. A ninth-grade pill can even transform into human form."

This Heavenly Tomb is a treasure created by an ancient Dou Di (Battle Emperor). After 100,000 years of sedimentation, it has developed its own sentience.

Now that we are going to take action against Xiao Jibai and the others inside the Heavenly Tomb, we cannot bypass it.

This does not mean that the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb is on Su Yun's side, but rather that destroying the Heavenly Tomb is destroying the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb's own body, which the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb will never allow.

"In the end, he's nothing more than a soul at the Emperor Realm."

The Soul Emperor scoffed: "Perhaps within the Heavenly Tomb, it can take advantage of its home field and fight against Xiao Xuan's remnant soul."

But against us, it's nothing more than throwing an egg against a rock, a suicidal act.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul Emperor's palm surged with blood energy, and the dense scarlet blood energy condensed in his hand, transforming into a blood-red longsword that was ten thousand feet long!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!"

Countless vengeful spirits entwined and roared on the blade, emanating a terrifying killing intent that made one's heart tremble. Even the surrounding space was slicing and hissing from the blade's energy.

"Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, I am giving you one last chance."

The Soul Emperor, holding a blood-red blade, said with an icy expression, "Open the Heavenly Tomb and hand over Xiao Jibai, and I may spare your life; if you insist on resisting, today will be your death day!"

However, in response to the Soul Emperor's warning, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb only let out an even more ferocious roar.

"Roar—!" The Soul Emperor frowned and said, "His consciousness is chaotic, and he cannot even understand words. He probably takes my warning as a threat."

"Just a territorial beast... A creation of a Dou Di, so utterly pathetic, truly disappointing."

The Soul Emperor shook his head slightly, a hint of cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Then, he swung his arm down suddenly, and the blood-red longsword, carrying the power to destroy the world, unleashed a terrifying sea of ​​blood towards the soul of the Heavenly Tomb!
"Roar--!"

The soul of the Heavenly Tomb trembled, sensing a deadly threat. It roared and gathered all its soul power, transforming it into a pale blue energy shield!
However, as Blood Sea's blade fell, the shield shattered like fragile glass! The blade's intent was unstoppable, striking directly at the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb!

"Tsk-!"

A piercing tearing sound rang out!
The massive body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul shattered inch by inch under the blade's light, turning into countless tiny fragments of the soul, which were instantly burned away by the blade's energy, leaving not even a trace.

The power of the Blood Sea Blade had not diminished; its aftershocks, like a surging torrent, crashed heavily onto the Heavenly Tomb itself!

“Rumble——!!!”

The Heavenly Tomb trembled violently, and the tomb walls, which were made entirely of black stone, collapsed almost entirely in an instant, sending countless fragments of stone mixed with dust soaring into the sky!

Even more terrifying, tens of thousands of remnant souls inside the Heavenly Tomb were freed from the tomb's constraints and surged out of the cracks like a tide!

But as soon as it came into contact with the outside air, it turned into wisps of green smoke under the scorching power of the blood blade and completely dissipated into the world!

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan broke out in a cold sweat. If his ancestor hadn't deployed a soul barrier in time to protect him, he would have been torn apart by the terrifying aftershocks of the blade.

Feeling the suffocating pressure from outside the barrier, Xiao Yan was filled with shock.

This is the supreme power of a peak nine-star Dou Sheng! There's simply no way to resist it!

Xiao Xuan said solemnly, "The remnant souls in the Heavenly Tomb originally depended on the Heavenly Tomb for their existence, including myself in the past."

"The Soul Emperor's strike not only shattered the Heavenly Tomb, but also... apart from those you've absorbed into the Human Emperor's Banner, I'm afraid none of the souls residing within it survived!"

Xiao Yan was terrified and felt a chill run down his spine.

With just one strike, countless remnant souls in the Heavenly Tomb were annihilated, causing such boundless slaughter. Just how ruthless and cruel is the Soul Emperor?

A moment later, the aftershocks of the sword's power gradually dissipated, and the thin mist of energy in the air receded like the tide. Outside the broken gap in the Heavenly Tomb, a breathtaking scene came into Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan's eyes.

The ancient armies of saints from the seven races were densely packed together, their holy might gathering and shrouding the sky like dark clouds.

At the very front of the army stood two figures, one in gold and one in black—Gu Yuan and the Soul Emperor!

The two exuded the aura of peak nine-star Dou Sheng, as if even heaven and earth had to submit to them!

Xiao Xuan gritted his teeth: "Soul Emperor, Gu Yuan!"

"Xiao Xuan, you actually didn't have your soul scattered?"

The Soul Emperor looked surprised, then a faint smile appeared on his lips: "That's fine. It's been a thousand years since we last met. Let the three of us catch up first, and then I'll send you on your way. That way, we can fulfill our past friendship."

Gu Yuan, standing to the side, had a shifty look in his eyes, instinctively avoiding Xiao Xuan's gaze.

After a moment, Gu Yuan said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xuan, hand over Xiao Jibai, and I can decide to spare your lives!"

"dream!"

Xiao Xuan roared, his expression icy, and said, "Gu Yuan, you've come at the right time. There are some things I need to ask you personally!"
