Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

His body rose rapidly into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he was thousands of feet above the ground.

Those fierce gales that were enough to shatter the souls of ordinary Battle Saints seemed to actively avoid him as if they had encountered their nemesis.

He lowered his head, looking down over the entire Heavenly Tomb, his calm voice resounding throughout the land, leaving all beings speechless.

"Xiao Xuan!" Gu Yuan, who was refining the Supreme Spirit Liquid, opened his eyes, a look of reminiscence flashing in them.

I never expected to see my old friend from a thousand years ago again today, and he is still as dazzling as ever.

Even in his fallen state, he remained the number one person of his generation within the Heavenly Tomb.

"Master Xiao Xuan!"

Throughout the Heavenly Tomb, the energy bodies that were constantly fighting and devouring each other, bound by the rules of the Heavenly Tomb, suddenly stiffened and woke up. In their eyes, which were almost entirely bloodshot and numb, a long-lost clarity appeared.

Looking up at that small but imposing figure, most of the people knelt down to pay their respects, some even sobbing and roaring.

Beside Zhang Yuan, the Blood Blade Saint felt a certain shackle on his body loosen slightly, and said with bloodshot eyes, "This feeling, this feeling..."

Even though he was a powerful Dou Sheng in front of him, he couldn't help but lose control.

Zhang Yuan watched this scene quietly, not surprised, because he knew that the Heavenly Tomb had undergone a change.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Yuan activated a projection above the Void Realm and said calmly, "Everyone, if Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, wants to teach the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb a lesson, you can witness his demeanor."

In a separate realm within the Taixu Realm lived members of the Xiao family. They were already aware of the Xiao family's glorious past and its thousand-year history. Upon hearing Zhang Yuan's words, a sense of anticipation and longing arose in their hearts.

Inside the Bodhi Ancient Tree Realm, Xiao Yan, who had already overcome the three tribulations of the Divine Soul through a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation and was accumulating power in preparation for breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm with the help of the Bodhi Heart, also raised his head, his eyes filled with longing.

"Xiao Xuan!" Fire Spirit Fairy was originally cultivating a relationship with Qing Yanjing and the other girls, preparing to take the route of becoming their wife, but when she heard Zhang Yuan's words, her expression suddenly changed.

"He's still alive."

The Yan Clan and the Xiao Clan were at odds, and Xiao Xuan's existence allowed the Xiao Clan to consistently maintain a superior position over the Yan Clan.

Fire Spirit Fairy never expected to see that guy again today, the one whose contemporaries couldn't even muster the desire to pursue him.

"Senior Xiao Xuan of the Xiao family?" Xun'er's eyes also changed.

In terms of seniority, as Gu Yuan's daughter, she is higher than the grandfathers of many geniuses in various imperial clans. For example, he could call Xiao Xuan "uncle," but the Xiao family calls Xiao Xuan "ancestor," which is many generations higher.

Even after a thousand years, the major imperial clans still remember this resounding name.

Unrivaled among his contemporaries, his feat of challenging for the title of Dou Di, and his record against the Soul Clan after being severely injured.

Xiao Xuan was also a legend.

"Boom!"

As many thoughts flashed through their minds, a thunderous roar, shaking the heavens and earth, resounded from the deeper void of the Heavenly Tomb, as if the heavens were enraged.

Each time the thunder sounded, the bodies of many energy entities within the Heavenly Tomb trembled violently.

Zhang Yuan raised his wine glass and gazed into the distance at the horizon.

His current soul realm is infinitely close to the Emperor Realm, so he can clearly feel the vast and profound soul fluctuations deep within, which can be described as extremely terrifying, yet also gives him a complex and mottled feeling.

In terms of soul realm alone, that being could completely suppress him in the Heavenly Tomb, but if he used the Supreme Dharma Body, he could completely ignore that huge pressure that seemed to be pieced together from various sources, but he still couldn't do anything to the other party.

"This guy has devoured too many remnants of souls; he can be said to be a combination of all energy entities."

"Whenever an energy entity is completely defeated, a remnant of its soul is completely merged and devoured by him."

"He controlled the remnants of other energy entities, so they couldn't resist him. Otherwise, even if they had gained attention, they wouldn't have been able to withstand the siege of other energy entities."

"This celestial tomb seems to be a place used by a Dou Di powerhouse to train his subordinates and give them a chance to be resurrected. It's quite interesting."

Zhang Yuan's interest in this celestial tomb grew even stronger.

At this moment, the invisible soul deep in the void gathered a bunch of complex energy, which transformed into a huge face about ten thousand feet long, with an extremely gloomy expression.

"Xiao Xuan, we've always kept to ourselves, why are you making a move today?"

"Do you intend to break the unspoken agreement between us and challenge my position?"

The giant face's eyes shone with an extremely cold light as it stared at Xiao Xuan, who was suspended in the sky.

The icy voice, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the land.

"status?"

Xiao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the giant face, and said with a faint smile, "I have seen through your true nature."

"Your very existence was a mistake. Even the Dou Di powerhouse who built the Heavenly Tomb back then probably didn't expect such a bizarre creature as you to be born."

Upon hearing this, the giant face's expression underwent a subtle change.

But it's too big now, so anyone who's paying attention has noticed this detail.

Some powerful energy beings had a strange look in their eyes.

Gu Yuan and Huo Ling, along with several other veteran Dou Sheng powerhouses, were also astonished: "There's actually some kind of secret behind the birth of your Heavenly Tomb Spirit?"

"Nonsense!" the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb roared. "I was born according to my master's will and am the destined ruler and guardian of this space."

"You are only able to survive because of my protection, and you can continue to live in another way, so you should naturally follow my rules of conduct here!"

Roaring like thunder, its giant face rolled, its rage soaring to the heavens, even ordinary Battle Saints would tremble at the sight of it.

However, many people heard a hint of anger and embarrassment in the giant face's words.

“We survive because of the Heavenly Tomb, not because of you,” Xiao Xuan denied. “You are part of the Heavenly Tomb, but the Heavenly Tomb is not you.”

"Insolence!" The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb's voice turned shrill: "I am the Heavenly Tomb, and the Heavenly Tomb is me!"

"No, you are no different from us in essence." Xiao Xuan smiled calmly and spoke in an extremely calm tone, words that seemed to pierce the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb: "You are not the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb, and your birth was not because of the Heavenly Tomb, but because of the condensation of all the remnant souls."

"We surrendered our remnant soul imprints, allowing us to transform into energy bodies and eke out a living here. You, on the other hand, are a new consciousness formed by the convergence of many remnant soul imprints, and you are also devouring remnant souls to grow stronger."

"In a way, it is all of us, the beings of the Heavenly Tomb, who created you."

“And you used this special privilege to steal a portion of the Heavenly Tomb’s authority.”

"Now, you are turning the tables on the Heavenly Gang, actually saying that we exist because of you."

"A son wants to be a father? How ridiculous!"

puff!

Xiao Yan laughed out loud: "I didn't expect the Ancestor to be so humorous."

"Xiao Xuan really hasn't changed at all. He still likes to speak the truth without thinking. Back then, he could always make his brother so angry that his three corpses would jump around in a frenzy with just a few words." Huo Ling found it amusing and let out a silvery laugh, as if recalling Yan Jin's frustrated appearance.

"Brother Xiao Xuan hasn't changed at all," Gu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Back then, Xiao Xuan was able to break the Soul Emperor's cultivation with just a few words.

But the Soul Emperor was still no match for Xiao Xuan, and could only curse in frustration behind his back.

"Xiao Xuan, if you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish!"

When the truth was exposed, the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb directly broke off all pretense of civility.

Although it will take some effort, as long as Xiao Xuan, the most difficult one, is suppressed, he can now use his strength to suppress all those who are disobedient, not to mention he also has some authority over the Heavenly Tomb.

"boom!"

A massive storm suddenly erupted from the giant maw of the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

The storm was formed from pure soul power. It spun wildly, like a sharp cone, and shot fiercely toward Xiao Xuan.

Facing the attack of the Heavenly Tomb Spirit, Xiao Xuan went straight to meet it, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

“This is…” Zhang Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly.

In the sky, the giant face revealed a look of panic and roared, "Xiao Xuan, you actually ignited your soul! Are you planning to disappear from this world completely?"

"Why not?" Xiao Xuan waved his hand and unleashed a palm strike that transformed into a hundreds-of-foot-long gale. He said calmly, "To perish together with you and free this Heavenly Tomb is better than lingering here in misery."

"If you want to die, don't take me with you!" The spirit of the Heavenly Tomb roared angrily, and the entire Heavenly Tomb trembled.

Countless energy entities knelt down, roaring in righteous indignation at Xiao Xuan's noble act.

The spirit of the Heavenly Tomb and Xiao Xuan exchanged blows, and were occasionally burned by the eerie flames, their huge faces constantly shrinking in fear as the eerie flames burned.

He could feel his soul power waning, which filled him with unease.

After a fierce battle, the giant face transformed into a human figure, its eyes filled with a scarlet and furious emotion.

Xiao Xuan ignored them, clasped his hands together, and began to form a series of complex and intricate hand seals.

The strange flames around him began to change continuously, eventually transforming into a special formation that enveloped this area.

As the grand formation neared completion, Xiao Xuan's aura grew weaker and weaker, and the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb became increasingly uncertain. With a ferocious expression, it said, "Xiao Xuan, let me go, and we can discuss anything you want."

"I want your soul essence. Are you willing to hand it over yourself?" Xiao Xuan said calmly, "It's safer for you to take it yourself. I want you to fulfill my descendants' wishes."

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb looked at Zhang Yuan, its killing intent growing stronger.

It's all because of this guy, but he doesn't dare do anything.

"I can hand over the Heavenly Tomb to you, and you can release me," said the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but quickly shook his head and said, "I am about to perish. Perhaps you will have a way to take back the power then."

The spirit of the Heavenly Tomb grasped at empty air. Did this bastard really have to perish together with him?

“Unless,” Xiao Xuan pondered, “you hand over power to my descendant.”

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb was overjoyed and said, "Alright, I can hand over the authority to him."

Xiao Xuan turned to look at Zhang Yuan, who then said to the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb, "Please enlighten me, senior."

“You will manifest your soul,” said the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb.

"Well, I'm afraid you might kill me if you disagree with me, so why don't you come to my territory?" Zhang Yuan said hesitantly.

"I'll do it then," the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb said without objection.

He possessed a soul at the Emperor Realm level, while Zhang Yuan had not reached the Emperor Realm, making them worlds apart.

He still possesses the authority of the Heavenly Tomb, and even after entering Zhang Yuan's soul, he can still draw upon some of its energy.

Once inside Zhang Yuan's soul world, it would be even easier for him to leave behind a backup plan.

Thinking of this, the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb transformed into a stream of light and flew to Zhang Yuan's front, disappearing into his brow under Xiao Xuan's gaze.

Upon seeing this, the flames on Xiao Xuan's body suddenly disappeared, and his aura gradually returned to calm.
