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

"Now my Soul Clan only has Dou Sheng powerhouses left. The Soul Realm has been refined into my own space. I have nothing to lose, so it's time to force Gu Yuan and the others to open the Dou Di Tomb."

"Only the primordial imperial energy within the nascent imperial-grade pill in the tomb can allow me to break through to the Dou Di level."

"Even if he is only a half-emperor, it is enough for me to turn the tide."

His power swelled, especially after he overpowered Zhu Kun, and Soul Emperor became extremely arrogant, referring to himself as "this Emperor".

He firmly believed that he could become a Dou Di (Battle Emperor).

"This item must be hidden well."

The Soul Emperor took out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, his gaze lingering.

Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid, and he understood the principle that caution prevents major mistakes.

The Soul Clan was able to grow from a minor imperial clan to its current state, outliving and secretly annihilating many imperial clans, because it was proficient in the art of survival.

The location of the tomb of Emperor Tuoshe can only be found by collecting all eight pieces of the ancient jade of Emperor Tuoshe, and the entrance can only be opened by the complete ancient jade.

As long as he keeps the ancient jade in his hand well, Gu Yuan and the others will have no choice but to cooperate if they want to become Dou Di or Emperor-grade embryonic pills.

Just in the worst-case scenario, if he were to be plotted against and perish, it would prevent Gu Yuan and the others from ever becoming emperors again, ultimately leading them to their doom along with this world.

Thinking of an excellent place to hide the ancient jade, the Soul Emperor tore open space and stepped inside. He returned after a short while, his aura as deep as an abyss, and said in a low voice, "Come with me to confront Gu Yuan and the others."

The fighting saints immediately perked up, their eyes filled with a mad ruthlessness.

"Stab!"

A huge crack appeared on the most central peak of Zhongzhou, the Ten Thousand Zhang Emperor's Step Peak.

This place was once the meeting point set up by the eight imperial clans. Usually, a low-level Dou Sheng would be stationed here to prevent anyone from getting close, in order to emphasize the status of the imperial clans.

However, this place is now the main headquarters of the Nine Abyss Prefecture, and it has been reorganized by Zhang Yuan and Qing Yanjing using weapon refining and array formation methods.

The clan leaders of the imperial families, including Gu Yuan, were all here at this time, and they contacted Zhang Yuan through the Nine Abyss Token.

The changes in the external space were immediately felt by everyone.

"Emperor Soul!"

As they teleported to the outside world, Zhu Kun Gu Yuan and the others saw the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan Battle Saint beside him, and their expressions immediately changed.

They seem to be coming on strong; could it be that they're going to fight to the death?

"Soul Emperor, are you prepared for a fight to the death?"

It is the Ninth Rank Supreme

"Gu Yuan, I have come to negotiate with you."

With his hands behind his back, the Soul Emperor's aura was as unfathomable as a black hole, devouring everything and inspiring fear.

However, Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan were not bad either, and Yan Jin and the others had all improved their strength to some extent, so they were not afraid of him.

"Negotiation?" Zhu Kun sneered, his blood surging. "What qualifications do you, a mere Soul Clan member, have to negotiate with us?"

"Really not?" The Soul Emperor's expression remained unchanged, his voice indifferent and ruthless: "If my Soul Clan abandons the Soul Realm and its people, and I lead the Dou Sheng to wreak havoc all over the Dou Qi Continent, I wonder if you can bear this loss and bear this karma."

"Our Soul Clan has nothing to lose, so you keep tightening your blockade instead of launching a full-scale attack. Isn't that because you want to protect the energy of the Dou Qi Continent?"

"Especially me, whose strength is now the greatest on the continent. If I were to abandon the Soul Clan and focus on causing trouble for you, I wonder if you could withstand it?"

These words caused Zhu Kun and the others' expressions to change repeatedly.

Their worst fears came true.

It's fine if the Soul Clan has reservations, but once they abandon those reservations and go completely mad, they'll really be hesitant to act rashly.

Without absolute power to annihilate the Soul Clan, it would be a disaster for both the Dou Qi Continent and these imperial clans.

When the Soul Clan went to destroy the Xiao Clan, to be honest, they were happy to see it happen and even hoped that both sides would suffer heavy losses.

The result far exceeded their expectations. The Xiao Clan was almost wiped out, and the Soul Clan was indeed severely weakened, giving them a chance to develop. However, the Soul Clan's strength was still comparable to that of the Ancient Clan, which made them very wary.

"Soul Emperor, you don't need to scare us." Gu Yuan's voice rang out between heaven and earth, equally cold: "I don't believe you're willing to give up becoming an emperor, and I don't believe you're not afraid of death at your current level of strength."

"The spatial storms outside the Dou Qi Continent are indeed dangerous, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to sense the existence of the small otherworld. But if you really have no other way out, you will definitely not choose to waste your time in the Dou Qi Continent. Even if you go to the outer space, you will want to break through to the Dou Di level."

"You're just trying to scare us with your harsh words, but once we unite to destroy you, this matter will never end. Your Soul Clan possesses the Void Devouring Flame, which has already obtained the abilities of the Devouring Spirit Clan!"

Zhang Yuan's enticement was one aspect, but the real reason why the various races joined forces without hesitation was that the Void Devouring Flame had the ability to devour the Spirit Clan.

They shared the same determination to destroy the Devouring Spirit Clan, as the great imperial clans of ancient times faced calamities and joined forces to do so, because it concerned the continuation of their imperial lineage.

The cultivation environment on the Dou Qi Continent is getting worse and worse, but the Soul Clan is developing better and better. They didn't understand it at first, but after learning that the Void Devouring Flame had the strength of the Spirit Devouring Clan, they had their answer.

This is a deadly battle to the death, a fight to the very core!

"You can rest assured about this matter."

The Soul Emperor narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and released a jet-black flame covered with runes.

Negotiations cannot be conducted with an overly tough stance; it is necessary to show weakness and offer conditions that the other party finds advantageous at appropriate times.

"The Void Devouring Flame has been refined by me, and its consciousness has been erased."

“I have erased the abilities of the Devouring Spirit Clan. You can test this with your Strange Flame.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan and the others were greatly shocked, and their eyes were filled with horror.

This Soul Emperor is truly ruthless. He actually devoured and refined a nine-star Dou Sheng, the greatest contributor to the survival of the Soul Clan to this day, and even erased his consciousness in order to gain his trust.

Before witnessing the power of the Supreme Dharma Body, and before Zhang Yuan obtained the Supreme Spiritual Liquid for cultivation, they might have genuinely chosen to let the Soul Clan go.

But now, the Soul Clan is their stepping stone to advancement. It's not that the Soul Clan wants to devour them; rather, they want to use the Soul Clan to exchange for the Supreme Spirit Liquid.

"You're really ruthless," Gu Yuan said coldly. "The Void Devouring Flame devoured him without a second thought, leaving him no consciousness at all. You truly live up to your reputation."

He finally understood why Soul Emperor could reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, even surpassing Zhu Kun.

The Void Devouring Flame possessed an Emperor Realm soul and was at the early stage of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng. He refined it, greatly nourishing it!

The Soul Emperor's expression remained unchanged as he withdrew his hand and said, "So, can we negotiate now?"

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

He wasn't trying to compromise, but he wanted to know what the Soul Emperor wanted.

"Gather all the ancient jade of the Tuoshe Emperor and open the Ancient Emperor's Palace!"

The Soul Emperor's gaze lingered on Zhu Kun, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Dragon Emperor disappeared for thousands of years because he was trapped in the space where the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe's cave is located."

"Although I don't know how you escaped, you must know the location of the cave. So as long as you gather the Emperor Jade, you can open the cave."

"There is an opportunity to become an emperor inside. I do not believe that you will not be tempted."

Everyone: "."

It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted; who wouldn't want to become a Dou Di?

But they were only slightly tempted, after all, they now had a better option: Earth Supreme!

According to Zhang Yuan, the Dou Qi Continent is a lower plane that is heading towards the end of cultivation and does not even have its own special energy. Cultivation there is much more difficult than in the Great Thousand World.

Their ability to reach the level of a supreme warrior in such an environment demonstrates their exceptional talent; they all possess the potential to become supreme beings.

If one were to switch cultivation now, and then undergo the Three Tribulations of the Supreme Being again in a place where the laws of the Great Thousand Worlds are higher and more perfect, it would almost certainly be the foundation for becoming a Supreme Being.

As long as they follow Zhang Yuan, they will at least become Earthly Sovereigns when they go to the Great Thousand World, which is stronger than Dou Di.

The cave dwelling of Tuoshegudi was nothing special.

"The ancient Emperor Tuoshe's cave." Gu Yuan's face showed emotion: "It has the opportunity to become an emperor, and we really want to enter it."

Yan Jin and the others: ?

Yan Jin and the others: !

Got it, this old coward is putting on an act.

"Then are you willing to accept my proposal?" the Soul Emperor asked.

“Yes, but you need to swear an oath,” Gu Yuan said. “You must swear a soul oath that after you open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave, if you eventually become a Dou Di, you must never attack our imperial clans, and you must leave the Dou Qi Continent within a hundred years!”

The Soul Emperor's eyes were cold: "If you become Battle Emperors, will you spare my Soul Clan?"

“No!” Gu Yuan replied, “But we don’t intend to let the Soul Clan go either. We have the upper hand, so you have to suffer a loss, don’t you?”

"Heh, Gu Yuan, I've already hidden the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in a place you'll never find," the Soul Emperor said coldly. "If you don't cooperate, you might never be able to open the Dou Di Tomb in this lifetime!"

"Then let's not open it. It's not that important." A soft laugh echoed through the world.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the space begin to distort, and then several figures slowly appeared in front of them.

When they saw the leader's face clearly, their eyes lit up: "It's Lord Lord!"

"The Lord of the Manor is back! That's wonderful!"

"Because the Supreme Elixir has been secured?"

"Get out of here, the Soul Clan is destined to be destroyed."

"I wonder what level of Supreme Being Lord is now?"

"."

The people present were all Imperial Clan Battle Saints, and they were also the only ones who knew about the Great Thousand World.

Because the Soul Clan still exists, this information is temporarily kept secret among the high-ranking members of the Imperial Clan and has not been leaked out.

The Soul Emperor had already vaguely guessed that something was wrong with Gu Yuan and the others, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. This was one of the reasons why he forcibly refined the Void Devouring Flame.

"You are Zhang Yuan, the Lord of Jiuyuan Prefecture."

The Soul Emperor's eyes flashed with killing intent.

The Soul Clan's current state, the destruction of the Soul Palace, and the ruin of the Soul Clan's millennium-long plan are all because of this young man with the bloodline of the Xiao Clan.

Who would have thought that a descendant of the Xiao clan who doesn't even have the surname Xiao could achieve such a feat?

“Soul Emperor, you certainly know how to pick a place. The scenery at Emperor's Peak is quite nice; your demise here is somewhat comforting,” Zhang Yuan said.

"Fallen?" The Soul Emperor sneered, "Whether you are Zhu Kun Gu Yuan or not, you cannot stop this Emperor."
