While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 365 A Man Doesn't Easily Shed Tears

The void space is not far from Dragon Island.

A group of several hundred people gazed at the enormous island suspended in the turbulent void, and were all momentarily lost in thought.

Dragon Island, where the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan lives, has always been a synonym for mystery in many people's minds. Being able to see Dragon Island with your own eyes at this moment is undoubtedly a shock.

"I've heard that even Dou Sheng level experts dare not be careless in the void; the Ancient Void Dragon is truly terrifying!"

"I think I saw a Celestial Phoenix flying across the island!"

A group of people were whispering among themselves, giving off a vibe of country bumpkins coming to the city.

Who would have thought that each of these people, taken individually, would hold a remarkable position in Zhongzhou?

Zi Yan and Zhu Hong listened to their discussion but did not stop them; the corners of their lips both involuntarily turned up slightly.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has kept a low profile since the disappearance of its old Dragon Emperor.

It's not that they are inherently like this, but rather that they have no other choice.

Especially Zhu Hong, who had personally experienced the most powerful period of the Ancient Dragon Clan. At that time, the Ancient Dragon Clan held a transcendent status, no less than those ancient races.

Therefore, listening to the exclamations of these powerful figures from Central Plains, he felt an indescribable sense of enjoyment.

They're back! The glory of the ancient dragon clan has returned!

Just as everyone was marveling, a figure suddenly darted out from the main hall in the center of Dragon Island. The figure was as fast as lightning, and in just an instant, it had crossed tens of thousands of feet of void and stopped in front of everyone.

But when everyone saw the man's face clearly, their expressions all became strange, and their eyes kept shifting between the young man at the front of the group and the newcomer.

Simply because the newcomer's appearance was exactly the same as Chen Xiao's!

Zi Yan and Jiu Xuan, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, as if they were already used to this kind of scene.

Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, the two Chen Xiaos exchanged a glance and nodded slightly in greeting.

Immediately, Chen Xiao, who had just emerged from Dragon Island, grabbed Xiao Chen from the group and slipped past the crowd, heading towards Zhongzhou.

ancient world.

.

When Chen Xiao brought Xiao Chen to the Ancient Realm Mountains, the scene was one of utter chaos.

"Civil strife among the ancient clan?"

After slightly releasing his soul perception to sense the surroundings, Xiao Chen was completely astonished.

He never imagined that the ancient clans would fight amongst themselves!

It's not quite accurate to say they fought; to be more precise, it was a group of ancient clan elders chasing after an elder who had been captured from the clan's ancestral temple.

"The Soul Clan's scheme has drawn Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin to the Medicine Clan's side today. If the Soul Emperor doesn't seize such a good opportunity, he wouldn't be the Soul Emperor. The Lei Clan and Yan Clan are probably in similar situations now. The elder guarding the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade has long been replaced by the Soul Clan."

Chen Xiao glanced at the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range before looking away and casually explained.

This minor mishap was to be expected.

"Let's go. Perfect timing. The elders from the Heavenly Tomb have also been drawn here. Let me take you to see Xiao Xuan first."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to the situation in the Ancient Realm.

The two figures disappeared from the spot, and when they reappeared, they were already in a familiar deep mountain.

Chen Xiao glanced at the empty sky, said nothing more, and with a wave of his hand, the energy between heaven and earth roared and surged, faintly emitting the sound of rushing waves.

Immediately afterwards, the void space suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and a pitch-black crack was slowly and forcibly torn open, from which an unusually ancient and primal aura emanated.

The last time Chen Xiao came to this place, he felt quite moved when he sensed this aura.

But things are different now. He no longer feels any pressure from this tomb.

"Let's go."

Chen Xiao smiled and, without the slightest hesitation, took the lead and rushed in.

Xiao Chen followed closely behind.

The Heavenly Tomb is shrouded in a misty fog; solitude and silence are the eternal themes of this world.

The hazy space suddenly twisted, and two figures appeared in mid-air.

Chen Xiao glanced at the somewhat familiar surroundings, then looked out into the void.

He could feel that from the moment he entered this space, there was a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows.

These eyes are everywhere, as if the mountains, rocks, grass and trees are all its manifestations.

With his advantage in memory, Chen Xiao knew exactly why.

Clearly, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb sensed his threat and was extremely wary and cautious of him.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just bringing someone to meet Xiao Xuan this time," Chen Xiao said calmly, looking up at the sky.

The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb may have believed it, or perhaps it pretended to believe it. Not long after it finished speaking, Chen Xiao noticed that the feeling of being spied on had vanished without a trace.

With a smile, Chen Xiao didn't mind. His vast soul power spread out, and after determining the direction, he grabbed Xiao Chen and quickly rushed towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.

The Heavenly Tomb is filled with countless energy entities, including some at the Dou Sheng level.

However, even such beings couldn't help but show surprise and tremble when they sensed the two powerful pressures flying across the sky. They didn't try to stop them at all and could only watch helplessly as the two figures disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

With Chen Xiao's current speed and the lack of obstacles along the way, it only took a few minutes to bring Xiao Chen to the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.

On that desolate plain, Chen Xiao saw once again the ancient tombstone he had seen years before.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Xuan, if you don't show yourself soon, I'm about to take Xiao Chen away."

Looking at the tombstone, Chen Xiao chuckled and politely knocked on the door.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a soft laugh rang out.

"What, can't I even compose myself?"

At the same time, a figure quietly appeared in front of the tombstone. His black hair was draped over his shoulders, making him look exceptionally carefree. He had a faint smile on his face, which made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

This figure was none other than Xiao Xuan, who had spent about two and a half years with Chen Xiao!

"Cousin—it really is you!"

A choked voice came from behind Chen Xiao, and Xiao Chen's body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes instantly turning red.

He stared intently at the carefree figure before the tombstone, his voice filled with unbelievable excitement, as well as the grievances and longing he had suppressed for countless years.

Among them, there was also self-blame.

No one knows that after he came out of the Demon Flame Space and learned that the Xiao Clan had become history, he was bewildered and helpless. After gradually accepting this fact, Xiao Chen often wondered if the Xiao Clan could have avoided this outcome if he had not left back then and had one more fighter.

Although reason told him that with his strength, it was impossible for him to change the overall situation, it was a fact that he had missed that great battle. Once a person gets stuck in a rut, it is difficult for him to get out.

Putting everything else aside, Xiao Chen was certain that if he had participated in the war back then, the Xiao clan would have been able to save more of its members.

Outside the home, Xiao Chen could not share these complex thoughts with anyone, nor did he wish to discuss them with others.

Now that he had finally met Xiao Xuan, the emotions he had held back for years instantly collapsed and became uncontrollable.

The man does not flick when he has tears, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness!

Hearing Xiao Chen's voice, Xiao Xuan let out a long sigh.

Just as Chen Xiao implied, Xiao Xuan had already sensed it when the two entered the Heavenly Tomb.

He wasn't lying; he had been trying to compose himself.

"Why are you crying? I'm the one who led the tribe to its destruction. I'm not even crying, so why are you blaming yourself? Come on, let's talk inside."

Xiao Xuan's voice remained carefree, but the moment he turned around, the barely perceptible redness at the corner of his eye could not be hidden and was clearly seen by Chen Xiao.
