Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 232 I'll wipe out your entire Xiao family in a minute!

As the murderous voice fell, eerie wailing sounds echoed from within the black mist.

The old doctor and Cai Lin stood guard in front of Xiao Bai, looking wary.

Through the thick black fog, a figure draped in a black cloak could be vaguely seen inside.

Beneath the cloak, a skeletal face resembling a dried-up corpse was revealed, terrifying and horrifying.

A pair of hands, like ghostly claws, reached out and grasped a small, dark cloth bag. With a gentle shake, more than a dozen illusory figures were revealed.

In an instant, a chilling wind howled across the entire summit of Yunlan Mountain, sounding like the wailing of souls, sending shivers down one's spine.

"You little bastard, even if I fail to complete the temple's regular mission today, I will make you pay the price!"

Looking inward at the core of his body, which had been cracked open, Protector Wu's killing intent was like a knife; he wished he could chop Xiao Bai into mincemeat.

The core has been damaged; it's unknown how much effort it will take to repair it.

Thinking about this, a faint sense of fear welled up inside me.

The Soul Palace doesn't value these protectors at all. Once their merits are insufficient and they can't be restored, they lose all their usefulness.

At that time, they will most likely face the same fate as the souls they collected: their intelligence will be erased and their original essence will be taken back.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became; the more I thought about it, the more terrified I became.

A strange, dense black light surged from his palm, continuously pouring into the dozen or so illusory figures in front of him.

The illusory figures began to merge and expand rapidly, growing to a size of about ten feet in the blink of an eye, looking like a small giant.

A dozen or so faces, clearly showing pain, appeared on the giant soul entity.

A sharp, mournful scream of a soul, carried by the wind, spread out and echoed throughout the entire summit of Yunlan Mountain.

"Walk!"

The old man's expression was unusually solemn. The giant soul gave him a faint sense of danger. If he were to take the blow head-on, he feared that his hard-won recovery would plunge him back into an endless slumber.

Cai Lin's pretty face was also extremely solemn. She nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Bai, who was still motionless behind her. Not knowing what he was doing at this moment, she had no choice but to put her arm around him and leave.

"Heh heh, trying to leave? Too late!"

A sinister, cruel laugh suddenly rang out:

"The myriad phenomena of the universe, the funeral of the soul!"

Just as the cold, sinister laughter of the Protector Wu echoed across the sky, the expressions of pain on the faces of the dozen or so people on the soul body, which had swelled to several meters in size, suddenly froze.

An exceptionally dense black light surged forth from the seven orifices of these souls. In the blink of an eye, under countless horrified gazes, cracks suddenly appeared on their bodies, and a vast energy radiance emanated from them.

"Oh no! Join forces to stop them!"

Before Yao Lao and Cai Lin had retreated far, they felt a chilling aura rising behind them. The target was very clear: it was coming for them, or more specifically, for Xiao Bai.

Seven-colored energy and pure white flames burst forth in an overwhelming burst.

"What on earth is this kid doing?"

Looking at Xiao Bai beside Cai Lin, Yao Lao frowned. He saw that Xiao Bai's aura was even more ethereal, but he showed no sign of opening his eyes.

"No matter what he does, I will protect him!"

Cai Lin's alluring jade cheeks tightened as she tightly embraced Xiao Bai, protecting him. She brandished her long sword, continuously creating barriers in front of her.

Xiao Bai could sense what was happening outside. From this magical perspective, not a single change in the outside world could escape his eyes.

But at that moment, he couldn't care less about what was happening outside; he was extremely shocked.

This was because he once again sensed that eerie black mist, not the one on Protector Wu's body, but the one in that mysterious space and in Cai Lin's sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment the giant soul was born, a barely perceptible wisp of black mist suddenly appeared within its body. This black mist was completely different from the one on Protector Wu's body; it was much deeper and more eerie.

Without special methods, ordinary people would find it difficult to detect this black mist, just like the colorful scales, which are surrounded by black mist in the sea of ​​consciousness but cannot be seen at all.

"What exactly is this? Could that space be connected to the Soul Palace or the Soul Clan in some way?"

As he zoomed in to observe, Xiao Bai's heart was filled with turmoil. Because of Cai Lin, he had been preparing to enter that space again to explore it properly.

But now that this situation has occurred, he is extremely vigilant. If that space is really related to the Soul Clan, he needs to carefully consider what to do!

"Damn it, could it be the Soul Emperor's doing?"

Xiao Bai's eyes were filled with uncertainty, and he felt a little uneasy. That space was clearly not something that someone with the cultivation level of a Dou Zun could create.

If it really was done by the Soul Emperor, then we're truly doomed if he gets alerted!

Thinking that there were no abnormalities during the two entries, his heart, which had been pounding, was relieved a little, regardless of whether it was related to the Soul Emperor or the reason for the shielding by the talisman.

At least he hasn't been exposed yet, which is a good thing!

"Damn it, is this still the Battle Through the Heavens I know?"

After venting his frustrations in his heart, Xiao Bai collected his thoughts. He heard Cai Lin's words about protecting him, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. His mind stirred slightly.

Outside, countless eyes were fixed on the strange, enormous soul in the sky, feeling the immense energy contained within it, their hearts pounding, and they sped away.

"Hey, what's Xiao Bai up to?"

The old apothecary's surprised voice rang out, his eyes fixed on the vertical eye on Xiao Bai's forehead.

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin slightly tilted her head to look at the man who was standing close to her.

Within that chaotic vertical eye, golden light flickered, and streaks of lightning leaped, causing the void to distort slightly.

A bolt of golden lightning leaped out and vanished into the void in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

Just as the enormous soul was about to explode, a series of thunderous sounds faintly rang out, and a golden light suddenly appeared between the giant soul's eyebrows.

"What is this?"

The skeletal face of the protector Wu showed deep shock, and the red light in his eye sockets flickered violently.

He could sense that after the golden lightning bolt shot into the soul's brow, it seemed to entangle with something for a moment.

The pained expressions on the dozen or so faces on the soul body slowly disappeared.

Moreover, the entire fused soul body showed signs of disintegration, as if it were about to separate again.

"You bastard!"

Protector Wu was both shocked and furious. He felt that this Xiao family boy was like his nemesis. Although his cultivation was only at the Dou Wang level, his methods were endless and extremely effective against him.

"Great opportunity! Take him down!"

Upon seeing this, Yao Lao's eyes flashed with joy. He could sense that the overall energy of that soul body had not changed, but it was no longer a unified whole as before.

Even if it explodes, its power will be much less than before.

Faced with Yao Lao and Cai Lin's renewed attack, Protector Wu's eyes flashed with intense hatred and resentment.

boom!

A deafening roar shook the entire Yunlan Mountain Range. An extremely terrifying black current, like a flash flood, erupted from the giant soul entity. In the blink of an eye, an eerie black light enveloped the entire world.

At the summit of Yunlan Mountain, it seemed as if endless darkness had descended, and the sun in the sky had vanished as if into thin air.

In the darkness, everyone panicked. After a moment, bursts of battle qi of various colors erupted, their faint light visible only within a few feet in the black mist.

"Heh heh, Yao Chen, Queen Medusa, and that brat from the Xiao family, how dare you ruin the affairs of my Soul Palace! This protector will make you regret this!"

In the dark void, a sinister voice echoed, gradually fading into the distance.

"How dare you!"

A voice filled with shock and anger suddenly rang out, and the old doctor vanished from his spot in a flash.

"You wretched creature, if you dare touch him, I will fight you to the death!"

In his pupils, a pair of ghostly claws rapidly enlarged. Xiao Yan's expression turned terrified, and the hairs on his body stood on end. An overwhelming pressure made him feel as if he couldn't even move a finger.

Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian, who were not far away, realized what was happening and were about to make a move, but it was too late.

The ghostly claw swept across the void, instantly reaching Xiao Yan's throat, just as he was about to grab it.

Suddenly, a five-colored light appeared in the corner of Wu's eye, swift as lightning, and struck straight at his head.

Sensing the energy fluctuations emanating from it, he was startled and recognized what it was—it was the strange boy's five-colored lightning.

Before he could even wonder why he was faster than Yao Chen, a scorching yet icy aura swept over him from behind.

A thought flashed through his mind: if this continued, he feared he wouldn't be able to leave today. He made a quick decision, retracting his hand, which transformed into a wisp of black smoke and soared into the sky.

"Huff."

Gasping for breath, Xiao Yan was filled with lingering fear. He had almost... almost died here today!

"Soul Palace."

Thinking of this power, his eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth.

"Xiao Yanzi, are you alright?"

The latest novel is first published here!

When Yao Lao appeared beside Xiao Yan and saw that he was alright, he was relieved.

"Teacher, I'm fine. Luckily, Brother Bai intervened!" Xiao Yan shook his head, feeling extremely fortunate as he recalled the fleeting five-colored lightning.

"It's all thanks to him. That kid, for some reason, was still over there without any spatial fluctuations, yet he was faster than his master!"

The old doctor also saw the fleeting lightning and couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher, did those guys from the Soul Palace escape?" Xiao Yan looked up in the direction where Protector Wu had disappeared, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

"No, but..."

The old apothecary seemed to sense something, and his expression turned slightly grim.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Xiao Bai's place first, I'm going to chase after that guy!!"

As he spoke, Yao Lao grabbed Xiao Yan by the shoulder and flashed to Xiao Bai's side. He was worried about Xiao Yan. If those bastards from the Soul Palace were to launch a surprise attack, he would have nowhere to cry!

He glanced at Xiao Bai, who still had his eyes closed, gave some instructions to Xiao Yan, and then disappeared in a flash.

"Trying to escape?"

In the air, faint spatial ripples rippled, and colorful scales suddenly appeared above the head of the protector, as a seven-colored ribbon swung down fiercely.

"Nine Nether Soul Escape!"

Upon seeing this, Protector Wu remained completely unfazed, as if he had been prepared. With a low shout, the black mist instantly split into nine streams, dispersing in all directions.

"Just as he said, this guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"

Cai Lin looked at the nine streaks of black mist that had separated and fled, her expression slightly darkening. In her perception, these nine streaks of black mist were no different from each other.

Its ears twitched slightly, as if listening to something, and after a moment, it chased after something in one direction.

Dozens of miles away from Yunlan Mountain, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared, its form quite disheveled.

Protector Wu of the "Yao Chen Xiao Family" turned to look in the direction of Yunlan Sect, his face very ugly. After sensing the injuries in his body, his face darkened even more.

At this moment, he possessed less than one-tenth of his former strength, and the crack in his soul core was causing him immense pain.

"No! The souls I've collected over the years have been destroyed, and my very essence has been damaged. If I, the Protector, return like this, I will surely be punished."

When the topic of punishment came up, Protector Wu's eyes widened in fear, and he shuddered violently.

"Those two lads are surnamed Xiao, and they have quite a powerful background. Perhaps they are the Xiao family that Lord Palace Master is looking for. Why don't we go to Wutan City and take a look? If they really are him, not only will I not be punished, but I will also have performed a great service!"

As his thoughts raced, his brow furrowed slightly. Sensing the two auras chasing after him, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

"How could it be so fast?"

His gaze swept around, he found a direction, and the black mist flashed, gradually fading and disappearing.

A moment later, ripples appeared in the space, and two figures suddenly emerged from them.

"That guy paused here for a split second!"

The old apothecary closed his eyes to sense the lingering aura of the place, and after a moment, opened his eyes and pointed in one direction:

"They went that way!"

"That area... seems to be the Monster Mountain Range!"

Just as the two were about to set off, a familiar voice suddenly reached their ears:

"Utan City!"

On Yunlan Mountain, Xiao Bai sat cross-legged.

The perspective followed Protector Wu all the way; the people of the Soul Palace had strange methods, and he didn't know much about them.

To prevent the Protector Wu from escaping by accident, the vertical eye between his eyebrows remained open, in order to monitor his movements.

The thought of the concept of divine punishment that he had experimented with in the library of Canaan College stirred something within him.

This is a good opportunity to test whether this distance is feasible as long as it's within the range that can be seen with the vertical eye.

When he saved Xiao Yan before, he tried it out. It felt like he could project lightning at any moment, regardless of spatial distance.

On the other side, Protector Wu's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

"Do I have a phobia of that kid?"

I was a little suspicious. Along the way, perhaps because I was too weak, I kept having some inexplicable hallucinations.

Thunder rumbled in my ears, but when I carefully sensed my surroundings, I found nothing.

And there was always a feeling of being locked on by something, a feeling that was very familiar, just like when I was in the Yunlan Sect and was being watched by that Xiao family boy.

As I was deep in thought, I heard another faint rumble of thunder.

At a certain moment, he suddenly looked up, his expression one of utter horror, as a familiar five-colored radiance suddenly condensed above his head.

"This is definitely not a hallucination!"

The black mist vanished instantly, and the Protector Wu cursed inwardly as he sensed the five-colored lightning chasing after him.

What kind of methods are these? They're even more bizarre than those of their Soul Palace!

Time passed, and a city came into view in the distance.

As the Protector Wu fled, occasional arcs of lightning flickered across his body, and the black mist surrounding him almost completely dissipated.

With sinister red eyes, it looked up at the sky, where a huge vertical eye could be vaguely seen, with faint multicolored lightning gathering within it.

The eye followed the path, initially appearing as a fleeting phantom, but gradually becoming clearer.

A hoarse, menacing voice emanated from the tattered black robe:

"You bastard! You just wait, I'll wipe out your entire Xiao family in a minute!"
