Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 258 Spare my life!

After a strange, ecstatic hiss, several urgent cries rang out from inside the tower.

From the circular black hole at the bottom of the tower, fiery red magma surged, and a huge, ferocious snake head emerged from it.

The invisible fire python only showed its head; its massive body did not immediately leave the underground magma. Gazing at the dozens of figures at the bottom of the tower, its cold, serpentine eyes revealed a hint of wariness.

His gaze swept over everyone, as if he were confirming something.

The students of Canaan Academy shuddered as they stared into those bloodthirsty eyes, their hearts filled with extreme fear. Their bodies burned as if they were deep in magma, and their faces flushed red.

Some trainees even collapsed and fell unconscious, their entire bodies engulfed in a layer of transparent flames, putting them in extreme danger.

"Elders, quickly, increase your battle aura output! The energy shield is about to break!"

The Little Fairy Doctor's aura surged wildly, her pretty face flushed red, her slender body standing alone at the forefront, the energy barrier in front of her constantly twisting and hissing, and was now only a thin layer.

Once the energy shield is broken, even if the Fallen Heart Flame doesn't attack, just the heart fire unconsciously emanating from its body will likely kill most of the people behind it.

"Little Fairy Doctor, your cultivation level is the highest here, you'll definitely be able to get out. Why don't you go first and don't worry about us? Otherwise, if our battle energy is exhausted, we'll all die here!"

An elder felt his fighting spirit rapidly draining away and couldn't help but feel despair. He turned to Little Fairy Doctor and said...

If it weren't for Little Fairy Doctor stepping forward on her own, most of them would have been killed or injured.

"Not bad, your cultivation has reached the Dou Huang level in such a short time. Your future is limitless. You don't need to die with us old codgers!"

Another elderly man with white hair and beard offered advice, his gaze sweeping over the large group of unconscious students behind him, a flicker of anger and resentment in his eyes:

"It's such a pity for these little ones; they're at the prime of their lives, yet they've met with this misfortune!"

Just then, the invisible fire python seemed to have confirmed something. It opened its huge mouth wide and suddenly let out an extremely sharp hiss. The five-tone sound waves spread rapidly and crashed heavily into the energy shield.

"Pfft!"

Ripples spread across the energy barrier, followed by several elders catching their breath and then spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Snap!"

A faint sound came from the energy barrier, and everyone's expression changed drastically. They had not expected that this beast was so powerful; even a casual hiss could have such destructive power.

What happened next filled them with fear.

On the fire python's enormous head, from within its ferocious maw, invisible flames surged, and violent energy gathered, bursting forth suddenly towards its target.

It was that crumbling energy barrier.

The invisible flames shot straight in, distorting the space to varying degrees along their path, resembling ripples rapidly spreading across the surface of water.

"It's over!"

Everyone had the same thought at that moment: with such a powerful surge of strange fire energy coming, probably no one here could escape it.

Little Fairy Doctor swallowed hard. This flame could even distort space itself by burning it. If it got on her body, she would probably be burned to ashes.

His gray-purple eyes hesitated for a moment, then his hands quickly formed a hand seal. A shattering sound seemed to echo within his body, and his aura suddenly surged, with thick streams of poisonous gas swirling around him.

A vast expanse of gray mist emanated from the fairy doctor's graceful body and was firmly contained around her.

Upon seeing this, the students from Canaan Academy were somewhat confused. At the same time, they smelled a sweet fragrance, and their heads immediately spun. They were horrified and retreated, shrinking tightly into a corner and holding their breath.

Sensing the rising aura emanating from Little Fairy Doctor, a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor was preparing to fight with all her might, she suddenly felt a tightening around her waist, and the poison gas that was constantly erupting in her body was suppressed by a familiar force.

"noob."

Looking up, she saw the face so close to her, a face she knew to the core. A look of surprise and joy immediately appeared on Xiao Yixian's pretty face, and her heart instantly calmed down.

Xiao Bai's face was cold and stern as he looked up at the surging flames. His eyes seemed to explode with countless bolts of lightning as they opened and closed, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Raising his arm, multicolored lightning surged forth from his palm, instantly causing countless bolts of electricity to fly out from the bottom of the tower, as if it had transformed into a lightning prison.

"roll!"

A shout, as loud as thunder from the heavens, suddenly resounded within the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, causing the entire tower to tremble slightly.

The invisible fire python stared at the suddenly appearing figure, its icy snake eyes narrowing sharply as it fixed its gaze on the black robe, its eyes filled with resentment and fear.

This is the person. If he hadn't run fast last time, his essence would have been almost destroyed!

The scene that terrified the snake was just flashing through his mind when he saw that the man's palm, like a blazing sun, instantly transform into a huge palm print and slammed down on it.

Wherever the palm print passed, the invisible flames that were shooting out were instantly suppressed, and the sound of crystals shattering echoed continuously in the space, with tiny spatial cracks constantly opening and closing.

"grumble!"

An angry, strange hiss echoed through the tower's space. The invisible fire python struggled fiercely, its massive body bursting into the air, seemingly trying to escape the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"Bang!"

The five-colored lightning palm print collided violently with the invisible fire python's giant tail, and the violent energy ripples exploded instantly, causing the entire Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower to tremble violently, and countless fragments of stone to fall.

The Canaan Academy students were blinded by the dazzling lightning, and then a deafening explosion was heard, followed by the fire python's painful hiss!

Above, the two figures who were locked in combat watched this scene with shocked expressions.

"Gulp!"

Han Feng swallowed hard, his expression changing drastically as he watched the invisible fire python, its tail severed and carrying a deluge of flames, sweeping upwards and fleeing. Without hesitation, he darted forward.

"Damn, Brother Bai is really angry this time!"

Xiao Yan stared at the invisible fire python charging towards him, his face turning slightly pale. The oppressive feeling brought by the latter's massive body made him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

But even with such terrifying strange fire, a look of human-like terror appeared in those giant eyes as it fled at top speed.

At the bottom of the tower, a giant tail of invisible flames fell down, twisting wildly. The magma instantly boiled, and towering waves of fire surged up, making the entire bottom of the tower look like a purgatory!

The five elements circulated within Xiao Bai's dantian, and instantly a tremendous devouring power erupted. The giant tail on the ground instantly transformed into countless transparent flames, forming a line of fire that was absorbed into his body.

Within his dantian, a bright crimson light instantly shone, overpowering the other four types of light.

"What's wrong?"

Little Fairy Doctor raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Bai. A trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes. She reached out her slender hand and gently stroked his slightly furrowed brows with her jade fingers.

"It's nothing, I just ate a little too much Flame at once, and my body is a bit unbalanced!"

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly, looked at the little fairy doctor whose face was covered with purplish-gray patterns, and sighed softly:

"You've broken the seal I placed on you again?"

"I...I'm sorry!"

Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head, twisting her hands in front of her abdomen, her eyes darting around, feeling a little wronged.

"I'm not blaming you!"

Xiao Bai reached out and gently stroked the purplish-gray patterns spreading across Little Fairy Doctor's face. Five-colored light emanated from his fingertips, and the hideous poisonous patterns slowly faded away as if ice and snow were melting.

He just felt a little sorry for her, because every time the seal was broken, she would suffer a lot of pain.

Moreover, after the seal is broken, each time the Calamity Poison Body erupts, the more difficult it becomes to seal, and the more terrifying the next eruption will be, until that final fate arrives.

"Let's go, I'll take you out of here. Let's deal with the poisonous fog you released first!"

After ruffling Little Fairy Doctor's head, Xiao Bai turned and glanced at the group from Canaan Academy. With a wave of his hand, the inner fire that clung to them vanished completely.

"Xiao Bai, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we'd probably be done for here today!"

"Indeed, thanks to Master Xiao's timely arrival, these students are safe and sound. Otherwise, this would likely be the greatest loss in the history of Canaan Academy!"

An elder said with lingering fear, "The students of the inner academy are selected from among thousands. Losing dozens of them at once is an unbearable burden for the academy."

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone, let's go!"

Xiao Bai, carrying Little Fairy Doctor, flew out of the tower first. With her poison body erupting, he dared not let go. If he lost control, the entire inner courtyard might be wiped out today!

Outside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

A sharp howl echoed through the inner courtyard, and a raging fire that instantly distorted space spread rampantly.

"Han Feng, this can't go on. That beast seems to have inexhaustible energy, as if it'll never run out. If this stalemate continues, I'm afraid we'll be the first to give up!"

The old man in the golden robe frowned as he looked at the Black Corner Region expert who was covered in sweat, and said to Han Feng beside him.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng's expression shifted between light and dark. His gaze was fixed on the raging, invisible fire python, and he knew in his heart that it was impossible to obtain this strange fire today.

The man he invited didn't know what had just happened in the tower, but he saw it clearly and knew that once the person at the bottom of the tower came out, they wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

Moreover, the boy who appeared to be his junior brother was eyeing the powerful figures gathered from Canaan Academy with predatory intent.

"Gentlemen, please lend me a hand! If we can subdue the strange fire today, I will double the conditions you all set out for!"

Blue flames surged from Han Feng's body, and he adopted an attitude of certain victory, turning his head to shout at Chen Shusheng, one of the powerful figures in the Black Corner Region.

He knew that if these people backed down, he might die here today. In that case, it was better to take a gamble. If things didn't go well, someone would be there to draw the fire.

Upon hearing Han Feng's promise, the eyes of the group of Black Corner Region experts, whose faces had turned red, gleamed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, they all nodded vigorously in agreement under this temptation.

Most of the people in the Black Corner Region who have reached their current level of cultivation have lived on the edge of death, and are willing to do anything for profit.

"Follow my command, attack it together, as long as..."

As Han Feng was directing everyone's actions, the Fallen Heart Flame suddenly became agitated. It was hovering above the Black Tower and seemed extremely frightened, wanting to leave.

Han Feng's expression changed drastically, and he turned and left without hesitation. He was very familiar with this expression of Fallen Heart Flame; it was the same expression he had when he rushed out of the tower earlier.

"Han Feng, what are you doing?"

The powerful figures of the Black Corner Region, who were facing the raging strange fire, watched Han Feng flee at high speed. While they were puzzled, they were also furious. What a treacherous bastard!

Just as the people of the Black Corner Region were filled with shock and anger, they saw the space above the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower ripple, and their eyes narrowed.

"Wasn't he chasing after that old demon? How come he's here?"

Upon seeing a figure in black robes emerge from the air, his left arm encircling the slender waist of a white-haired woman, the people of the Black Corner Region were filled with extreme terror, and immediately understood why Han Feng had fled.

"Walk!"

Without hesitation, everyone turned and fled, using every means to escape as if they were afraid of losing two legs.

Even someone as powerful as the Earth Demon Old Ghost fell into this person's hands. These people don't even have the strength to fight back.

Just as the people of the Black Corner Region were scattering and fleeing, a rumbling thunder suddenly resounded throughout the world.

"Boom!"

Five-colored lightning burst forth from Xiao Bai's fingertips, instantly splitting into countless forms, enveloping all directions like a net covering the heavens and the earth.

Did I let you leave?

Xiao Bai's voice was soft, yet it sent a chill down everyone's spine. His left arm remained firmly around Little Fairy Doctor, while his right hand, with its five fingers spread wide, manipulated the lightning that filled the sky.

Each bolt of lightning struck the fleeing crowd with pinpoint accuracy, the rolling power of the thunder making their hair stand on end.

"Please spare my life!"

The two old men, one in gold and one in silver, felt an immense force pressing down on them, as if their bodies were sinking into a swamp. They looked at each other, horrified, and begged for mercy in trembling voices.

They had previously looked down on the old demon, who was a powerful seven-star Dou Zong, yet couldn't even handle a Dou Huang.

But when they faced this person directly, they realized that this Dou Huang was not the Dou Huang they knew.

The two of them were quite renowned in the Black Corner Region; the two peak Dou Huangs combined were no match for even a one-star Dou Zong.

At this moment, under that immense spiritual power, the body had virtually no room to struggle.

"Shut up!"

Xiao Bai frowned slightly and gently clenched his fist.

"Puff puff puff—"

Dozens of bolts of lightning flashed in the air, and the Black Corner Region experts fell like kites with broken strings before they could even scream.

"Tsk tsk. Taking down more than ten Dou Wangs in one move, Lei Xiu's attack power lives up to its reputation!"

"Pah! Stop trying to glorify yourself and other lightning cultivators. Is this a matter of lightning cultivators being powerful? It's a matter of Senior Xiao Bai being powerful, okay?"

"Exactly! Your attacks only last three seconds before you're done for. You can't even beat me, an earth-attribute user. How dare you compare yourself to Senior Xiao Bai!"

"!" Lei Xiu immediately retreated.

"Elder, I'm leaving these two to you. Xian'er's poison has flared up, and I need to take her to deal with it!" Xiao Bai glanced at the struggling Elders Jin and Yin, then turned to Su Qian and said.

"Okay, you go first, I'll handle the rest!" Su Qian said hurriedly, glancing at Little Fairy Doctor, who was shrouded in a layer of poisonous mist.

Good heavens, if this bomb explodes, it might be even more serious than the Fallen Heart Flame!

Xiao Bai nodded, took a step forward, and amidst the terrified expression of the Fallen Heart Flame, five-colored lightning erupted beneath his feet, delivering a whip kick to the chin of the fallen heart flame.

"Get down!"

That was where its origin was hidden. A ball of slightly white, transparent heart fire was kicked into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.
