Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 262 Breaking the Forbidden Dragon Mark

A scroll, a nascent flame.

Of the two, Yao Lao ultimately chose the Strange Fire, but after hearing that the "Five Wheels Fire Control Technique" was a fire control technique, he asked to take a look, which Xiao Bai did not mind.

For him, combat techniques below the Heavenly Rank will become less and less effective.

If this thing hadn't been somewhat helpful in his lightning control, he wouldn't have felt bad about giving it away.

Given his relationship with Yao Lao and Xiao Yanzi, he would hardly care about anything other than things concerning his own future.

For example, both sides were well aware of the Burning Technique in Yao Lao's hands and his own Five Elements Thunder Seed, but they tacitly never asked about it.

Although Xiao Bai hasn't felt anything too obviously yet, some ideas have already begun to sprout in his mind.

Given his cultivation speed, very few people can keep up with him, and those he knew before will likely drift further and further apart in the future.

If the gap between the two is too large, even if he doesn't mind, others will probably feel a lot of pressure when interacting with him and won't be able to do as they please.

He had already sensed this when he made a trip to visit the Xiao family before leaving the Jia Ma Empire.

Now, in the entire Xiao family, only Xiao Yanzi can still act the same way in front of him; everyone else looks at him with either reverence or awe.

The pursuit of the Great Dao is a long and arduous journey, and he does not wish to walk alone, lest he look back in the future and find that he has no old friends left.

Xiao Yanzi has this potential, and as long as he doesn't get in Xiao Bai's way, Xiao Bai is naturally willing to lend a helping hand if he can.

The old doctor took the "Five Wheels of Fire Method," carefully perused it, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes:

"This fire control technique is indeed exquisite. Although it is not a Heaven-rank technique, if one can master it, its power will be no less than that of an ordinary Heaven-rank fighting technique."

"Haha. Finally, someone with good taste! Come, come, Brother Yao, let me tell you about the things to pay attention to in this fighting technique!"

Yao Lao's sigh immediately struck a nerve with Yao Tianhuo, who was secretly annoyed that Xiao Bai didn't think much of his famous fighting technique. Upon hearing this, a smug glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately moved closer to Yao Lao to explain it to him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yao!"

A glint of light flashed in Yao Lao's eyes. Far from feeling presumptuous, his beard twitched, and he seemed extremely pleased.

"Two old foxes!"

Watching the two of them act, Xiao Bai secretly rolled his eyes.

The "Five Wheels of Fire Technique" is a high-level Earth-rank combat skill. Even Yao Lao could not fully master it in a short time without the soul being able to penetrate into it to learn it.

The two items that Xiao Bai took out were immediately guessed by Yao Lao to be related to the Yao Tian Fire, so he gave them a small compliment.

As for Yao Tianhuo, just hearing the name of the Medicine Venerable, one knows that he is an extraordinary alchemist, and his disciple can even fuse with a different kind of fire, so his future is limitless.

He immediately understood the implied meaning of the song and followed the old doctor's advice to cultivate a relationship.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, fighting and killing are very important, and human relationships are also indispensable.

The two continued to talk, but Xiao Bai had no intention of participating; he had other things to do at the moment.

He sat cross-legged, the vertical lines on his forehead glowing faintly, and in an instant, a pair of chaotic-colored eyes suddenly opened.

The perspective suddenly shifted upwards, and Xiao Bai's attention was focused on probing the magma below.

This was the first time he had used these rune-marked vertical eyes since his soul power broke through to the Spirit Realm.

Compared to when I was in the mortal realm, the pressure of using it is much less, and I no longer experience a splitting headache as soon as I delve a little deeper.

Moreover, after his soul underwent a transformation, he felt that his energy expenditure had decreased significantly, but he knew that this was an illusion and that his actual energy expenditure was about the same.

However, the quality of souls in the spirit realm is vastly different from that in the mortal realm.

Deep within the magma, scorching fire-attribute energy surged violently, but under Xiao Bai's gaze through the Eye of Chaos, all energy flows became clearly visible.

"Tsk tsk. There are just too many of these lizardmen!"

His senses continued to descend, passing through layers of magma, and looking down at the dense swarms of fire lizards, he felt a chill run down his spine.

At the same time, I felt a bit reckless for coming down for the first time. Looking around, there were dozens of lizardmen with the aura of Dou Zong and about ten with the aura of Dou Zun.

Upon seeing one of them, a flash of murderous intent crossed Xiao Bai's mind. It was this very beast who had once struck him with a palm, forcing him to retreat in a sorry state.

In the land of magma, crimson and surging, a white-bodied fire lizardman breathed in and out a vast amount of fire energy.

Suddenly, the lizardman opened his cold eyes, and after a moment of quiet perception, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He had just felt a chilling killing intent, but it was extremely vague, as if it came from across endless void.

Just as the lizard was wondering what was going on, a broken human voice suddenly rang out.

"Insolence! Who dares to peek into the tomb of the gods!"

Xiao Bai was also a little shocked. He saw two lizardmen with milky white bodies and incredibly powerful auras. Their loud shout made him feel dizzy.

This is the first time I've had this kind of reaction since I started using the vertical eye technique.

"A demigod!"

Xiao Bai glanced deeply at the two milky-white lizardmen, but didn't linger on them, continuing downwards.

Although the two lizardmen could sense that someone was watching them, the look of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes showed that they did not know what was going on.

"Luckily, I didn't act impulsively. Even those two old lizards would be helpless against the magma below. No wonder the two demigods only live up there; perhaps it's not just because of the Dragon Emperor!"

Xiao Bai's unique perspective, as if gazing into the distance, swept across countless lava flows. At this moment, the color of the lava had completely transformed into a reddish-black hue.

These magmas emitted a strange fluctuation, which made Xiao Bai's heart pound with fear. The sense of crisis he felt was even greater than that of the two semi-saint lizardmen he had encountered before.

Finally, Xiao Bai's view was blocked by an invisible layer. Although there was still endless lava in his line of sight, he had a strange illusion that the lava in front of him was fake.

"We've finally arrived!"

Having touched that strange energy field deep underground, Xiao Bai did not hesitate and was just one step away from increasing the input of his soul power.

"Pop!"

With a sound like a cork being pulled from a bottle, Xiao Bai's perspective instantly shifted to a dark and silent endless space.

The entire space was devoid of any vitality, as if it had been steeped in countless years, with every inch filled with antiquity and vicissitudes.

Xiao Bai ignored all of that; his attention was immediately drawn to a ball of light in the distance.

The light wasn't intense, but it was like the center of the entire space; its presence brought life to this otherwise desolate place.

Xiao Bai's soul perspective trembled slightly; he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression—

The power contained in that light far exceeded his imagination!

As the camera zoomed in, he took in the entire scene within the ball of light.

A stone gate.

A massive stone gate, tens of thousands of feet high, exuding an awe-inspiring power.

The stone gate stood silently, as if suppressing the entire space, existing since time immemorial. When facing it, an ancient and wild aura slowly emanated and rushed towards you.

At the top of the magnificent stone gate, four ancient and simple characters, illuminated by the light emanating from the gate, reveal an endless power that transcends heaven and earth.

Ancient Emperor's Cave!

As soon as Xiao Bai's gaze fell upon these four characters, he instantly felt his soul power rapidly draining away from his sea of ​​consciousness, and he was greatly alarmed.

"not good!"

Just as I was about to look away, I found that his gaze seemed to be firmly locked on the four characters, unable to move even slightly.

Xiao Bai was immediately horrified. Before he could think any further, he tried to sever the connection, but found that his consciousness was locked by the stone door and could not be broken at all.

"Damn it, Tuoshe, you old bastard, am I going to end up like the old Dragon Emperor, with my consciousness locked up above this door?"

Xiao Bai's face was grim as he frantically racked his brains for a solution.

As his soul power dwindled, Xiao Bai knew he couldn't delay any longer. A thought flashed through his mind, and a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

"Whether it works or not, let's give it a try!"

As Xiao Bai made up his mind, a pair of chaotic-colored eyes, several meters long, immediately appeared in this silent space.

This eye is larger, deeper, and more ethereal than the one I used to deal with Protector Wu in the Gama Empire!

"Huh, what's this thing? Why does it feel so familiar?"

In the distance, as if sensing the movement, a pair of enormous golden pupils slowly opened.

Then, suddenly, specks of five-colored light appeared in those chaotic eyes, with lightning flashing within them and bursts of thunder echoing through the silent space.

"Interesting. Interesting that they'd even consider taking over the Tuoshe Cave, but..."

The old Dragon Emperor shook his massive head slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes:

"Too weak"

He was so weak that he didn't even bother to lift a finger; he just treated it as a bit of entertainment when he was bored, watching the show!

If the methods left by Tuoshegudi were so easy to break, why would he have been trapped here for thousands of years?

"Break!"

With a roar, the Eye of Chaos unleashed a five-colored bolt of lightning, which shot rapidly toward the stone gate. Before it even got close, it was completely consumed by the light emanating from the stone gate and vanished into nothingness.

"This five-colored lightning is quite impressive, actually containing all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It's a pity the user's cultivation is too weak, only at the Dou Zong level. If it were like mine, perhaps the person behind it could actually help me escape!"

When the old Dragon Emperor saw the five-colored lightning appear in his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This was the first time he had ever seen such a thing.

A question arose in my mind: with the passage of countless years, has the outside world developed to this extent?

Xiao Bai carefully sensed the situation and found that after the attack, the binding force weakened slightly, but the weakened binding force was immediately strengthened again.

"!"

Xiao Bai almost cursed out loud for a moment. He had used all his strength in that attack, yet it was as if he had only splashed up a tiny, insignificant drop of water in a raging torrent.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, how about we make a deal?"

The giant eye trembled slightly, and a distant, ethereal voice emanated from it, though it seemed to carry a hint of helplessness.

"Do you know me?"

A thoughtful glint flashed in the old Dragon Emperor's indifferent eyes. Countless years had passed, and even among the ancient dragon clan of the Void, there should be very few people who knew him.

Could it be one of his clansmen? But so many years have passed. If it really were one of his clansmen, they couldn't possibly be this weak.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes:

"You are that weak human being!"

A scene from not long ago flashed through his mind. Although the voice had changed, becoming indifferent and aloof, the way they addressed him remained the same.

"!" Xiao Bai.

Could you please remove that adjective?

"Tell me quickly, where is my child?"

The old dragon emperor's voice rang out urgently, and a dazzling purple-gold light burst forth, causing violent fluctuations in the space. A huge, ferocious head approached the vertical eye.

It was as if it wanted to see Xiao Bai's true form through this giant eye.

"I will tell you about Zi Yan's matter later, senior. Right now, the characters on this stone gate seem to be able to lock my soul and consciousness. I beg you to lend me a hand!"

His vertical eyes were filled with a chaotic color, and his voice was devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing this, the old dragon emperor's enormous pupils widened in surprise, and he was overjoyed. He slowly retracted his protruding head, and a low laugh escaped his lips as his dragon whiskers swayed.

"Young man, you'd better not deceive me, or else..."

The space suddenly fell into an eerie silence. The old dragon emperor's pupils contracted to a thin line as he stared intently at the chaotic eyes. The chilling killing intent made the surrounding space seem to be frozen by ice.

He could sense that the power contained in those eyes was indeed completely different from the common cultivation system on the Dou Qi Continent.

With his soul power, he couldn't see what was inside. When he probed with his soul power, it was as if he were exploring a vast and mysterious world.

"interesting."

The Dragon Emperor suddenly opened his ferocious dragon mouth.

"I don't know why you have this feeling, but the methods of a Dou Di are probably not easy to counter. If I help you, you will owe me a favor, how about it?"

"Can!"

Xiao Bai agreed without hesitation. Regardless of whether the old Dragon Emperor was lying to him, it was just one condition. As long as he could escape, what was wrong with agreeing?

The old Dragon Emperor's eyes suddenly gleamed, and with a light wave of his dragon claw, a dazzling purple-gold dragon breath burst forth.

The dragon's breath did not attack the stone gate, but instead transformed into countless tiny golden runes, which coiled around Xiao Bai's Eye of Chaos.

"This is my 'Breaking the Forbidden Dragon Mark,' which can temporarily sever your connection with the characters. Combined with your thunderous power, it should completely dispel the influence of the stone gate!"

Xiao Bai immediately understood, and the Eye of Chaos suddenly burst forth with dazzling five-colored lightning.

Lightning and dragon patterns intertwined, forming a strange energy vortex in the void.

Xiao Bai instantly felt a substantial soul feedback, and the soul power he had consumed rapidly recovered. In an instant, his soul power was restored, and it even showed a slight improvement.

"Click—"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Xiao Bai immediately felt his soul lighten.

He dared not hesitate for a moment. The Eye of Chaos closed instantly and was moved away from the stone door before daring to open the giant eye.

"As expected of a Dou Di powerhouse, he's truly terrifying. Just a few words were enough to almost ensnare me!"

Xiao Bai's chaotic giant eyes gazed at the old Dragon Emperor, his voice still indifferent and ethereal, devoid of any emotion:

"Thank you for your help, Dragon Emperor!"

"You've got some nerve! Although your fighting technique is quite amazing, you're just a Spirit Realm soul, and your cultivation is probably no more than a Dou Sheng. How dare you come to the Dou Di's cave!"

Zhu Kun didn't pay attention to Xiao Bai's tone. He had a guess in his heart that the voice coming from it was all in the same tone, so it must be related to this eye.

But he had something on his mind right now and didn't want to talk about it too much. He sighed and then asked about what he cared about most:

"Human, I have helped you escape. Now it is your turn to fulfill your promise and tell me: where is my child, and how is he?"
