Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 286 I spit on you, you're absolutely disgusting

"Ice Shield!"

He shouted sharply, crossed his arms to block, and a crystal-clear ice shield instantly condensed above his head.

"boom!"

The lightning palm collided with the ice shield, unleashing a deafening roar.

The ice shield held for only a moment before shattering with a deafening roar. Ice Rune was struck as if by lightning, his body flying backward.

"How is that possible?!"

Bing Yuan was shocked and quickly flew over to catch the ice talisman.

In a single exchange, Bing Fu, a six-star Dou Zong, was sent flying by a single palm strike, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Last time, although this guy was very strong, he relied more on puppets.

If he were to use secret techniques to enhance his cultivation as he did last time, he wouldn't be surprised at all. But this time, he had real, unadulterated strength, without a single fancy trick.

"His strength is far greater than before!"

Ice Talisman's face was slightly pale, and some lightning arcs still remained on her body. She clutched her chest, where a tearing sensation kept coming from her, which was not only itchy but also very painful.

"With such strength at the three-star Dou Zong level, it seems we can't let you continue to grow. Otherwise, my Ice River Valley might have another terrifying enemy in the future!"

Bing Yuan's face was gloomy, his gaze fixed on the black-robed youth not far away.

Their original purpose in coming here was to confirm his identity. Once confirmed, they would either interrogate or arrest him to find out the whereabouts of the Calamity Poison Body or force her to reveal herself.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, this young man, who seemed to be in a relationship with the Calamity Poison Body, has already risen from a Seven-Star Dou Huang to this level.

A three-star Dou Zong can fight a six-star Dou Zong!

With the addition of a high-level Dou Zong puppet that hasn't appeared yet, this is a situation that he and Bing Fu can no longer handle.

Turning around, he clasped his hands in a salute towards the outer edge of the Tianmu Mountains and said loudly:

"Please, Elder Snake, lend us your assistance in capturing this child!"

The sound echoed throughout the Tianmu Mountains, causing Jin Shi, Jin Gu, and the others who were watching the battlefield to change their expressions drastically and turn their gazes to the direction Bing Yuan was facing.

"Clan leader, the snake elder he mentioned, could it be...?" Jin Gu exclaimed, sensing the sudden drop in temperature around him.

"That's right, it should be that Elder Tian She. It's said that he is not only incredibly strong, but he has also cultivated the Ice Venerable Force of Ice River Valley to its peak. Ordinary Dou Zong are no match for him even after ten rounds. Moreover, he is ruthless and never leaves anyone alive. He likes to use the Ice Venerable Force to freeze people into lifelike ice sculptures. He has a notorious reputation in the Central Region!"

Jin Shi reached out and caught a snowflake falling from the sky. Even with his current cultivation level, he felt a slight, stinging coldness in his hand, and his expression became solemn.

"Then Mr. Xiao is in danger now?" Jin Gu murmured softly, his gaze fixed on the calm black-robed youth in the air.

"Let's wait and see. I overheard his conversation with Ice River Valley; his methods must be quite sophisticated. This is a very complicated situation. It's beyond our reach now!"

Jin Shi looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

The Tianmu Mountains are half-hidden in the sky.

Xiao Bai stood in mid-air, five-colored lightning swirling around him, like a thunder god descending to earth, coldly looking down at everything.

"Peak of the Dou Zong realm!"

The snowflakes falling all around were shattered by the arcs of lightning that spread out before they could even get close.

At a certain moment, Xiao Bai looked up and saw that the space in front of Bing Yuan rippled slightly, and a hunched figure leaning on a snake cane slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

In an instant, a chilling, murderous aura spread out, and everything within a radius of several miles was covered with a layer of dark blue ice crystals.

"Young man, you have good talent and are a promising prospect, but you lack experience. However, it's not a big problem."

The old man, leaning on his cane, narrowed his aged eyes, scrutinized Xiao Bai for a moment, and then smiled slightly:

"I'll give you a choice to live. Tell me the whereabouts of the Calamity Poison Body, and I'll let you join my Ice River Valley. How about it?"

"Elder Snake, how can this be?" Ice Talisman exclaimed in shock. "He killed many disciples of my Ice River Valley."

"Shut up!"

A cold glint flashed in the old snake's eyes, and he gently paused with his snake-shaped cane, causing Bingfu to be knocked back several steps.

"A dignified six-star Dou Zong was actually defeated by someone with only three-star cultivation, and you still have the nerve to speak?"

After reprimanding Bing Fu, Elder Tian She turned around, his face once again displaying a kind smile:

"Young man, I admire those with exceptional talent the most. If you are willing to submit, you will not only be spared from being killed today, but you will also receive the full support of my Ice Valley."

He paused, then lightly tapped the air with his cane:

"As for the Calamity Poison Body, such a scourge of the world should not exist in this world. If you can help my Ice River Valley to eradicate it, it will be a great achievement."

Upon hearing these shameless remarks, Xiao Bai suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, his voice like thunder.

After a long pause, the laughter abruptly stopped, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he roared:

"Old man, who do you think you are, joining you like it's a great favor? Bah! You're disgusting! Your Ice River Valley doesn't even deserve it!"

"Why are you searching for the Calamity Poison Body? Do you really think I don't know? Calling it a scourge of the world, you have the audacity to claim you'll eradicate it. Why don't you go back and talk to your Valley Master Binghe face-to-face, and see what kind of expression that old guy with the Acquired Calamity Poison Body will have when he hears this?"

Upon hearing this, the old snake's expression changed drastically. His previously kind face gradually turned indifferent, his withered fingers clenched his snake-claw tightly, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"You little beast! I initially took pity on you because of your talent, but instead of showing any gratitude, you dare to slander the Valley Master!"

"Since you refuse my offer of wine, then I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture. Once I've searched your soul to find the whereabouts of the Calamity Poison Body, I'll smash you inch by inch, so you'll know the consequences of offending my Ice River Valley!"

As he spoke, the snake-shaped crutch suddenly plunged into the void, and a hundred-foot-long ice snake appeared out of thin air.

"Ice Sovereign Force - Heavenly Serpent Descends!"

Sensing the astonishing chill emanating from the giant snake, Xiao Bai's gaze turned slightly solemn. Although it wasn't directly in his presence, the fighting spirit within his body felt slightly stagnant.

Take a deep breath and ask yourself in a low voice:

"Elder Yao, are you confident you can hold them off?"

"well"

A soft sigh rang out, and a faint light emanated from the white storage ring on Xiao Bai's hand. Then, a phantom soul slowly appeared beside him, transforming into an old figure.

"I am currently only at the level of an eight-star Dou Zong, while this person has already stepped into the Venerable Realm with one foot in, going further than those two from Canaan Academy. Holding him off shouldn't be difficult, but since I don't have a physical body right now, my soul power will be depleted, and my strength will decline."

Yao Tianhuo stretched his limbs as if he were doing it, then turned his head and shook his head helplessly at Xiao Bai.

"Don't worry, I'll come help you after I've finished killing those people here, in case we really can't win."

Glancing at the ice snake that was almost upon him, Xiao Bai shrugged:

"At worst, we can just pack up and leave!"

"Alright!"

Yao Tianhu shrugged indifferently. He liked this shameless attitude. If he could win, he would fight; if he couldn't, he would run away. He still believed in Xiao Bai's current ability to escape.

"Hurry up with your work over there!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the ice serpent attacking from above, and a vast and powerful soul storm suddenly erupted and swept out.

"boom!"

The soul storm collided violently with the hundred-foot-long ice serpent, and the terrifying shockwave instantly swept across the entire Tianmu Mountain Range. Countless towering ancient trees were uprooted, rocks shattered, and chaos reigned between heaven and earth.

"A soul entity? An eight-star Dou Zong?!"

Elder Tian She's pupils shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

I never expected that Xiao Bai would have such a powerful figure hidden by his side. Didn't the intelligence say that there was only one puppet?

"Gaga. I'm your opponent!"

Yao Tianhuo laughed loudly, feeling quite excited. He hadn't fought in hundreds of years, and his hands were itching to get started.

An invisible soul storm swirled around his body, his soul body rippled with strange fluctuations, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, actively attacking Elder Tian She.

The two instantly engaged in battle, and the terrifying fluctuations of their fighting spirit caused the entire sky to tremble.

"Now, it's our turn."

Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze, his eyes turning cold as he looked at Bing Yuan and Bing Fu. A sinister smile appeared on his lips. These two guys have been living for a while. He would kill them first, make Ice River Valley pay some interest, and settle the final score later.

He slowly raised his right hand, and five-colored lightning gathered in his palm, transforming into a lightning spear.

Bing Yuan's face turned ugly. He hadn't expected this kid to have so many hidden cards up his sleeve, like a bottomless black hole.

Originally, the snake was meant to be a trump card to counter his mysterious techniques, but unexpectedly, another soul entity emerged from his body that could hold off a peak Dou Zong.

A surge of chilling energy erupted from his body, and he turned his head to roar at the ice talisman not far away:

"Attack together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal, and frost in the void rapidly condensed. Countless ice crystal chains shot out from the void and wrapped around Xiao Bai.

"Ice Sovereign Force - Mystic Ice Lock!"

"A trivial skill."

Xiao Bai snorted coldly, and swept his lightning spear horizontally, instantly shattering the ice chains with violent lightning power.

With a flick of his sleeve, a flash of silver light appeared, and a tall, silver figure appeared beside him.

Upon seeing the silver figure, Bing Yuan and Bing Fu's expressions instantly darkened. They were very familiar with this thing, and had even fought against it before, knowing that it was a puppet with power comparable to a Seven-Star Dou Zong.

"Go, play with him for a bit, leave him barely alive, don't kill him, he still has a use!"

Seeing the two men's gloomy faces, Xiao Bai smiled slightly and pointed at the ice talisman.

As soon as the voice fell, the Earth Demon Puppet stomped its foot in the void and shot up like a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the Ice Talisman, raised its arm, and delivered a simple yet powerful punch that was both fast and accurate, slamming into the latter's chest.

Bingfu's expression changed drastically, and an overwhelming chill surged forth as he instinctively swung out a palm strike.

"Bang!"

Fist and palm collided, but the Earth Demon Puppet remained unmoved. The Ice Talisman, however, let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood sliding from the corner of its mouth. It staggered backward in the void, leaving behind a series of spatial ripples with its footsteps.

"Ice Rune!"

Seeing that the ice talisman was still retreating, the puppet transformed into a streak of silver light once more. Bing Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to go forward to provide support.

"Do you mean I don't exist?"

Thunder and lightning roared beneath his feet. Xiao Bai flashed forward, blocking Bing Yuan's path. With a flick of his lightning spear, thunder rumbled and a dragon's roar resounded, and a lightning dragon tens of feet long appeared.

"You deserve to die!"

Seeing the ice talisman sent flying by the puppet's punch once again, Bing Yuan's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his palm.

"Ice Sovereign's Power - Blood Sacrifice to the Frosty Heavens!"

As the essence and blood were absorbed, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Countless ice crystals condensed in the void, transforming into a sharp ice blade tens of meters long. With a tearing sound as space shattered inch by inch, it swept fiercely towards the five-colored thunder dragon.

BOOM!

Thunder dragons danced wildly, ice blades whistled, and the two collided violently.

Raging lightning raged, and eerie blue ice crystals danced in the air. The lightning dragon gradually became ethereal, and the ice blades were instantly vaporized.

"Pfft."

Bing Yuan's ice armor shattered, his face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood crackling with lightning. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai, the hatred in them capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas.

Xiao Bai was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals. His body trembled, and lightning flashed again, instantly vaporizing the frost on his body. White mist rose around him, making him look like an immortal in the clouds.

"Glacier Valley, nothing special!"

With a cold laugh, Xiao Bai suddenly spread his five fingers, and lightning surged from his palm.

In an instant, the space within a radius of a hundred feet suddenly distorted, and countless five-colored lightning bolts burst forth from the void, weaving into an impenetrable net of lightning.

Bing Yuan was horrified to discover that the circulation of his fighting spirit had become sluggish.

"not good!"

He hurriedly made a hand seal to try to break free, but saw that Xiao Bai's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

"Too slow."

A cold voice rang in his ears. Bing Yuan felt a chill on his neck and his whole body was lifted up. His body was covered in colorful lightning, and his fighting spirit was suppressed, making it impossible for him to mobilize even a fraction of it.

"you"

Bing Yuan turned her head with difficulty, only to meet Xiao Bai's indifferent eyes, devoid of any emotion.

"Don't worry, your junior brother will be here to keep you company soon."

Xiao Bai flicked his wrist, and a five-colored longsword was grasped by his slender hand. After slashing three times on the body, he did not hesitate at all. He released his strength, and the life force in Bing Yuan's eyes gradually dissipated.

He stored the body in a separate storage ring and turned his gaze to the other side of the battlefield.

The Earth Demon Puppet was relentlessly beating the Ice Rune while it was suspended in mid-air. Each strike of its silver fist was accompanied by the cracking sound of bones shattering. The Ice Rune was already unrecognizable and barely clinging to life.

"Keep alive."

Xiao Bai arrived gracefully, raised his hand to stop the earth demon puppet's final attack, and raised his long sword again, repeating the same process once more.

After a few breaths, Xiao Bai picked up the corpse from the ground and looked up at the sky.

There, the battle between Yaotianhuo and Elder Tianshe had reached its climax.

The entire sky was divided in two: one side was a deep blue, frigid realm, and the other side was a blazing storm of souls.

At this moment, Xiao Bai's aura began to fluctuate.

Samsung Douzong

Four-Star Dou Zong

After reaching the peak of the fourth star, the upward trend of his aura slowed down, and after a while, he struggled to cross a barrier and gradually calmed down.

"Can it only reach five stars?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and he sighed inwardly. It seemed that the weakness of the five elements in his dantian was even affecting the power of the Great Five Elements Divine Light. Otherwise, two six-star Dou Zongs should have been able to push him to the level of a six-star Dou Zong.

At this moment, Elder Tianshe, who was fighting Yaotianhuo, noticed the commotion and his expression changed drastically upon seeing it.

"Ice Element! Ice Talisman!"

He roared, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.

"You little beast, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Elder Tianshe suddenly forced Yaotianhuo back with a palm strike, then turned and rushed towards Xiao Bai.

"Want to leave? Have you asked me first?"

Yao Tianhu sneered, unleashing his soul power to form an invisible barrier in front of Elder Tianshe.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai, leading the Earth Demon Puppet, formed a triangular opposition with Yao Tianhuo, surrounding the Heavenly Serpent, a cold smile appearing on his lips:

"That old geezer, he can barely protect himself, yet he still has time to worry about those two dead men!"
