Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 319 Soul Battle, Five-Colored Pill Lightning?!

"boom--!!!"

The body of the Three Thousand Burning Flames expanded to its limit, and the purplish-black flames, like a raging sea, frantically devoured the entire star field.

Space was distorted, the stars dimmed, and it seemed as if this world was about to collapse completely at any moment!

A scorching wave of air rushed towards them, and Cao Ying, Song Qing, and Dan Chen turned pale. Even as top geniuses of the younger generation of the Pill Tower, they felt a deep sense of despair under this earth-shattering power.

Cao Ying stared intently at the black-robed figure in front of her, her red lips pressed tightly together, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain whatsoever.

"Xiao Bai, can you really stop it?"

She felt both anticipation and fear; she hoped he could create a miracle, yet she feared that the miracle would ultimately be nothing more than wishful thinking.

Dan Chen's eyes reflected the overwhelming sea of ​​purplish-black flames as she murmured softly, "Will we...die here?"

Just as despair began to spread in the hearts of the three—

"roar--!"

Suddenly, the purple-gold dragon beside Xiao Bai let out a deafening roar, then transformed into a stream of light and plunged into his body!

"Buzz—!"

In an instant, Xiao Bai's body shone with a brilliant purple-gold light, like an ancient blazing sun, shining brightly in the endless sea of ​​fire!

"This is..." Cao Ying's pupils suddenly contracted.

The purple-gold light flowed, forming an indestructible barrier.

Whether it was the terrifying shockwave that shook the space or the surging purple-black sea of ​​fire, as soon as they touched the light, they were silently annihilated like ice and snow melting away!

"He... he really blocked it!" Dan Chen's mouth was slightly open, her eyes filled with shock.

Song Qing's expression was complex, a mixture of relief at surviving a disaster and a hint of indescribable jealousy.

With his back to the three, Xiao Bai stood tall and imposing like a mountain, unmoved amidst the raging sea of ​​fire.

That seemingly frail figure in the black robe exuded an unparalleled sense of security, as if no one could shake this world as long as he was there!

Beyond the star field, above Saint Dan City.

"Boom—!"

The sky, which had just calmed down, suddenly became distorted.

"Look! The sky... the sky has cracked open!" someone shouted in terror.

As everyone looked up, they saw tiny spatial rifts spreading out like a spider web, from which intense heat emanated. Occasionally, purplish-black fire mist would fall, igniting upon contact with the ground, causing chaos within the city.

Xuan Kongzi, Tian Leizi, and Xuan Yi hovered high in the sky, their faces solemn, with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.

They formed hand seals, and their boundless battle energy surged wildly into the star field entrance, attempting to stabilize this space on the verge of collapse.

"Damn it! The energy fluctuations in the star field are too strong. If this continues, the entire Saint Pill City will be affected!" Tian Leizi gritted his teeth and roared.

Xuan Yi and Xuan Kongzi exchanged a glance with solemn expressions before simultaneously looking towards the depths of the Pill Tower.

At that very moment—

"Buzz!"

A ray of purple-gold light burst forth from the spatial rift, like the breaking of dawn, instantly illuminating the entire dark sky! Those tiny spatial rifts rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"This is..." Xuan Kongzi's pupils contracted.

Standing atop the Pill Tower, Little Fairy Doctor's purple eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

"It's his scent..." she murmured softly, the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.

The three people in black exchanged glances, and all saw shock and relief in each other's eyes.

"It really was that kid who did it?!" Tian Leizi was filled with doubt and surprise, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Within the star field, the sea of ​​fire gradually subsided.

Cao Ying breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward to express her gratitude when she saw Xiao Bai's figure gradually become illusory and finally disappear into the void!

"Xiao Bai?!" Cao Ying's heart tightened.

A hint of anxiety flashed in her narrow, beautiful eyes as she looked around anxiously. She couldn't believe that the confident and arrogant guy would perish here.

Just then, a familiar voice echoed through the starry sky, calm and composed.

"You can't escape the Three Thousand Burning Flames."

The group looked up in the direction of the sound and saw the familiar figure in black robes suddenly appear in the distant void.

At this moment, the silver vertical stripe between Xiao Bai's eyebrows flashed with a ghostly light, instantly locking onto a spatial rift hidden in the void.

It turns out that the Three Thousand Burning Flames did not truly intend to perish together with the enemy, but rather used the energy accumulated from their self-destruction to temporarily break free from the Dragon Seal's restraints, while simultaneously attempting to escape the star field by taking advantage of spatial disorder!

"Buzz!"

A flash of five-colored lightning, and his figure appeared before the crack, standing with his hands behind his back, staring coldly ahead.

"Get out here."

"roar--!"

The dragon's body, wreathed in three thousand raging flames, was forced to materialize from the void, its eyes filled with shock and rage: "Human! Do you insist on annihilating us all?!"

Looking at the purple-gold radiance emanating from him, a deep sense of dread arose in his heart.

Xiao Bai said calmly, "Submit, or die."

"Don't even think about it!"

The three thousand flames roared, a glint of madness flashing in its dragon eyes, "Since you won't give me a way out... then let's die together!"

"boom--!"

It suddenly activated the dragon seal within its body, and a strange suction force erupted. Xiao Bai felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment, he was already in a purplish-black mental space!

Flames surged all around, and the dragon soul of the Three Thousand Burning Flames coiled in the void, roaring ferociously:

"Human ants, today I will annihilate your soul!"

This is his soul world. As long as he burns this human's soul, what does it matter if his dragon seal is more suppressive?

Maybe we can even gain control of the Dragon Seal, take control of this human, and thus leave this damned place!

Xiao Bai surveyed the boundless sea of ​​fire around him, his expression remaining calm: "A battle of souls? That's clever."

The Three Thousand Blazing Flames laughed wildly: "I am an immortal flame! Even if your soul is powerful, I can wear you down!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Bai's lips curled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Then let's give it a try."

"The Three Thousand Burning Flames are indeed an immortal flame, but unfortunately, you cannot represent the Three Thousand Burning Flames. If your sentience dissipates, the Three Thousand Burning Flames will still be the Three Thousand Burning Flames. What will become of you then?"

"I was born from the Three Thousand Burning Flames, and am one with them. To try and erase my consciousness is a gross overstatement!"

Three Thousand Burning Flames sneered disdainfully. Here, he could still use the power of the strange fire. He was just a Dou Zong. How strong could his soul power be? Could he withstand the burning of the strange fire?

At a time like this, he still claims he wants to erase his mind?

If it weren't for the dragon seal's power, he could have crushed this foolish human with a single finger.

However, his smile froze shortly after he finished speaking.

A blinding brilliance burst forth, and suddenly a vertical eye appeared in the space.

"Ray is coming!"

A thunderous roar erupted, and a vast power suddenly surged forth like a tidal wave!

"boom--!"

Five-colored lightning exploded in the mental space, and the dazzling electric light tore through the purple-black sea of ​​fire like an angry dragon, annihilating all the flames in its path!

The Three Thousand Blazing Flames' pupils constricted sharply, and its dragon body retreated violently: "Five-Colored Pill Lightning?! You actually managed to refine Pill Lightning into your soul?!"

Xiao Bai's soul suddenly froze, his lips twitched rapidly, and a string of complaints welled up in his chest, but he didn't know where to begin.

This is the first time someone has ever mistaken the Five Elements Thunder for the Five Colored Crimson Thunder.

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. "Since you think this is Dan Lei, then have a good taste of it!"

Five bolts of lightning erupted simultaneously, transforming into five ferocious thunder dragons that lunged at the Three Thousand Burning Flames from different directions.

"Heh. Mere Five-Colored Pill Lightning? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, and the purplish-black flames surged wildly, rushing towards the five lightning dragons in an overwhelming manner.

Xiao Bai remained calm. Individually, the five thunder dragons were indeed no match for the Three Thousand Burning Flames, but when they were combined, the five elements were one, and their power was a natural counter to the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Whether it's his fire attribute or his star attribute, both are highly beneficial to the five elements.

"This isn't Danlei!"

The Three Thousand Burning Flames finally realized something was wrong. Its dragon eyes widened in shock and doubt as it roared, "This is... the origin of the Five Elements?!"

Five thunder dragons, head to tail, formed a five-colored rotating halo around Xiao Bai. No matter how many purple-black flames surged past, the halo seemed like a bottomless pit, swallowing them all.

"It's too late to correct it now!"

Xiao Bai closed his eyes slightly. The five thunder dragons around him seemed to have been thirsting for a long time, continuously devouring the Three Thousand Burning Flames. He could feel the Five Elements growing stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the star field, Cao Ying looked at the man and the dragon facing off in the air with a strange silence.

"What are they doing?"

"It must be a clash of souls. I can feel that Young Master Xiao's soul power suddenly carries a tingling sensation, like thunder!"

A faint light flickered between Dan Chen's brows as she hesitated before speaking.

"A battle of souls?" Cao Ying's pretty face changed slightly. This kind of battle seemed calm, but it was even more dangerous.

If disturbed, it can backfire and have extremely serious consequences if not handled carefully.

"Song Qing, don't move!" Noticing the commotion beside her, Cao Ying's expression hardened, and she stared intently at him.

"Haha, Ying'er, what are you thinking? I'm just looking to see if there's any way to get out of the star field!" Seeing the two women's wary gazes, a dark glint flashed in Song Qing's eyes as he chuckled and said.

Right now, that guy is fighting to the death with the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which might be the perfect opportunity to subdue the strange flame, but these two women are actually stopping him.

Are we just going to watch the strange fire that the Pill Tower spent countless efforts to seal fall into the hands of an outsider?

"Why are you in such a hurry? The teacher must have already noticed the spatial changes in the star field. The fact that no one is coming in means that the space is unstable. If they can't do anything, what can you possibly do?"

"Also, from now on, call me Cao Ying, but don't call me that so affectionately, it makes me feel nauseous!"

Cao Ying glanced at him and said calmly.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Song Qing's face growing increasingly dark, Dan Chen covered her mouth and smiled.

"Um?"

"Spatial fluctuations?!" Cao Ying's beautiful eyes lit up, but her expression changed drastically.

Two figures in black robes slowly emerged from the spatial rift where the Three Thousand Burning Flames had been hidden, their bodies shrouded in a chilling black mist.

"Soul Palace?!"

Cao Ying and the others subconsciously took several steps back, their eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

The two men in black robes glanced at the group, their gazes finally settling on the Three Thousand Burning Flames in the distance, a glint of wild joy flashing in their eyes:

"Hehehe, I heard that the Pill Tower opened its star field, wanting people to subdue the strange flames. I originally just came to see if there was an opportunity, but I didn't expect that heaven would help me, and I have gained so much today."

"We're really lucky. I didn't expect a rift leading to this star field to appear right in front of us. Mu Gu, you're an alchemist, so I'll leave the Three Thousand Burning Flames to you!"

"Remember to be quick. The chaotic space is starting to calm down, and those three old guys from Danta will be here soon."

Another man in black robes spoke cautiously.

"Hehehe, don't worry! I've been eyeing this strange flame for a long time!"

A chilling laugh echoed through the star field as Elder Mu Gu spoke, his steps already heading towards the Three Thousand Blazing Flames.

Cao Ying's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Prepare for battle! Stop him!"

Dan Chen's slender fingers quickly formed hand seals, and the power of her soul surged forth from between her brows like a tide.

"Overestimating yourself!"

The black-robed figure standing in the void sneered, and with a flick of his sleeve, five jet-black chains shot out like venomous snakes.

As the group joined forces to fight the enemy, Mu Gu appeared in front of the Three Thousand Blazing Flames and Xiao Bai, looking at the man and the dragon with amusement. With his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see their current state.

"What a bountiful harvest! A strange flame, and a spirit soul!"

Hehehe

The old man, Mu Gu, gently stroked his chin with his withered fingers, his cold gaze sweeping back and forth between Xiao Bai and the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

"This is truly a stroke of luck!"

He suddenly raised his hand, and a jet-black chain shot straight at Xiao Bai's brow: "Boy, I'll take your soul!"

"stop!"

Cao Ying shouted sharply, and her longsword flew from her hand, only to be instantly knocked away by another chain.

"Don't rush, little girls, it'll be your turn soon."

Another man in black robes grinned sinisterly as five chains intertwined in the air, binding the three of them tightly.

At this critical moment—

"Buzz!"

A purple-gold light screen suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Bai. The black chains crashed into it and broke inch by inch, just like ice and snow melting away!

"What?!"

The old man's pupils constricted sharply, and he retreated rapidly.

Suddenly, the silver vertical line between Xiao Bai's eyebrows shone brightly, and a phantom figure emerged from it—it was another Xiao Bai!

"A soul clone?!"

"wrong."

Elder Mu Gu frowned, examined them closely for a moment, and then exclaimed in realization, "So it's the Three Thousand Thunder Illusions of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

The soul clone stood in mid-air, coldly watching Elder Mu Gu, never expecting that the people from the Soul Palace would actually enter the star field.

"Not bad, but what I want, you, a mere Dou Zong clone, can't stop me!"

Mu Gu let out a strange laugh, and a pitch-black chain, made of some unknown material, shot towards Xiao Bai's clone.

The clone dared not be careless. This chain was different from the previous one. At this moment, his soul body felt suppressed. He stretched out his arm and a golden light flew out from the sleeve of his main body, crashing fiercely into the chain.

"clang"

The ear-piercing sound, like metal clashing, echoed throughout the space.

"Ouch! Ouch! Who hit my head with a chain!" The little golden dragon instantly woke up, scratched its head with its claws, and was furious, looking around.

"Fighting...Fighting Lord! My lord, save me!"

Once it saw the direction the chains were retracting, the little golden dragon's eyes bulged, and it transformed into a golden light, running behind Xiao Bai, trembling.

"!" Xiao Bai.

He reached down and pulled it out from behind his neck, then said silently:

"What are you being so cowardly for? You're just a Dou Zun. Haven't you noticed something different about your body lately?"
