Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 320 Mu Gu, will you turn into the old man with the ring in the future?

Xiao Bai's voice exploded in the little golden dragon's mind like thunder. It was stunned for a moment, then closed its eyes and sensed its body.

"What is this?!"

A purple-gold mark within its body was emitting a faint glow, and an unfamiliar power was surging within it, resonating with its original aura like blood ties.

The little golden dragon stared wide-eyed at its claws in disbelief.

The once golden scales now shimmered with a purplish-gold light, and the fine dragon patterns were faintly visible beneath them.

"Golden Dragon."

Mu Gu stared at the little thing that had just blocked his Soul-Locking Chain. It seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere before. A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.

"Hmph! A little mudskipper dares to block my path? He's courting death!"

The old man's cold voice interrupted the little golden dragon's shock. The black chains attacked again, this time wrapped with strange black flames. Wherever they passed, even the space itself made a hissing sound as if it couldn't bear the weight.

The little golden dragon instinctively tried to dodge, but heard Xiao Bai snort softly, "Try out your new power."

At the critical moment, the little golden dragon gritted its teeth and swung its claws to meet the chains.

"boom--"

Purple-gold lightning burst forth from its claws, colliding violently with the black chains.

The expected excruciating pain did not come. Instead, the chains were swatted back by its claw, and the black flames were completely consumed by the lightning.

Upon seeing this, the little golden dragon was first stunned, then overjoyed.

"Hahaha! This dragon is that strong?!"

His body rapidly expanded amidst the lightning, transforming in the blink of an eye from the size of an arm into a majestic golden dragon a hundred feet long.

Its entire body was covered in purple-gold dragon scales, each one shimmering with lightning patterns.

"It's you."

Upon seeing this enormous creature, Mu Gu's gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Bai, and he finally remembered why the golden dragon seemed somewhat familiar.

Canaan College

Someone there said they had seen a huge golden dragon. At the time, he thought the people in that remote place were ignorant. Where in the world could there be a golden dragon? Even the supreme magical beast, the Ancient Dragon of the Void, was described as purple in the records.

In retrospect, it was not a misconception.

Moreover, the owner of the golden dragon seems to be the very person that Old Ghost Zhaixing is looking for!

萧白

Mu Gu's eyes flashed rapidly as he glanced at the Three Thousand Burning Flames and Xiao Bai's true form, who remained motionless not far away. After a moment's hesitation, as if he had made a decision, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

He wants the strange fire!

He wants the Burning Technique too!!

"Old man, you had a good time just now, didn't you?" The little golden dragon grinned, revealing its sharp teeth, its huge golden eyes eager to fight back.

"Now it's my turn!"

With a flick of its tail, thunderclouds instantly blanketed the entire star field.

A greedy smile crept onto Mu Gu's lips. Oh, and this golden dragon, whose origins were unknown, also piqued his interest.

"Stop fooling around and finish cleaning up!"

Xiao Bai's clone stood beside his main body, looking at the arrogant little golden dragon. He was speechless. The dragon seal was already dim and there was not much time left. He couldn't afford to waste it.

Although it is the Dragon Emperor's seal, it was not left by his original body. It is just a mark left by the large seal he left for Zi Yan. It is already a pleasant surprise that it can completely suppress the fully unsealed Three Thousand Burning Flames.

"Rest assured, my lord, I am now terrifyingly powerful!"

With a long roar, the little golden dragon transformed into a streak of purple-gold lightning and rushed straight towards Mu Gu.

So fast that it didn't even leave an afterimage, Mu Gu only had time to set up a black wall of fire in front of him before the dragon claw slammed into his chest.

"puff--"

Mu Gu spat out a mouthful of blood and his body flew hundreds of feet backward.

He had barely regained his footing when the little golden dragon caught up with him like a shadow, its tail sweeping across with immense thunder.

"Damn it!"

Mu Gu gritted his teeth, and his body was immediately enveloped in a layer of black mist.

The dragon's tail swept across the black mist, producing a metallic clang. After the black mist dissipated, Mu Gu had changed his appearance—his originally withered body had swelled up, and his skin was covered with strange black runes.

"Forcing me to use 'Soul Transformation,' you, you slippery eel, have every reason to be proud!"

Mu Gu's voice became hoarse and unpleasant. As he formed hand seals, nine pitch-black chains emerged from the void, each chain topped with a hideous skull.

The little golden dragon showed no fear and opened its mouth to spew out a beam of purple-gold light:

"Thunder Dragon's Breath!"

The beam of lightning collided with the chains, unleashing a blinding light.

The star field space trembled violently under the impact of this force, and Cao Ying and the other two who were watching from a distance had to retreat repeatedly.

Just then, another man in black robes suddenly appeared behind the little golden dragon, his five fingers forming claws as he aimed straight for the dragon's spine.

"Two against one and you still resort to sneak attacks? Shameless!"

The little golden dragon whipped its tail, forcing Mu Gu back, then turned and raised its thick claws, slamming them down hard on the man in black robes.

"Thump"

Golden lightning swept across the sky, colliding with the black mist, and the man in black robes was instantly sent flying backward.

Only then did everyone realize that the man in black robes was wearing a bronze demon mask, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Heh. A mere two-star Dou Zun dares to ambush me!"

As it spoke, golden lightning flashed across the massive dragon's body, instantly condensing into countless lightning orbs that intertwined in the air to form a vast net of lightning.

The black-robed venerable one snorted coldly, and with a wave of his sleeve, countless white bones emerged from the void, forming a huge bone shield.

The lightning net collided with the bone shield, and the resulting energy surge caused the entire star field to tremble.

While the two were fighting, Mu Gu headed straight for the Three Thousand Burning Flames, but was blocked by a thick golden lightning bolt.

"Old thing, don't interfere with my master! Your opponent is me, the dragon!" The little golden dragon flicked its tail and roared as it pounced on Mugu.

In an instant, lightning flashed and black mist churned throughout the star field.

Little Golden Dragon fought two opponents alone and held his own without being at a disadvantage.

Whenever its energy level drops, the dragon seal within its body will unleash even greater power.

The purple-gold light grew brighter and brighter, until finally each of its dragon scales shone like a small sun.

"impossible!"

Mu Gu grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. The dragon's aura fluctuated wildly. Just when he felt its power waning and was feeling pleased, it suddenly became even stronger in the blink of an eye.

"Why does this dragon seem to have inexhaustible power?"

Watching the battle from afar, Cao Ying's beautiful eyes gleamed with astonishment: "That golden dragon... it can actually fight against two Dou Zun at the same time!"

Looking at the two Xiao Bais over there, one with his eyes closed and the other watching the battle with his hands behind his back, a sense of curiosity arose in his heart: just how many trump cards did this mysterious guy have?

Song Qing's face turned pale and then red, his heart sank to the bottom, feeling both resentment and relief.

The battle intensified, and the little golden dragon grew stronger with each fight, even beginning to overpower the two elders of the Soul Hall.

It sometimes transformed into lightning, and sometimes spewed dragon breath, forcing Mu Gu and Gu You to retreat step by step.

"Damn it!" The black-clad Venerable suddenly retreated a hundred feet, his face beneath the bronze mask extremely grim. "Mu Gu, this kid is too troublesome, let's retreat!"

"The spatial fluctuations at the edge of the star field are gradually subsiding. Those three old guys must be doing their best to stabilize the star field. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Gu gritted his teeth inwardly, his eyes growing increasingly gloomy.

That damned mudskipper has been protecting the person and the fire on the other side so well that they haven't found any opportunity to cause any damage.

"Xiao Bai! How about we make a deal? Use the Three Thousand Burning Flames in exchange for me not attacking your Divine Firmament Alliance!"

Mu Gu's shout silenced the battlefield for a moment. The little golden dragon slowed its attack and watched the two warily.

Xiao Bai's clone's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice:

"Are you threatening me?"

Xiao Bai was not surprised that Mu Gu could recognize him. After learning about Mu Gu from Xiao Yan, he knew that this guy had been to Canaan Academy.

Given his reputation at Canaan Academy, investigating the Divine Firmament Alliance and Purple Firmament City behind him would be a piece of cake.

Seeing the change in Xiao Bai's clone's expression, Mu Gu assumed his plan had worked and chuckled sinisterly, "Hehehe, why don't we sit down and talk?"

"Heh." Xiao Bai's clone sneered, directly interrupting him.

"Sitting and talking is tiring; I think we should talk while lying down!"

"Talking while lying down."

Mu Gu frowned, and after a moment, he instantly understood. His face darkened, and a sharp killing intent rose in his heart.

"Don't let those two get away!"

Xiao Bai's gaze turned icy as he gave a stern command to the little golden dragon.

A Dou Zun powerhouse was not much of a threat to the Shenxiao Alliance at this time. Even Wu Ying and his group could not influence the decision of an elder in the Soul Palace.

No matter what, he cannot let Mu Gu leave today, otherwise he cannot afford the consequences.

"boom--!"

The little golden dragon sensed Xiao Bai's intense killing intent. Its eyes suddenly flashed with lightning, and its purple-gold scales stood up, emitting a metallic clang.

It roared to the sky, and a surge of dragon might suddenly erupted, shaking the entire star field.

"I admit that you, dragon, are very strong. If I weren't distracted by protecting you, things would be quite troublesome. But unfortunately, if the two of us wanted to leave, it couldn't stop us!"

Mu Gu felt the power of this aura and his heart grew heavy. He let out a sharp whistle and spat out a mouthful of blood from beneath his black robe.

The blood transformed into countless crimson runes in the air, instantly forming a strange array.

Upon seeing this, the other black-clad Venerable immediately understood, and he also bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which was then integrated into the formation.

"Blood Soul Escape!"

With a sharp shout, the space in front of him suddenly distorted.

"People of the Soul Palace, now that you're here, you're not leaving!"

Just then, an aged voice rang out in the void of the star field.

"Xuan Kongzi!"

Mu Gu's expression changed drastically, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. He screamed, "Impossible! How did you get here so fast!"

"Oh no, something seems wrong with the space!"

The black-clad venerable one beside him spoke anxiously. The space within the array kept distorting, but it remained distorted and did not open.

"It's you!!"

Mu Gu glanced at the formation, and a flash of inspiration struck him. He immediately looked up at the little golden dragon. The dragon's might on that wretched creature wasn't meant to intimidate them, but rather to secretly calm the spatial disorder.

"Hehe. My lord is wise!"

Sensing a powerful aura rushing towards it, the little golden dragon revealed a smug smile on its ferocious face.

Just now, Xiao Bai secretly transmitted his voice to him, using the last power of the Dragon Seal to influence the space. At first, it was puzzled. Once the power of the Dragon Seal dissipated, even if it successfully destroyed the two people's formation, it would still be no match for them.

But in hindsight, that decision was absolutely right.

A subtle ripple appeared in the void, and a figure slowly emerged.

Xuan Kongzi glanced around, and although he had many doubts in his heart, he looked at the two people from the Soul Palace with indifferent eyes, especially Mu Gu, which made his heart surge with killing intent.

"Traitor! He should be executed!"

A cold glint flashed across his aged face as he raised his arm and threw a punch.

The terrifying fist imprint pierced through the void, causing space to collapse along its path, and in the blink of an eye, it struck the two people from the Soul Palace.

"Pfft—"

A sound of bones breaking rang out, and Mu Gu and the black-robed Venerable simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, their bodies flying backward like kites with broken strings.

Xuan Kongzi's punch, though seemingly simple, contained the terrifying power of a peak Dou Zun, severely injuring both of them.

"Xuan Kongzi! If you dare to kill me, the Soul Palace will fight the Pill Tower to the death!" Mu Gu struggled to his feet and roared with a ferocious expression.

Xuan Kongzi sneered, "You infiltrated my Pill Tower Starfield with the intention of seizing the Strange Flame. What if I kill you?"

After saying that, his eyes sharpened, and with a flick of his sleeve, a dazzling streak of light swept out.

A hint of fear flashed in Mu Gu's eyes, and his face turned deathly pale. He glanced at each other, hardened his heart, and his body began to swell rapidly, as if countless insects were wriggling under his skin.

"Self-destruction?"

Xuan Kongzi's expression changed slightly. He reached out and grabbed Cao Ying and the other two. Then, he took a step forward and landed in front of Xiao Bai.

"boom!"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the entire star field trembled violently, and a violent energy shockwave swept in all directions.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the black-robed venerable one had vanished without a trace, leaving only a huge spatial rift that was slowly healing.

Mu Gu also disappeared without a trace, seemingly completely annihilated by the explosion.

Xuan Kongzi's soul power swept across the entire star field, and suddenly his brows furrowed:

"Mu Gu's remnant soul has escaped!"

Xiao Bai frowned upon hearing this and immediately looked towards the void of the star field. Unfortunately, he was only a soul clone at the moment and could not mobilize the silver vertical stripes of his main body, so he found nothing.

"Don't worry, he's just a remnant soul now, trapped in the spatial turbulence. Even if he survives by chance, he won't be able to cause any trouble in the future!"

Seeing the worry in Xiao Bai's eyes, Xuan Kongzi shook his head slightly, clearly not caring much about Mu Gu's remnant soul.

"!" Xiao Bai.

Mu Gu, will you turn into an old man with a ring in the future?

Xuan Kongzi underestimated his opponent; a story of a remnant soul rising to power is unfolding!

However, he has no choice now. Even his true form wouldn't dare to easily enter the void turbulence, let alone his clone.

Xuan Kongzi glanced at the Three Thousand Burning Flames behind him, which were completely unresponsive to the outside world, his heart filled with complex emotions. He then gave Xiao Bai a deep look and suddenly laughed:

"Judging from your appearance, you should have no problem engaging in a soul-to-soul battle with this guy, right?"

A battle between souls is incredibly dangerous; this little guy is really brave.

While dealing with the Three Thousand Burning Flames, he still had the energy to use his soul clone to entangle with the two Venerables of the Soul Palace. It seems that those old guys underestimated him.

"No problem, it's just that the refining process will take some time, so we can't go out yet!"

Xiao Bai shrugged, appearing completely unfazed.

"It's alright."

Xuan Kongzi stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes filled with appreciation. "The Star Domain was originally set up to seal away strange flames. You may refine them here as you wish. I will seal this place again after I leave, so don't worry!"

Then he turned to Cao Ying and the other two: "You all come out with me first, and don't disturb Xiao Bai's refining of the strange fire."
