Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 322 Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder

"it's over."

Xiao Bai's eyes shone with a brilliant five-colored light, and he suddenly clasped his hands together, the five-colored light spinning continuously.

The power of the five elements was inexhaustible, and in no time, it compressed the massive dragon body of the Three Thousand Burning Flames into a purplish-black flame core.

"No--!"

The Three Thousand Burning Flames let out a final, unwilling roar, and amidst its wailing, gradually transformed into a pure source of strange fire.

Xiao Bai let out a long sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, the purplish-black flames slowly drifted into his palm, as docile as a pet.

"Finally done..."

He looked down at the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, a smile playing on his lips.

"Click. Click"

Just then, a continuous series of shattering sounds suddenly rang out in the mental space.

This space existed because of the intelligence of the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Now that the intelligence has dissipated, the space has begun to collapse.

Countless fragments of soul, like shattered glass, fell continuously, then transformed into specks of starlight. Some went out like candle flames, while others converged towards the flame in his hand.

Xiao Bai stared blankly for a moment.

"Interesting. Life, death, and reincarnation—are they accumulating energy for the next birth of sentience?"

As it murmured, the soul began to fade into the void, eventually disappearing into the collapsing mental space.

In the star field,

The clone silently watched as the colossal object opposite the main body shattered with a deafening roar, instantly transforming into raging flames that filled the entire star field.

Although the flames surged even more fiercely, the intense heat suddenly decreased significantly.

The clone immediately understood that the source of the strange fire had fallen into the hands of the main body. These flames were now like rootless duckweed, like a tree without roots. No matter how lush they appeared, it was only a temporary sight.

With a slight movement of his eyes, his figure instantly transformed into a streak of lightning and disappeared into the space between his eyebrows.

It's blinding, extremely blinding.

Scorching hot, extremely hot.

The moment the clone appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, he suddenly felt as if a sun was floating in the sky not far away, radiating endless golden light.

The deafening thunder was majestic, sacred, and vast.

Like a grand and majestic bell, it awes the heart.

"This is... a new type of lightning?!"

"Indeed, its name is the Thunder God of Slaying Evil!"

Xiao Bai's figure suddenly appeared beside the clone, his gaze fixed on the blazing 'sun'.

The Divine Thunder that Slays Evil: It carries its own karmic fire, scorching hot and boundless, the most intense and yang thunder in the world, destroying demons and monsters, and subduing evil spirits and demons.

Upon receiving the information in his mind, Xiao Bai instantly thought of Bing Fire Yang Thunder, both of which are combinations of thunder and fire, extremely strong and extremely Yang.

However, the Demon-Slaying Thunder comes with special effects, making it even more lethal to evil spirits.

Speaking of demons, Xiao Bai instantly thought of the Demon Emperor of the Tianxuan Continent next door, and the extraterrestrial evil races of the Great Thousand World above.

As for the Dou Qi Continent, the only one that can be considered somewhat evil is probably the Soul Palace.

Compared to the extraterrestrial evil race, the Soul Palace is simply insignificant.

Hmm. Thinking about it this way, the Soul Emperor doesn't seem so scary anymore!

His greatest wish was simply to become an emperor. Compared to the extraterrestrial evil races that attempted to devour the origin of the plane and rule the entire universe, the Soul Emperor could be called merciful.

Xiao Bai pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at his clone.

"How long did I stay in the Three Thousand Burning Flames spiritual space?"

That spiritual space belonged to the Three Thousand Burning Flames, and the soul connection between him and his clone was also hindered, so he could not perceive exactly how much time had passed.

"It's been about half a year!"

"Half a year!"

Xiao Bai nodded, his gaze lowered slightly, looking at his dantian.

In the center of his dantian, a wisp of purplish-black flame flickered, while below, five-colored light intertwined and swirled.

Xiao Bai sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, focusing intently on sensing the fusion of the purplish-black flame and the power of the five elements within his dantian.

With each rotation of the five-colored light, the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flames weakened by one point, while his perception of the power of the stars became clearer and clearer.

"This feeling."

Xiao Bai's heart stirred slightly, and his soul seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, instantly breaking through the constraints of his body.

The scene before him suddenly changed, and he found himself suspended in a vast and boundless starry sky.

All around, countless stars shone brightly, some bright and some dim, gleaming with a mysterious light.

In this sea of ​​stars, five stars, each emitting a different color of light—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—stand out prominently. They echo each other, forming a wondrous connection.

"The Five Planets and Spheres."

Xiao Bai murmured to himself, a strange sense of closeness welling up from the depths of his soul.

He immediately understood that the combination of the star-like sensitivity of the Three Thousand Burning Flames and the origin of the Five Elements was what gave him a special connection with the Five Elements and their stars.

Further away, two enormous stars emanated completely different auras—

One burns fiercely, radiating boundless light; the other is as cool as water, profound and tranquil.

"The Sun and the Moon."

Xiao Bai tried to sense the two enormous stars.

He had a vague feeling for the Sun, as if separated by a thin veil; but he felt no connection whatsoever to the Moon.

Xiao Bai fell into deep thought. "The five planets are clearly sensed, the Sun is next, and the Moon is barely perceptible."

"The reason for the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder... If it's true, then after refining it, the Sun Star's perception should be the same as that of the five planets!"

Just as he was pondering, his soul suddenly trembled, and the starry sky before him shattered like a bubble.

Xiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still sitting cross-legged in the star field, but his dantian had undergone earth-shattering changes.

In the center of the dantian, the originally rotating five-colored light gradually merged, the colors became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a state of chaos.

In this chaos, the phantom of a Tai Chi diagram slowly emerged, its black and white colors intertwining and rotating, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable aura.

"They've finally reappeared!"

"The five elements return to one, transforming into Yin and Yang."

As Xiao Bai observed the changes within his dantian, even though it was the second time he had witnessed such a transformation, his heart remained unsettled.

Just then, the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder, which had been quietly suspended in the sea of ​​consciousness, seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

The intense golden lightning suddenly became agitated, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning that shot straight out of the sea of ​​consciousness and headed directly for the dantian.

The Demon-Slaying Thunder, like a dragon, burrowed into the dantian, heading straight for the yang pole of the illusory Taiji diagram.

When the golden lightning struck the white area, the entire Tai Chi diagram trembled violently, and the anode part instantly shone with golden light, unleashing a terrifying energy of extreme strength and yang.

"uh-huh--"

Xiao Bai let out a painful groan, feeling as if his meridians were being scorched by fire.

In the Tai Chi diagram, the energy at the yang pole surges, while the yin pole remains empty, resulting in a severe imbalance between yin and yang.

In the black and white yin-yang symbol, the white part was bathed in golden light, radiating a dazzling glow and constantly pressing down on the black part.

In no time, the golden light had occupied most of the Tai Chi diagram, while the side containing extreme Yin had been squeezed down to just a trace.

Golden lightning raged within Xiao Bai's dantian, causing his skin to turn red and fine beads of blood to seep from his pores.

"The yin is empty. We must find a balance, even if it's just a temporary one!" Xiao Bai's forehead veins bulged, and the sweat that had just seeped out was evaporated by the high temperature on his body.

"Taiyin. Taiyin"

In that critical moment, Xiao Bai suddenly recalled the large star that stood opposite the Sun in the starry sky that had seemed like a hallucination.

He hurriedly closed his eyes, his soul searching for that feeling, stretching towards the starry sky above him, trying to establish a connection.

"Hurry up!"

In the Tai Chi diagram, the positive energy continuously devoured the negative energy, becoming increasingly violent, and he felt that the pressure his body could withstand was approaching its limit.

At that moment, following that mysterious connection with the stars, Xiao Bai instantly sensed the stellar power descending from many stars in the sky.

Finally, he clearly sensed the presence of the Taiyin Star from an extremely yin radiance, and at this moment, that cold star also seemed to sense the yin and yang power within Xiao Bai's body.

In the starry sky, the cool, clear moon suddenly flickered slightly, and a silvery-white beam of light traversed the endless starry sky, falling straight down and entering the physical body.

"This is the primordial power of the Moon!"

Xiao Bai was both surprised and delighted, feeling an extremely cool energy surge into his soul.

Suddenly, a surge of intense heat came over him, freezing the smile on his lips instantly.

"Don't come any closer!"

The soul force seemed to see a ray of golden light shooting straight towards that incomparably hot and enormous star.

Xiao Bai hurriedly withdrew his soul and severed the connection.

Thanks for the invitation, but let's not make an appointment. I'm afraid the Taiyin side might misunderstand!

His soul force was moving very fast. Without the special sensation, the golden light seemed to be unable to find its target. It stopped abruptly, looked around blankly, and then gradually dissipated into the starry sky.

In the star field, the negative part of the Tai Chi diagram in Xiao Bai's dantian suddenly lit up with a silvery-white light, forming a sharp contrast with the golden light of the positive anode.

Xiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting two completely different beams of light—

His left eye was a deep, golden red, like the sun; his right eye was silvery white, like the moon.

A bolt of lightning shot out from his left eye, while his right eye only emitted a silver glow without any lightning.

The power of Yin and the evil-slaying divine thunder churned within his body, plunging him into an agonizing state of extreme heat and cold.

"This tastes so refreshing!"

Xiao Bai gritted his teeth, his soul working frantically, trying to guide these two completely opposite energies.

Inside the dantian, the Tai Chi diagram trembled violently, with the golden light of the yang part and the silver light of the yin part clashing wildly, as if trying to tear the entire dantian apart.

"boom--!"

With a muffled thud, Xiao Bai's skin cracked inch by inch. Before the blood could seep out, it evaporated into a blood mist and was then frozen into ice crystals by the extreme cold, which fell down in a rustling sound.

"No... If this continues, my physical body will collapse before I even refine it!"

Despite the excruciating pain, he suddenly formed a hand seal.

"The Thunder of Eternal Reincarnation, appear!"

He still remembers the vague description of the Eternal Reincarnation Thunder.

The Thunder of Eternal Reincarnation: Reincarnation? Life and death? Time and space? It draws upon the transformations of the Five Elements and the tribulations of Yin and Yang.

Transforming the calamity of Yin and Yang.

I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it all!

"Boom!"

Within his dantian, a dark red lightning bolt suddenly appeared, resembling a swimming dragon, instantly coiling around the Tai Chi diagram.

Wherever the lightning of eternal reincarnation passes, the golden light of the yang pole and the silver light of the yin pole appear as if they were tamed wild beasts.

The yin and yang poles began to rotate slowly, merging with each other. The violent energy gradually stabilized, no longer clashing, but flowing slowly along the trajectory of the lightning.

"As expected... the Thunder of Eternal Reincarnation, transforming Yin and Yang into a calamity!"

With a sense of relief, Xiao Bai frantically activated his soul power, guiding the Myriad Tribulations Reincarnation Lightning to roam within the Taiji diagram, completely stabilizing the Yin and Yang poles.

The Tai Chi symbol slowly rotated, with the yang pole radiating intense golden light and the yin pole emitting a cool silver glow. The two no longer clashed, but instead, under the harmonization of the eternal cycle of thunder, formed a temporary and delicate balance.

"When Yin and Yang are in balance, Tai Chi is formed!"

Xiao Bai let out a long sigh of relief, and the burning sensation on his body quickly subsided, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of comfort.

The Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated in the center of the dantian. At the yang point, the Demon-Slaying Thunder transformed into a small golden sun, while at the yin point, it was a silvery-white crescent moon.

As the Tai Chi diagram rotated, the fighting spirit within Xiao Bai's body began to change.

The originally colorful thunderous battle aura gradually transformed into gold and silver, with each wisp of thunderous battle aura containing the profound mystery of the interplay of yin and yang.

"My cultivation level."

Xiao Bai was surprised to find that the cracks on his body surface began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood mist and ice crystals on his skin also fell off one by one. At the same time, his cultivation level was also rapidly improving.

Five-Star Dou Zong

Six-Star Dou Zong

"Stop, stop..."

Just as his cultivation reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm and he was preparing to break through to Dou Zun, Xiao Bai's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly did his best to suppress the feedback coming from his dantian.

Looking at the beads of blood seeping from his body, Xiao Bai was shocked and couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

He originally thought that the Tai Chi diagram had achieved balance and could naturally transform into Yin and Yang, but as his cultivation level rapidly increased, he instantly felt a sense of imbalance again, and the feeling of physical collapse once again enveloped his heart.

After scanning the Tai Chi diagram in his dantian with his soul power for a moment, Xiao Bai instantly understood what was going on.

"With the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder guarding the Yang pole, it's like a flowing river, while the Yin pole's Yin power is merely the stellar energy from the fallen Taiyin star, like a rootless duckweed. As the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder rapidly grows stronger with its increased cultivation, the Yin and Yang become unbalanced once again, and even the Myriad Tribulations Reincarnation Thunder cannot stop it!"

Xiao Bai's expression was somewhat grim. He already had a guess about the attribute of the next lightning seed, and he was certain that it would solve his current problem of yin-yang imbalance.

But now he is caught in a dilemma, with two choices before him.

Firstly, to be on the safe side, let's maintain this fragile balance for now and figure out a solution later.

Secondly, risking the collapse of one's physical body, one can advance to the Dou Zun realm at all costs. When the new Thunder Seed appears, the problems within the body will naturally be resolved.

Two lights flickered alternately in his eyes as he weighed the options in his mind.

After a long pause, Xiao Bai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and ultimately chose the safer option.

There was no other way; there were two things he wasn't sure about, so he didn't dare to rashly choose the second option.

First, he was unsure whether his physical body could sustain him until he advanced to the Dou Zun level.

Secondly, he was unsure whether the energy from his dantian could propel him to the Dou Zun realm.

If not, he will truly have no way out.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the golden and silver light in his pupils gradually subsided.

"Um?"

As Xiao Bai was feeling the surging, powerful energy within his body, he suddenly felt a tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness. Then, a vast spiritual force emerged from between his eyebrows, causing the surrounding space to distort continuously.

"It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly!"

Xiao Bai was speechless. His soaring battle qi cultivation also caused his soul power to directly enter the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm.

A powerful suction force instantly erupted from the vertical eye between the eyebrows.
