Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 361 The majesty of a semi-saint cannot be insulted!

Xiao Bai's gaze turned slightly serious as he stared intently at the warship, sensing a very familiar aura emanating from it.

It was that old phoenix from Luoshenjian who made the move!

Suddenly, space on the warship's deck distorted, and a hunched figure slowly emerged.

It was an old man dressed in a crimson robe, with a head of snow-white hair and a withered face, but his eyes were like two blazing suns, radiating a terrifying light.

"Phoenix Nine Netherworlds!"

The old doctor exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"Brother Yao, do you know this person?" Yao Tianhuo asked in surprise.

"I had a brief encounter with him when I traveled through the Beast Realm years ago."

The old man nodded, his voice hoarse, "This old fellow was an eighth-level Dou Zun back then, I never imagined he'd reach the Half-Saint realm in the blink of an eye!"

The old man slowly raised his head, looked at Yao Chen, and grinned:

"Who is this Holy Daoist? So it's the 'Medicine Venerable' who was once famous throughout the continent. But seeing him in this state now makes this old man feel quite relieved!"

The words "venerable one" were emphasized, and no matter how you listened to them, they sounded like gritted teeth.

"Heh. Just a defeated opponent."

The old apothecary wasn't intimidated; he wouldn't back down even if he lost the fight. He gave a cold laugh, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"If you hadn't run so fast back then, you would have become an ingredient in my alchemy furnace long ago!"

After he finished speaking, there was complete silence.

All eyes were on Huang Jiuyou, especially the members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, who had never expected that their Elder Jiuyou had such a past.

Xiao Bai's eyes flickered slightly, but suddenly a voice transmission sounded in his ear, the tone urgent:

"Kid, can you still use that same skill from last time? If not, you'd better find a way to run away!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

I thought the old man would rather die than submit!

"you"

Sensing the strange gazes around him, Huang Jiuyou's old face twitched slightly, his expression darkened, and his withered hands clenched tightly, causing the surrounding space to distort and deform.

"Yao Chen, wait until I deal with this brat, then let's see if your mouth is still as stubborn as it is now."

After speaking, his gaze sharpened and he stared directly at Xiao Bai.

"Young man, you're very good!"

Huang Jiuyou's voice was hoarse, "I have always admired you, but unfortunately, you have chosen the wrong path and should not have become an enemy of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Bai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he retreated a thousand feet without hesitation.

"boom!"

The space where he had been standing collapsed instantly, and a giant claw burning with crimson flames appeared out of thin air, burning that void into nothingness.

"That was a pretty quick reaction."

Huang Jiuyou nodded slightly, "However, in the face of absolute power, everything is in vain."

He slowly raised his withered hand and gently clenched it.

In an instant, the entire sky burst into flames, and countless crimson fire feathers rained down from the heavens, each containing the terrifying power to incinerate mountains and boil seas.

"You old geezer, you really think you can get your hands on me?"

Xiao Bai sneered, dispelled the Two Elements Thunder God Body, then took a deep breath, feeling the scorching temperature around him, and formed a hand seal.

Within his dantian, a drop of purplish-gold blood, suspended above it, began to tremble continuously, emanating a faint but palpable pressure.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a ray of purple-gold light surging within them. He stepped into the void, and his aura began to surge.

"Last time I made you retract your claws, and I can do it again this time!"

"This ignorant brat, whose cultivation was merely boosted by external objects, actually thinks it's his own?"

Huang Jiuyou gave a cold smile.

"If we hadn't been on the battlefield last time and could only attack through a spatial portal, do you think you'd be alive today? Today, I'll show you what a half-saint truly is!"

"Heh, so what if it's something external?"

Xiao Bai smiled coldly, raising his spear and pointing it directly at Huang Jiuyou, his gaze arrogant:

"You're only strong because you've cultivated for a few more years. If we were to fight someone of the same cultivation level, I could kill you like a chicken!"

"Arrogant!"

Huang Jiuyou laughed in extreme anger, and flames surged around her. These were flames condensed from the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix inherited by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. For this clan, the flames generated by this bloodline were no less important than strange fires.

Because different kinds of fire are rare, and this kind of Heavenly Phoenix Flame can be formed as long as one has bloodline, the higher the bloodline concentration, the greater the power.

Huang Jiuyou was able to cultivate to the level of a half-saint, and at this point, her flames were no weaker than some of the lower-ranked strange flames.

"Today I'll show you that the majesty of a demigod cannot be insulted!"

He formed a hand seal, and a thousand-foot-tall phantom of a celestial phoenix appeared behind him, its terrifying pressure causing the entire space to tremble.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Burns the World!"

The phantom roared to the sky, spewing out towering waves of fire. Wherever the flames passed, even space itself was burned and distorted, revealing a pitch-black void that instantly engulfed Xiao Bai.

"Xiao Bai!"

Cai Lin, who had just led her people out of the spatial passage, immediately saw this scene. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her pretty face turned pale instantly. She didn't care at all about the heat wave that stung her skin and instinctively rushed over.

"Don't come any closer!" Xiao Bai's deep voice came from within the sea of ​​fire. "I'm alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of purple-gold light pierced through the sea of ​​fire.

Xiao Bai was enveloped in purple-gold light, which even stained the lightning around him with purple-gold color. Behind him, a faint purple-gold dragon phantom appeared!

A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the Fenglei Mountains, its vast and ancient power overwhelming the entire area.

"This is... the Alliance Leader?!"

Behind Cai Lin, a group of Dou Zong from the Divine Firmament Alliance felt the two unprecedentedly powerful pressures in the air, as well as the sea of ​​fire that dyed the sky red. Their legs almost gave way and they collapsed to the ground.

They exchanged a blank look. Was this the enemy Her Majesty the Queen had sent them to deal with?

Before entering the wormhole, they were eager to show off their skills in Zhongzhou, but as soon as they arrived, reality gave them a rude awakening.

Is this Zhongzhou?

Damn, this is dangerous! Is it too late to go back to the Divine Firmament Alliance now?

Seeing that Xiao Bai was unharmed, Yao Tianhuo breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of the Shenxiao Alliance members, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

These people are so ignorant; they should learn from him and remain completely calm!

With a wave of his hand, he lifted everyone up and landed them in a safe area to the side.

Cai Lin's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Bai, her narrow, beautiful eyes filled with an unprecedented worry.

The resentment she felt for his absence for three years now transformed into a profound sense of guilt.

Is this the enemy he faced in Zhongzhou?

She didn't know what kind of powerful expert was opposite her, but she could feel that this immense pressure was far stronger than the Heavenly Flame of a Dou Zun.

"This is... the oppressive aura of royalty?!"

Xia Sha, standing in the distance, stared wide-eyed at the enormous dragon-shaped phantom behind Xiao Bai. He felt his bloodline trembling and about to submit to it. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still horrified.

No wonder the Dragon King was searching for this person. If he could obtain the royal blood essence in him and refine it, his royal bloodline would definitely advance even further.

"What a fucking waste."

Seeing that Xiao Bai had actually used royal blood essence to temporarily boost his strength, Xia Sha cursed and swirled with jealousy.

If he were given pure blood, he could definitely break through to the ninth rank very quickly!

But sensing Xiao Bai's imposing aura, the restless impulse in his heart vanished instantly; he couldn't afford to offend him!

Putting aside strength, just look at the bloodline aura on his body right now. Even from this distance, it has such a suppressive force on him. If he were to get closer, it would probably suppress him to the point of being unable to move.

"You scruffy bird, are you trying to tickle me with your fire?"

At this moment, Xiao Bai was like a blazing purple-gold sun, walking through the crimson sea of ​​fire in the void. The flames that could easily incinerate a Dou Zun retreated when they touched the purple-gold light on his body.

Huang Jiuyou's expression also changed slightly. Xiao Bai, who used his essence blood today, was even more powerful than he was in Luoshen Gorge.

"Hmph, they're just showing off their power because they have the blood of the dragon race!"

Huang Jiuyou snorted coldly, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"Even if you possess the essence of the ancient dragon royal family, I will still grind you to dust!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and the phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix behind him abruptly shrank, transforming into a crimson battle armor that covered his entire body. Every feather on the armor was burning with raging flames, emitting a chilling aura.

"Celestial Phoenix Battle Body!"

With a roar, Huang Jiuyou's figure swelled to three zhang, his withered body instantly becoming robust and powerful, and his white hair turned crimson, making him look like a god of war in flames.

"You brat, prepare to die!"

He took a step forward, causing space to shatter, and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Bai, his fist burning with flames slamming down.

"Well done!"

Xiao Bai's eyes shone with a brilliant purple-gold light. He raised his hand and pulled upwards, and the huge Tai Chi diagram above his head instantly transformed into a golden-black lightning spear, which met the attack head-on without backing down.

"boom!"

Fist and spear collided, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that shattered the surrounding space within a thousand feet like glass. The mountain range below was also struck by the aftershocks, with dozens of peaks instantly reduced to dust.

"puff!"

Xiao Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward, but the fighting spirit in his eyes intensified. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly:

"Didn't you say a demigod cannot be insulted? Is that all you've got? Come on, try again!"

"court death!"

Huang Jiuyou's face darkened; he hadn't expected Xiao Bai to survive a punch he'd taken. He moved again, transforming into a streak of crimson light as he gave chase.

The two clashed fiercely high in the sky, each collision causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Purple-gold light and crimson flames intertwined, painting the entire sky both magnificent and terrifying.

"The Alliance Leader... no, the Palace Master... he can actually contend with a Half-Saint?"

The members of the Divine Firmament Alliance were dumbfounded. They learned about the enemy's cultivation level from Yaotianhuo, and their initial fear was gradually replaced by shock.

They never imagined that their leader was this powerful.

Cai Lin's tightly clenched fingers turned slightly white, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. She suddenly turned to Yao Tianhuo and said in a deep voice:

"Senior, is there any way to help him?"

Yao Tianhu shook his head with a wry smile: "We can't get involved in a battle at this level. Getting close rashly will only make us a burden."

Just then, Xia Sha, who was watching the battle from the other side, had a sinister glint in his eyes.

He led his group of black-armored warriors and quietly retreated, disappearing into the void, intending to escape amidst the chaos.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

A huge palm suddenly appeared from the void and slapped directly at Xia Sha's crown.

"Black Engine!!!"

Xia Sha's expression changed drastically. Sensing the familiar aura from that thick palm, his eyes widened in fury. He roared and hastily raised his arm to defend himself.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Xia Sha was sent flying hundreds of feet by the slap, spitting out blood.

In the void, a burly man stepped out, exuding a fierce dragon aura. He was none other than Hei Qing from Donglong Island!

"Traitor! How dare you from Xilong Island cause trouble for Brother Xiao?"

Hei Qing sneered, his gaze like lightning, locking onto Xia Sha and preventing him from escaping into the void.

Xia Sha steadied himself, his face extremely grim: "Hei Qing, so you from Donglong Island really know him?!"

"Ha, so what if you know me? Today, you can't escape!"

Before Hei Qing could finish speaking, his figure vanished abruptly and appeared in front of Xia Sha in the next moment, throwing a punch that shattered the space inch by inch!

Xia Sha gritted his teeth and was forced to fight. The two strong men fought fiercely in the sky, their dragon roars shaking the heavens and their oppressive aura sweeping across the four directions.

Meanwhile, the battle between Xiao Bai and Huang Jiuyou intensified.

"boom!"

After another hard clash, Xiao Bai was forced back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

Huang Jiuyou's face was slightly pale, clearly he was also feeling unwell after going head-to-head with Xiao Bai, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes when he saw the people from Donglong Island appear.

"Your physique is too weak to withstand the immense power of your vital essence. You won't last long. Surrender!"

He remained calm on the surface, and the flames on his Phoenix Armor even intensified. He was not prepared to retreat immediately and intended to defeat Xiao Bai in one fell swoop.

Either kill or capture.

This person is exceptionally talented and poses a great threat. If we don't deal with him this time, he will likely cause even more trouble in the future.

"Yeah?"

Xiao Bai sneered, sensing the abnormal changes in his body. Beneath his calm and indifferent eyes, a hint of something unpleasant lurked.

I never expected that using my essence and blood would cause such a side effect!

But there's no point in thinking about it now. He glanced at the Black Spirit fighting in the distance. Now that he's here, Zi Yan must be arriving soon.

With a flick of his sleeve, the little golden dragon leaped out.

"Go, deal with all the remaining Black Armored Ancient Dragons and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan together!" A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.

"Yes, sir!"

The little golden dragon excitedly flicked its tail, let out a long roar, and impatiently transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and disappeared.

The dragon soul of the Ancient Dragon of the Void is quite good, greatly increasing the spirituality within its soul. It's just unknown whether the soul of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will have any effect.

After it fused with that dragon seal last time, it has been dormant until now, and its strength has reached the Dou Zun realm. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to fight two people with Xiao Bai before.

At this point, dealing with some Dou Zong and early-stage Dou Zun would not be difficult, especially with Xiao Yi Xian Yao Tian Huo and the others by her side.

"You dare!"

Huang Jiuyou glared angrily, extending a withered claw to grab the golden lightning bolt back, but it was blocked by a long, black and gold spear.

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Xiao Bai flicked his spear, causing thunder to explode in the void, deflecting Huang Jiuyou's claws. He said calmly:

"Since you dare to step into my Wind and Thunder Mountain Range, you should be prepared not to return."

"Haha. Palace Master Xiao is right, Huang Jiuyou, now that you're here, don't go back!"

A loud laugh echoed in the void, instantly causing Huang Jiuyou's eyes to narrow and her face to darken completely. She uttered two words through gritted teeth:

"Zhu Li!!"

He originally thought that only Hei Qing had come from Donglong Island, and even if he discovered the situation here and sent back information, it would still take some time for the people from Donglong Island to arrive.

Given that much time, Xiao Bai definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on, but unexpectedly...

The people from Donglong Island arrived so quickly!
