Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 472 People with the surname Xiao are all perverts!

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, time seems to stand still, with only eternal gloom and deathly silence as the main theme.

On the desolate and boundless land, two figures walked slowly side by side, forming a stark contrast with the aimless wandering energy entities around them.

On the left is a person dressed in light blue clothes, whose brows and eyes carry the vicissitudes and wisdom accumulated over the years. Even though he is only a soul, he cannot hide the demeanor of someone who once looked down on the world.

The person on the right wore a deep purple Taoist robe, with mysterious lightning patterns flowing across it, silently radiating a chilling aura. His snow-white hair contrasted strangely with his youthful face, adding to his otherworldly and mysterious air.

The two walked leisurely across this ancient land. Xiao Bai recounted the major events that had occurred in the outside world, especially the fierce conflict with the Soul Clan in the Desolate Ancient Domain, the severe injury to the Void Devouring Flame, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree's eventual decision to settle in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Xiao Xuan listened quietly, his gaze shifting between sharpness and感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex mix of emotions, including wistfulness and reflection), ultimately settling into a state of bewilderment and complexity. He sighed softly, "I didn't expect the outside world to be so 'lively' these days."

His words carried a hint of reminiscence for the glorious past, as well as a faint sense of melancholy at the changes in circumstances.

After a long while, he finally pulled himself together and turned his gaze back to Xiao Bai beside him. He carefully sensed him for a moment, and his face returned to its gentle, spring-like smile, but this smile now held a hint of astonishment: "A two-star Dou Sheng, a soul at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm—it seems you've come fully prepared to take action against that guy?"

"good."

Xiao Bai didn't hide anything, smiled slightly, and revealed his considerations: "The power of the Life and Death Purple Lightning is vast. Even if I don't incorporate it into my body to activate it, and only use my Great Perfection Heaven Realm soul power to control it, I always feel somewhat sluggish and unable to unleash its true power. The consumption is also enormous. So I thought that if my soul power could break through to the Emperor Realm, then activating the Life and Death Purple Lightning might be much easier and smoother, and I could also unleash a stronger power."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's gaze involuntarily fell upon the purple Daoist robe once more. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes as he nodded in agreement, saying, "Your idea is quite correct. The purple lightning on your body is the most ferocious and terrifying I have ever seen in my life, perhaps even slightly inferior to the Void Devouring Flame. Fortunately, it has recognized you as its master and is under your control. However, with your current strength, it is indeed like a child wielding a giant hammer, possessing a treasure mountain but unable to fully utilize it. Once your soul power breaks through to the Emperor Realm, your control will undergo a qualitative change, which may truly allow you to unleash greater power."

As the two talked, they unknowingly traversed the vast area of ​​the second level of the Heavenly Tomb and arrived near the entrance to the third level.

The energy entities roaming here have a significantly stronger aura than those in the outer layer, with most starting at the peak of the Dou Zun level, and some even at the Half-Saint level.

However, these "strongmen" who were powerful enough to dominate a region in the outside world, the moment they saw Xiao Xuan, they trembled like rats that had seen their natural enemy. They wanted to scatter and run away, but their legs felt weak and they could only stand there, shivering.

Xiao Bai watched this scene and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Just then, "Whoosh!"

A streak of blood-red light flashed from afar like lightning, moving at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it landed not far in front of Xiao Xuan and Xiao Bai. The light subsided, transforming into the figure of a middle-aged man wearing blood-red armor with a cold and stern face.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately bowed respectfully to Xiao Xuan, his voice booming, "Blood Blade greets Lord Xiao Xuan!"

Xiao Xuan glanced at him indifferently, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

However, this simple nod caused an uncontrollable surge of excitement and agitation to flash in the eyes of the energy being known as the Blood Blade Saint!

Looking across the entire Heavenly Tomb, even those powerful energy beings with strength reaching the level of five or six-star Dou Sheng might not be able to get a second glance from Lord Xiao Xuan, but he, a half-saint, received a response today!

This is undoubtedly a great honor!

Suppressing his excitement, Blood Blade Saint raised his head and turned his gaze to Xiao Bai, who was standing next to Xiao Xuan. He put on a smile and was about to greet this "little troublemaker" who had caused quite a stir last time he came, and try to get closer to him.

However, when he sensed the unfathomable aura emanating from Xiao Bai, his smile froze instantly, and his heart trembled violently!

Good guy!

This kid—wasn't he just a five-star Dou Zun when he came last time?

How long has it been?!

Although he could no longer discern Xiao Bai's exact cultivation level, the extreme sense of danger emanating from the depths of his soul clearly told him—

The young man before us is probably already at an unbelievable level of strength!

The danger he exuded was in no way inferior to that of Lord Xiao Xuan beside him!

"As expected—those surnamed Xiao are all perverts!"

Blood Blade Saint muttered a helpless complaint in his heart, his gaze towards Xiao Bai tinged with a hint of awe.

Ignoring the turmoil in the Blood Blade Saint's heart, Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at Xiao Bai beside him and asked calmly, "Shall we begin now?"

Although his expression seemed normal, the slight fluctuation in his tone betrayed a hint of excitement and anticipation deep within him.

"good!"

Xiao Bai nodded. He knew perfectly well why Xiao Xuan was behaving this way, and couldn't help but smile and say, "The sooner we get rid of it, the sooner Senior can break free from the control of this Heavenly Tomb and gain true freedom."

"Hahaha—Great!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan burst into laughter, a hearty and unrestrained laugh that seemed to sweep away the pent-up frustration that had been building up in his heart for countless years!

His vast, ocean-like aura was no longer contained and burst forth with a roar!

"That deformed creature should never have existed in this resting place! I wanted to wipe him out long ago!"

The hearty laughter, like rolling thunder, reverberated throughout the entire Heavenly Tomb!

As his aura surged, the gray mist permeating the heavens and earth seemed to be driven away by an invisible force, rapidly dissipating and retreating. A boundless and terrifying pressure, centered on Xiao Xuan, spread wildly towards every corner of the Heavenly Tomb like a tidal wave!

In just a few breaths, this oppressive force enveloped almost every inch and every corner of the Heavenly Tomb!

"Lord Xiao Xuan—finally—finally going to make a move against him?!"

The Blood Blade Saint standing behind Xiao Bai was protected from the direct impact of this pressure.

But when he heard Xiao Xuan's words, which were filled with undisguised killing intent and determination, his body trembled slightly with extreme excitement, and his face showed an unprecedented look of ecstasy and anticipation!

It wasn't just him!

At this moment, throughout the entire Heavenly Tomb, whether it was the low-level energy beings wandering aimlessly on the edge or the high-level energy beings with considerable intelligence deep inside, their eyes, which were originally filled with numbness, scarlet color, and a devouring desire, suddenly surged with extremely intense fluctuations!

Once upon a time, the Heavenly Tomb was the resting place of ancient powerful beings, and the final resting place for their remnant souls to sleep peacefully.

But ever since the birth of the "Soul of the Heavenly Tomb," born from the resentment of countless remnant souls and the mutation of the rules of the Heavenly Tomb, everything has changed.

It planted an inescapable, primal desire for mutual devouring deep within the remnant souls of all energy beings!

The entire Heavenly Tomb was thus transformed into an incredibly cruel breeding ground for Gu poison!

To survive, one must constantly devour other energy entities to strengthen oneself; otherwise, one can only become resources for others to advance!

Even more terrifying is that once you become powerful enough through devouring and reach a certain level, you will attract the covetousness of the Heavenly Tomb Soul itself and be mercilessly devoured!

They have long loathed this endless, desperate, and distorted way of life!

They were once human beings, strong beings with wisdom and dignity, not wild beasts that only knew how to tear each other apart, nor livestock that were kept in captivity and waiting to be slaughtered!

However, the soul of the Heavenly Tomb is too powerful, wielding immense authority within the Heavenly Tomb.

All the energy bodies that once tried to resist or even just expressed dissatisfaction were ultimately devoured by it with lightning speed and turned into part of its power.

In this land of despair, the only one who could make the soul of the Heavenly Tomb feel apprehensive, and even force it to make some concessions, was the unfathomable Xiao Xuan.

Long ago, powerful energy entities united and begged Xiao Xuan to take action, eliminate this twisted existence, and restore peace to the Heavenly Tomb.

However, Xiao Xuan at the time had other things on his mind and was burdened with a mission, so he did not agree.

Helpless, these energy entities could only continue to struggle in this endless cycle of devouring, gradually becoming numb and burying their resentment and hatred deep within.

Today, they felt Xiao Xuan's undisguised, overwhelming killing intent and determination aimed directly at the soul of the Heavenly Tomb!

How could this not fill them with ecstasy? How could it not rekindle the flame of hope in their long-dead hearts?

"Thank you very much, Lord Xiao Xuan!"

"Lord Xiao Xuan, please have mercy!"

Countless shouts and roars, filled with complex emotions such as excitement, gratitude, and relief, resounded from every corner of the Heavenly Tomb like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, converging into a massive sound wave that echoed throughout this dark space!

Xiao Xuan stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering.

His gaze calmly swept over the prostrate, kneeling, and ecstatic energy figures within the Heavenly Tomb. He slowly shook his head, his voice clearly resounding throughout the surroundings: "You need not thank me. Today, I am merely assisting from the sidelines, offering a helping hand. The one who truly answers your requests—is someone else entirely."

His words silenced the countless excited shouts of energy beings in the Heavenly Tomb, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Is it someone else?

In this Heavenly Tomb, besides Lord Xiao Xuan, who else is qualified and capable of challenging that terrifying Heavenly Tomb Soul?

Only the Blood Blade Saint, who was closely following behind Xiao Bai, felt as if he had been struck by lightning the moment he heard Xiao Xuan's words, and was suddenly shocked!

He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the tall, white-haired figure in front of him, and a thought that even he found hard to believe sprouted wildly like weeds!

It's him? !

The one Lord Xiao Xuan spoke of who was to deal with the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb was actually Xiao Bai?!

Just as the Blood Blade Saint was reeling from the shock and disbelief, a deafening roar erupted!

The sky above the entire Heavenly Tomb suddenly became incredibly dark!

A soul fluctuation, as vast and terrifying as the abyss descending, appeared and coalesced faintly in the sky, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber!

"Ugh!"

Blood Blade Saint felt a tremor in the very essence of his soul. An irresistible terror, originating from his life instinct, instantly rose from his heart and spread throughout his entire body!

I felt like a small boat in a storm, about to be crushed by that invisible, terrifying pressure!

He subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Bai's figure, as if that was the only safe zone.

"Xiao Xuan—!"

A cold, furious roar, seemingly composed of the mingled noises of billions of souls, exploded violently between heaven and earth like thunder from the heavens!

The gray sky began to undulate violently, like a curtain.

A moment later, an enormous, bizarre face that almost covered the entire sky slowly materialized. The face was composed of countless twisted, wailing phantoms of souls, with blurred and distorted features. Only a pair of enormous eyes remained, empty and indifferent, devoid of any human emotion, only pure coldness and a desire to devour everything!

It stared intently at Xiao Xuan, who stood in mid-air, its voice as cold as ice, capable of freezing one's soul: "I have already relinquished half of the control of the Heavenly Tomb, and will keep to myself! Why do you still persist in pressuring me? Could it be—you truly intend to annihilate me?!"

"To exterminate them all?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan shook his head, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you today."

"Um?"

A clear look of astonishment and confusion flashed in the enormous eyes of the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb.

but----

He immediately realized that Xiao Xuan had quietly sealed off the surrounding space, and he flew into a rage, his voice becoming even sharper and more piercing: "Xiao Xuan! You were once the head of a clan, a top expert on the continent, yet you've acted so despicably! You've broken your promise!"

Xiao Xuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to waste words on this deformed monster formed from a collection of distracting thoughts.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Bai, who had silently appeared beside him without him noticing, and asked softly, his tone carrying a hint of confirmation: "Really—I don't need to do anything?"

Xiao Bai stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the huge, grotesque face that blotted out the sun, his face still calm and composed.

He shook his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "No need to trouble yourself, senior. Just please keep it here and prevent it from escaping."

Having said that, Xiao Bai said no more and took a step forward!

Without any earth-shattering aura or dazzling energy, he simply walked through the air as if strolling in a garden, heading straight towards the colossal face in the sky that exuded endless terrifying soul pressure, without dodging or avoiding it!

His purple robe fluttered slightly, and his white hair danced lightly.
