Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 504 In this world, there is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness!

"Click!"

A towering purple lightning bolt descended from the sky without warning.

The massive pillar of lightning, like a divine spear of judgment, pierced straight into the deep magma pit!

The lightning pillar was over a hundred feet in diameter, its entire body a deep purple, with liquid lightning-like sparks flowing across its surface, radiating an aura of destruction.

Along the way, the magma, which was thousands of degrees hot, was instantly evaporated into nothingness, leaving behind a dark passage that exuded a scorching aura and led straight to the depths of the earth!

"Bomb One"

The purple lightning bolt pierced through the underground magma without restraint, and finally collided violently with an invisible barrier. In an instant, the earth shook!

The entire Black Corner Region trembled violently, as if an earth dragon was turning over below!

In the underground cave, on that endless space seal, countless purple lightning slurries spread out like a spider web, frantically eroding the sealing barrier.

Layers of multicolored light rippled across the surface of the barrier, which was the seal itself defending itself.

At the same time, from deep underground, incredibly dense fire-attribute energy erupted, empowering the great formation and fiercely clashing with the raging lightning-attribute energy!

The collision between the purple lightning and the seal unleashed a deafening roar, causing the entire underground space to shake violently, and magma to surge like a raging torrent!

"What powerful purple lightning!!"

Zhu Kun's enormous dragon pupils suddenly contracted, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that the seal within his body had loosened slightly the instant the lightning struck the sealing barrier!

Although it was only a very slight loosening, almost negligible, it was enough to make Zhu Kun's dragon body tremble with excitement!

This purple lightning—it can actually shake the seal left by Emperor Tuoshe!

If this purple lightning can continue to bombard the sealing formation—

Zhu Kun's gaze toward the purple lightning pillar suddenly became incredibly fervent!

As long as the purple lightning continues to bombard him, he believes that it won't be long before the seal loosens enough for him to break free!

But this purple lightning was unfamiliar.

With his tens of thousands of years of experience, he had never seen lightning of this color before, let alone such domineering lightning energy!

He had only seen this unfamiliar thunder on one person before—

"Xiao Bai?"

The name flashed through Zhu Kun's mind, but he immediately shook his head and denied it.

impossible.

Although that kid is exceptionally talented, he's only recently broken through to the Dou Sheng realm.

The power of that purple lightning was comparable to a strike from a nine-star Dou Sheng!

How could someone grow so quickly in such a short time?

Even if someone is incredibly talented, they couldn't possibly be this talented!

Just as Zhu Kun's mind raced with anxiety and uncertainty, a deep, angry voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth: "Xiao Bai—!!"

The voice contained suppressed rage; it belonged to the Soul Emperor!

His once gentle and refined face was now ashen and gloomy.

Those usually calm eyes were now burning with a cold flame as they stared intently at the purple vortex in the sky.

The transaction was interrupted!

Just when I was about to get my hands on the ancient jade!

All our efforts were in vain!

The Soul Emperor slowly raised his head, his gaze icy cold, his voice laced with mockery and anger: "It seems that to you, this little dragon girl is utterly unimportant compared to the Ancient Jade?!"

Upon hearing this, the world fell into an eerie silence.

Above the deep pit, in the death cage, Zi Yan's delicate body trembled violently upon hearing these words.

A look of bewilderment and astonishment flashed across his purplish-gold eyes, which then turned into deep worry.

"Xiao Bai?!"

She stood up abruptly, tiptoed, and strained to look towards the end of the aura of death.

However, the Death Realm formed by the three black stone gates completely blocked all senses, so she could see nothing but hear the cold voice of the Soul Emperor echoing in the void.

"Xiao Bai, you idiot!!"

Zi Yan's face scrunched up in frustration, and she stamped her feet in exasperation: "Who sent you?! I didn't use the jade slip you gave me, and I even blocked the communication channel I gave you, yet you still walked right into my trap! I'm so angry!"

After learning that she had been captured, she immediately cut off all contact with Xiao Bai, fearing that he might act impulsively.

With Xiao Bai's cultivation having just broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, wouldn't coming here be suicide?

But that idiot—he still came!

Zi Yan felt anxious and angry, but mostly touched.

Inside the underground cave, Zhu Kun heard the words of the Soul Emperor and looked at the seven ancient jade pieces floating in front of the sealing barrier. His eyes were deep and he remained silent for a moment.

Just as everyone had different thoughts.

The purple clouds in the sky began to slowly rotate.

At first it only rotated slightly, but then the speed increased, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of over a thousand feet!

At the center of the vortex, purple lightning rolled and electric snakes danced wildly, as if connecting to another world of thunder.

And in the deepest part of that vortex, a figure slowly emerged.

From the abstract to the concrete, from the vague to the clear.

He wore a purple robe, spotless.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm.

"Which is more important is none of the concern of Clan Chief Hun."

Xiao Bai's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

He lowered his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the death realm constructed by three black stone gates, and saw the purple-haired figure standing on tiptoe with her small face scrunched up.

When he saw that Zi Yan was trapped but not seriously injured, a gentle light flashed in his eyes.

But when he raised his head and looked at the Soul Emperor, that gentle light vanished instantly, replaced by a cold calm: "Your Soul Clan's actions are as despicable as ever."

Xiao Bai's voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm: "A thousand years ago, taking advantage of Xiao Xuan's failed breakthrough, the entire clan launched a siege."

"A thousand years later, they are again using people's relatives to blackmail them and resorting to such despicable means."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor not only wasn't angry, but instead burst into laughter: "It's all about the victor taking all! Xiao Bai, you're a smart man, don't you understand this principle?"

His laughter was filled with mockery and disdain: "So what if the methods are despicable? My Soul Clan still exists today, while the Xiao Clan? How glorious they were a thousand years ago, where are they now?"

"History is always written by the victors! As long as I can step into the Emperor Realm, everything I've done today will be embellished for me!"

The Soul Emperor's voice was powerful and resounding, carrying an almost fanatical obsession: "In this world, there is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness! There is no good or evil, only success or failure!"

"Xiao Xuan has been defeated, therefore the Xiao clan he protected should perish!"

"Zhu Kun was defeated, so he has been trapped here for thousands of years!"

"And you, Xiao Bai—"

'

The Soul Emperor's gaze was like a knife, fixed on Xiao Bai: "If you are defeated by me in the future, your Purple Cloud Palace, your family and friends, everything you have will vanish into thin air!"

"This is reality!"

These words made no attempt to conceal anything, revealing the brutal reality of the Dou Qi Continent: the survival of the fittest.

The moment the Soul Emperor finished speaking, Xiao Bai felt a slight disturbance coming from his sleeve.

He patted his sleeves and looked at the Soul Emperor with a calm and profound gaze, unmoved by the Soul Emperor's words about annihilating his entire clan.

As he said, no matter which side wins, the other side will not show any mercy.

Such is the Soul Emperor!

Xiao Bai was the same!

To be fair, although the Soul Emperor was ruthless and crazy, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, his heart, which pursued power and breakthroughs, was as firm as a rock and never wavered.

If he hadn't been trapped in this world lacking in primordial energy, with the Soul Emperor's talent and temperament, he might have shone brightly in the Great Thousand Worlds.

But unfortunately—

They were ultimately not meant to be.

The Soul Emperor is willing to sacrifice everything, including his fellow Soul Clan members, in order to become an emperor.

But Xiao Bai couldn't do that.

He has people he wants to protect, and bottom lines he wants to uphold.

Different road non-phase plan.

"Xiao Bai".

At that moment, Zhu Kun's deep voice came from deep underground: "You want to stop me from exchanging the ancient jade for Yan'er?"

Zhu Kun's tone was calm, revealing no emotion, but his enormous dragon eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai, awaiting his answer.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai took a step forward and arrived in the underground space, bowing respectfully: "Uncle Zhu."

"It was my fault for neglecting Ziyan's matter, and I feel ashamed of my trust in her. Xiao Bai has nothing to say about it and will not stop it."

This is the first time he has broken a promise.

Zi Yan's situation is different from Cai Lin's.

She is the current queen of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void. Ancient Dragon Island needs her, and Xiao Bai cannot force her to stay by his side.

Ancient Dragon Island lies deep within the endless void, a place even the perception of a plane's embryo cannot reach, especially since Zi Yan deliberately severed the connection—

The Soul Clan's actions this time were too sudden, without any prior warning, leaving Xiao Bai helpless.

Zhu Kun remained silent upon hearing this.

Xiao Bai's attitude diminished much of the resentment he felt when he saw Zi Yan trapped.

"but--

—

Xiao Bai changed the subject, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Kun with a firm gaze: "If possible, let me handle the matter of exchanging Zi Yan this time, how about it?"

"you?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Kun's enormous dragon eyes.

He scrutinized Xiao Bai closely; this kid had truly shocked him this time!

With an Emperor-level soul and a six-star Dou Sheng cultivation, not to mention the power of the purple lightning on his body, he dared not underestimate him.

Are you sure?

Zhu Kun asked in a deep voice.

"Sure."

Xiao Bai answered without hesitation.

Zhu Kun remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you."

He is still trapped and is in a passive position when making a deal with the Soul Emperor. The risk is too great. If the other party uses any tricks, he will be helpless.

As for what choice Xiao Bai will make between Gu Yu and Zi Yan, Zhu Kun chooses to believe in Xiao Bai.

If Xiao Bai truly cared about the ancient jade, he wouldn't have left it for him to break the seal in the first place.

"Yan'er's safety must be guaranteed!"

Zhu Kun solemnly instructed, his dragon eyes filled with seriousness.

Xiao Bai nodded seriously.

Zhu Kun gave Xiao Bai a deep look and said nothing more.

With a thought, the seven pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Jade slowly floated up, passed through the sealing barrier, and came to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai reached out and brushed his hand over each of the seven ancient jade pieces.

His movements were very gentle, as if he were caressing a precious gem.

But the instant his palm brushed across the surface, a thin layer of purple light quietly covered the surface of each piece of ancient jade.

This protective barrier is made of pure purple lightning, crystal clear, with faint lightning flowing within it, radiating a subtle pressure.

When Zhu Kun saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his dragon eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

Soon, after all seven pieces of ancient jade were enveloped in light, Xiao Bai held up the seven jade balls wrapped in the purple lightning shield and took a light step.

With one step, space shifts.

The next moment, he appeared outside the seal, facing Soul Emperor from afar.

The distance between the two was only a few hundred feet.

This distance is almost equivalent to face-to-face for a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

"Soul Emperor, hand over the person."

Xiao Bai's voice was calm, without any discernible emotional fluctuation.

The Soul Emperor's gaze, however, fell on the seven orbs of light in Xiao Bai's hand.

He looked at the purple lightning shield encasing the ancient jade, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Remove the light shield."

The Soul Emperor coldly said, "I don't like surprises. If you don't want anything to happen to that little girl, you'd better not try anything funny."

"impossible!"

Xiao Bai refused decisively, his tone resolute and unyielding: "This light barrier is a necessary condition for guaranteeing the transaction. In the time before you break through all the light barriers, I need to check whether you have left any backup plans for Zi Yan."

He paused, then added, "We're both sensible people, Soul Emperor. You don't trust me, and I don't trust you either. A fair trade, no tricks allowed."

The Soul Emperor remained silent.

His gaze swept across Xiao Bai's face, then looked at the seven purple lightning shields, a shadow flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Xiao Bai definitely had some tricks up his sleeve when it came to these things.

As for the methods used, since everyone's souls are at the same level, it's really impossible to tell in a short time.

Breaking through this light barrier is not difficult.

But it will take time.

This period of time was enough for Xiao Bai to check on Zi Yan's condition.

"Xiao Bai".

The Soul Emperor spoke slowly, his voice low and deep: "You'd better not try anything funny, or else—"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "You'll regret this."

This is a blatant threat.

Xiao Bai naturally sensed the threat in his voice; this guy definitely had a backup plan.

However, he had already guessed this, and remained unfazed.

Zi Yan's value is too great; even Zhu Kun is worth the Soul Emperor's utmost efforts.

"The same thing, I'll return it to you."

The two stared at each other, their gazes colliding in the air as if sparks were flying.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

After a long silence, the Soul Emperor slowly nodded: "Alright, as you said."

He stopped insisting because he knew that Xiao Bai would not back down.

Moreover, he has absolute confidence—

Even if Xiao Bai discovers it, to break the curse, we'll have to ask him for permission.

The Soul Emperor reached out and beckoned.

"Splash!"

On the three black stone tablets to the side, the crisscrossing black chains began to tremble violently, emitting a piercing friction sound.

Then, the chains broke apart inch by inch, turning into countless black specks of light that dissipated into the air.

The three stone tablets slowly moved, and the distance between them began to shorten.

As the stone tablet moved, the triangular cage formed by endless death energy also began to change.

The deathly energy surged, gradually contracting and condensing inward.

Finally, all the death energy condensed into a black sphere about three zhang in diameter.

On the surface of the sphere, death energy flowed like liquid, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

At the center of the sphere, a faint purple-gold figure can be seen.

"go."

With a flick of his finger, the Soul Emperor sent the black sphere drifting toward Xiao Bai.

At the same time, Xiao Bai waved his sleeve, and seven purple lightning shields floated towards the Soul Emperor.
