Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 507 This Emperor... has finally emerged!

At this moment, the Soul Emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were so gloomy that they seemed to drip water.

For a fleeting moment, Xiao Xuan blocked his path, and the seven ancient jade pieces he had plotted to obtain fell back into Zhu Kun's hands.

The victory that seemed within reach was snatched away at the last moment!

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, the Soul Emperor knew that all his plans for today had failed.

He gazed intently at Xiao Xuan across from him—his greatest rival from a thousand years ago.

Originally, it was thought that Xiao Xuan could only eke out a living in the Heavenly Tomb, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, he was given a huge "surprise", which made all his plans go to waste.

The Soul Emperor did not attack Xiao Xuan again.

That makes no sense.

Xiao Xuan's soul, which was burning, was destined to dissipate. To continue to entangle him now would only be a waste of energy.

His gaze lowered slightly, falling towards the underground space.

There, Zhukun's enormous dragon body was struggling frantically.

Seven pieces of ancient Tuoshe jade floated in front of the giant dragon head of Zhukun, emitting seven-colored light. They resonated with each other, forming a strange energy field that canceled out the seals and restrictions on the stone gate of the Doudi Cave.

The tiny fiery lines on Zhu Kun's body were melting and breaking at a visible speed under the light of the ancient jade.

More importantly, Xiao Bai's previous purple lightning bolt had already left countless tiny cracks on the surface of the seal.

The cracks spread like a spider web; though small, they damaged the integrity of the seal.

At this moment, Zhu Kun is concentrating all his power to attack the areas with the most dense cracks!

"roar--!!!"

Another earth-shattering dragon roar resounded.

Zhu Kun's dragon head suddenly rose upwards, and the unbroken fire lines on his neck crackled and popped, but they could no longer completely bind him.

Half of the dragon's body had already emerged from the crack in the seal!

The purple-gold dragon scales shimmered brilliantly under the reflection of the lava, each scale containing immense energy.

The dragon's might was like a tangible tsunami, crashing against the seal wave after wave, impacting the entire underground space.

The Soul Emperor's eyes flickered, a cold glint flashing in them.

He knew perfectly well that once Zhu Kun was completely free, he would never have such an opportunity again.

"We can't let him escape—"

The thought flashed through the Soul Emperor's mind, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

Just as he shifted slightly, preparing to forcefully break through Xiao Xuan's obstruction to stop Zhu Kun from escaping.

"Where does the Soul Clan Chief wish to go?"

Xiao Bai's calm voice sounded from his left.

Before anyone knew it, Xiao Bai had already positioned himself between the Soul Emperor and the underground space, standing with his hands behind his back, his body shrouded in purple lightning, like a thunderous war god.

"Such a sight is a once-in-a-millennium event, why the rush?"

From the right, Xiao Xuan's voice slowly drifted over.

Although his remnant soul in his blue robe was illusory, the pressure emanating from it after burning the flames of his soul was still not to be underestimated.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, subtly surrounded the Soul Emperor.

Looking at Zhukun, whose dragon body was already half protruding from the seal, the Soul Emperor instantly understood something.

These two were not only stopping him from stopping Zhu Kun, but also trying to hold him back until Zhu Kun could escape!

Once Zhu Kun escapes, the three top experts will join forces, putting him at a significant disadvantage!

"Well done—well planned!"

The Soul Emperor's cold gaze swept over the man and his soul, his voice filled with sarcasm: "A wisp of a soul on the verge of dissipation, a brat who forcibly enhanced his strength through external forces, do you really think you can stop me?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Soul Emperor suddenly attacked!

Although he spoke with disdain, he had to admit that if Zhu Kun were to break free, the three of them working together would be a formidable opponent, even for him.

Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively!

We must defeat these two before Zhu Kun is completely free!

The Soul Emperor rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest, and black energy surged from his body into the sky.

This time, he didn't hold back.

Tens of thousands of black soul shadows surged out of his body, transforming into a black sea of ​​souls that blotted out the sky and engulfed Xiao Bai and Xiao Xuan!

They let out mournful howls, like evil spirits from the deepest hell, trying to drag all living beings into eternal darkness.

"Thunder Emperor Seal, appear!"

Xiao Bai gave a low shout and quickly formed hand seals.

"boom-!!!"

A lightning seal appeared, and the surrounding area seemed to transform into a sea of ​​lightning, with purple lightning rolling and electric snakes dancing wildly. Every bolt of lightning contained an aura of destruction.

The moment the black soul sea rushed into the lightning sea, it encountered its nemesis.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

Countless soul shadows rapidly melted and dissipated under the bombardment of purple lightning, turning into black specks of light that vanished into the air.

However, the Soul Sea was simply too vast, and even with Xiao Bai's incredibly powerful Thunder Sea, it could only block a portion of it.

More soul shadows bypassed the Thunder Realm and rushed towards Xiao Xuan.

"Heh—Soul Emperor, a thousand years have passed, and your methods are still the same old ones."

Xiao Xuan chuckled softly, his hands forming an ancient hand seal in front of his chest: "Burning Heaven!"

"boom-!!!"

A giant hand burning with the flames of a raging soul appeared out of thin air and slammed down on the black sea of ​​souls.

The Soul Fire has a natural restraining effect on souls; wherever the giant palm passes, the soul shadows melt away as quickly as ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

However, Xiao Xuan's soul became even more ethereal as a result.

Clearly, each strike was depleting his already dwindling soul power.

A great battle suddenly broke out in the sky.

With a purple lightning seal above his head, Xiao Bai was floating in a sea of ​​lightning. Every move he made attracted thousands of lightning bolts as he clashed head-on with the Soul Emperor.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xuan provided support from the sidelines, using the power gained from burning his soul to constantly interfere with and restrain the Soul Emperor, creating opportunities for Xiao Bai.

However, even so, the battle remained deadlocked.

Only by truly confronting the Soul Emperor did Xiao Bai realize just how terrifying a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert was.

Each strike contains earth-shattering power, and each move embodies a profound understanding of the energy of heaven and earth, comparable to a high-level Heaven-rank combat skill.

If it weren't for Xiao Xuan's assistance, and if it weren't for the fact that his Life and Death Purple Lightning had a natural restraining effect on the Soul Clan's techniques, even though he had already fused with the Life and Death Purple Lightning and his strength had skyrocketed, he would still have been forced to retreat step by step.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

The three clashed fiercely in the sky, each collision producing a deafening roar.

Space was torn apart, the earth trembled, and the entire Black Corner Region groaned in the battle between the three.

"cough----"

After another hard clash, Xiao Bai's face turned pale, and a trace of crimson blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The Soul Emperor's strength is indeed above his.

Even with the blessing of the Life and Death Purple Lightning and Xiao Xuan's support, he still suffered serious internal injuries.

"Xiao Bai————"

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly, his figure flashed and he stood in front of Xiao Bai, raising his hand to block the next wave of attacks from the Soul Emperor.

"boom--!!"

Xiao Xuan's soul trembled violently, and his already illusory form dimmed even further.

But he didn't care at all, only looking at Xiao Bai with some concern in his eyes.

"It's alright."

Xiao Bai shook his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He took a deep breath, and the power of the Purple Lightning of Life and Death within his body began to circulate wildly.

The Purple Lightning of Creation and Annihilation is named "Creation and Annihilation" because it simultaneously contains both "destruction" and "creation".

Two completely opposite forces.

Its destructive power can destroy everything.

The power of creation can heal everything.

—

Purple energy emanated from Xiao Bai's body, and a powerful vitality surged from within him, rapidly repairing his damaged meridians and internal organs.

In no time, his complexion regained its rosy hue, and his breathing became steady again.

"this----"

A strange light flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes.

He knew that Xiao Bai's Life and Death Purple Lightning was extraordinary, but he never expected it to be so effective.

This is not just "restoration," but an almost "regeneration" ability!

With this ability, Xiao Bai is practically immortal!

As long as you're not instantly killed, as long as you still have a breath left, you can recover quickly!

This purple lightning of birth and death—it truly is a priceless treasure!

The Soul Emperor also witnessed this scene, and the murderous aura in his eyes intensified.

He hadn't expected that even without the Bodhi Tree by his side, Xiao Bai would still possess such an abnormal recovery ability.

"Since you recover so quickly, let's see how many times you can recover!"

A flash of bloodlust appeared in the Soul Emperor's eyes, and he clasped his hands together abruptly: "Soul Annihilation Slash!"

"Buzz—!!"

A jet-black blade of light appeared out of thin air, with countless twisted soul shadows entwined and roaring on it, emanating a chilling aura of death.

This strike, drawing upon the power of countless souls, condenses the force of death, unleashing a strike powerful enough to annihilate a nine-star Dou Sheng!

"go!"

With a wave of his right hand, the Soul Emperor unleashed a black blade of light that tore through space and slashed down at Xiao Bai!

Wherever the blade's edge passed, space froze, time stood still, and all things withered.

It was as if everything was being dragged into eternal darkness and deathly silence.

"Be careful!"

Xiao Xuan's expression changed, and he wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was forced back by a black palm print swung out by the Soul Emperor's other hand.

He could only watch helplessly as the black blade of light slashed towards Xiao Bai!

"Thunder Emperor Seal, suppress!"

Xiao Bai's expression was solemn. He quickly formed hand seals, and the purple lightning seal above his head instantly expanded, transforming into a huge mountain of lightning that crashed fiercely into the black blade light!

"boom-!!!"

The lightning seal collided with the blade's light, unleashing an unprecedentedly terrifying roar!

The entire sky was blasted open with a huge hole, revealing a pitch-black void.

The Thunder Seal trembled violently, countless cracks appeared on its surface, and it finally exploded with a bang.

However, the black blade light was also weakened by more than half, but its remaining power continued to slash at Xiao Bai.

"puff--!"

Xiao Bai coughed up blood again and flew backward, his chest torn open by the residual force of the blade's edge, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining his purple robe dark red.

"Xiao Bai!"

Xiao Xuan and Zi Yan, who was underground, exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"fine----"

Xiao Bai steadied himself and looked down at the wound on his chest.

The wound was deep; you could almost see the stark white bone.

But he didn't panic.

"Birth and Death Purple Lightning—Power of Creation!"

Xiao Bai let out a low shout, and the purple lightning within his body began to circulate wildly.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

At the wound, purple light shimmered, and flesh and blood regenerated and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the deep, bone-revealing wound had already healed most of its length.

Although her face was pale, her breathing had stabilized.

"What a magnificent display of the power of the Purple Lightning that brings life and death!"

A flicker of shock crossed the Soul Emperor's eyes, but it quickly transformed into a deeper killing intent: "But I'd like to see how long you can last!"

He raised his hands again, preparing to launch the next wave of attacks.

However-

Just then, a deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens!

"Hahahaha—Tuoshe, you can't hold me back after all!!!"

A boisterous laugh echoed from underground, unrestrained, arrogant, and filled with the joy of liberation.

Immediately afterwards—

"BOOM—!!!"

The entire underground space was completely blown apart!

A magnificent yet violent energy storm swept across the entire underground!

Lava shot into the sky like a fountain, turning the sky crimson.

At the eye of the storm, a purple-gold figure, ten thousand feet long, soared into the sky like an ancient ferocious beast breaking free from its restraints!

Zhu Kun, you're free!

This ancient dragon emperor, who had been trapped in front of the Tuoshegu Emperor's cave for thousands of years, has finally regained his freedom!

His enormous dragon body stretched out, each scale shimmering with dazzling purple-gold light, and his dragon might spread wildly in all directions like a tangible tsunami!

In an instant, all living beings across the Northwest Continent felt this terrifying dragon's might.

Countless eyes turned in this direction, but no one dared to approach within ten thousand miles.

Today, in this Black Corner Region, as soon as Xiao Bai appeared, he used the terrifying destructive power of the sky-filling thunder to drive away everyone.

Now, this dragon's might sweeps across the continent, and no one dares to approach it anymore.

"I'm out—I, the Emperor—am finally out!!!"

Zhu Kun looked up at the sky and roared, his voice filled with joy and excitement.

It's been tens of thousands of years!

For tens of thousands of years!

He was trapped in that dark, sunless underground, day after day, year after year, accompanied only by darkness and loneliness.

Today, he finally saw the light of day again!

Finally—I'm free!

Congratulations, Uncle Zhu!

Congratulations, Brother Zhukun!

Xiao Bai and Xiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

They discussed and planned repeatedly along the way, even at the risk of taking risks, and finally saw results.

Even Xiao Xuan sacrificed his soul to help, which brought about this crucial moment.

Now that Zhu Kun is free, the situation has completely reversed!

Zhu Kun lowered his head, his enormous dragon eyes looking at the two of them, filled with gratitude.

"Young Xiao Bai, Brother Xiao Xuan, thank you very much."

His voice was sincere: "If it weren't for you, I don't know how much longer I would have been trapped."

"Uncle Zhu, you're too kind."

Xiao Bai smiled slightly: "Now is not the time to talk about these things."

"Um."

Zhu Kun nodded, then turned his gaze to the Soul Emperor in the distance.

Gratitude vanished instantly from those enormous dragon eyes, replaced by icy killing intent: "Soul Emperor—now, it's time to settle our score."

His voice was calm, but beneath that calm lay a raging inferno.

That was the rage imprisoned for ten thousand years.

That was the daughter's anger at being threatened.

At this moment, it all turned into killing intent.

The Soul Emperor looked at the three people who surrounded him in a triangle, his face extremely gloomy.

This scene reminded him of the time when the Soul Clan's powerful warriors besieged Xiao Xuan.

Even more impressive than back then!

When they besieged Xiao Xuan, although the Soul Clan had a large number of people, the only one who could truly pose a threat to Xiao Xuan was Soul Emperor.

And now, the three people surrounding him—

Zhu Kun, a peak-level Nine-Star Dou Sheng super monster.

Xiao Xuan, although only a remnant soul remains, still possesses astonishing strength after burning his soul.

Xiao Bai, though young, is a force to be reckoned with. His purple lightning not only counters the Soul Clan's techniques, but also makes him seem like an unkillable cockroach.

The combined strength of these three put unprecedented pressure on even the Soul Emperor.
