Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 509 Was Heaven and Earth Giving This Reluctantly?

Fenglei Mountain Range, Zixiao Palace.

Since the Palace Master Xiao Bai confronted the Soul Emperor not long ago, the entire Zixiao Palace has been shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

All the disciples, elders, and even affiliated forces were filled with unease.

On this day, a dark rift suddenly appeared in the space above Zixiao Palace.

"Buzz—!"

The spatial rift was like the sky being torn open, emitting a chilling wave.

Upon seeing this, many disciples immediately became alert, and many gripped their weapons tightly, their faces grave.

However, just as they were preparing to meet the enemy...

Several figures slowly emerged from the crack.

The leader, dressed in a purple robe, stood with his hands behind his back; it was Xiao Bai.

"Purple Cloud Palace, I, the Emperor, have returned!"

A clear and melodious female voice rang out. Zi Yan looked down at the Fenglei Mountains, which, although somewhat changed, still looked familiar, and a hint of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes.

To her, Zixiao Palace and Gulong Island were no different.

This is also her home.

"This place is wonderful; it's like a completely different world compared to the Northwest Continent!"

Zhu Kun looked at Zi Yan with affection, then surveyed the entire Fenglei Mountain Range and nodded approvingly.

He could sense that the energy of heaven and earth here was incredibly dense, even faintly surpassing that of some top-tier forces' strongholds.

Moreover, there seems to be an extremely powerful force within the mountain range, enveloping and protecting the entire Fenglei Mountain Range.

"Hmph—of course it's good! Xiao Bai has put a lot of effort into this!"

Zi Yan glanced at her old man, head held high, hands on her hips, looking quite proud.

"It's the Palace Master!"

"The Palace Master is back!"

Below, many disciples were overjoyed when they saw Xiao Bai's figure.

The anxiety that had been gripping me finally subsided.

For them, as long as the Palace Master is there, the Zixiao Palace is as stable as Mount Tai.

This young palace master has proven his strength and courage through one miracle after another.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

'

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out one after another.

Several beautiful figures flew out from the depths of Zixiao Palace and appeared in front of Xiao Bai.

The four at the head were Xun'er, Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun.

They first carefully examined Xiao Bai and saw that although he was a little weak, he was not injured, which put their minds at ease.

Four beautiful faces, each with its own unique charm, simultaneously broke into comfortable smiles as they came forward to greet them.

"Sister Xun'er, Sister Cailin, Sister Xian'er, Sister Yunyun————"

Zi Yan cheered and, like a joyful butterfly, huddled around the girls, happily greeting them.

When Cai Lin and Xun Er saw the tall girl in front of them, dressed in purple and gold armor, a hint of surprise flashed in their beautiful eyes at the same time.

From those brows, one can faintly see the familiar shadow of the past.

The two exchanged a glance, then asked hesitantly, "You—you're Zi Yan?!"

This was the first time they had ever seen what Zi Yan looked like now that she had grown up.

Only Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor, upon seeing Zi Yan at this moment, pursed their red lips, their eyes showing little surprise.

They had seen what Ziyan looked like when she grew up.

"hey-hey----"

Zi Yan winked mischievously, acknowledging her identity.

"Alright, let's go downstairs first and talk about it later."

Xiao Bai waved his sleeve, and a gentle force enveloped the women, causing them to vanish instantly.

The next moment, everyone appeared under the Bodhi tree.

The massive canopy of the ancient Bodhi tree swayed gently, exuding a rich sense of vitality and peace.

"Buzz—"

A flash of light appeared from Xiao Bai's sleeve, and a figure so ethereal that it was almost invisible slowly floated out.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's soul was so transparent that it seemed as if it would dissipate at any moment.

Upon seeing this, the girls' pupils contracted simultaneously.

Zi Yan quietly recounted the journey to them. When they heard that Xiao Xuan had burned his soul and withstood the Soul Emperor, the girls were all shocked and felt a deep respect for his actions.

Zhu Kun watched quietly from the side without making a sound.

He knew that Xiao Bai was preparing to restore Xiao Xuan's soul.

At the same time, he was also filled with curiosity—

What can Xiao Bai do to help Xiao Xuan recover from this state?

The burning of the soul is an irreversible process.

This is common knowledge in the Dou Qi Continent.

Even if Xiao Bai's strength is unfathomable, is it possible to reverse this process?

Xiao Bai remained silent.

He slowly closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again.

Then, he raised his right index finger and gently touched his brow.

"open!"

A low shout.

A vertical line between his brows suddenly glowed with a faint light, and then he abruptly opened his eyes!

A chaotic-colored vertical eye appeared between Xiao Bai's eyebrows.

Those vertical eyes had no pupils, only endless chaos and depth, as if they contained the mysteries of the beginning of the world.

"Buzz—!"

In an instant, everyone felt as if a faint, imperceptible pressure of heaven and earth appeared in the surrounding void.

The pressure was faint, yet it gave people a feeling of vastness and irresistibility.

It was as if the entire world was watching this place.

At the same time, they also sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from Xiao Bai's vertical eye between his brows, as if he were communicating with something.

A moment later—

Xiao Bai raised his right hand, reached into the void, and suddenly grabbed!

"Sizzle—!"

The void was torn apart, and a wisp of chaotic energy, several meters long and emitting strange fluctuations, was forcibly pulled out of the void by him!

The chaotic energy was a hazy gray color, seemingly ordinary, yet it contained an indescribable mystery.

As soon as it appeared, the surrounding space began to distort and vibrate slightly, as if it could not contain its existence.

Even more miraculously, the moment everyone present saw this chaotic energy, they felt their souls become clear, as if they had gained a new understanding of the entire world.

Some long-standing bottlenecks in cultivation have actually begun to loosen!

"This—this is—!"

The massive canopy of the ancient Bodhi tree rustled, its ancient voice filled with awe: "The origin of heaven and earth!!!"

This is the most fundamental and core power of the Dou Qi Continent, the cornerstone that supports the existence of the entire continent!

It knew that even an Emperor-level expert, without special means, could not sense the existence of the origin of heaven and earth.

But now, Xiao Bai has actually—grabbed a wisp of the origin of heaven and earth from the void?!

Xiao Bai ignored the shock of the crowd.

With a wave of his right hand, he sent that wisp of chaotic energy into Xiao Xuan's body.

"Buzz—!"

As soon as the air entered his body, Xiao Xuan's body shuddered violently!

Then, an incredible scene unfolded—his soul, which had been so ethereal as to be almost invisible, began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Although it is still weak, it is definitely recovering!

Xiao Xuan raised his palm and watched as his body gradually returned to its pre-burning state, even showing slight improvement. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide.

He could feel a mysterious and powerful, cool energy flowing into his soul, replenishing his exhausted origin.

Although he is still far from fully recovered, at least—he doesn't have to dissipate anymore!

He—he can survive!

A moment later, Xiao Xuan, seemingly insane, grabbed Xiao Bai's shoulders and shook him violently, shouting, "Xiao Bai, is there more?! This 'Origin of Heaven and Earth' thing?!"

His voice was filled with excitement and longing.

That feeling just now—it was wonderful!

It was as if he had become one with heaven and earth, and he had a completely new understanding of cultivation and everything else.

If there were a few more—he might be able to fully restore his former soul power!

Xiao Bai slowly closed the vertical eye between his brows, shook his head, and said, "It's gone. It's just this wisp, given to me reluctantly by heaven and earth—"

He wasn't lying.

This chaotic energy is the original power of the embryonic form of the plane.

If it weren't for Xiao Bai's special connection with the Plane Embryo, the Plane Embryo, which was in the "nutrition" growth period, would never have given it to him!

When he helped the Plane Embryo revive, he wanted a tiny bit of the extremely rare Chaos Qi, but the Plane Embryo was stingy and refused to give it up no matter what.

We've managed to get even one strand this time; that's the limit.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Was it given to us unwillingly by heaven and earth?

That statement contains a lot of information!

As everyone carefully recalled the faint pressure of heaven and earth they had just felt, a sense of unease settled in their hearts.

Although the pressure was extremely faint, it still gave people a feeling of vastness and immeasurability.

Could it be that—the heavens and earth truly possess a will?!

"Xiao Bai, does this world—possess a will?!"

Zhu Kun felt as if his entire worldview had been shattered.

He has lived for tens of thousands of years. On the Dou Qi Continent, apart from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, there are probably few beings who have lived longer than him.

But he had never seen anything like the "will of heaven and earth"!

This completely overturned his understanding!

I guess so.

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate, Zhu Kun gave him a deep look, his heart churning with turmoil.

If heaven and earth truly have a will, then what is Xiao Bai's identity, who can obtain the origin of heaven and earth from the will of heaven and earth?

The chosen one of heaven and earth?!

The legendary chosen one?!

At this moment, Zhu Kun's evaluation of Xiao Bai rose to another level.

This young man is too mysterious!

Xiao Xuan calmed down, released Xiao Bai, and said with a wry smile, "It was I who was greedy."

He was, after all, a seasoned veteran, and quickly adjusted his mindset.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. How precious is something that can repair the soul of an Emperor-level being and is hailed as the origin of heaven and earth?

That can almost be called the most fundamental thing in this world!

It was already an incredible stroke of luck that Xiao Bai was able to get him even a wisp of it; how could he possibly ask for more?

"Alright, senior."

Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Xuan and said seriously, "Once you have finished refining it in the next few days, we can proceed to the next step."

The next step, naturally, is to rebuild Xiao Xuan's physical body so that he can truly be reborn.

Xiao Xuan nodded emphatically.

He could sense that a large portion of the primordial essence of heaven and earth remained within his body.

If he were to refine it all, his soul would become more solid, greatly increasing his chances of resurrection.

Xiao Bai's gaze shifted to Xun'er, who was standing not far away, and he asked with a smile, "When did you get back?"

Xun'er smiled gently, like a spring breeze: "Shortly after you opened the Heavenly Tomb passage, I sensed a familiar aura, but when I came out, you had already gone to the endless void."

When Xiao Bai opened the Heavenly Tomb passage, Xun'er was cultivating inside the Heavenly Tomb. Only after waking up did she sense the familiar aura of the Purple Cloud Palace.

But by the time she came out, Xiao Bai had already gone to Gulong Island to rescue Zi Yan.

Xiao Bai suddenly realized, and was about to speak—

"Buzz!"

He suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up abruptly.

Not only him, but Zhu Kun and Xiao Xuan also looked up at the sky at the same time.

Xun'er and Cai Lin, along with the other girls, were puzzled and followed along to see what was going on.

Suddenly, a figure in green appeared in the sky.

The figure stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a refined and scholarly air, yet radiating an indescribable sense of authority.

"father!"

Xun'er was slightly taken aback, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe—Clan Chief Gu is still the same as before, arriving at just the right time."

Xiao Xuan looked at the newcomer with a teasing expression: "You'll show up after we've finished fighting."

"Could you come earlier next time?"

Gu Yuan's face darkened as soon as he landed, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, stop making sarcastic remarks."

Seeing this, Xiao Bai had no choice but to go up to them and invite Zhu Kun and Xiao Xuan to sit down in the pavilion next to them.

Xun'er pursed her lips and obediently came to the group, pouring each of them a cup of tea.

"Uncle Gu, any news?"

Xiao Bai picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then asked about the Soul Emperor.

He had previously used the Plane Embryo to investigate in the Black Corner Region and had not sensed any aura of the Soul Clan. That's why he sent a message to Gu Yuan, asking him to pay attention to the Soul Emperor's wisp of soul.

"His divided soul dissipated just before you delivered the message."

Gu Yuan's expression was somewhat grim: "It's obvious that the main body directly severed the connection."

The Soul Clan has now gone into hiding, completely concealing themselves from the light.

Who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause next time they appear?

"His injury is quite serious, and he probably won't be back for a while."

Xiao Bai rubbed the rim of the teacup with his palm, and said thoughtfully.

In order to escape, the Soul Emperor even went so far as to self-destruct three elders at the level of eight-star Dou Sheng.

Such an injury would be impossible to recover from without several years of rest.

"I hope so."

Gu Yuan sighed, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

The Soul Emperor is far too dangerous.

As long as he is alive, he is a huge threat to them.

At this moment, Zhu Kun took out seven pieces of Tuoshe ancient jade and placed them on the stone table.

The ancient jade pieces emitted a faint glow, resonating with each other and exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Now that I'm free, this ancient jade is useless to me."

Zhu Kun said in a deep voice, "Xiao Bai, what are you planning to do?"

These seven ancient jade pieces were originally used by Zhukun to break the seal.

Now that he's free, the ancient jade has lost its purpose.

But their value remains immeasurable.

By combining the eight jades, one can open the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave and obtain the Emperor-grade embryonic pill inside, or even the opportunity to become an emperor!

This is something that countless powerful individuals across the entire Dou Qi Continent have been dreaming of.

Xiao Bai stared at the ancient jade on the table, his expression unchanged.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "Uncle Gu, what are your thoughts?"

He posed the question to Gu Yuan.

Now, Xiao Bai can begin to consider becoming emperor.

Since he began refining the Life and Death Purple Lightning, he had already had a vague feeling in his heart.

If he were to consume that half-golden pill and fully comprehend the power of life, he was confident that he could raise his cultivation to the level of an eight-star Dou Sheng.

If one can also comprehend the power of annihilation and fully refine the Life and Death Purple Lightning, one's cultivation level should be able to rise to the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Nine Stars.

However, the embryo of a plane—it is unlikely to mature in the short term.

In this way, the Imperial-grade Chick Pill came into his selection range.

However, there is only one Teitan.

And those present here—I'm afraid—all have designs on that pill.
