Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 512 Welcome... to my world

"careful----"

As the girls approached the massive, milky-white door, Cai Lin and Zi Yan frowned simultaneously and immediately became alert.

They sensed that the surrounding space was undergoing strange changes.

The space rippled like water, and dark spatial cracks appeared without warning.

From within the crack, milky-white flames surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the entire high platform area.

What shocked the women even more was—

As the flames surged forth, countless fiery figures appeared out of thin air on the high platform and in the sky!

These figures were composed entirely of milky-white flames, their faces obscured, yet the powerful aura emanating from them was clearly palpable.

Thousands upon thousands of fiery figures surrounded the five women.

It was deathly silent, yet it exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"This is—a Fire Slave!"

Xun'er recognized the origin of these fiery figures in a flash of light: "Strong individuals refined by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame are considered alternative puppets."

"They have lost their minds and only know how to obey the demon fire's commands."

"roar-!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, tens of thousands of fire slaves rioted at the same time!

Like a tidal wave, it swept towards the five women!

The fiery figures coalesced into a milky-white ocean, threatening to completely engulf them.

"Good timing!"

Zi Yan was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she was full of excitement.

She'd been holding in a lot of anger for a long time, and now she could finally vent it!

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

A burst of purple-gold light erupted from her body. She lightly touched the platform with her toes and shot into the crowd like an arrow.

A punch was thrown!

The purple-gold fist shadow instantly expanded, transforming into a terrifying fist imprint with a diameter of over a thousand feet, carrying a world-destroying power as it slammed into the fire slave horde!

"boom-!!!"

Wherever the fist imprint passed, the fire slaves were as fragile as paper, instantly blasted into dust!

With just one punch, all the fire slaves within a thousand-foot radius were wiped out!

"happy!"

Zi Yan laughed loudly, using both fists and feet, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, cutting her way in and out of the fire slave group seven times.

Wherever it passed, the fiery figures exploded, turning into sparks that dissipated into the sky.

Seeing this, Cai Lin and the others shook their heads and, without further hesitation, took action.

Behind Cai Lin, the phantom of the nine-colored giant python reappeared, its massive tail sweeping across and instantly clearing a large area.

Golden flames rose from Xun'er's hand, transforming into countless golden fire lotuses that bloomed among the fire slaves, burning any that approached to ashes.

With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, Little Fairy Doctor unleashed a torrent of poisonous gas, causing the fire slaves to corrode and disintegrate wherever it passed.

Although Yun Yun was the weakest, she still cooperated with the other girls to clean up the remaining survivors.

In an instant, various lights flashed on the high platform, and booming sounds were heard incessantly.

Although the Fire Slaves were numerous, they posed little threat to the five women working together.

However----

"Killing like this is pointless."

Little Fairy Doctor slapped away the fire slaves in front of her with one palm, then glanced at the spatial rifts around her, her brows furrowing slightly: "Fire slaves are still pouring out of these rifts in an endless stream."

"If we don't address the root cause, we'll be slowly worn down and killed."

Her words sent a chill down the spines of all the women.

Indeed, the number of fire slaves seemed endless.

One batch was killed, and another batch emerged.

If this continues, even a Battle Saint will have their battle energy completely depleted.

"The source—it should be that door."

Xun'er looked at the milky-white giant gate at the end of the platform, her voice solemn: "Only by going in and dealing with the true form of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame can this all be put to an end."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Zi Yan blasted away dozens more fire slaves with a single punch, then glanced at the milky-white gate, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes: "Just fight your way in!"

She took a deep breath, and the power of the dragon and phoenix within her body gathered wildly.

On his small fist, veins bulged, and the purple-gold light shone brilliantly.

"Tai Xu Fist!"

With a sharp rebuke, a ferocious purple-gold dragon head instantly appeared on her fist!

The dragon head roared, slamming into the gate with the force to tear the sky apart!

"Bang-!!!"

A deafening roar!

The massive, milky-white gate trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on its surface.

final-

"BOOM—!!!"

The entire door was blasted into dust by Zi Yan's punch!

Smoke and dust filled the air, and pebbles flew everywhere.

When Cai Lin, Xun Er, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun saw this scene, their eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

This girl—she really is a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!

The power of that punch, if it had landed on them earlier—

The consequences—I can't even imagine!

"Haha—it really works!"

Zi Yan triumphantly put her hands on her slender hips and watched as the fire slaves froze in place as the gate shattered, a victorious smile spreading across their faces.

"Let's go."

Xun'er glanced at the interior of the main hall revealed after the smoke and dust cleared from the gate, and chuckled softly, "This should be the Demon Flame Hall."

"The true form of that demonic fire—is inside."

"Hmph—that guy kept using illusions to trick me, I'll go in and kill him!"

Upon hearing that the demonic fire's true form was inside, Zi Yan immediately shook her little fist and let out a soft snort.

With a twist of her body, she rushed into the main hall behind the door without any hesitation.

"Let's go too."

Seeing the girl's recklessness, Cai Lin shook his head slightly, exchanged a glance with Xun'er and the others, and also rushed towards the back of the door.

Behind the door was a vast and magnificent hall.

Milky white flames were everywhere, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

Inside the main hall, countless fiery figures stood in neat rows like an army, several times more numerous than outside!

They didn't make a sound; they just stood there quietly.

But the aura gathering above them seemed to materialize as it converged and merged in the air, eventually transforming into a fiery dragon tens of thousands of feet long, which hovered above the hall, coldly looking down at the women who had intruded.

"How many grand halls are there inside? This is already the fourth one!"

Yun Yun looked at the scene in the hall and her brows slowly furrowed.

They had already passed through three similar halls, each guarded by fire slaves.

But the further they went in, the stronger the fire slaves became.

At first, there were only Dou Zun, then there were Ban Sheng, and now—even Dou Sheng level fire slaves have appeared!

If all the fire slaves gathered in this hall were to attack at once, even some low-level Battle Saints would have to be cautious.

"According to clan records, this demonic fire space has been managed by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire for thousands of years."

Xun'er shook her head, her voice tinged with seriousness: "The interior is intricately designed with layers upon layers of traps and mechanisms."

"Even if a five-star Dou Sheng came, it would still feel like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair."

"Otherwise, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame would probably have been captured long ago after all these years."

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the list of strange flames, is incredibly tempting.

For thousands of years, countless powerful beings have tried to capture it.

But to this day—this space of demonic fire still exists.

"What are you afraid of?"

Zi Yan stood tall and proud, showing no fear whatsoever: "Even if we can't beat them, we still have Xiao Bai, my old man, and Xun'er's father!"

"Call them over! Even if the Pure Lotus Demon Saint were alive, we could still take him down!"

Her words were spoken with great bravado, leaving the other four women speechless.

"Alright, let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Cai Lin's gaze swept over the fire slaves in the main hall, a sharp glint appearing on her cold and beautiful face: "Quickly finish this."

"Um."

The women nodded and attacked simultaneously.

Zi Yan and Cai Lin rushed to the front, like two sharp knives, instantly tearing apart the Fire Slave's formation.

Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Yun Yun followed closely behind, cleaning up any fish that had slipped through the net.

A fierce battle suddenly broke out inside the main hall.

Although the Fire Slaves were numerous, they posed no significant threat to Zi Yan and Cai Lin.

The purple-gold fist shadows intertwined with the nine-colored light, and wherever they passed, the fire slaves scattered.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the fire slaves in the main hall were cleared out.

The fiery dragon, formed from sheer power, exploded with a bang under Zi Yan's punch.

"call----"

Zi Yan let out a breath and shook her slightly numb fist: "These fire slaves—they're pretty tough."

Cai Lin didn't reply. She walked to the next door at the end of the main hall and slapped it out with her palm.

"boom!"

The palace gate shattered in response.

However-

The moment the palace gate shattered, a massive, blood-red axe-like beam of light suddenly cleaved out from behind the gate without warning!

The axe light stretched for thousands of feet, its entire body blood-red, exuding a strong bloody aura, as if it were formed from countless drops of blood.

Wherever the axe's light passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing a pitch-black void.

The power of this axe was astonishing; even Cai Lin, a five-star Dou Sheng, felt a faint sense of danger!

"Um?!"

With a cold glint in her narrow phoenix eyes, Cai Lin was about to make her move.

"How dare you! You actually launched a sneak attack!"

Zi Yan, standing nearby, had already made her move first!

With a delicate shout, she slammed her purple-gold fist toward the crimson axe light!

"boom-!!!"

The fist and axe collided, unleashing a deafening roar!

The crimson axe light shattered like glass under Zi Yan's punch, eventually dissipating completely.

But Zi Yan's fist continued its relentless momentum!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud came from behind the door, followed by a series of thumping footsteps on the ground, causing the entire hall to tremble.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the women finally saw what was behind the door.

There were no other fire slaves in this hall.

Only one gaunt figure stood quietly in the center of the hall.

The man had a cold face and indifferent eyes, and held a huge blood-red battle axe in his hand.

On the battle axe, there was a delicate fist imprint.

"This fire slave—is a little different."

Zi Yan crossed her arms, one small hand stroking her chin, and looked the gaunt figure up and down: "He seems to—still retain some intelligence?"

She could sense that this "fire slave" was different from the other fire slaves who had completely lost their minds.

Although his eyes were indifferent, they were not entirely empty.

Just then, the gaunt figure glanced coldly at the women and raised the blood-red giant axe in his hand once more.

A powerful aura emanated from him, sweeping through the entire hall like a storm.

Blood-red light condensed once more on the axe blade.

"You still dare to make a move?"

Zi Yan's eyes turned cold, and she was about to make a move when she was pulled back by a hand from behind.

"Sister Xun'er?"

Zi Yan turned around and looked back, her eyes full of confusion.

Xun'er shook her head at her, her gaze falling on a strange line between the brows of the gaunt figure, a faint smile appearing on her lips: "Did you see that line between his brows?"

Xun'er pointed to the thin figure's forehead and explained softly, "That's the Xiao clan's crest."

"He is the Senior Xiao Chen that Brother Xiao Bai mentioned."

"Xiao Chen?!"

Upon hearing this, the girls suddenly understood.

So this is Xiao Xuan's cousin, the Xiao Clan's Battle Saint who has been missing for a thousand years!

Just then, the blood-red giant axe in Xiao Chen's hand had reached its peak.

Blood gleamed on the axe blade, as if it were about to strike again.

"Senior Xiao Chen, if you don't wake up now, when will you?!"

Xun'er gave a sharp shout and raised her arm.

Her sleeve slipped down, revealing her fair, white wrist.

A seemingly ordinary bracelet came into view.

Purple lightning flashed across the bracelet.

"Buzz"

A wisp of purple lightning flew out from the bracelet, tearing through space and instantly disappearing into Xiao Chen's brow!

"Well----"

Xiao Chen's body jolted violently!

His aura suddenly froze, the purple light and milky white light in his eyes clashed fiercely, and a look of struggle appeared on his face.

"Xiao Chen—?"

He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and broken: "Who—am I?"

"I am—Xiao Chen—"

"Xiao Clan — Xiao Chen —"

As the purple lightning penetrated deeper, the milky white light in Xiao Chen's eyes was gradually obscured by the purple radiance.

Those eyes, which had been indifferent, gradually regained their liveliness.

final-

"I am Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen of the Xiao Clan!"

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

His gaze fell on Xun'er, and when he saw the ancient clan mark on her forehead, Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "You are—a member of the ancient clan?"

Xun'er clasped her hands in a respectful but not arrogant gesture.

"Gu Xun'er of the Ancient Clan greets Senior Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen nodded, his gaze slowly sweeping over the women.

He paused, especially on Zi Yan and Cai Lin.

These two people gave him the feeling that they were very strong!

The immense energy within him made even him feel a little uneasy!

"You—have come for the Pure Lotus Demon Flame?"

Xiao Chen spoke slowly, his voice still hoarse, but clear again.

"Pure Lotus Demon Flame—"

Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded and then shook her head.

Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused about what this ancient clan girl meant.

What does "yes and no" mean?

At this moment, Cai Lin stepped forward and stood beside Xun'er.

A hint of arrogance flashed across her cold, beautiful face: "My husband sent us in simply so that we could experience the Demon Flame Space and gain some experience."

"As for the Pure Lotus Demon Flame—whether or not we can obtain it is irrelevant."

"Experience? Gain?"

Xiao Chen's face stiffened, and his lips twitched a few times.

He had lived for over a thousand years and had never heard of anyone sending someone to the Demon Flame Space not for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but rather to "gain experience and gain knowledge"!

Do you really think this is some kind of virtuous place?!

"Your husband—he's really carefree."

Xiao Chen shook his head speechlessly, his voice still hoarse: "For the sake of you waking me up, go back the way you came in."

"The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is too strange. Although you are quite strong, you may not be its match."

He spoke very sincerely.

After all, he had been trapped here for over a thousand years and knew all too well the terror of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

"Hey, old man, who do you think you are!"

Seeing that he looked down on her, Zi Yan was immediately displeased. She jumped forward, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Do you believe that if that Pure Lotus Demon Flame dares to show itself, I'll smash its head in?!"

Xiao Chen: "————"

He looked at the arrogant purple-haired girl in front of him and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, Senior Xiao Chen."

Xun'er patted Zi Yan's ponytail and smiled sweetly: "Brother Xiao Bai dared to send us in, of course it's no problem."

"Xiao Bai?"

Xiao Chen frowned: "Surname Xiao? Could you be a descendant of my Xiao clan?"

He did not believe that anyone with the surname Xiao was a member of the Xiao clan.

But if a female Dou Sheng from an ancient clan can call him "brother," then Xiao Bai must also be a Dou Sheng.

And such a young Dou Sheng is very likely a member of the Xiao clan.

"Senior Xiao Chen guessed correctly."

Xun'er covered her mouth and smiled. When she mentioned that name, her gaze softened a bit: "Although Brother Xiao Bai does not have the blood of the Xiao clan, he has a very close relationship with the Xiao family."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.

How could someone reach the Dou Sheng level at such a young age without the bloodline of the Xiao clan?

Moreover—how could it be so highly praised by the proud daughter of an ancient clan?

Who exactly is this Xiao Bai?

Just as he was wondering, "Uh—"

Xiao Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he clutched his head with both hands, his face showing pain.

In their eyes, a milky white light reappeared, clashing fiercely with the purple light.

"not good----"

He gritted his teeth, his voice broken and intermittent: "It—it's here—"

"You guys—be careful—"

The words had barely left his mouth when a loud "Buzz—!!!"

In the void, countless milky-white fire lines appeared out of thin air, spreading like a spider web and instantly enveloping the entire hall.

Immediately afterwards, the ground and sky simultaneously erupted with a dazzling milky white light.

Two enormous flame formations, each with a diameter exceeding tens of thousands of feet, appeared out of thin air!

The formation rotated, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

The scene inside the main hall began to distort and change violently.

"This is----"

The women's expressions changed, as if the scene before them was rippling like water.

The next moment—

An endless sea of ​​lava came into view.

The scalding magma surged and roared, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

"Welcome to my world."

A clear yet cold voice echoed above the sea of ​​lava: "Since you're here—then stay forever."

"Become my — Fire Slave."
