Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

In this strange, misty land, eerie flames occasionally flicker in the distance, only to vanish in an instant. A deathly silence envelops this unfamiliar land.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

A sharp whistling sound grew louder as sixteen figures, enveloped in battle aura of various colors, crashed down onto the unfamiliar and desolate land like meteors. The slight dizziness from the spatial teleportation caused them to sway slightly, and their powerful battle auras surged out instinctively.

They were naturally the prodigies of the eight great Dou Di descendant families who had entered the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Yan landed, lightly touching the ground with his toes to absorb the impact and stand firmly. He quickly shook his head to dispel the brief dizziness caused by the spatial traversal, and immediately scanned his surroundings. The environment of this Heavenly Tomb was even more bizarre than he had imagined; from the surface alone, it did not resemble a blessed land hiding opportunities.

However, compared to exploring the Heavenly Tomb, the more important thing right now is to deal with the current situation, since the Heavenly Tomb Gate brought everyone here at once after it opened.

While the presence of powerful figures from various families outside the Heavenly Tomb prevents serious incidents, there are virtually no rules here. In the past, there have been instances of talented individuals entering the Heavenly Tomb only to perish within its walls.

"Brother Xiao Yan, usually after entering the Heavenly Tomb, people from different races usually act separately. Should we make our move now or retreat first?" Xun'er's concerned voice appeared in Xiao Yan's ears immediately, and she also quietly moved closer to Xiao Yan's side. No matter what decision Xiao Yan made, she could respond immediately.

At the same time, Huo Zhi and Lei Jingxiao both looked at Xiao Yan. Huo Zhi's gaze was more of a request for Xiao Yan's consent, since everyone now knew who Huo Zhi wanted to deal with.

Xiao Yan hasn't made up his mind yet, mainly because there are too many people from various families here, and if he takes action, the situation could easily spiral out of control.

The good news is that if they were to face the Soul Clan alone, without the others providing support, the four of them together would still have the advantage. As for the two from the Ancient Clan, it's still uncertain which side they will side with.

"Sister Huo Zhi," the black-robed man impersonating Huo Xuan stepped forward, a smile on his face, "This Heavenly Tomb is fraught with danger and unpredictability. Since we are both of the Yan Clan bloodline, why don't we travel together? That way, I can take good care of you."

"Shut up, you bastard!"

This provocation was incredibly effective on Huo Zhi; her barely restrained anger instantly overwhelmed her reason.

A raging crimson flame shot into the sky, transforming into beams of crimson light that enveloped Huo Xuan.

"Let's attack together, target Fire Strike!"

Seeing Huo Zhi's actions, Xiao Yan immediately sent a telepathic message to Xun'er and Lei Jingxiao. Now that Huo Zhi had made her move, why not try to kill Huo Xuan with swift and decisive means and see what the Soul Clan was really up to?

Huo Xuan gave a sly smile: "Good timing!"

The pale black Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame instantly surged forth, directly clashing with Huo Zhi's Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame. The two flames intertwined in an instant. Extremely violent flame energy erupted at the core of both flames, and terrifying waves of high temperature instantly spread outwards.

This commotion also put everyone else on the defensive, and the harmonious atmosphere of the Heavenly Tomb vanished instantly.

"Break it!"

With this roar, the black flames grew even more powerful, their destructive force overwhelming the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. The black flames pierced directly through the blood-red sea of ​​fire from the center.

Huo Xuan's five fingers surged with black flames, directly and coldly enveloping Huo Zhi's face. The impact of this clash with the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame was too strong. If it landed firmly, Huo Zhi would suffer severe damage even if he didn't die!

At this critical moment, a thunderous sound rang out, and the golden spear stood in front of Huo Zhi, colliding directly with the hand wreathed in black flames, the sound of metal clashing together ringing out crisply.

"clang!"

The raging lightning, carrying an aura of utter yang and absolute destructive power, fiercely clashed with the destructive power of the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame! The two equally domineering forces clashed violently. An even more terrifying energy ripple exploded once more, scraping away a layer from the strange ground beneath the sky!

The stalemate lasted only a brief moment.

"Hmph!" Lei Jingxiao grunted, his arm trembling violently. He and his gun were thrown back several steps by the destructive force, leaving two deep trenches in the ground before he could barely regain his footing.

Lei Jingxiao was the fastest to act, and then he turned back to add, "Sister Huo Zhi, I said I would definitely help you!"

Huo Xuan also staggered back two steps, but looking at the flame in his palm, he exclaimed in admiration, "This is a strange fire! How exhilarating!"

"Imposter, take this!" Lei Jingxiao roared.

He slammed his right hand hard on his spear, which then spun rapidly with lightning speed, hurtling towards Huo Xuan like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, lightning flashed from Lei Jingxiao's left-hand short gun, stabbing at Huo Xuan's vital points from above with extremely tricky aim.

Upon seeing this, Huo Xuan sneered. His black flames suddenly contracted, concentrating on a single point to directly confront Lei Jingxiao's Golden Thunder Spear.

"break!"

"Destroy!"

A series of booming sounds rang out, and Lei Jingxiao's all-out attack was once again forced back. After Lei Jingxiao sheathed his twin pistols, someone had already blocked his path between him and Huo Xuan.

Then, thick, dark chains, as thick as a child's arm, shot out in a massive, overwhelming manner. These chains were incredibly fast, carrying a chilling coldness and a strange power that eroded the soul. In an instant, they intertwined into a huge net that blotted out the sky, completely sealing off the space several feet around Lei Jingxiao!

"Thunder Clan brat, I'll play with you."

Lei Jingxiao snorted coldly: "What kind of person are you? Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is worth my attention."

"Remember this: it was Soul Cliff of the Soul Clan who defeated you!"

The black-robed figure, who called himself Soul Cliff, appeared and disappeared in the shadows of intertwined chains. His figure quickly darkened, and finally, a hideous ghost head phantom appeared.

A series of sharp screeching sounds erupted, the piercing and eerie cries constantly assaulting Lei Jingxiao's soul, making him feel a chill rising from the depths of his heart.

The sneak attack did catch Lei Jingxiao off guard for a moment, but he quickly began to wield his golden spear. Lightning poured from the spear tip like a waterfall, violently striking the encroaching black chain net.

The chains behind Soul Cliff seemed to fly endlessly without any restraint, and Lei Jingxiao knew from their exchange that his opponent was definitely a half-saint level expert. Furthermore, the Soul Clan's techniques and fighting skills were extremely unpredictable; he had only heard about them from his aunt, but had virtually no real combat experience with them.

It's impossible to defeat him in a short time and go to support Fire Child.
