Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 514 Soul Gathering, Giant Supplement

At that moment, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Venerable. Without hesitation, he leaped off the void, his figure retreating like an arrow released from a bow.

But in an instant, its trajectory changed, like an out-of-control meteorite, carrying destructive power, it crashed straight into the ground, where the Lion Nether Sect's Dou Zun were unable to move due to serious injuries.

"You defeated remnants, use your lives as stepping stones to my power!" The voice of the Nine Heavens Venerable was as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion.

His blue figure suddenly transformed into an extremely thick black mist. The black mist spread rapidly as if it were alive, instantly enveloping the dozen or so Lion Nether Sect Dou Zun around him, attempting to devour their souls and power as well.

Faced with the Nine Heavens Venerable's almost insane actions, Xiao Yan not only did not accelerate his pursuit to stop his conspiracy to increase his strength, but instead stopped and stood steadily in the void.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth, a smile that contained both sarcasm for the ruthlessness of the Nine Heavens Venerable and deep disdain for the Soul Palace's system that regarded emotions as a burden.

"People of the Soul Palace, in your world, emotions have become a burden. How pathetic and lamentable..."

Xiao Yan spoke softly, but his voice, though gentle, struck the hearts of everyone from the Lion Nether Sect present like a heavy hammer.

This makes one wonder whether true power and strength should be built upon sacrifice and betrayal.

"Heh, emotions? Those are nothing but dust discarded by the world..." The Nine Heavens Venerable sneered, his voice tinged with smugness and disdain. "And I merely exercised that 'right' ahead of time, dealing with this bunch of trash!"

After he finished speaking, the abyssal black mist surrounding him suddenly expanded, like a night curtain being stretched open by an invisible hand, instantly covering dozens of times its original area.

A chilling and eerie aura emanated from the black mist, as if the gates of hell had been flung open, unleashing endless despair and death.

As this eerie aura spread, the power of many Dou Zun in the Lion Nether Sect was violently torn apart.

Then came a series of chilling explosions. Countless lives were eroded into blood mist by this force, and the ground was stained a shocking crimson, like a living hell.

The sudden betrayal by the Nine Heavens Venerable greatly alarmed the Lion Nether Sect members.

"Damn it! What are you doing?! What about our agreement?!" The heavily injured Lion Sky barely mustered a bit of strength and roared furiously.

He never expected that the Nine Heavens Venerable would be so ruthless towards his own ally!

However, the Nine Heavens Venerable, who had transformed into black mist, merely conjured a human face in front of Lion Heaven, his eyes cold as ice. In the blink of an eye, the black mist rapidly gathered towards Lion Heaven's location.

In an instant, with a loud "bang," Lion Sky's roar came to an abrupt halt. His body exploded in the astonished gazes of the crowd, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the surrounding black mist crimson.

This scene turned the faces of the surviving Lion Nether Sect experts deathly pale, a mixture of fear and rage coursing through their expressions.

Although they hated the actions of the Nine Heavens Venerable to the core, they knew they were powerless to resist.

The remaining powerful members of the Lion Nether Sect were immediately enveloped by an invisible fear, plunging them into unprecedented chaos and despair.

It devoured all the seriously injured members of the Lion Nether Sect, and the blood-red mist returned to pure black, a terrifying black that seemed capable of devouring all light!

As the colors gradually returned, the raging black mist rippled with delicate waves, then contracted rapidly, finally coalescing into the cold, human form of the Nine Heavens Venerable.

He stared at Xiao Yan, a complex and unreadable smile playing on his lips, a smile that contained both pride and a hint of barely perceptible weariness.

"No matter how exquisite your fighting skills and secret techniques are, in the face of an absolute gap in strength, you are ultimately just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and you will only become a laughing stock."

The words of the Nine Heavens Venerable revealed an undeniable confidence.

He knew that although the secret method to enhance strength was powerful, absorbing the enormous energy of more than ten Dou Zun at once would be a huge burden, even if these Dou Zun were already seriously injured.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, he swung his hand out suddenly, like the scythe of death, pointing directly at Xiao Yan.

As the palm struck, the surrounding space seemed to be twisted and violently distorted by an invisible hand, releasing a chilling spatial fluctuation.

Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Xiao Yan neither dodged nor evaded. He slowly spread his arms, like the vast sky that encompasses all things, allowing the Nine Heavens Venerable's offensive to surge in like a tidal wave.

"Is this what you call ultimate power?" His voice was calm and firm, revealing a detachment from life and death.

"Even facing death, he remains so arrogant!" Upon seeing this, the Nine Heavens Venerable's eyes flashed with anger, but more so with surprise and apprehension at Xiao Yan's composure.

However, Xiao Yan merely smiled slightly, his sword wings suddenly unfurling, a dazzling light piercing the sky, accompanied by an aura that shook the world, causing the entire heaven and earth to tremble.

"I return those words to you verbatim!" Xiao Yan's voice resounded through the sky, filled with unwavering confidence in victory and fearless challenge to a formidable foe.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan, who showed no reaction, still had the ability to launch a counterattack, the Nine Heavens Venerable was immediately taken aback, his brows furrowing.

Finally, disregarding his own situation, he immediately unleashed the power he had absorbed to its fullest potential.

"Xiao Yan, don't mistake me for one of those useless trash from the Lion Nether Sect. Today, I'm determined to take your powerful Xiao family bloodline!"

A sinister and chilling voice, carrying a terrifying pressure, spread across the sky!

Looking at the Nine Heavens Venerable whose aura suddenly surged, Xiao Yan knew that the strength of this Soul Palace Venerable had already surpassed the level of a peak Dou Zun expert.

Of course, this does not mean that the Nine Heavens Venerable has reached the level of a half-saint.

The Soul Palace's secret techniques and the dozen or so Great Remnant Battle Venerables of the Lion Nether Sect are far from sufficient to make such a leap.

The difference between the peak of Dou Zun and the Half-Saint is only one step, but that step is like a chasm between heaven and earth. The gap between the two is terrifying and indescribable.

Previously, the Nine Heavens Venerable's strength was at the peak of the Seven Star Dou Zun level. Now, by using a secret technique, he pushed his strength to its peak, reaching the level of the peak of the First Turn Dou Zun.

As his aura surged, the Nine Heavens Venerable's body rapidly expanded.

Having devoured so many Dou Zun this time, gaining strength far exceeding his own realm, the aftereffects will undoubtedly be quite severe.

It is likely that in the next few years, his body will be on the verge of death.

In that state, even a mere fighter could easily kill him.
