Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 219 The Soul Emperor Arrives in Person!

Outside the ancient hall where the Jade of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was enshrined, Gu Yuan and his companions appeared.

Pushing open the ancient hall's doors, the group only saw the figure of an elder, and their hearts sank.

Gu Lie asked in a deep voice, "Gu Xi, where is Elder Gu Yang?"

Gu Xi was surprised that the clan leader had come in person, so he stood up respectfully and said, "Clan leader, Black Annihilation King, Elder Gu Yang had some matters to attend to and had to leave!"

Gu Lie frowned immediately: "Could it be that they escaped?"

Gu Yuan looked at the ancient jade of Tuoshe on the high platform and said, "If he really is a spy for the Soul Clan, then his target must be the ancient jade of Tuoshe. Now that the jade hasn't been taken away, he won't leave!"

"Unless he doesn't want the ancient jade, he might take a gamble!"

Gu Dao nodded slightly: "So, now, shall we search for the ancient sheep?"

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "No need. With the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range sealed off, he can't escape even if he wanted to!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of footsteps was heard.

"Clan leader, elders, what brings you to the ancestral hall today?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone looked towards the outside of the hall, where they saw Gu Yang walking in leisurely.

Gu Lie and Gu Dao stared intently at Gu Yang, but they didn't notice anything amiss.

Gu Yuan also looked at Gu Yang, and a powerful soul force suddenly emanated from Gu Yuan's body, sweeping towards Gu Yang.

Jiahe, standing to the side, sensed the terrifying soul power emanating from Gu Yuan, which was not much inferior to his own Emperor-level soul.

"As expected of the patriarch of the ancient clan, with a half-step Dou Di and a Divine Realm soul, he is much stronger than the Great Sage of the Yellow Springs!" Jiahe thought to himself.

Although Huang Quan Dasheng was also an Emperor Realm Soul and a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Jiahe could sense that Huang Quan Dasheng was still a step below Gu Yuan!

Jiahe could also tell from Gu Yuan's strength that Soul Emperor was no weaker than Gu Yuan.

Once locked onto by Gu Yuan's terrifying soul power, Gu Yang's body froze on the spot, not daring to make the slightest movement.

At this critical moment, Gu Yuan's soul force suddenly grazed Gu Yang's side and blasted towards the sky.

puff!

A dense black mist clashed directly with Gu Yuan's soul power, shattering the surrounding space as if a mirror had broken.

Gu Yuan vanished from the ancient hall in an instant, but his calm voice resounded like thunder in everyone's hearts: "Soul Emperor, now that you're here, why hide?"

Gu Lie was startled, then said in a deep voice, "Take down Gu Yang!"

In an instant, inside the ancient hall, Gu Dao and Gu Lie made their moves simultaneously, while the other elders sealed off the entire ancestral hall.

Gu Yang's expression changed drastically. He stomped his foot hard on the floor, causing cracks to appear, and flew backward. He formed hand seals and let out a strange laugh, saying, "Hehehe, the clan leader has come in person. It's time to take away the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!"

Suddenly, strange runes appeared on Gu Yang's body, and an extremely violent aura emanated from him.

Gu Lie's expression changed drastically: "He's going to self-destruct! Protect the ancient jade!"

"You only just realized it now? Too late!" Gu Yang sneered, then exploded with a bang!

boom!

At the same time, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade on the high platform also emitted a dazzling light.

Gu Lie and Gu Dao led many elders in forming hand seals to protect the ancestral hall from being destroyed, but they failed to notice that Gu Yang's self-destruction was merely a means to an end.

A pale white soul emerged from a corner of the ancestral hall, its target being the ancient Emperor Tuoshe!

Jiahe watched Gu Yang make his move, but it was impossible for him to take the ancient jade away in front of him at this moment!

"Have you forgotten me?" Jiahe's teasing voice rang in Gu Yang's ears.

Gu Yang looked at Jia He in horror, only to see Jia He strike with a palm, his terrifying battle aura instantly shredding Gu Yang's soul.

puff!

The self-destruction of the five-star Dou Sheng left Gu Lie, Gu Dao, and other elders somewhat disheveled. However, when they saw that Jia He had stopped Gu Yang's hidden attack and protected Gu Yu, they were extremely grateful!

"Thank you for your help, young friend. Otherwise, this ancient jade would probably have been taken away by that traitor Gu Yang!" Gu Lie said, clasping his hands in thanks.

"It's no big deal!" Gahe waved his hand and said.

Although the ancestral hall was not destroyed, it was in a dilapidated state. Through the broken roof, one could see ripples spreading across the void.

"Gu Yuan, it's been many years, and you're still as cautious as ever!" A light laugh echoed from the horizon.

A gray-white figure emerged from the void, with a handsome face, resembling a scholar, and appeared calm and composed.

The Soul Emperor stood in the void, his gaze fixed on the ancestral hall. He could sense the death of the ancient sheep and sighed softly, "The ancient jade of the ancient clan is truly difficult to obtain!"

"As expected, it's related to you. Your Soul Clan's schemes are truly impressive!" Gu Yuan said coldly.

"The clan has been plotting for thousands of years, but in the end, something unexpected still happened!" Hun Tiandi said casually, his extremely calm eyes suddenly sweeping over Jiahe.

Jiahe met Soul Emperor's gaze. Although Soul Emperor's gaze was calm, it was filled with an icy coldness devoid of emotion.

A smile crept across Jiahe's lips as he looked at the Soul Emperor without fear.

"Little one, standing on the opposite side of the Soul Clan is not a good choice!" the Soul Emperor suddenly said calmly.

Gah said, "Is that so? Why not say that the Soul Clan is on the opposite side of me?"

The Soul Emperor was slightly taken aback, while Gu Yuan chuckled from the side, "Young friend Jiahe is quite right. Rather than saying we're on the opposite side of the Soul Clan, it's more accurate to say the Soul Clan is on the opposite side of us!"

The Soul Emperor chuckled and said, "Very well, regardless of the circumstances, my Soul Clan will remember this. From now on, if we meet again, we will be mortal enemies!"

"By the way, the Soul Palace was destroyed by the Imperial Prison. The Imperial Prison must give the Soul Clan an explanation!" The Soul Emperor gave Jiahe a meaningful look before disappearing into the void.

As Gahe watched the Soul Emperor's figure disappear, he frowned slightly.

Gu Yuan returned to Jia He's side and said, "If the Soul Clan sets their sights on the Imperial Prison, things could get complicated!"

Jiahe looked at Gu Yuan and smiled, "This is indeed a bit troublesome. Clan Chief Gu Yuan, would you be willing to do me a favor?"

"What are you busy with?" Gu Yuan asked.

"I'm going to enter the Heavenly Tomb!" Gahe said.

Gu Yuan didn't hesitate and nodded slightly, saying, "Alright, the Xiao Clan should have two spots anyway. Xiao Yan will take one, and the remaining one is yours!"

Gu Lie and the others standing behind the ancestral hall had no objections to Gu Yuan's decision.

After all, Jiahe had helped the ancient race a lot with the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade this time.

Moreover, for the ancient race, it is good news that Jiahe has entered the Heavenly Tomb with his strength.

The events at the ancestral hall were quickly covered up by the Black Annihilation Army of the Ancient Clan. Only the brief exchange between Gu Yuan and the Soul Emperor was noticed by many powerful figures in the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.

On a mountain peak in the mountains.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er sat on a boulder. When they sensed that terrifying aura from before, their expressions became somewhat solemn.

Xun'er said, "It's in the direction of the ancient clan's ancestral hall; I can feel my father's presence there!"

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback and said, "Clan Chief Gu Yuan has made a move?"

"It should be, but who would make Father intervene?" Xun'er asked, puzzled and shocked.

Xun'er was well aware of her father's strength, unless it was someone of equal strength.

"Could they be from the Soul Clan?" Xiao Yan guessed.

Xun'er said, "Perhaps. Besides the ceremony, we also need to enter the Heavenly Tomb. The Soul Clan is also included. Brother Xiao Yan, you must be careful when you enter the Heavenly Tomb."

"I understand, but there's still a tough battle to fight tomorrow!" Xiao Yan chuckled.

Xun'er blushed slightly and looked at Xiao Yan, solemnly instructing him, "Brother Xiao Yan, you must be careful of Gu Yao tomorrow. This person is an eight-star Dou Zun, and if he awakens his bloodline power tomorrow, his strength will probably be no weaker than a nine-star Dou Zun!"

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be careful tomorrow!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The once silent Ancient Sacred Mountains have regained their daytime human presence and are gradually becoming bustling again.

Today is the grand hall for the ancient tribe's coming-of-age ceremony, which takes place once every twenty years and is the most important ceremony for the tribe.

Jiahe, along with Xiao Yixian and the others, as well as Xiao Yan and Xun'er, arrived outside the ancient square where the ceremony was to be held.

Black Annihilation Army warriors, clad in black armor, stood around the plaza, exuding a powerful aura.

Xiao Yan said with some surprise, "The aura of this batch of Black Annihilation Army soldiers seems even stronger today?"

Xun'er said, "Perhaps it's related to what happened at the ancestral hall yesterday."

The Imperial Prison had an invitation from the ancient clan, so under Xun'er's guidance, they arrived at the special area ahead.

Because of Jiahe's presence, the ancient clans did not make things difficult for Xiao Yan.

Shortly after everyone sat down, Gahe heard a burst of laughter: "Little fellow, I'm not late, am I?"

Turning around, I saw that it was Dean Mang Tianchi who had arrived with several members of the Lei Clan.
