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

Chapter 237 Demonic Energy Surges, Revival!

Gu Yuan frowned and asked, "What exactly is this thing?"

Standing to the side, Zhu Kun shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, but I can sense an extremely terrifying presence within. I sense danger!"

"Me too!" Gu Yuan's expression was somewhat solemn.

Zhu Kun said, "I have never heard of such a seal before. The energy emanating from the array patterns on it is probably the aura left behind by a Dou Di from ten thousand years ago!"

Gu Yuandao asked, "How could an ancient Dou Di leave a seal here? And how powerful must something be that requires a Dou Di's seal?"

Zhu Kun said worriedly, "The power on these array patterns has been worn away by time, but I seem to sense a familiar power."

"Has someone been here?" Gu Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Kun said, "Let's leave here first."

Gu Yuan glanced at the seal, then nodded and said, "We need to go back first and tell the other clan leaders about the seal here!"

The two then turned and left.

Shortly after the two left, the seal trembled once more.

The bright array patterns trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible crack appeared, from which wisps of black demonic energy emanated.

After leaving the sealed land, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun returned to the Imperial City and notified the patriarchs of the Yan and Lei clans to come for a meeting.

Before long, Lei Ying of the Lei Clan and Yan Jin of the Yan Clan arrived at the Imperial City.

As Lei Ying and Yan Jin entered the main hall, they saw Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun with solemn expressions and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two?"

"You look so worried, could it be that Soul Emperor has been resurrected again?" Lei Ying joked.

Gu Yuan looked at the two and said, "I'm afraid they're even more troublesome than the Soul Emperor!"

Lei Ying and Yan Jin were no longer in the mood for jokes and asked seriously, "What exactly happened?"

Zhu Kun said, "Let me explain!"

"Not long ago, the two of us went to the Desolate Ancient Domain. There, we sensed a chilling aura, somewhat like that of the Soul Clan, but far more malevolent!"

"Even if Gu Yuan and I wanted to destroy that power, it would take us a lot of effort."

Lei Ying's expression changed drastically. "How could this be? What exactly is the origin of that energy?"

Yan Jin also said, "Yes, how come we didn't notice this before? Could it be related to the Soul Clan?"

Zhu Kun shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. This energy is suppressed deep underground, and the array patterns used to suppress it are a seal left by a Dou Di from ten thousand years ago!"

Yan Jin said in shock, "A Dou Di seal from ten thousand years ago? What could possibly require a Dou Di to seal?"

Gu Yuan then said, "What's even more terrifying is that the Dou Di aura within those array patterns doesn't seem to come from just one Dou Di, but from several!"

"Therefore, we are not sure whether it was sealed by several Dou Di together, or whether it was sealed in succession after becoming Dou Di."

"Whether it's the former or the latter, once the evil energy within the seal is released, it could be a disaster for Zhongzhou and the entire Dou Qi Continent!"

Yan Jin asked, "Could the seal be weakening?"

"The seal seems to be fine, but Brother Zhukun and I heard some noises coming from underground, so we went down to check. We suspect there might be a problem with the seal, so we called you all here to discuss it!" Gu Yuan said.

Lei Ying said, "Just tell us what you need us to do!"

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun exchanged a glance, then said, "The seal needs to be strengthened, so we are preparing to summon the Dou Sheng elders of our clan!"

"No problem, we'll go back to the clan immediately and summon the elders," Yan Jin and Lei Ying said simultaneously.

The two then got up and returned to their clan.

Gu Yuan said, "Should we inform Jiahe about this?"

"He is still cultivating inside the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave, and we probably cannot inform him!" Zhu Kun said.

Gu Yuan said, "Then let's each return to our clans and gather our forces!"

Zhu Kun responded, "Let's go!"

As soon as Zhu Kun stepped out of the gate, he saw a pretty figure standing there.

Zi Yan looked at Zhu Kun and asked, "Is something else about to happen?"

Zhu Kun gently stroked Zi Yan's head and chuckled, "This time, your father didn't do anything despicable. I'm doing this for the future of our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"

Zi Yan's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at Zhu Kun and said, "If you don't come back again, I'll never speak to you again!"

Zhu Kun laughed and said, "My dear daughter, just because of what you said, I will definitely come back. Besides, I'm also waiting to see you and Jiahe get married!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan blushed instantly and glared at Zhu Kun, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Zhu Kun pursed his lips and said, "My dear daughter, this won't do. If you like someone, just say it out loud. That way, we can be the rightful queen in the future."

"Besides, you didn't see your mother's style back then. She was so persistent in pursuing me that I finally had no choice but to be with her. You should learn from your mother!" Zhu Kun said with a touch of arrogance.

Zi Yan snorted and said, "Is that so? Then swear it!"

"What oath?" Zhu Kun asked, slightly taken aback.

Zi Yan said, "You swear that back then, it was you who relentlessly pursued me, not the other way around!"

Zhu Kun's expression changed, and he coughed twice, saying, "Uh, daughter, I have to go back and get reinforcements. Go quickly and see if Jiahe has woken up yet!"

Having said that, Zhu Kun turned around, tore through space, and left.

Zi Yan pouted and snorted, "You old lecher, all you do is talk about my mother."

Zi Yan then turned and left, preparing to travel to the Northwest Continent to accompany Jia He in his cultivation at the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave.

"Hehe, Dad said that persistence works, I'll give it a try!" Zi Yan's heavenly laughter slowly dissipated into the air.

Half a month later.

The Ancient Clan, the Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan—these four major forces are now virtually unstoppable on the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Today, the Dou Sheng powerhouses from the four races have gathered in the Desolate Ancient Domain.

"I'm sure you all know what we're here for today. I'll take you to the sealed land shortly!" Gu Yuan said.

Everyone nodded slightly, their expressions solemn.

Soon, led by Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, the group arrived at the Ancient Domain Platform in the center of the Desolate Ancient Domain.

"The seal is located underground. If you find anything amiss, evacuate immediately!" Zhu Kun reminded everyone.

Seeing that everyone responded, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun took the lead and rushed towards the sealed area below the Ancient Domain Platform.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Just then, three muffled sounds suddenly came from underground.

Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan, who were at the forefront, immediately became serious.

"The sound is coming from underground!"

"It seems somewhat like an impact?"

"Could it be that something inside the seal is trying to break it?"

Thinking about this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun looked even more grim.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The sound of the previous impact came again.

Gu Yuan stopped and turned to Yan Jin and Lei Ying, saying, "You two stop here with your men. Brother Zhu Kun and I will go take another look!"

Lei Ying and Yan Jin nodded, while Zhu Kun followed Gu Yuan as they sped deeper into the earth.

In the silent passage, Zhu Kun frowned and said, "Something feels off!"

"Nothing should happen as long as the seal is still intact!" Gu Yuan said.

As soon as the two landed on the sealed area, they saw that the sealing formation was covered with cracks.

Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan's expressions changed drastically, and they shouted, "Retreat!"

boom!

Just then, a loud bang rang out from beneath the seal.

The seal is shattered!

Endless demonic energy surged forth from the depths of the earth.

Beneath the seal lies a pitch-black abyss.

A terrifying aura emanated from within, as if some horrific being had revived!

Upon hearing the roars of Zhu Kun and the other two from the underground, Lei Ying and Yan Jin's expressions changed immediately, and they led the Saints to tear through space and retreat.

Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan burst forth from the ground, followed by a surge of demonic energy that emanated a terrifying and evil aura.

The overwhelming demonic energy surged and raged, like a dark cloud covering the sky, which also turned dark and gloomy.

"What exactly is this demonic energy?" Lei Ying and Yan Jin murmured.
