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

Chapter 238 The Dead Soul Emperor is Reborn in Another Body!

A vast, overwhelming demonic aura surged into the sky, filled with a chilling aura.

Even though Gu Yuan and the others were all at the Dou Sheng level, they still felt an aura of death within this demonic energy.

"Retreat, keep retreating! This demonic energy is terrifying!" Gu Yuan said.

The group quickly retreated towards the edge of the desolate ancient domain.

The demonic energy surged forth, quickly engulfing the entire desolate ancient domain.

Looking at the ancient domain shrouded in demonic energy, Gu Yuan said to Zhu Kun, "The Soul Clan's Soul Realm is still within the desolate ancient domain, and now such terrifying demonic energy has emerged. I am extremely uneasy!"

"This demonic energy is different from the Soul Clan's aura, so it shouldn't have any impact. Moreover, this demonic energy is currently only enveloping the Desolate Ancient Domain and shows no signs of dissipating outwards!" Zhu Kun said.

Lei Ying asked, "What do we do now?"

Yan Jin asked, "We don't know what this demonic energy is yet, why don't we try using a different kind of fire?"

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up. This demonic energy carried a surging deathly aura, so it should be extremely afraid of innate things like fire.

The strange fire is born from heaven and earth, and is an innate fire. It is effective against the Soul Clan, and may also be effective against this demonic energy.

"We can give it a try!" Gu Yuan said.

The Yan Clan possesses a unique, inherited flame, as do the Ancient Clan.

Therefore, the Yan Clan summoned Huo Xuan, Huo Zhi, and Huo Yao, while the Gu Clan summoned Xun'er and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan, who was in seclusion, never expected that the Desolate Ancient Domain would become like this.

The black demonic energy turned the entire desolate ancient domain into a silent death zone, which was extremely terrifying.

Yan Jin looked at Huo Xuan and the others and said, "This demonic energy is strange. If anything seems amiss, retreat immediately without delay, understand?"

Huo Xuan and the others nodded. Before the demonic energy of this desolate ancient domain, they all felt that terrifying aura, which blocked the flow of energy within their bodies.

Boom boom boom!

Flames erupted from the bodies of Yan Jin and the other members of the Yan Clan, with several different kinds of strange flames reflecting each other and radiating a powerful fire attribute.

Xun'er and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, and golden and cyan flames surged forth from their bodies as well.

When the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame appeared, all the strange flames except for Yan Jin's flames showed a slight intention of submission towards Xun'er.

"As expected of the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Flame, his strength is indeed formidable!" Huo Xuan said softly.

The crimson lotus flames swirled before Huo Zhi, and when his arrogant gaze turned toward Xun'er, he also showed a hint of defeat.

Immediately, the group activated their internal fire and frantically rushed towards the demonic energy.

Chi Chi Chi!

The moment the strange fire and the demonic energy came into contact, a hissing sound rang out.

The demonic energy at the edge of the desolate ancient domain was constantly being eroded by the strange fire.

However, before the surprise on their faces could fully unfold, even more demonic energy surged from the depths of the desolate ancient domain.

The strange fire could not advance an inch, and the demonic energy did not seem to exceed the boundaries of the desolate ancient domain.

After a stalemate lasting half a day, Xun'er and the others all turned pale.

Yan Jin instructed everyone to withdraw their strange fires, and said to Gu Yuan and the others with a slightly grim expression, "No, this kind of demonic energy is truly terrifying, and it seems to be consciously protecting its territory!"

"If that's really the case, then there might actually be some terrifying being that has resurfaced within this desolate ancient domain!" Gu Yuan said.

Zhu Kun said in a deep voice, "Even if we knew, we still couldn't break through this demonic energy to enter the Desolate Ancient Domain!"

The group gathered outside the desolate ancient domain, but they were powerless against this powerful demonic energy.

In the heart of the desolate ancient domain lies the Ancient Domain Platform.

A thick, dark shadow emerged from the ground, carrying a dozen drops of black liquid, gradually transforming into a human figure.

"After tens of thousands of years, I have finally emerged!" The black figure let out a sinister laugh.

A faint wisp of soul appeared in the black figure's palm.

"What a powerful soul! What a pity. I will help you realize your dream of unifying the continent and ascending to the supreme position!" The black figure opened its mouth and swallowed the faint soul.

A dozen drops of black blood instantly enveloped the Soul Emperor's soul, gradually emitting a shrill scream.

Rumble!

The demonic energy continuously merged into the black blood, fusing the soul of the Soul Emperor with it.

The dark figure glanced beyond the desolate ancient domain, its crimson eyes gleaming with greed: "What a fine meal! Once I recover, I'll definitely have a good feast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark figure darted directly into the abyss within the Ancient Domain Platform.

Peace has returned to the desolate ancient domain.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yuan and the others dispatched Dou Sheng experts to monitor the Desolate Ancient Domain day and night.

However, after several months, the Desolate Ancient Domain does not seem to have changed at all.

Zhu Kun sat in the main hall and looked at Gu Yuan, saying, "Jiahe is still in seclusion in the cave of the ancient Tuoshe Emperor, and there is no sign of him waking up."

"Right now, we can only hope that the things in the Desolate Ancient Domain will not revive for the time being, and that we will at least have to wait until a Dou Di reappears on the Dou Qi Continent!" Gu Yuan said.

Meanwhile, the old ancestor of the Pill Tower said, "The refining of Emperor Pills is already extremely difficult, let alone advancing to the Dou Di realm with the help of Emperor-grade pills."

"This training process might last a year, several years, or even decades; we can't guarantee it won't. We can't place all our hopes on Gahe!"

Lei Ying said, "But among everyone here, only Clan Chief Gu Yuan and Senior Zhu Kun have a chance of qualifying for the Dou Di realm, and we lack Origin Qi!"

Zhu Kun then looked at Gu Yuan and said, "That Xiao Yan who cultivates in the Ancient Clan seems to have cultivated a technique that allows him to fuse with different kinds of flames?"

Gu Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, what's wrong?"

"Perhaps, the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe had other contingency plans, and Xiao Yan is the one who was chosen by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe in legend!" Zhu Kun said.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, none of them knew as much about Emperor Tuoshe as Zhukun did.

Zhu Kun said, "We must let him try. Also, any member of the Yan Clan, anyone with even a connection to fire, can try before the statue of Emperor Tuoshe!"

Yan Jin nodded and said, "I'll make the arrangements immediately."

Soon, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and a group of young members of the Yan Clan, as well as several elders including Fairy Huo Ling, were gathered in front of the statue of Emperor Tuoshe.

On the massive Strange Flame Plaza, before the towering stone statue, everyone felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from the Dou Di!

Everyone bowed respectfully to the stone statue and then summoned their respective flames.

boom!

The intense heat filled the Strange Fire Plaza, and the faint strange fires on the stone pillars showed signs of revival.

A tremor suddenly came from within the stone statue, and a strange power slowly emanated from it.

A soft light suddenly refracted from the stone statue and enveloped everyone.

That terrifying power suppressed Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and other nine-star Dou Sheng to the ground.

Even the residual power of a Dou Di is not something a Nine-Star Dou Sheng can withstand.

Although Zhu Kun was dissatisfied, he still needed the inheritance of Emperor Tuoshe at this critical juncture, so he endured it!

Only Xiao Yan remained standing, unaffected by anything.

Emperor Tuoshe still chose Xiao Yan as his successor.

After a period of confusion, Xiao Yan, with the explanation of Gu Yuan and others, chose to enter the ancient emperor's stone statue to receive the inheritance.

After Xiao Yan entered the stone statue to receive the inheritance, everyone felt a sense of anticipation.

Now, both Jiahe and Xiao Yan have the hope of advancing to Dou Di. As long as one of them becomes an emperor, then perhaps this calamity will truly be resolved!

Of course, they placed their hopes on Jiahe, even though the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe had a legacy, Xiao Yan's cultivation level was still somewhat low.

Time passed, and a full year had gone by since Xiao Yan entered the stone statue to receive the inheritance.

Boom!Boom!

Within the desolate ancient domain, the thumping sound echoed once more.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun arrived outside the Desolate Ancient Domain, their expressions grave. "Recently, these vibrations have become more and more frequent."

"It's a race against time now. Hopefully, fate will be on our side in the end!" Gu Yuan sighed.

Just then, boom!

A deafening sound emanated from the desolate ancient domain, and a pillar of demonic energy soared into the sky.

"Hehehe! That damned Dou Di wants to seal me? Absolutely not!" A maniacal laugh echoed from the Desolate Ancient Domain.

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Yuan's expression changed drastically: "This...this is the voice of the Soul Emperor?"
