Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 217: Despair-Inducing, Terrifyingly Powerful Soul Emperor

On an ocean formed by the convergence of thunder, a realm of races floats.

This place belongs to the Thunder Clan.

The once thunderous ocean surface is now calm and still, with the clan's territory swaying and trembling alone.

A huge crack was torn in the boundary wall, and the three parties engaged in a chaotic battle around it.

They are the Soul Clan, the Thunder Clan, and the Ancient Clan.

When the Soul Clan appeared at the Thunder Clan's border and attacked the boundary wall, the Thunder Clan chieftain did not hesitate to send out a distress signal.

Although some time has passed, the Thunder Clan Chief still keeps the situation of the Flame Clan in mind and dares not underestimate the Soul Clan.

Upon receiving the news, the ancient clan arrived quickly, almost as soon as the Lei clan's boundary wall was breached. Gu Yuan arrived with his people, but the Yao clan was slow to appear.

However, once the war broke out, they had no time to ponder why the Medicine Clan hadn't come.

The Soul Emperor fought Lei Ying and Gu Yuan alone.

Lei Ying, as the patriarch of the Lei Clan, is a force to be reckoned with, possessing the strength of an eight-star Dou Sheng in the late stage, while Gu Yuan is a nine-star Dou Sheng.

Even so, the two still felt considerable pressure when facing the Soul Emperor.

After a thousand years of cultivation, the Soul Emperor's strength increased dramatically, and the speed of his progress surprised Gu Yuan.

The clan's realm trembled and teetered on the brink of collapse under the aftershocks of their attack, with large swathes of space crumbling and disappearing, revealing a dark interior.

With a deafening roar, the three figures were thrown back a distance before coming to a stop.

A dazzling ball of lightning disappeared, revealing Lei Ying's figure inside. His face was slightly pale, and he pressed one hand to his chest, trying to calm the surging battle qi within him. This would make him feel better and also prevent the blood that was about to spill from his mouth.

In the Dou Qi Continent, an eight-star Dou Sheng is considered the strongest, but there are still gaps between each realm, especially at the Dou Sheng realm, where the differences between each small level are obvious.

Lei Ying's lightning-attribute battle qi was known for its ferocity and powerful aggression, but he still suffered some internal injuries when he clashed with Hun Tiandi.

Gu Yuan asked, "Clan Chief Lei, how are you?"

Lei Ying waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I can still hold on. The Soul Clan has always been mysterious, like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail. Today, the Soul Emperor has shown himself. If we kill him in one fell swoop, it can be considered as avenging Yan Jin."

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. After recuperating for so long, the Soul Clan has reappeared and their strength is far superior to that of other ancient races.

Lei Ying didn't want to live in constant fear and anxiety from now on.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan gave a wry smile: "Okay."

The Soul Emperor emerged from the black mist, his expression calm and cold as he said, "Lei Ying, hand over the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade! Otherwise, I guarantee that before you and Gu Yuan deal with me, everyone else in your Lei Clan will die."

This was no joke; the Soul Clan had elders whose strength was no less than Lei Ying's.

The Soul Emperor was confident that he could face the two without being defeated. He believed that as long as the fight dragged on, the Thunder Clan would eventually be wiped out.

As for the Medicine Clan coming to their aid, the Soul Emperor was not worried at all, because he knew that it was not certain whether the Medicine Clan could survive.

Lei Ying's expression changed repeatedly as he scanned the surrounding battle.

The once thriving city of the Thunder Clan is now riddled with holes, with a large number of Thunder Clan members suffering heavy casualties. While the elders fought, the remaining Thunder Clan members all huddled within the formation.

Lei Ying gritted his teeth: "Make your move! Clan Chief Gu!"

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed, and then a bolt of purplish-red lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck down towards the Heavenly Emperor of Souls.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath and launched his own attack.

Faced with the terrifying thunder and giant hand, Soul Emperor threw two punches, and powerful battle qi surged from his arms and fists.

The lightning bolt was shattered, and the giant hand's downward momentum came to a halt.

Countless chains emerged from the black mist behind the Soul Emperor, shooting towards Lei Ying and Gu Yuan amidst the whistling wind. They immediately twisted and dodged.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, no one dared to approach. The spreading energy shockwaves shattered the ground and destroyed the void.

"Thunder!"

Lei Ying hurled lightning at the chains, and the two collided. The chains shattered, and the speed decreased sharply, but after a while, they chased after him again. The arcs of electricity dropped on the chains for a moment before being completely annihilated.

On the other side, Gu Yuan's fists covered the afterimages, and with each strike, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble, and all the charging chains were blasted into powder by him.

Lei Ying unleashed all his skills, controlling lightning with both hands, the light seemingly illuminating the entire world, but the chains in front of him were increasing in number, as if they could never be cut off.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan's pupils contracted, and he shouted, "Watch out! Clan Chief Lei!"

Soul Emperor took a step forward, his figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared beside Lei Ying, turning around to throw a punch at him.

Lei Ying never expected that the Soul Emperor would dare to approach him, because he had been baptized by lightning and his body was covered with terrifying lightning with extremely strong power.

Facing the Soul Emperor's punch, Lei Ying was half a step too slow. The power he had been trying to gather hadn't even had time to form a barrier before he was hit and sent flying backward.

The Soul Emperor stood still, looked down at the charred marks on his fist, and frowned.

At that moment, a gust of wind swept from behind. Without turning his head, Soul Emperor took a step to the other side.

A powerful aura brushed past the Soul Emperor.

Seeing that his attack had missed, Gu Yuan smashed through the void in front of him, then arrived behind the Soul Emperor, raising his fist above his head.

Suddenly, a phantom of a mountain appeared above Gu Yuan's head. His fist, like a mountain peak, slammed into the back of the Soul Emperor with a heavy and majestic aura.

A black mist appeared, blocking the way between the two.

Boom!

Gu Yuan felt as if he had crashed into a bronze gate, a buzzing sound echoing in his ears. He pulled himself apart and looked at the huge gate that had been revealed after the black mist dissipated.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"The Gate of Deathly Silence!"

Looking at the black portal, Gu Yuan's expression darkened. This was a fighting technique of the Soul Clan, said to have been created by the Dou Di. In addition to being able to devour everything, it could also collect the aura and power of the dead and store them in it for one's own use.

The Soul Emperor emerged from behind the door, his face showing impatience: "Lei Ying, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Lei Ying's face was grim.

At that moment, a rumbling sound came from afar, and yet another gate of death appeared.

There was more than one!

Gu Yuan's expression changed again.

An elder of the Soul Clan opened the portal, and the terrifying suction force directly sucked in two Seven-Star Dou Sheng elders of the Thunder Clan.

Seeing this, Lei Ying's heart was bleeding.

The Seven Star Battle Saints are not like cabbages on the roadside; they are the powerful foundation and pillar of the clan. In just a short while, the two elders were gone.

"open!"

With a roar, the Soul Emperor caused the two doors of the Gate of Death beside him to slowly open, and a suction force emerged from within.

Gu Yuan and Lei Ying dared not underestimate them and fought back with all their might.

Lei Ying asked anxiously, "Clan Chief Gu, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them to us quickly!"

Gu Yuan sighed, "This is not an ancient clan. Some of my abilities require the support of ancient clans and ancient realms. Clan Chief Lei, I have done my best."

Lei Ying asked dejectedly, "Then what do we do now?"

Gu Yuan remained silent. He was confident in dealing with this gate of deathly silence, but the price would be high. Even if he broke through the gate, the Soul Emperor would be injured, but the injury would not be fatal.

If we hand it over to Lei Ying, he might not be a match for the Soul Emperor.

Therefore, Gu Yuan dared not gamble.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a figure appeared beside the Soul Emperor, which turned out to be Void Devouring Flame.

The two, who already looked unwell, looked even worse.

Lei Ying no longer hesitated and threw out a jade slip: "Soul Emperor, here is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade for you. I beg you to spare the life of my Lei Clan."

Having seized the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Emperor had no intention of stopping.

Now you know you regret it? Where were you before?

With the appearance of the Void Devouring Flame, the Soul Emperor, who was originally eight-tenths confident in destroying the Thunder Clan, now has eleven-tenths confidence.

Lei Ying looked desperate, his eyes filled with a resolute expression of facing death.

Gu Yuanxin had the idea of ​​retiring and prepared to return to his clan.

Just then, something unexpected happened: Soul Emperor frowned, then stopped and led all the Soul Clan members away from the Thunder Realm.
