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

Chapter 231 Formation? What formation? Hun Cang confessed.

He could actually laugh!

Disappointed, the Soul Emperor felt a surge of anger.

The situation, which was originally going well, has developed to this point, and a large part of the reason is inseparable from Hun Cang.

What Hun Tiandi couldn't understand most during this period was why Hun Cang didn't help him, but instead helped outsiders.

The Soul Emperor admitted that he didn't care much about this son, nor did he put much effort into him, but similarly, he didn't seem to be deliberately targeting him.

However, once he obtains the items from the ancient emperor's cave and successfully becomes an emperor, Hun Cang will possess his own bloodline and will definitely receive considerable bloodline feedback.

Before he could think further, the Soul Emperor shifted his gaze from Soul Cang to a figure directly in front of him.

Gu Yuan's momentum was overwhelming, breaking through the Soul Clan elders' obstruction, and he raised his right palm high.

next moment.

Behind Gu Yuan, the world suddenly trembled, and the battle qi energy surged and roared, like a tide converging and condensing into a giant palm.

It covered everything, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Faced with the palm print that seemed capable of destroying the world, the Soul Emperor remained calm, showing no sign of worry. He protected the ancient jade while throwing a punch.

boom!

The void in the direction the fist was pointing suddenly collapsed, like a mirror being struck by a heavy object, as the unstoppable fist crashed into the giant palm.

The surroundings seemed to freeze for a second, calm and silent.

But the next second, the vanished sound returned like a tide, and tangible energy ripples erupted from the point of contact between the fist and palm, spreading outwards.

Wherever it passed, space collapsed, revealing a deep darkness, with occasional turbulent currents visible.

The Soul Emperor ignored him, slowly withdrew his fist, glanced at the unharmed Gu Yu, and chuckled, "Gu Yuan, do you think you can stop me by yourself?"

"Again!" Gu He pushed his palms forward, and surging battle qi surged from his body, sweeping towards the Heavenly Emperor of Souls like ocean waves.

A hint of impatience flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes as he glanced at the ancient jade and then at the scene.

The Gu, Lei, and Yao clans, from their clan leaders to their elders, were all entangled in a fierce battle with the Soul Clan. The fighting was intense and it was difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

Among them, the Void Devouring Flame alone entangled the Thunder Clan Chief and Xiao Yan.

Faced with the two's attacks, Void Devouring Flame showed obvious signs of weakness. However, he did not confront them head-on, but instead focused on entanglement. Because he could devour energy, the Thunder Clan Chief's attacks seemed somewhat weak.

Where is Hun Cangren? Gu Yuan looked around and saw the figure standing still behind him, quietly watching Gu Yu.

What is he doing?!

At this moment, Gu Yuan was somewhat bewildered.

If Hun Cang hadn't been so careless, the ancient jade would never have been so easily snatched away by Hun Tiandi, and this situation wouldn't have occurred.

Right now, Hun Cang is completely unmoved!

Gu Yuan was getting anxious and wished he could call Xiao Xuan over for help.

However, Xiao Xuan showed no intention of making a appearance.

According to Xiao Xuan, he had to wait for Hun Cang to give him a signal before he would make a move.

Isn't now the right time?

boom!

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the space. Gu Yuan saw that his offensive had once again been defeated by the Soul Emperor. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly stopped.

The ancient jade in the void trembled slightly, and a beam of brilliant light shone from it, shooting straight towards the towering stone gate.

hum!

The stone gate, inscribed with "Ancient Emperor's Cave," began to tremble, large swaths of dust fell, and a layer of water ripples spread across the stone gate.

Everyone stopped and looked at the stone gate.

The Ancient Emperor's Cave is about to open!

"Hahaha..." Soul Emperor couldn't suppress his joy, and a hearty laugh came from his throat, booming like thunder, spreading throughout the space.

Apart from the Soul Clan members, everyone else looked extremely grim.

Because they remembered that not long ago, Hun Cang had said that whoever opened the cave could control the cave's array and restrictions.

No one dares to imagine how strong the array formations and restrictions inside the cave left behind by the Dou Di are.

The space that originally covered the cave slowly disappeared, and the ancient emperor's cave was completely revealed on the Dou Qi Continent.

The Soul Emperor arrogantly declared, "Once the Ancient Emperor's Cave opens, I will control the formation. Every single one of you will die, especially you—"

His gaze suddenly locked onto Hun Cang at the back of the crowd. "I won't kill you. I'll save you for last!"

Unfortunately, Hun Cang didn't show the expectant look that Hun Tiandi had hoped for. Instead, he smiled and asked, "An array? What array?"

The Soul Emperor was taken aback.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan and the others, who had been hanging their heads and were in low spirits, continued to sit down.

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

At this moment, they all raised their heads and looked at Hun Cang.

Hun Cang smiled brightly: "What I said was just to deceive you. If I hadn't said that, why would you have chosen to open the cave on your own initiative?"

The Soul Emperor angrily said, "Impossible! We were extremely careful in our movements, and even Gu Yuan didn't notice us. Your strength is far inferior to his, so how could you possibly know we were coming?"

He felt that Hun Cang was lying!

But Hun Cang smiled slightly: "You may have overlooked someone."

His gaze shifted to the Void Devouring Flame, whose expression had become extremely ugly.

In that instant, the days when Void Devouring Flame followed Soul Cang and protected him flashed through his mind.

At that time, Hun Cang's strength was not even comparable to that of a Dou Sheng.

However, Void Devouring Flame always felt that he could never hide his figure in front of Soul Cang. No matter how high in the sky, he could feel Soul Cang's gaze.

At this moment, Hun Cang completely dropped the pretense, shrugged, and laid his cards on the table: "To tell you the truth, the only way to open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave is by using the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. Everything I said before was just to get you to bring the ancient jade here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Void Devouring Flame staggered and retreated step by step.

Having finally calmed down, Void Devouring Flame questioned in a deep voice, "You're saying those things are false? Then how do you explain the messages you had someone pass on to me before?"

Hun Cang smiled without saying a word.

At this moment, Gu Yuan finally understood why everyone had wanted to stop Hun Tiandi's actions, while Hun Cang had remained silent and even prevented Xiao Xuan from showing up.

It turns out that all of this was his premeditated scheme.

In order to convince the Soul Emperor of this, Soul Cang not only deceived the Soul Clan, but even they themselves were deceived.

After much deliberation, Gu Yuan realized that if Hun Cang hadn't done this, he probably wouldn't have agreed to take the risk of using the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

After all, the risks involved were too great. If it failed, the Soul Emperor could easily detect it and disappear completely to continue his schemes.

The Soul Clan can wait, but these alliances cannot remain united indefinitely, doing nothing and continuing to live in constant fear.

The Soul Emperor carefully observed Soul Cang and found that he spoke very seriously, with a firm, resolute, and unquestionable tone, which did not seem like bluffing at all.

In other words, all his years of planning, which were about to succeed, were thwarted by an illegitimate son he had never even given a second glance.

Instantly, the Soul Emperor felt a tightness in his chest, a breath stuck there, unable to be exhaled!

Hun Cang looked at the slowly opening cave door and said, "I have waited for this door to open for so many years, and finally it has come."

"You unfilial son!" Hearing Hun Cang's undisguised words, Hun Tiandi's eyes blazed with fury, and a terrifying aura erupted from within him. "Even if the cave opens, the opportunities within won't be yours!"
