The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1659 Huangfu's Actions
There's not much to say about the specifics of the battle.

It's simply a back-and-forth exchange between the two sides.

Although Xiao Xuan is very strong.

In the later stages of his life, when he fought a decisive battle with the Soul Emperor, he even reached the level of a half-step Dou Di. Even at the cost of halting his breakthrough, Xiao Xuan in that state was undoubtedly the strongest person on the continent. Even the Soul Emperor was beaten by Xiao Xuan and had to recuperate for nearly a thousand years. It should be noted that the Soul Emperor was the patriarch of the Soul Clan and enjoyed the best resources and treatment on the Dou Qi Continent. In the Soul Clan, there was also the rare ninth-grade alchemist, Soul Void Child. The injuries that would kill an ordinary Dou Sheng could be completely healed by the Soul Emperor in less than a week.

In other words, the Soul Emperor fought against Xiao Xuan.

He was almost half dead.

of course.

It was the Soul Emperor who went up to get beaten up.

This is not Xiao Xuan's fault.

This is also why the Soul Clan was unable to pursue and kill the Xiao Clan branch after that battle.

Their clan leader was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

The Void Devouring Flame was nearly destroyed.

All four Supreme Elders at the level of Eight-Star Dou Sheng died.

Now only their remains remain alive.

To put it simply, they are creatures similar to puppets.

They rely on the last remaining convictions of these four elders to carry out their daily actions.

It can be said that Xiao Xuan single-handedly crippled the high-ranking members of the Soul Clan. As for those Soul Clan Dou Sheng below the sixth star level, they were besieged and attacked by many Xiao Clan Dou Sheng at the time, basically achieving a one-for-one exchange. Looking at the entire Heavenly Tomb, more than fifty Dou Sheng are buried, which shows how strong the Xiao Clan's counterattack was in the final situation.

If it weren't for the Void Devouring Flame and Soul Void Child prolonging his life...

The Soul Clan has long since perished.

It's not to the point of being a complete disaster.

After all, the Soul Emperor can still be saved.

The same goes for the Void Devouring Flame.

But the four eight-star Dou Sheng were gone.

Four Seven-Star Dou Sheng were rendered useless.

The Soul Clan only has two nine-star Dou Sheng openly bearing the brunt.

The strongest remaining one is only a six-star Dou Sheng.

The threat has been greatly reduced.

After all, without Hun Xuzi's pills, while those critically injured and dying Soul Clan Battle Saints might not be guaranteed to die, there was still a seven out of ten chance of death. Of the remaining twenty-odd Battle Saints, it would be a miracle if seven or eight survived. Without the Void Devouring Flame, the Soul Clan's bloodline would continue to dilute, inevitably leading to a period of generational scarcity. There would be no way to produce a new generation of Battle Saints with a divine bloodline like Hun Feng's. The Soul Clan would inevitably fall to a point where it was on par with the Ancient Clan, and would never be like it is now, where the Ancient Clan, Thunder Clan, and Flame Clan need to join forces to achieve a 50/50 chance. In a one-on-one fight, the Ancient Clan would only have a 30% chance of winning at most. Although compared to the Thunder Clan and Flame Clan, who only had a 10% chance of winning, and compared to the Spirit Clan, Stone Clan, and Medicine Clan, who had no chance of winning at all, the Ancient Clan's 30% chance was already quite high.

In short, Xiao Xuan in this state can almost be regarded as a half-step Dou Di, and in theory, he is someone that Lin Chaoci absolutely cannot defeat.

But now and then.

It may have once been yours.

But it is mine now.

Xiao Xuan is currently controlling a level 15 hero, which is the maximum level.

Lin Chaoci at this moment is equivalent to a level 1 hero with six divine items.

When both sides are of similar skill level.

It's really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

The bonuses from leveling up are certainly powerful.

However, the bonuses provided by the equipment are also significant.

Unless there is a counter situation, such as a max-level, fully equipped Monkey King being unable to defeat a max-level Liu Bei who has all six slots filled with attack speed daggers.

In short, under the premise of fair competition.

Defeating Xiao Xuan is indeed very difficult.

However, in the end, Lin Chaoci still managed to find an opening and deliver the final blow to Xiao Xuan, thanks to the enhancement provided by the Heart Demon Ring itself.

Even though the Demon Ring in his hand was damaged in battle.

Its power is gone.

It's not as good as it used to be when it was perfectly intact.

However, the gap between the Heavenly Sovereign and the Supreme is unprecedented. Not to mention that Xiao Xuan is not yet a Supreme, at most he is only one foot in the threshold of the Supreme. Even if Xiao Xuan were a Supreme, the Heavenly Sovereign could kill him across one or more continents with just a glance. My weakness does not mean your strength. This is the true picture.

Therefore, after several hours of fierce fighting...

Lin Chaoci ultimately won by a narrow margin.

They killed the Lei Ling who was holding Xiao Xuan's template.

It slowly landed from the sky.

He retracted the battle aura wings behind him.

Touching the mask with a missing corner on his face, he roughly understood what was going on.

Understanding the levels of power of lightning tribulations.

"The next breakthrough, from Dou Ling to Dou Wang... will probably be at the level of Half-Saint or even Dou Sheng. Although according to the current pattern, Half-Saint is already the limit, because there are detailed distinctions between Half-Saints: Primary Half-Saint, Intermediate Half-Saint, and Advanced Half-Saint, which is equivalent to raising the level by three minor realms on the basis of Nine Revolutions Dou Zun. However, if the Heavenly Dao remembers my aura and uses its authority to the limit, it is not impossible that it could create some Dou Sheng-level Thunder Spirits to try to kill me."

"Although world consciousness can help."

"But there's really no need for that."

"Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly."

"Instead of doing a favor and asking the world consciousness to help reduce the power of the lightning tribulation, it would be safer to have the world consciousness shut down the lightning tribulation altogether."

"What if the world's consciousness shuts down the tribulation lightning?"

"It would be safer for me to go to the Martial Universe."

There's nothing we can do about it if we can't avoid it.

Why waste favors when trouble can be avoided?

Lin Chaoci stroked his chin, preparing for his next breakthrough. At the same time, he took off his tattered clothes and threw them aside. He used his battle qi to clean himself up and changed into a new set of clothes. Although he still looked a little tired, he was completely different from his disheveled appearance just now.

The reason why the clothes were torn but the mask wasn't is clearly because their statuses are different. The clothes were torn because the material itself was ordinary, not made of metal. Although the clothes of the strong are often made of very good materials, basically, at the Dou Wang level, the clothes they wear can withstand ordinary water, fire and sword cuts, like soft armor. For example, Feng Qing'er's Phoenix Feather Armor can ensure that Feng Qing'er can withstand the attack of Dou Zun without getting hurt. But Lin Chao Ci's clothes were obviously made of ordinary materials. After all, Lin Chao Ci himself didn't care much about this. He only needed to ensure that the uniform of the Yunlan Sect disciple would not be discovered. It was reasonable that they were torn to shreds in the fierce battle just now.

But masks are different.

In addition to concealing one's appearance, a mask can also function as a face shield, providing the wearer's face with a certain degree of protection.

Although it is useless against some large attacks.

But it can still handle some stray arrows.

Similar to a modern steel helmet.

The purpose of a helmet is not to stop bullets.

Rather, it was to avoid being injured by the aftershocks.

Like a stray bullet.

Like the debris kicked up by the explosion.

Or, in close combat where no weapon is available, one can use a helmet as a temporary measure, and also to prevent the opponent from hitting one's head with something, thus avoiding losing one's life for this ridiculous reason.

After all, when people are desperate, they can do anything.

In the life-or-death struggle.

Who can remember every tactical maneuver?

When someone grabs you by the neck.

Let's say we have a brick on hand.

The simplest way is to pick it up and slap it on the other person's head.

But if the other person is wearing a helmet, throwing bricks won't work.

At most, it can only obstruct the view for a short time after the bricks break.

Moreover, both sides had their view blocked.

Their faces were covered in pebbles.

The force with which the other person is choking you won't lessen.

Therefore, the materials used for masks are more refined than those used for clothing. In addition, since the mask is located on the face, it can be said to belong to the head. If the mask breaks, the face underneath should also be mangled by the aftershocks of the attack. Although there have been some exceptions, such as some inferior masks breaking but the face remaining unharmed, generally speaking, any mask with a mask-like structure has a defensive capability greater than that of the skin. Once the mask breaks, the face behind the mask, including the head, is almost certainly not spared. Therefore, masks do not break easily.

People like Lin Chaoci.

It's just that one corner is broken.

The left side of her forehead was exposed.

It is about the thickness of two fingers.

This already demonstrates how dangerous the battle just took.

However, to outsiders, the most incredible thing was not the danger, but that Lin Chaoci was able to survive all forty-nine lightning tribulations in one go.

"how did you do it?"

After soaking in the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, Feng Qing'er landed on the deck of her clan's spaceship and took a bath in her room. Having improved by two minor realms, she looked at Lin Chaoci, who was about to take his leave, and finally couldn't help but ask him in a low voice.

However, Feng Qing'er also knew that her question was too general.

Therefore, after asking the question.

She quickly corrected herself.

He explained, "What I mean is, just how strong are you?"

"Perhaps he's invincible within his realm?"

Lin Chaoci made a joke.

To Feng Qing'er at least, it sounded like a joke.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Feng Qing'er suddenly realized that Lin Chaoci was right. Lin Chaoci was indeed invincible in the same realm.

Who among the Dou Ling can defeat a Dou Zun?

Let alone a Dou Zun.

There aren't many who can defeat a Fighting King.

Even those descendants of the eight ancient clans.

It is blessed by bloodline.

Those who can fight across a major realm are extremely rare, and each one can be called a potential Dou Di (Battle Emperor). Examples include Hun Feng, the young clan leader of the Soul Clan with divine bloodline; Lei Dong, the young clan leader of the Thunder Clan with divine bloodline; and Gu Qingyang, the Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army with ninth-grade bloodline of the Ancient Clan.

Moreover, even these people might not be able to fight across ranks equally against all Dou Wangs. At best, they can only bully some Dou Wangs with shallow foundations. If they want to fight across ranks against Dou Wangs like Feng Qing'er, Mu Qingluan, and Tang Huo'er, it would be a humiliation for them. They also cannot fight across ranks against each other.

Even this kind of scum dares to claim to be invincible in the same realm.

Lin Chaoci's unparalleled skill in the same realm is flawless.

It's true what they say: comparing people is a recipe for disaster, and comparing goods is a recipe for disaster.

I didn't think much of it before.

The difference becomes apparent when compared side-by-side.

"Alright, Young Master Lin, who is invincible in the same realm..."

Feng Qing'er sighed, smiled helplessly, and then changed the subject, saying as she saw him off, "Have a safe journey, and I look forward to the day we meet again."

"Thank you."

"take care."

"The storm to come will be even bigger."

"After all, I showed up."

"The Soul Palace is a large and powerful organization. They may not care about a half-saint level subordinate, but they will never allow a threat to them to grow stronger, nor will they let go of any clues."

"But they can't find me."

"Therefore, the only option left is to put the pressure on you."

Lin Chaoci boarded his spaceship.

He waved to Feng Qing'er.

Feng Qing'er nodded dismissively.

He watched Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie leave.

The reason she didn't take it seriously wasn't that she didn't take Lin Chaoci's reminder to heart, but rather that she already had a lot of troubles. As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won't be afraid of being bitten. She didn't care about having one more trouble. Moreover, even if Lin Chaoci hadn't appeared, the Soul Clan would never have allowed her, the Supreme Dragon Phoenix, to develop peacefully.

"If I have to die."

"Then I'd rather die with some value."

"After all, death is never scary."

"What's terrible is the lack of hope."

"As long as you can survive."

"The Soul Clan will eventually be buried with me."

"Although, if I could stay alive, I would hope that I wouldn't die."

Feng Qing'er stood on the deck of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's spaceship until the small spaceship carrying Lin Chaoci disappeared into the void before she withdrew her gaze and left the place according to the planned route.

And at the same time.

Different worlds.

The Lin family in the Martial Universe was on high alert.

Lin Chaoci, who was pretending to sleep in the cabin of the Battle Through the Heavens world but actually swapped places with his clone and switched his main body to the Martial Universe world, was confused and could only grab someone at random to ask. After learning that there was a guarded presence but not knowing the specific reason for it, he went to the council hall of the Lin clan to see what was going on.

It is the Lin clan's top secret.

Lin Chaoci naturally possessed extremely high levels of authority.

Don’t say anything else.

He only mentioned the jade pendant hanging from his waist.

This proves his identity.

The technical name for this thing is an identity token.

It is something that only a few people possess.

After all, most members of the Lin clan don't need it; they're all family, so there's no need. Only a few elders need it because they need to handle affairs, including mobilizing resources. Having a token makes it easier to trace the problem if something goes wrong.

The jade pendant hanging from Lin Chaoci's waist was the exclusive jade pendant of the young patriarch of the Lin clan. Although most members of the Lin clan did not know whether the jade pendant had been issued or to whom it had been issued, they still recognized its appearance. The so-called vigilance was completely useless against Lin Chaoci, who swaggered into the Lin clan's council hall.

Then, I received the devastating news.

Yes.

Bad news.

Within the Lin clan, some secrets about him were accidentally leaked.

It could also be said that a traitor has emerged once again within the Lin clan.

And at the same time.

This traitor, whose identity had been confirmed by the Lin clan but who had already fled, had arrived in the city where the Huangfu clan was located. He met with the elders and clan leaders of the Huangfu clan, including the young clan leader who was listening in, and told them all the information he had. This immediately aroused the Huangfu clan's vigilance and heated discussion.
