The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 1266: The Deepest Part of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan’s Tomb

"Sir, the gap to the west from here is where many powerful people meet. Go in that direction and go deep into the Heavenly Tomb, and you will find Sir Xiao Xuan's residence."

"However, Lord Xiao Xuan particularly hates the Soul Clan. He would come out to clear the place every once in a while. Most of the Soul Clan Doushengs on the third floor of the Heavenly Tomb were killed by him. The rest are those who are barely surviving and whose whereabouts are unknown..."

At the bottom of Xu Xin's feet, the Blood Knife Saint spoke cautiously, silently praying in his heart that Xu Xin would be honest and trustworthy. Although he had died once, he was reborn in this tomb, and he didn't want to die again.

"Don't worry. I, Xu Xin, always keep my word. Since I said I would let you go, I will naturally spare your life..."

Xu Xin seemed to see through the Blood Knife Saint's thoughts and moved his feet away so that the Blood Knife Saint could get up from the ground.

Behind him, a trace of disappointment flashed across Gu Xun'er's eyes. The semi-saint level energy core was definitely a precious help to her who was in desperate need of strength.

"Did I let you go?"

The Blood Knife Saint walked away and picked up his blood knife. He finally felt relieved. But just as he was about to leave, Xu Xin's voice rang out again.

"My lord, is there anything else..."

The Blood Sword Saint turned around trembling, and with great effort he forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Three questions. The last one naturally requires you to lead the way."

When Xu Xin's voice came, the Blood Knife Saint's heart finally settled down again. This ups and downs experience tamed his temper. He nodded quickly to lead the way, and took the initiative to kill the energy bodies he met on the way and offered energy cores to Xu Xin.

In a hidden cave somewhere on the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, two old men in grey clothes and with gloomy faces were sitting in a corner with their eyes closed to rest.

Suddenly, they all looked towards the cave entrance at the same time, and found that there were several figures there without them noticing.

"Fighting Saint?"

The soul bodies of these two Soul Clan's Douluo Saints sensed the danger the moment they saw Xu Xin, and at the same time they were full of doubts. The Heavenly Tomb had been opened so many times over the past thousands of years, but almost no living Douluo Saints had ever been allowed in!
The two Soul Clan Fighting Saint souls were observing Xu Xin, and Xu Xin was also watching them. The conditions of these two were better than that of the Blood Knife Saint. Their bodies were no different from normal people. It was almost like they were reborn after death. This Heavenly Tomb was truly a magical place.

"The Soul Clan's Dou Sheng soul body has finally found you, but it's a pity that you are only two one-star Dou Shengs."

Xu Xin looked at the two of them for a while and shook his head in disappointment.

"What do you mean by this, Ancient Clan? You are targeting the Dou Sheng souls that hunted down our Soul Clan. Aren't you afraid that the news will get out and that the strong men of our Soul Clan will cause trouble for your Ancient Clan in the outside world..."

The two Douluo of the Soul Clan heard the hidden meaning in Xu Xin's words and became extremely angry. They were also young once and had entered the Heavenly Tomb before. Naturally, they knew that the descendants of the ancient imperial clan hunted energy beings for cultivation.

Generally speaking, those who are hunted are energy bodies below the holy realm. Existences above the holy realm basically have intelligent beings, and many of them are predecessors of the eight ancient clans. Basically no one will risk hunting these "predecessors".

But now, this ancient clan has let in a Fighting Saint, which is going to break the rules!

Gu Xun'er walked up to Xu Xin and said in a cold voice, "Your Soul Clan's conspiracy to collude with Void Devouring Flame and use the power of the Soul Devouring Clan to continue the bloodline has been exposed. The Soul Clan is now the public enemy of all clans. People like you must be cleared out."

"Void Devouring Flame...Soul Devouring Clan...No wonder..."

After hearing what Gu Xun'er said, a Soul Clan Fighting Saint's eyes showed some fluctuations, and then he stepped out instantly, and the entire space began to shake violently at this moment, and circles of space ripples spread out from under his feet.

"Lock!" Another Soul Clan Fighting Saint also made a move at the same time. He clenched his hands fiercely, and all the sounds within the area of ​​a hundred feet were instantly frozen, and along with the solidification, there seemed to be time.

The two Douluo Saints joined forces and instantly controlled the heaven and earth. At this moment, everyone except Xu Xin and the Blood Knife Saint was unable to move at all.

"Roar!"

A loud roar shattered the cave, and the Soul Clan Fighting Saint who made the first move opened his mouth, and rolling black clouds burst out of his mouth. Amid the roar, it condensed into a huge black python that was thousands of feet long, and rushed towards Gu Xun'er and others behind Xu Xin.

The two Soul Clan Douluo were well aware that their current situation was not good. If they fought head-on, the result would most likely not be good. It would be better for them to make a feint to the east and attack the weak ones like Gu Xun'er, and take the opportunity to escape.

The two Soul Clan Fighting Saints joined forces, and their power was indeed impressive. Even the Half-Saint Blood Knife Saint was blocked without any resistance.

But they were still no match for Xu Xin, so Xu Xin slowly raised his hand and gently clenched the two energy bodies.

"broken!"

As soon as Xu Xin uttered the word, the space and heaven within a thousand feet radius collapsed, like broken lenses, and all flew towards the two Soul Clan Douluo.

"escape!"

After just a brief exchange of blows, the two Soul Clan Fighting Saints were certain that this was a guy they could not afford to mess with, and they turned around and ran away with pale faces.

"Can you run away?"

Xu Xin smiled coldly, his hands turned into a grasping posture, and he practiced the method of swallowing the sky and absorbing energy. As the mysterious purple light surged, a powerful suction force formed two black holes in the broken dark void, which directly sucked back the two Soul Clan Fighting Saints who had escaped.

"what……"

The heads of the two Soul Clan Fighting Saints were grasped firmly by Xu Xin's hands, but after a moment, the screams of the two men stopped abruptly. Under the horrified gaze of Gu Xun'er and others, their bodies shook violently and dissipated into nothingness, leaving only two energy cores that fell into Xu Xin's hands.

"Blood Knife, continue to lead the way..."

Xu Xin held the two energy cores in his hand and played with them for a while. In the envious eyes of Gu Qingyang and others, he threw them to Gu Xun'er. Then he shot a ray of spiritual light into the head of the Blood Knife Saint, allowing him to continue leading the way.

The memories of these two Soul Clan Fighting Saints had already been obtained by Xu Xin during the absorption of energy just now. Naturally, there were some surprises, including the ancient secrets of the Soul Clan and the secret methods of connecting and distinguishing the Soul Clan's energy bodies.

Because of Xiao Xuan's sweeps every ten years, the remaining soul clans in the Heavenly Tomb are very alert. Without special methods, it would be very difficult to find them.

"Sir, please follow me."

The Blood Knife Saint determined the next location by comparing memories, and immediately continued to act as a guide.

And Xu Xin killed his way forward in this way, killing all the energy bodies of the Soul Clan warriors in the Heavenly Tomb, and it can be said that he reaped a lot of rewards.

In the end, they ended their hunting trip and came to the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan's tomb.
