Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 371 My alchemy furnace is never picky about food!

The mountain wind howled through the crevices of the jagged rocks, emitting a long and mournful wail, as if countless wronged souls were wailing.

Under the pale moonlight, a colossal gate stood atop a distant cliff.

This is the entrance to the Soul Realm.

At that moment, a figure streaked across the sky and entered the stone gate, instantly brightening the view.

Beneath the clouds and mist, ancient pines stand strong and vigorous, their needles emerald green. On the antique steps, moss is mottled, faintly revealing the traces of time.

Compared to the eerie and gloomy atmosphere outside, this place presents a vibrant and lively scene.

Deep within the clouds and mist, Hun Xuzi's figure emerged from the distorted space, his face ashen.

As soon as he appeared, the surrounding clouds and mist dispersed as if they were alive, revealing a majestic palace floating in the void—the power center of the Soul Clan, a place that only the core experts of the clan could set foot in.

At the far end of the hall, a tall, slender figure stood with his hands behind his back.

The man was dressed in a white robe, with long, ink-black hair. Although he didn't exude any aura, he gave off an oppressive feeling that made heaven and earth submit.

—Soul Emperor!

"Clan leader."

Hun Xuzi knelt on one knee, his voice low and carrying a rare solemnity.

"Failed?"

The Soul Emperor did not turn around, but spoke calmly, his voice so calm that no emotion could be discerned.

"No, the mission did not fail. Lord Void is handling the aftermath."

Hun Xuzi wiped his hand, and two ancient jade slips appeared. He held them up with both hands and bowed his head, saying, "These are the Tuoshe Ancient Jade of the Spirit and Stone Clans."

The Soul Emperor slowly turned around, revealing a gentle and refined face. If it weren't for the faint aura emanating from him, anyone would have thought he was a scholar.

At this moment, his deep, unfathomable eyes fell on the two floating pieces of imperial jade, and even with his temperament, a trace of passion flashed in his heart.

With a gentle wave of his slender, pale hand, two streams of light fell into his palm. After examining them for a moment, he shifted his gaze to Hun Xuzi on the ground. Seeing the strange expression on his face, he asked in confusion:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Hun Xuzi lowered his head and recounted everything that had happened at Zixiao Palace, without daring to conceal anything.

"Oh?"

The Soul Emperor's eyes flickered, finally revealing a hint of interest.
"As far as I know, Ancient Dragon Island has been divided for thousands of years. How could the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void still have such a powerful figure?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Hun Xuzi's forehead as he gritted his teeth and said:
"Your subordinate can sense that the aura emanating from that drop of blood essence is far beyond that of an ordinary Battle Saint, and is even comparable to your aura, Clan Chief!"

"interesting."

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Soul Emperor.

"The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is constantly embroiled in internal strife. If such a person truly exists, he has never shown himself. Yet now, his essence blood has appeared in the hands of a human boy."

Upon hearing this, Hun Xuzi's mind raced, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in his eyes.

Yes, if there really were such powerful beings in the world of the Ancient Dragon Clan, then why has the Ancient Dragon Clan split into its current state over the years?

I was scared by that kid before and didn't understand the connection. Now that the clan leader has explained it, I've finally realized it.

He was scammed?!
Thinking of this, Hun Xuzi was furious, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he said in a cold voice, "Then should we..."

"No need!"

The Soul Emperor gently raised his hand, interrupting him: "With your soul at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, you wouldn't be mistaken; that drop of blood should be real."

Hun Xuzi's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly dismissed the thought from his mind, instead asking:
"Clan leader, if the Ancient Dragon of the Void truly has such a powerful figure alive, and even has some connection with Xiao Bai, then what about our plan?"

"It doesn't matter."

The Soul Emperor lowered his gaze, toying with two pieces of imperial jade in his hands, his eyes flashing with thoughts:

"If that person could truly move freely, he would have returned to Ancient Dragon Island long ago. Why would he hide? The fact that his essence blood appeared on Xiao Bai's body proves that perhaps he didn't want to return, but rather that he couldn't!"

Hun Xuzi was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "They can't come back?!"

He knew how powerful a peak nine-star Dou Sheng was. What could be the reason that such a powerful person couldn't return?
"Don't touch Xiao Bai for now; he might be useful to me in the future!"

The Soul Emperor slightly raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless void, looking towards an unknown direction:
"I'm more curious about where that Ancient Void Dragon is right now. There aren't many places on this Dou Qi Continent that could trap it!"

As he spoke, he held the imperial jade in his hand up to his eyes and murmured softly:
"Is this here?"

"It seems I need to change my plans!"

Upon hearing this, Hun Xuzi was deeply shocked. If it really was that place, did it mean that Xiao Bai already knew its location?

Zixiao Palace.

Xiao Bai was unaware of what had happened within the Soul Clan; at this moment, he was examining Qing Lin in front of him.

"Son."

Qinglin was filled with unease. Before Xiao Bai went into seclusion, he instructed her to help him refine the soul of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent after he came out of seclusion. However, she secretly took action, which ultimately led to Ziyan having to intervene.

"It's okay!"

Looking at the timid and uneasy girl in front of him, Xiao Bai sighed softly, patted her head, and smiled:
"You're already a three-star Dou Zun, why are you still acting like you did back then!"

Qinglin breathed a long sigh of relief, pressing her hand against his large hand on her head. A slight blush rose to her pretty face, her emerald eyes becoming slightly hazy, and she said sweetly:

"No matter what level of cultivation I possess, in front of you, young master, Qinglin will always be Qinglin of Stone Desert City!"

"Hehe. You little rascal!"

Xiao Bai chuckled and rubbed her head. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he found that Qing Lin's hand was pressing down on his.

Qinglin sensed the movement and snapped back to reality. Seeing Ziyan's inexplicable gaze beside her, her face instantly turned bright red. She quickly let go of her hand, bit her red lips tightly, and almost buried her head in her chest.

"Tsk tsk."

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, circled around Qing Lin, and scrutinized her with her large, bright eyes, clicking her tongue in amazement:
"Qinglin, why is your face as red as a monkey's bottom? Are you sick?"

Upon hearing this, Qinglin's ears turned bright red. She stomped her foot in embarrassment and said in a low voice:

"Zi Yan."

"Alright, Ziyan, it's perfect that you're back. Let's go to the Beast Realm together!"

Xiao Bai interrupted the two women's playful banter and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Huh? We found that ruin?"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly followed.

Unexpectedly, I was so lucky; I received news from the other side as soon as I returned to Zixiao Palace.

"Ok!"

Xiao Bai nodded, and quickened his pace as he watched a beautiful figure appear at the entrance of the main hall.
"The Wind Venerable has already crushed the jade slip; there must be some activity over there!"

"Little White, are you sure you don't need me to go?" Little Fairy Doctor walked towards us and asked softly.

"I'll take Ziyan there. You're in charge of Zixiao Palace!" Xiao Bai said, taking her hand gently in his.

Cai Lin has already gone into seclusion, and Yao Tian Huo also received a pill from him to restore his cultivation. It will take some time, and Zi Xiao Palace needs someone to oversee it. In addition, he plans to take Zi Yan back to Canaan Academy this time, so it is most suitable for the two of them to act together.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded slightly.

"Then you must be careful out there! Don't worry us!"

Xiao Bai squeezed her smooth, delicate hand, then turned to Zi Yan and said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeve, and the little golden dragon shot out, growing larger in the wind and instantly transforming into a giant dragon hundreds of feet long soaring into the sky.

Xiao Bai leaped up with Zi Yan and landed on the dragon's head. He then stretched out his palm, his five fingers slightly bent, and reached out to grab a spot on Thunder Mountain.

"Xiao Bai, what are you trying to do?"

On the back mountain, Feng Qing'er saw a pair of illusory hands descend from the sky and snatch her away out of thin air. Her pretty face turned pale instantly. She knew in her heart that who else could do such a thing so recklessly on Lei Mountain but that bastard?

After struggling violently to no avail, he could only watch helplessly as the surrounding scenery receded, and in the blink of an eye, he landed on a huge golden dragon.

Upon seeing Xiao Bai so close, Feng Qing'er was terrified and quickly took two steps back. But in an instant, she raised her head, stood tall, stared directly at him, and said angrily:
"Kill me if you want, but don't expect me to bow down to you!"

In her eyes, Xiao Bai was a man of deep thoughts, unpredictable moods, and ruthless decisiveness. He had ignored her since destroying the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Could it be that he had finally decided to deal with her this time? She secretly prepared herself for death.

Xiao Bai glanced at her, stomped his foot, and the little golden dragon immediately understood, transforming into a golden light and flying towards the Beast Domain.

"If you behave this time, I'll let you go back!"

Xiao Bai stood upright at the dragon's head, facing the wind, his soft voice carried by the howling wind to Feng Qing'er's ears.

"Of course, you don't have to listen, but my alchemy furnace is never picky about its food!"

Feng Qing'er was taken aback. At first, she was a little doubtful when he said he would let her go, but when she heard the last sentence, she instantly understood what he meant.

That bastard needs her to do things!

Thinking about this, for some reason, the tension in my heart, which had been taut, quietly eased a little.

"Xiao Bai, why keep her here? You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to her, would you?"

Zi Yan sat on Xiao Jin's enormous dragon horns, swinging her legs back and forth. She glanced sideways at Feng Qing'er, clearly not liking her at all, especially the other's bloodline aura, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Before Xiao Bai could say anything, Feng Qing'er's face flushed red, and she glared angrily at Zi Yan.

Seeing this, Zi Yan didn't tolerate her at all and glared back directly.

Xiao Bai ignored the two and sat down cross-legged on the dragon head. The only reason he kept Feng Qing'er around was because she could summon the Heavenly Phoenix Ancestral Soul from the ruins.

That's right, it's the dragon and phoenix that perished under the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit Tree.

This time, he planned to pack up the two remnant souls and take them away, perhaps Zi Yan would need them when using the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Xiao Bai always liked to plan ahead. He didn't know if the remnant soul would be able to use the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit correctly, but if it was, then everyone would be happy.

Even if he doesn't need it, he can still give it to the Void Flame within his body, so nothing is wasted, and it doesn't take much effort anyway.

The little golden dragon darted through the clouds like lightning, its speed astonishing, sweeping across the Central Plains. Gradually, the rolling mountains came into view.

"This is...the Beast Realm?!"

As the surrounding scenery became increasingly familiar, Feng Qing'er paused for a moment, then her beautiful eyes gradually lit up with a bright light.

"What's there to get so excited about? Xiao Bai said that if you don't listen to him, his alchemy furnace won't be picky about what it feeds on!"

Zi Yan glanced at Feng Qing'er, whose body was trembling slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared on her lips.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'er looked at the black-robed figure in front of her who was resting with his eyes closed, and suddenly fell silent.

She understood that even in the Beast Realm, she couldn't escape this person's grasp, and based on her understanding of Xiao Bai, she knew that the words about the alchemy furnace were not a joke.
Others may have awe for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, but this bastard in front of me actually dares to use her to refine medicine!
"hold head high--"

Not long after entering the beast realm, the little golden dragon let out a deafening roar. The densely packed flying magical beasts around it felt this vast dragon might. Those that were close instantly fell from the sky, while those that were far away fled in panic.

"It truly lives up to its name as the Beast Realm; there are simply too many flying magical beasts here to count!"

Seeing that the path ahead had been cleared, the little golden dragon flicked its tail and flew directly into the depths of the beast realm.

"This is a dragon?!"

In the mountains below, a group of people scrambled to their feet, their eyes nearly bulging as they watched the golden light recede into the distance.

After a while, the group looked at each other, feeling incredibly relieved. That loud shout had knocked them unconscious.

This is a beast realm; collapsing in the wilderness is practically the same as being dead.

If it weren't for a sudden sharp pain in their heads that brought them back to their senses, they would probably be in the jaws of beasts today!

“It must have been the person sitting on the dragon’s head who helped us!” someone said hesitantly.

"Heh. Help? If his dragon hadn't stunned us, would we need his help?" Someone sneered as the golden light disappeared into the distance.

"Alright, stop arguing. We're not far from the Bone Mountains. Let's hurry on our way. It's said that the ruins that have been opened this time are quite extraordinary!"

A burly man who appeared to be the leader waved his hand to interrupt the argument between the two, and looked at the disappearing golden light, his pupils shrinking slightly.

I never imagined that these ruins would even attract him!

"Hehe. Speaking of this ruin, the one who must be most upset is Venerable Feng of the Starfall Pavilion. He was the first to discover it, but he couldn't get in, and in the end, everyone knew about it!"

"That's right. Along the way, I've spotted disciples from several major powers in the Central Plains. Not to mention, this is the Beast Domain, and those magical beast families are no pushovers!"

"That's perfect. Without these powerful forces holding the line, how would we dare to covet these ruins? We would probably have been wiped out by the monster families long ago!"

As they spoke, the group encountered several more groups of people, including Dou Zong who were soaring through the air and Dou Huang with wings of energy. They exchanged glances and then hurried toward the depths.

Skeleton Mountains.

This place used to be a paradise for Warcraft players, but now it's bustling with activity, as crowds keep gathering here.

At the boundary between the snowy white and the lush green, magical beasts in human form raced wildly through the void, while powerful human warriors, having heard the news, also appeared.

Clearly, in the Dou Qi Continent, especially in areas close to the Central Plains, as long as the region isn't too remote, there aren't many secrets for certain forces.

Deep within the Senbai Mountains, atop a mountain peak, Venerable Feng gazed at the undulating camps stretching across the plains below, his expression somewhat grim.

Not long ago, he found a place on this mountain peak where the space was slightly unusual. No matter how he sensed it, he was not sure if it was the location of the ruins. Out of curiosity, he clapped his hand in the void.

But it was this one palm strike that led to the current situation.

“Venerable Wind, we respect you for being the first to discover the ruins, so we gave you a day to notify the Starfall Pavilion to join the exploration. But now two days have passed, and the Starfall Pavilion members have arrived. Is it really appropriate for you to still be blocking the ruins like this?”

"That's right, this ruin is restricted to those below the Dou Zun level. You can't enter, and you won't let our people in either. Isn't that a bit too domineering!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Even if he is a four-star Dou Zun, let's all attack together to hold him off and let our men go in first. Otherwise, if we wait any longer, who knows how many more people will be attracted here. Once the seal is broken, our advantage of arriving early will probably be gone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire mountain range became tense.

Venerable Feng's expression turned even uglier. What he feared most had come to pass. These people had run out of patience, and the scene he least wanted to see had appeared.

Just then, a dragon's roar broke the gradually solidifying atmosphere.

"Xiao Xiaobai!"

The person who was pressing forward suddenly changed his expression and turned around to look at Venerable Feng. He found that Venerable Feng was now wearing a bright smile, and there was no trace of the gloom on his face just now.
