Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 378 Xiao Yan: One day, I will also reach this level!
The dark chains intertwined into a net, forcing the members of the Soul Palace to retreat continuously.

Venerable Feng and his companions were watching the show; naturally, they had no goodwill towards the Soul Palace.

However, as he looked around, he noticed something was amiss. It seemed that the Soul Palace was intentionally bringing the remains of the Dou Sheng closer to this place. After a slight pause, his expression immediately turned grim.

"These bastards!"

They naturally saw through the Soul Palace's plan: to shift the blame eastward!
Qingxiao narrowed her eyes, a hint of disgust flashing in them. These people from the Soul Palace really didn't take her seriously.

Seeing that the remains of the Dou Sheng were about to step into the area covered by Xiao Baijin and Hei lightning, she raised her hand lightly, and countless petals fell down, preparing to give a warning.

But they found that the skeleton of the Battle Saint suddenly stopped and stood at the edge of the golden and black lightning, with red light pulsating violently in its eyes.

The Soul Palace members were taken aback for a moment, then a hint of joy flashed in their eyes. Seizing this opportunity, they formed hand seals and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the white bones.

"bang bang bang"

The immense battle energy surged onto the skeleton's body, even dimming the swirling crimson color. Yet, the skeleton of the Battle Saint remained standing there, motionless, only the red light in its two empty eye sockets grew ever more intense.

Just as the members of the Soul Palace were about to continue their attack, the Nine Heavens Venerable, who had been blocking their way, felt uneasy, as if some great terror was about to befall them.

"go!"

With a flicker of thought, he trusted his intuition and, without hesitation, turned to leave.

The other elders were slightly taken aback. With the Dou Sheng skeleton not fighting back at all, they wondered why the Nine Heavens Venerable was retreating when such a good opportunity had presented itself.

Are we supposed to wait until those people under the thunder are dealt with before we make our move to seize it?
Just as their thoughts were racing, the skeleton of the Battle Saint not far away suddenly raised its head, let out a long roar, and a vague, deep voice, carrying the vicissitudes of ancient times, suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Great Creation Palm!"

When the members of the Soul Palace heard this intermittent sound coming from beside their ears, their hair stood on end, and an extremely dangerous feeling instantly spread throughout the depths of their souls.

Even Venerable Feng and Tang Zhen's expressions changed drastically, and they had an urge to turn around and run away.

Without hesitation, the Nine Heavens Venerable stretched out his hands, preparing to tear through space and escape directly. Seeing this, several other elders followed suit.

But in the blink of an eye, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes revealed horror.

The space in front of them was now as hard as steel, impossible to tear apart.

Seeing this, they didn't hesitate and turned to run. But as soon as they turned around, the air around them seemed incredibly thick, and their usually proud speed was now reduced to nothing.

"Xiao Bai."

The Nine Heavens Venerable roared to the sky, now fully aware that it was the constantly rotating pattern above his head that was causing the trouble.

Just now, he felt a powerful pressure descend from above, like the might of heaven, rendering him unable to move at all. Moreover, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the other elders of the Soul Hall were experiencing the same thing.

wrong!

It seems that Zhaixing did not step into the pattern's area; at this point, only a small silhouette can be seen.

"asshole!"

The Nine Heavens Venerable's face turned ashen, and he cursed angrily, though it was unclear whether he was cursing Zhaixing or Xiao Bai.

Just then, his soul trembled slightly, as if it was about to leave his body. Following his senses, he looked down and his eyes twitched violently.

At this moment, the crimson blood on the skeleton of the Battle Saint continued to flow into his right palm, and a small black dot gradually formed on his palm, which made people's hearts tremble. The strange feeling in the soul came from this place.

Knowing that escape was hopeless, his powerful fighting spirit surged, creating layers upon layers of dark water curtains around his body.

Just then, the skeleton of the Battle Saint raised his right palm and slammed the black dot into the space in front of him.

"laugh!"

The void shattered, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a constantly twisting, pitch-black halo, resembling a black hole, which suddenly scattered outwards.

"Lord Nine Heavens, save me!"

As the halo approached, the other elders were terrified. Wherever the halo touched, the space turned into nothingness, leaving only a chilling black void.

Trees, rocks, and all tangible matter seemed to have been wiped away out of thin air, leaving no trace.

"Celestial-Rank Battle Technique!"

Tang Zhen and the others watched this scene, their hearts skipped a beat, and they involuntarily moved closer to Qingxiao.

Right now, only this semi-saint powerhouse can give them a sense of security.

"Phew, that was close! My caution earlier was definitely correct. That guy is truly ruthless!"

After running far enough, Old Ghost Zhaixing cautiously looked back and immediately saw the horrifying scene of the elders being erased, causing his body to tremble violently.

He glanced at Xiao Bai, who was still sitting cross-legged in the void with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but swallow hard, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Having witnessed others stepping into the area of ​​the lightning, and having learned from his previous mistakes at Xiao Bai's hands, he had been hovering on the edge and had not stepped in.

In retrospect, it was a truly wise decision.

"So strong!"

Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine. A terrifying suction force emanated from the ever-expanding, eerie black halo, making him feel as if he were being forcibly pulled towards it.

This was only a few miles away; one can imagine how powerful the suction force would be if we were at the edge of that black hole right now.

"Om-"

An invisible wave suddenly spread out from behind him, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze. He immediately felt the suction force from the black hole being smoothed out by this strange wave, and his body felt lighter.

"My lord!" the little golden dragon exclaimed in delight.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.
Xiao Bai, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His pupils were as deep as stars, and there seemed to be a dragon and a phoenix phantom connected end to end, flowing endlessly.

Everyone paused for a moment, feeling that the image looked somewhat familiar. Suddenly, they looked up and realized that the rotating dragon and phoenix were remarkably similar to the rotating Tai Chi symbol above their heads.

"Yin and Yang, life and death, Nirvana."

The illusory image in Xiao Bai's eyes dissipated, and he slowly stood up, his black robe fluttering without wind.

He took a step forward and landed in front of the crowd. His gaze slowly swept over the familiar faces, and he seemed slightly dazed.

"Xiao Bai, you..."

Yun Yun frowned slightly. She keenly sensed that Xiao Bai's gaze had been somewhat unfamiliar just now. Her heart skipped a beat, and a trace of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"It's alright, I'm fine!" Xiao Bai's mind cleared up, and he shook his head.

He had just absorbed the souls of the dragon and the phoenix, and it was as if he had witnessed the scene after their fall, and how, with the passage of time, their powers gradually merged to give birth to the origin of the dragon and the phoenix. For a moment, he felt as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Xiao Bai, I can't quite see through your strength."

Venerable Feng was truly shocked. Xiao Bai appeared to have no aura at all, but his eyes gave him an extremely strong sense of pressure.

"It's just a slight breakthrough."

Xiao Bai smiled, then looked at Qing Xiao and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your help, senior."

Qingxiao shook his head slightly: "I wasn't much of a help either."

She looked at Xiao Bai with complicated emotions, "What realm are you in now?" She remembered that he had just broken through from a three-star Dou Zun to a four-star Dou Zun in the Flower Sect last time, but now she couldn't quite see through Xiao Bai's realm.

"Eight-Star Dou Zun!"

"Eight stars?!"

Qingxiao was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief. How could an eight-star Dou Zun give her a feeling of being unable to see through him?

"No. Your soul?"

Qingxiao then noticed something was off about his soul. After sensing it carefully for a moment, his eyes twitched violently, and his voice became somewhat dry:

"Heavenly Realm!"

The air around them suddenly became still, and everyone's gaze was fixed on Xiao Bai. Some were shocked, while others were bewildered but impressed.

"A Celestial Soul?!"

Tang Zhen gasped. As the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley and an alchemy enthusiast, he naturally knew what a Heavenly Realm Soul meant—a realm that many semi-saints could hardly reach!
Venerable Wind's throat bobbed, and he said with a wry smile, "You really are something else."

"abnormal!"

Xiao Yan stared blankly, then subconsciously replied.

He had already learned about the realm of the soul from the old doctor. Even his teacher had not reached this realm, so one can imagine how difficult it was.

"Teacher, what is the Celestial Realm?"

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Nalan Yanran felt somewhat out of place. She quietly tugged at Yun Yun's sleeve, only to find her teacher staring blankly at the teacher, her clear, beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

“! Nalan Yanran.”

"It's not quite at the Heavenly Realm yet!"

Xiao Bai shook his head, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "Let's call it half-step Heavenly Realm for now!"

He wasn't lying; he could already feel the barrier of the Heavenly Realm crumbling, but he couldn't break through it, as if he was always just a little short.

However, he didn't take it to heart. He figured he would break through sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

Compared to those who are stuck at the peak of the Spirit Realm and have no way out, his current state is something they can only dream of.

Qingxiao took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and shook his head with a wry smile:

"Half-step Heavenly Realm. That's enough to make one stand out from the crowd."

The most crucial sign of breaking through to the Saint level is that the soul can reach the Heavenly Realm. However, if one can reach the Heavenly Realm of the soul in advance, then breaking through to the Dou Sheng level is not a sure thing, but it is almost certain.

If her soul could reach the Heavenly Realm first, she would be absolutely confident in breaking through to that realm.

Unfortunately, the soul is not her forte.

Looking at the guy in front of her, she suddenly felt a pang of envy. He was only in his early twenties and had already reached such a level. She felt a mix of emotions.

A century of arduous cultivation was no match for someone else's ten-plus years of practice, which made her begin to doubt her own talent, which she was so proud of.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly, said nothing, and turned to look at the dark circle of light that had spread hundreds of feet away. With a step, his figure disappeared in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was standing on the dark halo, with gold and black intertwined beneath his feet, resisting the strange suction force.

"Using yin to control yang, breaking the sky with the palm, and shattering all things with force, it truly possesses a trace of the power of creation!"

Xiao Bai's eyes swirled with the principles of Yin and Yang, and with his understanding of Yin and Yang, he could discern some of the key points of this Heaven-Rank Fighting Technique.

"However, his understanding of Yin and Yang is still lacking; otherwise, this fighting technique would be more than just a low-level Heavenly Rank!"

He whispered softly, then slowly raised his palm. In his palm, gold and black intertwined and collided, faintly forming a vortex similar to the dark halo.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed down hard with his palm, and the golden-black vortex suddenly expanded, actually enveloping the dark halo within it.

"Rumble--"

A rumbling sound, like muffled thunder, seemed to resound between heaven and earth. Two completely different forces collided and devoured each other, causing space to twist and crack continuously, yet gradually stabilized under some mysterious balance.

In the distance, everyone stared in disbelief at this scene.

"He...he actually learned it after just one glance?!" Tang Zhen's voice trembled slightly. "This is a Heaven-rank combat skill, not a Yellow-rank one!!!"

He was somewhat bewildered. He had never seen anything like this before. He hadn't even glanced at the contents of the technique, yet he could use it in a seemingly accurate manner and even dared to challenge the original!
Qingxiao stared intently at Xiao Bai and shook his head: "No, he didn't learn it!"

As she spoke, a strange light flickered in her beautiful eyes, and she murmured:
"Using the power of Yin and Yang to reverse creation—this guy's understanding of the intent behind this fighting technique is even deeper than that of the master who created it."

Xiao Yan stared intently at the figure, his fists clenching unconsciously, a fighting spirit surging within him like never before.
"One day, I will reach that level too!"

"Click——"

With a crisp sound, the pitch-black halo finally succumbed to the engulfing power of the golden-black vortex and shattered completely, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the world.

"Xiao Bai!"

A weak voice, filled with boundless rage and gritted teeth, rang out amidst the countless dissipating points of light.

"What kind of look is that? Based on what I just did, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I saved your life. It's one thing that you're not grateful, but you actually dare to glare at your savior?"

Xiao Bai glanced at the miserable Nine Heavens Venerable, who was covered in blood, half of his body swallowed by the dark halo, his only remaining left arm firmly supporting him on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Save my life?"

His voice was hoarse, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"If you hadn't secretly manipulated space, how could I, the Celestial Venerable, have achieved this?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Bai suddenly raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning, interwoven with gold and black, descended from the sky, striking precisely an inch in front of the Nine Heavens Venerable.

"Think about it before you speak."

Xiao Bai said calmly, "It's okay if you can't figure it out. The next one will fall on your head."

Judging from Jiutianzun's previous actions, it was clear that Hunxuzi had not revealed his affairs to the Soul Palace. If he didn't want to completely break with the Soul Palace now, he wouldn't have broken the fighting technique directly just now.

If we don't break it, this guy is definitely going to die.

A celestial being with a title is ultimately different from an elder, even though he is ranked last.

As for those elders, they should be held accountable for the price they paid for framing him.

The Nine Heavens Venerable trembled and swallowed the rest of his words.

Seeing this, the old ghost who was watching from a distance broke out in a cold sweat and quietly retreated several hundred feet.

Xiao Bai glanced at him, too lazy to pay him any attention. It was a miracle that this guy survived. If he had stepped into the Taiji Diagram's range just now, his fate would have been no different from those elders.

He withdrew his gaze and landed on the remains of the Dou Sheng. At this moment, the red light in his eyes had dimmed, but he did not make any move. He just stared blankly at the Tai Chi diagram spinning under Xiao Bai's feet.

"Yin and Yang. Creation!"

The voice was clear, less somber than before, and more peaceful, and tinged with regret.
