Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 388 Farewell, sorry to have bothered you!

"Gudong."

The little golden dragon perched on Xiao Bai's shoulder swallowed hard, its eyes wide with shock as it stared blankly at the enormous creature below, murmuring in awe:

"so big!"

A look of surprise flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and he nodded in agreement. Even though he had seen it with his soul power before, he was still quite shocked at this moment.

Beneath the stone gate in the darkness, a colossal creature, its length unseen, coiled, its body a purplish-gold color, covered in cold, icy scales that gleamed like molten metal.

Just then, a burst of bright light illuminated the entire sealed space, and the enormous dragon body rapidly shrank. In just a few breaths, a tall and imposing middle-aged man emerged from the light.

His disheveled golden hair cascaded down his back, and he walked with a powerful stride. His majestic golden eyes were fixed on Zi Yan, and his tone was filled with delight:
"Yan'er."

He walked up to Zi Yan, instinctively reaching out his hands to hug her, but hesitated halfway, a look of doubt in his eyes, and asked cautiously:

"May I?"

Zi Yan's eyes reddened slightly. Upon hearing this, she glared at him, stepped forward, and gently hugged him.

"Good child, good child, you've suffered so much these past years!"

Zhu Kun froze slightly, momentarily at a loss. After a moment, he slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Zi Yan's little head. The sternness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of affection, and the smile on his face was impossible to hide.

"Hmph, you know that much!"

Zi Yan rubbed her little head against his thick palm and let out a soft hum.

After a while, the father and daughter calmed down. Ziyan sniffed and let go of Zhukun.

"Haha. Kid, not bad, not bad. In just a few years, you've gone from Dou Huang to Dou Zun, and your foundation is solid. You're quite like me back in my day!"

Seeing that Zi Yan was no longer there and didn't treat him the same way as last time, Zhu Kun was in a great mood. He walked over and patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder, praising him in his tone.

“!!” Xiao Bai.

Feeling the force on his shoulder, he was speechless. Could this be a tradition of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void? Hei Qing did it, and Zhu Kun did it too.

If it were someone with a weaker physique, they would have already fallen to the ground and staged an accident!

"Nine Profound Golden Thunder?"

Zhu Kun's gaze fell on Xiao Bai's shoulder, looking at the little golden dragon with a surprised expression.

He had never seen such a weak Nine Profound Golden Lightning before, but the little guy did have his aura on him.

"Senior, do you know Xiao Jin?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes. In the past, even he had only guessed, but this was the first time someone had directly called Xiao Jin Jiu Xuan Jin Lei.

"You don't know yourself?" Zhu Kun was taken aback. He had just been thinking how lucky Xiao Bai was to have obtained such a peculiar pet.

Seeing him shake his head, a look of reminiscence appeared in Zhu Kun's eyes, and he continued:

"Back then, near Dragon Island, there was a small Thunder Pool. I remember once passing by there, I saw a wisp of Nine Profound Golden Thunder in the center of the pool showing signs of developing sentience, so I casually helped it. So many years have passed, I wonder if it succeeded or not?"

"Couldn't Xiao Jin be the one you enlightened back then?" Zi Yan had heard Zhu Li mention the disappearance of the Thunder Pool.

"impossible!"

Zhu Kun shook his head, the look of reminiscence fading from his eyes. He looked at the little guy on Xiao Bai's shoulder and slowly said:
"If it succeeds, it will probably turn into something like this too, but it will be much more powerful than this little guy!"

His original plan was to wait for the Nine Profound Golden Thunder to successfully take form, then lead it to Ancient Dragon Island to add a powerful figure to his clan. However, an unexpected incident occurred, and he himself was trapped, so he naturally couldn't take care of anything else.

"!" Little Golden Dragon.

Are you polite?

Xiao Bai now had a better understanding of the ancient dragon clan's past glory. These guys, with their spatial talents, had probably seen quite a few good things.

Like three thousand raging flames, like nine profound golden thunders
There are countless other varieties cultivated!
"By the way, my dear girl, I sensed in the Dragon Emperor Seal that you encountered the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. How did those feathered creatures provoke you?"

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Kun brought the floating seal to his grasp. He was puzzled as to how Zi Yan could be forced into such a dangerous situation by a five-star Dou Sheng when he had his token.

Could it be that I've been gone for too long and those old guys in the clan have gotten too cocky?
"Here, this."

Zi Yan opened her delicate white hand, and the mark shone brightly, slowly releasing a strange aura.

"This is... the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit?!"

Excitement gradually appeared in Zhu Kun's eyes. He leaned closer to examine it for a moment, then pointed, and a palm-sized purple-gold fruit floated in front of him.

"It really is the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. Hahaha. My daughter has such great luck, actually managing to obtain something that is only seen once in ten thousand years!"

Zhu Kun laughed loudly, for even with his temperament, he could not remain indifferent to this fruit.

"This isn't just good luck; Xiao Bai helped me find it." Zi Yan took Xiao Bai's big hand and shook it, her big eyes slightly narrowed, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun's gaze returned to Xiao Bai, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had originally thought that the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was an opportunity that Zi Yan had found herself, but he hadn't expected it to be a gift from this young man.

"Kid, you're quite willing to spend money," Zhu Kun said meaningfully, his tone carrying a hint of admiration.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly and said frankly, "Zi Yan needs it, so I'll get it for her. There's nothing I'm reluctant to do."

Zhu Kun stared at Xiao Bai for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Good! What a fine 'nothing to be reluctant about'! No wonder my daughter is so close to you, you lad are just to my liking!"

"but."

The smile on his face slowly faded. He glanced at their clasped hands, a complex emotion welling up inside him. His tone was tinged with a warning:

"If anyone dares to bully my daughter in the future, I, the Emperor, will..."

"I am now the Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan!" Zi Yan blushed slightly and interrupted Zhu Kun.

“.!” Zhu Kun.

His lips twitched slightly, and he forced a smile, forcing a dry laugh:
"You are the emperor to me, and you should be the emperor too."

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes, thinking of his own Qing'er. He knew he had to keep a close eye on her in the future, otherwise his heart wouldn't be able to take it if this scene were to repeat itself.

"You've come here for the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, haven't you?"

Faced with his daughter's unyielding attitude, Zhu Kun felt a little heartbroken and simply stopped caring and changed the subject.

“That’s right. Elder Candlelight said to take it directly, but I don’t think it’s safe. I’d better consult a senior before making a decision.”

Xiao Bai understood Zhu Kun's feelings to some extent. He gently squeezed Zi Yan's tightly clenched hand, and only spoke after she let go.

"Candlelight?"

Zhu Kun nodded, a hint of recollection in his eyes. "That little guy was just a naive kid back then. You were right to come to me. Otherwise, if you had listened to that naive kid, Yan'er might have been overwhelmed by the energy contained in this fruit!"

“However, it’s understandable that Zhu Huo doesn’t know, but what about Zhu Xun? Doesn’t he know?” “Zhu Xun? Is there such a person on Donglong Island?” Zi Yan was slightly taken aback. She knew all the people with names on Donglong Island, but she had never heard of this name before.

"Donglong Island?"

Zhu Kun also frowned slightly. He seemed to sense something unusual. Since the ancient dragon clan had been recorded, their main base had always been Ancient Dragon Island. When did it change its name?

"Hmph, it's all because of those three bastards!" Zi Yan's eyes flashed with anger as she explained the current state of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

"what?"

Zhu Kun's powerful voice boomed, unleashing a formidable pressure that enraged the person before they even finished listening.
"You wicked creature! How dare you do such a thing, splitting Dragon Island, colluding with foreign tribes, and harming my son! How dare they!"

"And those bastards, Zhu Xun, didn't leave a couple to guard the place, they all ran away without a trace, leaving only that idiot Zhu Huo to hold the fort. When did our clan decline to this state?"

"Hmph, you have the nerve to talk about others? Aren't you the same?" Zi Yan crossed her arms, snorted, and rolled her big eyes upwards.

"Uh"

The anger in Zhu Kun's eyes faltered, and his face turned somewhat embarrassed. It seemed that he really had started it all, disappearing for tens of thousands of years. Otherwise, the clan would not have become like this.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger and guilt, his gaze regaining its calm, and said in a deep voice:

"Yan'er, don't worry, once I'm free, I will personally deal with those three traitors and avenge you!"

Zi Yan pouted: "Wait for you to get out of trouble? When will that be? I am now the emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan. I am the person primarily responsible for all matters, big and small, in the clan. You don't need to worry about me."

Zhu Kun was speechless after being rebuked by his daughter. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He hadn't expected his daughter to care so much about the affairs of the clan. He felt ashamed and somewhat disappointed at the same time.

As an elderly father, hearing about his daughter's current situation, even though it was something he could easily resolve with a wave of his hand, he felt helpless at this moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai spoke up at the right time: "Senior, the most important thing right now is for Zi Yan to take the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. If she transforms into the Dragon-Phoenix Supreme Body, then the others will naturally no longer be a problem."

"Hmm? Not bad, not bad, this method is good. Haha, in this way, my son's status as emperor will naturally be legitimate, and he will not need to be subservient to others. Whoever dares to disobey, we will beat them into submission!"

Zhu Kun was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter. He had almost forgotten about the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit after suddenly hearing about the great changes in the clan.

His gaze fell upon the purple-gold fruit beside him.

"The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit contains an enormous amount of energy, so it's definitely not advisable to consume it directly. However, I have a way to ensure that Yan'er can absorb it safely."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and an ancient jade slip appeared in his palm:
"This is our clan's secret 'Dragon and Phoenix Body Refining Technique,' compiled and summarized by an elder in our clan who consumed the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit. It is specifically used to refine the energy of the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit. Yan'er, you should learn this secret technique first, and then I will protect you."

Zi Yan took the jade slip, placed it between her eyebrows, and opened her eyes after a moment: "This cultivation method is so complicated."

"No rush, take your time."

Zhu Kun looked at her lovingly, "With your talent, I believe you will master it soon. Besides, absorbing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is not something that can be accomplished overnight. During this time, you will stay with your father. If there is anything, your father will be able to guide you as soon as possible!"

"How long will it take?" Zi Yan had a bad feeling and frowned slightly.

"It will take at least two or three years, and at most seven or eight years. Don't worry, this time will pass in the blink of an eye!" Zhu Kun hurriedly explained, afraid that she would become impatient.

For him, a few years is just a matter of taking a nap.

If he hadn't known about the troubles in the clan and hadn't been afraid of scaring the girl away, he would have wanted to stay a few more years and let his daughter stay here with him longer.

"Two or three years?" Zi Yan bit her lip, looked at Xiao Bai, and her eyes showed some reluctance.

"Don't worry! There's still a long time ahead. I'm waiting for you to break through to the Dou Sheng realm so you can protect me!" Xiao Bai patted her head gently and said.

"Hmph, in two or three years, you yourself are probably already on the path to breakthrough!" Zi Yan stared at him blankly, then turned her head away and pouted as she spoke.

However, after saying that, she still picked up the jade slip and looked at it carefully.

"Senior, how's your research on that ancient jade going? Have you found a way to escape?"

Seeing her actions, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, withdrew his hand, and looked at Zhu Kun, asking about his unfinished words from before.

"Let's go talk over there!"

Zhu Kun pointed to the huge square in front of the stone gate in the distance, glanced at Zi Yan who was focused on studying the secret technique, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He was looking forward to the time he would spend with his daughter.

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the square. Xiao Bai followed him.

"Remember what I told you before? The method exists, but it's practically useless, isn't it?"

Zhu Kun arrived at the plaza, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the towering stone gate in front of him. His eyes seemed to hold anger, hatred, and regret.
"Remember!"

Xiao Bai's gaze also fell on the stone gate, and a trace of apprehension flashed in his eyes as he looked at the four ancient and domineering characters at the top.

Ancient Emperor's Cave!

"The only method I've figured out so far that doesn't require collecting all the ancient jade pieces is for four people to hold four pieces of ancient jade and work together to pry open this damned seal so I can escape!"

"Four pieces of ancient jade?" Xiao Bai's heart sank. These were all half of a complete piece of Tuoshe ancient jade.

"Not bad!"

Zhu Kun nodded, sighed softly, and said, "I'm sure you've already guessed it. Those four people aren't just anyone; they have to be at least not much weaker than me!"

“!!” Xiao Bai.

Goodbye, sorry to bother you!

He instantly had the urge to turn around and leave. Four ancient jade pieces, and four peak Dou Sheng.

Four pieces of ancient jade are alright; we can always borrow them from a few clans. But where are we going to find four peak Dou Sheng?

Currently, there are only three people on the entire continent, including Zhu Kun himself, and one of them is the Soul Emperor.

Going down this path is not as reliable as just helping the Soul Clan collect the ancient jade directly!
"That's why I said this method is practically useless!"

Seeing the twitching at the corner of Xiao Bai's mouth, Zhu Kun's eyes remained calm, and his tone showed little disappointment.

"Is there really no other way?"

Xiao Bai was still somewhat unwilling to give up. If Zhu Kun could escape, with this powerful backer, he wouldn't need to worry too much about the Soul Clan. He still vividly remembered Hun Xuzi's arrogant attitude last time.

"Have!"

After a moment of silence, Zhu Kun nodded slightly.

"Please tell me, senior!"

Having learned from past mistakes, Xiao Bai was very cautious this time, fearing that Zhu Kun might come up with another earth-shattering idea.

"I tried it again recently, and it surprised me!" Zhu Kun looked up at the void above his head and said slowly.

"What surprise?"
