Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 400 What's wrong with being carefree? What's wrong with being wild?
"Great! Brother Gu Yao has finally arrived!"

"Let's see how arrogant Xiao Bai can be now! Brother Gu Yao is a top genius of our clan, not someone like that guy who doesn't even have the right bloodline!"

"Brother Gu Yao, you must seek justice for Ling Quan and Commander Yang Hao, and let him know that our clan is not without men!"

The uproar resumed, but this time it was no longer a simple roar of anger, but rather a kind of blind worship and trust.

Ancient Demons enjoy extremely high prestige among the younger generation of the ancient clans, and their strength is unfathomable. Even among the four commanders of the Black Annihilation Army, they rank among the top.

"How could this guy cultivate so quickly?"

Lei Zhen frowned slightly. He hadn't felt this much pressure when facing the ancient demon during the last exchange between the younger generation of the two clans.

"At least seven stars or higher."

Her senses were sharp; her beautiful eyes watched the indifferent young man who was stepping through the air, sensing the aura of desolation emanating from him, and she murmured softly.

The space kept collapsing and repairing, and the resulting pressure was many times more terrifying than Yang Hao's previous one.

Those emotionless eyes, like eternal ice, were fixed on Xiao Bai.

"I've waited for you for two years."

The ancient demon's voice rang out, cold and flat, without the slightest inflection, yet carrying an undeniable domineering air:

"Let's have a fair fight today!"

On the warship, Huo Zhi, Lei Zhen, and the others had solemn expressions. The aura of the ancient demon put immense pressure on them, and they couldn't help but turn their gaze to the bow of the ship. Recalling the rumors about him, they felt a slight sense of relief.

At the bow of the ship, Xiao Bai's eyes flickered slightly, finally turning his gaze directly to Gu Yao, but it was only a direct gaze; his dark eyes remained calm and deep, like a starry sky.

"fair?!"

He responded calmly, his tone so indifferent that it drove the group of young people from the ancient tribes crazy.

There has never been the concept of fairness between us.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yao frowned, somewhat puzzled by his meaning. Did he think that the resources and cultivation techniques they enjoyed were not equal, and that was why he said it was unfair?
Not only him, but the other members of the ancient clan watching below also had the same thought: Could it be that this guy is afraid?

Are you saying these things to gain sympathy?

Just as their excitement was building, the man spoke again, causing their smiles to harden.

"You're not qualified!"

Xiao Bai's casual words immediately plunged the entire ancient holy city into a moment of silence.

The ancient demon's icy face visibly darkened, and a hint of disbelief lingered in her eyes.
This person is even more arrogant than him!

Not qualified?!

These three words seemed to keep echoing in his ears. For so many years, ever since he could remember, he had been the most outstanding among his peers. Even Gu Qingyang would not dare to look down on him like this.

Hehe. Haha.

The ancient demon's deep laughter gradually rose, but there was no smile in his eyes, which were like solid ice that could freeze one's soul.

He stared intently at the black robe, his voice hoarse with anger:
"I will show you with my abilities who is truly unqualified!"

After saying that, Gu Yao said no more. He knew that only absolute strength could crush such an arrogant person's ridiculous confidence!

The vast and boundless battle energy, like a volcano dormant for ten thousand years, suddenly erupted from the ancient demon's body!
The battle aura soared into the sky, containing a destructive power that made one's soul tremble. The sky instantly darkened, as if even the light was being swallowed up by that destructive aura.

At this moment, the aura of a peak Seven-Star Dou Zun erupted without reservation. The powerful pressure made countless young people from ancient clans below tremble with excitement, and also made Lei Zhen, Huo Zhi and others turn slightly pale.

"Come and fight!"

The ancient demon roared, his black and white hair dancing wildly, his aura surging, filled with boundless killing intent.

"Open the Mountain Seal!"

The ancient demon's hand seals danced out afterimages, several times faster than Yang Hao's. In the blink of an eye, a huge palm print, hundreds of feet long, pressed down hard on the bow of the ship.

The violent energy fluctuations forced Lei Zhen and his companions to retreat repeatedly.

"go!"

Lei Zhen's expression changed drastically. He placed his hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and with a flash, he and his men disappeared from the warship in an instant. Huo Zhi, Yao Ling, and the others were not slow at all, and they also turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the void.

At the bow of the ship, only Xiao Bai remained.

The howling wind made his black robe flutter wildly as he looked at the handprint that was about to strike him, and raised his arm.

"Great Heavenly Creation Palm!"

The calm voice seemed to contain some profound truth, echoing leisurely between heaven and earth.

As he finished speaking, a pitch-black hole, no bigger than a palm, suddenly appeared in his raised palm.

Black holes are incredibly deep, seemingly connecting to the end of the universe, a place where all things return to nothingness, where even light cannot escape their pull.

As soon as it appeared, prices soared!
The howling wind suddenly turned violent, but instead of blowing towards Xiao Bai, it surged wildly towards the rapidly expanding black hole.

To everyone's astonishment, the black hole expanded at a speed beyond human comprehension, instantly transforming into a colossal structure hundreds of feet in size, stretching across the heavens and earth.

Its size was comparable to the enormous energy handprint of the ancient demon, which contained the power to split mountains and shatter rocks!

But the two give people completely different feelings!
The ancient demon's Mountain-Opening Seal possessed immense energy and a powerful presence, exuding an invincible and domineering aura.

The black hole in front of Xiao Bai's palm was only extremely still and empty. It did not make any loud noise, but instead swallowed up all the surrounding sounds, plunging into a terrifying silence.

The ancient demon's expression turned cold. The giant hand pushed against the black hole as if it were moving a star, and the pressure emanating from it made him tremble involuntarily.

"Mountain-Opening Seal, Sea-Covering Seal, Sky-Penetrating Seal!"

With a change of hand seals, he added several layers of hand seals to the Mountain-Opening Seal, and in an instant, the huge palm print swelled up again.

Upon witnessing this scene, countless people gasped in shock.
"I never expected that the Ancient Demon Commander could stack the four seals of the Emperor Seal Technique. This is already comparable to a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique. If the Ancient Emperor Seal is added, it will definitely be a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique!"

"It seems that the Great Creation Palm is no ordinary technique!"

"I never expected someone from the Northwest Region to possess such a fighting technique. No wonder he was so arrogant before!"

In the distance, Xiao Yan's ears twitched as he overheard the discussions among the young members of the ancient clans, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

So what if I'm from the Northwest?
Arrogant?

This is nothing! Among the powerful fighting techniques in Brother Bai's hands, the Great Creation Palm is almost insignificant; it's just the lowest level one!

These young people from ancient tribes are so ignorant!

"But why does Brother Bai's Great Creation Palm seem a bit different from the one in that Dou Sheng's rib? It feels much more powerful!"

Just as Xiao Yan was muttering to himself, the enormous handprint in mid-air slammed into the ever-expanding, pitch-black hole!
There was no earth-shattering energy explosion as expected.

The handprint that was powerful enough to pulverize a mountain peak was swallowed, decomposed, and annihilated by the black hole the instant it touched the edge of the black hole, just like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, or like mud and sand flowing into a bottomless abyss. It was swallowed, decomposed, and annihilated by the black hole at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The hundred-foot handprint kept disappearing at the front, but the back continued to rush forward due to inertia. This bizarre scene seemed to be a distortion of time and space!

In the blink of an eye, the enormous handprint of annihilation was completely swallowed up by the black hole, leaving no trace, as if it had never existed.

Having devoured such a massive amount of energy, the black hole seemed to have eaten its fill, its volume appearing to expand, trembling slightly, and its rotation speed becoming even more terrifying.

"How can it be?!"

The ancient demon's icy expression finally crumbled, and he gasped in horror, his eyes filled with incomprehensible shock!
His all-out attack was simply... devoured by the opponent with such ease?!
What kind of bizarre fighting technique is this?! I've never heard of it before!

Not only him, but all the ancient people who saw this scene felt their scalp tingle and a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
The Emperor's Seal Technique is an ancient clan's inherited fighting skill, which has long been one of the clan's signature fighting skills. Any member of the ancient clan can attest to its power.

Now that the ancient demon's four seals were stacked together, it was actually destroyed so quietly. You can imagine the shock in one's heart.

But what they didn't know was that just a moment ago, Xiao Bai's aura fluctuated rapidly a few times before returning to normal.

Clearly, this palm strike did have an effect on him.

Through his own understanding of Yin and Yang, and by observing the devouring properties of the Void Devouring Flame within his body, his Great Creation Palm is now completely different. Even if the Creation Saint were to be resurrected, he would find the revamped Great Creation Palm unfamiliar.

"A Heaven-rank combat skill, and not just any ordinary Heaven-rank combat skill!"

In a corner, two figures stood side by side, gazing at the black hole in the arena that had swallowed the Emperor's Seal Technique, slowly regaining their senses.

Gu Zhen let out a long breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, his eyes serious.

He never imagined that in just a few years, the person he once considered an ignorant 'arrogant fool' would grow to such an extent that even ancient demons would suffer losses at his hands.

"Brother Qingyang, do you think Commander Shura can take him down?"

Turning his head slightly, he noticed that the leader of the younger generation of the ancient clan beside him, whose usually calm and composed face was now slightly furrowed, no longer had the previous composure.

"Hard to say."

Gu Qingyang looked at the black-robed figure standing at the bow of the ship, who hadn't moved an inch even now, and shook his head slightly.
"I can't see through him!"

Gu Zhen was taken aback upon hearing this, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips. Just as he was about to say something, a loud roar came from the sky.

"Hmm? They actually forced the ancient demon to such a point!"

Hearing Gu Qingyang's shocked words, Gu Zhen hurriedly looked up.

At this moment, dark clouds filled the sky, and the ancient demon hovered in mid-air, his hands forming mysterious hand seals, and an aura of annihilation slowly rippled outwards.
In an instant, a sense of despair and hopelessness rose in the hearts of countless onlookers.

"Great Annihilation Technique!"

Gu Zhen gasped, his voice filled with barely concealed shock.

This technique is renowned among the ancient clans, but it is also infamous for its ferocity! The annihilating power it contains not only destroys enemies but also erodes one's own life force. It cannot be cultivated by those without strong bloodlines and unwavering will, nor dared to be practiced by those without great perseverance!

The ancient demon's signature half-white hair is proof of the price he paid to cultivate this technique!

At this moment, the sky darkened completely, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Endless aura of annihilation emanated from the ancient demon's body, transforming into wisps of gray energy that swirled around it.

Wherever these air currents passed, the space seemed to lose its vitality, becoming gray and lifeless, and even the energy of heaven and earth was forcibly transformed into pure destructive energy.

The ancient demon hovered beneath the gray sky, its face deathly pale, but its eyes were sharp as a hawk's, filled with a madness and determination that was as silent as all things!

As his hands moved in and out of hand seals, they created afterimages. Each change caused the surrounding aura of annihilation to surge violently.

"In the midst of annihilation, no life remains!"

The ancient demon suddenly bit its tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence that merged into the vast expanse of annihilation.

Chi Chi Chi!
As the essence and blood merged, the gray aura of annihilation seemed to be infused with a soul, instantly becoming violent and emitting a corrosive sound that made one's teeth ache. It gathered wildly above its head, eventually transforming into a gray vortex about a hundred feet in size!

The vortex spun slowly, its center a deep darkness, as if connected to the realm of death.

An indescribable, terrifying suction force emanated from it, but this suction force was not directed at physical objects, but rather at...life force!
In the ancient holy city below, some young people with slightly weaker cultivation levels who were closer to the edge suddenly felt the life force within their bodies about to burst out and surge towards the gray vortex. They were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies, and they retreated one after another, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Retreat quickly! Get away from the range of the annihilation vortex!" someone shouted in alarm, their voice filled with seriousness.

Everyone's heart was in their throats. They all felt the terror of that gray vortex, a fear that came from the very instinct of life!

"A mere Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, Xiao Bai, watch how I break your palm strike!"

The ancient demon's hoarse voice was like a groan from hell. He slowly raised one hand, and as his voice fell, he extended a finger, pointing directly at the huge black hole below.

"Nirvana Finger!"

Om-!
The enormous gray vortex trembled violently, and a hazy gray pillar of light condensed. Silently, a hundred-foot-long, pitch-black finger burst forth from the void.

There was no grand spectacle, no dazzling light, only an extreme stillness and nothingness!
Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be drained of all its vitality, becoming fragile and shattered inch by inch!

This is not a clash of energies, but an erosion of the rules governing life and death!

Faced with this bizarre and terrifying attack, a slight ripple finally appeared in Xiao Bai's usually calm black eyes, but it was only a slight one.

"Annihilation... devouring life force..." he murmured to himself, as if he were commenting on something.

He slowly raised his other hand, and wisps of golden and black lightning swirled around his fingertips, seemingly containing the profound meaning of the beginning of heaven and earth and the separation of yin and yang.

He gently tapped the pitch-black hole in front of him, which had slightly expanded and was slowly rotating after devouring the Emperor's Seal Technique.

hum!
Under this influence, the pitch-black hole, which originally only exuded pure devouring power, suddenly underwent a tremendous change!

At the center of the black hole, in the extreme darkness, a tiny, indistinct Tai Chi symbol faintly appeared!
Although it was only a fleeting moment, the instant the Tai Chi diagram appeared, the nature of the entire black hole seemed to undergo some kind of essential sublimation!

It no longer merely devours energy, but seems to devour everything, reducing the world to nothingness and returning it to chaos.

At that very moment, the enormous finger, containing the life force of annihilation, crashed into the transformed black hole!

Hee hee hee…!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a more chilling, violent reaction sound, like cold water being poured into boiling oil.

That chillingly desolate life force was forcibly stirred and decomposed the moment it came into contact with the black hole by the fleeting phantom of the Tai Chi diagram at the center of the black hole!
A portion of the annihilating power was mercilessly swallowed by the black hole, transforming into its rotating energy.

The other part of the life-stealing power was reversed and harmonized by the mysterious Yin-Yang power, and instead transformed into an incomparably pure life energy, which was fed back through the black hole!
The aura on Xiao Bai's body, which had been slightly fluctuating due to the use of the Great Creation Palm, instantly stabilized, and even rose slightly!

"What?!!"

"This is impossible!!!"

This time, not only the ancient demons, but all the knowledgeable ancient clan experts, including some people watching from the shadows, couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief!
The life-extinguishing power of the Great Annihilation Technique was actually... devoured by the opponent?!
And it can even be transformed into pure life force to nourish itself?!

This completely subverted their cognition!

The ancient demon watched helplessly as his most powerful trump card, which he had used in a desperate attempt, became nourishment for the enemy. His mind was instantly severely damaged, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. His aura weakened to the extreme, and the madness in his eyes was replaced by boundless horror.

monster!

A word suddenly popped into his mind: This person's methods were unheard of and could be described as bizarre!
On the other side, Xiao Bai felt the pure vitality emanating from his body and nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied.

He calmly looked at the ancient demon teetering in the distance, and the gray, desolate vortex that was gradually dissipating due to the loss of energy support.

"Your performance is over."

"Now, it's my turn."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently grasped the hand of the ancient demon from a distance.

The black hole, which had been suspended in mid-air and seemed to have become even more deep and terrifying after devouring the lifeless energy, trembled slightly.

The next moment, an indescribable, terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from the space where the ancient demon was located!

Click!Click!
That space instantly became covered with cracks like a mirror, and then completely collapsed, turning into absolute nothingness!

The ancient demon couldn't even let out a scream. He felt that his entire being, along with the surrounding space, light, energy, and everything else, was about to be torn apart and pulled by that irresistible force, thrown into the pitch-black abyss that represented the end!

His protective battle aura shattered like paper, and streaks of blood began to appear on his body. Blood was uncontrollably drawn out and disappeared into the black hole!
death!

An unprecedented closeness!
"stop!"

The shout, filled with shock and anger, exploded like thunder from the heavens!
A powerful aura suddenly erupted, like an ancient divine mountain awakening, carrying overwhelming pressure as it crushed towards Xiao Bai and the devouring black hole!

At the same time, a giant energy hand pierced through space and grabbed at the ancient demon that was about to be devoured!

This scene left all the ancient people horrified!
They never expected Xiao Bai to be so ruthless, daring to commit violence in the Ancient Holy City!

Xiao Bai's eyes remained calm, and under that oppressive aura, he stood tall and remained silent.

"Crack!"

The black hole trembled violently a few times before shattering abruptly.

Pfft!
The ancient demon, having lost the pull of its suction, plummeted straight down from mid-air like a puppet with its strings cut, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He lay in the deep pit, his clothes torn and covered in blood, his breath extremely weak. Although he was out of danger, he was clearly seriously injured.

At this moment, the entire ancient holy city fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were fixed on the black-robed youth who slowly withdrew his hand, his clothes remaining perfectly neat.

He single-handedly crushed Ling Quan, Yang Hao, and Gu Yao, effortlessly neutralizing all their deadly moves, and hasn't even moved an inch since.

This strength, this composure, this domineering presence!

Simply appalling!
Xiao Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the deathly silent crowd below.

The calm voice, like thunder from the heavens, resounded deep within the souls of everyone present.
"Zixiao Palace, Xiao Bai."

"I have come to pay a visit to the ancient clan today!"

As the sound faded, the entire city fell silent.

All the pride and provocation of the younger generation of the ancient tribe were utterly crushed into dust at this moment!

"Young man, such recklessness is going too far!"

That thunderous shout rang out again, filled with barely suppressed rage.

Space distorted, and the figure of an old man in white robes appeared, his face ashen, his eyes like lightning, fixed on Xiao Bai.

"Half Saint!"

Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression remaining unchanged, and said calmly:
"Crazy?"

"What does it matter if they are lenient? What does it matter if they are arrogant? If you think they are no good and want to take action yourself, then come and fight! I will accept the challenge!"

Xiao Bai's words were calm and even, but they caused an uproar among all the young people of the ancient clans. They stared in disbelief at the black-robed youth with a disdainful look in his eyes.

Damn, what an arrogant guy!

That was a half-saint. If he didn't know, they could attribute it to his ignorance, but since Elder Gushan revealed his cultivation level the moment he appeared, it wasn't ignorance.
This is insanely arrogant!

"Child is arrogant!"

The white-robed elder's face instantly turned ashen, and the space around him distorted violently with rage. His immense pressure, like a tangible mountain, crashed down on Xiao Bai and the warship behind him.

The power of a half-saint is like the collapse of the heavens, vast and boundless, far beyond what the Dou Zun realm can compare to.

The overwhelming pressure crashed down, causing the space itself to groan under its strain, its target the black-robed figure at the bow of the ship.

Under this terrifying pressure, Xiao Bai's body swayed almost imperceptibly.

"Humph……"

A very faint groan, yet unusually clear in the deathly silence, escaped from his throat.

Immediately afterwards, a scene unfolded that caused the pupils of all the ancient clans members, including the white-robed half-saint Gu Shan who had attacked in anger, to shrink drastically—

Xiao Bai's solid figure blurred and distorted for a moment with that muffled groan, like a reflection in water being rippled by a stone thrown in.

Although it was only for a very brief moment and quickly returned to normal, that eerie "illusion" was imprinted vividly on the eyes of everyone who was watching closely!
The space around him rippled slightly, and the edges of his black robe seemed to fade, no longer as solid as before.

“That’s…?!”
