Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 407 You dare to stop my men and still say we should keep to ourselves?
"Xiao Bai? He does seem to have some skill."

At the edge of the ancient cliff, the spatial rift completely closed, and the last trace of ancient aura was also isolated.

The Soul Emperor stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his handsome and refined face revealing no emotion, only a faint hint of surprise flashing across his deep eyes as he gazed in the direction where the Heavenly Tomb had disappeared.

The sudden burst of purple lightning was pure and domineering, carrying a strange power that made even a peak nine-star Dou Sheng like him feel a slight tremor. Although it was weak, its essence was terrifyingly high.

The Soul Emperor murmured to himself, then looked at Gu Yuan, whose face was icy cold, and smiled faintly.
"Gu Yuan, you've certainly found a good son-in-law!"

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, his aura surging as he locked onto the Soul Emperor:

"Soul Emperor, you have trespassed into my Ancient Realm and even attempted to attack a junior. Do you really think my Ancient Clan has no one to rely on?"

"Hehe, I was just curious to take a look."

The Soul Emperor flicked his sleeves, seemingly unconcerned.

"Alright, now that we're here, perhaps we should catch up."

The auras of the two supreme beings from the continent collided silently in the air, causing space to twist, collapse, and then heal without a sound, with the sound of energy tides echoing between heaven and earth.

Within the ancient realm, powerful auras soared into the sky, rapidly hurtling towards this direction.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Tomb.

An ancient, wild atmosphere pervades the air; the sky is an eternally somber hue, and the earth is a dark red, as if it has been soaked in endless blood.

Thin mists of energy drifted in the air, and a chilling roar of energy could be faintly heard in the distance.

Gu Qingyang, Gu Hua, Gu Xing, and other outstanding young members of the ancient clan, along with Xiao Yan, successively stabilized their figures and landed on a desolate red plain.

The shock from the clash of the two supreme experts and the slight dizziness from the spatial teleportation still lingered on everyone's faces.

"We're in!" A member of the ancient clan breathed a sigh of relief.

The moment Xun'er landed, her pretty face paled slightly, her bright eyes frantically scanning her surroundings, her voice tinged with panic:
"Brother Xiao Bai?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked around.

Aside from those few familiar faces, where is Xiao Bai's shadow?

"Xiao Bai?"

Everyone was startled, and their soul power spread out rapidly, but within their perception range, they could only detect some weak and chaotic energy auras, and could not detect even a trace of Xiao Bai's aura.

"What...what just happened?"

Gu Zhen recalled in a solemn tone, "I only heard Xiao Bai seem to roar, then a blinding purple light burst forth, and then the spatial restraints disappeared, and we were thrown in."

Gu Qingyang's expression was solemn as he nodded.

"That's right. That purple lightning must have been Brother Xiao Bai's doing. If he hadn't unleashed it at the last minute, we probably wouldn't have been able to enter the Heavenly Tomb smoothly. It seems that the target we were just targeting was mainly him."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The Soul Emperor was a terrifying existence on par with his own clan patriarch. He was deliberately targeting Xiao Bai, so you can imagine what Xiao Bai's situation was like at the time.

Xun'er's heart clenched instantly, her slender hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.

She had been staying by Xiao Bai's side the whole time, and her senses were clearer than the others. The moment they entered the Heavenly Tomb, she clearly felt an irresistible force preventing them from entering.

It was Xiao Bai who sent them all in at the last moment, but he himself disappeared without a trace.

“Brother Xiao Bai”

Xun'er's voice trembled slightly, and a trace of his warm breath seemed to linger on her jade-like hands.

She suppressed her worry and panic, but tried her best to remain calm.

"He must be somewhere right now, we have to find him!"

One of the ancient clan members nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice:
"Xun'er, don't worry. He can break free from the spatial constraints of the Soul Emperor, and his strength far surpasses ours. Even if he encounters danger, he will definitely be able to turn the situation around."

Gu Qingyang, the strongest and most composed among them, took a deep breath, suppressing the panic among the clan's geniuses caused by the appearance of the Soul Emperor, and spoke:

“Gu Hua is right. The interior of the Heavenly Tomb is extremely vast and fraught with danger. Blindly searching for it is not a wise move. Brother Xiao Bai is incredibly powerful; perhaps he is somewhere in the Heavenly Tomb right now.”

He looked at Xun'er: "Xun'er, you know that the first level of the Heavenly Tomb is relatively safe, but the deeper you go, the stronger the energy bodies become, and the more opportunities there are. Brother Xiao Bai's goal is obviously the depths. If we stay on the periphery to search, we might miss it. Why don't we stick to our original plan, cultivate while cautiously advancing deeper, leaving special marks along the way? If Brother Xiao Bai sees them, he will naturally follow the trail."

Although this suggestion is unavoidable, it is currently the most rational choice.

Xun'er bit her lip, knowing full well that Gu Qingyang was right.

With Brother Xiao Bai's abilities, if he escapes, he will definitely go to the core area.

She forcefully suppressed her worries, a hint of determination flashing in her beautiful eyes:
"Alright! Let's go deeper! Brother Xiao Bai will be alright, he'll definitely come looking for us!"

……

Just as Gu Qingyang, Xiao Yan, and their group were discussing and making plans, and began to cautiously venture deeper into the first level of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Bai was in a completely different place.

This is not the gloomy, reddish earth of the Heavenly Tomb, but a bizarre space with distorted colors and a strange, surreal atmosphere.

Countless fragments of space floated around like shattered mirrors, reflecting fragmented scenes: sometimes the mountains of the ancient world, sometimes a blood-red wasteland, and sometimes a deep void.

The raging spatial turbulence was like an invisible blade, frantically cutting everything in its path.

This is a chaotic corner between the Heavenly Tomb space and the outside world!
Xiao Bai stood in mid-air, and the raging spatial power within three zhang around him quietly subsided.

His face was somewhat pale, and his breathing was slightly rapid.

Just now, when the Soul Emperor's soul power forcibly invaded his body, and he was about to look at his face, there seemed to be a strange movement in his sea of ​​consciousness. He calmed his mind and discovered a scene that made him ecstatic.

The talisman has been broken; something's happening!
It finally stopped being a lazy bum as usual, and the talisman began to swirl with the purple divine lightning he had seen when he obtained the cultivation technique.

Thunder tore through the Soul Emperor's soul imprisonment, and he led everyone into the rift.

"Soul Emperor"

Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with a cold light for a moment. He took a deep breath, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and his expression returned to calm.

If you're weaker than others, all your threats are just empty words of rage. If it weren't for the talisman turning the tables this time, he would probably have been completely seen through by the Soul Emperor.

Putting aside his memories, he began to survey his surroundings, trying to sense his location. However, he found that the spatial rules here were extremely chaotic. His soul perception was distorted and torn apart as soon as it left his body, making it impossible to discern directions, let alone find a path to the normal space of the Heavenly Tomb.

"The spirit of the Heavenly Tomb?"

The moment he was prevented from entering the Heavenly Tomb, the moment that force repelled him here, he knew it was the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb who was behind it.

Just as he was pondering a way to escape, the spatial turbulence in front of him suddenly surged violently, like boiling water!
Om-!
A vast, ancient soul force, filled with savagery and greed, descended upon this corner of space without warning!
That terrifying soul power rapidly condensed, eventually transforming into a gigantic face that blotted out the sky!

This face was not made of flesh and blood, but rather woven from pure soul power and some kind of dark, negative energy. Its outline was blurred and distorted, with only a pair of huge eyes clearly visible—eyes without pupils, only endless darkness and a desire to devour everything, like two bottomless black holes.

The giant soul face looked down at Xiao Bai, who was like an ant below, and a suffocating pressure spread out.

"Human, if you give up entering the Heavenly Tomb, I may let you leave!" A hoarse, low voice, as if the wails of countless souls were mixed together, reverberated from the direction of the giant face, and the tone seemed to contain a deeply hidden fear.

Xiao Bai's mind tensed instantly. The giant soul face gave him an extremely strong sense of oppression. He knew what it was and that its strength was beyond his current capabilities.

The giant face seemed puzzled by Xiao Bai's tense demeanor, but the thought only flashed through its mind. Compared to Xiao Bai's fear of it, it feared Xiao Bai even more.

Just now, the purple lightning erupted, not only tearing apart the soul confinement in the outside world, but also emanating an extremely pure and supreme aura of destruction that penetrated space, causing it to feel a tremor from its very soul in an instant!

That was an absolute suppression based on rank!
A terrifying divine might that could completely annihilate such a soul entity, leaving it forever beyond redemption!
Although the feeling was fleeting, the sense of fear, as if branded deep within the soul, was incredibly real.

"Humanity."

It had just opened its mouth when its voice abruptly stopped.

The space where the humans were located suddenly flashed, and Xiao Bai's figure disappeared in front of it in an instant.

A flash of anger suddenly appeared in those dark, enormous eyes.

"Xiao Xuan!!"

The giant face began to fluctuate violently, revealing its inner turmoil.

An uncontrollable shadow of gloom and deep apprehension welled up in his eyes.

"Xiao Xuan, we've always kept to ourselves. Are you going to break our agreement today?"

The giant face rose and fell like waves, and its icy voice, like thunderclaps, echoed continuously in the interlayer of space.

"Heh. You dare to stop my men and you still say we should keep to ourselves?"

No one appeared, but a warm, magnetic voice suddenly chuckled and rang out in the void.

"Your people?!"

The giant face trembled slightly, emanating countless spiritual lights, and its voice revealed astonishment and chill.

The first level of the Heavenly Tomb stretches to the horizon on a barren, reddish land, filled with an ancient and deathly atmosphere.

Gu Qingyang, Xiao Yan and their group were proceeding cautiously, their soul power constantly scanning their surroundings, wary of any energy entities that might suddenly appear.

The atmosphere is a bit depressing.

Xiao Bai's disappearance weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, especially Xun'er, whose delicate brows furrowed and whose bright eyes betrayed her worry.

at this time--

Without warning, the space in front of them began to ripple, like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, with ripples spreading rapidly and forming a temporary spatial vortex.

"careful!"

Gu Qingyang gave a low shout, and everyone instantly went on alert, their fighting spirits surging as they nervously stared at the center of the abnormal fluctuations.

The next moment, a figure in black robes was abruptly "spit out" from the center of the vortex. The figure performed a light flip in the air and landed steadily on the ground, raising a little dust.

"Brother Xiao Bai!"

Xun'er was stunned at first, then a huge surge of joy welled up in her heart. No longer caring about her composure, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly as if afraid he would disappear again.

"Are you alright? You scared me to death!"

The girl's voice choked with lingering fear; her previous strength crumbled the moment she saw him safe and sound.

Gu Qingyang, Xiao Yan, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with smiles of relief, and quickly gathered around.

"Brother Xiao Bai, you've finally shown up!"

"What just happened? We thought you were swept away by the spatial turbulence."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"

Xiao Bai felt a warmth in his heart as he gently patted Xun'er's back, comforting her.
"It's nothing, just a minor accident."

He spoke casually, but everyone knew that this was no simple "accident."

They had witnessed the dangers firsthand.

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to talk about it, the others wisely stopped asking, as it was a blessing that he returned safely.

"Brother Bai, what you just did..."

Xiao Yan, being observant, noticed that Xiao Bai's appearance was not like his own use of spatial power, but rather as if he had been forcibly "thrown" from somewhere.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai looked up at the gloomy sky above the Heavenly Tomb, his gaze becoming somewhat profound and complex.

Just now, in that spatial rift, facing the oppressive aura of that terrifying, gigantic soul face, his entire body tensed as he pondered how to respond, even preparing to say something to the talisman:
"Baby please turn around!"

However, the moment he made a move, a spatial force that he could not resist suddenly descended!
The power was gentle yet undeniable, like an invisible hand gently grasping the space around him.

Before he could even react, the scene before him blurred and distorted instantly.

The next moment, the space shifted, and he saw Xun'er and the others' surprised faces.

All of this happened too fast, too unbelievably.

He was able to easily teleport him out of that chaotic spatial rift, ignoring the existence of the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb, and deliver him to Xun'er and the others.
The answer to this question was obvious to him: who possessed such authority and power within this Heavenly Tomb?

Having figured out the key point, Xiao Bai felt not much joy, but rather a surge of extremely complex emotions.

Today has been quite eventful.

First, the Soul Emperor made a move, forcibly probing with his soul power; then he was intercepted by the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb and trapped in a spatial rift.
Before he could catch his breath, he was grabbed from afar by another person and tossed into the Heavenly Tomb like a sandbag.
This series of events was completely beyond his control.

He was like a small boat in a raging storm, his fate completely out of his own hands, drifting with the waves stirred up by the powerful figures on the continent.

This feeling of being powerless and unable to resist made him extremely unhappy and speechless.

Strength! Or is it that the strength is insufficient?
If they possessed strength sufficient to match or even surpass them, why would they have come to this?
How dare the Soul Emperor investigate at will?
How dare the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb obstruct us?

Even if Xiao Xuan wanted to see him, he would probably do it in a different way, rather than by moving him so "casually".

Xiao Bai took a deep breath of the slightly cold air in the Heavenly Tomb, forcibly suppressing the speechless and stifled feeling churning in his heart.

These emotions transformed into a deeper and more urgent motivation—

A thirst for immense power!

He turned his gaze away from the sky and looked at the people around him who were still watching him with concern, especially Xun'er, whose eyes were still wet with tears. His face once again showed that reassuring smile.

But beneath that smile lay a subtle sharpness and determination.

"Alright, what a scare. Now that we've successfully entered this Heavenly Tomb, let's not waste any more time."
