Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 413 No one is allowed to die before their energy is completely drained!
Deep within the misty depths, the ancient tomb, silent for millennia, trembled violently, followed by a dazzling pillar of soul light shooting into the sky, illuminating the entire third level of space.

From within the pillar of light, a figure slowly stepped out.

He was dressed in a light blue robe. He was not particularly handsome, but he gave off a strange and peculiar feeling, as if the energy of heaven and earth fluctuated with his breath.

His figure may appear slender, but it is like the backbone of the entire world, unshakable!

"Xiao Xuan?!"

In an instant, all the energy beings living on the third level of the Heavenly Tomb were filled with horror.

"That jinx... why is he out again?"

Some of the figures felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly suppressed their auras, their bodies instantly becoming ethereal as they shrank towards the ground.

"Wasn't he suppressed by the Heavenly Tomb and only allowed to leave the tomb once every ten years? Now that the ten-year period hasn't ended yet, could it be that this clearing operation has been brought forward?"

Some energy beings that were nearby were unable to dodge in time and were forced to the ground by the suffocating pressure, their teeth chattering and their faces filled with despair.

This evil star seems to have become even more powerful. Now, its pressure is almost solidified, and it is even more vast and majestic than before!
"Xiao Xuan, how dare you lay your hands on the Heavenly Tomb!!!"

Dark clouds churned in the sky, and the terrified screams of the souls of the Heavenly Tomb echoed, shaking the entire Heavenly Tomb space.

"Humanity, it must be you."

On the second floor, Xiao Bai stared at the terrified, roaring giant face without the slightest fear. His dark eyes met its gaze, and he said calmly:

"Since your birth was a mistake, then it should be corrected!"

Upon hearing this, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb looked at Xiao Bai, its eyes dark and almost dripping with water. However, deep within its eyes, a strong sense of fear rose up, and it was now truly beginning to doubt the identity of this human.

But in an instant, its eyes suddenly sharpened, and it said in a cold, frenzied voice:
"No! This is impossible! I am the Heavenly Tomb, and the Heavenly Tomb is me!"

"So what if you are him? I am now the master of the Heavenly Tomb!"

As it spoke, the giant face surged, and in an instant, it condensed into a massive hand that blotted out the sky, slamming down fiercely towards Xiao Bai.

Gu Qingyang and the others' expressions changed drastically again. That familiar feeling returned, as if the surrounding space had frozen them into an insect trapped in amber, unable to move at all.

Xiao Bai's eye twitched. What was Xiao Xuan doing? Wasn't the plan to lure this guy away?
As the enormous hand rushed towards him, the wind whipped his robes, and the familiar stinging sensation between his brows returned. Without a second thought, he repeated his previous actions.

"what?"

Xiao Bai sensed something was wrong. This time, breaking free from the Heavenly Tomb's suppression seemed incredibly easy. Last time, he had used up 30% of his soul power, but this time he hadn't used even 10%.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly understood why.

really--

"Xiao Xuan!!"

The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb let out a deafening roar, its eyes flashing with intense anger and killing intent, as well as a hint of hidden panic.

It sensed that Xiao Xuan's aura had changed, and it also felt that its control over the Heavenly Tomb was being forcibly eroded and stripped away by an even more domineering force!
At this moment, it no longer cared about dealing with the human in front of it. Even if he was the former master of the Heavenly Tomb, he could not shake its control over the Heavenly Tomb at all.

But Xiao Xuan, he can do it!
If the Heavenly Tomb were to fall under Xiao Xuan's control, it would truly have no advantage whatsoever, becoming nothing more than a piece of meat on a chopping board, at his mercy.

Faced with the choice, it did not hesitate at all. Its giant face rapidly shrank and disappeared into the second layer of sky in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingyang, Xiao Yan, and the others staggered almost simultaneously, their faces pale, gasping for breath, their clothes nearly soaked with cold sweat, as if they had just been pulled back from the brink of drowning.

Twice teetering on the brink of life and death, the eerie giant face brought with it an oppressive force that nearly crushed their souls, making them deeply aware of the gap in absolute power.

However, before the joy of surviving the ordeal could fully spread, countless complex gazes involuntarily focused on the calm figure standing ahead.

Doubt, shock, disbelief, and a touch of unfamiliarity and awe.

The impact they received today was truly enormous.

Since the ancient clans took control of the Heavenly Tomb, they have never recorded such a bizarre existence as the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb. Moreover, Xiao Bai's earth-shattering words just now completely overturned their understanding.

A Battle Emperor? A reincarnation?
This word was so heavy that just thinking about it made their souls tremble.

But, is this possible?
Dou Di, that's a legendary realm, extinct on the continent for ten thousand years!
The idea of ​​reincarnation is unheard of!

Xiao Yan stood to the side, his eyes also surging with intense emotions.

He knew Xiao Bai better than Gu Qingyang and others, and knew how he rose through the ranks of the Xiao family in Wutan City.

The more I learned about him, and the more I recalled Xiao Bai's many prophetic abilities, the more I felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity and shock.

“!!” Xiao Bai.

Although he had his back to the crowd, his powerful soul force allowed him to see all the different expressions on their faces. The surprise and curiosity in their eyes almost materialized.

What are these people imagining?
Tired of heart!

Those words were merely meant to frighten the soul of the Heavenly Tomb, making it even more fearful.

They were too lazy to explain. Some things were easy for someone of Xiao Xuan's level to understand, but for them, sometimes the more they were explained, the more confused they became.

His gaze fell upon the now-calmed soul storm, the energy barrier of the third layer still clearly visible. He was about to take a step and head towards it.

Suddenly, a cool yet soft hand gently grasped his hand.

Xiao Bai paused and turned to look.

Xun'er bit her red lips tightly, her beautiful face still showing traces of the pallor she had felt while resisting the pressure, but her clear, glass-like eyes were now filled with some indescribable emotions.

Worry, unease, hesitation, and a hint of...fear.

afraid of losing.

She tilted her head back, her gaze fixed intently on Xiao Bai's eyes, as if trying to see through them to the deepest secrets of his soul.

Her voice was very soft, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, yet it sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet atmosphere:

"Brother Xiao Bai... Will you always be my Brother Xiao Bai?"

This question is illogical and even somewhat naive.

But Gu Qingyang and the others subconsciously held their breath; they understood what Xun'er meant—

Will Xiao Bai, who is now in the present moment, be replaced by an ancient and terrifying will in the future?

Xiao Bai was speechless and helpless, but when he saw Xun'er's eyes gradually reddening, and the worry and vulnerability that were about to overflow, like a little animal afraid of being abandoned, his heart suddenly trembled slightly.

He could clearly feel the coolness and slight trembling of her fingertips. This unreserved care and dependence left him with no room for jokes.

He gripped her slightly cool hand tightly, completely enveloping her soft fingers in his palm, conveying a reassuring warmth.

"Silly girl!" His voice was deep and gentle, carrying an undeniable certainty.
"What nonsense are you thinking? Xiao Bai is of course Xiao Bai, and he will always be the Xiao Bai from Wutan City who tells you stories. He was before, he is now, and he will always be!"

His gaze was sincere and firm, without the slightest wavering.

Xun'er stared at him blankly. From the warmth emanating from his palm and those familiar eyes, she found that warmth that had never changed.

Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and a charming blush quietly rose to her cheeks. She softly hummed in agreement, lowered her head, but couldn't help but smile slightly. All the unease and gloom in her heart were swept away at this moment.

As long as he is still her Xiao Bai brother, nothing else matters.

Xiao Bai smiled and gently squeezed her hand.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the third floor!"

After saying that, he led Xun'er straight to the entrance of the third floor.

Seeing that Xiao Bai had no intention of explaining to them, Gu Qingyang and the others exchanged glances, speechless.

Xiao Yan smiled nonchalantly, shrugged, and followed.

As long as Brother Bai is still the same Brother Bai, wouldn't it be better if he had other identities?

After all, they were from the same hometown, even though this guy would never admit it.

Facing the gazes of the ancient clan members, Gu Qingyang shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"Let's go. Some things are beyond our control, besides..."

As he spoke, he looked at the figure walking further and further away and said softly:

"He just saved us twice!"

After saying that, he took the lead and followed. The others had no more hesitation and all turned into streaks of light, rushing towards the entrance.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone stood in front of the entrance again.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Bai raised his arm, and two distinctly different types of lightning, golden and black, surged forth again in his palm, intertwining and entwining to form a constantly rotating, mysterious Tai Chi diagram.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Bai slowly extended his arm.

The Tai Chi diagram, interwoven with gold and black lightning, was lightly imprinted on the incredibly sturdy energy wall.

The expected violent collision did not occur.

laugh--

A faint, corrosive sound arose.

What happened next made Gu Qingyang, Xiao Yan and the others widen their eyes in shock.

The previously indestructible energy barrier began to slowly cave in at a visible speed the moment it came into contact with the Tai Chi diagram!

As the energy barrier caved in, the interior of the originally transparent and crystalline barrier was clearly exposed to everyone's eyes.

"Then...what is that?!"

Gu Xing cried out, his voice filled with a hint of horror.

Everyone gasped!
Inside the incredibly thick energy wall, the structure was not the pure energy it had imagined, but rather a dense mass of countless milky-white monsters!

These strange insects are not large, but their numbers are terrifying.

They squeezed and wriggled against each other, spreading throughout every inch of the energy wall, constantly opening their mouthparts to frantically devour the pure energy that made up the energy wall. At the same time, their rear ends secreted new, more condensed and viscous energy threads to reinforce the barrier.

They seem to feed on this vast energy and use themselves as part of building this indestructible barrier!

"Ancient Devouring Insect. It's an ancient devouring insect!"

Gu Qingyang, being the most knowledgeable, instantly recognized this bizarre creature, which was only recorded in ancient texts. His voice was filled with shock and realization.

"So that's how it is! So this energy barrier is so sturdy not because it was naturally formed, but because of the existence of these monstrous things! They constantly devour and secrete to strengthen it, making this barrier almost a living, self-reinforcing, and terrifying defense!"

At the same time, he also understood why the ancestors of the ancient clans could not break through this barrier even if they used all their means.

"Heh. You want to compete with me in devouring?!"

As the Tai Chi diagram drew closer, Xiao Bai sensed the ancient devouring insects wriggling wildly, and they began to devour his battle qi in unison. He couldn't help but sneer.

In an instant, the golden and black lightning on the Tai Chi diagram shone brightly, and a destructive aura, along with a domineering devouring wave, spread out.

A muffled rumble of thunder echoed through the passage opened up by the Tai Chi diagram.

The golden-black lightning turned the ancient devouring insects hidden in the crystal wall into dust. Even so, countless ancient devouring insects still flocked to it like moths to a flame, secreting a large amount of energy to continuously repair the crystal wall.

"Ok?"

Just then, Xiao Bai's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He sensed that the Tai Chi diagram was beginning to emit a continuous stream of extremely powerful and pure energy.

The fighting spirit that originally supported the Taiji Diagram in opening the passage and disappeared like a flood is now not only not consumed, but can even help him cultivate!
Xiao Bai's soul swept over the crystal wall that cascaded down like a waterfall, and his heart instantly filled with joy.

With the energy accumulated by these ancient insects over thousands of years, once he absorbs this crystal wall, his cultivation level might experience a leap forward.

He's not in a hurry to go to the third floor anymore; this place is simply a perfect cultivation ground for his current level of cultivation.

The energy required for the Nine Revolutions of Dou Zun is too immense. Where can he find such a good place in the outside world?
"Xiao Bai, if we can't hold on, we can hold on for a while. You should rest for a bit."

Seeing that Xiao Bai's speed suddenly slowed down, Gu Qingyang was a little embarrassed to speak. After all, they had not played any role along the way and had instead become a burden.

The others nodded in agreement, and Xun'er unleashed her Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame without hesitation, ready to take over.

"Need not!"

Xiao Bai hurriedly waved his hand to stop them. He even carefully controlled the power of the lightning, afraid of harming the ancient devouring insects. At this moment, those little guys that swarmed over were all treasures in his eyes.

No one is allowed to die before all their energy is exhausted!
Not to mention agreeing to Gu Qingyang's request and letting them bombard us—wouldn't that be the act of a reckless fool and a complete waste!
Thus, Xiao Bai, who had initially opened up a passage more than a meter long in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, was now moving at a snail's pace. If it weren't for the fact that everyone present had considerable spiritual power, those following behind him would have the illusion of standing still.

They all cast admiring glances at the black-robed figure struggling to clear the passage ahead, their impression of Xiao Bai rising even higher.

What a good man!
At a certain moment, Xiao Bai's body trembled, and a powerful aura swept out.

"A first-stage Dou Zun?!"

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What's wrong with this guy?

Wasn't opening up a passage difficult and costly?

And didn't you just break through to the peak of the nine stars?
If a peak-level nine-star Dou Zun wants to advance to the first stage, he needs to accumulate all the energy required to go from a one-star Dou Zun to the peak of nine-star Dou Zun. This guy has already accumulated all the energy in such a short time, even while constantly consuming it.
Is this world still playable?

Everyone felt as if the world had suddenly become filled with malice towards them.
