Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 420 Nine Revolutions of Dou Zun, the Peak Realm!
"Nine Profound Golden Thunder?!"

Xiao Xuan was surprised for a moment, glanced at Xiao Bai's sleeve, and said thoughtfully:
"Nine Profound Golden Thunder is a ninth-grade Golden Core tribulation. I have only seen it once in my life. Its nature is extremely strong and yang, and it is indeed very effective against souls like the Heavenly Tomb Soul."

"If lightning were ranked like other flames, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning would be comparable to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, or even the Void Devouring Flame."

He paused, glanced at Xiao Bai's dantian, and a strange look flashed in his eyes:
"You have quite a few good things inside you, rare treasures that even ordinary Dou Sheng would find hard to come by, you have a whole bunch of them."

This little guy's body not only contained the mysterious lightning that had been intertwined before, but also the aura of ethereal flames.

He had heard Xiao Yan mention the origin of the Void Flame before, so he wasn't too surprised.

He just didn't expect that the little dragon was actually Nine Profound Golden Thunder. He had only felt that the aura was somewhat familiar, but seeing that it was too weak, he didn't think about it in any particular direction.

Xiao Xuan pointed to Xiao Bai's little golden dragon peeking out from his sleeve, curiously gazing at it.

"If you mean that, it's too weak now. If it were the fully formed Nine Profound Golden Thunder, it would be quite something."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai slightly shook his sleeve, and the little golden dragon suddenly darted out, circled around him once, and landed on his shoulder.

"Senior, you may not know this, but Little Gold also has a true form, which is a giant thunder dragon at the level of a seven-star Dou Sheng. However, it was too difficult for it to take human form, so it used some unknown means to separate Little Gold."

He told everyone about the origins of the little golden dragon and his own thoughts, which immediately drew everyone's attention.

Unexpectedly, this little dragon had such a background. Xun'er, in particular, stared at Xiao Jin with her beautiful eyes, suddenly realizing why Brother Xiao Bai had said it was just recovering.

"What is your opinion, senior?"

Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Xuan with some anticipation in his heart. He had only intended to quickly advance to the ninth level of Dou Zun and meet Xiao Xuan by the way, and he had not thought of asking Xiao Xuan for help.

"Void Thunder Pool, Black Demon Thunder, Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon—the creation of heaven and earth is truly wondrous!"

After listening, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but sigh. Looking at Xiao Bai's expectant gaze, a smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded, saying:
"A void lightning pool containing black demon lightning and nine-fold golden lightning should be enough to give that guy a hard time. Your method is good. If it is handled properly, it should give me another 20% more control over the Heavenly Tomb. When I have half control over the Heavenly Tomb, I won't have to spend too much effort dealing with the soul of the Heavenly Tomb. It will only take a little time!"

"but."

He glanced at the little golden dragon, then shaped his hand into a claw and reached into the lotus pond beside him. A crystal core several times larger than a human head fell into his hand.

This crystal core was incredibly bright, and the energy fluctuations it emitted were even more powerful than the two one-star Dou Sheng energy cores that Xiao Bai had obtained before.

He tossed the energy core in his hand and casually tossed it to the little golden dragon.

The little golden dragon instinctively hugged the energy core with its two claws, looked at Xiao Xuan with a bewildered expression, and then turned its head to look at its master.

"Senior, this..."

Xiao Bai was also somewhat surprised. Judging from Xiao Xuan's actions, it seemed that he was going to give this extremely precious energy core to the little golden dragon.

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, looking at the master and servant, and said...

“This little guy is very intelligent, but its cultivation level is too low right now. You said its original body is equivalent to a seven-star Dou Sheng. If the two consciousnesses fight, it will be at a great disadvantage if it doesn’t have the cultivation level of a Dou Sheng. This energy core is from a six-star Dou Sheng energy body of the Soul Clan when the third layer was cleansed last time.”

He paused, glanced at the energy core, and shook his head:
"At the time, I didn't know when the Xiao Clan would arrive, so I used it to nourish my bloodline. Unfortunately, you arrived too late. Now, the energy core's aura is only around that of a two-star Dou Sheng."

"However, it should be fine to use it to help this little dragon advance to the Dou Sheng realm."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was overjoyed. He cupped his hands in a respectful bow.
"Thank you, senior!"

He didn't know the current situation of the thunder dragon in the Void Thunder Pool, but Xiao Jin was going to confront him. Regardless of whether there would be any conflict, having a higher cultivation level was never a bad thing.

This energy core might not mean much to Xiao Xuan, but it would be of great use to the little golden dragon.

He had originally planned to give it both of his one-star Dou Sheng energy cores, hoping it could use them to leapfrog to the Saint rank, but now he didn't need to.

"No need for formalities, we're all family. I haven't said a word of thanks for your help to the Xiao family."

Xiao Xuan smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Moreover, this is a good thing for me as well."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded to himself. Xiao Xuan was indeed very charismatic, and his words seemed to show that he did not treat him as an outsider at all.

With a thought, he raised his arm, and a tiny bolt of lightning crackled from his fingertips.

"Senior, this is the method of resurrection that I have summarized. Take a look at it and see if there is anything that needs to be improved."

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

Since Xiao Xuan was so generous, he wasn't stingy either, and directly gave away the method of resurrection.

"Ok?"

Xiao Xuan was taken aback, then carefully reached out and caught the bolt of lightning. Instantly, countless lights flashed in his eyes. Only after the lightning at his fingertip dissipated did he let out a soft sigh:
"Based on the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana talent, supplemented by Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, borrowing the vitality of thunder to reverse death and stagnation, and reshaping the soul and body with the balance of Yin and Yang, no wonder..."

Then, his gaze towards Xiao Bai was filled with astonishment and shock:
"The ancient celestial phoenixes have long since vanished with the passage of time, and their innate talents and secret techniques have been buried along with them. I never imagined you would have such an opportunity!"

"This method is indeed of utmost importance to me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan tensed up, held his breath, and cautiously asked:
"Ancestor, are you confident?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, it's already quite good that we have a method now."

Xiao Xuan laughed nonchalantly, completely unconcerned about the near-death experience of rebirth. Such a heaven-defying resurrection method was never smooth sailing.

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Bai and Xun'er and smiled:

"Time is short. You should go to the side hall to cultivate first. It is a node of the main hall's formation, and the energy there is quite concentrated. After this little dragon advances, it can summon the Void Thunder Pool. I will take action then."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior!" Xiao Bai nodded and led Xun'er toward the stone gate to the side.

"And me?"

Watching the two figures leave, Xiao Yan stared blankly for a moment.

A smile flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes, and he suddenly waved his sleeve.

"Splash!" A splash of water immediately rose from the lotus pond.

"You stay in the pool and absorb the power of your bloodline!"

Xiao Xuan stood by the pool with his hands behind his back, watching Xiao Yan splashing around in the water, a smile playing on his lips.

"Ancestor, you're not going to be resurrected?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, I kept the portion for when I was resurrected; the rest are yours!"

As Xiao Xuan spoke, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. The chances of that resurrection method were slim. He could try, but he also had to leave a glimmer of hope for the Xiao family.

Time flies, and the years pass unnoticed within the Heavenly Tomb.

Inside the ancient palace, Xiao Bai sat cross-legged, his aura as deep and boundless as the sea, and the surging energy fluctuations pulsed rhythmically like a heartbeat.

Before him, a crystal core that once contained terrifying energy was now dull and its surface was covered with cracks.

The immense energy, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, continuously surged into his limbs and bones, cleansing his meridians and filling his dantian.

Under the continuous impact of this vast power, a faint cracking sound came from his body, and then it burst open with a bang!

"Om-!"

A powerful aura, several times stronger than before, suddenly erupted from Xiao Bai's body. An invisible wave of energy swept through the entire side hall, causing the dust on the ground to tremble and the space to ripple.

His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and deep within them, a flash of golden and black lightning intertwined and disappeared, finally settling into stillness, leaving only an ever-deepening vastness. The ninth level of Dou Zun, the pinnacle!
Feeling the unprecedented, almost overflowing, boundless battle qi surging within his body, Xiao Bai slowly clenched his fist, causing space to slightly distort between his fingers.

A powerful sense of strength welled up within me, and it seemed that I was only one step away from that transcendent state.

Nearby, Xun'er, who sat quietly like a guardian fairy, sensed the transformation of this aura at almost the same time.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes opened, immediately landing on Xiao Bai.

Sensing his powerful aura, Xun'er's eyes instantly blazed with undisguised joy, a genuine happiness that even surpassed her own breakthrough in cultivation.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao Bai."

Her voice was soft and sweet, and her pretty face was beaming with an irrepressible smile.

"Peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun realm, the Saint Realm is within reach!"

Xiao Bai dissipated his aura, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at the beautiful woman beside him.

Her aura became increasingly refined, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame flowing around her was more freely controlled. Her aura had already reached the level of a Nine-Star Dou Zun.

He reached out and naturally took Xun'er's slender hand in his, its touch cool and soft:
"This final step cannot be achieved simply by accumulating energy; it requires a deeper understanding of the rules of heaven and earth and a mysterious opportunity. What follows will require some painstaking effort and good fortune."

Xun'er smiled faintly, intertwined her fingers with his, and whispered:

"The Sacred Realm is about the fusion of the soul's perception and the energy of heaven and earth; it can't be rushed. Brother Xiao Bai has such a profound foundation; breaking through is only a matter of time. Xun'er believes you will advance soon."

Her tone was light, yet it was full of absolute confidence in him.

Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, a soft light flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes. Xun'er's face flushed slightly, but her eyes did not dodge.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the side hall was warm and enchanting.

Just as Xiao Bai was about to do something—

"Roar!!"

A dragon's roar, not deafening but containing supreme majesty and immense power, suddenly erupted from the other side of the side hall, instantly shattering the tranquility!
A blinding golden lightning burst forth, and countless golden lightning bolts rapidly spread across a huge cocoon of light, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations that made one's heart tremble!
"Boom!"

The immense dragon's might, like a tangible tsunami, swept through the entire side hall without restraint, and the aura within that oppressive force underwent a radical transformation!
Xiao Bai and Xun'er both turned serious, their eyes fixed on the golden ball of light, filled with anticipation and tension.

They knew this was the most crucial moment!
"Click...click..."

A faint cracking sound rang out, and the first crack appeared on the surface of the lightning cocoon. Then, like a chain reaction, it quickly spread throughout the entire body!
The next moment, the lightning cocoon exploded!

Ten thousand golden lightning bolts scattered and surged, illuminating the entire side hall in a magnificent display!
At the center of the lightning, a small golden dragon, whose size had not increased much, but whose scales were more dazzling, as if forged from pure gold, whose horns were more rugged, and whose eyes flashed with lightning, stood proudly!

Its aura is completely different from what it was six months ago!
That oppressive aura had completely transcended the realm of Dou Zun, entering a completely new domain—

Fighting Saint!

Although it was only the initial stage, it was indeed the power of a Saint-level expert!

Moreover, since its true form is Nine Profound Golden Thunder, this Saint-level pressure appears exceptionally pure and domineering, possessing an innate suppressive power over soul entities.

The little golden dragon raised its head and let out a joyful roar, the sound filled with happiness and power.

It swung its tail and appeared in front of Xiao Bai in an instant.

"My lord, I have succeeded!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xiao Bai stroked Xiao Jin's increasingly hardened dragon scales, his heart filled with excitement.

Just as he was rejoicing over Xiao Jin's breakthrough, and Xun'er beside him was also smiling, a clear and cheerful voice quietly rang out in the side hall:

"Not bad, everyone has made progress in the past six months. It seems that no one has been idle."

Before anyone knew it, Xiao Xuan, dressed in a green robe, had quietly appeared in the hall. His gaze swept over Xiao Bai and Xun'er, finally landing on the imposing little golden dragon, a satisfied smile on his face.

"senior."

"Senior Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Bai and Xun'er quickly bowed.

Xiao Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Xiao Bai and Xiao Jin for a moment:

"Ninth-stage peak, solid foundation, refined battle qi, not bad. This little dragon is indeed worthy of being called Nine Profound Golden Thunder. After stepping into the Saint Rank, its thunderous power has begun to truly manifest, and its potential is limitless."

His tone was appreciative, then he looked at Xiao Bai, his smile fading slightly, and his tone became more formal:
"The year is almost up, are you ready?"

Xiao Bai took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening and resolute, and nodded emphatically:

"anytime!"

"Alright!" A glint flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes. Without saying another word, he waved his sleeve.

Instantly, an invisible spatial force enveloped Xiao Bai, Xun'er, and the little golden dragon.

The surrounding scenery blurred and changed instantly. The next moment, they had left the ancient palace and appeared under the gray sky of the Heavenly Tomb, with a desolate and barren land beneath their feet.

Xiao Xuan stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering, his gaze sweeping across the silent world, and said in a deep voice:
"This is the place. Xiao Bai, release the seal you placed on the little golden dragon. I will use the authority of the Heavenly Tomb to reveal its aura!"

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Bai quickly formed a profound hand seal with a thought.

Within the little golden dragon's soul, a mysterious aura suddenly spread out, and then, under Xiao Bai's control, it quickly faded away like melting ice and snow.

Just as the aura of the thunder talisman completely dissipated—

"Buzz!"

A surge of energy erupted from the little golden dragon's body and soared into the sky!

Meanwhile, countless miles away, deep within the void.

This is a vast ocean of thunder, boundless and immeasurable. The pitch-black black lightning surges and roars like waves, its destructive aura permeating every inch of space.

In the very center of the Thunder Pool, a colossal dragon coils and lies hidden.

Its entire body was composed of pure golden lightning, with gleaming scales and armor. Its enormous size stretched as far as the eye could see, as if it were the master of this lightning pool.

Just as the little golden dragon fully released its aura—

The enormous dragon eye, which seemed to have existed since time immemorial and had been closed for countless years, suddenly trembled!
Those eyelids, as huge as mountains, slowly and laboriously opened a crack!
"Hey!"

Two tangible golden lightning beams shot out instantly from the open slits of the dragon's eyes, tearing apart the endless waves of black demonic lightning in front of them. Wherever they passed, all the lightning submitted!

After a moment of silence and confusion, a faint hint of doubt appeared in those enormous golden pupils. It seemed to have sensed something, a call that originated from the same source, yet was extremely weak.

Then, deep within that doubt, a faint yet real, inexplicable expectation slowly began to stir.

Its enormous body seemed to move very slightly, and the vast void lightning pool rippled slightly in response.

Space shattered, and the entire Thunder Pool slowly fell into the fragmented void.
