Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 455 The Terrified Heavenly Venerable
A month passed quietly on this perilous land of the desolate ancient domain.

As time went by, news that the ancient Bodhi tree might have appeared in this place spread like wildfire throughout the Central Plains and surrounding areas through various clandestine channels.

More and more powerful individuals were drawn in, like bees drawn to honey, pouring into this ancient domain from all directions.

The desolate ancient domain thus became increasingly lively, but also increasingly dangerous.

Conflicts between powerful humans and ferocious beasts within the domain occur frequently, with bloody battles constantly unfolding deep in the forests and in the mountain valleys.

However, the desolate wasteland where Xiao Bai disappeared that day is located in the deepest part of the ancient domain, with a harsh environment and ferocious beasts. In addition, the intimidating aura emanating from the two evil gods, the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Second Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace, has not yet been set foot in by outsiders.

Apart from the two black-robed figures sitting cross-legged like stone sculptures, with only barely perceptible breathing, the surroundings remained deathly quiet, a stark contrast to the distant roars of beasts and the sounds of energy explosions.

On this day, the deathly silence that had lasted for more than a month was suddenly broken!

"Om-"

A slight yet exceptionally clear spatial tremor, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up ripples!

The Great Celestial Venerable and the Second Celestial Venerable, who had been in deep meditation, suddenly opened their eyes at almost the same time, their eyes flashing with intense light!

"There's movement!"

The Great Celestial Venerable rose to his feet, his black robes billowing even without wind, his icy gaze like that of a hawk, fixed on the previously empty void before him.

The space there, like ripples on water, began to ripple violently with clear concentric circles!
"Brother, could it be that the Bodhi Tree is about to emerge? Or... that brat Xiao Bai?!"

The Second Heavenly Venerable, Gu You, instantly stood up, his gaunt face revealing an uncontrollable joy mixed with anticipation and killing intent.

After waiting patiently for over a month, things finally changed!
The Great Celestial Venerable's expression was solemn. He slowly shook his head, about to speak to Gu You to calm down and observe the situation.

However, the next moment, his gaze suddenly sharpened!
In the center of the rippling space ahead, amidst flashes of light, several figures were somewhat disheveled as they were "squeezed" out by the distorted space and staggered onto the barren ground.

"This is……?!"

The Second Heavenly Venerable Gu You's face froze, then turned into deep astonishment and disbelief.

He stared intently at the group of people who had suddenly appeared—

Leading the group were two women. One was dressed in a palace dress, exuding an elegant and noble air, with stunning beauty. The other wore a light purple dress, with a slender figure and an ethereal, fairy-like beauty.

Behind them followed a beautiful little girl, about five or six years old, with big, curious eyes.

What's even more striking is that beside them, there floats a huge cocoon of light, about the height of a person, whose surface constantly shimmers with a faint purple-gold light.

This bizarre combination is completely unrelated to the Bodhi Tree or Xiao Bai that I had imagined!
After a brief moment of astonishment, the look of surprise on Gu You's face was quickly replaced by an almost twisted ecstasy!

"Hahahaha... Who do we have here? It's Xiao Bai's two women, and this little one, who must be his child, right? Hehehehe... It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

He let out a piercing laugh like an owl, his withered body trembling slightly with excitement. His cold gaze swept over Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun like a venomous snake, finally settling on Xiao Qing, whose little hand was being held by Yun Yun. His laughter was filled with vengeful pleasure and cruelty.

This sudden turn of events also caught Little Fairy Doctor, Yun Yun, and Xiao Qing off guard.

They had spent a full year in the Heavenly Tomb, and originally thought they would see Xiao Bai when they came out this time, but they were unexpectedly thrown into this completely unfamiliar place by the Heavenly Tomb.

As soon as they landed, they heard Gu You's malicious laughter and saw two black-robed figures in front of them, exuding a cold and powerful aura!
"Aunt Yun, Aunt Xian, it's those two bad guys!"

Although Xiao Qing was young, he still vividly remembered the two Soul Hall members who had caused trouble at the Zixiao Palace opening ceremony that day and whose auras were unpleasant. He immediately whispered a reminder.

The moment Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun saw the Great Celestial Venerable and Bone Nether clearly, their pupils contracted sharply, and their hearts sank.

How did they end up here?

Where is Xiao Bai now?

Countless questions flooded their minds instantly, but the current situation was so critical that they had no time to think about them.

Sensing Gu You's undisguised malice and the oppressive aura emanating from the even more profound and terrifying Great Celestial Venerable beside her, the two women exchanged a tacit glance and instantly took action.

Without hesitation, Little Fairy Doctor stepped forward, protecting Yun Yun and Xiao Qing behind her. Her pale purple fighting spirit began to subtly circulate, and a faint purple-black fire mist began to spread.

Yun Yun then wrapped her arms around Xiao Qing and Guang Jian tightly, and with a light step, she floated backward with the sleeping Zi Yan.

She knew that with her current cultivation level, she was powerless against these two.

But no matter what, she and Little Fairy Doctor would not let Xiao Qing get into trouble.

"Heh... You think you can just leave? Not so easy!"

Upon seeing this, Gu You let out a sinister laugh.

He was just worried about not being able to find trouble with Xiao Bai, and now that Xiao Bai's wife and children had delivered themselves to his doorstep, how could he let them go?

"Once I capture you, I'll see if that brat Xiao Bai will still be as arrogant and rampant as before!"

Before the words were finished, Gu You's withered hand suddenly shot out, its five fingers forming a claw. Dark battle qi surged out like thick ink, instantly transforming into a ghostly black claw about ten feet in size. With a mournful howl, it tore through the air and fiercely grabbed at Little Fairy Doctor who was blocking its way!

The claws were fierce, causing subtle ripples in the air; clearly, no mercy was shown to the woman.

Faced with a claw that could easily cripple an ordinary peak Dou Zun expert, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face turned icy cold, and a sharp glint flashed in her pale purple eyes.

She neither dodged nor avoided; her slender fingers came together, and a deep purplish-black light suddenly shone from her fingertips, like the fangs of a venomous snake!
"laugh!"

She flicked her finger lightly, silently and without a sound, yet it struck first and hit the center of the black claw with perfect precision!
There was no loud energy explosion as expected.

The menacing black claws froze instantly the moment they touched the purplish-black fingertips, as if they had encountered their nemesis!

Immediately afterwards, a strange purplish-black color, like a living vine, spread rapidly from the point of contact along the black fighting spirit claws!
Wherever it passed, the solid black battle aura emitted a "sizzling" corrosive sound, quickly becoming dim and dissipating!
"what?!"

The sinister smile on Gu You's face froze instantly, replaced by astonishment and disbelief.

He felt his condensed fighting spirit claws being rapidly eroded and disintegrated by an extremely domineering and insidious alien energy!
Moreover, the highly corrosive poison actually traveled in the opposite direction, invading his palm, through the connection between his fighting spirits!

He instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but he was already a second too late.

"Uh!"

Gu You let out a muffled groan, abruptly withdrawing his hand. Looking down, he saw that a small patch of purplish-black had appeared on his palm, and this strange color, as if alive, was rapidly spreading upwards along the meridians of his arm!
A sharp, piercing pain and a numbing sensation followed!

"A demigod?! And this poison too...!"

Gu You's expression changed drastically as he looked at the woman in the purple dress opposite him, whose expression was cold and whose fingertips still retained a faint purple-black light.

He never expected that this woman not only possessed the cultivation level of a half-saint, but also that the poisonous fighting spirit she unleashed was so strange and domineering that even someone with his cultivation level was caught off guard and fell into her trap!

Sensing the poisonous gas constantly eroding his fighting spirit and meridians, he had no time to think. His powerful fighting spirit surged wildly towards his right arm like a tidal wave, attempting to expel the invading purplish-black poison from his body.

Instantly, his entire right arm was enveloped in dense black battle aura, and hissing purplish-black smoke continuously emerged from his palm.

“The Calamity Poison Body… plus the Netherworld Poison Fire…” The Great Celestial Venerable, who had been observing coldly without making a move, finally spoke slowly. His hoarse voice, like sandpaper being rubbed, rang out across the wasteland, carrying a hint of understanding and cold scrutiny.

"Perfectly mastering the Calamity Poison Body, possessing the power of two of the world's most potent poisons in one body, no wonder you were able to reach the semi-saint realm at such a young age. I underestimated you."

As soon as the Great Celestial Venerable finished speaking, a powerful aura, far more terrifying than when Gu You had made his move, suddenly erupted from his body like a sleeping ancient beast awakening!
"Om-!"

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire wasteland, and the space seemed to solidify and become viscous, like a fly thrown into amber!
The air stopped moving, the sound seemed to be swallowed up, and even the faint roars of beasts in the distance came to an abrupt end.

In the distance, Yun Yun, who was doing her best to protect Xiao Qing and the purple-gold cocoon, suddenly trembled, and her pretty face instantly lost all color.

She felt as if the space around her had turned into the bottom of a deep ocean, with unparalleled pressure squeezing in from all directions, making it extremely difficult for her to even lift a finger!

The fighting spirit that was originally flowing smoothly within his body was now like a frozen river, becoming extremely sluggish and almost impossible to mobilize.

A sense of powerlessness and suffocation, emanating from the depths of her soul, instantly gripped her.

Little Fairy Doctor, who was directly facing this oppressive force, felt it even more intensely!
She groaned, the ground beneath her feet cracking inch by inch, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead, sliding down her smooth cheeks.

She clenched her teeth, her pale purple battle aura flashing wildly on her body as she tried to resist the overwhelming pressure, but her body still trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Although she received Xiao Xuan's help in the Heavenly Tomb and successfully stepped into the realm of half-saint, her strength increased dramatically.

However, there is an insurmountable gap between a half-saint and a true Dou Sheng, not to mention that the Soul Palace Grand Venerable in front of us is a genuine two-star Dou Sheng!

Faced with this absolute level of suppression, even her highly poisonous battle aura, which was enough to make Gu You suffer, seemed somewhat pale and powerless.

"Is this... the power of a Battle Saint...?"

Little Fairy Doctor felt a bitter taste in her mouth, her heart sinking. She had already guessed that this place was probably the desolate ancient domain where Xiao Bai had come to search for the Bodhi Tree.

However, if Xiao Bai were in this desolate ancient domain, he would have absolutely no way of noticing the obvious fluctuations from that exchange.

But he hasn't shown up yet. Has he encountered trouble, or...?

Just as Little Fairy Doctor's mind raced, filled with worry and fear—

Mutations reborn!

"you dare!"

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly looked up, her eyes wide with fury, and let out a stern shout filled with shock and anger!

The figure of the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace swayed slightly in place, and in the next instant, he appeared directly in front of Yun Yun like a ghost, ignoring the barrier of space!

His withered, wisp-like hand, shrouded in a chilling black aura, moved with lightning speed, mercilessly grabbing straight at Xiao Qing!

"Qinger!"

Yun Yun's face turned pale. She used all her strength, ignoring the stinging pain in her meridians, and frantically urged her almost frozen battle qi, trying to turn around and completely shield Xiao Qing behind her.

However, under that overwhelming pressure, all her efforts seemed so futile.

Despair gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake; what if Qing'er were kidnapped by her...?

How could she ever face Cai Lin again?

How could I possibly face Xiao Bai?

Never before had she hated her own weakness and powerlessness as much as she did now!

Just when she was filled with despair—

"Buzz!"

The cocoon beside him shone brightly, emitting a deep, soul-stirring hum!

The next moment, like an enraged ancient beast, it moved with a speed beyond the limits of visual perception, carrying a savage and domineering terrifying power, and struck the withered hand that was grabbing Xiao Qing!

"boom!!!"

A deep, muffled sound, yet seemingly exploding deep within everyone's soul, suddenly erupted!
"what--!"

The Soul Palace Grand Venerable, who had been grinning maliciously, didn't even have time to react before letting out a shrill, distorted scream!
The moment his outstretched arm came into contact with the purple-gold cocoon, a teeth-grinding "crack" sound rang out, and the entire arm twisted and broke at a bizarre angle!
Immediately afterwards, that irresistible, immense force slammed into his body through his arm!

"puff!"

The Great Celestial Venerable was struck head-on by a meteorite, spitting out blood. His body flew backward uncontrollably, like a kite with a broken string!

It moved so fast that it left a blurry black shadow in the air!

"Boom--!"

The dark figure crashed violently into a majestic mountain range in the distance, smashing a huge hole through the mountain and causing a landslide. Countless boulders tumbled down, and dust billowed into the sky, filling half of the sky!
All this happened in a flash!

From the moment the Great Celestial Venerable suddenly attacked, to the counterattack of the Purple-Gold Cocoon, and then to the moment he screamed and was blasted away, the whole process took only a breath or two!

The scene fell into dead silence.

The sinister smile on Gu You's face froze completely, replaced by boundless horror and blankness. He opened his mouth wide and watched helplessly as his elder brother was smashed into the mountain like a dead dog, forgetting to react for a moment.

Yun Yun stared blankly at the light cocoon that suddenly appeared in front of her, hovering quietly. Her beautiful face was first filled with disbelief and confusion, which was then replaced by great joy.

"Zi Yan..."

Her voice trembled slightly. When she and Xian'er realized the situation was bad, they tried to call out to the sleeping Zi Yan, but received no response. Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, it was this girl who instinctively stepped forward to protect Qing'er!

Little Fairy Doctor also felt the immense pressure of the holy might on her body suddenly lighten. She immediately flashed to Yun Yun and Xiao Qing's side, and after confirming that they were unharmed, she reached out her slightly trembling hand and gently stroked the warm surface of the cocoon of light, her voice filled with lingering fear:
"Ziyan, thank you."

The purple-gold cocoon swayed slightly, emitting a soft halo, as if responding softly.

Only then did a violent cough and the sound of falling rocks come from the ruins of the mountain that had been half-collapsed.

Gu You suddenly realized what was happening, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"Big brother!"

He glanced warily at the purple-gold cocoon, then transformed into a wisp of black smoke and rushed toward the dust-filled ruins.

A moment later, he helped a disheveled figure stagger out of the ruins.

Where was the previous indifference and majesty of the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace at this moment?
His hair was disheveled, his black robe was torn, and his chest was stained with large patches of blood. His right arm, in particular, hung limply at his side, clearly completely useless.

His face was as pale as paper, and blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth. His gaze as he looked at the purple-gold cocoon was filled with unprecedented horror and disbelief!

He stared intently at the seemingly calm cocoon of light, as if he had seen something incomprehensible, his eyes filled with fear.

Was he just hit by an egg and sent flying?
Moreover, the egg still has an aura of...
A five-star Dou Sheng?!
