Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 473 Annihilation
Xiao Bai walked on air, his steps seemingly slow, but with each step he took, his figure moved forward a great distance in a strange way, quickly closing the distance with that sky-covering giant face.

The enormous, empty, indifferent eyes of the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb finally shifted from Xiao Xuan as Xiao Bai approached, slowly focusing on the seemingly insignificant purple-robed human who dared to walk towards it alone.

"Ant...it's you?!"

The sound waves, a cacophony of countless souls, carried a hint of doubt and disdain.

Xiao Bai did not answer, but continued walking forward, his gaze calmly fixed on the giant face that seemed to be composed of countless tormented souls.

"court death!"

Being so ignored, the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb was thoroughly enraged.

Although it was wary of Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan was just standing there with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of making a move. How dare a mere junior of the Xiao clan be so presumptuous in front of it?

On the giant face, countless distorted soul phantoms emitted shrill screams, and an indescribably massive soul shockwave, like an invisible tsunami, instantly condensed and crushed towards Xiao Bai!

In an instant, the sky darkened, and a storm of souls howled and roared, turning the entire world upside down.

Within the three levels of the Heavenly Tomb, the energy beings were all horrified, frantically fleeing towards the edge, fearing they would be swept into the storm and suffer the fate of having their souls scattered.

Faced with this soul impact that could change the very fabric of the world, Xiao Bai paused, his hands slowly forming a profound hand seal in front of him.

"Om-!"

His purple Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and the gold and black Tai Chi diagram on the back suddenly lit up and slowly rotated.

A vast and terrifying aura of destruction, like a ferocious beast that has been sleeping for millennia, slowly awakens!

On the Taoist robe, countless fine purple lightning patterns seemed to come alive, beginning to wander and flash wildly.

A vast expanse of purple lightning shot into the sky, centered on Xiao Bai, making him appear like a thunder god descending to earth!

"Purple Lightning!!!"

The enormous eyes of the spirit of the Heavenly Tomb trembled violently, revealing an expression of disbelief and horror for the first time.

A soul storm raged, like the howling of billions of vengeful spirits, twisting and tearing space apart.

However, amidst this terrifying soul-shaking impact, Xiao Bai remained unmoved, enveloped in dense purple lightning, like a rock in a raging torrent.

He walked steadily toward the colossal face that blotted out the sky.

Surrounded by purple light, he appeared as a god walking amidst destructive thunder.

The disdain and anger that had been in the enormous eyes of the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb had now been replaced by intense horror and disbelief.

It clearly felt that its vast and powerful soul impact, upon contact with the purple lightning surrounding the other party, was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, constantly collided and annihilated by the violent destructive power, unable to harm Xiao Bai's body in the slightest!

An unprecedented sense of crisis rose in its heart.

The last time Xiao Bai entered the Heavenly Tomb, he displayed purple lightning, but it was only a fleeting moment. It was never as continuous as it was now.

That destructive will has absolute restraint over this kind of soul-based life form!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Bai had passed through the raging soul storm without any hindrance and arrived directly beneath the enormous face.

The lightning around him intensified, colliding fiercely with the invisible soul power of the Heavenly Tomb Spirit, producing a hissing sound of annihilation and creating invisible ripples in the gray sky.

Eyes facing each other.

A pair of calm, deep human eyes, with glints of purple lightning;

The other pair were empty and indifferent, enormous pupils formed from countless tormented souls.

"The essence of your soul..."

Xiao Bai's lips curled into a faint smile, his voice soft and gentle, as if he were asking for an ordinary item.
"……give it to me."

"You're dreaming!!"

The soul of the Heavenly Tomb was utterly enraged, and the cacophony of countless souls coalesced into a hysterical roar.

If the source is gone, then what is there to exist?
The giant face suddenly twisted, its huge mouth opened, and a gray spear, formed entirely from pure soul power, was a thousand feet long. It emitted terrifying soul fluctuations, instantly tearing through the void. With a terrifying aura that could annihilate souls, it shot fiercely towards the tiny Xiao Bai below like a meteor falling to earth!
This all-out attack was determined to pierce through this arrogant human along with the annoying purple lightning on his body!
"Stubborn."

Xiao Bai's eyes turned slightly cold, and the Taoist robe flowing with deep purple light suddenly slipped off his body.

"Boom——!!"

The moment the Taoist robe left the body, it was as if some kind of restraint had been broken!
The sound of thunder was deafening, and purple thunderclouds surged into the sky like a burst dam, spreading out instantly and covering a large area of ​​the sky!
The boundless purple lightning was no longer a gentle stream of light, but transformed into countless ferocious and roaring purple lightning dragons, which roamed and surged wildly within the thunderclouds!
At this moment, a violent aura of destruction swept out like a tsunami, causing the entire Heavenly Tomb to tremble!
The thousand-foot-long spear, imbued with terrifying soul power, was slid into the purple thunderclouds as soon as it entered, its speed decreasing drastically as if it had sunk into an invisible quagmire.

"Chichichichi...!"

The piercing sounds of melting rang out in rapid succession.

The soul spear was eroded and worn away by the violent purple lightning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and completely dissipated in the blink of an eye.

After being freed from Xiao Bai's precise control, the primal, violent, and destructive power contained within the Purple Lightning of Life and Death was finally unleashed!
"boom!!"

Freed from its constraints, the vast purple thunderclouds seemed to possess their own will, colliding violently with the enormous, grotesque face in the sky!
"what--!!!"

An indescribably shrill scream instantly echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Tomb.

Wherever the purple lightning passed, the edges of the giant face screamed and were annihilated under the pure destructive power, shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Tsk tsk... In the end, we underestimated the terror of this purple lightning."

Below, Xiao Xuan stroked his chin, gazing at the giant face that was thrashing about amidst the boundless lightning, a hint of emotion flickering in his eyes.

"To clash head-on with this fully erupted purple lightning of birth and death... even in my prime, I would find it extremely troublesome and would need to take it very seriously."

He now fully understood Xiao Bai's purpose in asking him to help seal it off.

With Xiao Bai's current strength, if he were to precisely control the Life and Death Purple Lightning, he could certainly injure the Heavenly Tomb Soul, but the power would be reduced and the consumption would be enormous. Moreover, the Heavenly Tomb Soul is not a sitting duck; it remains motionless no matter how much he attacks it.

But the easiest way is to let the purple lightning, which has been fully unleashed, explode on its own and confront the soul of the Heavenly Tomb head-on in a "positional war."

What Xiao Xuan had to do was ensure that this "position" would not be breached by the Heavenly Tomb Soul, cutting off all its escape routes.

"You ant! You forced me to this!!"

The Heavenly Tomb Soul's screams were filled with endless resentment and madness. It felt its own soul being rapidly eroded by that damned purple lightning; if this continued, it would surely vanish completely!
Driven by despair and rage, it let out a hysterical roar!
The giant face, which was shrinking and twisting, suddenly contracted and condensed inward, slowly transforming into a slightly blurry human figure!

The figure was entirely translucent gray-black, except for a pair of eyes that were blood-red, filled with the most primal desire for killing and devouring. It stared intently at Xiao Bai deep within the thunderclouds, its killing intent surging like a tide!
What's even more unsettling is that a strange, grayish-white flame has begun to emerge from the surface of this humanoid body!

As the gray-white flames burned, the aura emanating from the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb began to surge violently in an abnormal way!
"Spontaneous combustion of the soul?!"

Xiao Xuan frowned immediately, a serious look appearing on his face.

This is a desperate technique used by soul beings when they are driven to the brink of despair, where they burn their own soul essence to gain temporary and powerful strength!

It is extremely powerful, but the consequences are also extremely serious. At best, it will severely damage the soul; at worst, it will cause the soul to be completely destroyed!
He shifted his feet slightly, about to lend a helping hand, but suddenly stopped.

At this moment, an ancient and mysterious seal suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Bai.

The seal is square and deep purple, with countless fine thunder patterns flowing across its surface.

Above the seal, a lifelike purple phantom of a Qilin stands upright on all four hooves, looking up at the sky with a long roar.

What's even more striking is that at the very center of that great seal, a dark flame is flickering silently.

"Insects! Be annihilated with me!!"

The blurry figure formed from the soul of the Heavenly Tomb let out a roar like a dying beast.

Its body was engulfed in raging gray-white soul flames, and its aura surged to a critical point. It temporarily broke through the blockade of the surrounding purple lightning and transformed into a gray-white fire meteor. With a determination to perish together with its opponent, it tore through the thunderclouds and pounced towards Xiao Bai!

Wherever it passed, even space itself was scorched and collapsed by the burning flames of its soul, and it took a long time to heal.

Just as the soul of the Heavenly Tomb lunged out, the large purple seal in front of Xiao Bai transformed into a stream of light and flew out. It grew rapidly in the wind, instantly expanding to a size of a thousand feet, like a purple thunderous mountain, carrying the will to suppress all ages, and descended from the sky.

It struck the Heavenly Tomb Soul squarely on the forehead!
"Om-!!"

A vast and boundless, terrifying suppressive force, seemingly originating from the very source of heaven and earth, instantly enveloped the entire body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul like an invisible shackle!

Its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and the gray-white soul flames burning around it dimmed as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it, as if they would be extinguished at any moment!
“No… Impossible!!”

The soul of the Heavenly Tomb let out a terrified scream.

The power it gained by burning its soul was utterly useless under the suppression of this strange seal, like a clay chicken or a clay dog!
As the Great Seal continued to suppress, its body, formed from the essence of the soul, began to crumble little by little from the edges, like a weathered sand sculpture, turning into crystalline specks of light.

The points of light converged towards the bottom of the great seal, beginning to condense into a ball of soul light radiating a soft and pure glow!

The ball of light was crystal clear, with what seemed to be a flowing river of stars inside, radiating a vast and boundless soul fluctuation. It was the source that had been forcibly extracted!
“No!! Stop it!!”

The soul of the Heavenly Tomb felt its power rapidly draining away, and its scarlet eyes were finally filled with unprecedented fear.

It frantically swung its arms, striking the large purple seal pressing down on its head, but the seal remained as steady as a rock, causing its arms to continuously crumble.

"Xiao Bai! Xiao Bai! Let me go! Let me go!"

An unprecedented shadow of death loomed over it, and it was utterly terrified, letting out a mournful plea.
"I'll give you complete control of the Heavenly Tomb! Everything in the Heavenly Tomb is yours! Just spare my life, and I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master and serve you like a slave! I'll give you anything you want!!"

The wailing was incredibly pitiful, echoing through the thunderous sky.

However, Xiao Bai hovered in the air, his face as calm as still water, his eyes showing no ripples.

He could clearly feel that the remaining power within the Thunder Emperor Seal was being rapidly depleted.

This great seal was formed when my cultivation level surged last time. It has been nurtured in the purple lightning and contains the origin of the Void Devouring Flame. We must finish this battle quickly!

With a thought, he spurred the Thunder Emperor Seal to shine even brighter, and its suppressive power intensified dramatically!

"what--!!"

The struggle of the Heavenly Tomb Soul grew weaker and weaker, and the rate at which its body disintegrated accelerated dramatically.

That ball of primordial soul light had become enormous, with a diameter exceeding tens of feet, emanating a pure and vast soul power, as if containing an ocean of souls!
“Insect…I…I hate you so much…Back then…I should have…saved you…completely…at any cost…”

Intermittent words, filled with endless resentment and regret, emanated from the almost completely transparent, dissipating body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul.

However, it hadn't finished its harsh words—

"Oh!"

The Thunder Emperor Seal trembled slightly, and an invisible shockwave spread out.

The last remaining consciousness and form of the Heavenly Tomb Soul, like wisps of smoke scattered by the wind, were completely shattered by this tremor, transforming into the most primordial soul particles that merged into the massive soul light cluster, leaving no trace whatsoever.

The soul of the Heavenly Tomb, which had lingered there for countless years, was thus... utterly annihilated!
Just as the soul of the Heavenly Tomb dissipated—

At the same moment, all the energy entities within the Heavenly Tomb experienced a sudden jolt.

Their eyes, which were originally filled with scarlet and a devouring desire, gradually became clear.

They stood there stunned, feeling the invisible shackles deep within their souls shatter, and for a moment, they were at a loss.

After a brief silence came a ecstasy and liberation, like a volcanic eruption!

Countless energy entities raised their heads in unison, their gazes fixed on the white-haired figure slowly approaching the enormous and crystalline ball of soul light in the sky.

They understood who had ended this endless cycle and freed them from their eternal nightmare.

The next moment, almost all the energy bodies bowed down in unison to the figure in the sky!

Silence speaks louder than words.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xuan, who had been standing below with his hands behind his back, maintaining the spatial seal, suddenly had a surge of divine light in his eyes the instant the Heavenly Tomb Soul completely dissipated.

He clearly felt that the invisible chain of rules that had been subtly binding him to this Heavenly Tomb had snapped with a bang as the soul of the Heavenly Tomb was annihilated.

An unprecedented sense of ease and freedom washed over his soul and his entire being.

His lips couldn't help but curl upwards, revealing a genuinely joyful smile, and his gaze towards Xiao Bai gradually became fiery.
