Chapter 117 Dugu Xiaoxuan, Heavenly Heart Mark

Even though the ancient temple was destroyed, the remaining ruins still exude a solemn and mysterious aura.

On the ruins in front of the temple.

Chen Nan stared in shock at the hundred-zhang-long purple-gold dragon in the sky, which was tightly bound by the pure white and warm jade ruyi he had obtained from the ancient god's ruins, unable to break free.

"This jade ruyi is actually a forbidden divine object from the previous era of gods and demons?"

As Chen Nan watched the purple-gold dragon shrink as the jade ruyi continuously devoured its dragon essence, he murmured to himself, sensing the terrifying power of this ancient forbidden divine artifact.

"Who am I? I want to see the light of day again... to see the light of day again..."

Just as Chen Nan was surprised, he suddenly heard a female voice echoing from the jade ruyi high in the sky, which shocked Chen Nan greatly. There was actually consciousness in the jade ruyi.

"Great God, Great God! Spare Little Dragon!"

Upon hearing the voice from the jade scepter, the purple-gold dragon high in the sky let out another series of ghostly howls, shouting at the top of its lungs in the void.

Unfortunately, the consciousness within the jade ruyi did not respond to it, but instead continuously devoured the dragon essence of the purple-gold divine dragon. The five-clawed true dragon, at the Divine Emperor realm, had its entire essence completely devoured, transforming into the form of a young dragon, which fell in front of Chen Nan.

"Hahaha...you're now in my hands!"

Chen Nan's wild laughter echoed through the valley as he stepped forward and captured the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon, which had transformed into a young dragon.

When the old man guarding the tomb arrived, he found He Lang already standing in the void, quietly watching this scene.

The two stood there in the void, completely unaware of Chen Nan on the ground.

The old tomb keeper said with some surprise, "That kid Chen Nan is actually here too!"

"He is special because he can attract the reincarnations of countless forbidden powerhouses from the era of gods and demons. He is also attracted by the aura of ancient gods and demons, and will naturally be drawn to these places."

Chen Nan was resurrected from the underground of the Cemetery of Gods and Demons. Dugu Baitian and Chen Zhan resurrected him using forbidden methods, turning him into the 'Tomb of Gods' where countless divine and demonic battle souls reside, which naturally attracted him.

The old tomb keeper glanced at Chen Nan, who was torturing the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon, and at the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon swearing, and his lips twitched.

The Dragon Emperor of this generation has a truly wicked personality!

Some of the tomb guardians, unable to bear looking at the art style, shifted their gaze to the jade ruyi. The tomb guardian opened his heavenly eye and looked into the primordial space within the jade ruyi, where he saw his good disciple, Dugu Baitian's youngest daughter, Dugu Xiaoxuan.

In the primordial space, a boundless sea of ​​blood appeared, enveloped by immeasurable rules of order and runes of the Great Dao. The voice of the remnant soul formed by Dugu Xiaoxuan's undying spiritual consciousness echoed in the primordial space of the jade ruyi. The consciousness of the remnant soul was extremely blurred, with only one obsession remaining.

"What's wrong with Xiaoxuan?"

The old tomb keeper's expression changed when he saw the scene in the Jade Ruyi's primordial space. It seemed that Dugu Xiaoxuan had encountered an accident, and he sensed the presence of the Heavenly Dao in that primordial space.

At this moment, the old man guarding the tomb could no longer sit still. He directly used his supernatural powers to break through the restrictions on the jade ruyi and enter it.

"It's not a big problem. She took a Heavenly Dao Treasure that I was refining from my Imperial Palace while I was undergoing my transformation. I took a look, and it seems that she made a mistake in comprehending the rules of the Heavenly Dao Treasure, and an accident occurred during her transformation." He Lang also opened his Heavenly Dao Eye and looked into the Jade Ruyi, understanding why Dugu Xiaoxuan had become like this.

After reaching the Great Emperor realm of the True Self in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, he merged with the universe and condensed the profound divine mark of the Heavenly Heart Imprint. After comprehending the mysteries of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, he also passed on his insights to him.

Drawing on his experience, he used the extracted essence of the Heavenly Dao as material, guided the thoughts of all living beings to transform into furnace fire, and refined a Heavenly Heart Imprint.

While he was in seclusion, he was entrusted to Dugu Xiaoxuan for care. However, when the gods of Heaven rebelled and disbanded, Dugu Xiaoxuan took away the Heavenly Heart Mark. When he came out of seclusion, he had disappeared and no one knew where it was. He searched for it countless times throughout the Six Realms.

Now, seeing the scene in the jade ruyi, He Lang understood the reason. His Heavenly Heart Mark had fused many cultivation systems. Dugu Xiaoxuan had comprehended the Heavenly Heart Mark, causing her soul to undergo a transformation. Her original aura had changed, so naturally, he could not find her.

The old tomb keeper opened the jade ruyi, creating a portal. He quickly rushed into the jade ruyi and arrived beside the remnant soul of Dugu Xiaoxuan above the sea of ​​blood.

When he saw the countless crystalline symbols imprinted on every single one of Dugu Xiaoxuan's divine thoughts, he immediately felt extremely troubled.

These most fundamental symbols of the Great Dao are the source of the aura of the Heavenly Dao. His disciple is being subdued by the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

"Heavenly Emperor, are you still watching the show? Xiao Xuan has been your maid for a thousand years, how can you bear to see her like this?"

The old tomb keeper complained to He Lang, who had entered the jade ruyi and immediately began to explore every part of it with his divine sense.

"It's good to let her suffer a bit. How dare you two, master and disciple, bring this up! You shattered my Investiture of the Gods, and she took away the Heavenly Treasures that I refined. Neither of them are reliable."

Dugu Xiaoxuan became his maid because during the time of the war against the heavens, when he used the old tomb guardian as a weapon to sweep across the heavenly road, Dugu Xiaoxuan accidentally stumbled upon him and tried to rescue the old tomb guardian from his hands, but was also suppressed by him.

While saying this, He Lang did not stop. After his divine sense had explored every part of the jade ruyi, he already knew where Dugu Xiaoxuan had placed the Heavenly Dao Treasure he had refined.

Dugu Xiaoxuan comprehended the secrets of the Heavenly Heart Mark he had refined and fused it into her soul, intending to completely control the Heavenly Heart Mark.

He reached out and grabbed at the soul of Dugu Xiaoxuan, whose consciousness was empty and whose only remaining obsession was still present. From the depths of Dugu Xiaoxuan's soul origin, he pulled out a crystal mark that was supremely divine and sacred.

After He Lang extracted this crystalline mark from Dugu Xiaoxuan's soul origin, it was protected by the laws and divine chains of order within Dugu Xiaoxuan's inner world. It seemed that this mark was the center of the Great Dao of the inner world, the root of everything.

When the old tomb keeper saw this incredibly profound mark, it was as if he saw the Heavenly Dao itself in the Nine Heavens. It seemed that by holding this mark, he could control the operation of the Great Dao and change the combination of laws and order.

"What is this thing? How can there be a mark similar to the Heavenly Dao inside Xiao Xuan'er's body?"

The old man guarding the tomb stared at the mark, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"This is the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao that she took; you can call it the Heavenly Heart Imprint."

After He Lang took out the Heavenly Heart Mark, it fell into his body on its own and merged with him, making He Lang's aura more lofty and ethereal, as if he had transcended the constraints of the world.

In that instant, the old man guarding the tomb felt a chill run through his body. His intuition warned him that he sensed a kind of pressure from a higher level of life.

After He Lang retrieved the Heavenly Heart Mark from Dugu Xiaoxuan's soul essence, the boundless sea of ​​blood underwent a sudden change. The divine chains of order within the sea of ​​blood emitted countless rays of crimson light, and the boundless sea of ​​blood rapidly shrank, revealing a crystalline white skeleton within.
