Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 521 Do you think this is a menu for ordering food?!

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Xiao family courtyard, under the golden peach tree.

The recliner rocked gently, making a creaking sound.

Xiao Bai closed his eyes, put his arms behind his head, and as the recliner swayed slightly, his mind had already sunk deep into his body.

The source of the birth and death purple lightning floated quietly, appearing extremely still.

For the past month, he has been trying to comprehend that destructive power every day.

However, whenever his mind drew closer, his soul would feel a vague sense of crisis, as if taking another step forward meant falling into an abyss.

The power of destruction is like a sleeping beast, radiating a pure will to destroy.

"What exactly is the difference?"

Xiao Bai sighed softly to himself.

Its life force has reached its peak; with a mere gesture, it can bring withered trees back to life.

However, the power of annihilation could not penetrate its defenses, as if separated by an invisible barrier.

Just then, he felt a cool sensation on his lips, with a faint fruity fragrance.

I opened my eyes, and a beautiful face with a radiant smile came into view.

Xun'er's slender, delicate hand held a peeled, green fruit and gently placed it near his lips.

Seeing him open his eyes, Xun'er smiled sweetly: "Brother Xiao Bai, try this jade fruit."

Xiao Bai opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit, its sweet taste filling his mouth.

Xun'er felt her fingertips lightly touched by his teeth, and a tingling current instantly spread throughout her body, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.

Her face flushed slightly, and she gave him a shy, reproachful look: "How old are you? Still acting like a child—"

"Pfft!"

The two's subtle interactions were observed by the Little Fairy Doctor sitting opposite them. She covered her mouth and chuckled, teasingly saying, "Our Little White must still be young, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to distinguish between picking herbs and flowers back in the Monster Mountain Range!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun, who was sitting next to her, blushed deeply.

She gave Little Fairy Doctor a light glare, which only elicited more cheerful laughter from her.

That day, when Xiao Bai took them to the new territory of the Snake People, they stayed for a few days in that valley of the Monster Mountain Range.

Midway through, she and Xiao Bai secretly went to the cave where they first met to spend some time together, but were "accidentally" discovered by the other three women.

Now, the women all know how the two met back then.

She then learned that Xiao Bai was able to encounter her, who was seriously injured, in the Monster Mountain Range because he was helping Little Fairy Doctor gather herbs in the valley at that time.

Meeting the three women's amused gazes, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with shyness and reproach as she glared at the culprit.

I don't know what came over me at the time, but I impulsively agreed to that lecherous man's outrageous request.

"hey-hey----"

Xiao Bai chuckled softly, narrowing his eyes, before changing the subject for the blushing Yun Yun: "Let's go to Yunlan Sect tomorrow. After I investigate the Gate of Life and Death, we should head back."

The women were taken aback upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashing in their eyes.

This past month has been the time in recent years that Xiao Bai has spent the most time wholeheartedly with them.

There is no pressure of cultivation, no external disturbances, only warmth and tranquility.

They cherish these moments all the more.

"Are we going back so soon? —"

Xun'er murmured softly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

However, she knew that as the Palace Master of Zixiao Palace, Xiao Bai needed someone to oversee the situation in Zixiao Palace, given the current unstable situation on the continent and the whereabouts of the Soul Emperor.

"Mm." Xiao Bai nodded.

Although the women were reluctant to part with him, they understood.

Just then—

"Brother Bai—Brother Bai—"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Xiao Yan walked in with Tang Huo'er.

He spotted Xiao Bai in the rocking chair under the peach tree at a glance. After greeting the girls, he approached Xiao Bai with a mysterious smile on his face: "Brother Bai, guess what I brought you back this time?"

Tang Huo'er looked at him, shook her head with a smile, and walked over to the girls to whisper among themselves.

Xiao Bai found it amusing.

He sensed it as soon as he returned to Wutan City this morning.

It seems that after greeting Xiao Zhan and the others, he couldn't wait to come here.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was feigning mystery and full of anticipation, Xiao Bai chuckled and said, "Take out the Yin-Yang Twin Flames you obtained in the Tianqing Mountains."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan shuddered, and his smile froze on his face.

He stared at Xiao Bai with his mouth agape in disbelief, stammering, "Brother Bai, can you predict the future?!"

If Xiao Bai could sense the Yin-Yang dual flames on his body, he could still say it was a miraculous manifestation of an Emperor-level soul.

But to even know where he obtained the strange fire is something that a soul at the Emperor Realm level cannot do!

Tang Huo'er was also shocked. She looked up at Xiao Bai in disbelief.

She felt that this person was really unfathomable.

Fortunately, he was Xiao Yan's elder brother; if he were an enemy—

Thinking of this, she shuddered slightly and dared not think any further.

Xiao Bai smiled without saying a word, but simply extended his hand.

Xiao Yan then came to his senses, suppressed his shock, and took out a ball of flame from his storage ring.

The flames are black and white, clearly distinct yet seamlessly integrated.

The white parts are pure and warm, radiating vitality; the black parts are cold and eerie, filled with an aura of death.

It is the Yin-Yang Twin Flames!

It ranks twenty-first on the list of strange flames. Although it is ranked low, it is quite strange because it contains both the extreme powers of life and death.

Xiao Bai took the Yin-Yang Twin Flames and held them in his palm.

Flames leaped in his hands, the white flames warm as the spring sun, the black flames cold as ice.

Two completely different forces miraculously merged together, forming a perfect balance.

"Yin-Yang Twin Flames — Yin fire kills, Yang fire heals —"

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the flames.

He could clearly sense that the white flames were full of life, while the black flames were filled with an aura of death.

This balance between life and death seems to have a similar effect to the birth and death purple lightning within his body.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai's heart stirred, and his soul probed into the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

The next moment—

"Huh?!"

A glint of light flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and he immediately sat up straight, a look of joy on his face.

The crowd in the courtyard fell silent, their eyes fixed on him, wondering what he had discovered in the strange fire.

Xun'er, Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun exchanged glances, all seeing curiosity in each other's eyes.

Xiao Yan held his breath, watching Xiao Bai nervously.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Xiao Bai remained motionless, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing.

An hour passed, and he remained in the same posture, but the aura emanating from his body began to subtly change.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats; you could hear a pin drop in the courtyard.

Cai Lin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She could sense that something seemed to be brewing within Xiao Bai.

That feeling—it was very mysterious.

After a while, everyone suddenly noticed that Xiao Bai's lips were slowly curving upwards.

A smile spread across his face, eventually turning into a hearty laugh: "Haha—I see—I see—"

"I was mistaken before!"

As he spoke, purple mist enveloped him, and thunder roared.

Everyone was immediately surprised to find that the surrounding air had become exceptionally fresh, and a powerful vitality was emanating from Xiao Bai.

Even the Golden Fire Peach Tree behind him was affected, with new branches constantly extending from its thick trunk and tender buds sprouting.

In the blink of an eye, flower buds bloomed one by one, and the tree was covered in flowers, filling the air with fragrance.

"this----"

Xiao Yan was shocked, then scratched his head, his face full of joy.

Fortunately, it seems that the Yin-Yang Twin Flames can help Brother Bai.

"Life and death — birth and death — mutual restraint — mutual generation —"

Xiao Bai murmured softly, his vitality growing stronger and stronger, almost turning into a tangible halo.

"The ultimate state of life is destruction. And after the ultimate state of destruction, new life will arise again."

"It turns out that the way to enter the realm of enlightenment is not to directly comprehend destruction, but to understand the true meaning of destruction through the lens of life."

As Xiao Bai murmured to himself, everyone felt that the life force seemed to have reached a certain limit.

In the courtyard, the flowers, plants and trees are growing wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The grass, which was originally only low enough to cover the shoes, suddenly grew up to knee height!

The old vines in the corner spread wildly, almost covering half of the wall!

The Golden Fire Peach Tree is even more lush and verdant, with flowers blooming like a sea, and the fragrance is so rich that it's almost overwhelming!

"Such vibrant life!"

Yun Yun exclaimed in surprise.

She possesses both wind and thunder attributes, making her less sensitive to the power of life than others.

Even so, she could clearly feel that the courtyard was teeming with life at this moment.

It was as if the life of the entire courtyard had been pushed to its limit at this moment!

"Oh no, let's go!"

Cai Lin's expression suddenly changed. With a wave of her jade hand, a powerful force swept everyone up and they instantly disappeared from the spot.

Before anyone could react, after leaving the courtyard and stabilizing themselves in mid-air, they looked back at the courtyard and were immediately filled with shock.

The once vibrant and wildly growing flowers, plants, and trees are being annihilated at a visible rate!

That kind of annihilation is not withering, nor decay.

Instead, it turned directly into ashes, as if it had never existed!

An extremely terrifying aura enveloped the entire courtyard; the aura was deathly still and pure, carrying the will to destroy everything!

"That is—"

Xun'er's pupils contracted, and she was horrified.

She could sense that the aura was completely opposite to the life force that Xiao Bai had previously comprehended.

If the power of life is creation, revival, and warmth.

Then this aura is destruction, ruin, and death!

In the courtyard, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames floated in front of Xiao Bai.

At this moment, the strange fire was flickering constantly, its black and white flames alternating between light and shadow, as if it could not withstand the pressure of that destructive aura.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the black and white flames of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames began to slowly extinguish.

It was neither suppressed nor absorbed.

Instead, it was simply erased!

It was as if an invisible hand had completely wiped this strange fire from the world!

"How...how scary..."

Tang Huo'er stammered, her eyes wide as she watched the Yin-Yang Twin Flames slowly disappear.

How terrifying is this strange fire!

Even the lowest-ranked strange fire contains a wisp of the origin of heaven and earth.

You can subdue it, you can refine it, but if you want to erase it, the only way is to self-destruct it and let it return to the world.

But in front of Xiao Bai at this moment, a mere aura was enough to annihilate a strange fire!

What terrifying power this is!

Cai Lin's expression was solemn, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

The atmosphere in the courtyard startled her.

Even with her five-star Dou Sheng cultivation, she probably wouldn't have any power to resist the terrifying destructive aura emanating from the courtyard.

"So this is—the power of annihilation that Xiaobai has been trying to comprehend—"

Little Fairy Doctor murmured softly, her eyes filled with both surprise and joy.

What was astonishing was the terrifying power, but what pleased Xiao Bai was that he had finally comprehended it.

Yun Yun held her jade-like hand tightly, her gaze fixed on Xiao Bai in the courtyard, her eyes filled with concern.

Xiao Yan was equally shocked, but his face turned pale.

He could clearly feel the various strange flames within his body trembling constantly!

That feeling—was fear!

Since he subdued these strange flames, he had never felt this kind of emotion from them!

Even the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which ranks third on the list of strange flames, did not exhibit such unusual activity within its body.

But now, they are afraid!

I'm afraid of the atmosphere that hangs over the courtyard!

"This guy is getting more and more perverted—"

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the Yin-Yang Twin Flames that had finally dissipated completely in the courtyard, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The Yin-Yang Twin Flames he had painstakingly found were gone just like that.

Although it was originally meant to be a gift to him, seeing a strange flame "erased" in this way inevitably left him with mixed feelings.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound rang out, as if something had broken.

At this moment, Xiao Bai in the courtyard suddenly felt his aura surge!

The aura of destruction suddenly subsided, replaced by a mysterious fluctuation.

"We've broken through!!"

Xiao Yan immediately became withdrawn.

He had just experienced the bottleneck in advancing to the level of a half-saint, and thought that his progress was so rapid that he would be able to catch up with Brother Bai in the near future.

But now————

This guy has broken through his cultivation level yet again!

They really treat spiritual practice like eating and drinking!

In the courtyard, Xiao Bai slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within the pupils, purple mist swirled, and lightning raged.

"Eight-star late stage —"

Xiao Bai murmured to himself, feeling the terrifying destructive power newly emerging within his body, which was no different from the annihilating power within the purple lightning.

Extreme vitality contains destruction, and extreme destruction is followed by rebirth.

This is the true essence of the Purple Lightning of Life and Death!

This time, he went from life to death, and his power of destruction reached its peak. He comprehended rebirth from destruction, and he will be able to completely control the Purple Lightning of Life and Death!

"When you are born, you die, when you die, you are born, reincarnation is the same..."

Xiao Bai raised his hand, a flash of dark red lightning appearing at his fingertips.

This is the Myriad Tribulations Reincarnation Lightning he obtained when he broke through to the Douhuang realm.

In terms of power, the Purple Lightning of Life and Death is undoubtedly the number one among all lightning.

But if we're talking about mystery, the "Ten Thousand Calamities Reincarnation Thunder" is undoubtedly number one.

He still has no clue about the effect of this thunder.

Time and space...reincarnation...

Thinking of this information about Lei, he shook his head.

Just now, in the instant he grasped the meaning of destruction from the life force, the lightning suddenly exhibited an inexplicable and strange movement.

But it only fluctuated for a moment, and then there was no further reaction.

After pondering for a long time without any clue, he dispersed the lightning in his hand and stood up.

Congratulations, Brother Xiao Bai!

Everyone flew back to the courtyard and offered their congratulations, genuinely happy for him.

"Brother Bai, how did you do that just now?"

Xiao Yan leaned closer and asked curiously, "That was the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, and it's just... gone?"

He still felt a little sorry for him.

After all, it is a strange flame, and although it ranks low, it is still a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

"You want it?"

Xiao Bai looked at him with a smile, his tone seemingly pointed.

"It's just a bit of a pity!"

Xiao Yan shook his head. Perhaps it was because of his cultivation of the Burning Technique, but he had a special feeling for the strange fire. Watching it dissipate into the world, he felt a pang of sorrow.

"Speaking of which, I owe my insights to the Yin-Yang Twin Flames you brought. Since you say it's a pity, then I'll let them reappear in the world!"

As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, he raised his arm and made a sweeping motion in the air amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd.

Everyone immediately felt an aura of life and death intertwined, swirling in the void.

"Fire of Heaven and Earth, heed my command, condense!"

In an instant, everyone felt the temperature in the courtyard rise sharply, and a surge of powerful fire-attribute energy rolled in from all directions, continuously condensing on the aura that resembled the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

"Oh my god..."

Xiao Yan felt that he had been shocked more times today than he had in his entire life.

As a continuous stream of fire-attribute energy surged in, a wisp of black and white flame began to appear in the void before them!

The women's mouths were slightly agape, their faces blank with disbelief.

They watched as the flames grew stronger, eventually slowly condensing into a Yin-Yang Twin Flame that was no different from the previous one!

Xiao Yan stared at the black and white flames swaying in the void, his eyes suddenly brightening like two suns, and he was so excited that he danced with joy.

"Brother Bai, quick, get one of each of the strange flames on the ranking list..."

This is an artificial flame!

Moreover, its power and aura are in no way inferior to the previous one!

That's incredibly awesome, isn't it!

If he could condense twenty-two kinds, wouldn't he be able to take off on the spot?!

Xiao Bai's breath hitched upon hearing this. He glared at Xiao Yan, whose eyes were full of longing, and flicked his finger, causing the Yin-Yang Twin Flames to float in front of him: "Do you think this is a menu to order food?!"

"Just this one, take it or leave it!"

The fact that he could condense Yin and Yang flames meant that he had thoroughly comprehended this strange fire.

Its inherent vitality and destructive power are extremely similar to his earlier realization, which is why it was able to reappear in the world.

This kid is something else, he's even using it as a wish-granting machine!
