Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 537 Devouring the Ancestral Symbol

Deep within the ancient wilderness, the massive ancient stele stands silently.

Suddenly, ripples spread across the space in front of the ancient stele, gradually transforming into a slowly rotating energy vortex.

Xiao Bai slowly stepped out from there.

"Young Master—"

Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of fear.

Xiao Bai looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A girl dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit came into view, her hands nervously clasped together, her expression flustered.

"You are—that person—"

Xiao Bai recognized her as the girl who had mustered the courage to speak to him in front of the Creation Martial Stele.

She showed considerable courage by standing up for the three major clans at the time.

However, Xiao Bai only knew that she was from one of the four major clans, but he didn't know her specific name.

After all, to him, all these people were pretty much the same.

"My name is Huangpu Jing, and I am a member of the Huangpu family."

"9

The girl was speechless, but mostly helpless.

He was, after all, a direct descendant of the Huangpu family, and a prominent figure in the Great Yan Dynasty.

She had previously given the boy two million Pure Yuan Pills, but he didn't even know who she was.

However, thinking of Xiao Bai's ruthless and decisive methods, she quickly suppressed her thoughts and dared not show the slightest abnormality.

She hurried forward, seemingly afraid that Xiao Bai would misunderstand, and said as she walked, "It was Sister Qingzhu who told me to wait for the young master here—"

Xiao Bai's heart stirred.

Ling Qingzhu?

Didn't that girl already leave?

Could it be that she intends to return the Bodhi cushion?

He frowned slightly.

Just as he was guessing, Huangpu Jing stopped three steps away from him, holding a silk bag in both hands, and carefully handed it to him.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "Qingzhu asked me to give this to you, young master."

Xiao Bai's gaze fell on the silk bag, and he immediately felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

On the light blue fabric, there is an embroidered, delicate character for "bamboo".

Isn't this the personal storage bag that Ling Qingzhu always carries around her waist?

He remembered clearly that when they first met in the ancient tomb, Ling Qingzhu was wearing this storage bag on her waist.

Later, she carried it with her even when she was in the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele.

Why did that girl give him this?

Could there be something inside?

Curious, Xiao Bai reached out and the storage bag flew into the air and landed in his hand.

It feels smooth to the touch and still retains a familiar, subtle fragrance.

Without hesitation, he opened the storage bag.

"boom--!"

The moment the storage bag was opened, an extremely rich, fiery red aura shot into the sky!

The red aura was intense and powerful, like a volcanic eruption, instantly illuminating the surrounding space for thousands of feet in a fiery red!

"This is—the Nirvana Qi produced by the Nirvana Pill!!"

Huangpu Jing stared wide-eyed at the scene, her mouth agape.

Born into the Huangpu family, she naturally recognized the aura of the Nirvana Pill.

But this was the first time she had ever seen such a rich aura of nirvana!

How many Nirvana Pills would it take to produce such a terrifying phenomenon?

Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?

No, it's probably far more than that!

Maybe more!

Huangpu Jing felt that her understanding of the world had been severely impacted.

It should be noted that in the Great Yan Dynasty, the Nirvana Pill was an extremely precious elixir.

A single Nirvana Pill is enough to make even a Creation Realm expert scramble for it.

As one of the four major clans, the Huangpu family had never seen such an unusual phenomenon in their stock of Nirvana Pills.

Sister Qingzhu—she actually gave so many Nirvana Pills to the young man before her.

You must really think highly of him!

Just as Huangpu Jing was enveloped by this dense Nirvana aura, feeling his internal energy surging and almost breaking through his realm, Xiao Bai flicked his fingertip, and the storage bag suddenly closed.

The soaring red aura abruptly stopped and vanished in an instant.

The lingering, rich elemental energy in the air slowly dissipated.

Huangpu Jing finally came to her senses, panting heavily, her eyes filled with shock.

Just a moment ago, she felt like she was about to be burst by that immense energy.

Xiao Bai held the storage bag, a smile playing on his lips, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that Ling Qingzhu would give him such a generous gift.

Although he only caught a quick glance, he had already seen that the storage bag contained a total of 2,376,523 Nirvana Pills!

The girl had given him all the Nirvana Pills she had, both in small and large quantities.

"This girl—"

Xiao Bai shook his head and chuckled.

How could he not know what Ling Qingzhu was thinking?

She was afraid that I wouldn't accept it, so she had Huangpu Jing resell it. That way, even if I refused, I wouldn't be able to find her.

However, this gift was indeed something he needed.

Otherwise, even if he searched the entire Great Yan Dynasty, he would probably only be able to scrape together a hundred thousand at most.

"With these Nirvana Pills, advancing to the Nirvana Realm will be no problem at all —"

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

He had originally planned to visit Yin Kui City and then go to the Great Yan Royal Family.

Let's see if we can enter the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield ahead of time and search for the Nirvana Pill in the ancient secret treasure.

It seems there's no need to rush.

Two million Nirvana Pills are enough for him to advance to the Nirvana Realm.

Xiao Bai was in a great mood after putting the storage bag into his storage ring.

He looked at Huangpu Jing, who was still standing there in a daze, and laughed, "Not bad. If you scare me next time, I can give you a discount."

Without waiting for Huangpu Jing's reaction, a golden light flashed beneath his feet.

A golden lightning sword materialized, its blade crackling with lightning and radiating a sharp aura.

Xiao Bai stepped onto the Thunder Sword, soared into the sky, and transformed into a golden streak of light, instantly disappearing into the distant horizon.

Only Huangpu Jing remained standing in place, disheveled in the wind.

"How about a discount?"

Huangpu Jing blinked, and it took her a while to react.

She stared in the direction Xiao Bai had disappeared, stomped her foot, gritted her teeth, and said angrily.

"Who wants your discount!"

She'd rather not have that discount!

Two million Pure Yuan Pills would be a painful price to pay even for the Huangpu family!

However, thinking of the boy's decisive and ruthless personality, her face fell.

"Sister Qingzhu, such a fairy-like figure, I don't know why she's so fond of this wicked star, even giving him her personal storage bag—"

She knew that this woman, though seemingly gentle, was actually proud and arrogant, and that ordinary men were simply not good enough for her.

Even the geniuses of the four great clans would not leave the slightest trace in her heart.

But what about this unfathomable young man?

Huangpu Jing recalled Ling Qingzhu's attitude towards him in the square earlier.

That kind of undisguised protection is something that ordinary friends would never do.

"Perhaps, only a man like this can catch Qingzhu's eye—"

Huangpu Jing's mind flashed back to Xiao Bai's unique aura, unfathomable strength, and the domineering confidence in his eyes—

Such a man is indeed extraordinary.

As she stared blankly in the direction where Xiao Bai had disappeared, she suddenly noticed a noise behind her.

Looking back, I was startled.

Suddenly, a young man riding a tiger appeared not far away, standing where Xiao Bai had been standing, quietly watching her.

"What are you looking at?"

Huangpu Jing put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at him.

Of course she recognized him; he was the boy from the Lin family who had branched out.

Lin Dong, who has recently gained some fame in the Great Wilderness County, previously overpowered Lin Langtian in the Creation Martial Stele and also obtained the Creation Martial Arts.

Several black lines immediately appeared on Lin Dong's forehead.

He had just come out of the ancient stele passage and landed right behind Huangpu Jing, but it wasn't intentional.

"As expected, the people of the four major clans are all unreasonable."

Lin Dong thought to himself, "I'm too lazy to argue with her."

He withdrew his gaze and patted the Crimson Tiger that was sitting down.

"Xiao Yan, let's go."

With a low roar, the Crimson Tiger exerted force with its four hooves, transforming into a crimson shadow as it swiftly sped off in a certain direction.

Huangpu Jing looked at Lin Dong's retreating figure and pursed her lips.

Immediately, she noticed that Lin Dong had left in the same direction as that evil star, and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

A moment later, she stomped her foot, and her figure transformed into a streak of light, disappearing in another direction.

And so, silence returned once again before the ancient stele of the Great Wilderness.

Yin Kui City.

It is located in the famous Xuanyin Mountains of Dahuang County.

Deep within the mountains, a sharp, chilling atmosphere perpetually hangs in the air, like a bone-scraping knife, making it unbearable for ordinary people to linger.

Otherwise, once cold air enters the body, it can cause minor damage to the meridians or even death.

Yin Kui City, the stronghold of the Yin Kui Sect, is built on the main peak of the Xuan Yin Mountains, and is extremely majestic.

The entire city seemed to blend into the mountains, and the black city walls looked particularly austere in the cold wind.

Most of the buildings in the city are made of black stone, with a rough style and a sinister feel.

In the city, on the top floor of an inn near the mountaintop.

Xiao Bai sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes slightly closed, his Yuan energy flowing around his body.

Golden and black lightning intertwined within his body, forming a perfect tai chi pattern that slowly rotated.

"Buzz"

Within his dantian, the golden and black primordial core suddenly trembled, its size expanding once more.

The surface crackled with lightning, emitting even more powerful elemental energy fluctuations.

Xiao Bai slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden and black lightning disappearing within them.

"The Realm of Form Creation — Minor Success"

He felt the increasingly powerful Yuan energy within his body, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Bai leaped up from the couch, went to the window, and opened it.

A biting chill swept over us, and as far as the eye could see, the entire Yin Kui City came into view.

The most eye-catching feature is the massive Yin Kui Sect headquarters complex atop the mountain.

The black palaces stretched out in a continuous, undulating pattern, exuding a cold and somber atmosphere.

"It's been half a month —"

Xiao Bai's gaze remained calm.

He could sense that there were many more subtle auras within the Yin Kui Sect.

These scents weren't there half a month ago.

Clearly, the Yin Puppet Sect has recalled many of its experts who were away during this period.

A quick glance at the street below revealed that there were significantly more disciples dressed in Yin Kui Sect attire than half a month ago.

These people, in groups of three or five, were naturally vigilant, scrutinizing every passerby.

The entire Yin Kui City was under heavy guard, and the atmosphere was tense and ominous.

"It seems that the Tenka is coming back—"

Xiao Bai understood.

When he arrived in Yin Kui City half a month ago, he used his soul power to explore the entire Yin Kui Sect.

However, no aura of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was sensed.

Later, he captured an elder of the Yin Kui Sect and found out after interrogation.

Teng Sha, the sect leader of the Yin Kui Sect, disappeared from the sect after obtaining the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and no one knows where he went.

However, the elder revealed that Teng Sha had recently sent back a message saying that he would soon return to Yin Kui City to gather the strength of the entire sect to break a seal.

That's why Xiao Bai stayed in the city and patiently waited for half a month.

"Um?"

Xiao Bai's gaze suddenly turned towards the foot of the mountain, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"That kid's here too."

At the foot of the mountain, a figure dressed in a wide black robe and wearing a straw hat was sneaking over the city wall, like a ghost infiltrating the city.

The figure moved nimbly and concealed its aura so well that even ordinary cultivators at the Creation Realm might not be able to detect it.

But under Xiao Bai's soul power perception, it had nowhere to hide.

He knew, of course, why Lin Dong had come.

"But this time—"

A profound look flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.

"Little guy, without the mark of the Black Pupil, you won't be able to handle the Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

If it were anything else insignificant, he wouldn't mind letting Lin Dong take it, and he wouldn't even mind lending a hand.

But the ancestral symbol won't work.

The Ancestral Symbol contains the essence of the Heaven and Earth of the Tianxuan Continent, making it an essential item for him.

It concerns his future spiritual practice, and he cannot give it up to anyone.

Soon, the time came for the sun and moon to alternate.

As the sun sets, the afterglow is like blood.

As night was about to fall, the last rays of the setting sun painted the Xuan Yin Mountains a dark red.

Just then, the small talisman Dao Fruit in Xiao Bai's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly began to pulsate slightly.

"Finally back————"

Xiao Bai looked up at the mountaintop.

He could sense an unfamiliar aura of the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm rapidly approaching from afar and entering his sensing range.

Meanwhile, on the huge black stone plaza at the mountaintop...

Many powerful figures from the Yin Kui Sect had been waiting for a long time.

The square was covered with intricate runes.

All around, hundreds of Yin Kui Sect disciples stood in neat rows, their auras chilling and menacing.

"boom--!"

A dark shadow descended from the sky and landed heavily in the center of the square.

He was a middle-aged man with a slightly pale face, dressed in a black robe, with a sinister expression and sharp, eagle-like eyes.

"Welcome, Sect Master!"

In the square, all the powerful members of the Yin Puppet Sect knelt on one knee in unison, their voices booming.

Teng Sha waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Get up, everyone."

Everyone stood up and stood respectfully on both sides.

Two leading elders stepped forward, their auras clearly indicating they were at the Creation Realm, making them the left and right elders below the Soaring Throne.

Elder Zuo's cloudy gaze swept across the four directions of the main peak, a faint cold light gleaming within.

"Sect Master, are you sure you want to gather the strength of the entire sect now to break the seal on that thing?"

'

He said in a deep voice, "Recently, we recalled our outside forces, which caused quite a stir. Now, there are probably many people eyeing Yin Kui City with covetous eyes."

Upon hearing this, Teng Sha sneered: "It's alright. Yin Kui City isn't a place just anyone can enter."

His gaze was arrogant, his tone filled with intense confidence: "As long as I can break that seal this time, I will definitely be able to quickly advance to the Nirvana Realm! At that time, let alone the Great Wilderness Prefecture, even in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, who can stand against me?"

Nirvana!

Upon hearing these three words, a fiery glint flashed in the eyes of all the Yin Puppet Sect experts.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, a Nirvana Realm expert was powerful enough to suppress everything.

If Tengcha can truly advance to the Nirvana Realm, then the Yin Kui Sect will leap to become a top power in the Great Yan Dynasty, and may even surpass the four major clans!

"Our sect leader is wise!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"It's about time, let's form the array!"

Teng Sha stopped wasting words and gave the order in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Yin Kui Sect quickly took their positions.

Hundreds of disciples stood in specific positions, forming a huge array pattern.

A dozen elders stood at the core of the formation, their hands forming hand seals, their Yuan energy surging.

"Buzz—"

The ground began to undulate, as if something was awakening underground.

The black stone platform in the square shone with a dazzling light, and the runes on it seemed to come alive, beginning to flow slowly.

"boom--!"

A powerful suction force erupted from the ground, drawing in the endless chilling air from the void.

The perpetual chill of the Xuan Yin Mountains, as if finding an outlet, surged wildly into the formation.

"Form ranks!"

Teng Sha shouted and slammed his palm against the ground.

"Boom—"

I

""

The entire mountain was shaking!

A crimson array, enveloping the entire mountain peak, shot into the sky, encompassing the entire main peak.

The surface of the great formation swirled with blood-red light, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

"What is the Yin Puppet Sect doing? Such a terrifying formation, even a Creation Realm expert would probably have to temporarily avoid its attacks, right?"

"Could it be that some powerful figure is planning to attack the Yin Puppet Sect?"

"I don't think so. This formation is clearly an offensive formation, not a defensive one."

Inside and outside Yin Kui City, countless people looked up at the crimson array soaring into the sky, whispering and speculating about the Yin Kui Sect's purpose.

On the top floor of the inn, Xiao Bai looked up at the crimson array above him and shook his head slightly: "To try to challenge a seal set up by a Dou Sheng expert with a power level of around the peak of Dou Huang is overestimating one's own strength."

He could tell at a glance that the power of this formation was roughly equivalent to the peak of the Dou Huang realm in the Dou Qi Continent.

Although it was already considered top-tier in the Great Yan Dynasty, it was still far from enough to shake the seal of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

That seal was left by the Black-Eyed Elder, who was a Reincarnation Realm expert in his lifetime, equivalent to a Battle Saint.

Even though the seal has weakened considerably over the years, it is still not something that a mere peak Dou Huang can break.

Just then, atop the mountain, Teng Sha held up an object with both hands, attracting everyone's attention.

A black hole.

The black hole slowly rose and gradually grew larger.

Soon they arrived at a place several tens of feet in size, pitch black, as if they were entering another world.

A terrifying devouring power erupted from it!

The surrounding air, energy, light, and even sound were being frantically devoured by the black hole!

"This is----"

Countless people in the city paled and retreated hastily, fearing they would be sucked into the black hole.

At this moment, the small talisman Dao Fruit in Xiao Bai's sea of ​​consciousness began to pulsate violently, seemingly eager to rush out.

"Don't worry, it's ours to begin with, we don't care about it for a short while."

Xiao Bai suppressed the Dao Fruit, lightly tapped the window frame with his fingertips, and spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong, who had infiltrated the city, was hiding in a secluded corner, staring intently at the black hole on the mountaintop.

His natal spirit talisman in his Niwan Palace was trembling violently at this moment!

"Haha—Lin Dong, we didn't make a mistake, it really is the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!"

The little ferret was so excited that it danced with joy and burst into unrestrained laughter: "As long as you can get it, you will surely become one of the strongest beings in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong took a few deep breaths to suppress the surging excitement in his heart.

He knew that Teng Sha was about to break the formation.

But he also knew that it would be no easy task to snatch food from the clutches of the Yin Kui Sect.

Moreover, there are probably quite a few eyes watching from the sidelines.

"Nine Yin Profound Demon Formation, broken!"

At the mountaintop, Tengcha let out a loud shout.

He formed hand seals, and his internal energy surged wildly into the great formation.

"Boom—!"

Blood-red clouds churned in the sky, and crimson light surged everywhere.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth roared in and was frantically devoured by the great formation.

In the center of the great formation, a blood-red pillar of light, tens of feet thick, condensed and emitted a destructive aura.

"fall!"

Tenka pointed at the black hole.

"boom--!"

The crimson beam of light, carrying terrifying power, slammed fiercely into the black vortex!

The deafening roar shook the entire mountain!

The powerful energy ripples spread out in a ring, causing rocks to crumble and trees to shatter wherever they passed.

Countless people stared intently at the center of the collision, eager to see the outcome.

However, as the light faded, a sense of horror welled up in everyone's hearts.

"The Yin Puppet Sect—what kind of treasure did they obtain? Such a terrifying array didn't even scratch them?"

They discovered that the black vortex remained completely still despite being bombarded by the crimson beam of light!

It only caused a shallow ripple on the surface, like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, which quickly returned to calm.

"What?!"

Teng Sha's expression changed, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

This Nine Yin Profound Demon Formation is the Yin Puppet Sect's protective formation, possessing immense power. Even he himself wouldn't dare to directly confront it.

But now, they can't even open a crack in the seal?

Just how powerful is this seal?

"Hmph! I refuse to believe that even with the combined power of the entire Yin Puppet Sect, we cannot break this seal!"

Sensing the restless gazes both inside and outside the city, Teng Sha's expression darkened slightly.

He knew he had to break the seal as soon as possible, or things might get complicated.

"Pure Yuan Pill, dispense!"

Teng Sha waved his hand, and countless Pure Yuan Pills flew out of his storage bag, transforming into a torrent of Pure Yuan Pills that surged into the great formation.

"A million Pure Yuan Pills, what a grand gesture—"

Countless people in the city felt the immense energy of the array above their heads, and their scalps instantly went numb.

The energy transformed from a million Pure Yuan Pills was absolutely terrifying!

Even a powerful expert at the peak of the Creation Realm doesn't possess such terrifying oppressive force.

"Nine Yin Mystic Demon Formation, Nine Yin Blood Eye!"

Teng Sha's eyes were filled with madness, and his hands formed hand seals faster and faster.

In the center of the formation, a huge blood-red eyeball condensed.

His eyes slowly opened, and within his scarlet pupils, it seemed as if a sea of ​​blood was churning.

"Break it!"

Tengcha roared furiously, pouring all his Yuan Power into the great formation.

His blood-red eyes snapped open!

A thicker and more terrifying crimson beam of light pierced the void, carrying an incomparably violent momentum, and blasted down!

"well----"

Just as the blood-red light was about to strike the vortex, a faint sigh suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

The sigh was soft, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

It seems to come from ancient times, carrying endless vicissitudes.

Then, to everyone's astonishment—

Above the vortex, a phantom figure slowly emerged.

The figure was blurry, but the eyes were exceptionally clear.

Those were a pair of—pure black eyes!

There were no whites in their eyes, no pupils, only pure black, like two black holes that could suck in one's soul.

The phantom raised its head, its black pupils, reflected in the blood-red light, as calm as two stagnant pools of water.

"Those who do not gain recognition are not destined for the talisman."

He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and aged.

After saying that, he raised his arm, extended his index finger, and gently pointed forward.

"Buzz"

The entire world seemed to lose its color in that instant!

It turned into pure black and white!

The lush trees on the mountaintop are withering at a visible rate, their leaves turning yellow and their branches cracking.

The members of the Yin Kui Sect were horrified to discover that their hair was beginning to turn white!

The life force within my body is draining away at an alarming rate!

It was as if an invisible hand was draining their life force!

"Deathly Qi—"

Xiao Bai seemed to be deep in thought when he saw this scene.

The old man with black eyes' finger contained the death aura that only a powerful expert in the Death Profound Realm possessed.

"Retreat immediately!!"

At the mountaintop plaza, countless members of the Yin Kui Sect were filled with fear and retreated in droves.

Especially the very old elders, who already have little time left, are most afraid of losing their life force.

In an instant, the once orderly formation was thrown into chaos.

"Now!"

Lin Dong, hidden in the shadows, had a glint in his eyes.

He knew this was the best opportunity!

The Yin Kui Sect was thrown into chaos, and Teng Sha and the others were too busy to help themselves, which was the perfect opportunity to seize the Ancestral Symbol!

"Little Mink, let's make our move!"

Lin Dong let out a low shout and was about to rush out.

"Wait a minute, that's the death aura only a Death Profound Realm expert possesses, we—"

The little ferret's voice stopped abruptly, as if it had seen something incredible.

He stared wide-eyed, intently at the mountaintop.

Lin Dong noticed his unusual behavior, looked up, and was immediately dumbfounded. He stammered, "That, that's—Senior?!"

At this moment, on the black stone plaza atop the mountain, the Yin Kui Sect members were frantically trying to escape the black vortex, fearing they would be affected by the death energy.

Only one figure in black robes went against the current, stepping on the void, and slowly walked towards the Ancestral Symbol.

This scene has clearly attracted the attention of many people.

"It's him again?!"

Mu Qianqian stared at Xiao Bai's figure, surprised. Why did this jinx come here?

"Hey... Dad, don't go..."

"7

While she was lost in thought, she noticed that her father, Mu Lei, had vanished in a flash.

Clearly, they are very interested in the treasures of the Yin Puppet Sect.

She grabbed at empty air, her face immediately changed, and she stomped her foot angrily, grumbling inwardly:

This arrogant and ignorant father!

The boy was clearly after the treasure, yet he still dared to try and steal it?

They had absolutely no idea how terrifying that guy was!

They broke the seal of the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele ahead of time, threatening the four major clans, and killing members of the Wang family was as easy as killing chickens.

Which of these things is something this old man can do, or dares to do?

"Little Mink, what do we do?"

Lin Dong looked dejected.

If it weren't for Xiao Bai, he wouldn't be afraid to snatch food from the jaws of the three major powers.

With Xiao Diao's help and numerous trump cards, he might still have a chance.

But faced with that unfathomable senior, he felt only a profound sense of powerlessness.

"Cold salad!"

The little sable rolled its eyes, its earlier excitement long gone. It weakly waved its paw and said, "Who would have thought that person would also set their sights on the Ancestral Symbol?"

"Now, all we can do is watch the show."

Lin Dong smiled wryly; there was nothing he could do.

"roar!"

The Crimson Tiger, seemingly sensing the two's dejected mood, stood up and let out a low howl towards the mountaintop.

"Hehe—what a loyal little tiger cub."

A soft laugh suddenly rang in the ears of the three brothers.

The voice was very faint, as if it were whispering in your ear.

"Stupid tiger, shut up!"

The little sable's expression changed drastically. It slapped the Crimson Flame Tiger on the head with its paw and growled angrily in a low voice, "With your hundred-odd pounds, Senior could slap you so hard you wouldn't even leave a trace!"

The Crimson Tiger shrank its neck and trembled all over.

"senior----"

Lin Dong's expression changed slightly. He immediately stood in front of the Crimson Flame Tiger and respectfully cupped his hands towards the mountaintop.

"I have failed to properly discipline my junior, please forgive me, senior."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little uneasy.

"It's alright, I'm not going to bother with a little guy who's just started to develop intelligence."

Hearing this, Lin Dong and Xiao Diao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They exchanged a glance and decided that they would have to talk to Xiao Yan properly in the future, and that he couldn't be so reckless anymore.

And at this moment, atop the mountain.

Xiao Bai had already arrived in front of the black vortex, surrounded by deathly aura, but he didn't care at all.

This scene caused the black-eyed phantom to glance at it slightly.

His pure black eyes gazed intently at Xiao Bai, as if trying to see right through him.

But Xiao Bai ignored it, letting the light fall into the center of the black vortex.

There, a palm-sized black talisman could be faintly seen, slowly rotating.

The surface of the talisman was covered with mysterious runes, radiating a terrifying devouring power.

"I've finally met you—"

A burning desire flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.

Teng Sha frowned when he saw Xiao Bai approaching the black vortex, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

In his eyes, Xiao Bai was just a teenager in the Creation Realm.

The fact that they could remain unharmed amidst the gray and white atmosphere was simply due to their youth and ignorance of the dangers of death.

The realm of shaping is utterly insignificant compared to the realm of creation.

What he was more concerned about at the moment was the two people who had appeared in the sky above Yin Kui City at some unknown time.

"Mu Lei, Wu Zong, do you really intend to become enemies with my Yin Kui Sect?"

Teng Sha's face darkened. He withdrew his gaze from Xiao Bai and stared intently at the two of them.

Mu Lei, the leader of the Great Demon Sect.

Wu Zong, leader of the Martial Alliance.

These two factions, along with his Yin Kui Sect, are known as the three top forces in the Great Wilderness Prefecture.

Their arrival today, coming together, clearly indicates that they have joined forces.

"Haha—Teng Sha, I never expected your Yin Kui Sect to possess such a treasure!"

Mu Lei laughed loudly, his eyes greedily fixed on the black vortex: "I say, you're being too stingy. Such a precious treasure, if we were to offer you some advice, it would be better than you making a mess of things like this!"

"Arrogant!"

Teng Sha laughed in anger, his eyes growing even more sinister.

The three of them were instantly on the verge of exchanging blows, their auras clashing, and the air seemed to freeze.

They only had eyes for each other, completely ignoring the boy in front of the whirlpool.

It's just a shaping realm cultivator, how could it possibly take anything away from the three of them?

Xiao Bai also treated them as if they were nothing.

He calmly gazed at the black vortex before him, carefully sensing the sealing aura emanating from it.

"Only at the peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun level, huh? —"

He murmured to himself.

The seal left by the old man with black eyes has been weakened by tens of thousands of years.

He fell from his original Dou Sheng level to the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun level.

Such a seal is an unshakeable force for Teng Sha and the others.

But for him—

Gazing at the center of the vortex, the illusory image of the small talisman Dao Fruit flashed by in Xiao Bai's eyes.

An invisible force pressed precisely towards the center of the vortex.

The aura was very faint, almost imperceptible.

"Snap—"

A crisp sound rang out, particularly jarring on the silent mountaintop.

It was as if glass had shattered, or as if shackles had broken.

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Teng Sha, Mu Lei, and Wu Zong all turned their heads at the same time, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Then, they saw a scene that left them stunned—

The seal that Tengcha had previously tried every means to break through was now—

It cracked!

A fine crack spread out from the center of the vortex, expanding like a spider web.

Then came the second and third rounds—

"Click, click, click—"

The cracks are becoming more numerous and denser.

The final "BOOM—!!!"

The entire black vortex exploded with a deafening roar, and the black pupil phantom vanished.

Endless black light erupted from it, and an extremely terrifying devouring power swept across the heavens and earth!

"The seal—it's broken?!"
