Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 538 Lin Dong: This is... the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger?!

The world was completely silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the mountaintop, at the exploding black vortex, and at the endless black light bursting forth from it.

That seemingly indestructible seal was thus—

It's broken?

Teng Sha stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

He exhausted the entire power of the Yin Puppet Sect, even using a million Pure Yuan Pills to unleash the strongest attack of the Nine Yin Profound Demon Formation, yet the seal remained unshaken.

This young man from the Creation Realm was actually...

He just casually broke it open?

Mu Lei and Wu Zong were also stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They had seen it clearly just now: the boy simply stood there, without even using his Yuan power, and only glanced at the seal.

Then, the seal shattered.

This is simply beyond their comprehension!

"What's that in his hand?"

After the light from the explosion of the black vortex dissipated, everyone finally saw clearly—

A black talisman, about the size of a palm, was quietly floating an inch above the boy's palm.

The talisman was entirely black, its surface covered with mysterious runes, each rune seemingly containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, emanating a chilling aura.

The most terrifying thing is that the space around the talisman is distorted!

Air, elemental energy, light, and even sound are being devoured by it!

Centered on the talisman, a visible black vortex forms, resembling a miniature black hole, threatening to suck everything in.

"What... what kind of treasure is this?!"

A glint of light flashed in Mu Lei's eyes.

Although he didn't know what it was, just by looking at its all-consuming aura, he knew it was definitely a supreme treasure!

Emperor Wuzong's eyes were equally fervent.

If he could obtain such a treasure, his strength would surely increase dramatically, and even advancing to the Nirvana Realm in the future would not be a problem.

"Haha—boy, thank you for breaking the seal for our sect!"

Teng Sha was the first to react. Suppressing his shock, his eyes blazed with intense fervor.

He stared intently at the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in Xiao Bai's hand, as if it were already his.

"As a token of my gratitude, from this day forward, you are the Vice Sect Master of my Yin Puppet Sect!"

Teng Sha laughed loudly, his tone carrying an undeniable domineering air.

It was as if Xiao Bai becoming the vice sect leader of the Yin Kui Sect was an immense blessing.

"Shameless!"

Mu Lei and Wu Zong cursed under their breath.

That nimble move was quite a clever scheme.

This young man was able to break such a powerful seal with his cultivation at the Creation Realm level; he must possess a great secret.

If we recruit him into our sect, we can not only obtain the precious talisman, but also uncover the young man's secrets. It's a win-win situation!

"Young man, don't believe that old scoundrel!"

Mu Lei quickly spoke up, a smile plastered on his face: "Our Great Demonic Sect has always been eager to recruit talented individuals, especially a young prodigy like you. If you're willing, I, the sect leader, will not only offer you the position of vice sect leader, but also betroth my daughter to you!"

He paused, then his smile widened: "By the way, my daughter is stunningly beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the entire Great Wilderness Prefecture!"

Hearing her father's words from a distance, Mu Qianqian was completely stunned.

She never imagined that her father would actually—actually—sell her off in order to win over that young man?!

However, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the young man's handsome face, his extraordinary demeanor, and his heroic figure from the ancient monument in the Great Wilderness—

It seems—it's not entirely impossible?

Thinking of this, Mu Qianqian's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart pounded.

Meanwhile, the martial arts master standing next to Mu Lei was frustrated.

Good heavens, these people really have no shame!

Especially Murray, who would even sell his daughter for treasures and secrets!

After much thought, he couldn't come up with a more attractive offer.

After all, he didn't have a daughter of marriageable age.

After a moment's hesitation, Wu Zong could only say calmly, "If you join the Martial Alliance, you will be the Vice Alliance Leader!"

Although it's not as tempting as the previous two offers, it's still quite sincere.

After all, the position of vice leader is second only to one person in the Martial Alliance.

This scene left countless people inside and outside Yin Kui City speechless and stunned.

The leaders of the three major forces actually offered such tempting conditions in order to win over that young man!

Deputy Sect Master, Deputy Sect Leader, Deputy Alliance Leader —

There were even betrothed daughters!

This treatment is simply outrageous!

You must know that these three major powers are the overlords of the Great Wilderness Prefecture. If they stomp their feet, the entire Great Wilderness Prefecture will tremble.

Ordinary people who want to join must go through layers of assessments.

Let alone becoming the deputy leader!

But now, the three leaders are vying to win them over, offering increasingly tempting terms.

However, Xiao Bai's reaction to the three major powers vying to recruit him was unexpected by everyone.

He seemed not to hear the three people's words at all, his gaze fixed on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in his hand.

His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was pondering something.

Xiao Bai had just explored the interior of the Ancestral Symbol and found that things were more complicated than expected.

Within the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, there exists the spirit of the Ancestral Symbol.

Although it is not highly intelligent, it is the bridge for the ancestral symbol to communicate with the origin of heaven and earth.

It is precisely because of the existence of the spirit talisman that the ancestral talisman can display its powerful might, as if it were wielding the power of heaven and earth.

But now a problem arises—

The spirit of the talisman and the embryo of the plane share the same origin. If it encounters a Dao fruit and senses the aura of another world, it will fight to the death and will not submit.

In that situation, Xiao Bai's only option was to eliminate the spirit.

However, if it is erased, the connection between the ancestral symbol and the origin of heaven and earth will be severed.

Therefore, his plan to use the ancestral symbol to store the Dao Fruit in the origin space of the plane would be impossible to realize.

This put him in a rather difficult position.

As he pondered a solution, he kept hearing a series of incoherent chatter.

"You guys are too noisy."

Xiao Bai finally raised his head, shifting his gaze from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to Teng Sha, Mu Lei, and Wu Zong, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Can you shut up?!"

His voice was calm, without anger or murderous intent.

But for some reason, the three of them suddenly felt their heartbeats stop, as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats.

Teng Sha's smile froze.

The enthusiasm on Murray's face froze.

The expectation in Wu Zong's eyes vanished.

At this moment, the entire Yin Kui City was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the mountaintop.

No one thought of it.

Faced with the fierce competition from the three major powers, they offered such tempting terms.

The boy was neither overjoyed nor moved to tears.

Instead, they complained that they were too noisy and told them to—

Shut up?!

"Good, good, very good—"

When Tengcha thought of the illusion he had just experienced, he felt ashamed, and the anger in his chest seemed to be ignited instantly.

As the dignified sect leader of the Yin Kui Sect, who dares to rebuke him like that?

Today, he was actually publicly reprimanded by a junior in the Shaping Realm and told to shut up?!

This is an absolute disgrace!

"Boy, you think I'm being too polite?"

Teng Sha's face was ashen, his eyes blazing with murderous intent: "Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He originally wanted Xiao Bai to join the Yin Kui Sect and slowly extract the secret to breaking the seal.

But now, he has changed his mind.

"All members of the Yin Puppet Sect, heed my command!"

Teng Sha shouted fiercely, his voice echoing through the night sky: "Kill him and bring back our sect's treasures!"

"yes!!"

As Teng Sha's shout, brimming with killing intent, resounded throughout the heavens and earth, many powerful figures from the Yin Kui Sect echoed in unison.

A chilling, murderous aura, mixed with howling winds, sent shivers down the spines of countless people.

Hundreds of Yin Kui Sect disciples and more than a dozen elders simultaneously unleashed their Yuan Power, surrounding Xiao Bai completely.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the mountaintop plaza was tense and fraught with danger.

The tengcha did not move.

After giving the order, he stared intently at Mu Lei and Wu Zong.

Although he wanted to kill that arrogant brat with his own hands, he was more worried that Mu Lei and Wu Zong would take the opportunity to seize the treasure.

However, Mu Lei and Wu Zong didn't care at all. They were both at the Lesser Completion of the Creation Realm. Why would the two of them be afraid of one person?

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly meeting in unison.

"Father, stop!" This is the perfect opportunity to seize the treasure and the people.

Just as Mu Lei was about to make a move, Mu Qianqian suddenly rushed out and blocked his way, her face full of anxiety and horror.

"Qianqian, what are you doing?"

Mu Lei frowned, somewhat displeased.

"Father, you mustn't intervene!"

Looking into Xiao Bai's increasingly deep eyes, Mu Qianqian seemed to see the scene before the Creation Martial Stele that day. Her voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear: "You—you don't know how ruthless he is!"

Mu Lei was taken aback. Knowing her daughter as she did, she had never seen her so afraid of anyone before. Her gaze involuntarily turned to the boy on the mountaintop.

He stood there silently, holding the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in one hand, his face calm, his eyes like an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

It was as if the person surrounded by hundreds of Yin Kui Sect experts was not him, but someone else.

"Father, believe me!"

Mu Qianqian gripped Mu Lei's arm tightly, her eyes pleading, "Don't do it, please don't!"

Seeing the fear in his daughter's eyes, Mu Lei's heart softened.

Well then, let's see how things go first.

Anyway, with the Yin Puppet Sect testing them ahead, they won't lose out.

Just then—

"Buzz—"

A strange sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding light shone in the darkness!

The light was golden and sacred, like the first rays of dawn.

Mu Qianqian turned around and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Lotus, lotus flower————"

On the mountaintop plaza, countless golden lotuses bloomed out of thin air, centered around Xiao Bai!

One, two, three —

Those lotus flowers were so lifelike, with layers upon layers of petals, each one sparkling with lightning, just like that day.

They seemed to grow out of the void, slowly rotating around Xiao Bai.

"What... what kind of martial art is this?!"

Countless people stared in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.

They had never seen such beautiful martial arts.

The lotus flowers shone brightly, illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime.

It is beautiful and magnificent, like a fairyland.

"Tsk tsk————"

At the foot of the mountain, Little Marten stood on Lin Dong's shoulder with his arms crossed, gazing at the summit with a look of schadenfreude in his eyes.

"One flower was enough to wipe out more than twenty members of the Wang family. I wonder how many members of the Yin Puppet Sect will be left tonight?"

At this moment, the entire Yin Kui City was bathed in a hazy golden light reflected by the lotus flowers, making it appear incredibly sacred.

"Leftover? Little Mink, how much do you look down on your seniors?"

Lin Dong shrugged, feeling relaxed all over.

Anyway, the Yin Kui Sect is no good, and they have a grudge against him, so they have issued a warrant for his arrest.

Even if the seniors go easy on him later, he will still "help out" and make sure no one is left alive.

"Haha—is this kid putting on a show for us?"

At the mountaintop, the members of the Yin Kui Sect also came to their senses.

Looking at the blooming golden lotuses around them, they were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I must say, these lotus flowers are indeed quite beautiful."

"Fancy and frivolous! Cao Zhen, go and take him down."

Elder Zuo of the Yin Kui Sect glanced at him and then gave an order to a red-haired middle-aged man behind him.

Cao Zhen, an elder of the Yin Kui Sect, possesses a cultivation level of half-step Creation Realm and formidable strength, ranking among the top ten in the Yin Kui Sect.

"Elder Zuo, this kid is only at the Creation Realm. It's not up to Brother Cao, a half-step Creation Realm cultivator, to make a move. I can handle it!"

A Qi Creation Realm cultivator stepped forward, looking at Xiao Bai with a mocking gaze.

In his view, he was more than capable of dealing with a mere child in the Shaping Realm.

"Let Cao Zhen come."

Elder Zuo shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The sect leader said to capture him alive. He wants to know how this boy broke the seal."

The implication was that they not only wanted to capture Xiao Bai, but also ensure his survival.

Only in this way can you force them to reveal the secret.

"Hehe—Sect Master, don't worry, I, Old Cao, will definitely guarantee that this kid is alive."

Cao Zhen grinned maliciously and strode towards Xiao Bai.

"But whether it's complete or not is unknown."

A cruel glint flashed in his eyes.

Capturing someone alive doesn't mean you can't torture them.

As long as you're alive, the mission is complete.

As for missing limbs—that's none of his business.

Cao Zhen had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.

He saw a golden lotus flower swaying gently in front of him.

A petal falls from the lotus and drifts slowly down.

The petals are crystal clear, with faint electric arcs swirling around them, refracting a dazzling brilliance in the golden light.

"Ha, kid, you think you can stop me with this petal?"

Cao Zhen's sneer deepened, his eyes filled with disdain.

He didn't believe that a tiny flower petal could have any power, and continued walking forward.

However, just as the petal fell, level with his brow, "whoosh!"

A flash of golden light!

The petals instantly transformed into a golden lightning longsword, its blade crackling with lightning and radiating a sharp sword aura!

That speed was as fast as lightning!

Cao Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he tried to dodge, but it was too late.

"puff!"

A soft sound.

The golden lightning sword pierced through his brow, leaving a trail of blood.

Cao Zhen's sinister smile suddenly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that a seemingly delicate flower petal could possess such terrifying power!

Even more unexpectedly, he, a powerful expert at the half-step Creation Realm, couldn't even withstand a single flower petal!

"Thump—"

Cao Zhen's body lay stiffly on the ground, a bloody hole between his eyebrows from which blood gushed.

His eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.

The entire hilltop plaza was deathly silent.

""

The mocking and cruel smiles on the faces of the Yin Kui Sect members slowly froze.

They instinctively rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

They saw what just happened clearly.

The petal transformed into a lightning sword the moment Cao Zhen approached, instantly piercing his forehead.

The whole process was so fast that it took no time to react.

Cao Zhen died before he could even scream.

"Cao...Cao Zhen—is dead?!"

Someone muttered to themselves, their voice filled with disbelief.

That's Cao Zhen!

A half-step Creation Realm expert!

He was actually defeated in an instant by a single flower petal?!

How is this possible?!

"A single thought—and a flower blooms."

In the dead silence, a calm murmur suddenly rang out.

That was Xiao Bai's voice.

It's very light and faint.

But to everyone's ears at that moment, it sounded like a thunderclap!

As he finished speaking, a "buzz!" rang out.

At this moment, all the golden lotuses bloomed simultaneously!

But beneath this beauty lies a deadly danger!

"Oh no! This guy isn't even at the Creation Realm!!"

Elder Zuo's expression changed drastically, and fear finally appeared in his eyes.

A single petal could instantly kill Cao Zhen, who was at the half-step Creation Realm.

So many petals—

"Reload now!!"

He roared and turned to run away.

However, it was too late.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

Countless golden lightning swords burst forth from the sky, transforming into streaks of golden light that instantly enveloped the entire mountaintop plaza!

"Puff puff puff————"

The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out one after another, accompanied by piercing screams.

Disciples and elders of the Yin Kui Sect, regardless of their cultivation level or status.

Before the golden lightning sword, they were all as fragile as paper, utterly vulnerable.

A realm of form?

A single sword strike pierces through!

A Qi-creating realm?

The same sword strike!

The Realm of Creation?

Still, one sword strike!

Those golden lightning swords seemed to have eyes, precisely piercing the foreheads of every member of the Yin Puppet Sect.

No matter how they tried to evade or resist, it was all in vain.

In an instant, the mountaintop plaza was awash in blood, with corpses strewn everywhere.

Screams rose and fell, but quickly subsided.

Because dead people don't make noise.

"How dare you!!"

Seeing the square instantly littered with corpses and rivers of blood, Tengcha finally came to his senses, his eyes widening in fury.

Everything just happened too fast.

From the moment Cao Zhen fell, the elders and disciples of the Yin Kui Sect fell like wheat being harvested beneath the flower petals.

This caught him completely off guard.

By the time he realized what was happening, more than half of the Yin Kui Sect members were already dead!

"You little beast, prepare to die!!"

Tengcha's roar echoed through the night sky, and a surge of immense Yuan energy churned around his body.

He formed hand seals, and his Yuan energy gathered wildly.

"The Great Wilderness Sea-Dividing Seal!"

A light seal, hundreds of feet in size, condensed and emerged. Its surface was turbulent, and the sound of ocean waves could be faintly heard.

Once printed, it can divide rivers and seas, its power is boundless!

"I had completely forgotten about you."

Xiao Bai slightly raised his eyelids, his pupils like deep pools.

He raised his arm, pointed his index finger forward, and gently tapped it.

In an instant, a gigantic finger traversed the void, pressing down upon Tengcha!

The finger was entirely black, its surface covered with mysterious runes.

Black lightning crackled on it, emanating a terrifying aura that suppressed everything.

Compared to Tengsha's hundred-zhang light seal, this finger is much larger and more terrifying!

It was hundreds of feet long, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, descending from the heavens!

"This is—the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger?!"

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Dong stared at the finger, his eyes filled with shock.

His Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, when unleashed, is only a few dozen feet in size. Although its power is considerable, it is definitely not up to this level.

This finger was not only ten times the size of his, but its lines were also clearer, and it was even surrounded by lightning.

The two are worlds apart; if placed side by side, his would be considered shabby.

"boom--!!"

The jet-black fingers collided with the hundred-foot-long light seal.

There was no stalemate, no standoff.

Only—crushing!

"Snap!"

A crack appeared on the surface of the light-printed image.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire light imprint in the blink of an eye.

"BOOM!!"

The light seal exploded with a roar, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into nothingness.

The pitch-black fingers, undeterred, continued their downward pressure on Teng Sha!

"No-!!"

Teng Sha finally realized that the palpitations he had felt earlier were not an illusion.

His pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with terror.

He wanted to escape, but his body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as that dark finger grew larger and closer in his eyes—

"puff!"

A muffled thud.

There was no penetration, and no explosion.

But Tengsha's body turned to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye, the Tenka vanished completely, leaving not a trace behind.

It's as if it never existed.

The entire Yin Kui City fell into an eerie silence.

Before they could even be shocked, Tengcha had not achieved minor success in his cultivation, but major success.

Everyone stared at the boy on the mountaintop, dumbfounded and horrified.

Teng Sha—is he dead?

The sect leader of the Yin Kui Sect, a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm, and one of the overlords of the Great Wilderness Prefecture.

He actually killed him with a single finger strike?!

This completely overturned their understanding!

"Plop—"

Mu Lei swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He was overjoyed.

Thankfully, thankfully his daughter stopped him just now.

Otherwise, he would probably be the one turned to ashes now!

He hadn't expected that Tengcha was actually at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm.

Even more unexpectedly, even at the peak of his cultivation, he was still crushed and killed by that young man with a single finger.

He, however, had only achieved minor success in his cultivation. If it weren't for his daughter's intervention, his fate would likely have been even worse than Teng Sha's!

Emperor Wuzong's face also turned pale as he rapidly pondered the situation.

Did I offend that boy just now?

After thinking for a long time, it seems there isn't one.

Aside from the fact that the terms offered weren't as tempting as Murray's, it seems like there's nothing else... right?

Even if you had the idea before, you didn't put it into action, did you?

But this still made him somewhat uneasy.

Seeing her father's lingering fear, Mu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness we stopped them in time.

Otherwise, the Great Demonic Sect might follow in the footsteps of the Yin Puppet Sect.

Soon, the screams that had been echoing across the mountaintop gradually disappeared.

Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood stained the bluestone slabs red.

The air was thick with the nauseating stench of blood.

But at this moment, no one made a sound.

Everyone held their breath, afraid of attracting the boy's attention.

They know.

The Yin Puppet Sect—it's finished!

From this day forward, the Yin Puppet Sect will cease to exist in the Great Wilderness Prefecture!

Xiao Bai glanced at the entire Yin Kui Sect; those who had shown killing intent earlier had all been dealt with.

He then stopped, and the golden lotus flowers around him slowly dissipated.

It was as if it had never existed.

If it weren't for the corpses and blood scattered all over the ground, everyone would almost think that everything just now was an illusion.

Xiao Bai looked towards the foot of the mountain.

At that moment, he was the center of everyone's attention.

Countless eyes followed his gaze and turned to look.

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Dong felt a sudden thought, sensing that the senior was calling him.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and respectfully cupped his hands: "What are your instructions, senior?"

Xiao Bai looked at him and said calmly, "I'm going to go into seclusion here for a while. You come and clean this place up."

His words startled everyone.

This is like a windfall!

Not only can you establish a connection with the person at the top of the mountain, but you might also gain a lot of good things.

Lin Dong's eyes lit up with joy as well.

He knew, of course, that this was an opportunity.

An opportunity to build a closer relationship with a senior colleague.

"Don't worry, senior, leave this to me!"

Lin Dong agreed without hesitation.

"very good."

Seeing his decisiveness, Xiao Bai nodded, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

He then said, "There is a spirit puppet in the back mountain. If you can subdue it, it will be yours."

These words caused an uproar throughout the city!

A spirit puppet?!

That's something beyond even a high-level puppet!

Below the Nirvana Realm, no one can rival him!

Such a treasure, if placed in the Great Yan Dynasty, would be enough to cause a frenzy of competition among all forces.

And now, this senior has casually given it away?

Simply because—

Let him clean up the mess?!

This is way too generous!

Countless people looked at Lin Dong with such fervor that they wished they could take his place.

Even Mu Lei and Wu Zong showed envy in their eyes. They didn't expect that Teng Sha would have such a good thing!

However, they dared not have any other ideas.

The corpse of the Tenka —

Oh no, Teng Sha didn't even leave behind a corpse, only a handful of ashes.

It's still warm!

"Thank you so much, senior!!"

Lin Dong's eyes lit up, and he felt excited.

Spirit Puppet!

With this, he has another trump card up his sleeve!

Even against a master of the Creation Realm, they would have the strength to fight!

"Sir/Madam!"

Just then, Mu Qianqian suddenly spoke.

Seeing Xiao Bai about to leave, she quickly bowed and cupped her hands, saying, "Young Master Lin must be too busy to handle everything alone. Our Great Demonic Sect is willing to help you!"

She said this both to help and to take this opportunity to erase the negative impact her father had caused.

"You are quite clever."

Xiao Bai gave her a deep look before slowly nodding, "Granted."

He paused, his voice turning cold: "Well done. I will forgive and forget what happened today. But if you are outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant—"

His gaze swept over Mu Lei and Wu Zong, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "After I emerge from seclusion, I wouldn't mind making a trip to your sect."

Mu Lei and Wu Zong felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat trickled down their foreheads.

They hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Rest assured, senior, we will certainly obey Young Master Lin!"

Just kidding, this guy is capable of instantly killing someone at the peak of the Creation Realm!

Should we "take a trip" to their sect?

That would probably be more than just a simple trip.

If things go wrong, the entire sect might be wiped out!

Xiao Bai nodded slightly and said no more.

He turned around and walked deeper into the Yin Kui Sect.
