Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

The methods of the Ancient Clan were no less than those of the Soul Clan. More importantly, Xun'er's strength was even above that of Soul Jade. At this moment, Soul Jade couldn't help but feel a pang of regret: if he hadn't chosen to intercept Gu Xun'er, would he have been able to avoid such a difficult fight?

Despite his thoughts, Soul Jade knew exactly what he should do now that he was firmly locked onto by a Heavenly Rank Battle Technique.

Holding the blades in both hands, he continued to pour his soul power into the blood-red blades. Now that he had used his trump card, he naturally couldn't waste it.

He bit his tongue sharply, and without hesitation, spat a mouthful of pure blood onto the Blood-Drinking Soul Blade in his hand.

hum-

The dark red soul blade trembled, emitting a piercing buzz. All the soul power of the Soul Jade was poured into it without reservation. On the blood-red blade, the eerie light surged, and an even more powerful soul fluctuation appeared.

"Blood Sacrifice, Evil Soul Slash"

Hun Yu gripped the Soul Blade tightly with both hands, abandoning all fancy techniques, and slashed upwards with a single horizontal strike.

Heavenly-rank Soul Skill versus Heavenly-rank Combat Skill!

The two energies clashed fiercely at the core of the skill, wave after wave of energy constantly emanating from this core and spreading outwards. A deafening roar echoed through the sky, but fortunately, this was the Heavenly Tomb space, with no outsiders present, so there was no extra impact.

Heavenly-rank fighting techniques are inherently extremely powerful skills. Even Dou Zun cannot unleash the full power of a Heavenly-rank fighting technique. However, those present are all Half-Saints, and they all come from the descendants of several Dou Di. This clash demonstrates the true commotion these geniuses are capable of creating.

The ground trembled, but fortunately, the space itself was constructed by an extremely powerful entity, so the space itself was not shaken.

The crimson blade of light stubbornly resisted the downward-pressing, gigantic finger of annihilation. The vengeful spirits within the blade of light lashed out, desperately trying to destroy the giant finger. The gigantic finger of annihilation, however, steadily continued its downward press, its pure annihilating energy obliterating the blade of light that blocked its path inch by inch.

"Hold on! You must hold on!" Hunyu was also pale at this moment, and he needed time to recover after such a huge exertion.

Xun'er hovered in mid-air, her black hair moving without wind, her gaze fixed on the Soul Jade struggling to hold on below. She pressed her red lips together tightly, and with a sudden downward thrust of her jade hand!

"Suppress and kill!"

The Great Annihilation Finger in mid-air suddenly shone brightly with Xun'er's low shout, then shattered the Soul Jade's slash into pieces and continued to envelop the Soul Jade. Xun'er's attack this time was all-out, aiming to kill the Soul Jade first and relieve the pressure on her side.

"How is that possible?!"

Because of his repeated attacks and the losses he had suffered at Xun'er's hands, Hunyu's remaining strength was insufficient to support him in unleashing other techniques in the face of this powerful attack coming from the sky.

Just as Hunyu felt himself being shrouded in the shadow of death and wanted to self-destruct to save his life, a figure appeared behind Hunyu without warning, like a ghost. It was Huoxuan, who had been fighting fiercely with Huozhi earlier.

"Young Master Hunyu, you really look quite disheveled."

Then Huo Xuan thrust out his right hand, and a pale black flame suddenly erupted. The power of destruction swirled upwards, directly shattering the finger that was descending from mid-air.

Xun'er looked and saw that her attack had indeed been weakened several times by the Soul Jade, and was now less than half of its original power. However, Huo Xuan's resistance seemed too relaxed. Clearly, the battle with Huo Zhi had not put any pressure on him at all, which was why he was able to save the Soul Jade at such a critical moment.

Huo Xuan withdrew his hand, and the wisp of annihilating black flame disappeared with it. He stood with his hands behind his back, and a vast and abyss-like battle aura erupted from his body. This battle aura swept across the entire battlefield, and even the turbulent energy currents in the sky seemed to pause for a moment.

A Dou Sheng! The genuine pressure of a Dou Sheng!

"What?"

"Battle Saint!"

"So Huo Xuan has indeed reached this level. It's a pity he's just an imposter." Lei Dong remained calmly watching everything with his arms crossed. Seeing Huo Xuan now unleashing his full power, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

On the other side, Huo Zhi, with blood on the corner of her mouth, came to Xun'er's side and said to her with some remorse, "I'm sorry... I couldn't stop him."

Although Xun'er felt a little regretful, she did not blame Huo Zhi, because Huo Zhi had already been in great danger when he fought Huo Xuan.

At the early stage of the Half-Saint realm, facing a genuine One-Star Dou Sheng, the opponent also firmly restrained Huo Zhi in the Strange Fire domain, which was Huo Zhi's forte. Defeat was inevitable.

The only saving grace was that Huo Zhi, being from the Yan Clan like Huo Xuan, was familiar with his methods and was able to find opportunities to avoid real danger to their lives.

Huo Xuan scanned the surroundings and saw that not only was Hun Yu in mortal danger at Xun'er's hands, but Hun Ya and Ling Fengzhui were also at a disadvantage. If the battle continued like this, their defeat was inevitable.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult right from the start, so there's no point in me hiding my strength anymore."

Huo Xuan slowly raised his right palm, his five fingers spread, aiming at Xun'er and Huo Zhi. With his movement, the energy of the entire Heavenly Tomb space seemed to be drawn in, frantically converging towards his palm.

A profound black energy vortex rapidly spun and formed in his palm, expanding at a visible speed. Pale black Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames coiled around his hand, their destructive power surging ever higher.

Huo Xuan's power was so great that, even before it had fully materialized, it caused space to distort violently.

"Try this!"

"Mid-level Heavenly Rank, Blazing Sun Divine Light Palm!"

The moment the words fell, a black sun, purely formed from the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames, was born in Huo Xuan's palm.

This black sun had no blinding light, only the deepest darkness and the most terrifying destructive properties! It hovered silently, and the battle aura that swept around it was annihilated and disappeared without a sound!

A destructive energy, powerful enough to incinerate mountains, boil seas, and shatter stars, was brewing to its fullest potential in Huo Xuan's hands.

The next moment, Huo Xuan gently pushed his palm forward.

The black flames rushed towards Huo Zhi and Xun'er. Huo Zhi and Xun'er did not charge up their fire-wielding techniques; their fighting skills had already taken shape.

At the same time, two other figures appeared beside them: Xiao Yan and Lei Jingxiao, who had already escaped their own battle. Now that Huo Xuan, a one-star Dou Sheng, had appeared, the outcome of their battle was no longer important; they had to ensure the safety of their own people first.

Xiao Yan's telepathic message rang in the ears of the three once more: "Go all out, target Huo Xuan!"
