Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 124 Xiao Kong

Xiao Li only had these two Spirit Fusion Pills on him because he had never suffered any soul injuries, and the medicinal herbs for restoring the soul were scarce. So, Xiao Li only had two Spirit Fusion Pills on him at the moment.

However, after the two Spirit Fusion Pills were integrated into that illusory soul, Xiao Li could feel that the speed at which the soul was disappearing was being stopped, which meant that the soul would awaken soon.

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. At least from the appearance and the perception of the soul, this soul body was Elder Xiao Kong, the last elder of the Xiao clan.

"We still need strength. The Xiao clan was so powerful back then, yet it declined so rapidly. The Xiao family really can't withstand too much turmoil now."

Xiao Li closed his eyes, began to hold the energy crystals in his hands, and started to circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the energy from the crystals.

Time passed slowly,

After everyone had finished digesting and absorbing the energy crystals, Xiao Li's cultivation level reached the five-star Dou Zong level. By entering the Gate of Life and Death, he had improved from the one-star Dou Zong to the five-star Dou Zong level. Pei Yuhan improved from the seven-star Dou Zong level to the nine-star Dou Zong level, and Pei Yurou improved from the five-star Dou Zong level to the eight-star Dou Zong level.

Yun Yun's feat was even more outrageous. She received Yun Potian's inheritance and was directly promoted from an eight-star Dou Huang to a two-star Dou Zun. At this time, she was still consolidating her cultivation. Since she had just broken through to Dou Zun, she had not yet mastered her power. She planned to consolidate her cultivation for a few years before making another breakthrough.

Zi Yan, on the other hand, hasn't changed at all. She spends her days either sleeping or taking pills. This place is too boring for her; Canaan Academy is much more interesting.

"Alright, let's move on."

Boom—

A loud explosion interrupted Xiao Li's words, and everyone felt the earth tremble!

"What's that noise!"

Xiao Li looked into the distance and saw a dense energy hurricane howling in from the horizon. In the end, it actually formed an extremely terrifying chain reaction, causing a huge energy storm to quickly take shape in this world!

"This is a life-or-death storm in the secret realm! Run! Run southwest!"

An aged voice rang out, causing Xiao Li to shudder.

"Who is it! Who is speaking!" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise. Everyone around him looked at Xiao Li, wondering why he was making such a fuss.

Xiao Li felt like he was hallucinating, but the voice had definitely appeared. Then, Xiao Li thought of something and glanced at the dark blue storage ring on his hand.

"Everyone run southwest! A storm is coming!"

At Xiao Li's command, he immediately grabbed Zi Yan and ran southwest. Yun Yun, Pei Yu Han, and Pei Yu Rou also immediately followed Xiao Li.

. . . . . .

The desolate, lifeless land was now filled with a deafening roar. An energy storm that swept across the heavens and earth came from afar, causing even space itself to collapse wherever it went, creating a terrifyingly dark and oppressive atmosphere.

"What the hell is this?!" Xiao Li cursed, completely baffled as to why such a calamity would occur within the Gate of Life and Death!

The group ran towards the southwest and discovered a spatial vortex, next to which stood a bronze figure.

"That's it! The humanoid puppet I placed! Could this be the door we came through through?" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the bronze figure.

Everyone saw the spatial vortex in front of them, and they could feel the energy storm approaching from behind. If they were caught by that energy storm, they would surely be torn to pieces!

Moreover, this spatial vortex is inherently unstable, and if it is affected by this energy storm, it will most likely collapse.

Xiao Li immediately pulled the women into the spatial vortex and ran away!

Not long after Xiao Li and his group entered the spatial vortex, an energy storm struck, turning the bronze puppet into dust and causing the spatial vortex to collapse.

. . . . . .

Gate of Life and Death, First Level

Several figures emerged from the spatial vortex; it was Xiao Li and his group. After Xiao Li and the others came out, the spatial vortex closed completely.

"The door to the second floor is closed!" Xiao Li looked at the closed spatial vortex.

"What a pity! I wanted to cultivate here until I reached the Dou Zun level before coming out. Ten days inside is equivalent to one day outside, which would have given me plenty of time to cultivate." Xiao Li felt like he had missed out on a fortune!

"What are you thinking? The time in this second layer is unstable. Sometimes ten days inside is equal to one day outside, and sometimes one day inside is equal to ten days outside!"

Moreover, these energy storms frequently sweep across the second level, making it completely uninhabitable!

The aged voice appeared again, and this time Xiao Li was certain that someone was indeed speaking to him. Xiao Li looked at the dark blue storage ring in his hand.

"But is the senior speaking?" Xiao Li's mind stirred.

"Senior? Are you sure you want to call me senior?"

The aged voice appeared again, but this time it carried a hint of mockery.

"Uh, I don't know what you're talking about, senior!" Xiao Li said, feigning ignorance.

"Hmph, your bloodline can't fool this old man. The Xiao clan has such a promising young lad. It seems my choice back then was right. Heaven has not forsaken my Xiao clan!"

The old man's loud voice rang out, and Xiao Li could sense his excitement.

"Senior, are you a senior from the Xiao clan? I am Xiao Li from the Xiao clan. I greet you, senior." Xiao Li respectfully transmitted his voice.

"No need, no need. I have to thank you, little guy, for allowing this old man to survive. Hehehehehehehe, why am I still alive?"

"Clan Chief, Xiao Hao, Xiao Lehe, Xiao Jiekai, and all my fellow members of the Xiao Clan, you're gone! One by one, you're all gone! I, the old man of the Soul Clan, swear to be your sworn enemy!"

A voice filled with resentment reached Xiao Li's ears. Xiao Li seemed to see a great battle. He saw people with the same blood as him, some dead, some wounded, some with their arms cut off, some with their faces sliced ​​off, and some even with half their bodies cut off. Before they died, they did not forget to drag the enemies in front of them down with them.

For some reason, Xiao Li felt a strange movement in his bloodline, and a sad emotion spread throughout his body from his bloodline.

"Clan leader, let's hold the promotion ceremony! Regardless of success or failure, we are willing to do it for the future of the Xiao clan!!!"

Xiao Li heard a loud shout, followed by the rest of the Xiao clan shouting in unison, all their eyes turned to the pale blue figure in the formation.

That person wasn't exceptionally handsome, but his face always had a unique charm. He had long black hair, and a pair of jet-black eyes, as deep as black holes, filled with an unusual wisdom and an intoxicating allure.

He stood there as if he were in the middle of heaven and earth, while opposite him was a man dressed in gray and white clothes, who looked to be about thirty years old, with a slender figure and handsome face.

He had exceptionally bright eyes, as if they could see right through people. His first impression was one of refinement; if he held a book in his hands, he would be no different from a scholar.

"The secret technique begins!"

As the man in the blue robe at the center of the formation activated the secret technique, all the Dou Di bloodline of the Xiao clan converged on this man. A moment later, a vast aura emanated from him, as if he could destroy the world with a mere gesture.

But then came a sigh, and the man in the middle of the formation looked at the Xiao clan members with an apologetic gaze.

"I'm sorry to have disappointed you! I failed!"

Then, the man in the blue robe lightly clenched his fist, opened a spatial passage, and with a flick of his sleeve, sent the remaining members of the Xiao clan into the passage.

Before the spatial passage closed, an elderly man with white hair and beard said, "Take the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and go!"

The scene abruptly ends!

"Child, this is the reason why my Xiao clan declined a thousand years ago, and also why I have become such a grotesque person."

My name is Xiao Kong. I was the Grand Elder of the Xiao Clan before its decline, and also the most incompetent Grand Elder.

The aged voice, filled with boundless regret and sorrow, reached Xiao Li's ears.

"Elder, the Xiao Clan is not yet destroyed. With me here, although the Xiao Clan is still very weak at this time and has lost its Dou Di bloodline, this will never defeat our spirit of forging ahead!"

Even without the bloodline of a Dou Di, the Xiao clan can still become powerful figures in the world! Just like our Xiao clan's ancestor, Emperor Xiao!

Xiao Li's voice was strong and clear, giving Xiao Kong, who was feeling lonely, a glimmer of hope!
