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

Chapter 320: Let it end there.

"Ancient Emperor's Shattering Finger!"

A gigantic finger, imbued with overwhelming battle energy, attacked fiercely towards the Soul Emperor. The finger was covered with strange patterns.

"Guyuan!"

Soul Emperor roared and then quickly unleashed a blood-red lightning bolt, his signature fighting technique, Blood Demon Heart-Eating Lightning.

Boom—

The clash of the two great techniques caused the sky to appear to be torn apart.

The Soul Emperor's figure suddenly retreated, having just been ambushed by Gu Yuan and suffered a silent loss.

The Soul Emperor took a deep breath and regained his calm demeanor: "Gu Yuan, I didn't expect you to resort to such despicable tactics as sneak attacks."

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of the Soul Emperor; it was Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan sneered: "Heh, to deal with despicable people, you naturally have to use the appropriate methods."

The two most powerful beings in the Dou Qi Continent who are still alive and able to move around have met.

Zhu Kun: How presumptuous of me.

At this moment, Xiao Li and Zi Yan, who had unleashed the Supreme Dragon-Phoenix, appeared next to Gu Yuan. Both of them possessed the bloodline of the Dragon-Phoenix and joined forces to unleash the Dragon-Phoenix Dharma Form. They were also genuine nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouses!

The Soul Emperor felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene. He did have trump cards, but he wouldn't use them casually.

"Gu Yuan, you win! The green hills remain, and the clear waters flow on forever!"

The Soul Emperor led his Soul Clan members away without lingering.

"That's it? I thought the two powerful figures were going to have a proper showdown." The audience members said, still wanting more.

"What are you thinking? If these two really attack, we're all dead! Let's get out of here!"

In this battle of the strongest, countless unsuspecting individuals were killed by the aftershocks.

Above the sky, Xiao Li and Zi Yan released their Dragon-Phoenix Dharma Forms and stood side by side, their hands still tightly clasped.

Xiao Li nodded slightly to Gu Yuan: "Thank you, Clan Chief Gu, for your intervention that intimidated the Soul Emperor."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, then carefully examined Xiao Li: "Alliance Leader Xiao is truly amazing. In such a short time, you've actually reached the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm and possess an Emperor-level soul? And this one, he's probably the current Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon, right?"

Xiao Li smiled and said, "I was lucky enough to obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Crippled Sword Saint."

"I am Zhu Ziyan, the Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Void." Ziyan introduced herself simply and coolly.

Gu Yuan's lips twitched upon hearing this stroke of luck, but he didn't say anything. Compared to the Soul Emperor, he preferred spending time with Xiao Li. After all, who would mind having another alchemist friend?

Gu Yuan coughed and chuckled, "Welcome Alliance Leader Xiao to visit again. The Gu Clan is our guest. The Soul Emperor is an unethical and extremely dangerous fellow. Please be careful, Alliance Leader Xiao. I'm leaving now."

Gu Yuan transformed into a streak of light and departed. Xiao Li scratched his cheek: "The Gu clan chief isn't so bad after all..."

Xiao Li looked into the distance, and then returned with Zi Yan to the location of the Tianfu Alliance.

"That was close." Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief. After the four demon saints of the Soul Clan came out, he knew that Hun Miesheng hadn't gotten away with it. When he saw Hun Tiandi come out, he felt that Tianfu was about to fall apart.

Xiao Li nodded slightly: "Yes, it was really dangerous, but it's alright. Zi Yan and I are barely able to match a late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng. Now we are in a three-way standoff."

Now you've witnessed the true power of the Soul Clan, haven't you? Was my previous caution justified?

The Dou Sheng of the Tianfu Alliance finally understood the unfathomable power of the Soul Clan. Leaving aside the Soul Emperor for the time being, the four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan were enough to sweep away everything.

Xiao Li exhaled a breath of stale air: "Phew~ Let's go back."

Xiao Li used spatial teleportation to take everyone away directly.

0. . . .

At the Tianfu Alliance headquarters, it was announced, "Alright, we're heading to the Desolate Ancient Domain now. We'll trouble Senior Huoyun, Senior Lin, and Fairy Hua to escort us."

Xiao Yan clasped his hands in greeting to the three Dou Sheng experts.

The group from the Tianfu Alliance who went to the Desolate Ancient Domain this time included Xiao Yan, Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, Qing Lin, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xue, Tang Huo'er, and Su Mingyue (son of Wang Ming and Su Wanyin).

In any case, all those in the Tianfu Alliance who had reached the level of five-star Dou Zun or above were taken by Xiao Yan to the Desolate Ancient Domain.

Suddenly, the spatial power of the Alliance headquarters fluctuated abnormally, and the dozen or so Dou Sheng leaders who had gone out returned in the next moment.

This surprised everyone who was preparing to head to the desolate ancient domain.

Old Ancestor Huoyun blinked: "Back so quickly? You swept through the Soul Palace? No one from the Soul Clan showed up?"

Xiao Li waved his hand: "Don't mention it. I sparred with the Soul Clan Chief; it was really dangerous. Oh? Are you guys heading to the Desolate Ancient Domain? Count me in."

Xiao Li simply used his cultivation to alter his body shape and then put on a specially made mask.

"Alright! Peak Dou Zun Elder of the Tianfu Alliance." Xiao Li's new appearance: a burly man over two meters tall with a face like a red date and sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

Xiao Yan's lips twitched: "Second Master, what are you up to now?"

Xiao Li tapped Xiao Yan on the head: "None of your business, lead the way!"

"Ah~ I've already cultivated the Vajra Glazed Body and also have the Heavenly Burning Flame Demon Body, two body-refining combat techniques, why is Second Master still hitting me so hard?"

Xiao Yan covered his head and led the way with a pained expression.

Xiao Li, Xiao Yan and their group left. All the Dou Sheng experts of the Tianfu Alliance went into seclusion. This time they had witnessed the strength of the Soul Clan. Although they were also Dou Sheng experts, they were still no match for the top experts of the Soul Clan.

Elder Yao, Elder Lin, Elder Han, Elder Cheng, Elder Lü, and Elder Shennong went to refine pills; they were going to refine another batch of Grade Nine Treasure Pills.

Shennong the Elder suddenly looked at the Pill Tower Ancestor: "Old monster, can you still improve further? In your current state, you should be at the top-tier Profound Core stage, right? The next step should be the Golden Core stage, right?"

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower nodded: "I can indeed transform into a Golden Core, but there's no need. The moment I become a Golden Core, several large hands will grab me and take me away. It's safer to stay in this Profound Core body."

The old man Shennong pondered as he leaned on his cane: "The Golden Elixir needs to absorb the energy of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder to undergo transformation, but how powerful is the Nine Profound Golden Thunder? Even a six-star Dou Sheng like me would be seriously injured if he touched even a trace of it."

He also had to withstand the entire baptism of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, using his own body to pass through the thunder and infuse the energy of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder into the pill. How could such a thing be possible?

Even the one from the Pill Tower back then failed. I wonder if our Alliance Leader can? He possesses the bloodline of a dragon and phoenix, and his physical strength is outrageous. He should be able to withstand the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower shook his head: "I don't know about that. Last time he was a six-star Dou Sheng, but this time he came back directly at the peak of eight-star Dou Sheng. Such a speed of progress makes me ashamed."

Shennong sighed, "Who can argue with that? We've only known each other for a short time, yet he's made such rapid progress. I feel like all those years of hard work have been for nothing."

As the powerful members of the Tianfu Alliance went about their own business, the Tianfu Alliance began to fall into a different kind of silence. However, black lightning could often be seen appearing at the Tianfu Alliance headquarters.
