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

Chapter 326 Two Years Later, the Plan

At the Tianfu Alliance headquarters, in Xiao Li's residence, Xiao Li was leisurely drinking tea, enjoying a moment of tranquility. He knew this tranquility wouldn't last long.

The Soul Clan is probably preparing something during this time, as the current situation on the continent can be described as four-way.

The Soul Clan, the Ancient Clan, the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, and the Flame, Thunder, and Medicine Three-Clan Alliance.

The Soul, Ancient, and Heavenly Mansion clans each have a Nine-Star Dou Sheng in charge, while the Flame, Thunder, and Medicine clans have two peak Eight-Star Dou Sheng members. Together, they are barely equivalent to a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

A tremendous aura shot into the sky, a scene that had occurred many times in the past two years, indicating that someone had successfully broken through to the Dou Sheng realm.

"He only came out after two years of seclusion. Hmm? Early stage of two-star Dou Sheng? It seems that the Bodhi Saint-Entering Pill and Bodhi Heart have been quite beneficial to him. It's a pity that his soul power is only at the late stage of the Heaven Realm, close to the Great Perfection. I have to go to the Soul Palace to retrieve the goods."

Looking at the beam of light in the distance, Xiao Li naturally knew that this was a sign of Xiao Yan's breakthrough.

Xiao Yan can be said to be the last one to break through to Dou Sheng. He clearly had no shortage of resources, but it still took him so long. Fortunately, everything in Tianfu was stable, otherwise he would have been stuck at the critical point again.

"Xiao Yan? He also attained Bodhi Heart?" Zi Yan munched on fruit, watching the young man slowly rise into the sky.

"Probably, anyway, I shamelessly asked the Bodhi Tree for three Bodhi Hearts," Xiao Li said, shrugging.

Zi Yan glanced at Xiao Li with a frown: "You stinky Xiao Li, you're biased and won't give me the Bodhi Heart. I'll punish you by making you refine a ninth-grade golden pill for me."

Xiao Li just smiled at this. Zi Yan was just joking with him. She was simply greedy and wanted to try the effects of Bodhi Heart. At her level, Bodhi Heart was of little use.

After all, Bodhi Heart grants instant sainthood, while Zi Yan and Xiao Li have both reached the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level, so taking Bodhi Heart wouldn't have much effect on them.

After reaching the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, Xiao Li clearly felt his bloodline begin to mutate. At this point, Xiao Li's bloodline was equivalent to a divine-grade bloodline. When his cultivation reached the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, his bloodline would be completely mutated.

The next step is to break through to the Dou Di realm, thereby activating the Dou Di bloodline.

"It's almost done. My preparations are almost complete; all that's missing is that Emperor-grade embryonic pill."

Xiao Li touched the black lotus between his brows. At this level, he could indeed feel the source energy within the Sacred Abyss Demon-Suppressing Lotus.

The source energy was stronger than before, possibly because the Heavenly Crippled Sword Saint had collected some source energy, but it was still not enough, lacking only the source energy from the Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

Zi Yan, who was originally munching on fruit, suddenly raised an eyebrow and then whispered something in Xiao Li's ear.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Well done. The Nine Netherworld Python Clan and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan have really helped me a lot. This has brought stability to the entire Central Continent."

Xiao Li was also quite excited at this moment. He had made so many preparations to achieve this goal. For this reason, he had never let the Nine Netherworld Python and the Ancient Void Dragon appear. It was all for this important matter!

Destroy the Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Array!

The Soul-Devouring Array is an extremely insidious array from ancient times. This array can turn all living beings within its range into blood foam and forcibly extract energy from that blood. Because this array is too insidious and ruthless, it was destroyed long ago, but it was preserved by the Soul Clan and engraved on the Central Continent.

You think the Soul Palace is openly collecting souls? Of course it is, after all, it needs a massive number of souls to help the Void Devouring Flame break through to the Emperor Realm!

The Soul Palace was secretly setting up this Soul Devouring and Life-Severing Array!

The Soul Emperor had prepared for the worst. If the Emperor-grade embryonic pill could not help him break through to the Dou Di realm, then he would turn the Emperor-grade embryonic pill into a true Emperor pill!

Xiao Li naturally knew Soul Emperor's idea: firstly, to capture high-level alchemists and have multiple alchemists work together to refine the Emperor-grade embryonic pill into a true Emperor-grade pill.

Secondly, the Central Plains should be used as the cauldron, living beings as the ingredients, heaven and earth as the fire, and the physical body as the pill. The vast number of living beings in the Central Plains should be used to refine the Emperor-grade embryonic pill into an Emperor-grade pill!

Since Xiao Li already knew about the Soul Emperor's backup plan, he naturally made preparations. As early as when Yao Chen returned, Xiao Li specifically asked him to find the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array and mobilized the power of the Starfall Pavilion and the Sound Valley to inscribe the detailed location of the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array in the Central Plains.

Later, Xiao Li learned from the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun how to resolve the hidden dangers of the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array! Using the secret technique of the ancient dragon clan, the Demon Transformation Array!

This formation is specifically designed to counter the Dragon Transformation Demon Formation. It is now considered lost on Ancient Dragon Island, as it was destroyed along with many forbidden techniques. Fortunately, successive Dragon Emperors were careful and inscribed all the forbidden techniques of the Dragon Clan into the Dragon Emperor Seal.

The old Dragon Emperor's solution to break the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array was to use an array to break another array! The Demon Transformation Array would be inscribed on the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array. Once the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array was activated, the Demon Transformation Array would also be activated, and the power of the two arrays would directly cancel each other out! In this way, the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array would be gone!

This plan is excellent. It can solve the problem of the Soul Devouring Life Array without being discovered by the Soul Clan. As long as the Soul Clan activates the Soul Devouring Life Array, the Demon Transformation Array will also be activated. The Soul Devouring Life Array will directly cancel out the Demon Transformation Array!

Such an arrangement would only be discovered by a half-emperor like Zhu Kun personally inspecting the formation, or by a true Dou Di!

This formation is Xiao Li's method to solve the Devouring Spirit Life-Severing Formation. In order to set up this great formation, all the Dou Zong and above beings of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan were mobilized.

The Nine Netherworld Python clan, with its large population and strong ability to conceal itself, quickly located the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array based on the map.

Next, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan personally set up the Demon Transformation Array. Because of their innate talent, the Taixu Ancient Dragons could make their Demon Transformation Array more concealed. However, setting up the entire Central Continent exhausted the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's experts!

However, they had to carry out His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's orders, as they concerned the future of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void!

As Zi Yan had previously stated, the Demon Transformation Array had been completed. Furthermore, to be on the safe side, the elders of the Ancient Dragon of the Void decided to set up two layers of the Demon Transformation Array. After all, they were not the old Dragon Emperor, and setting up the Demon Transformation Array was somewhat unfamiliar to them. Setting up two layers would be more secure.

Upon hearing that the Demon Transformation Array had been completed, Xiao Li felt a weight lifted from his heart.

Xiao Li didn't consider himself a good person; he had done plenty of murders, robberies, and ravaging of his enemies.

However, the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array would cause widespread devastation to the entire Central Continent, and Xiao Li still felt somewhat reluctant to do so. Perhaps he, as a demonic cultivator, was not pure enough.

Two moons appear simultaneously, nine stars unite, the tides of heaven and earth surge, and demonic fire descends upon the world!

The day when the Pure Lotus Demon Flame will be born is drawing ever closer. Once the Pure Lotus Demon Flame is born, the real battle will begin.

Xiao Li looked at the sky: "I need to raise myself to the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm during this period! It seems I need to refine a Grade Nine Golden Pill."
