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

Chapter 346 Ancient Emperor Jade Unites

At the same time, both the Flame Realm and the Thunder Realm were attacked by the Soul Clan, prompting powerful figures from both clans to pursue them. As a result, the elder guarding the clan ancestral hall suddenly ran away with the Ancient Emperor Jade!

This caught both clans completely off guard! When the two clans searched for the Ancient Clan and the Medicine Clan, they discovered that the Ancient Clan had been severely damaged by the Soul Clan, its strength greatly diminished, and the Ancient Clan Chief, Gu Yuan, had disappeared. The young clan chief, Gu Xun'er, was now temporarily in charge of the Ancient Clan.

The Medicine Clan had just been invaded by the Soul Clan, and if it weren't for the Yin-Yang Saint of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, the Medicine Clan would most likely have been wiped out.

The Yanlei and Yanlei clans were amazed by the Soul Clan's strength, so they decided that they had to form an alliance with the Tianfu Alliance to jointly attack the Soul Clan.

At the Tianfu Alliance headquarters, Gu Yuan coughed repeatedly. He could now get out of bed and walk, but his body was still relatively weak. After all, he had been injured so badly that it would take several hundred years to recover.

"Clan Chief Gu, I have good news for you. The Ancient Emperor Jade of the Eight Clans has been collected by the Soul Emperor." Xiao Li appeared in front of Gu Yuan.

"What kind of good news is this? Cough cough, it seems that this continent is going to be occupied by the Soul Emperor." Gu Yuan was in low spirits. He still remembered what the Soul Emperor had told him, and it seemed that it was going to come true.

Xiao Li smiled slightly: "I know where the Ancient Emperor's Cave is, I even knew it decades ago. I have already made arrangements there."

"Chief Gu, if you were given another chance, would you be willing to fight the Soul Emperor to the death and avenge your people? If you are, I can help you."

Xiao Li's words were like the whispers of a demon, each syllable stirring up Gu Yuan's emotions.

Gu Yuan's eyes instantly turned red. Gu Yuan was clearly very strong, but he was a master of maintaining the status quo. Wasn't it because he cared about the Gu Clan? If he fell, the Gu Clan would be gone too.

Now that the Ancient Clan has been severely damaged by the Soul Clan, many of the old comrades who worked with them in the past are dead or injured, which fuels a burning desire for revenge in Gu Yuan's heart.

"I'll give you anything you want, as long as it avenges my people!" Gu Yuan roared.

"Alright!" Xiao Li smiled and then handed Gu Yuan a jade bottle: "Eat this and your body will be restored to its peak. By the way, I'm going to the Ancient Realm to tear open the Heavenly Tomb and let Xiao Yan go in."

"Hmm." Gu Yuan nodded, then opened the jade bottle, inside which lay a golden pill.

"A ninth-grade Golden Core! Just as I thought, he really can do it! Soul Emperor! We'll see!"

The Soul Realm...

The Soul Emperor stood before the pool, where four pieces of ancient jade already lay.

"Report! Chief Qi! The ancient imperial jade of the Yan and Lei clans has been seized!" A dark figure approached and bowed.

"Alright! Go find Soul Void Master to claim your reward," Soul Emperor said with a faint smile.

"Yes!" the dark figure replied excitedly. The Soul Emperor had said that as long as the mission was completed, the Soul Emperor could give him whatever he wanted—pills, cultivation techniques, fighting skills, everything was negotiable!

What these powerful members of the Soul Clan needed most were elixirs, and all the elixirs were in the hands of the Soul Clan elder, Hun Xuzi. However, Hun Xuzi was probably with the Medicine Clan at the moment, so he had not yet returned.

Suddenly, a strange black flame swept in from the entrance to the Soul Realm. The Soul Emperor naturally sensed this aura and smiled slightly.

"Hahahaha! Soul Emperor! We're all here!" Void Devouring Flame laughed loudly, then transformed into human form and came to Soul Emperor. In his hand were two ancient jade pieces.

"Oh? What happened? You actually collected them all?" The Soul Emperor was also surprised. His best result before was collecting all seven fragments, and the last one was hard to obtain from Xiao Li.

The Soul Emperor had considered threatening Xiao Li's family, but Xiao Li had done it very discreetly. His family members outside the region had all disappeared, including the Xiao family in the Northwest Continent.

As for Zhongzhou, as soon as Soul Emperor appears, Xiao Li can sense his presence. With Xiao Li's strength, he can fight him to a draw. Even though he has thousands of years of experience, the Dragon-Phoenix bloodline is too unreasonable and can completely neutralize Soul Emperor's experience advantage.

Moreover, Xiao Li also has a nine-star Dou Sheng adult dragon-phoenix by her side, which even the Void Devouring Flame cannot defeat.

This is why the Soul Emperor wanted to eliminate Gu Yuan in advance; he was afraid that if Gu Yuan and Xiao Li joined forces, his advantage would be gone!

His biggest trump cards are the Gate of Death and the Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer, both cast by the four elders of the Soul Clan!

The price paid for using the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade last time was too high, and the Soul Emperor does not want to use it for the time being. The Gate of Deathly Silence is the only trump card left. As long as the opponent does not have any more Nine-Star Dou Sheng, they will not be able to break through the Gate of Deathly Silence.

To this day, the Soul Emperor still hasn't figured out how to deal with Xiao Li unless he breaks through to the Dou Di realm! As a result, the Void Devouring Flame brought over two fragments of the Ancient Emperor Jade.

"How did you obtain this?" the Soul Emperor asked in disbelief.

The Soul Emperor picked up the two fragments of the Ancient Emperor Jade and confirmed that both fragments were genuine.

The Void Devouring Flame smiled faintly, "Guess who Xiao Li put the Ancient Emperor Jade fragment on! He put it on that kid named Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan didn't guard the Ancient Emperor Jade properly, and I took it away."

The Soul Emperor frowned. His intuition told him that things were not so simple, yet it also felt very reasonable.

After all, what if something happens to the Ancient Emperor Jade if he keeps it on his person? After all, who could have guessed that Xiao Li would keep the Ancient Emperor Jade close to his body? It would be reasonable for Xiao Li to give the Ancient Emperor Jade to someone else, but it just feels too coincidental.

"Alright, Soul Emperor, stop thinking about it. Once we open the Ancient Emperor's Cave, I'll help you obtain that Emperor-grade embryonic pill, and you'll be able to break through to the Dou Di realm. However, don't forget that there's also something I need in that cave; that's what we agreed on back then."

The Void Devouring Flame couldn't wait any longer.

The Soul Emperor nodded: "Rest assured, you are closely related to my Soul Clan, and I would never deceive you. If what you say is true, and the cave contains the item you need, I will retrieve it for you."

The Soul Emperor didn't think too much about it. Now that all eight fragments of the Ancient Emperor Jade had been collected, it was time to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

With a wave of his hand, the Soul Emperor summoned six fragments of the Ancient Emperor Jade from the water, which then merged with the two fragments in the Void Devouring Flame's hand.

The ancient jade floated above the Soul Emperor's head, emitting a faint glow. The eight pieces of ancient jade echoed each other, looking quite magnificent, and faintly, there seemed to be strange fluctuations emanating from them.

At this moment, the Soul Emperor's gaze was extremely fiery as he looked at the eight pieces of ancient jade. He then bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence that landed on the eight pieces of ancient jade.

Once stained with essence blood, the eight pieces of ancient imperial jade, which originally only emitted a faint luster, began to emit a subtle humming sound, and the light grew stronger and stronger. Strange patterns flowed faintly on the surface of the ancient jade.

As the ancient jade drew closer, the buzzing sound grew stronger. Eventually, with a few cracking sounds, the eight pieces of ancient jade came together. Instantly, light burst forth, and a complete piece of ancient jade, larger than a palm, appeared in the sky.

As the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was completely pieced together, an ancient and wild aura suddenly and slowly emanated from the jade.

As that ancient aura permeated the air, a faint mist of light rose from the ancient jade, and then above the jade, it transformed into a somewhat illusory phantom of an old man.

The old man was dressed in a black robe, but his hair was several colors, each of which looked like flames rising, which was extremely strange.

His appearance was ordinary and plain, but his eyes, as deep as the starry sky, seemed to be those of a master of heaven and earth. Under the gaze of those eyes, anyone, even a powerful figure like the Soul Emperor, would feel their soul tremble slightly.

Tuoshegudi!
