Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Dark clouds filled the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, as if foreshadowing an earth-shattering battle about to unfold.

The Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan clashed fiercely in the extremely high clouds. The terrifying auras emanating from the two of them mingled together, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

The Soul Emperor's white robes were slightly torn, his face was as cold as ice, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent. His gaze was like torches, fixed on Gu Yuan opposite him, while occasionally glancing at the Void Devouring Flame that was fighting Gu Fei in the distance.

All that could be seen was black flames swirling around Void Devouring Flame, its form becoming increasingly ethereal, as if it might vanish into nothingness at any moment.

"This is bad! If this continues, the Void Devouring Flame will definitely not be able to hold on!"

At this moment, the Soul Emperor was extremely anxious, his jaw clenched, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

He knew that the Void Devouring Flame was the key to this battle, and once he lost this strongest fighter, the Soul Clan would be completely wiped out.

Even if the Soul Emperor were to actually save Void Devouring Flame, it still wouldn't change the Soul Clan's inevitable defeat.

After all, the six clans have a numerical advantage, and they are already stretched thin dealing with Gu Yuan.

They rescued Void Devouring Flame, but Void Devouring Flame was still injured.

Destiny is inevitable!

Even so, as long as we leave this place with the Void Devouring Flame, we still have a chance to turn things around!

Let it lie low for a few more years.

Just as the Soul Emperor was distracted, Gu Yuan seized the opportunity and made a move instantly.

He clasped his hands together, and his fighting spirit surged forth, coalescing into a massive golden palm print.

The palm print was radiant with light, its patterns mysterious and exuding a sacred and solemn aura.

"Break it!"

With a shout, Gu Yuan unleashed a golden palm print that hurtled towards the Soul Emperor with overwhelming force.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering explosion resounded through the sky, and the terrifying shockwave stirred up thousands of giant waves, changing the color of the sky wherever it passed.

Caught off guard, the Soul Emperor was struck in the chest by this palm strike, letting out a muffled groan as he flew thousands of feet away, tumbling several times in the air before finally managing to regain his footing.

Blood gushed from the Soul Emperor's mouth, drawing a blinding blood rainbow in the air.

His face was deathly pale, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes, as if he had not expected Gu Yuan's attack to be so fierce.

Logically speaking, Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan should be roughly the same strength.

They won't be at a disadvantage in a fight.

However, the Soul Emperor was indeed distracted just now.

"Soul Emperor, you cannot afford to be distracted while fighting me."

Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm, but a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously at all.

It's like playing a game.

And the Soul Emperor was indeed panicked.

Seeing Gu Yuan so calm only made him more uncertain.

Although Gu Yuan appeared calm on the surface, he was extremely vigilant inside.

He was well aware of how terrifying a powerful figure like the Soul Emperor was, and he could not afford to be careless.

However, the allied forces currently have the upper hand. As long as they can hold off the Soul Emperor, the Soul Clan will undoubtedly be defeated after winning on other battlefields.

Even a Soul Emperor at that level would have no chance of escaping the siege of several eight-star Dou Sheng and other powerful figures.

"ah!"

The Soul Emperor roared in fury, his eyes flashing with a violent light.

He looked around and saw the Soul Clan army retreating in disarray, their situation hanging by a thread. This filled him with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"No! Is my Soul Clan truly destined to be defeated today?"

The Soul Emperor muttered to himself, his voice low and bitter. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.

No! It's not over yet!

It's not too late!!!

Having made up his mind, the Soul Emperor suddenly rushed towards the direction of the Void Devouring Flame.

His speed was extremely fast, transforming into a black lightning bolt that pierced the sky, covering thousands of feet in the blink of an eye.

"Want to save Void Devouring Flame? Not so easy!"

Gu Yuan snorted coldly.

His figure vanished suddenly, and the next moment he was blocking the way for the Soul Emperor.

"Damn Gu Yuan, do you really want to force me to fight to the death?!"

The Soul Emperor roared, his body enveloped in a surge of black mist, and his internal energy surged wildly.

An even more terrifying aura erupted from him, distorting even the void itself.

"Burn!"

With a low shout from the Soul Emperor, his body began to undergo strange changes.

His once pale skin turned blood red, as if blood was flowing beneath every inch of his skin. His deep eyes also turned crimson, radiating a terrifying killing intent.

At this moment, he actually chose to burn his essence blood to temporarily boost his combat power.

This method is extremely damaging to the body; for countless years, there has never been a time when he was driven to such a state.

"Buzz!"

The Soul Emperor burned his essence blood, and his speed increased dramatically once again.

He charged toward Gu Yuan like a streak of crimson lightning, his fist wreathed in terrifying energy vortexes.

"Bang!"

The Soul Emperor slammed his fist into the golden barrier erected by Gu Yuan, unleashing a deafening roar. The golden barrier trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.

However, the next moment, Gu Yuan also unleashed his full power, his fighting spirit surging out to stabilize his defense.

The two quickly became entangled in a fierce battle, exchanging blows that shook the heavens and earth. The Soul Emperor attacked recklessly, each strike containing destructive power, forcing Gu Yuan to retreat steadily.

Even so, Gu Yuan remained calm and composed. He knew that as long as he could buy time, the allied forces would surely win.

Moreover, with the Soul Emperor's current life-or-death fighting style, he won't last long.

On the other side, Gu Fei was engaged in a fierce battle with the Void Devouring Flame.

"Blazing Lotus!"

A giant, seven-colored lotus bloomed in Gu Fei's palm, each petal radiating a heart-pounding heat.

The intense heat even distorted the surrounding air, making people feel suffocated.

The lotus flower roared as it crashed into the void of flames, burning the air in its path into a vacuum.

The Void Devouring Flame barely managed to condense a black wall of fire, but it instantly collapsed under the impact of the Lotus Flower.

"puff!"

The Void Devouring Flame was struck by the Lotus Flower, and the enormous impact sent him flying backward, tracing a charred arc in the air.

"Damn kid, how can you be so strong!"

The Void Devouring Flame screamed in agony, its illusory body becoming even more unstable. Countless cracks spread across its body, and black flames surged forth from within like a tidal wave.

This guy is about to die. I never expected that Gu Fei in front of me had also reached the Emperor Realm Soul stage.

"Ha, now you know, but it's too late!"

Gu Fei sneered and formed hand seals again.

Suddenly, the world changed color, and an incomparably chilling aura spread out. Dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and it sounded as if countless spirits were howling and wailing in the clouds.

"The Wrath of the Underworld!"

With Gu Fei's loud shout, the scene between heaven and earth suddenly underwent a terrifying change.

Countless vengeful spirits surged forth from the dark clouds, overwhelming the void and engulfing the flames. Their faces were ferocious, their sharp claws gleaming with a chilling light, their eyes filled with madness and resentment. The vengeful spirits let out mournful screams, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Aaaaaah!!!"
