Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

However, the instant Xiao Jue left the Flame Realm, a sudden change occurred on the Dou Qi Continent, and Xiao Jue turned his gaze to the sky above the Central Continent.

And just as his gaze fell upon it, the entire space of Zhongzhou suddenly trembled violently.

This scene was also noticed by Xiao Jue and Long Yan. Long Xiao, who was attached to his arm, also appeared and looked at the distant sky with them.

Suddenly, a black halo appeared there. As soon as it appeared, it spread out at an astonishing speed, enveloping the entire Central Continent.

"Boom boom boom!"

As this halo appeared, the energy of heaven and earth throughout the Central Continent surged at that moment, and countless powerful figures paled in shock, raising their heads to gaze at the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people in Zhongzhou, the black light began to writhe in the sky, and finally, amidst those terrified gazes, it transformed into a cauldron of light!

The size of the cauldron was indescribable; it seemed as if the entire Central Plains were encompassed within it.

"This is……"

Xiao Jue stared wide-eyed, swallowing hard. With Zhu Kun in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, it was impossible for the Soul Emperor to obtain the Emperor-grade embryonic pill without making a sound. So why was this?

"Using the Central Plains as the cauldron, living beings as the ingredients, and heaven and earth as the fire, what does the Soul Emperor wish to refine?"

The Central Plains were also thrown into considerable turmoil at this moment, and the source of that turmoil was naturally the enormous cauldron of light that had formed in the sky. The fluctuations that were faintly emanating from it made many powerful figures feel uneasy.

About half a day after the appearance of the cauldron, black light suddenly emerged from the distant sky, and finally, under the gaze of countless eyes, it burst forth with an overwhelming black beam of light.

These beams of light, like a spider web, formed an extremely large array in the sky. After the array appeared, a figure with long, flowing hair appeared at the center of the array.

"Gu Yuan, aren't you going to protect me!"

Within the grand formation, a gaze pierced through the clouds, shooting towards a certain point in the Central Plains. A faint voice echoed throughout the entire Central Plains, carrying with it an extremely terrifying pressure.

"It's time to put our years of planning to use! A thousand-year struggle—the time will come, and we'll each have to rely on our own abilities!"

As the Soul Emperor finished speaking, beams of light suddenly shot out from the massive array that enveloped the Central Plains, directly piercing the earth in various parts of the Central Plains.

"Boom!"

The beam of light fell upon the earth, and the entire Central Continent seemed to tremble violently as if an earthquake had struck.

Somewhere in Zhongzhou, a city stands on the plain. In the city, the crowd is surging, as if it is a popular city.

"boom!"

However, this excitement did not last long. Just as the earth began to tremble, a huge crack suddenly spread out from the city.

Immediately, many powerful figures took to the air in shock, but before they could react, a black beam of light burst forth from the ground, enveloping the entire city.

"Bang bang bang!"

Under the shadow of that black pillar of light, figures in the city suddenly exploded, blood mist and shattered flesh bursting apart.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Staring at the figures that had exploded into a cloud of blood mist right beside them, a deep sense of fear and horror surged up from their hearts like a tidal wave.

In the midst of fear, the city descended into chaos, with everyone frantically fleeing towards the city gates. Some of the stronger individuals even soared into the air to escape.

But before they could even reach the city gate, the panic caused by the self-destruction spread rapidly. In an instant, the city was shrouded in blood mist, and thick blood and bits of flesh submerged more than half of the city.

A black pillar of light enveloped the city's sea of ​​blood, and streams of crimson energy slowly rose up, eventually transforming into a crimson pillar of light that shot into the sky and swept into the massive array that enveloped the Central Plains.

A flash of blood appeared, the black light dissipated, leaving behind a dead city with a nauseatingly strong stench of blood.

"Creak..."

At the city gate, the troops who were about to enter the city, before the joy on their faces could even show, were filled with the surging sea of ​​blood. Immediately, a mournful cry rang out.

The same situation was playing out in many parts of Zhongzhou at this very moment. For a time, a thick aura of blood permeated the entire Zhongzhou, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The entire Central Plains was gripped by panic at this moment.

Above a city not far from where the Soul Emperor appeared, Xiao Jue, Yan Jin, and the others emerged, their faces ashen as they gazed at the sea of ​​blood spreading through the city below.

"What's going on?" Yan Jin gasped as he looked at the scene.

The latest novel is first published here!

With a livid face, Long Yan flicked his finger, forcibly opening the cracks in the city and dispersing the sea of ​​blood.

As the cracks spread, a blood-red array appeared beneath the ground, filled with stark white bones, and a sinister aura rose into the sky.

Upon gazing at the array hidden beneath the ground, Yan Jin and the others were immediately filled with shock, exclaiming, "It's actually the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array!"

"What ruthless methods!" Lei Ying said through gritted teeth.

The Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array is an extremely insidious array from ancient times. This array can turn all living beings within its coverage area into blood foam and forcibly extract energy from that blood. Because this array is too insidious and ruthless, it was destroyed long ago. Unexpectedly, the Soul Clan can still use it!

"These formations were set up by the Soul Palace. It seems that the Soul Palace's official mission is to collect souls, but in secret, they have unknowingly set up many of these Soul Devouring and Life-Severing Formations under the Central Continent."

Lei Ying said grimly, "The Soul Clan has indeed prepared thoroughly for this day. But what do they intend to refine?"

Xiao Jue raised his head, gazing at the massive array in the distant sky, and said, "The Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array requires an extremely large amount of energy to activate, let alone such a large number of them. I think the Soul Clan has exhausted all their strength at this moment; they are gambling everything!"

Xiao Jue said firmly, "But whatever the Soul Emperor needs to do, we must stop him."

"Then let's attack together."

A voice that sounded like a half-smile rang out, and Gu Yuan appeared before them, causing everyone to look at him warily.

Long Xiao, a mid-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, along with Yan Jin, Huo Ling, and Lei Ying, all early-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng—a total of four Nine-Star Dou Sheng—plus Xiao Jue and Long Yan, two Seven-Star Dou Sheng, all watched Gu Yuan warily. (End of Chapter)
