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

Xiao Jue raised the Dragon-Phoenix Sword in his hand and attacked the Soul Demon Elder directly.

The old man with the Soul Demon let out a cold laugh, and with a flick of his sleeve, dozens of eerie white bone chains shot out. Amidst the surging black mist, they quickly formed a white spider web in front of him, allowing the Dragon Phoenix Sword to slash angrily.

"Squeak!"

The Dragon-Phoenix Sword slashed at the net, and the powerful force contained within it was quickly dissipated. The Dragon-Phoenix Sword's falling speed also slowed down, as if it were sinking into a quagmire. Finally, it solidified when it was only half a foot away from the Soul Demon Elder's forehead.

"The Seven Star Dou Sheng is nothing special!"

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, a golden lightning bolt appeared around the Dragon-Phoenix Sword in Xiao Jue's hand. The bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon was in harmony with the power of space, while the bloodline of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was the power of wind and thunder, which was in harmony with the Nine Profound Golden Thunder!

The Dragon Phoenix Sword slashed down again, easily slicing through the bone net that was as supple as silk, and the blade flashed towards the throat of the Soul Demon Elder.

The sudden turn of events startled the old man, but he remained calm. His skeletal hand traced a strange arc and lightly touched the Dragon Phoenix Sword.

Then, with a casual slap, a loud bang was heard, and the Dragon Phoenix Sword was sent flying by his palm, while also severing a lock of the Soul Demon Elder's hair.

"snort!"

In their first encounter, the old man, having been slightly overconfident, suffered a minor loss. His expression turned grim, and his hand seals suddenly changed.

Suddenly, countless shrill screams rang out from within the dark clouds that blotted out the sky above his head. Faintly, one could even see countless figures struggling within the dark clouds.

"Heavenly Demon Blood Gu, Devour!"

As the old man's chilling shout fell, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly churned, and a moment later, a ferocious aura, seemingly not belonging to humanity, suddenly surged out from the dark clouds.

Immediately, amidst countless horrified gazes, a blinding blood-red light tore through the dark clouds like a thunderclap, hurtling towards Xiao Jue with lightning speed.

As he watched the blood-red light rapidly enlarge in his pupils, Xiao Jue's Dragon-Phoenix Sword began to spin wildly like a windmill. Then, the sword paused, and a massive sword beam, a thousand feet long, burst forth from the Dragon-Phoenix Sword, accompanied by a series of low sonic booms. It collided fiercely with the blood-red light as fast as lightning.

"Croak!"

Struck hard by the thousand-foot sword beam, the blood-red light was sent flying thousands of feet away, its mournful cry echoing through the air, smashing several mountain peaks into dust along its path.

Despite suffering a heavy blow, the blood-red light was incredibly resilient. As soon as it regained its footing, it attacked again. However, this time, its speed was much slower, and many people were able to see its appearance clearly. Immediately, many people gasped in shock.

It was a toad-like creature, but its body was dark red. On its surface were countless protruding fleshy lumps, and upon closer inspection, these fleshy lumps were actually hideous human faces!

Not far away, the old apothecary gazed at the hideous and terrifying blood frog, his expression turning grim. He said, "It's actually a Soul Gu Frog! This Soul Demon Elder's methods are truly ruthless!"

Xiao Jue frowned slightly. He had heard of the Soul Gu Frog before. It was said that it was made by gathering many souls together and letting them fight each other. With the addition of some materials, the Soul Gu Frog could be made.

This thing is somewhat similar to a puppet, but because it is made up of countless souls forcibly mixed together, it also possesses some intelligence.

However, this intelligence is dominated by its ferocity. Once released, it will go on a killing spree, and may even attack its master. Therefore, only those with extremely ruthless methods can refine the Soul Gu Frog.

Within the mountains, countless eyes were fixed on the blood frog, their gazes filled with undisguised disgust and fear. Clearly, many had heard of the infamous Soul Gu Frog.

"go!"

The old man of the Soul Demon ignored those gazes, a sinister look appearing on his face. He pointed his finger at Xiao Jue not far away, and upon hearing his command, the Soul Gu Frog shot out once again.

As for the old man with the Soul Demon, he also secretly attacked Xiao Jue while the Soul Gu Frog was restraining him. His moves were ruthless and aimed directly at Xiao Jue's vital points, clearly intending to take the opportunity to kill him.

Faced with the combined offensive of the man and the frog, Xiao Jue had no choice but to switch from offense to defense, and he was actually starting to lose ground.

"It seems things aren't looking too good!"

Seeing this scene, Yao Lao and others frowned and whispered that the battle in the sky was becoming more and more intense. The fierce fights were dazzling. Only those with sharp eyesight could barely follow the flickering figure.

"clang!"

The huge body of the Soul Gu Frog slammed into the Dragon Phoenix Sword like a cannonball. The terrifying force directly shocked Xiao Jue and made him retreat several steps.

Just as he regained his footing, a chilling gust of wind, extremely cunning and ruthless, swept towards his vital parts on the back. Instantly, he twisted his body and flicked the Dragon Phoenix Sword backward, deflecting a sharp lock tip that resembled a venomous snake.

Although he managed to withstand the dangerous attack, Xiao Jue's entire arm felt somewhat numb.

"Xiao Jue, no matter how experienced you are, you killed Lords Hun Yan and Hun Sha, so you can't possibly still be at your peak. Wanting to defeat me is a pipe dream!"

The figure of the Soul Demon Elder appeared above the Soul Gu Frog's head. He looked at Xiao Jue and sneered, "Before all the heroes of the world, you, a great figure of the Seven Star Dou Sheng, have been forced into such a sorry state. You might as well retreat to avoid further humiliation!"

Xiao Jue's figure also appeared in mid-air. He glanced at the Soul Demon Elder, his handsome face still showing no emotion.

However, the vast battle aura emanating from his body suddenly weakened, and he gripped the Dragon Phoenix Sword tightly with both hands, raising it high above his head.

"One sword, and I'll finish you off."

"Hmph, arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, the Soul Demon Elder's expression turned slightly cold, but he became highly vigilant. His vast battle qi circulated rapidly like a flood, forming countless battle qi vortexes on the surface of his body.

Xiao Jue held the Dragon Phoenix Sword high in his hand, and his aura gradually faded away. If it weren't for the fact that his figure was visible to the naked eye, anyone would probably think that Xiao Jue's aura had suddenly disappeared from this world.
