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

"Is this the soul of that heavenly tomb?"

Gazing at the giant soul face taking shape in the sky, Xiao Jue's expression also turned solemn, and he muttered to himself.

"Xiao Xuan, we've always kept to ourselves. Are you trying to break our agreement today?"

The giant face rolled over, its pair of emotionless eyes staring at Xiao Xuan, who was suspended in the sky. Its cold voice, like thunder, boomed and echoed between heaven and earth.

Xiao Xuan gazed at the gigantic face and smiled, saying softly, "Your very existence was a mistake. Even the Dou Di powerhouse who created the Heavenly Tomb back then probably didn't foresee that such a bizarre creature as you would be born here!"

The giant face rolled, and the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb said indifferently, "Nonsense! I was born according to my master's will, and I am the guardian of this space. You were given life again because of me, so you should abide by my rules!"

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "They survived because of the Heavenly Tomb, not because of you."

"I am the Heavenly Tomb, and the Heavenly Tomb is me!" The voice of the Heavenly Tomb's soul suddenly became much sharper.

"You are not from the Heavenly Tomb, and your birth was not due to the Heavenly Tomb, but rather the condensation of their remnant souls. In a sense, they created you..."

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, but his calm voice only made the giant face more and more distorted, making it look extremely ferocious.

"Since you're so determined to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

The giant face surged, and from its enormous mouth, a massive soul storm suddenly spewed out. The storm spun wildly, like a sharp cone, and shot fiercely toward Xiao Xuan.

Faced with the attack of the Heavenly Tomb Soul, Xiao Xuan simply walked step by step toward the giant face. The seemingly fierce soul storm passed right through him when it touched his body, as if it had no effect on him at all.

Xiao Xuan walked unimpeded to the bottom of the giant face. Suddenly, a strange spark appeared on his body, as if his soul was burning!

"Give me the essence of your soul."

Strange flames emanated from every pore of Xiao Xuan's body, and the smile on his face grew even gentler.

"Soul spontaneously combusting? Xiao Xuan, you're insane!"

Gazing at the strange flames rising from Xiao Xuan's body, a look of shock suddenly appeared on the giant face, and it shouted in a sharp voice, "Soul self-ignition means you will completely disappear from this world!"

"Soul spontaneously combusting..."

Xiao Jue below also sighed, closed his eyes, and refused to watch this scene anymore. As an alchemist, he naturally understood what it meant for the soul to spontaneously combust.

A method similar to exploding, where extremely strong power is unleashed in a short period of time, but it comes at the cost of life.

The same applies to spontaneous combustion of the soul, which involves burning the soul to gain a sudden and immense increase in power, but the price is that the soul will be reduced to ashes.

To be honest, Xiao Jue didn't have a deep impression of Xiao Xuan, nor did she have much affection for him, but she still wanted to save him, however, she still failed to do so.

Perhaps it was because he had stood guard here alone for six thousand years, such a long time, that Xiao Jue wanted to dispel Xiao Xuan's obsession.

Therefore, he hoped that Xiao Xuan would see the revival of the Xiao clan. But now, he also understands Xiao Xuan's thoughts. Immortality is a blessing, but lonely immortality is definitely the most unbearable curse in the world. He is also about to reach his limit.

"My mission is complete; whether I disappear or not is no longer important."

Facing the slightly frightened soul of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, then said nothing more, raised his palm radiating flames, and reached out to grab the former from afar.

Suddenly, a terrifying suction force formed in his palm, and a violent fluctuation suddenly emanated from the giant mouth of the Heavenly Tomb Soul, as if something was being forcibly pulled out.

"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

The soul of the Heavenly Tomb roared angrily, and the entire Heavenly Tomb trembled under its roar.

Its enormous mouth opened, and an invisible soul spear, hundreds of feet long, shot out, tearing through space and hurtling towards Xiao Xuan.

"I will pay the price of burning my soul; you cannot stop me."

Despite the resistance of the Heavenly Tomb Soul, Xiao Xuan remained calm. He smiled slightly, reached out his hand, and gently grasped it.

The soul spear that had been hurtling towards them with its sharp sonic waves suddenly stopped, then turned around with a flick of Xiao Xuan's sleeve, reflecting back at the soul of the Heavenly Tomb with an even more ferocious impact.

On that spear, there were even clusters of strange flames, flames of spontaneous combustion of the soul.

"call out!"

The spear reflected extremely quickly, almost instantly transforming into a streak of fire that pierced through the giant face.

Instantly, the flames on the spear, as if encountering dry firewood, burst forth with a whoosh and spread like lightning.

"what!"

Fireworks filled the air as the soul of the Heavenly Tomb let out a mournful scream. If it were a normal fight, it would be wary of Xiao Xuan, but not afraid of him.

But now, the latter spontaneously combusts its soul the moment it makes a move, and its power naturally surges dramatically, making it extremely difficult for even it to resist.

Moreover, the flames that spontaneously combust from a soul are far too lethal to a soul-like being like it.

The giant face of the soul in the sky was engulfed in flames. Finally, the face rapidly shrank, and at the same time, waves of frenzied soul impacts burst forth from its body, turning the world upside down.

All the energy entities were terrified and fled far away from this area, fearing that they would be caught in it and suffer the fate of being completely destroyed.

The Void Devouring Flame swirled around Xiao Jue. Although the soul impact was extremely strong, Xiao Jue was still able to easily withstand it with his strength, so he did not retreat.

Xiao Xuan's soul power has now reached a terrifying level, and his self-ignition of his soul has made him almost invincible.

However, just thinking about this state, which would require Xiao Xuan to pay the price of his soul, is enough to make Xiao Xuan realize that although he is currently only a remnant soul, he still exists.

After this battle, once his soul has been completely burned away, he will disappear from this world forever!

"Xiao Xuan, I will not let you get away with this!"

The giant face shrank in the flames, and after a while, it transformed into a human-like figure with scarlet and furious eyes staring intently at Xiao Xuan, its killing intent surging.

Xiao Xuan ignored the roar of the Heavenly Tomb Soul, and clasped his hands together, quickly forming a series of complex and intricate hand seals.
