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

As his hand seals changed, streaks of flame suddenly shot out from his fingertips, eventually intertwining in the sky to form a massive array. At the center of that array was the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the great formation was completed, before the soul of the Heavenly Tomb could react, countless fire lines descended from the formation, and with a hissing sound, they pierced through the soul of the Heavenly Tomb's body, binding and hanging it within the formation.

"Boom!"

Faced with the entanglement, the soul of the Heavenly Tomb struggled frantically, and waves of soul fluctuations that even made Xiao Jue change color bombarded the entangled fire lines like cannonballs.

However, those seemingly thin lines of fire seem to have a great restraining effect on soul power. No matter how powerful the soul impact is, it will quickly fade when it comes into contact with the lines of fire.

"If I can't even handle you in this state, then I'm underestimating Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan glanced at the frantically struggling Heavenly Tomb Soul, smiled faintly, his voice not loud, but it had a certain aura. The former supreme expert, even now only a remnant soul, still possessed a domineering presence.

In the distance, Long Yan and Long Xiao were watching intently. The strength of the Heavenly Tomb Soul had actually surpassed that of a nine-star Dou Sheng and was infinitely close to that of a Dou Di.

If we use the soul realm classification in the Dou Qi Continent, then the soul power of the Heavenly Tomb Soul is equivalent to the mid-level Emperor Realm, surpassing ordinary Emperor Realm souls. However, the soul power is too mixed, so the strength it exerts is not much stronger than that of ordinary Emperor Realm souls.

Xiao Xuan's current state is that his soul spontaneously combusts. He sacrificed everything in exchange for the power he once possessed at his peak, which is the realm of a pseudo-Battle Emperor.

At the same time, the self-igniting fire of the soul is also very effective against the soul of the Heavenly Tomb, allowing Xiao Xuan to defeat it easily.

"Xiao Xuan, let me go! We'll discuss anything you want!"

After struggling for a long time to no avail, the Soul of the Tomb softened its tone considerably. It understood that Xiao Xuan in this state was far stronger than it, but as long as it could survive this period, even without its intervention, Xiao Xuan would vanish into thin air.

"No need for further discussion, hand over your very soul!"

Xiao Xuan smiled at the Heavenly Tomb Soul's soft words, changed his hand seal, and the countless fire lines suddenly pierced into the former's body.

Then it began to slowly retreat, and as the fire line pulled, a crystal-clear halo about ten feet in size was slowly pulled out from the body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul.

As soon as a corner of the crystalline halo was revealed, dazzling light poured down from it.

Xiao Jue stretched his palm into the light in front of him, and a warm feeling immediately welled up from the depths of his soul. At this moment, he seemed to hear his soul's almost greedy cry.

"Is this the origin of the soul of the Heavenly Tomb?"

Xiao Jue muttered to himself. He had refined some of the soul essence obtained from the Soul Palace before, but compared to the light before him, that level of soul essence was like a small witch seeing a great witch.

The latter's purity far surpasses that of the soul essence of the Soul Palace by many times.

"Roar!"

As the soul's essence was forcibly pulled out, the soul of the Heavenly Tomb let out a roar like a wild beast. At this moment, it finally felt fear.

Terrified, the soul of the Heavenly Tomb cried out repeatedly, "Xiao Xuan, let me go! I'll give you the entire Heavenly Tomb, and you can have anything you want!"

However, his shouts had no effect whatsoever. Xiao Xuan didn't even glance at it, his hand seals changing rapidly, and the force of the fire line grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, that crystalline halo actually consisted mostly of parts that had been forcibly torn from the body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul.

"Xiao Xuan, I'll fight you to the death!"

Feeling the power within his body rapidly draining away, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb finally understood that if he didn't fight desperately, there would be no hope of saving him.

At that moment, its body shone brightly, and there were even faint flames surging within it, as it was forced to spontaneously combust its soul!

"Snapped!"

However, just as flames began to rise from its body, a palm print descended from the sky and slammed into its face.

That immense force sent it flying, and at the same time, the perfectly round, crystalline halo was also completely torn out of the Heavenly Tomb Soul's body with a "poof".

"No! Give it back!"

The soul's essence was forcibly extracted, and a feeling of weakness immediately filled the body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul. It roared madly and charged towards the soul's essence.

Facing the charging Heavenly Tomb Soul, Xiao Xuan waved his sleeve, and a terrifying gust of wind directly blasted the former back, causing it to plummet headfirst to the ground.

As the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb fell to the ground, the energy entities in the distance suddenly became enraged, their eyes flashing with hatred.

Finally, with a deep roar, it surged forth in a devastating barrage, frantically attacking the extremely weakened Soul of the Heavenly Tomb.

"what!"

Having its power drained, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb was naturally unable to withstand such a large number of attacks, and soon after, a mournful scream resounded.

Its body was directly shattered by the shock, and a remnant soul filled with anger and resentment rose up and eventually dissipated with the wind. This generation of Heavenly Tomb Soul had actually met such an end.

As the soul of the Heavenly Tomb dissipated, the blood-red eyes of the energy entities on this land became much clearer, and when they looked at others again, their desire to devour them also dissipated considerably.

After a long pause, almost all the energy beings knelt down respectfully before Xiao Xuan in the sky.

Xiao Xuan ignored the actions of these energy entities. A crystal-clear halo about ten feet in size floated in front of him. He turned his gaze to Xiao Jue below and smiled slightly.

"Little one, this is all I can do. As for whether you can break through to the Emperor Realm Soul, that depends entirely on your own destiny."

"Alright." Xiao Jue sighed and said nothing more. Perhaps this ending was the best outcome for Xiao Xuan.

"Refine and absorb it."

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, flicked his finger, and the crystal halo in front of him slowly floated down, its dazzling light constantly emanating from it, like a warm sun.

Xiao Jue gazed at the crystalline halo floating before him, the vast soul power emanating from it as unfathomable as the ocean.

Faced with such soul power, even his soul, which was at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, seemed extremely insignificant.
