Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

In the original work, after the Soul Emperor activated the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, he would at least use that life energy to refine the Emperor Pill, turning the half-finished Emperor Pill into a true Emperor Pill.

However, if he directly absorbs this life energy now, the side effects will be much greater than if he refined it into an Emperor Pill.

However, at that moment, the Soul Emperor's expression suddenly changed.

He discovered that the number of Soul Devouring Life-Severing Arrays activated was far less than he had expected!

He suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Yang.

"You tampered with part of the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array in Zhongzhou?"

He recalled the location where Hun Mitian had died last time, and his original guess.

At the time, the Soul Emperor guessed that the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array might be discovered, which is why he launched the war so quickly.

Now, his guess may very well be true!

It seems Xiao Yang has really discovered those Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Arrays!

Not only that, he also destroyed many Soul Devouring Life-Severing Arrays!

He calculated that at least 50% of the Soul Devouring and Life-Severing Array in Zhongzhou had been destroyed!

The Soul-Devouring and Life-Severing Arrays in those big cities have all been tampered with and cannot be activated!

How did you find out?

The Soul Emperor looked at Xiao Yang with a surprised expression.

“Your array formation skills are too poor; I can tell something is wrong at a glance.”

"It would be very easy to tamper with your Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array."

“If there weren’t so many of them, and I needed to dismantle as many as possible, I could even reverse the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array you set up.”

"At that time, what we will absorb are your fighting spirit and life energy."

As he spoke, a hint of amusement flashed across Xiao Yang's face.

He does have the ability, but he still needs to spend some time studying it.

Unfortunately, before he could figure it out, the Soul Emperor launched a war.

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, even the Soul Emperor broke out in a cold sweat.

He secretly rejoiced that the war had started early.

However, he also felt some regret, as the start of the war was still a bit late.

If the war had started earlier, those Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Arrays wouldn't have been destroyed like this.

In fact, if it had happened even earlier, Xiao Xuan wouldn't have been resurrected, and Xiao Yang wouldn't have had such strength.

However, as a ruthless and powerful figure, the Soul Emperor would not wallow in regret.

Without the slightest hesitation, he formed another hand seal.

The next moment, streams of blood energy began to spread toward him once again.

"what--"

"what--"

"what--"

The four elders of the Soul Clan and the original few Seven-Star Battle Saints immediately let out miserable cries.

Because the blood essence that the Soul Emperor extracted actually came from them!

Chapter 611 Blood Sacrifice to the Soul Clan!

One by one, the Soul Emperor extracted blood energy from the bodies of the individuals.

They immediately became listless.

The four elders of the Soul Clan began to emanate waves of deathly aura.

They were on the verge of death, as if they might die at any moment.

Those Soul Clan elders, who were originally Seven-Star Dou Sheng, aged considerably in an instant as their life energy was drained from their bodies.

Their hair began to turn gray, and their skin began to darken.

Not only that, their skin also began to develop a large number of spots.

Their bodies also shrank rapidly, and they began to grow shorter.

Besides the changes in their appearance, their internal organs also undergo significant changes.

All internal organs began to fail, the pupils became cloudy, and even the blood flow slowed down.

Before receiving life energy, these individuals were at least Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

However, at this moment, their cultivation levels began to plummet, and they quickly fell below the level of a five-star Dou Sheng.

The aura emanating from the Soul Emperor began to surge, quickly reaching the level of a half-emperor.

Xiao Yang certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch.

He wanted to sabotage everything.

However, the Soul Emperor used his methods to firmly stop him and those puppets.

Because the Soul Emperor knew that Xiao Yang's mastery of formations was extremely high.

Therefore, the Soul Emperor had no intention of using a defensive formation.

He directly used the simplest and most brutal energy shield for defense!

This can only be dealt with by force.

The Soul Emperor directly used a large amount of life energy to form this protective shield.

The crimson energy transformed into a blood lotus, enveloping the Soul Clan members within it.

The crimson energy from the sky continued to fall, surging towards the blood lotus.

A strong, pungent smell of blood began to permeate the air.

As the crimson energy in the sky increased, it began to condense into a deluge of blood droplets, falling from the sky like a torrential downpour.

The Yang Realm land surrounding the Soul Clan was now stained red.

This gave the earth a faint aura of evil.

Xiao Yang had no idea where the Soul Emperor had obtained such an evil formation.

He even suspected that it might have been left behind by an extraterrestrial evil race.

The Dou Qi Continent must have been invaded by extraterrestrial evil races in the past.

Otherwise, how could so many ancient Dou Di have died?

Even a Dou Sheng can live for thousands of years, let alone a Dou Di.

Moreover, if it weren't for the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil race, those ancient Dou Di would not have needed to risk preventing their descendants from breaking through by forcibly sealing the Dou Qi Continent.

Besides, the Dou Qi Continent is not without traces of extraterrestrial evil races.

For example, the Devouring Spirit Clan.

This was definitely left behind by an extraterrestrial evil race.

Therefore, Xiao Yang was not surprised that the Soul Clan obtained some items left behind by the extraterrestrial evil race.

This Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Array is very likely a remnant left behind by the extraterrestrial evil race.

After all, this is too similar to the style of the extraterrestrial evil race!

At this moment, a large number of puppets surrounded the blood lotus and began to attack it continuously.

As time went by, cracks soon began to appear on the blood lotus.

Upon seeing the cracks on the blood lotus, the Soul Emperor's expression immediately changed.

He hadn't expected Xiao Yang's puppets to be of such high quality!

Generally speaking, puppets of the same level are no match for cultivators.

After all, most puppets lack intelligence, and Xiao Yang's puppets are no exception.

Moreover, because puppets lack souls and are mostly unable to use combat techniques, their fighting style is very limited.

Xiao Yang's beast puppets were indeed unable to use combat techniques.

They can only attack the Blood Lotus with their powerful physical bodies.

However, Soul Emperor was shocked to discover that Xiao Yang's humanoid puppets could actually use fighting techniques!

Under the combined attacks of numerous puppets and Xiao Yang and Xiao Xuan, the Blood Lotus was on the verge of collapse.

Although the Soul Emperor's aura was still rising, he had not yet completely broken free from the realm of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng and reached the level of a Half-Emperor.

After all, the gap between a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng and a Half-Emperor is enormous.

As the cracks on the blood lotus multiplied, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in the eyes of the Soul Emperor.

The next moment, he formed another hand seal.

Immediately afterwards, the Soul Clan elders brought by the Soul Emperor turned into pools of blood one by one without any warning!

Some of this blood flowed towards the Soul Emperor, merging into his body and transforming into pure energy.

The other part surged towards the surrounding blood lotuses.

Under the nourishment of this blood, the cracks on the blood lotus began to gradually heal.

Moreover, this blood lotus has become increasingly alluring.

As the Soul Clan members died, the Blood Lotus shrank slightly, making it even more defensive.

The Xiao family members were all shocked by this scene.

They never expected the Soul Emperor to be so ruthless!

This is a Battle Saint that the Soul Clan has accumulated over thousands of years!
