Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master.

"This is... an ancient Devouring Insect!"

Ancient Devouring Worms are small magical beasts that lived in ancient times. They are extremely small in size, but their numbers are endless. As the name suggests, they can devour everything and then continuously secrete pure energy. Originally, such creatures should have become extinct long ago, but I never expected to encounter them here.

Xiao Li quickly summoned the strange fire and used it to envelop everyone and the Heavenly Demon Puppet. The envelopment consisted of two layers: a gentle yang fire that enveloped everyone's bodies, and a powerful yin fire that enveloped the yang fire from the outside.

Even the Heavenly Demon Puppet was covered by the Yin-Yang Heart Flame. These ancient devouring insects eat everything, so the Heavenly Demon Puppet was undoubtedly a buffet for them. Xiao Li couldn't bear to part with so many puppets. He had collected them for a long time and couldn't let them go to waste.

laugh--

Just as Xiao Li had expected, no matter how powerful the ancient devouring insects were, they could not devour the strange fire. Once they came into contact with the Yin fire, they turned into ashes in an instant.

However, this undoubtedly put a huge strain on Xiao Li himself. Controlling the strange fire like clothing requires extremely strong fire control techniques and extremely strong soul power.

"Taking pills!"

Xiao Li felt that his fighting spirit was greatly depleted, so he immediately took an eighth-grade six-colored pill to restore his fighting spirit.

After traveling for about half an hour, Xiao Li had already consumed four Rank 8 pills.

As the Heavenly Demon Puppet's fist slammed into the passage, the entire passage trembled violently. Then, a small crack suddenly appeared on the crystal wall, which quickly expanded.

"We've reached the finish line!"

Chapter 202 Battle Against a Half-Saint's Energy Body

(The third update will be released later.)

This was a vast, endless expanse of gray land that came into view.

This land is so vast that you can't even see the end at a glance. There is not too much energy mist lingering here.

When Xiao Li and the others stepped onto this spot, they could feel streams of pure energy continuously seeping into their bodies through the soles of their feet.

"The energy here is truly astounding."

The third level of this Heavenly Tomb is indeed far superior to the first two levels. With this kind of energy infusion, even without searching for energy cores, one should be able to achieve good cultivation results.

"The third level is indeed extraordinary. No wonder it's a sacred place for cultivation. It's a pity that such a good place has been occupied by the ancient clans. I must take it back in the future!" Xiao Li said, sensing the rich energy around him.

"Where do we go next?"

Xiao Li looked at the map: "Xiao Xuan's ancestor's tomb is in the deepest part. We can walk there. In this place, level eight and level nine energy bodies can be seen everywhere. We may even encounter half-saint level or Dou Sheng level energy bodies."

"If it's a half-saint, we might still be able to put up a fight, but a battle saint might not be an option."

Pei Yuhan frowned: "Then what should we do?"

Xiao Li suddenly had an idea: "I have a plan!"

"What's the plan?"

Xiao Li coughed lightly: "Ahem, Ancestor Xiao Xuan, this junior descendant of the Xiao clan has come to request your presence!"

Xiao Li shouted at the top of his lungs, even using his battle qi to amplify his voice, which echoed across the vast land.

. . . . . .

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan!"

Xiao Li felt awkward. Logically speaking, Xiao Xuan should have been able to sense them after they entered the Heavenly Tomb. Why was there no movement at all?

"It's a little awkward!" Xiao Li gave everyone an awkward yet polite smile.

Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou rubbed their foreheads speechlessly. Their husbands would occasionally have these episodes, acting like children, but thankfully most of the time they were extremely reliable.

laugh--

Suddenly, a crescent-shaped slash several hundred feet in size came crashing down!

"Great Annihilation Seal!"

Xiao Li quickly formed a hand seal, condensing a powerful handprint in his right hand, and then struck towards the slashing attack.

Boom——

As the smoke dissipated, a figure stood proudly behind it, a huge, dark red axe slung over his shoulder. A thick, pungent smell of blood emanated from the axe, swirling around him like mist.

"Hehehe, intruders! How dare you make such a racket and disturb the peace of this sacred place! You deserve to die!"

The figure chuckled strangely, emanating an extraordinary aura. It was a figure wielding a massive three-zhang-long axe, dressed in black robes, with a cold and stern face, and several scars at the corners of its mouth, giving off an extremely intense and malevolent aura.

"A semi-saint level energy body! This is troublesome!" Xiao Li looked at the burly figure and felt a little annoyed. He hadn't even called out to anyone, but he had attracted the enemy instead.

This semi-saint-level energy entity is not the kind with empty eyes and no intelligence. This energy entity retains some of its intelligence and combat experience from its previous life, making it a very troublesome existence.

Even though he is an energy body, he is still at the level of a half-saint, while Xiao Li and the others are only at the level of Dou Zun. Such an energy body is still a formidable enemy!

boom--

The figure took a step forward, and a terrifying burst of energy erupted forth. The area where Xiao Li was located was a hilly area, and the power emanating from that figure directly caused the surrounding hills to crumble.

"It's been so many years since I've tasted such tender and delicious meat. I've almost forgotten what it tastes like," the figure muttered to himself, gently twisting his neck.

"Before I make my move, let me tell you my name: I am the Blood Axe Saint, so you won't die without ever knowing who I am! Those two blond girls look like very good meat; I'll save them for last. Hehehe—"

null--

An enormous annihilation handprint slammed towards the face of the Blood Axe Saint.

"Enough with the nonsense! You dare call yourself Blood Axe?" Xiao Li instantly unleashed a Great Annihilation Seal.

The Blood Axe Saint's expression was solemn. He understood that this was a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique! Although he had forgotten what a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique was, his instincts told him that this move was very dangerous.

"hack!"

The Blood Axe Saint wielded his enormous blood axe and cleaved it down fiercely.

Boom——

A massive explosion occurred, and just when the Blood Axe Saint thought the attack was over, an iron fist came hurtling towards him.

Xiao Li was already face-to-face with the Blood Axe Saint, his fists covered in Yin Fire.

bang——

A fiery fist struck the Blood Axe Saint's face, and then the Yin Fire in Xiao Li's right hand began to grow, forming a black fireball that continued to grow larger.

"Heavenly Flame Shines! Go!"

Xiao Li pushed the fireball out, and the Blood Axe Saint was sucked in by the fireball and could not escape. As the black fireball continued to grow larger, it exploded after reaching the critical point!

Rumbling--

A mushroom cloud slowly rose.

After unleashing a series of attacks, Xiao Li's breathing became rapid, the purplish-red clan mark between his brows faded, and his aura gradually diminished.

Xiao Li took out two Rank 8 Five-Colored Pills from his storage ring and put them in his mouth to restore his fighting spirit.

"Is it resolved?" Xiao Ting asked.

"Probably not. Although a semi-saint-level energy body is not as powerful as a true semi-saint, it is still very difficult to deal with," Xiao Li said, shaking his head.

"Didn't you kill that half-saint from the Spirit Clan outside too?" Xiao Ting asked in confusion.

"That's different. That old guy was too weak. After Yuhan and Yurou controlled him, I used a sealing technique on him, sealing his battle aura. In the end, I killed him. Be careful!"

Xiao Li was still explaining when he suddenly sensed something, immediately pushed Xiao Ting away, and blocked a spot with his arm!

when--

A very crisp collision sound!

Click!

The ground cracked from the impact, and from behind the dust came a charred figure wielding a giant axe, hacking downwards! Beneath the axe, another figure used his arm to block the giant axe.

Drop~

A trickle of blood slowly flowed down from under the axe, finally dripping onto the ground.

"Hey, you've got some thick skin, managing to block my axe!" The Blood Axe Saint was in a terrible state, having taken a close-range [Heavenly Flame Sun] attack. Even as a semi-saint-level energy body, he was not unscathed.

"Hmph, you're not even a Dou Sheng yet, just a half-saint. What are you pretending to be?" Xiao Li sneered.

"Hey, still dare to talk back! Let's see how long you can hold out!" the Blood Axe Saint roared, increasing the force in his hand once more.

Xiao Li's figure was pressed down slightly, but a strange smile appeared on his face: "It's enough that you've held on until now!"

"Heavenly Sound Suppresses Soul!"

Behind the Blood Axe Saint, Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou were ready. The purplish-red Xiao Clan emblem appeared between their brows, and the appearance of the emblem allowed the two sisters to simultaneously reach the Nine-Star Dou Zun realm!

Then the two sisters held hands, their fighting spirits merged together, and they unleashed the ultimate technique of Yin Gu!

Heavenly Sound Suppresses Soul!

Heavenly Sound Soul Suppression is a low-level Heavenly Rank combat skill. The cultivator's cultivation level must be no lower than a five-star Dou Zun, and their soul realm must reach the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm or above. When Heavenly Sound Soul Suppression is used, a special melody is used to release powerful Dou Qi and soul power to launch a triple attack on the enemy!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The Blood Axe Saint left a huge opening behind him. His attention was always on Xiao Li because he thought Xiao Li was the strongest. Little did he know that the combined strength of the Pei sisters was no less than that of Xiao Li.

Chapter 203 The Emperor's Wrath! Xiao Xuan!

"Aaaaaah, I am not reconciled!"

Even if the Blood Axe Saint was unwilling, he would eventually perish. The combined attack of Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou was something that even a true half-saint could not withstand head-on.

If a demigod wants to neutralize an attack, he can only use a more advanced spatial power to dissipate it. To withstand it head-on? Even a true demigod would be in trouble if he tried to withstand it head-on, let alone this demigod-level energy body.

Xiao Li sneered, "You dare call yourself Blood Axe?"

The Blood Axe Saint's body dissipated, replaced by an energy core the size of half a fist. This semi-saint level energy core was of great benefit to Xiao Li.

However, Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou ignored the energy core and came to Xiao Li's side, looking at Xiao Li's arm with a pained expression.

At this moment, Xiao Li's arm had been slashed by the Blood Axe Saint, leaving a very deep bloody gash, but the bone was not yet visible.

"Your skin is really tough. Even with such a big axe, it only left this little scar. No wonder you can always make my sister and me suffer so much." Pei Yuru said with a pout.

Pei Yuhan looked at her younger sister speechlessly, her face slightly flushed. She then tapped Pei Yurou on the head, thinking, "She really dares to say anything."

Xiao Li looked at the wound on his arm. A few seconds later, his wound began to heal, and in the end, not even a scar was left.

"So fast?"

Xiao Li nodded: "This is the effect of cultivating the Undying Beast Body. Although I haven't activated the beast transformation yet, my physical body has reached an incredible level. The strength and recovery ability of my body have both made a qualitative leap!"

"This kind of injury, as long as it's not an attack that hinders healing, I can recover instantly."

After resting for a while, Xiao Li and the others continued to advance deeper into the Heavenly Tomb. Along the way, they encountered many more level-nine energy beings. Xiao Li didn't need to lift a finger; Pei Yuhan, Pei Yurou, and Xiao Ting could handle them all on their own.

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound came from ahead, and then two gray figures slowly landed on a boulder, looking down at everyone.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that there would be a member of the Xiao clan in this Heavenly Tomb. I thought I was mistaken."

Xiao Li looked up and in just a moment he felt an incomparable aura!

Fighting Saint!

They were two old men dressed in gray robes, with gloomy faces, their figures like ghosts.

"So the Xiao clan hasn't been completely wiped out yet? In that case, I, Hun Diao, will personally eliminate you remnants of the Xiao clan!"

The gray-robed old man named Hun Diao spoke indifferently, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Li and the Pei sisters before lingering on Xiao Li's face.

"Xiao Xuan!" In just a few breaths, the Dou Sheng named Hun Diao instantly felt a world-destroying fear!

The Dou Sheng next to Hun Diao was also startled, but then realized something: "He's not Xiao Xuan! He just looks like him. I hate that face!"

Hun Diao finally realized what was happening: "This saint is going to rip your face off and make it into a specimen!"

Xiao Li had done some work on his face when he entered the Ancient Realm. According to Ancestor Xiao Kong, he looked seven-tenths like Ancestor Xiao Xuan. Xiao Kong even suspected that Xiao Li might be a descendant of Xiao Xuan's illegitimate son.

Xiao Li knew how many people Xiao Xuan would trigger, so he made some adjustments to his appearance. Although it was still Xiao Li's face, some details were adjusted. He also had to thank the Pei sisters and Yun Yun for doing his makeup!

Unfortunately, during the previous battle with the Blood Axe Saint, Xiao Li's makeup came off.

"A Soul Clan Battle Saint! This is bad!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Li took out a Thunder Tribulation Pill that had undergone the Eight-Colored Thunder from his storage ring, and then activated his Heavenly Fire Three Transformations to the extreme, and his clan mark also opened!

"Madam, please help me!"
