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

The Pei sisters immediately understood what Xiao Li meant. They stood behind Xiao Li and activated their clan markings to transfer their fighting spirit to him.

Xiao Li's aura instantly surged to the peak of the sixth-level Dou Zun.

"Take this! The Wrath of the Emperor!"

Xiao Li unleashed his fighting spirit and soul power to the extreme! Xiao Li's hand seals changed with lightning speed, and the soul power between his brows suddenly surged out, transforming into a huge phantom that was hundreds of feet tall.

The phantom completely enveloped Xiao Li's body, and as the phantom formed its hand seal, it suddenly opened its giant mouth. Instantly, a terrifying and strange wave burst out from its mouth like a storm!

hum-

As the strange syllables came from the mouth of the huge phantom, the world seemed to fall silent in an instant. A moment later, the expressions of the two Soul Clan Battle Saints changed rapidly, their eyes flashing with extreme surprise. Then, the overwhelming and terrifying sound wave impact came!

Emperor's Wrath, a high-level Heaven-rank battle skill, is a type of sonic battle skill! It is the highest-level battle skill among the Xiao Clan's inherited battle skills, and it is also one of the high-level Heaven-rank battle skills passed down by the Xiao Clan's Battle Emperor. Emperor's Wrath is the battle skill that Emperor Xiao is most skilled in!

This move is Xiao Li's true trump card! It's also a fighting technique that Xiao Kong forced Xiao Li to learn!

Emperor's Wrath can be said to be the true core inherited fighting technique of the Xiao Clan, equivalent to the Ancient Emperor Mirror of the Ancient Clan!

However, Xiao Li is still a Transcendent Dou Zun. He can still use low-level Heaven-rank Dou Techniques, but using high-level Heaven-rank Dou Techniques is too difficult.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh—Damn it, I'll destroy you!"

After withstanding the Emperor's Wrath, both Soul Clan Battle Saints suffered considerable injuries, but more importantly, they suffered psychological trauma.

Xiao Li was also in a bad situation. His fighting spirit was almost depleted, his soul power was over-consumed, and he was bleeding from all seven orifices. The Pei sisters behind Xiao Li were also in bad shape, having consumed eighty or ninety percent of their fighting spirit!

"go to hell!"

Two Soul Clan Battle Saints unleashed their full power, aiming to reduce Xiao Li to dust. Xiao Li's body was already limp, powerless to resist.

Xiao Li struggled to raise his head, filled with resentment. He had cultivated diligently for so many years, all to prevent this from happening.

"Damn it! Yuhan and Yurou, take Grandpa and get out of here!"

After Xiao Li finished speaking, he saw Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou blocking his way.

"My husband, we'll accompany you on your journey to the underworld. It's such a pity about Yu'er and Xue'er." Pei Yuhan held Xiao Li's head and a line of clear tears flowed down her face. It was enough for her to die with the person she loved most. It was a pity that she couldn't watch her children grow up.

"Demon Thunder Palm!"

Xiao Ting stood in front of everyone, unleashing his most powerful fighting technique! The clan mark between his brows was brought to its fullest potential!

However, the powerful Demonic Thunder Palm was no match for a Dou Sheng; it didn't even cause a ripple.

"Is it over just like that?" Xiao Li said dejectedly. He watched as the attacks of the two Dou Sheng slowly descended, getting closer and closer. If they were hit by this move, they would both be blasted into nothingness.

laugh--

Just as the attacks of Hun Diao and his companion were still half a foot away from the group, they suddenly froze!

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Xiao Li's eyes.

"The Soul Clan! Still as despicable as ever! How dare they bully the people of my Xiao Clan?"

A faint voice, imbued with an ancient aura, suddenly and slowly resounded in this space. As this voice rang out, the time manipulation cast by Hun Diao and his companion instantly crumbled.

"Xiao Xuan?!"

Upon seeing this figure, Xiao Li, Pei Yuhan, Pei Yurou, and Xiao Ting all trembled violently. A strange fluctuation suddenly arose within their bloodlines, a fluctuation that carried an extremely familiar feeling.

Looking at that incredibly tall and imposing back, Xiao Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed into Pei Yuhan's arms.

Chapter 204 Casually Kills a Soul Clan Battle Saint

"The Soul Clan. What a repulsive bloodline."

The figure emerged, raised his head, and revealed a face that was not extremely handsome, but always gave people a special taste. He had black hair shawl, and a pair of pupils as black as ink, as deep as a black hole. It is filled with a strange wisdom and an intoxicating charm.

If Xiao Li stood next to him, they might be mistaken for father and son.

"Xiao Xuan!"

Hun Diao and the other two stared intently at the face that was so familiar to them, their eyes filled with shock and fear. Although they were Dou Sheng experts, they were only one-star Dou Sheng, and were nothing but ants in front of Xiao Xuan. Back then, Xiao Xuan had killed a six-star Dou Sheng elder with a single finger in front of them!

Back then, the Soul Clan mobilized the entire clan to besiege the Xiao Clan. After the main force of the Xiao Clan fled, this group of people stayed behind to watch Xiao Xuan. The two of them were directly killed by the aftershocks of the battle, and Xiao Xuan didn't even look at them properly.

Hun Diao immediately did a quick calculation, and in that brief moment, his heart sank to ashes!

Xiao Xuan is powerful, but he is also suppressed by the Heavenly Tomb. He cannot leave the tomb at any time, but can only leave once every ten years. The past two years were Xiao Xuan's ten-year period, but Xiao Xuan did not leave the tomb that time. The fact that Xiao Xuan has appeared now means that this Xiao Xuan is the real body (energy body) who has come in person!

Even the Heavenly Tomb couldn't restrain Xiao Xuan; they were completely finished this time.

"broken!"

Xiao Xuan slowly raised his palm and gently shook hands with Hun Diao and the other two.

Suddenly, the entire space within a radius of a thousand feet collapsed, and an invisible giant hand suddenly took shape, then casually patted the two Soul Clan Battle Saints.

A massive fiery hand, thousands of feet in size, slammed down lightly, and the entire world trembled violently as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Huge cracks spread from the ground, eventually reaching far into the distance.

"That scoundrel, he's out again! Run!"

Xiao Xuan's grand display naturally attracted the attention of all the energy entities on the third level. When they sensed Xiao Xuan's aura, their expressions immediately turned panicked. The surrounding energy entities all concealed their auras, their bodies gradually becoming ethereal, and finally shrinking into the ground to lie dormant.

boom--

The giant fiery hand struck out, and the two Soul Clan Battle Saints instinctively wanted to escape, but their abilities clearly indicated that they did not possess the ability to successfully escape from Xiao Xuan's hands.

Wherever that giant fiery hand passed, even space itself was shattered!

boom--

The giant fiery hand did not actually strike the two people. Instead, when it was about a hundred feet away from the Soul Clan's Battle Saint, the giant fiery hand suddenly unleashed a terrifying gust of wind, directly piercing through space!

Finally, the powerful gust of wind struck the two Soul Clan Battle Saints. Their bodies shuddered violently, and before they could even utter a scream, they exploded into nothingness with a bang, leaving not even a trace.

The giant fiery hand shattered the two Soul Clan Battle Saints, finally landing on the ground. Instantly, the earth trembled, and dust billowed up. After a while, the dust settled, revealing a massive, bottomless abyss thousands of feet in size.

"Truly terrifying! Is this what top-tier powerhouses are like? Those two Dou Sheng were so easily defeated?" Pei Yuru exclaimed. At this moment, she carried Xiao Li on her back and looked at Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan's power seemed to be as vast as the heavens and earth!

In the sky, after casually dispatching the two Soul Clan members, Xiao Xuan turned around and looked at the four people in front of him.

As Xiao Xuan watched, the blood in Pei Yuhan, Pei Yurou, and Xiao Ting seemed to flow faster and faster in that instant, and then a purplish-red rune automatically appeared between their eyebrows.

Upon seeing the familiar rune, a relieved smile finally appeared on Xiao Xuan's face. The smile wasn't deep, but it gave the three of them a sense of kinship.

"The Xiao clan, finally someone has come. My years of waiting have not been in vain."

Xiao Xuan slowly walked through the void and came to the front of everyone. His voice contained a hint of relief and a hint of liberation.

At this moment, Xiao Ting was extremely excited. He immediately knelt on both knees in the void and performed the most solemn salute in the Xiao family to Xiao Xuan.

"Unworthy descendant Xiao Ting! Greetings, ancestor!"

Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou exchanged a glance and bowed deeply to Xiao Xuan.

"Pei Yuhan, Pei Yurou, greet our ancestors."

"Xiao Ting, Pei Yuhan, Pei Yurou, aren't you surnamed Pei but Xiao? You all carry strange melodies; could you possibly be descendants of that little girl?"

Xiao Xuan looked at everyone and nodded in satisfaction. Although they did not share the same surname, they all had the Xiao clan's crest between their eyebrows and were all of Xiao clan blood. Xiao Xuan was very satisfied with this.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Li on Pei Yurou's back and asked, "What's this child's name?"

His name is...

Xiao Xuan interrupted, "Let's talk at my tomb first. I want to hear this child introduce himself."

With a flick of his finger, Xiao Xuan led everyone to the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb. He was here in his true form (energy body), so he could naturally unleash a great deal of his power.

Deep within the Heavenly Tomb

Xiao Xuan led everyone to a place where the surroundings were as black as ink. The light here was extremely dim, and standing here was like standing in a void, which would make people feel panicked.

Xiao Xuan pointed to an ancient stone tablet in front of him. The tablet stood alone in this dark area, lonely and desolate.

"This is my tomb."

The three gazed at the ancient stone tablet. Even after countless years, the tablet still exuded an indescribable aura. This aura was not strong, but it gave their souls an irresistible tremor.

"Let's go in." Xiao Xuan led the group into the stone tablet. As soon as the three of them touched the stone tablet, they felt a connection to each other through blood. A circle of light spread out from the stone tablet, enveloping the four of them. Finally, when the light dissipated, the four of them completely disappeared from this world.

. . . . . .

As the light faded, Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou opened their eyes and saw an ancient palace standing before them.

"I never expected to see this scene behind the stone tablet. It's truly amazing," Pei Yuru exclaimed.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan stood in the center of the main hall with his hands behind his back. In front of him was a pool of crystal-clear water, with lotus flowers floating on it, exuding a faint fragrance.

Xiao Xuan looked at the unconscious Xiao Li, smiled slightly, and pointed his finger, sending a surge of rich energy into Xiao Li's body.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Li's energy was completely restored, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Where is this? Yuhan, Yurou? Have we arrived in the underworld?" Xiao Li rubbed his head, feeling a little dizzy.

Pei Yuhan helped Xiao Li up: "We didn't die, it was Senior Xiao Xuan who saved us?"

Xiao Li shook his head to come to his senses. Looking at the man in blue before him, he bowed and said, "Xiao Li, a descendant of a younger generation, greets ancestor Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xiao Li? That's a good name. He can cultivate to the fourth level of Dou Zun without the bloodline of Dou Di! He's really amazing. Can you tell me how the Xiao Clan is doing now?"

Xiao Li sighed: "The Xiao clan is gone. Now there is only a declining Xiao family and the descendants of the Xiao clan in Yin Gu..."

Chapter 205 The Fate of Yin and Yang Flames

(P.S.: The third update will be a little late; I'm still thinking of ideas.)

Xiao Li told Xiao Xuan about the Xiao family's affairs, including the various changes that had befallen the family, their exile to the Northwest Continent, the preparations Xiao Li had made for the Xiao family, and the resurrection of Xiao Kong.

“I had expected the Xiao clan to decline to this state, but at least there were still some remnants of its lineage. I didn’t expect the Grand Elder to still be alive. That’s wonderful. With a good child like you and the protection of the Grand Elder, the Xiao clan is not yet in a state of true despair.”

Xiao Xuan came to Xiao Li's side and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

“I discovered you as soon as you entered the Heavenly Tomb. I have seen your performance along the way. Although you do not have the bloodline of the Dou Di, you are still the most outstanding children.”

Xiao Xuan was generous with his praise. After all, in his view, it was already a blessing from heaven that the Xiao clan, whose bloodline of Dou Di had completely disappeared, could still produce a few Dou Zun.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Li: "I suppose the Grand Elder has already told you about the decline of the Xiao Clan back then, right? The reason for it all was that I was too arrogant back then, thinking that I was destined by heaven, and as a result, I let everyone down and let down the Xiao Clan."

Xiao Xuan felt very dejected at this moment, after all, he was largely responsible for the decline of the Xiao clan.

“Ancestor, that was a last resort. At such a critical moment, we had to go all out!” Xiao Li said firmly.

"You seem to have a very open mind about things. But with you around, the Xiao Clan will only get better and better. You have great talent and are a very high-ranking alchemist. Your soul power has even reached the Heavenly Realm! You are truly outstanding."

Xiao Xuan looked Xiao Li up and down and said with satisfaction, "Your talent is excellent, just like mine was back then, and even your appearance is just as excellent as mine."

Perhaps it was because he had been lonely for a long time, or because he had been reunited with his clansmen, or because he had heard the news that his old friends were still alive, Xiao Xuan seemed particularly "funny" at this moment.

Xiao Xuan finally looked into Xiao Li's body: "You actually subdued the Yin-Yang Twin Flames? Hmm? They seem somewhat familiar, could it be?"

Xiao Xuan extracted the Yin-Yang Twin Flames from Xiao Li's body. The Yin-Yang Twin Flames transformed into a black and white fire dragon. The fire dragon looked at Xiao Xuan, and then at Xiao Li.

"Hmm? Why are there two bosses? Why does the older one here look so familiar?" the fire dragon said in human language.

Xiao Xuan carefully examined the Yin-Yang Twin Flames: "Their intelligence is so high? So that's how it is? Interesting, perhaps this is fate?"

Xiao Li asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly: "Back then, I also had a Yin-Yang Twin Flame, which was the predecessor of your Yin-Yang Twin Flame. After I failed to advance to Dou Di, I stayed behind alone to cover the retreat, intending to kill Hun Tian Di."

At that time, I detonated the three strange flames within my body. Your Yin-Yang Twin Flames should be a trace of the original essence left after the explosion of the strange flames. After many years of recovery, it has become a brand new strange flame.

The Yin-Yang Twin Flames were also my first extraordinary flame. I nurtured it with great care, and even with only a trace of its original essence remaining, it will still be close to the bloodline of the Xiao clan. So, you must have found it quite easy to subdue these Yin-Yang Twin Flames, right?

Xiao Li pondered for a moment: "Yes, it is particularly affectionate towards me. Back then, I rashly absorbed two strange flames, thinking that the sub-flame of one strange flame would not affect the absorption of the complete strange flame. As a result, it triggered a strange flame riot, and in the end, Yin Yang saved my life."

Xiao Xuan looked at the Yin-Yang Twin Flames: "No wonder, you're really bold. I only managed to contain three different flames after reaching the advanced Dou Sheng level. How dare you contain two different flames when you're weak? Even if they are just a division of different flames, they are incompatible."

Your Yin-Yang Twin Flames actually contain the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flames. You must have allowed it to devour the essence of other strange flames before, right? That's why your Yin-Yang Twin Flames possess such exceptional intelligence.

Xiao Li asked in surprise, "You can recognize all of these?"

Xiao Xuan laughed and said, "How could I not recognize you? Back then, I had three different flames in my body: Yin Yang Twin Flames, Volcanic Stone Flame, and Three Thousand Burning Flames. At that time, the Xiao Clan also had a Fallen Heart Flame."

"Impressive! This is truly the peak moment for our Xiao clan."

Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "You've all come here to inherit the bloodline of the Dou Di, right? Have you decided who wants to go first?"

Xiao Li shook his head and said, "Our ancestors do not intend to inherit the bloodline of the Dou Di this time."

"Hmm? Why?" Xiao Xuan frowned.
