Deep in the void, the violent energy of heaven and earth made the space appear strangely Yuan and Emperor Hun Tian stood in the center of the storm. The space where they were located was strangely calm. The two looked at each other and neither of them continued to fight. With their strength at this level, it was not an easy matter to really determine the winner or even life or death... Unless they really gave up all attempts to fight to the death!
But the key point is that neither of them wants to fight to that extent.
At this moment, Gu Yuan also calmed down. He knew very well that it was impossible to kill Emperor Hun Tian here. With the opponent's strength, if he wanted to leave, he would not be able to stop him at all. And the most critical point was that once the fight reached that point, the two races would enter into an all-out war!
He must consider whether such a price is worth it and whether he can afford it.
The three tribes of Lei, Yan, and Yao have now all determined that the Ancient Tribe destroyed the Spirit Tribe and the Stone Tribe. The Ancient Tribe is speechless and has no way of clearing itself of suspicion, nor can it persuade the three tribes to join forces with the Ancient Tribe to deal with the Soul Tribe. In fact, given the attitude of the three tribes, it is very likely that they will just stand by and watch, expecting the Ancient Tribe and the Soul Tribe to fight to the death, preferably with both sides suffering losses and perishing.
The current situation forced Gu Yuan into a dilemma. If he had kept the Emperor Jade in his hands before, he could have taken the initiative. But who could have thought that Void Devouring Flame would steal the Emperor Jade right under his nose!
He really treated the ancient world as his back garden!
"Are you going to fight or not? If not, I will return to the Soul Realm... Next I have to consider how to deal with the three tribes, and I don't have time to waste on the Ancient Tribe." Emperor Hun Tian said with a faint smile on his face, with a murderous look on his face.
"I won't let you succeed!" Gu Yuan said in a sonorous and powerful voice, his eyes firm and resolute.
"You can't stop me. I will make the three tribes hand over the Emperor Jade to me!" Emperor Hun Tian smiled strangely. As his words fell, his face suddenly turned pale. At the same time, his breath instantly weakened. A trickle of bright red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Gu Yuan with a playful look.
When Gu Yuan saw this scene, he was shocked, but before he could do anything, Emperor Hun Tian suddenly tore the space apart, and an angry roar resounded through the void.
"Gu Yuan! This matter will never be let go like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Yao Yan, who had not yet reacted, across the space and took him away. At the same time, he did not forget to send a message to the patriarchs of the three tribes: "Hurry up and retreat, Gu Yuan has already touched the half-emperor level and cannot be defeated!"
His figure flashed out of thin air, and he disappeared from everyone's sight with Yao Yan.
However, his injured appearance scared many people, especially the patriarchs of the three tribes. They always believed that Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan were equally matched. After all, Emperor Hun Tian's battle record was traceable. A thousand years ago, he led the elders of the tribe to drag the Half-Emperor Xiao Xuan to death. But now he was no match for Gu Yuan. They even said that Gu Yuan had also reached the Half-Emperor level.
This incident was indeed a bit scary, but it also connected many things together, such as why the Ancient Clan suddenly became so radical and destroyed the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan without making a sound... Everything had the best explanation!
Gu Yuan wants to break through to Doudi!!
"Let's go!" Lei Ying did not stay for long. He looked at Gu Yuan who walked out of the void with vigilant eyes. With his strength, he naturally could not judge Gu Yuan's realm, but Emperor Hun Tian was "defeated" very realistically, so he did not dare to stay any longer, and even questioned Gu Yuan. He directly led the Thunder Clan army to retreat into the void.
The Yan Clan and the Yao Clan followed closely behind, neither wanting to fight to the death with the Gu Clan!
As murderous as he came, he left as swiftly.
Gu Yuan watched all this, he didn't expect that Emperor Hun Tian would plot against him before leaving, but Emperor Hun Tian's final plot gave him a headache, because he had already anticipated Emperor Hun Tian's next move. He would definitely unite the three tribes to fight against the Gu tribe, and then find an opportunity to backstab the three tribes and make the three tribes follow in the footsteps of the Lingshi and Lingshi tribes.
It must be said that Emperor Hun Tian’s plan was very good and he had already completed most of it. The ancient clan, including him, did not even have a chance to explain.
at the moment.
In the eyes of the three clans, Gu Yuan was already an unrivaled strong man who had reached the level of half-emperor, and he also held four pieces of emperor jade in his hands. He would definitely take action against the three clans next... Everything forced the three clans to turn to the Soul Clan.
"Chief! You have broken through to the semi-emperor level?!" Gu Lie came closer at this moment, his eyes showing surprise. Even the Black Annihilation Army on one side were looking at Gu Yuan fanatically.
This scene made Gu Yuan's mouth twitch.
"Father?" Gu Xun'er came to Gu Yuan's side, her cold eyes filled with some inquiry. She knew that her father's realm should not have reached the level of Half-Emperor. It was not that he did not have the talent and ability, but that the world was no longer capable of producing a Half-Emperor-level strongman.
Unless one learns from Xiao Xuan of the Xiao clan, sacrifices the entire clan, and gathers all the blood power into one, perhaps the shackles can be broken!
"Let's talk about it when we get back..." Gu Yuan said helplessly. This matter could not be explained clearly in a few words. He was suddenly glad that the Xiao clan's imperial jade had disappeared, otherwise Emperor Hun Tian would have really won!
If you want to open the Tushe Ancient Emperor Cave, all eight pieces of imperial jade are indispensable!
This is also the reason why Gu Yuan did not choose to fight to the end... because there is still hope.
……
Soul world.
As Emperor Hun Tian brought Yao Yan in, the Soul Clan's protective formation was activated. A pitch-black light curtain enveloped the entire realm, as if guarding against a sudden attack from the ancient clan. This scene also made the descendants of the Soul Clan look terrified. After all, the Soul Clan's protective formation had not been activated for a thousand years.
The last time it was opened was when the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan went to war.
Could it be that the Soul Clan is going to go to war with a certain Imperial Clan again? !
The thoughts of the lower-class people naturally cannot affect the Soul Clan's top leaders. Moreover, all of this has been planned thousands of years ago, and now it is just the beginning.
"Clan leader, are you okay?" Yao Yan couldn't help but ask when he saw Emperor Hun Tian's pale face.
"Of course I'm fine, I was just fooling those idiots from the three tribes~" Emperor Hun Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled faintly, and his expression instantly returned to normal, even his weak breath returned to its peak, it was obvious that the injury was just a scam.
"What about Gu Yuan..." Yao Yan was stunned when he heard this and asked.
"He has not yet reached that level. Do you remember what I told you before? The Douluo Continent is in a stage of continuous decline. Today's Douluo Continent is no longer capable of producing a semi-emperor-level powerhouse. To be more precise, this condition did not exist a thousand years ago, and it is still declining. Perhaps in a few hundred years, even a nine-star Douluo may not be born on the Douluo Continent..." Emperor Hun Tian said slowly, his voice a little low.
"Time is running out. If I continue to wait, I am worried that even if I open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave, I may not be able to break through to the Dou Emperor level... At least I can still give it a try for now."
Yao Yan nodded slightly, and said nothing more, standing silently beside Emperor Hun Tian. At this moment, the void in front of him slowly split open, and with the lingering black flames, the figure of Void Swallowing Flame stepped out of it, with a cold and solemn look, looking at Emperor Hun Tian, and said: "There is a bad news and a good news, which one do you want to hear?!"
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Hun Tian's eyes narrowed slightly and the smile on his lips disappeared.
"The imperial jades that opened the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave have been retrieved, but unfortunately there are only four pieces, and the Xiao clan's imperial jade is not included. According to the chess piece, the Gu clan has never obtained the Xiao clan's imperial jade... To be more precise, Gu Yuan has never touched the Xiao clan's imperial jade, and he even stopped the Gu clan's elders from seeking this imperial jade!" Void Tunyan said lightly, and at the same time, he cut through the void and handed the four imperial jades to Emperor Hun Tian.
“?!” Emperor Hun Tian was really shocked this time. He didn’t expect Gu Yuan to be so conservative. The Xiao clan was gone, but the Gu clan actually let the Xiao clan’s imperial jade wander outside. What the hell was this train of thought?
However, this incident also reflects a problem from the side, that is, Gu Yuan really has no idea about the Dou Emperor.
outrageous.
“As for the remaining branches of the Xiao clan, the Gu clan has also checked and found that there is no real imperial jade, only a fake one.” Xuwu Tunyan continued.
Emperor Hun Tian's face darkened, and his good mood for plotting against Gu Yuan was gone. Everything he had planned was perfect, but despite all his calculations, he had not expected that the Xiao clan's imperial jade, which was supposed to be in the hands of the Gu clan, was actually lost... How could he find it? !
"Is this Xiao Xuan's backup plan?" he said coldly.
Emperor Hun Tian could only suspect this. If Xiao Xuan wanted to cut off the path for his descendants and deliberately hid the Emperor Jade, there was really nothing he could do.
"It shouldn't be. I met Xiao Xuan once in the Heavenly Tomb. During that time, Gu Xun'er asked Xiao Xuan this question, and his answer was that he didn't know. As for whether the Gu clan found the Xiao clan's imperial jade later, I'm not sure!" Yao Yan spoke at this moment, and said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Hun Tian glanced at Yao Yan with a cold gaze and said, "Why are you saying this now?!"
"I didn't expect the clan leader's plan to be executed so quickly, and it's useless even if I tell him about it. If the ancient clan can find it, then everything will be the best. If they can't find it, even if I tell the clan leader, it won't change anything." Yao Yan explained calmly.
This explanation was obviously a bit far-fetched, but Emperor Hun Tian didn't have the time to worry about it now. He still needed Yao Yan to refine pills for him, so he naturally wouldn't make the relationship too stiff. He looked at Xuwu Tunyan again.
"What's the good news?!"
"When I came back, I met two people from the Xiao clan~" There seemed to be black flames flashing in Xuwu Tunyan's eyes, which made the smile on his face become somewhat eerie and terrifying. As his words fell, the void on one side cracked again, and at the same time, two figures fell out of it and fell to the ground.
Those two people were Xiao Ning and Xiao Chen!
Seeing the two of them being captured by Void Devouring Flame, Yao Yan was a little surprised. He didn't know whether to say that these two people were lucky or that they were unlucky.
"Emperor Hun Tian!" Xiao Chen was not unconscious, but his breath was extremely weak. The fighting spirit in his body was drained by the Void Devouring Flame, leaving him with only a little strength to speak. The moment he saw Emperor Hun Tian, a brutal murderous intent surged from him.
"Blood Axe Xiao Chen... you are still alive?" Emperor Hun Tian looked at the person in front of him, and his expression changed a little. He was not unfamiliar with this cousin of Xiao Xuan. Thousands of years ago, Xiao Chen was very famous among all the tribes. He was a fighting maniac. Young people from all the tribes died in his hands. His talent was also excellent and he was expected to step into the level of Nine-Star Fighting Saint.
And then nothing happened. The other party suddenly disappeared without a trace. The Xiao clan even sent people to search for him, but unfortunately there was no news.
I didn't expect that the other party would appear again, and appear in front of me in this form.
Damn it, I shouldn’t have joined in the fun!!!
Xiao Ning was shocked at this moment, his heart was filled with fear and regret. He thought that there would be a shocking war between the races, and with the help of his ancestor Xiao Chen, he might be able to take advantage of it. If he was lucky, he might be able to gather the blood power of all races at once, and use it to rise to prominence, and even surpass Yao Yan who had the blood of five races!
Unfortunately, he was awakened by a slap from the dream halfway through by the Void Devouring Flame... He and Xiao Chen hid in the space, and were then swallowed up by a mysterious black flame. No matter what means they used, they could not break the seemingly fragile black flame. Even the fighting spirit in their bodies was constantly dissipating and was swallowed up by the strange black flame until it was completely sucked dry.
"Does he have the Xiao clan's Emperor Jade?" Emperor Hun Tian was not interested in Xiao Chen. He was only interested in the Emperor Jade. The plan had already begun and it was obviously impossible to terminate it. He also did not have that much time to waste.
"He's not here, but you can try to summon his soul to see if you can cause fluctuations in the Xiao clan's imperial jade." Void Swallowing Flame said slowly.
Each clan's imperial jade has the tradition of the clan leader leaving a soul mark. Therefore, each clan's imperial jade contains extraordinary soul power. If summoned by the soul of a clan member, it will cause a response from the imperial jade.
"But after a thousand years, the Xiao clan's imperial jade has most likely passed through many hands, and the Xiao clan's soul power remaining in it may not be pure... I'm not sure whether it can be summoned, but it should be able to cause some fluctuations."
"It's okay, just give it a try and you'll know." Emperor Hun Tian said decisively without any hesitation.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Yao Yan's heart tightened, but he calmed down after a moment, because he is no longer the same person he used to be. Even if Tushe Ancient Emperor Cave and Xiao Clan Emperor Jade are exposed together, it doesn't matter.
"Then let's start from Zhongzhou!" Void Devouring Flame said coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently clenched it towards Xiao Chen. The terrible black flame instantly covered Xiao Chen's whole body. The black flame exuded a terrible devouring power. In a breath, it annihilated Xiao Chen's body and ignited Xiao Chen's soul at the same time. The miserable screams instantly resounded throughout the entire mountain.
In response to this, Emperor Hun Tian's expression did not change. He just closed his eyes, and a vast soul force covered Zhongzhou, trying to sense the fluctuations of the Xiao clan's emperor jade!
"Ahh! Emperor Hun Tian, you shall not die a horrible death!" The pain of a burning soul was simply irresistible, and Xiao Chen let out a shrill cry of pain. Resentful words kept coming out of his mouth. It was difficult to connect him at this moment with Blood Axe Xiao Chen, which showed what kind of pain he was suffering at this moment.
But he soon became quiet because the black flame had blocked his mouth. He was covered from inside to outside by the black flame, turning into a human-shaped candle, swaying with the black flame.
Xiao Ning was frightened when he saw his ancestor's soul being set on fire. He immediately looked at Yao Yan as if begging for mercy. Perhaps because he was most familiar with Yao Yan, he wanted to beg him. Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, his body was covered by a ball of black flames.
"This person is a descendant of the Xiao clan of this generation. His soul may be more suitable than Xiao Chen's... Let's try it together." Void Devouring Flame said indifferently, and then directly burned Xiao Ning's body and ignited his soul at the same time.
After finishing all this, he glanced at Yao Yan casually, as if he knew something.
Yao Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he was mumbling in his heart... (End of this chapter)
