Without the interference of Dragon Phoenix blood, Xiao Yan's inheritance
of the Xiao Clan's bloodline power was smoother than in the original work. After inheriting the bloodline and absorbing the power contained within it, his level reached Five Star Dou Venerate.
At this moment, only four months had passed since they entered the Heavenly Tomb, and there was still a lot of time to stay.
"Five Star Dou Venerate, a Heavenly Realm mid-stage spirit power, and a ninth grade Alchemist... This should be enough, right?" Xiao Xuan murmured to himself, deciding to put everything on Xiao Yan.
He slowly rose from his coiled position and said to Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, come with me... As for Xun'er, you can cultivate in this tombstone. This place is where the energy of the entire Heavenly Tomb is most concentrated."
Xiao Xuan left his tombstone and flew outward, with Xiao Yan following closely behind. As they were about to leave the dark area where the tombstone was located, several chains suddenly appeared on Xiao Xuan's body. The chains extended down from the high sky, their ends unseen, connecting to an unknown place.
Xiao Xuan glanced at the chains on his body and snorted coldly, "Annoying."
A burst of energy erupted from him, and the chains shattered into countless pieces with a series of explosions. However, even shattered, they remained attached to Xiao Xuan's body, never disappearing.
Xiao Xuan walked out of the depths of the Heavenly Tomb and arrived at the third layer.
"Ancestor?" A look of confusion flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. "Didn't you say you couldn't leave the depths of the Heavenly Tomb at will?"
"Indeed, I can't leave at will. The power of these things will grow stronger and stronger until I can no longer resist them, dragging me back to the deepest part. But for now, there's still some time." Xiao Xuan smiled, pointing to the chains on his body.
"I'll give you one last good fortune. If you're lucky, you might be able to break through to Emperor Realm spirit power with this opportunity."
Emperor Realm spirit power... Xiao Yan stared blankly at Xiao Xuan, who had a smile on his lips, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Currently, anything related to a Dou Emperor had become a legend. Dou Emperor, Emperor Grade medicinal pills, all impossible to appear due to the lack of "Origin Emperor Qi." Only Emperor Realm spirit power had that sliver of possibility.
However, this was also extremely difficult. Xiao Yan had only seen his teacher briefly approach this realm after igniting his own spirit power.
As for others, even Void Swallowing Flame and ninth grade golden pill did not possess Emperor Realm spirit power. He guessed that only Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi might have reached this realm.
"How, how is this possible?" Xiao Yan murmured in disbelief.
Xiao Xuan's face held a gentle smile. "There's only a sliver of a chance. Haven't you seen that monster in the Heavenly Tomb before?"
"That monstrosity?" Recalling the monster that nearly made him lose control and sent his spirit power into madness with just a glance, a faint chill couldn't help but rise in Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. The smile on his face receded slightly, replaced by a solemn and murderous expression:
"Yes, I told you before, that is a special life form condensed from countless remnant souls. It has gathered a large amount of spirit power origin. Extracting these spirit power origins might help you reach the Emperor Realm."
spirit power origin? Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. "So, the Soul Clan established the Soul Hall, persistently collecting souls for thousands of years, and extracting spirit power origin, also for someone in their clan to break through their spirit power to the Emperor Realm?"
"Probably so. It's likely for Void Swallowing Flame. He is ancient enough and formed a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with the Soul Clan a long time ago," Xiao Xuan speculated.
Xiao Xuan slowly ascended into the high sky. As he rose, the misty fog pervading the world gradually dispersed, and a terrifying pressure that made one tremble spread out, almost covering the entire Heavenly Tomb.
The energy bodies that had become chaotic and mad due to the influence of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb also regained some clarity.
"Lord Xiao Xuan, is he finally going to make a move against that monstrosity?"
All the energy bodies with a shred of rationality in their eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
In the past, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb had given them the desire to devour each other. Those with enough self-control could overcome it, but later, an anomaly occurred, and the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb also underwent a drastic change. He bestowed not only the desire to devour but a more frantic and terrifying instinct.
He turned all the energy bodies into completely mad beasts. Some even mutated, becoming ugly and distorted monsters!
Xiao Xuan stood ten thousand feet high, overlooking the land, and said in a calm voice:
"In the past, I had my mission, and thus had to preserve my useful body. Now, my thousands of years of waiting have yielded results. In the past, you all requested me to eliminate the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb. This time, I shall fulfill that wish for you..."
The gigantic human face located on the second layer of the Heavenly Tomb gazed at Xiao Xuan, who was looking down at him from high in the sky, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He no longer suppressed his madness, fully releasing his almost tangible malice:
"Eat you, eat you..."
Giant tentacles curved, then, like springs, pushed downwards, and the enormous body soared into the air, shooting towards Xiao Xuan.
Looking at the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb rushing towards him, Xiao Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a light chuckle, "In the past, when you still had your sanity, I imagine dealing with you would have been more difficult, requiring me to ignite my spirit power to be confident. But now, you're just a beast that doesn't know how to exert its power."
He dodged the tentacles that shot out like arrows and pointed a finger forward.
A gigantic finger formed from energy slammed heavily onto the face of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, forcefully repelling him.
Cracks appeared on the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb's body, as if he was about to shatter. He opened his mouth and let out a sharp shriek.
Terrifying spirit power swept towards Xiao Xuan like a storm. Within the storm, countless blade-like qi, tens of feet long, raged.
Xiao Xuan clenched his fist, took a step, and threw a punch. Terrifying power erupted, shattering the spirit power storm and smashing the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb down from the sky.
The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb let out a terrifying roar, but it sounded like a dying struggle.
He stretched out his hand, and a palm formed from spirit power fiercely plunged into the gigantic human face, as if searching for something inside his body, stirring it up.
The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb's tentacles wildly writhed, struggling to escape this predicament.
Xiao Xuan quickly formed hand seals. A transparent, slightly bluish-glowing ray shot out from his fingertips, transforming into a vast, sky-covering net that descended upon the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, trapping him.
Clusters of spirit power origin were extracted by Xiao Xuan from the body of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, while the latter quickly deflated like a leaky balloon.
The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb wailed and screamed, his voice gradually weakening, and his aura plummeted to rock bottom.
When Xiao Xuan could no longer extract any spirit power orbs, he released his restraint on the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb.
At this moment, the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb was extremely weak, his body shriveled like a mere layer of skin, and his tentacles hung limply, like a group of dying snakes.
Xiao Xuan raised his hand and struck out with a palm, shattering the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb into pieces.
The fragments scattered in all directions, transforming into glistening points of light that dissipated into the world.
The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, who had plagued countless powerful energy bodies, thus completely perished.
Xiao Xuan carried the massive spirit power orb and flew back to Xiao Yan's side, softly saying, "Let's go, return to my tombstone. I hope you succeed."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xuan's somewhat ethereal body and couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Ancestor, your body..."
Xiao Xuan smiled with abandon, "I never wanted to exist in this way. To be able to help you in my final moments is already satisfying... The Xiao Clan, it's up to you now."
