484: Recapture

In Lin Xiu's vision, the world was dyed in black ink, and boundless darkness surged towards him.

Soul Emperor's triumphant laughter was mixed in the darkness.

Facing all this,

Lin Xiu had the confidence to cope, not panicking at all, and pushed out his own power.

The scale of his power was less than one ten-thousandth compared to Soul Emperor's.

But a surprising thing happened.

After their powers touched, the darkness immediately burst into a great fire, and the flames spread rapidly with a terrifying momentum.

This speed was extremely fast; by the time Soul Emperor noticed, nearly a quarter of it had been covered by Lin Xiu.

"How is this possible?"

Soul Emperor let out a shriek, immediately mobilizing his power to converge, forming a sharp blade, as if to break through with a single point.

Because he had a larger share, he was not afraid of consumption, as long as he could find Lin Xiu's whereabouts, all crises could be resolved easily.

The actual situation did not develop as Soul Emperor had expected.

His power collided with Lin Xiu's power, just as he had collided with Lin Xiu before, but the situation between the two had reversed.

"How can this be? I Cultivate a Divine-Grade Spirit Skill that doesn't belong to this world. How can your power quality be even higher than mine?!"

Soul Emperor looked at all this in astonishment, trying his best, but still unable to change the current situation.

Impossible! This is impossible!

That adult would not lie to him; Lin Xiu's power clearly couldn't block it before. How could his power have improved so much after a period of time?

Soul Emperor roughly sensed it and found that if he wanted to contend with Lin Xiu, he would at least need to fully master the Heavenly Spirit Devouring Skill.

But how could that be... that Cultivation Technique was a Divine-Grade Spirit Skill; its transformation and mastery were destined to be a long process.

Lin Xiu did not reply, urging his power to quickly retrieve the part that Soul Emperor had encroached upon.

Soon after, Soul Emperor completely detached himself from the world.

"What's going on? I clearly felt you were close to succeeding."

The Pale Man frowned tightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Soul Emperor was equally confused, "I don't know either. Just as I was about to occupy the entire world, Lin Xiu suddenly reappeared, and his power was even stronger than mine. I had no chance to resist at all and was expelled by him."

"Impossible."

The Pale Man's voice was incredibly firm, "The power you Cultivate no longer belongs to this world. How could anyone overpower you in terms of strength?"

"That's just how it is."

Soul Emperor expressed his helplessness. He naturally knew the benefits of occupying a world and certainly wanted it.

But the problem was that this couldn't be achieved by thought alone; it still depended on strength.

The Pale Man was silent, and power suddenly surged from his body.

Immediately, crisscrossing lines appeared, covering him like shackles, as if to squeeze him out of this world.

Scarlet blood Qi surged from the man's body, attaching to those lines.

The Pale Man didn't quite believe Soul Emperor and tried to verify it himself.

At this moment, wisps of flame burned from a distance.

Bang!

The blood color ignited directly, erupting in a muffled sound.

The Pale Man's figure swayed, the appearing lines disappeared, and he re-hid in the world.

It's true!

His face was gloomy, somewhat unsightly.

This world actually also had Divine-Grade Spirit Skills, and the other party had successfully Cultivated it, even to a very proficient degree.

"How is it? Did I tell the truth?"

Soul Emperor said.

The Pale Man sighed, "What a pity. If the embryo of the plane of this world were directly in an awakened state, we would have obtained it long ago."

"What do we do now? Give up?"

Soul Emperor asked.

"You continue to Breakthrough. There's no chance for the embryo of the plane; the other party's mastery is too much higher than yours. By the time your power can catch up with his, the embryo of the plane will already be his."

The Pale Man said.

Soul Emperor was puzzled, "Why don't you directly act? Your power can't possibly be worse than Lin Xiu's."

"That's not for you to worry about."

The Pale Man had no intention of answering.

Seeing this, Soul Emperor stopped asking and instead began to concentrate on Breakthrough to Dou Di.

Thunder gathered in the sky.

The Pale Man glanced over and snorted coldly.

Immediately, the thunder dissipated.

Deep in the Void Realm, Lin Xiu grunted, a little surprised, "As expected of someone who can break into the Doupo World. Even under suppression, it's still not possible to interfere with him using the power of heaven and earth."

Earlier, Lin Xiu had wanted to test the other party, but the gap between them was too large.

This time, even after forcing Soul Emperor out, he still failed.

However, Lin Xiu did not feel despair, "Once I am promoted to Dou Di, the gap between him and me should narrow significantly."

At this moment, Lin Xiu had only completed the transformation of his Soul, but his power and Physical Body had not yet.

According to the Queen Insect's description of the 'three minor difficulties,' Lin Xiu still had two difficulties to overcome.

He needed to hurry.

Lin Xiu no longer paid attention to Soul Emperor, but instead focused more on himself... Black-Corner Region, Cultivation Alliance.

Terrifying auras emerged from the Void Realm and all arrived at a grand hall.

In the main seats, Xiao Xuan and Zhu Kun sat side by side.

And by the table were Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and others.

"Soul Emperor had a fortuitous encounter?"

Yan Jin looked at Xiao Xuan with some astonishment.

Gu Yuan and the others didn't speak, but their gazes also lingered on Xiao Xuan.

"That's right. It can currently be confirmed that after Soul Emperor escaped that day, he didn't hide, but rather encountered someone from the outside world and was taken away by them."

Xiao Xuan nodded with a solemn face.

Because Lin Xiu was not present, after he noticed something was wrong that day, he thought of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had existed for a long time, and went to inquire.

As a result, he indeed obtained useful information.

"What does 'people from the outside world' mean?"

Lei Ying asked.

Xiao Xuan pointed a finger at the sky, "Beyond our world, there are other worlds. Throughout the years, after Dou Di Breakthrough, they all went to a larger world, and now someone from that world has entered ours."

"How strong is the other party?"

A hint of worry flashed across Gu Yuan's face.

"Currently unknown, but certainly not weak. After all, those who can descend to the Lower Realm must have some ability."

Xiao Xuan said frankly, "I called everyone here this time to ask if you have any solutions."

"You've already Breakthrough to Dou Di. If you have no solution, how can we help?"

Yan Jin smiled bitterly, quite helplessly.

Zhu Kun turned his head to look at Xiao Xuan, "What is Soul Emperor's current situation? Has he Breakthrough? Have you fought him?"

"No, he used the power of heaven and earth that time."

Xiao Xuan replied.

"Alas, if only Lin Xiu were here."

Shi Chen sighed. This feeling of being completely in the dark was truly too uncomfortable.

Zhu Kun suggested, "Sitting idly is not an option. If they are strong enough, they will definitely act. There's no movement now, perhaps they are accumulating strength. We cannot give them time to grow."

"I have the same thought. If we can find Soul Emperor earlier, the trouble will definitely be minimized. I'm worried he's also Breakthrough to Dou Di."

Xiao Xuan nodded.

"In that case, everyone, send out your respective clansmen. Xiao Xuan and I will prepare a batch of Jade Slips for them in advance for self-defense. Once they encounter him, we will rush to support them in time."

Soul Emperor said.

The few people present had no objections.

The current situation was not particularly clear, but what was certain was that Soul Emperor would never let any of them go.

They all participated in the destruction of the Soul Clan.

If Soul Emperor successfully Breakthrough, he would definitely settle accounts afterward.

And the only ones who could contend were Xiao Xuan and Zhu Kun, who had Breakthrough to Dou Di.

Gu Yuan and the others could only follow their suggestions now.

Everyone then delineated their respective areas and prepared to take action.
