207: Chapter 202: Destroying the Xiao Clan Enrages Xiao Xuan

"Revenge!"

Zi Yan and Medusa had long been unable to wait. With a command from Ling Yuan, the three of them headed aggressively towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.

Along the way, the three encountered Dou Sheng energy bodies and killed them directly, proceeding without obstruction.

The further they went into the depths, and the closer they got to Xiao Xuan's tomb, the closer the surviving energy bodies' relationships were to Xiao Xuan.

Just kill them.

The remaining Two-Star Dou Sheng and Three-Star Dou Sheng energy bodies couldn't even withstand a single move from Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan collected all these energy bodies.

There were still five months left until the Heavenly Tomb ended. After settling the score with Xiao Xuan and refining all the energy bodies, he could still improve a little more.

With this efficiency, it didn't take long for the three of them to kill their way to the front of Xiao Xuan's tomb.

This was an ancient stone tablet, simple and ordinary in appearance, without any extra carvings or decorations.

However, the stone tablet radiated a heavy pressure, the scent of time washing over them, the surrounding space slightly stagnant, the Aura completely different.

The entire hinterland was empty and dead silent. Nearby Dou Sheng energy bodies dared not approach even half a step, spontaneously avoiding this area; it was undoubtedly Xiao Xuan's tomb.

Zi Yan stepped forward, hands on her hips, and shouted coquettishly at the bluestone tablet: "Xiao Xuan, come out and die!"

At the same time, Ling Yuan raised his hand to gather strength. Golden lightning surged and coiled in his palm, condensing into an extremely pure Nine Profound Golden Lightning, which he fired straight at the stone tablet.

Just as the lightning was about to touch the stone tablet, a layer of transparent, invisible Soul Power barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking the front of the tablet.

But even so, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning pierced through that barrier and crashed down directly.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

Dense fine lines instantly spread across the surface of the stone tablet. The cracks expanded rapidly outward, and the entire ancient stone tablet crumbled under the force, shattering into pieces and scattering all over the ground.

Directly shattering the stone tablet in front of Xiao Xuan's tomb was trampling on his dignity right in front of him; it was a naked humiliation.

Ling Yuan did this on purpose; he wanted to provoke Xiao Xuan.

He was unsure of the layout inside the tomb and didn't know if Xiao Xuan had any hidden ambushes.

Ling Yuan didn't want to take any risks. He wanted to deliberately provoke Xiao Xuan, forcing him to come out of the tomb to fight.

Ling Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Wisdom was also a part of strength.

Blindly putting oneself in danger was not bravery; it was stupidity.

Ling Yuan looked up at the tomb and continued to provoke him: "Xiao Xuan, formerly a top Nine-Star Dou Sheng of the continent, could it be that you have become a coward now, afraid of the few of us?"

Ling Yuan was certain that someone as proud as Xiao Xuan absolutely could not tolerate this.

Just as Ling Yuan expected, the moment the stone tablet was shattered, Xiao Xuan's image appeared.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's face was extremely gloomy, his brows and eyes surging with malevolence. His sharp eyes locked onto Ling Yuan, and the Aura of his phantom body fluctuated violently.

"Arrogant brat, your conduct is far too rude!"

Ling Yuan sneered: "Back then when you begged me to do things for you and even threatened me, why didn't you talk about rudeness?"

As his voice fell, Ling Yuan flicked his wrist, and a dozen Dou Sheng energy cores instantly appeared in mid-air—all of them were the Dou Sheng energy bodies that Xiao Xuan had previously vowed to protect at all costs.

"These are the items you said you would protect at all costs. Before they died, they all thought you would step in to save them."

Ling Yuan's current appearance was very much like a villain.

Xiao Xuan's face turned livid and ugly, and the killing intent in his heart surged. Ling Yuan's arrogant appearance made him want to slap Ling Yuan to death.

But as just an image, he couldn't do that at all.

He saw the current strength of Ling Yuan and the others: Ling Yuan at the Late Stage of Five-Star Dou Sheng, Zi Yan at the Late Stage of Six-Star Dou Sheng, and Medusa at the Late Stage of Five-Star Dou Sheng.

A stormy sea surged in Xiao Xuan's heart; in two years, these three had actually improved so much!

Especially Ling Yuan, who was only a Two-Star Dou Sheng when they first met, and had rushed directly to the Late Stage of Five-Star Dou Sheng in two years.

Was this something a human could do?

Xiao Xuan asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want?"

If it were two years ago, if Ling Yuan had dared to smash his tombstone and provoke him wantonly, even if it triggered the backlash of the Heavenly Tomb's rules, he would have brought out his main body and killed Ling Yuan at all costs.

But now, even if his main body came out, it might not necessarily be a match for Ling Yuan and the others...

At this moment, Xiao Xuan felt some regret that he hadn't seen Ling Yuan's true nature clearly back then; otherwise, he should have killed him.

Now, Ling Yuan and the others had already become a force to be reckoned with.

Ling Yuan looked at Xiao Xuan with pity, his eyes like he was looking at a dead man: "Last time I gave you a chance. If you had contributed your energy bodies, I could have helped you bring the people of the Xiao Clan in. Unfortunately, you didn't seize the opportunity."

"Don't you feel sorry for the Xiao Clan? I'll put it this way today: I've collected your energy bodies. After leaving the Heavenly Tomb, I will also settle the score with the remaining Xiao Clan members in the outside world. I absolutely will not let a single one go!"

The members of the Xiao Clan were Xiao Xuan's only Achilles' heel. This sentence completely touched his bottom line and instantly ignited all of his killing intent.

Xiao Xuan's eyes turned crimson, and the killing intent in his heart reached its peak.

Xiao Xuan had developed killing intent toward Ling Yuan; he absolutely could not let Ling Yuan and the others leave!

Ling Yuan took in all the changes in Xiao Xuan's expression, knowing that he had completely enraged his opponent and that his goal had been fully achieved.

He stopped wasting words. Lightning surged in his palm, and several condensed bolts of Nine Profound Golden Lightning shot out instantly, heading straight for Xiao Xuan's image to blast it away.

This image of Xiao Xuan only had the combat power of a Three-Star Dou Sheng and could not withstand the attack of the stacked lightning power at all. The lightning instantly pierced through the phantom, directly scattering and dissolving Xiao Xuan's image.

Ling Yuan believed that Xiao Xuan would not be able to tolerate this.

Sure enough, the moment the image dissipated, the entire tomb beneath their feet shook violently. Thick, ancient Dou Qi surged from underground, and a massive energy fluctuation shot into the sky.

The top of the tomb was covered by a thick layer of Secret Realm Seal light curtain, which tightly suppressed the power inside the tomb. The two forces stalemated and constantly collided.

A tall, upright figure in green robes slowly stepped out from the underground tomb; it was none other than Xiao Xuan's main body.

Ling Yuan quickly probed the Realm of Xiao Xuan's main body.

His Realm had probably reached the Middle Stage of Seven-Star Dou Sheng, but the Dou Qi circulating around his body was chaotic, likely due to the backlash from forcibly breaking through the tomb. His real strength would be slightly weaker.

Ling Yuan laughed: "Finally willing to let your main body come out? I thought you were going to be a coward!"

Ling Yuan had a conclusion in his heart: Don't be afraid, he can be fought!

And the moment Xiao Xuan's figure appeared, he charged toward Ling Yuan.

Spatial Displacement!

Facing a Seven-Star Dou Sheng expert, Ling Yuan dared not be negligent; he activated both his Golden Aspect and Ancient Phoenix Armor simultaneously.

The Spatial Displacement of a Six-Star Dou Sheng was very strange; Ling Yuan needed to be on guard.

Now, under dual defenses, even if he accidentally took a hit from Xiao Xuan, he wouldn't be killed instantly.

Xiao Xuan's figure appeared in front of Ling Yuan in an instant. Massive Dou Qi condensed, and he slammed a heavy palm down toward Ling Yuan.

At this moment, Zi Yan, who was beside him, would not just watch.

"Divine Dragon Claw!"

Zi Yan blocked directly in front of Ling Yuan, catching Xiao Xuan's attack.

When the palm and the Dragon Claw collided, both Zi Yan and Xiao Xuan were knocked back a certain distance.

A blue divine soul bead appeared in front of Ling Yuan, and he said to Medusa: "Let's attack together and kill him!"
