235: Chapter 229 The Soul Emperor Enters the Game Personally

At this moment, Hun Tiandi's figure staggered, his aura was chaotic, and blood surged throughout his body. He looked severely injured, barely supporting his body as he fled to the entrance of the Soul Realm.

As soon as he stepped into the territory, the Hun Clan's Legacy protective grand array was fully activated instantly.

At the same time, two Seven-Star Dou Sheng immediately appeared, stepping forward quickly to support the heavily injured-looking Hun Tiandi.

Following closely behind, more than thirty Hun Clan Dou Sheng gathered and appeared one after another. Most of them were mid-to-low-tier combatants below the Five-Star Dou Sheng level, arrayed behind the grand array, waiting in strict formation.

Counting the dozen or so who were killed along the way, this was almost all the Dou Sheng combat power that the Hun Clan had openly displayed.

Zhu Kun swept his gaze across the scene, his face showing not a shred of fear.

In his view, Hun Tiandi was heavily injured and had not recovered, his combat power had plummeted, and the rest were just a group of low-tier Dou Sheng, not worth mentioning at all.

Added together, this group was definitely no match for him and Ling Yuan.

Zhu Kun: "We can fight, we can fight. Same old plan, you stand a bit behind me."

Zhu Kun intended to break directly through the Hun Clan's protective grand array and engage in a fierce battle with the Hun Clan experts.

Just at this moment, Ling Yuan immediately raised his hand to stop him.

Ling Yuan was currently wearing a look of vigilance.

All the details of the pursuit along the way were rapidly pieced together in his mind, and a strong sense of unease completely enveloped his heart.

Hun Tiandi had always been meticulous and unrivaled in his schemes; he was an ambitious hero best at laying traps and ambushes. Everything this time was truly too abnormal.

Clearly knowing that the protective grand array was useless against Zhu Kun, why open it?

Secondly, there was Hun Tiandi's injury—he was heavily injured and dying, fleeing in a sorry state, with over a dozen Dou Sheng coming out to buy him time.

Was Hun Tiandi really injured to such an extent?

The most critical point was the lack of combat power. The Hun Clan had a profound foundation and countless hidden trump cards, especially those four Eight Star Dou Sheng living dead; they had not appeared from beginning to end.

From scheming against Hun Tiandi to causing his injury and the subsequent pursuit, everything had progressed too smoothly.

Ling Yuan himself could sense that the Gu, Yan, and Lei Clans were desperate; could Hun Tiandi, this ambitious hero, fail to sense it?

Since he sensed it, why did Hun Tiandi still stay so far away from Void Swallowing Flame?

From these small details, Ling Yuan faintly felt that something was wrong with Hun Tiandi.

Countless doubts connected together, and a guess that made his scalp tingle instantly formed in his mind.

Could it be that Hun Tiandi had long since planned this, intentionally letting Void Swallowing Flame be beaten into a heavy injury, and then getting himself injured as well, just to lure him into a trap?

Realizing all this, Ling Yuan felt a chill down his back, and the hair on his body stood on end.

Looking at Hun Tiandi's currently solemn expression, Ling Yuan was even more certain that this Soul Realm definitely had a trap!

Hun Tiandi used the price of being nearly heavily injured to lure him and Zhu Kun over; could it be that he wanted to use that move?

After having some guesses in his mind, Ling Yuan immediately made Zhu Kun retreat.

"Retreat! Hun Tiandi wants to lure us into the Soul Realm; there must be a trap inside!"

Hun Tiandi was too insidious, with various methods emerging one after another.

The Hun Clan still had four Eight Star Dou Sheng living dead and numerous Dou Sheng experts. Even if there were no traps inside, just relying on himself and Zhu Kun, it was impossible to kill Hun Tiandi.

Ling Yuan's mind was incredibly clear, quickly sorting out all the pros and cons.

In this battle, Hun Tiandi had indeed suffered significant injuries; to fully recuperate and recover, it would inevitably take quite some time.

For them, this was already a huge victory.

Let's quit while we are ahead.

A Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage is not so easy to kill,

especially someone as cunning and with as many trump cards as Hun Tiandi.

If he were to be schemed against by Hun Tiandi, the losses would outweigh the gains.

Thinking through the pros and cons, Ling Yuan immediately called a halt to Zhu Kun.

The two stopped at a position a thousand feet from the entrance of the Soul Realm, then retreated.

In the end, they even directly turned around and returned to the Ancient World by the way they came.

...

Ling Yuan returned to the Ancient World and found that under Gu Yuan's command, many clansmen had run away.

Gu Yuan was somewhat disappointed to see that Zhu Kun and Ling Yuan were not injured.

Then he also intended to retreat.

Now, the Dou Sheng of the three clans had all died in battle, the high-tier combat power was completely severed, and as he was alone, he simply had no capital to fight again.

If you can't beat them, you can only avoid their edge.

Before leaving, he suddenly turned back, staring intently at Ling Yuan and Zhu Kun, his eyes full of thick resentment and killing intent, without any concealment.

"Ling Yuan, Zhu Kun, you just wait for me!"

"As long as I, Gu Yuan, am alive for one day, you, the Ling Clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, will never have peace! I will seek revenge on you to the end without rest day or night!"

After dropping this harsh threat, Gu Yuan's figure flashed and completely disappeared into the airspace of the Ancient World, concealing his figure as he fled.

Knowing he couldn't catch up to Gu Yuan, Ling Yuan did not intend to waste his effort.

Thus, the entire Ancient World Great War came to a complete end.

Overall, Ling Yuan's gains were still very large.

Almost wiping out the Gu, Yan, and Lei Clans, only Gu Yuan was left as a commander without an army.

Void Swallowing Flame was heavily injured and dying, completely losing the ability to fight, and Hun Tiandi had suffered significant injuries; using conventional means, it would take quite some time to fully recover!

Looking at his side, not only was he uninjured, but he also gained a large number of Dou Sheng corpses.

The biggest winner of this wave was Ling Yuan.

...

On the other side, Hun Tiandi had been standing at the entrance of the Soul Realm for a long time.

He still couldn't figure out why Zhu Kun and Ling Yuan didn't kill their way into the Soul Realm.

He was already heavily injured, and Void Swallowing Flame had no combat ability.

At this time, shouldn't the unscathed Zhu Kun and Ling Yuan press their advantage and kill him?

At the very least, they should come in and kill a few more Hun Clan Dou Sheng!

Hun Tiandi's Dou Qi surged around him, and his anger rose; even the two Seven-Star Dou Sheng dared not approach.

Fleeing back to the Soul Realm with injuries was actually a part of Hun Tiandi's scheme.

Ling Yuan was right; he had already set a major trap inside the Soul Realm.

At this moment, inside the entire Soul Realm, all the top experts of the Hun Clan were gathered and in position.

The Hun Clan Four Demon Saints and a group of high-tier Dou Sheng were scattered and ambushed in all directions of the airspace, sealing off all escape routes, just waiting for the enemy to enter the game.

High above the Soul Realm, a huge blood-colored blade floated quietly in the air, its entire body circulating with eerie blood light, constantly emitting a low hum.

The space of the entire world was trembling slightly under the pressure of the blade, as if it could not withstand this terrifying power at any moment.

If Ling Yuan were here, he would definitely be able to guess the origin of this blade.

Emperor Slaying Array!

That's right; without anyone noticing, Hun Tiandi had silently created this fatal array.

To set up this Emperor Slaying Array, he had expended unimaginable effort and cost.

Looking closely at the entire Soul Realm, one could discover that apart from the ambushing Dou Sheng experts, the entire territory was incredibly empty; not a single ordinary clansman could be seen.

The millions of descendants of the Hun Clan had already disappeared.

That's right, Hun Tiandi had sacrificed all the clansmen below the level of Dou Sheng expert to barely create this Emperor Slaying Array.

This was not the complete version of the Emperor Slaying Array; its power could not compare to its Peak state in the original work, and it could only be considered a simplified version.

But even if it was just a simplified version, its lethality was extremely terrifying, and it was simply not something an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage could withstand.

If Gu Yuan had been impulsive just now and chased inside, taking this blow head-on, he would definitely have fallen on the spot, with no possibility of survival.

If it were Zhu Kun, no matter how strong his defense was, he would be heavily injured.

And with so many Hun Clan experts present, they could completely finish off the heavily injured Zhu Kun!
