217: It makes people despair, so terrifying that the Soul Emperor

Chapter 217: Despair-Inducing, Terrifying Soul Emperor

Above an ocean formed by converging lightning, a clan boundary floated.

This place belonged to the Lei Clan.

The usually lightning-flashed surface of the ocean was calm, and the clan boundary swayed and trembled on its own.

A huge gap had been opened in the boundary wall, and three factions of people were in a chaotic battle around it.

They were the Soul Clan, the Lei Clan, and the Gu Clan.

When the Soul Clan appeared at the Lei Clan's border and attacked the boundary wall, the Lei Clan Leader unhesitatingly sent out a distress signal.

Although some time had passed since the Yan Clan's situation, the Lei Clan Leader had always kept it in mind and dared not underestimate the Soul Clan.

Upon receiving the news, Gu Yuan of the Gu Clan also arrived very quickly, almost as soon as the Lei Clan's boundary wall was damaged. However, the Medicine Clan was still nowhere to be seen.

However, once the battle began, they had no time to ponder why the Medicine Clan had not arrived.

The Soul Emperor fought Lei Ying and Gu Yuan alone.

Lei Ying, as the Lei Clan Leader, possessed formidable strength, being at the late-stage of an Eight-Star Dou Saint, while Gu Yuan was a Nine-Star Dou Saint.

Even so, facing the Soul Emperor, both felt considerable pressure.

After a thousand years of recuperation, the Soul Emperor's strength had greatly increased, his progress astonishing Gu Yuan.

Under the aftershocks of their attacks, the clan boundary trembled, on the verge of collapse, with large sections of space collapsing and disappearing, revealing a pitch-black interior.

With a deafening roar, three figures shot back a distance and stopped.

A dazzling lightning orb vanished, revealing Lei Ying's figure within. His face was slightly pale, and one hand pressed against his chest, trying to calm the surging Dou Qi within him. This would make him feel a little better and ensure that the fresh blood at his lips would not spill out.

On the Dou Qi Continent, an Eight-Star Dou Saint was considered a supreme expert, but there were still gaps between each realm, especially at the Dou Saint realm, where the difference in each minor stage was significant.

Lei Ying's lightning-attributed Dou Qi was known for its ferocity and powerful offensive capabilities, but clashing with the Soul Emperor still resulted in some internal injuries.

Gu Yuan asked, “Lei Clan Leader, how are you?”

Lei Ying waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “I can still hold on. The Soul Clan has always been mysterious, appearing and disappearing like a phantom. Today, the Soul Emperor has shown his face. Let's strike him down in one go; it can also be considered revenge for Yan Jin.”

Open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. After such a long period of recuperation, the Soul Clan's strength had significantly surpassed that of other ancient clans upon their reemergence.

Lei Ying did not want to live in constant fear.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan forced a smile and said, “Alright.”

The Soul Emperor's figure emerged from the black mist, his expression calm, and he said coldly, “Lei Ying, hand over the tuoshe ancient emperor jade! Otherwise, I guarantee that before you and Gu Yuan can deal with me, everyone else in your Lei Clan will die.”

This was not a joke; there were elders in the Soul Clan whose strength was not inferior to Lei Ying's.

The Soul Emperor was confident that he would not be defeated by the two of them. As long as he dragged it out, the Lei Clan members would eventually be slaughtered.

As for the Medicine Clan coming to their aid, the Soul Emperor was not worried at all, because he knew that whether the Medicine Clan could survive was still uncertain.

Lei Ying's face changed repeatedly as he scanned the surrounding battle.

The Lei Clan's once-thriving city was now riddled with holes, with heavy casualties among the Lei Clan members. While the elders fought, the remaining Lei Clan members were all huddled within a formation.

Lei Ying gritted his teeth, “Attack! Gu Clan Leader!”

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed, and then a purplish-red bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down towards the Soul Emperor.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath and launched his own attack.

Facing the terrifying lightning and giant palm, the Soul Emperor threw two punches, and vast Dou Qi surged from his fists along his arms.

The lightning was directly shattered, and the descent of the giant palm also paused.

Countless chains emerged from the black mist behind the Soul Emperor, whistling through the air as they shot towards Lei Ying and Gu Yuan, who immediately twisted their bodies to dodge.

Within a thousand-mile radius, no one dared to approach. The spreading energy aftershocks shattered the ground and annihilated the void.

“Lightning!”

Lei Ying threw lightning at the chains. They collided, shattering the chains and drastically reducing their speed. However, after a moment, they pursued him again, the electric arcs on the chains flickering for a while before being completely extinguished.

On the other side, Gu Yuan's fists were covered in a phantom image. With every strike, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble, and all the charging chains were pulverized by him.

Lei Ying unleashed all his techniques, controlling lightning with both hands, the light seemingly illuminating a vast expanse of sky. Yet, the chains before him grew more and more numerous, as if they could never be completely cut down.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan's pupils contracted, and he shouted, “Be careful! Lei Clan Leader!”

The Soul Emperor took a step, his figure flickering, and suddenly appeared beside Lei Ying, twisting his body to punch him.

Lei Ying hadn't expected the Soul Emperor to dare approach him, as he was imbued with terrifying lightning from his baptism, making him extremely powerful.

Facing the Soul Emperor's punch, Lei Ying was half a step too slow. The power he had painstakingly gathered had not yet formed a barrier when he was struck, and he was sent flying backward.

The Soul Emperor stood still, looked down at the scorched mark on his fist, and frowned.

At this moment, a strong gust of wind assailed him from behind. The Soul Emperor didn't even turn his head, stepping to the other side.

Powerful Dou Qi brushed past the Soul Emperor.

Gu Yuan saw his attack miss, directly shattering the void in front of him, and then he appeared behind the Soul Emperor, raising his fist above his head.

Immediately, a phantom image of a mountain peak appeared above Gu Yuan's head. His fist, like a mountain, struck towards the Soul Emperor's back with a heavy and magnificent aura.

Black mist surged, blocking the space between them.

Boom!

Gu Yuan felt as if he had struck a bronze gate. A buzzing sound echoed in his ears. He pulled back, looking at the huge gate revealed after the black mist dispersed.

“Dead Silence Door!”

Looking at the black gate, Gu Yuan's expression darkened. This was a Dou Skill of the Soul Clan, said to have been created by a Dou Emperor. Besides being able to devour everything, it could also collect the aura and power of the deceased and store it within, turning it into its own use.

The Soul Emperor walked out from behind the door, a look of impatience on his face, “Lei Ying, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it.”

Lei Ying's face was grim.

At this moment, a roar also came from afar, and another Dead Silence Door appeared.

There was more than one!

Gu Yuan's face changed again.

A Soul Clan elder opened the gate, and a terrifying suction force directly pulled two Seven-Star Dou Saint elders of the Lei Clan into it.

Seeing this scene, Lei Ying's heart bled.

Seven-Star Dou Saints were not common goods; they were the powerful foundation and pillars of the clan. In just a moment, two elders were gone.

“Open!”

The Soul Emperor roared, and the Dead Silence Door beside him slowly opened its two halves, a suction force surging from within.

Gu Yuan and Lei Ying dared not underestimate it and resisted with all their might.

Lei Ying anxiously asked, “Gu Clan Leader, do you have any other moves? Hurry and use them!”

Gu Yuan sighed, “This isn't the Gu Clan. Some of my abilities require the support of the Gu Clan's Ancient World. Lei Clan Leader, I'm already giving it my all.”

Lei Ying was disheartened, “Then what do we do now?”

Gu Yuan was silent. He was confident he could deal with this Dead Silence Door, but the cost would be immense. Even if he broke this door, the Soul Emperor would be injured, but not fatally.

After that, if it was left to Lei Ying, he might not be the Soul Emperor's opponent.

Therefore, Gu Yuan dared not gamble.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred. A figure appeared beside the Soul Emperor; it was the Void Swallowing Flame.

The two, whose faces were already grim, looked even worse.

Lei Ying no longer hesitated and threw out a jade slip, “Soul Emperor, I'll give you the tuoshe ancient emperor jade. I beg you to spare the Lei Clan.”

Grabbing the tuoshe ancient emperor jade, the Soul Emperor had no intention of stopping.

Now you know regret? What were you doing before?

With the appearance of the Void Swallowing Flame, the Soul Emperor's confidence in destroying the Lei Clan, which was originally eighty percent, now reached one hundred and ten percent.

Lei Ying's face showed despair, and a determined expression of readiness to die appeared in his eyes.

Gu Yuan felt a desire to retreat and prepared to return to the Gu Clan.

Just then, something unexpected happened to both of them. After the Soul Emperor frowned, he actually stopped, taking all the Soul Clan members and leaving the Lei World.
