245: Chapter 245 The Xiao Clan's Junior Launches a Sneak Attack! One Trick to Win Over the World

The moment that strange giant stele appeared, Soul Yuan Tian was already mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

Facing the Ancient Heavenly Serpent energy entity that appeared under the reinforcement of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs' power, he did not take it seriously at all, raising his hand to unleash a high-tier Heaven Rank Dou Technique.

Soul Extinguishing Heavenly Flame Palm!

The world was dyed pitch-black by flames at this moment; this entire region of heaven and earth was completely under Soul Yuan Tian's control, threatening to overturn the entire space.

That terrifying might gave countless living beings in the city below the feeling that the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking; they were terrified out of their wits, sensing imminent disaster.

Under the gaze of countless people, the Ancient Heavenly Serpent energy entity collided with the giant pitch-black flame palm, and for a moment, spatial cracks spread across the sky like a spiderweb.

Under the clash of terrifying forces, layers of cracks appeared on the Ancient Heavenly Serpent energy entity, which was on the verge of collapse from the shockwaves.

Just then, the Yellow Spring Divine Stele below pierced through space, soaring into the sky like a moving mountain.

All of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs poured into the Ancient Heavenly Serpent energy entity, causing its body to begin expanding once again.

"Heavenly Flame, Rotate Again!"

Soul Yuan Tian raised a hand and pressed down once more, causing countless pitch-black flames to spread within the shattered space.

Under the terrifying clash, the Ancient Heavenly Serpent energy entity was ultimately obliterated, and the giant palm collided with the massive Yellow Spring Divine Stele.

"Hmm!?" Soul Yuan Tian's eyes narrowed.

He felt the Dou Qi within his body rapidly depleting, and his soul being suppressed.

"Is this the yellow spring stone tablet left behind by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint?"

"The Yellow Spring Demon Saint is already dead, yet he still wants to act rampant."

Soul Yuan Tian felt humiliated; he was an Eight Star Dou Sheng expert, how could he submit to a small stone tablet left behind by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint who had been dead for who knows how many years?

Soul Yuan Tian would absolutely not admit that the aura emitted from the Yellow Spring Divine Stele reminded him of Xiao Xuan from back then.

Even though Xiao Xuan had failed his breakthrough to Dou Di, suffered a backlash, and was heavily injured, and had been ambushed by their Hun Clan leader, Hun Tiandi...

...he was still able to severely injure Hun Tiandi, and then free up his hands to suppress the four brothers, who had been wantonly slaughtering Xiao Clan experts in the Xiao Realm.

If not for Void Swallowing Flame's earth-child fire preserving the souls of the four Hun Clan elders, and the countless resources spent over the past millennium to resurrect him based on the Gate of Dead Silence, he would have completely perished.

Hatred and an unspoken fear caused Soul Yuan Tian to unleash his Dou Technique with full force without hesitation.

But just then, a chill suddenly welled up in his soul, as if he were being watched by some fierce beast.

Almost instinctively, he turned his head and even directly mobilized his Dou Qi to prepare for defense, only to see a stone tablet enlarging before his eyes.

"Take it in for me!"

The one who suddenly appeared was naturally Xiao Ting, who had used Flying Body Tracing to silently arrive behind Soul Yuan Tian, slamming down the fenyan holy stele like a brick.

Soul Yuan Tian was fully occupied with resisting the yellow spring stone tablet, so he naturally had no time or sufficient power to deal with this strike.

Almost instantly, he was absorbed into the fenyan holy stele.

"Hmm?"

Soul Yuan Tian immediately saw 6-Star Dou Sheng and Soul Mie Sheng trapped by flame chains.

"6-Star Dou Sheng."

"Soul Mie Sheng!?"

Shouldn't Soul Mie Sheng be in Zixiao City in the Black-Corner Region of the Northwest Continent preparing to ambush Xiao Ting? Why would he be in this space?

Soul Yuan Tian suddenly recalled the last scene he saw when he was sucked in; the person brandishing the stone tablet seemed to be Xiao Ting.

In other words, he had been ambushed by a Xiao Clan junior?

"Old Ancestor!"

Soul Yuan Tian did not conceal his aura, so he was discovered by 6-Star Dou Sheng and Soul Mie Sheng immediately, and excited smiles appeared on both their faces.

"Old Ancestor, quickly strike and kill us!" The two of them spoke almost simultaneously.

If he were any later, once Soul Yuan Tian faced the Old Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, he would end up in the same state as them, and they would lose this chance for release.

"Kill you!?"

A look of confusion appeared on Soul Yuan Tian's face.

Although he had been caught off guard by Xiao Ting and sucked into the fenyan holy stele, his strength had not been diminished.

As the one among the four Hun Clan elders with the lightest injuries, his living-dead state was still fine, and he could exert the strength of a genuine early Eight Star Dou Sheng.

A mere fenyan holy stele could not trap him.

"Look at your spineless appearance, how dare you call yourselves members of the Hun Clan!?" Soul Yuan Tian spoke sternly: "Back then, even someone as strong as Xiao Xuan was suppressed and killed by our clan. What can a mere Xiao Clan junior, relying on a Dou Technique tool left behind by Ancestor Fen Yan, possibly do?"

"The Old Ancestor will shatter the fenyan holy stele right now and take you out."

As his voice fell, Soul Yuan Tian stepped out and soared into the air, raising his hand to mobilize his Dou Qi and begin attacking the space within the fenyan holy stele.

The strength of an Eight Star Dou Sheng was indeed powerful; even though Xiao Ting had successfully refined the Demon Saint's essence blood and raised his cultivation to the early Three-Star Dou Sheng, he could not seal the fenyan holy stele for too long while controlling it.

But he did not need to seal Soul Yuan Tian for too long.

With the cooperation of the experts from the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, Xiao Ting acted swiftly and captured all members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Afterwards, he instructed the people of the Gu Clan to handle the aftermath, then began to use Flying Body Tracing with all his might to rush towards the Northwest Continent.

After helping the remnant soul of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint become the spirit of the Yellow Spring Divine Stele, his soul power had also received a feedback, successfully breaking through to the Heavenly Realm Perfection.

With the perception of a Heavenly Realm Perfection soul, and employing the Flying Body Tracing technique, he could teleport thousands of miles in a year.

It did not take too long before he returned to the Black-Corner Region of the Northwest Continent, deep into the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode.

"Uncle!"

Xiao Ting appeared on the square in front of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode.

"My nephew has returned." Zhu Kun could not help but marvel in his heart at Xiao Ting's elusive methods, and a smile appeared on his giant dragon face: "Have you found the dragon phoenix origin fruit?"

"Fortunately, I did not fail the mission; I have found it." Xiao Ting nodded slightly, and then continued: "However, before giving the fruit to Zi Yan to consume, could I ask Senior to help me solve a small problem first?"

A small problem?

Zhu Kun couldn't help but think of the time Xiao Ting had asked him to deal with Hun Clan members on the previous two levels, so he joked: "It wouldn't be another Hun Clan Dou Sheng attacking you, would it? Don't let them be too weak; I won't have any sense of achievement solving that."

"This time, I will not let Uncle down."

Xiao Ting raised his hand to release the fenyan holy stele, and with a thought, opened a spatial portal.

Inside the fenyan holy stele, Soul Yuan Tian, who was about to break through the barrier restrictions, immediately sensed it and sneered: "Heh heh, Xiao Ting, it seems you are reluctant to see this fenyan holy stele destroyed at my hands."

Soul Yuan Tian stepped forward, passing through the spatial portal to the outside world.

He was also reluctant to destroy the fenyan holy stele; this was a quite decent Dou Technique tool, not inferior to the Gate of Dead Silence he had refined.

If this fenyan holy stele could fall into his hands, it could exert even greater utility.

6-Star Dou Sheng and Soul Mie Sheng, whose energy had been sealed by Xiao Ting so they could not speak: "..."

Great, there's going to be another prisoner by our side.

These days, why is it so hard to die!?
