Pursuit

As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, Lei Ying Yan Jin the others suddenly showed a surge of killing intent in their eyes, and the energy in the world fluctuated violently at that moment.

"Set up the formation!"

Several sharp shouts resounded from heaven and earth almost simultaneously. The Ancient Clan's experts quickly deployed their formations, and terrifying pillars of Dou Qi surged into the sky.

Such a magnificent display caused those of weaker strength to tremble; such a scene was truly a once-in-a-millennium spectacle.

"Looks like you guys really are Undying..."

In the sky, the smile on the Hun Tiandi's face also faded slightly, and he returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor. He looked down at Xiao Ming and the others, not surprised by their sudden attack.

He also understood that Xiao Ming, Gu Yuan, and the others would not sit idly by and watch his Soul Clan obtain the Eight Jades and successfully open the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling.

"Hun Tiandi, hand over the Ancient Jade, or we will surely unite and raze your Soul Clan to the ground!" Lei Ying glared angrily and shouted sternly.

Upon hearing this, the Hun Tiandi couldn't help but chuckle. With a flick of his wrist, he stored the Ancient Jade in his Na Ring, and said with a smile:

"Oh? I'm quite curious, if you possess such abilities, why have you ended up in this predicament?"

"The Hun Tiandi's Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling will not be opened by you easily."

Gu Yuan's face was ashen. His body slowly rose into the air, and a terrifying wave slowly spread out from his body. Instantly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder rumbled.

Following Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and other powerful individuals from the Ancient Clan who had reached the level of Five Star Dou Sheng or higher all soared into the air, their Aura surging and causing the world to change color.

"Hmph! With your kind of people, you can't possibly keep me here!" As he said this, the Hun Tiandi glanced at Xiao Ming out of the corner of his eye, a shadow of gloom rising in his heart.

Xiao Ming's strength was far beyond his expectations! This was a major disadvantage for his search for Tou She Ancient God!

If Battle Begins, it's truly impossible to predict who will emerge victorious.

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, about to speak, but Xiao Ming said, "Clan Leader Gu, why waste time with your words? Let's start the battle!"

Xiao Ming was also somewhat helpless at this moment. He had already thrown out the Tou She Ancient God Jade, one of his purposes being to get them to fight quickly. Why was it that at this crucial moment, they were still talking so much nonsense?

Reminded by Xiao Ming again, Gu Yuan didn't hesitate any longer and shouted loudly.

"The Ancient Emperor's Mirror!"

The powerful members of the Ancient Clan were also waiting in advance, and immediately, shouts rang out.

"Knock knock!"

As the shout fell, the light curtain covering the mountains and plains suddenly shone brightly. Streams of powerful and terrifying energy transformed into pillars of light that roared up and finally condensed in the sky into a colorful Ancient Emperor's Mirror tens of thousands of feet in size. The surface of the mirror shimmered and overflowed with astonishing energy fluctuations.

Before long, the enormous, colorful Ancient Emperor's Mirror also roared out.

The Soul Clan did not have many people entering the Ancient Realm, and they appeared even smaller under the illumination of this Ancient Realm. However, the Hun Tiandi showed no sign of panic. After giving Xiao Ming a deep look, he said...

"Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the Void Space suddenly cracked open with a huge spatial rift, and a vast expanse of black mist howled within it, with exceptionally powerful and chilling Aura emanating from the rift.

"The Soul Clan Army has been mobilized?!"

Sensing the immense Aura emanating from the crack, many people's expressions immediately changed.

"Waaah!"

A crack appeared, and black mist surged out like a flood, eventually transforming into a black seal no smaller than the Ancient Realm. The black seal hovered in the sky, its enormous shadow completely obscuring the entire mountain range!

"The Mark of Destruction!"

The black mark in the sky trembled, and suddenly, a deep sound, as if a million people were shouting at the same time, came from the crack.

Immediately, the black seal descended from the sky like a natural disaster, and finally, under the tense gazes of everyone, it collided violently with the Ancient Realm!

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth seemed to collapse at this moment, and indescribable Destructive Fluctuation raged wildly. Even with the sturdiness of the Ancient Realm's space, numerous pitch-black cracks appeared at this instant...

The two colossal beings collided violently in the heavens, and then each collapsed and vanished in the raging storm.

"Pfft!"

As the Ancient Emperor's Mirror collapsed, many powerful members of the Ancient Clan below coughed up blood. From the spatial rift filled with black mist, numerous shrill screams also came out. Clearly, this fierce battle between the two races had caused considerable losses for both sides.

A destructive storm raged across the sky. Even the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan and the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan were terrified by such an energy storm. If they were pulled into it, even with their strength, their chances of survival would be slim.

The raging storm also bought Hun Tiandi and his group some time.

Then, the Hun Tiandi and the Nihility Devouring Flame, along with the others, slowly retreated into the spatial rift and finally disappeared.

Seeing that the Hun Tiandi had fled as soon as they exchanged blows, Xiao Ming initially wanted to stop him, but after a moment's thought, he decided against it.

Although the best outcome for the Hun Tiandi would be to fight to the death in the Ancient Realm, not being in the Ancient Realm would only mean he would waste a little more energy. In any case, the Hun Tiandi couldn't escape today.

Sure enough, looking at the slowly healing spatial rift in the sky, Gu Yuan said quickly.

"Brother Lei, Brother Yan, and Alliance Leader Xiao, at this time, let's not say any more polite words. The only way to resolve this crisis is to immediately pursue and catch up with the Hun Tiandi. Otherwise, if the Hun Tiandi silently discovers the location of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling and we are completely unaware, that would be very dangerous!"

Moreover, the weakened state of Nihility Devouring Flame is indeed a good opportunity. Our Ancient Clan will take the lead and scout ahead, while you condense spatial channels and summon manpower to quickly follow."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan tore open space, and spatial passages quickly formed. He then stepped into them, and a large number of the Ancient Clan's powerful members followed.

Lei Ying Yan Jin exchanged a glance, nodded solemnly, and realized that this was the only option at this point.

They've been preparing for the competition all this time, so it hasn't had much of an impact.

Soon, under the actions of Lei Ying and Yan Jin, spatial passages were rapidly formed, and a large number of powerful figures from the Thunder Flame Two Clans emerged from them.

Both groups possessed high combat skills, and faced with the sudden battle, they did not panic much. Following Lei Ying's instructions, they quickly entered the spatial passage created by Gu Yuan.

In this situation, Xiao Ming naturally couldn't remain inactive. Although he was acting, he had to make his performance convincing.

Xiao Ming summoned relatively few people; only Dou Sheng such as Fire Cloud Ancestor and Pill Tower Ancestor, as well as some well-known Half-Saint, appeared to be only about thirty people.

Lei Ying and Yan Jin didn't say much, after all, in their view, the Heavenly Court and the Ancient Race were different.

Although their strength is also extremely formidable, unlike the Thunder Flame Two Clans which are concentrated in Small World, the Heavenly Court's personnel are too scattered. Faced with this sudden situation, it is already quite good that they were able to gather most of their high-level combat power in a short period of time.

Moreover, the Heavenly Court's high-level combat power is truly formidable, even ridiculously strong. Among them is an eight-star Dou Sheng who is just as strong as them, along with a considerable number of Dou Sheng and Half-Saints. Add to that a powerhouse like Xiao Ming, and what can they say?

In short, they hadn't expected Xiao Ming to take advantage of the chaos, and had already instructed their men to prioritize survival in the event of a major battle, while letting others fight to the death.

That eight-star Dou Sheng was naturally Zhu Zhen, an elder of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Zi Yan, who loved to join in the excitement, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity and came along as well. Besides Zhu Zhen, she was accompanied by two low-star Dou Shengs from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa. Xiao Ming hadn't let them come.

Upon seeing Xiao Ming, Zi Yan flew over excitedly. Fortunately, there were many people around, so Zi Yan, in her queenly and mature state, remained quite restrained and didn't make many physical movements.

"Xiao Ming, what are we going to do next?"

"Be careful, don't get too carried away in the fight. The Soul Clan isn't as simple as they seem."

These words weren't just for Zi Yan's ears; they were for others as well.

"Knew."

Xiao Ming's prestige in the Heavenly Court goes without saying, and these people were all old foxes. Seeing Xiao Ming's serious tone, they all nodded to show that they understood.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming didn't say anything more.

Leading the group into the spatial passage created by Gu Yuan, Lei Ying and the other two also handed over their duties to the other elders and left with Xiao Ming and the others.

The Burial Heaven Mountain Range is located in the Northwest Region of Central Plains. People in Central Plains may be unfamiliar with this area now, but for some elders of the Ancient Race, it is still a well-known place. This is because it was the site of the war between the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan. That great battle once made Central Plains tremble.

Deep within the mountains lies an Ancient Battlefield. The battlefield is extremely vast and usually teeming with Magical Beast, making it a dangerous place and thus quite remote.

Today's Ancient Battlefield is different from the past. Black mist swirls above the mountains, and the many Magical Beasts that used to roam freely have all vanished. On the vast battlefield, not even a single Magical Beast can be seen. Instead, there are countless human powerhouses standing on both sides, clearly divided into groups.

This is the scene that Xiao Ming and the others saw after stepping out of the spatial passage.

"Clan Leader Gu, what's going on here?" The group approached Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's gaze darkened slightly as he pointed to the battlefield, now reduced to ruins.

"I suppose the Hun Tiandi knows that things won't end well today, so he wants to settle things with us on the battlefield where the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan fought their great war years ago."

"Could this be a trap? Was he planning to wipe us all out before he made a move?" Yan Jin stepped forward, looking at the somewhat desolate Ancient Battlefield, and asked.

Lei Ying, whose temper was somewhat fiery, shouted in a deep voice, "Whether it's a trap or not, we have to fight! Thunder Clan members, listen to my command: Nine Dragon Heavenly Lightning Formation!"

"Yes!"

At this point, most of the manpower had been mobilized.

Upon hearing Lei Ying's shout, the many powerful Thunder Clan responded with solemn expressions. Immediately, streaks of brilliant silver light surged from their bodies, quickly condensing into a vast thundercloud in the sky. Within the thundercloud, silver light flickered, eventually transforming into nine enormous Thunder Dragon, each thousands of feet long. The rumbling thunder caused the earth to tremble.

"Go!"

As soon as the Thunder Dragon appeared, it was controlled by many Thunder Clan powerhouses and charged fiercely towards the Soul Clan Army with destructive power, causing the space along the way to explode!
