Xiao Yuan's Thousand Layered Scheme

In the sky, Dark Black Hand and a massive Crystal Layer Handprint clashed, causing the surrounding space to continuously shatter and reveal numerous dark cracks.

The golden flames were scorching and explosive, constantly burning away the terrifying killing intent that was enough to suppress even the minds of some low-level Dou Zun to the point of collapse.

Ghost Venerable Senluo and Demon Flower Evil Monarch also changed their expressions drastically upon feeling the terrifying force and scorching heat emanating from the dark, massive hand.

What kind of Dou Technique is this, with such terrifying power? They naturally wouldn't know that with Xiao Yuan's current strength, just using the Emperor Imprint Skill at full power would be enough to make some Nine Stars Dou Zun level experts feel extremely troubled. Dealing with the two six- Dou Zun would be a piece of cake.

This is not only due to the powerful strength of the Emperor Imprint Skill itself, but also because after Xiao Yuan cultivated the Six Qi Transformations again, the Taiyin Damp Earth Qi Taiyin Damp Earth Fire, which was generated by the Taiyin Damp Earth Qi, was integrated into the original flames and evolved into a new Heavenly Flames.

According to Xiao Yuan's estimation, this new Heavenly Flames is probably comparable to Xun'er's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

After all, the Life Spirit Flame doesn't actually have much of an advantage in combat. Its previous dark golden flame was already comparable to the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire. Now that it has turned golden, it is a product of the fusion of five Heavenly Flames, so its power has naturally increased a lot.

Currently, if Xiao Yuan can fully cultivate the Six Qi Transformations and condense six flames, along with the genuine Yin Yang Dual Flames Heavenly Flames, his Fused Heavenly Flame would likely be comparable in quality to the Nihility Devouring Flame, which ranks second on the Heavenly Flames Ranking.

With such a terrifying Heavenly Flames as its enhancement, Xiao Yuan's combat power is naturally extremely terrifying. Ghost Venerable Senluo and Demon Flower Evil Monarch are only six- Dou Zun. Even if they fight desperately, they will definitely not be Xiao Yuan's opponent.

And indeed, that was the case. Before Ghost Venerable Senluo and Demon Flower Evil Monarch could even realize something was wrong, Xiao Yuan had already pressed down with one hand in the sky. The Crystal Layer Handprint instantly erupted with dazzling light, and golden flames surged forth, utterly obliterating the giant black hand. Then, it slammed down hard on Ghost Venerable Senluo and Demon Flower Evil Monarch, whose faces were filled with terror! The extreme heat of the golden flames ignited the Dou Qi within their bodies in an instant, and the terrifying power of the Emperor Imprint Skill was unleashed in its entirety at this moment!

With their frail bodies, the two were naturally unable to withstand this terrifying attack from both inside and outside. Before they could even scream, they were instantly reduced to nothingness, body and soul! Even the Storage Ring in their hands exploded at this moment.

Hmm? Did I use too much force?

Seeing that the items in his Storage Ring were about to be burned to ashes, Xiao Yuan's expression turned solemn Azure Lightning Flash beneath his feet as he appeared at the spot where the Storage Ring had exploded. With a swift movement, he retrieved all the items back into his Storage Ring. Immediately afterward, space was torn apart, and Xiao Yuan's figure was swallowed by the dark Space Rift. The remaining power of the Crystal Layer Handprint swept past, forcefully slamming a mountain into a basin! In mid-air, Xiao Yuan's gaze swept across the surroundings. He discovered that the other two experts from the Tianming Sect had already been killed by the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body wielding the Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Spear. As for Hua Jin, she was in a rather pitiful state.

Her clothes were tattered, and her fair body was covered in dark bruises. On her arms and thighs, the white bones had pierced through the flesh, and the bright red blood had stained her clothes a dark red color. She was barely breathing and was practically dead.

Especially after witnessing Xiao Yuan kill four six- Dou Zun of the Tianming Sect, she is now filled with despair.

Why did she have to be so foolish as to provoke Xiao Yuan?!

With a single step, Xiao Yuan appeared before Hua Jin.

"Logically, I should take you back to the Flower Sect and let Senior Hua Yu decide your fate."

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, a flicker of emotion flashed in Hua Jin's eyes, but before she could think further, a ball of golden flame landed on her.

"Why?"

Feeling the life force within her body being devoured by the terrifying flames, Hua Jin's eyes showed a look of confusion.

"Why should I reason with someone like you who betrayed our sect?"

Xiao Yuan shook his hand, looking at Hua Jin who had turned to ashes and Storage Ring had also been burned, and let out a cold mockery.

With the crisis averted, Xiao Yuan ceased using his secret technique, his aura quickly returning to that of Two Star Dou Zun. His face paled, and after a few dry coughs, he swallowed a pill.

However, at that moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the space behind Xiao Yuan, and a blue figure slowly emerged. As soon as this figure appeared, the air in this world immediately became humid, and tiny raindrops began to fall from the sky.

The seemingly tiny raindrops felt extremely heavy when they fell on Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan, causing him to freeze in place.

The sudden restriction caused Xiao Yuan's expression to change drastically, but no matter how much he unleashed his Dou Qi, he could not break through the raindrops' blockade.

"As expected of a descendant of Xiao Xuan, I am rather curious as to why you were able to reach the Dou Zun level at such a young age. Could it be that the Xiao Clan's long-abandoned bloodline can still be used?"

The blue figure slowly moved to stand in front of Xiao Yuan and said calmly.

Xiao Yuan did not answer, but stared warily at the old man in front of him. The old man was dressed in a blue robe, and even his hair and eyebrows were light blue. His eyes seemed to be filled with endless and vast water energy, which made people feel a little lost. Although this old man in blue robes looked relatively ordinary, Xiao Yuan knew that this old guy's strength was probably not much worse than his own when he used the secret technique to enhance his strength. At least he was a genuine Seven Star Dou Zun!

"It shouldn't be due to the bloodline. It's already incredible that such a discarded bloodline could nurture a powerhouse like Xiao Xuan; it's impossible for it to produce a second Xiao Xuan."

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's silence, the old man in blue shook his head and muttered to himself.

Xiao Yuan stared coldly at the old man in blue before him and began searching his memory. This man was not weak and should not be an unknown person. He must have some recollection of him.

"I am the Ninth Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall, Mo Yu."

Seemingly recognizing Xiao Yuan's Heavenly Flames, the blue-robed elder smiled slightly and said...

Ninth Heavenly Venerable? I never expected to run into this guy here.

"Speaking of which, your talent is quite good. The Ancient Clan's Emperor Imprint Skill Dou Technique, and the fact that you can use it so skillfully makes me quite curious. Where did you learn this Dou Technique?"

Seeing that Xiao Yuan still didn't speak, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable continued to ask.

"I'm too lazy to talk, and you're not worthy to listen."

Xiao Yuan sneered.

"Hehe, you're quite the sharp-tongued lad. It's a good thing I arrived a step too late, otherwise I would have had a real headache if I had faced that palm strike from you just now. But don't even think about using the Space Jade Slip anymore. I've already secretly Space Blockade off. In your current state, you probably won't be able to use any more secret techniques. So, you'd better obediently come back to the Soul Hall with me. I believe the Palace Master will be very interested in you."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable did not bother to argue with Xiao Yuan, a prisoner of low rank, and said with a faint smile.

"I never expected that the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall would be reduced to a dog casually summoned by the Tianming Sect. You, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable, are not qualified to capture me and take me back!"

Xiao Yuan remained completely calm and confidently stated.

"Oh? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show us everything."

Upon hearing this Ninth Heavenly Venerable raised his long blue eyebrows with a somewhat subtle expression and said with a smile.

"Hehe."

Xiao Yuan gave a fake smile, then fell silent.

Hmm? Seeing this, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable frowned, then slapped Xiao Yuan, sending ice shards flying.

Looking at Xiao Yuan, who exploded into a sky full of ice mist, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable's face also turned gloomy.

Damn it, it was False Body! This kid tricked me!

The next moment, an explosion rang out in the distance. Xiao Yuan's figure appeared in front of an illusory barrier. He activated a crimson-gold fire talisman to break the spatial blockade, and his figure transformed into Azure Lightning, shooting out.

"Hmph, trying to run away!?"

Seeing this, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable coldly snorted indifferently, took a light step forward, and the space in front of him distorted. His body disappeared instantly, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Xiao Yuan like a ghost. His five fingers were bent into a claw shape, bringing with them a sharp wind, and he grabbed at Xiao Yuan's throat. Wherever the claw wind passed, the space collapsed.

"Since that's the case, then I'll take the extra effort to cripple you before taking you back!"

Facing the sudden, fierce wind, Xiao Yuan remained expressionless, and his right palm, wreathed in golden flames, slammed out heavily.

"Bang!"

The two powerful gusts of wind collided in mid-air, and a deep, explosive sound immediately spread outwards. Ripples of wind spread out in a ring shape, causing the surrounding space to crack open with dark fissures.

"Thump thump!"

The two collided, and Xiao Yuan's body trembled. He staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his balance. He clenched his slightly numb right palm, and his eyes were filled with even more solemnity. After this exchange, he was completely certain of the Ninth Heavenly Venerable's strength. He was at the Seven Star Peak, just one step away from reaching the Eight Stars level.

Having been tricked by Xiao Yuan, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable was now filled with rage and naturally wouldn't speak kindly to Xiao Yuan again. With a swift movement, he once again burst forth, unleashing a vast surge of Dou Qi that shook the very sky.

"Bang bang bang!"

Above the sky, surging energy continuously exploded. Without activating any secret techniques, even Xiao Yuan was beginning to face perilous situations against the fierce attacks of a Seven Star Peak Dou Zun expert. If it weren't for his powerful physique and the power of his Heavenly Flames, he would probably have been severely injured long ago. However, even so, as the battle intensified, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for him! "Bang!"

Forced to exchange another blow with the Ninth Heavenly Venerable, Xiao Yuan's feet crackled with lightning as he created some distance between himself and the Nine Heavens Venerable.

Before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water behind him. The Ninth Heavenly Venerable had appeared behind him at some point, his right palm lightly sweeping out. At this moment, water vapor gathered and brought with it an extremely dense and cold aura, rushing towards Xiao Yuan like lightning.

As the Ninth Heavenly Venerable's palm strike, devoid of any earthly tremor, drifted over, Xiao Yuan could only hastily prepare. Golden flames rapidly condensed in his right palm, eventually transforming into a winding, coiling fire dragon that clashed heavily with the Ninth Heavenly Venerable's palm.

"Laugh!"

The two collided without a deafening sound; the intense heat and the chilling cold intertwined, only producing a thick white smoke and a constant hissing sound.

"Bang!"

This intertwining did not last long before a deep sound rang out from within the white mist. Immediately afterward, a disheveled figure was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a mountain wall. The terrifying force caused the hard mountain wall to be instantly covered with cracks as thick as an arm, before it burst open.

"Puff!"

Xiao Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at the blue figure in the sky with a gloomy expression.

That old guy really went all out!

"Come with me."

In the sky, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable glanced at Xiao Yuan, and with a swift movement, appeared in front of the latter. He slowly extended his hand, grabbing Xiao Yuan's shoulder, and with a burst of energy from his palm, Xiao Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood.

However, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, a strange smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's face, and then his body rapidly swelled up.

Before the Ninth Heavenly Venerable could react, it exploded completely!

In the distance, the figure of the Ninth Heavenly Venerable appeared, his face gloomy as he stared in the direction of the explosion, glancing down at his blood-soaked palm.

He felt like he'd been tricked again!

That golden, Heavenly Flames was extremely terrifying. Logically speaking, if it had been detonated, I would never have been able to do it so easily.

But this situation is really quite strange!

A moment later, seemingly realizing something, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable punched the void, only to be horrified to discover that even with his strength, he couldn't tear the space apart! In other words, this space had been sealed off? Just as this thought crossed his mind, a figure broke through the space and walked out from not far away, a cold smile full of killing intent on his face.

"Old man, did you have a good fight just now? Now it's my turn. I've sealed off this space. You can't call anyone else from the Soul Hall. Are you ready to die?"

As Xiao Yuan finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted! "Eight Star Dou Zun!?"

Sensing Xiao Yuan's aura, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable finally cried out in shock. He couldn't understand why Xiao Yuan could use a secret technique again to raise his Dou Qi to this level!

"You're right, there's a prize!"

As Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he clasped his hands together, and as the hand seals changed, the five Heavenly Flames within his body flew out, transforming into five Fire Spirit that flew towards the five surrounding directions. As the hand seals changed, the Five Round Fire Separation Formation also condensed.

As soon as the formation was formed, a dazzling Fire Curtain swept down, completely enveloping the sky within a hundred meters. The expression on the face of the Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu suddenly turned ugly!
