The Curtain Falls

Upon seeing the three members of the Soul Hall launch a joint attack, many onlookers involuntarily held their breath.

They could naturally see that Xiao Yuan's aura was only at the level of Four Star Dou Zun. Although his previous sneak attack had demonstrated his formidable physical strength and terrifying combat power, dealing with the desperate attack of three Five Star Dou Zun would likely be difficult! However, Xiao Yuan was completely unfazed. If it were Heavenly Venerable ranked among the top ten in the Soul Hall, he might have been somewhat wary, but these were merely a few Five Star Dou Zun. What right did they have to make him wary? "Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, First Transformation, Second Transformation, Third Transformation!"

Xiao Yuan decisively unleashed the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. After the three transformations, his aura surged to the Seven Star Dou Zun, leaving everyone, including Tang Zhen, the Burning Flame Valley Master, speechless.

The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, which directly boosts Xiao Yuan's strength by three stars, truly seems tailor-made for him! Xiao Yuan's soaring aura also made the faces of the three from the Soul Hall turn ugly.

At the Dou Zun level, there is a huge gap between each star. Now that Xiao Yuan than them, their goal of seriously injuring Xiao Yuan is probably difficult to achieve. What's worse, their lives are probably in danger!

The thought of the miserable state of the Tianming Sect members after they fell into the range of that terrifying Heaven Rank Battle Skill made the three of them shudder. They immediately began to frantically activate their Dou Qi to enhance the power of their Dou Technique.

However, with overwhelming strength, Xiao Yuan was not lacking in means to defeat his enemies.

Suddenly, his aura changed, and an extremely strong killing intent emanated from his body.

A murderous intent rapidly spread, and Xiao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. A murderous mist, almost tangible, emanated directly from the two of them, forming a dark cloud-like entity in front of them. As the cloud rippled, a gigantic black hand, a hundred meters in size, suddenly shot out from it and grabbed at the attacks of the three Dou Zun from the Soul Hall.

A chilling killing intent emanated from the giant black hand. This killing intent was formed from Xiao Yuan's killing will over the years, coupled with his Heavenly State soul power. As soon as he made his move, everyone present felt a sense of oppression. Some of the weaker ones even felt a tremor from the depths of their souls. They knew clearly that if they were to face Xiao Yuan's move directly, they would probably be terrified to death on the spot!

Having delivered his first blow, Xiao Yuan turned and retreated outside the main hall, showing no further intention of attacking.

Clearly, in his view, this one strike was enough to decide the outcome!

As Xiao Yuan had predicted, even the Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu would have to take this attack seriously. Although the Star Plucking Old Ghost and the Black White Tian Zun were quite powerful, it would still be too difficult for them to directly confront the Tianming Sect Sect's supreme technique, which was unleashed by someone of Xiao Yuan's strength.

Thus, to everyone's astonishment, the murderous black giant hand crushed the Soul Hall's three-person desperate counterattack with overwhelming force, then slammed heavily onto the three of them, pushing them into the black light circle!

The three screams had barely begun when they abruptly ceased. The Soul Hall members, who had barely appeared for an hour, were all dead at that moment.

The black halo trembled violently after the giant black hand entered it. A moment later, just before reaching the entrance of the main hall, it seemed to have exhausted all its strength and dissipated.

As the black halo disappeared, a massive, deep hole, hundreds of feet in size, appeared before everyone's eyes. The once vast main hall was now completely gone, not even a trace of it remained.

"Gurgle!"

Seeing such a devastated scene, many people couldn't help but swallow hard, wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, and look at Xiao Yuan's figure with awe.

That giant hand, which was at least a hundred meters long, was probably unmatched by anyone present. Such a powerful figure naturally deserves their respect.

Xiao Yuan's gaze immediately focused on the enormous, deep cavern, where a jade-white skeleton stood suspended in mid-air. The red light within its eye sockets had completely dissipated, clearly indicating that the remnant soul imprint left by the Dou Sheng Expert had also vanished completely. "Heaven Rank Battle Skill"

His eyes were fixed on the jade-white skeleton, and a startling heat suddenly erupted in Xiao Yuan's eyes.

"It's fortunate that you reminded me in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable. That palm strike from the Dou Sheng Skeleton was truly terrifying. I'm afraid I would have had to exert a lot of effort to barely withstand it."

The Heavenly Flame Venerable still had a hint of shock in his eyes; even he had never seen such a terrifying Dou Technique before.

"This should be the legendary Heaven Rank Battle Skill. This is only the destructive power caused by a remnant soul imprint left behind by a Dou Sheng Expert. If a true Dou Sheng Expert were to use it, it would probably not just be this giant hall that would disappear, but the entire ruins, or even most of the Skeleton Mountain Range."

"Cai Lin said softly."

Xiao Yuan nodded as well, having personally witnessed the power of this thing.

"Hehe, quite a few people here are having a run of bad luck."

Zi Yan chuckled, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.

Xiao Yuan glanced across the square and indeed found that the original large crowd had dwindled to a small number. Moreover, most of the survivors had faces full of fear, their clothes soaked with cold sweat. These people were truly terrified.

"Unfortunately, those scrolls were also destroyed."

Qing Lian said with some regret.

"The treasure here is not those scrolls, but the Dou Sheng Skeleton."

Xiao Yuan smiled, his eyes burning as he gazed at the white jade skeleton floating above the massive pit. Not only did the skeleton conceal a Heaven Rank Battle Skill, but the body itself possessed an astonishing allure. Anything left behind by Dou Sheng Expert was a top-tier treasure.

"Most of those who are still alive are powerful individuals with some skills, but fortunately they have all suffered some injuries. In this respect, it seems that our strength and that of the Burning Flame Valley have been preserved the most intact."

Heavenly Flame Venerable said in a low voice.

"Alright, it's time to accept these remains."

Xiao Yuan smiled, and then, with a flash of Azure Lightning beneath his feet, he rushed back to the main hall and unceremoniously put the skeleton into his Storage Ring.

After all that commotion, Xiao Yuan's opposing forces were wiped out. The only force that was somewhat formidable was Burning Flame Valley.

However, Xiao Yuan had already stated that the Dou Sheng Skeleton were intended for the resurrection of Yao Lao, Burning Flame Valley would naturally not covet them.

Putting aside the fact that Xiao Yuan, as the son-in-law, truly carries such weight in his words, they wouldn't refuse to give face to the Venerable Yao if he needed it.

After all, this was a great opportunity to befriend three Eighth Grade Alchemist: Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao! And since Burning Flame Valley didn't make a move, the remaining forces naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

Just kidding. Xiao Yuan killed the three Five Star Dou Zun of the Soul Hall with a very safe method. The strongest people present are only Three-Star Dou Zun. How can they fight against Xiao Yuan, who can instantly become Seven Star Dou Zun with a secret technique? Having obtained the Dou Sheng Skeleton, Xiao Yuan did not intend to stay here. He then left with Cai Lin and the others, as well as the Burning Flame Valley group led by Tang Zhen.

After the two largest forces left, most of the remaining people also left. However, some unwilling people continued to linger in the ruins, hoping to find something useful again.

However, as soon as Xiao Yuan left the Skeleton Mountain Range, he sensed fluctuations in the space in front of him, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from it.

Xiao Yuan immediately became alert, thinking that the seriously injured Feng Qing'er had managed to escape back to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and brought reinforcements.

However, after the Space Rift opened, a burly figure stepped out of the space and headed straight for Zi Yan.

"Little girl, your Black Uncle isn't late this time, is he?"

A hearty laugh rang out, and a burly man appeared beside Zi Yan.

"It is said that the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe has the talent to travel through the Void Space and their mastery of Space Power is unmatched. Now that I see it, it is indeed true!"

As Xiao Yuan watched the burly man easily pass through space and arrive directly beside Zi Yan, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Why are you so late? Xiao Yuan's already finished fighting! I'm going to tell on you when we get back!"

Zi Yan, however, pouted and snorted.

Upon hearing the word "complaint," the burly man immediately looked dejected, clearly having suffered quite a loss.

"Hmph, it's fortunate that Xiao Yuan is here. Otherwise, if something had gone wrong with the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, it wouldn't have been solitary confinement that could have made a difference."

Zi Yan continued.

"Hey-hey."

Upon hearing this, the burly man who called himself Black Uncle scratched his head and chuckled. He naturally knew the importance of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. If this thing really fell into the hands of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, those old guys in the clan would definitely not let him off easily.

"Look, this is Hei Qing, also a member of our Void Ancient Dragon Tribe."

Zi Yan turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yuan and the others.

"Xiao Yuan greets Senior Hei Qing."

Xiao Yuan respectfully cupped his hands in greeting. He knew that although this big man didn't look very old and his strength might not be stronger than his own, he was probably Old Monster had lived for countless years.

"Oh, so you're Xiao Yuan, huh? A descendant of Xiao Xuan. I never imagined the Xiao Clan family could produce such a figure. No wonder they were once one of the Ancient Eight Clans!"

Hei Qing glanced at Xiao Yuan and smiled.

"Oh, you know your Ancestor?"

Xiao Yuan had actually forgotten about this, and asked with some curiosity.

"Back when I met Xiao Xuan, I was about the same age as Zi Yan," Hei Qing grinned, then frowned and asked Xiao Yuan, "It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you've grown into a beautiful young woman. Did you give her a Transformation Pill?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I casually made one for her to try, and I didn't expect it to actually help her grow."

"Hmm, what a pity. This girl isn't fun anymore now that she's grown up. Hehe, when she came out, those old guys in the clan asked me to tell you that they thank you for taking care of Zi Yan all these years. My Void Ancient Dragon Tribe will find a chance to repay you for this favor."

Hei Qing first made a joke, but seeing Zi Yan glaring at him angrily, he scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, looked back at Xiao Yuan, and said solemnly.

"Senior Hei Qing, you're too kind. This girl is quite likable, and taking care of her won't be a problem."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Hmm, this girl has a rather special identity and is extremely important to our clan, so she can't afford to get into any trouble. The fact that you were able to bring her safely to Central State and make contact with the clan is a great favor to us."

Hei Qing glanced at Zi Yan beside him, but shook his head.

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on this. I'm tired of all this rambling. Anyway, the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe will repay your favor in the future. You can just head east to leave the Beast Region. However, Zi Yan will have to come back to the clan with me this time."

"Why? I'm not going back. It's no fun there at all."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan frowned and shook her head like a rattle drum.

"It's no use telling me. This time, it was those old guys who gave the order. They said you've had your fun. You haven't completed the Ancient Dragon Inheritance yet. This time, you must completely complete the inheritance before you can come out. Moreover, now that you've discovered the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, you also need to deal with this."

Hei Qing shrugged and said.

Zi Yan wore a pained expression, her face full of reluctance.

"With your current strength, following Xiao Yuan around would only be a burden to him. Who knows, you might cause some kind of trouble for them one day. You wouldn't like to see that happen, would you?" Hei Qing laughed. "Once you complete the inheritance, your strength will increase dramatically. At that time, no one will stop you from coming out. When you come out to find Xiao Yuan and the others, you can actually be of real help."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan was taken aback, then lowered her head dejectedly and said, "Fine, you win, I'll go back with you."

Xiao Yuan glanced at Hei Qing. Although this guy looked rough, he was quite cunning. With just one sentence, he hit Zi Yan's weak spot, forcing her to submit.

As if sensing Xiao Yuan's thoughts, Hei Qing grinned at him, then turned his gaze to Xiong Zhan and said, "This big guy, come with me too. The Ancient Dragon Bear was once a subordinate race of my Ancient Void Dragon. You'll gain a lot of benefits from coming with me."

"Hehe, I'll do whatever Senior Hei Qing says."

Xiong Zhan scratched his head and chuckled. He couldn't muster the slightest resistance in front of the mature Ancient Void Dragon.

"In that case, let us part ways here."

Xiao Yuan cupped his hands and smiled.

"Zi Yan, you must cultivate diligently."

Cai Lin patted Zi Yan's head and smiled, while the latter could only nod sullenly.

Without Hei Qing making any move, the space around him distorted, and a Space Rift reappeared.

"Let's go."

With Hei Qing turned and walked into the crevice, with Xiong Zhan following closely behind. Zi Yan walked at the very back, biting her lip before coming to Xiao Yuan. With a flick of her finger, a drop of purplish-gold blood fell into Xiao Yuan's palm, transforming into a dragon-shaped mark.

"That way, no matter where you are, I can find you! When I come back, you'll have to make me lots of pills!"

Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yuan with her purple eyes and said earnestly.

"Alright, I'll refine all the Rank 8 Pill for you to eat!"

Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this and reached out to rub Zi Yan's head.

Zi Yan shook her head, broke free from Xiao Yuan's grasp, and muttered, "I'm such a grown-up, and you still treat me like a child! Humph!"

Having said that, he disappeared into the Space Rift, his figure gradually becoming blurry.
