Looking at the dark red figure who raised his head and cast a questioning glance at him, Xiao Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily. You've been dead for hundreds or thousands of years, who would know what your name is? "Sigh, it seems no one remembers after all. This feeling is really unpleasant. I'd better finish you off quickly, my Blood Blade seems to be having a hard time." Seeing this, the guy who called himself the Blood Blade Saint shook his head in disappointment, and then his feet twitched almost imperceptibly.

Just as the Blood Blade Saint's feet trembled, Xiao Yuan's expression suddenly changed. He unleashed the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, transforming into a blur as he left his original spot.

"Laugh!"

The instant Xiao Yuan's figure disappeared, a streak of blood-red light shot out from the spot where he had been standing, tearing a deep trench in the ground.

"Huh?"

The attack missed its mark, and a surprised exclamation came from the Void Space. Then Xiao Yuan felt that the guy's gaze was fixed on his body, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

"This person's speed is terrifying. Is this the difference between Half-Saint level expert who only has a sliver of consciousness left and exists as Energy Body, and Dou Zun?"

A few drops of cold sweat dripped from Xiao Yuan's forehead, and he quickly retreated. If his soul power had not been strong enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect the attack from the Blood Blade Saint earlier.

His hand seals changed rapidly, and then Xiao Yuan shouted, "Mountain-Opening Sea Flipping Seal, Earth-Covering Sky Annihilation Seal!"

Two dazzling energy imprints quickly formed in his hands, and then shot fiercely towards the Blood Blade Saint.

This is a method of superimposing two seals that Xiao Yuan developed after in-depth research on the Emperor Imprint Skill. Of course, if necessary, he can directly superimpose the four seals when they are condensed, but the casting speed will be slower, unlike the current method of superimposing two seals, which is no different from the casting speed of a single seal.

"A trivial skill!"

Upon seeing the incoming energy light imprint, the Blood Blade Saint smiled disdainfully. He slashed twice diagonally across the void with his Ghost Head Broadsword, and two huge blade beams tore through space. With one slash, he ripped apart the two energy light imprints. The remaining blade energy rushed directly towards Xiao Yuan, but it was ultimately blocked by the thunder and fire bursting gale he created with the Heavenly Constellation Thunderfire Steps.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterward, the ground beneath Xiao Yuan's feet was shattered by the thunder and fire gale. At the same time, the ground where the Blood Blade Saint was located suddenly caved in rapidly, and a huge pillar of magma shot out with terrifying force.

"Snort!"

The Blood Blade Saint snorted coldly at the massive magma pillar, stomping his foot hard on the ground. The massive magma pillar collapsed under his foot, and scorching magma spread out in all directions, melting all the nearby boulders.

"Depend on!"

Seeing the Blood Blade Saint break through the Earthly Gang Flame with brute force, Xiao Yuan was also extremely troubled.

The Emperor Imprint Skill: Four Seals Stacked!

Xiao Yuan formed a hand seal at lightning speed once more, and then unleashed a crystal-clear Crystal Layer Handprint.

"Clang!"

In response to Xiao Yuan's renewed use of the Emperor Imprint Skill, the Blood Blade Saint swiftly swung his Ghost Head Broadsword in front of him, creating a blood-red blade flower. The blade flower then spun rapidly, colliding with the Crystal Layer Handprint that Xiao Yuan had unleashed.

"Boom!"

An explosion rang out, and both the knife flowers and the Crystal Layer Handprint were annihilated.

"Hehe, you're not a true Dou Sheng yet. You haven't even reached the true level of Half-Saint!"

Xiao Yuan broke out in a slight sweat and said with a smile.

"How dare such an ant-like being challenge the majesty of a saint!"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Blade Saint sneered, clenched his left hand, and then suddenly unleashed a burst of blood light that condensed into a blood-red tiger, roaring as it charged toward Xiao Yuan.

"Void Fist!"

Xiao Yuan remained calm and composed. His body trembled, and his bloodline power erupted. Fine, purplish-gold dragon scales grew out and covered his body. Then, his Dou Qi condensed, and his physical strength exploded, forming a dragon head on his fist.

With a single punch, the dragon's head and the tiger collided, unleashing their energy to its fullest extent. The whistling force scraped away nearly a meter of ground.

"Hmm? This kid's got some skills! He even has some connection to the Ancient Void Dragon!"

The Blood Blade Saint couldn't help but marvel at the dragon scales on Xiao Yuan's body.

"Blood Blade Chaotic Wind Slash!"

Facing the somewhat troublesome Xiao Yuan, the Blood Blade Saint was amazed, but he did not hold back. He immediately launched another fierce counterattack. With a stomp of his foot on the ground, his body suddenly spun around, like a blood-red tornado. The surrounding space was instantly shattered into black holes. "Bang bang!"

The sharp blade energy shot out from within the lightning-fast whirlwind, directly sending Xiao Yuan flying backward. His body crashed heavily onto the surrounding boulders, and the terrifying force instantly turned the boulders into powder.

However, thanks to his strong physique, Xiao Yuan was unharmed and immediately got up to fight again.

The Blood Blade Saint's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Xiao Yuan, whose expression changed slightly at this moment, and he suddenly shouted in his heart.

"The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations! First Transformation! Second Transformation! Third Transformation!"

As the shout resounded in his heart, Xiao Yuan's internal Dou Qi suddenly became violent. He had been trying to see how far his physical body could go in actual combat, given his profound Dou Qi spirit. Now it seemed that although he couldn't stop Half-Saint, he was still a formidable opponent among those at the Dou Zun Realm.

However, it still takes some tricks to fight against Half-Saint!

With his bloodline power actively activated, Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi surged to the Three-Star Dou Zun Peak.

"Laugh!"

The Ghost Head Broadsword, slicing through the void, suddenly stopped above Xiao Yuan's head. The Blood Blade Saint's gaze was fixed on the latter's brow, and after a moment, a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

"The Xiao Clan Mark? You're actually from the Xiao Clan?"

"Are you from the Xiao Clan?"

The Ghost Head Broadsword, reeking of a strong bloody stench, came to an abrupt halt half a foot above Xiao Yuan's head. The Blood Blade Saint stared at Xiao Yuan's forehead with fear in his eyes, and his voice even carried a hint of horror.

Xiao Yuan just about to have a fierce battle with the Blood Blade Saint when he paused because of the Blood Blade Saint's strange behavior. Then, he frowned slightly, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and quickly retreated, saying:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Blood Blade Saint stared intently at the crimson-gold Clan Mark between Xiao Yuan's brows, which emanated an aura that was both familiar and frightening to him!

He was familiar with this Clan Mark, because in his distant memories, it seemed like a terrifying Clan Mark.

"Aren't all the members of the Xiao Clan dead?"

The Blood Blade Saint murmured, but as he spoke, his gaze involuntarily swept towards the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, a deep fear flashing in his eyes.

"This kid is actually a member of the Xiao Clan. With that person's extraordinary abilities, he must have sensed him entering this place. If I kill him, I'm afraid I will not be able to escape that person's retribution in the future."

Blood Blade Saint's eyes flashed rapidly. After a moment, the domineering bloody aura that permeated his body gradually subsided. With a flick of his hand, the Ghost Head Broadsword disappeared. He glanced at Xiao Yuan and said with some resentment, "Let's go. Consider this your good luck!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan was taken aback, then suddenly frowned. This Blood Blade Saint seemed somewhat familiar! "Go west from here. This narrow passage is the intersection of many powerful figures. If you travel from here, you should be able to avoid the obstruction of others and eventually reach your destination."

Seeing Xiao Yuan looking somewhat dazed, the Blood Blade Saint urged him impatiently.

"Thank you, senior." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan didn't have time to think about what was going on with the Blood Blade Saint. He respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and slowly backed away. But halfway there, he suddenly stopped and said, "Senior, could you accompany me? I am going to the tomb of my Ancestor Tomb of Xiao Xuan. My strength is weak, but if I can be protected by you, I will tell my Ancestor about your kindness."

Upon hearing this Blood Blade Saint opened his mouth, then looked at Xiao Yuan with a headache.

This kid is really daring! He's letting Half-Saint expert guide him! But what Xiao Yuan said is just too tempting! And although that person is a fiend, he's not unreasonable. If he can really get in touch with him, things will be much easier for him in the Heavenly Tomb! Thinking of this, Blood Blade Saint decided that leading the way wasn't such a bad idea.

For the rest of the journey, Xiao Yuan shamelessly followed the Blood Blade Saint. Along the way, the Energy Body he sensed grew increasingly powerful, some even surpassing the Blood Blade Saint himself. Fortunately, Xiao Yuan managed to avoid the gazes of these Energy Body beings by navigating the gaps between their domains, and with the Blood Blade Saint's protection, he encountered no obstacles along the way. "At our current speed, we should be able to reach that person's Tomb Mansion in a short time."

The Blood Blade Saint was clearly more afraid of Xiao Xuan, and he spoke of him with great respect.

"Hehe, thank you so much, senior! You've been a great help!"

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said.

"Um."

The Blood Blade Saint simply nodded at these words, but soon his steps faltered.

Directly ahead, two elderly men dressed in gray robes with gloomy faces appeared silently, like ghosts.

"Dou Sheng?"

When the two Gray-Clothed Old Man appeared, an indescribable sense of danger suddenly arose in the hearts of Xiao Yuan and the Blood Blade Saint!

"What the hell are these two things?"

Xiao Yuan's face twitched, and he said with a headache.

"The Xiao Clan... they haven't been completely wiped out yet?"

At this moment, one of the Gray-Clothed Old Man paused his indifferent gaze on Xiao Yuan for a moment and said.

"Hmm? Soul Clan scum?"

Xiao Yuan suddenly sensed a repulsive aura emanating from them.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's kill them and get out of here quickly. It's too close to there; if we delay, things might go wrong."

Another Gray-Clothed Old Man frowned and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing his words, a flicker of emotion appeared in Hun Diao's eyes. He nodded and slowly stepped out. As he stepped out, the entire space trembled violently, and ripples spread out from beneath his feet.

When the Hun Diao opened its mouth, billowing black clouds surged forth, then, amidst its roar, condensed into a colossal black python hundreds of feet long. With a flick of its tail, Xiao Yuan heard a series of crackling sounds in the space, and the entire void shattered under the impact of the colossal python.

Such a terrifying attack made Xiao Yuan's expression turn much uglier. Dou Sheng Expert was actually this terrifying, and this was just Energy Body. If it were a real Dou Sheng, how unimaginably terrifying would it be? "Retreat quickly!"

Seeing this, the Blood Blade Saint felt a chill run down his spine. With a flick of his sleeve, a gentle force lifted Xiao Yuan up, and then he sped off into the depths of the Heavenly Tomb with lightning speed.

Why are you running?

Xiao Yuan was stunned. He could already sense the power of the same bloodline coming from the depths of the Heavenly Tomb. This round was already in the bag!

"Damn it, where did these bastards come from? Killing you here is just asking for death! Don't fucking splatter blood on me!"

The Blood Blade Saint ignored Xiao Yuan's question and, as he sprang forth, cursed loudly with a gloomy expression.

"Hmph, a mere Half-Saint dares to act so arrogantly in front of us? Is he courting death?" The sudden turn of events startled Hun Diao and his Hun Diao. They quickly recovered, bursting into angry laughter, and whirled around, shouting in unison, "Lock!"

As the two roared, the Blood Blade Saint had rushed out suddenly froze, and a look of horror appeared on his face. The two Dou Sheng Expert were indeed far beyond his ability to compare.

"With such meager skills, you dare to meddle in other people's business?"

Hun Diao and his companion sneered, stepped into the void, and appeared directly in front of the Blood Blade Saint. With their hands slightly bent, they slammed their fists into the latter's chest. If this punch landed, it would surely blast the Blood Blade Saint into nothingness.

"Laugh!"

However, just as Hun Diao's fist was only half a foot away from the Blood Blade Saint, it suddenly froze! "Who is it?"

Their fists froze, Hun Diao and the other man's expressions changed as they roared in anger.

"It seems there are still remnants of the Soul Clan remaining in this Heavenly Tomb."

As Hun Diao and his companion finished shouting, a faint voice filled with an ancient aura suddenly rang out in the space. At the moment the voice rang out, the space that Hun Diao and his companion Solidified Space crumbled instantly!

"Xiao Xuan?!"

Upon hearing this voice, Hun Diao and his companion were instantly filled with horror.

"Xiao Xuan?!"

Upon hearing Hun Diao and the other's exclamations, Xiao Yuan's body trembled violently. A strange fluctuation suddenly arose in the blood flowing through his body, a fluctuation that carried an extremely familiar feeling.

Under the gaze of all eyes, ripples appeared in the void before Xiao Yuan, and then a figure dressed in light blue clothes silently emerged. The appearance of the figure did not cause any strange phenomena in the world, but there was a faint feeling that everyone in this world could not withstand a single punch or kick from this person.

"The Soul Clan. What a repulsive bloodline."

The figure emerged, raised his head, and revealed a face that, while not exceptionally handsome, always possessed a unique charm. His black hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his pair of jet-black eyes, like black holes, were profound and filled with an unusual wisdom, exuding a captivating allure.
