Fierce Battle with the Ancient Clan!

"I never expected that after our Ancient Clan had used such gentle means to remain in the Xiao Clan for so many years, you would take the Tou She Ancient God Jade right before our eyes in the end?"

"Hun Tianchen, for Hun Tiandi's sake, hand over the Xiao Clan's Tou She Ancient God Jade. Otherwise, don't blame us for showing no mercy today!"

"Hehe, your Ancient Clan has long found our Hun Clan displeasing anyway. If you have the ability, come take this Tou She Ancient God Jade from my hands." Hun Tianchen held the Ancient Jade as he spoke in a deep voice before everyone.

"Very good. A mere junior dares to act so arrogantly before me?" The Ancient Clan Dou Saint snorted angrily and swept his hand. All the Ancient Clan experts charged toward Hun Tianchen!

The instant they moved, figures carrying powerful auras appeared before Hun Tianchen as well.

The Ancient Clan experts looked at those figures and cried out, "The Hall of Souls' Nine Great Heavenly Venerates?"

The First Heavenly Venerate led the Hall of Souls forces and stood guard before Hun Tianchen.

Looking over them, there were not only the Hall of Souls' Nine Great Heavenly Venerates, but also Black and White Venerates, Zhaixing Old Ghost, Mu Gu Elder, Hun Qingsheng...

There were also more than ten Protectors with Dou Zong-level strength.

Such a lineup was no weaker than the Ancient Clan's—perhaps even stronger!

There were three Dou Saints alone, including Hun Miesheng!

Hun Miesheng also arrived from afar. Leading the various forces, he respectfully clasped his fists toward Hun Tianchen and shouted:

"We failed to protect Young Master in time and committed a grave error. We beg Young Master to punish us!"

This overwhelming display thoroughly shocked the Ancient Clan forces on the other side.

A whole group of top-tier figures—Dou Saints, Dou Venerates, and Dou Zongs—were acting so deferentially toward a young man who was merely at the peak of the Dou Zong realm?

Only now did the Ancient Clan members understand Hun Tianchen's status within the Hun Clan.

After all, Hun Tiandi had personally stated within the Hun Clan that Hun Tianchen possessed the talent to surpass him and the potential to advance to become a Dou Di! He was the hope of every member of the Hun Clan.

It was not merely his God-grade Bloodline, nor simply that his talent and potential far surpassed others. Even his strength and physique were monstrously defiant.

How could someone like that possibly hold a low status?

"There is no need for punishment." Hun Tianchen calmly swept his gaze over the Ancient Clan members and tucked the Tou She Ancient God Jade into his pocket. "Leave those Ancient Clan people behind. Not only will your sins be forgiven, but you will also be rewarded."

"Yes, sir!" The Hall of Souls forces shouted in unison and charged in perfect formation toward the Ancient Clan camp.

"Damn Hall of Souls! Hun Miesheng, as the dignified Hall Master of the Hall of Souls, you actually stay by that brat's side at all times? Aren't you afraid of disgracing your status?" Seeing three Dou Saints charging toward him, the Ancient Clan Dou Saint's face filled with despair.

"There is nothing shameful about following Young Master. What is shameful is failing to properly fulfill one's duty to protect him!" A trace of fury appeared on Hun Miesheng's face. "You brought quite an ample force just to deal with Young Master—even sending a Dou Saint! Very well. None of you will leave today!"

Hun Qingsheng gave a sinister laugh and began a fierce battle with the Ancient Clan Dou Saint, wielding the power of a Dou Saint.

"Not a single person is allowed to leave today!" Hun Miesheng slapped his palm down. With his current cultivation at the peak of the four-star Dou Saint realm, he was enough to look down upon everyone present!

Space Lock!

With a single Space Lock, he completely sealed off the Ancient Clan members' hope of retreat. The Ancient Clan Dou Saint shouted:

"Ancient Clan members, gather around me! Protect the young lady at all costs and send her out!"

Gu Xun'er, protected behind numerous Dou Venerates and Dou Zongs, watched this scene with worry filling her exquisite face.

She had originally thought that with so many Ancient Clan experts protecting her, nothing would happen to her. That Dou Saint had come out to protect her as well. She had never expected Hun Tianchen's forces to be even stronger.

There were three Dou Saints alone.

"Young Lady, later we will self-destruct and forcibly tear apart Hun Miesheng's Space Lock. When that happens, you must escape!"

Seeing the Ancient Clan experts before her with their resolve to shatter like jade rather than remain intact like tile, even Gu Xun'er, still young as she was, felt a chill in her heart.

As the two sides battled fiercely, three figures suddenly tore through space and appeared on the battlefield.

"Sigh, in the end, we old fellows still had to act..."

Another three Dou Saints!

And they were all from the Ancient Clan.

"So this is what Young Master meant when he said that three Dou Saints had been watching us ever since we left the Soul Realm?" Hun Miesheng stepped through the void and arrived before the three Ancient Clan Dou Saints. He gave a cold laugh. "Gu Nanhai, I never expected you to still be alive."

"Hun Miesheng, Hall Master of the Hall of Souls. We did not expect you to be personally protecting Hun Tianchen." Facing Hun Miesheng, Gu Nanhai spoke solemnly. "You two, go support the battlefield. I will deal with Hun Miesheng."

"Haha, a mere four-star Dou Saint dares to boast about dealing with me? I would like to see how you intend to do that!"

Gu Nanhai showed no reaction to Hun Miesheng's mockery, though his expression grew somewhat grave.

"I cannot defeat you, but I can hold you back."

"Hmph, Myriad Souls Worship!"

As Hun Miesheng and Gu Nanhai clashed, the situation became unfavorable due to the Ancient Clan gaining two additional Dou Saints.

Hun Qingsheng was still fighting that Dou Saint, while the First Heavenly Venerate also possessed the strength of a two-star Dou Saint, naturally drawing the attention of another Ancient Clan Dou Saint.

"You, go capture that brat Hun Tianchen! With your strength as a two-star Dou Saint, no one can stop you."

The Ancient Clan Dou Saint nodded. Then, moving at a speed that split space itself, he pierced through the Hall of Souls' encirclement with astonishing momentum and charged toward Hun Tianchen.

His expression was incomparably grave. The moment he attacked, he targeted Hun Tianchen directly.

"Brat, die!"

Facing a Dou Saint, Hun Tianchen remained exceedingly calm. He merely smiled faintly as two more Half Saints appeared before him.

Second Heavenly Venerate Gu You, an advanced Half Saint, and Third Heavenly Venerate, a low-level Half Saint, desperately held back the Ancient Clan Dou Saint.

"Young Master, leave quickly! We can hold him off!"

"No need to flee." Hun Tianchen's gaze sharpened. With a sweep of his hand, the Soul Dragon, its body stretching ten thousand zhang, appeared on the battlefield.

"Today, all of your Luck Force and souls will belong to my Hun Clan! Soul Dragon Obscuring the Sun!"

Hun Tianchen shouted, and the colossal Soul Dragon instantly rose above the battlefield, blotting out the sky and sun!

For some reason, when the Soul Dragon covered all the space above them, their cultivation was viciously suppressed by an invisible force, reduced by half.

At the same time, an uncomfortable sensation rose within them, as though something had clogged their noses and left them unable to breathe.

Meanwhile, empowered by the Soul Dragon, the Hall of Souls members fought like fish in water, growing fiercer with every battle. Even Second Heavenly Venerate and Third Heavenly Venerate, working together, managed to hold off the Ancient Clan Dou Saint for a moment.

"What an incredible method, Young Master. Is he truly only at the peak of the nine-star Dou Zong?"

The Hall of Souls members looked at the young man standing atop the void, unable to suppress their awe. Then, as his hand seals changed, a torrential blood-red rain began to pour from the Soul Dragon's body in the sky.

Soul Dragon Blood Rain!
