Breaking through to Dou Zong
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and an aura suddenly burst forth from his body, causing everyone around him to tremble. In particular, the Iron Protector kneeling in front of Xiao Yu felt his heart tremble violently and was filled with fear!
Boom!
An extremely oppressive aura suddenly emanated from high above, and dark clouds began to gather in the clear sky. The overwhelming power of the heavens made everyone frown. Xiao Yu also frowned and looked up at the sky. The Heavenly Tribulation had begun!
Xiao Yu quickly withdrew his gaze from the Heavenly Tribulation and looked at Iron Protector, asking, "Where is the other one?"
Iron Protector looked at Xiao Yu with trepidation. He felt fear emanating from Xiao Yu. The eerie flames struck straight to the soul. Iron Protector Iron Protector knew about the tortures the Soul Hall used on souls, and even those were three points weaker than the flames. Iron Protector dared not hide anything.
"The other one is a respected elder of my Soul Hall. Actually, I don't know where he is now. However, when we came to the Northwest region together, Protector Jiang went to several major empires, while I came to this Black Corner Region, and that respected elder went to those sects in the Northwest. So now I don't know where the respected elder is!" Iron Protector said slowly in a deep voice.
Yun Yun then looked at Iron Protector and asked, "So how do you two communicate?"
"Only Elder Zun can contact us; we have no way to do so!" Iron Protector looked at Xiao Yu expressionlessly. "Give me a quick death!"
Xiao Yu knew that this guy was probably not lying. With a single wave of his hand, the Chaos Flame swept over the Iron Protector's body. In just an instant, the Iron Protector disappeared into the world without a trace!
Then Xiao Yu looked at Yun Yun and the others and said, "The elders of the Soul Hall are at least Dou Zun level experts. Since this elder went to those sects in the Northwest, I think the Heavenly Snake Mansion must be one of the places he went to. I even suspect that he went there specifically to target the Heavenly Snake Mansion!"
"So you're going to the Heavenly Snake Mansion?" Cai Lin immediately guessed his intention. After saying all that, he was actually going to the Heavenly Snake Mansion!
Xiao Yu's gaze fell upon the increasingly powerful Heavenly Tribulation gathering in the sky. An extremely strong pressure made even these Dou Zong struggle to breathe. Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, after this heavenly Heavenly Tribulation, perhaps even I, Dou Zun, can withstand it!"
Yun Yun anxiously grabbed Xiao Yu's hand, her eyes filled with worry. Xiao Yu Xiao Yu out and patted Yun Yun's head, smiling gently, "Don't worry, it's alright. Danger brings opportunity. You two go back first!"
Yun Yun shook her head firmly and said, "No, I'll wait for you here!"
Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian nodded and said, "That's right, we'll wait for you to go back together!"
Xiao Yu sighed softly, "Alright then, it's just a Heavenly Tribulation. Watch how I destroy it!"
After saying that, Xiao Yu stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing the ground to crack instantly, and Xiao Yu body shot into the sky like a cannonball.
"Click!"
Within the thick, dark clouds, crimson lightning snaked and writhed, emanating a terrifying aura. As Xiao Yu rapidly approached the clouds, a soft sound rang out, and a bolt of purple lightning crashed down!
Boom!
A layer of light red, mysterious runes appeared on Xiao Yu's body. These were the cultivation runes of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body. The light purple lightning struck Xiao Yu hard, and the red runes immediately flashed with a red light!
Xiao Yu's body was slammed into the ground by lightning, creating a large crater in front of everyone, stirring up a cloud of dust. Soon, when the dust settled, Xiao Yu was seen standing in the crater, completely unharmed!
Yun Yun and the others, who had been standing on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief. However, the Heavenly Tribulation had only just begun, and more and more lightning bolts struck down, their power increasing and their color changing from light purple to deep red!
The energy left by the lightning within Xiao Yu's body continued to circulate, and his eyes had turned a deep red, just like the lightning. Streaks of lightning flashed across Xiao Yu's dark pupils, and terrifying power continuously tore apart Xiao Yu's flesh and soul, and then healed them. This also allowed Xiao Yu's strength to slowly increase imperceptibly!
Time slowly passed, and the speed at which the lightning struck down from the dark clouds gradually slowed down. Xiao Yu looked up into the clouds, clenched his fist, and wisps of lightning power gathered on it. "Ah!"
With a roar, Xiao Yu shot towards the dark clouds like lightning. His speed was unmatched, even by his previous Xiao Yu Moon Chase technique. As he flew through the clouds, Xiao Yu unleashed a powerful punch!
The fierce fist wind, carrying the power of thunder, shattered the entire cloud layer, and the Heavenly Tribulation quietly dissipated at that moment.
Xiao Yu no longer needed to rely on his Dou Qi Wings. Instead, he floated in mid-air, using the power of space and the energy between heaven and earth to resonate with it. An extremely vast aura slowly emanated from Xiao Yu's body!
Hai Bodong said with an extremely solemn expression, "Xiao Yu's aura doesn't seem to be that of someone who has just stepped into the Dou Zong, does it?"
Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and Cai Lin could all sense that their Dou Qi was somewhat stagnant at this moment, suppressed by Xiao Yu's aura. It was truly unbelievable that Yun Yun, whose strength had already reached the Seven-star Dou Zong, would also experience this.
Yun Yun said, "Xiao Yu's current strength, just as he said before, might actually be enough to rival a Dou Zun!"
Xiao Yu stood suspended in mid-air, feeling the power within him that was more than ten times stronger than before. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. "Is this the strength of Dou Zong? It's certainly different from Dou Zong. Moreover, my whole body is now bursting with power. Although my strength has stopped at the Four-Star Dou Zong, I should be invincible within the Dou Zong realm now. If it were One-star Dou Zun, I suppose I could withstand a few moves. But the specifics will probably have to wait until we actually have a real fight!"
Xiao Yu shook his head, no longer dwelling on these matters. With a swift movement, he appeared before everyone in an instant, chuckling, "Let's go. We've weathered this ordeal!"
Everyone smiled and said, "Congratulations on reaching the Dou Zong realm!"
Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Your talent is truly enviable. I've never seen anyone break through to the Dou Zong and cause such a commotion!"
Xiao Yu shrugged and said, "It's a matter of talent; there's nothing we can do about it!"
Xiao Ding chuckled wryly and punched Xiao Yu on the shoulder, saying, "You rascal!"
"Hahaha!"
It has to be said that Xiao Yu's words and expression were really annoying. As they talked, they walked out of the canyon. Soon, flames suddenly surged up from the many corpses in the canyon. In a few breaths, the place returned to calm. A gentle breeze blew, and there was no trace left in the canyon!
P. S.: I'll be taking a day off for the May Day holiday. Sorry about that. Happy May Day everyone!
