Chapter 228 The Arrival of the Lord of the Heavens
Faced with such a terrifying enemy, with no hope of victory in sight, the Soul Clan fell into a deathly silence of despair.
The Dou Sheng elders collapsed to the ground, the flames of the Void Devouring Flame hung low, and the Soul Emperor's hand holding the broken blade trembled slightly.
Although they were the most powerful ancient race, and even had a half-emperor like the Soul Emperor, they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance when facing a true Dou Di level powerhouse like Yao Lao. All that remained was a deep-seated despair.
But in that moment when the deathly silence was at its peak, a sudden change occurred.
The old doctor felt his soul power suddenly stagnate.
"What is this—?" The old doctor frowned, suddenly feeling a brand appearing deep in his soul.
It was a contract, a contract that was clearly just written inscriptions, yet it was as vast as the universe and as weighty as billions of years and spaces.
"Is this the mark of the Pavilion of All Heavens?"
The old man was startled, and his mind was instantly filled with turbulent waves.
Meanwhile, a million miles away on the border of the Chuyun Empire, Xiao Yan was standing on the ruins of the Heavenly Burial Ravine when the four-colored flames at his fingertips suddenly froze in mid-air.
The contract mark deep within his soul suddenly ignited, and a familiar wave spread along the bond of his soul, traversing millions of miles of void, resonating with the feelings of the old man.
"It's the contract of the Heavenly Pavilion! The contract has been completed?!" The moment he sensed the contract being established, Xiao Yan suddenly looked up and gazed in the direction of the Soul Realm.
Even across endless mountains and rivers, he could clearly sense that in the distant void where his teacher was, a portal seemed to be slowly being pushed open.
The next second, an extremely vast wave erupted from the Soul Realm!
boom!!
The wave pierced through heaven and earth, shook the void of the universe, and even overturned the sky of the Soul Realm. The wave swept in all directions, and centered on the Soul Realm, it swept across the entire Dou Qi Continent like a tidal wave!
In an instant, from Xiao Yan's perspective, in the area swept by the fluctuations, everything—from the sea of clouds in the sky, the brilliance of the stars, the magma underground, to the various worlds in the void, and even the birds flying across the sky—froze in place, their wings still flapping in the arc.
Everything was frozen in time by that force, becoming a still painting.
"Oh My God-"
Xiao Yan stared in disbelief at everything before him.
At this moment, the entire Dou Qi Continent, from the remote Northwest Continent to the barbarian lands in the south of the continent, and then to the Central State in the center of the continent.
Wherever there is life, one can sense the oppressive force emanating from the depths of the void, as if billions of suns were hanging upside down overhead, about to crush the heavens and the earth!
At the center of this turmoil, a portal stands in the Soul Realm.
That portal is untouchable and invisible, both from the perspective of the soul and the material world.
But both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan could sense that something was about to descend.
Metaphor!
A series of booming sounds, as if tearing through the void, emanated from the portal.
Clusters of translucent crystals slowly descended from behind the door—one, two, ten—a total of 129,600 crystals, as large as mountains and houses, descended!
Each crystal was tens of feet in size, as clear as glass, and shone brightly, shaking the void in all directions, making the entire dark soul realm shine like a star.
The light emitted by the crystal was more intense than that of the sun, yet it was not dazzling. It seemed to contain countless mysteries of knowledge, a manifestation of the spirit, vast and boundless.
Faced with such immense power, even Yao Lao couldn't help but feel his mind shaken, and his body, at the ninth level of the Realm Lord, began to tremble.
In his eyes, each crystal was like a condensed star, containing power far exceeding his current strength, comparable to a Dou Di, enough to easily destroy the entire Dou Qi Continent.
The next moment, a gaze seemed to descend from among the countless crystals and land on the Soul Emperor.
In an instant, it felt as if a planet was pressing down on him. Soul Emperor's soul and body went limp, his legs buckled, and he crashed heavily to the ground.
The Soul Clan Lord, who was high above and regarded even by ancient races as food, was now trembling all over and sweating profusely.
That gaze was like Mount Tai pressing down, chilling to the bone. Under that gaze, the Soul Emperor felt as if he were standing naked in the snow and ice, as if all his thoughts had nowhere to go.
This made the Soul Emperor's teeth chatter and his whole body tremble. He felt that if he had even the slightest thought of resistance, he would immediately perish.
An inexplicable fear overwhelmed the Soul Emperor's heart.
The Void Devouring Flame shrank to the size of a fist, trembling and clinging to the ground, its black flames flickering weakly. "What is this?!"
The Soul Emperor's voice was filled with fear, as if he were dreaming.
The mere fact that Yao Chen, a useless person abandoned by an ancient race, had become a Dou Di had already driven him somewhat mad.
But the scene before him left him with no thought whatsoever.
I have absolutely no idea what kind of power this is.
"Interesting, so this is the Soul Emperor?"
The owner of that gaze smiled and uttered a voice that sounded familiar to the old doctor.
The next moment, the gaze was withdrawn.
The old doctor and the Heavenly Emperor of Souls witnessed the countless crystals, as vast and boundless as a galaxy, melting and fusing like flesh and blood, ultimately coalescing into a young man's figure.
It was Xu Qing, the Pavilion Master of the Zhutian Pavilion.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master."
The old doctor bowed deeply, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly.
Although he had previously guessed the other party's strength through the items in the Zhutian Pavilion, only after witnessing firsthand how the power of the entire Dou Qi Continent space was stopped with a single thought did he realize the gap between himself and the other party was like that between a firefly and the sun and moon. Xu Qing nodded lightly, his gaze sweeping over the Soul Clan members on the ground, finally landing on the Soul Emperor, his tone carrying a hint of amusement: "This is the Soul Emperor? Dou Di bloodline, not bad."
This feeling of being transported to another world is really great.
He paused, as if remembering something, and turned to look at the old apothecary.
"However, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Palace hasn't been opened yet?"
Upon hearing the words "Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Mansion," Yao Lao's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed and replied, "Please forgive me, Pavilion Master! I will immediately go and retrieve the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, and open the cave door for you!"
He dared not delay for a moment and was about to set off immediately.
"No need to trouble yourself." Xu Qing waved his hand, his fingertips lightly tracing the air.
The void cracked open like paper, and a fissure slowly widened. The next second, a vast plain suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The plains stretched endlessly, even more vast than the entire Soul Realm. The air was filled with an ancient aura that shared the same origin as the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, and even the air itself exuded the pressure of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor).
"This...this is the Ancient Emperor's Palace of Tuoshe?!" Yao Lao exclaimed in shock. He had imagined what the Ancient Emperor's Palace looked like countless times, but he had never thought that a cave dwelling could be a complete world!
