606: Chapter 606 Advancing to Eight Stars, Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole
Hun Tiandi was extremely excited; the Soul Devouring Secret Method would surely become his trump card.
This secret method no longer had any side effects.
Within the Time Tower, by virtue of the ability to reverse time, his true body passed the days one by one, his figure as steady as a mountain.
The healing of his soul injuries and the successful deduction of the Soul Devouring Secret Method only caused a moment of excitement.
Strange waves of energy flowed across his body, echoing around him.
Rumble!
The purple lightning around him also erupted with a roar at this moment, strands of extremely vast energy appearing like tangible silk ribbons.
They circulated around his body before frantically pouring down into the top of his head.
Faced with this robust energy, his figure did not waver in the slightest; his body was like a thirsty Taotie, allowing the energy of heaven and earth and the purple lightning to sink into his body.
As the power poured in, a lightning vortex nearly a hundred feet large condensed above his head.
The vortex rotated at high speed, and strands of frantic energy were torn down.
Buzz!
The lightning vortex lasted for an unknown amount of time before showing signs of weakening, and purple lightning erupted around Hun Tiandi.
If anyone saw this, they would think the Thunder Emperor had descended into the world, radiating a pressure that made heaven and earth submit.
The vortex grew weaker and weaker until it finally slowly dissipated.
The lightning energy on the surface of his body also tunneled into his System Panel and disappeared during its movement.
After the vortex completely vanished, Hun Tiandi's tightly closed eyes finally twitched slightly.
A moment later, they suddenly snapped open.
Boom!
The moment his eyes opened, his purple eyes suddenly erupted with two beams of purple lightning essence, which, like sharp swords, tore through the space before him and rushed into the endless void.
Finally, they completely disappeared.
Phew!
A breath like a lightning dragon was exhaled from his mouth; at this moment, his long hair was as black as ink, and jumping electric arcs could be faintly seen on his crystal clear System Panel.
"Eight-Star Dou Zong, is it..."
Stretching out his palm and clenching it tightly, he felt the power within his body that had surged several times over; a cold and demonic look appeared on Hun Tiandi's face.
A smile that was hard to suppress also surfaced; he hadn't expected to use the energy of the purple flame thunder bead to achieve a breakthrough here.
A complete promotion here.
Having advanced to Eight-Star, if Hun Tiandi were to use the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method now, his strength would surge sevenfold; with this level of strength plus various means...
Even against an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Zun, he would have the power to fight.
"Now, if I encounter Pavilion Master You Quan or Mu Qingluan, I can fight them without being at a disadvantage even without using my trump cards, or even kill them..."
A flash of ferocity appeared in the depths of Hun Tiandi's eyes, and he then looked up, his gaze falling on the lingxiao jade butterfly and the purple flame thunder bead, a look of fortune appearing on his face.
"Jie jie jie, today is truly a good day..."
Seeing this, Hun Tiandi laughed arrogantly within the Time Tower, then stood up and stretched.
With a flick of his sleeve, he put away the lingxiao jade butterfly.
Holding the purple flame thunder bead in his hand, he looked down at the significantly dimmed bead; this item was still incomplete, and he wondered how powerful it would be once it was whole.
In the future, he would have to spend some effort to find the fragments of the purple flame thunder bead.
Then, he slowly stepped out of the Time Tower and headed to the Star Palace.
In the great hall, only the Blood God sat alone; seeing the true body enter and sensing the robust aura on him, an evil smile appeared on his demonic face.
"You broke through?" the Blood God spoke indifferently.
"Eight-Star Dou Zong! Not far from the Dou Zun level..." The true body smiled, took a sip of tea, and said.
After the true body broke through to the Eight-Star level, the cultivation of the clone, the Blood God, also reached Eight-Star Dou Zong.
The Blood God explained the plan for the true body to review, to see if anything had been missed.
"Since the true body has come out of seclusion, let the plan to lure the snake out of its hole begin!" The Blood God's expression turned serious as he spoke slowly.
The true body nodded and spoke indifferently: "For this trip to the Central Plains, you should go personally!"
"I want the two major sects of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance to be completely wiped out from the Central Plains!"
"Hmm? If I leave and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance attacks..." the Blood God said worriedly.
"Don't worry!" the true body said confidently.
The Blood God nodded slightly and then left the Star Palace to officially begin the plan; the clone did not hide his tracks and left in a grand manner.
At the same time, a group of experts from the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty quietly left the Black-Corner Region in secret.
In the Black-Corner Region, spies from various forces saw the Dazheng Emperor leave.
Especially the secret agents of the Xiao Family, who quickly sent the information back to the Jia Ma Empire, the Xiao Family residence.
The discussion hall!
Xiao Lin looked at the message in his hand, a flash of joy crossing his eyes, and he looked up at everyone, speaking slowly: "Hun Tiandi has already left the Black-Corner Region and headed for the Central Plains!"
"The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain has already been half-successful; the plan to destroy the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty can also begin!"
"Yes, the fierce tiger has left its den; summon the people of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance to gather in the Black-Corner Region!" Xiao Ding spoke.
"Hun Tiandi, your end has come!" Xiao Li said coldly, filled with killing intent.
His son, Xiao Yujie, had fallen at the hands of Hun Tiandi; such a blood feud for his son's death was irreconcilable.
"Xiao Li, accompany the Clan Leader to the Central Plains to exchange for Qing Lin's return!" Suddenly, Xiao Ding turned to look at Xiao Li and spoke.
"Big brother, Yujie died in battle, and I want to take revenge personally. Why are you sending me to the Central Plains?" Xiao Li was furious upon hearing this.
"Second brother, I will avenge Yujie. This battle cannot afford any mistakes; the safety of Xiao Lin and Qing Lin is of paramount importance!" Xiao Ding stood up and looked solemnly at Xiao Li, speaking word for word.
"Why does the Clan Leader need to go?"
Xiao Li asked, puzzled.
"Hahaha, to exchange members of the Hun Clan for Qing Lin, only the Clan Leader's presence is significant enough!"
"If our Xiao Family just sends any elder, would Hun Tiandi show any respect?"
"It might even threaten Qing Lin's safety; given Hun Tiandi's ruthless nature, if the Clan Leader doesn't show up, the deal won't be made!"
Xiao Ding explained, to prevent Xiao Li from acting rashly and ruining the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingluan also received the message and quickly returned to the Central Plains to report to Saint Feng and prepare early.
Xiao Lin led a group of elders and headed grandly toward the Central Plains; at the same time, within the Xiao Family, a letter also quietly made its way out.
Black-Corner Region, Star Palace.
Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes, while behind him, Lei Xuanji's jade-like hands gently massaged his brow to relieve his fatigue.
"Xuanji, once this battle is over, return to the Lei Clan and inform the Lei Clan Leader..."
"Alright!" Lei Xuanji said firmly.
"Your Majesty, intelligence has arrived!" A respectful voice sounded from outside the hall.
"Enter!"
Jin Shi quickly entered, holding a memorial in his hands, respectfully placed it on the desk, and waited patiently.
Hun Tiandi picked up the memorial and looked at the intelligence sent back from the Xiao Family.
"Jie jie, luring the tiger away from the mountain?"
"Little do they know that my plan to lure the snake out of its hole has also begun!"
"Luring the tiger away from the mountain? Luring the snake out of its hole?" Lei Xuanji asked in confusion.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain? Luring the snake out of its hole? They both mean the same thing, just that the targets are different.
The Xiao Family set the exchange location in the Central Plains because they want me to leave the Black-Corner Region to weaken my power.
If it were in the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, I could mobilize many resources.
But in the Central Plains, I would be isolated and without help; the headquarters of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance is the Starfall Pavilion.
"Then aren't you in great danger?" Lei Xuanji asked with a worried expression.
"No matter, this is also my plan to lure the snake out of its hole!" The distance from the Black-Corner Region to the Jia Ma Empire isn't that far for a Dou Zong or Dou Zun expert.
For a Dou Sheng expert, it's just a stone's throw away!
"Are you saying the Xiao Family will deploy a Dou Sheng expert?" Lei Xuanji asked.
"They will, and even the entire Heavenly Mansion Alliance; behind them, there might even be the handiwork of the Gu Clan or the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty..."
"However, it doesn't matter if the trading location is in the Central Plains. If the Xiao Family doesn't send out heavyweights, they won't even dream of seeing the Green Scale Snake Saint even if we are face to face!"
Hun Tiandi said with certainty.
