145: The final battle!

A thousand years ago, on a destined, extraordinary night, Gu Yuan, the Clan Chief, was hiding and curled up inside a pitch-black secret chamber.

In his mind were countless messages from the Ancient Clan Elders requesting to join the war.

In the distant Xiao Realm, a world-shaking war was intensely underway, but Gu Yuan was retreating.

At this moment, within the illusion.

A trace of panic flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and immediately, he kept muttering, "You sought death yourself, you sought death yourself!"

"If you hadn't wanted to Breakthrough to Dou Di, how could you have attracted the full assault of the Hun Clan!"

"It was you!"

"It was you who were arrogantly invincible, thinking you could Breakthrough to the legendary Emperor Realm!"

"You gambled everything yourself; it has nothing to do with me!"

Although he spoke this way, Gu Yuan's panic could not conceal what was truly in his heart.

A thousand years had passed; whenever he recalled the events of a millennium ago, he would tremble all over, terrified and palpitating!

But at this very moment, Xiao Xuan, who was before him, merely showed a look of contempt before immediately dissipating.

It wasn't the illusion that dissipated, but Gu Yuan's Soul that was extinguished... In the outside world, Lei Ying and Yan Jin watched helplessly as Gu Yuan's figure suddenly slumped, then directly fell onto the ground.

A Clan Chief of an Imperial Clan died so lightly, just like that!

Lei Ying and Yan Jin would rather believe they were still in an illusion than accept that the opponent had been killed so easily by Xiao Lei!

Members of the Five Great Emperor Clans died one after another, and the remaining people all woke up, but they all looked at Xiao Lei with eyes full of dread.

The battlefield was already littered with corpses, and only a handful of people—a dozen or so—had managed to withstand the Gray Memory.

Naturally, Hun Tiandi was among them!

In order to achieve Dou Di status, the opponent had planned for a millennium, attacked the Xiao Clan, slaughtered living beings, and had long forged an invincible Dao Heart.

"It seems you are the true fighting force of this battle!"

As Xiao Lei’s voice fell, five figures emerged behind him, revealed to be the five women who had emerged from their seclusion.

At this time, even Yun Yun, who had the lowest cultivation previously, had soared to the cultivation of Three-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.

Zi Yan, furthermore, directly Broke through the barrier of Eight Star Dou Sheng and stepped into Nine-Star Dou Sheng Early Stage. Her Dragon body was nearly ten thousand zhang long, and a pair of Sky Phoenix Wings covered the sky and obscured the sun.

Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian were both Seven-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, their aura magnificent.

The Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python had now transformed into a thousand-zhang body, spanning the vast plain, while Xiao Yi Xian stood atop a Poison Crane, surrounded by the Calamity Poison Qi, and similarly had a pair of Demonic Phoenix Bone Wings on her back.

Given Xiao Lei's current Artifact Refining attainment, creating a pair of bone wings was exceptionally simple, and the Materials were naturally Huang Tian from back then!

Having reached such cultivation, the Calamity Poison Qi had long surpassed the limits of ordinary toxins; it was pervasive, the Void Realm could not isolate it, and it could even pierce the Soul!

Xiao Lei and Hun Tiandi stood facing each other from afar. The latter appeared unusually composed, not showing the slightest concern over the deaths of the others.

"Xiao Lei, even if you possess Half-Emperor combat power, you still cannot stop me today! The preparations my Hun Clan has made over the past millennium to achieve the Emperor Realm are beyond your imagination!"

As Hun Tiandi finished speaking, the four living dead beside him simultaneously took out four massive Gate of Deathly Silence.

"Realm of Death!"

Death Qi filled the sky and spread out, completely enveloping the entire battlefield.

Seizing this opportunity, Hun Tiandi urgently mobilized the remaining members of the Hun Clan to activate the grand formations that had been prepared across various locations in the Central Plains.

At the same time, Hun Tiandi unleashed a powerful suction force without hesitation toward the numerous corpses on the ground. Subsequently, countless streams of blood flew out and poured entirely into Hun Tiandi's mouth.

Boom!

Amidst the sky full of Death Qi, a streak of crimson-black flame dispersed, and the entire Realm of Death immediately shattered.

The new strange flame, formed by the Fusion of twenty-two different Strange Flames, burst forth with a dark, concentrated red color, scattering to the side.

The Realm of Death was instantly breached. Soul Yuan Tian and the other three seemed to have suffered a backlash from the Gate of Deathly Silence; the Death Qi on their bodies grew denser. If they did not immediately fall into slumber, they might never awaken after this encounter.

Seeing Xiao Lei and the others reappear, everyone except Hun Tiandi, who was inside the grand formation, launched their final charge toward Xiao Lei. Even the Void Swallowing Flame no longer hid itself; if Xiao Lei was not killed today, it feared it would never obtain the ancient jade to open the Immortal Cave, and it would lose the chance to take revenge on Tuoshe Ancient Emperor!

"You should stay here!"

A ten-thousand-zhang Dragon Phoenix body manifested from the Void Realm. On its forehead, a cluster of purple light arrived instantly, slamming into the Void Swallowing Flame's body.

"Devour!"

The Void Swallowing Flame is capable of devouring everything!

Between its pitch-black palms, a deep vortex materialized, directly absorbing Zi Yan's attack.

Boom!

Above the sky, golden thunder gathered. The next moment, a massive bolt of lightning struck down directly onto the two people, Lei Ying and Yan Jin, who were trying to advance.

"Displaying Minor Skill Before An Expert!"

Lei Ying's expression was gloomy. Daring to play with lightning in front of his Lei Clan!

The long spear in his hand danced, shattering the golden thunder with a single strike.

Just as Lei Ying felt a little smug, thunder clouds surged. The next moment, a brilliant Golden Dragon actually appeared directly. A pair of majestic Dragon eyes scanned the surroundings, and the aura comparable to that of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng scattered down from its body.

"Nine Mysterious Golden Dragon!"

Only two of the Hun Clan Four Demon Saints remained, and among the three immortals of the ancient clan, only Gu Jian survived. The next moment, these three were suddenly locked onto by a powerful Soul Strength.

A massive eye appeared in everyone's vision, followed immediately by the figure of a somewhat petite woman. That person's aura was not strong, merely Six-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, yet her Soul Strength was like a surging, boundless ocean!

The next moment, all three fell silent!

And Hun Tiandi, who was in the center of the grand formation, suddenly let out a loud laugh toward the sky, "Xiao Lei, I should thank you! Having personally slaughtered so many people, it saves me the trouble of doing it myself!"

"As a thank you gift, if you lose this battle, I will venture deep into the Void Realm, seek out your Purple Lightning, and slaughter them all, including all your women. Not a single one will escape!"

"Soul Devouring Life Severing Formation—Activate!"

As the words fell, a grand formation radiating across the entire Central Plains violently took shape. Countless beams of bloody light shot up into the sky and converged into the formation.

"It seems you haven't just waited around like that trash Gu Yuan this past year!"

Over the past year, Hun Tiandi utilized the various forces of the Hall of Souls throughout the Central Plains to set up countless foundation points for the grand formations, and even captured countless living beings in advance, just waiting for today's battle.

"Xiao Lei, don't just say you are merely a Half-Emperor now; even a true Dou Di, my Hun Clan has slain countless of them throughout history!"

"Today, I invite you to evaluate my clan's Emperor Slaying Formation!"

As he finished speaking, within Xiao Lei's perception, a Small World was actually being moved over.

The Soul Realm!

The boundary wall opened, revealing the tens of millions of populace inside.

Subsequently, a million of them instantly died violently, transforming into soaring bloody light that merged into the grand formation.

"Emperor Slaying Ghost Blood Blade!"

A strange snowy figure appeared in Hun Tiandi's hand. The blood blade flickered with countless rays of bloody light, revealing an evil and sinister aura.

The blood blade had no hilt, yet it seemed capable of connecting heaven and earth!

Bloody Qi ran rampant!

Hun Tiandi's aura reached its peak at this moment. Having devoured countless flesh and blood, he similarly stood at the apex of heaven and earth.

A Half-Emperor body, coupled with supreme methods!
