116: Sky Tomb Energy Storm!

Chapter 116: Heavenly Tomb Energy Storm!

"As early as a month ago, I tracked your whereabouts with my Soul Eye. Only today did I decide to make my move. Can you guess if I was fully prepared before acting? Today, this will be your burial ground," Hun Ya said with a sinister laugh.

Gu Xun'er said no more. Her face was calm, her eyes reflecting golden flames, a cluster of fire burning in her pupils, and the seven-colored divine 紋 on her forehead diffused seven hues.

"Go together, Hun Li, kill him!" Hun Ya's pale face curved into a chilling arc, he commanded.

As he spoke, the black-robed man beside Hun Ya moved, revealing a face covered in scars.

This man was named Hun Li, a Heavenly Pride of the Soul Clan, whose hands had been stained with the blood of many Ancient Clan Heavenly Pride. His face beneath the cloak was scarred, his gaze indifferent, unmoved even by Gu Xun'er's peerless beauty.

"I wonder if Miss Xun'er can withstand the attacks of two eight-star Dou Zuns. Even with a divine bloodline, she probably won't be able to hold on," Hun Ya said with a sinister laugh, his pale face filled with killing intent.

Gu Xun'er said nothing more, golden flames swirling in her eyes. At this very moment, Hun Li, standing beside Hun Ya, stomped his foot, his figure appearing before Gu Xun'er like lightning. His fist, imbued with chilling cold, mercilessly struck towards Gu Xun Er's delicate neck.

"Bang--"

Fists and palms met, Hun Ya stumbled back two steps with a sickly smile in his eyes. Gu Xun Er, on the other hand, moved with mysterious steps, easily deflecting Hun Ya's attack.

"As expected of a divine bloodline, but this is as far as it goes!" Hun Ya said with a venomous laugh.

He saw that Hun Li's offensive in the arena, though fierce, was being led by the nose by Gu Xun'er, and it probably wouldn't be long before he was defeated.

Without further delay, to kill Gu Xun'er, Hun Ya opened his mouth and spat out a giant black dragon. Upon closer inspection, one could see that this giant dragon was formed from numerous condensed soul bodies, emitting resentment and various negative emotions.

It could easily pollute a person's soul upon contact.

At the same time, a black chain appeared in the void beside Gu Xun'er.

Seeing these two attacks about to strike Gu Xun'er.

The young girl's eyes narrowed. Holding a fiery long whip, with a resounding crack, the black chain was locked in a stalemate with the fiery long whip. At their point of contact, flames and black energy could be faintly seen consuming each other.

"You have some skill, but this is as far as it goes! Today, this will be your burial ground!" Hun Ya looked at Gu Xun'er with a slight surprise. As expected of a divine bloodline. His gaze was extremely sinister, like a venomous snake.

The giant black dragon opened its ferocious mouth, about to swallow Gu Xun Er.

Gu Xun Er, however, smiled at Hun Ya, "Is that so?"

This unusual behavior unsettled Hun Ya, and he wanted to control the giant black dragon to quickly swallow Gu Xun Er.

At this moment, a vast energy fluctuation came from the void, along with five utterly indifferent voices.

"It is you who will go no further!"

"Miss Xun'er, we are late!"

"For this matter, the Soul Clan must give our Ancient Clan an explanation!"

As the words fell, five figures emerged from the void. They were the Heavenly Pride of the Ancient Clan who had entered the Heavenly Tomb this time.

Without much effort, the five individuals, who had been secretly monitoring Hun Ya's actions, joined forces and captured him.

Without its master's control, the black dragon lost its power and was easily avoided by Gu Xun'er.

"How is this possible?!" Hun Ya's resentful voice rang out, looking at Gu Xun'er in disbelief.

"This time, thanks to Young Master Lu's reminder."

Gu Xun'er secretly rejoiced. Dealing with two eight-star Dou Zuns was not an easy task for her. If these two chose to fight to the death, even she would be severely injured.

It was precisely because of Lu Chuan's reminder that before entering the Heavenly Tomb, she had five other Ancient Clan Heavenly Pride ambushed around her, waiting for the Soul Clan members to fall into their trap.

... ...

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, time flowed slowly. Xiao Xun Er had only stayed for three months, but a year and a half had passed in the outside world.

During these three months, she had killed many Heavenly Tomb energy bodies, and her cultivation had reached the nine-star Dou Zun, only one step away from being a Half-Saint.

However, this single step had crushed countless geniuses.

The reason for this was that within this short step, a unique form of cultivation was hidden, a form that only those strong enough to approach this level could sense.

In the Central Plains, some top powerhouses referred to this unique cultivation as the 'Nine Revolutions to Sainthood'!

The so-called Nine Revolutions was a quantifier specifically used to measure the gap between the peak of Dou Zun and a Half-Saint. After all, the difference between these two was truly terrifying, requiring a seemingly subtle but actually vastly different level to distinguish.

The Nine Revolutions were not complicated. Simply put, they could also be called nine times of refining and compressing. When a powerhouse at the peak of Dou Zun found their internal Dou Qi full and unable to increase further, that was when the Nine Revolutions began. At this point, they needed to refine and compress all the Dou Qi within their body, ultimately creating empty spaces within their full body that could accommodate new Dou Qi.

And when the Dou Qi became full again, they had to continue refining!

Repeating this nine times would lead to Great Perfection!

And the Dou Qi within the body would also undergo a qualitative change under this compression, thereby leaping over that immeasurable chasm and truly advancing to the Saint rank!

Therefore, some powerhouses who reached this step called this cultivation hidden within the peak of Dou Zun the Nine Revolutions!

Only after Nine Revolutions could one become a Saint!

These Nine Revolutions sounded simple, but in practice, they were truly life-threatening.

Imagine the terrifying amount of Dou Qi a peak Dou Zun powerhouse could hold, and the need to fill it, nine times over.

Such a demand was worthy of the word 'terrifying'. However, Xiao Xun Er's talent was exceptionally strong. She successfully completed the first revolution in just five days, a speed that made Gu Qingyang and others feel ashamed.

However, after Gu Xun'er cultivated to the peak of the second revolution Dou Zun, an abnormal change suddenly occurred within the Heavenly Tomb.

Xun'er's cheek slightly changed, and she hurriedly looked up, only to see a magnificent line connecting heaven and earth rapidly spreading from the horizon.

"This is... the Heavenly Tomb's energy storm!" Xun'er exclaimed loudly.

This Heavenly Tomb energy storm was a natural disaster of this place, with extremely terrifying power. Even peak Dou Zun powerhouses caught in it would surely die.

In previous instances, many young powerhouses from various clans who entered the Heavenly Tomb, those with bad luck, mostly encountered energy storms and were swept into them.
