Chapter 559: Fighting Above His Level
Xiao Ze glanced at the battlefield where the Dou Saints of the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were fighting and raised an eyebrow. The two of them were much stronger than the two Half-Saint puppets they were facing, yet they hadn't finished them off quickly, clearly stalling for time. Moreover, there was no need to create such a massive commotion to deal with the puppets. The surrounding space was distorted to the point that anything entering would be instantly shredded. Even soul power would find it difficult to perceive anything within.
Seeing their exaggerated efforts, Xiao Ze tapped his fingers, sending a few strands of nearly imperceptible Origin Flame into the ground. While each faction was busy with the Half-Saint puppets, the beast tide on the periphery began to shift. A peculiar fire dragon broke through the mass of beasts, entering the depths of the Desolate Ancient Territory.
Xiao Yan felt an intense pressure from multiple overwhelming presences, far more formidable than Yao Lao, making his heart race. As he observed the distant battles, Xiao Yan couldn't help but swallow hard. "They're all Dou Saints..."
Scanning his own group, Xiao Yan let out a wry smile. "How can we possibly compare to them?"
Just then, Xiao Yan noticed one battlefield where a figure in a green and red robe killed an enemy and then flashed over to another group. The brilliant light on the figure's fist made Xiao Yan shout instinctively. "Watch out!"
Realizing his distance, Xiao Yan knew his warning was futile. The Dou Saint's attack would land long before his voice could reach them. His brows furrowed in concern, not recognizing either side, but he quickly widened his eyes when he saw a familiar golden flame.
"Fourth Brother!"
The Origin Flame surged from the ground, forming a barrier of fire that shielded the Gu Clan members, blocking the fierce punch from Yaofeng. Yaofeng was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the golden flame. He had just acted quickly to buy time for Hunshan. The battle had erupted too suddenly, and another battlefield was already engulfed in a storm of souls. Thousands of soul bodies combined to form a massive mountain, pressing down on Xun'er and her companions.
Having just defeated the last Half-Saint puppet, Xun'er and the others faced the overwhelming power of the soul mountain, making their hearts tremble with fear. This was a terrifying power they could hardly resist.
But they didn't sit idly by. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, the Calamity Poison Force, and the mysterious demon eye power all burst forth simultaneously. Before their powers could clash, a figure twisted space, appearing beneath the soul mountain. His right hand condensed with dazzling golden light, and he punched upward. At the same time, his left hand swept downward, sending Xun'er and the others flying towards the Gu Clan's location.
Through the golden little tree, Xiao Ze instructed them, "Hold off the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's Dou Saint for now. Also, watch the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members. Don't let them leave the Bodhi Ancient Tree's shaded area to avoid summoning more Dou Saints!"
The battle's dynamics shifted rapidly, but the golden little tree's message took priority. Without hesitation, Xun'er and her companions followed Xiao Ze's force, quickly reaching the Gu Clan's location. Xun'er's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame burned everything in its path, focusing on attacking Yaofeng. Qing Lin used her Green Snake Three Flower Eyes to interfere, her mental power seeping everywhere. Little Doctor Immortal's Calamity Poison Force provided support, its insidious nature proving difficult to handle. Together, they left Yaofeng scrambling.
Meanwhile, Qing Lin kept an eye on the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members. Led by Gu Qingyang, the Gu Clan quickly retreated, heading towards the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members to cause trouble. Since the two clans had almost killed them with a preemptive strike, there was no reason to hold back. The Bodhi Ancient Tree's shaded area erupted into continuous combat, violent energies tearing space apart, alarming Xiao Yan's group on the periphery.
Among the battlefields, the most intense energy clash occurred where Xiao Ze was. The Origin Flame enveloped Xiao Ze, forming a radiant armor that made him appear like a fiery emperor commanding all flames. The surrounding souls were burned to nothingness by the Origin Flame, remnants of the shattered soul mountain. Hunshan's face darkened, not expecting his meticulously prepared strike to be so easily destroyed by Xiao Ze.
"Since you've attacked, don't think about leaving here alive," Xiao Ze said coldly. If he hadn't blocked the attack, Xun'er and her companions would have struggled to resist it, likely suffering serious injuries. After all, the opponent was a mid-stage Dou Saint!
"Arrogant! You're just good at hiding. Now that you've shown yourself, I see you're only a three-star Dou Saint," Hunshan sneered, refusing to back down. However, a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes. As he had told Yaofeng earlier, Xiao Ze had advanced to Dou Saint recently. Yet the power Xiao Ze displayed was already at the three-star Dou Saint level—a terrifying growth rate.
"Enough talk. Let's settle this with our fists," Xiao Ze said, rapidly unleashing a series of golden palm prints fueled by the Origin Flame. Each print, like a blazing sun, bore down on Hunshan. Hunshan's eyes twitched, recognizing the Emperor's Seal Technique, especially the five-seal combination, which had the power of a low-level heaven-tier skill. Xiao Ze casually wielded multiple seals, each akin to a heaven-tier technique. Not even a Dou Saint could afford to be so wasteful with Dou Qi.
Startled by Xiao Ze's display, Hunshan didn't dare underestimate him. Even he would be severely injured by so many heaven-tier techniques. He sent the soul bodies he had painstakingly gathered flying from his robe, forming a massive black palm print hundreds of feet wide, which clashed with Xiao Ze's golden seals. The collision unleashed an incredible energy wave, tearing space apart and spreading destruction.
The Origin Flame burned the soul bodies to nothingness, each golden seal erasing chunks of the black palm print. Watching his precious soul bodies being incinerated so easily, Hunshan felt a pang of heartache.
