Huo Xuan waited alone on the second level of the Heavenly Tomb for a long time, the two soul powers constantly clashing within his body. Huo Xuan exerted all his strength to ensure Huo Zhi's safe departure. However, his soul power was severely injured, and in the end, Tang Qiying's soul power regained control of the main body.
Tang Qiying slowly raised his head, the struggle and pain on his face completely gone, replaced by a strange smile. He raised his hands and examined them carefully, his fingers trembling slightly from the intense soul conflict just now.
"Hehehe..."
"I knew you wouldn't die so easily. It's not a loss that you were allowed to come out, given that you're just a little girl."
He slowly moved his neck and limbs, feeling his body regain absolute control. The traces of Huo Xuan were erased, and Tang Qiying's smile widened.
"But it's all over now!"
"Whether it's the Soul Clan or the Flame Clan, what a load of rubbish about belonging and glory! They're all meaningless. Only your own life and your own strength matter!"
He lowered his head, opened his palm, and a wisp of pure, pale black flame danced in his hand, radiating a terrifying destructive power. This was the power he had once dreamed of, the source of his obsession that led to his two defeats at the hands of Xiao Yan's strange fire.
"Xiao Yan, we only exchanged a simple greeting last time we met. Wait until I'm fully familiar with this body, then I'll show you the true strength of a Yan Clan Dou Sheng!"
"Your most relied-upon strange fire, I now possess as well. This time, let's see what you can use to stop me!"
"Hahahahaha!"
……
Deep within the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, two figures swept past one after the other. The figure at the forefront sometimes vanished like wisps of smoke, and sometimes solidified and reappeared dozens of feet away, its trajectory constantly shifting, silent and unpredictable. Closely following behind, the figure was enveloped in a ball of violently flashing lightning, accompanied by ear-piercing crackling sounds.
The immense pressure that existed from the very beginning of the Heavenly Tomb can oppress those who enter it, constantly applying pressure. Ordinary experts here need to expend a lot of battle qi just to maintain flight, and their speed is suppressed to less than one-tenth of its original value.
However, the two of them still moved at a speed far beyond what is reasonable, like chasing stars and the moon!
"Stay here!" the man behind roared, his golden lightning surging once more, his already incredibly fast speed increasing even further. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, the blinding lightning converging into a golden lightning spear as thick as a bucket, which pierced the back of the ghostly figure ahead as if by teleportation.
The figure ahead seemed to have anticipated this, and just as the lightning spear was about to pierce his body, his form twisted to the side as if boneless, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow. The lightning spear grazed the hem of his clothes and exploded in front of him, but despite his several shifts in form, the lightning zone did not slow him down at all.
The person chasing from behind was naturally Lei Dong of the Lei Clan, his gaze fixed intently on the person in front.
He had been observing the great battle since entering the Heavenly Tomb, and then he discovered this strangely elusive figure. Logically speaking, there should be no one in the Spirit Clan more important than Ling Fengzhui, but this person gave Lei Dong a vague feeling: he was not simple, extremely not simple.
Lei Dong then considered him his prey, and during the chase, he discovered something extraordinary. He was completely unable to stop the man in front of him, and the two remained locked in this pursuit.
Lei Dong was a prodigy nurtured by the Lei Clan with all their might, and a Dou Sheng powerhouse who had also made a name for himself outside the clan. He had absolute confidence in his strength. If Lei Jingxiao hadn't specifically mentioned him and created the conditions for him, he, as a Dou Sheng, would have disdained competing with a group of half-saint peers for cultivation resources.
Therefore, Lei Dong believed that he was the strongest person in this Heavenly Tomb. However, after chasing the person in front of him for so long, he still couldn't catch up with him completely. Lei Dong had already confirmed in his heart that the guy in front of him was definitely not a half-saint level spirit race prodigy. His strength was definitely at the Dou Sheng level!
The Spirit Clan, already facing a talent shortage, absolutely could not possibly possess a genius of this caliber. Even if one did emerge, they couldn't possibly hide it. Therefore, there's only one explanation: this guy isn't some Spirit Clan prodigy. The reason the Spirit Clan sent him out, even disregarding the fate of their own clansman, Ling Fengzhui, is quite intriguing, and it's also the biggest reason why Lei Dong relentlessly pursues him.
Not to mention, the peace that the eight ancient clans had barely maintained had already been completely shattered by the Soul Clan's annihilation of the Flame Clan. It would have been better if Lei Dong hadn't come in; now that he was in this Heavenly Tomb, Lei Dong absolutely wouldn't allow anything beyond his control to happen.
"I want to see what kind of scheme the Eldar are up to."
Just as Lei Dong was desperately searching, he suddenly realized that the guy who had been running away from him had suddenly stopped.
Lei Dong's speeding figure suddenly stopped, and the violent golden lightning around him violently contracted. He hovered in the air about a hundred feet away from his opponent, the golden lightning flickering like breathing.
Behind the two, a path leading to the fourth level of the Heavenly Tomb appeared.
Unlike the other levels of the Heavenly Tomb, if you want to go from the third level of the Heavenly Curtain to the fourth level, you need to pass through an obstacle. Although for a true Battle Saint, breaking through this obstacle is only a matter of time, it cannot be completely ignored. And now, this person obviously has nowhere to hide.
"Run? Why did you stop running?" Lei Dong was surrounded by lightning, and his Dou Sheng aura was released without reservation, like a golden storm, crushing towards his opponent.
"Ahead lies the barrier to the fourth level. Even I would have to struggle to get through it. I've been chasing you for so long just to force you to come here. Now we can have a proper chat."
"Hehehehe." The figure, completely concealed beneath the black robe, showed no further intention of moving. Instead, it suddenly laughed, "Lei Dong, you truly have no regard for your own life!"
Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, a battle aura no weaker than Lei Dong's erupted, suppressing the golden lightning storm released by Lei Dong, which then vanished without a trace.
Upon hearing this voice, the excitement in Lei Dong's eyes was instantly replaced by surprise. The reason was simple: he was very familiar with this voice.
"How could it be you, Soul Wind!"
