"Little Fellow..."
"Are you truly sure you don't need this Venerable to act? As you are now, you're no match for a Half-Saint..."
Xiao Xuan's voice echoed faintly in Xiao Yi's mind.
Xiao Yi, with a solemn expression, responded in a low voice, "Ancestor..."
"The Grand Heavenly Lord has not yet appeared. If you reveal yourself, I fear it will attract the Hun Tiandi, and then it will be troublesome..."
Xiao Xuan sighed upon hearing this, then stopped speaking.
However, at this moment, the Third Heaven Venerable had already arrived before Xiao Yi!
The Third Heaven Venerable slowly raised his hand, and a purplish-black Qi enveloped Xiao Yi, directly sealing his Meridians... "Boy, this Venerable told you..."
"Leaving you with one breath means you're still alive..."
After the Third Heaven Venerable finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand.
The Void Realm behind him suddenly shattered, and a huge blood-colored claw emerged from it, striking directly at Xiao Yi...
However, at this critical moment, a golden light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.
Then, Xiao Yi lightly raised his hand, deflecting the Third Heaven Venerable's incoming blood-colored claw...
"This Qi!?"
"What secret technique did you use, boy? How can you also reach the Half-Saint Realm?"
Feeling the Half-Saint Qi emanating from Xiao Yi at this moment, the Third Heaven Venerable, who had been calm and confident until now, showed a hint of panic on his face!
But as the Third Heaven Venerable of the Hall of Souls, he was well-traveled...
He quickly calmed down: "This Venerable wants to see how long your Half-Saint power can last!"
As he spoke, the Third Heaven Venerable suddenly flicked his arms, and dozens of pitch-black Soul Chains erupted from the Void Realm behind him.
The tips of the chains were coated with highly corrosive dark purple Soul poison, shooting towards Xiao Yi opposite him like venomous snakes emerging from their lairs.
Each Soul Chain contained Half-Saint pressure, tearing the space into tiny cracks, creating a terrifying momentum.
At this moment, golden patterns quietly appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes.
A Half-Saint Qi burst forth from his body!
Xiao Xuan, after all, could not rest assured and took over Xiao Yi's body.
But Xiao Xuan only controlled his power to the Half-Saint Realm, the same level as the Third Heaven Venerable!
He did not appear too outrageous...
Facing the incoming Soul Chains, Xiao Yi moved his feet lightly, seemingly slowly.
Yet he precisely avoided all attacks, while simultaneously forming a palm with his right hand, a wisp of light red Qi condensing in his palm.
This wisp of energy seemed weak, but it carried an ancient and domineering Qi.
Xiao Yi raised his hand and struck the Void Realm, the red palm print suddenly enlarging.
Upon collision with the Soul Chains, there was no earth-shattering roar, only a faint "sizzling" sound.
Those terrifying Soul Locks that could penetrate everything instantly dissipated the moment they touched the palm print.
"Impossible! This kind of power is definitely the manifestation of just stepping into the Half-Saint Realm!"
"What exactly is going on with your power?"
The Third Heaven Venerable's pupils constricted, and his body under the black robe trembled slightly.
The next second, the Third Heaven Venerable suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of pitch-black essence blood, all of which splattered in front of him.
In an instant, the Void Realm in front of the Third Heaven Venerable suddenly shattered, and a huge skull formed by Soul fire emerged.
The skull spewed out thick black mist, and wherever the black mist passed, the space was dyed ink-black!
"Soul Prison Devouring Heaven!"
The Third Heaven Venerable roared, controlling the black mist to sweep towards Xiao Yi.
The black mist contained countless resentful Souls, which the Third Heaven Venerable had collected over many years.
It could devour the opponent's Dou Qi and Soul; even a Half-Saint of the same rank needed to deal with it cautiously.
But at this moment, Xiao Yi's expression remained calm.
He lightly raised his left hand, golden patterns flickering at his fingertips.
He did not activate the abnormal fire, but merely condensed Half-Saint Dou Qi into a golden light blade.
Although the light blade was short, it exuded an Qi that could cut through illusions.
Xiao Yi casually waved his hand, and the golden light blade sliced through the Void Realm, splitting the black mist in half as if cutting tofu.
Even more terrifying, the light blade's momentum did not diminish, and it went straight for the Third Heaven Venerable.
"Clang!"
The Third Heaven Venerable dared not be careless and immediately circulated the Dou Qi within his body to resist!
But he suddenly discovered that the power of this inconspicuous light blade was so terrifying!
Even for him, blocking it was so difficult!
"Who exactly are you?"
The Third Heaven Venerable finally realized something was wrong; the "Xiao Yi" before him was displaying strength far beyond that of an ordinary Half-Saint.
That sense of control and domineering Qi was more like an ancient powerhouse who had experienced countless great battles.
Xiao Yi did not answer, merely tapping his right foot lightly on the ground.
Half-Saint power spread out from him as the center, forming a red Domain.
Within the Domain, space was completely confined, and the Third Heaven Venerable felt his Dou Qi circulation hindered, even breathing became difficult.
Immediately after, Xiao Yi's figure flickered, instantly appearing before the Third Heaven Venerable, forming a fist with his right hand, carrying a faint red halo, and smashing a punch towards the Third Heaven Venerable's chest.
This punch seemed ordinary, yet it contained exquisite control of power, precisely avoiding the Third Heaven Venerable's Dou Qi defense, landing accurately on his black robe.
The Third Heaven Venerable was struck hard, his body instantly flying backward, tearing through the Void Realm, and plummeting fiercely towards the ground below!
The ground instantly collapsed, completely burying the Third Heaven Venerable...
The Third Heaven Venerable, who had been arrogant and conceited just moments ago, was now motionless...
As for the other Heaven Venerables, seeing this scene, they were already too frightened to make any further moves...
Only at this moment did Xiao Xuan release Xiao Yi's consciousness...
Xiao Yi: "Ancestor..."
Xiao Xuan: "Don't worry... I only revealed Half-Saint cultivation, which won't alarm the Hun Tiandi..."
"Dealing with this group of scoundrels as I go can also hasten the rescue of Venerable Yao..."
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking.
Xiao Yi also turned his head to look at the remaining Heaven Venerables, and just as Xiao Yi was about to act again...
Instantly, an even more terrifying, more oppressive Qi surged from the Void Realm!
The next second, the already extremely eerie Human Hall was instantly enveloped and covered by black smoke!
"What a bunch of trash..."
"You can't even deal with a mere remnant of the Xiao Clan. I really don't know what use the Hall of Souls has for a bunch of trash like you!"
A scolding voice slowly came through the Void Realm.
Upon hearing this voice, the Heaven Venerables all knelt on one knee in unison: "Greetings, Grand Heavenly Lord!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi knew that the Human Hall's highest combat power, the Grand Heavenly Lord, had finally appeared... "Ancestor, this Grand Heavenly Lord is a Dou Sheng powerhouse; he might detect your presence..."
"We still have two Void Ancient Dragon Elders..."
Xiao Yi's words were cut off by Xiao Xuan, who said:
"Little Fellow..."
"Today's situation is probably far beyond your imagination..."
"The two Dragon Clan Elders probably won't be able to control the situation that's about to unfold..."
Xiao Yi was quite puzzled: "Why?"
"That Grand Heavenly Lord is only a One-Star Dou Sheng, while the two Elders, Zhu Ye, are Three-Star Dou Sheng Peak powerhouses!"
And Xiao Xuan's voice rang out again: "Because more than just the Grand Heavenly Lord is coming..."
As Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Yi looked up...
He saw that the Heaven Venerables, who were already very respectful, and even Gu You, who was fighting Zhu Li outside, all knelt on both knees with extreme deference, speaking in unison:
"Greetings, Hall Master!"
"Greetings, Vice Hall Master!"
