Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

(Is this Senior Xiao Chen’s soul?)

Xiao Yan stared closely at Xiao Chen, who was standing in front of him holding a blood-red giant axe. He looked at his lifeless eyes and frowned slightly.

Something doesn't feel right.

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking, Xiao Chen came towards him with a blood-red giant axe. Xiao Yan dodged but had no intention of fighting back. He immediately stood on tiptoe to distance himself from Xiao Chen and observed him carefully.

It was understandable that Xiao Chen outside had such a lifeless look because his soul had been tampered with, but it was abnormal that even the soul itself was like this.

No matter what Xiao Chen is like in the outside world, Xiao Chen in the soul space should be sober.

If Xiao Chen's soul is in such a state of unconsciousness, there is probably only one possibility.

Xiao Yan's expression turned slightly ugly.

That is Xiao Chen's consciousness, which had disappeared long ago, just like what happened to Feng Li and Ling Jingyan.

But Feng Li and Ling Jingyan were still able to find the corresponding soul fragments to awaken consciousness at that time. Xiao Chen had been imprisoned here for thousands of years, and the Xiao clan had long been destroyed. No one knew where to find the soul fragments. Even if they still existed, Xiao Yan didn't know where to find them now, and he didn't have time to look for them.

But it's still outrageous.

Facing the attacking Xiao Chen, Xiao Yan raised his hand and slammed the side of the giant axe to push it away, then kicked Xiao Chen away with a frown.

If Xiao Chen's soul consciousness has disappeared, then the Xiao Chen outside should have been completely refined by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and become the same as the other fire slaves. But now Xiao Chen's body still exists, which proves that he has not been refined by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

But the soul in front of me is indeed unconscious. Huh?
Xiao Yan's pupils froze, and his eyes revealed astonishment.

The soul in front of you?

Xiao Yan suddenly reacted.

Has anyone ever stipulated that a soul that looks like Xiao Chen is Xiao Chen's true soul?

Xiao Yan dodged Xiao Chen's axe attack by leaning sideways again, then clenched his fist and smashed it hard on his chest, staring at Xiao Chen who was knocked away, his mind constantly turning and churning.

If the soul in front of him is not Senior Xiao Chen's, then where is his soul?
Xiao Yan glanced at this soul space. There was nothing above and around him. Xiao Yan did not sense anything when he let go of his senses.

In that case, there is only the following left.

Xiao Yan turned his gaze towards the boundless magma at the bottom. While dodging the attacks of the man he suspected to be the fake Xiao Chen, he released his senses to search continuously in the depths of the magma.

About half a minute later, Xiao Yan's eyes showed joy.

Because he felt that there was indeed a soul deep in the magma, although it was weak, it was extremely tenacious!

"I see. So you are the backup plan set up by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire?"

Xiao Yan glanced sideways at the fake Xiao Chen. It was probably because the Pure Lotus Demon Fire found that Xiao Chen's soul was difficult to refine. In order to prevent others from breaking into Xiao Chen's soul and awakening him, it specially condensed a fake Xiao Chen's soul and placed it here, so that anyone who came in would think that Xiao Chen was hopeless.

As for the magma below, it was created only to hide the place where Xiao Chen was imprisoned.

"Since we have found it, please stay here for now."

Xiao Yan raised his hand, and the Black Prison Dark Soul Lock condensed from his soul jumped out from the void, tightly binding the fake Xiao Chen who rushed up to him. He then came to the top of the magma, condensed his fighting spirit in both hands and stretched them downwards, violently pulling the air to both sides. The boundless magma was directly pushed to both sides by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan immediately saw a figure tied to a stone pillar with chains deep underground. It was Xiao Chen!

Xiao Yan's expression lit up with joy, he jumped down and came in front of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen seemed to have protected most of his consciousness in order to conserve his strength, causing his soul to fall into a deep sleep. Although this was an act of delaying death, it was also because of this that the Pure Lotus Demon Fire had not been able to refine him until now, and had to wait for Xiao Yan and the others to arrive.

Click!

Xiao Yan swung his palm blade violently to cut the chains that bound Xiao Chen's soul, led the soul into the depths of him, and shouted into the sleeping Xiao Chen's heart.

[Senior Xiao Chen! Wake up! ]

Xiao Yan called out to Xiao Chen in his heart, but received no response, and his heart suddenly reacted.

Xiao Chen didn't even know who he was, so he would definitely not respond casually, otherwise he would have been bewitched by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

After understanding this, Xiao Yan released the Xiao clan emblem that was engraved deep in his soul, trying to penetrate as deep into Xiao Chen's heart as possible.

Sure enough, this time, without waiting for Xiao Yan to call, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the separated magma in front of him in a trance, then looked at Xiao Yan, frowned tightly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Are you a descendant of the Xiao clan?"

“Yes, my name is Xiao Yan.” Xiao Yan nodded and said in a deep voice: “The ancestors are still spending their energy outside to restrain you. Please take control of your soul space as soon as possible and take back the initiative of your body.”

"Ancestor? Who is it?"

When Xiao Chen asked back this, Xiao Yan was stunned.

By the way, Xiao Chen is from the same era as Xiao Xuan. The ancestor he thinks of as his ancestor is not the same person at all, so he spoke again.

"It's Xiao Xuan."

"Sister?!"

Xiao Chen's expression instantly cleared up, and his voice became very high-pitched, Xiao Yan continued.

"Anyway, the current situation is a bit complicated. You should quickly take control of your soul space."

Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Yan, then nodded heavily.

"it is good."

Although he didn't know Xiao Yan, he was undoubtedly a descendant of the Xiao clan. Just for this reason, it was worth it for Xiao Chen to trust him once.

Then Xiao Yan stepped back, Xiao Chen swung his arms, and looked at the fake Xiao Chen who was bound by Xiao Yan with the Black Prison Dark Soul Lock. He frowned slightly, pointed at him and asked Xiao Yan.

"what is that?"

"It seems that the Pure Lotus Demon Fire created this cover to conceal your existence, for fear that others would break in and wake you up."

"Is that so?" Xiao Chen nodded in understanding, and then his eyes revealed resentment, "This guy is really a thief with a heart of his own!"

Xiao Chen did not doubt Xiao Yan's words at all. Over the past thousand years, Xiao Chen had been bewitched by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire more than once, so he naturally believed that the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

"Humph! Now that I'm awake, it's time for you to leave!"

Xiao Chen slowly raised his hand towards the fake Xiao Chen who was about to break free from the chains, and then he clenched his hand suddenly, and the fake Xiao Chen was crushed into pieces by Xiao Chen.

At the same time as the fake Xiao Chen disappeared, this soul space also began to become turbulent. The magma below gradually disappeared and immediately returned to its original appearance. Xiao Yan also bowed to Xiao Chen.

"Senior Xiao Chen, I'll be waiting for you outside."

After saying this, Xiao Yan left Xiao Chen's soul space without waiting for Xiao Chen's response. The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Xiao Chen, who was bound by Xiao Xuan, appeared again.

When Xiao Yan felt Xiao Xuan's strength, his expression suddenly tensed.

He had tried to shorten the time as much as possible, but he did not expect that it still took too long. Xiao Xuan's strength at this time had dropped to the early stage of the eight-star Douluo.

Xiao Xuan noticed that Xiao Yan's soul had returned and asked hurriedly, "Is it resolved?!"

Without waiting for Xiao Yan's response, Xiao Chen, who was originally roaring and struggling, suddenly calmed down, and then his eyes kept blinking. His lifeless eyes gradually recovered, and his blurred vision gradually became clear, and what he saw was Xiao Xuan's worried eyes.

As if he had not been able to control his body for a long time, Xiao Chen's speech ability was a little rusty, and he murmured in a low voice with some difficulty.

"Sister."

"Xiao Chen!" Xiao Xuan was delighted when he heard this familiar name. He immediately untied the restraints and hurried forward to support Xiao Chen's body. His eyes were full of worry. "How is it? Are you okay?"

"good."

Xiao Chen responded again, gradually adapting his body, slowly standing up with the help of Xiao Xuan's shoulders, and then he was stunned and looked at Xiao Xuan in astonishment.

"Sister, what's your body like?"

Xiao Chen immediately noticed Xiao Xuan's abnormal body at this time, and panic was revealed in his eyes, but Xiao Xuan shrugged indifferently.

"It's okay~ I should have died a long time ago. I'm lucky to still be able to run around in this body."

"Someone who should have died long ago? What does that mean?"

Xiao Chen's expression turned cold and he asked again. At this time, Xiao Yan behind him suddenly spoke.

"Senior Xiao Chen, I know you have a lot of doubts, but now is not the time to reminisce."

"Are you the guy who was in my soul space just now?"

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned when he saw Xiao Yan's face. At this time, Xiao Xuan also nodded and said.

"Yes, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Let's deal with that guy first and then talk slowly."

Xiao Xuan looked into the distance, and Xiao Chen followed his gaze and saw the Pure Lotus Demon Fire fighting with the Danta Patriarch. His expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Pure Lotus Demon Fire." Xiao Chen shook his wrist, and stood up straight. He looked at Xiao Xuan with a sidelong glance, "Sister, what should we do? I will follow your instructions."

"Oh~ This sentence really makes me miss it."

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but smile. This was the sentence he heard most often when Xiao Chen had been fighting beside him a thousand years ago.

Xiao Chen always carries out his orders absolutely and is the person Xiao Xuan trusts the most.

The difference, however, is that there are not so many complicated commands this time.

Xiao Xuan slowly raised his hand and pointed at the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in the distance, his voice extremely sharp.

"beat him!"

"Yes!"

Bang!
Patriarch Danta was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by a palm from the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. His petite body was directly blown away. He covered his chest with his hands and stared at the smug Pure Lotus Demon Fire with a serious expression.

Although both are in the early stage of the Eight-Star Douluo, the strength of this Pure Lotus Demon Fire is obviously more than that. Thanks to the characteristics of the strange fire and the home advantage of this Demon Fire space, I am afraid that even the middle stage of the Eight-Star Douluo would not dare to say that he can definitely defeat him.

“Just now you were talking big there. I thought your strength was as good as your words, but it’s just so-so.” The face of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was full of arrogance, and it looked down on the old ancestor of Danta. “If this is all you have, then you’d better become my nourishment!”

The words of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire made the expression of the Danta Patriarch look a little ugly, but he was surprised for only a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That's not certain."

Before the Pure Lotus Demon Fire could react to what Patriarch Danta meant, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind him.

"Dragon Slaying Axe!!!"

boom!
The blood axe mixed with Xiao Chen's fighting spirit slammed into the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire also raised its defense at the last moment and barely withstood Xiao Chen's sudden attack, staring at Xiao Chen's angry face in astonishment.

"Are you awake?"

"Of course, after all," Xiao Xuan took advantage of the moment when the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was stunned and appeared on the other side of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. His eyes suddenly turned cold, "I have a very outstanding descendant!"

Xiao Xuan's fist was covered with vast fighting spirit, and he smashed it hard at the open space of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, forcing the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to take the punch without any time to defend itself. The powerful attack shocked the Pure Lotus Demon Fire's soul for an instant, and then his face was filled with anger.

"Damn you"

"Pure Lotus Demon Fire, please don't forget me."

Before the Pure Lotus Demon Fire could open its mouth to curse, Patriarch Danta appeared on the other side of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. He pinched a spell in his hand, and a strong blue light emanated from his palm, which he gently pushed towards the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

"Return to one palm."

hum! ! !
The Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which had not yet recovered from Xiao Xuan's attack, took the attack from the Danta Patriarch without raising any defense, causing the Pure Lotus Demon Fire's soul to almost collapse, and it almost couldn't maintain its condensed form.

Facing an opponent of the same level, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire could still gain the upper hand, but when three people who could threaten him surrounded him at the same time, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was simply overwhelmed.

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire gritted its teeth and dragged itself out of the encirclement of three people, but Xiao Xuan and the other two held on tightly and surrounded him again.

We finally forced this guy into a desperate situation, how could we give him a chance to breathe?
"You guys, damn it." Pure Lotus Demon Fire gritted his teeth, stared at Xiao Xuan and the other two who surrounded him, and roared angrily, "I just want to seek freedom! Why you! You keep trying to stop me again and again?!"

"You are all a bunch of hypocritical beasts!!!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire let out such a roar, and the roar was filled with deep resentment and anger, as well as endless grievances. It did not make people feel frightened or terrifying when listening to it, but instead made people feel pity.

It's like a little child, trying his best to shout at adults, shouting to prove that he is not wrong.

Patriarch Danta narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of pity.

As the only person present who knew the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, perhaps he was the only one who understood why the Pure Lotus Demon Fire felt so aggrieved.

To put it bluntly, this Pure Lotus Demon Fire is a child, a pure and flawless child, a child who has been locked in a cage since he became conscious.

In his cognition, there is no such thing as good and evil. No matter whether it is stabbing the Pure Lotus Demon Saint in the back or appearing in Zhongzhou again and again to recruit fire slaves, everything that the Pure Lotus Demon Fire has done so far is only for one purpose.

That is, to regain freedom.

However, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire never realized how great a disaster his innate power could cause, and how many people would covet it.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint sealed him in the Demon Fire Space not only to prevent the Pure Lotus Demon Fire from wreaking havoc on the continent, but also to protect him.

Unfortunately, until now, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire has completely failed to understand the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's painstaking efforts.

And just as Patriarch Danta was lost in thought, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire roared towards the sky.

"Since you insist on forcing me into a desperate situation, I will never let you off easily!"

The roar of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire brought Patriarch Danta back to his senses immediately. Feeling the wildly growing energy in the Pure Lotus Demon Fire's body, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
