Xu Xingchen frowned, searching around for Xu Xiwang's whereabouts.

"Hehe, looking for me?"

Suddenly, a soft laugh echoed from the void. Then, Xu Xiwang stepped out from the other side, a mocking smile on his lips, and slowly walked towards Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen's heart sank slightly. Xu Xiwang's strength had completely exceeded his expectations. He had thought that with the power of the Emperor's Vein, he would be able to defeat his opponent, but in fact, it was far from that. In the brief exchange just now, although Xu Xiwang was at a disadvantage, he did not suffer too much damage.

What shocked him even more was that during the battle just now, he couldn't detect any fluctuations in Xu Xiwang's elemental power at all.

In other words, he was completely unaware of Xu Xiwang's power.

"What a strange fellow. Could it be that he cultivates a special technique? Or does he possess some powerful treasure that conceals his elemental fluctuations?"

Xu Xingchen's mind raced.

"Hmph, so what if you have some tricks up your sleeve? I'll still crush you!"

Xu Xingchen snorted coldly, his aura rising steadily, and he threw a punch at Xu Xiwang.

His fist radiated brilliant light, like a rising sun descending with boundless power.

Xu Xiwang remained expressionless, brandished the stone tablet, and slammed it down hard.

"Bang!"

This powerful impact triggered another terrifying shockwave that swept in all directions, completely destroying the surrounding houses and sending rocks flying into the air—a horrifying sight.

"Haha, the stars are destroyed!"

Xu Xingchen laughed loudly, and with a flick of his wrist, the spear left his hand and instantly transformed into an angry dragon, roaring as it charged forward with a magnificent and domineering aura.

Xu Xingchen took a step forward, stretched out his right arm, grabbed the end of the spear, and pulled hard.

With this pull, a violent force spread along the spear, eventually converging on Xu Xingchen's arm, turning his entire arm silver, as if plated with molten iron.

"Starry Sky Battle Body, Explode!"

Xu Xingchen roared, and a dazzling halo emerged from his body. His muscles bulged and bulged, and every inch of his flesh seemed to contain boundless power.

"Bang bang bang..."

At this moment, Xu Xingchen's aura surged several times over. He took a step forward, like a tiger or leopard running, his aura violent. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Xu Xiwang and threw a heavy punch, the fist imprint carrying the power of thunder.

"Bang!"

Xu Xiwang hastily met the attack, their fists clashing. Xu Xiwang screamed in pain and flew backward, crashing to the ground.

His right arm was twisted and deformed, the bones were broken inch by inch, and his whole face became ferocious.

Xu Xingchen leaped up, his spear darting out like a venomous snake, aiming a cunning thrust at Xu Xiwang.

"ah!!!"

Xu Xingchen roared like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, wielding his spear wildly, tearing grooves into the ground.

His power grew increasingly terrifying, causing the entire space to tremble violently as if it were about to collapse.

Xu Xingchen had completely gone mad at this point!

"The Ming Emperor's Annihilation Technique!"

With a single sweep of the spear, countless symbols appeared on its surface, and then these symbols suddenly burst forth with a dazzling divine light.

In an instant, Xu Xingchen seemed to transform into an unparalleled killing god, wielding a long spear and sweeping across the eight wastelands.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The ground exploded, and rubble flew everywhere. The symbols somehow formed a series of images.

It was the blurry silhouette of a young boy. When the boy threw a punch, it was as if the heavens and earth collapsed, the sun and moon lost their light, and nothing could stop it.

Those images disappeared, but a strange power enveloped Xu Xingchen's body. He seemed to hear an ancient and desolate cry, as if countless wronged souls were shouting.

For a moment, Xu Xingchen felt as if he were in a dark and hellish place, filled with a thick, chilling aura.

Xu Xingchen's consciousness became blurred, and he couldn't even see the enemy's shadow clearly. All he saw was a sky full of gun beams sweeping down.

"Hiss! How can this kid summon hellish phenomena! No! There's something strange about that stone tablet in his hand!"

The ancient being stared at the stone tablet in Xu Xiwang's hand, its pupils suddenly contracted, and its soul trembled, almost dissipating!

"Old man, don't look at things randomly. It's been a long time since we sealed it away. Be careful not to look at it and turn yourself to ashes."

Liu Qingyan glanced at him and said indifferently, then a strange green light flashed in her eyes, and a sacred flame burned deep in her pupils.

As the flames burned ever brighter, ripples spread outwards, and the ancient, ethereal soul trembled violently.

"Do you know the origin of this strange stone tablet?" the ancient being couldn't help but ask.

"you guess."

Liu Qingyan said casually, "Anyway, it's not your treasure, so why do you care what it is?"

Upon hearing this, the ancient being's face twitched a few times. He felt like a million curses were running through his mind. This little girl was really infuriating.

I am, after all, the ancestor of the Xu family!

They have absolutely no respect for the elderly or care for the young!

The ancient being's beard trembled, but he dared not say anything and could only stare blankly.

He knew very well that if he angered this girl, he would probably die a terrible death. After all, he was a soul, and the moment of great calamity and opportunity had not yet arrived, so he could not rashly emerge into the world.

Moreover, this girl is incredibly powerful. They don't know the extent of her strength and don't care about seniority at all. If they anger her, they will probably be the ones who suffer.

"That bitch!"

The ancient being cursed inwardly, yet felt utterly helpless.

"This stone tablet is indeed strange. It is stained with endless evil energy, as if countless wronged souls are wailing. Yet, the vast and pure aura is as if it were born from the essence of heaven and earth. Just one glance made me feel confused, as if I had seen another world."

The ancient being murmured with its mouth closed, but suddenly, it trembled violently, its face filled with disbelief: "Forbidden!"

"Old man, what are you muttering about?"

Liu Qingyan frowned slightly, clearly showing some disgust.

"Ahem, I believe your son is perfectly capable of being the leader of the younger generation of my Xu family. However, the stone tablet in his hand is too strange; it must be an evil object! Keeping it in his hands will surely corrupt his mind and cause a backlash. My compassionate heart cannot bear to see my Xu family's descendants suffer misfortune. Here's what we'll do: you hand over that stone tablet to me to seal, and I will definitely suppress this evil thing and save your son from disaster!"
