Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Like a Star and Like a Black Hole!
All the powers provided to Lucas through the chat group were merely means to an end, and Lucas's abilities were basically obtained through plundering. Although the powers of Ten Tails, magic energy, and spells had been mastered by Lucas, they were not truly one with him.
The power of the Battle Through the Heavens world was different. After refining it, it could become a part of the body, with basically no possibility of separation. Of course, there were exceptions for equipment-like items such as Different Flames.
[CHAT GROUP]
Xiao Xuan: This means that after the Group Leader comes to my world, not only will he not be able to help me, but he'll take away the hope of our Xiao clan's revival?
Lucas: Why are you so narrow-minded? Even if your Xiao clan would produce a Son of Destiny, it would be hundreds of thousands of years later. After I come to this world, your Xiao clan will have a Dou Di much sooner.
Xiao Xuan was stunned, then smiled and said, "There are two sources of Origin Qi in the Ancient Emperor's cave, and the Group Leader only needs one."
Lucas shook his head and said, "You're wrong! When all the Origin Qi in this world is refined, new Origin Qi will appear. If Ancient Emperor Tuo She hadn't kept the last Origin Qi, there would have been two more Dou Di powerhouses in this world, and more Dou Di powerhouses would appear in the future."
Xiao Xuan asked, stunned, "Why is this? The Origin Qi will be replenished when it's used up?"
Lucas laughed, "What did you expect? Don't forget, the Battle Through the Heavens world is just a subordinate world to the Great Thousand World plane."
Xiao Xuan suddenly said, "So it is! Origin Qi is indeed a precious thing in our world, but it may not be uncommon in the Great Thousand World plane. When this resource is used up, it will be replenished by the Great Thousand World plane, right?"
Lucas nodded and said, "That's it! Now, let's find your clan first, and confirm the current time by the way. If it's not long after the Xiao clan's destruction, we can take the opportunity to eliminate The Hun Clan."
Xiao Xuan smiled and nodded, "Good idea!"
The Time Stone appeared in Lucas's hand, and powerful temporal energy quickly condensed in front of him, helping him examine the past and calculate the time since the demise of the Xiao clan.
After a while, Lucas said slowly, "It has been a hundred years since the demise of the Xiao clan. At the end of that conflict, people from other imperial clans appeared. The other imperial clans, led by the Gu Clan, prevented The Hun Clan's slaughter and allowed the remnants of the Xiao clan to take the Ancient Emperor Tuo She Jade fragment away."
Xiao Xuan said, stunned, "The Xiao family still has the Ancient Emperor Tuo She Jade?"
Lucas chuckled, "This is probably the reason why the Xiao clan could survive! No, it should be said that this is how the Xiao family continues to exist."
Xiao Xuan said thoughtfully, "Other imperial clans didn't want the Xiao clan's Ancient Emperor Tuo She Jade to be taken by The Hun Clan, nor did they want to fight again for that jade fragment. Under these circumstances, it gave the Xiao family a chance to survive."
With Xiao Xuan's help, Lucas quickly found the current location of the Xiao family. At the same time, they saw an imposing middle-aged man walking on Xiao family territory without anyone noticing him. The power of space surged around him, making him imperceptible to those who passed by.
"Gu Yuan?"
Xiao Xuan said in surprise, "Why is he here?"
Lucas smiled and said, "It seems that he still cares about your Xiao clan, coming to check on the Xiao clan's situation privately. He didn't steal the Ancient Emperor Tuo She Jade—his character is not bad."
Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "He has always been that kind of person, and his character is indeed not bad."
Lucas sneered, "His character is good, but unfortunately he's not an effective patriarch. As the top powerhouse on the mainland, he has a serious lack of authority in the Gu Clan, allowing the elders and clan members to act as they please."
[CHAT GROUP]
Senju Hashirama: What's going on? What you're describing sounds a little familiar to me.
Uchiha Madara: Isn't it familiar? You were exactly the same. Even with the power to suppress everything, if you're too kind, others won't respect you.
Lucas: Compared to Hun Tiandi's status in The Hun Clan, Gu Yuan's power in the Gu Clan is really not that great. All affairs are controlled by the elders.
Xiao Xuan: If this is the case, then all major imperial clans are basically the same. The patriarch is only the strongest of the family, and the family is not his alone. The elders' restriction on the patriarch's power is also an important reason for the long-term existence of the family.
Lucas: How troublesome! If I were him, I would immediately send the clansmen and elders who were scheming and politicking to clean the toilets, so they could recognize their position.
Xiao Xuan: ...
Lucas: Aren't you going to meet him? I've hidden my aura, so he can't detect us. Only if you approach him directly can he find you.
Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "No need! What we're going to do next may not be beneficial for the Gu Clan. We don't need his help or the Gu Clan's, do we?"
Lucas smiled and said, "That's true! It's only been a hundred years since the battle between the Xiao Clan and Hun Clan, and the wounds suffered by The Hun Clan haven't fully healed yet! You blew yourself up before you died, which seriously injured Hun Tiandi."
Xiao Xuan said, "Not only that! The second powerhouse of The Hun Clan, Hun Mie Sheng, was also injured by Gu Yuan, and The Hun Clan has no powerful fighters ready to act now. Group Leader, shall we strike now? I know the location of The Hun Clan."
Lucas laughed, "I also know the location of The Hun Clan. Let's go!"
Space warped as Lucas brought Xiao Xuan to the exclusive territory of The Hun Clan. The six Infinity Stones glowed on Lucas's hands, directly imprisoning and sealing the space of The Hun Clan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the seal was complete, Lucas noticed that someone had begun trying to break it from within. But Lucas wasn't concerned—could his seal be broken so easily?
This seal contained not only the power of the Infinity Stones but also the power of the Phoenix and energy from the Dark Dimension. Although these three powers were greatly reduced after leaving the Marvel world, they still retained immense energy.
However, even with Lucas's enhancement, after they exhausted their stored energy, they suppressed the entire space to such an extent that even a powerhouse like Xiao Xuan couldn't break through.
More decisively...
Lucas's body disappeared instantly and reappeared after a while. Lucas, who had gone back to the Marvel world to replenish his divine energy, sealed The Hun Clan's space a second time. After returning to the Marvel world once more to replenish his energy, he brought Xiao Xuan into the sealed space.
Within The Hun Clan's territory, their powerhouses stood in the air, attacking the seal surrounding their space, but they were unable to shake it at all. They could only try to find a way to notify more clan members.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Someone dares to seal the space of our Hun Clan? Are they seeking death?"
"When we break this seal, we'll make them regret being born!"
"Xiao Xuan?"
Just as the powerhouses of The Hun Clan were cursing whoever had imposed the seal, Lucas appeared with Xiao Xuan, startling them all.
All The Hun Clan members who had participated in the war against the Xiao clan felt they were hallucinating when they saw Xiao Xuan. Wasn't this terrifying opponent already dead?
"The foot soldiers are yours to deal with, and Hun Tiandi and Hun Mie Sheng will be mine!"
Lucas instructed Xiao Xuan to handle these ordinary Hun Clan member while he went after their leaders.
"No problem!"
A bright smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's face as the aura of a Peak Dou Sheng surged out from him, causing The Hun Clan powerhouses in front of him to fall one after another from the sky.
Although he was now only an undead, because of the chat group system, Xiao Xuan retained 100% of his strength. Even if Hun Tiandi hadn't fully recovered, Xiao Xuan was confident he could kill him.
As for The Hun Clan powerhouses in front of him who were many realms below his own level, they might have stood a chance against Xiao Xuan if they had formed a grand formation. But as a disorganized mob, no matter how many came at him, they would die.
With a wave of his hand, the energy between heaven and earth surged forth. Spatial power condensed into a huge palm that slammed down firmly, grabbing and crushing groups of Hun Clan masters with each strike.
Meanwhile:
Lucas blocked the path of a black-clothed man, looking at him with interest, and said, "Nihility Devouring Flame? There are indeed some interesting life forms in the shape of Different Flames."
[CHAT GROUP]
Holy Keisha: What's with this guy? I can't understand his life form. He feels like a star with intelligence and a black hole with intelligence.
Lucas: Just as the Pirate world has Devil Fruits, the Battle Through the Heavens world also has its own products of natural law—Heavenly Flames, magical fires that contain various rules of heaven and earth.
Whitebeard: You said he was a creature in the form of a Heavenly Flame, which means he's like a Devil Fruit that gained sentience?
Lucas: That's right! This world is very magical. Things with powerful energy often develop intelligence and change shape, such as medicinal pills and Heavenly Flames. However, this isn't unique to the Battle Through the Heavens world. Isn't that also the case with the Tailed Beasts in the Ninja world?
Uchiha Madara: The intelligence of the Tailed Beasts was bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths with Yang Release. This kind of thing developing intelligence by itself? If I had to compare, Mjölnir in the Marvel world would be similar.
Howard Stark: The intelligence of Mjölnir was given by the Group Leader, right? He also used the Yang Release from the Ninja world.
Senju Hashirama: I remember that Mjölnir had some level of intelligence before it was fully awakened by the Group Leader. How else could it choose Thor?
