Chapter 1547: Eternal Tomb

Xiaohui's face finally lit up with a smile after Xu Yang explained his perfect plan to lure the enemy. Xiaohui himself was highly impressed by Xu Yang's flawless strategy.

"No wonder they all say your combat intelligence, Master, is your most formidable weapon, far more intimidating than your cultivation," Xiaohui remarked. "I doubt anyone but you could come up with such a plan."

Xu Yang chuckled softly and shook his head. "On the primary continent, in the era where I grew up hundreds of thousands of years ago, almost all cultivators at my level, who were no weaker than me, possessed combat experience as rich as mine. That was truly an age of blooming talents, where countless prodigies emerged.

My current goal is to restore the primary continent to its former prosperous and flourishing civilized era, to guide it back to its rightful path of development, rather than remaining fragmented into numerous independent civilizations as it is now.

This fragmentation is extremely detrimental to the primary continent's overall development, as it indefinitely diminishes its cohesion and collective strength. Should an external civilization ever invade, the continent's resistance would be weakened to an unimaginable extent.

However, I hope that day never comes. Or, more precisely, I hope to achieve this goal with my own abilities before any unexpected external civilization arrives."

Hearing Xu Yang's aspirations, Xiaohui secretly resolved to help his master achieve this goal, doing everything within his power.

Of course, these were future considerations. His immediate priority was to execute the nearly perfect combat plan Xu Yang had just outlined.

As expected, after breaking free from the Void Battlefield, Xiaohui began to continuously manifest phantom clones, one after another, actively launching attacks toward Chief Elder Xuanyuan.

While the attacks from these phantoms were far less potent than those from Xiaohui's true form and inflicted no substantial harm on Chief Elder Xuanyuan, however, like annoying flies, these relentless, seemingly meaningless attacks quickly disrupted Chief Elder Xuanyuan's composure, making him increasingly agitated.

"You truly are as irritating as a gnat!"

Xu Yang, who had been observing the entire time, was secretly delighted by this sight. He knew, based on his understanding of Chief Elder Xuanyuan's character, that the elder would soon become the bait on the hook.

"It seems I must make you understand the true disparity in power between us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Elder Xuanyuan immediately launched a thunderous counterattack. This time, as two new dragon heads on the golden foil in his hand ignited, an unprecedented, terrifying pressure instantly erupted.

Xiaohui no longer dared to dart about recklessly. He immediately ordered Jiu'er and Xiaoxiang, who were behind him, to retreat a thousand meters.

"If my judgment is correct," Xiaohui instructed, "Elder Xuanyuan is about to unleash a powerful sealing technique. It will be a truly terrifying situation, so you two must be prepared. If I am truly confined, do not, under any circumstances, come to my rescue. Trust that I can break free from any passive situation."

Upon hearing Xiaohui's instructions, Jiu'er and Xiaoxiang immediately nodded in agreement. Simultaneously, Xiaohui began to intentionally, or seemingly unintentionally, expose weaknesses in his movements. Chief Elder Xuanyuan didn't give it much thought, simply assuming that this inexperienced feline lacked sufficient combat experience and that he had successfully identified a flaw.

"Hehehe, excellent. You ignorant little creature, you're about to face the most pivotal moment of your life. Watch carefully; I want you to forever remember how I am about to suppress you."

Suddenly, an endless, dense green aura erupted from Chief Elder Xuanyuan's body. As this green light rapidly spread, countless colossal green vines inexplicably materialized from behind the terrifying glow.

Each of these vines was several meters thick, forming a massive, sky-obscuring enclosure. Thousands of gigantic vines rapidly multiplied and surged toward Xiaohui's true form. Soon, Xiaohui was completely engulfed within an impenetrable encirclement of these endless vines.

"Do you truly believe these thick vines can restrict my movements? How utterly ridiculous," Xiaohui taunted.

Xiaohui continued to follow Xu Yang's instructions, slowly luring Chief Elder Xuanyuan deeper into the trap. He pretended to try increasing his movement speed, and after seemingly hitting an obstacle several times, he adopted a panicked expression.

"Damn it, these vines actually possess such terrifying sealing capabilities!"

"Hahahaha!" Chief Elder Xuanyuan finally erupted in unrestrained laughter. "Well? Do you realize your predicament now? Do you still dare to act so brazenly in front of me? Unfortunately, this is only the beginning. I'm going to transform this place into your eternal tomb."

After this declaration, countless earth-attribute energies rapidly proliferated around the periphery of the vines. Soon, all gaps within the endless mass of vines were sealed by gigantic stones, condensed from the earth element.

Massive stone blocks and debris formed a space with no blind spots, tightly encasing Xiaohui in unending darkness. The true tomb had just begun to take shape.

Xiaohui immediately sensed something was amiss and began frantically pounding, repeatedly shattering the interlocking earth-attribute forces. However, new earth elemental seals quickly regenerated.

To ensure this purgatory could not be breached, Chief Elder of the Misty Rain Group, who had been prepared, suddenly jabbed his finger towards his glabella, causing an endless, dense life force to emanate.

These lights, in the form of halos, repeatedly coiled around the massive vines and the tomb formed by earth-attribute energy. With its seemingly endless life essence, it enveloped the enormous tomb as its outermost layer.

"Hahahaha," Chief Elder Xuanyuan roared triumphantly. "With your life aura providing an unending supply of support as an enclosure, this massive tomb can no longer connect with any external elements or energies. That damned cat is utterly trapped inside, forever unable to break free.

Of course, this 'forever' is merely a prelude to his imminent death. I will now use my most powerful offensive methods to bombard this tomb, scorching that damned cat into ashes and nothingness!"

Chief Elder Xuanyuan seemed to have finally found his rhythm for asserting his dominance at this point, once again adopting the imperious posture of a superior being.

Then, he finally ignited two more dragon heads. In an instant, an incomparably furious lightning-attribute aura manifested, accompanied by an ever-growing conflagration around them.
