Chapter 23 Clan Marks
The battle between Xiao Xuan and his companion was of utmost importance, so their every move was being observed. Seeing Xiao Xuan leave first, the Xiao clan members naturally knew that their clan leader wasn't fleeing, but rather protecting the Xiao Realm. Having seen through Xiao Xuan's intentions, they too departed, leaving the Xiao Realm to fight elsewhere.
The Soul Clan members hadn't considered the impact on the Xiao Clan's Xiao Realm. Since this wasn't the Soul Clan's territory, and they wouldn't be living here anyway, they figured the destruction was acceptable. However, now that the Xiao Clan members were leaving one after another, they couldn't just stand by and watch, so they followed suit.
Soon, Xiao Xuan stopped in an open area hundreds of miles away from the Xiao Clan. He wasn't trying to escape this time; he simply didn't want to affect the Xiao Clan, so he naturally stopped after achieving his goal. Besides this, he had another purpose: to further amplify the impact of this matter, thereby notifying his friends and forces on good terms with the Xiao Clan to come to their aid.
Previously, everything within the Xiao Realm was in a closed state. Although members of the Soul Clan were able to enter, that was because there was a traitor within the Xiao Clan. However, as long as the Xiao Realm still exists, everything that happens within it will not be known to others, which is undoubtedly detrimental to the Xiao Clan.
Soon, the elders of the Xiao Clan and the Soul Clan arrived one after another. After seeing Xiao Xuan and his companion, they found a place nearby to continue their battle.
As time went on, the battle grew larger and the situation became increasingly intense. To date, nearly a hundred Battle Saints have participated in this war, and those below the Battle Saint level are countless.
The battle between Hun Tiandi and Xiao Xuan was the most intense: Hun Tiandi, as a veteran nine-star Dou Sheng, possessed unparalleled strength and could easily wield various Heaven-rank Dou Techniques; Xiao Xuan, as a half-Emperor, had three strange flames within his body, and even though he was still seriously injured, his power was not to be underestimated.
Within a hundred miles of their battleground, there was not a single person present! The two were fighting so fiercely that every move they made was aimed directly at vital points. The aftershocks of their battle destroyed all the mountains, rivers, and trees within a hundred miles, and even caused space to collapse. Anyone who stepped into that area would surely die instantly.
Besides these, there are countless battles of varying sizes. Hun Dao and Xiao Kong are one group, while Hun Shengtian and Xiao Yuelin are another. Although their strength is not as terrifying as that of Hun Tiandi and Xiao Kong, as high-level Dou Sheng, especially veteran high-level Dou Sheng, their foundations are extremely solid. They can destroy mountains with a mere gesture, and their power is far beyond what others can interfere with.
"Heavenly Fire Slash!" Xiao Xuan shouted, unleashing another high-level Heavenly Rank battle technique towards Soul Emperor. He was originally a fire attribute user and possessed three strange flames within his body. Now, when he unleashed a fire attribute battle technique, its power was even greater, faintly showing signs of surpassing high-level Heavenly Rank battle techniques!
Seeing this, the Soul Emperor dared not underestimate him in the slightest and also unleashed one of his most skilled fighting techniques—the high-level Heavenly Rank fighting technique, Myriad Souls Devouring Demons!
Boom! Boom! Boom! One after another, the fighting techniques collided, unleashing deafening sounds, and the entire sky was covered by mushroom clouds.
Time passed slowly, and the battle between Xiao Xuan and the other two remained undecided. At this moment, Xiao Xuan became somewhat impatient. He was already seriously injured, and only by ending this battle quickly could he ensure the safety of the Xiao clan. Otherwise, if the battle dragged on for several days and nights, his injuries would not be able to withstand it, and if they were to flare up, it could be fatal!
Moreover, he has already been affected!
Helpless, he resorted to his previous desperate fighting style, every move ruthless and every technique terrifyingly powerful, all in an effort to end the battle quickly. However, Soul Emperor also grew stronger with each battle, suffering some minor injuries along the way, but none fatal, nor enough to allow Xiao Xuan to end the fight quickly.
"Xiao Clan Mark, activate!" Xiao Xuan roared, and a "Xiao" character shining with seven-colored light appeared on his forehead. With the appearance of the "Xiao" character, his aura strengthened once again, and his strength increased once more.
"Soul Clan Mark, activate!" Seeing Xiao Xuan activate his clan mark, Soul Emperor knew that he was about to fight desperately. Not to be outdone, he roared, and a character shining with seven-colored light appeared on his forehead. However, this character was "Soul". His strength also increased.
The Soul Emperor's strength has now broken through to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!
These are the unique clan markings of the eight ancient clans. These markings are connected to the Dou Di bloodline within them, and can unleash terrifying power at crucial moments. The user can use them to defeat or kill their opponent, or at the very least, to escape. It can be said to be an extremely powerful technique.
Of course, such powerful methods are not without requirements. The most crucial requirement is the bloodline of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor). Without the bloodline of a Dou Di, there will naturally be no clan mark. Secondly, the clan mark is not innate but bestowed later. It is the most important part of the coming-of-age ceremony for each clan member. The elders comprehensively evaluate the bloodline of a Dou Di, including its rank, aptitude, strength, and so on, and finally bestow the clan mark upon them.
Therefore, if one's Dou Di bloodline is too low, they will not possess a clan mark. In addition, the grade of the Dou Di bloodline can also affect the power unleashed when the clan mark is activated.
There are four types of clan emblems: silver, gold, purple-gold, and seven-colored gold. Since clan emblems are related to the bloodline of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor), the higher the bloodline rank, the higher the level of the clan emblem, and the greater the power gained after using it. Previously, both Soul Emperor and Xiao Xuan used seven-colored gold clan emblems!
Nothing is perfect, and clan markings are no exception.
Their primary function is to unleash one's full power, but this is only for a limited time and cannot be used permanently.
After this period, the user will experience a period of weakness, and if not used properly, it can pose a fatal threat.
Hearing the sound coming from afar, the Soul Clan elders exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "Clan markings, open!"
Various clan markings appeared on their foreheads, some golden, some purple-gold, and only Soul Dao, an eight-star Dou Sheng, possessed the seven-colored golden one.
Upon unleashing their clan runes, the Soul Clan elders experienced a surge in strength.
Knowing that the effects of the runes were time-limited, they immediately attacked their enemies without hesitation.
