Chapter 232: The Four Ancestral Symbols Appear

As soon as the spatial vortex formed, an indescribable ancient and vast aura emanated from it. Upon sensing this aura, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Space Ancestral Symbol within Xiao Tian's Niwan Palace began to tremble. At this moment, the three silver towers had fused into a peculiar silver symbol, covered in thunder patterns, with arcs of lightning dancing across it. Xiao Tian reached out towards the symbol, knowing it was the key to controlling the Thunder Realm.

"Swish!" Suddenly, the void twisted, and a figure shrouded in a red robe appeared, reaching for the key. "You court death!" Xiao Tian swung the Thunder Emperor's scepter, unleashing ten thousand thunderbolts, making him appear like an emperor wielding the power of lightning.

"Zzzap!" A fiercely violent lightning bolt shot from the Thunder Emperor's scepter, tearing through space and striking the mysterious figure at an astonishing speed. Feeling the terrifying attack, the red-robed figure pushed his hands forward, conjuring a surge of overwhelming flames. The intense heat warped the surrounding space.

"Boom!" The red-robed figure endured Xiao Tian's attack, his body stepping back several dozen steps in the air before stabilizing. Xiao Tian noticed an ancient fire symbol within the flames surrounding the figure's hands.

"The Fire Ancestral Symbol!" Xiao Tian's eyes flashed, realizing why the figure could withstand his attack—it was because he possessed the Fire Ancestral Symbol!

"You must be Xiao Tian," the red-robed figure remarked, his voice filled with a sense of appreciation. "I never expected someone as powerful as you to emerge among the younger generation."

"And you must be Moluo, the master of the Flame God Hall," Xiao Tian responded.

"Indeed, I am Moluo," the red-robed man said, removing his red hood to reveal a rugged face with a dominating aura capable of incinerating the heavens and earth. A fire symbol flickered with a strange light on his forehead.

"The Thunder Ancestral Symbol within the Thunder Realm belongs to me. You should leave now," Xiao Tian declared.

After a moment of silence, Moluo said, "I don't need the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, but I do need a source of its power."

"Why?" Xiao Tian asked.

Moluo explained, "I need it to lure out the demon. Qingzhi is also involved in this matter."

Having realized he wasn't a match for Xiao Tian from their earlier exchange, Moluo chose to give up the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.

"Alright, I'll give it to you," Xiao Tian agreed, respecting Qingzhi's involvement.

Hearing this, Moluo added, "There's a demon king sealed within this Thunder Realm. I can help you eliminate it."

"Alright," Xiao Tian replied, his figure flashing as he headed towards the spatial vortex, with Moluo and Mu Lingshan following closely behind. After they entered, a silver light enveloped the vortex, sealing it off and preventing anyone else from entering.

On the other side of the vortex was an endless expanse of space filled with thunder. Countless massive lightning bolts, resembling ancient thunder dragons, roared through the air. Each bolt could annihilate a Death Profound Realm expert, but dissipated harmlessly around the three of them.

As they ventured deeper, they saw a vast sea of thunderous magma, with thunder raging above it. Above the sea stood a silver altar with ten thousand thunder steps, and at the top, a throne upon which a figure sat. The figure, though not particularly large, exuded an intimidating aura.

Xiao Tian looked up to see a massive ball of thunder, like a sun made of lightning, hovering above the altar. Within this thunder sun, he sensed the familiar, terrifying power of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.

"Xiao Tian, let's eliminate the demon king together!" Moluo suggested, his hand igniting with flames that spread outwards, creating an intense heatwave that warped the space around them. With a flick of his fingers, the flames surged into the thunder magma, creating a massive vortex.

"Roar!" An extremely malevolent roar echoed from the vortex as a tremendous black aura surged out. "Boom!" The thunder sun above the sky responded with a loud boom, and giant lightning chains appeared, connecting the sun to the vortex's depths.

Xiao Tian looked into the vortex to see a hundred-foot-tall shadow entangled in the lightning chains, emitting a terrifying black aura attempting to corrode the chains. "Damn humans!" the enormous shadow roared. "My demon race will eventually conquer your world!"

"Whether that happens or not, you're about to die," Xiao Tian retorted, releasing the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Space Ancestral Symbol, and the Primordial Ancient Array.

"Swish!" The three divine artifacts unleashed beams of light that purified the demon's aura. Moluo's eyes widened in disbelief. "You have not only the Devouring Ancestral Symbol but also the Space Ancestral Symbol!"

Moluo, aware of Xiao Tian's possession of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol from Qingzhi, was shocked to learn he also had the Space Ancestral Symbol. Xiao Tian shouted to Moluo, "Moluo, place the Fire Ancestral Symbol in the center of the Primordial Ancient Array. Together, we will suppress it!"

"Alright!" Moluo responded, transforming the flames into the Fire Ancestral Symbol, which merged into the Primordial Ancient Array.

Xiao Tian then looked up, saying, "Thunder Emperor, I know you have remnants of your consciousness here. Join us in slaying the demon!" As his words echoed, a beam of lightning shot from the thunder sun to the throne, and the figure sitting there slowly opened his eyes.

The Thunder Emperor looked at Xiao Tian and Moluo, smiling, "The Fire Ancestral Symbol, Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and Space Ancestral Symbol—my thousand-year wait was worth it!" With a gesture, the thunder sun transformed into a silver light that merged with the Primordial Ancient Array.

"Four Ancestral Symbols!!!" The demon king at the bottom of the thunder sea trembled with unprecedented fear upon seeing the four Ancestral Symbols. Just one Thunder Ancestral Symbol had suppressed it for a millennium. With all four symbols present, its death was inevitable.

"Demon king, prepare to die!" Xiao Tian shouted, fully activating the Primordial Ancient Array with the power of the four Ancestral Symbols.

"Boom!" The dazzling divine light enveloped the demon king, causing it to scream in agony. "No, please, no!" it pleaded, but the three of them ignored its cries. The hundred-foot-tall shadow shrank continuously until it vanished from existence.
