Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

"You were just a defeated opponent in the past, how could you possibly shake me in the slightest!" Yao Chen's voice, carrying an unquestionable indifference, slowly rang out, like an ice blade slicing through the silent night sky.

"You bastard! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" An Tian's face was as cold as frost.

A layer of dark spiritual light suddenly emerged from his palm. Then, his arm twisted at a strange and astonishing angle, as if tearing apart the constraints of space. A massive surge of pitch-black battle qi rushed out and quickly condensed into a ferocious and terrifying beast, carrying a heart-palpitating energy pressure and sharp claws, rushing straight towards Yao Chen.

Faced with An Tian's ferocious offensive, Yao Chen's face remained calm. He slowly extended his palm, gently clenched it, and the surrounding space seemed to lose its support at that moment, collapsing on the spot!
The ferocious beast was instantly cut in half, turning into countless tiny droplets that scattered and fell like the most dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Yao Chen's palm strike not only easily neutralized An Tian's attack, but also sent an invisible spatial giant hand through the void, silently attacking An Tian.

With this palm strike, the energy between heaven and earth violently vibrated, as if even space itself was trembling.

Although the giant spatial hand was silent, an unprecedented sense of crisis welled up in An Tian's heart.

He quickly changed his hand seals, let out a low shout, and the endless cold energy in the world instantly gathered, forming a pitch-black mist that was a hundred feet in size, firmly protecting him inside.

The giant spatial hand slammed violently into the dark mist, and instantly, overwhelming spatial power raged out, distorting and deforming the surrounding space, as if even time itself had been frozen.

The sight of two semi-saint level experts clashing was so astonishing that it caused everyone present to change their expressions and feel deeply shocked.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the seemingly indestructible black fog suddenly shattered in the blink of an eye, turning into countless fog droplets that poured down like a torrential rain, landing in the forest with a crisp impact.

An Tian staggered backward from the blow, covering a distance of over a hundred meters. He let out a low groan, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury in his first encounter with Yao Chen.

The breathtaking battle in the sky naturally attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the distance. Among them were many knowledgeable individuals who recognized Yao Chen's identity at a glance. In an instant, exclamations of shock rose and fell, echoing between heaven and earth.

"That...that's Medicine Venerable Yao Chen? He's still alive?!"

"The news from the Northwest Continent is indeed true!"

"With Yao Chen's strength restored, the crisis facing the silver-haired woman and the others is likely over. Moreover, with Yao Zunzhe possessing the strength of a half-saint, his reputation and power will soar once again, perhaps enough to rival the Three Valleys..."

This is Yao Chen's first appearance on the Central Continent since his resurrection!
Whispers rose and fell among the ancient ruins, carrying a complex and unpredictable emotion.

The reappearance of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen in Zhongzhou will undoubtedly be a world-shaking event. For the older generation of powerful figures, Yao Chen's influence in Zhongzhou back then is still profound and unforgettable.

Despite the passage of time, the title of "Number One Alchemist in Central Continent" remains unchallenged. Even the three giants of the Pill Tower have to admit that they are still inferior to Yao Chen in alchemy.

Now, the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou and even the entire continent, who has been missing for many years, has returned. The shock and turmoil he has caused will surely sweep across the entire continent.

Looking at Yao Chen, who was gaining the upper hand, Xiao Yue couldn't help but smile faintly.

She wasn't afraid of the Soul Palace's retaliation, because although the Soul Palace was powerful, it was also subject to many constraints because of its strength. Those top experts couldn't easily take action, and as long as these peak forces didn't intervene, she would be safe.

She casually caught a falling drop of mist, only to be surprised to find that it contained an unusually rich amount of mist energy. Although this energy seemed gentle, it actually contained extremely strong corrosive properties.

Xiao Yue secretly speculated that if it were shot out at high speed, this drop of mist would be enough to penetrate the Dou Qi defense of a Dou Zong expert.

Above the sky, Yao Chen stood suspended, his gaze calmly sweeping over the strange mist droplets that permeated the surroundings. Any ghostly mist that entered within a hundred feet of him would instantly shatter and dissipate, as if an invisible barrier surrounded him.

However, whether it was Xiao Yue and her group or the powerful figures in the distance, all eyes were focused on the sky, and everyone could feel it.

At this moment, these two top-tier semi-saint powerhouses were preparing a killing move that would shake the heavens and the earth.

"Congeal!"

An Tian's voice suddenly became unusually solemn. As his hand seals rapidly changed, he unleashed a deafening shout.

As his stern shout fell, the strange mist droplets that filled the sky began to tremble violently. Then, with a whooshing sound as they ripped through the sky, in an instant, these mist droplets rapidly condensed into a pitch-black mist ball about a hundred feet in size in front of Dark Sky.

The fog sphere was enormous, pitch black, and slowly rotated, releasing a terrifyingly powerful energy. The sheer intensity of this energy turned everyone present deathly pale, as if they foresaw that once the fog sphere exploded, the entire mountain range would be razed to the ground.

The instant the fog ball took shape, An Tian took a deep breath, aimed his palm at the fog ball from afar, and in an instant, a chilling white aura burst forth from his palm and quickly adhered to the fog ball.

"Click, click!"

As the extreme cold eroded the surface of the fog ball, a thick layer of solid ice quickly condensed.

In a short moment, the originally pitch-black fog ball transformed into a giant skull, and the energy it contained became even more terrifying.

The fighting techniques unleashed by the two semi-saint powerhouses at this moment were powerful enough to shatter one's soul.

The powerful figures from all over the Central Continent gazed at the enormous skull in the sky, feeling the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from it, and an indescribable sense of oppression welled up from the depths of their souls.

Everyone turned pale and retreated hastily, knowing that once this terrifying energy erupts, the entire majestic ancient ruins will be swallowed up by the merciless torrent and reduced to nothingness. And those living beings within it will likely be unable to escape the fate of becoming tragic footnotes to this magnificent spectacle.

The wind howled, like the whispers of death, incessantly. The destructive power contained within the skeleton meant that even if one turned to flee now, it would be futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to withstand the impending disaster.

"Yao Chen, in our past battle, I was defeated by you. Today, I want to see if you can so easily neutralize my fatal blow!" After unleashing his fighting technique, An Tian's face turned even paler, as if he had exhausted all his life force for the glory of this one strike.

However, in the face of An Tian's provocation, Yao Chen merely raised his eyebrows slightly, his face remaining calm as still water, as if the skull that could shake the heavens and earth was nothing but an illusion to him, not worth mentioning.

"Hmph, I'll see how long your arrogance lasts." Seeing this, An Tian sneered even more, his hands forming hand seals like lightning. In an instant, his face turned red, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, splashing onto the skeleton. His roar shook the heavens and the earth.

"Soul Erosion of the Heavens!"

With this unparalleled and domineering roar, An Tian pushed his hands forward suddenly. The huge skeleton seemed to be given life, and it suddenly accelerated its rotation while trembling violently. Like the eye of the god of death, it rushed towards Yao Chen with the power to destroy the world.

Wherever the skeleton passed, space crumbled inch by inch, and dark spatial rifts, like the mouths of the underworld, emerged from nothingness, devouring all light and life.

On the mountain peak, everyone stared at the approaching skeleton with extremely solemn expressions.

"This is a pseudo-Heavenly Rank Battle Technique from the Soul Palace... Elder Yao, can you withstand it?" Little Fairy Doctor and the others were also on edge. Faced with this terrifying energy, even a Dou Zun expert seemed so insignificant. However, just as the skeleton was about to touch Yao Chen, he finally slowly raised his hand.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes were focused on this seemingly ordinary hand.

"Destroy!"

Yao Chen gave a soft shout, and the unstoppable skeleton suddenly froze when it was only inches away from him, as if it were imprisoned by time itself.

The entire mountainside was deathly silent.

An Tian was stunned. They couldn't believe that their all-out attack had been so easily neutralized.

"Crack!"

As Yao Chen clenched his fist, the surface of the skull, which contained terrifying energy, began to twist and deform, as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing it hard.

The sound rang out again, and the skeleton finally could not withstand the force and exploded with a bang.

The terrifying energy storm raged like a hurricane, but it suddenly stopped after spreading to a certain range, as if blocked by an invisible barrier, and silently dissipated into nothingness.

As the mist slowly drifted down from the sky, everyone who witnessed it couldn't help but swallow hard. The terrifying attack that was enough to destroy mountains was so easily neutralized by Yao Chen, and even his sleeves didn't tremble in the slightest.

"Is this the power of a semi-saint...?"

The many powerful figures in Zhongzhou exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and awe. This power had far surpassed the level of a Dou Zun; it was true peak power!
An Tian was also affected the moment the skeleton was destroyed. His body swayed, a muffled groan came from his throat, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing became disordered.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared intently at Yao Chen in the distance, his eyes filled with resentment and fear. He never expected that he would suffer the same result again when he met Yao Chen again, and such a complete defeat at that!

"Damn..."

An Tian gritted his teeth, his killing intent almost turning into madness, but he was no ordinary person after all. After a moment, he forcibly suppressed his emotions, and a grayish-white color appeared on his face.

He understood that the gap between himself and Yao Chen was beyond bridging by any means, and that today's actions were destined to fail.

"go!"

An Tian took a deep breath and made a decisive decision. Although he was unwilling, he knew that staying here would only bring him humiliation.

With a wave of his hand, the space around him was instantly torn open, and his figure vanished into the crack in a flash.

"Since we're here... we should leave something behind."

Yao Chen stared at the direction An Tian had left, a cold glint in his eyes. He gently opened his palm, as if traversing an endless distance, and resolutely clenched it against the spatial rift.

"Boom!"

With this deafening roar, the spatial rift seemed unable to withstand the immense power and collapsed with a crash. A terrifyingly powerful gust of wind pierced through the spatial barrier and penetrated deep into the rift. Faintly, two low rumbles echoed within the rift.

"Chichi!"

Several bright red arrows of blood gushed out from the crack, like crimson lightning, shooting towards the medicine. However, just as they were about to touch the medicine within a hundred feet of it, they vanished like morning dew meeting the sun, quickly dissipating into a cloud of blood mist and disappearing with the wind.

"Yao Chen, I will remember this grudge and repay it tenfold in the future!"

As the blood mist dissipated and the spatial rift slowly closed, An Tian's roar, filled with rage and resentment, transcended the constraints of space and echoed throughout this world for a long time.

The pain and resentment mixed in that roar were enough to prove that Yao Chen's palm strike had caused him indescribable damage.

Yao Chen smiled calmly, a smile that contained both disdain for An Tian's threat and indifference to past grievances. He waved his hand lightly, and the chaotic space around him, disrupted by the battle, gradually returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Today I am merely an avatar; I will take your life another day." Yao Chen's voice was calm and profound, like the distant sound of an ancient bell.

Seeing this from afar, Mu Qingluan and the others finally felt relieved. Little Fairy Doctor breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes sparkling with admiration: "Old Master Yao is indeed unfathomable. Such strength is probably at the peak of the half-saint realm."

"Hehe, the old man was able to repel Dark Heaven even with just one clone. He must be at least at the peak of the advanced semi-saint level. Otherwise, Dark Heaven, with his low-level semi-saint cultivation, shouldn't have been defeated so miserably," the little girl said.

Xiao Yue smiled noncommittally upon hearing this. Today she had truly witnessed the strength of a half-saint, which was far beyond what an ordinary Dou Zun could compare to.

After all, being associated with the word "saint" already signifies transcendence and being above heaven and earth!
"Oh!"

As Xiao Yue pondered, a muffled sound suddenly came from the depths of the ancient ruins. Sensing something, she quickly looked up and frowned.

As if it were caused by countless years of blood sedimentation, an indescribable, soaring, and malevolent aura spread directly from the ancient ruins.

Not only her, but everyone felt this oppressive aura! Even Yao Chen looked up.

"This aura... is it the Nine Netherworld Python?"

Xiao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly.

However, unlike Bei Ming Xiaomeng's bloodline power, the aura she sensed also contained a kind of ferocity, more ferocious than any ancient beast, something she had never seen before in her life!

"Wrong, it's the Ancient Celestial Serpent!"

Bei Ming Xiaomeng, who was standing beside her, seemed to have expected this. She smiled slightly and said this.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue looked at her with some surprise, but the other person didn't seem surprised at all...

suddenly,

Xiao Yue's heart stirred slightly. She remembered that when she met Bei Ming Xiaomeng that night, the other party had said that someone else would appear!

Could it be…? (End of Chapter)
