Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 183 Fool

Inside the Demon Flame Valley, Fang Yan stared intently at the pill floating in his palm.

He had been at the peak of Dou Huang for many years, but he still couldn't break through the boundary between Dou Huang and Dou Zong. Therefore, the importance of a Breakthrough Pill to him was self-evident. Within the Black Corner Region, the only one capable of refining a Breakthrough Pill was Han Feng, but unfortunately, he had visited Han Feng many times to ask for the pill, but all his requests had been unsuccessful.

The last time a Breakthrough Pill appeared in the Black Corner Region was when Han Feng, a newcomer, released it in order to get a powerful expert to help him. Unfortunately, that Breakthrough Pill was obtained by Mo Tianxing. Now, Lin Feng has placed a Breakthrough Pill in front of Fang Yan. If he hadn't just witnessed Lin Feng standing in mid-air, given his personality, he probably would have already tried to snatch it.

"Master Lin Feng, please come inside and wait a moment while I awaken the Ancestor."

With difficulty, Fang Yan returned the Broken Sect Pill in his palm to Lin Feng, then instructed his men to lead him into the reception room, and walked happily toward a hidden secret room.

"Click."

After navigating several turns, Fang Yan stopped before a stone door deep underground. He calmed himself before gently knocking. He then stood motionless outside the door, awaiting his ancestor's response.

"Buzz"

Before long, a wave of energy emanated from behind the stone gate. Upon seeing this, Fang Yan's face lit up with joy, for this was a sign of his ancestor's revival.

"Fang Yan, what is the purpose of awakening the Ancestor? Didn't the Ancestor say not to disturb us unless it's something important?"

The stone door remained unmoved, but a hoarse voice came from inside the secret chamber.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, Canaan Academy, Breakthrough Pill, Heavenly Demon Puppet, Young Dou Zong."

Fang Yan stood outside the stone gate, respectfully recounting Lin Feng's intention to trade the Heavenly Demon Puppet Secret Technique for the Breaking Sect Pill. Afterward, he looked at the stone gate with a somewhat eager expression.

"Ancestor, why don't you come out of seclusion and capture Lin Feng? That way, we can prevent the secret technique from being leaked."

"Buzz"

A spatial fluctuation suddenly flashed behind Fang Yan, followed by the slow appearance of an old figure, none other than the infamous Earth Demon Ancestor of the Black Corner Region.

"Ancestor!"

"Let's go. This old ancestor wants to see what kind of skills this Dou Zong from Canaan Academy has that dares to come to my Demon Flame Valley to trade. If they can't withstand even one or two moves from this old ancestor, they can leave, but the pills must be left behind."

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Inside the reception hall, Lin Feng sat in a chair with his eyes closed, resting. The maidservant serving him also breathed a sigh of relief. Although this young man was young and handsome, those who grew up in the Black Corner Region only recognized strength. Facing Lin Feng, who was at the Dou Zong realm, the maidservant was terrified.

"Young friend, are you from Canaan Academy?"

Lin Feng didn't have to wait long before an old figure slowly appeared in the reception room, followed by Fang Yan, the Great Elder of Demon Flame Valley. The old man's identity was self-evident.

"I am an elder of the Alchemy Department at Canaan Academy. I have long heard of the illustrious name of our ancestor, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary!"

Feeling a strong chill approaching, Lin Feng unconsciously stood up. In response to the Earth Demon Ancestor's probing, a green flame slowly surged from his spirit storage point to fight against it.

"As expected, this is someone who once fought against the old dean. Although he was thoroughly humiliated by the old dean, after decades of accumulation, this ice-attribute battle aura has become increasingly terrifying."

Lin Feng mentally assessed the strength of the Earth Demon Ancestor and found that he was indeed terrifying. In the original work, if Xiao Yan had not possessed a powerful weapon like the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, he would have definitely died before he could even begin his career.

Of course, Lin Feng wasn't afraid. Leaving aside the three drops of Dragon Emperor's essence blood hidden deep within his body, Lin Feng's current two-star Dou Zong realm, his mastery of the Strange Fire, the Five Elements Technique, the Five Elements Sealing Technique, and his powerful physique—all these advantages meant that even if he wasn't a match for the Earth Demon Ancestor, escaping would be incredibly easy for him. This was why he was so calm and composed.

"Its color is rather light, giving off a powerful, explosive feeling, and it's far hotter than ordinary flames. Could this be the legendary Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"

The Earth Demon Ancestor looked somewhat shocked. After seeing Lin Feng with his own eyes and feeling the vitality emanating from him, he knew that this was not some old monster in disguise. In addition, with the Breakthrough Pill in his hand and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, he knew that the Breakthrough Pill must have come from him.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

Where did that old devil Mang Tianchi find such a genius elder? It's terrifying!

"Young friend Lin Feng, you're too kind." Looking at Lin Feng before him, the Earth Demon Ancestor assessed the chances of capturing him. Finding it somewhat difficult, he forced a smile onto his aged face. "I've heard that you intend to exchange a Dou Zong Pill for my Heavenly Demon Puppet Secret Technique?"

"That is indeed the case. I wonder what the Ancestor's opinion is?"

"Haha, young friend Lin Feng is so sincere. In that case, this old ancestor will grant your wish!"

The Earth Demon Ancestor stroked his sparse beard and smiled slightly. "Fang Yan, go to the secret chamber and retrieve the Heavenly Demon Puppet Technique!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing that the transaction was successful, Elder Fang Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. Once he obtained this Breakthrough Pill, with his many years of achievements, it would surely belong to him. This was why he was willing to risk offending the ancestor to awaken it.

As Fang Yan headed towards the secret chamber, the Earth Demon Ancestor subtly probed, attempting to uncover Lin Feng's origins and his relationship with Mang Tianchi. Lin Feng selectively answered some questions, remaining silent with a smile when asked about matters concerning his own secrets.

Seeing this, the Earth Demon Ancestor could only curse inwardly, but he wore a smile on his face.

"Tap, tap, tap"

Before long, Elder Fangyan hurried back to the conference room, holding in his hand the Heavenly Demon Puppet Secret Technique.

Lin Feng didn't hesitate any longer and simply handed over the Breakthrough Pill in his hand, exchanging it with Elder Fang Yan, who was eagerly waiting.

"Ancestor, Elder Fangyan, since the deal is done, I shall take my leave!"

After giving a slight bow to politely decline their advances, Lin Feng stepped into the air and departed.

Watching Lin Feng's departing figure, Elder Fang Yan asked his ancestor.

"Ancestor, why didn't you seize the Breakthrough Pill just now, but instead chose to trade it?"

"idiot!"

As the Earth Demon Ancestor watched Lin Feng's gradually disappearing figure, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and he let out a loud shout.

"A sixth-grade alchemist so young, and even a Dou Zong expert—do you really think there are such geniuses in the Northwest Continent?"

"At this age, even Han Feng, who is the disciple of the Medicine Venerable, cannot compare to him. He must be a prodigy of a major power in the Central Plains. The Ancestor does not want to bring about the destruction of Demon Flame Valley."

After giving a reprimand, the Earth Demon Ancestor's expression softened slightly. He looked at the startled Elder Fang Yan.

"Of course, we didn't have any conflict with them this time; in fact, we did them a favor, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Your most important task next is to adjust your condition, take this extremely high-quality Breakthrough Pill, and seize this opportunity to advance to the Dou Zong level. At that time, the Demon Flame Valley will be able to expand its strength to include two Dou Zongs."
