Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"Your Highness, in just half a month, the ancient ruins will begin to crumble. To ensure we obtain that supreme treasure, we must go and stake it out beforehand!"

Inside a small courtyard in Saint Pill City, Elder Qingshan spoke to Zi Yan, who was gazing up at the starry sky.

After half a year, Zi Yan has made further progress on her original foundation and reached the peak of the four-star Dou Zun realm. If it weren't for the upcoming opening of the ancient ruins, Zi Yan might have already reached the five-star Dou Zun realm!

Even at the Dou Zun realm, he was still able to maintain a progress of one star per year, a talent that is unimaginable for ordinary geniuses!

Just like the Pavilion Master of the Four Directions Pavilion, who may have been in the Dou Zun realm for hundreds of years, the highest-ranking Feng Zun, Feng Xian, is now only at the level of a four or five-star Dou Zun.

In fact, in terms of combat strength, even if they are at the same level, Zi Yan can easily sweep them away!

This is the difference between a prodigy and an ordinary genius!

Besides Zi Yan, Cai Lin and the others have also made considerable progress.

Even Cai Lin, who had been promoted to Dou Zun for less than half a year, took a small step forward on the basis of consolidating his foundation and entered the mid-stage of the three-star Dou Zun level!

As for Qinglin and Xiaoyixian, that's a bit of an exaggeration. These two, at least in the short term, don't need to rely on themselves for cultivation at all!

Qinglin inherited the legacy of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, and the countless serpent demon beasts still contributed to his cultivation within the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil space.

After half a year of cultivation, Qinglin has reached the mid-stage of the Five-Star Dou Zun realm.

Of course, the Heavenly Serpent Palace had declined for many years, and after leaving the Beast Domain for the barren Northwest Continent, it had lost much of its foundation.

Over the past six months, Qinglin's cultivation speed has gradually slowed down.

Little Fairy Doctor, on the other hand, made the fastest progress among them. She not only completely absorbed Binghe's acquired Calamity Poison Body, but also mastered the poison-attribute secret technique that Binghe had obtained, greatly increasing her combat power.

Combined with his current six-star Dou Zun strength, plus the terrifying extreme toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Fire, even an ordinary eight-star Dou Zun would not dare to underestimate him!

"Let's wait five more days. If Lin Feng still hasn't emerged from seclusion after five days, we'll head to the Beast Domain first!"

Zi Yan gazed at the starry sky above Saint Pill City, hesitated for a moment, and decided to wait a little longer.

Over the years, this prince of the ancient dragon clan, though seemingly carefree, has long been accustomed to being by Lin Feng's side, following his plans, while Miss Zi Yan only needs to use her fists to defeat the enemy!

"As Your Highness commands!"

After thinking for a moment, Elder Qingshan felt that with his strength at the late stage of the second-star Dou Sheng realm, and with the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit not yet exposed, having him in charge would make victory almost certain. It wouldn't hurt to go a few days later!

"What's more, that senior also returned at that time!"

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Zi Yan, Cai Lin, and the others emerged from seclusion early, with Elder Qingshan waiting for them.

Of course, Xiao Yan, who had received the news six months ago, also appeared before everyone at this moment.

What's astonishing is that he actually broke through from the original eight-star Dou Zong realm to the peak of the two-star Dou Zun realm, achieving a leap forward!

Beside him stood Feng Xian, the deputy head of the Starfall Pavilion.

Indeed, after Yao Chen's return, Feng Xian, just like in the original story, returned the position of the Starfall Pavilion Master to Yao Chen.

When Xiao Yan advanced to the Dou Zun realm in the Starfall Pavilion, in front of everyone, many disciples willingly bowed to him as the young pavilion master!

Beside her stood a young girl in a light green dress, none other than Mu Qingluan.

To minimize unnecessary trouble during their trip to the Beast Domain, Xiao Yan and the others, after discussion, decided to bring along this disciple who wielded considerable influence there.

However, if Xiao Yan and the others knew that Zi Yan and the others had brought along a two-star Dou Sheng, what would they think?

"Your Highness, Lin Feng is unlikely to emerge from seclusion anytime soon. Let's head to the Beast Domain first!"

Looking up at the unmoving star field, Elder Qingshan slowly spoke.

Zi Yan, who had long since shed her loli-like figure and transformed into a young woman in her prime, ignored them and continued to gaze at the star field. After a long while, a smile slowly appeared on her face.

"They're here!"

"Boom!"

As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, a devastating wave suddenly erupted in the originally calm sky, and spatial rifts quietly appeared in the cloudless sky.

"Enemy attack! Enforcement team members, immediately on alert!"

Upon seeing this apocalyptic scene, the first to react were the members of the law enforcement team.

After reminding each other, they quickly flew to the highest point next to them, evacuating the crowd while contacting their superiors and preparing to form the Small Core Formation.

"No need for precautions, Elder Lin Feng has emerged from seclusion!"

Just then, a cheerful voice rang out in their ears; it was none other than Xuan Kongzi, the giant of the Pill Tower!

Then, the three-man team from Danta reappeared in everyone's sight, standing at the highest point nearby, all gazing at the sky with expressions of awe.

"This aura... Has Lin Feng actually begun to enter this realm?"

The muttering came from one of the three people, but who was in the mood to pay attention at that moment?

"Soul, Celestial Realm!"

Within the star field, the purplish-black flames that were originally burning everywhere have disappeared, and the enormous fire dragon that was so huge that its boundaries could not be seen has also vanished at some unknown time.

Instead, a giant, cyan-green fire lotus, a thousand meters in size, slowly rotated in the void. Judging from the aura it inadvertently revealed, it was comparable to a Transcendent Battle Venerable!

This is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that devoured most of the original power of the Three Thousand Burning Flames. At this moment, it is still greenish-blue, but its strength is vastly different from that of half a year ago!

If the ranking of different flames were to be changed now, they might be ranked in the top eight or even the top seven!

This is because in the past six months, it has not only devoured the Three Thousand Burning Flames, but also absorbed the vast amount of stellar power accumulated over the long years of the star field.

If Lin Feng hadn't subdued it for many years and developed a deep connection with it, he would have had a real difficulty subduing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame given its current strength!

Of course, Lin Feng's progress in the past six months has been considerable!

Half a year was enough time for him to finish refining the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning. During this time, he also continued to refine the essence blood of the Old Dragon Emperor!

The purity of the energy contained in these two is far beyond what Lin Feng currently possesses. He only needs to simply imprint his own mark on them to absorb them.

This saved a lot of time, so half a year later, with the help of many people, he has reached the peak of the first-stage Dou Zun!

Even more surprising, after entering the Transcendent Realm, suddenly appeared before him!

After entering the Dou Zun realm, he used Dan Lei or Dragon Emperor's essence blood as cultivation resources.

The former is a test of heaven and earth for pills of grade seven and above, so it is naturally without any impurities. As for the old dragon emperor's blood essence, it goes without saying that he is a person who has reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Sheng.

The essence and blood of such a person have begun to undergo miraculous changes in the unseen realm, and their purity has even surpassed that of an eighth-grade pill.

In other words, if Lin Feng continues to cultivate using these two methods, then on the path beyond the Transcendent Realm, he will only need to accumulate energy and will not have to worry about purification at all!

With his alchemy skills, Dan Lei could naturally have as much as he wanted!

With this powerful weapon, perhaps he can complete the transformation of his cultivation within five years and reach the threshold of a half-saint!

This is not Lin Feng's biggest gain in the past six months. The improvement in his soul power is what makes him happiest!

When he began his seclusion, Lin Feng took out the smaller of the two remaining clumps of soul essence and refined it.

After being purified by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame for nearly a day, this soul essence was finally completely pure, and Lin Feng began to absorb and refine it, hoping to advance further.

However, as he entered the second month of his seclusion, Lin Feng finally opened his eyes, somewhat disappointed yet understanding.

The gap between the Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Realm is simply too vast!

Even though he had already reached the peak of the Spirit Realm, the addition of the Earthly Fiend Hall collecting soul essence over a long period of time still prevented him from breaking through the threshold between the Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Realm!

"However, it's not entirely in vain. At least, that faint barrier has appeared."

"As long as I refine the soul essence I obtained from the branch hall guarded by Demon Rain, I will surely be able to break through to the Heavenly Realm!"

As Lin Feng had predicted, after three or four months of refining, his soul finally entered the Heavenly Realm!

Viewing the world from the perspective of this level of spiritual origin, one seems to be able to see the very essence of the world, where countless colorful energies flow freely between heaven and earth.

Among them, the five different colored energies seemed to be particularly affectionate towards him.

Even without him activating his cultivation technique, these different colored energies entered his body on their own, as if Lin Feng's body were their mother.

It was precisely because he refined the two clumps of soul essence that Lin Feng spent so much time.

"At the peak of the first-stage Dou Zun realm, combined with numerous techniques, even a fifth-stage Dou Zun could hold their own!"

He slowly rose and gently beckoned to the enormous blue lotus, which then shrunk and came into Lin Feng's palm.

"And if the Great Sage of Returning to Origin's soul secret technique is used, hehe, even a half-saint level expert, under the Returning to Origin Divine Needle of a Heavenly Realm soul, would they be able to gain the upper hand?"

After his strength reached the level of a half-saint, Lin Feng felt a little more relaxed. Even his battle qi, which had just been stabilized, began to fluctuate again, as if he was about to break through to the next level!

However, after hesitating for a moment, Lin Feng suppressed this feeling.

It wasn't about stabilizing his realm or anything like that. Lin Feng, who was nourished and improved by Dan Lei and the essence blood of a nine-star Dou Sheng, had no crisis of unstable realm.

"However," Lin Feng looked down at the barren star field, seemingly seeing Zi Yan gazing up at him through space, a smile appearing on his lips, "I can't go back on my promise!"

"Buzz"

After a spatial ripple, Lin Feng's figure had vanished, leaving only a barren star field in his place.

After Lin Feng left, the Five Elements Formation did not disappear; it continued to provide support and stability, and the power of the stars gradually flowed back towards this location.

Perhaps, many years from now, this place will once again be so densely filled with stellar energy that it obscures the view.

Perhaps, another Three Thousand Burning Flames will be born here again, only its appearance may be very different!

At that time, it is unknown whether the legend of Lin Feng still circulated on the Dou Qi Continent.

Elder Qingshan, a powerful Dou Sheng, personally opened a spatial passage. Even though the Beast Domain was extremely far from Saint Pill City, the group arrived at their destination after half a day.

If a Dou Huang powerhouse were to fly such a distance using Dou Qi wings, it might take years!

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance to the ruins. Although there were still ten days before the ruins opened, some magical beasts had already begun to gather here.

If one were familiar with the forces of the Beast Realm, they would be surprised to find that these seventh-tier magical beasts actually represent many of the major families in the Beast Realm.

On the summit of a mountain, a powerful force, consisting of only a dozen or so people, had occupied the entire mountain range!

Strangely, the surrounding magical beasts showed no sign of displeasure.

Even when he occasionally looked up at the mountain peak, a hint of respect would flash in his eyes!

"Your Highness, these scruffy birds are the descendants of the ancient Celestial Phoenix clan, who once fought against our race in ancient times—the Celestial Demon Phoenix!"

Seeing Zi Yan's slightly furrowed brows, Elder Qingshan, standing to the side, understood and said something.

"So that's it! No wonder I felt a mix of anger and longing; it's the descendants of those foods!"

On the mountaintop, a figure dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes suddenly felt a strange sense of disgust and fear.

"Qing'er, what's wrong?"

"Master, I'm alright!"

Feng Qing'er frowned and waved her hand in response to Lei Zunzhe's concern. Then she looked at the group of people in the sky who had given her a strange feeling and murmured softly.

"who are they?"

"Your Highness, should we capture Hei Qing and bring him here for a treat?"

Hei Qing, who had remained silent until now, clenched his huge fist. Since finding Zi Yan, Hei Qing's status on Donglong Island had clearly risen.

With so many resources poured in, his promotion speed was even comparable to that of Lin Feng and the others.

Hei Qing, who was only an eight or nine-star Dou Zun at the beginning, has now reached the third-level Dou Zun realm!

"Forget it, the most important thing right now is to acquire that supreme treasure. We're not about to bully a mere eighth-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix!"

Elder Qingshan spoke up to stop them, and then slowly took a step forward.

"Although the ruins are not yet ready to open, it's not far off."

"In that case, I will open it ahead of schedule, and leave a seal at the entrance to ensure that no one else besides us can enter for ten days!" (End of Chapter)
