Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"Boom!"

Even a slight move by a Dou Sheng-level expert is earth-shattering!

Elder Qingmu stood in the void, simply raising his hands slightly and reaching out to grab the small world of the Battle Saint hidden deep in the void before him.

In the eyes of the many demonic beasts below, a pair of colossal hands formed from condensed energy suddenly appeared and plunged fiercely into the void in front of them.

With a tremendous sound, a massive crack several thousand meters long suddenly appeared in the void before them, emanating a terrifying cutting and devouring force.

The ancient trees and solid ground around them were instantly pulled by the powerful suction and slammed into the crack.

"Your Highness, please!"

Once the massive spatial rift stabilized, Elder Qingshan gestured for everyone to enter.

Nodding slightly, Zi Yan entered with Lin Feng and the others. Having already witnessed the world's greatest power in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, they were naturally not shocked by this.

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, who were in the ring, were different. Even at the peak of Yao Chen's life, this master and disciple pair had only seen one Dou Sheng expert, namely the Grand Elder of the Little Pill Tower.

However, that was merely guidance on alchemy; how could it compare to what we have today?

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan!"

Seeing that the group was still in shock and about to disappear into the end of the space, Lin Feng couldn't help but remind them to hurry up and catch up.

"Let's hurry and catch up! If Senior Brother Lin Feng and the others leave, we won't be able to stop those greedy figures below!"

Xiao Yan glanced at the numerous seventh-tier magical beasts with bloodshot eyes below. Faced with such a large number, even though he had reached the Dou Zun realm, he felt a sense of fear!

The power of a Dou Sheng expert was truly terrifying. However, this place was, after all, the entrance to the ancient ruins, and the many experts from the Beast Domain were naturally unwilling to leave.

After sensing Lin Feng and the others leaving, they quickly gathered at this location.

"The Battle Saint's Ruins have opened! Everyone, charge!"

After Lin Feng and the others completely disappeared, among the many transformed magical beasts, someone roared, and the already crimson eyes of the beasts became even more fervent, their greed no longer able to be suppressed.

Suppressing their fear of the Dou Sheng powerhouse, they transformed into their original forms and flew towards the massive spatial rift.

"Bang bang bang"

However, as the numerous magical beasts flew to the entrance of the spatial rift and were about to pass through, their enormous bodies suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Then, in the eyes of the many bloodshot demonic beasts behind them, who had lost their minds in the face of the ruins of the Battle Saint, it exploded with a bang, and blood mist filled the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they were sucked into the spatial rift again!

Upon seeing this, the many magical beasts behind them immediately stopped, drenched in sweat, and the crimson color in their eyes rapidly faded.

"roar"

Numerous roars of beasts rose and fell, each conveying a mixture of fear and relief.

If they had been any faster, they would likely have been cut into blood mist by the space, just like the beasts before them, and then sucked into the ruins by the powerful suction of the spatial rift.

"The ruins left by a Dou Sheng powerhouse are not so easy to traverse. That powerhouse from before must have also been a Dou Sheng powerhouse!"

A middle-aged man, dressed in fine clothes and exuding an imposing aura, stared at the enormous spatial rift and said with a solemn expression.

"Tiger King, have you discovered anything?"

Upon seeing that it was the patriarch of a powerful clan in the Beast Realm who spoke, some eighth-rank magical beasts also came to his side.

"The one who just made a move must undoubtedly be a powerhouse of at least Half-Saint level. You all must have explored and tried to break through this ruin, but even with the combined efforts of many Dou Zun, it would be difficult!"

The Tiger King, with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, slowly took two steps closer.

"Among them are some beings no weaker than myself, having reached the peak of the eighth rank. Their combined strength, coupled with the naturally powerful bodies of us magical beasts, would be overwhelming even for ordinary Transcendent Realm Venerables!"

"That old man was able to easily tear through space and enter before the ruins were even opened, so he definitely possesses the strength of a half-saint, and it's even highly possible that he's a Dou Sheng!"

"What!?"

"Tiger King, is your guess wrong? If it's a Dou Sheng level expert, what chance do we have of obtaining the inheritance?"

"Yes, are we going to go home empty-handed this time?"

"."

Many eighth-tier magical beasts howled in despair, and the Tiger King's face was extremely gloomy. He was still hoping to obtain treasures from the Dou Sheng Ruins so that he could enter the Transcendent Realm.

But what could he do against a half-saint or even a battle saint?

"Please hear me out!"

Just then, a clear voice slowly rang out on the earth. On the high mountain peak, Feng Qing'er, representing the Wind and Thunder Pavilion or the Heavenly Demon Phoenix lineage, slowly flew over.

"Gentlemen, although the Dou Sheng level expert has already entered, since he hasn't driven us away, we still have a chance to enter and obtain the treasures of this ancient ruin!"

"I have already sent word to the elders of the clan, and they will arrive in no time. If any of you wish to enter, you may follow my Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"

"Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Feng Qing'er's face revealed a hint of indifference and arrogance as she looked down at the many eighth-tier magical beasts listening below. A faint sense of control arose in her heart.

"To enter, you must submit to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and half of the treasures obtained within the ancient ruins must be handed over to our clan!"

"You may all consider this carefully before our elders arrive!"

After the proud Heavenly Phoenix finished speaking, it ignored the expressions of the many overlords and went straight back to the mountain peak where it had been.

"Qing'er, your actions were reckless. If you had encountered those reckless or venerable figures who harbored hatred towards the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, I wouldn't have been able to save you in time!"

Upon seeing Feng Qing'er return, Lei Zun Zhe, who was meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and offered his advice.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. However, you will soon see the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's status in the Beast Realm!"

Even when facing Lei Zunzhe, her mentor, Feng Qing'er still retained some of the pride of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix. However, when her gaze fell upon the enormous spatial rift hanging in the sky, an unnamed sense of disgust rose up once again.

"What exactly is this feeling?"

It's no wonder Feng Qing'er felt this way; the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had long since hidden themselves in the void because of the Dragon Emperor Zhukun.

This fledgling, only a few hundred years old, still retains disgust and fear in her bloodline. How could she possibly recognize a true supreme demon beast?

Of course, if the older generation of Heavenly Demon Phoenix were here, they would definitely be so terrified that they would immediately flee. How could they dare to try to subdue a group of eighth-order beast kings with the power of a Dou Zong like Feng Qing'er!

Hehehe

Just then, a strange, eerie laugh came from afar. The many demonic beasts looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black mist exuding an evil aura rapidly enveloping the area.

"Soul Palace?"

Upon hearing the eerie laughter, Venerable Lei instinctively uttered two words, then quickly opened his eyes and saw more than a dozen figures dressed in black robes standing in the sky.

"Oh, the Thunder Venerable of the Four Directions Pavilion? I wonder how powerful his soul is?"

Within the black mist, someone murmured softly, a flash of red light passing through their eyes, seemingly wanting to boost their performance, but then giving up for some unknown reason.

"Brother, are you confident you can break through this ruin?"

Within the black mist, an aged figure took a few steps forward. After observing the enormous spatial rift, he helplessly realized that with his half-saint level strength, he was not confident in opening this spatial relic.

"In the past, even I, an old man, could only wait for the ruins to open naturally!"

The person referred to as the eldest brother was naturally the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace. After looking up and examining the spatial rift, a stiff smile appeared on his face.

"However, after that Ancient Void Dragon made its move, this space has become damaged and has developed flaws."

"Even if no one intervenes, we should be able to enter within five days at most!"

"Of course, with my abilities, I can easily follow the original path and enter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace slowly raised his pale hand and fiercely slashed at the spatial rift in front of him.

"Boom!"

"The passage is open; please proceed immediately!"

When the Great Celestial Venerable made his move, everyone was already prepared. At his command, the black mist immediately rushed in at an extremely fast speed.

Upon seeing this, some fearless magical beasts immediately rushed towards the spatial rift again.

As it turns out, not being afraid of death doesn't mean you won't die!

In the eyes of the many magical beasts, the blood mist reappeared, and in an instant, it was sucked into the ruins by the enormous suction force generated by the spatial rift.

The numerous magical beasts, their eyes slightly red, could only suppress their inner desires once again, waiting for the ruins to open on their own!

Some magical beasts, after struggling for a while, flew towards the mountain range where the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was located. Judging from the situation, they obviously wanted to agree to Feng Qing'er's conditions!

The once arrogant Feng Qing'er now looked dazed, and even a hint of fear occasionally flashed in her eyes.

Even when Thunder Venerable was calling out to him, he seemed not to hear, appearing dazed and confused.

"The Ancient Void Dragon, the destined enemy of the Ancient Celestial Phoenix. No wonder I felt so extremely frustrated just now!"

"No, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die!"

Lei Zun Zhe, who was waiting for Feng Qing'er's response, was startled by her sudden standing up. Before he could ask, he saw Feng Qing'er talking to herself.

"Now that the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has emerged, and this time it's even been led by a Dou Sheng level expert, we must inform the clan as soon as possible to prevent an attack!"

Thinking of this, Feng Qing'er quickly used the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Secret Technique to send the news that the Dou Sheng's relics had appeared in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan back to the clan.

"If the elders and clan leader were to see this message in time, with the clan leader's wisdom, perhaps they could guess the Ancient Dragon's purpose!"

"Without the support of a Dou Sheng, even if my master is willing to do everything in his power to help, we won't escape unscathed from that group!"

Feng Qing'er clearly saw that behind that Dou Sheng just now stood Lin Feng, the champion of the Pill Tower Competition, an eighth-grade nine-color alchemist!

"A person who can withstand even the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning is not someone the Wind and Thunder Pavilion can challenge. If it were only the Starfall Pavilion, then our Wind and Thunder Pavilion might be able to put up a fight!"

After telling Lei Zun Zhe his thoughts, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Fenglei Pavilion is one of the four pavilions in Zhongzhou, ranking above the so-called One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions, and seems so majestic.

In reality, only he knew that even the Four Directions Pavilion had no choice but to obediently submit to some truly powerful figures.

If it weren't for the support he received from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan over the years, he wouldn't have the prestige he has today.

At this moment, they actually encountered the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, which even the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had to treat with utmost seriousness. The mere Fenglei Pavilion could only await orders and instructions.

As time went by, more and more powerful monster warriors couldn't contain their curiosity and came to this place, where they saw the spatial rift hanging in the sky.

These overlords learned of Feng Qing'er's previous remarks from the kings they had a good relationship with, and each of them showed a thoughtful expression.

With a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) as an example, they naturally knew that without a strong person of equal level on their side, they wouldn't be able to get a single benefit from the ruins.

However, if one follows the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, who can guarantee one's safety?

Don't be fooled by Feng Qing'er's sweet talk; she's just a fledgling bird!

Judging from the fact that it was with humans and there were no powerful figures following it, it was clear that its Heavenly Phoenix bloodline was not pure enough.

If it were a Heavenly Demon Phoenix of noble blood, it would not go out alone at the seventh rank, and it would not even be allowed to enter or leave the territory of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

Only after the true powerhouses of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan arrive can we decide whether to bring them in.

After learning the whole story, some eighth-tier magical beasts left without hesitation, believing that they would not gain any benefit from the ruins and were even in great danger of losing their lives.

Some gamblers, their eyes occasionally flashing with longing, hoped to find an opportunity to advance further, or even reach the Saint level, within these ruins of the Battle Saint.

Of course, these beast kings who were able to reach the eighth rank were not stupid. The weight of Feng Qing'er was not enough for them to lower their status, even though she came from the current supreme being of the Beast Domain—the Heavenly Demon Phoenix!

As the saying goes, in the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are respected!

Feng Qing'er, who hasn't even reached the eighth rank, is not qualified to sit on equal footing with the many monster kings!

Furthermore, the demon beast race is inherently violent, so what if the Heavenly Demon Phoenix race is powerful?

There are many eighth-tier magical beasts that can be killed at any time, and then hidden on the continent. Who can find them?

Of course, no one wants to be a fugitive unless absolutely necessary!

At the same time, a colorful light also traveled a long distance and, in a strange way, reached the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

A noble and dignified middle-aged man slowly raised his head, looked towards a corner of the beast realm, and murmured.

"Ancient Void Dragon?" (End of Chapter)
