Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Nearly half a year has passed inside the Heavenly Tomb, while only a month has passed in the outside world. This is the power of a Dou Di artifact.

For over a month, nothing changed on the Dou Qi Continent outside the Heavenly Tomb. It seemed to remain the same as always, with the imperial clans looking down on the world and the law of the jungle still prevailing.

However, those who pay attention will notice that the Soul Clan within the Imperial Clan has been unusually quiet lately, almost abnormally so.

Gu Yuan and the others, who received the reminder from the Candle Bow, were the ones who were observant. Although they did not connect it to the secret of the Soul Clan's enduring bloodline, they discovered something from the Spirit Clan's unusual situation.

Secretly, the second strongest member of the Ancient Clan, the Black Annihilation King, who was at the early stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm, had already gone to the Spirit Clan to investigate, while Gu Yuan also began to secretly observe the movements of the Soul Clan from time to time using the Ancient Emperor Mirror.

"What!?"

In the ancient clan's main hall, many of the Soul Clan's Dou Sheng powerhouses were present, including the Dou Sheng who guarded the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

The faces of the many white-haired elderly men were filled with shock, and even a hint of fear was faintly visible.

"Elders, there's no need to worry too much. We have now discovered the Soul Clan's plan, and I will personally monitor it with the Ancient Emperor Mirror. The Soul Clan's methods are essentially ineffective!"

Gu Yuan, however, was not too worried. In his view, although the Soul Clan relied on the bloodline talent of the last Devouring Spirit King to keep the Soul Clan's bloodline strong.

However, in terms of high-end combat power, the ancient race still maintains an advantage, although this advantage has been greatly narrowed after the Void Devouring Flame recovered.

Fortunately, with the addition of the Dragon Clan and an eight-star Dou Sheng, the Ancient Clan was still able to suppress the Soul Clan.

"Chieftain, in my opinion, we should unite with the other clans to weaken the Soul Clan!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the main hall. It was Hei Yanwang, the second strongest expert of the ancient clan who had gone to investigate, and an early-stage eight-star Dou Sheng.

"Yes, the Soul Clan is despicable. As fellow imperial clans, they have resorted to such wickedness. If we do not stop them, after we are gone, those who come after us may not be able to withstand their attacks!"

An old man spoke, stroking his flowing white beard and hair. He had an ethereal and otherworldly appearance and was one of the famous Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan.

"Elder Xian is right. If there is one, there will be two. As an ancient imperial clan, the Soul Clan's bloodline has been passed down to this day. Countless imperial clans have perished because of this. We must unite with all the other clans to defeat the Soul Clan!"

Inside the main hall, a middle-aged man spoke, his tone extremely domineering. He was a powerful figure from the ancient clan who had just been promoted to the Dou Sheng realm.

"At the very least, we must kill the Void Devouring Flame. The Devouring Spirit Clan's methods are inhuman; perhaps only a rare and wondrous creature like the Void Devouring Flame could manifest such abilities."

"That's absolutely right!"

"."

Inside the main hall, voices of agreement rose and fell. Even the Imperial Jade Guardian Elder, who rarely spoke or even participated in ancestral councils, was filled with righteous indignation.

After a long while, once everyone had calmed down, Gu Yuan made up his mind.

"Gentlemen, the Soul Clan's actions are something our Ancient Clan cannot stand idly by. Elder of the South Sea, you should personally go and invite the patriarchs of the various imperial clans to the Ancient Clan to discuss an alliance to attack the Soul Clan!"

"In addition, in order to prevent the Soul Clan from taking action against the Stone Clan and Medicine Clan, which are the weaker of the major imperial clans, during this period, I would like to trouble the two immortal elders to personally go to the Stone Clan and Medicine Clan to oversee the situation."

"Furthermore, given the tragic fate of the Spirit Race, they will surely agree to open a spatial passage connecting the Ancient Realm, the Stone Realm, and the Medicine Realm."

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Gu Yuan was indeed a powerful cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation on the continent. Although thousands of years ago, due to some unspoken reasons, he had not intervened to save Xiao Xuan.

However, at this moment, with the crisis of annihilation looming, he immediately displayed the methods of the patriarch of the imperial clan, which can only be described as ruthless!

"Alas, it's all my fault for making the wrong judgment back then. I didn't act decisively to defeat the Soul Clan, which has led to this predicament!"

Gu Yuan slowly stood up, a hint of regret on his face.

"Clan leader, why bother saying that? This was a decision we made together back then. Moreover, after the Soul Clan attacked and killed Xiao Xuan, they immediately announced the closure of the Soul Realm. If we were determined to exterminate the Soul Clan, the other imperial clans would surely not stand idly by!"

The Black Annihilation King, clad in black scale armor, carried a hint of murderous intent on his face, seemingly due to his years of experience in the military.

"Moreover, this is also a golden opportunity to annihilate the Soul Clan. With the crisis of extermination looming, the top experts of our clan, the Dragon Clan, the Thunder Clan, and the Flame Clan will join forces. I don't believe the Soul Clan will have any chance of survival!"

As for the Medicine Clan and the Stone Clan, they were not taken seriously by the Black Annihilation King at all.

The two strongest individuals were merely seven-star Dou Sheng. If it weren't for the methods left behind by the Dou Di, he could have easily defeated both clans even by himself!

"Alright, let's get started and begin the meeting as soon as possible!"

After the meeting ended and the elders dispersed, the news was not spread within the ancient realm.

After all, the ancient world is vast, with tens of millions or even more ethnic groups, and there may be spies from the Soul Clan hiding among them.

Before the alliance is established, this matter must remain a secret. Even after its establishment, it must still be kept hidden, so that it can deliver a fatal blow to the Soul Clan at a crucial moment!

What Gu Yuan and the others didn't know was that the Soul Clan did indeed have spies within the Ancient Clan. In fact, the strongest one of them had, after countless three-year periods, risen to the rank of Dou Sheng.

He was even given the task of guarding the Imperial Jade because of his deliberately feigned calm and resolute personality.

At this moment, he returned to the guardian altar, his face, which was originally expressionless, was now filled with gloom.

"Those damned ancient clans! How did they somehow learn of our clan's plans!"

The chilling tone echoed deep within the altar, but unfortunately, apart from this Soul Clan Battle Saint, there was no one else there.

"However, even if you knew, so what? The power of my race is beyond your comprehension!"

The ancient sheep, or rather the soul sheep, cackled. Although he had been disguised in the ancient clan for a long time, sometimes he even thought that this was how he would live his whole life.

He was about to exhaust his thousands of years of lifespan as a Dou Sheng here, but fortunately, he finally got his chance.

"The disappearance of the Spirit Race is just the beginning. Since they have already begun to act, it means that the Clan Chief and Lord Void are ready. Lord Void has already entered that realm!"

"Even if many imperial clans join forces, so what? A powerhouse at that level is not someone that a few eight-star Dou Sheng can withstand!"

The eerie, croaking laughter didn't last long before it fell silent, seemingly unchanged over the millennia.

As the ancient races began their operation, far beyond the Dou Qi Continent, a massive dragon island firmly took root in the void, stabilizing the chaotic spatial currents.

"The time has come, let's set off now!"

"We must split up and, in the shortest possible time, wipe out every location on the Central Plains before the Soul Clan discovers us!"

Zhugong stood beneath the Dragon Emperor's Palace of the Dragon Clan, issuing his plan to the group. Beside him stood the trembling Soul Palace Heavenly Venerable, Moyu.

Looking at the many figures in front of her, Mo Yu's gaze gradually hardened.

"By joining the Dragon Clan, or rather, by serving under Master Lin Feng, I might have a sliver of a chance to become a Half-Saint or even a true Battle Saint!"

As for continuing to serve the Soul Palace, Mo Yu had no such intention. He was not a member of the Soul Clan. The reason he joined the Soul Palace, which was hated by everyone, was because he could use the Soul Palace to cultivate.

Now that the Dragon Clan and Lin Feng have offered him even greater benefits, he naturally has to work even harder.

And the benefit is his life, and a Bodhi Pill a hundred years later!

After perfecting his battle plan, Zhugong glanced at Moyu, whose mind was racing, but he wasn't worried at all that Moyu might use a trick.

He is not as good as a high-level Battle Saint, who could kill anyone with a single palm strike.

What's more, he's not even a Dou Zun who's at the Transcendent Realm. In his eyes, he's not even an ant!

"Lin Feng is not only talented, with the potential to grow into a mid-level Dou Sheng, but more importantly, he fills a gap in our Dragon Clan's strategic and tactical capabilities. He's truly a blessing from heaven!"

Zhu Gong sighed inwardly, and then his figure disappeared from the main hall.

Seeing this, many Battle Saints also opened spatial wormholes according to the indicators given by Mo Yu.

Zhu Gong, Zhu Ying, Zhu Yan, Qing Shan, Qing Mu, and the other Dou Sheng from the three Dragon Islands (excluding the three Dragon Kings) discussed the matter and, with Zi Yan's consent, decided to let them atone for their crimes by performing meritorious service.

Of course, this comes with a premise. Although they didn't have to go to the Dragon Slaying Platform, the fact that they had taken a move on the Dragon Slaughtering Platform caused their cultivation levels to drop significantly.

After all, he was just a second-rate Battle Saint, so Zhugong and the others didn't take him too seriously!

After everyone left, Elder Qingshan waved for Moyu to leave, and then went to Ziyan's secluded cultivation spot to wait.

"His Highness's aura is growing stronger and stronger. It's almost there, Dragon Phoenix, almost there!"

"Void, how is the situation?"

In the Soul Realm, atop a mountain thousands of feet high, the Soul Emperor, a middle-aged scholar, looked at the returning Void Devouring Flame and asked a question.

"The Eldar have truly disappointed me!"

Dressed in black, Void Devouring Flame slowly emerged from the void, but his face showed little joy.

The Soul Emperor did not respond. He stood atop the mountain, gazing at the magnificent Soul Palace, filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, and lush greenery, a scene completely different from the various races' assumptions about the Soul Clan.

However, this is only the surface. In those endless mountains, members of the Soul Clan die every moment, but at the hands of their own kind.

The Soul Clan practices a culture of raising Gu (a type of poisonous insect), and unless you have a Dou Sheng (a powerful martial arts master) standing behind you, only the strongest among your generation can be trained.

If the others are unwilling, they will have no choice but to fight in these endless mountains, killing demonic beasts, killing their own people, and finally, killing themselves!

Within these mountains, there is not a single spot that is not filled with the remains of the Soul Clan. This is the true reason for the Soul Clan's strength!

Below the mountain range, after the Soul Clan member died, his blood flowed into several coffins through some peculiar formation.

"The strongest descendant of the Spirit Emperor is only a peak six-star Dou Sheng, and that Dou Di formation is even more laughable!"

The Void Devouring Flame, dressed entirely in black, suddenly chuckled, a sound utterly incongruous with the terrifying black flames burning on its body.

"Whether it's because the Spirit Clan is too weak, or because the Spirit Emperor lived too long ago, the remnant soul he left behind has even forgotten its own identity!"

"His strongest attack was only comparable to a beginner-level eight-star weapon; it didn't even compare to that old dragon!"

Feeling the slightly boiling power within his body, he realized it was the Dou Di bloodline condensed from hundreds of millions of descendants of the Spirit Clan. With this power, he could finally attempt to break through to the Emperor Realm!

As the figure of the Void Devouring Flame disappeared, the Soul Emperor still wore a smile, but if Gu Yuan or Xiao Xuan were here, they would have noticed a hint of longing.

"Void, heh, you do know some tricks. It's a pity that the Soul Clan is ultimately the Soul Clan of my Soul Emperor."

Dressed in white, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking down over the entire Soul Realm, a surge of heroic spirit rising within him.

"Soon, very soon, we can begin the real plan."

While many top overlords were taking action, the Central Plains remained peaceful. They didn't even have the right to know about the power struggle among the top experts.

Aside from the imperial clans, only the dragon clan is placed on an equal footing with the imperial clans. The rest, such as the Xuan Dan and Shennong, can only keep their tails between their legs.

As for those forces that don't even have a Dou Sheng level, they don't even have the right to choose sides in the upcoming war between the imperial clans.

Its only function seems to be to provide a little energy for the Soul Emperor to refine the Emperor Pill under the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array!

Just like the Nine Netherworld Python clan, they are now in terrible chaos.

After the Grand Elder was captured by the Dragon Clan's powerful members, the clan's only Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level expert, Clan Chief Yao Xiaotian, also lost his life because he was involved in the battle between the Soul Palace, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Ancient Void Dragon.

Fortunately, the situation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was not much different from theirs. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix's patriarch, Huang Tian, ​​and the other three Saints, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Three Phoenixes, also did not return, most likely having been captured by the ancient clan.

Even worse, their fate was even more tragic, as the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was a favorite food of the Ancient Dragon of the Void!

That's right, Huang Tian is a ruthless guy. After failing to conquer the Ancient Dragon Clan, he decisively followed the Void Devouring Flame to the Soul Realm.

The strange thing is that, in order to stabilize his position, this guy even took the initiative to become the mount of Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame, taking turns riding him.

Even the Soul Emperor was tempted by the prospect of having a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, a late-stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, as his mount, and immediately agreed.

However, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan was ruthlessly abandoned by Huang Tian, ​​or rather, this was his means of preserving the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan's independence.

He, a solitary demon phoenix, joined the Soul Clan. Although the Heavenly Demon Phoenix of the Beast Realm would be devoured by the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, it would not be completely wiped out.

Besides the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan also has several Half-Saints. Even among those of the same level, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix is ​​a top-tier magical beast that other magical beasts find difficult to challenge!

Many years later, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix will surely give birth to a new Battle Saint, still the top overlord of the Beast Realm below the Ancient Void Dragon.

Those silly dragons, just show them respect on the surface. Their greatest hobby is still wandering the void and exploring the unknown!

Half a month later, within the Soul Realm, endless energy tides surged, and the energy of heaven and earth became extremely chaotic, accompanied by an extremely angry voice.

"Dragon race, how dare you!"
