Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"Void, the Soul Palace was destroyed by the Dragon Clan. You are still just one step away from the Soul Emperor Realm!"

At the summit of the highest mountain in the Soul Realm, the Soul Emperor stood with his hands behind his back. Ever since he killed Xiao Xuan, this was his favorite place to stay.

Looking down at the vast mountains and rivers of the Soul Realm, he felt an invincible loneliness. He, the Soul Emperor, was born to experience this loneliness, just like his name, which carries the word "Emperor"!

Soul Emperor was born with the potential to become a Battle Emperor!

"Taking advantage of the Bodhi Tree's emergence, we must devour the Spirit Race! This is the only way to advance to the Emperor Realm!"

What appears here at this moment in the form of Void Devouring Flame is not its physical body, but its soul itself.

Once one's soul power reaches the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, creating a soul clone is extremely simple.

"Aside from the four elders who still need rest, you can command the four Demon Saints at will. Once your soul advances to the Emperor Realm, we will begin the final planning!"

The Soul Emperor looked down at the battle raging in the endless mountains of the Soul Realm, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"I have a bad feeling about this!"

In the Stone Realm, above the endless, desolate mountains, several figures secretly gathered.

"Will the Soul Clan really seize this opportunity to make their move?"

"With the emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the younger generation of all the imperial clans are seniors. As a matter of course, our attention should naturally follow closely behind."

"Such a good opportunity, if the Soul Emperor still wants to make a move, he certainly won't let it slip by!"

"That makes sense!"

"Gentlemen, the plan is to kill Void Devouring Flame or the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan. Please do not linger in battle!"

"Can!"

After an unknown amount of time, the figure above the Wilderness Mountains silently disappeared, leaving only the master of this place—the Stone Clan Chief, Shi Yan!

"Soul Emperor, Void Devouring Flame, if you want to devour my race, then come at me!"

The Desolate Ancient Domain, the oldest region on the Dou Qi Continent, is full of opportunities, but also full of dangers.

Many ancient races that have become extinct in the outside world, and terrifying ancient beasts, may still exist only in this place.

As news spread that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was about to be born here, countless powerful figures arrived. Upon seeing the colossal tree that blotted out the sky, those hidden behind the scenes could no longer contain their excitement and secretly came to this place.

In the desolate town, Lin Feng led Cai Lin and the others through the ancient town. Upon arrival, they killed several groups of desperate criminals.

However, it was the beauty of Cai Lin and the others that attracted those old friends who had been living in seclusion for many years. They were blind and didn't need Lin Feng to make a move. The strength of the girls, who had reached the peak of the Dou Zun realm, was enough to sweep the entire scene.

After several attacks, many reclusive old monsters realized that these people were not to be trifled with, and they also learned Lin Feng's true identity from others.

For the next two days, no one dared to approach the territory where the group was located until the arrival of Danta and his companions.

"Elder Xuan, we never expected that you would come in person this time!"

Looking at the team belonging to the Pill Tower, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. After all, Xuan Kongzi was a giant of the Pill Tower, and it was somewhat unexpected that he would risk coming here.

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, if you don't take this risk now, in a few years, you might not even be able to see your back anymore!"

Xuan Kongzi stroked his beard and smiled. Beside him were the two giants, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi, as well as several old monsters from the Lesser Pill Tower.

What puzzled Lin Feng was that Hou Laoguai was not in the group. He should have been involved in such a lively event.

"That old monster Hou has recently been researching a new elixir and has been in seclusion for half a year."

Seemingly noticing Lin Feng's confusion, Xuan Kongzi spoke up.

"I never expected that Old Monster Hou would be in seclusion when this ancient Bodhi tree appeared. He'll be so annoyed when he comes out, hahaha!"

Yao Chen's voice came from afar. Without the threat of the Soul Palace, he naturally wanted to come in person to see just how magical this legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree was!

"Hey old buddy, you're here too!"

Just as Xuan Kongzi gave his greeting, the Flower Sect's team appeared on the other side, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately became somewhat subtle.

Xuan Yi and a certain elder of the Flower Sect exchanged a glance, then subtly looked away, causing Yao Chen to breathe a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

"Gentlemen, this desolate ancient domain is fraught with danger. Let us proceed together!"

"Alright!"

Faced with Xuan Kongzi's suggestion, the group agreed without hesitation, and Lin Feng also had no objections.

Now that the various forces have formed an alliance, they should naturally advance and retreat together in this dangerous territory.

The following day, countless figures burst forth from the desolate ancient domain, disappearing into the ancient trees ahead in the blink of an eye.

Lin Feng and the others did not rush to set off. Even though their group had two half-saint level experts escorting them, they still had to remain vigilant in front of the oldest territory on the Dou Qi Continent.

Half an hour later, only a few scattered individuals remained of the thousands of experts above the Dou Zong and Dou Zun levels. Lin Feng and the others no longer hesitated and sped towards the ancient forest that was a hundred feet tall.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

Galloping through the most primitive and ancient forests on this Dou Qi Continent, each ancient tree may have existed for thousands of years and is hundreds of feet tall.

Even a Dou Zun-level magical beast revealing its true form would no longer appear majestic in front of such a tall ancient tree!

"Pause!"

Just as everyone was rushing around, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly spoke, a hint of solemnity flashing across her serene face.

"The air in these ancient mountains is teeming with poisonous insects. If you inhale too much, reaching a certain quantity, they will explode and become nutrients for this primeval forest!"

Numerous streams of light shot out from Little Fairy Doctor's hands, while Netherworld Poison Fire rose from her body, devouring tiny poisonous insects in the world with a terrifying devouring power.

"This is a poison-avoidance pill I refined using Netherworld Poison Fire. After taking it, it will provide protection!"

Upon seeing Little Fairy Doctor's Netherworld Poison Fire again, Xiao Yan was somewhat shocked to discover that the energy of this Netherworld Poison Fire was actually comparable to that of a peak Dou Zun in the Transcendent Realm.

You should know that he desperately took drugs—no, he cultivated—and in the ten months or so after leaving the Heavenly Tomb, he only advanced from the peak of the second-level Dou Zun realm to the fourth-level Dou Zun realm!

"Seriously, people are no match for fire!"

After taking the antidote pills given by Little Fairy Doctor, everyone indeed felt a little more relaxed, both physically and mentally.

As they sped along, they indeed saw numerous corpses of Dou Zong and even low-star Dou Zun, lying in a terrifying manner beneath the tall ancient tree.

With its outstretched hands and ferocious eyes, it seemed as if it was still struggling desperately before death.

The group of people took a few more glances at it.

Those who fall here are considered lucky to die here. If they were to venture deeper into the forest and encounter those ancient, savage beasts, they would likely face an even more terrifying death.

However, Little Fairy Doctor, standing among the crowd, never stopped smiling, and the flames rising around her grew even more intense.

This place was simply her paradise. If she didn't have to act with Lin Feng, she even felt that she could directly advance to the semi-saint realm after devouring all the poisonous insects!

With the Little Fairy Doctor's antidote pill, the group no longer suppressed their speed and headed towards the depths of the forest. Only by crossing this ancient primeval forest could they reach the true desolate ancient domain!

After emerging from the primeval forest shrouded in poisonous insects and miasma, a winding, endless mountain range came into view, each section seemingly hundreds or even thousands of feet high.

"The journey ahead will likely be even more dangerous. You all need to be careful and stay within our sight!"

Yao Chen spoke solemnly, his Heavenly Realm-level soul perception telling him that there were countless powerful auras ahead.

In some regions, even he could be in danger of perishing if he made a single mistake!

Lin Feng took out a somewhat shriveled Bodhi seed from his palm and carefully sensed it. The people around him were surprised to see that Lin Feng actually possessed the legendary Bodhi seed.

"That kid Lin Feng always manages to snag the best benefits. Xiao Yanzi, you must keep a close eye on him!"

"If we follow him, maybe we can get some Bodhi seeds too!"

Xiao Yan nodded to himself. From the Jia Ma Empire to the Central Continent, and even when facing Xiao Xuan's ancestor, Senior Brother Lin Feng was always able to gain benefits.

The Bodhi seed in Lin Feng's hand, a Bodhi tree that appears only once every ten thousand years, is proof that he had clearly done his homework!

At this moment, he must keep up with the pace, because he is eager to improve!

"Master Yao, I'll go first. You watch the rear. We'll fly straight ahead!"

After putting away the Bodhi seeds, Lin Feng gazed into the depths of the endless mountains, having already sensed the general direction of the ancient Bodhi tree.

"Alright!"

Xuan Kongzi hesitated. The Desolate Ancient Domain was fraught with danger, and such a reckless action would be far too risky.

"Elder Xuan, with two high-level demigods keeping a close watch, there shouldn't be any major danger!"

"We arrived too late. Many powerful figures have already entered the deepest part. If we arrive any later, we might not even get a drop of soup!"

Lin Feng released a slight aura, causing Xuan Kongzi's worried expression to completely dissipate. Danger in the Desolate Ancient Domain? What? Two high-level half-saints? Then it's alright, just charge!

"Boom boom boom"

The group charged recklessly, and when they encountered any daring attackers, except for the serpentine demon beast which was controlled by Qinglin and swallowed into the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil space, all of them were sucked into blood mist by a single stream of battle qi from Lin Feng in front of them.

This scene utterly astonished the jaws of the many powerful figures in this ancient mountain range!

"Please, boss, this is the Desolate Ancient Domain! Can't you be a little more careful?"

No wonder many powerful figures complained; Lin Feng and his group's killing spree seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest. The ferocious beasts of the Endless Mountains were not very intelligent to begin with.

Under the increasingly intense influence of the bloody aura, it seemed to become even more violent, forcing countless powerful passersby into battle.

"It's a pity that only Xiao Tianzun remains of the Soul Palace now; otherwise, this place would be a treasure trove for them!"

Lin Feng swept his soul power over the scene and immediately understood the cause and effect. Therefore, when he passed by, he took action to rescue those powerful individuals who had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

They ignored their thanks, and if they did not return the way they came, most of these rescued experts would perish in this desolate ancient domain.

"interesting!"

After traveling for about half an hour, Lin Feng had killed countless ancient ferocious beasts, and had even become somewhat numb, with a few bloodshot veins appearing in his eyes.

"Lin Feng, what's the situation up ahead?"

Upon seeing Lin Feng suddenly stop, Xuan Kongzi and the others became wary. As a high-level half-saint, the fact that Lin Feng could make them stop meant that the place ahead must be extremely dangerous.

"They're from the Heavenly Nether Sect, and it seems they've even colluded with the powerful figures from Ice River Valley!"

As he spoke, Lin Feng became noticeably less certain, because two of the powerful figures from the Ice River Valley possessed auras that had reached the level of advanced semi-saints.

"Elder Xuan, what do you know about Ice River Valley?"

Lin Feng projected the information he perceived into the soul seas of everyone, a small technique he inherited from the Great Sage Guiyuan.

"This is?"

Xuan Kongzi sensed several figures in his mind and hesitated, as if he was unsure.

"They are the previous generation's Glacier Valley Master and the contemporary Supreme Elder!"

Suddenly, Tian Leizi spoke up. This giant, who had been silent ever since entering the Desolate Ancient Domain, had read all the books in the Pill Tower back then so as not to fall behind the two of them.

"Several hundred years ago, two prodigies emerged simultaneously in the Ice River Valley, and both reached the semi-saint realm at an extremely rapid pace!"

"Unfortunately, the barrier between a Half-Saint and a Battle Saint is far too strong. After decades of stagnation, they went to the far north of the Dou Qi Continent to seek out exotic ice comparable to a strange fire!"

"Judging from their appearance, they must have failed!"

As Lin Feng listened to Tian Leizi's introduction, he rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"That guy Binghe had a conflict with me because of Xian'er. Binghe was killed in the Soul Palace, although no one knows it."

"However, such powerful individuals will act decisively if they have even the slightest doubt."

"Even if they're no match for me, with two high-level half-saints lurking in the shadows, harboring ill intentions, I can't sleep peacefully!"

In an instant, Lin Feng made a decision to kill the people of Ice River Valley within this desolate ancient domain!

"Azure Scales."

"Gentlemen, since there are people from the Ice Valley ahead, let's take another route to save time!"

Then, Lin Feng used the excuse of taking a break to switch places with Yao Lao, and Qing Lin and the others followed Lin Feng to the back.

"That's fine then!"

Lin Feng's appearance just now naturally did not escape the notice of these old guys, but since Lin Feng did not say it explicitly, they did not ask any further questions.

With Yao Lao leading the way, the group continued their rapid journey into the depths of the Endless Mountains, while Lin Feng and Cai Lin fell behind.

Before leaving, a bright green flower pattern flashed in Qinglin's eyes, and two figures disappeared in a flash, heading away in a certain direction in the blink of an eye.

Before long, several cruel screams came from behind. The group paused briefly, then continued running forward.

"Brother Lin Feng, it's solved!"

Qinglin leaned against Lin Feng's chest, shook the several storage rings in her hand, and smiled smugly.
