Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Standing atop the canopy of the ancient Bodhi tree, thousands of feet high, overlooking the vast mountains and rivers, a sense of dominance over heaven and earth welled up within me, a desire to question the endless and boundless Dou Qi Continent: who truly reigns supreme?

However, a single sentence from the Bodhi Tree shattered Lin Feng's illusions.

"You're saying you're storing source energy?"

Lin Feng stared blankly at the ancient Bodhi tree beside him, which was proudly shaking its countless leaves.

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

The most important high-level energy for becoming an emperor—Source Qi!

For tens of thousands of years, with the exception of Emperor Tuoshegu, countless heroes and those of unparalleled talent have fallen on this path.

Xiao Xuan, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, and the Imperial Emperor.

Throughout history, countless geniuses who reached the Half-Emperor realm, no matter how brilliant they were, all fell victim to the lack of Origin Qi.

Even if the Emperor Yutian was so mad that he turned himself into a puppet, so what? In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Dou Qi Continent, his name has not been passed down.

Perhaps, if that source energy still existed, even an existence like Gu Yuan might have already become an emperor.

"Ha ha ha ha."

A hearty laugh echoed from the top of the ancient Bodhi tree, thousands of feet high, resounding through the endless mountains and startling the ferocious beasts still hidden among them.

However, after sensing the overwhelming aura of the Bodhi Tree that suppressed heaven and earth, it still chose to remain hidden.

After a long while, Lin Feng stopped laughing and stood high in the sky. He felt that he had never felt so refreshed since he crossed the Dou Qi Continent!

"Now that we have source energy, we must do our best to delay the opening of the ancient emperor's cave!"

Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, exuding confidence.

"The Void Devouring Flame has been severely damaged. Even if the Soul Clan pays a tremendous price, or even allows its entire race to be devoured,"

"No, no, no, before they are truly in dire straits, the Soul Emperor and the elders of the Soul Clan will not go to this point."

"That means you have at least ten years to dedicate yourself fully to cultivation!"

"And that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade... it seems it's time to discuss with Junior Brother Xiao Yan about returning his Ancient Emperor Jade to me for safekeeping!"

After thinking it over, Lin Feng shook his head again.

"No, no, Xiao Zhan is still in the hands of the Soul Clan. Given Junior Brother Xiao Yan's personality, he will definitely use this Ancient Emperor Jade to make an exchange."

"If I don't pay it then, wouldn't that make an enemy of him?"

"Although he doesn't have much use to me now, after so many years of business dealings, there's still some affection between us when I call him 'senior brother'."

"Moreover, Xiao Yan is a decent person, easy to get along with, and in the future, in the vast world, we can count on him to watch over and help us."

"We can't just let the Soul Clan kill him, can we?"

It can be said that Xiao Yan is one of his closest and dearest friends and family!

If you want to touch him, you have to pay more!

"What about the Imperial Jade of the Stone Clan, or the Medicine Clan?"

Lin Feng crossed his arms, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at the earth below, pondering a series of schemes—no, plans.

After a long while, he still couldn't come up with a good solution and could only react to each move as it came.

These arrogant imperial clans won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Lin Feng's most powerful force now consists of the Dragon Clan's Zhu Gong and others.

As for the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he still did not intend to reveal it until he had the strength to fight the Soul Emperor.

Otherwise, let alone the Soul Emperor, even Gu Yuan might harbor covetous thoughts.

"Brother Bodhi, let's go, I'll take you to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void!"

"Splash, splash, splash."

While refining Bodhi seeds for the Bodhi Ancient Tree and expelling the evil energy from the outer world, Lin Feng also constantly tempted the Bodhi Ancient Tree—no, he spoke of the beauty of the outside world and the loneliness deep within the earth.

In addition, Lin Feng's physique is also compatible, which may be why the Bodhi Ancient Tree was attracted by Lin Feng.

"Boom!"

After expelling the black energy, the Bodhi Ancient Tree grew thousands of feet taller in just one year. Clearly, the energy it had accumulated over countless years was terrifyingly powerful.

Perhaps, given time, he can recover to the state he was in, comparable to a Dou Di.

Of course, it may not be a Dou Di (Battle Emperor). There is no record in the history of the Dou Qi Continent of an endless, enormous phantom tree projected onto the Dou Qi Continent.

"Buzz"

The phrase "mountain collapse and earth splitting" is insufficient to describe the ferocious beasts that remained hidden in the endless mountains, completely panicking.

Even the few terrifying beast ancestors who had reached the Dou Sheng realm were completely panicked.

After entering the Dou Sheng realm, their intelligence is comparable to that of a normal ninth-order magical beast. However, after the development of the Dou Qi Continent by humans and magical beasts, only the Desolate Ancient Domain remains ancient.

Under such circumstances, they would choose to live in seclusion.

They knew better than anyone the terror of the Bodhi Tree, and at that moment, they all tore through the void and fled towards an unknown location.

After a while, with Lin Feng's soul perception at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, there was no longer any trace of life in the Desolate Ancient Domain.

"Buzz"

The enormous Bodhi tree transformed into a beam of azure light, shooting into Lin Feng's soul sea, instantly pushing the Dragon Emperor's essence blood, which was at the very center, to the edge.

"roar"

The old Dragon Emperor's essence blood transformed into a miniature ancient dragon of the void, which let out a soft roar. Lin Feng could hear the emotion of grievance in its roar.

"It's time to find a time to thoroughly absorb the old Dragon Emperor's essence blood!"

After carefully sensing the energy contained in the Dragon Emperor's blood essence, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"It seems there's hope of reaching the Three-Star Dou Sheng realm through this!"

The energy required for Lin Feng's advancement was simply too immense. His mid-level Heavenly Rank skills were considered above average among Dou Sheng.

However, the energy his physique can absorb is far greater than that of others of the same level.

Lin Feng, a two-star Dou Sheng, is even comparable to a three-star Dou Sheng of the same level!

In terms of combat power, it is even more formidable. If one adds the soul of a Great Perfection of the Heavenly Rank and unleashes the soul attack of the Great Sage of Returning to Origin.

It can be said that even a five-star Dou Sheng would perish on the spot if Lin Feng were to launch a sneak attack on him. The entire Dou Qi Continent would be in mourning.

"Let's go back to Dragon Island first. Judging by the time, Zi Yan should have taken the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit by now."

"With thorough preparations this time, and the addition of two Grade 9 precious pills refined by the Ancestor, I'm afraid that Zi Yan will exceed my expectations after she emerges from seclusion."

"The Supreme Demonic Beast, the Dragon Phoenix?"

"I'm actually looking forward to it!"

With a wave of his hand, a spatial passage leading directly to Dragon Island appeared, following the spatial coordinates in the dark.

With each step taken out, the pitch-black passage closed up.

Sensing that the aura of the Bodhi Ancient Tree had completely disappeared, the ancestor of ferocious beasts, which had been hiding in the void, quietly returned to the endless mountains of the desolate ancient domain.

However, they dared not reveal even a trace of their presence; clearly, they were terrified!

"Buzz"

In the endless void of the Dou Qi Continent, the Dragon Island, which floated erratically, suddenly experienced a spatial fluctuation.

Deep within Dragon Island, Zhu Gong and the others, who were discussing matters, suddenly raised their heads and stared at a certain spot on Dragon Island.

"This aura? A two-star Dou Sheng, not bad!"

With a burst of hearty laughter, Zhugong and the others rushed out of the main hall and flew towards the area from which the spatial fluctuations had originated.

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, congratulations on entering the Dou Qi Continent and joining the ranks of true powerhouses!"

Zhu Gong smiled broadly. At this moment, he no longer addressed Lin Feng as "Prince Consort," clearly placing Lin Feng on an equal footing.

Previously, the reason Lin Feng took it seriously was because he had found the Dragon Emperor, which was a great favor from the Dragon Clan.

Secondly, it's because of Zi Yan, the only princess of the Dragon Clan, Your Highness.

Thirdly, it was because of Lin Feng's potential. Given Lin Feng's situation at the time, he was destined to become a low-star Dou Sheng in the future. At the same time, what Zhu Gong really valued was his potential to become a ninth-grade alchemist.

Although the effect of the Grade Nine Precious Pill on him was negligible.

However, if many dragon cubs can receive full-fledged training from a ninth-grade treasure pill master during the Foundation Establishment stage, the next generation of dragons will surely surpass the past.

This is why the Candle Bow has always been helpful to Lin Feng. Otherwise, given the arrogance of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Eight-Star Dou Sheng, it would be impossible for him to succeed.

Even if Lin Feng were Zi Yan's future husband, Zhu Gong wouldn't give him a second glance!

"Haha, thank you for the praise, Senior Candlebow, it was just a fluke!"

Lin Feng waved his hand slightly, and only after saying this did he belatedly realize that he had unintentionally learned Xiao Yan's rankless fighting skill—it was just a fluke!

"Hahaha, there is no such thing as luck in the Battle Saint realm. Taking the many imperial clans of the human race as an example, apart from those with divine bloodlines, they all have to stay at the threshold of Battle Saint for a long time."

"Even more so, they may never be allowed to enter!"

The Candlebowman stroked his pale beard; he was already used to Lin Feng's modesty.

"Furthermore, your cultivation level is quite impressive; I wonder what favor the Bodhi Tree has bestowed upon you. Your foundation is incredibly solid!"

"Even His Majesty the Dragon Emperor back then, at the same level, was far inferior to you!"

According to the legend of the Bodhi Tree, even if it only appears once every ten thousand years, given Zhugong's age, he had seen it once or twice.

"Yes, I'm afraid I'm no longer your match!"

Among the many old dragons, the seemingly insignificant Elder Qingshan was filled with emotion at this moment.

His aura seemed to have been inadvertently leaked for a moment, leaving Lin Feng astonished.

"Elder Qingshan, you seem to be a three-star Dou Sheng?"

"Hahaha"

Seeing the emotion appear on Lin Feng's usually calm face, Elder Qingshan finally stroked his beard and laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.

"That's right, it's just a mere three-star Dou Sheng!"

"After Third Brother returned, he brought me a great opportunity. All the accumulation over the years erupted overnight, and I instantly rose to the level of a three-star Dou Sheng!"

"How about it? Would you like to spar with this old man?"

A hint of fighting spirit appeared on Elder Qingshan's face; he seemed eager to try.

Throughout the long history of the dragon race, apart from a few eccentric dragons, none of them disliked fighting; this is a tradition engraved deep within their souls and bloodlines.

However, on Dragon Island today, Zhu Gong and others are too powerful. Without the presence of a three-star Dou Sheng, it is difficult for others to truly make a move. Now that Lin Feng has returned, he actually feels a sense of threat, and he is already somewhat unable to restrain himself.

"It's rare for the Grand Elder to be in such a refined mood; how could I, a junior, refuse to accompany him?"

Throughout his countless reincarnations, Lin Feng has experienced numerous battles, but those battles still feel somewhat illusory.

At this moment, he also wanted to see what level he had reached without using his Heavenly Realm Perfection soul.

"Hahaha, how can a battle of Dou Sheng be without an audience? You all go into the void first, I'll go gather the dragon cubs!"

Zhu Yan laughed loudly and left first.

"There just happens to be a dilapidated little world ahead. In that case, let's make that our battlefield!"

With his eyes closed and mind focused, Zhu Gong, under the powerful spatial perception, immediately sensed the dilapidated small world 30,000 miles directly in front of Dragon Island.

"I'll take my leave first!"

After transmitting the coordinates to everyone, Zhugong suddenly transformed into a massive ancient dragon and began to roam the void.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ying and the others also competed to reveal the true form of the ancient dragon. Their powerful figures were extremely similar to the dragon totem of Lin Feng's previous life.

Seeing this, Lin Feng understood somewhat.

"The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void truly are the darlings of space; they certainly have a great passion for traversing the Void!"

"The Azure Dragon, the Sacred Beast of the Eastern Wood!"

After laughing loudly, Lin Feng clapped his hands together, and a gigantic Azure Dragon Sacred Beast, thousands of feet long, appeared in the sky. He then leaped onto it with a powerful kick.

"Hahaha, seniors, take a look at my divine dragon!"

"roar"

The endless, winding azure dragon roared to the sky, its roar shaking Dragon Island. Under Lin Feng's precise control, however, it avoided many dragons.

After entering the Dou Sheng realm, the Five Elements Sacred Beasts also seemed to undergo a strange change, as if they were transforming into real living beings, lifelike and full of spirit!

"Set off!"

Several ancient dragons ahead turned around and saw the powerful Azure Dragon of the Wood element. They burst into laughter and roared in unison.

Shortly after the group left, tens of thousands of dragons of the seventh rank or above on Dragon Island transformed into their true forms, and thousands of dragons soared into the sky, creating an unprecedented spectacle since the island's split.

Unfortunately, it lies deep within the space, and no one has the chance to see it!

"Elder Qingshan, witness my move, the Five Emperors' Great Handprint!"

In the shattered little world, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of dragons, a man and a dragon stood atop two mountain peaks thousands of feet high.

Lin Feng shouted and suddenly grabbed forward with his right hand.

Between heaven and earth, the energy of the five elements seemed to receive a call, allowing Lin Feng to control it, forming a gigantic five-colored hand that was thousands of feet long.

Countless five-colored rays of light surrounded Lin Feng, making him seem like the master of the five elements!

"Hahaha, that's an amazing move!"

Elder Qingshan's expression was very solemn, yet also full of joy. How long had it been since he had fought since Dragon Island split apart?

Fearing that the three Dragon Kings would see through the true nature of Donglong Island, a single wrong decision could lead to the destruction of Donglong Island, which firmly believed in the legitimacy of the Dragon Clan.

Today, Qingshan is determined to use every means at his disposal!

"The true form of the ancient dragon roams the vast void!"

"roar"

The colossal true form of the Ancient Void Dragon reappeared, and with Elder Qingshan's three-star Dou Sheng realm, it seemed to have reached a height of three thousand zhang.

As it roared to the sky, the broken little world trembled slightly. If it weren't for Zhugong and the others taking action to stabilize the space, it would have been difficult to recover.

During their previous probing attempts, this small world had already been destroyed by the two of them!

"Boom!"

The moment the thousand-foot-tall Five Emperors' Great Handprint collided with the three-thousand-foot-tall Ancient Dragon, an extremely terrifying energy erupted instantly, forcing the Candle Bow to reinforce the space once again.

Even so, the thousand-foot-high mountain beneath them was completely shattered in an instant.

Many massive rocks were shattered by the energy of the explosion.

Even more fragments rained down rapidly towards every corner of the small world.

If no precautions are taken, the aftershocks of the clash between these Dou Sheng experts would kill even a powerful high-level Half-Saint like Yao Chen!

"Hahaha, Elder Qingshan, your move is not bad either."

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, Lin Feng's loud laughter rang out again, and a huge shadow appeared in the dust.

"Elder, try my move again, the True Form of the Five Elements Sacred Beasts!"

"The Azure Dragon, the Sacred Beast of the Eastern Wood, has appeared!"
