Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is terrifying!"

Within the Demon Flame Space, all that could be seen was a milky white flame. If one ignored the intense heat that was enough to burn a Dou Sheng alive, it was quite a strange and beautiful sight.

The group walked relatively easily within the demonic fire space, since even the weakest being here possessed the strength of a high-level half-saint.

However, those rogue cultivators or powerful figures from hidden forces in the Central Plains who were in front of the Demon Flame Space were sweating profusely.

In fact, several Transcendent Realm Dou Zun have already been burned to ashes by the milky white demonic flames without even realizing it.

Even so, apart from a few who returned the way they came, most of the group still recklessly charged forward.

"That damned devil is impossible to reason with!"

Lin Feng shook his head, not wanting to meddle, and led everyone straight into the depths of the Demon Flame Space.

Although many of the older generation of the imperial clans leading the group were all five-star Dou Sheng level experts, they implicitly respected Lin Feng.

After all, with Lin Feng's talent, he will probably be able to far surpass them within a few decades.

As for Lin Feng's backer, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, it seems that, apart from the Ancient Clan, the Clan is slightly weaker than the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan in the alliance.

"The Pure Lotus Demon Flame can ignite a person's seven emotions and six desires, making it even more powerful than the Fallen Heart Flame on the Ranking of Strange Flames!"

Gu Nanhai, dressed in flowing blue robes, now wore a solemn expression, serving as a reminder to everyone.

"Things are alright for now. When facing demonic fire, it is essential to maintain a calm and focused mind!"

Everyone nodded. The Pure Lotus Demon Flame had appeared many times, and people like Gu Nanhai and Yao Wangui had come more than once. Naturally, they were experienced and had ways to deal with it.

Lin Feng, however, was somewhat absent-minded at the moment. He only left a part of his senses outside, while his mind sank into his soul sea to communicate with the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

"Brother Jinglian, when shall we make our move?"

Within Lin Feng's soul sea, several figures stood here, secretly observing all aspects of the Demon Flame Space.

"Let's see if the Soul Clan will intervene before making a decision. Also, let me see how much Little Demon has changed over the years!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint's expression was somewhat complicated. His relationship with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was somewhat like that of a father and son, since the Pure Lotus Demon Flame had followed him since it first gained sentience.

However, he had no intention of giving him another chance.

Upon first glance at this demonic fire space, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint knew that his guess was correct: the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire remained unchanged.

"Lin Feng, Xiao Yao has already learned the basics of using Nightmare Mist. You have now entered the illusion."

With a flick of his finger, a complex talisman appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

"This is a perfect opportunity to show you the Illusionary Path that I once used to dominate the world!"

"Brother Jinglian is truly extraordinary. If it weren't for the lack of Origin Qi, you would probably be a formidable figure even among Dou Di!"

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint looked at the talismans floating in the sea of ​​souls with admiration.

"Brother Huang Quan, you flatter me. Your achievements in the realm of the soul are far beyond my reach!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing the two suddenly exchanging compliments, Lin Feng sighed again. Perhaps it was a case of heroes recognizing heroes; whenever these two had an opportunity to praise each other, they would go on and on.

In this scene, Lin Feng seemed somewhat superfluous.

"Cough cough."

Left with no other choice, he coughed lightly, causing the two to quickly adopt serious expressions, stand with their hands behind their backs, and adopt the demeanor of a profound and unfathomable semi-emperor.

"This talisman for dispelling nightmares is quite simple; it only requires this much."

With the personal guidance of the creator of Nightmare Sky Mist and the constant blessing of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's enlightenment attributes, Lin Feng himself is also a four-star Dou Sheng, an existence who has experienced a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation and created his own cultivation techniques.

In no time at all, they not only mastered the Nightmare-Breaking Talisman, but also gained a general understanding of the Nightmare Sky Mist.

Although it is still far inferior to the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's personal use, in just a few short hours, it has already surpassed the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's understanding of thousands of years!

"Brother Bodhi, your ability is truly enviable!"

Within the Sea of ​​Souls, both the Yellow Spring Demon Saint and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint wore expressions of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion), causing the ancient Bodhi tree, an old rascal of countless millennia, to proudly shake its leaves.

"Now I finally understand why Brother Bodhi is so unable to take human form!"

"Oh?"

"Just like the Dou Di bloodline, the higher the bloodline level, the greater the difficulty of breaking through to the Dou Sheng threshold."

"Conversely, those of the Dou Di clan with ordinary bloodlines face difficulties in cultivation in the early stages."

"However, if one cultivates to the advanced level of a semi-saint, the chances of breaking through are much greater."

"But once you reach the Dou Sheng realm, bloodline doesn't have as much of an effect on enhancing your realm anymore!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded in agreement.

"However, these descendants of Dou Di, relying on the methods left behind by their Dou Di ancestors, are also able to break through this barrier at an extremely fast speed!"

The two fell silent for a moment, seemingly recalling a time when they competed with the imperial clan's prodigies.

"Why bother, my brothers? Once I become Emperor, you will both be resurrected!"

"What you should be considering now is the title of Empress; that is the most important matter!"

As the Bodhi aura dissipated, Lin Feng's soul slowly opened his eyes. Hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hahaha, Lin Feng is absolutely right. The title of Emperor is what we should be considering most!"

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint let out a very hearty laugh, clearly showing how much he cared about the imperial title he would receive after becoming emperor.

"Yellow Spring Demon Saint, since that's the case, after I become an emperor, I shall be honored as the Great Emperor of the Yellow Springs!"

"The Yellow Springs Emperor? That's quite impressive!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded. The Yellow Spring Demon Saint and the Yellow Spring Emperor were both top-notch and domineering titles.

"Then wouldn't I be the Pure Lotus Emperor? No, no, such a title is clearly unsuitable for my status!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint pressed his brow, somewhat troubled. The title of Emperor was a matter for a lifetime, destined to be passed down through the ages.

If it is a family that has established a Dou Di clan, they must all use this as their surname, so we cannot be careless.

Lin Feng's expression was also solemn. Although it was still early, preparations for the imperial title had to be made as soon as possible. If a momentary lapse led to eternal infamy, he would truly have no face to show his face.

As far as Lin Feng knew, in that endless multiverse, there was a Heavenly Emperor who, in his childhood, was given a title that included something like "he loves to drink beast milk."

So much so that he wanted to rule alone for eternity, and was afraid of running into acquaintances!

"How about we call you the Nightmare Emperor? Brother Jinglian's specialty is combat techniques, which suits your identity!"

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint also joined in the effort, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, coming up with this imperial title.

"The Nightmare Emperor?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint murmured unconsciously, and joy gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Excellent! This title not only lets people know my name immediately, but it also spreads word about my methods!"

"Splash!"

The matter of the imperial title was of great concern not only to Lin Feng, Jinglian, and the Demon Saint, but also to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, whose intelligence was comparable to that of a human child.

The ancient Bodhi tree, now shrunk to the height of a person, swayed incessantly. Then, a wisp of pure energy transformed into a light screen, upon which were written two large characters.

"Azure Emperor!"

"The Azure Emperor? Hahaha, with Brother Bodhi's boundless vitality and emerald green body, he is indeed very worthy of the title of Azure Emperor!"

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint and his companions laughed loudly, indicating their agreement.

Lin Feng, however, wore a bitter expression. He also desperately wanted the title of Azure Emperor.

As the saying goes, "If I were the Green Emperor in the future..."

Upon hearing the approval of the group, the ancient Bodhi tree swayed back and forth, quite pleased with itself.

"Lin Feng, have you decided on a title yet?"

"Not yet. If we follow your naming method, my strongest and most unique attribute is my Five Elements constitution."

Lin Feng pinched his chin, deep in thought, quite troubled.

"Could it be that he should be honored as the Five Elements Emperor?"

As soon as he said it, Lin Feng subconsciously shook his head.

"This name sounds a bit rustic, like it comes from some small town, which makes people look down on it!"

"Well, that's true!"

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint nodded. The group pondered deeply for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Lin Feng's imperial title should be.

"Well, becoming a Dou Di is still a long way off for me. It's too early to think about these things now!"

After a long time, Lin Feng still couldn't come up with any powerful imperial title, so he gave up. For now, he should absorb and refine the energy of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame first.

"That's true!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded and took over the conversation.

"In that case, I will take action myself. I want to completely strip away the little demon's energy, seal its memories, and preserve its initial, naive intelligence."

"This is a huge project!"

Outside, all that could be seen was a sea of ​​milky-white flames, and dozens of powerful puppets had already surrounded the group. All that could be heard were the screams of rogue cultivators and members of hidden sects.

Deep within the Demon Flame Space, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's expression was somewhat grim.

"Damn it, this situation is different. How did these damned imperial clans unite?"

His original plan was to make everyone lose their minds unknowingly within the illusion of the Nightmare Sky Mist, ultimately turning them into puppets.

At this moment, several four- or five-star Dou Sheng from the Imperial Clan acted together. With his half-baked Nightmare Mist, it was clearly difficult for him to get these people into the illusion together.

"These guys are alright, but the key question is, why are they all acting together this time? Could it be that the imperial clan behind them wants to refine me?"

Upon realizing this, a look of panic could no longer be concealed on his handsome face.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"It's all that damned Pure Lotus Demon Saint's fault. If he hadn't sealed me here back then, with my abilities, I would have already advanced to the eight-star or even nine-star Dou Sheng level."

"With my abilities, where in this vast Dou Qi Continent can't I go?"

Unbeknownst to everyone, Lin Feng struck out with a palm, knocking back a puppet wielding a giant blood-red axe.

With a light tap of his right hand, he quickly drew a talisman in the void. In the eyes of Xiao Yan and the others, a talisman imbued with the aura of nightmares rapidly formed.

Then, the talisman multiplied from one to two, then from two to four, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of talismans appeared and were imprinted on the foreheads of many puppets.

In an instant, it was absorbed into their minds.

"The Nightmare-Breaking Talisman!!!"

"No, how could you possibly possess the Nightmare-Breaking Talisman?"

Just as Gu Nanhai was staring intently at the man wielding the blood-red axe, frowning and deep in thought, a furious shout interrupted his train of thought.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw an exceptionally handsome man appear in the void, dressed in a milky-white robe, with a throne forged from flames beneath him.

With such a appearance, he truly deserves to be called a supreme expert!

However, his apparent eagerness and irritability revealed his lack of confidence.

"You damned bastard, tell me, that guy Pure Lotus Demon Saint, I saw him die with my own eyes, he didn't leave any legacy at all."

"How could you? How dare you learn his Illusionary Path? This belongs to me. I have fought for him for thousands of years. This is what I deserve!"

These words made everyone recognize the handsome man's identity; he was none other than the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, who had been suppressed here by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

"Delay may lead to unforeseen changes!"

"Everyone, now that the Pure Lotus Demon Flame has appeared, let us all join forces to suppress it!"

Looking at the Pure Lotus Demon Flame in the sky, Gu Nanhai also gave up thinking about the identity of the figure holding the blood-red axe. At this moment, taking down the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was the top priority!

"Brother Nanhai is absolutely right. In that case, let us old bones lend a hand to the young people once more!"

The elder leading the Thunder Clan clenched his enormous fist, revealing a surprisingly muscular face covered in scars.

"It seems that the higher the cultivation level of a Thunder Clan cultivator, the more rugged and muscular their body becomes."

"I wonder if the women of the Thunder Clan are the same?"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled. He seemed to have never seen a female member of the Thunder Clan before. "Could it be as I suspected?"

"A master approaching the level of a six-star Dou Sheng, and with a rare treasure like the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, even if we join forces, we cannot be careless!"

The expert from the Stone Clan had a serious expression. He was Shi Zhongtian, the second strongest expert in the Stone Clan after the clan leader Shi Yan, and he was at the early stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm.

Since it was an alliance, although the Stone Clan was weak, no one forced the Stone Clan's experts to come. Shi Yan also sent Shi Zhongtian instead.

Otherwise, the Stone Clan's status will become increasingly humble.

"The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is a terrifying existence, ranking third on the list of extraordinary flames, and it is unique!"

After gesturing for Yao Tian and the others to step back, Yao Wangui of the Yao Clan looked solemnly at the handsome man in the sky, who was still somewhat deranged.

"What's most terrifying is that it has also inherited the legacy of that demigod from back then. Even if its skills are not yet refined, we cannot be careless!"

"Someone could die if you're not careful!"

Although Yao Wangui was extremely arrogant when facing Yao Chen, he knew exactly what to do when faced with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which was stronger than him and could even take his life.

"Leave the Pure Lotus Demon Flame to me!"
