Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

A hearty laugh echoed across the vast Dragon Island, causing the over six thousand-foot-tall purple-gold pillar of light to sway slightly.

It seems that Zi Yan, who was in seclusion, also sensed Zhu Kun's appearance.

"It's too late, Zhugong! Don't worry, everyone. Focus all your efforts on assisting Ziyan until she reaches the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!"

"One day, we will return to that time when we roamed freely in the vast universe!"

"This won't take long; the dragon-phoenix's growth rate is beyond your imagination!"

Before Zhugong and the others could respond, he transformed into the massive Ancient Void Dragon in a single movement.

Wrapped in golden light, winding endlessly, it seemed to be approaching ten thousand feet, reaching another level!

"roar"

The ancient dragon emperor, nearly ten thousand feet tall, circled Dragon Island with lingering affection, carefully examining the many newborn dragon cubs.

Without further hesitation, he plunged headlong into the purple-gold pillar of light.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening, earth-shattering sound, many ancient dragons of the Void were surprised to find that the purple-gold pillar of light, which had stopped rising, began to climb rapidly again.

Although it's not as fast as it was at the beginning, at this speed, it might really be possible to enter that realm!

"Six thousand eight hundred zhang, six thousand nine hundred zhang, six thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang!!!"

At this moment, the purplish-gold pillar of light seemed to have run out of power and suddenly stopped rising.

However, the emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the strongest magical beast remaining on the Dou Qi Continent, even if it is just a fragment of his soul, is it really that simple?

"roar"

With a roar containing the ultimate dragon's might, the stagnant purple-gold beam of light rose again, instantly entering another level!

"Seven thousand feet!!!"

"roar"

Countless ancient dragons roared excitedly. Seven thousand feet represents a seven-star Dou Sheng, and His Majesty the Dragon Emperor had just made it very clear.

Once a dragon-phoenix at the Seven Star Dou Sheng realm has mastered its power, it is comparable to a Nine Star Dou Sheng!

The countless dragons, upon realizing this, were overwhelmed with excitement, their massive bodies roaming freely in the endless void, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Even an old dragon like Zhugong and Zhubing had slightly reddened eyes.

In a single day, not only did they see the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Clan again, but a new nine-star Dou Sheng-level warrior also appeared.

The Dragon Clan once again truly stands at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent!

Even if the Soul Clan is as powerful as it is, with two Nine-Star Dou Sheng, one of whom has reached the peak below Half-Emperor, the Dragon Clan will no longer be afraid!

"Boom boom boom"

The massive purple-gold pillar of light began to tremble, and a huge purple-gold shadow suddenly appeared from its bottom, forming the body of the Ancient Void Dragon with the wings of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix spread out on its back.

The boundless dragon's might was vast and mighty, seemingly no weaker than the previous Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Void!

Finally, after a strange sound that resembled both a dragon's roar and a phoenix's cry, the enormous pillar of light instantly began to condense and shrink.

In less than an hour, it completely disappeared!

Finally, a figure shrouded in a purple-gold halo slowly appeared in the sky above Dragon Island. One could vaguely see that it was covered in a layer of purple-gold scales.

The moment countless ancient dragons saw this figure, they could no longer suppress their roars.

"Dragon Phoenix! Dragon Phoenix! Dragon Phoenix!"

Before Zi Yan completed her evolution, drastic changes also occurred on the Dou Qi Continent.

In the Central Plains, a powerful alliance has emerged, centered around the Pill Tower, comprising prominent forces such as the Starfall Pavilion, Flower Sect, and Burning Flame Valley, as well as a hidden alliance of rogue cultivators.

In fact, to boost morale, Ancestor Dan Yan personally crafted a Grade 9 precious pill for Ancestor Fen Yan Valley.

While allowing his injuries to heal, he also broke through the barrier that had stood still for thousands of years, instantly melting away the barrier that had prevented him from entering the realm of a two-star Dou Sheng!

Even more surprisingly, Xiao Yan, the young master of the Starfall Pavilion, broke through to the true Dou Sheng realm in just over a year!

The alliance's higher-ups knew that everything was because of Xiao Yan's powerful backer, the Blood Axe Xiao Chen!

It turns out that back then, Blood Axe Xiao Chen was full of vigor and had the extremely powerful Xiao Xuan as his backer.

It can be said that, apart from the mysterious Ancient Dragon of the Void and the Soul Clan, there is no place on the Dou Qi Continent that the Xiao Clan cannot go!

Xiao Chen, one of the six heroes of the Xiao clan, earned the name Blood Axe at a young age and cultivated to the level of intermediate Dou Sheng!

However, with his elder brother Xiao Xuan as a comparison, he was naturally dissatisfied with his own achievements.

So, on a dark and stormy night, without telling anyone, he disappeared from the world created by Emperor Xiao.

This was simply because he also wanted to find a different kind of fire, or rather, another type of supreme power of heaven and earth.

Among these, at the edge of the Dou Qi Continent, he found the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, which ranked sixth on the Strange Flame Ranking!

The sixth-ranked Strange Flame is indeed powerful. Although it is not as unique as the top three Strange Flames, the newly born Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame is enough to threaten even a peak Dou Zun.

However, why would Xiao Chen, who is already a Dou Sheng, take a fancy to this weak strange fire?

After setting up a strong seal, he set off on his journey again, until he encountered the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

He was overjoyed. He rushed forward and delivered the most powerful blow of his life. In the end, he was defeated.

He didn't lose to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which was at the same level at the time, but rather to the legacy left by the legendary half-emperor, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, who was even stronger than his elder brother Xiao Xuan.

The next time he regained consciousness was thousands of years later. So, for Xiao Yan, the only descendant of the Xiao clan with the hope of reviving the Xiao clan, he retrieved the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, which had grown to the Dou Sheng realm!

This is the real reason why Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Sheng level!

Of course, the process of subduing the Dou Sheng's Strange Flame was aided by the mysterious help of the young lady of the ancient clan.

All the world knows is that after they emerged from seclusion, both of them possessed the aura of a three-star Dou Sheng!

As news of Xiao Yan's attainment of Dou Sheng spread, it seemed to act as a catalyst, with the remaining imperial clans and geniuses, such as the Ancient Clan and the Thunder Clan, all beginning to enter the inheritance grounds left by the Dou Di.

Even Lei Dong, the number one genius of the Lei Clan and the highest-ranking member of the younger generation of the former Imperial Clan, was only at the level of a two-star Dou Sheng!

How could a member of the fallen Xiao clan possibly surpass them? Even with the alliance they maintain, the strongest member of the Xiao clan is none other than the returning Blood Axe Xiao Chen.

Back then, they were indeed the six heroes of the Xiao clan who dominated the world. However, with the passage of time, a four- or five-star Dou Sheng doesn't have much say anymore.

As for Lin Feng, that monster, it's one thing that he obtained such an opportunity as the Bodhi Ancient Tree and entered the second-star Dou Sheng realm in just one year.

Upon emerging from seclusion, he unexpectedly received some extraordinary opportunity from somewhere, and within three to five years, he reached the Dou Sheng realm, a level that takes decades, centuries, or even millennia to break through.

Advance once more, and enter the Four-Star Dou Sheng realm!

Now, he has also obtained the inheritance of the legendary half-emperor powerhouse, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, as well as the essence of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame accumulated over thousands of years.

I'm afraid that when he emerges from seclusion this time, he will reach the level of a five-star or even six-star Dou Sheng!

Such a monster! If the many imperial clans were facing the imminent threat of extinction from the Soul Clan, and Lin Feng also had the behemoth that was the Dragon Clan behind him.

I'm afraid even Gu Yuanlei and the others will tacitly agree to come to Zhongzhou together on a dark and stormy night and instantly eliminate Lin Feng, this great demon who is threatening Zhongzhou!

Who are you?

Deep within the Demon Abyss, a mysterious fluctuation, carried by a gentle breeze, slowly reached the ears of the Soul Emperor.

"Buzz"

Inside the dark cave, the Soul Emperor slowly opened his eyes, his gaze neither sad nor happy.

"They've finally arrived?"

"Celestial Demon Lord, I am a descendant of the Soul Clan, the Soul Clan Chief, Soul Emperor!"

"I have come today hoping to cooperate with the Demon Lord. I will help the Demon Lord escape his predicament, and in return, the Demon Lord will help me obtain the inheritance of the Battle Emperor!"

"What does the Demon Lord think?"

The Soul Emperor's spiritual power spread once again with the breeze, and when it entered the deepest part of the Demon Abyss, a shimmering demonic aura slowly enveloped it before disappearing.

"Buzz"

The ancient dragon statue of Taixu suppresses heaven and earth, but deep within the earth lies a vast world filled with demonic energy.

Within the world, demons run rampant. Deep within the demon realm, on a pitch-black throne, a figure covered in thorns slowly opens its eyes.

"The Soul Emperor?"

"What are your orders, Chieftain?"

The awakening of the figure on the throne startled the powerful demonic shadows guarding the surrounding area, who all knelt on one knee, awaiting orders.

"The time has come for us to break through the seals of those two ancient dragons. Give the order: the entire clan, don your armor! Today is the day our clan will once again bring fear to this world called the Dou Qi Continent!"

"yes!"

The numerous demonic figures excitedly clasped their fists, and then went down to fight. Before long, countless demonic sounds resounded across the land.

"The Soul Clan, once a minor clan. If you wish to receive my assistance, you'll have to break the seal on this small world first!"

The towering Demon Lord slowly rose, his crimson eyes gazing at the world barrier in the sky, which was covered in intricate patterns.

"The embryo of the Dou Qi Continent? Hahaha, you didn't expect it would be the people of the Dou Qi Continent who shattered your essence, did you?"

"Hahaha"

"Breaking the seal is the proper course of action, but before that, Demon Lord, please hand over a wisp of your primordial soul blood!"

The voice of the Soul Emperor rang out again, enraging this ancient demon.

Even though his Soul Demon Clan's origin is quite special, and even if his origin is controlled by someone, he is not afraid!

However, if this primordial soul blood is lost, it will severely damage one's vitality, requiring the consumption of countless living beings to replenish it.

"If the Demon Lord wants to escape, he'll have to pay a price, won't he? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"

The Soul Emperor remained unmoved. According to the Soul Clan's records, this extraterrestrial evil race was extremely strange and possessed terrifying combat power. If he did not obtain its original soul blood and control it using the Soul Emperor's method, he would be in serious trouble.

Even the Soul Emperor wouldn't dare release this extraterrestrial evil race!

"A mere patriarch of a small clan dares to defy the Holy Clan! Even at the risk of our hybrid bloodline exploding, we'll devour you the moment we're born!"

"And let the descendants of this small tribe replenish our clan's essence!"

Hehehe

The Demon Lord's crimson eyes gleamed with malevolent light as he stared intently at the sky.

It seems as if one can see the hidden Soul Emperor through the sealed world formed by the power of the Plane Embryo, which is created by many ancient powerhouses of the Dou Qi Continent.

"Pfft."

A stream of dark blood slowly seeped from the Demon Lord's forehead, silently emerging from this small world.

Without Gu Yuan's knowledge, it reached the hands of the Soul Emperor.

"The primordial soul blood is now in your hands. Act quickly! My warriors are eager to act!"

The Soul Emperor looked at the pitch-black mixed-blood before him and smiled eerily. A blood-red greatsword slowly appeared in his hand.

Before the Demon Lord could react, the half-blood was grabbed by the Soul Emperor and stuffed into the blood blade.

"What a fool you are. You were sealed by the Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer. No matter how strong you are, you haven't reached the level of a Dou Di."

"No matter how bizarre your extraterrestrial race may be, the essence of your power ultimately has traceable patterns!"

"You extraterrestrial evil race, I, the Soul Emperor, have you in my grasp!"

"Void, prepare to attack!"

After everything was prepared, the Soul Emperor quietly awakened the Void Devouring Flame and the others who had been sleeping to avoid being detected by Gu Yuan.

"Clan chief?"

According to clan records, what sealed the extraterrestrial evil race was the legendary primordial consciousness of the Dou Qi Continent.

After many powerful figures gradually awoke, the Soul Emperor began to reveal his plan.

"As people of the Dou Qi Continent, we will not provoke a backlash from this power. As for the two old dragons, let the extraterrestrial evil race, which has broken free of its seal, deal with them!"

"Clan leader, why is there a seal of the original consciousness of the Dou Qi Continent? Why did those two ancient dragons of the Void consume their own essence to transform into stone statues and suppress this place?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because the seal has loosened!"

"At this moment, we are on the verge of annihilation. If we fail this time, we will be forced to hide in the Soul Realm until our bloodline power is gradually exhausted!"

"Don't dwell on these issues!"

"yes!"

"Gu Yuan and the others must be lurking in the shadows, therefore we only have one chance to strike!"

After a moment's hesitation, the Soul Emperor spoke to the four figures emanating an aura of death.

"Elders, please refrain from attacking just yet. If anything goes wrong, immediately use the Gate of Deathly Silence to rescue us!"

"yes!"

Just then, from the depths of the Demon Abyss, a mysterious consciousness reached the ears of the Soul Emperor.

"Make your move!"

With a loud shout, Soul Emperor and the others instantly appeared in front of the two ancient dragon statues.

"Blood Demon Heart-Devouring Thunder!"

"All souls pay homage!"

"Heavenly Demon Blood Gu, go!"

"Heaven-Devouring Flame!"

"."

The Soul Clan members unleashed their full power upon their birth, delivering a devastating blow.

"Boom!"

For countless ages since the beginning of the Demon Abyss, the sky, which had been obscured by the vast demonic energy, has been cracked open because of this.

Countless high-level Dou Sheng experts joined forces, including Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame, two nine-star Dou Sheng level beings.

In an instant, the land within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was cracked and mountains collapsed, and countless alternate dimensions were blasted out of the Dou Qi Continent.

And the mysterious energy above that massive stone statue was instantly destroyed in a flash!

"What!?"

Gu Yuan, who was monitoring countless alternate dimensions in the Endless Demon Abyss, suddenly shouted in disbelief.

Lei Yingyan and the others were also shaken by this terrifying energy and immediately woke up from their slumber. The first thing they saw was that the endless abyss of demons had cracked open!

"Ha ha ha ha."

Before anyone could react, a terrifying laugh came from a different dimension behind two ancient dragon statues.

The endless demonic energy danced and cheered, worshipping, as if the one laughing was the master of the endless demonic energy!

"Damn primordial consciousness, and you two damned old dragons, how dare you seal my holy race!"

"Today is the day you've been waiting for!"

"roar"

The moment the seal shattered, the two colossal stone statues, each thousands of feet tall, unleashed ancient, furious roars.

"Click."

With the sound of breaking stones, two endless, winding ancient dragons of the void instantly revived and hovered above the endless abyss of demons.

"The world-ending crisis of the Dou Qi Continent has re-emerged!"
