Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

In the empty space of the demonic fire, Lin Feng's expression was somewhat heavy. He had not expected that in just over a year, the Dou Qi Continent would have undergone such changes.

Even though he had some vague suspicions about the extraterrestrial evil race, he was still somewhat surprised at this moment. Originally, if it were just the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan, he wouldn't be unable to confront them head-on with his current abilities.

"The extraterrestrial evil race doesn't need Origin Qi; all they need is an endless stream of living beings to break through to a realm comparable to a Dou Di!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint, with a solemn expression, revealed his guess.

"Perhaps these demons aren't breaking through to a higher realm, but rather regaining their former power through the flesh, blood, and souls of countless living beings!"

"Moreover, according to news from the ancient clans, the true nature of the extraterrestrial demons' power seems to far surpass that of battle qi. Even among those of the same cultivation level, unless one is truly exceptionally talented, they would absolutely be no match for the extraterrestrial demons!"

"Even if we launch a decisive battle now, we are no match for them. One day, demonic energy will eventually cover the entire Dou Qi Continent."

"By then, we will truly be powerless to reverse the situation!"

Standing in the void, Lin Feng also felt powerless. Even if he gave the Origin Qi to Gu Yuan now, with his abilities, he might not be able to break through to the Dou Di realm.

"It seems that this is the only way!"

Before the arrival of many major events, Zhongzhou, the Holy Pill City, was the obvious center of the Dou Qi Continent, where countless top alchemists resided.

Every few decades, a grand gathering of alchemists from across the continent is held here, making this place a haven for powerful individuals.

With a casual swing of the Xuan Heavy Ruler, one might just hit a Dou Huang-level expert, or even a Dou Zun-level expert who is playing the game of life!

Now, with the arrival of many imperial clans, although the imperial realm is hidden in the void, it does not prohibit the imperial clans from interacting with the outside world.

With the exposure of the Soul Emperor's conspiracy and the emergence of the extraterrestrial evil race, the once high and mighty imperial clans seem to have changed their minds and made subtle changes.

With many Dou Sheng powerhouses leading the way, and many Dou Zun powerhouses setting off to various parts of the Dou Qi Continent to fight against the evil demons that were devouring living beings, this place became increasingly glorious.

On ordinary days, one can even see powerful Dou Sheng preparing to go to war, exuding a strong aura, or returning with a Dou Sheng full of killing intent.

"The changes in Saint Dan City are truly beyond my expectations!"

Lin Feng walked through Saint Pill City, accompanied by Hei Qing, who guarded the Demon Flame Plain, and Gu Tongxuan of the Ancient Clan. At this moment, both of them had expressions of curiosity on their faces.

Clearly, although they had been stationed in the Demonfire Plains for more than a year and knew about the changes in Saint Pill City through information transmission, they could not witness them with their own eyes.

Of course, at this moment, what the two of them really wanted to know was Lin Feng's cultivation level.

Originally a super strong expert at the level of a four-star Dou Sheng, and having devoured the third-ranked being on the Strange Flame Ranking, Lin Feng's current combat power has probably exceeded their imagination.

"Haha, Lin Feng, you're back!"

A loud laugh rang out, and Lin Feng looked up to see Zhu Ying leading a group of Dragon Guards back from outside Saint Pill City.

His aura was extremely violent. Even with the profound power of the Ancient Dragon's origin, he was somewhat tired at this moment, but his face was full of joy.

For the warlike Ancient Void Dragons, if it weren't for the fact that this extraterrestrial evil race possessed the power to destroy the Dou Qi Continent, they would probably rather they existed longer.

"Senior Zhuying, it's been a long time!"

Lin Feng smiled slightly. He sensed that Zhu Ying's aura had reached a new level, reaching the deepest level of the six-star Dou Sheng realm.

Perhaps, in the near future, the Dragon Clan will once again produce a Seven-Star Battle Saint.

"Lin Feng, your aura?"

Zhu Ying originally wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that Lin Feng in front of him gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Haha, Senior Zhuying has a good eye!"

A wisp of breath flashed by, causing Zhu Ying's expression to change drastically. First, he was incredulous, then his expression turned somber, and then he felt a mixture of emotions, including understanding, admiration, and joy.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Feng would have found it hard to believe that the bold and unrestrained Taixu Ancient Dragon could be so versatile.

"Lin Feng, you have now completely surpassed me. Perhaps, with your talent, you will soon become a key force in dominating the battle!"

Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't speak immediately.

"Senior Zhuying, let's head to the council hall first. I have a plan that might alleviate the current crisis!"

"Walk!"

Zhu Ying looked pleasantly surprised; he chose to believe in Lin Feng, the prince consort who had repeatedly performed miracles.

In the spacious and magnificent hall, there were hundreds of seats. Lin Feng glanced at them and immediately understood the meaning of each seat.

The title of Dou Sheng is reserved for true Dou Sheng powerhouses, the last cultivation realm on the Dou Qi Continent besides Dou Di, and the most powerful figures who suppress heaven and earth.

There are hundreds of such seats in this place; one can imagine how terrifying that must be!

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, you've misunderstood. A large portion of these spots are reserved for promising prodigies!"

An old man's laughter echoed in the hall. Looking up, one could see Elder Lin, the Great Elder of the Little Pill Tower. It had been a long time since they had seen him, and no one knew what kind of opportunity he had obtained, but he had actually entered the mid-stage of the Three-Star Dou Sheng realm.

"Elder, it's been a long time! You're still as dashing as ever!"

"It's all thanks to you that the Ancestor obtained a top-tier precious pill using Bodhi seeds and several ancient medicinal herbs as the main ingredients."

Old Monster Lin stroked his beard, his eyes filled with joy. His cultivation level, which had stagnated for many years, had made rapid progress again, a feeling that was hard to describe.

"A large portion of that immense medicinal power is still stored within my body; I'm confident that reaching the level of a four-star Dou Sheng will not be a problem!"

"Haha, congratulations in advance to the Grand Elder on reaching the intermediate Dou Sheng realm!"

Lin Feng smiled slightly. It was indeed something to be happy about that he could still make such a great improvement after reaching the Dou Sheng realm.

"I can't compare to you, I can't compare to you at all!"

Even so, the elder's wide grin was hard to suppress.

While the two were talking, one after another, powerful Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) experts took their places in the main hall.

Lin Feng was very familiar with several of them: Gu Qingyang and Gu Xun'er from the Ancient Clan, Huo Xuan from the Flame Clan, Yao Tian from the Medicine Clan, and others. They were all outstanding young talents from various imperial clans.

After a long absence, they no longer possessed their former gentleness and arrogance. Like Zhu Ying, whom I first met upon entering Saint Pill City, they now exuded a strong aura of killing intent, and much of their former arrogance had vanished.

It's unclear whether they've grown and come to understand the true meaning of power, or whether they've become more restrained because many top-tier experts are about to arrive.

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, what is your plan in summoning us here today?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Lin Feng turned to look at the entrance of the main hall, where he saw Xiao Yan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

With a slight sense, Lin Feng was surprised to find that the opponent's realm had actually reached the four-star Dou Sheng level. Although the aura was fluctuating, it was clear that the opponent had just completed the advancement.

Behind him was Blood Axe Xiao Chen, whom he had met once before in the Demon Flame Space. The killing aura emanating from him was more intense than that of anyone else in the hall. If he hadn't intentionally controlled it, even a four-star Dou Sheng would have been at risk of losing their composure upon seeing him.

"As expected of the six outstanding talents of the Xiao family back then, despite having lost a long period of time and already out of the world, they have already reached the six-star Dou Sheng realm in just over a year!"

Lin Feng sighed at this, but it wasn't unexpected, because he sensed a familiar aura on Xiao Chen, which belonged to Xiao Xuan, the former half-emperor and the strongest member of the Xiao family.

"Most likely, with the threat from the extraterrestrial evil race and the Soul Emperor looming, Gu Yuan has also considered Xiao Xuan's methods!"

"However, a six-star Dou Sheng is not of much use in the face of this war that is sweeping across the entire Dou Qi Continent."

As Lin Feng's thoughts raced, the leaders of several major powers arrived one after another, including Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and others, who took their seats.

"Lin Feng, what is your cultivation level?"

Before the meeting even started, Lei Ying's loud voice attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their gaze to Lin Feng, who was extremely curious about his strength.

"By sheer luck, I broke through to the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm!"

Faced with everyone's curiosity, Lin Feng did not hide anything. With the threat of the extraterrestrial evil race looming ahead, everyone should unite as one to overcome this great crisis.

"hiss"

Like an elephant sucking up water, hundreds of Dou Sheng powerhouses inside the hall gasped in shock, instantly draining the icy air from the surrounding thousand miles. The Central Plains instantly heated up, as if heavenly fire had descended upon the world!

"Seven-Star Dou Sheng, Senior Brother Lin Feng, you're truly a monster!"

Xiao Yan's mouth opened and closed, his eyes wide with disbelief. He had originally thought that obtaining two more strange flames and reaching the level of a four-star Dou Sheng in the past year was already a terrifying breakthrough.

However, Lin Feng's rapid breakthrough from a four-star Dou Sheng to a seven-star Dou Sheng, which was originally as fast as a rocket, now seemed like a tortoise crawling.

"Good, good, the faster the breakthrough, the better!"

Ancestor Dan Yan smiled slightly. Having returned to his old man form, he never saw the green ox again. He didn't know if it had been eaten or if the green ox was a manifestation of him that made people want to explore it.

"A Seven-Star Dou Sheng, who has even reached the pinnacle of that realm, could begin the breakthrough to an Eight-Star Dou Sheng once the opportunity arises. It's truly astonishing!"

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to remain calm, but his heart was in turmoil. This feeling was comparable to when he first learned that Xiao Xuan planned to attempt to become a half-emperor.

"Perhaps you will break free from the shackles that have lasted for tens of thousands of years and reach the legendary Dou Di realm!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the hundreds of Battle Saints shifted, unconsciously revealing a hint of anticipation.

"Haha, Uncle Gu Yuan, you flatter me. Lin Feng is only a seven-star Dou Sheng now. It will take many years before he reaches the nine-star Dou Sheng. His soul has not yet advanced to the Emperor Realm."

"In my opinion, Uncle Gu Yuan has a much greater chance of advancing to the Emperor Realm than I do."

This wasn't Lin Feng flattering him. If he were to give the Origin Qi to Gu Yuan now, and then use the time speed-up of the Heavenly Tomb, with Gu Yuan's talent, after a long period of seclusion, he would indeed have a chance to advance to the Dou Di realm.

However, Gu Yuan is indecisive, and Lin Feng is not his son-in-law. If Gu Yuan does not draw down the source energy after advancing to the Dou Di realm, then Lin Feng will have to stay on the Dou Qi Continent for the rest of his life.

Alternatively, he could only go to the cave of the ancient emperor Natuoshe to see if he could inherit his legacy, but in front of Xiao Yan who possessed the Burning Technique, the chances of that were not very high.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he decided to make two plans. Now that many Battle Saints have gathered, he intends to reveal one of them.

"I do have some clues about the matter of the Dou Di (Battle Emperor). Would you all be willing to hear them?"

"Oh?"

Yan Jin sat in a high position in the main hall, vaguely guessing what was going on.

"Lin Feng, just say what you have to say. We're all united now to get through this crisis, so we should speak freely!"

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, and the many Dou Sheng experts exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, their gazes falling on Lin Feng, wanting to see what ideas he had.

"Gentlemen," Lin Feng slowly rose, walked to the center of the hall, and looked around, "you have all personally experienced the matter of the extraterrestrial evil race. If we do not take action now, I fear we will be powerless to reverse the situation!"

"Therefore, I believe we should immediately gather the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, open the Ancient Emperor's Cave, retrieve the legendary inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, and allow Uncle Guyuan to become an emperor!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the hall fell silent, followed by a cacophony of voices.

"This seems like a good idea. If the Gu Yuan clan chief becomes an emperor, the crisis of the extraterrestrial evil race will be easily resolved. Even the Soul Clan can be wiped out in the process. I agree!"

"Yes, Clan Chief Gu Yuan has already reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and his soul has long since entered the Emperor realm. If he could obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, he would surely become a Dou Di!"

"Yes, maybe we'll even have a chance to become Dou Di!"

"This method is indeed feasible!"

"That makes sense!"

"."

Many Dou Sheng discussed the plan, and most of them approved of it. Just then, Yan Jin's voice rang out.

"Lin Feng, you may not know this, but the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was divided into eight pieces back then. With the destruction of the Spirit Clan, two pieces of the Emperor Jade are now in the hands of the Soul Clan."

Yan Jin's eyes were full of thought, and he finally shook his head helplessly. This was an unsolvable problem.

"Indeed, the Soul Clan has two nine-star Dou Sheng masters, and the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan was even released by the Soul Clan. Obtaining the Emperor Jade from them is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Even Gu Yuan was somewhat helpless at this moment. With the legacy of the ancient emperor Tuoshe preceding him, it would be a lie to say that he hadn't considered it.

However, even Xiao Xuan, who was the strongest of the five in the Dou Qi Continent, failed to gather all the Emperor Jade, let alone him.

"hehe."

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the saints, Lin Feng smiled slightly, drawing everyone's attention. "Could it be that he has a way?"

"Since we cannot obtain the Imperial Jade from the Heavenly Emperor of Souls, why not give it to him?"
