Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

In the council hall, the many Battle Saints looked at each other, all with a sense of sudden realization.

"I think this is a good idea. The Soul Emperor broke through the sealing barrier and released the extraterrestrial evil race. He probably wanted to use this to threaten us so that we could open the ancient emperor's cave."

Compared to the previous times, the three ancient immortals now exude a more murderous aura in addition to their ethereal demeanor, displaying their majesty.

"But what if the Soul Emperor obtains the opportunities in this ancient emperor's cave?"

An unnamed Battle Saint expressed his concerns. Lin Feng looked up and saw that the person was filled with a scorching aura, most likely a Battle Saint from the Flame Clan.

"Lin Feng, do you have a solution to this?"

Gu Yuan spoke up at this moment, but did not express a clear opinion. However, judging from his lack of refusal, Lin Feng guessed that he probably also wanted to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave to see if he could obtain the Ancient Emperor's inheritance.

"Senior Zhugong, you can tell me what to do next!"

Lin Feng avoided answering, instead looking at Zhu Gong and the others who seemed to be deep in thought, and smiled slightly.

"Elder Candlebow?"

Everyone turned their attention to the seats of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Zhu Gong's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at Lin Feng.

Upon seeing Lin Feng nod, Zhu Gong's body trembled, but he calmed down and slowly walked to the center of the hall, his loud voice ringing out.

"As you all may not know," Zhugong looked around at the many Dou Sheng, a hint of embarrassment on his face, "the emperor of my Dragon Clan is currently cultivating in seclusion deep within the Ancient Emperor's Cave."

"As long as we gather the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, we can work together with His Majesty from within and without to defeat the Soul Clan."

"The legacy of Emperor Natsashe naturally belongs to us. As for the candidate to become emperor, we can elect one at that time, shall we?"

"After all, the legacy of a Dou Di is not something that can be inherited so easily!"

"I never imagined that the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void still has a Dragon Emperor alive. It's truly terrifying!"

"Yes, now that we are in an alliance, the stronger the dragon race is, the better. The dragon emperor must be a powerhouse on par with Chief Gu Yuan. In this way, our chances of winning will increase even more."

"."

Many Battle Saints were discussing it, saying that the Dragon Clan still had such a powerful Dragon Emperor in the world, which was an incredible surprise given the current situation.

"Okay, okay!"

Lei Ying slammed his hand on the wooden table in front of him, his loud voice interrupting the crowd's discussion. His face was full of surprise.

"With Brother Gu Yuan, the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder, and Princess Zi Yan, and now with the Dragon Emperor as a powerful figure, the combined strength of these four top experts is no weaker than the combined strength of the Soul Clan and the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan."

"Even if we can't kill them, we absolutely cannot allow the demonic energy to expand so recklessly."

"If that's truly the case, it seems it's time for the ancient Tuoshe Emperor Jade, separated for so many years, to reunite!"

Gu Yuan nodded, a hint of undisguised longing appearing deep in his eyes. The Ancient Emperor's Cave—perhaps, he would have the opportunity to advance to the Dou Di realm from here!

"There's no need to open the ancient emperor's cave immediately!"

Just then, Lin Feng, the one who proposed the plan, raised a different objection.

"Oh? You mean?"

"The extraterrestrial evil race was released by the Soul Clan, and the evil consequences it brought cannot be made up for by us."

"Moreover," a divine light suddenly flashed in Lin Feng's deep eyes, "if the Soul Clan and the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan were to join forces now, our advantage would be significantly diminished!"

"That makes sense!"

"Therefore, if you want to open the ancient emperor's cave, you must first have the Soul Emperor present the heads of five extraterrestrial evil beings, at least comparable to a seven-star Dou Sheng, as a token of his sincerity!"

"Given his obsession with becoming a Dou Di, he will definitely agree!"

"Haha, Lin Feng, you're really something."

"Excellent, that's a great idea. The Soul Clan is also a member of the Dou Qi Continent. We can't let you and us fight the extraterrestrial evil race here; they'll have nothing to do!"

"Absolutely, absolutely. We must show sincerity to prevent the Soul Clan from colluding with the extraterrestrial evil race."

"If the extraterrestrial evil race is willing to make such a sacrifice—five Seven-Star Dou Sheng level experts—then we'll accept our defeat!"

"."

Inside the main hall, the many Dou Sheng powerhouses, who had been all smiles earlier, were no longer worried that the Soul Emperor would fall for such a blatant scheme.

"One more thing, the Xiao clan's patriarch is still in the hands of the Soul clan. Let them send him back while they're at it!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng!"

Xiao Yan, who was standing among the many Dou Sheng, was still thinking about how to speak when he heard Lin Feng's words. He immediately raised his head, clasped his hands together, and looked at Lin Feng with gratitude on his face.

"I will never forget Senior Brother Lin Feng's great kindness!"

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, there's no need for that. After all, the Xiao clan also owns a share of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade; it's only right!"

"In that case, I will personally discuss this with the Soul Emperor!"

Gu Yuan spoke up at this moment. The Soul Realm had already disappeared. As an old rival of thousands of years, if they wanted to pass the message to the Soul Clan without attracting the attention of the extraterrestrial evil race, Gu Yuan still needed to take action.

After discussing the matter again, everyone left one after another. After catching up with Xiao Yan and the others, Lin Feng arrived at Dragon Island.

"Senior Zhugong, we still need to make plans as soon as possible!"

Lin Feng's expression was calm, completely different from his previous strategic planning in the main hall.

"you mean?"

"Since the Soul Clan has been plotting for a thousand years, they must have left spies among the ancient clans and other imperial clans. It is even possible that there are Soul Clan agents in the main hall today."

"What!?"

Zhu Gong's expression changed drastically. "So, does that mean our plans today, including His Majesty's existence in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, have been discovered by the Soul Emperor and the others?"

"Senior Zhugong, there's no need to worry. Even if the Soul Emperor knows of Uncle Zhukun's existence, he will still agree to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave!"

Why?

"Do you know what the true form of Thoshegudi is?"

Lin Feng did not answer directly, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question. Before Zhu Gong could answer, he began to speak on his own.

"The Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, according to legend, is also one of the strange flames on the Ranking of Strange Flames!"

"After undergoing countless unimaginable trials and tribulations, and devouring the other twenty-one strange flames, he finally achieved the Dou Di realm!"

"Wait, isn't there supposed to be twenty-three different flames on the Ranking of Different Flames? Why did you only mention twenty-two?"

Zhu Gong looked puzzled. Could it be?

"Just as Senior Zhugong suspected, the number one strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking is none other than the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe!"

"No matter which strange flame it is, as long as it can devour all the other strange flames, it can become the number one on the Strange Flame Ranking!"

"Perhaps it is precisely because he gathered all the strange fire energy of the Dou Qi Continent that the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was able to achieve the impossible feat of becoming a Dou Di in this era of severed source energy!"

"hiss"

Zhu Gong gasped, shocked by Lin Feng's guess. He even had a feeling that what Lin Feng said was the truth!

"Of course, and within the ancient emperor's cave, there are two opportunities that can make one an emperor."

"The first is naturally the inheritance of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, which is obtained by those with the right destiny. The second is that Emperor-grade embryonic core, whose combat power is only slightly weaker than that of a half-emperor!"

"After opening the ancient emperor's cave, we must obtain these two opportunities. Senior Zhugong, one of the two returning elders of the Dragon Clan, what is your current condition?"

"The situation is not optimistic!"

The joy on Zhugong's face froze instantly. He slowly stroked his beard, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"My eldest and second brothers were suppressed in the Demon Abyss for nearly two thousand years. Even with the vast source of the Ancient Void Dragon, it was almost dried up. Even with the two Xuan Dan refined by Dan Yan, it is now difficult to recover to its peak."

"Moreover, lifespan will be greatly reduced; they'll probably only live for another two thousand years!"

"Two thousand years..."

Lin Feng's lips twitched. As expected of the supreme being of magical beasts, even with a high level of cultivation and a depleted source of energy, he was still able to survive for two thousand years. It was truly enviable.

"There's no rush. If Uncle Zhukun can break free and obtain the legacy left by Emperor Tuoshe, or if Ziyan's Dragon-Phoenix Body is fully developed, they can both become Dou Di."

"At that time, with the sublimation of bloodline, the problem of the depleted essence will naturally be resolved!"

At this point, Lin Feng looked around in confusion. He had been back for so long, he should have seen Zi Yan by now, so why was she still nowhere to be seen today?

"Hahaha, Princess Ziyan and Miss Cailin, worried about Canaan Academy and the snake-people of the Northwest Continent, have personally gone to open a spatial passage!"

After realizing that he was just worrying unnecessarily, Zhugong smiled again, as if he had remembered something, and looked at Lin Feng with a hint of amusement.

This startled Lin Feng, who was somewhat confused. He shook his head, put those matters aside, and got down to business.

"Senior Candlebow, I would like to ask that you accompany me to the Void Thunder Pool!"

"Void Thunder Pool?"

"Not bad," Lin Feng nodded, his gaze fixed on the depths of the void, as if he could see that wondrous creation of heaven and earth. "Deep within the Void Thunder Pool, endless black demonic lightning and nine-dimensional golden lightning, through indescribable creation, have converged into a thunder dragon!"

"You mean that little guy?"

Zhu Gong suddenly realized that the thunder dragon, which longed to take human form and develop intelligence, had been recalled in his mind, and he vaguely guessed Lin Feng's purpose in going to the Void Thunder Pool.

Lin Feng wasn't surprised that Zhugong knew the secrets deep within the Void Thunder Pool. With such terrifying energy right at their doorstep, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan must have investigated it.

Perhaps the Thunder Dragon's appearance is similar to that of the Ancient Void Dragon, just like the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

"Let's not delay, let's set off now!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Candle Bow created a spatial passage. At the end of the dark passage, Lin Feng could faintly see lightning and thunder.

Without hesitation, the two of them, one after the other, disappeared from the spot.

"Clan leader, what do you think Gu Yuan and the others mean? Could this be Gu Yuan's scheme to lure the enemy out?"

In the Soul Realm, atop that same towering mountain, many Battle Saints of the Soul Clan gathered, their faces filled with confusion as they looked at the secret letter that had been delivered to them.

The Soul Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the land of the Soul Realm. His dark eyes remained as deep as ever, making it impossible to discern his inner thoughts.

"I know Gu Yuan. Although he's somewhat indecisive, he would never resort to underhanded tactics!"

"Five extraterrestrial evil beings comparable to a Seven-Star Dou Sheng? This is cutting off my clan's escape route! However," the Soul Emperor suddenly turned around, his unparalleled aura soaring to the sky, "when has my Soul Clan ever needed a way out?"

"Tell Void that once his injuries have fully healed, it will be time for us to hunt down the extraterrestrial evil race."

The figure of the Soul Emperor slowly disappeared on the mountaintop, leaving only a faint voice behind.

"Didn't he want to advance to the Soul Emperor Realm? Five Seven-Star Dou Sheng and countless energies from the extraterrestrial evil race are enough!"

"As for that useless patriarch of the Xiao clan, let's return him to them as a token of our sincerity!"

"yes!"

"Clan leader, we have completely occupied the Southwest Continent, devouring countless lives. Many elders have recovered half of their power. Shall we proceed towards the Central Continent?"

Within the dark demon palace, countless black energies gathered, accompanied by countless vengeful spirits floating in the sky. These were all transformed from the resentment of beings devoured by the extraterrestrial evil race.

"The Central Continent has gathered all the resistance forces of the Dou Qi Continent, and it contains three nine-star Dou Sheng level warriors. Even if we are able to defeat them..."

Amidst the swirling demonic energy, an extremely terrifying figure slowly appeared atop the throne—the patriarch of the extraterrestrial evil race. Nearly a year had passed, and his aura had grown even more terrifying.

"Don't forget, our saviors, the two nine-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan, are still hiding in the shadows."

"As long as demonic energy occupies any corner of the Dou Qi Continent, they will be defeated without our intervention."

"Go down!"

"yes!"

The figure on the throne slowly rose, looked at the dark demon palace, and suddenly burst into an evil laugh.

"Only by completely transforming this world into our territory will the hidden dimensional embryo have nowhere to hide. Once we devour it, I, the patriarch, will surely surpass all the Demon Kings of the past and return to the Great Thousand World!"

"Hahaha"

"Boom boom boom"

Deep within the void, where there should have been eternal darkness, accompanied only by the murderous intent hidden in the depths of space.

A spatial storm could suddenly occur, powerful enough to overwhelm even a Dou Sheng-level expert.

However, countless bolts of lightning, surging forth unrestrained, illuminated the endless darkness, breaking the eternal silence.

Deep within this world of lightning, streaks of black demonic lightning, powerful enough to threaten even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level expert, explode and converge wildly, seemingly for the very purpose of their existence.

Such a terrifying world, apart from lightning, few living beings dare to set foot in this territory.

Today, however, an exception occurred: two reckless figures barged into this place.

As a result, these thunderbolts went completely berserk, and the terrifying energy of thunder swept wildly, with the vast fluctuations even causing a terrible spatial storm.

"Boom boom boom"

Seeing the black lightning surging towards him, Lin Feng laughed loudly and actually shattered the terrifying lightning in front of him. Then, to their astonishment, he swallowed a bolt of black lightning into his body.

"Hahaha, almost there, almost there!"
