Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Several years have passed since the extraterrestrial evil race broke the seal. Apart from the territory of the Endless Ocean, nearly a quarter of the vast Dou Qi Continent has been occupied.

Every day, battles rage between the extraterrestrial evil race and the alliance of the Dou Qi Continent, led by numerous imperial clans, resulting in the constant loss of countless lives.

The Dou Qi Continent is simply too vast. Even with the personal intervention of many Dou Sheng to create spatial wormholes, many creatures in various places are swallowed up before they can be rescued.

As time went by, many reclusive powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent gradually emerged, including powerful figures like Shennong Laoren, who was at the level of a Five Elements Dou Sheng.

However, his status is somewhat special. As a ninth-grade Xuan Dan master, he also possesses the ultimate treasure for alchemists—the Flame of Life!

It can be said that, with the help of the Flame of Life, almost every month a Grade 9 precious pill is produced. Together with the medicinal pills of the Medicine Clan and the Pill Tower Flame, they can be said to be the key logistics for the allied forces.

In addition, many young powerhouses are gradually gaining fame.

Xiao Yan, who can fuse more than ten different flames and is known as the ancestor of flames, Gu Xun'er, who can even burn the fighting spirit of the extraterrestrial evil race, and the Thunder Clan's Thunderous Black Demon Thunder Heavenly Punishment power, which is also a great restraint on the extraterrestrial evil race.

In addition, some of the older generation of strongmen also shone brightly. Xiao Chen, one of the six outstanding members of the Xiao family back then, wielded a blood-red axe and his fierce fighting style made even the extraterrestrial evil races feel a little fear.

Surprisingly, Shi Yan, the patriarch of the Stone Clan, who was a disgrace to the patriarch of the Imperial Clan, actually made further progress in his years of battles, breaking through to the Seven-Star Battle Saint realm, putting great pressure on Yao Dan.

After all, the Medicine Clan is not known for its combat prowess, but when it comes to alchemy, the Alliance officially regards Dan Yan as the most respected, and he can even refine half-step Golden Cores!

With victory comes defeat. In the midst of many battles, the ancient clan's Gu Nanhai was unable to provide timely assistance and was devoured alive by a powerful figure from the extraterrestrial evil clan, comparable to a seven-star Dou Sheng. This was the first Dou Sheng-level expert lost by the allied forces.

Since then, the battles have escalated rapidly, with intermediate and even advanced Battle Saints engaging in fierce combat. Even the Monster Mountain Range of the Northwest Continent, stretching for countless miles, has been brutally obliterated!

Fortunately, the creatures in the vicinity had already entered the Central Plains through the spatial passage opened up by the colorful scales!

Blood rain falls between heaven and earth from time to time. It is unknown whether it comes from the native creatures of the Dou Qi Continent, from the evil races outside the heavens, or both!

Strangely, the Soul Clan, a super behemoth that was once the leader of many imperial clans on the Dou Qi Continent, completely disappeared during this period, with no news of them coming.

Even more strangely, neither the allied forces nor the extraterrestrial evil race seemed to pay any attention to this, deliberately ignoring their existence.

"Chieftain, the sages have collected enough life essence. Shall we begin to repair your original soul blood and lift the restrictions imposed on you by the Soul Clan?"

Inside the pitch-black hall, a figure slowly appeared, kneeling on one knee, and asked the Demon Lord on the throne.

"Oh?"

The figure on the throne slowly rose, looking at the sky outside with a somewhat casual expression. If Lin Feng, the Soul Emperor, were here, he would be surprised to find that the aura on his body was somewhat similar to that of the Devouring Spirit King back then.

"Very good. Prepare to activate the grand formation. This clan leader not only intends to restore his original soul blood, but also to advance further. The day he emerges from seclusion will be the day our clan conquers the Dou Qi Continent!"

"yes!"

"Almost a year has passed, and Lin Feng still hasn't emerged from seclusion?"

Deep within the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint stood together, their gazes unanimously fixed on the massive array a thousand miles away.

About three months ago, the array's operation speed had already slowed down considerably, indicating that Lin Feng had completely absorbed and refined the Nine Profound Golden Lightning. All he needed to do next was break through and emerge from seclusion!

"With the energy accumulated over countless years by the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, even if Lin Jinglei retained a portion, the remaining energy would be more than enough for Lin Feng to advance further and reach the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm!"

Lin Feng's actions within the Void Thunder Pool did not cause the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and the others to fall asleep.

The Nine Profound Golden Thunders developed sentience and wanted to take human form, but the probability of this was much smaller than that of the Strange Fire taking human form, so they were extremely curious.

"I wonder if Lin Feng can seize this opportunity to soar to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!"

"If that's truly the case, with his profound Five Elements physique energy combined with numerous powerful secret techniques, perhaps even a supreme powerhouse below the Half-Emperor level like the Ancient Primordial Soul Heavenly Emperor would no longer be his match!"

As he spoke, Xiao Xuan shook his head again. Although he had never seen the true form of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, the power of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng was immense. This was not even the complete origin of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, and it was unlikely to reach the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!

"If you want to know what level Lin Feng can reach, just watch!"

"What?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint pointed to a spot not far away, and the group looked in the direction he indicated. They saw the almost merged Refining Heaven Ancient Array and the Five Elements Life and Death Array slowly fade away, gradually revealing Lin Feng's figure.

Thousands of miles away, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and a beam of five-colored divine light shot out, instantly piercing through a mysterious place in the Heavenly Tomb.

"ah"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the Heavenly Tomb, instantly waking countless overlords on the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, who looked at that place with some suspicion and uncertainty.

If they remembered correctly, the owner of this voice belonged to the wicked soul of the Heavenly Tomb!

"Lin Feng, I know you! How dare you attack me! You're dead! No one in heaven or earth can save you!"

"The Five Elements Generation and Destruction Refining Heaven Array, activate!"

Lin Feng ignored it completely, pointed to the sky, and the Five Elements Life and Death Array and the Refining Heaven Ancient Array, which had disappeared, appeared at the same time in the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, trapping a strange creature inside.

The five divine beasts descended from the sky one after another, suppressing the enormous face, which was ten thousand feet in size, into the great formation. No matter how much it struggled, it was all in vain!

However, since the Heavenly Tomb Soul was formed from the mixed souls of countless powerful individuals after the creation of the Heavenly Tomb, even though its power was extremely chaotic, Lin Feng felt that its immense power was even stronger than that of Gu Yuan.

"Gentlemen, now is the time to enter the battle!"

Lin Feng shouted loudly, and his figure shot out at the same time, turning into a shooting star and instantly landing in front of the Western White Tiger.

"roar"

The immense five-colored battle qi surged out like a dam bursting, its terrifying momentum impossible to stop. The five-colored Qilin behind it roared to the sky, and with the support of Lin Feng's battle qi, its massive body, thousands of feet long, instantly materialized!

"Eight-star Dou Sheng late stage? Very well, in that case, I, Huang Quan, cannot fall behind!"

Sensing the aura that Lin Feng released without reservation, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint laughed loudly, and endless Nine Nether Yellow Springs appeared behind him, with terrifying cold energy that seemed to freeze time and space.

Following the method of adjustment over the past year, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint landed in front of Xuanwu. The endless Yellow Springs of the Nine Netherworld merged with the endless ocean where Xuanwu resided, creating towering waves that fiercely suppressed the massive waves.

"Splash!"

The Bodhi Tree seemed eager to make its move and demonstrate its power to Lin Feng and his companions.

Its body, originally as tall as a person, instantly expanded to ten thousand feet in size, merging with the phantom of the Jianmu Divine Tree where the Azure Dragon of the Wood was coiled. Endless life force flowed from within the Jianmu Tree into the Azure Dragon's body, and its enormous dragon claw instantly tore off a corner of the ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon.

"In that case, I'll take care of the White Tiger!"

Unlike the others who displayed their supernatural powers, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint smiled slightly and silently appeared in front of the White Tiger. A dreamlike aura appeared and entered the White Tiger's body.

"I never imagined that after failing to break through to the Dou Di realm and ending up in this godforsaken place, I'd still be here today!"

Xiao Xuan looked up at the massive formation in the sky, where four figures were already in place, seemingly waiting for him. A surge of heat rose within him.

"Hahaha, Blood Blade, guard my tomb well, I'll be right back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, endless flames rose from Xiao Xuan's body, instantly soaring into the sky and transforming into a shooting star that landed in front of Zhu Que.

"Yes, Lord Xiao Xuan!"

On the desolate plain, Blood Blade remained where he was, gazing at the great formation in the sky, unable to conceal his excitement.

"Is this damn thing finally going to be killed?"

It wasn't just Blood Blade; within the third level of this Heavenly Tomb, besides those Dou Sheng-level powerhouses, there were countless Dou Zun, Transcendent Dou Zun, or Half-Saint-level energy beings constantly battling each other.

The moment the colossal beast was trapped, they all stopped moving, the crimson in their eyes slowly fading as they stared blankly at each other. Then, as if they had thought of something, they all looked towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.

"That damned thing, Lord Xiao Xuan, is he finally going to make his move?"

"Damn it, Xiao Xuan, Lin Feng, and you lot, are you trying to rebel?"

The colossal face, towering ten thousand feet tall, was brutally torn apart and suppressed by the five sacred beasts that had materialized. Yet, it struggled incessantly, and its expressionless face began to change rapidly.

Anger, murderous intent, indifference, and even a trace of fear appeared on this gigantic face, making it incredibly eerie!

Originally, the person he feared most in this Heavenly Tomb was Xiao Xuan. From the memories of many souls, he learned that Xiao Xuan had reached the level of a half-emperor in his lifetime.

Although it coveted Xiao Xuan's soul, the Heavenly Tomb Soul had been around for countless years and understood all aspects of humanity, so it naturally wouldn't provoke him.

Although Xiao Xuan possessed this energy, it required burning his very essence. For Xiao Xuan, who dared to attempt to become a Dou Di by gathering the power of his entire clan's bloodline, living in the Heavenly Tomb as neither human nor ghost would be the greatest insult to him.

If he hadn't left a trace, and if he hadn't been anticipating or waiting for the arrival of the Xiao clan's descendants, he probably would have already killed this Heavenly Tomb Soul that dared to covet him.

For this reason, the two have always kept to themselves and never interfered with each other!

Until Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen arrived, one caused Xiao Xuan to lose the power of his Dou Di bloodline, while the other caused Xiao Xuan to lose some of his power in order to allow Xiao Chen to advance further.

This prompted the Heavenly Tomb Soul to pry again. It had a feeling that if it could devour Xiao Xuan, it might undergo some strange change, or even transform into a real living being.

"I am a creation of the Dou Di. Aren't you all afraid of the Dou Di's revenge?"

Surrounded by five powerful figures of similar strength to Xiao Xuan, the Heavenly Tomb Soul's tone carried an undisguised fear; it was afraid!

"Hahaha, the Dou Di powerhouse who created this Heavenly Tomb has long since disappeared without a trace, and may even be dead!"

"Even if he were still alive, do you think the Dou Di who created the Heavenly Tomb would have spared you after seeing a monster like you?"

Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, but it was clearly disdainful. He stopped looking at the enormous face and nodded to Lin Feng and the others.

"Nearly a year has passed in the Heavenly Tomb, and about two months have passed in the outside world. I wonder how much power the extraterrestrial evil race has accumulated."

Xiao Xuan's words carried a hint of worry. The extraterrestrial evil race had swept across the Dou Qi Continent. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. The Xiao Clan, which had finally found hope of revival, could not be destroyed by these invaders.

"Let's act quickly and suppress and refine this soul of the Heavenly Tomb!"

"In that case, let's make our move!"

Lin Feng and the Yellow Spring Demon Saint exchanged glances. Strangely enough, a face appeared on the tall Jianmu tree. It was somewhat childish, like a seven or eight-year-old human child.

"Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, Falling Strike, Go!"

"The Wrath of the Underworld!"

"Purify the world with demonic flames!"

"Splash!"

"The Five Elements Great Handprint!"

Four figures and a large tree simultaneously clasped their hands together and shouted.

A giant flaming finger, a massive phantom of a soul, a little demon standing in the void, the Jianmu tree shaking violently, Lin Feng standing on the central earth, five-colored battle qi transforming into a terrifying handprint, gathering the other four powers, and slamming down fiercely.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Five explosions rang out in succession, followed by a piercing scream, and the colossal crater exploded instantly.

At the critical moment, the group did not hesitate. They exchanged glances, and a vast amount of energy surged from their bodies, causing the Five Elements Creation and Destruction Refining Heaven Array to spin rapidly.

Countless five-colored chains extended from within the great formation and plunged fiercely into the body of the Heavenly Tomb Soul, which had reassembled and whose aura had become extremely weak.

"Ah, I curse you! I curse you to never reach the Dou Di realm! Ah!"

The mournful shouts abruptly ceased, accompanied by the extraction of a crystal of light no more than ten feet in size, after which the colossal face, once ten thousand feet in size, vanished completely from the world.

Within the vast Heavenly Tomb, all the energy beings, regardless of which level they were on, felt a sense of ease emanating from the depths of their souls. Instantly, they understood what was happening and bowed deeply towards the depths of the Heavenly Tomb.

"We are deeply grateful for your kindness, gentlemen; we will never forget it!"

It turned out that when the origin of the Heavenly Tomb Soul was extracted, whether it was a method left by the Dou Di or something else, the figures of Lin Feng and his companions appeared in the minds of many energy entities.

"Lin Feng, now that the grand formation has been established, we will operate it with all our might to help you enter the Emperor Realm soul stage more quickly."

Seeing the great array still rapidly rotating between heaven and earth, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint suddenly shouted, bringing everyone back to their senses.

"Such a vast source of power... once you reach the Soul Emperor Realm, you may not reach an ordinary Emperor Realm. Go!"

As an expert in the realm of souls, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's gaze held a hint of curiosity as he urged.

"Thank you all!"

Lin Feng clasped his hands in greeting to each of them, then without hesitation, he instantly landed in the center of the great formation and swallowed the Heavenly Tomb Soul Barrier, which was a full ten feet in size, into his body.

"boom"
