Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

The Fire Spirit Fairy was no less formidable than any man of noble birth; her extremely charming and mature eyes were now filled with coldness.

She, the Fire Spirit Fairy, had lived through countless years, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like that. Did they really think she, the Fire Spirit Fairy, was a vegetarian?

"Hahaha, I'm old now, but count me in! I hope you all can help my Medicine Clan in the future!"

Yao Dan laughed heartily, stroked his beard, and with a wave of his hand, the storage ring in his hand fell off and floated to Yao Tian's front.

"Yao Tian, ​​from now on you must change your arrogant personality. The hope of the next generation of the Yao clan rests on Yao Ling. You must assist her well!"

"Chieftain."

Taking the storage ring from his hand, Yao Tian looked at Yao Dan's aged back and his eyes reddened slightly. He had never felt so weak before. His once proud strength as a late-stage one-star Dou Sheng was now so powerless.

"Hahaha, the old man certainly likes to get sentimental. Today, we'll keep you company!"

"We can't let Shi Yan down!"

"And me!"

"."

Countless veteran powerhouses stepped forward, their fierce aura bringing tears to the eyes of the many young prodigies behind them, yet they remained silent.

Instead, he gathered all his strength, waiting for the moment when his predecessors self-destructed, so that the space would open up and he could escape with all his might, in order to be worthy of their sacrifice.

"To use an old saying from your Dou Qi Continent, it's truly a case of 'refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!'"

The smile on the face of the Great Elder of the Demon Clan gradually faded, transforming into calm, and finally, into a raging inferno.

"In that case, you will become food for my Holy Race!"

"The Great Devouring of Yin Demons!"

The old man slowly raised his right hand, and in the sky, a massive demonic hand, nearly ten thousand feet tall, instantly formed and swiftly crushed down upon the crowd.

"Everyone, ignite your very essence!"

Xiao Chen suddenly shouted, his aura instantly soaring to the peak of his life, and it looked like he was about to unleash his ultimate technique of burning his source.

Just then, a loud laugh that sounded both familiar and unfamiliar to Xiao Chen came, causing him to stop in his tracks instantly.

"Hahaha, Xiao Chen, you still have that fiery temper, still the same Blood Axe Xiao Chen among the Six Heroes of the Xiao Clan!"

"It's you, Soul Emperor!"

Xiao Chen's expression immediately became extremely complicated, with hatred, anger, and a surge of emotions welling up, along with a hint of relief that he didn't want to admit.

As the laughter rang out, a giant hand, also nearly ten thousand feet in size, instantly shattered the Demon Clan Elder's attack. Upon seeing this, he knew that the Soul Emperor was definitely on their side.

Although he didn't know the reason, Xiao Chen had to admit that they were saved.

However, the person who made the move was none other than the Soul Emperor, who had personally destroyed the Xiao Clan, leaving Xiao Chen at a loss for what to do.

Xiao Yan, standing behind Xiao Chen, also had a complicated expression. His father had been captured by the Soul Clan for many years.

Although he has been released and even had his father promoted to the Douhuang realm for reasons he doesn't want to mention, he will never forget the hatred he has harbored for so many years.

"Xiao Chen, you haven't lost your elder brother's integrity after all. Seeing you gives me a feeling of seeing an old friend!"

The Soul Emperor, dressed in white, greeted Xiao Chen as if no one else was there, completely ignoring the ugly expression on the face of the Great Elder of the Demon Clan.

"Your name is Xiao Yan. Your use of the Xiao clan's markings has actually brought you close to a six-star Dou Sheng. Not bad. If we didn't need to join forces now, I would have killed you first!"

The Soul Emperor still wore a smile, appearing refined and amiable, but his words sent a chill down Xiao Yan's spine. He instantly snapped back to reality, feeling annoyed by his own fear.

That's understandable, after all, he's a peak nine-star Dou Sheng expert. If we disregard the extraterrestrial evil race and the two in the ancient emperor's cave, the Soul Emperor is the strongest expert on the Dou Qi Continent!

"Gu Yuan's daughter?" The Soul Emperor's gaze shifted to Gu Xun'er, who was standing beside Xiao Yan, looking at him coldly, but without any killing intent towards Xiao Yan. "A four-star Dou Sheng realm cultivator, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, not bad!"

"Why not marry into my Soul Clan and become one of us? If the Soul Clan becomes in-laws, then after I become Emperor, I can avoid the annihilation of the ancient clan!"

"Soul Emperor, my ancient clan's young lady is not someone you can arrange as you please!"

The three immortals of the ancient clan moved slightly, standing in front of their young lady, their faces solemn as they gazed at the Soul Emperor in the sky.

However, the Soul Emperor didn't even glance at them. In his eyes, apart from Gu Yuan, all the ancient clans were worthless bastards!

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, you Heavenly Emperor, you have insulted me so much today, but one day I will surely kill you!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and secretly made a vow in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. Now that he was mature, he naturally knew that it was not advisable to provoke the Soul Emperor at this time.

"Brother Gu Yuan, now that you're here, why not show yourself?"

At this moment, the Soul Emperor suddenly looked at a certain place in the void and smiled.

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

Wherever the Soul Emperor's gaze fell, the space suddenly rippled, and Gu Yuan's figure slowly appeared. Beside him, Lei Ying and Yan Jin stood with their hands behind their backs, their eyes filled with a hint of killing intent.

"Soul Emperor, you appear here alone, aren't you afraid we'll surround and kill you?"

"Lei Ying, you're still as reckless as ever," the Soul Emperor said, raising his gaze without fading his smile. "It's a pity your talent is lacking; in the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are ultimately respected!"

"Without reaching the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level, you have no right to speak here!"

Do you understand?

"you"

Lei Ying's face was full of anger, but he was helpless. If he angered the Soul Emperor and pushed him to the side of the extraterrestrial evil race, their combat strength here would be at a slight disadvantage.

"Brother Soul, why be angry?" Gu Yuan gestured to Lei Ying, taking over the conversation to prevent the roughneck from making any further foolish moves. "I suppose Void has been hiding in the shadows all along, hasn't it?"

Although it was a question, Gu Yuan's face showed a look of certainty, which made the Soul Emperor smile slightly.

"Since we're old friends, there's no need for further words. My Soul Clan has staked everything. Go back and prepare those pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!"

At this point, the smile on the Soul Emperor's face slowly faded, and he turned to look at the Great Elder of the Demon Clan in the sky, who for some reason remained silent.

"As for these guys, since we've been friends for years, I'll take care of them for you!"

"Since Brother Soul still remembers the deal, then we will await your arrival in Saint Pill City!"

With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuan created a spatial passage. Without hesitation, everyone stepped into it and left the place.

After watching Gu Yuan and his group disappear, the Soul Emperor waved his hand, and the four elders of the Soul Clan, Void Devouring Flame, and many other hidden powerhouses appeared.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

In the central square of Saint Dan City, a spatial passage leading to this place from an unknown source suddenly appeared. The Allied Battle Saints guarding this place immediately opened their eyes and looked at the people who were about to appear.

If anything goes wrong, he will immediately sound the alarm, at which point many Dou Sheng guarding the city of Shengdan will appear.

The protective formation of Saint Pill City, which had been modified by many imperial clans, immediately exerted its power, briefly suppressing the trespasser who dared to enter the place.

"Greetings, Chieftain, and all the seniors!"

With his white hair, Gu Tongxuan was considered a junior in front of Lei Yingyan and the others, but due to the difference in their cultivation levels, he appeared to be older.

"Elder Tongxuan, thank you for your hard work!"

Gu Yuan and his group slowly appeared, and greeted the Dou Sheng guarding the area with a smile.

"Hahaha, just guarding this place will grant me a Great Bodhi Pill, allowing me to break through to the Dou Sheng realm. Even if it means having Tong Xuan guard this place for a thousand years, I would be willing!"

Upon hearing Tongxuan's words, everyone responded with smiles. Indeed, with Tongxuan's talent and potential, if it weren't for obtaining a Great Bodhi Pill while guarding this place, he would most likely have stopped at the advanced semi-saint realm in his life.

The conversation with Tongxuan was just a brief interlude. After chatting for a few minutes, everyone entered the council hall and took their seats.

"Brother Gu Yuan, are we really going to gather the ancient jade of the Eight Clans of Tuoshe and open the ancient emperor's cave?"

Before he could even sit down properly, Lei Ying, being the impatient type, spoke first, in a hurried manner.

"The ancient emperor's cave must be opened!"

Gu Yuan was somewhat helpless with this impatient person. He clearly had the advantage, but he was hesitant at the moment. Could it be that Gu Yuan's indecisiveness had been transferred to him?

"The Soul Emperor's killing of the Demon Clan's Grand Elder has undoubtedly severed all ties with the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan. Furthermore, due to the Devouring Spirit King's secret technique, they are destined to be irreconcilable enemies!"

"He's really going all in now. If we don't open the Ancient Emperor's Cave now, knowing the Soul Emperor as I do, who knows what he might do!"

"Opening the ancient emperor's cave is not only the last resort for Soul Emperor, but also for us!"

Yan Jin suddenly spoke up, taking over the conversation. Everyone's eyes fell on him, and they saw that his face was full of solemnity.

"Oh?"

"Earlier, I don't know if you noticed the expression on that demon elder's face, but he didn't seem flustered at all."

What does this mean?

Lei Ying looked puzzled; he had never been good at these subtle observations.

"Under such circumstances, he was certain to die, yet he showed no fear whatsoever, and the way he looked at us seemed to be the same way he would look at a dead man!"

"Considering that the Demon Lord and Demon Queen haven't shown themselves for many years," Yan Jin's voice unconsciously deepened, "I wonder if the number of lives they've devoured in recent years is enough for them to break through to a realm comparable to a Dou Di?"

"If that's truly the case, then our only option is to open the ancient emperor's cave and obtain the legacy of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, only then will we have the means to fight against him!"

"In that case, the Soul Emperor might have already realized this, which is why he agreed to our conditions!"

A thoughtful look appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes, but at that moment Lei Ying suddenly slammed his hand on the table, startling him awake.

"Damn it, if that's really the case, then we're asking the Soul Emperor to kill five Seven-Star Dou Sheng level demons before we can gather the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. Wouldn't that waste several years?"

Everyone was taken aback, then realized that it seemed to make sense.

"That's not necessarily the case," Gu Yuan said slowly, calming the somewhat agitated emotions of the crowd. "If the Soul Emperor doesn't take action to kill the extraterrestrial evil race, it's indeed hard to guarantee that he won't fall into the arms of the demons."

"I know the Soul Emperor all too well. He appears gentle and refined on the surface, but he's more ruthless than anyone else when it comes to becoming a Dou Di!"

"Back then, he risked everything to kill Xiao Xuan, partly because he feared that Xiao Xuan, after recovering from his injuries, would unify the Dou Qi Continent as a half-emperor."

"The more important reason is that he knows this is his only chance to obtain the key information for breaking through to the Dou Di realm from Xiao Xuan!"

"Even if it means gambling with the fate of the Soul Clan!"

At this point, Gu Yuan suddenly fell silent. Back then, he and Xiao Xuan had some affection for each other, but due to some ulterior motives, he watched the Xiao clan be destroyed.

Now, inside this main hall, there are not only Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan, two members of the Xiao clan, but also Xiao Yan, that little rascal, who has offered his little cabbage.

This is undeniably ironic!

"There is no need for everyone to worry too much. We have Brother Gu Yuan, Princess Zi Yan, and the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder who is about to recover his strength."

Seeing that everyone was still somewhat worried, Gu Yuan had no choice but to speak up to boost the morale of the allied forces.

"So even if the Soul Clan and the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan join forces, we won't be much weaker!"

"Moreover," Gu Yuan smiled slightly, his hands behind his back, he himself was extremely confident that he could overcome this major crisis.

"Lin Feng has been inside the Heavenly Tomb for over a year, and he still hasn't been expelled. This means his power has reached the nine-star level!"

"Once he emerges from seclusion, he will become another supreme powerhouse capable of deciding the course of the battle. The scales of victory are already tipping in our favor!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, you've actually reached this level?"

In a high position in the main hall, Xiao Yan muttered to himself, feeling immense pressure.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Seemingly sensing Xiao Yan's pressure, Xun'er placed her soft hand in his and held it tightly.

"Little sister Xun'er!"

Gu Yuan, who was sitting at the head of the main hall, inadvertently witnessed this scene. His lips twitched slightly for a moment, and he could only turn his head away. The deed was done, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"I didn't expect Lin Feng's cultivation level to have already reached the nine-star level?"

"This is an unimaginable prodigy. Perhaps even Lin Feng could become the next Dou Di after the ancient emperor Tuoshe!"

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent. Everyone exchanged glances, each feeling speechless.

Gu Yuan observed this situation and muttered to himself.

"A Dou Di after the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe? Lin Feng, your chances might actually be greater than mine!"

A long-hidden message resurfaced in Gu Yuan's mind, like an ancient dragon of the Void stretching across the sky.

"Dragon Emperor Zhukun!"
