Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Outside Saint Pill City, a figure clad in a black robe appeared, his aura fluctuating slightly.

A somewhat pale face appeared. If Dan Yan were here, he would recognize it as his greatest enemy—Hun Xuzi!

"The clan leader actually sent me on this mission. If that Dan Yan guy catches me, I might suffer a lot!"

The news from his clan flashed through his mind: thousands of years later, this old fellow who had been hiding his true nature to the extreme had actually broken through to the Seven Star Dou Sheng realm with the help of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

"With that old guy's legacy, Seven-Star Dou Sheng is definitely not Dan Yan's limit. Damn it, looks like I'll have to avoid him from now on!"

Shaking his head, Hun Xuzi stopped thinking about these things and instantly appeared in the sky above Saint Pill City, his aura as a Seven-Star Dou Sheng was not concealed at all.

"Who is it?"

In the central square of Saint Dan City, Elder Tongxuan, who was guarding the area, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted towards the sky.

At the same time, the auras of many Battle Saints in Saint Pill City soared into the sky, and many Battle Saints also flew out from the many Imperial Realms hidden near Saint Pill City.

"So it's you, little brat. After all these years, you've only just reached the Dou Sheng realm? What a waste!"

Looking at Gu Tongxuan, who was sweating profusely in front of him, Hun Xuzi sized him up and down a few times before finally giving a disdainful evaluation.

"Hun Xuzi, you actually ventured into this place alone. Are you truly not afraid of death?"

Sensing the arrival of many Battle Saints within Saint Pill City, Gu Tongxuan gradually regained his composure. Even if this Soul Void Child was strong, with the clan leader and many other powerful figures present, he couldn't cause any trouble.

"Greetings, Clan Chief Gu Yuan!"

Just then, Hun Xuzi's expression turned solemn, and he bowed slightly to the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared not far in front of him, with a hint of respect on his face.

"Hun Xuzi, did Brother Hun send you?"

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan is incredibly resourceful," Hun Xuzi said, offering a small compliment for fear that Gu Yuan might casually wipe him out. He then quickly took out several coffins from his storage ring.

With a wave of his hand, he lifted the coffin lid, revealing the contents inside.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, you sent me here to deliver a message!"

"Oh?"

"The corpses of five demons of the seventh star or higher have arrived. When will the ancient Emperor Tuoshe reunite?"

"Haha, Brother Hun is indeed a man of integrity," Gu Yuan laughed and nodded slightly in a direction outside Zhongzhou. "Now that Brother Hun has fulfilled the conditions, Gu Yuan can take out the Emperor Jade at any time."

"How about we set the date for three months from now?"

"As Brother Gu Yuan said, we will reunite at the Imperial Jade three months later and open the Ancient Emperor's Cave!"

From the depths of the void, the voice of the Soul Emperor slowly echoed, and at the same time, the figure of Soul Void Child slowly disappeared.

Gu Yuan watched all of this without intervening, and Dan Yan and the other members of the Pill Tower who were secretly watching did not rush out to question Gu Yuan about why he did not take action.

With a formidable enemy at hand, victory is the only option; this hatred can be postponed for a while.

"Moreover, the longer we postpone it, the more advantageous it will be for me!"

Dan Yan murmured to himself, "It's almost time. Just give me another hundred years, and I can break through to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm in one fell swoop!"

"How dare you!"

Above the pitch-black hall, a bewitching and alluring figure, dressed in a long black patterned dress, shattered the throne beneath her with a single palm strike.

"The Soul Clan dared to join forces with them to kill the Grand Elder and the others. Did they really think that the sliver of soul blood they possessed would allow them to do whatever they pleased?"

"Queen, please calm your anger!"

"Soul Emperor, that's quite something. Originally, the Demon Lord wanted him to be our clan's dog, but now it seems he doesn't even want to be a dog anymore!"

"Give the order: my men, retreat to the Demon Abyss! The moment the Demon Lord emerges from seclusion will be the end of the Dou Qi Continent!"

"yes!"

Outside, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, but inside the Heavenly Tomb, nearly nine months had passed thanks to the miraculous methods of the unknown Dou Di.

At the center of the Heavenly Tomb, a massive array tens of thousands of feet in size was still slowly operating.

Around the great formation, the four figures of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xiao Xuan, Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and Yellow Spring Demon Saint no longer poured energy into the formation.

In the very center of the great formation, a colossal figure, over nine hundred feet tall, stood cross-legged in the void.

With his eyes closed, upon closer inspection, he was indeed a magnified version of Lin Feng.

"So much time has passed, Lin Feng, has he still not broken through to the Emperor Realm Soul stage?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint murmured softly, somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, with Lin Feng's talent and such a massive amount of soul essence, Lin Feng should have already entered the Emperor Realm.

"Jinglian, look closely at the soul's physical body!"

In another corner of the great formation, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint slowly opened his eyes and gave a reminder.

"Oh?"

"The prodigies of ancient times truly exceeded our expectations!"

The soul has always been the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's forte; however, in the face of the ancient sages, he had no choice but to admit defeat!

"Both of us have achieved the Soul Emperor Realm and have continued to walk within the Emperor Realm for a long time. However, even you and I, or Brother Xiao Xuan, have souls filled with a kind of cold and gloomy aura."

"This is due to the inherent properties of the soul itself, but Lin Feng's soul has completely shed this aura, giving people a gentle feeling, as if it were a real physical body!"

"Furthermore, Lin Feng's combat power in the realm of his soul surpasses that of his physical body!"

"Although this is because Lin Feng lacks the time to mature and hasn't truly elevated his skills to the peak below the Dou Di level!"

"However, I have a feeling that all of this is due to the changes in his soul!"

"The Great Sage of Returning to Origin truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful being capable of fighting to the death against an Emperor after burning his very essence!"

A jet-black divine needle slowly emerged in front of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, clearly indicating that Lin Feng had also passed on this secret technique to several people.

"Moreover," the Yellow Spring Demon Saint slowly raised his right hand, the aura there seemingly somewhat similar to the thousand-foot-tall soul body of Lin Feng, "I have a feeling that if I could completely cleanse the soul of its yin energy..."

"Even with our remaining essence, even without relying on the methods of a Dou Di, we can still be resurrected and transformed into another strange creature!"

"I will call it," a vague feeling arose in the Yellow Springs Demon Saint's mind, and he blurted out, "Ghost!"

"demon"

"boom"

Just then, a mysterious fluctuation, like the tolling of a great bell, resounded throughout the Heavenly Tomb!

"This kind of fluctuation?"

The group looked up and saw that the figure, which was over nine hundred feet tall, suddenly shrank to the size of an ordinary person. Then, it suddenly expanded again, reaching a size of a thousand feet in just a few breaths!

The colossal, thousand-foot-tall giant had its eyes closed, yet its majestic aura leaked out without any attempt to suppress it. In the vast three-tiered celestial tomb, apart from the four figures, everyone else involuntarily knelt down.

"An Emperor-level Soul!"

The colossal giant muttered to himself, stirring up towering waves in the sky, causing countless energies to surge violently.

"Lin Feng, congratulations on your soul reaching the Emperor Realm! You are only one step away from becoming a Dou Di!"

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint laughed heartily. The sooner Lin Feng became a Dou Di, the faster they could be resurrected, and they could also fulfill that final regret—becoming a Dou Di!

As for transforming into that ghost? If you can be a human, why would you want to be a ghost?

"Brother Huangquan, you flatter me!"

"Hahaha, peak eight-star Dou Sheng! Only the accumulation of energy is needed to advance to the nine-star realm!"

Xiao Xuan stepped into the void and described Lin Feng's current state.

"The moment your soul entered the Emperor Realm, it surpassed our accumulated strength over many years. Your current combat power is extremely close to our peak!"

"good!"

"Invincible below the level of a demigod?"

Lin Feng murmured to himself, suddenly recalling the vast and boundless Ancient Dragon of the Void within the Ancient Emperor's Cave. Now, when he recalled it, he no longer felt the same powerlessness he had felt before!

"I wonder if, with this secret soul technique, I can defeat Uncle Zhukun?"

"Are you referring to the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?" Xiao Xuan's eyes showed a hint of thought before he answered, "The Xiao Clan also has records of this being."

The group's attention was drawn to him, and Lin Feng gradually dispersed his thousand-foot-long soul body, walking up to them.

"As everyone knows, the physical bodies of the magical beast race are always the strongest among those of the same level. Correspondingly, their souls are much weaker than those of humans, especially alchemists among humans!"

"However, the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan seems to be an exception!"

"Since the Xiao Clan's Dou Di, every Dragon Emperor seems to have possessed a soul capable of reaching the Emperor Realm. Therefore, the weaknesses of magical beasts do not exist in them!"

Just then, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something, recalling a conversation Zi Yan had once unintentionally had with him.

"Hehe, Little Fengzi, don't think that just because you're an alchemist, your strength will always surpass mine!"

"Our Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is without any flaws!"

Lin Feng did not say these words. After all, this was a secret of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Zi Yan told him this because she trusted him, and he could not reveal it!

Even if Zi Yan didn't explicitly tell him!

"Lin Feng, you've been inside the Heavenly Tomb for quite some time now. I wonder what's happening outside?"

Seemingly aware that this was a secret of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint took the initiative to change the subject.

"According to the rules of the Heavenly Tomb, nearly four months have passed in the outside world. You should return as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Lin Feng nodded, then gave a mysterious smile.

"However, before that, I could try to gain control of this Heavenly Tomb!"

"Having five times more time to cultivate—that could be the key to turning the tide in a crucial moment!"

"Control of the Heavenly Tomb? I never expected that refining the soul of the Heavenly Tomb would bring such a good thing!"

After a while, Lin Feng opened his eyes, and a spatial rift appeared. He took a step and disappeared into the Heavenly Tomb.

"Is there only a little over a month left before the ancient emperor's cave is opened?"

In the small courtyard where Lin Feng lived in the Central Plains Holy Pill City, after meeting many old acquaintances from Canaan Academy and the Gama Empire, he returned to this place.

Beside him were Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian and the other girls, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hehe, Xiaofengzi, don't worry!"

Although her body was fully mature, Zi Yan still retained her mischievous personality. At this moment, she patted Lin Feng's shoulder.

A mischievous thought popped into Zi Yan's head, and she excitedly waved her little fists, "So awesome! I can finally call out 'Little Fengzi'!"

"This old lady has already cultivated to the mid-stage of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm. Those so-called Soul Emperors and extraterrestrial evil races, I can kill them all with one punch!"

"From now on, you lot will be under Miss Ziyan's protection!"

Miss Ziyan flicked her little nose and swung her little fists fiercely at the void a few times. The space in a certain part of the Central Plains seemed unable to withstand this terrifying power and exploded with a bang.

The people in the courtyard stared blankly at Zi Yan's fair fist, remaining silent for a long time.

"Uh, haha."

Once she realized what was happening, Zi Yan quickly laughed it off to cover up her embarrassment.

"Sister Xian'er, it seems you've encountered some extraordinary opportunity during your seclusion!"

Seeing Zi Yan's flustered state, the group smiled knowingly and smoothly changed the subject.

"It's nothing much," Little Fairy Doctor gently raised her jade hand, and black Netherworld Poison Fire rose from her hand. "Deep in the Desolate Ancient Domain, there is also a poisonous tide hidden."

"In terms of energy level, this is comparable to a terrifying poisonous creature ranked close to seventh on the list of strange flames. If it weren't for Qing Lin's assistance, and the Jade Netherworld Poison Flame's ability to restrain poisonous creatures, it would be a disaster!"

"I'm afraid it might not be possible to subdue and refine it!"

"Thus, I have also entered the realm of a three-star Dou Sheng. It's a pity that you all progressed too quickly."

At this point, Little Fairy Doctor's face showed a hint of helplessness, even though she was already considered the strongest and fastest-improving among all known calamity poison bodies in history.

Unfortunately, they are still far inferior to Ziyan and the others.

"Sister Xian'er, Qing Lin is currently the one with the lowest cultivation level!"

Qinglin, standing to the side, was even more frustrated. She had originally thought that with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's full support, she could become the strongest among them and have a good time playing the big sister's tricks.

Seeing Qinglin pouting, everyone smiled knowingly.

"Qinglin, you are now not far from becoming a three-star Dou Sheng. When I have time, I will refine a ninth-grade treasure pill for you."

"It's a pity that the snake race on the Dou Qi Continent is too weak, wasting the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil's talent!"

The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is a physical eye technique that can grow without limit, or rather, has an extremely high growth ceiling, simply by devouring serpent-type magical beasts.

Perhaps, in this vast world, it would also shine brightly!

"The snake race on the Dou Qi Continent isn't weak either. Would you like to give them a try?"

Just as Lin Feng was pondering which snake-like magical beasts existed in the Great Thousand World that he could capture to help Qing Lin win easily, a sinister voice sounded behind her.

Lin Feng immediately sensed something was wrong and was about to speak when he was enveloped by a soft sensation.

"Sisters, tonight, let's drain him dry!"
