Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Standing beneath this towering stone gate, many powerful Dou Sheng experts at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent couldn't help but feel incredibly insignificant!

"call"

Lin Feng exhaled a breath of stale air, gently extended his right hand, and the gathered Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade appeared in his palm.

"Soul Emperor, watch closely!"

Whether out of kindness or something else, Lin Feng kindly reminded the Soul Emperor and his group before pressing the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand against the stone door.

"Boom!"

As if a god had created the heavens, the tens of thousands of feet tall stone gate began to emit a glow. Then, as if a sesame seed had been opened, the stone gate, which had been tightly closed for tens of thousands of years, suddenly burst open!

"Rush!"

Upon seeing the ancient emperor's cave fully open, the Soul Emperor could no longer restrain himself. He exchanged a glance with a cloaked figure behind him radiating a devouring aura, and charged straight toward the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

"kill!"

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Feng, who had been standing still for some reason, suddenly burst into a loud shout after the stone door opened.

"Five Elements Grand Seal!"

"The Returning Origin Divine Needle!"

"Ancient Emperor Mirror!"

"Dragon and Phoenix Town World!"

A jet-black needle, invisible to the naked eye and difficult to detect with soul power, shot out towards the Soul Emperor in an instant.

"ah"

With the pure Yang soul power of the Emperor Realm, he unleashed the strongest secret technique of the Great Sage Guiyuan, and instantly, the Soul Emperor let out a shrill scream.

The figure that was originally moving forward at high speed suddenly stood frozen in place, and the vast energy burst out uncontrollably. The expressions of Void Devouring Flame and others beside him changed drastically.

Before they could react, Gu Yuan and the others unleashed their attacks one after another. A terrifying Emperor Realm expert shot out an energy pillar nearly ten thousand feet long, and the five elements energy in the world transformed into a five-colored hand nearly ten thousand feet long, which slammed down on the group.

Zi Yan summoned the phantom of a dragon and phoenix, and the terrifying supreme dragon and phoenix fiercely suppressed the group.

"roar"

A deafening dragon roar, seemingly suppressed for ten thousand years, emanated from within the stone gate before anyone could react.

A tall, middle-aged man clad in a golden robe appeared instantly before the Soul Emperor, whose mind was buzzing, unleashing boundless energy.

"Hahahaha, so you are the Soul Emperor! Take this strike from the Void Dragon Emperor Seal!"

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has mastered the ultimate realm of space, not to mention the person in front of them, who is the emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Even Zi Yan, who has achieved the body of a dragon and phoenix, cannot compare to him in terms of the use of space at her current level.

The many Dou Sheng powerhouses of the Soul Clan were even more furious, watching with bloodshot eyes as Zhu Kun's sandbag-sized dragon claw slammed into the unsuspecting Soul Emperor.

"ah"

An even more piercing scream came from the Soul Emperor's mouth, and everyone who heard it felt a chill run down their spines as their physical bodies withstood the full force of the Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Void.

I'm afraid even a legendary Dou Di would be harmed.

"Void, let's go!"

Thanks to Zhu Kun's attack, the immense physical pain also awakened the Soul Emperor from the agony of his soul. Upon seeing this situation, he did not hesitate for a moment and immediately decided to retreat.

"Soul Emperor, you can't just leave!"

"Ancient Emperor Mirror!"

They usually addressed each other as brothers, but when Gu Yuan saw an opportunity to completely kill the Soul Emperor, he was more ruthless than anyone else.

The Emperor Realm soul clone appeared beside them, and the two of them used the Ancient Emperor Mirror. Terrifying energy burst out from the void world within the mirror and fiercely bombarded the Soul Emperor and his group.

"Five Elements Grand Seal!"

"."

Not only Gu Yuan, but Lin Feng and the others also used their best skills upon seeing this, not letting go of this opportunity that could potentially annihilate the Soul Clan.

"Gu Yuan, you've won this time, but I, the Soul Emperor, haven't lost yet. You just wait!"

"Void, self-destruct your Emperor-level soul, now!"

The Soul Emperor's eyes were filled with madness, and a blood-red light flickered slightly in his palm, making the Void Devouring Flame beside him tremble with fear.

"Damn it, if I don't do as this madman says, won't that Emperor-Slaying Demon Blood Blade be aimed at me?!"

The Void Devouring Flame's expression also turned crazed. "Soul Emperor, you'll regret this someday!"

A ball of pitch-black flame was spat out by the Void Devouring Flame. Even the soul itself carried the essence of devouring, piercing through the void and flying rapidly toward Lin Feng and the others.

"Soul clone, explode!"

"Retreat immediately!"

Lin Feng's expression changed drastically. The self-destruction of an Emperor Realm soul was extremely powerful, and even they could not stop it without injury.

"Five Elements Barrier, activate!"

Endless magma rapidly converged on this spot, and the vast fire-attribute energy was used by Lin Feng, transforming into a magma wall tens of thousands of feet high, enveloping Lin Feng and his group.

"Boom boom boom"

The greatest sound is silent. The terrifying explosion instantly tore apart the surrounding magma. Lin Feng's expression was serious. He unleashed his fighting spirit as if he didn't need any pills. Gu Yuan and the others also used their own methods to reinforce the magma wall.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, countless magmas were instantly evaporated, and the land above the magma was completely blasted apart, creating a void zone spanning thousands of miles.

After an unknown amount of time, the aftershocks of the explosion gradually subsided, and magma from thousands of miles away began to flow violently into the magma cavern, like seawater pouring in.

The terrifying lava flow was enough to vaporize even a high-level Dou Zun!

"call"

A full half hour later, the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, and Lin Feng and the others finally dispelled their defenses. Looking at the magma-covered land in front of them, where the Emperor-level soul had self-destructed, a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.

"The self-destruction of an Emperor-level soul is truly terrifying!"

"Indeed, if it weren't for you few nine-star Dou Sheng, we would have been severely injured, if not dead!"

As the Heaven-Burning Flame receded into his body, Yan Jin showed a look of lingering fear, while a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.

"We must enter the Soul Emperor Realm!"

"Look, the methods of a Dou Di are truly extraordinary!"

Just then, someone suddenly pointed to the tens of thousands of feet tall stone gate that still stood in the void, their tone filled with a hint of amazement.

The sages had long ago discerned that the material of this tens of thousands of feet long stone gate was merely ordinary stone; if it were auctioned off, it would probably fetch less than 100,000 gold coins.

However, even the self-destruction of an Emperor-level soul could leave it completely unharmed under the immense power of a Dou Di, which is truly terrifying!

"That old fellow, Tuoshegudi, does have some tricks up his sleeve!"

For reasons unknown, Zhu Kun suddenly began praising the strength of Emperor Tuoshe.

"What a joke! If this guy wasn't strong, how could his cave have trapped me for so long?"

"What's the point of saying all this here? The opportunity to become a Dou Di is right before our eyes. Let's hurry inside!"

Lei Ying, who was already somewhat impatient, became even more restless in the face of the opportunity to become a Dou Di, rubbing his hands together and eager to try his luck.

"That old fellow, Emperor Tuoshe, did indeed leave behind an opportunity within that could allow someone to become an emperor. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen for his trap!"

"snort!"

Zi Yan suddenly snorted, causing Zhu Kun, who had been trying to appear aloof, to tremble. However, upon sensing the aura of his beloved daughter, he was still incredulous.

"A Seven-Star Dou Sheng, still possessing such an aura? Why does it subtly exert a sense of pressure on me?"

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, what do you mean?"

Gu Yuan's expression shifted; with Zhu Kun's confirmation, a burning desire rose within him.

Among the nine-star peak Dou Sheng of the allied forces, only he and Zhu Kun are present. If there is indeed a Dou Di inheritance among them, then his priority would be among the highest.

After all, with the threat of the extraterrestrial evil race looming ahead, whoever becomes emperor now will inherit the throne!

"Do you know that three conditions must be met to become a Dou Di?"

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, which three are they?"

Lei Ying looked somewhat anxious. Logically speaking, even if the imperial clan had not produced any more Dou Dis since their progenitor Dou Di, they should still know the conditions for becoming an emperor.

However, the truth is that even Xiao Xuan, who was the strongest back then, still did not know the reason for becoming an emperor. If he had known the secret of the Origin Qi, he probably would not have gathered the bloodline power of the Xiao clan and gone all out!

Ultimately, the cauldron broke, and if Xiao Yan later became emperor, the boat would also sink completely.

"To become a Dou Di, one must first reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and one's soul must also enter the Emperor realm," Zhu Kun glanced at the Lei Clan giant whose physique was no less than his own, but paid him no further attention.

In his mind, the Thunder Clan was nothing more than a small clan!

"However, none of these are the most important. Without that final substance, no matter how exceptional your talent, you will be stuck at the Half-Emperor realm, unable to advance an inch!"

At this point, Zhu Kun suddenly looked at his precious daughter, his tone hesitant. Clearly, he had already recognized what the oppressive aura emanating from Zi Yan was.

"Supreme Dragon Phoenix, my precious daughter has such good fortune! I must get that Emperor-grade embryonic pill; it belongs to Zi Yan!"

"What kind of substance is that?"

Even Gu Yuan was somewhat excited at this moment.

"The source, or rather, the source energy!"

"Could this opportunity left behind by the ancient Emperor Tuoshe be the most important substance for becoming an emperor—the Origin Qi?"

"That's right, behind the stone gate lies the Emperor-grade embryonic pill refined by that old fellow, containing the most crucial source energy for becoming an Emperor!"

Seeing the many Battle Saints with burning gazes, Zhu Kun suddenly sneered, with a hint of disdain.

"Those who haven't reached the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng shouldn't even think about competing for the Emperor-grade embryonic pill," Zhu Kun explained proactively before anyone could ask.

"You should all know that once a pill reaches the eighth grade, its spiritual essence is sufficient to take form; if it reaches the ninth grade, it can even transform into a true living being!"

"And do you think he'll just surrender so easily with this Emperor-grade pill?"

"Brother Zhukun, what is the strength of that Emperor-grade embryonic core?"

"A half-emperor," Zhu Kun hesitated for a moment, then continued, "should be the weakest half-emperor. If you and I join forces, and with their help, we should be able to take them down!"

"Let's not delay any longer; let's enter the true ancient emperor's cave!"

At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly interrupted everyone, intending to set off. At the same time, several streams of information appeared and flew to the front of Zhu Kun Gu Yuan and Zi Yan.

"This is the Five Elements Creation and Destruction Refining Heaven Ancient Array, capable of gathering the power of the five of us. It's just a single pill; I refuse to believe it can overturn the heavens!"

"Please wait a moment, everyone!"

Just then, Yao Dan, who was among the crowd, finally spoke up after struggling for a long time.

"Brother Yaodan?"

"Gentlemen, if the opportunity left behind by Emperor Tuoshe is indeed a nascent Emperor-grade pill, then I believe I can still offer you some assistance!"

After making the decision, Yao Dan didn't keep anyone in suspense. With a flick of his finger, a vast stream of information appeared in the minds of several people who possessed the power of a nine-star Dou Sheng.

"This is the secret technique of the Medicine Emperor Ancestor for collecting elixirs. I hope you all succeed!"

"The Medicine Emperor's Secret Technique?"

Lin Feng, sensing the information in his mind, suddenly paused, "Yes, the Medicine Emperor, the Medicine Emperor, clearly a Dou Di who is proficient in alchemy!"

"In terms of achievements in alchemy, the Medicine Emperor might even surpass that of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe!"

"Thank you!"

"No need for further explanation, it's only natural!"

Let's go!

"puff"

In the Soul Realm, the Soul Emperor and his entourage suddenly tore open a spatial rift and appeared inside the main hall.

Upon landing, Soul Emperor Yu Wuwu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale.

"Quickly, Clan Chief, Lord Void, these are two Grade Nine Profound Pills that I have treasured. Consume them immediately!"

After landing, Hun Xuzi finally realized what was happening and quickly took out two black dragons from his storage ring, giving them to the two of them to consume.

"Bang!"

The energy of the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill was indeed remarkable. After taking it, the two men's pale faces instantly returned to normal. Then, to everyone's astonishment, the Soul Emperor slammed his palm on the throne beneath him.

"Damn Gu Yuan, how could he be so insidious? He must have known about the Ancient Void Dragon in the Ancient Emperor's cave all along!"

"And then there's Lin Feng," the Soul Emperor said, a hint of lingering fear still visible on his face.

"Where did he get this soul attack technique? Even my Emperor-level soul was completely deprived of its perception after being hit!"

Below the main hall, many elders of the Soul Clan were also incredulous. Who was the Soul Emperor? He was someone who dared to fight Xiao Xuan to the death, yet he had been defeated today!

"Clan leader, now that the Emperor-grade embryonic pill has surely fallen into the hands of Gu Yuan and his group, what should we do?"

After a long while, a being filled with an aura of death spoke. It seemed to be a hidden powerhouse of the Soul Clan, whose aura was even slightly above that of the Four Demon Saints!

"Send their message to the extraterrestrial evil race!"

A ruthless glint flashed across the Soul Emperor's face. "If I can't have it, then Gu Yuan and the others can forget about having it either!"

"It won't be easy for Gu Yuan and the others to obtain a nascent Emperor-grade pill. Even if they did, the sheer amount of energy would be too much for anyone below the Half-Emperor level to refine!"

"Whoever dares to try will be burst apart by that immense power—this is my chance!"

"As long as I can reach the Half-Emperor realm before then, the Emperor-grade embryonic core will still be mine, and the position of Dou Di will also be mine!"

"But clan leader, this is the realm of a half-emperor?"

Soul Slayer asked, a hint of confusion on his face.

"Have you forgotten how Xiao Xuan became a half-emperor back then?"

A hint of crimson flashed in the eyes of the Soul Emperor. He suddenly stood up and looked at the people in the hall with a blank expression.

"Void, elders, surely you will support me?"
