Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

The most evil demonic fetus, Xiao Yan inside the ten-thousand-foot-tall ancient emperor statue, the supreme dragon-phoenix, a magical beast nurtured by numerous imperial clans with all their resources, and the Soul Emperor, who is even more insane than Xiao Xuan a thousand years ago!

Finally, there's Lin Feng inside the Heavenly Tomb, who's fully devouring and refining the gift from the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe!

All five are making progress against the clock. Everyone knows that whichever force can reach the level of Half-Emperor or even Battle Emperor first will ultimately win!

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, the massive Five Elements Creation and Destruction Refining Heaven Ancient Array, tens of thousands of feet in size, was still operating at full speed.

With the support of Xiao Xuan, Bodhi Ancient Tree, Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and Yellow Spring Demon Saint—all of whom were either currently or in their previous lives at the level of a half-Emperor—Lin Feng's aura rose rapidly as if he were riding a rocket!

A month has passed in the outside world, and under the magical rules of the Heavenly Tomb, Lin Feng has been in seclusion for more than a month.

Aside from briefly pausing when using the authority of the Lord of the Heavenly Tomb to open the Heavenly Tomb and bring in Zi Yan and Dan Yan, he was otherwise focused on breaking through the barrier with all his might!

"As early as three months ago, Lin Feng's aura had already surpassed the threshold of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and now it has even reached the mid-stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!"

At one corner of the grand formation, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint looked at Lin Feng, who was enveloped in a lotus of flames in the center of the formation and whose aura was constantly changing, and revealed a hint of anticipation.

"The Fiery Lotus Pod that Emperor Tuoshe gave to Lin Feng has only decreased by less than one-tenth. I wonder if he will have a chance to reach the realm we were in our previous lives once he has fully refined it!"

"A half-Emperor! The strongest being below the Dou Di level. Even a brief stay here is enough to feel that power that seems capable of destroying the world!"

Xiao Xuan sighed slightly. A thousand years ago, he relied on the power of the bloodline of the entire Xiao clan to establish himself at the half-emperor level. It was when he felt the endless energy filling his body that he felt invincible!

In short, he got cocky!

If he had been able to maintain his composure at that time and not attempt to reach the Dou Di realm, with the lifespan of a half-Emperor, even if the bloodline of the Xiao clan had been completely gathered into his body at that time.

With a half-emperor at its helm, the Xiao Clan remains the uncrowned king of the Dou Qi Continent!

"The news brought by Dan Yan and the others says that the Soul Emperor is also using your trick, gathering all the bloodline power within his clan!"

Pure Lotus Demon Saint took over the conversation. Besides possessing strength that was equally unparalleled in the Dou Qi Continent, this Demon Saint clearly preferred to think.

"In fact, according to that guy Void Devouring Flame, the Soul Emperor even set up the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array in the Soul Clan."

"Anyone who dares to defy him will have not only their bloodline power, but also their very soul essence and all the essence of their flesh and blood devoured!"

At this point, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint suddenly paused, then turned to look in Xiao Xuan's direction, her gaze carrying a somewhat inexplicable meaning.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Xuan, you didn't do the same thing back then, did you?"

"Forehead,"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan, who was operating the formation, was speechless. Looking at the sudden change in the style of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, he suddenly wanted to test what kind of methods the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, who was famous throughout the Dou Qi Continent, had!

"Hahaha, Xiao Xuan, you're so boring!"

Seeing this, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint laughed heartily, "We are all in the same boat. As half-emperors, besides the satisfaction brought by the supreme power of heaven and earth, we also feel a deep loneliness!"

"If it weren't for Lin Feng, we would never have met, and we wouldn't have this opportunity to fight the heavens again today!"

"The thought of regaining my physical body and even reaching the Dou Di realm makes me laugh in my sleep!"

"Brother Huang Quan, once we cultivators reach the Great Dou Master level, we generally replace sleep entirely with cultivation and stop dreaming!"

Xiao Xuan suddenly spoke, and the content of his words left the Yellow Spring Demon Saint stunned for a long time. It wasn't until he saw the suppressed smile on Xiao Xuan's lips that he suddenly understood!

"Well, Xiao Xuan, so you're the kind of man who's secretly charming but actually secretly passionate. I really misjudged you!"

Xiao Xuan, who had been secretly laughing, suddenly lost his composure, his energy surging wildly as if he were about to unleash a devastating attack.

"You're the one who's secretly passionate!"

"Hahaha, the reserved Xiao Xuan, he's killing me with laughter!"

"Splash!"

Upon hearing this, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint could no longer suppress his laughter and burst out laughing. At the same time, a light flashed in the palm of his hand behind his back, revealing the content of the conversation between the two.

"Xiao Xuan, Brother Huang Quan, I'll keep track of your weaknesses for now. You'll surely agree to any strange requests I make later, right?"

"You won't agree? If you don't want a certain Dou Di who will one day dominate the Dou Qi Continent to be a secretly lecherous man in private!"

Hehehe

Meanwhile, the ancient Bodhi tree in another corner of the formation saw the group laughing. Although it didn't understand what they meant, if it looked closely, it would be astonishing to find that the faces of the people on its trunk were actually close to those of a human child of twelve or thirteen years old.

Clearly, the Bodhi tree's intelligence has rapidly increased during this period!

"Buzz"

The fiery lotus within the Five Elements Creation and Destruction Refining Heaven Array seemed to have noticed this interesting scene and began to sway slightly.

After the joke, the group closed their eyes and focused all their energy on operating the formation, trying to get Lin Feng to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm as soon as possible, or even the Half-Emperor realm!

At that time, one can use the source energy left by the Bodhi Ancient Tree to try to break through to the Dou Di realm, which has not appeared in the Dou Qi Continent for tens of thousands of years!

Outside the great formation, Blood Blade, wielding a ghost-headed broadsword, wearing a blood-red cloak and a mysterious bamboo hat, stood in the void, gazing up at the sky-covering formation in the distance, and muttering to himself.

"Lord Lin Feng, I hope you will break through to that supreme realm soon. At that time, perhaps my Blood Blade will once again dominate the Dou Qi Continent!"

After these individuals went into seclusion, the entire Dou Qi Continent seemed to fall into silence. However, any cultivator with foresight was aware of this.

When one of them emerges from seclusion, the existing order of the Dou Qi Continent will be completely shattered!

The many Battle Saints within Saint Pill City clearly hoped that a Half Emperor, or even a Battle Emperor, would emerge from their side first!

Time flies by so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's already March!

Three months later, every corner of the Soul Realm was filled with a thick, bloody mist, almost condensing into bloody raindrops!

This shows just how many beings in the Soul Realm were killed by the Soul Emperor during this period. In fact, some powerful members of the Soul Clan who believed in the Soul Emperor went berserk in the end!

Even their own descendants were killed by numerous executioners who had lost their minds, and countless screams echoed throughout the soul realm.

In a short period of time, the Soul Clan, which numbered in the tens of millions, was reduced to less than a million, demonstrating the madness of the Soul Clan.

The instigator of all this, the Soul Emperor, still stood atop the highest mountain in the Soul Realm, expressionless as he surveyed the land and rivers of the Soul Realm. His eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, only one sentence echoing in his heart.

"I will definitely succeed. Just because Xiao Xuan can't do it doesn't mean I can't. As long as I become a half-emperor and seize the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, the gate to becoming a Dou Di will have already opened for me!"

"Only by becoming a Dou Di can the Soul Clan truly achieve immortality. Your sacrifices are worthwhile!"

The Soul Emperor's idea clearly gained the approval of many people. In fact, some members of the Soul Clan who were just as fanatical as him killed all their relatives before the executioner's blade fell on their heads. They knelt on one knee before the Soul Emperor on the mountaintop and then took their own lives!

Only at this moment did the Soul Emperor nod slightly, as if silently conveying something!

"That's enough!"

Just then, a cold voice echoed in the minds of the many executioners, suppressing them on the spot. The crimson blood in their eyes gradually faded, and when they came to their senses, they saw the changes in the Soul Realm.

"No, how could this be? This can't be real!"

Some powerful individuals who had become addicted to killing, upon recovering, recalled that they had actually killed their beloved ones. They stood there in disbelief, staring blankly at the still-wet blood in their hands.

After a long while, he gave a sad smile, a deathly aura emanating from him. He glanced once more at his lover before him and at the blood-stained Soul Realm, then respectfully bowed to the Soul Emperor atop the mountain peak.

"Clan leader, I hope you can break through to the Dou Di realm, so that our Soul Clan can truly suppress the Dou Qi Continent!"

Then, without hesitation, his bones and flesh shattered, and even his very soul began to crumble. He struggled and collapsed beside his beloved.

"Perhaps I waited in vain."

Among the awakened powerhouses, quite a few did this. Those who did not commit suicide, looking at the devastated land of the Soul Realm, were filled with desolation.

The soul of the Emperor Realm enveloped the vast crimson earth. The Soul Emperor meticulously remembered every Soul Clan member who committed suicide. Perhaps for a fleeting moment, he hesitated.

In the end, he ruthlessly cut it off, and the Soul Clan's thousand-year plan was completely beyond redemption!

It's all or nothing; only the emperor can succeed!

"Retreat outside the great formation and guard the entrance to the Soul Realm. Three months later, prepare to attack the Central State Holy Pill City. Target: an Emperor-grade embryonic pill!"

"yes!"

Many figures bowed in response, then withdrew from the formation without hesitation, watching the actions of the Soul Emperor.

"Xiao Xuan, oh Xiao Xuan, I have gathered more bloodline power than you, and I am sure to be stronger than you. You watch from within the Heavenly Tomb as I strive to reach the Dou Di realm!"

Arriving at the center of the crimson array, the Soul Emperor suddenly turned around, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless space, and saw Xiao Xuan inside the Heavenly Tomb. After whispering something, endless crimson instantly enveloped him.

A few breaths later, the Soul Emperor's figure had disappeared, leaving only a blood embryo that was a hundred feet in size!

"Bang bang bang"

A powerful heartbeat emanated from within the blood embryo, representing the Soul Emperor's formidable physique. However, against this backdrop of crimson, it seemed to be foreshadowing something as well.

For example, what is the fate of the Soul Clan, or rather, the Soul Emperor?

As the Soul Emperor entered seclusion, an extremely terrifying aura surged into the sky within the Heavenly Tomb. Faced with this terrifying aura, many overlords on the third level were all suppressed and forced to their knees.

No matter how much they struggled, it was all in vain. Fortunately, the terrifying pressure did not last long. As if the owner of the pressure had noticed something, he quickly withdrew it.

If it weren't for their bodies, deeply embedded in the earth, telling them what had happened, they would have thought they were dreaming of this oppressive force that had only lasted a few breaths.

Although, in a certain projected recording, a powerful figure who was a half-emperor in his previous life once said that powerful figures above the Great Dou Master generally do not dream!

Not only the overlords of these Heavenly Tombs, but also Dan Yan and Yao Dan, who were guarding Zi Yan in another part of the Heavenly Tombs, were shocked by this fleeting pressure.

In that instant, a power seemed to dominate their lives, that familiar five-colored halo—if they remembered correctly, the two quickly exchanged a glance and said in unison.

"Lin Feng!?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two could no longer suppress their curiosity, doubts, joy and other emotions. After checking that Zi Yan's protective formation was not loose, they flew towards the massive five-colored formation tens of thousands of feet deep in the Heavenly Tomb.

"Ha ha ha ha."

A hearty laugh echoed across the sky. In the center of the Five Elements Life and Death Array, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes. Terrifying divine light shot out from his eyes, piercing through the Dou Mansion, as if a god from mythology had been born!

"Haha, Lin Feng, you're really good, very good!"

In one corner of the massive formation, Huangquan Demon Saint and the others had long since noticed the drastic change in Lin Feng's aura. Now, seeing him awaken and sensing that his aura was not much weaker than their own in life, they laughed heartily.

"With your status as a half-Emperor, coupled with your Five Elements Physique, the secret techniques of the Great Sage of Returning to Origin, and this mysterious Five Elements Sacred Beast, I'm sure even at our peak in life, we wouldn't be your match!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint immediately compared the strength of the group and came to a surprising conclusion that greatly surprised them.

"Lin Feng, is he really that brave?"

The group of Yao Dan and others who had rushed over from afar happened to hear this and were stunned, seemingly unable to believe the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's deduction.

It should be noted that after the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Yao Dan and the others also learned the true identities of the remnant souls on Lin Feng's body. They were once the strongest beings in the world—half-emperors who were invincible below the Dou Di!

Now that Lin Feng has broken through his cultivation barrier, he has actually surpassed them and achieved what Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan had not been able to achieve in a thousand years. For the two of them, this is an incredible dream!

Among them, Dan Yan was the most shocked. As the ultimate foundation of the Pill Tower, he had received a message from the Grand Elder of the Little Pill Tower and learned of Lin Feng's existence long ago.

Since then, he had occasionally observed and protected Lin Feng in secret. But what level was Lin Feng at back then? Now he has actually become a half-emperor, surpassing his predecessors. What kind of monster is he?

"Haha, Brother Jinglian, you flatter me. It's all a gift from Emperor Tuoshegu. I was just lucky!"

"Bang!"

Lin Feng smiled slightly and once again uttered those long-lost words of humility, causing the faces of the group to twitch and they to fall to the ground.
