Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"boom"

Deep within the Soul Realm, on the blood-soaked earth, in the courtyard where Void Devouring Flame once resided, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted.

"not good!"

Within the massive Soul Devouring and Life-Severing Array, which spans tens of thousands of feet, the flesh and blood embryo, originally hundreds of feet in size, has now shrunk to less than a hundred feet!

The moment the explosion rang out, the Soul Emperor deep within the Blood Embryo suddenly opened his eyes, his divine light bursting forth. He swiftly broke through the Blood Embryo, took it into his storage ring, and was about to tear through space to escape into the unknown depths of the void.

"Haha, Brother Hun, it's been so long! Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Before Lin Feng and the others even arrived, Gu Yuan's loud laughter echoed into the Soul Realm.

At the same time, a massive energy beam, thousands of feet long, shot down from outside the Soul Realm, piercing straight through the world barrier of the Soul Realm and fiercely suppressing the Soul Emperor.

Clearly, upon seeing his long-lost old friend, the Soul Emperor, Gu Yuan had to bring out his ancestral Ancient Emperor Mirror to give him a good thrashing.

"Haha, Brother Gu Yuan, it's been so long, there's no need to be so polite!"

Faced with the terrifying energy pillar unleashed by Gu Yuan using the Ancient Emperor Mirror, the Soul Emperor, whose body was covered in blood-red aura, calmly waved his hand and casually wiped away this terrifying attack that was enough to instantly injure an eight-star Dou Sheng.

This scene caused Gu Yuan and the others to shrink their pupils sharply. As the Soul Emperor's opponent for thousands of years, Gu Yuan knew that he was no longer the Soul Emperor's opponent!

"However," Gu Yuan glanced at Lin Feng beside him, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he looked at Soul Emperor again, "Brother Soul, perhaps this is the last time we'll meet!"

Seeing Gu Yuan and the others appear before him, the Soul Emperor showed no concern whatsoever. After glancing at Gu Yuan, his gaze fell upon Zhu Kun.

"Two peak nine-star Dou Sheng? If it were four months ago, they might have put some pressure on me, but now? Heh!"

"The Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Void, it just so happens that I am about to advance to the level of a Half-Emperor, and soon I will become a Supreme Dou Di. Having a Dragon Emperor as my mount is not an insult!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

As soon as the Soul Emperor finished speaking, Zhu Kun suddenly burst into a tremendous laugh. As he laughed, he clutched his stomach, as if the laughter had even injured the body of a Dragon Emperor at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

Not only him, but Gu Yuan and the others also had strange expressions. This unusual scene made the Soul Emperor frown.

"Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, have you two gone mad?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing the serious questioning look on the Soul Emperor's face, not only Zhu Kun, but even Gu Yuan Yan Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Only Lin Feng, an elite individual who transmigrated from Earth, had received professional training. Despite the dough trembling, he managed to hold it in.

After a long while, everyone gradually recovered. Zhu Kun glanced at the Soul Emperor standing in the evil formation, and although he really wanted to test his methods.

"Lin Feng, you're the one who should handle this guy!"

After thinking it over, he decided to let Lin Feng take action. Besides being wary of the evil aura he sensed from the Soul Emperor, he also wanted to see the methods of a half-emperor!

"Um!"

In a few strides, Lin Feng arrived in front of the Soul Emperor, who was a hundred feet tall. He first glanced at the complex patterns beneath him, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. After all, it was an ancient formation, and it was still of great research value.

"Perfect, I'd like to try out my current methods too!"

"It's you, my junior!"

Upon seeing Lin Feng approach, the Soul Emperor remained expressionless, his gaze towards him filled with a hint of curiosity.

"In less than a hundred years, your strength and realm have already approached those of me four months ago and that of Brother Gu Yuan now!"

"Given the time, you might actually become a demigod!"

"You shouldn't have come to me now. You're still young and don't know your own limitations."

"Unfortunately, the moment you learned this lesson from me, you were destined to never have another chance to correct it!"

Watching the Soul Emperor mutter to himself, Lin Feng remained silent until he finished speaking. Finally, Lin Feng spoke softly.

"Soul Emperor, you remain as arrogant as ever. Use all your means; this is your last moment of glory!"

"Hahaha"

Looking at Lin Feng, who was even more arrogant than himself, the Soul Emperor suddenly burst into laughter, his gaze gradually turning cold.

"Even when Xiao Xuan was at his peak, he wouldn't dare speak to me like this. Today, even with Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun protecting you, I will show you what I'm capable of!"

As soon as the words fell, the massive Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, tens of thousands of feet in size, suddenly began to operate, and countless dark blood mists enveloped the two figures within.

A sharp, cutting aura, seemingly capable of cleaving through the heavens and earth, surged from within the great formation, and a blood-red greatsword, still bearing traces of golden blood, appeared in the Soul Emperor's hand.

"The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade that Slays Emperors!?"

Beyond the thick blood mist, sensing that terrifying aura, even Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun paled. This legendary weapon, which had supposedly slain a Dou Di, was truly chilling.

"This is indeed a decent weapon, but its blood-red attribute is rather unpleasant!"

Looking at the blood-red weapon in the Soul Emperor's hand, a glint of light appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. He made up his mind to seize the weapon and then transform it into his own shape.

"Blood Demon Heart-Devouring Thunder, go!"

The Soul Emperor pointed to the sky, and countless blood-red arrays rose up in the Soul Realm. The blood mist that covered the entire Soul Realm also contracted instantly and finally shot fiercely towards Lin Feng!

"A mere trick like this, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?"

Upon seeing this enormous energy finger that even Gu Yuan and the others frowned at, Lin Feng revealed a hint of disdain in his eyes and suddenly roared to the sky.

"The five elements of heaven and earth, heed my command, gather!"

A deep, resounding shout echoed throughout the Soul Realm, even penetrating its world barrier and reaching the outside world. Immediately afterward, something astonishing happened.

Suddenly, a fierce wind swept across the world, dispersing the thick blood mist that had shrouded the Soul Realm for four months.

Instead, countless energies of heaven and earth, shimmering with five-colored light, swept wildly toward Lin Feng.

The five-colored radiance seemed like spirits, surrounding Lin Feng in worship, as if he were the master of the five elements, as if he were the origin and end of the five elements of heaven and earth!

"What, what is this!?"

Upon witnessing this indescribable scene, the Soul Emperor was so shocked that he was speechless.

What surprised him even more was that the Heart-Devouring Thunder, which was gathered from countless Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Arrays, was transformed into pure energy after being pierced by the five-colored radiance, becoming part of the worship surrounding Lin Feng.

"Have you already become a Dou Di? No, impossible!"

A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in the Soul Emperor's mind, which he then frantically dispelled. Countless blood vessels covered his eyes, which were bloodshot as he stared at the extremely sacred Lin Feng not far away.

"Even Xiao Xuan back then, and I now, failed by gathering the bloodline power of our entire clan. How could you possibly succeed? How dare you?"

"The power of my entire clan's bloodline—yes, it must be because I haven't fully refined it yet. I will definitely become an emperor!"

The Soul Emperor seemed to have gone completely mad. He suddenly took out a huge blood fetus from his storage ring, and his body instantly grew to several thousand feet in size. He swallowed it into his body in one gulp.

After doing all this, he did not stop. Instead, he held the blood-stained blade and attacked a certain place deep in the Soul Realm.

"Chieftain."

Before Hun Yuantian and the others could speak, a blood-red phantom blade that tore through the sky slashed down fiercely, engulfing Hun Yuantian amidst the disbelief and horrified gazes of the remaining members of the Soul Clan.

Half an hour later, the remaining million members of the Soul Clan in the Soul Realm were all devoured by the blood-red greatsword in the hands of the Soul Emperor.

At the same time, countless cracks began to appear on his massive body, which was thousands of feet long. Clearly, the rapid absorption of the blood pills had exceeded the limit that the Soul Emperor could withstand.

However, this action caused his aura to quickly exceed a certain limit, making him even more insane.

"Hahaha, so this is the realm of a half-Emperor! Lin Feng, it turns out you're not a Dou Di yet; you're still stuck at the half-Emperor level!"

"With the aid of the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade, today, not only will you die, but the Emperor-grade embryonic core will also be mine. I, the Soul Emperor, am destined to ascend to the throne of the Soul Emperor!"

Seeing Soul Emperor achieve the Half-Emperor realm, Gu Yuan and the others' expressions changed drastically. They wanted to remind Lin Feng to act quickly and kill Soul Emperor before he mastered the power of a Half-Emperor.

However, when everyone looked at Lin Feng again, they were suddenly stunned, as if they had seen something incredible.

All that could be seen was that Lin Feng's figure, along with the endless five-colored radiance, had vanished.

Only a towering, five-colored giant remained, standing silently in the void, overlooking the vast land of the Soul Realm without uttering a word. Gu Yuan and the others felt immense majesty!

"This, could this be... the legendary body of a Dou Di!?"

"How could you possibly possess such terrifying power?"

The colossal Soul Emperor, thousands of feet tall, murmured to himself, his voice echoing throughout the Soul Realm thanks to his massive body. Unfortunately, no one in the Soul Clan ever witnessed such a powerful Soul Emperor.

Because they were all dead, either directly or indirectly, at the hands of the Soul Emperor!

"Are these your last words?"

The ten-thousand-foot-tall, five-colored giant spoke, as if it were an ancient god, or like a morning bell and evening drum, shaking heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

The vast and boundless earth of the Soul Realm suddenly began to crack open, and the endless earth turned into huge stones, which, under the illumination of the five-colored divine light, turned into earth-yellow energy.

In the end, it transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long, earth-yellow sword, which descended from the sky and landed in front of the five-colored giant.

"Such a powerful physique, even a Dou Di wouldn't be able to match it, would they?"

Despite facing death, the Soul Emperor suddenly regained his senses and became clear-headed. After devouring the blood embryo formed by billions of living beings in the Soul Realm, his power swelled to its limit, transforming him into a blood-red giant 9,999 feet tall.

Holding the blood-red giant blade passed down from the Soul Emperor, which was said to have slain a Dou Di, his massive body slowly gazed at the Soul Realm, the land that gave birth to him.

Finally, he slowly raised the crimson blade, pointing it directly at the towering five-colored giant, and unleashed his final roar of all time.

"Lin Feng, let me see your power! Let me see what makes you think you can end my Soul Clan's eternal plan!"

"Hahaha"

With a maniacal laugh, the nearly ten-thousand-foot-tall crimson giant raised his butcher's knife and, with a madness that wanted to cut down everything, fiercely slashed down at the ten-thousand-foot-tall five-colored giant.

"Blood Blade, Slice Through the Heavens!"

"The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, vast and profound, cleave through the mortal realm!"

The ten-thousand-foot-tall, five-colored giant raised its earth-yellow longsword high, and from the endless depths of the Soul Realm, boundless Xuanhuang power surged forth and converged upon the ten-thousand-foot-tall giant sword.

"Boom!"

The sky cracked open, the earth shattered, and space itself seemed to lose its meaning. Gu Yuan and the others used all their strength to frantically move away from the center of the terrifying collision.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

After a long while, a gentle breeze blew by, and the dust and smoke dissipated, revealing two towering figures that seemed to reach into the clouds.

The crimson giant and the five-colored giant stood facing each other, neither uttering a word, seemingly communicating in silence.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, countless drops of blood gushed from all parts of the crimson giant's body, and the Soul Emperor seemed to experience a final burst of energy before death, his face regaining its rosy hue.

"A divine weapon forged from the power of the Soul Realm's earth? To die at its hands is perhaps the retribution I, the Soul Emperor, deserve!"

"boom"

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous blood-red giant, nearly ten thousand feet tall, suddenly exploded, revealing the soul phantom of the Soul Emperor, which was covered in cracks.

"Brother Gu Yuan, I have lost this time. I hope you can become an emperor; at least that would satisfy some of the regrets in my heart!"

He nodded to Gu Yuan in greeting, but in Gu Yuan's eyes, it was as if he saw the gentle and refined Soul Emperor from back then.

Ignoring Gu Yuan's response, the Soul Emperor glanced at Lin Feng again, his eyes filled with envy, anticipation, or something else, before flying straight to the high sky of the Soul Realm.

Gazing at the ravaged earth, after a moment, the cracked soul essence completely dispersed, turning into crystalline light spots that scattered across the blood-red soul realm earth after the great battle.

The reigning hero, Soul Emperor, has fallen!

"Brother Hun, may you rest in peace!"

Gazing at the Soul Emperor transforming into countless specks of light, Gu Yuan felt little joy, but rather a touch of melancholy.

"My old friends have passed away one after another, like leaves falling in the wind. Where is my grave, Gu Yuan's grave?"

"Bang!"

"Brother Zhukun, what are you doing?"

Despite the intense pain in his shoulder, Gu Yuan wasn't angry; he was just puzzled. Why was this old dragon acting so crazy?

"Gu Yuan, our journey is far from over! The extraterrestrial evil race awaits our suppression. If we can survive, perhaps one day we can even reach the Dou Di realm!"

Looking at the towering giant in the distance, Zhu Kun felt an overwhelming desire welling up inside him. He, Zhu Kun, was determined to reach the Dou Di realm!

"Haha, thanks for the reminder, Brother Zhukun. It seems Gu Yuan was too attached to appearances!"

"It's nothing, not worth mentioning!"

Zhu Kun waved his hand, casually glancing towards the depths of the Soul Realm, a look of longing in his eyes.

Zi Yan's talent for treasure hunting is not unique to her; it is also fully demonstrated in Zhu Kun, who even found the ancient emperor's cave!

"Having annihilated the Soul Clan, we cannot return empty-handed. In my perception, this Soul Realm holds countless treasures, all of which must be taken!" (End of Chapter)
