Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"Hahaha, this is truly gratifying!"

Inside the council hall, a loud voice could be heard even ten miles away. Needless to say, it must have been Lei Ying, the rough and uncultured patriarch of the Lei clan.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Lin Feng. Otherwise, given the Soul Emperor's madness, we would all surely have perished at his hands once he broke through to the Half-Emperor realm!"

Yan Jin was also quite emotional. No one expected that the Soul Emperor would sacrifice tens of millions of his clan members in order to become a Dou Di!

It can be said that even without Lin Feng and the others' attack, the Soul Clan would have been completely dead in name only!

At this point, everyone relaxed a little, and then looked at Lin Feng, the hero of this event, their eyes filled with shock.

"Lin Feng, at the Half-Emperor realm, with your current strength, could you directly storm into the Demon Abyss and kill the Demon Lord who is breaking through?"

Someone suddenly came up with this idea, and everyone was stunned when they heard it. Then they realized that this method seemed to be feasible.

As if awakened, Lin Feng stepped outside the main hall and gazed in the direction of the Demon Abyss. The others followed closely behind, not daring to utter a word to disturb him.

After a long while, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Lin Feng slowly shook his head.

"In my perception, the Abyss is like a gaping maw that seems to devour the heavens and earth. Even now, the thought of heading towards the Abyss fills me with dread!"

Lin Feng looked up at the sky, and the feeling he got was as if it were the sky of the Dou Qi Continent, or as if it came from the depths of the earth.

"Could this feeling be the embryo of a different dimension?"

"What!?"

Lin Feng's words shocked everyone, and even Gu Yuan was somewhat unsettled.

Even though Lin Feng was able to kill another half-emperor who wielded a terrifying weapon like the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade, he still had a premonition of death when facing the Demon Abyss.

Could it be that the Demon Lord is not far from reaching the realm of the Demon Emperor?

Only in this way can we explain why Lin Feng, who is considered a strong person even in the half-emperor realm, would feel such trepidation!

"Now, the only hope is that Xiao Yan or Zi Yan can become a Dou Di before the Demon Lord!"

The joy that everyone had felt earlier vanished, replaced by an indescribable sense of worry. The Demon Emperor, comparable to a Dou Di, was truly a force to be reckoned with!

Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Feng didn't offer much comfort, because even he wasn't sure when this Demon Lord, who was beyond the original story, would break through his cultivation!

"Everyone, prepare for the final battle! Even without a Dou Di, if the extraterrestrial evil race wants to occupy the Dou Qi Continent, we will make them pay a heavy price!"

No one responded; the eyes of the many Battle Saints were filled with unwavering determination!

Unlike the battles between various forces, where the defeated can kneel and beg for mercy, the extraterrestrial evil race intends to completely devour all living beings on the Dou Qi Continent.

Therefore, not a single person had the thought of merely clinging to life!

Deep within the Heavenly Tomb, the ancient Bodhi tree revealed its enormous form, tens of thousands of feet tall, rooted deep in the earth, exuding endless pure energy, seemingly poised to rewrite this Heavenly Tomb into its own world!

On the treetop, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, slowly regulating his breathing, preparing to break through to the Dou Di realm in peak condition!

In front of him, a mysterious energy cluster floated up and down, which was the most crucial energy for breaking through to the Dou Di realm—the Origin Qi.

"Jinglian, do you think Lin Feng will succeed?"

On a distant mountain peak, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint gazed at Lin Feng's figure, his voice unconsciously becoming somewhat low.

"Haha, Brother Huang Quan, this isn't like you at all!"

Before the Pure Lotus Demon Saint could answer, Xiao Xuan burst out laughing first. He waved his hand, pointed at Lin Feng, and then looked at the ten-thousand-foot-tall ancient emperor statue and Zi Yan, who was wrapped in the huge purple-gold cocoon.

"So, which of these three will become a Dou Di first?"

At this point, Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow and offered his suggestion to the two of them.

"Gentlemen, how about we make a bet and guess the order in which they become Dou Di, so that we can determine our future seniority?"

"That makes sense!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint also became interested. Judging from the time when the three of them dominated the world, he was obviously the second oldest, and he was somewhat displeased with this title.

Now, the title Xiao Xuan was exactly what he wanted. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the voice of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.

"Jinglian, are you crazy? If you and I lose the bet, won't one of us become the third one and be pinned down by Xiao Xuan?"

"In my opinion, why don't we just ignore the hierarchy and treat each other as elder brothers whenever Xiao Xuan is around? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Seeing the flicker of interest in the eyes of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint was greatly alarmed and became restless.

He hurriedly used his fully developed soul techniques, combined with the inheritance of the Great Sage Guiyuan he had obtained from Lin Feng, to secretly transmit his voice to the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

"Brother Huangquan is right!"

"Brother Huangquan, how can a person live between heaven and earth, forever resentful and subservient to others!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint remained expressionless, and a chilling aura emanated from the three of them, as if the Pure Lotus Demon Saint had long suffered at the hands of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint!

Sensing the serious atmosphere, Xiao Xuan was not surprised but delighted. "Excellent! How could I, the head of the six heroes of the Xiao clan, a figure who has suppressed countless people, be relegated to the third position?"

"Today, I will rise up and sing my praises!"

"However, we have shared hardships and are all remnants of souls, so it can be considered a fateful encounter. Why be so clear-cut? Let's just address each other as before!"

Just as Xiao Xuan was shocked and Huang Quan Demon Saint was overjoyed, Jing Lian Demon Saint smiled in a very strange way.

"Right, Brother Huang Quan?"

"The Nightmare Emperor is absolutely right!"

"Why"

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xiao Xuan, with his intelligence, could easily understand that he had been hit by a mixed doubles attack again!

"Joking aside, Lin Feng and the others still need to become emperors as soon as possible!"

After regaining his serious expression, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint looked at Lin Feng atop the towering Bodhi Tree and murmured softly.

"Those extraterrestrial demons won't give us much time!"

As if sensing their expectations, the enormous Bodhi tree suddenly moved, and endless pure energy poured down once again, tightly enveloping Lin Feng.

In the final moment before being swallowed by the pure energy, the suspended source energy seemed to possess sentience and automatically entered Lin Feng's body.

"It's begun. Hopefully, this wondrous celestial tomb will buy them enough time!"

As Lin Feng also entered seclusion, countless beings on the Dou Qi Continent began to pray, wishing that Xiao Yan and Zi Yan would be the first to reach the Dou Di realm!

Only in this way can they eliminate the extraterrestrial evil race. In their minds, if someone can achieve the supreme Dou Di realm, destroying the extraterrestrial evil race will be a piece of cake!

As for the news that Lin Feng was also breaking through, very few people knew about it, and no one knew why!

Meanwhile, a year slowly passed as the Demon Lord of the Outer Heavens and Lin Feng and the others competed.

"Bang bang bang"

On this day, deep within the Demon Abyss, within a massive demonic embryo hundreds of feet tall, a series of powerful heartbeats suddenly resounded, like demonic sounds, drawing people in unconsciously.

"Could this fluctuation be...?"

The bewitching demon queen, who was cultivating in the palace, sensed the terrifying heartbeat and instantly opened her alluring eyes, looking towards the central land of the Demon Abyss.

"Your Majesty!!!"

Countless demons began to cheer, and a demonic aura, seemingly intent on devouring everything, began to surge. As the heartbeat emanating from the demonic fetus grew more rapid, the enormous fetus began to expand at a visible speed.

Five hundred zhang, one thousand zhang, three thousand zhang, eight thousand zhang!

In the blink of an eye, the demonic fetus transformed into a colossal mass that blotted out the sky. At the same time, endless demonic energy surged wildly into the fetus, seemingly providing it with the energy to grow!

Nine thousand zhang, nine thousand five hundred zhang, ten thousand zhang!!!

"Boom boom boom"

After breaking through the ten-thousand-zhang limit, the demonic energy in the world instantly overflowed wildly out of the Demon Abyss, as if celebrating the birth of a demon emperor!

At the same time, the blood-red clouds that had shrouded the entire Dou Qi Continent for several years began to churn violently, followed by what seemed to be a mournful cry of resentment.

A faint black wisp slowly appeared, and in just a few breaths, it completely covered the blood-red sky. In the blink of an eye, demonic energy covered the sky!

What's going on here?

Within Saint Pill City, numerous Battle Saints stood in the sky, with Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun at the forefront, both watching the changes in the sky with solemn expressions.

An overwhelming sense of oppression arose in their hearts, and ancient records slowly surfaced in their minds. When a certain piece of information flashed by, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no!"

"Ancient records state that when a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) is born, the extraordinary phenomena associated with their cultivation attribute will appear across the entire sky of the Dou Qi Continent. This is the Dou Qi Continent's way of bestowing blessings upon that supreme and noble Dou Di!"

"However, the extraterrestrial evil race came with the intention of invasion. In ancient times, they severely damaged the Dou Qi Continent. The mournful cries that just came from the depths of the blood clouds were clearly the result of this demonic energy forcibly manifesting!"

Gu Yuan's face was grim as he voiced his guess. With each word he spoke, the expressions on everyone's faces grew even more unpleasant.

"The only explanation for this is that the Demon Lord has achieved the status of a Demon Emperor, comparable to a Battle Emperor!"

"Damn it, Xiao Yan and the others are still in seclusion, and the Demon King has broken through first. Is this the heavens' way of destroying our Dou Qi Continent?"

Lei Ying's face was furious, and terrifying lightning flashed around him, but he was helpless!

"Gentlemen, even at the cost of our lives, we must buy Xiao Yan and the others a little more time!"

"Let these demons see the spirit of us Battle Saints!"

The Ancient Emperor Mirror slowly rotated around Gu Yuan, and terrifying power erupted from his body, startling Lei Ying and the others. Then they laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, Gu Yuan, you're right! Clan members, prepare for a fight to the death!"

"boom"

The ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic embryo exploded with a roar, and a ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic figure stood in the abyss of demons as if tearing open the world. From any angle, many evil spirits could see this majestic figure.

"Ha ha ha ha."

The endless demons gazed at this figure that devoured the heavens and the earth, sensing the immense pressure emanating from the depths of its bloodline. Instead of being terrified, they were overjoyed and roared madly.

"Hahaha, my good sons, follow me to conquer the Central Continent! Today, we will seize the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Set off!"

Hundreds of millions of demons surged out of the Demon Abyss, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were completely shrouded in terrifying demonic clouds.

Starting from the Abyss of Demons, countless demonic armies slaughtered their way through the land. No living being on the Dou Qi Continent could escape this nightmare!

Countless creatures were fleeing for their lives, including humans, magical beasts, elves, and all sorts of other races. During the years that the Demon Abyss shrank, they gradually left the Central Continent and returned to their original homelands.

Hundreds of millions of beings from the Dou Qi Continent have all gathered on the Central Plains. No matter how vast the original Central Plains were, the competition for resources made these foreign races feel oppressed.

After all, the creatures of Zhongzhou are inherently superior to those of other regions!

Unfortunately, all that awaits them now is destruction. Endless wails echo across the land, but no one will come to their rescue, for the entire world is in grave danger!

The flames of war spread all the way to the Central Plains. In just half a day, countless spatial passages opened, and the entire Dou Qi Continent was covered by demonic energy.

At this moment, the scene above the Holy Pill City in Zhongzhou was even more terrifying, with the most powerful demons of the extraterrestrial evil race standing in the sky, looking down at the earth.

"Hahaha, a bunch of ants, are you ready to die?"

"The extraterrestrial evil race! We, the people of the Dou Qi Continent, have no cowards who surrender without a fight! If you have the guts, come and kill us!"

Feeling the terror of that demonic shadow, as if it were a bottomless abyss threatening to devour his mind, Lei Ying bit his tongue hard and shouted.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I love watching the despair of you little ants after your struggle."

The Demon King high above remained completely still. Only after truly breaking through to this realm did he realize how fragile the Dou Qi Continent was.

With just a wave of his hand, most of the vast Central Continent would fall silent. If no one stopped him, even the entire Dou Qi Continent would be completely sunk!

"Make your move. If it pleases me, I might spare your life!"

"Let us show you, you extraterrestrial demons, our power! Clan members, summon the power of the Thunder Emperor! Let the Emperor's Thunder descend upon the world!"

Behind Lei Ying, countless Dou Sheng of the Lei Clan stepped forward, and the Lei Realm appeared above them, with many Dou Sheng and Dou Zun displaying the Lei Clan's clan emblem.

Even above Lei Ying's head, a colossal phantom, tens of thousands of feet tall, stood silently, looking down at the extraterrestrial evil race, its eyes blazing with endless golden lightning!

"The King of the Otherworldly Demons has been reborn!"
