Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

In the vast world, on a bright and sunny morning in the Tianluo Continent, Lin Feng and his group traveled through space and arrived here.

"Is this the land ruled by the ancient Heavenly Emperor?"

Lin Feng slowly stepped onto the earth, murmuring softly.

"Hehe, Lin Feng, since there aren't any Heavenly Sovereigns residing in this Tianluo Continent, why don't we sisters take action?"

"As for you," Zi Yan circled Lin Feng a few times, smiling mischievously, "you can be our beautiful ladies' personal bodyguard!"

"Yes, Your Highness, the Dragon Princess!"

Lin Feng bowed slightly in response, his expression respectful. His movements seemed quite professional. He smiled at Qing Lin, as if recalling the joyful times they spent playing together in a desert place.

"However, my purpose this time is not to establish a foothold in the Tianluo Continent!"

"Xiao Fengzi, so we've come all this way, are we really just here for sightseeing?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Zi Yan, who had just been eager to make a big splash, frowned, feeling a sense of unease as if all her strength was going to be wasted.

"Hahaha, calm down. Since I am called the Heavenly Emperor by countless beings on the Dou Qi Continent, and I have come to this vast world, I naturally want to witness the splendor of the ancient Heavenly Emperor!"

"As for where the Heavenly Court will be based in the future, I already have some ideas. Now, let's go and take a look at that ancient Heavenly Palace!"

With a wave of his hand, the group vanished from the earth. From beginning to end, the figures of the Earth Sovereigns and the Heaven Sovereigns remained unnoticed by any powerful figures!

Tianluo Continent, the far west!

Heavy snow swept across the land, the wind howled, and wild beasts roamed freely. Yet, few people were present, creating a desolate scene.

"Tap, tap, tap"

"Is this the site of the ancient celestial palace? I've already sensed the aura of countless treasures; I'll take them all!"

Several figures landed, and one of them, dressed in purple with a graceful figure, spoke in a tone and manner that was extremely incongruous with her appearance.

"Sister Ziyan, where exactly is that ancient heavenly palace?"

Qinglin looked around in confusion. Although Bishe Sanhua Tong also had her own private space, her control and perception of space were far inferior to Ziyan's.

"The ancient celestial palace lies ahead!"

Zi Yan pointed her finger, and a mysterious space gradually rippled before their eyes.

"Unfortunately, the methods of this ancient Heavenly Emperor are too powerful. With my current strength, I simply cannot open them!"

"Hehe, then we'll have to leave it to our Lord Lin Feng!"

Qinglin smiled mischievously and looked at Lin Feng, who was deep in thought. Cailin and the others also showed a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

"If we're talking about pure strength, the ancient Heavenly Emperor was definitely beyond our current imagination. However, he has fallen after all, so the operation of this Heavenly Palace naturally has flaws!"

"Moreover, it seems that in recent decades, someone has secretly opened this site!"

A figure flashed through Lin Feng's mind: "The mount of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, now the Palace Master of the Sacred Demon Palace, Lu Yuan?"

"Betraying the Great Thousand Worlds meant colluding with extraterrestrial demons in ancient times. If we encounter them, let's just deal with them!"

"If he's lucky enough to not be here, then let's hand him over to the future Great Ruler. After all, he's one of the few people he's killed!"

"You all step back a bit and watch me demonstrate my skills!"

After Cai Lin and the others retreated to a distance, Lin Feng waved his hand, and endless five-colored divine light surged out from his body.

Before the divine light could attract the attention of many powerful figures on the Tianluo Continent, it transformed into a Five Elements Barrier, concealing the entire area within a million miles.

"In this way, even the biggest fluctuations will be difficult for outsiders to detect!"

"The Five Emperors' Celestial Inspection Order, proceed!"

Lin Feng flung out a palm-sized token, upon which stood five divine beasts, possessing functions such as concealment, illusion-breaking, attack, and defense.

It was forged by Lin Feng from many strange metals gathered on the Dou Qi Continent over several decades, waiting for Cai Lin and others to become Dou Di.

If ranked according to the vast array of magical treasures, the Five Emperors' Heavenly Patrol Token likely possesses the power of a semi-peerless sacred artifact!

A palm-sized token flew out, and the five divine beasts on it slowly opened their eyes, carefully observing the mysterious ruins.

After an unknown amount of time, the tortoise shell on the divine beast Xuanwu suddenly lit up, shooting a beam of divine light into the void ahead, instantly revealing the appearance of the ancient heavenly palace to everyone.

The endless lines on the face isolate this ancient celestial palace from the outside world. It seems that now is not the time for him to open it, or rather, some kind of mysterious medium is needed.

However, Lin Feng didn't care about any of that. He pointed at the five-colored token, and the white tiger figure on the token suddenly awoke.

After letting out a furious roar, its ferocious tiger mouth opened wide, gathering endless cutting energy, which then shot out towards a certain direction.

"boom"

After the terrifying cutting energy of Geng metal subsided, a spatial wormhole ten zhang in size appeared. Lin Feng waved his hand to put away the Five Emperors' Sky Patrol Token and gestured to Cai Lin and the others.

"This passage won't hold for long, let's hurry inside!"

"Walk!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the group shot out without hesitation. After their figures disappeared at the end of the divine light passage, countless patterns covered the passage again in just a few breaths.

"This ancient celestial palace looked magnificent, but unfortunately, it was destroyed by those extraterrestrial demons!"

Standing atop a hill, Lin Feng looked down upon the ancient celestial palace and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflections).

"Zhou Yuan's actions were indeed somewhat unethical!"

"Little Fengzi, I have a vague feeling that deep within that Heavenly Palace, there exists a terrifying and evil presence!"

Just then, Zi Yan suddenly looked into the depths of the Heavenly Palace and murmured softly.

Seeing Zi Yan, who was usually unruly, in this state, Cai Lin and the others also became serious. Zi Yan's combat strength ranked second among the group.

Furthermore, with her powerful physical body and her half-step Heavenly Sovereign realm, even a true Heavenly Sovereign would find it difficult to subdue her.

The fact that it showed this expression at this moment clearly indicates that there is something truly terrifying deep within that Heavenly Palace!

"It's alright!"

Looking at Zi Yan's expression, Lin Feng had already guessed that the person she was sensing was most likely the one who had fought to the death with the Heavenly Emperor fifty thousand years ago.

"Since these evil spirits have been suppressed for so long, we only need to be careful!"

Without further hesitation, the group ventured deeper into the area. They glanced at the opportunities they encountered along the way, such as the Dragon Gate, and continued on without stopping.

The weakest among them was a Sovereign Earthly Being. Within this ancient Heavenly Palace, the only thing that could attract them was the remnants of the Heavenly Emperor.

As for the idea that only by becoming a disciple of the ancient Heavenly Palace could one pass through the Dragon Gate and enter the true Heavenly Palace, it was utterly useless under the Five Emperors' Heavenly Patrol Order.

"Buzz"

Deep within the Heavenly Palace, a strange demonic sound slowly rang out, seemingly sensing the undisguised aura of Lin Feng and his group.

"Fifty thousand years later, has someone finally come in again?"

"It seems that today is the day I break free from my seal, hehehehe."

"Perhaps, this will be your end!"

A divine light emanated from a magnificent divine sword, and the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, which had been immersed in silence for countless years, fell into silence once again, seemingly with a slight difference.

"Is this the ancient Heavenly Emperor?"

"And that hideous, enormous beast head—could it be the Demon Emperor who was suppressed and beheaded by the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times?"

On the vast mountain, Lin Feng and his companions stood in the wide plaza at the summit, gazing at the figure in blue robes in the center of the plaza, unconsciously filled with a sense of awe.

Even in their remaining form, they were enough to make those who were at least Upper Earthly Sovereigns tremble. If they were in their prime, how powerful they would be!

Even Lin Feng was somewhat solemn at this moment and dared not be careless.

Ultimately, both the ancient Heavenly Emperor and the Devouring Demon Emperor were powerful figures among the Saint-level beings.

At this time, he was just a Heavenly Sovereign of the Spirit Rank. Even with many methods, it was impossible for him to cross the Immortal Rank and compete with the Saint Rank!

"Unfortunately, this Heavenly Emperor Sword is also used to suppress this demonic embryo. Otherwise, this divine object would be extremely useful to me at this moment!"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, then came to the figure in green robes. Half of his spiritual power surged out, forming a terrifying five-colored life-and-death array that was only about ten feet long.

Above the great formation, the five divine beasts nodded slightly to Lin Feng, and then turned into stone statues to suppress the Devouring Demon Emperor.

After doing all this, Lin Feng bowed slightly towards the jet-black head beneath him, which was about half a zhang in size.

"Later Heavenly Emperors came here to pay homage to the ancient Heavenly Emperor!"

"Xiao Fengzi, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Feng's actions, Zi Yan and the others were filled with doubt. The Heavenly Emperor was standing in front of them, so why did Lin Feng bow slightly to the Demon Emperor and even suppress the Heavenly Emperor?

Of course, after countless days and nights of companionship, they also knew that Lin Feng was not innocent in this situation.

"Emperor of the future, I am here! Why do you pay homage to that demon? Have you already betrayed the Great Thousand World? Aren't you afraid that my sword will fall upon your head?"

The figure in the green robe slowly opened his eyes, seemingly angered by Lin Feng's actions, his face showing a hint of coldness.

"I see!"

Lin Feng ignored the ancient Heavenly Emperor dressed in green robes, waved his hand, and a beam of vibrant green divine light shot out and entered the half-zhang-long black head.

"You wicked beast, this is the Demon Emperor I suppressed with all my might in ancient times! Don't you know about the invasion of the Great Thousand World by extraterrestrial demons? Do you truly intend to betray the Great Thousand World?"

Despite the impassioned tone, Zi Yan and the others were reminded of Xie Biyan's appearance back then. It seemed that he was always so fierce and stern, yet somewhat lacking in confidence!

"Buzz"

Just then, after absorbing Lin Feng's life-giving divine light, the hideous black skull underwent a violent change and suddenly trembled.

The surrounding area was filled with surging demonic energy, as if the extraterrestrial demon that had been slain by the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times was about to be completely resurrected!

Strangely, the Heavenly Emperor in green robes seemed to ignore it, simply holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, motionless, though his expression was quite unpleasant.

"Devouring Demon Emperor, tens of thousands of years have passed. Do you really think that all the new generation of powerful figures in my Great Thousand World are fools like you?"

A gentle voice tinged with a hint of mockery rang out, and then the demonic aura of the half-zhang-long black skull dissipated, transforming into a figure that resembled the green-robed Heavenly Emperor before them.

Considering the many strange occurrences that followed, it is clear that this figure in green robes who appeared later was the true ancient Heavenly Emperor!

Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor who was holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword earlier was obviously the Demon Emperor who was actually killed by the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times!

"I didn't expect you to actually find a successor. But what can a mere Spirit-Rank Heavenly Sovereign do to me?"

"Snapped!"

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Before he could even get arrogant, Lin Feng rewarded him with a slap that the Demon Emperor loved to eat. Seeing this, the four women, including Zi Yan, followed suit and gave the Devouring Demon Emperor a good beating.

"How dare you treat me, the Emperor, like this!"

The Heavenly Emperor-like Devouring Demon Emperor was utterly enraged, and endless demonic energy surged uncontrollably from his body. However, under the suppression of the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, he was unable to move!

Seeing that this was indeed the case, Lin Feng felt even more relieved, and then he kept slapping people across the face!

After a long while, the Devouring Demon Emperor no longer emitted any demonic energy. Although his face trembled, his eyes remained closed and his ears were deaf.

Clearly, this is autism!

"Forehead"

The true ancient Heavenly Emperor, standing to the side, felt a strange sense of unease upon seeing the tragic state of the Devouring Demon Emperor, who had caused his own demise and the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Palace. Although he felt joy, he also felt a strange sense of disharmony.

Decades later, when the ancient Heavenly Palace reopened, he finally realized that it was because the Devouring Demon Emperor was wearing his face!

"The future Heavenly Emperor, uh..."

"You can just call me Lin Feng, senior!"

"Lin Feng, please tell me about the current state of this world!"

"Of course!"

Then, Lin Feng recounted everything he had learned from the Luo Shen Clan and from his journey. The figure in green nodded from time to time, but his expression remained largely unchanged.

Only when they heard that Lin Feng had only recently ascended to the Great Thousand Realms and was already a Spirit-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, did a hint of surprise appear in their eyes.

"Incredible, truly incredible! Perhaps your future achievements will rival mine!"

Lin Feng smiled slightly, but did not deny it. In fact, he had another idea in his heart.

"That Heavenly Ranking, hanging high atop the vast world, I might very well have my name inscribed there!"

"Lin Feng, since you've come here to see me, you must have a need. If there's anything you need, just say it!"

The ancient Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly, and upon learning that Lin Feng had also eliminated a branch of the extraterrestrial demons in his own plane, his goodwill towards him increased greatly.

Moreover, given Lin Feng's exceptional talent, he naturally wanted to nurture him so that he could contribute to the Great Thousand World's defense against the extraterrestrial demons in the future!

"Haha, since you're so straightforward, Senior, I won't hold back anymore!"

Before Lin Feng could speak, the Heavenly Emperor spoke first. Although he had already guessed it, he was still somewhat happy when it came true.

"Senior, we are new to this Great Thousand World. Although the lower-dimensional cultivation techniques and combat skills we practice can still utilize spiritual power, their power is significantly reduced!"

"And the methods of spirit arrays and weapon crafting, I also have some interest in those!"

"Therefore, we humbly request that you open the Sutra Repository so that we juniors may have a look at its many secret treasures!"

"This matter is easy!"

With a wave of his hand, the scripture library, which was at least a high-level sacred object, appeared on the square and the restrictions were lifted.

Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others bowed slightly to the Heavenly Emperor and then entered the Scripture Pavilion.

As he watched the passage gradually disappear, a sense of relief flashed through the heart of the ancient Heavenly Emperor. He looked down at the Devouring Demon Emperor, the true incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, standing before him.

"Even if you, the extraterrestrial demons, didn't exert your full strength in ancient times, my Great Thousand World is still teeming with talented individuals!"

"It's still too early to say who will win or lose!"
