Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"Your daughter?"

Deep within the Ancient Emperor Continent, the Ancient Emperor wore a look of surprise and uncertainty, clearly not quite believing Gu Yuan's explanation.

"Hahaha, our ancestor has been in seclusion for the past few years, unaware of a major event that has recently occurred in the vast world!"

Gu Yuan laughed heartily, and then proceeded to name Lin Feng, who had been established in the Heavenly Court, as well as many other Dou Di from the Dou Qi Continent.

"In that case, Xun'er's talent truly surpasses yours by a great deal!"

The news that Gu Yuan mentioned clearly shocked the Ancient Emperor, especially Lin Feng, who had already broken through to the Heavenly Supreme in the Dou Qi Continent.

"Given the Heavenly Emperor's talent, it is highly likely that he will become one of the overlords of the vast world in the future!"

"And my ancient clan's son-in-law, Emperor Yan Xiao Yan, addresses the Heavenly Emperor as a fellow disciple; their relationship is extremely good!"

"With future assistance, even we ourselves may have a chance to break through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm!"

"If that's truly the case, then I'm truly fortunate to have you all!"

"The reason I awakened the Ancestor is because the Heavenly Emperor is searching for the other emperors. I think it's time for me to return to the Heavenly Court."

"Moreover," Gu Yuan stood up and looked in the direction of the Great Thousand Northern Heavenly Court, "according to reports from spies, most of the Dou Di in the Heavenly Court, except for Xiao Xuan and others, have not returned."

"I wonder if Xun'er and Xiao Yan have encountered any danger!"

"In that case, I shall accompany you to see the many Dou Di (Battle Emperors) born on our Dou Qi Continent countless years later!"

"Ancestor?"

"Hahaha, I also come from the Dou Qi Continent. I've been ascending for over a thousand years, yet I still haven't achieved the status of a Heavenly Sovereign. Now that a Heavenly Sovereign has pledged allegiance to me, I'm quite tempted!"

The ancient emperor's gaze held a hint of anticipation. "Such a brilliant and talented individual, could he help me break through that damned barrier to my cultivation level?"

"Snap!"

After the True Dragon King conjured the Great Thousand Ancestral Dragon's Claw and inserted it into a certain part of the great formation, countless illusory images of true dragons within the vast world roared to the sky.

It flew like it was riding the clouds to the front of the True Dragon King, and beams of divine light shot out from its huge dragon eyes, carefully examining him.

Finally, seemingly after confirming the identity of the True Dragon King from the level of soul, body, or bloodline techniques, the many enormous dragons exchanged glances and crashed into the void ahead.

"Boom!"

The greatest sound is silent. The divine dragon, formed from the spiritual energy of countless fallen Heavenly Sovereigns, crashed into the void with a terrifying roar. Even a Heavenly Sovereign like Lin Feng, caught off guard, momentarily lost consciousness.

"Buzz"

"You must quickly enter the True Dragon Pool to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out!"

Before any ripples could be heard from within the True Dragon Pool, the True Dragon King shouted, urging Lin Feng and the others to enter quickly.

"I have only one piece of advice for you: if you have the ability, then refine all the spiritual energy liquid in the True Dragon Pool!"

"The vast world needs a new Saintly Celestial Sovereign to appear!"

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Lin Feng and the others stared ahead as endless droplets of energy transformed into dragons of various shapes, some enormous and indistinct, others as tiny as a hair.

That terrifying energy seemed capable of engulfing everything. Before this, it belonged only to the Dragon Clan, but now it was generously given away by the True Dragon King, just so that a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign could appear again.

Go!

Seeing the people bowing in thanks, the True Dragon King waved his hand and urged them on.

Lin Feng and his companions did not hesitate any longer and stepped into the True Dragon Pool. As soon as they entered, the terrifying energy rushed into their bodies like a celestial river pouring out.

"Such terrifying energy! Quickly activate the True Dragon Body Tempering Technique!"

Even Lin Feng, a peak-level Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign with unparalleled combat power below the Saint Grade, felt overwhelmed for a moment, let alone Cai Lin and the others.

Seeing that the faces of the group were flushed, Lin Feng immediately spoke up to remind them.

"roar"

The girls, including Cai Lin, were decisive. They bit their tongues to force themselves to wake up, and then a five-clawed dragon phantom emerged from each of their bodies, rapidly refining the energy they had used.

Seeing that Cai Lin and the others were in the zone, Lin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked towards the depths of the True Dragon Pool.

"Although the energy here is sufficient, it is not enough for me to break through the barrier and enter the Celestial Supreme Realm in a short period of time."

"The only way is to venture deep into the True Dragon Pool and refine the pure spiritual energy left behind by the immortal and even saintly true dragons!"

"Moreover," Lin Feng said, flipping out several jade tablets from his palm, "these soul jade tablets have lost their ability to sense location, and they can't even sense the strength of life anymore. They can only determine whether the person who left the jade tablet is alive or dead."

"Even with the current power of the Heavenly Court, they have searched for several years but still haven't found them. It seems things are not looking good."

"Especially Ancestor Dan Yan, who is a elixir in human form, is very likely to be captured and refined by vicious people."

"I must quickly reach the Celestial Supreme level, possess Saint-grade combat power, and mobilize the numerous super forces of the Great Thousand Worlds to search for me before I can feel at ease!"

Many Dou Di (Battle Emperors) either had good friendships with Lin Feng or, like Dan Yan, had once diligently taught him; these relationships could not be ignored.

With that thought in mind, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and shot towards the depths of the True Dragon Pool.

"Everyone, wait for me!"

"Big Sister Xiaoxiao, are we really going to ascend to the Great Thousand World to find Uncle Lin Feng and the others?"

On the summit of a mountain thousands of feet high in the Central Plains, amidst swirling clouds and mist, several rather inexperienced young people stood, gazing down upon the vast land.

The one who just spoke was Xiao Lin, son of Emperor Yan Xiao Yan!

"Brother Lin, we men should bravely venture out into the world without looking back or hesitating."

A strong hand slammed down on Xiao Lin's shoulder. Looking up, he saw the handsome face of Lin Xu, the son of Lin Feng and Zi Yan.

"Yes, I, Lin Jinglei, must find Lin Feng's father. He gave me a second life, and I must repay him!"

Just then, a golden bolt of lightning flashed and slammed into the earth. After the lightning dissipated, a chubby little boy wearing a silver-white bib and with a lightning pattern between his eyebrows appeared.

"Lin Jinglei, you weren't born to our father!"

Qinglin's daughter grabbed the chubby little boy and pinched his chubby cheeks affectionately.

"Sister Yun'er, let go! I'm a man, no one can pinch my cheeks, it's too embarrassing!"

Lin Jinglei struggled incessantly with his chubby limbs, but could not break free from Yun'er's clutches. In the end, his limbs hung limply, and his little face seemed listless and dejected.

"Sister Yun'er, I was born from my father's guidance, so naturally I am his son."

"I'm only letting you off the hook now because you're my sister, so don't push your luck!"

"Not bad, Brother Jing Lei, I, Lin Xu, acknowledge you!"

Lin Feng released Xiao Lin's shoulder and gave Lin Jinglei a thumbs up in Yun'er's hand, instantly restoring his spirits. Lin Jinglei looked at Lin Xu with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Lin Xu, you truly are my confidant!"

"Forehead"

When Ling'er and the others saw these two clowns acting like this, they could only sigh helplessly.

"You two really are brothers!"

"The time for ascension isn't in a rush. Let's wait for the seniors like Zhugong to break through first!"

After playing around for a while, Xiaoxiao, as the eldest sister, made the final decision.

"Before that, we could first forge our own imperial artifacts!"

A nimble little snake with nine-colored patterns suddenly emerged from Xiaoxiao's arm and hissed at her, looking quite adorable.

"You little rascal, you're never satisfied, Xiao Lin. Do you have any more pills?"

"Hehe, plenty!"

Xiao Lin took out a small jade bottle, slowly opened the cap, pointed it towards the sky, and an endless torrent of pills surged into the air.

After circling several times in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), it made a U-turn and rushed into the mouth of the small Devouring Python.

"Xiao Lin, among us, your alchemy skills are the most advanced. It's truly enviable!"

Even the forthright Lin Xu couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Lin's methods.

"I haven't forgotten Brother Xu either!"

Knowing that Lin Xu and Aunt Zi Yan shared similar temperaments, Xiao Lin pointed to the sky again, and another torrent of pills shot out from the small jade bottle.

Just as it was about to circle a few times in the sky, Lin Xu, who was getting impatient, opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing it all.

"belch"

After letting out a very comfortable burp, Lin Xu looked on with a sigh.

"It's a pity I've never been able to calm my mind. Otherwise, if I could comprehend the Five Elements Alchemy Technique left by my father, I could have become an Emperor-level Alchemist!"

"Yes, it's all thanks to my father's profound skill and mastery of the Five Elements. He has studied the Five Elements to the extreme and can use them to refine elixirs."

"After this alchemy technique was passed down, there are now countless alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent."

The five methods of refining pills—refining in fire, boiling in water, turning wood into pills, refining in earth, and making the golden pill immortal—are now the mainstream in the Dou Qi Continent!

"Unfortunately, none of us inherited Father's Five Elements Physique, so we haven't mastered the strongest technique: extracting the power of chaos from the void to refine pills!"

"But you, Xiao Lin, are naturally endowed with extremely strong fire and wood attributes, and have even grasped two aspects of the Five Elements Alchemy Technique!"

"From now on, the elixirs for us second-generation Heavenly Court members will be entrusted to you. As for combat, leave that to me!"

"And me, and me too, a thunderous roar that shatters the heavens!"

Upon hearing the word "battle," Lin Jinglei in Yun'er's hands immediately began to struggle, his terrifying semi-emperor power surging wildly. Unfortunately, after a long time, he still couldn't break free from her clutches.

"Alas, the once mighty Thunder Emperor Lin Jinglei, why is he in such a sorry state? It is a disgrace!"

The little guy's precocious nature brought a knowing smile to everyone's faces.

"Let's go. We'll meet here again in ten years. That will be the time for us to ascend to the Great Thousand Worlds!"

"Whoosh"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiao soared into the sky, her dazzling nine-colored battle aura so vibrant that it could not be concealed even in broad daylight.

"Swish, swish, swish"

After Xiaoxiao left, Yun'er and the others also set off towards the horizon to search for rare treasures and forge the most suitable imperial artifacts for themselves.

"Bang!"

After everyone left, only Lin Jinglei was left, who crashed to the ground with a thud. He looked around at himself, then his face immediately showed anger.

"Damn it, you guys are refusing to include me again. You'll ascend to the Great Thousand Realms in ten years, huh? Hmph, I'll become a Dou Di within ten years! Don't even think about leaving me behind!"

Without hesitation, he transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and charged toward the void lightning pool.

Where is Lin Jinglei's birthplace? If he wants to quickly advance to the Dou Di level, where is the most suitable place for him to go into seclusion?

"Battle Qi Continent, welcome the arrival of the Thunder Emperor, hehehehe!"

"breathe!"

Deep within the vast True Dragon Pool of the Great Thousand World, Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the void, with tens of thousands of feet of Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Body standing behind him, emanating a terrifying aura that seemed to suppress even the True Dragon Pool.

As Lin Feng inhaled and exhaled, endless dragon-shaped spiritual power was absorbed into his body. At these times, the five-colored divine light, a divine power born from refining the divine vein, would flash around Lin Feng, helping him to integrate and master the spiritual power more quickly.

"The speed is still too slow, far too slow!"

Lin Feng's eyes remained closed, but he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a ball of five-colored divine light, which swelled in the wind and transformed into an energy ball tens of thousands of feet in size in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

A body tens of thousands of feet tall appeared behind Lin Feng, vaguely overlapping with the enormous Heavenly Venerable Spirit Body, yet with obvious differences.

A powerful yang energy emanated from tens of thousands of feet away, like the most masculine thunder in the world, or the blazing sun. This enormous body was the manifestation of Lin Feng's soul.

"The Five Elements Generation and Destruction Formation, activate!"

The enormous soul pointed at the massive five-colored energy cluster, causing it to shake violently. Then, a primordial aura suddenly descended, as if it came from an endless, primordial land infinitely far away from this place.

"roar"

The five fully materialized sacred beasts of the Five Elements emerged one after another from within the massive energy cluster, but surprisingly, they did not form a large formation.

Instead, they either walked or flew to Lin Feng's side, their enormous divine eyes fixed on Lin Feng, who seemed tiny compared to their own bodies.

After a long while, the five sacred beasts nodded and rushed towards the five directions of heaven and earth, forming a massive formation covering the entire True Dragon Pool.

"call"

After the Five Elements Sacred Beasts left, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing an undisguised tension, and a bead of cold sweat slid down his face.

"What exactly is going on?"

Lin Feng recalled the scene just now, the terrifying pressure that was so overwhelming that it seemed as if the vast world could be easily crushed by it.

Strangely, this terrifying pressure had no effect on the surrounding area whatsoever. The True Dragon Pool remained unchanged, as if only he had sensed the fluctuations.

"Could it be that the Five Sacred Beasts of the past myths have truly cast their gaze upon the vast world?"

Lin Feng murmured to himself, this scene was simply too shocking for him.

"If that divine beast truly exists and appears in the Great Thousand World, even a ruler at the Sovereign Realm would be no stronger than an ant before it!"

"Never mind, the actions of such an existence are beyond the comprehension of a mere shrimp like me. I should focus on breaking through to the Celestial Supreme level first!"

With a change of hand seals, the terrifying array began to rotate rapidly, and endless energy was absorbed and refined by the five divine beasts before being scattered towards Lin Feng.

In an instant, it was filled with terrifying energy, and the Five Elements Imperial Codex, adapted to the rules of the universe, rapidly operated, converting spiritual power with all its might.

Cai Lin and the others were also within the great formation and received Lin Feng's care. According to the amount they could refine, a portion of the energy was diverted to their surroundings.

The auras of Little Fairy Doctor and the others rapidly increased, breaking through from the mid-stage of the Upper Earthly Sovereign to the late-stage in the blink of an eye, without stopping at all, as if they did not need to consolidate their power.

That was originally a mature true dragon, and the endless dragon power that was thrown into the True Dragon Pool after the fall of the Heavenly Supreme expert had undergone a divine transformation and was refined by the Five Elements Divine Beasts, reaching the ultimate purity.

If the true Dragon King were here, he would be shocked to discover that the dragon power refined by the great formation, in terms of quality alone, is even purer than the energy of him, a late-stage Saint-level Heavenly Sovereign.

"Given this situation, Cai Lin and the others could easily break through to the half-step Heavenly Sovereign realm, and if they have enough opportunities, they might even reach the Heavenly Sovereign realm!"

Lin Feng's enormous soul body, tens of thousands of feet tall, remained standing within the True Dragon Pool, absorbing the spiritual energy from the void and slowly increasing in strength.

"As for Zi Yan," Lin Feng watched as the endless true dragon spiritual power surged and swirled around Zi Yan, while a colossal dragon-phoenix phantom hovered above her head, helping her continuously refine the dragon power that had been refined by the great formation.

"It seems that Zi Yan must be the second Heavenly Sovereign of the Heavenly Court!"

Immediately, the tens of thousands of feet tall soul body also closed its eyes and fully activated the Five Elements Generation and Destruction Array to further purify the dragon power, making it easier for Lin Feng and the others to refine and break through their realms faster!

The vast True Dragon Pool fell silent, with only the sound of dragon roars and the faint breathing of Lin Feng and the others.

When they awaken again, it will surely be earth-shattering, and the only one watching this scene will be a constantly shifting halo of light.

At that time, Lin Feng brought the Heavenly Tomb from the Dou Qi Continent, which had been refined again in the Great Thousand World. The magical power scattered, and even time became blurred and distorted.

While Lin Feng and the others entered full-scale seclusion, in another corner of the Great Thousand World, deep within the endless underground magma, countless figures with flame patterns on their brows appeared.

"Chieftain, is that powerful figure wielding the mysterious flame truly hiding here?"

The aged voice echoed deep within the magma, unstoppable even by the constantly rising, fiery red magma that seemed capable of scorching everything.

"Under the command of our ancestor, our clan sealed off the void, so that even a Heavenly Sovereign cannot leave silently."

A middle-aged figure slowly spoke. Clearly, he was the current patriarch of the Flame God Clan, a powerful expert at the half-step Heavenly Sovereign level.

"With countless tribes mobilized, we searched the sky, the earth, and the sea many times, but we still couldn't find that mysterious being."

"The only remaining place is deep within the underground magma!"

"Our ancestor has already declared that this person must be found. The fire within him can help our ancestor advance further, and this is the hope for the expansion of our Flame God Clan."

A flame rose from the middle-aged figure's hand, seemingly displaying hundreds of colors, as if it were composed of various divine flames.

"The flames are violent and intense; once the two powerful flames get close, they become ferocious, trying to devour each other."

"The Ancestor bestowed upon him a wisp of primordial fire. As long as he gets within 100,000 miles of that mysterious person, the flame will show unusual activity. In such cases, the Ancestor will personally intervene and suppress it!"

"Our ancestor was wise!"

As these countless figures with flame patterns between their brows arrived deep within the magma, a figure in black slowly floated in a space deep within the earth's core. The aura emanating from the figure rose and fell, a sign that he was about to break through to a higher realm.

The stunningly beautiful woman beside her, who had been beaming with joy, suddenly stood up and looked up through the endless lava.

Just now, a highly concealed formation he had set up was activated.

"Damn it, someone's coming!"

The stunning figure hesitated for a moment, glanced at the black-clad figure whose eyes were still closed, gritted her teeth, her expression resolute, and with a wave of her hand, the space became hidden.

Then, he appeared alone outside the space, concealing his figure, intending to launch a sneak attack the moment the Flame God Clan appeared, thus buying time for Xiao Yan to break through.

Above the magma, as one goes deeper, the magma gradually changes from crimson to deep red, dark red, and even begins to show some black spots, like sunspots.

"Buzz"

"What is this fluctuation?"

Just then, the flames in the hands of the Flame God Clan Chief suddenly became violent, which made him look delighted.

"The mysterious person has been found!"
