Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

On the million-foot-long battle platform, the supreme battles were in full swing. After the first battle between Zhang Datou and Qian Duoduo ended, two members of the Flame God Clan also engaged in a spectacular fight.

Knowing that the Heavenly Emperor was watching this place closely, with the Heavenly Emperor's Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme level combat power, who could kill their opponent in front of him?

Therefore, all the fighters brought out their best skills, hoping to catch the eye of the Heavenly Emperor and join the Heavenly Court.

Countless strange and wonderful secret techniques were displayed one by one, leaving the audience dazzled and excited, and they couldn't help but cheer loudly.

"Brother, the ancestor has chosen you as his successor, and I am completely convinced!"

On the platform, two enormous fire gods, each thousands of feet tall, stood tall. On the shoulders of these two fire gods were Xuan Yan of the Flame God Clan and another member of the clan.

"Brother, don't be discouraged. You're only a step behind me. The future of the Flame God Clan still depends on our joint efforts!"

As the two were talking, two beams of emerald green light descended from the sky, instantly filling their Supreme Seas, which were mostly empty, and also purifying their spiritual power several levels.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

The two waited for a while, and seeing that the Heavenly Emperor had not appeared, they knew that their strength was not yet taken seriously by the Heavenly Emperor.

"Next group of contestants, please enter!"

On the high platform, the old man activated the Tower of Babel, shooting out two humanoid imprints that entered the bodies of two middle-aged men.

"Boom boom boom"

As they were decisive and shrewd individuals, the two middle-aged figures simultaneously stirred up clouds of mist as soon as they entered the arena, not wanting to expose their secret techniques.

"Boom boom boom"

The sounds of fierce battle continued to emanate, and no one knew what kind of technique this mist was, as even many supreme experts of the same level found it difficult to see through.

"My lord, do you really intend to select some of these people to recruit into the Heavenly Court?"

With her graceful figure and flowing purple waves, Zi Yan spoke up, watching the two noobs below pecking at each other with apparent interest.

"Um!"

Lin Feng nodded, his aura extremely restrained. He wore simple white clothes and had a handsome face. If one hadn't witnessed his terrifying ability to suppress a Celestial Supreme with a wave of his hand, one would have mistaken him for a noble young master.

"Although the Heavenly Court is not weak now, the potential of you, me, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Xuan and others above the top combat power is also remarkable. They will surely break through to the Heavenly Supreme in the future."

"However, our Heavenly Court still lacks a significant number of young geniuses!"

Lin Feng stood atop the Tower of Babel, gazing down at the Hundred Battles Battle Platform below, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

"Unfortunately, although the world is vast and boundless, with countless geniuses and outstanding individuals, most of them have inherited power. It is not worth the effort to truly make them work for the Heavenly Court."

"What does my husband mean?"

Cai Lin suddenly spoke up. As her husband of many years, she had already vaguely sensed something.

"It has been ten years since we ascended to the Great Thousand World. Now I have the combat power of a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, and with the help of Zi Yan and Junior Brother Xiao Yan."

"I think it's time to bring the Dou Qi Continent into the broader world!"

"Brother Lin Feng."

The Little Fairy Doctor, who had been smiling at the group like a serene goddess, finally spoke up.

"When we ascended to heaven, Xiaoyu and the others were just a few years old. Now, ten years have passed, they must be adults by now!"

Before it was mentioned, Little Fairy Doctor didn't think much of it, after all, their children were all descendants of Dou Di, and even because of Lin Feng, they were born at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Lin Feng also killed the Demon Emperor and saved the Dou Qi Continent. They would not be oppressed. However, that's how mothers are. Even if they know their children are doing well, they will still worry.

"Once the Heavenly Court Grand Competition is over, we can begin to refine the grand formation. It won't be easy to control an entire continent."

As Lin Feng spoke, a massive light screen appeared before him, within which an extremely complex array was inscribed.

"The Dou Qi Continent is vast, far beyond what this floating continent beneath our feet can compare to. Even though my power now far surpasses that of when I first entered the Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign realm, it is still extremely difficult."

"More importantly, although the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World belong to the same universe, I have also refined the Plane Embryo, which can reduce a lot of resistance."

"However, the distance between the two places is too far, and we also need to ensure that the Dou Qi Continent is not split or damaged during its ascension, and that the creatures on it are not harmed."

"Therefore, we must now forge a massive array!"

"My lord, is there anything we can do for you?"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, please feel free to ask if you need anything!"

Upon hearing that Lin Feng intended to elevate the Dou Qi Continent to the Great Thousand World, Xiao Yan immediately rushed over, wanting to contribute his share. He had originally left with Xun'er to hide in the audience and observe the various methods of the Great Thousand World.

"Now that I am the only Saint-level warrior in the Heavenly Court, this great formation must naturally revolve around me, and then unify your forces. Therefore, the core of this great formation is the Five Elements!"

Lin Feng pointed, and the light screen in front of him magnified again so that everyone could see it clearly.

"The Five Elements Formation requires a Heavenly Sovereign to suppress each element. Now we have Junior Brother Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, both Heavenly Sovereigns. The Tower of Babel can also be considered a Heavenly Sovereign."

"There is also the Five Elements Heavenly Emperor Sword, but that's not appropriate. This sword is still being nurtured and cannot be released for the time being. Therefore, we still need to find two Heavenly Sovereigns."

Lin Feng looked down at his feet. Deep within the Tower of Babel, a five-colored light seemed to sense his gaze and began to vibrate slightly.

"This is for dealing with the Heavenly Evil God. If the gestation process is interrupted, we don't know when the next opportunity will come."

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, could you use Ancestor Xiao Xuan and the others to form a grand formation that gathers two Heavenly Sovereign-level battle spirits, or perhaps invite two Heavenly Sovereigns to come and help?"

Upon hearing that two more Heavenly Sovereigns were still missing, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Ten years had passed, and he missed many of his old friends on the Dou Qi Continent.

"This method is feasible, but the most important thing is to successfully complete this grand formation. Otherwise, the Dou Qi Continent might split apart during its ascension process!"

"In that case, let us find the materials for this grand formation!"

"Hmm, quite vicious, actually intending to kill!"

Just then, Lin Feng had a thought, and suddenly the wind and clouds gathered on the hundred-foot battle platform. The five elements of energy condensed into a five-colored hand, which fiercely grabbed down into the mist below.

"The Heavenly Emperor!?"

Upon seeing the five-colored energy hand, many powerful figures in the audience stood up, staring intently at its movements. "Could something have happened?"

"boom"

The five-colored hand grabbed down, and the endless mist immediately dissipated. Under the hands of a Heavenly Sovereign like Lin Feng, even the future Great Ruler at the Sovereign level would be nothing more than chickens fighting each other, let alone two random Sovereigns.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for saving my life!"

After a middle-aged man with tattered clothes got up, he immediately knelt on one knee and repeatedly bowed to the giant hand in the sky in gratitude.

As Lin Feng rescued them, he used the Wood element's Creation and Life Force to heal their injuries, and incidentally, the quality of their spiritual energy was also significantly improved.

This applies to every contestant; it can be considered a small perk for them.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

The other middle-aged man, sensing the increase in spiritual power within his body, could not hide his joy and thanked the sky, while secretly thinking to himself.

"I won this match. Even if I lose the next one, will my spiritual power still increase?"

"The winner is Zhou Tian. Please step down. The next group will take the stage!"

On the high-altitude referee platform, the old man saw the five-colored hand separate the two and then disperse. Knowing the Heavenly Emperor's meaning, he shouted again.

"Boom boom boom"

"Slap slap slap"

With each shout from the old man, groups of supreme experts appeared on the battle stage, each displaying their unique style. Some of their methods even amazed Lin Feng.

After secretly investigating and identifying the rogue cultivators among them, he secretly gave instructions that once the competition ended, these individuals would be asked if they were willing to become members of the Heavenly Court.

After the sun rose and set, and the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit took turns in several cycles, only twenty contestants remained in the Supreme Competition.

The ancient Futu clan's Qing Yanjing, the Tailing ancient clan's prospective saintess Nangong, the True Dragon clan's young dragon Ao Taichu, Jiao Guang, the True Wind clan's Qin Mu, and Huang Shengnan.

These twenty beings, apart from a few rogue cultivators who fell off a cliff in their childhood, are all young members of super powers, each with a Heavenly Sovereign suppressing them within their clan, possessing profound foundations.

"Is this the beginning of the strongest showdown among the younger generation?"

After several days and nights of continuous battle, the twenty strongest beings were finally selected from among tens of thousands of supreme experts.

Many sharp gazes fell upon the twenty powerful figures in the arena. If they were ordinary supreme experts, they would probably have already succumbed to the pressure and be covered in sweat.

On this million-foot-long battle stage, even those who dare not participate in the competition and can only watch from the audience are at least Supreme-level experts.

Only true geniuses can withstand so many gazes filled with curiosity, malice, covetousness, and even veiled murderous intent.

At the Supreme Realm, they had already reached the pinnacle of cultivation. Even a Heavenly Supreme Realm cultivator wouldn't be much stronger than these twenty prodigies.

"Gentlemen, the Heavenly Emperor has issued a decree!"

Just as the old man on the referee's platform was about to speak, a majestic voice echoed in his mind, startling him. He then reacted and immediately spoke.

"The Heavenly Emperor spoke at the very last moment of the Supreme Competition. Could it be that something has changed about the competition?"

Not only the twenty prodigies in the arena, but also many powerful figures in the audience listened intently at this moment.

"The Heavenly Emperor has decreed that this final showdown will change the rules of the competition, transforming the one-on-one battles into a free-for-all."

"A massive free-for-all!?"

"In other words, once I announce the start of the competition, you may choose your opponents at random. You can have a fair one-on-one duel, or you can team up to target one person specifically."

"As long as we follow the previous rules and don't use any external force, the Heavenly Emperor says that the true strong will always prevail!"

"Of course, anyone who wants to quit can do so at any time."

The old man smiled, somewhat puzzled as to why the Heavenly Emperor had suddenly changed the rules of the competition, but he found it quite interesting.

"If no one withdraws, I hereby declare the Supreme Grand Competition Finals officially open!"

"Boom boom boom"

As soon as the words were spoken, a fierce roar erupted in the arena. It wasn't that the twenty prodigies had started fighting, but rather that many powerful figures in the audience were engaged in a heated discussion.

"Gentlemen, what do you think the Heavenly Emperor means by this?"

"Whatever his meaning is, I've been watching battles for days, and I'm already tired of it. If it weren't for wanting to know who the ten strongest supreme beings in the Great Thousand World are, I would have left long ago."

"Then you can leave!"

"You insist on talking back to me, huh? Don't leave after the match, I'll beat you right here on this stage!"

"Who's afraid of who!"

"The Heavenly Emperor's sudden change of rules seems to be disadvantageous to those rogue cultivators. Will the powerful figures from various super forces unite to eliminate them first?"

"Heh, if the Heavenly Emperor doesn't change the rules, they truly have no chance."

"What does this fellow mean? Does he mean that after the rules changed, they can actually get the final seats?"

"Exactly!"

On the battle platform, many powerful figures remained motionless, all looking warily at the other dozen or so people, not daring to make the first move for fear of being put on the defensive.

"A rogue cultivator is still a rogue cultivator. So what if he gets lucky and obtains an astonishing inheritance? The strongest people in several super powers all have Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns in existence."

"If it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor, they would never have had the chance to fight fairly in their entire lives. This is because of their status and background; powerful forces will not allow their successors to be born when they are weak."

"My friend, if what you say is true, isn't this precisely their chance for a fair fight before the Heavenly Emperor changes the rules?"

The many spectators around the old man nodded, expressing their utter bewilderment at his explanation.

"Little Fengzi, by changing the rules of the competition, aren't you just depriving those rogue cultivators of their chance for a fair fight?"

Not only many viewers, but even Zi Yan, who is usually not fond of thinking, looked puzzled and asked in confusion.

"A rogue cultivator is just a rogue cultivator after all. Even if he obtains a fortuitous inheritance, his foundation is far inferior to that of a scion of a powerful clan who has a systematic upbringing."

"If it were a fair fight, they would undoubtedly lose!"

Lin Feng slowly shook his head, a hint of emotion on his face.

Back then, he was just a country bumpkin from the Northwest Continent. If he hadn't been lucky enough to inherit the legacy of an unknown alchemist, and then used the information gap to deceive the old alchemist and obtain many of his alchemy techniques, he probably wouldn't be the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Thousand World today.

"Only through a chaotic melee, relying on strategy and the wisdom of battle, is there a sliver of hope for the weak to defeat the strong. That is why I changed the way I compete."

"The Heavenly Court's Supreme Competition will not only determine the ten strongest Supremes, but these ten Supremes must also possess the wisdom of battle!"

"The winner takes all! With the Heavenly Court's reward of a hundred bottles of elixirs, even a pig could break through and become a Supreme Being!"

"This can be considered my way of giving back to the world!"
