Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

While the Heavenly Court Grand Competition was in full swing in the vast world, a momentous event also occurred on the Dou Qi Continent, separated by endless distances of time and space.

"roar"

All that could be heard were the roars of dragons coming from the sky, piercing through the clouds and never ceasing!

Before the countless beings of the Dou Qi Continent could even wonder what great action the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was up to amidst such a multitude and dense array of dragon roars, they witnessed a scene that utterly shocked them.

Above, countless golden energy dragons roared, some thousands or even tens of thousands of feet tall, while others were less than three feet long, barely bigger than a finger.

"Could this strange phenomenon indicate the birth of another Dragon Emperor?"

On this vast land, there are many knowledgeable passersby who, looking up at the sky, murmur to themselves.

"A hundred years ago, the extraterrestrial evil race emerged, and three exceptionally talented geniuses were born. In an era where becoming an emperor was impossible, they achieved the supreme status of Dou Di!"

"One of them is the current Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. When he became a Dou Di, the phenomena were even more dazzling than they are now."

"Of course! As far as I know, that Dragon Emperor back then was not only the wife of Heaven and Earth and the current Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, but also one of the few Dragon-Phoenixes in the endless history of the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Dragon and Phoenix, how could you possibly know such secrets, and how could you possibly know if they are true?"

"Hehe, I am actually just a passerby with some status. The husband of my seventh aunt's son's daughter is a centurion in the Heavenly Court's army, a high-level Dou Zun."

"How dare I speak recklessly about news involving the Heavenly Emperors?"

"I see. I had no idea you had such an identity. My apologies for not recognizing you!"

"."

The speculations of the many creatures on earth could not affect the enormous energy dragons in the sky, which roamed freely and joyfully.

Somewhere on Dragon Island, several figures who had been in seclusion for a long time slowly opened their eyes. A terrifying aura flashed by, faintly echoing the many ancient dragons in the sky.

"Grandpa Dragons, you've finally broken through to the Dou Di realm!"

A voice that seemed to have been waiting for a long time came, and then the owner of the voice appeared, wearing a pure white robe, on which the five elements of heaven and earth were engraved, and dragons and phoenixes were wrapped around it, making him look very noble.

This young figure is none other than Lin Xu, the son of the Heavenly Emperor Lin Feng and the Dragon-Phoenix Emperor!

"Hahaha, little Xu'er, we old folks are getting on in years. If it weren't for your maternal grandfather and mother cleansing our bloodlines, we might never have had the chance to break through to the Dou Di realm in our lifetime!"

"Yeah, I never thought that we old guys would one day be able to break through to the Dou Di realm!"

"Yeah?"

Lin Xu scratched his head. As the son of two Dou Di, his mother was a rare dragon-phoenix, and his father was even more powerful than Dou Di. He was born with the intention of breaking through to Dou Di.

If it weren't for Lin Feng's sealing, which worried that Lin Xu's use of power would be too crude, Lin Xu would have been at the Dou Di realm from the moment he was born.

Therefore, he really didn't have much understanding of the difficulty of breaking through to the Dou Di level.

"We four old dragons have broken through; the others should be close behind!"

As Zhugong finished speaking, the sky above the Dou Qi Continent changed once again. While endless divine dragons roamed, flames appeared from nowhere and burned fiercely, instantly covering the entire sky.

"Hahaha, I, Yan Jin, have finally broken through to the Dou Di realm!"

"Hahaha, old friend, I, Lei Ying, won't lose to you by much!"

It was as if the Thunder God was striking the heavens with thunder, and then streaks of lightning appeared, including Nine Profound Golden Thunder, Black Demon Thunder, and all sorts of strange and terrifying thunderbolts that exploded in the sky.

"Damn old man, you beat me to it!"

A slightly immature voice rang out, then grew louder and louder, eventually transforming into an ancient thunderous sound that shook countless sounds across the Dou Qi Continent.

The greatest sound is silence; in that instant, all sound vanished!

Before their hearing and perception could recover, a terrifying bolt of lightning struck from the depths of the sky. A golden lightning dragon of extreme terror roamed in, carrying countless bolts of lightning. Countless black demon lightning and nine-dimensional golden lightning surrounded it and cheered, as if they had seen the Emperor of Lightning!

At the head of this ancient thunder dragon, a young celestial being stood, a lightning pattern flashing between his brows, dressed in a robe of lightning, and holding a thunder god's halberd, truly a peerless figure.

If a powerful being were to have sharp eyes and see through the true nature of this young god, they would be shocked to discover that this young god bears a striking resemblance to the towering statue of the Heavenly Emperor on the Central Plains.

"Haha, so it's my nephew Jinglei! Congratulations!"

Lei Ying was somewhat pleased to see Lin Jinglei arrive. Over the years, the two had studied Lei Yi's path together and ultimately achieved mutual success.

Yan Jin was able to become a Dou Di because of Lin Feng and Xiao Yan. The insights they left behind contained extremely detailed descriptions of the Dao of Fire.

However, there is relatively little knowledge of the Dao of Thunder, so the two often spar.

Lei Ying possesses the legacy of the Thunder Emperor, and the "Emperor Thunder Chapter" can be said to have enlightened Lin Jinglei's path. Lin Jinglei himself is the embodiment of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, and his understanding of thunder can be said to have reached its peak.

The two complement each other, which is why they were able to break through to the Dou Di level so quickly!

"Hahaha, Little Thunderclap, you've finally broken through to the Dou Di realm and transformed into Emperor Thunder!"

Just then, at the edge of the sky, four enormous ancient dragons appeared, and on the head of one of them stood Lin Xu.

"Yes, you've all broken through. It seems it's time for us to ascend to the Great Thousand World and find our fathers!"

Xiao Xiao and the others flew into the sky to congratulate the old dragons who had broken through and Lei Ying and the others, and then looked towards the direction of the Starfall Pavilion in the Central Continent.

"Xiao Lin, isn't Elder Yao about to break through as well?"

As soon as Xiao Xiao finished speaking, it seemed that Elder Yao also sensed it, and endless divine light shot into the sky from the depths of the back mountain of Xingyun Pavilion.

In the sky above the Dou Qi Continent, countless beings looked up and saw countless strange phenomena, with winds and clouds rising again, and countless pale white flames spreading across the sky.

This pale white flame was incredibly strange. Although flames are usually synonymous with heat, this pale white flame was completely different. The moment I saw it, I felt a chill well up from the bottom of my heart.

"It seems that Elder Yao's most powerful method still lies in dealing with this Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"

"Hahaha, I've become emperor by sheer luck! I've kept you all waiting!"

A figure in white robes soared into the sky from the back mountain of Starfall Pavilion, his hearty laughter barely contained, filling Yao Chen's heart with joy.

"I never imagined that I, an outcast of the Medicine Clan, would one day become a Dou Di!"

Yao Chen sighed inwardly, but did not voice his thoughts.

When Xiao Yan was chosen by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe to inherit the legacy within the ancient emperor's stone statue, Yao Dan had already respectfully returned to the Yao Clan and placed the memorial tablets of his parents inside the temple.

When countless members of the Medicine Clan were worshipping their ancestors, his parents were also being worshipped. Unfortunately, he would never return to the Medicine Clan.

However, he did not completely sever the connection. For example, now that he has become a Dou Di, the bloodline of the Yao Clan has become much stronger. Perhaps, in the future, a member of the Yao Clan will become an Emperor because of this.

"The Medicine Clan made a mistake back then!"

Deep within the realm of medicine, Yao Dan sensed the power of this newly born bloodline. A powerful aura surged into the sky, and with the help of Yao Chen becoming an emperor, and the bloodline counterattacking, he broke through to the nine-star Dou Sheng realm.

At the same time, in the vast realm of medicine, countless descendants also experienced explosive auras, but none of them instantly became Battle Saints.

Yao Chen and the Yao Clan no longer share a close blood relationship.

"Medicine Clan, heed my command! From this day forward, the Medicine Clan's rules are amended. All Medicine Clan disciples, as long as they possess great talent, will no longer be judged by bloodline and will receive equal training!"

Yao Chen was unaware of the various changes that had occurred within the Medicine Clan, and even if he had known, he most likely would never have returned to this place of sorrow.

"Everyone, we now have twelve Dou Di, which is no less than when my father ascended to immortality."

"It has been a long time since they ascended to the Great Thousand Worlds, yet there is still no sign of their return. I wish to ascend to find them. What do you think?"

Xiao Xiao stood in the void, her red robes fluttering, her figure slender and graceful, her charm no less than that of her mother, Queen Medusa.

"My niece Xiaoxiao, are we really going to ascend to the Great Thousand World?"

At this critical juncture, Lei Ying, who was usually fearless, suddenly hesitated and seemed indecisive.

"When Lin Feng ascended, he had already surpassed the Dou Di realm. That realm is beyond our current imagination."

"Perhaps this is why their soul tablets still shine brightly, even though they have never returned."

"The world is full of unknowns. If we ascend to the territory of that extraterrestrial evil race, wouldn't we be walking into a trap? Shouldn't we wait for Lin Feng and the others to return?"

Lei Ying's words caused everyone to fall into deep thought, and for a moment they hesitated.

"Haha, Uncle Lei Ying, your consideration is indeed very good. However, I have been separated from my father and mother for too long, and I really miss them."

Lin Xu laughed loudly. Having inherited Zi Yan's temperament, he was always fearless. Lei Ying's words only made him hesitate for a moment before he immediately cut them off.

"Xiao Xu is right. We are all the strongest beings on the Dou Qi Continent, the supreme emperors. How can we be frightened by this unknown world?"

Xiao Xiao parted her red lips slightly, displaying the decisiveness characteristic of Medusa. Several second-generation Dou Di from the Heavenly Court nodded in agreement, deciding to ascend to heaven on a chosen day.

"Ah, before the Dragon Emperor and Princess Ziyan ascended to heaven, they instructed us old buddies to make sure we took good care of Xiao Xu."

Zhu Gong stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "This old bone of mine is ready to challenge the unknown!"

"Little Yanzi has been gone for almost a century, and I do miss him a little!"

Yao Chen smiled and nodded, his white robes fluttering freely, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

"Haha, it seems I've been getting more and more backward over the years."

Inspired by everyone, Lei Ying also shook off his worries and laughed heartily.

"Back then, even when faced with the Demon Emperor, I never yielded an inch. Hesitating now is truly unwise. Count me in when I ascend to the Great Thousand Realms!"

"This vast world is full of mysteries and unknowns. Above the Dou Di realm, how could I, Yan Jin, be left out of such an interesting place?"

"In that case, everyone go back and prepare. Ten days from now, we will ascend together before the statues of the emperors in the central square of the Heavenly Court!"

Many Dou Di nodded, then transformed into dazzling divine light and returned to their respective clan territories, to give final instructions before their ascension.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, in the former site of Saint Pill City in the Central Continent, now the core location of the Heavenly Court, countless densely packed figures stood.

The Flame Clan with flame patterns etched between their brows, the burly Thunder Clan, and many alchemists dressed in alchemist robes—now the Heavenly Court's Alchemy Department, formerly disciples of the Pill Tower—were present.

The snake-people who came from the Beast Realm, the many ancient dragons from Dragon Island, the group from the Gama Empire in the Northwest Region, and many elders and students from Canaan Academy.

"Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. It seems like only yesterday that Lin Feng and the others ascended to immortality, and now, their children are about to ascend to the Great Thousand Worlds!"

Elder Su Qian stroked his beard. This elder of the inner courtyard looked middle-aged, but his aura was extremely powerful. He was none other than Su Sheng, who was famous throughout the Northwest region!

Behind him stood the Thousands of Saints, as well as the former Fire Elder, now the Fire Saint.

"Yes, I seem to vaguely recall Lin Feng's extremely powerful alchemy skills when he first came to Canaan Academy."

Elder Huo's gaze lingered. For some reason, although he had already broken through to the Dou Sheng realm and had a long lifespan, he still looked like a fiery old man.

Although he has been retired for many years, he is still wearing the robes of an elder in the alchemy department.

"Even Xiaoxiao and the others are about to ascend, but Lin Feng still hasn't returned. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see him again in this lifetime!"

A slightly overweight middle-aged man listened with a look of emotion on his face.

This man was none other than Hu Qian, the vice dean of the School of Foreign Languages. Many years ago, he had given up his position as vice dean and spent his days leisurely drinking tea and playing chess with others, living a very happy life.

His only worry was the marriage of his granddaughter, Hu Jia, who was now the Grand Elder of the Inner Court and was once the little devil.

"Gentlemen, it's almost time!"

Just then, Lin Xu looked up at the sky, and his Pure Yang Emperor Realm soul frantically spread outwards from the Dou Qi Continent, trying his best to capture the summoning intent of the vast world in the dark.

"Boom boom boom"

"They're here!"

With a soft shout, the expressions of many powerful figures on the plaza tightened as they looked towards the horizon. A terrifying wave emanated from the sky, seemingly capable of instantly crushing even a Dou Sheng powerhouse across endless space.

"Buzz"

A massive rift suddenly appeared in the sky, and deep within the void, pitch blackness filled the air, with an incredibly terrifying aura of devouring emanating from the opening.

"The Great Path has been opened. Farewell, everyone!"

Lin Xuxiao and the others waved to the many figures below, and then without hesitation, more than a dozen figures transformed into divine light and rushed into the terrifying dark passage.

On the Dou Qi Continent, Lin Xu and the others, eager to reunite with Lin Feng, didn't have time to wait for him to return to the Dou Qi Continent and had already ascended to the Great Thousand World. However, Lin Feng and the others, far away in the far north of the Great Thousand World, were unaware of this.

At this moment, on the million-foot-high battle platform above the floating continent, the final melee of the Supreme Competition is underway, with many young geniuses from the Great Thousand Worlds fighting to the point of madness.

The enormous pagoda suppressed the void, the phantom of a true dragon roared across the world, and the true dragon and the true phoenix merged into one, forcing several geniuses into a corner. The other beings also displayed their supernatural abilities.

Countless super ancient clans and super divine beasts possessed their most treasured supernatural abilities and secret techniques, a dazzling array that was incredibly powerful.

In the audience, some beings who had just been promoted to Earthly Sovereigns had extremely solemn expressions.

"As expected of the heir to a super power, I'm afraid even a true Earthly Sovereign wouldn't be able to gain much advantage in front of them."

"Those few rogue cultivators are also quite good. Although they are a step below the heirs of major powers, they did not immediately show any weakness when they joined forces."

"If we can seize the opportunity, we might have a chance to fight back!"

"The pagoda will suppress the world!"

On the battle platform, a woman gave a soft shout, and countless spiritual energies within her Supreme Sea burned wildly, her aura sharp and fierce, like that of a female war goddess.

"The supreme divine power of the Ancient Buddha Clan? My True Dragon Clan is no less powerful than them, Primordial Dragon Roar!"

The young man from the True Dragon Clan had a solemn expression as his hand seals changed rapidly. A colossal True Dragon body, thousands of feet long, appeared behind him—his true form.

Although divine beasts do not possess the Dharma bodies cultivated by humans, they are in no way weaker than humans. This is because their true forms are far more terrifying. The true forms of super divine beasts can even rank among the top fifteen on the Dharma Body Ranking!

"Victorious Man, Phoenixes United!"

"good!"

Zhenfeng Qinmu and Zhenhuang Huang Shengnan exchanged a glance, their figures vanishing instantly. Then, on the massive battle platform, two super divine beasts nearly ten thousand feet tall appeared, which were their true forms.

"Brother Kui, Brother Shaofu, the three of us are rogue cultivators. Although we have had many fortunate encounters, we are ultimately not as well-established as the heirs of these super powers. We must join forces now!"

On the battle platform, a rogue cultivator stared solemnly at the terrifying pagoda, then looked at the several terrifying super divine beasts, and said in a low voice.

"Brother Yanmie is right. We rogue cultivators must join forces to have any chance of obtaining a seat!"

"As Brother Yanmie said!"

Several rogue cultivators joined forces, and their auras subtly merged into one, resembling a secret technique from some continent—the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique!

"Great Destruction Light!"

"Endless Devouring Flame!"

"."

Many powerful figures unleashed their strongest moves. At this point in the battle, none of them would back down an inch. If they could just hold on for a little longer, they would become one of the top ten in the Heavenly Court's Supreme Grand Competition.

A hundred bottles of pills for cultivating at the same level can even break through to the next level without affecting one's foundation. Even super powers like Huang Shengnan or super divine beasts in the Floating Pagoda Realm would be extremely envious.

"Boom boom boom!"

Dozens of terrifying divine lights shone on the battle platform, carrying terrifying divine power, and slammed down on the opponent. The moment they collided, a deafening roar resounded through the sky.

"Who's winning?"

After a long while, many eyes in the audience were fixed on the mist above the battle platform. No sound had been heard for a long time, which puzzled everyone.

"Did they all perish together?"

A gentle breeze, seemingly from nowhere, dispelled the thick fog, finally revealing the battle between the twenty prodigies on the battle platform to everyone.

"A super power, truly a super power!"

Someone sighed softly, and many powerful figures nodded silently. On the battle platform, the three rogue cultivators had already fallen to the ground, their breaths weak.

At this moment, the only ones still standing are Qing Yanjing of the Futu Ancient Clan, Ao Taichu and Jiao Guang of the True Dragon Clan, and Qin Mu and Huang Shengnan of the True Wind Clan.

In addition, the other five beings are also holy sons of various major powers.

"The outcome is decided. We beseech the Heavenly Emperor to bestow elixirs upon the ten strongest warriors!"

High above the referee's platform, the old man faced the towering pagoda, bowed, and shouted.

"Buzz"

The space rippled slightly, and then Lin Feng's figure appeared on the high platform. With a wave of his hand, twenty beams of emerald green light fell, restoring them to their peak condition.

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is invincible!"

"."

In the audience, countless powerful figures immediately stood up the moment they saw Lin Feng. Looking at his outstanding figure, they all showed fanaticism and shouted wildly.

"At the end of this vast world, who stands at the peak? Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor, all worldly paths vanish!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil as he subtly observed the countless figures in the audience.

Without anyone noticing, he saw through the physical bodies, bloodlines, bone marrow, and even souls of countless powerful individuals.

"Could such a famous line have come from a kindred spirit, traversing the river of time?"

As his gaze shifted, a storm of thoughts raged within Lin Feng's mind: "If that's really the case, would I have the chance to travel through time and space?"

Lin Feng tried to sense the situation with his Pure Yang Emperor Soul, but found nothing unusual. He had no choice but to give up. If such a being truly existed, even a Sovereign Realm expert probably wouldn't be able to detect it.

"Everyone, after five days and five nights of non-stop battle, we have mastered supernatural powers, secret techniques, supreme Dharma bodies, and the bodies of super divine beasts."

The various actions seemed complicated, but they only took a few breaths. Seeing that the search was fruitless, Lin Feng came back to his senses and looked at the ten young men and women standing in front of him.

"With your various powerful techniques, even at my Supreme level, I'm not certain I can defeat you!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Qing Yanjing and the others, who had been relatively calm, suddenly became so excited that their bodies trembled.

Although the Heavenly Emperor is powerful, he is still a step weaker than the other ancestors of their clan. They are all geniuses who are rare in the clan, and their future achievements will not be much less than Lin Feng's current ones.

Therefore, although they were somewhat excited to see this renowned Heavenly Emperor in person, they did not show it very obviously.

The Heavenly Emperor's words were a direct acknowledgment of their achievements, which made them somewhat complacent.

However, what they didn't know was that Lin Feng, who was smiling in front of everyone, was actually thinking something else entirely.

"Young people from powerful families, despite their exceptional talent, lack experience and are easily manipulated."

"I ascended from a lower plane, and was born as a Heavenly Sovereign. Even the Earthly Sovereign realm was crossed by me in an instant, let alone the Worldly Sovereign realm, which is even lower."

"Even I myself don't know just how powerful I am at the Supreme Realm, or how I could possibly compare to you."

Lin Feng would not say such words. After saying some more words of praise, the towering pagoda behind him trembled slightly and sprayed out a thousand rays of spiritual light, within which were jade bottles of the same size.

After the ten people in front of him put away the pills, Lin Feng nodded again, his figure transforming into a stream of five-colored light as he returned to the top of the Tower of Babel.
