Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

In the far north of the Great Thousand Worlds, a massive floating continent hangs high in the sky, and above this floating continent, a five-colored battle platform, two hundred thousand feet tall, floats suspended.

The two hundred thousand battle platform was divided into two parts, with the remaining one hundred thousand feet transformed into the audience seating area, where numerous spectators could stand, sit cross-legged, gather, or be alone.

Lin Feng manipulated the Five Elements to create heaven and earth, so naturally he wouldn't allow so many powerful figures to crowd into a small space to watch the competition.

In the center of this 100,000-zhang audience area is another 100,000-zhang area, or rather, a 100,000-zhang area folded by Lin Feng using spatial techniques.

If its seal is broken, this 100,000-zhang battle platform will immediately expand a hundredfold, reaching a size of tens of millions of zhang, much larger than the floating continent beneath its feet.

Such methods are truly earth-shattering. Of course, this is simply using the principles of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements to create a lifeless land!

To truly create such a vast and vibrant world, even if Lin Feng were to achieve the level of a true Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, that would be impossible.

That kind of world would probably only be possible if it truly reached the limits of the universe and ranked on the Heavenly Ranking!

"The Emperor's Flame Transformation, good heavens, Xiao Xuan, you're as cunning as ever!"

Inside the battle arena, Huang Quan, who seemed like a god, spoke up. Looking at Xiao Xuan, who was using the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, he was both amused and exasperated. This was simply too much of a cheat!

"Haha, this doesn't count as relying on his power. I just obtained a wisp of Emperor Flame from Xiao Yan and nurtured it to this point myself."

"And," Xiao Xuan smiled mysteriously, "it's not over yet!"

"The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, the Second Transformation: The Profound Flame Transformation!"

A flame rose up on Xiao Xuan's body once again. Xuan Yan, as the name suggests, is the natal fire he cultivated with his own origin. He has been nurturing it since he became a Dou Di and it is no weaker than anyone else's!

As soon as the second flame appeared, Xiao Xuan's aura surged again, and he had already stepped into the threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign realm. If Huang Quan had no other means, Xiao Xuan could have completely crushed him based solely on his realm.

"call"

Huang Quan exhaled softly and chuckled lightly.

"If that's all you're capable of, while you're powerful, it's not enough to defeat me!"

"Really? In that case, how about this move?"

Xiao Xuan shouted, and a flame surged out of his body once more. His aura surged again, and he stepped out with his other foot, his aura reaching the level of Heavenly Sovereign!

"The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, the Third Transformation: The Five-Colored Imperial Flame Transformation!"

"Referee, he cheated! Declare him the loser!"

Upon seeing the flames, Huang Quan's expression changed drastically. He immediately flew up to the referee's platform high in the sky and shouted at the old man.

"this"

On the judge's platform, the old man hesitated, unsure of what to do. Huang Quan and Xiao Xuan were both commanders of the Heavenly Court's army and came from the same world as the Heavenly Emperor. He did not want to offend either of them.

"Hahaha, Huang Quan, if you're scared, just say so. I might even fight you to a draw for the sake of your pride, as long as you call me 'elder brother'!"

Xiao Xuan laughed loudly, using a provocation tactic. Huang Quan indeed fell for his move, flying down and landing on the platform, only a thousand miles apart.

"I was just teasing you. You have the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, but do you think I, Huang Quan, don't have some hidden trump card?"

"Do you dare to decide the outcome with a single move?"

"Hahaha, what's there to be afraid of? The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire is my strongest technique. If you can break through it, then I have naturally lost!"

Xiao Xuan laughed loudly, feeling the surging power within his body. This was the power of the Heavenly Supreme God. With such power in his body, how could he possibly lose?

"Look at this move, the Yellow Springs Heaven is enraged!"

"Moo!"

The colossal Yellow Spring Emperor's body, spanning 100,000 feet, rapidly formed hand seals. A hazy, mysterious yellow soul, seemingly carrying a hint of the turbid aura of the underworld, appeared behind him, a massive 300,000 feet in size!

Compared to the Yellow Spring Emperor's body, this soul seems more like an existence in the underworld. The Yellow Spring River flows around it, and countless skeletons float in the river, some intact and some incomplete, all seemingly pitiful people who drowned in the Yellow Spring.

"Moo!"

The enormous soul opened its eyes and roared at the Xuan Emperor's body a thousand miles away. With a "moo," countless sound waves surged forth, instantly shattering the space along the way and being swept away by the Yellow Springs River.

"Your soul power has actually reached this level!"

Xiao Xuan's face showed extreme shock. This kind of power had already surpassed the Emperor Realm soul and reached the level above the Emperor. Corresponding to the level of the Great Thousand World, that is the Heavenly Supreme level soul.

"Hahaha, even knowing I'm doomed to lose, I'll still see what's so extraordinary about this Heavenly Supreme's soul!"

"Burning Flames, go!"

"raging!"

Three terrifying flames intertwined on the body of the Xuan Emperor. Even the weakest Xuan Emperor Flame could easily burn an Earthly Sovereign to ashes. The Emperor Flame and the Five-Colored Emperor Flame were even more terrifying. Even a single wisp of flame was enough to make a Heavenly Sovereign wary.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan fully activated the flame, burning fiercely towards the terrifying torrent of sound waves. The Dao of Fire and the Dao of Water, these energies that are inherently mutually restraining, instantly expanded together.

"Zzzzz, zezzzz!"

The sound of flames going out could be heard repeatedly. The flames seemed unwilling to be defeated, and from time to time they transformed into ferocious demonic beasts, burning the waters of the Yellow Springs and turning them into mist that rose into the sky.

Both of them were outstanding individuals below the Heavenly Supreme. The water and fire divine powers they used at full strength created a sky full of mist, which even Master Dong could not see clearly when he used the Great Ink Splash Immortal Painting at full power.

"Who's winning?"

Many eyes were fixed on the battle platform, where a mist swirled, obscuring the view. The power of the two was so immense that the mist would likely not dissipate anytime soon.

On the high-altitude platform, the old man was also at a loss. He was just an ordinary Great Perfection Earth Supreme. Although he could temporarily use the power of the Tower of Babel, it was still an external force.

If it were a contest of inner strength, he would immediately be exposed as nothing. He couldn't even see through the aftershocks of Xiao Xuan's battle with Huang Quan.

He couldn't very well use the power of the Tower of Babel to blast away the mist and see who won, could he? If their battle wasn't over yet, but he caused a reversal of fortune, he'd be in for a world of trouble after the competition ended.

"Old Han, announce the result. I lost!"

Just then, Xiao Xuan's voice pierced through the thick mist and reached the old man's ears, causing him to pause slightly before reacting and shouting.

"Xiao Xuan of Heaven battles Huang Quan of Heaven; the winner, Huang Quan, next up!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the mist suddenly began to move rapidly, forming a huge vortex that sucked it in, and then converged into the River of the Underworld.

However, the flow of the Yellow Springs River was less than 30% of what it used to be. Clearly, although the Yellow Springs defeated Xiao Xuan, it was not an easy victory for them!

"roar"

After Xiao Xuan and his companion left, a young man in the audience stood up and slowly stepped out. With a deafening dragon's roar, the man suddenly soared into the sky, transforming into a massive ancient dragon and charging into the battle arena.

"Boom!"

An enormous, heaven-reaching divine staff suddenly crashed down from the sky, cracking the five-colored stone bricks on the battle platform and even affecting the deepest parts of the battlefield.

"Master Dong, what is this?"

"The Ruyi Tongtian Staff is a descendant of the Tongtian Ape clan. This clan possesses extraordinary divine power, and when they are born, their eyes radiate divine light that shoots into the heavens and earth, causing an awe-inspiring event!"

Master Dong stared at the colossal staff that reached the heavens in the arena, his voice slightly low, and the surrounding supreme beings unconsciously lowered their voices in discussion.

"Born with the cultivation of a supreme being, all our years of cultivation have been for naught!"

"Thump!"

A heavy thud echoed as everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a golden ape that had appeared on the towering staff at some point, its body no more than five feet tall.

If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of figures in the audience, all of whom were at least supreme-level powerhouses, they would probably subconsciously overlook the existence of this figure.

"Yuan Tongtian, you've finally arrived! This prince has long desired to fight you!"

"Oh?"

The golden ape scratched at the monkey trainer, its eyes still a little dazed, as if it had just noticed the giant dragon opposite it, and then chuckled.

"Ao Kun, what are you doing here?"

"you!"

The winding dragon's eyes suddenly widened to their maximum, filled with uncontrollable rage. Its enormous body panted heavily, and as its dragon breath surged, the winds and clouds of heaven and earth changed, and bolts of lightning converged on this place.

Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger!

Another interpretation is that the dragon is the god of clouds and rain. The birth of a true dragon is always accompanied by wind, rain, thunder and lightning. At this moment, as Ao Kun became angry, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the celestial phenomena changed accordingly.

"Something seems off!"

Just as the young prince of the True Dragon Clan and Yuan Tongtian of the Tongtian Divine Ape Clan were about to clash on the battle stage, Lin Feng, standing in the audience, suddenly frowned, feeling a vague unease as he sensed a strange aura suddenly appearing between heaven and earth.

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, what happened?"

When Xiao Yan saw that Lin Feng's expression was off, he immediately asked him what was wrong. In his memory, Lin Feng seemed to be so uneasy only when dealing with the Soul Emperor and the extraterrestrial evil race.

"Old Dragon, can you sense this aura?"

After a few breaths, Qin Tian's expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked the True Dragon King, Zhen Feng, and the others beside him.

The True Dragon King was originally watching the platform. Ao Kun was one of the few pure-blooded True Dragons of the True Dragon Clan. He had met him a few times before, and at this moment, he hoped that this kid could win so that he could show off in front of his old friends.

After Lin Feng and Qin Tian spoke in turn, he immediately closed his eyes, and the two prominent dragon horns on his forehead trembled slightly, generating a mysterious fluctuation that then merged with the surrounding space.

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, a look of seriousness in them.

"It's the aura of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but we don't know exactly which one!"

"Moreover, it seems there's more than one. We can't ascertain the exact number of Demon Emperors who have come. Damn it, this is troublesome!"

"How many Heavenly Demon Emperors are there? We are only avatars here; we are probably no match for them. Lin Feng, what level have you reached in your One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones cultivation?"

Qin Tian's expression was serious. As the only Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, he needed to be stationed at the Great Thousand Palace. Those who came here were only his clones, and the same was true for the True Dragon King and others.

They did not practice secret techniques like One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, nor did they carry any of their own sacred and peerless creatures. Although they could easily kill the Xuanmo Emperor, they were powerless against demons of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's level!

"Seniors, rest assured, I have already cultivated the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to the second level, which is the Three Harmonies Realm. I can fuse my two clones with my main body. Ordinary early-stage Saint-level cultivators are no match for me!"

"The Three Harmony Realm? What incredible talent! It seems that even the ancient Heavenly Emperor only reached the Three Harmony Realm before he managed to kill the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor!"

The True Dragon King sighed, and Lin Feng's eyes flashed, but he did not reveal that the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor was not completely dead.

"I'll leave it to the future Great Ruler. If I fail to reach the Ruler realm before then, I'll still have to rely on that little guy!"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly felt something was wrong. He moved his gaze to the group of the Futu Ancient Clan in the audience, where a graceful young girl stood.

"It seems there's still plenty of time!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, leave one of the Xuanmo Emperors to me!"

Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up, and a powerful aura flashed by, bringing the True Dragon King and the others back to their senses.

"Mid-stage Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, you will surely have a place at the pinnacle of this Great Thousand World in the future!"

Qin Tian glanced at Xiao Yan for a moment, then exclaimed in admiration.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Qin Tian. I still have a long way to go, but I hope that one day I can stand tall in this vast world as you have said!"

Xiao Yan clasped his hands in response, his face resolute. The trials he had undergone since childhood had made him appear very calm and composed. Even when he received Qin Tian's praise, he remained unfazed.

Such a steady personality made Qin Tian and the others nod repeatedly, feeling that the name of Emperor Yan Xiao Yan would surely be known throughout the world in the future!

However, they were unaware that Xiao Yan had just received a telepathic message from Lin Feng, who wanted to introduce him to several senior figures, and he had come over in a daze.

When Lin Feng introduced Qin Tian, ​​he remained expressionless, but was inwardly extremely shocked.

"Qin Tian!!!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, is this senior you're talking about... Could it be that Qin Tian, ​​the Soul Hall Elder of the Dou Qi Continent, is not dead but has ascended to the Great Thousand Realms through some kind of method?"

Xiao Yan secretly transmitted his voice, and Lin Feng could sense some shock from his tone.

"Why are there so many things in this vast world similar to the Soul Palace? The old Poisonous Evil Mother's cackling laughter, and this Elder Qin Tianzun... Senior Brother Lin Feng, if anything goes wrong later, I'll cover you as you fight your way out of the Heavenly Court. You'll avenge me in the future!"

"Forehead"

Hearing Xiao Yan's telepathic message, Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated.

Although he was also somewhat puzzled as to why the Great Thousand World, the Soul Palace, and the Dou Qi Continent had so many similarities, he also knew that it was impossible for the people of the Soul Palace to ascend to the Great Thousand World.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, rest assured, there are absolutely no forces in the Great Thousand World related to the Soul Clan or the Soul Palace!"

At this point, Lin Feng suddenly hesitated, unsure whether he should say something, but he didn't let Xiao Yan notice.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, back in the Dou Qi Continent, someone told me that you were the most deeply hidden protector of the Soul Palace—Protector Xiao!"

"They've crossed the Boundary Mountain and arrived near the floating continent!"

Just then, the True Dragon King suddenly spoke, his dragon horns trembling slightly. Then, with a solemn expression, he looked down and paused for a moment at a certain spot.

"Right here!"

Lin Feng and the others nodded in agreement, understanding his meaning. They then secretly communicated and discussed how to deal with this group of Demon Emperors without anyone noticing.

"The reason these extraterrestrial demons have come here is probably because of the Heavenly Court Grand Competition I'm hosting; they want to stifle the young geniuses of the Great Thousand Worlds!"

Just then, Lin Feng seemed to have thought of something and spoke up as if by divine inspiration.

"In that case, the Demon Emperor they sent here shouldn't be too strong!"

How do you know?

The group's gazes fell on Lin Feng, wondering why he was so certain. Among the extraterrestrial evil races, there were races with extremely strong concealment abilities, and even they could not detect how many Demon Emperors had come on this trip.

"The extraterrestrial evil race is unaware that the seniors' avatars have come here. Their target is only the many young prodigies who have appeared in the competition below."

"Several seniors were stationed in various parts of the Great Thousand World, monitoring their movements at all times, especially the patriarchs of the thirty-six major clans."

"Therefore, even if they are demons who can conceal their presence, it would be impossible for them to cross the boundary line and arrive at the floating continent undetected by sending out too many Heavenly Demon Emperors!"

"The extraterrestrial evil races mostly monitor the Great Thousand Worlds through the Heart Demon Clan, and can only gather some overt information."

"Based on their assessment of my combat strength, the extraterrestrial evil race's team likely consists of at most one Heavenly Demon Emperor, plus two or three other Demon Emperors of different levels!"

"I'll hold off the Heavenly Demon Emperor; the rest of the Demon Emperors will be left to Junior Brother Xiao Yan and a few other seniors."

"In that case, with our current fighting strength, we can completely trap them like turtles in a jar!"

The True Dragon King clapped his hands, his booming voice almost roaring out, shaking the surrounding void. Only then did he belatedly realize what was happening and began to transmit his voice quietly.

"True Dragon King, keep it down, no shooting!"
