Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

The blazing sun hung low in the sky, bringing not only light but also terrifyingly high temperatures.

The world is vast and boundless. If there were only one great sun in this boundless and enormous world, and this great sun were to go out of control...

Then, even a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign would not be able to withstand its rampage!

Everything is in balance. From the very beginning, the world has followed mysterious rules and principles. It operates according to these inexplicable principles, and the world progresses from birth, infancy, youth, and adulthood, and then gradually turns towards death.

"So this is the way of the world's birth and death; it's truly amazing!"

In the deepest part of this vast world, in a mysterious space, a hazy, dreamlike voice echoes. If anyone were to arrive here, they would be astonished by what they discover.

Deep within this space, countless energy particles exist, leaping and roaming unconsciously, their gentle movements creating the most beautiful scenery in the world.

In addition, there was a humanoid figure formed from particles of five-colored light, and the hazy voice just now came from this figure.

"I have finally mastered the Way of the Five Elements and have also comprehended the Way of the birth and death of the world. It will be difficult to make further progress in a short period of time."

"It's time to return to my original form. I wonder how much time has passed in this vast world?"

This figure was none other than Lin Feng, the Heavenly Emperor, whom countless beings throughout the world were secretly discussing whether he had truly ascended to the throne of the number one expert in the world.

In the tenth year of his seclusion, he broke through the bottleneck and achieved the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme realm!

At the moment of breakthrough, he felt unparalleled divine power flowing through him, and powerful five elements spiritual power frantically tempering his body, a Saint-grade spiritual body that would take a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme to forge for a long time.

In that instant, it was automatically mastered, requiring him to practice for very long!

At the same time, his various skills improved rapidly under this opportunity, reaching a level unimaginable even when he was a Celestial Supreme.

Realms are indeed realms. As many ancient sages have summarized, each major bottleneck is a major hurdle. Once you break through it, you enter a new realm and experience a significant improvement.

However, just as Lin Feng was about to carefully perceive the various changes of the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, a mysterious fluctuation descended once again, and his consciousness began to stir, wanting to break away from his body.

Lin Feng was shocked. With his level of skill and strength, could someone possibly be able to secretly plot against him?

However, less than a fraction of a second later, he was overjoyed.

"This is the fluctuation of the mysterious space that my consciousness touched when the Dou Qi Continent was being raised!"

The reason Lin Feng ordered that every time a Heavenly Sovereign appeared in the Heavenly Court, a plane should be elevated. This was not only because he wanted to absorb more strange cultivation systems and combine them with spiritual energy and battle qi systems to create new cultivation paths.

More importantly, they wanted to use this as an opportunity to re-enter this mysterious space.

If he wasn't mistaken, the enormous divine list he glimpsed in that fleeting glance was the legendary Azure Sky List, and the indistinct characters on it should be the character "Ye," representing the Immortal Emperor!

"After breaking through to the Saint rank, the next step is to consider how to advance further and enter the supreme realm of the Sovereign!"

Lin Feng pondered this, realizing that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were originally stuck before reaching the Sovereign Realm, and could only cultivate to the half-step Sovereign Realm before being overtaken by the rising star Mu Chen.

Now, because of him, neither of them has reached the same level of understanding as him, so he has to do the research on his own.

As for Qin Tian and the others, not to mention that back in the Moke Ancient Clan, Lin Feng was already dissatisfied with Qin Tian's pedantry and had not contacted him for a long time after giving him the Five-Colored Spiritual Power Seed.

Even if their friendship remains unchanged, Qin Tian has still not reached the half-step Dominator realm after all these years, probably because he doesn't have much understanding of this realm.

All Lin Feng could think of was to re-enter that mysterious space. Since the Sky Ranking was also there, there must be a way to achieve the Sovereign Realm within that space!

"call"

"I'm just one step away from having my surname engraved on the Heavenly Ranking. However, I always have a feeling that the true breakthrough would be to break through to the Sovereign Realm on my own, without relying on the Heavenly Ranking!"

The moment this inexplicable thought appeared, Lin Feng was startled by his own madness. How could he break through to the Great Ruler realm without engraving his name on the Sky Ranking!

However, once such a thought appeared, it took root in his mind and could never be erased.

"Perhaps this idea is correct!"

After pondering for a long time, Lin Feng finally came to some conclusions about the mystery.

"Whether it's the Dou Qi Continent, the Great Thousand World, or any other world, aside from the Sovereign Realm, there has never been a breakthrough in any realm that required imprinting one's origin onto any artifact!"

No, after years of research, Lin Feng already knows that to inscribe a name on the Sky Ranking, what is needed is for the inscriber to use their own soul essence as ink!

"The Sky Ranking is equivalent to the manifestation of the world's origin. Even a lower plane like the Dou Qi Continent has such a miraculous spirit as the Embryo of a Plane."

After pondering for a long time, Lin Feng described the embryo of the plane as a spirit.

"The embryo of a plane is the manifestation of the purest origin of a plane, but such a vast group of worlds as the Great Thousand Worlds has never had an embryo of a plane."

"The only similar one is that strange Child of the Continent, which is also the manifestation of the energy accumulated by a vast continent over countless years."

"Therefore, if I'm not mistaken, the Celestial Ranking is the embryonic form of the Great Thousand World!"

"If a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign at the peak of his power can use his soul essence to inscribe his name on the Heavenly Ranking, it's equivalent to using his soul essence as a guide to borrow the power of the Plane Embryo, which is the Heavenly Ranking!"

"Only true powerhouses, with sufficiently strong and resilient souls, can avoid being annihilated by the primal power of the universe, and thus unleash terrifying attacks by drawing upon its power!"

"The reason it's described as 'borrowing' is because a true powerhouse's strength originates from within themselves, never relying on external objects!"

"The way of engraving the Heavenly Ranking seems to be more about using the Heavenly Ranking as a medium to mobilize the power of the vast world."

This reminded Lin Feng of the ancient fantasy novels he had read in his previous life, featuring legendary saints who were immortal and eternal.

"It seems that this ability can only be achieved within the primordial world. Once they leave the primordial world, they lose this ability. Therefore, they have not truly attained this realm."

"It was only through the power of the world that this level was achieved!"

When this conjecture appeared in Lin Feng's mind, he was immediately startled. If it were true, no wonder the gap between the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme Realm and the Sovereign Realm was so great!

"If my guess is correct, the powerful figures ranked on the Sky Ranking seem to have broken through to the Dominator Realm, but once they leave the Great Thousand World, they will be too far away."

"To a place so remote that even the Great Thousand Worlds cannot perceive it, then at that time, the power they possessed was likely only at the peak of the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign realm!"

"Very well, we can't draw any conclusions in a short time. Let's return our consciousness to our physical body and see what level that chosen one of destiny in this vast world has reached!"

More than a decade ago, this mysterious space suddenly fluctuated violently, even the Sky Ranking shook slightly, and then a wisp of mysterious light fell down.

After leaving this mysterious space and arriving in the vast world, just as Lin Feng was about to carefully sense it, the Heavenly Ranking trembled, cutting off his senses.

However, after he combined the passage of time with Qing Yanjing's age, he knew that the future Great Ruler of the Great Thousand World had been born!

Of course, given Lin Feng's current level of cultivation, unless it is the Heavenly Evil God or the origin of the Great Thousand Worlds personally taking action, there is nothing that would move him anymore.

Although the future Great Ruler was powerful, in his eyes, he was no match for his junior brother Xiao Yan and Martial Ancestor Lin Dong.

"Perhaps, if Junior Brother Xiao Yan and Martial Ancestor had both been born in this Great Thousand World, rather than in that lower plane, then Mu Chen would truly have no place here!"

"but,"

Lin Feng changed the subject, his figure swayed slightly, countless five-colored particles fell off his body, and after glancing at the massive God Ranking once more, he disappeared from the spot.

"This Mu Chen, in a way, is like my grandson. I might as well go and see how he grows up!"

In the vast world, on the Hundred Spirits Continent, there is the Pastoral Domain, one of the major domains of the Northern Spirit Realm.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Inside the courtyard, a young man frantically channeled his dark spiritual energy, unleashing a wondrous fist technique that cracked and popped. Finally, the young man let out a loud shout.

"Mid-grade Mortal-level Attack Technique, Bone-Crushing Finger!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Twenty-eight echoes resounded in succession, and the struck tree fell to the ground with a thud, sending dust flying. A young man watching from the side waved his hand, and the dust immediately dissipated.

"Uncle Xu, how is Chen'er's cultivation of the Great Floating Pagoda Technique? Is it worthy of your approval?"

"You brat, I'm your biological father! Do you only have eyes for your second uncle?"

Before the young man, referred to as Uncle Xu, could even speak, a square-faced man beside him put on a sour face and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes, yes, now that Uncle Xu is here, Uncle Zhou doesn't like watching anymore."

"Oh, old Mu, we're both old and faded, no longer popular!"

"Let's go, let's leave this place of sorrow. Sigh."

Mu Feng and Zhou Ye's back-and-forth banter made the boy who had called himself Chen'er so anxious that his face turned red, and he waved his hands and feet wildly, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, you two, you're both getting on in years, why tease Chen'er like this?"

The young man sighed and finally spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Feng and Zhou Ye stopped teasing the boy and their expressions returned to composure.

It seemed as if that appearance had never happened before, and she stared at Mu Chen in disbelief.

"Father, Uncle Zhou, you two are such a pair!"

"Chen'er, even in my opinion, the Great Floating Pagoda Technique is a pretty good cultivation method. It seems that you can finally put some of the foundation I've laid for you over the years to good use."

"Originally, with your talent, at the initial stage of cultivation, you could only amplify your spiritual power to the thirteenth level at most!"

"The thirteenth floor?"

The boy murmured softly; only he knew what he had been through all these years.

His Uncle Xu usually appears refined and gentle, but it is only when you temper him that you can see his madness.

What? At three years old, you're supposed to bathe in lava; at five, you're supposed to carry a small hill while running; and at six or seven, you're supposed to move a hundred-foot-high mountain.

Using magical methods that he no longer understands, he summoned a waterfall to shield him from the impact.

He had just barely adapted when he was thrown into some barbarian god continent. He said that his father had once told him a story.

Legend has it that the cubs of super mythical beasts must travel alone through the Great Wilderness in their infancy, covering a distance of 300,000 miles and experiencing battles along the way.

Only those that survive can be called super mythical beasts!

At that time, Mu Chen was just a small human child. Of course he was afraid, but he never thought of backing down.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

It was simply because his most respected and feared Uncle Xu's father had once said something.

"My father once said that there is an extremely powerful physique in this vast world, the most powerful physique."

As a young boy at the time, he was naturally drawn to such a topic. The most powerful being in the universe—could it be even more powerful than the Heavenly Emperor?

At that time, Uncle Xu, whom he both respected and feared, gave him a cryptic look and did not answer his question.

To this day, he still doesn't understand what Uncle Xu meant.

"Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor is too powerful, and even the extremely cruel Uncle Xu wouldn't dare to discuss him in private!"

This was the only answer that Mu Chen could think of in his young mind. Years later, when he finally learned the result, he understood what his Uncle Xu's expression meant back then.

"Uncle Xu, what exactly is your constitution?"

"Overlord Body!"

The young man spoke slowly and deliberately, as if his physique possessed an inexplicable power. Even the unruly Uncle Xu, whom the young boy regarded as lawless, had a solemn expression.

"Unlimited Body?"

"That's right, one of the most powerful physiques in the world is the Overlord Physique!"

"Legend has it that if one cultivates the Overlord Body to its peak, one will possess power comparable to that of the Heavenly Emperor!"

"And you are the possessor of the Overlord Body!"

"I am invincible! I am invincible! I am invincible!"

The young boy was so happy he almost fainted, completely fooled by his Uncle Xu. However, before the boy could even immerse himself in his fantasy of being invincible, he was completely taken aback.

One sentence reached his ears.

"However, those who possess the Overlord Body are as numerous as carp crossing a river or as many stars in the sky; only the truly strong can become the Overlord Body!"

"And those before this were all female overlords!"

"Does the 'Overlord Body' have male and female distinctions?"

The young boy was once again completely bewildered by his Uncle Xu's words and asked in a daze.

"That's right, Invincible Body."

The young boy was unaware that Uncle Xu in front of him had eyes full of memories. When he was a child, he had also been lying in his father's arms, being fooled by his father.

"Xu'er, do you know what the most powerful physique in the world is?"

"It's a dragon-phoenix!"

"wrong!"

"Those with the invincible male and female bodies should not go out after dark."

"Father."

"Uncle Xu, what's wrong?"

The young boy's voices ceased. Not fooled by Uncle Xu, whom he trusted most, Mu Chen was quite clever and immediately came to his senses.

"No, now you understand what you should do, right?"

"Understood. I possess the Overlord Body, one of the strongest physiques in the world. However, I am currently female. I will defeat all other Overlord Bodies I encounter and become a true male Overlord Body!"

"Only in this way can I reach the ends of the earth, split open Mount Peach, and rescue my mother!"

"That's right, brave young man, charge forward! This continent of barbarians awaits your conquest!"

"Hooray! Uncle Xu, I'm going to charge! Just you wait and see!"

Thus, this young boy was tricked by his Uncle Xu into venturing into the Barbarian God Continent, a place even supreme experts had to explore with extreme caution.

In the years that followed, he would occasionally enter a dark world filled with demonic energy, and sometimes he would swim in the endless, icy depths of the sea.

Looking back now, Mu Chen often sighs, "How did I even survive back then?"

"The Twenty-Eight-Story Great Pagoda Technique is indeed quite good, but how can a disciple of Lin Xu's sect have such limited skills!"

"Chen'er, today I will teach you a secret technique passed down in my family. You must not tell anyone else!"

"Brother Xu, this is your family's secret technique, how... how can this be used?"

Before Mu Chen could answer, Mu Feng spoke righteously.

"Alright, stop with your attitude. After all these years, I finally understand why you can be Zhou Ye's older brother—we're just like each other!"

"Back then, I was captivated by your strikingly square face, which is why I vaguely agreed to stay and help you."

Hehehe!

Mu Feng didn't say anything, but rubbed his hands together vigorously. Then he exchanged a glance with Zhou Ye and was about to leave.

This is, after all, Lin Xu's family secret technique. It's already quite an honor that he was able to pass it on to Mu Chen. Naturally, the two of them couldn't just stay here shamelessly.

If that's the case, it would not only be a lack of understanding of the rules, but it would also damage the friendship between the people.

"Chen'er, study hard and learn a lot. Your Uncle Xu has lots of good things to teach you!"

As he passed by his son, Mu Feng patted Mu Chen on the shoulder, his square face full of a lewd smile.

"Forehead"

Mu Chen's lips twitched, unsure how to answer. Mu Feng ignored him and quickly walked out with Zhou Ye.

"Chen'er, that's the kind of person your father is. On the surface, he seems honest and kind, but behind the scenes, he's cunning and treacherous. Back then, when I was bored and had nothing to do, I was fooled by his appearance!"

"Forehead"

Mu Chen opened his mouth, still unsure how to reply, but fortunately Lin Xu wasn't a talkative person.

"Alright, get ready to focus. What I'm about to teach you is my father's secret technique from when he was young. After his modifications, this technique can definitely be called a top-tier secret art."

"yes!"

"That's good. This technique is the Five Elements Yin Yang Vajra Finger. The five elements rotate, creating Yin and Yang, making it invincible!"

"My father's skill and wisdom are profound. He created this method. I cherish the memories of the past. Although it was only what I learned when I was young, it is still extremely remarkable for you and for me today."

Mu Chen's expression was solemn. If Uncle Xu was already so powerful, how terrifying must his father be?

If they can learn the essence of it, then that girl, and her mother, will have hope!

"Vajra, what is Vajra? It is a powerful physical body and an invincible will." (End of Chapter)
