Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"raging!"

In the midst of chaos, flames surged and burned fiercely.

The two terrifying deities each used their own methods to burn the flames to their extreme, and even the surrounding chaotic air currents were affected by the scalding heat, turning red-hot.

"Interesting, really interesting! I never expected him to make this choice!"

Suddenly, the five-colored deity among the two divine beings paused almost imperceptibly, and uttered some inexplicable words.

"Senior Brother Lin Feng?"

"It's alright, let's continue!"

"yes!"

"In the name of Emperor Yan, I borrow the myriad fires of heaven and earth, and hereby command!"

The divine being burning with imperial flames spoke, and the terrifying divine might of the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme was finally revealed without reservation.

Throughout the vast world, countless beings who personally came to observe the Chaos or gazed upon this place from afar were all shaken.

"Late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme?"

"How is this possible, Emperor Yan? How did he do it?"

"In just over a decade, he broke through to the Celestial Supreme level during the great war against the Mokha Ancient Clan, which was already incredibly powerful. But this is a Saint-level level!"

"If the Flame Emperor is this powerful, how powerful must the Heavenly Emperor be?"

Upon hearing this, both the Heavenly Sovereign and the Earthly Sovereign fell silent, remaining silent for a long time.

It seems to be a taboo topic, making people inexplicably afraid to speak about it.

"The Immortal Emperor!"

An unknown figure appeared in their hearts; he was the strongest person in the ancient world, now, after 50,000 years.

And now, another supreme deity has appeared between heaven and earth!

"Bang bang bang!"

The silence of the many powerful figures did not affect the Flame Emperor's actions in the slightest. Dozens or even hundreds of flames burst forth from his body, transforming into a blazing inferno that rapidly melted the materials in the chaos.

Most of these divine flames were sub-flames that he had exchanged with many powerful figures in the Great Thousand World over the years, in exchange for various elixirs.

After years of cultivation, each one is a powerhouse no weaker than a Supreme Being at the Great Perfection level!

Furthermore, many flames that have been cultivated for many years, such as those refined during the Dou Qi Continent, are already comparable to the Heavenly Supreme Divine Flame.

It can be called—the divine fire of heaven!

"The Five Elements Reincarnation Array, Yin-Yang Grinding, Refining!"

With a soft shout, the Five-Colored Divine Man caused a massive Five Elements Array to appear in the chaos, catching the liquid divine material refined by the Flame Emperor.

Then a huge, dark millstone appeared, and finally, countless liquid divine materials gathered into the Yin-Yang millstone.

The Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel is a soul forging method that Lin Feng obtained from the border of the Jia Ma Empire during the Dou Qi Continent. After ascending to the Great Thousand World, he used it as the foundation and Yin-Yang as the basis to incorporate many cultivation systems, creating a soul artifact.

Countless five-colored divine chains intertwined with the yin-yang divine chains, reaching the heavens and the earth, piercing through chaos, greedily devouring the power deep within chaos, adding bricks and tiles to the reforging of the Xuanzhong Ruler.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, bring out the Xuan Heavy Ruler!"

"Buzzing!"

Xiao Yan nodded, then flipped his palm, and a huge, jet-black ruler appeared in his palm. The ruler was covered with dense sword and knife marks, as well as many claw and palm prints.

Although Emperor Yan relied heavily on potions to level up along his journey, he experienced just as many battles as other powerful figures.

In fact, given this guy's personality, he'll probably fight wherever he goes!

Taking the Xuanzhong Heavy Ruler and looking at the numerous marks, Lin Feng suddenly felt a pang of emotion, recalling many moments from his time on the Dou Qi Continent.

"These palm prints look somewhat familiar. Who left them?"

"It's Elder Mugu!"

"It's that old guy. Come to think of it, he's your benefactor."

Lin Feng's words puzzled Xiao Yan, so he asked him a question.

What does this mean?

"This is also related to the old doctor."

As he spoke, Lin Feng nodded to Yao Lao, who was also standing in the chaos watching the two refine the treasure.

"Yes, if it weren't for that ungrateful Mu Gu colluding with Han Feng to plot against me, perhaps we wouldn't have been able to become master and disciple!"

Now, perhaps because he is about to marry Xuan Yi and the others, Yao Chen is no longer an old man, but has become a middle-aged, elegant, and handsome uncle.

This dashing demeanor attracted a large number of female admirers from all over the world, much to the annoyance and helplessness of Xuan Yi and his companions.

This was because they were extremely pleased with Yao Chen's appearance.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Lin Feng to still remember these things. It's a pity that old friends have passed away one after another, or become reverent, making it difficult to recreate the scenes of the past!"

Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yan's words. As he had been the Heavenly Emperor for many years, many of his old friends from the Dou Qi Continent held him in increasing awe.

Lin Feng was helpless about this; he knew that time was changing things.

For some reason, he recalled an article he had read in his previous life, which told the story of Mr. Shuren and Runtu, childhood playmates with different circumstances.

When they met again after many years, the childlike innocence of childhood was gone. The simple address of "Master" said it all.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, should we remove these traces?"

Shaking his head, Lin Feng cleared these inexplicable emotions from his mind and asked Xiao Yan beside him.

"Let's stay!"

Looking at the Xuanzhong Heavy Ruler in Lin Feng's hand, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

"Those are the marks of the past, a testament to my journey from weakness to strength. Perhaps one day, when I die, future generations will be able to learn about the deeds of Emperor Yan through the marks on this Xuan Heavy Ruler!"

"That's fine too!"

"However, if that day truly comes, who in this vast world could have imagined that the mysterious being capable of leaving a mark on the Flame Emperor's Profound Heavy Ruler would be nothing more than a mere ant of a Dou Zun level?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

As they said this, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and suddenly burst into hearty laughter. Even Yao Chen and the others not far away were infected by the laughter and joined in.

"The Heavenly Emperor and the Flame Emperor are quite a legendary couple!"

"Let's begin. With our combined strength, using the Yin-Yang Five Elements Furnace, with chaos as fuel, and refining it with a hundred kinds of divine fire, it will at least be among the top-tier sacred artifacts of the Saint grade!"

"I'm also looking forward to seeing just how miraculous the moment the Xuanzhong Great Ruler is born will be!"

"Old Mu, Old Zhou, and Little Chen, I won't get involved in such a trivial matter as unifying the Northern Spirit Realm!"

Within the Hundred Spirits Continent, Lin Xu suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the deepest part of the sky. Through the barrier of the world, he saw the most enormous five-colored deity in the chaos.

"I have some things to take care of and need to go home!"

"Uncle Xu!"

After sending an elder of the Liu family flying with a single punch, Mu Chen looked into the distance.

In the midst of the great battle, Lin Xu remained calm and composed, casually turning his opponents to ashes with every move. His immense power had become a nightmare for the Willow Domain Alliance.

He suddenly stopped, and even his opponent felt a strange fear and stopped fighting as well.

Upon hearing that he was leaving, they were overjoyed. In their eyes, this unfathomable second-in-command of the Mu Domain was the most deeply hidden and terrifying existence in the Mu Domain!

"The Three Realms are divided into three levels: the first level merges with the heavens, the second level transforms into the heavens, and the third level connects to the heavens!"

"Old Mu and Old Zhou are both at the peak of the Tongtian realm. They've only been hiding their strength to prevent you from becoming arrogant and to avoid conquering too much territory!"

"And you,"

Lin Xu looked at Mu Chen with a half-smile, sizing him up and down, and saw through the Nine Nether Bird within him.

Even the strange paper covered with bizarre floral patterns could not block it in the slightest!

"Although your realm is still Divine Soul, under my grueling training, it's already comparable to the Transformation Realm!"

"If you unleash your full power, even a powerful expert at the Heavenly Realm would be no match for you, a mere brat!"

"Passage...the Heavenly Realm!"

Lin Xu's words stunned everyone in the Willow Domain Alliance.

How could Liu Jingtian, who had just broken through to the Fusion Realm, look incredulously at Mu Feng, who had fought him for a long time and even showed signs of weakness at times?

"You, how dare you humiliate this old man like this?"

"Alas, if we don't do this, how will the many warriors of my pastoral domain earn merit?"

Mu Feng looked at Liu Jingtian, who was extremely angry and whose face was flushed red, and said with a troubled expression.

"Distributing the spoils of war is always the most difficult thing, Elder Liu. You must be understanding of my old Mu clan's situation; the overall mathematical level of my Mu territory has never been very good!"

"you"

Liu Jingtian spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed into the air and reached a distance of three to five meters. The blood mist was filled with dense spiritual energy.

Clearly, this treacherous old man was up to no good even when he coughed up blood; he wanted to ambush the young man!

"Buzzing!"

Lin Xu ignored the infighting and unleashed a punch that shattered the space in front of him, leading straight into the depths of chaos.

"Let's go!"

"Empty, spatial passage!!!"

Liu Jingtian's pupils contracted sharply, and then, amidst the astonished gazes of countless people in the hall, he knelt down and shouted loudly.

"Liu Jingtian has cultivated for many years, yet he never knew that such a powerful ruler as the Shepherd Lord had appeared in the Northern Spirit Realm. This old man was blind to his true worth; now, witnessing his divine might, he deeply regrets his past actions!"

"I beg the Shepherd to spare my life, considering my advanced age. I am willing to lead the entire Willow Domain to surrender to the Shepherd. Please, Shepherd, show me mercy!"

"Ancestor, you..."

The members of the Liu family were stunned, staring blankly at the scene. Just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by Liu Jingtian's loud rebuke.

Please... add to your favorites ( )

"Shut up!"

"Quickly kneel down with me and beg for the Shepherd's forgiveness. Do you wish for the extinction of my Liu family?"

By the end, Liu Jingtian, the patriarch of the Liu family, was almost hoarse. If Mu Chen hadn't noticed that his legs were trembling slightly, he might have been moved by the old man's words.

"Chen'er, what do you think?"

"Father, this..."

Mu Chen hesitated. Although he was known as the Blood Calamity in the Spiritual Road, he had actually killed very few beings.

Compared to Mu Feng, a powerful figure with mediocre talent who rose from humble beginnings to his current position through countless battles, he still appears quite inexperienced.

"Chen'er, today your father will teach you a lesson!"

"Please give your instructions, Father!"

"As the saying goes, 'A compassionate person cannot command an army, a righteous person cannot manage finances, and those who do not kill all their enemies will bring misfortune upon their descendants!'"

As Mu Feng spoke, he unleashed a punch, using all his might to instantly reduce Liu Jingtian to dust.

"The Pastoral Domain and the Willow Domain are already irreconcilably opposed, locked in a life-or-death struggle!"

"Today, my Mu Domain is powerful, and we will wipe out the Liu Domain. Otherwise, when my Mu Domain declines and the Liu Domain rises, we will be able to stop it."

"When that time comes, it will be our descendants, and the many people of the pastoral realm, who will suffer!"

"As for keeping an opponent around, in this vast world, is my Mu Domain such a super-giant power as the Heavenly Court that it needs an opponent to keep the strong within the domain from letting their guard down?"

"No!"

Mu Feng's words were powerful and resounding, leaving Mu Chen deafened and deeply shocked.

"My Shepherd Domain is incredibly weak. The path of cultivation in this vast world is long and arduous. From initially sensing the spiritual energy of the universe to a cultivator absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their body, this is the Spiritual Movement Realm!"

"Then there's the Spirit Wheel Realm, and your current Divine Soul Realm, or perhaps even my current Three Heavens Realm!"

"Melting with Heaven, Transforming Heaven, Connecting with Heaven!"

"The Supreme Realm will be reached in three days. Of course, there will be some minor bottlenecks before reaching the Supreme Realm. Your teachers at the academy or your Uncle Xu will then guide you."

"While I do have some insights, they are merely the thoughts of an ordinary person, and I will not express them to avoid creating a biased understanding in you!"

"The subsequent realms are beyond my understanding; I only know their names!"

"Like the most powerful being in the Great Thousand Worlds—the Heavenly Emperor—legend has it that he has reached the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Saint-Rank Heavenly Supreme Realm!"

"Father, how did you find out about such a secret?"

It's no wonder Mu Chen asked such a question. Even the girl he met on the Spirit Road, who came from a powerful divine race, didn't seem to know much about these secrets.

"Forehead"

"This is what your Uncle Xu said once when he was drunk. He said that there is a monument in his heart, which is his father. He is his pride, but sometimes it is also a source of pressure for him!"

"Your Uncle Xu said that he would never have the courage to surpass his father!"

"Uncle Xu's father?"

Mu Chen murmured softly, a strange light flashing in his eyes. In his eyes, Uncle Xu was incredibly powerful.

Even now, with his combat strength comparable to that of a third-level expert, he still can't see through Uncle Xu's true strength and depth.

"Uncle Xu's cultivation level is at least at the Supreme level. Given his age, he will at least become a super master at the Earthly Supreme level in the future!"

"Such power would place her among the top experts even within her own clan!"

"And the only thing that can make even the Earthly Sovereign feel there's no hope of surpassing them is..."

Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that Uncle Xu's father is actually an incomparably powerful Heavenly Sovereign?!"

Thinking of this, Mu Chen did not feel afraid. On the contrary, he felt an endless motivation, as he always has always been.

"If I could also achieve the status of a Heavenly Sovereign, then all the obstacles between us would probably vanish without a trace, wouldn't they?"

"Buzz"

Suddenly, the chaos shattered, and a small spatial passage opened up. Then, a young figure appeared beside a large blue ox that was chewing grass.

On the back of this large blue ox sat a child wearing a red-cloud bib, his eyes bright and lively, looking around from time to time.

Sometimes, his gaze would suddenly become deep and aged, as if he had become a different person.

"Mother, has Ancestor Danyan not recovered yet?"

"You brat, all these years, when are you going to come home and visit?"

Zi Yan stormed over, but instead of answering Lin Xu's question, she grabbed his ear and twisted it several times.

"Ah, Mother, I've grown up. Sister Xiaoxiao and Xiaolin are here too, please give me some face!"

Lin Xu's face fell. The reason he had lived in the Mu Territory of the Hundred Spirits Continent for so many years was not only because he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, but also because of his unreliable mother.

In Lin Xu's view, his mother, Lady Ziyan, was sometimes more like a child than any of her other sons.

"snort!"

"Fine, for the sake of all these people, I'll spare you this time!"

"Tell me, did you come back this time and take a fancy to some girl who needs my help to capture her—no, to deliver the betrothal gifts?"

As she spoke, Zi Yan chuckled, a smile that carried an inexplicable humor.

"You little rascal, you're not as cute as you were when you were a kid. It's time to have a grandson so your great-aunt can experience the joys of family life!"

"Well, let's watch Father refine the treasure first; we're about to reach a crucial moment!"

Lin Xu looked troubled. Was he really going to enter the grave of marriage at such a young age? Fortunately, Lin Feng seemed to understand his son's predicament, and he clasped his hands together and shouted.

"Yin and Yang are the furnace, the Five Elements create the universe, chaos is the fuel, and the Emperor's flame is the fire!"

"Emperor Yan, your heart's blood is ready!"

"puff!"

Xiao Yan was originally also watching Lin Xu make a fool of himself, and even turned his attention to his own Xiao Lin, pondering the meaning behind Zi Yan's words.

"The third generation? Perhaps it's time to give Xiao Lin a little push!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, he was also terrified and stopped being distracted. He bit his tongue, and countless drops of blood from his heart gushed out like a blood-red waterfall.

Seeing this vast amount of heart's blood, countless powerful figures gasped and sighed inwardly.

"Emperor Yan is indeed Emperor Yan; even the amount of his heart's blood far surpasses that of ordinary people, far exceeding our own!"

"Zzzzz!"

Countless drops of blood melted upon contact with the fire, producing a sound similar to burnt meat. Then, Lin Feng waved his hand, and the enormous five-colored divine being dispersed.

"Everything is ready. It just needs a little more nurturing before the brand-new Xuanzhong Grand Ruler can be born!"

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Lin Feng!"

Xiao Yan solemnly cupped his hands in thanks to Lin Feng, but Lin Feng waved his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to do so.

"If we're going to express our gratitude, aside from the elixirs produced by the Tower of Babel, the rest of Heavenly Court's bounty is yours and Xiao Lin's!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, you're too kind. Xiao Lin, I've remembered what your senior uncle said. I'll have to trouble you when we get back!"

"Ah, this."

Xiao Lin, who had been standing calmly in the chaos, suddenly looked bitter upon hearing this and thought to himself.

"When will this 'heavenly court's 996 system ever end?"
