Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"So it was the Flame Spirit Clan, defeated by the Flame Emperor and reduced to a mere vassal of another!"

Beside Mu Chen, a girl who looked like a wind sprite looked at the gloomy-faced man who appeared in the air and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"presumptuous!"

Originally, Zhu Yan, one of the heirs of the Flame God Clan, was somewhat wary after being forced out by Mu Chen's powerful Vajra Finger.

However, as soon as the girl uttered those words, Zhu Yan was utterly enraged!

Being defeated by Emperor Yan is nothing compared to the fact that, although Emperor Yan was weak in the past, he is now the second strongest expert in the Heavenly Court, second only to the Heavenly Emperor!

Back then, the Heavenly Emperor and the Flame Emperor publicly declared that after the battle, the grudges between the two forces would be settled.

As a result, the ancestor of the Flame God Clan naturally lost, but it was not shameful. Decades later, it even became a glorious moment.

The three major battles fought by the Heavenly Court since its founding included one against their own clan, another against the Western Heaven Battle Hall which was comparable to them, and the last against the Mokha Ancient Clan, which was even more powerful than the Futu Ancient Clan!

With three victories, the Heavenly Court's power is simply beyond description!

Among them, the Flame God Clan had the best fate, which has become a source of pride for them.

After all, the Western Heaven War Emperor, a grown man, was transformed into a woman for thirty years, although he later went into seclusion.

In today's vast world, the painting of a beautiful woman emerging from a bath by the Western Heaven War Emperor has spread far and wide, and it can be said that almost everyone has a copy.

The Mokha Ancient Clan not only lost four or five Heavenly Sovereign-level powerhouses, but even a treasure as precious as the Eternal Pagoda was given away in order to appease the Heavenly Court's anger.

So, the result for the Flame God Clan is not bad!

However, those who truly care about the Flame God Clan would rather have all their clan's treasures taken away than become a vassal of another clan.

"Vassal" sounds nice, but it's nothing more than someone else's lackey!

Even if their allegiance is to another super ancient clan—the Futu Ancient Clan—which has a Saint-level Heavenly Supreme in charge, so what?

However, the Flame God Clan is still a super power with the Heavenly Sovereign in charge. Even though they have become a vassal of other clans, not many people dare to discuss it freely.

At this moment, the young man tore away this fig leaf right in front of Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yan was completely enraged!

"Today, I, this young master, will make you all die a horrible death!"

"Roar of the Fiery Dragon!"

"roar!"

Endless anger surged from Zhu Yan's body. He cultivated a strange secret technique; the more intense his anger, the more abundant the fire within him, and the more powerful his spiritual energy became.

"A mere trick like this, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?"

"Buddha, Vajra Finger!"

A hint of indifference flashed in Mu Chen's eyes. He slowly raised his right hand, and endless dark spiritual power surged out from his body, transforming into a massive black finger that was three thousand feet long.

"You nobody, how dare you be so arrogant before me, Young Master Zhu Yan! Die, Yanlong, go!"

"roar!"

A fiery dragon, several times larger than the black giant finger, roared to the sky, unleashing a burst of steaming flames. In the next instant, the fiery dragon appeared in front of the black giant finger, tearing down with its claws.

"Boom!"

The collision produced a terrifying roar, and the aftershocks completely tore apart the surrounding space, exposing the dark area behind them to everyone's eyes.

"This little guy's combat strength is actually quite good!"

In a dimensional space unseen by everyone, Zi Yan's voice came. It turned out that the two mysterious figures were Lin Feng and Zi Yan.

"Hmm, with this level of combat strength, if he were to participate in the Heavenly Court's Supreme Competition, he could certainly achieve a decent ranking."

"With a bit of luck, a top-five finish is definitely possible!"

Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with Zi Yan's words, and then changed the subject.

"Indeed, if that's all there is to it, it's still uncertain who will win compared to those recently emerged prodigies from the Heavenly Court!"

Zi Yan nodded. If we were to ask which force is the most powerful in the world today, every living being in the world would unanimously say the same name.

That is the Heavenly Court!

The number one power in the world naturally gathers endless resources and fortune, which naturally attracts the birth of geniuses. Other geniuses are also attracted by the many benefits and fame of the Heavenly Court and join it.

Although Mu Chen's opportunities are considerable, how can they compare to the Heavenly Court's nurturing?

Mu Chen's most powerful techniques now are the Vajra Finger and the Undying Sun Body that Lin Xu taught him.

However, there are quite a few people in the Heavenly Court who cultivate such Dharma bodies. In fact, there are even a few who cultivate the advanced Dharma body of the Great Sun Undying Body—the Immortal Golden Body!

"Although the Dao of Destiny is wondrous, Mu Chen is also a child of destiny born from the changes in the origin of the Great Thousand World. It can be said that before the extraterrestrial evil race was defeated, he was the illegitimate child of the Great Thousand World!"

"No, he can be considered the true eldest son. Even someone like the Heavenly Emperor, the Flame Emperor, and Martial Ancestor Lin Dong are ranked behind him!"

"However, the Great Thousand World is ultimately trying to save itself. If a powerful being at the Sovereign Realm were to appear, the crisis posed by the extraterrestrial evil race would be eliminated."

"Therefore, while Mu Chen's original fortune and essence will not diminish, and may even increase with breakthroughs in his cultivation level, it will not be as it is now!"

Lin Feng's gaze swept across Mu Chen through the space, but he was completely unaware of it.

"For example, right now, after I demonstrated my determination to break through to the Dominator Realm and my willingness to suppress the Heavenly Evil God, the Sky Ranking directly gifted me a super-knock-off version of the Creation Jade Disc!"

"And before that, I also had the opportunity to enter that void space during the ascension of the Dou Qi Continent!"

Lin Feng recalled that the Sky Ranking at that time was as heavy as the entire world in his eyes, and its attitude was extremely arrogant.

No, or rather, it wasn't arrogance, it was complete disregard for his existence!

"Buzzing!"

Just then, spatial fluctuations came, indicating that the battle had been decided, with the giant black finger completely crushing the fiery dragon.

Before Zhu Yan's horrified eyes, Mu Chen leaped into the air and instantly sealed him away!

"I cannot afford to offend the Flame God Clan. Based on my experience from my third reincarnation across countless lifetimes, if I let you leave..."

"I'm afraid you still harbor resentment. If any Heavenly Sovereign of the Flame God Clan comes looking for me, my death is a small matter, but if it implicates the Great Luo Heavenly Domain, then that would be my fault!"

"Furthermore, if your Flame God Clan were to be more treacherous and malicious, and go to the Hundred Spirits Continent to use my father as a hostage, how would I possibly cope then?"

"Therefore, I absolutely cannot let you go today!"

Mu Chen grabbed Zhu Yan's shoulder and slowly landed on the ground, his face completely calm, uttering some incomprehensible words.

"Mu Chen, what are you doing? Do you really intend to kill me?"

"My clan has a Heavenly Sovereign living in the world, and I am one of the clan's heirs, a person with a name and surname. My clan possesses a Soul Lamp. If I die, my clan will surely seek revenge on you!"

Zhu Yan looked at Mu Chen, who was talking to himself, and felt inexplicably panicked. It wasn't just that he was afraid of dying, but more so that he thought this guy was a lunatic.

"If he has some bad habits, then..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yan's chrysanthemum suddenly tightened, and her body inexplicably tensed up as she looked at him uneasily.

"What strange thing are you thinking about?"

Mu Chen frowned. He always felt that in Zhu Yan's gaze towards him, along with fear, there was also a strange sense of disgust and aversion.

"Is this guy not afraid of dying?"

"Rest assured, precisely because I'm worried that a race with a Heavenly Sovereign might resort to some strange methods, I will absolutely not kill you, but of course, I will also absolutely not let you go!"

"For the time being, you'll change your appearance and become the lackey of the Great Luo Heavenly Domain's Shepherd King!"

"you"

Zhu Yan was furious. This was a tremendous humiliation for him, no less than when he first learned that his tribe had become a vassal of another tribe.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Mu Chen's cold gaze, and couldn't help but shrink back, saying awkwardly.

"I'm just saying, could you please stop grabbing my shoulders and put me down so you can better serve the Shepherd King?"

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Mu Chen snorted coldly, then threw the candle flame in his hand to the ground and walked towards Jiu You, his heart filled with ecstasy.

"Uncle Xu's father is indeed a super strong person. After going through his trials, I feel so cool now!"

"Pfft!"

In the void, Zi Yan watched Mu Chen's actions and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Little Fengzi, tell me, what exactly did this kid go through to undergo such a drastic change in personality after you used the Nightmare Dao to make him reincarnate countless times?"

"No, it's just some fictional stories from novels that I found quite interesting, so I wanted to let this young Mu Chen experience them!"

"He's essentially Lin Xu's apprentice, and therefore our grand-apprentice. So naturally, we need to let him grow."

"This kid is sometimes too indecisive. I've seen him a few times, and he's never managed to kill his opponent. So..."

Lin Feng smiled slightly. This was indeed his wicked sense of humor. He used the Nightmare Dao to bring to life many of his previous fantasy worlds, with Mu Chen as the protagonist.

"In my first life, I brought him into a world called Jianghu Xiao Ao Ren Wo Xing, where he became the second male lead named Lin Pingzhi, during the time when he had mastered a great supernatural power of harmony between heaven and man."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Having experienced pain that no man could bear, Mu Chen has indeed matured a lot!"

"In my second life, I realized that this boy had been separated from his mother since he was young, so I took him into the childhood of a powerful figure who was famous throughout the myriad realms for his love of drinking beast milk!"

"Your favorite drink is animal milk?"

"This is one of the powerful man's quirks. I'll explain it to you when I have time. There's more to come."

"."

"In the eighteenth generation, he was brought to a place called the Great Emperor of the Great Cauldron who had arrested and interrogated him for not paying parking fees."

Are there other Heavenly Emperors in this vast world?

"Hahaha, besides me, there should only be the ancient Heavenly Emperor. Perhaps this Great Cauldron Heavenly Emperor is a figure from even more distant times. This is a story from a folk tale. Perhaps one day we will meet the real Great Cauldron Heavenly Emperor!"

At this point, Lin Feng felt a strange sense of anticipation. "Now that time travel has happened, can I transcend time and space and go to more worlds that could never have existed in my previous life?"

"Should we go and compete with these world's geniuses, to see who is superior, or perhaps to develop mutual respect?"

From the stories spanning countless lifetimes, Lin Feng selected a few particularly prominent tales, such as the great battle against the Heavenly Dao, the terrifying existence known as the Supreme God, and the colossal giant of light, tens of meters tall.

"It's such a shame I've never seen these interesting dungeon stories!"

After listening to several of Lin Feng's stories, Zi Yan was fascinated, but also somewhat annoyed.

"Haha, these are all gifts from the many beings of the vast world who worship me, the Heavenly Emperor. Instead of worrying about these illusory things, why don't we travel together in this vast world when we have time?"

"And beneath this vast world, there are countless other worlds, just like the Dou Qi Continent, waiting for us!"

"This is really exciting!"

"but,"

Lin Feng nodded. He had long been tired of his invincible Heavenly Emperor status and had wanted to travel the world for a long time.

"Before that, we must first resolve the threat posed by this extraterrestrial evil race. Otherwise, after we leave, the Great Thousand Worlds may not be able to withstand it!"

Sometimes Lin Feng would wonder whether, after his intervention, Mu Chen would still be able to reach the pinnacle at crucial moments and have his true name engraved on the Sky Ranking, just like before!

Therefore, he had to stay!

It's not that he has any particular feelings for the world; he is, after all, a time traveler. If there's anything he'd be attached to about this, it's that...

That would only include Zi Yan and Cai Lin, as well as many relatives and friends from the Dou Qi Continent. As for the Great Thousand World, if one day he were to be defeated by the Evil God, Lin Feng would take the Dou Qi Continent and run away.

"Let's go. Let's revive these ancient celestial beings first. This will repay the kindness of the ancient Heavenly Emperor who imparted the Dharma to us. If it weren't for the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, we would have suffered a lot over the years!"

"Let's start with the Second Temple Master!"

"Um!"

Zi Yan nodded, and then Lin Feng opened a spatial passage and went straight into a grand hall.

"Miss Su, I think our cooperation may have to be temporarily suspended!"

Mu Chen had already reached an agreement with Su Qingyin on the terms of their cooperation, but at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind, which surprised the woman who had also won the Golden Dragon Token.

"Mu Chen, are you trying to raise the price?"

"That's not the case. I can't explain the specifics to you."

Mu Chen shook his head and took out the five-colored token from his waist. The token, which had been calm, began to glow after seeing the Second Palace Master.

This immediately reminded Mu Chen of Lin Feng's instructions in the mysterious space: to collect the corpses or surviving souls of many ancient Heavenly Palace experts, and he would revive them.

"The Second Palace Master died long ago, and his body is riddled with holes. He is only supported by the mysterious Phoenix Worm. If the Phoenix Worm is taken away..."

"I'm afraid the Second Palace Master's physical body will be reduced to nothing in an instant!"

"Mu Chen, no matter what, this Phoenix Insect is extremely important to me. Today, I must obtain it!"

Su Qingyin frowned slightly, glanced at Mu Chen in front of her with some apprehension, hesitated for a moment, and then said resolutely.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in this phoenix insect. Of course, before that, I need to retrieve the Second Palace Master's corpse!"

Mu Chen glanced at her, and then a terrifying pagoda rose from his body, slamming down on the spirit array in front of him.

"Mu Chen, are you crazy? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

When Mu Chen summoned the Floating Pagoda, Su Qingyin had a vague premonition of something bad. However, Mu Chen's actions were too fast, and she could only watch helplessly as the dark giant pagoda collided with the spirit array.

"Buzzing!"

To Su Qingyin's surprise, the pagoda and the spirit array did not produce any reaction when they collided. Instead, the two were completely intertwined, their auras connecting.

Then, the pagoda glowed, the spirit array automatically disintegrated, and Mu Chen stepped inside, collecting the corpse of the Second Palace Master.

"It's...that simple?"

"Here's the Phoenix Insect; help me restore the Spirit Slayer Guard!"

After examining the Second Palace Master's corpse and discovering that removing the Phoenix Worm would not have any effect on it, Mu Chen took it out without hesitation and made a deal with Su Qingyin.

This method was also learned by Mu Chen from Lin Feng's countless reincarnations, from a runaway celestial being who would protect everyone to his side once he sensed something was wrong.

"Old friend, we meet again!"

In the most mysterious scripture pavilion of the ancient heavenly palace, Lin Feng and Zi Yan returned after decades and greeted a certain spirit in the void.

"Buzzing!"

A mysterious wave of energy emanated from the light, similar to the joy of seeing an old friend. Then, the light screen in front of Lin Feng became clearer. As the light screen flickered, it was clear that the two Great Sun Undying Bodies were fighting!

"Divinity and demonic nature? Even without Lin Xu's tutelage, Mu Chen's use of power alone is enough to doom Garuda's defeat!"

Lin Feng looked at the two avatars that resembled both gods and demons, and sighed. As if to confirm his words, accompanied by a dazzling light, the demonic avatar finally collapsed.

"it's over!"

"boom!"

After the battle was decided, Mu Chen killed Garuda without hesitation. Then, Lin Feng, Zi Yan, and the mysterious spirit of the Scripture Pavilion witnessed the birth of the Immortal Golden Body!

"An immortal golden body, huh? That's quite interesting. If such a body were cultivated to its peak, it wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against a Heavenly Sovereign's Celestial Spirit Body!"

"Next, it's time to go and meet the ancient Heavenly Emperor!"
