Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 198 Trapping and Killing Gu Yuan

Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the years, the people on Dragon Island have made considerable progress.

Among them, the most significant improvements were seen in Rainbow Scales and Azure Scales.

Cai Lin broke through to the early stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm, and Qing Lin also reached the early stage of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm.

Meanwhile, things were peaceful outside Dragon Island. Just as Jiang Xing had thought, the Soul Clan was also preparing for the great war more than thirty years later.

In the first few years, the two ancient powers, the Ancient Clan and the Flame Clan, frequently sent people to the Beast Domain. They had only one purpose—to hope that Jiang Xing could exchange Gu Xun'er back ahead of schedule.

Jiang Xing refused the repeated requests from the Ancient Yan clan without hesitation.

Gu Xun'er played a crucial role in his plan, so he definitely wouldn't replace her prematurely.

Adding money—no, adding resources—won't work either.

After being ignored by Jiang Xing several times, she thought that Jiang Xing was just deliberately making things difficult for her or wanted more benefits.

So they kept increasing their offers, trying to sway Jiang Xing with generous resources, but to no avail.

Jiang Xing's attitude was very firm.

They then realized there was no hope, and they never came back.

For the past fifteen years, Jiang Xing has been diligently cultivating, but he has not been able to break through to the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

This ignited Jiang Xing's fighting spirit, and after going into seclusion again, he vowed never to emerge until he had broken through.

Perhaps it was Jiang Xing's fighting spirit that moved the heavens, for after ten years of seclusion, he finally broke through!

He became one of only three late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses on this continent.

Zi Yan also broke through to the same level as him, successfully reaching the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

This made Jiang Xing happy for a long time, but unfortunately Jiang Yue was in seclusion breaking through to the Seven Star Dou Sheng realm, so he couldn't show it to his daughter.

……

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

Zi Yan has advanced to the mid-stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

Cai Lin is now at the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm.

With his Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, Qing Lin reached the early stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm.

Jiang Xing's father, Jiang Heng, also surpassed the mid-stage of the Seven Star Dou Sheng realm.

With five years remaining until the agreed-upon fifty-year deadline, Jiang Xing and Jiang Yue left Gulong Island.

Jiang Yue's current strength is at the late stage of Seven-Star Dou Sheng. Jiang Xing took her to the Northwest Continent and let her enter the Gate of Life and Death.

Jiang Xing felt that the Gate of Life and Death should be able to help Jiang Yue break through to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm.

Alas, it's a pity that only those with wind-attribute battle qi are allowed to enter...

……

Now, their strength has surpassed that of the Soul Clan.

Jiang Xing and Zi Yan, as powerful nine-star Dou Sheng, are undoubtedly the core strength of this team.

Furthermore, the presence of Cai Lin, Jiang Yue, and Qing Lin, three powerful eight-star Dou Sheng, further amplified their strength.

With the addition of the Seven Star Dou Sheng Jiang Heng and Jiang Cheng, as well as the four elders of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, their lineup is enough to shock the entire Dou Qi Continent.

With the great battle imminent, everyone ceased their seclusion and began preparing for the great battle three years later.

Seeing so many high-level Battle Saints on his side, Jiang Xing was filled with pride.

"Soul Emperor, we're fully developed!"

……

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the agreed-upon time has arrived.

Jiang Xing specially brought a group of high-level Dou Sheng, including Zi Yan, a nine-star Dou Sheng; Cai Lin, an eight-star Dou Sheng; Jiang Yue and Qing Lin; and Jiang Heng, a seven-star Dou Sheng, among others.

The reason for bringing these high-level Battle Saints along was simply to provide an extra layer of protection and make himself safer.

Jiang Xing had witnessed the terror of the Gate of Death in the original novel.

Without Xiao Yan, the members of the alliance might not have made it out.

Jiang Xing couldn't be sure if he would be dragged into it.

As a nine-star Dou Sheng, being imprisoned is not scary. What Jiang Xing fears is being ganged up on by the Soul Clan experts after being imprisoned.

And by then, if he cannot break through this gate of deathly silence from the inside...

With these high-level Battle Saints by his side, even if he were to encounter misfortune, they would be able to find a way to break the Gate of Death and rescue him from his predicament.

Jiang Xing felt confident that he had a winning hand in this round.

In the vast and desolate land of the Dujian Mountains, Gu Yuan waited quietly all alone.

He came here without anyone else.

He did not come to the appointment alone out of confidence, but because he knew the importance of the Ancient Flame Thunder Realm and that he had to ensure that someone stayed behind to prevent the Soul Clan from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and destroy their foundation.

Over the past fifty years, the three ancient clans of Yanlei have not stagnated; their own strength has been greatly enhanced.

Gu Qingyang and Lei Dong, these two young generation members, have successfully broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm under the full cultivation of the Gu Clan and Lei Clan, becoming the best among the three clans.

With the addition of two Seven-Star Dou Sheng, their strength has been greatly enhanced.

In addition, the three clans of Gu Yan Lei, through tireless efforts, finally gathered the materials needed to repair the two progenitors.

After careful repairs and energy replenishment, the two progenitors have almost fully recovered and can be summoned back into battle at any time.

This news undoubtedly provides a strong backing and guarantee for the three ancient clans of Yanlei.

It was precisely because of these enhanced and guaranteed strengths that Gu Yuan dared to leave the Ancient Flame Thunder Realm and come to keep the appointment alone.

He knew that even if the Soul Clan did launch a sneak attack, the powerful figures within the Ancient Flame Thunder Realm would be able to hold out until he arrived to provide support.

Gu Yuan didn't consider whether he would be in danger, because he believed that he was at the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and even if the Soul Emperor and his group were lying in ambush, he was confident that he could escape.

Moreover, even if the Soul Emperor plotted against him, he could crush the jade slip to call for help.

As they approached the Dujian Mountains, Jiang Xing suppressed his strength to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm and had these people hide in the distance. He then took Gu Xun'er and Huo Xuan, whom he had knocked unconscious, and went alone to exchange them with Gu Yuan.

Jiang Xing only came to the edge of the Dujian Mountains; he did not go inside.

Gu Yuan noticed Jiang Xing's arrival and moved closer.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"

Gu Yuan was speechless. "Kill the hostage? What kind of strange word is that?"

But he still stopped.

"Gu Yuan, did you bring everything I asked for?"

Upon seeing Gu Xun'er being held captive by Jiang Xing, Gu Yuan felt a surge of rage.

His daughter was already a four-star Dou Sheng when she was kidnapped.

However, fifty years later, when she reappeared before him, her strength was only that of a two-star Dou Sheng!

How could this not infuriate Gu Yuan?

His own daughter, a divine bloodline of the ancient clan, was destroyed by Jiang Xing!

As a father and the chieftain of an ancient tribe, he was filled with endless anger and grief as he watched his daughter being treated this way.

He secretly vowed that he would make Jiang Xing pay the price someday!

In the tense and solemn atmosphere, Gu Yuanqiang suppressed his anger and slowly took out an exquisite storage ring from his pocket.

"I brought them." Gu Yuan took out the cultivation resources from his storage ring and showed them to Jiang Xing.

"I'll count to three, and we'll throw the things over at the same time."

"One, two..." With each number counted, the atmosphere grew more tense.

"Three!" As Gu Yuan's last number fell, the two acted almost simultaneously.

Gu Yuan and Jiang Xing threw the items out. Jiang Xing caught the storage ring steadily and turned to leave without hesitation.

On the edge of the Dujian Mountains, far from Guyuan, Jiang Xing swiftly traversed the dense forest while silently praying, "Soul Emperor, quickly open the Gate of Deathly Silence! Trapped Guyuan to death!"

His eyes gleamed with cunning and anticipation; clearly, he already had a plan in mind.

Jiang Xing had just used a little trick; he did throw Huo Xuan to Gu Yuan, but Gu Xun'er was thrown in another direction, towards the center of the Du Jian Mountains.

Jiang Xing wanted to use this opportunity to buy some time for the Soul Emperor.

He believed that the Soul Emperor would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as Gu Yuan is held back, the legendary Gate of Death and Silence can be opened, trapping Gu Yuan inside.

"Gu Yuan, good luck to you!" Jiang Xing had no intention of staying to watch the show, as it might distract the Soul Emperor.

Sure enough, just as Gu Yuan caught Huo Xuan and was about to catch Gu Xun'er who had been thrown into the air, an accident occurred.

Two terrifying battle qi attacks ripped through the sky like lightning, heading straight for Gu Xun'er.

"The Gate of Dead Silence!"

At the same time, four massive black gates suddenly appeared around the Sword Mountain Range. They seemed to be messengers from the underworld, exuding a chilling aura. These four gates quickly formed a huge array, firmly surrounding Gu Yuan, Gu Xun'er, and Huo Xuan.

The Gate of Death has been activated. If Gu Yuan cannot escape before the Gate of Death is fully formed, he will be trapped inside!

Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine; he immediately realized something was wrong.

The two attacks were getting closer and closer. He had no time to think and could only block the attack before it hit Gu Xun'er.

The powerful battle energies collided, producing a deafening roar that seemed to tear the entire space apart.

Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan were old rivals, and Gu Yuan immediately recognized that it was an attack launched by Soul Emperor.

"Soul Emperor!"

Gu Yuan realized that this place was no longer safe, and he had to leave as soon as possible, away from the area of ​​the Gate of Death.

Holding Gu Xun'er in one hand and Huo Xuan in the other, he flew away into the distance at top speed.

However, how could the Soul Emperor let such an opportunity pass? Just as Gu Yuan was about to leave the Gate of Death, the Soul Emperor approached Gu Yuan and used all his strength to entangle him.

Gu Yuan was extremely anxious, knowing that his situation was very bad.

He might have been able to easily get rid of the Soul Emperor's entanglement in the past, but now he has two burdens to deal with, which greatly restricts his actions.

This time, the unexpected events of the original story did not occur. All four gates of deathly silence have been opened, and the formation was completed at an unimaginable speed, directly trapping Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and others inside.

The great formation continuously released terrifying death energy, and the mountain range shrouded by the formation was like a dark world.

Gu Yuan could sense that the death energy was trying to penetrate into the bodies of Gu Xun'er and Huo Zhiqi.

Even when Gu Yuan used his battle qi to create a protective shield, he couldn't stop the deathly aura from seeping into their bodies.

She quickly woke them up and told them to try to expel the aura of death themselves, or at least resist it.

Gu Yuan's expression turned ugly.

Seeing this, the Soul Emperor revealed a smug smile.

"Gu Yuan, this time you can't escape even if you grow wings!" Soul Emperor sneered.

Gu Yuan's heart sank; he knew he was in real trouble this time.

The reason why the Soul Emperor opened the Gate of Death was not because he expected the Gate of Death to kill Gu Yuan; that was unrealistic.

Although the Gate of Deathly Silence is terrifying, it cannot harm Gu Yuan, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, for the time being.

Conversely, if no one keeps an eye on Gu Yuan, he might destroy the Gate of Deathly Silence inside.

The Soul Emperor's goal is to trap and kill Gu Yuan inside this Gate of Death!
