Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Gu He and Yun Yun fell into Medusa's hands, and Lin Yao seized the opportunity to see if he could lure Yun Shan of the Yunlan Sect out.

"If Yunshan is confident enough to come in person, it will save me a lot of trouble."

Lin Yao thought to himself, gently stroking his chin with his fingertips.

"If he lacks confidence and insists on bringing that Protector Wu along..."

As he said this, a cold, sharp glint flashed in Lin Yao's eyes.

Even though Protector Wu is also at the Dou Zong level, he is absolutely confident that he can take down both of them at the same time.

With his current strength as a nine-star Dou Huang, combined with the power of the Ultimate Terror Beast, dealing with two powerhouses who have just entered the Dou Zong realm or whose strength is at the early stage of Dou Zong is a piece of cake.

In fact, Lin Yao had an even more direct thought in his mind.

They stormed the Yunlan Sect and seized control of Yunshan and Protector Wu, two important figures from the early stages of the sect.

This way, we can gain more initiative.

But the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he suppressed it.

Going directly to Yunlan Sect would be like fighting on foreign soil, which carries some uncertainty. It wouldn't be good if a mysterious Soul Hall Venerable suddenly appeared.

Dou Zong is manageable, but Dou Zun level experts are beyond Lin Yao's current capabilities.

If a powerful expert of that caliber were to suddenly appear, it would be a case of losing more than gaining.

In comparison, waiting in the Tagor Desert is undoubtedly a safer and more convenient option.

Just as Lin Yao was pondering, a purple figure appeared beside him like a ghost; it was Queen Medusa.

Her crimson-gold vertical pupils were fixed on Lin Yao, her eyes carrying a hint of probing.

Her deep purple skirt swayed gently in the wind, and she exuded a faint aura of fighting spirit.

"The Great Offering".

Queen Medusa's voice was clear and melodious, yet carried an innate majesty.

"Yun Shan has already broken through to the Dou Zong realm, so he's bound to come with a vengeance. You... do you really have the strength to contend with a Dou Zong?"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Lin Yao, before continuing:

"If you're not absolutely certain, why not seek help from a powerful figure backing you?"

Queen Medusa believed that Lin Yao was indeed very powerful.

Previously, he had suppressed her and the four peak Douhuang elders all by himself.

This level of strength is absolutely top-tier even among Dou Huangs; calling him a half-step Dou Zong wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But a Dou Zong is still a Dou Zong. It is an insurmountable chasm that stands in front of a Dou Huang, a qualitative leap.

She had personally witnessed the power of her clan's lost heritage and the strength of the last Dou Zong expert.

The power that could draw upon the forces of heaven and earth with every gesture was something that even a Dou Huang could not contend with.

Even if Lin Yao is strong, he would probably be powerless against a Dou Zong expert.

If Lin Yao has powerful backers, it's best to intervene sooner rather than later to avoid being caught off guard and suffering a setback.

It's likely that any force capable of nurturing a genius like Lin Yao would be much more reliable in dealing with a mere Dou Zong expert from Yunshan, should they intervene.

.

After all, the snake people are now subservient to Lin Yao and share weal and woe.

Yunshan's visit is not solely to rescue Yunyun and Guhe; he certainly won't just be making a simple trip. He will definitely take action.

It would be bad if something happened to Lin Yao.

The Serpent People, whose conflict with the Human Empire has intensified, may also be unable to withstand the pressure from other empires.

Queen Medusa was lost in thought, but Lin Yao was unaware of her considerations.

Hearing Medusa's words, he simply smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Seeing Lin Yao's confident demeanor, a complex emotion flashed in Queen Medusa's crimson-gold vertical pupils.

There was envy, there was jealousy, but above all, there was an extreme desire for power.

As the queen of the snake people, she bears the heavy responsibility of leading her entire race out of the Tagor Desert.

However, this barren desert is scarce in resources and full of dangers. The snake people have lived here for hundreds of years and have long suffered.

She longed to possess great power, to have the strength to rival a Dou Zong like Lin Yao.

They were able to truly protect their people and lead the snake people away from this barren land to a wider world.

Only by possessing absolute power can she be the true queen of the Snake People and allow the Snake People to truly establish themselves on this northwestern continent.

Lin Yao noticed the undisguised thirst for power in Queen Medusa's eyes, and a thought stirred within him.

He couldn't help but think of Queen Medusa from the original story, the stunning woman who, in dire straits, used the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to fuse with her own life essence, completing an earth-shattering transformation and evolving into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

In the original story, Medusa's potential and strength skyrocketed thanks to that transformation, breaking through the limitations of her natal snake spirit and becoming a Dou Zong-level powerhouse.

They truly shouldered the future of the Serpent People.

Medusa is now at the peak of Dou Huang, only one step away from Dou Zong, but that step is extremely difficult.

Countless powerful warriors at the peak of the Douhuang realm have spent their entire lives unable to take that crucial step, ultimately fading away in the passage of time.

Lin Yao looked at Queen Medusa, pondering whether he should give her a chance—a chance for her to transform and truly rise to power.

The idea kept fermenting in his mind, but he didn't put it into action immediately.

He knew that the time was not yet right, and everything would have to wait until after Yunshan and Wuhu were dealt with before making any plans.

……

Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Gama Empire's capital.

Jia Xingtian sat upright in the main seat, looking solemnly at the clouds and mountains below.

At this moment, Yunshan was dressed in a blue robe, his beard and hair were all white, but his face was ruddy like a young man's, and he exuded a faint but powerful aura.

The pressure seemed calm, but it was as heavy as a mountain, making even Jia Xingtian, a veteran Dou Huang peak expert, feel a bit suffocated.

"Brother Yun, congratulations."

Jia Xingtian took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth, his tone full of admiration.

"I never expected you to actually break through to the Dou Zong realm. You're the first person in my Jia Ma Empire in hundreds of years!"

Yunshan wore a faint smile, his brows furrowed with confidence and pride.

He slightly raised his hand, and a gentle yet domineering fighting spirit slowly emanated from it.

With a gentle roll, it steadily lifted the teacup in the main hall, suspending it in mid-air.

"Just lucky."

Yunshan said calmly, without a trace of humility in his tone.

"Now that I have broken through to the Dou Zong level, I can say that I have lived up to the expectations of the ancestors of the Yunlan Sect."

His visit to Jia Xingtian was precisely to demonstrate his Dou Zong strength.

This intimidated the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, further solidifying the Yunlan Sect's position within the empire.

As he expected, Jia Xingtian's reaction was one of awe and respect for his strength.

Having resolved his concerns, Yunshan was not planning to take action against the Jia Ma royal family for the time being. Instead, he wanted to rescue his apprentice and Dan Wang Guhe.

Thinking this, Yunshan's figure transformed into a streak of azure light, bursting through the roof of the main hall and speeding towards the Tagor Desert.

The way it flew through the air and the terrifying speed left Jia Xingtian dumbfounded, his heart filled with envy and awe.

"A Dou Zong... He really is a Dou Zong..."

Jia Xingtian muttered to himself, his heart filled with countless emotions.

……

The Tagor Desert, the altar of the Snake People.

A streak of azure light pierced the sky, falling like a meteor outside the altar, its powerful battle aura causing the entire altar to tremble.

"As expected, he is a Dou Zong level expert."

Looking at that figure, Queen Medusa, seated on her throne, murmured softly.

Queen Medusa was alright, but the others had already been affected by the aura and were filled with panic.

If Queen Medusa hadn't remained calmly seated on her throne, unmoved, the snake people would have already erupted into chaos.

On the other side, Yunshan floated in mid-air, his blue robe fluttering in the wind.

His beard and hair flew wildly, and his eyes were filled with icy killing intent as his gaze swept across the snake-man warriors below like lightning.

Ultimately, the blame fell on Queen Medusa, who sat enthroned on her throne.

"Medusa, release Yunyun and Guhe, and I can forgive and forget what happened today."

Yunshan's voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the entire altar, carrying the pressure of a Dou Zong powerhouse.

This caused many of the weaker snake-man warriors to tremble and turn pale.

Queen Medusa slowly rose to her feet, her crimson-gold vertical pupils coldly fixed on Yunshan, a mocking smile playing on her lips:

"Yunshan, do you think you can swagger around on my snake-people's territory just because you've broken through to the Dou Zong realm?"

Before she finished speaking, Queen Medusa flashed into a crimson streak of light, soaring into the sky and confronting Yunshan in mid-air.

Her battle aura erupted instantly, the dense red battle aura burning like flames, dyeing the entire sky crimson.

"So what if you're a Dou Zong? Today, I'll show you that you can't just mess with my Snake-People race!"

Queen Medusa let out a delicate shout and rushed towards Yunshan like a ghost.

A scarlet longsword formed from battle qi materialized in his hand, and with a sharp whistling sound, it pierced straight towards Yunshan's vital point.

Upon seeing this, Yunshan's eyes flashed with disdain.

In his eyes, Medusa was nothing more than a peak Dou Huang, and no matter how strong she was, she was like an ant in front of him, a Dou Zong.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Yunshan snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved it. A surge of azure battle qi surged out like a tide, transforming into a giant palm that slapped towards Medusa.

With a loud bang, the scarlet longsword collided with the cyan battle qi palm.

The terrifying shockwave spread out like a shockwave, leveling the sand dunes below.

Queen Medusa felt a terrifying force travel through the longsword, making her arm go numb.

His body was involuntarily sent flying dozens of feet away before he could barely regain his balance, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

She raised her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a hint of seriousness flashing in her crimson-gold vertical pupils.

The strength of a Dou Zong expert is indeed terrifying.

The power of heaven and earth that she could unleash with every gesture was something she could not contend with.

Even though she was at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, she was still no match for a Dou Zong expert.

Seeing Queen Medusa's injured state, Yunshan's disdain deepened:

"Medusa, do you still think you have the right to stop me?"

Queen Medusa took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood within her, and said coldly:

"Yunshan, don't be too smug. If you want to take Yunyun and Guhe away today, you'll have to get past the person behind me first."

After speaking, Queen Medusa flashed to the side of the altar and gestured for the top of the sand dune to follow.

Upon hearing this, Yunshan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. He followed Queen Medusa's gaze and saw a figure in black slowly descending from the top of the sand dune.

The figure appeared slow, but in just a few steps, it appeared in the center of the altar.

Lin Yao stood with his hands behind his back, his dark eyes calmly gazing at Yun Shan, his face expressionless.

However, he exuded an extremely subtle pressure, which, though seemingly ordinary, made even Yunshan, a powerful Dou Zong, feel a strange sense of unease.

"Who are you?"

Yunshan frowned, his tone tinged with wariness.

He could sense that the seemingly ordinary young man before him possessed unfathomable power, which made him feel uneasy.

How did such a young guy suddenly appear, yet possess an aura that makes me wary? Is this still the Gama Empire I live in?

On the other side, Lin Yao did not answer Yun Shan's question, but simply smiled faintly and said softly:

"Yunshan, now that you're here, why don't you stay?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yao's aura exploded instantly. A terrifying pressure swept out like a tsunami, and the entire world changed color.

The once clear sky instantly turned gloomy, with howling winds and raging sandstorms, as if it were the end of the world.

Behind Lin Yao, a gigantic phantom slowly emerged. It was a terrifying beast of immense size.

Its entire body is covered in jet-black scales, as hard as steel, and its enormous eyes are like two blood moons, exuding a terrifying and ferocious aura.

The oppressive aura emanating from him instilled a deep-seated fear in even Yun Shan, a powerful Dou Zong cultivator.

Ultimate Terror Beast!

This is a terrifying existence created by Lin Yao based on the power of the Ultimate Terror Beast from the Yu-Gi-Oh! world that he learned about in the Star Palace, combined with his other accumulated knowledge.

The terrifying power contained within its bloodline possesses an ultimate pressure that surpasses all things in heaven and earth.

Yunshan's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He could clearly feel that the pressure emanating from this phantom of a demonic beast was several times, or even dozens of times, more terrifying than that of him, a Dou Zong powerhouse!

It was an absolute suppression based on bloodline, an ultimate fear from ancient times.

"What...what is this?"

Yunshan trembled all over, his eyes filled with terror.

He tried to mobilize his fighting spirit to resist, but under the oppressive aura of the ultimate terrifying beast, his fighting spirit seemed to solidify and could not be activated at all.

Lin Yao slowly raised his hand and gently shook hands with Yun Shan.

"Buzz!"

In the void, a terrifying power condensed, like an invisible giant hand, instantly enveloping Yunshan.

Yunshan wanted to struggle and resist, but in the face of that absolute power, his resistance seemed so pale and powerless.

He felt like a chicken with its neck being squeezed, unable to move an inch, and could only watch helplessly as that invisible giant hand reached out to grab him.

"No! Impossible! How could you possibly have such strength!"

Yunshan let out a desperate roar, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had just broken through to the Dou Zong realm and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the glory of a Dou Zong powerhouse when he was completely crushed by the mysterious young man in front of him.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Yunshan's body was slammed hard onto the ground by that invisible giant hand, stirring up a cloud of dust.

He felt as if all his bones had been broken, and he was in excruciating pain. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath instantly weakened.

Lin Yao slowly walked up to Yun Shan, looking down at him with no pity in his dark eyes, only calmness.

"Now, you have two choices."

Lin Yao's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority.

"First, I will eliminate you, and the Yunlan Sect will be destroyed as a result. Second, seize the opportunity I'm giving you, profit from it, and completely break free from the Soul Palace's control."

Yunshan lay on the ground, struggling to lift his head, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

How does this person know the Soul Palace Protector, Protector Wu?

Furthermore, he didn't understand Lin Yao's meaning. What did it mean to "break free from the control of the Soul Palace"?

Lin Yao looked at Yun Shan's puzzled expression and said calmly:

"Do you really think that Protector Wu of the Soul Palace was kindly helping you break through to the Dou Zong realm? He has already left a contingency plan on you, just waiting for the day he can reap the rewards."

"The day you reach the harvest will be the day you die. Your soul will be tampered with, making you easy to harvest. And when you die, it will also be the day the Yunlan Sect is destroyed."

Lin Yao's voice rang in Yun Shan's ears, making him tremble.

He was only focused on breaking through to the Dou Zong realm before, and didn't care about anything else, but afterwards, he could indeed sense a slight disharmony in his soul.

It was originally thought to be a flaw caused by forcibly breaking through.

But now, hearing Lin Yao say this, his doubts increased, and at the same time, he became more convinced.

Especially the young man in front of him, who possesses strength far exceeding his own at such a young age, must also come from a powerful family.

He has very few choices.

In this situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, whatever the strong say goes, and we must seize this opportunity.

This opportunity might be the only chance for Yunlan Sect to survive, and it might also be his only chance to survive.

Yunshan took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "What...what do you want me to do?"

Lin Yao looked at Yun Shan's expression and nodded.

The initiative has completely fallen into his hands.
