Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

"It's all your fault, you old man! You won't let me rest in peace even in death!"

Han Feng clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and deep blue flames flickered faintly in his palms, while a venomous and malevolent aura surged in his eyes.

"That old bastard, Venerable Wind, because of your constant targeting of me, forced me to flee Central Continent, leaving me with nowhere to stand. I even managed to snatch only half a scroll of the Burning Technique that I had been longing for!"

He abruptly raised his eyes, looking in the direction of Zhongzhou, his face slightly contorted with anger, a defiant and crazed smile curving his lips: "What 'immoral character'? That's all bullshit! You're just afraid of my alchemy talent, which far surpasses yours, and that I'll overshadow you in the future!"

Even with incomplete cultivation techniques, forced to rebuild them, and the arduous search for exotic flames in the perilous Black Corner Region, Han Feng still managed to climb to his current position step by step through his own methods. He even managed to complete half of the Burning Flame Technique through sheer willpower. This obsession and ruthlessness were the foundation of his survival in dire circumstances. "Old man, you can't stop me!" he roared in a low voice, his chest heaving violently. He then coughed violently, his pale face revealing an undeniable weakness, but the ambition in his eyes burned like fire. "I will use the Burning Flame Technique to reach the top of the Dou Qi Continent, reclaim the title of the continent's number one alchemist, and let the whole world know that I, Han Feng, am the one who is right!"

Just as Han Feng's emotions were churning and his hatred was hard to quell, a hoarse but extremely respectful voice slowly came from outside the hall, breaking the silence: "Master, there is an important matter to report."

Han Feng instantly suppressed all his outward emotions, raised his hand to gently smooth the wrinkles on his robe, stood tall and straight in front of the alchemy furnace with his hands behind his back, and looked indifferently into the distance.

He was inherently suspicious, never trusted anyone, and would never allow his subordinates to see even the slightest bit of his disheveled state.

"Is this Han Beng? Come in."

As soon as the words fell, a dark figure flashed in like a ghost, kneeling on one knee with its head bowed low. Its eyes were filled with fervor and awe as it looked at Han Feng, especially when it caught sight of the Myriad Beasts Cauldron before Han Feng, engraved with patterns of countless beasts; this respect deepened even further. "Master, a secret document has arrived from the Eight Doors, bearing the highest-level code we agreed upon."

Han Beng respectfully presented Han Feng with a sealed letter and an ancient-looking storage ring held in both hands.

"The highest level code?" Han Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes flashing with an astonishing light, and his breathing became slightly rapid. He had an agreement with Yuan Yi of the Eight Doors that this highest level code would only be used when traces of the strange fire were found.

He snatched the letter and storage ring, his fingertips trembling slightly as he opened the letter. After quickly glancing through it, his face lit up with undisguised elation. Next, he took out a pure blue pill from his storage ring, a few wisps of deep blue flame flickering at his fingertips as he carefully examined the residual aura on the pill. A moment later, an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up within him, causing him to burst into laughter: "It really is the aura of a strange fire! All my planning over the past few months has finally yielded some news!"

He stroked the Imperial Supreme Pill in his hand, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "The pill I just refined has already come in handy, this is destiny! Old man, do you see? Destiny is on my side!" Although Yuan Yi was greedy, demanding a high-grade Imperial Supreme Pill based on only a little information about the Strange Fire, in Han Feng's eyes, a sixth-grade pill was nothing but dust compared to the Strange Fire.

The letter stated that the holder of the strange fire was only a newly entered Dou Huang and was not particularly strong. However, once the other party left, Yuan Yi might not be able to hold him back.

Han Feng was meticulous and knew that delay would lead to unforeseen changes, so he immediately made a decision that he had to set off right away.

He tossed out several tokens, his expression serious as he looked at Han Beng, his voice as cold as iron: "Take these tokens and order the major powers of the Earth Flame Sect, Blood Sect, and Black Skull Tomb to have their sect leaders personally lead their men to guard all the key roads around the Eight Doors. Before I send back my message, not a single bird is allowed to pass!"

Having said that, he took out two more tokens, one gold and one silver, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the direction of Canaan Academy. After a moment's hesitation, he put the tokens back into his storage ring. "This is of utmost importance. You must carry it out immediately without the slightest delay!"

After giving his orders, Han Feng suddenly unfurled a pair of wings formed from deep blue flames. As the flames surged, his figure transformed into a streak of blue light and flew rapidly toward the Eight Doors.

...

The plains outside Black Seal City.

Lin Yao was waiting quietly with Qing Yue and Zi Yan, while Yuan Yi from the Eight Doors stood respectfully to the side, his gaze towards the three people in front of him filled with relief and awe.

The young man before him appeared to be quite young, and the girl and little girl beside him were still very innocent, yet the aura they exuded far exceeded his expectations. Especially the little girl named Zi Yan, who was only eleven or twelve years old, yet the power surging around her was even stronger than his, a Dou Huang. Following such an unfathomable master, Yuan Yi felt increasingly fearful.

As expected of someone from a powerful family, they have so many geniuses.

He easily surpassed his decades of accumulated experience.

Zi Yan chewed on the sweet pills with a smacking sound, her brows furrowed slightly. Bored, she tugged at Lin Yao's sleeve, her soft voice carrying a hint of complaint: "Lin Yao, Lin Yao, what are we waiting for? We've been waiting for hours, it's so boring."

Lin Yao raised his hand and gently stroked Zi Yan's soft hair, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips. He looked in the direction Han Feng had come from and slowly said, "We're waiting for a big gift, a traitor who betrayed our sect, a person who changed many things."

Zi Yan tilted her head, her big eyes filled with confusion, completely unable to understand the deeper meaning in Lin Yao's words.

Looking at her bewildered expression, Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh and gently coaxed her, "It's okay if you don't understand. You just need to know that the person we're waiting for has countless rare and precious treasures. Once we take care of him, you won't have to worry about food for a long time."

"Really?!" Zi Yan's eyes lit up like stars instantly, her boredom vanished, and she sat up straight, staring longingly into the distance, her heart full of anticipation.

Qingyue, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened them. A glint of light flashed in her emerald eyes as she looked at Lin Yao with tacit understanding: "Brother, an aura of a peak Dou Huang is flying towards Black Seal City."

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of emerald light appeared in Qingyue's eyes. She instantly unleashed the Illusionary Eye Technique, cultivated for many years, transmitting a massive amount of information into Lin Yao's mental world without reservation. Lin Yao offered no resistance, readily accepting all the information. After quickly analyzing it, his smile deepened: "They're not far from here. To come all alone... it seems this guy's obsession with the strange fire has reached a point of madness."

"Now that we've gathered our resources, let's solve everything at once and set off."

"Yes, brother." Qingyue nodded gently and gracefully flew into the air.

"Don't worry, I've got it covered!" Zi Yan patted her chest confidently and followed after them.

…At once…

Han Feng, flying at full speed, immediately sensed the violent collision of wind and fire. He focused intently, and his face lit up with ecstatic joy: "It's a strange fire! And Yuan Yi's wind-elemental aura too! They're fighting! Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

He immediately took out a Grade 5 Windwalking Pill from his storage ring and swallowed it. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, his speed increased dramatically, and he transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the location of the conflict.

Before long, Han Feng arrived at the scene, where he saw Yuan Yi confronting a figure surrounded by cyan flames. Yuan Yi's aura was weak, and he had obvious wounds on his body, while the flame-encircled youth had a strong aura, and his Dou Huang realm was clearly discernible, yet his specific cultivation level was impossible to ascertain.

Upon seeing Han Feng arrive, Yuan Yi immediately flapped his wings and flew to his side, feigning pride as he loudly proclaimed, "Medicine King, I not only found information about the strange fire, but I also helped you stop the person. You'd better be generous with this reward!"

Han Feng's gaze was fixed on Lin Yao, his eyes gleaming with greed and ferocity as he stared intently at the azure flame: "The color of the flame, and the lotus shape that appears as it burns—it's the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking! Heaven is on my side! No matter who you are, I, Han Feng, am determined to have this strange flame!"

He turned to Yuan Yi, his voice ruthless: "Yuan Yi, help me capture this man, and the agreed-upon reward will be doubled!"

"Thank you, Medicine King! I'll cover for you!" Yuan Yi responded loudly, but secretly began to gather his battle qi, waiting for the best opportunity.

Lin Yao looked at the impatient Han Feng with a hint of mockery in his eyes. With a flick of his wrist, a spear formed from cyan flames appeared in his hand. He moved swiftly and engaged Han Feng in battle.

The azure fire spear and the deep blue fire sword collided with a deafening roar, scorching fire energy shooting out in all directions, and energy ripples sweeping in all directions. In just a few dozen rounds, Han Feng was shocked to find that the young man in front of him moved as nimbly as a dragon in the clouds. His fierce attacks could not even touch the hem of the other's clothes, while the occasional counterattacks forced him to dodge in a sorry state and live in constant danger.

"Spiral Force - Break!"

With a thought, Lin Yao unleashed a spiraling burst of energy from his spear. With a flick of his wrist, the spear slashed fiercely at Han Feng with the force of splitting a mountain. Han Feng had no way to dodge and could only raise his sword to block. At the same time, he conjured a deep blue fire armor to protect himself. But with a crisp "crack," the fire sword shattered instantly, and the spear tip slammed heavily onto the fire armor. The immense force sent him crashing to the ground from the sky, raising a cloud of dust.

Han Feng emerged from the dust and smoke in a disheveled state, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His face was so grim it could drip water, and he was filled with both shock and suspicion: "This kid's movement technique and strength are ridiculously powerful, and he's even cultivated a body-refining fighting technique..." Then, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes, "The body-refining method might be able to resolve the backlash from the incomplete Burning Technique!"

Lin Yao took in Han Feng's expression and shook his head inwardly. Han Feng's cultivation technique was only at the high-level of the Profound Rank, far from the Earth Rank, and his control over flames was extremely crude. The limitations of half a scroll of the Burning Technique were fully demonstrated in him. With such combat strength, there was really no need to waste time.

He spoke calmly, his tone full of sarcasm: "Is this all the skill the Medicine Venerable's personal disciple has? It's rather disappointing."

The words "Master Medicine" pierced Han Feng's sore spot like a sharp blade, instantly enraging him. His eyes blazed with murderous intent: "You're not allowed to mention that name! You only won one move, don't be so arrogant!"

Han Feng's deep blue flames surged wildly within him, condensing into a flaming trident several meters long. With a crashing sound like waves, he slammed it down towards Lin Yao: "Sea Flame Trident!"

Lin Yao remained calm as the cyan and crimson seal in his hand materialized. He softly uttered, "Mountain and River Seal!"

The seal and the trident collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a devastating energy storm that swept in all directions. The two forces locked in a battle of attrition. Han Feng, pale-faced, hurriedly swallowed a qi-restoring pill. Seeing the trident's energy waning, he roared fiercely, "Yuan Yi, attack!"

"yes!"

Yuan Yi responded and moved, but the Wind God's Wrath that had been fully condensed did not attack Lin Yao. Instead, it slammed heavily into the back of the unsuspecting Han Feng!

"Pfft—" Han Feng spat out blood, abruptly turning his head to stare at Yuan Yi with bloodshot eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief and extreme rage: "Yuan Yi! You dare betray me!"

Before he could react, Lin Yao's attack had already landed:

As the azure light entered his body, layers of seals instantly locked Han Feng's cultivation. His aura plummeted, and he could no longer mobilize his battle qi or the Sea Heart Flame. His wings dissipated, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

With the dust settled, Lin Yao and Yuan Yi slowly walked up to Han Feng. Only then did Han Feng realize that, from the secret document to the information about the strange fire, someone was preparing a hunt.

Lin Yao toyed with the Netherworld Ring he had taken from Han Feng's hand, a playful smile on his face: "How does it feel to be betrayed by a collaborator? When you betrayed the Medicine Venerable, his feelings must have been even more painful than yours."

Han Feng's face turned deathly pale, yet he still feigned sorrow and tried to bluff his way out. However, Lin Yao had already seen through everything and directly exposed his collusion with Mu Gu, forcing Han Feng's expression to change drastically. Under Lin Yao's oppressive aura, Han Feng could only humiliatingly erase the soul imprint on his storage ring, watching helplessly as his life's savings changed hands.

After cleaning the storage ring, Lin Yao probed it with his soul power and his eyes were filled with surprise. The storage ring contained a mountain of rare medicinal herbs, countless sixth-grade, seventh-grade, and even eighth-grade pill formulas, all kinds of earth-grade cultivation techniques and fighting skills, as well as half a scroll of the Burning Manual and the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, a treasure of the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. Han Feng's years of management and the legacy of the old medicine master had all fallen into his hands.

In order to investigate the clues about the half-scroll of the Burning Technique and the Soul Palace, Lin Yao did not kill Han Feng immediately. Instead, he planted a restriction deep in Han Feng's soul and knocked him unconscious. Afterward, he had Yuan Yi mark the locations of the major forces in the Black Corner Region. He learned that the sect leaders of the five major forces—the Profound Bone Sect, the Heavenly Fiend Poison Sect, the Blade Shadow Sect, the Earth Flame Sect, and the Blood Sect—who were coming to support Han Feng, were about to arrive. Lin Yao immediately decided to wipe out these scourges of the Black Corner Region.

Upon hearing the news, Zi Yan and Qing Yue rushed to the scene. The three powerful figures joined forces and, in just one hour, killed all the sect leaders of the five major forces. Zhao Hui of the Xuan Gu Sect, Xu Sha of the Tian Sha Poison Sect, Xue You of the Ren Ying Sect, Yao Yuan of the Di Yan Sect, and Fan Lao of the Xue Sect—these powerful Dou Huang figures who once dominated the Black Corner Region were utterly powerless against Lin Yao and his companions, and all perished.
