Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 169 Ancestor Fire Cloud

Burning Flame Valley is located in the Blazing Fire Mountain Range in the southwest of the Central Region. This mountain range is entirely composed of blazing volcanoes. As far as the eye can see, it is uniformly crimson. Thick white smoke constantly rises from the tops of some peaks, and occasionally lava overflows from them.

The Blazing Fire Mountains enjoy a considerable reputation even within the entire Central Continent. This is partly due to the presence of the Burning Flame Valley, but also because of the harsh environment of this mountain range.

Although the environment here isn't particularly pleasing to the eye, the endless volcanoes result in an exceptionally rich concentration of fire-attribute energy. Cultivating fire-attribute techniques here will undoubtedly yield twice the results with half the effort.

Therefore, even though they know this place is quite dangerous, many people who practice fire-attribute techniques still risk coming here.

The Blazing Fire Mountain Range presents two extremely majestic crimson mountains, which stand closely together, with a winding stone staircase leading up from the foot of the mountains.

Not far in front of the stone steps, the space there faintly emanated an astonishing spatial fluctuation, clearly indicating that there was another world behind it.

Behind it was an extremely long set of blue stone steps, surrounded by a lush green grove. Looking into the distance, one could see many buildings peeking through the greenery, and faintly, the sounds of people could be heard from afar, eventually swirling within this seemingly endless valley.

There was a faint sense of distortion in the sky, indicating that the entire Burning Flame Valley was shrouded in a distorted space, and the bamboo forest deep within the Burning Flame Valley was a forbidden area.

……

The moment Huo Yun Patriarch stood up to question him, Long Yan appeared with two women, cupping his hands and saying, "Junior Long Yan greets Senior Huo Yun."

"Long Yan!"

The Fire Cloud Ancestor's pupils constricted slightly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You were severely injured in the soul by Xiao Xuan's soul skill back then, yet you're still alive!"

"Hmm?" Long Yan was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. Was it because of this name that people mistook him for the Yin-Yang Saint Long Yan?

Long Yan chuckled and said, "Senior is probably mistaken. Although my name is Long Yan, I am no longer the Yin-Yang Saint I once was."

Old Ancestor Huoyun snorted coldly, "To call that Yin-Yang Saint a Yin-Yang Saint, what difference does it make whether you are truly Long Yan or not?"

Long Yan, who died at Xiao Xuan's hands, called himself the Yin-Yang Saint, but others called him the Yin-Yang Lewd Saint. However, Xiao Jue believed that since he had obtained the other party's inheritance, he should at least leave him some dignity.

Although he wouldn't care if others insulted the other party, Xiao Jue couldn't very well continue to slander him after receiving his inheritance, even if Long Yan really was the Yin-Yang Saint.

Long Yan raised an eyebrow and used his spatial power to send Han Xue and Feng Qing'er behind him to the main hall of Burning Flame Valley, a magnificent fiery red hall.

At the head of the main hall stood a thin, red-haired old man dressed in simple linen clothes. His face was always full of smiles, but those who had seen him knew very well the weight and status of this old man in the Central Region.

Beside the red-haired old man stood a woman in red, her slender waist wrapped with a dark red whip that accentuated her alluring figure.

The woman's appearance was also quite remarkable, but her delicate eyebrows revealed a hint of heroism. Paired with her fiery red outfit, she looked dashing and had a unique charm.

The sudden appearance of Han Xue and Feng Qing'er startled everyone in the hall, and the elders of Burning Flame Valley watched them warily.

At this moment, a voice rang out in the hall, "Valley Master Tang Zhen, bring Tang Huo'er to the place where Senior Huo Yun lives in seclusion, and have them take good care of the people I brought."

The people in the hall were slightly startled. Feng Qing'er and Han Xue also bowed respectfully and said, "Feng Qing'er (Han Xue) greets Valley Master Tang."

"No need for such formalities, you two." Tang Zhen smiled and nodded, then looked at Tang Huo'er beside him and said, "Let's postpone the discussion about whether you should devour the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Come with me to see Ancestor Huoyun first."

Tang Zhen then instructed the others to take good care of Feng Qing'er and Han Xue before leaving with Tang Huo'er. The fact that he was able to bring Feng Qing'er and Han Xue here without them noticing meant that their strength far surpassed his. Even if they weren't Dou Sheng or Ban Sheng level experts, they must have been Jiu Zhuan Dou Zun.

……

Huoyun Patriarch looked at Long Yan warily. The strength and soul power that Long Yan had just displayed proved that the other party was stronger than him.

If it really is that Yin Yang Yin Sheng who escaped from Xiao Xuan but was critically injured and on the verge of death, and has recovered from his soul injury and further increased his strength, then Burning Flame Valley is probably doomed today.

"Senior, there's no need to be nervous," Long Yan said with a smile. "Although I am named Long Yan, I was only created from Yin and Yang flames. Do you know how the Yin-Yang Saint Long Yan escaped from Xiao Xuan's grasp?"

The Fire Cloud Ancestor frowned and said, "You are an avatar formed from the Yin-Yang Twin Flames. Who is your true form? And what is your relationship with Long Yan?"

"My true form is called Xiao Jue, a descendant of the Xiao clan. As for my relationship with the Yin-Yang Saint Long Yan, it's simply that I received his inheritance."

"A descendant of Xiao Xuan?" Old Ancestor Huoyun was somewhat incredulous. He had learned some of what happened at the last moment when the Xiao clan was almost wiped out.

Just as Xiao Xuan was preparing to break through, he was attacked by the Soul Clan. During the battle, Xiao Xuan forced his way through, but after failing to break through, he also stepped into the pseudo-Dou Di realm.

The latest novel is first published here!

After sending off Elder Xiao Kong and some surviving members of the Xiao clan, Xiao Xuan chose to self-destruct along with the three strange flames within his body.

The Fire Cloud Ancestor said in a deep voice, "If you are a descendant of the Xiao Clan, where is Senior Xiao Kong?"

"Never seen it before." Long Yan shrugged and said, "As far back as I can remember, the Xiao Clan has been the Xiao Family, located in the Northwest Continent. At that time, the strongest person in the Xiao Family was only a Great Dou Master. Now I am the patriarch of the Xiao Clan."

"About three or four years ago, I met Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan, at the Xiao family and gave him the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. Not long ago, I met Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei clan. Now I am Lei Ying's son-in-law."

Long Yan released the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, causing Huo Yun Lao Zu to watch him warily, until he saw the cyan lotus flame seed, the blue wavy flame seed, the milky white invisible flame seed, the forest white flame seed, and finally the black thunder dragon that resembled the Nine Dragons Thunderfire within the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

These individual flames of strange fire, especially the Nine Dragons Thunderfire sub-flame filled with the aura of black demonic lightning, made Old Ancestor Fire Cloud lower his guard slightly.

The Fire Cloud Ancestor said in a deep voice, "The sub-fire of that Nine Dragons Thunderfire is indeed from the Thunder Clan."
