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

Chapter 222 Returning to the Gama Empire

The boundless blue sky is dotted with lazy clouds that only move slightly when a gentle breeze blows. Sunlight streams down from the clouds, illuminating the towering mountains below with warmth.

Suddenly, the sound of gusts of wind swept across the desolate sky. Then, a small black dot appeared at the edge of the sky. Moments later, the black dot came with the wind and finally transformed into a powerful magical beast exuding a fierce aura.

If a powerful Dou Zun from Zhongzhou were to see this scene, they would probably be dumbfounded. This was actually the supreme demonic beast, the Ancient Void Dragon, and it even had a pair of wings on its back that exuded the aura of wind and thunder.

The Wings of the Heavenly Phoenix, even some powerful Dou Sheng might not recognize in today's Dou Qi Continent, as the ancient Heavenly Phoenix has been gone for far too long.

This ancient dragon-phoenix is ​​none other than Feng Qing'er. It has been said that she is Xiao Jue's mount, so he can't just ride her when she is in human form. When she transforms into her true form, she becomes his real mount.

On the back of the ancient dragon-phoenix, Xiao Jue held Huo Zhi in his arms. He was getting more and more fond of teasing Huo Zhi, probably because she was the only one who was truly shy.

Everyone else was used to being with Xiao Jue, but Huo Zhi was still so shy.

Before Xiao Jue's soul power at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, Huo Zhi couldn't fake it. At this moment, she was being held in Xiao Jue's arms, her body tense.

Xiao Jue and Huo Zhi were standing, but they were communicating at close range. Behind Huo Zhi, there was a gap in the hem of her dress, which Xiao Jue blocked with his body, and that was how he entered.

Because Feng Qing'er had already broken through to the Dou Zun realm and become an eighth-order magical beast and a true ancient dragon-phoenix, she naturally flew extremely high, so she did not encounter any other people disturbing her along the way.

Given Feng Qing'er's speed, it would naturally take only a few hours to take them from Canaan Academy to the Gama Empire, but Xiao Jue had Feng Qing'er fly across the entire Northwest Continent.

He only needed to scan the location of all forces in the Northwest Continent with his soul power to determine their exact positions.

The Northwest Continent is indeed full of hidden talents. During this period, Xiao Jue even discovered the traces of two Dou Sheng powerhouses, but they did not discover them because Xiao Jue used his soul power to conceal their tracks.

Time slipped away swiftly like sand through fingers during that monotonous flight, and as time passed, Xiao Jue and his group finally flew across the entire Northwest Continent.

Time passed in the monotonous flight, and as the endless journey once again crossed a majestic mountain range, the outline of a massive fortress suddenly appeared faintly at the end of the horizon.

Built against the mountain, the fortress, like a fierce tiger, guards the vital passage from the empire to the outside world. Anyone who wants to leave the empire must pass through this massive fortress.

This heavily fortified fortress has, over the years, swallowed countless battlefield souls, which is why many surrounding empires fear it like the plague.

Therefore, this fortress has a rather ominous name.

Zhengui Pass!

When Xiao Jue's gaze fell upon the massive fortress silhouette appearing in the far distance, the smile on his face slowly froze. In a flash, he appeared above the Zhen Gui Pass.

The others on Feng Qing'er's back also leaped lightly, relying on their Dou Zun cultivation to step into the void. Feng Qing'er also transformed into human form and stood beside them.

During this period, all the women broke through to the Dou Zun realm with Xiao Jue's help.

Gazing at the city fortress that, even from a distance, still exuded a menacing aura, a smile appeared on his lips after a moment, quickly widening.

"In a year and a half, I have transformed from a mere Dou Ling who still needed to rely on the possession of a Heaven-Rank Dou Technique to fight against the Earth Demon Old Ghost into a four-star Dou Sheng. Looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent, there are probably only a dozen or so people stronger than me."

Xiao Jue sighed. In just two months, everyone else had broken through to the Dou Zun level, and he hadn't stood still either. He had refined a portion of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit's energy and broken through to the early stage of the Four-Star Dou Sheng level.

In addition to Xiao Jue's own strength at the early stage of a four-star Dou Sheng, he also possesses the Yin-Yang clone Long Yan, a mid-stage seven-star Dou Sheng, and the Heavenly Demon Puppet Tiger King, a late-stage six-star Dou Sheng.

"Is this the Gama Empire?" Hu Jia and the others stepped forward curiously, gazing at the distant fortress, and asked, "It doesn't look like much, so how could it produce a powerhouse like Xiao Jue?"

Xiao Yu nodded. "Yes, this is a border fortress of the Gama Empire. Once you pass through here, you've entered the borders of the Gama Empire."

Xiao Mei came over and asked, "Brother Xiao Jue, where are we going now?"

"Of course it's the capital. The family has already moved to the capital. Although the Gama Empire hasn't had time to expand yet, we still have a considerable amount of family land in the capital."

At this moment, Xiao Jue was not thinking about the clan's territory, but about the small world. The Xiao Realm of yesteryear no longer existed. He had asked Lei Ying, who said it had been blown up by Xiao Xuan's self-destruction.

Fortunately, the Xiao Realm and the Ancient Realm were adjacent to each other, with the Heavenly Tomb in between, which was jointly controlled by the two races. This allowed Xiao Xuan to leave an energy body in the Heavenly Tomb.

After the Xiao Clan was destroyed, the ancient clans did not receive any inheritance. Part of it was taken away by Xiao Kong, the great elder of the Xiao Clan, and the other part disappeared along with the Xiao Realm.

The latest novel is first published here!

There is no conspiracy theory that Gu Yuan got something for nothing. If there is one, it might be that the Heavenly Tomb was originally shared by the two races but became a secret realm exclusively for the ancient race. However, the younger generation of other ancient families can still enter the Heavenly Tomb, with two slots available every twenty years.

Previously, Xiao Jue had planned to wait until he reached the Heavenly Tomb before breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm, and then continuously break through his cultivation level. However, now that he has broken through to the Dou Sheng realm ahead of schedule, he no longer needs to wait for the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony to open the Heavenly Tomb.

He will definitely have to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the ancient clan, but as for the Heavenly Tomb, if Gu Yuan is alright, then Xiao Jue can use his identity as a descendant of the Xiao clan to have Gu Yuan open the Heavenly Tomb and send him in to see Xiao Xuan.

Upon arriving at the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Jue realized the terrifying power of the Soul Emperor. Even if Lei Ying and Yan Jin broke through to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng and joined forces with the Ancient Clan, they would still be no match for the Soul Clan, not even if Zhu Kun were excluded.

Leaving aside the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame, the four eight-star Dou Sheng and the Gate of Death Silence alone were enough to overwhelm them, so an Emperor-level soul was a must.

Moreover, after dealing with the Gate of Deathly Silence, one must also face the Emperor-Slaying Array formed by the Soul Emperor's Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Array, as well as the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade. It's practically a big boss.

Although he desperately wanted to revive Xiao Xuan, Xiao Jue was powerless to do so. Perhaps he could do so when he went to the Great Thousand World in the future.

From this perspective, perhaps Xiao Jue also fulfilled the dying wish of the Yin-Yang Saint, with the inheritor helping him kill Xiao Xuan?
