Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

It should be noted that, as Hun Sha and the others had previously stated, although Xiao Yang could contend with an eight-star Dou Sheng, his strength mainly lay in his powerful physical body.

Now, given the simultaneous annihilation of the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan, Xiao Yang is very likely to possess the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng!

The Soul Emperor speculated that Xiao Yang had likely absorbed the ninth-grade golden pill he had refined himself in the Heavenly Tomb, which was why he possessed such strength!

This made the Soul Emperor somewhat regretful.

I should have dealt with Xiao Yang sooner.

Chapter 597 Drug Reactions

The Soul Emperor considered himself a genius.

However, his growth rate was far slower than Xiao Yang's.

Even Xiao Xuan was the same.

You should know that Xiao Xuan was arguably the fastest cultivator of their era!

However, even for him, it took several hundred years to reach the peak of the Dou Sheng realm.

However, Xiao Yang only took a few years to reach the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng!

The Soul Emperor had no idea how Xiao Yang had done it.

Even with the help of elixirs, it shouldn't be this fast.

After a long silence, he slowly began to speak.

"Gather as much intelligence as possible about Xiao Yang, especially about him in the Northwest Continent."

Originally, I thought Xiao Xuan was the Soul Emperor who posed a great threat, but now I feel that Xiao Yang seems even more terrifying.

Then, he continued looking at the Soul Clan elders and spoke.

"How are the Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Arrays being set up on the other continents?"

Originally, the Soul Clan only set up the Soul Devouring and Life-Severing Array in the Central Plains.

However, after learning about Xiao Xuan's situation, the Soul Emperor ordered the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan to set up the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array on other continents as well.

The resurrected undead, whose soul had been resurrected, spoke directly.

"Because of the Xiao family, I dare not make large-scale arrangements for the Northwest Continent."

"More than 50% of the southern, eastern, northeastern, and far northern regions have already been covered."

"Basically, the major cities with large populations have already completed the deployment."

At this point, Hun Shengtian's eyes burned with desire.

The same was true for the three people, Hun Yuantian, and the others beside him.

Three of the four were mid-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and one was early-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

All four were killed by Xiao Xuan a thousand years ago and were resurrected by the Soul Clan using a secret technique.

All four of them possess the Gate of Death, and when they work together, they can form the Death Realm Array, which is extremely powerful.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the people of Zhongzhou have the strongest average strength.

Because the concentration of celestial and terrestrial energy is highest in Zhongzhou.

The Soul-Devouring Array can absorb the cultivation and life force of the beings within the array.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more energy and life force one can absorb.

The energy absorbed by the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array in Zhongzhou was what the Soul Emperor intended to keep for himself.

He wanted to try to break through to the pseudo-emperor level through this.

That is, it's at the level where it only needs source energy to break through.

Alternatively, these energies can be used directly to unleash the Emperor-Slaying Array and the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade.

He planned to have the energy absorbed by the Soul Devouring Array on other continents be used by the four elders of the Soul Clan.

With the Xiao family and the ancient clans joining forces, their top combat strength has slightly surpassed that of the Soul Clan.

We don't need to consider the medicine clan.

The Soul Emperor feared that Xiao Yang might refine another Rank 9 Golden Pill at that time.

Therefore, he felt the need to strengthen the power of the other strong members of the Soul Clan.

As for why the Void Devouring Flame didn't use that energy, it's because the Soul Emperor never fully trusted the Void Devouring Flame.

At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could use the life force absorbed by the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array to truly revive the four elders.

Although the four elders have been resurrected, they are somewhat like the living dead and have many drawbacks.

The four of them also knew about the Soul Emperor's plan, which is why their eyes were so fervent.

Even though they've been resurrected, who wouldn't want to become better?

Moreover, the energy absorbed by those Soul Devouring Life-Severing Arrays could most likely push their cultivation to the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng.

In addition to their immense vitality, if they were to be successfully resurrected, they might even be able to aspire to the status of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor).

Soon, the Soul Emperor issued several more orders.

Void Devouring Flame simply watched quietly from the sidelines.

He didn't say a word the whole time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

Medicine Clan, Council Hall.

The medicine pills and the elders of the medicine clan are all gathered here at this moment.

Although their expressions were somewhat solemn, their posture was relatively relaxed, and there was a hint of relief in their eyes.

Yao Wanhuo looked at the medicine pills beside him and said.

"Fortunately, the clan chief made the right choice, otherwise my medicine clan would have been wiped out as well."

The other elders also showed a hint of lingering fear.

"Yes, it's fortunate that the clan leader didn't agree to the Soul Clan's plan of pledge of allegiance back then."

"The Xiao family is still too terrifying!"

"I wonder how Xiao Yang cultivated. He has such terrifying strength and alchemy skills at such a young age."

When these elders learned that Yao Dan had actually sent Yao Wangui to his death, they were all vehemently opposed.

The arrogance of the Medicine Clan is well-known among the ancient imperial clans.

Because most members of the Medicine Clan are not only descendants of ancient imperial clans and possess the bloodline of the Dou Di, but are also alchemists.

Moreover, the Medicine Clan's alchemy skills are arguably the best in the Dou Qi Continent!

Of course, this was before Xiao Yang appeared.

That is why the people of the Medicine Clan are so proud.

But now they also know that if their strength is insufficient, no matter how good their alchemy skills are, it's useless!

They had no right to be arrogant in front of the Xiao family.

In fact, before the news of the extermination of the Yan Clan and Lei Clan spread, the main reason why Yao Wangui and Yao Dan agreed to this was because Xiao Yang's strength and alchemy skills were superior to those of the Yao Clan.

The two aspects that the Medicine Clan was most proud of were completely crushed by Xiao Yang.

That's why Yaodan made this decision.

After glancing at the surrounding elders of the Medicine Clan, Yao Dan gave the order.

"Next, we need to complete the tasks assigned by the Xiao family as soon as possible."

"At the same time, Elder Yao Wangui's descendants are being raised by the family with all their might."

"Those whose cultivation was not abolished will be nurtured by the family with all their might."

"The first batch of medicinal herbs from the Xiao family has arrived. Elders, please remember to arrange for your clansmen to refine the medicine."

After the Medicine Clan submitted to the Xiao Family, Xiao Yang directly entrusted them with the task of refining some pills below the ninth grade.

Although he can refine large quantities at once, it's certainly not as fast as the entire Medicine Clan can.

Even if he had a clone, he wouldn't be able to handle it all.

Instead of wasting time on this, I'd rather refine a ninth-grade elixir.

However, Xiao Yang did not completely exploit the Medicine Clan.

He gave the medicine clan a large quantity of medicinal herbs.

Anyway, for him, the least valuable things are medicinal herbs and magic cores.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged part of it!"

Upon hearing Yao Dan's words, the elders of the Yao Clan not only did not feel humiliated, but were also somewhat excited.

Because Xiao Yang gave too much!

There are even a large quantity of top-grade medicinal herbs that haven't been seen for thousands of years!

For an alchemist, being able to use these medicinal herbs to refine pills is a pleasure in itself.

……

Inside the Tower of Strange Fire in the Yang Realm.

Xiao Yang was still refining the Ascension Pill with Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa's true forms.

At this moment, his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm.

However, as time went on, Xiao Yang could feel the medicinal power in his body decreasing.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the medicinal power of the Ascension Pill was completely exhausted.
