There are over a billion transmigrators in Battle Through the Heavens.

"Ding, the curse has been successful. The Crimson Flame Lizard Saint will explode and die in a quarter of an hour."

After the curse was successful, a countdown began on the system page.

"Elder Hao, there's no misunderstanding."

"As soon as I came out of the pass, these lizardmen wanted to kill me."

"Killing him is already a light punishment."

“If this were to be investigated, I wouldn’t be too much to kill his entire clan.”

Xiao Yan had already identified Elder Hao's identity the moment he appeared.

This is also a powerful warrior at the level of a three-star Dou Sheng.

However, it looks a little soft.

He seemed somewhat subservient to the lizardmen.

"Xiao Yan, shut up!"

"Our Canaan Academy and the Lizardmen have a long-standing agreement to cooperate for mutual benefit, live in harmony, and build a better world together."

"How could you be so ruthless towards people from friendly nations?"

It would have been better if Xiao Yan hadn't spoken, but as soon as he did, Elder Hao glared at him and scolded him.

He also knew that Xiao Yan had very strong connections within the inner courtyard.

Jiang Lei, who is second on the Strong List, and Mo Wuyai, who is third on the Strong List, both seem to want to protect him.

But the current situation is completely different from before.

Even the top five on the power rankings couldn't bear the responsibility of going to war with the lizardmen.

"Oh."

Xiao Yan gave an "oh" and silently added Elder Hao's name to the curse list as well.

Once the system reaches level six, it can curse six people simultaneously.

Each curse has a ten-day cooldown period.

What kind of attitude is this?

"Don't think that just because you have someone on the power rankings protecting you, you can act recklessly and without restraint..."

Elder Hao became even angrier when he saw that Xiao Yan showed no remorse whatsoever.

"I'm so sorry, Elder Hao, I have some things to take care of, so I won't listen to your lecture any longer."

Xiao Yan patted the dust off his clothes, then turned and walked outside.

The instant he turned around, an enormous phantom appeared in the air.

This phantom is an ability it gained after devouring Mo Cheng's strongest guardian spirit.

However, Xiao Yan had never used it before.

Now, as the system level increases, the power of the guardian spirits has become extremely terrifying.

As soon as the phantom appeared, the entire Heavenly Flame Refining Tower began to shake.

With a deafening roar, Elder Hao, the Crimson Flame Lizard Saint, and everyone around them showed expressions of utter terror.

"Xiao Yan, what have you done?"

Looking at the towering guardian spirit, radiating boundless pressure.

Elder Hao roared at Xiao Yan in terror.

"This has nothing to do with me."

"I have things to take care of, so I won't play with you guys anymore."

"By the way, if everyone doesn't have anything important to do, you can leave for a bit!"

"This thing looks like some kind of lizardman technique to me. If it stays here, it's easy to get killed."

Xiao Yan shrugged, turned to the students watching and said something before leaving the sixth floor.

He was utterly disgusted by that Elder Hao.

He didn't want to wait even a quarter of an hour.

They summoned their guardian spirits and killed the two of them.

"Run!"

As Xiao Yan left, someone suddenly shouted, and everyone ran outside.

"what--"

"what--"

At the same time, two screams came from behind them.

Those two screams made them run even faster; many of them wished their parents had given them two more legs.

……

Outside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"I remember that this guardian spirit, besides becoming stronger as the system level changes, can also devour souls to become stronger, right?"

Xiao Yan stared at the cursed interface, at the two names that had turned dark, and muttered to himself.

"Ding! Random treasure chest successfully refreshed!"

"Treasure chest location: Hundred Flowers Alliance, Han Yue's boudoir."

"Please find and open the treasure chest within 24 hours."

"The treasure chest will automatically disappear after it expires."

While Xiao Yan was thinking about the guardian spirit, the system suddenly refreshed a treasure chest, and it even appeared in Han Yue's boudoir.

"As expected of the system that has been with me from the very beginning, it really understands me."

Xiao Yan smiled and prepared to go to the Hundred Flowers Alliance to open a treasure chest.

"Xiao Yan!"

Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Jiang Lei?"

Looking back, Xiao Yan discovered that the person who had come was Jiang Lei, who had once helped him.

"You rascal, you've been in seclusion for so long, and the first thing you do when you come out is cause trouble!"

Jiang Lei stepped forward and said with a helpless expression.

"What do you mean by that, Senior Jiang Lei?"

"I killed the lizardmen purely in self-defense."

"As for what happened afterward, it has nothing to do with me."

"I don't know what that phantom is."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and, while speaking, verified Jiang Lei's identity information.

Name: Jiang Lei (Time Traveler).

Race: Human.

Gender: Male.

Cultivation level: Nine-star Dou Sheng! (Actual combat strength will be even greater.)

Innate Bloodlines: Flame God Bloodline, Great Sun Holy Body, Chaos God Body, Heart of Darkness, True Dragon God Body...

Cheat Code: Invincible System LV6.1. (Each time you are defeated, you will revive on the spot and gain the strength or treasure to defeat your opponent.)

……

"An invincible system?"

Upon seeing Jiang Lei's cheat system, Xiao Yan's lips twitched.

This system is really a bit shady.

"Xiao Yan, you may not know this, but the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is actually jointly managed by the Inner Academy and the Lizardmen."

"One side occupies half of the area, but due to the high-level training rooms and the low-to-medium-level training rooms, it is impossible to divide them evenly among the areas of each side."

"Therefore, every month, the two sides will exchange cultivation areas, and you have been in seclusion in one cultivation room for so long, which has infringed on the interests of the lizardmen."

"That's why the lizardmen started causing you trouble as soon as you came out."

"Now that you have killed him, the war between the Inner Court and the Lizardmen is very likely to break out again."

Jiang Lei organized his thoughts and explained the rules of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to Xiao Yan.

"so what?"

"Could it be that we're afraid of those lizardmen?"

Xiao Yan learned some information about the lizardmen from the Ghost-Faced Judge's memories; there were indeed strong individuals among the lizardmen.

However, the strongest ones on the surface are only at the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng, and their numbers are not many.

Didn't I tell you?

"The inner court is very complex; the top five on the strength list all possess the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng."

"But do you know why we're staying here?"

Jiang Lei shook his head and said.

Hearing his words, Xiao Yan didn't bother to guess and simply listened to Jiang Lei's thoughts.

If it weren't for the lizardmen controlling the passage to the ancient emperor's cave, the inner courtyard wouldn't be so constrained.

Unfortunately, without the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, it was impossible to enter.

Hearing Jiang Lei's thoughts, Xiao Yan vaguely understood.
