Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

"really……"

In the Jia Ma Empire, the Yunlan Sect holds a status equivalent to a national guardian sect. Therefore, the names of Yunlan Sect experts can be found in most cities of the Jia Ma Empire. The current sect leader is Yun Yun, a low-star Dou Huang, and there is also a Dou Wang named Yun Leng. Information about the previous sect leader is unknown, but it is certain that the previous sect leader was also a wind-attribute Dou Huang.

The person before them was clearly a high-level Dark Attribute Dou Huang, whose attributes and level were unlike anything the Yunlan Sect could recruit.

In fact, if it weren't for his sudden action that caught Xiao Yan's attention, Xiao Yan, before his breakthrough, would have been completely unaware that there was such a Dou Huang in Wutan City.

"Leave this city," Xiao Yan sighed softly. "I don't want anyone in this city who could threaten me when I break through to the Spirit Realm!"

"...Senior, are you really comfortable with me leaving directly?"

As a mere tool to buy time and facilitate the clan's Dou Sheng to traverse the infinite distance and directly reach Xiao Xun'er, Ling Ying had no intention of leaving Wutan City. After hesitating for a moment, she asked this question. If the person in front of her refused, then Ling Ying would have no choice but to play her true role.

"...Stay in the house you were living in before, and do not leave."

Xiao Yan didn't want a high-level Dou Huang in Wutan City when he broke through to the Spirit Realm, but after he said that, Xiao Yan was still worried and let him leave.

In the end, Xiao Yan chose to compromise.

"I will stay put until you break through, Senior." Ling Ying breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving these last words, to show that he was no threat, he even walked into the room where he had been before, under Xiao Yan's gaze.

Chapter 135 Actors

Do you know who he is?

After watching Ling Ying return to his residence, Xiao Yan also went back to his room. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Yao Lao's words.

"Teacher, do you know?"

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized that he had only discovered the person's existence after breaking through to the Spirit Realm, and that Yao Lao's soul power was definitely not just at the Spirit Realm level; even when he had just awakened, he still possessed soul power at the Spirit Realm level...

"Was that Dou Huang already in Wutan City when you first woke up, Master?" Xiao Yan, in his soul form, frowned. "He knew the date of your awakening so early... Was he your enemy?"

Without realizing it, Xiao Yan began to think about whether he should deal with that high-level Dou Huang after his soul realm had completely stabilized.

"You're quick on the uptake!" Old Yao chuckled and scolded. "However, that person has absolutely nothing to do with me, so don't make wild guesses!"

"Then... why didn't you tell me about his existence, teacher?" Xiao Yan was completely confused. "Although he is a high-level Dou Huang and has excellent concealment techniques, it's impossible for him to have kept it from you, teacher, right?"

"...Before I tell you his identity, I need to ask one more question," a complex expression flashed across the old man's face, "Do you have any feelings for that girl named Xiao Xun'er?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback by Yao Lao's sudden question. He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he opened his mouth halfway and then silently closed it. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you suddenly ask such a question, teacher? Xun'er is my sister. What feelings could I possibly have for her?" Xiao Yan said the last sentence with a hint of guilt.

"Your sister? You know perfectly well that you have no blood relation with her whatsoever. That girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, yet she has already won the hearts of the younger generation of the Xiao family. What will happen when she grows up?"

At this point, Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and smiled faintly, "If one day in the future, she is held in the arms of another man, how would you feel?"

Xiao Yan's wry smile froze slightly, his brows furrowed, and he let out a soft breath, saying in a low voice, "It seems... a little hard to accept."

"Hehe, since you find it hard to accept, then in your heart, you don't just see her as a younger sister..." the old apothecary said with a half-smile.

For a moment, Xiao Yan was speechless. Finally, he helplessly spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, is what you're saying related to that Dou Huang's identity?"

"These are just to help you recognize your own feelings," Yao Lao shook his head helplessly at Xiao Yan's behavior of backing down halfway through his sentence. "Since you admit that you have feelings of love for her, the rest will be simple."

"That Dou Huang should be a servant from your sister's family," Yao Lao said calmly.

"Servant..." The words spoken by Yao Lao in a calm tone were like a thunderbolt to Xiao Yan.

At fifteen, Xiao Yan, who possessed a Spirit Realm Soul, was very confident in himself. He believed he would definitely become a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng in the future. Of course, he certainly wouldn't become a Dou Sheng before the age of twenty-five, as Dan had said...

In short, Xiao Yan doesn't actually care much about becoming a Dou Huang right now.

Even so, the combination of the seemingly disparate terms "Battle Emperor" and "servant" still greatly shocked Xiao Yan.

"Does Xun'er's family have any Dou Sheng members?" Xiao Yan asked, trying to sound casual as he exhaled a breath of turbid air. However, his unconsciously clenched fists betrayed his inner turmoil.

“Perhaps you should ask… how many Dou Sheng are there,” Yao Lao sighed softly. “Although I don’t know why her family has any connection with your small family, you should understand that emotions cannot bridge the gap between identities.”

"The Dou Qi Continent is a world where strength reigns supreme. Only with strength can you overcome all gaps," Yao Lao said softly. "Otherwise, even if you are a genius who amazes the world, even if you are the one chosen by the Dou Di inheritance as Elder Dan said... to those high and mighty people, you are nothing more than a handful of dust."

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, "Teacher, you deliberately brought up that Dou Huang just now, didn't you? Your purpose was to lure me into saying all that, right?"

The old doctor smiled but said nothing.

"You're really going too far. What if I got hurt?" Xiao Yan's soul drifted towards his body, and when it reached him, it had turned into a palm-sized ball of light. Then it lightly landed on his forehead and disappeared in a flash.

"So, you're feeling quite shaken now?" Yao Lao asked with a smile, looking at Xiao Yan, whose body trembled slightly before he slowly opened his eyes.

“A little, but not much,” Xiao Yan stood up and stretched after his soul returned to his body. “Since I was chosen by the inheritance of the Qiankun Empress, it means that in the past tens of millions of years, no one’s talent can compare with mine.”

"In that case, what I need to do is fully realize my potential!"

Looking at the spirited Xiao Yan, Yao Lao thought for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal the fact that Xiao Yan's talent was not even top-notch in the Northwest Continent.

'However, the dragon and phoenix horns... after absorbing this, Xiao Yanzi's talent should have improved significantly, right?'

Looking at Xiao Yan, who had completed the transformation of his soul from the mortal realm to the spiritual realm overnight, Yao Lao narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Eighteen months later, in the Monster Mountain Range.

The tranquility of the Monster Mountain Range was shattered by a sudden chase—

Leading the fleeing figure was a slender man draped in a black robe. The deep purple battle aura armor beneath the robe, occasionally billowing in the wind, indicated that he was a Grand Battle Master. The occasional drops of blood proved that he had suffered considerable injuries in the chase.

Behind the figure was a large group of serpentine monsters. The leader was about three meters long, with a deep black body and a pair of exposed crimson fangs. From a distance, its tail looked as sharp as a blade, cutting trees and rocks into pieces wherever it went.

The Spoon Serpent is a relatively rare fourth-tier wood-type magical beast in the Monster Mountain Range. However, compared to its almost non-existent wood-type nature, its venom is infamous throughout the entire Gama Empire.

After all, even the venom of a newly hatched Sparrow Snake can kill a Fighter in seconds. There are even legends that the venom of an adult Sparrow Snake can kill a Fighting Emperor. You should know that the adult Sparrow Snake is just an ordinary type of fourth-order magical beast!

However, the Spoon Serpent generally only lives in the inner circle of the Monster Mountain Range, under the leadership of a powerful snake-like monster in the inner circle. There is basically no possibility of it leaving the inner circle. It is unknown what hateful thing the person who fled ahead did to be chased all the way by this powerful monster and a bunch of minions.

Although it was unclear what the figure had done, his luck was undeniable. Despite being focused on fleeing, none of the corrosive venom sprayed from the various snakes behind him hit him. Several times, the spitting snakes saw the venom about to hit his head, but he inexplicably shook his head and just happened to dodge the deadly venom.

As time went on, the spiky snakes became increasingly agitated. It wasn't that they had fallen behind the human; on the contrary, they were now less than twenty meters away from him. If they had just a few more minutes, they could easily trap him.

Unfortunately, this suicidal human had already run to the central region of the Monster Mountain Range, and they were currently in the territory of the sixth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King!

What's even more deadly is that the direction this clueless human was running headlong was exactly the direction of the lair of the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

The only reason the Spoon Snake can't speak is that it would definitely persuade the human in front to run in a different direction and not go to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair to get killed. If it has to get killed, wouldn't it be better to give it a head start? It would be perfect for the human to complete its mission.

But all of this was just wishful thinking; the scythe had even spotted the huge cave outside the dense forest ahead!

The only thing that puzzled the Spoon Serpent was that none of the magical beast guards who should have been protecting the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave—those magical beast guards of similar status—were to be seen! Not to mention the fourth and fifth-tier magical beasts that had always followed the Amethyst Winged Lion King, even the few third-tier magical beasts that had always stayed near the cave and whose recent task was simply to guard the little lion king were nowhere to be seen!

'Were they all wiped out by humans?'

The thought flashed through the mind of the Spoon Serpent. Watching the humans rush into the cave, it steeled itself and prepared to follow them into the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave.

"Oh!"

Along with the Spoon Snake, all the snake-like magical beasts were "blocked" outside the cave by a purple light.

After shaking its head, which was still dizzy from the impact, the Spoon Snake led its minions back several meters, warily watching the cave ahead.

Under the watchful eye of the Spoon Serpent, a seven- or eight-meter-long magical beast slowly emerged. Its body was covered with a layer of purple crystals, and the moment it stepped out of the cave, it shone brightly and was quite dazzling under the sunlight.

The ferocious lion's head, adorned with fiery red spiral horns, scanned the area before focusing its attention on the Rice Spoon Serpent. "What, is the Leaf Emperor Serpent preparing to wage war against me?"

"Hiss, hiss..."

The Spoon Serpent dared not take on the burden of waging war against the overlords of other monster mountains, and quickly offered an explanation.

"Oh? You mean that the human who just came in injured the Leaf Emperor Serpent's offspring?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was somewhat surprised upon hearing the Spoon Serpent's explanation. "That human was at most a third-tier being. You mean that a third-tier human ventured deep into the Monster Mountain Range, entered the sixth-tier Leaf Emperor Serpent's lair, and then injured its offspring?"

"Do you think I'm easy to fool?!"

The purple wings on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped suddenly, and clusters of pale purple flames swept out, surrounding the Spoon Snake and its minions in just a few seconds.

"Hiss, hiss..."

The flames around it made the Spoon Snake feel extremely uncomfortable, but it was no match for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, so it could only smile apologetically and explain.

"Let him out, then confront him face to face?" A mocking glint appeared on the ferocious lion head of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "To be able to survive after someone has infiltrated your lair... do you think everyone is Ye Huang She?"

As it spoke, the Amethyst Winged Lion King raised its thick claws, which were also covered in purple crystals, and bright red blood flowed over the purple crystals.

"Get out of here! Go back and tell your leader that I crushed the human who injured its offspring!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King sneered. "If you ever come to my territory again... it means your leader is ready to wage war against me, understand?"

"Hiss, hiss!" After uttering a short sentence, the Spoon Snake, along with its minions, struggled to swim out of the flames of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Nonsense!"

Standing at the cave entrance, watching the spiky snake lead a group of venomous snakes away, the Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly. Then, a huge lion's roar came from the mouth of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Before long, five or six lion-like magical beasts gathered in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Keep an eye on the door!"

After giving orders to the several third-tier magical beasts, the Amethyst Winged Lion King turned around and slowly walked back to its lair.

"Oh, thank you so much this time!"

Upon entering his residence, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was greeted with a somewhat lazy greeting.

"You seem quite relaxed," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said, glancing at Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the center of the cave, which was almost entirely filled with amethyst stones, casually teasing a smaller version of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Then, the Amethyst Winged Lion King lay down at the cave entrance. "Tell me, how did a sixth-tier magical beast manage to injure you so badly?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's gaze fell on Xiao Yan's chest, where there was a through wound almost touching his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yan was still in the mood to tease his son, the Amethyst Winged Lion King would have thought that Xiao Yan was about to die.

"Hiss, how should I put it..." Xiao Yan scratched the little purple crystal winged lion king's neck with his right hand, "Didn't expect this Leaf Emperor Serpent to be so ruthless, did you..."

Xiao Yan grimaced, "I only drew a few vials of blood from its son, and it's already fighting like a madman..."

The thought of the Leaf Emperor Serpent lying down almost motionless after leaving a wound on his chest sent chills down Xiao Yan's spine. If it weren't for Yao Lao temporarily sealing his soul power, leaving him with only the Dou Qi at the level of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master, he would have been ready to directly extract the Leaf Emperor Serpent's demonic core.

"How many vials of blood did you draw from its son?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked Xiao Yan up and down. "Without using soul power?"

About half a year ago, this rude human recklessly rushed into his lair and, before he could react, used his soul power to control him and beat him up. If he hadn't realized that even without the human's sneak attack, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him, the Amethyst Winged Lion King would have definitely fought him to the death!

However, it was during this year that the Amethyst Winged Lion King learned that this human was a sixth-grade alchemist... Of course, he claimed to be a seventh-grade, but whenever the Amethyst Winged Lion King mentioned seventh-grade pills, this human would change the subject...

In short, because this human was a sixth-grade alchemist, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King was no match for him using soul power, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Xiao Yan reached a consensus within that year.

The lair of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was completely open to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan could freely harass the magical beasts in other areas of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but he was not allowed to attack the magical beasts in the territory of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Also, we learned that although Xiao Yan's soul power is very strong, his Dou Qi cultivation is a bit weak, at the level of a seven-star Great Dou Master, which means he can only fight his son.

"Nonsense, apart from that one time I hit you, I've basically never used my soul power, okay?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance.

As part of his training during the power conversion period, his goal is to defeat magical beasts of the same level without using his soul power. Currently, this training is progressing very well. At least, he can defeat a small number of fourth-level magical beasts without taking any damage by using only battle qi and regular battle techniques.

Using fusion techniques and arcane arts, they are already able to fight against fifth-tier magical beasts, and even defeat some fifth-tier magical beasts that are weak to fire!

"How dare you say that..."
