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

"From now on, this land is in the hands of you young people!"

After a sigh, the middle-aged man slowly floated towards the dark creature bound by countless chains and engulfed in flames. Once inside the formation, he looked at the creature with eyes full of terror and sneered.

"You filthy and evil things, this world is not for you, so... disappear!"

After leaving those words, the middle-aged man emitted countless rays of light. Upon contact with these rays, the withered dark creature felt thick black energy rise from its body. However, this black energy dissipated as soon as it appeared, along with the dark creature and the middle-aged man's last remaining soul.

"Black Eyes, I've died before you again. But, counting this one... let's say it's a general-level demon, with this general-level demon included, I've killed more demons than you, right?"

Before completely dissipating, the middle-aged man looked up at the sky as if he were looking at a former friend, his final self-mockery slowly fading into the wind.

far away.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have such a... " Looking at Lin Dong in front of him, the old man with black eyes chuckled, his voice carrying a hint of surprise. But soon, as if sensing something, he suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

"Senior, what happened?" Lin Dong asked cautiously in response to the strange behavior of the old man with black eyes. After all, the direction the old man with black eyes was looking in was the direction from which Xiao Yan had created the huge explosion earlier!

"It's nothing, it's just that an old friend left before me," the black-eyed old man withdrew his gaze, shook his head with a faint smile, "It seems that it is indeed time for the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to see the light of day again."

As the old man with black eyes finished speaking, a huge black stone pillar suddenly developed fine cracks. Finally, with a "bang," it exploded, and thousands of black lights shot out, eventually intertwining in the sky and condensing into a black rune that was only the size of a palm, almost tangible.

As soon as the black rune appeared, it slowly descended towards Lin Dong. Upon seeing this, Lin Dong hurriedly stretched out his hands and steadily caught the black rune.

The black runes gave Lin Dong an exceptionally cold feeling. The black light flowing on them seemed to possess a kind of spirituality, making them look quite strange.

"Once you find the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, you can use it to break the seal. As for whether you can make the Devouring Ancestral Symbol recognize you as its master, that depends on your fate. Remember, the Ancestral Symbol is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, possessing the power to protect the world. With the acquisition of its power comes its responsibility. You will understand these things in the future..."

The old man with black eyes hovered in the sky, and as his voice slowly faded, his figure gradually disappeared.

"Thank you, senior!"

Lin Dong bowed respectfully to the black-eyed old man. He knew that the old man's image had existed for nearly ten thousand years, and now that his mission was complete, it had completely vanished into the world.

"But... who exactly took that Devouring Ancestral Symbol?"

Although he had obtained the key to unlock the seal of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Lin Dong still had a hint of helplessness on his face. After all, when he arrived here, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol had already been taken away. Although the Black-Eyed Elder said that with his seal, no one could refine it, Lin Dong was still a little flustered without getting his hands on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

Chapter 241 Destroying King Tian...

After the last remnant soul of the Medicine Hall's master perished together with the dark creature, a small beast covered in white fur appeared beside Xiao Yan.

A Dan Beast?

Upon seeing the small white beast that looked like a fox, Xiao Yan's pupils constricted, his heart filled with disbelief.

High-grade pills can change shape and possess intelligence, and those that transform into beast form must have undergone at least seven-colored pill lightning. In other words, if the fox in front of us, which is exuding the fragrance of pills, is indeed the pill beast mentioned on the Dou Qi Continent, it must have undergone at least eight-colored or even nine-colored eighth-grade pills.

"No, it's only equivalent to a pill that has undergone two-color pill lightning," although the old medicine master was also somewhat surprised, he quickly realized that he was more familiar with eighth-grade pills. "It's just that because the remnant soul of that Medicine Hall master has been in the pill for the past ten thousand years, it has also been improved."

Furthermore, according to that person, it's actually closer to a spiritual treasure than an ingestible elixir.

After hearing Yao Lao's explanation, Xiao Yan suddenly realized something. It made sense. If there were pills capable of refining eight- or even nine-colored pill lightning on the Tianxuan Continent tens of thousands of years ago, the "pills" he had come into contact with during this period would not have been the kind that crudely fused the medicinal properties of herbs.

Did he say anything when he left?

Just as Xiao Yan was considering how to communicate with the "pillar beast" in front of him, a soft voice came from the fox's mouth.

"...He only said that he died before Black Pupil again, and if that dark creature is considered a general-level demon, then the number of demons he killed exceeded that of Black Pupil." After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yan softly uttered the last words the white-robed middle-aged man left in this world.

"As expected," the little fox sighed in a human-like manner, shaking its head helplessly, "How did he introduce me to you?" Then, the little fox moved on from the matter of the middle-aged man in white and looked at Xiao Yan.

"He only said that you are his natal spirit treasure," Xiao Yan replied.

"A natal spirit treasure? What kind of natal spirit treasure fails to participate in its master's last battle?" Hearing this, the little fox flicked its fluffy tail in annoyance.

Xiao Yan gave a dry laugh.

"My true form is the King-Slaying Heavenly Pill, a natal spiritual treasure that old guy forged from the King-Slaying Heavenly Disc, an ancient divine artifact," the little fox muttered for a moment before introducing itself. "After gathering four ancestral symbols, the King-Slaying Heavenly Disc could completely annihilate the Demon King. However, that thing was lost after the ancient war ended, and I don't know where it is now. Perhaps it has already been destroyed by the Demon King..."

As he spoke, the little fox's voice lowered.

Xiao Yan, not understanding why the little fox was so depressed, stood helplessly to the side.

"However, although that thing was lost, its reputation has continued to spread," the little fox quickly recovered and continued, "Black Eyes... is also the sect master of the Great Wilderness Sect. The previous holder of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol created a brand new method of condensing seals based on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. The natal spirit talisman condensed based on this method has some spirituality similar to that of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

Moreover, according to the Black-Eyed Sect Master, there must be many such condensation seal techniques in the world. Even if these natal spirit talismans are far inferior to ancestral talismans, and even if they pose little threat to the alien demons before their holders become talisman masters, if there were a spiritual treasure that could summon all those talismans together, it might play a certain role in future wars..."

"Because of that sentence, the old man created me. However, before I could be actually tested, the demons came knocking. Therefore, in the final battle, the old man did not take me with him."

"So, if someone possesses a natal spirit talisman that imitates the eight ancestral talismans, perhaps they could use your power to completely annihilate the alien demons?" Xiao Yan's eyes brightened slightly. Although he wasn't familiar with the other ancestral talismans, nor did he know if there were any methods to condense imprints of those talismans, but...

However, on the Douluo Continent, after absorbing the spirit ring of a corresponding spirit beast, a similar natal spirit talisman will appear!

"It's just the old man's speculation, and it hasn't been actually tested yet," the little fox flicked its tail. "However, even without that effect, I can still be considered a top-tier pure elemental treasure, only one step away from becoming a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth..." Its dark little eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, as if waiting for Xiao Yan's next words.

“…My natal spirit talisman is the Fire Refining Talisman, which has some similarities to the Flame Ancestral Talisman,” Xiao Yan chuckled, looking at the little fox staring at him expectantly. “So, do you want to come with me?”

"Huh? Your natal talisman is a replica of the Flame Ancestral Talisman? What a coincidence," the little fox jumped onto Xiao Yan's shoulder. "Then, in order to drive out all the alien demons in the world, I'll reluctantly follow you."

Looking at the stubborn little fox on his shoulder, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? If it weren't for me, you would have destroyed all those medicinal herbs in the Medicine Hall that have been preserved for nearly ten thousand years!" Hearing Xiao Yan's laughter, the little fox immediately became displeased. "Do you still want all the medicinal herbs in the Medicine Hall that have been preserved for ten thousand years?"

"Yes, of course I want it!" Xiao Yan said with a helpless smile.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Xiao Yan begged for mercy, the little fox reluctantly let him go.

The Creation Martial Stele is the most magical object within the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele. Many powerful individuals and forces come to the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele specifically for it.

It is the place where the ancient sect, the Great Wilderness Sect, bestowed martial arts upon its disciples. Anyone who meditates and cultivates in front of the Creation Martial Stele may obtain a martial art. The level of this martial art varies, largely depending on the individual's martial arts talent.

Before the opening of the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, many exceptionally talented individuals obtained Creation-level martial arts from the Creation Martial Stele.

However, there are only ten seats in front of the Creation Martial Stele, which means that there are only ten places to meditate and cultivate in front of the Creation Martial Stele, and the competition for these ten seats will likely be an epic battle.

When Xiao Yan finished refining the King-Slaying Heavenly Pill and arrived at the plaza where the Creation Martial Stele was located, there were already many forces and people gathered around the Creation Martial Stele. Among them, Xiao Yan immediately spotted the four major clans at the very front.

The four major clans were spaced apart, but each occupied the best positions in the arena. As the four most powerful forces in the Great Yan Dynasty, they used their privileges without any hesitation.

Lin Dong sat quietly cross-legged at the very front of the Lin clan.

After flashing to Lin Dong's side, Xiao Yan looked at the huge, wordless stone tablet in front of him and asked, "Has the Creation Martial Tablet not been activated yet?"

"There's still some time," Lin Dong nodded, then glanced at Xiao Yan, who seemed to be in a good mood. "Have you gotten what you wanted?"

"There were also quite a few unexpected gains," Xiao Yan said with a smirk, "and I also learned the name of something like the Ghost General..."

"A ghost general?" Lin Dong's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at the Lin clan members behind him, then casually waved his hand, and an invisible soundproof barrier was erected. "Was the commotion earlier caused when you fought that thing?"

“Yes, a demon that has been sealed for about ten thousand years,” Xiao Yan nodded, “It took a lot of effort to reach the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm.”

Otherworldly demons?

Achievements in the Death Mysterious Realm?

Lin Dong, who had already heard the words "Otherworldly Demon" from Xiao Diao's mouth, didn't react much, but...

"Then, has the thing sealed beneath the Great Desolate Ancient Stele been resolved by Ni?" Lin Dong asked softly. After all, this concerned the Great Yan Dynasty... and for Lin Dong, it could be said to concern the lives of everyone in the Lin family of Yan City.

"...No, that Death Profound Realm expert was just a survivor from ten thousand years ago," Xiao Yan shook his head after a moment of silence. "Back then, the Great Wilderness Sect... that is, the sect within the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, had a Reincarnation Realm expert wielding the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and three Reincarnation Realm experts who wanted to destroy such a sect..."

Perhaps that demonic entity dispatched one or even several demonic entities that had already survived the cycle of reincarnation.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's second half of his sentence, Lin Dong's aura wavered for a moment. If Xiao Yan hadn't helped prevent Lin Dong's aura from leaking out, the forces around the Creation Martial Stele would probably have been completely wiped out.

"One, or even several, otherworldly demons who have survived the cycle of reincarnation?" After calming down, Lin Dong asked in a hoarse voice.

"Only with such strength could those alien demons kill a Reincarnation Realm expert who possesses the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, right?" Xiao Yan asked rhetorically.

“Yes…” Lin Dong remained silent.

'Is there a way to completely annihilate that level of alien demons?' Lin Dong asked softly in his heart.

'A King-level Otherworldly Demon…' Little Marten frowned. He truly hadn't expected such a surprise from a low-level dynasty in the Eastern Xuan Region. 'Even if it was sealed, it would still require the power of an Ancestral Symbol to annihilate it. By the way, now that Xiao Yan knows the reason for this sect's destruction, you might as well ask him if he's found out anything about the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!'

The little sable, who was already troubled because Lin Dong had not found the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted.

"Xiao Yan, have you found out anything about the Devouring Ancestral Symbol?" After a moment's hesitation, Lin Dong asked.

"The Devouring Ancestral Symbol? I've only heard that its holder is the sect leader of the Great Wilderness Sect, whose real name is unknown. However, the two I met both called him Black Pupil, apparently because his eyes are black?"

Xiao Yan replied, then, as if struck by a thought, said, "Lin Dong, your goal is the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, but you haven't found it inside this Great Desolate Ancient Stele?!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's surprised expression, Lin Dong hesitated briefly before nodding.

"The Devouring Ancestral Symbol is no longer with the Great Wilderness Sect. It was taken away when the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele was opened several times before," the little fox's voice suddenly rang out just as Xiao Yan was also frowning. "That's what the old man said. Moreover, your friend seems to have a black pupil talisman on him. After leaving the Great Wilderness Sect, you can use the guidance on the talisman to find the Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

Why didn't you say so earlier?

"You didn't ask me, and who knew your friend's seal-forming method was similar to the one created by Black Pupil—both are ancestral symbols that are copied?" the little fox muttered. "Alright, quickly explain things to your friend, don't let this cause a rift!"

After uttering its last words, the little fox decisively jumped into Xiao Yan's Niwan Palace, revealing its true form as a pill, seemingly unwilling to continue speaking.

After shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Dong again and told him everything the little fox had said earlier, and at the same time—

"Speaking of which, which spirit beasts' spirit rings did you choose back in Douluo Continent?" Xiao Yan asked, seeing Lin Dong breathe a sigh of relief. "I found a spiritual treasure in the Medicine Hall, which is said to be a replica of the ancient divine artifact, the King-Slaying Heavenly Disc. To unleash its full potential, it requires four natal spirit talismans that share the same origin as the Ancestral Symbol..."

Thus, before the Creation Martial Stele was activated, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong exchanged information. One learned the general whereabouts of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, while the other learned which soul beasts could easily obtain the power of the same origin from the Ancestral Symbol.

As more and more people gathered in the square, a ray of sunlight shone down from the sky, illuminating the enormous Creation Martial Stele below.

Buzz!

The light shone down like a pillar, connecting the Creation Martial Stele to the sky. Then, melodious sounds, like the gentle chimes of an ancient bell, emanated from the Creation Martial Stele, resonating throughout the world and bringing a sense of peace and tranquility. It was as if one's spirit had been cleansed, leaving one feeling exceptionally serene.

Upon seeing the commotion surrounding the Creation Martial Stele, the plaza immediately erupted in excitement, with countless gazes burning with fervor and greed as they stared intently at the Creation Martial Stele, which radiated a sacred glow.

Buzz!

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, ten beams of light suddenly shot out from the Creation Martial Stele, then landed on the stone platform in front of it, condensing into the shape of an ancient futon. A faint fragrance emanated from it, bringing peace to the hearts of those who smelled it.

After the ten prayer cushions appeared, the originally noisy square suddenly quieted down. Even though they were extremely envious of those ten prayer cushions, no one dared to make any rash moves before the major powers at the front set off.

This silence didn't last long. After exchanging information, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong slowly got up and walked leisurely towards the stone platform. Finally, they sat down cross-legged on the first and second futons, respectively.

Looking at the two figures on the prayer mat, many powerful figures had slight changes in expression, but in the end, no one dared to rashly step forward. After all, it was only natural for two experts at the Great Perfection of Creation to occupy these two positions, even though the Lin Clan was not behind them.

With Xiao Yan and Lin Dong seated, only eight of the ten seats remained. Without much hesitation, the Wang family, the Qin family, and the Huangpu family took three more seats.

Not long after the four major clans took their seats, the three top forces of the Great Wilderness County—the Great Demon Sect, the Yin Puppet Sect, and the Martial Alliance—also took their seats without hesitation, each having Mu Qianqian, Teng Lei, and Wu Ci rush onto the prayer mats.

In just a few minutes, only two seats remained out of the ten available!

"The Qing Dynasty? A mid-level dynasty or a low-level dynasty?"
