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

Of course, for Xiao Yan, even the Nirvana Demonic Flame, which other Nirvana Realm cultivators avoided like the plague, was nothing more than a delicious dessert.

The Nirvana energy in the world, caused by the Nirvana Tribulation, quickly condensed into streaks of crimson Nirvana Flame, which were aimed at Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the cultivation platform above the Dan River undergoing his tribulation.

Streams of crimson Nirvana Flame roared down, crashing down on Xiao Yan's body like fiery meteors streaking across the sky.

Bang bang bang!

Deep explosions continued to erupt on Xiao Yan's body, and crimson flames spread across his surface. Within a few breaths, Xiao Yan's body was covered with Nirvana Flame, but that was all. In the following time, the Nirvana Flame remained attached to Xiao Yan's body, unable to escape or corrode him.

Soon, after the Nirvana Demon Flame born in his body was completely devoured by the Dragon-Phoenix Demon Flame controlled by Xiao Yan, the Nirvana Flame attached to the surface of his body also obediently entered Xiao Yan's body and became another batch of snacks.

In less than two minutes, the third Nirvana Tribulation, which ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivators feared like a tiger and which caused headaches for most geniuses, ended quietly. Apart from the Nirvana Fire that roared down at the beginning, it made no other sound.

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes after the Dragon-Phoenix Demon Flame devoured the Nirvana Flame.

"Aren't you going to continue?" Yao Lao asked after Xiao Yan opened his eyes.

Including the Nirvana Qi he absorbed when creating the Dragon-Phoenix Demon Flame, Xiao Yan had absorbed enough Nirvana Qi to have cultivated to the peak of the Nirvana Realm for hundreds or even thousands of people. After absorbing so much Nirvana Qi, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to stop at the Three Yuan Nirvana Realm.

“Even a genius like Liu Bai, who has a super dynasty behind him, is only at the Third Nirvana Realm,” Xiao Yan rubbed his wrist. “It’s good enough that a lucky kid like me, who stood out from a low-level dynasty and obtained the inheritance of a talisman master, can reach this level.”

The Nirvana Ranking is filled with countless people at the Third Nirvana Realm, but those at the Fourth Nirvana Realm and above are extremely rare.

Although the fact that Xiao Yan and his companions exclusively possessed the inheritances of the four great sects was enough to make their fame spread throughout the ancient battlefield, as long as their cultivation level was still below the Four Elements Nirvana Realm, even if the leaders of the super sects knew about Xiao Yan and his group, they would only think that they were lucky.

After Xiao Yan used Liu Bai as an example, Yao Lao understood Xiao Yan's thoughts, but—

"But with your aura that could summon the Fourth Nirvana Tribulation at any moment, it's hard not to attract attention, isn't it?" Yao Lao asked. "Although a minor-stage Immortal Talisman Master's spiritual power can conceal this aura, the Yuan Sect deacon you met earlier must have sensed that your spiritual power didn't match the intelligence, right?"

Liu Tong, a steward of the Yuan Sect, is around the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm. If Xiao Yan hides his spiritual power well, Liu Tong will certainly not be able to find out. However, if he uses his spiritual power to cover up the fact that he can break through at any time, there is a chance that Liu Tong will find out.

Xiao Yan's spiritual power at the Immortal Talisman Master level is a secret that cannot be discovered by those who are unfamiliar with him.

“Therefore, I plan to strengthen the Xuan Heavy Ruler.” A red light flashed, and the Xuan Heavy Ruler, which had not been seen for a long time and whose weight had long been forgotten, appeared in Xiao Yan’s hand. “Senior Zhu Yun imprinted all her knowledge of weapon refining into my mind. Although it is not enough for me to immediately become a weapon refiner of her level, I can still “slightly” strengthen the Xuan Heavy Ruler using materials of the Tianluo Xuanjing level!”

To this day, Xiao Yan has only cultivated one soul technique, the Dragon-like Technique, which can enhance the soul power of the soul weapon holder by strengthening the "soul weapon".

"Although it lacks spirituality and the forging process caused some damage to the Flamefall Black Iron, it is still at least a low-grade Pure Yuan Treasure in terms of the level of spiritual treasures." After gripping the handle of the ruler with his right hand and swinging it slightly, Xiao Yan continued.

"Even though I have no talent for weapon crafting, even though I can only awkwardly fuse the Heavenly Net Mystic Crystal into the Mystic Heavy Ruler right now..."

"Once the upgrade is complete, my mental strength will also increase significantly!"

According to Xiao Yan's plan, once the reforging is completed, his soul power will at least reach the late stage of the Spirit Realm, or even the Great Perfection, which is the Great Ascension stage of a Celestial Talisman Master.

By then, even if Xiao Yan openly used his mental power in front of Liu Tong, Liu Tong wouldn't be able to detect it. And this level of mental power would be just right to take the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram from those who wanted to "move" away the ancient battlefield.

After listening to Xiao Yan's explanation, Yao Lao pondered for a moment, then nodded, affirming the feasibility of the matter.

"So when do you plan to break through to the Heavenly Realm?"

However, before Xiao Yan made a move on the Heavenly Net Crystal and the Profound Heavy Ruler, Yao Lao asked a very important question. After all, the enhanced Profound Heavy Ruler could bring Xiao Yan's soul power to the late stage of the Spirit Realm, or even to the perfect level. So, the Dragon Transformation stage of the Dragon-like Technique could undoubtedly bring Xiao Yan's soul power to the Heaven Realm.

“Heavenly Realm…” Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, “Probably… after becoming a Dou Zong?” Xiao Yan said somewhat uncertainly. After all, when Xiao Yan was still young, Yao Lao had told him many tragedies about the mismatch between mental strength and physical strength.

The answer is, anytime. After giving his assessment in his mind, Yao Lao nodded. He didn't comment on Xiao Yan's guess, but his brighter expression made Xiao Yan feel that he was probably right.

'A Dou Zong...' Xiao Yan murmured as he summoned the Heavenly Net Mystic Crystal, 'Once I devour the Fallen Heart Flame, I should be able to reach that level, right?'

Inside the Azure Dragon Hall, Lin Dong stared stiffly at the young man dressed in purplish-black robes before him—

The young man was extremely handsome, even strikingly so, and the smile on his face gave him a somewhat sinister air. With such an appearance, some women might feel an infatuation upon seeing him...

"Lord Mink?" Lin Dong's lips twitched, and he asked in a forced smile.

"Haha..." Little Marten chuckled dryly, then quickly changed the subject, "It's been almost six months now, Xiao Yan and the others must be getting impatient. Let's hurry out, and once they sense the spatial fluctuations, they'll understand that I've recovered my physical body and will catch up with us soon!"

Lin Dong was taken aback by Xiao Diao's hurried and flustered appearance, and then he instantly realized that Xiao Diao simply wanted to maintain the cunning and shrewd image he had when he was still "Big Black Rat".

“Alright, let’s go.” Although he had guessed Xiao Diao’s plan, Lin Dong did not intend to expose him directly. Instead, he cooperated by taking out the Ancient Key.

As light emanated from the ancient key, a spatial vortex slowly appeared in front of Lin Dong. After a brief moment of reflection, Lin Dong and Little Marten stepped into the spatial vortex.

laugh!

As the two stepped into the spatial vortex, the vortex spun rapidly and finally disappeared amidst a series of violent spatial fluctuations.

As the spatial vortex disappeared, the space not far away slightly distorted, and an old figure appeared.

"It was actually a Heavenly Demon Sable!" The old man sighed slightly as he glanced at the space where Lin Dong and the little sable had disappeared.

"Forget it, what does it have to do with my Dao Sect? Anyway, they're not going to join the Yuan Sect."

However, the old man quickly put aside the trivial matter of the little sable's true form and began to tour the Azure Dragon Palace, which had been untouched since it was discovered, with great interest.

Within the narrow space, Lin Dong and Little Marten listened to what the old man had to say.

"Is he from the Dao Sect?" Lin Dong's gaze remained fixed on the old man. "Is he from the Dao Sect, the one with a deep-seated grudge against the Yuan Sect, which is suspected of cooperating with the Otherworldly Demons?"

“That should be right,” Little Sable nodded. “Moreover, what’s quite a coincidence is that among all the super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, only this Dao Sect has never had any core members hunted down by my Heavenly Demon Sable clan. I don’t know if it’s because they are too weak, or if they are truly pacifists…”

"Or perhaps, they are the sect that is connected to the Otherworldly Demons." Lin Dong added the last possibility for Little Marten.

The little sable chuckled.

"Wait a minute, is it only this Dao Sect that hasn't had any core members hunted by your Heavenly Demon Sable Clan?" Then, Lin Dong realized something was wrong.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, apart from the Dao Sect, all the other sects have people infiltrating the Demon Realm to hunt demonic beasts," Little Marten coughed. "The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace also has some, but they are a smaller number of them!"

Lin Dong's eyes twitched uncontrollably at the sight of Little Mink quickly shifting the blame.

"Forget it, I never thought about joining the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace anyway," Lin Dong rolled his eyes. "Let's hurry up and leave. It's been quite a while since the spatial fluctuations spread, and they might already be waiting for us outside."

"Let's go, let's go." Little Mink nodded with a dry laugh.

With less than two days left until the final month that Tian Zhen had mentioned, Tian Zhen was extremely anxious. He would look up at the sky every few minutes.

He wanted to see Xiao Yan and the other three fly out of the ancient secret treasure's exit!

However, as time passed, Tian Zhen gradually gave up hope. In his view, Xiao Yan and the other three had probably already left with the inheritance of the four great sects. All he could do was wait for the deadline to arrive and then be punished by the four generals of the Great Qian Dynasty...

Just as Tian Zhen was staring blankly at the sky, waiting for the deadline to arrive, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared in the sky.

A spatial vortex slowly formed, and waves of violent spatial fluctuations swept across the sky. Then, two young figures slowly emerged from the vortex.

The moment the two figures appeared, Tian Zhen's pupils constricted sharply. Then, a sharp, undisguised voice rang out from the very center of the ancient temple—

"Lin Dong has appeared!"

Lin Dong and Little Marten, who had just emerged from the spatial vortex, immediately heard this sharp and piercing sound.

After a brief moment of surprise, a gloating smile appeared on Little Marten's face: "Looks like Xiao Yan's leniency has caused you quite a bit of trouble!"

Hearing this, Lin Dong rolled his eyes in annoyance, his gaze falling on the excited-looking person who seemed somewhat familiar. "What's his name again?"

"I don't remember, just a little bug," Little Marten pouted. "But he did bring quite a few helpers. Let me see... two at the fourth level of Nirvana Realm, and two people who are about to attempt the fourth Nirvana Tribulation. Their strength is not bad. They should be people on the so-called Nirvana Ranking."

"Oh? That must be a big shot," Lin Dong nodded casually, then looked up and gazed at the surrounding sky. "Has Xiao Yan not come out yet? Is he still in seclusion?"

"Seclusion? How could that be?" Little Marten muttered. "He's more likely to sleep than advance. The Nirvana Demon Flame born from the third Nirvana Tribulation poses absolutely no threat to him..."

"Hehe, with a formidable enemy at hand, you two are still chatting and laughing. Your composure is somewhat beyond my expectations..."

While Lin Dong and Xiao Diao were "slandering" Xiao Yan, a casual laugh rang out from below. Then, Lin Dong and Xiao Diao saw four figures walk out of the golden hall.

Lin Dong calmly watched the several figures walking through the air.

"Qingchuan, General Feng of the Great Qian Dynasty," Qingchuan said calmly, looking directly at Lin Dong.

"The Great Qian Dynasty, General Lin, Ye Wuqing," the young man in green said with a smile.

"The Great Qian Dynasty, Fire General, Zhu Tianhuo," Zhu Tianhuo said lazily.

"The Great Qian Dynasty, Mountain General, Mu Huang." The burly man's voice boomed like muffled thunder.

"Lin Dong, Great Yan Dynasty." Lin Dong shrugged, completely unconcerned about the four people's extremely oppressive attitude and aura.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time," Zhu Tianhuo said with a warm smile. He stared at Lin Dong and said seriously, "We've set our sights on the inheritances of the four great Xuan Sects. How about you hand them over to us?"

"If you turn around and leave now, I won't mind your attitude," Lin Dong said seriously after glancing at Zhu Tianhuo.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianhuo's smile remained bright, but his eyes instantly darkened: "Say that again?"

"My older brother told you to get out of here right now!"

Behind Lin Dong, a spatial vortex condensed, and a deep voice boomed out. Immediately afterwards, a monstrous aura of ferocity swept out from the spatial vortex.

Qingchuan frowned slightly. Although the fierce aura had no effect on the four of them, his words made him feel dissatisfied.

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that?"

However, before Qingchuan and the other three could react, another voice rang out.

"We're all friends, what's with all the 'get lost' stuff?" From another spatial vortex, Xiao Yan emerged with a broad smile. "Come on, if we're friends, let's get rid of those... what are the Four Great Demonic Sects? Is that what they're called?"

Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Xiao Yuan, who was following behind him, and asked.

“The Earthly Fiend Alliance, the Four Great Demonic Sects.” Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Did you hear that? The Earthly Fiend Alliance, the Four Great Demonic Sects," Xiao Yan looked at the four generals of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain again, "You can only leave after you give them their information, understand?"

Inside the ancient palace, many eyes were filled with shock as they looked at Xiao Yan and his companions.

Do you know that the four people in front of you are powerful figures from a super dynasty?

Seeing Xiao Yan and the others' arrogant behavior, Tian Zhen smiled broadly, as if he could already see himself taking advantage of the situation.

Chapter 265 Fierce Battle?

A few minutes ago, in the Xuanwu Hall.

"The Earthly Fiend Alliance? The Four Great Demonic Sects? What are those?" Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan, who had uttered several unfamiliar terms, with some confusion.

“A sect alliance that has been at odds with the Heavenly Gang Alliance since ancient times,” Xiao Yuan explained with a slightly displeased expression. “The Heavenly Gang Alliance is controlled by the Western Great Profound Sect, while the Earthly Fiend Alliance is controlled by the Four Great Demonic Sects.”

"The four major demonic sects are named after ancient ferocious beasts: Taotie, Qiongqi, and Zhuyan. Moreover, according to that senior from the Xuanwu Hall, the inheritance left by the four major demonic sects can only be fully activated with the blood of those who have obtained the inheritance of the four major Xuanwu sects."

"Just like the superior spiritual martial art you obtained, Devouring Heaven, it requires killing all the inheritors of the four major demonic sects before it can be further transformed into a heavenly martial art?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Hmm." Xiao Yuan nodded sullenly.

Generally speaking, among the Four Symbols, the White Tiger is the one that is in charge of killing and warfare. However, it seems that because the Four Great Demonic Sects are also human sect alliances, the White Tiger Sect among the Four Great Profound Sects does not have much hatred towards the Earthly Fiend Alliance and the Four Great Demonic Sects.
