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

Yinsen wasn't the kind of fool who wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall. He knew very well what he could and couldn't do.

"Are you preparing to attempt the fourth Nirvana Tribulation?" Xiao Yan nodded. "What else?" This kind of nobody was not worthy of Xiao Yan remembering his name, so Xiao Yan quickly asked another question.

“Besides Luo Tong, the only ones who can be considered as rivals are the leaders of the Fengyun Dynasty,” Yin Sen said with a smirk. “However, you know that’s all the strength I have. If I were to reveal the information about those two directly, I certainly wouldn’t be in a good position…”

Xiao Yan smiled at him without saying a word.

“Ahem, the Fengyun Dynasty has two leaders,” Yin Sen said with a look of utter despair, his heart pounding under Xiao Yan’s gaze. “One is Meng Lie, and the other is Feng Cang. Moreover, both of them are experts who have long since entered the Four Elements Nirvana Realm, and both are among the Heavenly-level figures on the Nirvana Stele…”

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Lin Dong. After all, in other people's eyes, only Heaven-level people could see the Heaven-level rankings, and there were people from super sects below them. It would be a bit embarrassing if a problem was discovered because of such a small matter.

Lin Dong nodded slightly, understanding Xiao Yan's concerns.

"Can I go now?"

Noticing the subtle interaction between Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, Yin Sen chuckled dryly and asked.

After glancing at Yin Sen, Xiao Yan nodded casually.

"Aren't you going to tell the brothers about the auction at Wanxiang City?" Before Yin Sen led his team away, a voice came from the side. "Friends, my name is Chang Ling. If you don't mind, perhaps we can get to know each other." A young man stepped forward, his face full of smiles.

"Lin Dong, these are my brothers: Xiao Yan, Lin Diao, Xiao Yuan, and Lin Yan," Lin Dong sneered as he watched Yin Sen flee without looking back. Then, he turned to Chang Ling and said with a smile, "By the way, Brother Chang Ling, I wonder what you meant by the Wanxiang City auction you mentioned earlier...?"

"The Wanxiang Auction is the most attractive place in Wanxiang City. It is held every two months. This kind of auction is basically the highest-level auction in the ancient battlefield. Because after passing through Wanxiang City, you have to enter the core area to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War, so many people want to find some treasures here to increase their combat power." Su Kui explained in a low voice next to Lin Dong.

“That’s right, this auction in Wanxiang City will be our last chance to improve our combat power before entering the core area,” Chang Ling said with a smile to Su Kui. “And the next auction in Wanxiang City is about to begin, and I heard that there are Heaven-rank spiritual treasures in this auction!”

"A Heavenly-Rank Spiritual Treasure?" Lin Dong was slightly taken aback, then realized, "The Fengyun Dynasty also has its eye on that potentially existing Heavenly-Rank Spiritual Treasure?"

"Of course, no one can ever have too many Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasures, right?" Chang Ling chuckled. "If the two sides in a battle are evenly matched, the side with the Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure will definitely have a higher chance of winning than the other, right?"

"Thank you for informing me, Brother Chang Ling!" Upon learning this important news, Lin Dong didn't hesitate and bowed respectfully, saying solemnly.

"This is just news that everyone in the city knows, no need to be polite," Chang Ling said with a smile.

Of course, the main reason was that the people of the Fengyun Dynasty were too disliked in Wanxiang City, and Chang Ling only wanted to cause trouble for the Fengyun Dynasty.

After a few more conversations, Chang Ling turned and left.

After Chang Ling left, Xiao Yan and his group did not linger and left the square under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

"We might be able to check out the auction in two days," Lin Dong said after leaving the plaza.

"What, are you also interested in that auction?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"We should at least take a look at this Heavenly Rank spiritual treasure," Lin Dong said with a helpless smile. "It would be troublesome if this kind of thing fell into the hands of someone else."

“That’s right, the two leaders of the Fengyun Dynasty are not simple characters either. If they manage to take the Heavenly Rank spiritual treasure…” Su Kui said in a low voice.

"A Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure... It's worth a look," Xiao Yan said softly after thinking for a moment. "Maybe we can even find some materials that can be used to refine a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes lit up slightly. He remembered that Xiao Yan had mentioned that one of the inheritances he obtained in the Vermilion Bird Palace was the weapon-refining inheritance of a powerful expert who could forge ancient divine artifacts!

Thinking of this, Lin Dong decisively patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, "You tricked me just now, didn't you?" with a sinister smile on his face.

"If I have suitable materials, I'll definitely help you refine a spirit treasure that suits you!" Xiao Yan said with a look of disdain. "Even if I don't have suitable materials, I'll still pay for that Heaven-rank spirit treasure for you, okay?"

"That's enough!" Lin Dong nodded with a grin. "However, how come a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure, which we've never even encountered in the Ancient Secret Treasures, is appearing at this Myriad Elephant City auction... Where did it come from?"

"It's probably bait put out by some super sect," Little Marten said casually. "They're afraid the Hundred Dynasties War will be too peaceful, so they deliberately threw something exciting down to arouse everyone's passion and make the final Hundred Dynasties War more intense."

"So, besides Myriad Elephant City, other super-cities also have Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasures?" Upon hearing this, Lin Dong raised his head in surprise. "Does each Hundred Dynasties War consume several Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasures? Are super sects really that extravagant?"

"Hey, who in this ancient battlefield isn't desperately trying to improve their strength?" Xiao Yan chuckled. "Who do you think would be the ones willing to spend millions, or even tens of millions, of Nirvana Pills to buy a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure?"

"So..." Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's expression also turned strange, "These Heavenly Rank spiritual treasures, in a sense, were already reserved?"

"At least some super dynasties have already paid off the majority of their Nirvana Pills!"

Chapter 269 Balance Spirit Fruit

On a towering building in the southern part of MixC, two figures sat cross-legged, with a chessboard in front of them, seemingly playing a game of chess.

call out!

The sound of wind breaking came from afar, and a figure carrying a slight smell of blood landed on the building and stood behind two sitting figures.

"Is it all taken care of?" The scholar-like man, dressed in a long robe with long, slender fingers, raised his eyes, glanced at the figure that had just stopped, and asked with a faint smile.

“Yin Sen left behind an arm,” the ordinary-looking man in gray said respectfully, “and also paid eight million Nirvana Pills as payment for his life.”

"Only eight million?" The man with terrifying, centipede-like scars on his face grinned. "Those people must have around ten million Nirvana Pills, right? Luo Tong, what kind of work are you doing? You only took eight million?"

Luo Tong, the former top-ranked expert at the Nirvana Monument level, second only to the two leaders of the Fengyun Dynasty, lowered his head. "I'm not confident I can completely eliminate the Yin Sen group..."

"My question is, why did you only take eight million Nirvana Pills?!" the scarred man shouted angrily.

“Meng Lie, that’s enough. Eight million is about enough,” the scholar-like man raised his hand, interrupting the scarred man’s resentment. “We only have about a month left before we enter the core area. If those good-for-nothings team up during this time, they might still be able to defeat us.”

"Hey, Feng Cang, stop fooling yourself," Meng Lie, the second leader of the Fengyun Dynasty, chuckled. "Even if the Guyue Dynasty and the Lihuo Dynasty join forces, they can only barely hold their own, right? As long as the Senzhi Dynasty makes a move..."

The Lonely Moon Dynasty, the Blazing Fire Dynasty, the Wind and Cloud Dynasty, and the Forest Dynasty are the four strongest dynasties in Myriad Elephant City. Although to outsiders the other three dynasties seem to be subtly excluding the Wind and Cloud Dynasty, Meng Lie knows very well that Feng Cang has already won over the Forest Dynasty!

"I'm talking about the Great Yan Dynasty, those few people from the lower-level dynasties," Feng Cang chuckled. "They defeated Ye Wuqing in one move... I don't think I'm at that level. And that Xiao Yan, the number one Earth-level expert... Ha!"

After all, he had occupied several super dynasties in Wanxiang City. It was normal for people from those high-level or mid-level dynasties not to see it. However, even though he had only heard about the actual situation from other people, Feng Cang was still very certain that Xiao Yan's strength and potential could not be represented by "the number one at the Earth level".

"If you were to fight Xiao Yan, could you win?" After clearing his mind of some jumbled thoughts, Feng Cang looked at Meng Lie and asked with a smile.

"Of course we'll win," Meng Lie grinned. "They're just bottom-tier Heaven-level trash at most. I've torn up so many of those already."

"So, you can? Do you think you can defeat those guys who stole the second, third, and even fourth and fifth place rankings?" Feng Cang turned his gaze to Luo Tong, his smile unchanged.

"...We will win!" After a brief hesitation, Luo Tong, who had successfully broken through to the Fourth Nirvana Realm, nodded firmly.

"So, only I am likely to be defeated by that Lin, right?" Feng Cang laughed. "In that case, why not wait until we get that Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure and are guaranteed to be able to completely defeat that low-level dynasty and the other two useless dynasties before we make our move?"

"And during this time, in order to snatch the Heavenly Rank spiritual treasure from us, they will definitely do everything in their power to obtain the Nirvana Pill, right?"

"After all, someone in our team was 'bribed' and revealed that we only have a little over 20 million Nirvana Pills. Even if we include the 8 million Nirvana Pills that Luo Tong just got, we only have a little over 30 million Nirvana Pills..." Feng Cang chuckled, as if he could already see himself defeating the several dynasties that opposed him in Wanxiang City, and finally taking their legacy into the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield.

"Don't forget that little girl," Meng Lie slammed the chess piece onto the board, unleashing a torrent of violent power that instantly pulverized the board and its pieces. "Once I obtain that spirit seal, I can easily defeat even the people from the ten super dynasties!"

After giving Meng Lie a disdainful look for his sore loser who flipped the chessboard, Feng Cang calmly stood up. "Alright, only two days left. Let's wait. Once we get that Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure, we can do everything we want to do!"

"Yes!" Luo Tong bowed and said respectfully.

At this moment, similar conversations were taking place in many places in Wanxiang City. However, everyone was focused on the fact that Luo Tong, the third-in-command of the Fengyun Dynasty, had quietly broken through to the Fourth Yuan Nirvana Realm, and when the Fengyun Dynasty, which had three Fourth Yuan Nirvana Realm experts, would turn against them and defeat the other three super dynasties, which each had only one Fourth Yuan Nirvana Realm expert.

Two days passed quietly in a tense yet calm atmosphere before the storm.

The auction was held in the giant arena in the north of the city. As a super city, Wanxiang City obviously had no shortage of space. Even though the city was now bustling with people due to the news of the Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure, the arena could still accommodate everyone.

When Xiao Yan and his group arrived at the giant arena, countless gazes were cast upon them from all directions. Two days was enough time for everyone to know that Xiao Yan and his group came from a low-level dynasty.

Five people from a low-level dynasty were able to enter the City of Myriad Phenomena, and one of them even obtained a Heaven-level Nirvana Seal. The rest of them also had Earth-level Nirvana Seals. This kind of thing cannot be described as a once-in-a-century event!

Not long after Xiao Yan and his group took their seats, two powerful fluctuations of Yuan energy suddenly emerged from afar, then rushed into the arena like a whirlwind—

"Haha, everyone's here quite early! However, this Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure is something my Fengyun Dynasty is determined to obtain. I'd like to see who dares to snatch it from my Fengyun Dynasty today!"

Amidst the surging winds, a loud laugh, enveloped in powerful Yuan energy, reverberated throughout the arena, causing countless people's eardrums to ache, yet none dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"He has roughly the strength to challenge the fifth Nirvana Tribulation," Xiao Yan casually raised his eyelids, "Little Yan, are you interested?"

Over the course of two days, Xiao Yan and his companions learned about the situation of the two leaders of the Fengyun Dynasty. Among them, the extremely arrogant Meng Lie happened to be the kind of person with countless lives on his hands and full of murderous intent—which was exactly Xiao Yan's type.

"You can give it a try if you have time."

Xiao Yan chuckled innocently. Judging from his current appearance, who would have thought that this seemingly honest and burly man was the one with the strongest murderous aura and the most ferocious in battle among Xiao Yan's group?

“I’ll take the other one,” Xiao Yuan said, turning his gaze to Feng Cang, who had entered behind Meng Lie. “It’ll be a good opportunity to test my skills!”

Just as Xiao Yan and his group finished dividing up the two leaders of the Fengyun Dynasty like it was nothing, Meng Lie finished greeting the people from the super dynasties and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan and his group... or rather, precisely to Xiao Yan.

"So you're Xiao Yan? Heh, hiding your abilities in front of the Nirvana Stele, what good did it do?" Meng Lie's centipede-like scars writhed, and a chilling laugh rang out. "And, do you have the strength to protect the person our Fengyun Dynasty wants?"

Xiao Yan wasn't surprised that his "hidden talent" had been discovered, but when he heard Meng Lie's second half of the sentence, he still slightly raised his eyelids, looking at him like he was an idiot.

Do you think we have the capability?

Xiao Yan was too lazy to pay attention to this brute, but Xiao Yan couldn't stand this guy, who was at most a touchstone for him, jumping around like this. The silly smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a fierce expression.

“You’ve got guts,” Meng Lie laughed upon seeing Xiao Yan’s reaction, but the chill in his eyes intensified. “I’ll let you live a little longer, until the auction is over… Heh!”

After giving a mocking laugh, Meng Lie followed behind Feng Cang and walked towards the spot reserved for the Fengyun Dynasty.

Once more than 90% of the seats in the arena were filled, a figure slowly emerged from the giant platform at the very center of the auction house. Dressed in gray, his spiritual power was extremely well concealed; he was none other than the disciple of the super sect whom they had seen near the Nirvana Monument two days prior.

The figure that suddenly appeared on the auction stage naturally became the focus of the auction house immediately. Everyone present obviously knew his identity, and for a moment, all eyes turned to awe. Even the super dynasty in front of them restrained some of its arrogance.

"Everyone here is here for the Wanxiang City Auction, so I won't go into the rules. Fighting is strictly prohibited in the auction house. Anyone who violates the rules, whether from a super dynasty or a low-level dynasty, will be expelled. If they do it again, they will be disqualified from participating in the Hundred Dynasties War. Do you all understand?" The man's gaze swept across the entire room, and his powerful voice resounded in everyone's ears.

After emphasizing the most basic rules, the man waved his sleeve, and dozens of dazzling orbs of light emerged from his sleeve, eventually hovering above the auction stage.

Swish!

Instantly, all eyes were focused on the dozens of dazzling orbs of light. Everyone could sense the powerful fluctuations within the orbs, and the most outstanding of these orbs was naturally a purple orb the size of a human head.

'Hmm? A dragon spirit? And a dragon spirit at the Life Profound Realm?'

With a glance, Xiao Yan identified the most precious item among the Heavenly Rank spiritual treasures. "Before going to the Demon Realm, this Dragon Spirit of the Life Profound Realm is quite an extraordinary treasure!" A urging voice rang in Lin Dong's ears.

"Compared to this... there seems to be a Balancing Spirit Fruit among these auction items?" Lin Dong said somewhat uncertainly. "My spiritual power is easily detected by him, could you check for me?"

The Balancing Spirit Fruit is usually a medicinal herb used by powerful cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm to balance the life and death energies in their bodies. However, the auction house in Myriad Elephant City has brought it out as if it were a joke. It is unclear whether this was the intention of a super sect or whether a disciple of a super sect named Song Tai had mixed his own harvest into the auction.

Of course, for Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, the only effect of the Balancing Fruit was to help Su Rou control the power in her body.

Therefore, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Dong, 'Yes, so you're planning to take a picture of that little girl?'

"Better safe than sorry." Lin Dong clearly didn't want to dwell on this issue too much, and simply said this before moving on.

Xiao Yan had no objection to this; after all, he would have plenty of opportunities to tease Lin Dong when he handed the Balancing Spirit Fruit to Su Rou.

The auction items that Song Tai brought out were all excellent treasures for those who fought on the ancient battlefield. As a result, most of the auction items were snapped up by various dynasties within just a few minutes. Of course, since the ultimate Heavenly Rank spiritual treasures had not yet appeared, the four super dynasties and some powerful high-level dynasties did not make a move.

"Next item for auction, the Balance Spirit Fruit..." On the auction stage, Song Tai held a palm-sized, emerald-green fruit. After briefly introducing its effects, Song Tai said calmly, "Balance Spirit Fruit, starting bid, one million Nirvana Pills!"

Unfortunately, for those who lived on the ancient battlefield, this kind of thing, which could only be used in the realm of life and death, was not widely recognized. As a result, two or three minutes passed after Song Tai finished speaking without anyone making a bid.

"One million one hundred thousand Nirvana Pills."

Just as Song Tai was about to put away the Balancing Spirit Fruit and exchange it for cultivation resources back at the sect, Lin Dong spoke up calmly.

"Brother Lin Dong..."
