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

Fighting is prohibited in the auction house.

But just as Feng Cang was about to make his move, Song Tai on the auction stage spoke up calmly.

His killing intent faltered, Feng Cang clenched his fists tightly, glanced at Song Tai with a sinister and venomous look, and then rushed out of the auction house.

"Get out here! Today, all of you will die!"

The wind howled fiercely on the streets of MixC.

Chapter 271 Zhu Yan

One day earlier, deep in a deserted forest.

A group of people sat silently, without making a sound, but a cold and fierce aura emanated from them, and the surrounding environment was almost completely frozen as a result.

call out!

In the silence, a beam of light suddenly streaked from afar and was grabbed by a figure in the group; it was a jade pendant used for transmitting sound.

The man listened to the voice in the jade tablet, then raised his head and looked into the depths of the forest, where a figure like a demon god sat cross-legged, with astonishingly hot flames constantly emanating from his body.

"Boss, we have news about Xiao Yan and his group!"

Upon hearing the shouts from below, the demon-like figure instantly opened its tightly closed eyes. The swirling flames around it subtly formed a gigantic beast resembling an ape, with a white head and red feet—

The ancient ferocious beast, Zhu Yan!

Where?

Beneath the flames, a pair of fiery red eyes slowly revealed a bloodthirsty glint. Then, he stood up and flashed to appear beside the figure who had reported the message.

“Wanxiang City,” the man hurriedly reported, “They just arrived in Wanxiang City yesterday and have already obtained the Nirvana Seal. They are ranked first at the Earth level. Lin Dong, one of their group, is ranked seventy-second at the Heaven level.”

"Have you obtained the Nirvana Seal yet?"

Xiao Shan, the inheritor of the Zhu Yan Sect, frowned slightly. Although the Hundred Dynasties War did not prohibit those who obtained the Nirvana Seal from fighting each other before the final battle began, his Great Luo Dynasty still had quite a few people whose Nirvana Seals had not reached the Heavenly level...

"A Heavenly-Rank Spiritual Treasure will be up for auction at the upcoming auction in Wanxiang City," the figure quickly added, seemingly realizing that Xiao Shan wasn't planning to go directly to Xiao Yan, "If they manage to acquire the Heavenly-Rank Spiritual Treasure..."

Although the power of the Great Luo Dynasty is not weak among all the super dynasties, Heaven-rank spiritual treasures are not something that can be taken out casually. Therefore, even Xiao Shan's strongest spiritual treasure is only Earth-rank!

"A Celestial-Rank Spiritual Treasure?!"

Upon hearing these four words, even Xiao Shan, who considered himself invincible below the Fifth Nirvana Realm, changed his expression. Judging from the brief exchange between Xiao Yan and Qing Chuan in the Ancient Hall, Xiao Yan had at least obtained the inheritance that allowed him to control the Nirvana Demon Flame in the Vermilion Bird Hall. If this Heavenly Rank spiritual treasure were to fall into Xiao Yan's hands...

"Let's go. Only by killing him can I truly claim the inheritance of the Zhu Yan Sect..."

Without hesitation, Xiao Shan flashed and appeared on a giant tree in the distance.

Upon hearing the ethereal sound echoing through the forest, the eyes of the many people below instantly turned murderous. The sound of wind breaking rang out one after another as they followed closely behind Xiao Shan, rushing towards Wanxiang City.

……

"Get out here! Today, all of you will die!"

On the streets of MixC, Xiao Shan, who had just arrived near the auction venue, suddenly heard a hysterical roar.

"It's Feng Cang from the Fengyun Dynasty. He became a ruthless person at the Fourth Nirvana Realm a long time ago." Sensing Xiao Shan's gaze beside him, the second leader of the Da Luo Dynasty bowed, clasped his hands, and said in a low voice.

"Feng Cang?" Xiao Shan had heard of this name before. Although both were super dynasties and ranked among the Nirvana Seal Heaven level, if they were to fight, Feng Cang wouldn't even last three rounds against him.

"We would have come out even without you saying so," a lazy voice came from the auction house in Wanxiang City. Then, more than a dozen figures poured out. The one who spoke was Xiao Yan, who was walking at the front and yawning. "But, in such a short time, have you finished refining it? A Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure?"

Once on the street, Xiao Yan looked at Feng Cang across from him with a half-smile, as well as the people from the Fengyun Dynasty and the Senzhi Dynasty led by Wu Tuo who were gradually falling behind him.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Feng Cang's anger froze slightly. At first, he thought that the difficulty of refining a Heaven-rank spiritual treasure was at most twice that of an Earth-rank spiritual treasure, so he didn't think about it in detail. However, it wasn't until he came to the street and focused his attention on refining a Heaven-rank spiritual treasure that he realized that the difficulty of refining a Heaven-rank spiritual treasure... might be nine times, or even ten times, more than that of an Earth-rank one!

"You won the bid for that Rank 3 spiritual treasure?"

As Feng Cang froze, an unfamiliar voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Who?!"

The sound, so close at hand, startled Feng Cang. He instantly gathered his immense Yuan energy in his hand and slapped it towards the direction from which the sound came.

Bang!

The Yuan Power handprint that Feng Cang hastily condensed was instantly shattered. Amidst the overflowing Yuan Power, everyone was able to clearly see the face of the person who spoke—

Wearing an extremely eye-catching crimson robe, with a striking resemblance to fresh blood, he sent chills down the spines of many. The speaker was not particularly handsome; if it weren't for the dark red, monkey-like pattern on his face, he might not have been recognized in a crowd.

"The Great Luo Dynasty... Xiaoshan?!"

As Xiao Shan's former defeated opponent, Feng Cang immediately named the man in red, and glanced around at Xiao Shan's surroundings as he said the name.

As expected, everyone from the Great Luo Dynasty except Xiao Shan gathered here.

“Xiao Shan? That guy who wanted to break through to the Fifth Nirvana Realm but ultimately failed… a nobody?” Feng Cang’s voice wasn’t quiet, so Xiao Yan heard him. Then, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Shan with a strange expression.

Upon hearing the words "miscellaneous fish," Xiao Shan's expression instantly darkened.

"I want his life, understand?" Looking at the wary demeanor, Xiao Shan slowly uttered a sentence.

"What do you want to do..."

Feng Cang didn't believe that Xiao Shan had come all the way from other regions to Wanxiang City just to help him. However, before he could finish speaking, Luo Tong patted him on the shoulder and then whispered the situation of the four major Xuan Sects and the four major Demon Sects.

"Alright, he's yours!" After understanding everything, Feng Cang agreed without hesitation.

After glancing at Feng Cang, who thought he had gained a great benefit, Xiao Shan slowly walked to the opposite side of Xiao Yan. His body trembled, and a monstrous crimson flame swept out. In an instant, it seemed as if the temperature of the world had risen, and a frenzied aura enveloped his body, which was extremely astonishing.

The little sable looked at the imposing Xiao Shan with strange, purplish-black eyes, then at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan. According to what was said before coming to Wanxiang City, this guy who failed to survive the fifth Nirvana Tribulation should be left for Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan to practice on...

"You want to fight me?" Xiao Yan looked at him strangely. "Fine, considering you brought a large number of Fourth-Element Nirvana Realm cultivators..."

In the Great Luo Dynasty, besides Xiao Shan, there are three other people at the Fourth Nirvana Realm. If the Great Luo Dynasty is allowed to interfere in the battle between the four super dynasties of Wanxiang City, Mu Lin, who had previously shown him goodwill, and the leader of the Li Huo Dynasty will probably be in trouble.

"Seven against six..." After counting the number of enemies and allies who could be considered as fourth-level Nirvana Realm cultivators, Lin Dong sighed helplessly, "Alright, I'll hold off two of them. Feng Cang and that Wu Tuo are mine."

"Meng Lie." Xiao Yan locked onto her target.

"Fine, Luo Tong is mine now." Little Mink rolled her eyes, looking disgusted.

Xiao Yuan immediately sought out the strongest Four-Element Nirvana Realm expert in the Great Luo Dynasty besides Xiao Shan. Clearly, she was extremely displeased that Lin Dong had taken over Feng Cang, who should have been her test, instead of her.

Seeing that everyone had decided on their opponents, Xiao Yan curled his lip, moved, and took a step forward under the watchful eyes of countless people.

"Good, that's bold!"

Seeing Xiao Yan step forward alone, the people around Xiao Yan scattered and found their own opponents. Xiao Shan couldn't help but sneer. With a grab of his hand, fiery and violent Yuan energy condensed in his palm, and in a moment it transformed into a crimson greatsword about half a zhang long. The blade trembled and with a hissing sound, it was as if the air itself was being torn apart.

"Xiao Yan, let me see if someone like you deserves to bear the surname Xiao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shan's eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce. He slashed down with his crimson greatsword, and dozens of huge fiery red blade beams shot out like lightning. The blade beams swept past, completely sealing off all of Xiao Yan's space to dodge.

Watching the fiery red blade light hurtling towards him, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. At the same time, he raised his right hand, his thumb twitching slightly. Black flames, equal in number to the fiery red blade light, condensed into spikes, which then roared out as Xiao Yan waved his hand.

Ding Ding Ding!

The spikes formed by the Nirvana Demon Flame instantly pierced through the sharp blade light, leaving dozens of burning flames in mid-air before shooting towards Xiao Shan's location.

"It's best not to bring out such a small toy and embarrass yourself!"

Seeing the incoming spikes, Xiao Shan's eyes flashed with anger. He spread his arms, his body trembled violently, and a powerful crimson aura erupted from his chest like a volcanic eruption. Then, it condensed wildly and transformed into a crimson behemoth a hundred feet in size when the spikes reached him.

Lin Dong and the others, who had long been scattered throughout Wanxiang City due to the battle, were slightly surprised when they saw this giant beast, which was a hundred feet long, resembled an ape, but had red feet and a head as white as jade.

"Is this the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan?"

After seeing the ape completely devour the Nirvana Demon Flame burning on its body, Lin Dong murmured softly.

"That's right, that's the inherited martial art of the Zhu Yan Sect, one of the Four Great Demonic Sects, the Spirit of Zhu Yan!" Feng Cang, who also saw Zhu Yan devour the black flames, was overjoyed. For a moment, he forgot that he and Wu Tuo had been defeated by Lin Dong even when they joined forces. "Without the Nirvana Demon Flame, that Xiao Yan is just a piece of trash! Just wait, in a little while, Xiao Shan will completely crush that Xiao Yan!"

Looking at Feng Cang, who was covered in wounds but inexplicably seemed to have regained his spirits, Lin Dong thought for a moment and decided not to reveal the fact that the so-called Nirvana Demon Flame was just something Xiao Yan casually conjured up, simply a "tool to clear out the mobs."

'But the Zhu Yan Sect's heritage is actually related to flames?' Lin Dong, distracted by the 'battle' between Xiao Shan and Xiao Yan, thought to himself, 'Isn't this just suicide?'

Although Xiao Yan couldn't use his strange fire because of the presence of people from a powerful sect nearby, those who used flames in front of Xiao Yan, and even those who challenged him, were no match for ordinary people without the flames...

'Warrior!' x2

At that moment, as if on the same wavelength, Xiao Diao and Lin Dong simultaneously uttered words of praise for Xiao Shan.

After devouring the Nirvana Demon Flame on its body, the Zhu Yan waved its long arm, swallowing all the black flames that were burning silently in the air. Then, the Zhu Yan opened its big mouth, and Xiao Shan's arrogant voice came out from it.

"What? Is that all there is to it? Without the Nirvana Demon Flame, you have no ability to fight anyone? In that case, prepare to die!"

Zhu Yan roared to the sky, its ferocity overwhelming. Its giant claws, as large as mountains, suddenly shot out, tearing through the void with a massive shadow and containing destructive power. Under countless shocked gazes, it slammed down on Xiao Yan.

Such power was something that even an ordinary fourth-level Nirvana Realm cultivator couldn't withstand, no matter how hard they tried!

In the shadow of the behemoth, Xiao Yan hesitated as he watched the massive claw hurtling towards him—

The notion that the Nirvana Demon Flame was useless without it didn't affect Xiao Yan at all. After all, the Nirvana Demon Flame was just a one-time-use prop used to fool people, and in Xiao Yan's eyes, the Zhu Yan beast was merely a larger Nirvana Realm monster. Even with just his physical strength, he could easily suppress it, but...

'If it's just a direct defeat without any special effects, wouldn't that be too over-the-top?'

Just before the giant claw approached, Xiao Yan was still pondering this question.

"Roar!"

A massive shadow swept down, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The overwhelming sound waves not only resisted the giant claws but also swept outwards, causing the hundreds-of-foot-tall Zhu Yan beast to be forced back dozens of steps amidst the spreading sound waves.

"Dragon spirits? Where did these dragon spirits come from?" Looking at the two dragon spirits, one red and one blue, coiled together within the massive body of the Vermilion Bird, Xiao Shan was filled with doubt. "Wasn't he receiving the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird Palace? What's the deal with these dragon spirits?"

However, Xiao Shan quickly put this trivial matter behind him.

"They're just two ordinary dragon spirits. My Zhu Yan beast possesses a trace of Zhu Yan's original energy. In ancient times, dragons were nothing more than a dish on Zhu Yan's menu!"

Xiao Shan let out a cold laugh, and his enormous Zhu Yan body's giant hand burst out, as if chasing stars and seizing the moon, grabbing directly at the two dragon spirits. Wherever the giant hand passed, the air exploded with loud bangs.

As if preparing for a direct confrontation, the two dragon spirits suddenly merged into one. Then, the purplish-red dragon claws, carrying immense power that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth, collided fiercely with the charging Zhu Yan beast under the gaze of countless eyes.

Bang!

The two colossal beasts, each a behemoth, collided violently amidst the raging energy fluctuations. In that instant, an indescribable roar echoed through the ruins of Wanxiang City, causing many to suffer ear pain.

The familiar aura of the dragon race...

Lin Dong and Xiao Diao both had their lips twitching slightly. Weren't these two dragon spirits, one red and one blue, formed from the dragon corpse beneath the red and white hot spring?

"They really put in a lot of effort to act," Xiao Diao muttered, then looked at Luo Tong across from him, who was beaming with excitement, feeling like he was about to win. "Although I'm doing the same thing."

With a slap, Xiao Diao dispersed the martial arts spirit that Luo Tong had gathered, and put on a fake serious expression.
