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

Xiao Yan had no intention of explaining to Lan Ying. After confirming that the mission was issued by the head of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, he looked directly at Lin Dong, who was standing next to Mo Ling.

During his year of adventures in the Eastern Xuan Region, Xiao Yan learned the identity of the woman Lin Dong had "saved." Coincidentally, she was the personal disciple of the head of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, and there was even a high probability that she would be the next head of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace!

So, after confirming Lan Ying's identity and the mission she carried as the head of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Xiao Yan and Xiao Diao both looked at Lin Dong with a mocking expression, while Lin Dong subconsciously turned his head away with an embarrassed expression.

As a result, Lan Ying was even more confused: Among these people from the Great Yan Dynasty, wasn't Xiao Yan the strongest on the surface? Normally, shouldn't Xiao Yan be the one to answer the question? Even if it wasn't Xiao Yan, shouldn't it be the truly strongest one, that guy named Lin Diao, who answered? Why Lin Dong of all people? Is there something special about him?

"Wait, what do you mean? Looking for him? What are you talking about?" So, before Lin Dong could speak, Lan Ying hurriedly asked.

"Huh? Wasn't your mission to find the person who saved... Ling Qingzhu?" Xiao Yan was completely confused by Lan Ying's reaction.

"What?! Saved...Ling Qingzhu?!"

Although she still didn't understand what the task assigned from above meant, just from that one sentence, Lan Ying realized that she had made a mistake—at least, that task was definitely not about finding Yan Xiao!

"Ahem, well, you've all heard about it, right? The Heavenly Demon Dynasty, the Blood Seal Dynasty, and the Jade Bone Dynasty are waiting for you on Hundred Dynasty Mountain," Lan Ying coughed and quickly changed the subject. "I know you've all been hiding your strength, but I still have to say, the difference between the Three-Element Nirvana Realm and the Five-Element Nirvana Realm is more than ten times that between the Three-Element Nirvana Realm and the Four-Element Nirvana Realm!"

Seeing Lan Ying's expression, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something. Although he wanted to ask her a question, Xiao Yan took back his question when he heard Xiao Diao's expression as if he had suddenly thought of something after hearing the second half of Lan Ying's sentence.

"Even if you can defeat one or even several fourth-level Nirvana Realm cultivators when you are in the third-level Nirvana Realm," Lan Ying breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, realizing that Xiao Yan and the others didn't intend to press the matter, and felt that she had successfully changed the subject, then continued, "it's impossible for you to defeat a fifth-level Nirvana Realm cultivator, even if you possess a Heaven-rank spiritual treasure!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Dong asked humbly.

If he and Xiao Yan were truly just ordinary people without any special Three-Element Nirvana Realm cultivation, perhaps they would understand what Lan Ying meant. But their strength... In short, for them, as long as they were in the Nirvana Realm, whether it was the ordinary Nirvana Realm or the Nine-Element Nirvana Realm, there was not much difference. Therefore, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong chose to listen silently to what Lan Ying said.

Of course, Xiao Diao seemed to understand what Lan Ying wanted to say, but feeling that her current status as Lin Dong's follower was not suitable for revealing information that even Lin Dong did not know, Xiao Diao chose to keep quiet.

“The Four Elements Nirvana Realm is a rather special realm,” Lan Ying said. “Its representative is the condensation of a golden body…”

The Golden Body Condensation Technique, which uses the power of the Golden Body to condense an energy entity, is a special power that one will master after advancing to the Fourth Nirvana Realm, far surpassing the first three realms of Nirvana.

However, at the Fourth Nirvana Realm, one can only have a preliminary grasp of this ability. Only at the Fifth Nirvana Realm, or even higher levels, can one gradually master this power. With increasing proficiency in this power, the strength of the Nirvana Golden Body will also continuously improve. At the Seventh and Ninth Nirvana Realms, one can form a primordial spirit and a primordial spirit keratin layer.

"So..." With Lan Ying's explanation, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong understood why she had said that even with a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure, a Three-Element Nirvana Realm cultivator could not defeat a Five-Element Nirvana Realm cultivator. "Only by breaking through to the Four-Element Nirvana Realm and mastering the Golden Body Condensation Technique can one have a chance to defeat those Five-Element Nirvana Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Dynasty?"

“At least, in the history recorded by the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, there has never been anyone who killed or even defeated someone in the Three Yuan Nirvana Realm…” Lan Ying said seriously. “Although someone in the Four Yuan Nirvana Realm would most likely not win either, it is still more hopeful than someone in the Three Yuan Nirvana Realm challenging them.”

"That's all for now. I'll be going now. I hope to see you all on Hundred Dynasty Mountain. Compared to the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, people like you who fought your way up from a low-level dynasty are much more interesting."

After saying this last sentence, Lan Ying left in a hurry. It seemed that she was so embarrassed by the fact that she had misunderstood the mission objective that she forgot to complete the previous mission.

With Lan Ying's departure, from Lin Dong's previous explanation and Lan Ying's words, it was roughly understood that Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and the three others who had previously defeated Mo Ling, who was at the Four Elements Nirvana Realm, walked to Xiao Yan's side together with Lin Dong.

"Are you planning to continue challenging those three from the Heavenly Demon Dynasty?" Although information was rather limited, Mo Ling was still aware of the existence of the three demons from the Song family of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty.

“Even if we want to avoid them, they won’t let us go,” Lin Dong smiled. “The hatred between the Four Great Profound Sects and the Four Great Demonic Sects has been passed down through their lineages, and we can’t escape it in the end.”

Looking at Lin Dong, who was smiling faintly, Mo Ling glanced at Man Shan and Du Yun, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't speak and didn't choose to drag them into the mess.

“I can only stop two… no, three at the Third Nirvana Realm,” Mo Ling said.

"Well, I could probably stop two," Man Shan chuckled dryly, "but I might not be able to stop them in a long time."

“I can hold off three, but only for a little over ten minutes at most,” Du Yun scratched the back of his head. “Actually, if I had to say, I could hold off four, but that would only last for less than three minutes…”

However, although Mo Ling did not intend to drag Man Shan and Du Yun into the mess, the two of them did not think so, and they echoed Mo Ling's words almost immediately after he spoke.

"No need to be too nervous," Lin Dong said with a casual smile. "Maybe we can persuade them to fight us one-on-one? After all, there are three super dynasties. They can't possibly mobilize their entire force against a low-level dynasty, resulting in a multi-against-one situation, can they?"

"Instead of that, you should think about when you're going to break through," Xiao Yan patted Lin Dong on the shoulder. "Do you still have enough Nirvana Pills in your Qiankun bag?"

"What's the rush?" Lin Dong wasn't flustered. "Anyway, you're about to break through. At worst, you can just put in the effort and hold off the three demons of the Song family all by yourself."

"I'd like to, but we should head to the forest at the foot of Hundred Dynasty Mountain first, right?" Xiao Yan chuckled. "Ah, and of course, we also need to get as many Nirvana Seals as possible to push all the Nirvana Seals we have to the Purple Gold level..."

"I don't need it!" Su Kui quickly raised his hand. "Even if I get the Purple Gold Nirvana Seal, with my strength, a super sect would definitely look down on me. The Heaven-level Nirvana Seal is enough!"

“That’s true. Anyway, once this girl’s spirit imprint is sensed, you’ll definitely be taken along as an accessory,” Little Marten nodded, chuckled, and then said seriously, “However, even so, we’ll still need at least eight…”

“Let’s forget about the three of us,” Mo Ling said with a wry smile. “We’ve already exceeded expectations by getting this far. The Purple Gold Nirvana Seal and the Nirvana Golden List are not things we can achieve.” Man Shan and Du Yu also hurriedly refused.

It's important for people to know their own limitations. For the three of them, not being directly eliminated by the Great Sheng Dynasty was already a blessing. If they hadn't still held onto a sliver of hope, they would have even offered up their Nirvana Seals, even though Earth-level Nirvana Seals wouldn't have much effect on Xiao Yan and the others anymore…

"Anyway, let's set off first," Lin Dong said, ignoring Su Kui and Mo Ling's words. "There's still quite a distance to go. Maybe in the end, we can all turn our Nirvana Seals into purple-gold?"

Chapter 275 The Heavenly Demon Dynasty

At the foot of Baichao Mountain on the south side, there is a vast area of ​​chaotic rocks. The terrain here is strange, with some boulders reaching hundreds of feet in height, resembling small mountain peaks.

This is one of the essential routes to Baichao Mountain. Most powerful individuals coming from the south must pass through here before they can ascend Baichao Mountain.

Meanwhile, on the many boulders surrounding this rocky area, numerous figures stood, and a chilling, knife-like aura echoed in the air.

In the very center of this rocky land, a dozen or so figures sat quietly in meditation. They were not deliberately activating their Yuan Power, but around them, the swirling winds formed by their Yuan Power spun and howled, emitting a low humming sound.

This fluctuation was most intense among the three figures at the very front of the boulder. All three were dressed in black robes with skull patterns on them. When the robes fluttered in the wind, the skulls seemed to burst out of the clothes, ferocious and ready to devour people.

The three men bore a striking resemblance to each other, and a powerful and astonishing pressure of Yuan energy emanated from their bodies, enveloping the entire rocky land and causing many people around them to have fluctuating expressions.

call out!

A blue figure suddenly appeared from afar, landing on a boulder in the rocky landscape. The slender figure was none other than Lan Ying, whom Xiao Yan and the others had met briefly before.

"This setup is rather solemn..." Lan Ying murmured, gazing at the three figures sitting cross-legged in the center of the rocks.

"After all, Xiao Shan of the Great Luo Dynasty has shown them the true strength of the Great Yan Dynasty. Five experts equivalent to the Fourth Nirvana Realm... Apart from our dynasty, what other super dynasty can match that?"

Suddenly, a laugh came from behind Lan Ying. Turning around, she saw a figure lightly landing behind her. It was a handsome man dressed in a white robe, carrying a three-foot-long green sword on his back.

"Didn't you go ahead? How come you've fallen behind me?" Lan Ying asked curiously. "I've gone around most of the core area to find those people from the Great Yan Dynasty."

“I’ve been entangled with those guys from the Sword Dynasty for quite a while,” the man shrugged. “They’re all swordsmen, so a little sparring would be good.”

"Speaking of which, now that you've met Xiao Yan from the Great Yan Dynasty, you can consider the task assigned by the Palace Master complete, right?" Then, the man asked curiously, as if he had just thought of something.

"Well..." Lan Ying's expression was slightly embarrassed, "I think the task assigned by the Palace Master has nothing to do with Xiao Yan..."

"Hmm? But isn't Xiao Yan the most famous person in the Great Yan Dynasty?" The man was slightly taken aback.

"One of them has some connection with the young palace master; it seems he saved the young palace master's life." Although she found this somewhat unbelievable, Lan Ying still recounted her conversation with Xiao Yan and the others.

"Uh……"

After listening to Lan Ying's retelling, the man looked like he had a headache, then decisively looked at the three people in the center of the rocky area, "The formation set up by the three Song brothers is quite intimidating. Xiao Yan... and Lin Dong, can they get through?"

Although he was asking Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and the others if they could pass, judging from the tone of the man named Qingfeng, he was clearly asking Lan Ying if they needed their help if they couldn't handle it.

“If nothing unexpected happens, it won’t be necessary,” Lan Ying said with a smile. “Although I’m not sure if what they said is true… their group is quite strong. In the past few days, Xiao Yan should have broken through to the Fourth Nirvana Realm. Moreover, there is one among them… who makes me feel a little dangerous.”

Recalling Xiao Diao's handsome face again, Lan Ying couldn't help but feel uneasy. She had already broken through to the Fifth Nirvana Realm and was only one step away from the Sixth Nirvana Realm, yet that person could make her feel threatened...

'Could it be that this guy named Lin Diao has already reached the Fifth Element Nirvana Realm? Or perhaps, Yan Xiao is really hiding in their group...?'

"You feel a bit of danger?" Qingfeng looked at Lanying in surprise. "You're not joking?"

In this Hundred Dynasties War, the ten most powerful super dynasties in the Eastern Xuan Region sent a total of more than twenty experts at the Fifth Nirvana Realm and above. Qingfeng had met most of these twenty-odd people. According to Qingfeng's personal judgment, Lan Ying's strength was at least in the top five among all the experts at the Fifth Nirvana Realm and above. But now she actually said that a person who made her feel dangerous had appeared in a low-level dynasty.

"I wish I was joking," Lan Ying said with a wry smile. "Well, they're all here now. You can see for yourself, especially the most handsome one..."

Qingfeng suddenly turned his head—

In the distant forest, figures carrying boundless fighting spirit shot straight towards them. The aura emanating from the three leaders was in no way weaker than that of the three Song brothers in the center of the rubble.

The moment the ten figures entered the rocky area, the three Song brothers suddenly opened their tightly closed eyes, and their immense Yuan energy swept towards the ten people like a storm.

……

"They actually came..." Among the onlookers, Mu Hongling, dressed in red, looked in astonishment at the ten people who rushed into the place, led by Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and an unfamiliar guy.

"The Heavenly Demon Dynasty is considered a direct descendant of the Yuan Sect. If they hadn't come this time, they wouldn't have been able to escape it even at the top of Hundred Dynasty Mountain." Although he hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Four Great Profound Sects, Liu Bai didn't harbor much ill will towards Xiao Yan and the others. In fact, after learning about the grudges between the Four Great Profound Sects and the Four Great Demon Sects, and that the Heavenly Demon Dynasty was the one who obtained the inheritance of the Taotie Sect, Liu Bai was even quite grateful to Xiao Yan and the others.

After all, even if they later obtained inheritances no weaker than the Four Great Mystic Sects, they were still one step away from the fifth Nirvana Tribulation. Meanwhile, the three Song brothers... or rather, the three demons of the Song family, had already reached the Fifth Nirvana Realm. Among the many powerful figures in the Hundred Dynasties War, these three were also at the top!

While Mu Hongling and Liu Bai were talking, the Song family's three demons' powerful Yuan energy storm approached Xiao Yan and his companions. Just as everyone was waiting for the three of them to stop their advance and defend themselves with all their might—

Stab it!

A sound like cloth being torn apart rang out, and the terrifying Yuan Power Storm was also torn apart as easily as cloth. Xiao Yan and the others did not stop their speed at all and continued to fly towards the stone pillar where the three demons of the Song family were located.

"Hehe, you really have guts. There aren't many people who would dare to charge over here after knowing that the Heavenly Demon Dynasty has set up such a formation with us..." A strange laugh rang out from behind the three demons of the Song family. Then, two figures flashed out and landed in the very center of the ten people from the Heavenly Demon Dynasty.

Two figures appeared. One was dressed in blood-red clothes and exuded a strong smell of blood. The other was dressed in a pale white robe and looked sinister, giving people a chilling feeling. The one who spoke earlier was the man in the pale white robe.

"After all, they're just people from a low-level dynasty who got lucky," the man with deep-set eyes and a hooked nose said calmly. He was Song Que, the second of the three demons of the Song family. "Blood Shadow, Hua Gu, you two, can you handle those two people from the Qing Dynasty who are with them?" He turned around and swept his eyes over the two men without any emotional fluctuation.

"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Song Que. Those two are only at the Third Nirvana Realm. They definitely can't escape!" Blood Shadow hurriedly replied.

They realized they couldn't obtain the blood of the Great Yan Dynasty members, so they temporarily sought help from the Heavenly Demon Dynasty. Although they only needed to deal with two weaklings at the Third Nirvana Realm, they dared not be negligent in the slightest, not to mention they knew how ruthless the three demons of the Song family were.

“That little girl carries a spirit seal, so I expect you two to be careful,” the one who looked the gentlest among the three turned to look at Xueying and Huagu. “It would be a waste if she died before the spirit seal was removed if you went too far, right?”

"Yes, yes," Hua Gu answered tremblingly. Although he seemed the most gentle, everyone who knew the three demons of the Song family knew that Song Zhen was the most ruthless of them all.

There are even rumors that this person was responsible for 90% of the people killed by the Heavenly Demon Dynasty in this Hundred Dynasties War, as if he possessed some terrifying martial art that made him stronger the more people he killed.

"As for the others..." Song Zhen said slowly.

"This place can be considered a decent burial ground!" Song Ba, ranked third, grinned, his white teeth radiating a chilling aura.

Behind the three, the two blood-shadow figures also smiled sinisterly, then raised their heads to look at the ten people who were breaking through the wind.

Swish swish!

The sound of wind breaking gradually intensified. A moment later, Xiao Yan and the others landed on a boulder directly opposite the Heavenly Demon Dynasty. The ten people lined up on the boulder, their gazes solemn as they looked at the ten people from the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, as well as the only two representatives from the Blood Seal Dynasty and the Jade Bone Dynasty.

As Xiao Yan and the others looked solemnly at the figure standing proudly on the boulder opposite them, Song Zhen and his two companions also turned their gazes to them. Then, a strange smile slowly appeared on Song Zhen's face.

clap clap-

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Zhen clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile, "You must be Xiao Yan, right? In any case, I admire your courage. If it weren't for the grudges between our lineages, I might have considered befriending you."

"Is that so? Then I'm rather unworthy of your presence." Xiao Yan smiled indifferently, and anyone could hear the sarcasm in Song Zhen's words.

“A dying man is indeed not worthy of our attention. Xiao Yan, don’t think that just because you’ve made a name for yourself, you have the right to be arrogant in front of my Heavenly Demon Dynasty. To put it bluntly, even if you can defeat most of the super dynasties present, in our eyes, you are still just inferior people,” Song Que said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the faces of most of the super dynasties watching from the sidelines turned ugly, yet they could not utter a word of rebuttal. After all, as the direct descendant of the most powerful sect in the Eastern Xuan Region, the Heavenly Demon Dynasty was indeed qualified to disregard all dynasties except for the direct descendants of the major sects, and even the direct descendants of some super sects were within their scope of disregard.

"Heh, your arrogant tone is almost as loud as mine." Little Mink couldn't help but laugh after hearing Song Que's words.

Upon hearing this, Song Que's eyes turned slightly cold, his gaze as icy as a knife as he looked at Little Marten. But unexpectedly, he simply stared at him coldly and did not take any action to "uphold the dignity of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty".

Just as everyone was filled with astonishment, Xiao Yan curled his lip.

"A formation that seals off all spatial fluctuations? What a grand scheme!" Xiao Yan clapped his hands. "To seal off my formation abilities, you specifically sought out this rare formation, and it's even more remarkable that the core array points were set up by a Shengxuan Realm cultivator, with the remaining nodes arranged by the three of you..."

Xiao Yan looked at Song Zhen with a mocking expression, "Are you so afraid of being killed by the 'lower class' you call yourselves? The Three Demons of the Song Family... I think we should call them the Little Chicks of the Song Family instead? After all, only chicks would be this afraid, right?"
