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

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's expressions changed drastically, and they stepped forward without hesitation—they were still unsure of the level of the demon suppressed by the Great Desolate Stele, and if it were to break free at this moment, their sins would be immense.

"Humph!"

However, before the two could even come into contact with the black energy spreading towards them, the spirit of the monument let out a low, cold snort. Immediately, beams of ancient yellow light surged out, and an indescribable power spread out, suppressing the black patterns that were trying to invade them once again.

"Jie Jie..."

The black aura that had been spreading along with the black pattern was completely dissipated as the black pattern was suppressed. However, before the black pattern was suppressed, Xiao Yan and the other person vaguely heard an extremely sharp laugh.

The laughter was filled with a chillingly evil aura. Upon hearing it, Xiao Yan's pupils constricted. Apart from the remnant souls of the Ghost General and the Great Wilderness Sect, this was the first time he had heard the voice of the Otherworldly Demon, and the first time he had fully felt the evil nature of the Otherworldly Demon's voice.

"Is there anything we can do to help you?" After calming down, Xiao Yan looked at the now composed spirit of the monument and asked.

“It’s impossible… It’s a king,” the spirit of the monument said calmly. “To completely annihilate it, we would need the power of at least two ancestral symbols.”

King? So that means... a demon from the Reincarnation Realm?

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's eyes twitched involuntarily. The Great Wilderness Sect had a King-level Demon that had survived two cycles of reincarnation, and the Dao Sect had another King-level Demon...

Although, according to the master of the Great Wilderness Sect's Medicine Hall, there are still many King-level alien demons active in this world, their Yuan Power cultivation is only at the Nirvana Realm. How could they have seen two sealed King-level alien demons in succession? The number of King-level alien demons seen by experts in the Eastern Profound Domain... or even the Reincarnation Realm experts in the Four Great Profound Domains might not even match the number seen by the two of them.

"...Before you, many others have come here. Although their strength and understanding of the Otherworldly Demons were inferior to yours, I still told them about the calamity of the Otherworldly Demons," the spirit of the monument continued after a pause, "In exchange, I gave them the Great Desolation Scripture, hoping they could bring back an Ancestral Symbol..."

“They were the predecessors of the Dao Sect, but they are all gone now,” Lin Dong spread his hands. “The last one also died a hundred years ago… I have a lot of things inside me. If you can eliminate this demonic creature, I can lend them to you…”

"Hehe, I can feel your old friend inside you."

The spirit of the monument chuckled softly. As the sound faded, Lin Dong's face showed a hint of surprise, as if he had sensed the fluctuations of the spiritual object within his body.

"However, it was more seriously injured than I was. If it hadn't been the strongest back then, it might have shattered long ago, right?"

"Does Senior know how to restore its intelligence?" In the years he had known Lin Dong, this was the first time Xiao Yan had seen Lin Dong react so eagerly.

"It depends on your fate..." The stone tablet did not answer Lin Dong's question directly, but instead gave a very troublesome answer.

"Senior, how much longer can you hold on?" Xiao Yan asked as Lin Dong nodded in disappointment.

"In less than three years, that thing's corrosive power has grown stronger and stronger, and I can no longer suppress it. If this thing were to break free and tear apart the spatial rift, another disaster would occur in this world that no one can avoid..." the stone tablet said slowly.

Space fault?

Xiao Yan frowned. After signing a bloodline link with Zi Yan, space was no longer an inaccessible thing for him. Therefore, the "spatial rift" mentioned by the monument spirit confused Xiao Yan. He had never heard of such a thing before.

"After it escapes, the sect outside will be the first to bear the brunt..."

However, there was no time for Xiao Yan to think about what this spatial rift was. The second half of the words spoken by the Stele Spirit made Xiao Yan feel even worse.

"The king-level alien demon that you sealed away, senior..." After glancing at the black patterns on the base of the stone tablet, Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice, "Did it try to contact alien demons outside?"

"The outside world..." The spirit of the monument was clearly stunned. "There are otherworldly demons in the outside world?!"

The spirit of the monument was just a transparent spirit, but when it uttered those words, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong seemed to see an expression of disbelief on its transparent body.

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, and then, one after the other, recounted what they had seen and heard in the Great Wilderness Sect, including but not limited to the complete annihilation of the Great Wilderness Sect by a king-level alien demon and several general-level alien demons, and the fact that the sealed king-level alien demon was constantly releasing its demonic energy, trying to contact the alien demons outside...

After listening to the two people's accounts, the spirit of the monument fell silent, and for a moment, no sound was heard in this space.

"As before, I will hand over the Great Desolation Scripture to you..." After a long while, the spirit of the stele finally spoke again, "As before, I hope you can bring back another ancestral talisman to help me eliminate this alien demon."

but……

If, if you encounter a Reincarnation Realm expert before finding the other Ancestral Symbol, and you can confirm that they know about the Otherworldly Demons and are fighting against them, please tell them what I have here!

"If the number of demons hiding outside is as you say, and there are still quite a few... gathering forces as soon as possible is the only way to break this deadlock!" the spirit of the monument said in a deep voice.

"I understand." The two took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

The spirit of the stele seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then the stele trembled, and the ancient characters on it detached and transformed in the air. Finally, they turned into four ancient yellow characters that floated in front of the two people, spreading an aura of desolation and wilderness.

The Great Desolation Sutra!

……

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

During these two weeks, the Dao Sect remained in an uproar, and the source of this uproar was Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, who were sitting in front of the Great Desolate Stele and were firmly enveloped by the light released by the Great Desolate Stele.

At this moment, everyone in the Dao Sect knew that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong would be the only two people after Zhou Tong to successfully comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture!

"This guy... actually shows signs of success..."

In the sky, Ying Huanhuan looked at Xiao Yan in front of the stone tablet, her lips pursed, and she said in a muffled voice.

Of course, it's not that we don't want Xiao Yan to succeed, but recently there have been rumors within the Dao Sect that the Desolate Hall will regain its title as the number one of the Four Great Halls. If Xiao Yan really intends to do such a thing, his sister, who represents the Heavenly Hall, will be the strongest opponent he will have to challenge...

“Two months is no longer a sign of success or failure,” Ying Xiaoxiao glanced at her younger sister. “When he was about to succeed, weren’t you the happiest person there?”

"No way... Besides, he's only at the sixth level of Nirvana Realm, while you're already at the Life Profound Realm. Even if he comprehends the Great Desolation Scripture, he still won't be a match for you!" Ying Huanhuan quickly stated her position.

"Life Profound Realm..." Ying Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly and said, "If it weren't for that Immortal Essence Ancient Fruit he took out, even if the sect competition had started, I might not have been able to reach this level, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Huanhuan instinctively shrank back. After all, if Ying Xuanzi hadn't sided with Xiao Yan, those few Immortal Essence Fruits would probably still be passing between the Lord of the Desolate Palace and the Lord of the Heavenly Palace...

"We need to get results soon!"

Just as Ying Huanhuan was about to say something, Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed, and she slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ying Huanhuan quickly turned her gaze towards the direction of the Great Desolate Monument—

The light on the Great Desolate Monument began to gradually dim, and the two figures shrouded in the light gradually came into everyone's view.

Everyone stared intently at the two figures, their faces filled with tension. They were eager to know whether their two months of sitting in meditation had been a success or a failure.

A brief silence fell over the entire world at that moment.

In the silence, the two people in front of the stone tablet slowly opened their tightly closed eyes. The moment their eyes opened, everyone felt an invisible wave spreading from their bodies.

As the invisible fluctuations spread, the trees on that mountain peak began to wither and turn yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye. That fluctuation was somewhat similar to the desolate energy of the Desolate Palace... or rather, the desolate energy of the Desolate Palace was based on this invisible fluctuation!

"Success!"

"Our Desolate Palace is about to shed its last-place ranking!"

"Great!"

……

Everyone who sensed this fluctuation became excited, and the disciples of the Desolate Palace cheered as if they could see the day when the Desolate Palace would be transformed.

Compared to the disciples' jubilation, Wu Dao and Chen Zhen were much more reserved... Of course, this was mainly because the other three hall masters were around them, and Ying Xiaoxiao hadn't hidden the news of her recent breakthrough to the Life Profound Realm from them. Otherwise, even if the other three hall masters were there, they would have teased her a bit.

Amidst the cacophony of noise filling the mountains and fields, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong slowly rose, their gazes fixed on the enormous stone tablet. They then bowed simultaneously and paid their respects.

"I will do my utmost to fulfill your request, senior!" Lin Dong said in a deep voice.

Ever since meeting the Black-Eyed Elder at the Great Wilderness Sect and receiving the key to activate the Devouring Ancestral Symbol from him, Lin Dong knew that eliminating the alien demons was an unavoidable task for someone like him who controlled the Ancestral Symbol. Not to mention now that he also knew that the alien demons in the world were very likely to start another war between heaven and earth...

Xiao Yan didn't speak. After all, he vaguely sensed that the time for him to leave the Tianxuan Continent was not far off, and at this moment, he couldn't make any promises.

Buzz!

The Great Desolate Stele seemed to hear Lin Dong's voice. The stele trembled slightly, and then a crack appeared on the stele. Several thin streams of light swept down and hovered in front of Lin Dong.

"This is the Desolate Pearl. In times of crisis, it might be of some help to you. This is the greatest assistance I can give you. As for whether you can bring back the Ancestral Symbol, that depends on yourself... I hope we will meet again someday." The spirit of the stele rang in Lin Dong's ears.

Then, the huge stone tablet trembled violently, followed by a great earthquake, and cracks reappeared. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the huge stone tablet slowly sank, eventually sinking back into the ground.

"This..." After grasping the Desolate Pearl, Lin Dong looked at Xiao Yan.

"Keep it for yourself," Xiao Yan shook his head slightly. "For me, the Great Desolation Scripture is only a secret technique to temporarily enhance my strength, but I have a more suitable secret technique to enhance my strength. This Desolation Pearl is like a chicken rib to me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong nodded slightly, put away the two Desolate Beads, and then turned around with Xiao Yan to face the sky and ground not far away, looking at the sea of ​​people.

"Hey, did you succeed or not? Give me an answer!"

In the distance, a girl with a black ponytail stepped forward, her hands on her slender waist, and her clear, sweet voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Junior Sister Huanhuan is right, give us an answer!" After Ying Huanhuan finished speaking, the crowd became excited, and their eyes became even more fervent as they looked at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

"cough……"

Just as Lin Dong coughed lightly, preparing to unleash the Great Desolation Scripture and let everyone experience the birth of this first extraordinary scripture of the Dao Sect, Xiao Yan chuckled and uttered two words:

"lucky."

Chapter 298 Owl Sound Array

Night enveloped the earth, and cool moonlight poured down from the sky, shining through the massive protective array in the distant sky, covering the many mountains of the Dao Sect like a thin veil.

In a quiet house, a young figure sat cross-legged.

More than a month has passed since Xiao Yan and Lin Dong demonstrated the Great Desolation Scripture to the Dao Sect disciples. In this month, apart from the sects near the Dao Sect coming to pay their respects and then choosing Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, only to suffer several defeats and leave in disgrace, the most important thing was the Palace Examination, which determined the ranking of the four major halls of the Dao Sect.

On the day the palace examination began, Wang Yan, the younger brother of the previous Heavenly Palace Senior Sister, returned to the Dao Sect. Originally, with his strength at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm, he was very likely to win first place in this Dao Sect palace examination and then lead the Dao Sect disciples to fight against the Yuan Sect in the sect competition.

But, who can blame them when Ying Xiaoxiao has recently broken through to the Life Profound Realm?

Thus, the Heavenly Palace still won first place in this imperial examination. The second and third place winners were Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, who "barely" defeated Wang Yan after using the Great Desolation Scripture.

Although most of the Dao Sect disciples wanted to witness the battle between Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, the two, who had little interest in acting, almost simultaneously announced their defeat. The Palace Masters had no choice but to let the two play rock-paper-scissors to "determine the winner".

"call--"

After temporarily breaking free from his cultivation state, Xiao Yan let out a long breath and then turned his gaze toward the door.

Knock knock knock

Almost at the same time that Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the door, a series of urgent knocks sounded, followed by Ying Huanhuan's clear voice, "Xiao Yan, you're not asleep yet?"

After Xiao Yan comprehended the Great Desolation Scripture, Ying Huanhuan "forgave" him for forcibly stuffing the Immortal Essence Fruit into her hands. After the palace examination, she even thanked Xiao Yan. After all, if Ying Xiaoxiao had not become a Shengxuan Realm cultivator, she would most likely have been defeated by Wang Yan, who had rich combat experience.

As a token of gratitude, Ying Huanhuan came to Xiao Yan's room on the night the palace examination ended and handed over the prize that only the top scorer of the palace examination received: the opportunity to find a treasure in the Dao Sect's treasury.

Xiao Yan naturally accepted the gift without hesitation. After all, ever since he started preparing to refine the eighth-grade pill, the demon crystal of the Reincarnation Realm demon beast that had been stored in the Dao Sect's treasury for who knows how long had become his target.

For the next two days, Xiao Yan behaved much better. However, this was mainly because there were no suitable missions to leave the sect during those two days. If there had been missions that required going to deserted places, Xiao Yan would have accepted them long ago and gone out to refine pills.

"Even if I was asleep, you woke me up at this hour!" After getting out of bed and opening the door, Xiao Yan looked at the girl in front of him and asked helplessly, "What is it now?"

"Hehe, didn't you ask me the other day if there were any sect missions that required going to sparsely populated places?" Ying Huanhuan chuckled as she looked at Xiao Yan's helpless expression and asked in return.

"The sect is preparing to issue this kind of mission?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up instantly. He had been waiting for this day for far too long!

'Eighth-grade, two-colored elixir, here I come!'

“Yes, the Heavenly Palace will post this kind of mission first thing tomorrow morning,” Ying Huanhuan said with a smile, looking at Xiao Yan. “The requirement is to work in pairs, the mission destination is the mountains in the far north of the Eastern Xuan Region, and the requirement is to investigate the anomalies in the spiritual energy there…”
