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

Sensing the familiar aura of the location of the Otherworldly Demon Realm, the old man gasped. He then recalled the rumors from a few years ago about someone in the Eastern Xuan Realm possessing the aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, though he wondered if they were true...

"However, my disciple is not bad either!" The old man quickly put these thoughts out of his mind. After all, he had found the most satisfactory disciple.

"I just don't know how to get this girl to inherit my mantle..." However, the old man's smile didn't last long. Although he was very satisfied with his disciple, the fact that she was unwilling to inherit his mantle still made him a little depressed.

……

Before the vast plain, the distorted space suddenly rippled like water, and a terrifying fluctuation emanated from the distorted space.

The crowd on the plains stirred once more because of this turn of events. The feud between the Dao Sect and the Yuan Sect was forgotten; countless burning gazes were focused on the incredibly distorted space—

Those who have come here are all people who have some understanding of the Otherworldly Demon Realm. Everyone knows that this is a sign that the Otherworldly Demon Realm is about to open!

A terrifying fluctuation spread across the heavens and earth at an astonishing speed, and the spatial barrier standing between heaven and earth in the distance became increasingly distorted. Faintly, it seemed that one could see through the distorted space the abnormally dark earth within, and a cold and gloomy fluctuation emanated from it.

Is it time to start?

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong both stared intently at the distorted space. For them, that cold, dark energy was all too familiar…

"When we enter the Otherworldly Demon Realm later, our auras must be connected, otherwise we will be teleported away and separated." Ying Xiaoxiao looked at the increasingly distorted space in the distance, then turned around and said with a solemn expression.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the many disciples of the Dao Sect responded in deep voices.

Buzz!

The space in the distance was also distorted to the extreme at this moment, and then the space suddenly exploded, and a spatial vortex instantly condensed into shape.

Swish!

The instant the spatial vortex took shape, the sound of wind breaking tore through the sky, and countless figures, like locusts, swept out and plunged into the spatial vortex.

Chapter 309 The Pale Hand

After the spatial vortex formed, the disciples of those super sects also set off.

However, compared to the chaotic crowd around them, their actions were much more orderly—

A surge of immense Yuan energy roared forth, enveloping all the disciples of their respective sects, and finally transforming into a vast expanse of rainbow light that plunged into the spatial vortex.

"Let's set off too." Ying Xiaoxiao stepped forward, her soft voice ringing in the ears of every Dao Sect disciple.

"Yes!"

Accompanied by a unified shout, powerful energy surged from the bodies of the disciples, then slowly merged into a ball of light that enveloped everyone.

"Walk."

Ying Xiaoxiao waved her hand and took the lead, her figure shooting out rapidly. Behind her, Ying Huanhuan, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Wang Yan, and a large number of Dao Sect disciples immediately followed.

All the Dao Sect disciples were enveloped in a dense rainbow light, appearing as a single entity. Finally, under the watchful eyes of many, they plunged into the swirling spatial vortex and vanished completely.

Even after the Dao Sect disciples entered the Otherworldly Demon Realm, a continuous stream of people surged into the spatial vortex, and the sound of wind breaking through the air echoed across the plains.

……

Blackness spread across the land, extending to the horizon, seemingly staining even the sky. Everything around was extremely gloomy, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

This was also a dark wasteland, with countless weapons scattered haphazardly on the ground—some intact, some broken, and some even shattered into pieces. Everything before Xiao Yan's eyes served as a stark reminder of this—

This land once witnessed an extremely fierce battle.

"Is this... really the Otherworldly Demon Realm?" Xiao Yan frowned as he stood amidst countless weapons.

After entering the Otherworldly Demon Realm, most people will be randomly teleported to various edge areas of the Otherworldly Demon Realm by the spatial vortex. That is why the auras of all the disciples of the Dao Sect are closely linked before entering the Otherworldly Demon Realm, so as not to be separated by this random teleportation.

But now Xiao Yan is the only one here. There are no disciples of the Dao Sect around him. In fact, even when his spiritual power is expanded to the limit, he still cannot sense any human presence.

It was as if Xiao Yan was the only living being in this world.

His tiny figure stood in this vast world, and everything around him was so strange. There was even a chilling aura that tried to seep into Xiao Yan's body, trying to assimilate him into everything around him. This feeling made Xiao Yan feel like he couldn't breathe.

Therefore, subconsciously, Xiao Yan asked softly in his heart, "Teacher, have you noticed anything?"

Time passed second by second, but Yao Lao's voice never rang out, as if it didn't exist.

Xiao Yan raised his head and glanced around. "A trap? Or... a test?"

Unable to find any answers, after all, before entering this strange world, all Xiao Yan had done was follow Ying Xiaoxiao and rush into the spatial vortex, just like all the other Dao Sect disciples.

"call……"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and then his eyes gradually hardened. No matter where he was, he had to move forward and find a way to leave!

In the dim world, Xiao Yan strode forward.

……

call out!

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared in the dim sky, and then numerous lights and shadows burst out from the cracks, breaking the desolation and silence of this world in just a few seconds.

Amidst the countless cracks, a large burst of rainbow light suddenly shot out, eventually landing slowly on the ground. As the light dissipated, hundreds of figures were revealed, namely the three hundred Dao Sect disciples led by Ying Xiaoxiao.

"What's wrong with him?" After looking around and confirming that there was no danger, Ying Xiaoxiao turned back to look at Xiao Yan, who was leaning against Lin Dong with his eyes closed and sweat pouring down his forehead, and asked.

"...His mental strength is in an unstable state," Lin Dong, who was supporting Xiao Yan, frowned. "It seems that he was attacked the moment he entered the spatial vortex."

Apart from fluctuations in his mental energy, Xiao Yan's Yuan energy was not depleted at all, and even his aura remained stable. Generally speaking, this would indicate that he was trapped in an illusion.

but……

Xiao Yan's spiritual power was only one step away from the legendary Talisman Sect. Even if the leaders of the two super sects, the Divine Sect and the Talisman Valley, personally took action, they might not be able to trap Xiao Yan in an illusion for such a long time, let alone do so without anyone noticing anything unusual.

"...Don't rush on your way," Ying Xiaoxiao said after a moment of furrowing her brows, "Wait for Xiao Yan...Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stomped his right foot hard on the ground. A surge of powerful Yuan energy swept out, directly creating a crack in the ground. Beneath that crack, dozens of ferocious monsters, their bodies pitch black and covered with sharp black spikes, opened their blood-red giant eyes.

As Ying Xiaoxiao discovered the monster hidden underground, the surrounding earth collapsed, and countless sharp, giant black spikes pierced through the ground, heading straight for the Dao Sect disciples who were slightly panicked by the collapse of the earth.

Although some people were a little flustered, most disciples reacted quickly, immediately unleashing a powerful surge of Yuan energy to block all the black spikes shooting out from the ground.

Then, the Dao Sect disciples, their faces pale, saw that from the collapsed underground, one after another, black-bodied monsters with giant scarlet eyes surged out like a tide.

"The Demon Ant... it's really unlucky..."

Even Lin Dong's expression turned somewhat grim upon seeing the massive number of black monsters.

Xiao Yan's encounter with troublesome creatures immediately upon entering the Demon Realm, coupled with these two separate events, led Lin Dong to suspect that Lei Qian might have already made contact with the Demons sealed beneath the surface...

……

Perhaps I have entered that formation.

After flying over the wasteland for a while, Xiao Yan suddenly had a thought. Although he didn't know why he couldn't contact Yao Lao, among the endless weapons scattered on the ground, he saw something that looked somewhat familiar—

The giant furnace that Lin Dong found in the treasure hunting area, the token that resembled the stillness tablet in the Dao Sect's treasury, and even something that vaguely resembled the Great Desolation Stele...

'Could it be... that what's sealed away by that massive array is ahead?'

The spiritual energy ahead was blocked, seemingly reaching its end. With a bad feeling in his heart, Xiao Yan swallowed hard, not really wanting to move forward.

However, the path of retreat was also restricted, which meant that even if what lay ahead was exactly as Xiao Yan had imagined, he only had one path to take at this moment: forward.

'Perhaps I was wrong.' After licking his chapped lips, Xiao Yan finally continued forward.

……

"Has Xiao Yan not woken up yet?"

After all, they were magical beasts with extremely weak spiritual power. Under Ying Huanhuan's control of the Formless Bodhi Sound, the surging waves of demonic ants were quickly dealt with by the Dao Sect disciples.

However, even after the last demonic ant was killed, Xiao Yan kept his eyes closed and showed no sign of opening them.

Even more so, the color drained from Xiao Yan's face, as if he had suffered a severe injury.

"It should be soon..." Lin Dong frowned. "It should be soon..."

……

It was a huge arm.

The large hand was unusually pale, and even looked somewhat weak. However, beneath this eerie weakness lay a chilling aura.

"An...arm?" Standing beside a strange stone talisman's illusory image, Xiao Yan stared blankly at the enormous arm in the center. "This formation...is it just to seal this arm?"

During this time, Xiao Yan gained a full understanding of those shattered weapons... or rather, spiritual treasures—their function was to assist this formation in order to ensure that the formation's power would not diminish, and to seal this arm forever.

The strange stone talisman beside Xiao Yan might be a phantom of the legendary number one ancient divine artifact.

The moment Xiao Yan's gaze shifted to the strange stone talisman phantom beside him, a completely black eye suddenly opened on the pale arm within the formation, its violent pupils staring intently at Xiao Yan's body.

The icy aura instantly locked onto Xiao Yan. Under the sudden eruption of overwhelming demonic energy, Xiao Yan's body froze completely, and he could only watch out of the corner of his eye as the demonic energy gradually spread towards his location...

"Alas..." The sigh seemed to come from ancient times.

The moment that sigh rang out, the illusory image of the stone talisman beside Xiao Yan suddenly trembled. Then, a strange energy seeped out from the illusory image and enveloped Xiao Yan before the demonic energy could touch him.

Then, a flash of silver light appeared, and Xiao Yan's figure disappeared from the spot. The demonic energy that had been spreading out seemed to have encountered something thorny and suddenly retracted.

The black eyes on the pale arm also suddenly closed.

Everything returned to normal, as if Xiao Yan had never appeared and nothing had changed.

……

In a place filled with demonic energy, a handsome man wearing a black robe with gold patterns on the edges suddenly opened his eyes, then slowly got up and looked up at the sky.

"You've recovered?" A dark figure appeared beside the man after he stood up.

“Not yet,” the man shook his head, paused for a moment, and then said, “Someone has touched His Majesty’s arm.”

"Ice Master? Or Fire Master?" The shadowy figure asked, his brows furrowed.

“A little bug,” the man said calmly, “…Still no news of Lao Jiu?” He turned his head to look at the dark figure beside him.

"No, they've probably had their news blocked by some powerful clan in the Demon Realm," the shadowy figure sneered. "They couldn't even handle a Devouring Ancestral Symbol user who hadn't even reached the Reincarnation Realm yet. If we hadn't never heard from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol again, the information about the Demon Prison wouldn't have been leaked..."

“After all, it’s a Devouring Ancestral Symbol,” the man said, unlike the shadowy figure who was indignant. “Old Ninth did a pretty good job… Let’s send someone to check on the Otherworldly Demon Realm.”

"...Is it necessary?" the shadowy figure asked, puzzled.

"Better safe than sorry," the man said with a faint smile. "Even if the fate of this world is already decided, we can't be too careless... Let Old Ten go."

Upon hearing the man's last sentence, the shadowy figure paused slightly. "Ten... that great formation hasn't failed yet, has it? Isn't it too risky to let it pass? There's a dog in the Eastern Xuan Region; we can just let them pass, right?"
