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

If possible, the shadowy figure wanted to go there on its own, but the array standing above the Otherworldly Demon Realm was too terrifying. Beings like them would activate the array as soon as they approached that area.

After that formation is activated, even with their strength, they could all potentially be defeated.

"Hehe, it's quite lively over there now, those three dogs are of no use..." the man said with a faint smile.

“…Yes, I will let him go.” After a moment of silence, the shadowy figure whispered.

“Tell him that the Demon Prison does not welcome losers…”

After saying his last words, the man in black slowly lay back down, closed his eyes again, and let the coffin float quietly on the dark river.

……

"You are awake!"

The moment Xiao Yan opened his eyes, he heard a clear voice in his ear, "Do you remember what happened? Do you remember who you are?"

Ying Huanhuan, who was making witty remarks, appeared in Xiao Yan's line of sight.

Xiao Yan blinked in confusion, then turned his head and looked around—Lin Dong, Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan, many Dao Sect disciples whose names he vaguely remembered, and four dried-up corpses in the distance…

"Shall we collect those few Life Profound Bone Beads first?" Under the concerned gazes of everyone, Xiao Yan let out a long breath, forced a smile, and said.

The Life Profound Bone Pearl is a precious treasure formed from the lingering life force within the body of a powerful cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection or Perfection of the Life Profound Realm. It holds unparalleled appeal for those in the Nirvana Realm.

"I was just about to collect it when you woke up," Lin Dong said with a smile, relieved to see that Xiao Yan seemed to be fine except for his pale face. "I was starting to wonder if you woke up after seeing the Life Profound Bone Pearl!"

call out!

However, just as the Dao Sect members were about to make their move, an extremely piercing sword cry suddenly rang out from afar. Then, a dazzling sword light surged and appeared in the sky above where Xiao Yan and the others were at an astonishing speed.

"People from the Sword Sect?" Ying Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes as she looked at the light sword that suddenly appeared.

In mid-air, the sword light gradually dimmed, revealing a large number of people. At the very front, a man in gray was smiling as he looked down at the Dao Sect members. Then, his gaze shifted and fixed intensely on the withered corpse on the brown rock deep underground.

Looking at the Dao Sect members again, especially Ying Xiaoxiao, the gray-robed man's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said with a smile, "I am Xue Ling from the Sword Sect. My friend from the Dao Sect, how about we peacefully divide this Life Profound Bone Pearl?"

Looking at Xue Ling in the sky, Ying Xiaoxiao pondered. She didn't want to clash with the disciples of the Sword Sect here, after all, the relationship between the Dao Sect and the Yuan Sect was extremely bad, and if she were to antagonize other sects as well...

laugh!

However, there was no need for Ying Xiaoxiao to answer. Dozens of black beams of light shot from afar, and in an instant, more than half of the Sword Sect disciples were killed or injured.

"What was that..." After hastily dodging the dozens of black beams of light, Xue Ling turned around with bloodshot eyes—

Dozens of skeletons with blood-red eyes appeared in Xue Ling's field of vision.

Although those dozens of skeletons also contained Life-Giving Bone Pearls, Xue Ling was terrified at that moment, exclaiming, "Demon Corpses?!"

Chapter 310 The Emperor Among the Otherworldly Demons

In the Otherworldly Demon Realm, there are many powerful figures who perished in the ancient war. After their deaths, their corpses were corrupted by the demonic energy of the Otherworldly Demon Realm and transformed into demonic corpses that are no different from monsters. Although these demonic corpses are not as strong as they were in life, they still have considerable combat power. These withered bones are the demonic corpses that Xue Ling mentioned.

The strength of those dozen or so demonic corpses that previously attacked the Sword Sect, causing the deaths and injuries of most of its disciples...

At the peak of the Life Profound Realm, let alone the disciples of super sects present, even the elders of their respective sects might not be a match for these demonic corpses. After all, these demonic corpses have no concept of injury; once they start killing, they will not stop until they are completely unable to move.

"Let's go! Forget about those Life-Generating Bone Pearls!"

Although the Life Profound Bone Beads are quite rare, with over a dozen demonic corpses at the peak of the Life Profound Realm now appearing, let alone obtaining them from the withered bones of those slowly opening their eyes—clearly also demonic corpses—it's questionable whether everyone can escape safely!

"go!"

If it weren't for these dozen or so demonic corpses at the peak of the Life Profound Realm, Ying Xiaoxiao might have reconsidered her relationship with the Sword Sect and joined forces to obtain the initial four Life Profound Bone Beads.

But reality doesn't offer so many "what ifs," so Ying Xiaoxiao waved her hand without hesitation and, together with many Dao Sect disciples, burst forth, flying away into the distance.

As the Daoist disciples leaped up, melodious music once again resounded, repelling the surging swarm of ants.

"One person controlling two... there's something wrong with those dozen or so demonic corpses!" The moment they took off, Xiao Yan's voice reached Lin Dong's ears. "Their condition seems more like they're being controlled by demonic energy!"

"Are you sure?" As he replied, Lin Dong attached his mental energy to two normal demonic corpses that had just gotten up, and after controlling them, he flew towards the dozen or so demonic corpses in the sky.

"I'm absolutely certain!" Xiao Yan's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Perhaps it was a gift received after the soul left the array space; all the Dao Sect disciples around, including Lin Dong, appeared to Xiao Yan as mere clusters of Yuan energy. The four demonic corpses underground were alive, while the dozen or so in the sky...

The evil and chilling demonic energy was not much different from the demonic energy on the arm that Xiao Yan saw in the array space!

"Senior Brother Xue, the people from the Dao Sect have left!"

In mid-air, the surviving Sword Sect disciples were stunned when they saw the Dao Sect's forces leave without hesitation, and turned their gazes to Xue Ling, who was drenched in cold sweat.

"I know!" Xue Ling shouted. At this moment, his mental state was extremely unstable. After all, in his perception, the empty eyes of the dozen or so demonic corpses at the peak of the Life Profound Realm were staring at him, as if he was the only one who needed to be killed.

"You guys go first!" After the four demonic corpses underground slowly rose, Xue Ling finally gritted his teeth and shouted, "These ghostly things have their eyes on me..."

Before he could finish speaking, four demonic corpses, slowly rising from the ground, looked over with their crimson eyes. Then, they all took flight and stood between the Sword Sect disciple and the dozen or so demonic corpses.

"...Go, go quickly!"

The sudden change stunned Xue Ling for a moment, then he was overjoyed. He turned around and led the nearby Sword Sect disciples to retreat immediately.

"Senior Brother Xue, those four..." On the way back, a disciple turned around and looked at the demonic corpses that were fighting with more than a dozen demonic corpses. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Stop thinking about it! Who knows what's wrong with those four demonic corpses!" Xue Ling, who knew his junior brother's personality very well, interrupted him. "Besides, who knows what happened to those four demonic corpses? They're already incredibly lucky to be alive. If you want to reap the benefits, go ahead and do it yourself!"

Xue Ling had already prepared to sacrifice himself to give his junior brothers a chance to escape. Although he didn't know the situation of the four demonic corpses at the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm, he didn't intend to go back and risk his life after escaping with his life.

"Okay." After shrinking back, the disciple finally stopped dreaming.

Amidst the dark wasteland, streaks of rainbow light flashed by, and some people's gazes occasionally swept back.

"They didn't catch up... I'm really lucky." After glancing back again, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, and said thankfully.

"Why did more than a dozen demonic corpses at the peak of the Life Profound Realm suddenly appear?" Ying Xiaoxiao also slowed down.

"Perhaps... it's just bad luck." Lin Dong smiled bitterly as he controlled four demonic corpses at the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm, buying time for the Dao Sect disciples to escape.

"I've been targeted by those dozen or so demonic corpses. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll catch up with me soon."

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that they hadn't been targeted by those demonic corpses, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up, "You guys go first, I'll stay here to deal with them."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Before Ying Huanhuan could recover from the shock of Xiao Yan being targeted by those demonic corpses, she heard the second half of Xiao Yan's sentence, "Those dozen or so demonic corpses are equivalent to a dozen or so experts at the peak of the Life Profound Realm!"

Although it was unclear why Xiao Yan said he was being targeted by those demonic corpses, Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan also spoke up to persuade him. After all, in their view, although Xiao Yan's combat power was not weak, those demonic corpses were something that even the four palace masters dared not say they could handle!

“I have a few formations that are not suitable for use in situations with many people,” Xiao Yan said slowly after listening to everyone’s advice. “It is still possible to temporarily trap them and remove their lock on me.”

“Then I’ll stay and help…” Ying Huanhuan said directly.

“I’d better stay,” Lin Dong interrupted Ying Huanhuan. “After the palace examination, the sect leader gave me the Stasis Token from the treasure vault. With the Stasis Token, trapping someone for a moment shouldn’t be a problem.”

The Stillness Token is a magical treasure made in imitation of the Stillness Token, a divine object of heaven and earth. Although it is a replica, its grade can still surpass 99% of Heaven-Rank magical treasures, and it is only one step away from being a Pure Yuan Treasure.

Clearly, Ying Huanhuan and the others had some understanding of the effects of the Stillness Token, and their previously anxious expressions relaxed slightly.

"How large is the coverage area of ​​your arrays?" Ying Xiaoxiao asked after a moment's thought.

“If you don’t want to be affected… it’s best to stay at least a thousand feet away,” Xiao Yan said after a pause. “They’re coming, you should leave quickly!” Then he turned around sharply and looked at the dozen or so small black dots that were slowly growing larger in the sky.

"Send a signal as soon as you need help!" After leaving these words, Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan led the remaining Dao Sect disciples to quickly retreat.

Although Ying Huanhuan wanted to say a few more words, she finally followed obediently under Ying Xiaoxiao's urging.

After the Dao Sect disciples had left to a certain distance, an array appeared beneath Xiao Yan's feet and gradually expanded to about a hundred feet.

"...Is this the Qiankun Ancient Formation?" After carefully examining the formation beneath his feet, Lin Dong suddenly asked.

“This formation is the most effective for dealing with the alien demons,” Xiao Yan said slowly as he watched the dozen or so demonic corpses getting closer and closer. “Moreover… I need to erase the mark that thing left on my body.”

"That thing?" After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Dong realized, "Was your previous unconsciousness due to the influence of the Otherworldly Demon?"

“That’s right,” Xiao Yan said with a wry smile. “Although that thing is sealed under this great formation, it can still affect the formation to some extent. For example, it can drag someone who can understand the formation to a certain extent into the formation’s illusion and leave a mark on their body…”

Although he had to control two demonic corpses to stop the dozen or so alien demonic corpses during the evacuation, Xiao Yan still managed to find the strange mark left in his body.

Although the mark currently has no effect on Xiao Yan's body except for emitting special fluctuations, those dozen or so alien demon corpses were undoubtedly attracted by this mark.

"Do you need any help?" Lin Dong could already see the empty eye sockets of the dozen or so alien demon corpses, but he didn't feel nervous at all and just asked calmly.

"The Reversal of Heaven and Earth Ancient Formation should be able to erase that mark," the Ancient Formation beneath their feet had begun to slowly operate, albeit in a reversed manner. "Just make a little noise to let them know that a battle is taking place here."

Beams of light, imbued with indescribable and peculiar fluctuations, burst forth from the ancient Qiankun Formation beneath their feet, then slammed into the dozen or so alien demon corpses flying towards them at an astonishing speed.

Chi Chi!

The beam of light struck the demonic corpse, and its eerie black skin instantly disintegrated at an astonishing speed. The wisps of strange demonic energy also rapidly detached from the corpse, and then…

It darted into Xiao Yan's body at a speed that Xiao Yan couldn't react to at all, and then instantly surged into the mark that had only been emitting special fluctuations until now.

Perhaps it's just my imagination, or perhaps it really is like that...

In short, the moment these strange demonic energies entered Xiao Yan's body, he actually sensed an aura of "nobility" emanating from them, as if the strange demonic energies he had seen before were those of commoners, while these few strands of strange demonic energies were those of royalty.

The aura of these "noble" demonic energies vanished in an instant. Before the mark could react, Xiao Yan moved the little fox's true form from his dantian to the vicinity of the mark, tightly sealing off the demonic energy it emitted. At the same time, the Qiankun Ancient Formation beneath his feet rapidly shrank and then disappeared into his body. Without affecting the circulation of the surrounding Yuan energy, he sealed the little fox's true form and the mark that had shown signs of abnormality together.

Within his body, the Qiankun Ancient Array reversed, and the beams of decomposing light transformed into threads, trapping the mark while gradually eroding the demonic energy emanating from it.

"What happened?" Lin Dong finally snapped out of his daze and stared at Xiao Yan with a serious expression.

"I think I know who the arm sealed by this great formation belongs to..." As the strange fire and the refining fire seal simultaneously eroded the demonic energy within his body, Xiao Yan chuckled dryly and said, "The Emperor... I never expected that there would be an Emperor among these demonic beings..."

"Emperor?" After confirming that Xiao Yan was still rational, Lin Dong muttered the word Xiao Yan had just said with some confusion.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan raised his hand, creating the illusion of a fierce battle raging around him, with the array constantly in operation and friend or foe indistinguishable. He then spoke, "The moment I entered the Demon Realm, I was pulled into the illusionary space of this sealing array by that arm..."

Xiao Yan recounted in detail what he had seen and heard earlier. Before long, he finished explaining the suppression formed by the countless illusory images of spiritual treasures, some broken and some intact, as well as the pale arm at the very center of the formation, which was sealed off from all movement by the aura emanating from the arm.

"...Before entering the Demon Realm, didn't the Palace Master and the others say that this formation developed holes due to the erosion of time?" After saying this, Xiao Yan sighed, "I suspect... these holes were left by the Demons still active in the outside world. Perhaps at the beginning they only left shallow traces, but after the passage of time, those traces gradually expanded into holes that could be entered at specific times..."

The Great Wilderness Sect's ordeal, the traces of the alien demons mentioned by Moro, in the Chaotic Demon Sea...

All signs indicate that after the ancient war between heaven and earth, the demonic beings still roam this world. Perhaps this formation is flawless without human interference, but that possibility is too small. Moreover, if this great formation truly seals the emperor among the demonic beings, those "stranded" demonic beings would surely have noticed this place...

"So, the development of the Otherworldly Demon Realm is, to some extent, destroying this great formation?" Lin Dong's scalp tingled. "Could it be that traces left by the Otherworldly Demons are everywhere? Why do I always seem to encounter them...?"

“Maybe they really are everywhere,” Xiao Yan said with a wry smile. “A great war of heaven and earth that affected all living beings…maybe even the ancestral land of the Heavenly Demon Sable has a sealing array of the alien demons.”

From the Great Wilderness Sect to the ancient battlefield, from the Dao Sect to the Otherworldly Demon Realm...

Every area that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong traversed bore traces of the Otherworldly Demons, either as seals or spaces destroyed by them. Moreover, without exception, every seal had malfunctioned. If left unattended, the seals would break in as little as three to ten years, allowing the sealed Otherworldly Demons to escape and destroy everything around them.

"...I don't want to think about these things anymore," Lin Dong shook his head with a wry smile, shaking off his worries. "Do you need any help?" he asked Xiao Yan earnestly.

"I'll borrow the prototype of the Qiankun Ancient Formation's array plate for a moment..." Feeling the speed at which the demonic energy in his body was disappearing, Xiao Yan sighed and said, "Even if I leave this Demonic Domain on my own, I might not be able to clean up all of this stuff."
