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

After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhen gave up on explaining. He mobilized his internal energy and, together with Qi Lei and the others, prepared to fight back. He was quite curious to see what kind of expression Qi Lei would have when he discovered that the opponent who was waiting in full battle was actually one of their own.

"Get moving!"

Having borne most of the pressure emanating from the little ferret, after a few seconds, the old man finally waved his hand and roared, seemingly genuinely regarding the little ferret as their helper.

Upon hearing the old man's command, the other seven mobilized their inner energy, their eyes filled with killing intent as they stared intently at Qi Lei and his companions...

"Ha! You old dogs, you really want to make a move? Don't you know who you are!"

Just before the great battle was about to break out, Xiao Diao laughed unrestrainedly. At the same time, he clenched his right palm, and the violent Yuan power squeezed and distorted the space, trapping the eight leaders of the Yuan Sect.

Faced with this sudden change, not to mention the eight members of Yuanmen, even Qi Lei and the others who had been helped were completely bewildered—wait, were you being sarcastic with your tone earlier?

"Dao Sect disciples, step back!" Qi Lei and the other two were stunned, but Chen Zhen was not. Taking advantage of the moment when the eight people opposite him were unable to make a move, he shouted loudly.

Although she didn't know why Xiao Diao had suddenly become so strong, Ying Huanhuan, having seen him, immediately grabbed Ying Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yan's arms, preparing to leave the chaotic center with the other Dao Sect disciples.

"You two go first," Xiao Yan said with a smile, pulling his arm away from Ying Huan who was turning her head in a daze. "This is something we two caused, so we have to be witnesses."

“But…” Ying Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat, and she spoke subconsciously.

"Be careful, there are still many powerful figures from the Yuan Sect in this Demon City!" Seeing the eight members of the Yuan Sect who were easily defeated by Xiao Diao and coughed up blood in just a few seconds, as if they had been seriously injured, Ying Xiaoxiao raised her hand to interrupt Ying Huanhuan, gave her a word of advice, and then forcefully led Ying Huanhuan away from this dangerous place.

"You two..." Chen Zhen frowned slightly, looking at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong with some confusion, and finally sighed helplessly, "Hide behind us for a while. This time, Yuan Sect has sent dozens of elders and deacons to the sect competition!"

Looking at Chen Zhen blocking his way, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong, who was being protected by Qi Lei, could naturally understand Xiao Yan's helplessness at this moment.

"Don't be so smug!"

Of the eight tribal leaders controlled by Little Marten, one managed to raise his head and glare at Little Marten, "You've offended our Yuan Sect! There will be no place for you to live in peace in the Eastern Xuan Region! We are no match for you, but our Yuan Sect has countless experts..."

"Shut up!" Little Marten's eyes turned cold as he transformed his palm into a blade, slashing at the eight people with an extremely sharp force, clearly intending to kill them all.

The eight people trapped in the sky could only watch helplessly as the palm strike descended upon them like lightning—

"Ugh--"

A sigh echoed from the sky, and then the space in front of the eight Yuanmen members suddenly distorted. A slender, fair hand emerged from within it.

clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the eight members of the Yuan Sect actually managed to save their lives from Xiao Diao's palm strike!

"Heh, finally couldn't hold back?" Little Marten showed no surprise at having her palm strike blocked. She simply stared coldly at the distorted space in front of the eight people and sneered.

"Since when did the Heavenly Demon Sable dare to appear in my Eastern Xuan Region? It even casually kills my Yuan Sect elders... You are far too disrespectful to my Yuan Sect."

A faint laugh slowly emanated from the distorted space, and then everyone saw a figure slowly step out from the distorted space.

The moment this figure appeared, the entire world seemed to darken, and an invisible wave emanated from it, causing all the weaker members of the Demon City to kneel down.

The entire city fell silent. All the experts, regardless of their origin, had tense faces and stared with solemn and horrified eyes at the figure in the sky wearing a purple-gold robe with skin as delicate as a baby's.

"That is……"

In the distance, the elders of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace gasped as they watched the figure emerge from the sky.

"One of the three leaders of the Yuan Sect... Ren Yuanzi!"

The deathly silence lasted for a long time. Finally, some suppressed voices of shock quietly emerged. No one expected that Ren Yuanzi, one of the top experts in the Eastern Xuan Region, would appear here.

In the sky, the expressions of Qi Lei and his companions turned extremely grim. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unease. Facing a powerhouse of Ren Yuanzi's caliber, what the four of them could do was actually not much different from what Xiao Yan and Lin Dong could do...

'Something's wrong, something's very wrong...' Looking at Ren Yuanzi emerging from the spatial realm, Xiao Yan's expression darkened. 'Less than three years have passed, and he actually...'

Several years ago, when Xiao Yan was scavenging Nirvana Pills in the Eastern Xuan Region and accidentally provoked the Yuan Sect, he was ambushed by Ren Yuanzi. At that time, he was very certain that Ren Yuanzi's strength was at most equivalent to a three-star Dou Zun.

However, less than three years have passed, and the intensity of the aura emanating from this Ren Yuanzi is already no weaker than that of a five-star Dou Zun!

'Something's wrong with the Yuan energy within him…' the old apothecary's voice slowly rang out. 'Do you remember the first elder of the Yuan Sect you killed? Before he died, he used demonic energy to increase his Yuan energy several times over, briefly reaching the level of the Death Profound Realm…'

'The state of Yuan Qi within that person's body is similar to that of Ren Yuanzi, the only difference perhaps being that that person's strength was a temporary boost, while Ren Yuanzi... his strength is already fixed, and even... this is after he suppressed it!'

"So that means..." Xiao Yan clenched his fists, "if he were to use the Demonic Energy without restraint, his strength would increase even further?"

"At least... he would be at the level of an eight-star Dou Zun!" Yao Lao said solemnly.

Chapter 318 The Five Talismans Breaking the Heaven Seal Reappears

"Sect Leader, we are incompetent and unable to complete the mission!"

While Xiao Yan was pondering Ren Yuanzi's strength, the eight leaders of the Yuan Sect, upon seeing Ren Yuanzi appear, hurriedly knelt down in the sky, looking slightly apprehensive.

"Hehe, it's already quite good that you survived encountering a Heavenly Demon Sable in the Reincarnation Realm."

Ren Yuanzi waved his hand with a faint smile. At the same time, he stared intently at the little sable and said, "You should know about the grudges between the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan and my Yuan Sect. So I'm quite curious, why do you still have the audacity to try to kill people from my Yuan Sect in this Eastern Xuan Region?"

"Kill them if you want, what's there to be afraid of?" Little Marten sneered. "Your Yuan Sect only dares to cower in this Eastern Xuan Region. If you leave here, would you still dare to be so arrogant?"

After Ren Yuanzi appeared, Xiao Diao realized that Ren Yuanzi's strength was now definitely superior to his, but that was all. As a member of the Heavenly Demon Diao clan, even if Ren Yuanzi was now in the Reincarnation Realm, Xiao Diao would not show any sign of yielding.

"Hehe, what you say is true. Let alone the Demon Realm, even the Chaotic Demon Sea... I wouldn't go there easily," Ren Yuanzi chuckled, and as he finished speaking, his gaze passed over the little sable and landed on Xiao Yan. "However, since you've appeared in this Eastern Xuan Region, then you're not leaving..."

The sable's eyes were icy cold, and towering purplish-black flames spread out.

“I can sense that you must have just broken through to the Reincarnation Realm not long ago, and your aura is not yet fully stable…” After turning his gaze away from Xiao Yan, Ren Yuanzi casually looked at the purplish-black flames on the little sable, “Even if there were a few more of you like this, they wouldn’t be a match for me.”

Xiao Diao did not refute Ren Yuanzi's words. Apart from the time he spent as a demon spirit, he had only recently broken through to the Reincarnation Realm, so he was naturally no match for an old monster like Ren Yuanzi.

“Stand quietly to the side. The Eastern Xuan Domain is not a place where you Heavenly Demon Sables can run wild!” Ren Yuanzi smiled faintly, and with his five fingers extended, five beams of light shot out from his fingertips. The beams of light roared and transformed into a prison, clearly intending to trap the little sable completely.

boom!

A massive flame spread out from the sky, finally crashing violently into the five beams of light shot out by Ren Yuanzi, shattering them.

"You think you can get me killed without showing some real skill?" A dangerous smile appeared on Xiao Diao's handsome face, his sharp canines seeming ready to pierce Ren Yuanzi's blood vessels.

"Why do you do this?" Ren Yuanzi shook his head gently, clenched his fist, and instantly, the Yuan energy between heaven and earth gathered at an astonishing speed, finally condensing into a massive crystal finger hundreds of feet long in the sky.

The giant finger was wreathed in terrifying energy fluctuations. This energy was not just pure elemental force; it contained a strong vitality, and beneath that vitality, there surged an extremely deadly death aura.

Two completely different energies are perfectly fused together, and this is the ultimate power that the Reincarnation Realm masters, transcending the Profound Realm of Life and Death.

Staring at the giant crystal finger in the sky, Little Marten's expression grew increasingly solemn. Given the vast difference in strength between him and Ren Yuanzi, he couldn't guarantee that he could withstand this attack unscathed in his human form...

A shrill cry came from the little sable's mouth, and a dense purple-black light swept out from its body. At the same time, its body rapidly expanded, and in just a dozen breaths, a huge beast thousands of feet long appeared in the sky.

The beast was entirely purplish-black in color, with wings spread out, and was thousands of feet in size. Its giant purplish-black eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"Purple-gold demon wings? It seems you're no ordinary Heavenly Demon Sable..." Ren Yuanzi's gaze fell on the little sable's purple-black bat wings, which were shimmering with golden light. "Very well, then use your life to pay off the debts of your Heavenly Demon Sable clan!"

boom!

With a flick of his sleeve, Ren Yuanzi unleashed a giant crystal finger that roared forth like a towering mountain, crashing down upon the massive, thousand-foot-tall Heavenly Demon Sable amidst countless shocked gazes.

'You can go out first in a bit...'

As the little sable in the sky manipulated the overwhelming purple-black flames and fought against Ren Yuanzi, Xiao Yan slowly guided each of the array nodes he had set up, while whispering.

"How much longer do you need?" Lin Dong had no questions about Xiao Yan's arrangements. His only concern was when the formation Xiao Yan had set up before entering the Demon Realm would be activated.

When Ren Yuanzi appeared, Xiao Yan had already told him that Ren Yuanzi's strength was somewhat beyond expectations. If nothing unexpected happened, the strength of Di Yuanzi and Tian Yuanzi would also increase to varying degrees. In fact, the strongest, Tian Yuanzi, had already come close to the Reincarnation Realm without using the power of the Otherworldly Demon...

"Three minutes at most..." A bead of sweat rolled down Xiao Yan's forehead. "By the way, there's some bad news... Tian Yuanzi seems to have noticed the array nodes I set up, but he's too confident in his own strength, so he hasn't directly tried to destroy them... or even intervened."

Just as Xiao Yan had thought, Tian Yuanzi's strength had already reached the level of the Reincarnation Realm. In terms of the Dou Qi Continent, Tian Yuanzi's current strength was between a Nine-Turn Dou Zun and a Half-Saint. If he used the power of the Otherworldly Demon, he would very likely break through that boundary and become a Half-Saint, or even reach the level of a Dou Saint.

'Reincarnation Realm…' Lin Dong's eye twitched violently. 'Can your formation control him? If he uses the power of the Otherworldly Demon.'

'Short-term control shouldn't be a problem,' Xiao Yan thought, feeling his lips were cracking from dryness. 'But if Moro doesn't act in time, things will be terrible…'

With Moro by his side, death is unlikely, but serious injury is inevitable. If he's unlucky, he might even be seriously injured and unconscious for ten days to half a month.

'I hope so…' Lin Dong's lips twitched slightly, then he suddenly looked up at the sky—

It's probably time for him to make his move.

"The Realm of the Seven Emotions!"

Ren Yuanzi stepped into the void and made a gesture with his palm. Suddenly, a vast energy formed by the fusion of life and death swept across the sky and then transformed into a seven-colored light shield thousands of feet in size, completely enveloping the little sable's huge body.

Bang bang bang!

The towering purplish-black flames struck the seven-colored light barrier heavily, but only produced a series of loud noises, completely unable to break through it.

"Heh, this prison is formed by the combined power of countless people's emotions," Ren Yuanzi, who had the upper hand, casually brushed the dust off his clothes and smiled faintly. "Even your emotions are just one of its forces. To break through from within..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ren Yuanzi abruptly turned his head to look at Lin Dong, who had somehow landed on the ground.

A strange wave emanated from him and spread wildly outwards. Then everyone saw that the land began to become barren at an alarming rate.

The earth trembled, and the desolate area spread wildly, engulfing the entire city in just a dozen breaths.

"...The Great Desolation Scripture?" Ren Yuanzi frowned, looking at the scene with some surprise. He had long known that two people in the Dao Sect had comprehended this legendary martial art, but at this moment he was a little confused as to why this kid below, who was not even at the Life Profound Realm, would insist on using it at this moment.

'They wouldn't be trying to use this to interfere in the battle between those at the Reincarnation Realm, would they?' For some reason, Ren Yuanzi suddenly thought of this, then chuckled self-deprecatingly. If the gap between the Nirvana Realm and the Reincarnation Realm could be bridged by a single martial art, then what had been the point of his hundreds of years of cultivation...?

Before the absurd thought had even faded, Ren Yuanzi's eyes widened in astonishment as he watched Lin Dong's aura gradually expand, progressing from the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm to the Perfection of the Life Profound Realm, and then to the Death Profound Realm...

In just a few breaths, Lin Dong's aura completely broke through the barrier of the Life and Death Profound Realm and reached the level of the Reincarnation Realm.

Although Lin Dong's actual strength in a real battle might not match the level of his current aura, there is no doubt that Lin Dong is now capable of intervening in battles between Reincarnation Realm cultivators!

"Is it impossible to break through from within?"

Lin Dong, standing on the ground, raised his head and met Ren Yuanzi's gaze in the sky for a moment before revealing a bright smile. "Then, what if we try to destroy it from the outside?"

Lin slowly raised his right hand, and a small talisman radiating five kinds of light appeared in his hand.

The moment Ren Yuanzi saw the small talisman, his pupils shrank sharply. If his senses were not mistaken... the talisman was actually emitting a rich aura of an ancestral symbol.

"go with!"

Lin Dong had no intention of introducing his move to Yuan Zi, that scoundrel who sided with the Otherworldly Demons. He flicked his right hand, and the small talisman, carrying terrifying energy, hurtled towards the seven-colored light barrier in the sky.

"Don't think about it!"

Ren Yuanzi's face twisted slightly, and he clenched his fist tightly. The immense energy that had merged with the power of life and death roared out into the sky, transforming into a massive black and white seal. Waves of indescribable and terrifying fluctuations emanated wildly from it.

"The Seal of Life and Death!"
