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

"Not very smooth? Are you sure?" Bo Xuan blinked. "Didn't he seem to be controlling the formation quite smoothly before?"

"No, I was referring to what happened after his flames entered the formation..." Moro suddenly looked away, glancing at Bo Xuan. "Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"

In fact, Moro himself was a little confused about what he was thinking. Xiao Yan's flames had merged into the formation very smoothly, but he felt that something was wrong. It was as if... Xiao Yan's flames and the formation were not very compatible. Although he could use the formation, he could not exert its full power.

"You bastard..." Bo Xuan's face twitched violently as he glared fiercely at Moro, who had glanced at him before looking back at the formation.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you." As the aftershocks of the explosion slowly dissipated, Tian Yuanzi appeared opposite Xiao Yan and the other two. Sensing the aura emanating from Tian Yuanzi, Bo Xuan became more serious. "Be careful. If that Tian Yuanzi uses the power of the Otherworldly Demon, he might be able to reach the level of the Reincarnation Realm. If he's even a little slow, these juniors will be dead."

"No need to remind me," Moro replied calmly, his gaze fixed on Tian Yuanzi.

……

"Oh, this one's out too..."

After the initial shock of the array rising from the ground, most people in the Demon City stared blankly at the sixth person appearing in the sky—

Tian Yuanzi, the most mysterious of the three leaders of the Yuan Sect, is said to be the strongest in the Eastern Xuan Region.

"Three Reincarnation Realm cultivators fighting against three Reincarnation Realm cultivators—even if they die, it's worth it!"

"Speaking of which, the sect leader of the Dao Sect hasn't appeared yet... Could it be that he hasn't come?"

"How could that be? They're probably planning to show up after Xiao Yan and the others are about to give up. Adding flowers to brocade is nothing compared to providing charcoal in the snow!"

How do you know that showing up now is just icing on the cake?

"No matter how strong Tian Yuanzi is, he can only fight Xiao Yan to a draw at most, right? Lin Dong, on the other hand, can easily overpower Di Yuanzi!"

Why don't you say that the Heavenly Demon Sable is no match for Ren Yuanzi?

……

Amidst the clamor, Ying Xuanzi looked solemnly at Tian Yuanzi, whose expression remained calm.

"He... has already touched the cycle of reincarnation?" After a moment, Ying Xuanzi turned his head and asked Elder Qian with some difficulty.

“That should be right,” Elder Qian said with some emotion, looking at Tian Yuanzi in the sky. “He’s qualified to challenge the Reincarnation Realm now, isn’t he? As expected of… Yuanmen.”

Elder Qian's mouth was full of bitterness. He thought that Dao Sect had already done a good job by hiding him, a Reincarnation Realm cultivator, but he did not expect that Tian Yuanzi from Yuan Sect had already touched the cycle of reincarnation and was qualified to challenge the highest level in the world.

"Can the two of us stop him?" Ying Xuanzi asked bitterly.

"As long as Tian Yuanzi and the others don't completely break off relations... it should be fine, right?"

Although Xiao Yan's formation is still half-hidden, and Ying Xuanzi and he haven't appeared yet, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong only achieved their Reincarnation Realm combat power by relying on secret techniques. If Tian Yuanzi doesn't intend to reconcile, he only needs to stall until Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's secret techniques are dispelled.

So even if they stand in front of Tian Yuanzi and his group, they might not choose to reconcile, right?

Chapter 320 Taking Turns to Appear (Part 1)

The instant Tian Yuanzi made his move, Xiao Yan realized one thing—

Tian Yuanzi's strength has already crossed that line. If he were in the Dou Qi Continent, he would already be a standard half-saint.

Half-saint.

After confirming this, Xiao Yan's heart trembled violently. If he hadn't known that Moro was inside the Demon City, he might have immediately detonated the Refining Heaven Ancient Array and left with all his acquaintances.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the level of Half-Saint is also known as the Abyss of Despair for all peak Dou Zun experts. The vast majority of experts who reach the peak of Dou Zun will stop at the edge of Half-Saint. No matter how hard they cultivate, they will never be able to take that last step and step into the so-called Half-Saint level.

Only those who reach the level of Half-Saint are qualified to reach the level of Battle Saint.

As Dou Di (Battle Emperor) gradually became legends existing only in history, Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) became the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent. Half-Saint, despite the "half" in his title, was ultimately associated with the Saint, who represented the pinnacle. Therefore, the gap between a Half-Saint and the peak of Dou Zun (Battle Venerable)...

It's probably several times bigger than the gap between a Nine-Star Dou Zun and a Nine-Turn Dou Zun, right?

At least, if there are more than three Nine-Star Dou Zun, they can still severely injure or even kill a Nine-Turn Dou Zun. However, for a Half-Saint, if there are less than ten Nine-Turn Dou Zun, it's just a matter of one slap versus two slaps.

"If needed, feel free to borrow my soul power." After a brief silence, Yao Lao, who had also sensed Tian Yuanzi's strength, said in a deep voice.

Although Xiao Yan was able to suppress Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi with the help of the Refining Heaven Ancient Formation, he could only maintain a stalemate when facing Tian Yuanzi. And the consumption of soul power when stalemate with a powerhouse of this level is extremely terrifying.

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded silently.

*

Tian Yuanzi was unaware of Xiao Yan's apprehension towards him. To him, the pressure from the two fire formations, one above and one below, was terrifying, even causing him to experience a kind of hallucination—

If both fire arrays, one above and one below, were activated simultaneously, they could completely annihilate him!

"Can the two of you hold off that Heavenly Demon Sable and that Lin Dong?" Tian Yuanzi's voice rang in the ears of Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yan and the other two opposite him.

"Restraining him isn't a problem," Ren Yuanzi said, looking at the little sable, "but he does possess the Purple-Gold Demon Wings. If he burns his ancestral runes, I'm afraid only the power of an adult can continue to restrain him..."

Although the statement that "Yuanmen and Tianyao Sable are locked in a life-or-death struggle" was merely Yuanmen's own opinion, the battles between Yuanmen and Tianyao Sable were not uncommon. They were aware of each other's trump cards, and what impressed them most was Tianyao Sable's "Burning Ancestral Mark" that it would always use when fighting to the death.

Once this move is unleashed, even those Heavenly Demon Sables at the Death Profound Realm with golden demon wings could injure or even severely damage Ren Yuanzi, who had just entered the Reincarnation Realm. Not to mention that the Heavenly Demon Sable opposite them is already at the Reincarnation Realm and even possesses the highest-level purple-gold demon wings of the Heavenly Demon Sable clan...

"That kid didn't activate the Qiankun Ancient Formation's array diagram earlier," Di Yuanzi said, his eyes darkening as he stared at Lin Dong. "He might have been able to restrain him without activating the diagram, but it's hard to say what will happen once it's activated. Besides... he didn't unleash the full power of the Great Desolation Scripture."

When Zhou Tong attacked the Shangyuan Sect and was eventually killed by Ren Yuanzi, Di Yuanzi was also present. When Zhou Tong used the Great Desolation Scripture, everything within a hundred miles entered a state of desolation. However, the Great Desolation Scripture that Lin Dong used earlier only enveloped the Otherworldly Demon City.

"So, unless we expose our relationship with the adults, the three of us can't even keep them all here?" Although he knew that neither Ren Yuanzi nor Di Yuanzi were lying, Tian Yuanzi still laughed in anger after hearing their answer. "No wonder they're from the Dao Sect..."

As for why it's not said that Xiao Yan is a member of the Chaotic Demon Sea Flame God Palace...

If Xiao Yan, who possesses the aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, is from the Flame God Palace, then what awaits them in this Otherworldly Demon City today is not these three guys who appeared out of nowhere, but the Palace Master of the Flame God Palace, Moro, the controller of the Flame Ancestral Symbol!

*

Everyone in the Demon City watched nervously as the six people in the sky suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't that all of them had the courage to watch the battle between six experts at the Reincarnation Realm, but the space around the Otherworldly Demon City had suddenly become difficult to control. Even some experts at the Death Profound Realm who had been in the Otherworldly Demon City for several years were unable to escape into the spatial rift and get away from this place.

Flying wasn't restricted, but no one dared to take off. After all, the fire array that had risen from the ground was only a hundred meters away from the city wall of the Demon City. Even experts at the Death Profound Realm couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't be killed or shot down by the energy emanating from the fire array after taking off...

If he were killed, that would be one thing, but if he were shot down... that might be the first Death Profound Realm expert to fall to his death in thousands of years!

*

Xiao Yan and his two companions faced off silently against Tian Yuanzi and his two companions, all six waiting for a signal—a signal to continue the fight…

"move……"

Just as Tian Yuanzi slightly opened his mouth, about to utter the word "make a move," his expression instantly turned ugly—the space in front of Xiao Yan suddenly distorted, and then two figures slowly walked out.

A man dressed in a gray-white robe, with a gentle face, was none other than Ying Xuanzi, the leader of the Daoist sect.

Behind Ying Xuanzi was an old man in a blue robe with white hair and beard... the second Reincarnation Realm expert of the Dao Sect that they had discovered a few years ago, the Dao Sect's Grand Elder, Old Ghost Qian!

"Let's end this matter here... Is that alright?" Ying Xuanzi looked at Tian Yuanzi and said this with a slightly relaxed expression.

"Heh, Ying Xuanzi... and Old Ghost Qian? You two actually have a day when you'd step forward," Tian Yuanzi narrowed his eyes slightly, then said calmly, "However, this ends here..."

My Yuan Sect disciples were all slaughtered by Xiao Yan and Lin Dong of your Dao Sect. Is this something that can be resolved with a simple "That's enough"?

When Ying Xuanzi noticed that Tian Yuanzi didn't show any surprise when he recognized the Grand Elder, his heart sank slightly. In his view, this was Tian Yuanzi, who had already reached the stage of reincarnation, showing that he didn't care about an ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivator at all.

"The sect competition has its own rules. Haven't my Dao Sect suffered enough losses over the years? Everyone knows what your Yuan Sect disciples have done in the sect competition over the years. Has my Dao Sect ever investigated anything?"

However, even if Tian Yuanzi didn't care about the two of them at all, Ying Xuanzi still had to stand firm on his position.

"Or do you really think that my Dao Sect wouldn't dare to fight to the death with your Yuan Sect?" Ying Xuanzi said with a sneer.

Tian Yuanzi's expression remained unchanged as he calmly met Ying Xuanzi's gaze.

He didn't know if Ying Xuanzi knew that the three of them couldn't control Xiao Yan and the other two without revealing the power of the Otherworldly Demons, but he knew that if a battle really broke out with the Dao Sect, even if they won in the end, it would definitely be a Pyrrhic victory. In that case, let alone completing the master's mission, it would be good enough if they didn't get kicked while they were down by other sects. Not to mention, their Yuan Sect might not even be able to win.

"call--"

After a long while, Tian Yuanzi slowly exhaled, "Let's first congratulate the Dao Sect on gaining four more experts at the Reincarnation Realm."

In order to avoid revealing that he already knew that Qian Laogui had become a Reincarnation Realm cultivator, and also to ensure that the subsequent plan to annex the Eastern Xuan Region could proceed as planned, Tian Yuanzi chose to back down at this moment.

"Then, the winner of this sect competition is your Dao Sect," Tian Yuanzi said with a faint smile, his gaze falling on Xiao Yan. "As for the annihilation of all the Yuan Sect disciples, my Yuan Sect will not pursue the matter..."

"Are you satisfied now? Could you please remove this terrifying formation?"

That smile was incredibly kind, as if Tian Yuanzi truly intended to put everything that happened in the Otherworldly Demon Realm behind him and no longer pursue the matter...

No, perhaps Tian Yuanzi really doesn't intend to pursue this any further.

After all, based on the answer from the only surviving disciple, Yuanmen's plan within the Otherworldly Demon Realm had completely failed. Not only did they fail to save the sealed master, but they also caused the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury to be completely closed and never open to the public again.

'It's one thing if the plan within the Otherworldly Demon Realm fails, but the plan to annex the Eastern Xuan Realm cannot afford the slightest mishap...' Tian Yuanzi's eyes flickered slightly as he calmly reassured himself.

"Okay..." Ying Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to agree.

"Before the formation is dispelled..." Xiao Yan suddenly interrupted Ying Xuanzi, "I wonder if Sect Leader Tian Yuanzi can answer the next question."

"What's the problem?" Tian Yuanzi asked with a gentle smile.

"As the Sect Leader Tian Yuanzi, you should know how this Demon Realm was formed, right?" Xiao Yan asked with a bright smile.

"Get ready, Moro needs some time to make his move. If he dies in these few seconds, it will be terrible." After asking the question, Xiao Yan immediately reminded Lin Dong and Xiao Diao.

"The Otherworldly Demon Realm..." Tian Yuanzi, who almost attacked Xiao Yan because of his punctuation, pretended to think for a moment, "This place was a battlefield during the ancient war between heaven and earth. After the war ended, this region was eroded by demonic energy, giving birth to countless terrifying monsters. In order to seal these monsters and to provide a training ground for the descendants of the Eastern Xuan Region, the powerful figures in the world sealed this place. Today, this place is known as the Otherworldly Demon Realm."

"I see..." Xiao Yan nodded in sudden understanding, and at the same time transmitted his voice, 'Sect Leader, Elder Qian, be prepared, Tian Yuanzi might launch a sneak attack at any time!'

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Ying Xuanzi and Elder Qian frowned slightly, but after noticing that Lin Dong and Xiao Diao had both mobilized their respective Yuan Power, they also secretly mobilized their own Yuan Power as well.

"Then, why would Sect Master Tianyuan, who knows so much, cooperate with the Otherworldly Demons?"

The moment the words fell, Xiao Yan noticed that Ying Xuanzi and Elder Qian's expressions changed instantly. If before they still had the idea of ​​reconciling with Yuan Sect and temporarily letting today's events pass, their expressions now seemed to say, 'If such a thing really happens, even if it means death, we will destroy Yuan Sect!'

The three of them, Tian Yuanzi and Xiao Yan, only showed a little confusion, as if they were wondering why Xiao Yan would say such things and why he would smear them.

Of course, that was only on the surface. In reality, the three of them were already filled with boundless rage. If rage could kill, Xiao Yan would have died countless times already. Or if there had been no one around when Xiao Yan said those words, the three of them would have already rushed towards Xiao Yan without any regard for anything.

Unfortunately, mere anger cannot kill anyone. Moreover, Xiao Yan is accompanied by four experts at the Reincarnation Realm, and elders from various super sects are also in the Demon City. If they were to make a direct attack, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat without being asked. In that case, the three of them would be facing not just five experts at the Reincarnation Realm.

"Cooperating with the Otherworldly Demons?" Even though he had already thought of countless ways to deal with Xiao Yan, Tian Yuanzi still had to suppress his killing intent and pretend to be puzzled. He said, "Xiao Yan... or rather Yan Xiao, I know you may have some connection with the Flame God Palace in the Chaotic Demon Sea, but you can't just talk nonsense about betraying this world!"

Despite Tian Yuanzi's utmost sincerity, Ying Xuanzi and Elder Qian showed no intention of letting up. Clearly, they were not prepared to relax until Tian Yuanzi refuted the evidence presented by Xiao Yan.

"A few months ago, Ren Yuanzi should have felt the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol at Demon Sound Mountain... or rather, at the location where the two spirit generals who suddenly died and an elder died, right?" Xiao Yan did not answer Tian Yuanzi's question, but instead brought up a small matter, a small matter that everyone present knew.

Is that true?

Ren Yuanzi, who was injured by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol at the time, would never admit to this. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Ying Xuanzi's spiritual imprint could sense Ying Huanhuan's condition and also the commotion caused by Ren Yuanzi's attack...

If Xiao Yan had acted a little later, it would have been Ying Xuanzi who defeated Ren Yuanzi's secret technique.

Sure enough, the moment Ren Yuanzi vehemently denied it, Ying Xuanzi slowly spoke, "Ren Yuanzi... the secret technique for tracking spatial teleportation is a closely guarded secret of your Yuan Sect, isn't it?"
