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

"Refine it!"

Xiao Yan's heart trembled suddenly, and he pointed his finger downwards. The Heavenly Array and the Earthly Array trembled violently, and then two crimson beams of light shot out instantly, their target being Tian Yuanzi, whose appearance was still unclear in the flame storm.

Perhaps sensing the extraordinary nature of the two crimson beams of light, a half-black, half-white magical artifact burst forth from the demonic energy, heading straight towards the descending beams of light.

At the same time, another jet-black demonic bone slammed into the beam of light surging from below.

Bang!

Bang!

In an instant, a deafening collision resounded, and the flame storm generated by the three-colored fire lotus was directly dispersed by the storm that appeared simultaneously with the collision. The mutated image of Tian Yuanzi appeared before Xiao Yan—

At this moment, Tian Yuanzi resembled a monster, entirely black, with four enormous arms. His face was dominated by a hideous maw filled with black, sharp teeth, from which demonic energy spewed forth like a flood, eroding the pillar of light below.

"I didn't expect you to have a secret method to enhance your strength," Tian Yuanzi's face suddenly appeared on the monster's abdomen, the grotesque face grinning somewhat ferociously, "You actually held back when you first fought me..."

No, wait, I see. So it's because this secret technique can't be maintained indefinitely? It seems to be harming your beast-like body... Ha, so this is your last trump card?

After fusing with the three-colored fire lotus and manipulating the Refining Heaven Ancient Array, Xiao Yan's aura weakened slightly. Although the degree was extremely small, for Tian Yuanzi, who had already merged with the corpse of the unknown alien demon, the weakened aura was as dazzling as a firefly in the dark night, and he immediately burst into laughter.

"You're too clever for your own good... Refine!"

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed red, and he suddenly pressed his hands down. The demonic bones that were resisting the crimson light pillar and the unknown spiritual treasure exploded with a bang.

Without any obstruction, the two beams of light streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, striking Tian Yuanzi simultaneously in an instant. Then, centered on the point of impact, a ring of fire instantly spread out to a distance of tens of thousands of feet.

Gazing at the epicenter of the explosion from afar, Xiao Yan quickly grabbed a handful of pills from his Flame Awakening Ring and stuffed them into his mouth. His battle with Tian Yuanzi would undoubtedly be the longest, second only to that of Bo Xuan and Mo Luo. Even if he couldn't kill it, he had to hold out until Lin Dong and the others had eliminated Ren Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi and then come to their aid...

"You worm... you're quite hot to handle!" The moment the pill entered his mouth, a chilling shout suddenly rang out in the sky.

boom!

As that cold shout fell, the flames at the intersection of the beams of light suddenly froze, then exploded with a deafening roar, sending waves of fire rolling across the sky.

The spreading waves of fire dissipated automatically when they were still dozens of feet away from Xiao Yan's body, while Xiao Yan's gaze remained fixed on the figure that stepped out of the void.

At this moment, Tian Yuanzi had lost two of his four arms. The two remaining arms each held a pitch-black shield, which was covered with hideous demonic faces.

It seems that Xiao Yan's previous move only severed its two dispensable arms. In fact, as the shield in Tian Yuanzi's hand dissipated, the two severed arms were gradually recovering.

Tian Yuanzi's voice was icy cold. He stomped his foot on the void and his figure appeared above Xiao Yan's head as if he had teleported. The demonic spear he had gathered in his hand danced, and within the spear shadow, demonic energy surged and transformed into countless evil spirits, attacking Xiao Yan's vital points.

Within Xiao Yan's body, the mark left by the Demon Emperor's arm seemed to be able to sense the demonic energy around him, and immediately became active, as if it wanted to devour all of this demonic energy.

We must not let that mark devour this demonic energy!

Although he didn't know what was different about these demonic energies, Xiao Yan's gaze remained sharp, and he rapidly wielded the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand, forcefully blocking most of the evil demonic energy. The few demonic energies that did hit Xiao Yan's body were completely burned away by the flames emanating from his body.

Seeing that he couldn't break through after a long attack, Tian Yuanzi's huge, ferocious mouth on his eyeless face suddenly opened, and a beam of dense, almost viscous demonic energy shot out like lightning.

boom!

Before he could dodge, the beam of demonic energy struck Xiao Yan directly on the forehead.

Bang!

Using the power of the demonic energy beam, Xiao Yan was sent flying backward, quickly escaping the attack range of Tian Yuanzi's demonic spear.

'Thankfully, I've established a bloodline connection with Zi Yan...'

The purple scales on his forehead flashed by. At this moment, Xiao Yan was filled with relief. If he had not established a bloodline connection with Zi Yan, his Dragon-Phoenix Horn would not have further strengthened his body, nor would he have been able to cultivate the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique to the level of the Azure Dragon Pattern.

Tian Yuanzi's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not immediately follow Xiao Yan who was flying backward. Instead, he opened his ferocious maw and spewed out countless demonic energies.

The demonic energy did not spread out directly, but rapidly extended into the sky, and then gradually spread out as if it were replacing the clouds in the sky.

As demonic energy spread across the sky, Tian Yuanzi's four arms were not idle either, constantly changing hand seals. Without a doubt, Tian Yuanzi was preparing to completely crush Xiao Yan in the next move.

Sensing the fluctuations of demonic energy emanating from Tian Yuanzi, Xiao Yan's expression instantly turned solemn. He then took a deep breath, changed his hand seals, and unleashed a torrent of strange fire from his body. Instantly, the Netherworld Poison Fire, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, and his natal strange fire, the Dragon Phoenix Demon Flame, all condensed together in his palm.

Using the Bone Spirit Cold Flame would consume Yao Lao's soul power, but at this moment, it was the only fighting technique Xiao Yan could use quickly...

Tian Yuanzi glanced expressionlessly at the flame in Xiao Yan's hand, finally fixing his gaze on the Dragon-Phoenix Demon Flame. A glimmer of understanding finally flashed in his eyes. At this moment, he finally understood why he had sensed the aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol from Xiao Yan's body during their previous battle.

"However... that's enough!"

A pitch-black demonic shadow materialized behind Tian Yuanzi. In an instant, the howling wind in the sky stopped abruptly, and even the two fire arrays, one above and one below, ceased their changes. An overwhelming aura of destruction slowly emanated from the demonic shadow that had materialized.

A moment later, the demonic figure suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze falling on Xiao Yan, whose hand was wreathed in flames. It slowly extended a finger and pressed it down into the void.

"Great Heavenly Demon Finger!"

As the demonic shadow's finger fell, the entire sky seemed to freeze at that moment, and an aura of destruction, as if from the abyss of evil, swept out from where the demonic shadow's finger landed.

The pervasive cloud of demonic energy suddenly stopped, then quickly split open, revealing a massive, pitch-black finger, hundreds of feet long, that burst forth from the cloud and swiftly descended from the sky, pressing down heavily on Xiao Yan's location!

This enormous, jet-black finger exuded an extremely terrifying aura of destruction, as if it were about to utterly destroy everything in the world.

As the finger fell from the sky, the space sealed off by the Ten Kings Palace finally cracked open, revealing a spatial rift a thousand feet long.

"Destruction Lotus!"

Looking at the giant black finger falling from the sky, Xiao Yan's face turned slightly pale. He then quickly threw out the five-colored fire lotus that he had just condensed.

With a long trail, the five-colored fire lotus finally collided with the giant black finger that descended from the sky, right before Xiao Yan's eyes—

boom!

The terrifying impact, like the collision of meteorites, instantly produced a deafening roar.

The city of the Otherworldly Demons beneath the fire array trembled at this moment. On the dark earth, cracks about ten feet in size spread rapidly like a spider web.

A destructive energy ripple spread rapidly from the point of impact, finally slamming into Xiao Yan and Tian Yuanzi. The two, exhausted, were blown away thousands of feet by the energy ripple.

Click!

After Xiao Yan and Tian Yuanzi finally managed to regain their footing in the void, a tiny crack suddenly appeared on the giant, black finger...

"Damn it, isn't this enough?" Tian Yuanzi's face was gloomy. The demonic energy spewing from the belly of the demonic corpse he was parasitizing was more than 50% of the demonic energy stored in his Yuan Sect. Even the Great Heavenly Demon Finger, unleashed with this level of demonic energy, could not destroy the fire lotus...

Wait, a fire lotus?

Tian Yuanzi's expression froze instantly. Before it revealed its true form, it had taken a direct hit from a fire lotus, but wasn't that fire lotus immediately detonated? Why was this five-colored fire lotus actually locked in a stalemate with the Great Heavenly Demon Finger?

Thinking of this, Tian Yuanzi quickly looked towards Xiao Yan's location—a wisp of crimson flame was rising in the air, and if its senses were correct, that was Xiao Yan…

"Heh heh, it's still a bit too late!" A loud laugh came from the tip of the giant black finger.

Despite the blood gushing from Xiao Yan's mouth, he wore a bright smile on his face.

'A Reincarnation Realm cultivator who can only unleash half his power… If I hadn't remembered that he severed half of your soul, I would have thought he had no other weaknesses besides only being able to use 50-60% of his strength!'

In Xiao Yan's vision, along the route Tian Yuanzi had fled in a disheveled state, a beautifully crafted fire lotus, no larger than the palm of his hand, quietly rotated. The six-colored fire lotus—green, pure cyan, earthy yellow, forest white, crimson, and a milky-white flame formed from the essence of the Flame Ancestral Symbol—silently leaped before Tian Yuanzi.

The six-colored fire lotus shimmered with dazzling light, and then a destructive power overflowed from it, causing the energy in this world to surge violently.

At this final moment, the dazzling fire lotus finally appeared in Tian Yuanzi's vision, but at this moment it could only watch helplessly as the brilliant firelight rapidly magnified in its pupils!

boom!

Along with the blooming fire lotus, the giant black finger in front of Xiao Yan also shattered. However, unlike the energy ripples brought about by the destruction of the fire lotus, the black finger revealed endless demonic energy after it shattered.

"seal up!"

Feeling the marks activating within his body, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. His hand seals changed, and the Heavenly Array and Earthly Array unleashed countless crimson flame threads, completely binding the overwhelming demonic energy, and then gradually dragging it into the fire array.

Chapter 324 Good News and Bad News

A massive firestorm, tens of thousands of feet in size, swept across the void in an instant. The terrifying temperature caused flames to rise in the Demon City even from a great distance. Some of those with slightly weaker strength were even more horrified to feel their blood boiling at that moment.

"What a terrifying firestorm..." Ling Qingzhu's gaze fell on the fire array in the sky, as if she wanted to see the battle above through this massive fire array.

"If this happened on the ground, perhaps everything within a ten-thousand-mile radius would turn into a desert," the elder leading the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace said, staring at the sky in astonishment. "I wonder who exactly used this martial art..."

Even a powerful expert like her, who had reached the peak of the Life Profound Realm, couldn't see through the fire formation, so she naturally didn't know how far the battle above had progressed.

Furthermore, no one in the entire Demon City knew that if Xiao Yan and his group in the sky were defeated, everyone in the entire city would perish with them…

"What should we do? Should we go back to our sect now and find someone to deal with those people from the Dao Sect?" Inside the Yuan Sect's base, the eight leaders who were not "involved" had solemn expressions.

"According to what the Sect Leader said, Ying Xuanzi and that old ghost Qian are also in the Demon City. They must be involved in this battle now," the leading elder said, his face ashen. "Although the Sect Leader and the others are incredibly powerful, they are still no match for five equally powerful individuals... Who are they?!"

The old man suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the camp gate—

There, two figures stood calmly. One was as burly as an iron tower, holding an iron rod about a foot thick, and his pair of crimson tiger eyes were fixed on the eight of them. The other was petite, and although his aura was locked onto the eight of them, his gaze still occasionally looked up at the sky.

"The ones who will take your lives!" Xiao Yan grinned. "Those who cooperate with the Otherworldly Demons... do not deserve to live in this world!" With a flash, he appeared directly in front of the eight people and slammed down the iron rod in his hand.

Bang!

The old man hastily raised his hand, managing to block the iron rod, but his body still uncontrollably staggered backward dozens of steps, while a trickle of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, Death Profound Realm..." Only a Death Profound Realm expert could defeat him, a Perfected Life Profound Realm cultivator, with a single blow. Immediately, the old man stopped pretending, and demonic energy emanated from his body. "Seal off the base! We can't let them escape!"

Having been exposed for collaborating with the Otherworldly Demons and having revealed their aura, there was no doubt that for the eight leaders of the Yuan Sect at this moment, if they still wanted to preserve the Yuan Sect and its reputation, the only option was to fight with all their might and kill the two unknown invaders on the spot...

Even though these two attackers both seem to be at the Death Profound Realm!

Looking at the eight people who exuded demonic energy and whose figures were like ghosts, Xiao Yan revealed a ferocious smile, and then swung his iron rod and charged into the crowd.

"Disgusting thing..."

Xiao Yuan finally withdrew his gaze completely, glanced at the eight inhuman creatures with disgust, then enveloped his entire body in lightning, revealing his true form before charging towards the eight people on lightning.

Inside the Dao Sect's headquarters, all the disciples and elders stared in disbelief at Ying Huanhuan, who was floating above the courtyard, her long, jet-black hair instantly turning ice-blue, and constantly emanating a chilling aura.

"Uncle-Master, Huanhuan, she..." Ying Xiaoxiao looked at Xuan Lei with a worried and bewildered expression.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing...maybe." Xuan Lei forced a smile and said, but he himself didn't quite believe it. In the end, he whispered three words that only he could hear.

The disciples of the Dao Sect could not discern the reason for Ying Huanhuan's sudden change, but how could the four experienced hall masters, including Xuan Lei, not know?

At this moment, all four of them stared in horror at the talisman between Ying Huanhuan's eyebrows.

"Huanhuan is actually a reincarnator..."

Chen Zhen gasped. He thought that Lin Dong and Xiao Yan's sudden display of Reincarnation Realm strength was terrifying enough, but he never expected that Ying Huanhuan's past life was actually that of a super strong person who had survived the Reincarnation Tribulation.

“That’s not the problem,” Xuan Lei said, glaring at Chen Zhen after dealing with Ying Xiaoxiao. “The key is, why would Huanhuan trigger the cycle of reincarnation at a time like this!”

Most reincarnators lose their spirituality in the process of reincarnation and then perish completely. Only in certain circumstances will the spirituality of reincarnation be triggered, awakening the power and memories of past lives. However, the triggering of the spirituality of reincarnation usually occurs when the primordial spirit is condensed.
