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

After the great battle, everyone's internal energy was nearly exhausted. If the Ten Kings Palace had been near any of them when it self-destructed, it could have taken one of them with it.

"Ha ha……"

Just as everyone was warily watching the Ten Kings Palace in the distance, a faint laugh suddenly came from its throat, "The mark of the Emperor in that boy's body... was it you, Ice Lord, who suppressed it?"

No one answered, but the Ten Kings Palace was not surprised at all.

"After the great war between heaven and earth, our emperor was sealed by the Ancestor of Symbols. Since then, we have never received any messages from our emperor, and we do not know whether our emperor has broken free of the seal or is destroying the seal on that dimensional rift..."

"The seal on the dimensional rift was formed from my master's burning of reincarnation. Even the Demon Emperor at his peak could not destroy it!" the Ice Lord said with a cold laugh.

“That’s right. Even if millions of years pass after losing his arm, Your Majesty may not be able to return to his peak…” The Ten Kings Palace revealed a maniacal smile. “But what if the arm from this Demon Realm were to return to Your Majesty’s side?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ten Kings Palace stumbled and flew towards the distant location of the Otherworldly Demon Realm.

Xiao Yan and the others turned deathly pale. They finally understood why, at that crucial moment, the Ten Kings Palace had forcefully absorbed all the attacks—

Previously, it could be said that the Ten Kings Palace was caught off guard by Xiao Yan's unexpected move and had no choice but to take all the attacks. But after hearing these words, it becomes clear that even if Xiao Yan hadn't used that move, the Ten Kings Palace would still have taken all the attacks!

However, even knowing the Ten Kings' plans, stopping them now would require sacrificing one person...

"Don't worry."

Just as Moro's eyes narrowed, preparing to hand over the Flame Ancestral Symbol to Xiao Yan and go to stop the Ten Kings Palace, the Ice Lord suddenly spoke up, "It's no use. That great formation... is a peerless formation set up by Master. Unless the Demon Emperor himself comes, no Demon can break through it from the outside."

A beam of destructive light appeared in the distance, and in that instant it was as if ten thousand blazing suns were blooming at the same time. The intense light spread out, and even Xiao Yan and the others had to squint their eyes slightly.

When the pillar of light dissipated, the array that sealed the Demon Emperor's arm trembled slightly before returning to calm.

*

"Huh? Is he dead?"

Inside the black coffin atop a certain river, the man in black, seemingly having received a message, slowly opened his eyes. "However… you've drawn the attention of the Ice Lord and all the others to the Otherworldly Realm? Heh, not bad…"

Although the move used by the Ten Kings Palace was intended as a seal for the dimensional rift in the future, it was still very satisfied with the Ten Kings Palace's performance at this moment.

"Tell them they can act boldly now. I imagine... even if the Ice Lord and the others find out, they'll just think it's about gathering troops to break the seal on the Otherworldly Demon Realm, right?"

The man in black smiled.

Chapter 328 Edible...

Opening his eyes, looking at the familiar furniture in front of him and feeling the familiar atmosphere in the small house not far away, Xiao Yan let out a long breath: "I thought... I could stay for a day or two longer."

After muttering something to himself, Xiao Yan scanned his body with his soul power, carefully examining the "Yuan power" within him. Sure enough, he once again felt the energy dissipating from his body. However, compared to the previous two times, if he didn't use his soul power to confirm it little by little this time, he might not have been able to discover it even after ten or twenty days.

After all, the speed at which energy dissipated this time was almost on par with the recovery speed of the Yuan Power itself.

"We still need to resolve this as soon as possible..." His eyes, which had just opened, closed again. "Seven years, the final seven years..."

As the sound gradually faded, Xiao Yan once again entered a meditative state.

*

After confirming that the Ten Kings Palace was dead and had not caused any damage to the sealing array, the Ice Lord immediately arranged for Moro and Bo Xuan to awaken the spirit of the Ancestral Stone.

After all, the Ten Kings Palace had already confirmed the existence of the Demon Emperor's mark in Xiao Yan's body before its self-destruction, and no one knew if it had left any hidden tricks.

With the help of Moro and Bo Xuan, the Ancestral Stone Spirit "Yan" quickly awakened. After listening to the Ice Master's description, it confirmed the appearance and function of the mark in Xiao Yan's body through Lin Dong's body.

The final conclusion is that this mark does not have a method to transform people into demons. Its only function is to transmit messages to any demon in the same world. Although it can only transmit a few simple words, there is no doubt that the awakening of the Ice Lord and the arm of the Demon Emperor sealed in the Demon Realm have been conveyed to the ears of the powerful in the Demon Prison.

In other words, the mark on Xiao Yan's body was, to some extent, a false alarm. However, for future safety, Yan still relied on the power of the three Ancestral Symbols to completely erase the mark.

After erasing the mark, everyone felt that in order to protect the great formation of the Otherworldly Demon Realm, they had to inform all the super sects in the Eastern Profound Realm about the great battle that took place above the Otherworldly Demon City. However, before the news could be spread, Xiao Yan once again sensed the aura of the pill.

"You have seven years left. Whether you can inherit that legacy depends on yourself!" Dan's calm voice rang out at the same time.

Immediately following was a dizzying sensation. When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Yan was back in his small courtyard in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy. Even the slight damage caused by forcibly devouring the Wind Dragon's Wrathful Flame remained unchanged.

*

Sitting under the pavilion, Little Fairy Doctor would occasionally look up at Xiao Yan's house.

A week has passed since Xiao Yan sent her a telepathic message saying he needed to go into seclusion for a while. During this week, Little Fairy Doctor clearly felt Xiao Yan's "Dou Qi" plummet from near the Dou Huang level. At first, she thought Xiao Yan had leveled up too much in one night and wanted to control his level...

However, upon discovering that Xiao Yan's Dou Qi had fallen below the Dou Wang level and was even continuing to decline, she finally couldn't resist the urge to break down the door and tell Xiao Yan that there was no need to continue suppressing it. But as soon as she approached Xiao Yan's courtyard, she heard Xiao Yan's telepathic message once again:

"Don't worry too much, this is a special feature of the cultivation technique I practice..." Xiao Yan's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Every time my strength increases excessively, I need to gradually dissipate the battle qi within my body, and then start cultivating again..."

However, each time I retake the course, the progress is much faster; at most, it takes me a month to get back to where I started.

Since Xiao Yan had said so, Little Fairy Doctor could only reluctantly believe what he said. After all, Xiao Yan had just told her about what happened before Xun'er left the day before, and had also expressed his hatred for his own weak and powerless strength. If it really affected her cultivation, Xiao Yan would definitely be careful with his words and actions... right?

Sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Yan's courtyard, which was close to that of a Dou Huang, Little Fairy Doctor sighed helplessly. Although she, who had advanced from the Dou Qi stage to the Dou Zong stage in just over a year, was not suited to say such things, but—

"Too much advancement might not be a good thing..."

"Such words shouldn't be coming from Little Fairy Doctor, who wasn't even a Fighter a little over a year ago, right?"

The subconscious murmur had barely left her lips when she heard Xiao Yan's teasing words, tinged with amusement, ring out beside her. Then she saw Xiao Yan leisurely pick up the teapot on the stone table and pour himself a cup of tea.

"How can this be the same?" Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes in annoyance. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's help in condensing the poison pill, even if she had the Calamity Poison Body, she would never have dared to increase her Dou Qi level so much in just over a year.

"As long as your fighting spirit doesn't feel weak, isn't that enough?" Xiao Yan smiled and took Little Fairy Doctor's hand, placing it on his wrist. "Look, do you feel any weakness?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor subconsciously released her soul power, which circulated within Xiao Yan's body to determine the density of his Dou Qi.

"You've absorbed another strange fire?" After noticing the changes in the strange fire within Xiao Yan's body, Little Fairy Doctor opened her eyes and looked at him with some surprise. "Is it from Canaan Academy?"

She vaguely remembered that Xiao Yan had said that there might be a Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, in Canaan Academy. If Xiao Yan really devoured another Strange Flame, the most likely one would be the Fallen Heart Flame.

"No, no, it's the Wind Fury Dragon Flame that I obtained a long time ago, but I just haven't refined it yet. I just happened to have some free time recently, so I devoured it," Xiao Yan said with a smile and shook his head. "By the way, where is Zi Yan? I don't think I can sense her presence in the academy."

"She went to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs again," Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but smile when she mentioned Zi Yan. Although Zi Yan was known as the "King of Brute Strength" in the inner courtyard, to Little Fairy Doctor, she was just a cute little sister. "Do you need to see her?"

"I mainly want to find the Grand Elder," Xiao Yan smiled. "The Fallen Heart Flame is my goal. I've been in the Inner Court for quite a while now, and it's time to discuss the Fallen Heart Flame with the Grand Elder."

"Is the Fallen Heart Flame in the hands of the Grand Elder?" Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously.

"To be precise, it's right in the center of the inner courtyard," Xiao Yan raised his head and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. "Below the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is the Fallen Heart Flame. Canaan Academy sealed the Fallen Heart Flame there and used it to provide a place for the students of the inner courtyard to cultivate their fighting spirit."

The Fallen Heart Flame is also known as a cultivation cheat device because the battle qi of those who devour and refine it can be tempered by the heart flame at all times. The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower has turned the Fallen Heart Flame from a cultivation cheat device for one person into a cheat device for countless people.

"Heavenly Flame Refining Tower..."

Although she hadn't spent much time in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, Little Fairy Doctor knew from Zi Yan's introduction that the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was, in a sense, the foundation of the inner courtyard's existence.

Will Su Qian entrust the Fallen Heart Flame to you?

Little Fairy Doctor's expression turned serious, as if she would join Xiao Yan in turning the inner courtyard upside down if he said "no".

"As long as we can find a suitable alternative, or a lower-level replacement, the Grand Elder will definitely agree," Xiao Yan said with a confident smile. "As a different kind of fire, even with the suppression of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, the Fallen Heart Flame is still constantly trying to break through the seal. If it were to break through the seal one day, the Inner Court would likely suffer significant losses..."

"Are you planning to help the Fallen Heart Flame break through the seal?" Little Fairy Doctor had a flash of inspiration and felt that she seemed to understand Xiao Yan's purpose.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yan froze upon hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words, looking at her with some confusion: "Little Fairy Doctor... what kind of image do I have in your heart?"

Although Xiao Yan committed murder and robbery in the Black Corner Region, he didn't do anything excessively else. Back then, he attacked the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall in Green Mountain Town because there were no innocent people among them.

"Ahem." Seeing Xiao Yan's innocent expression, Little Fairy Doctor turned her head slightly, coughed, and looked a little embarrassed.

Well... in her mind, Xiao Yan wasn't the kind of guy who would drag innocent people into things so easily. And helping the Fallen Heart Flame break through the seal was her first reaction after hearing Xiao Yan explain the dangers of the Fallen Heart Flame...

"Try to extract the energy from this pill." Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's somewhat embarrassed expression, Xiao Yan stopped asking and simply took out a round pill that looked like a flame.

"What is this? Is it a pill you just refined? And... why is it extracting energy from the pill?" Little Fairy Doctor's face showed a strange expression as she looked at the pill in Xiao Yan's palm.

Of course she knew that Xiao Yan could easily refine sixth-grade or even seventh-grade pills, but the pills in Xiao Yan's palm... didn't look like high-grade pills at all.

"This is a pill I refined from the energy of heaven and earth with the help of a strange fire. Its name is Nirvana Pill," Xiao Yan chuckled, the strange fire condensing in his hand and then gradually dissipating, a new Nirvana Pill appearing in his palm. "Anyone who is a Dou Wang can condense a Nirvana Pill, and the Nirvana Pill has the effect of accelerating the cultivation speed for those below the Dou Wang level..."

Do you think that if I offered enough high-grade pills in exchange for the Fallen Heart Flame, such as the Breakthrough Pill, and also told the Grand Elder and the others the method for condensing the Nirvana Pill, would they hand over the Fallen Heart Flame to me?

After converting his internal Yuan Power back into Dou Qi, Xiao Yan thought of the hundreds of millions of Nirvana Pills stored in the Awakening Flame Ring. After discovering that he could still absorb Nirvana Pills and even condense them through a slightly troublesome method, Xiao Yan had the idea of ​​using them to replace the Fallen Heart Flame.

Although it takes a Dou Wang to condense a Nirvana Pill, there are quite a few Dou Wangs in Canaan Academy. Even if they don't have a different kind of fire and can't condense a Nirvana Pill in a few seconds like Xiao Yan, it will only take them a few minutes at most. With practice, they can even condense one in a minute.

Moreover, Xiao Yan could use the hundreds of millions of Nirvana Pills he possessed to set up a Nirvana Heaven-Burning Array for Canaan Academy, further accelerating the condensation speed of the Nirvana Pills...

'It's a bit of a pity, I was thinking of using the Nirvana Pill to set up a defensive formation...'

The Gama Empire was attacked by the Soul Palace. Even if the Gama royal family were still willing to accept the Xiao family afterward, with less than one-tenth of the Xiao family's population remaining, it would be difficult for them to rise again. Therefore, after learning that his two older brothers were planning to make a name for themselves in the Black Corner Region, he intended to establish a new ancestral home for the Xiao family in the Black Corner Region in the future, and the formation set up with Nirvana Pills was the best defensive measure.

While Xiao Yan was contemplating his own future, the future of the Xiao family, and the future of the Jia Ma Empire, Little Fairy Doctor also confirmed the energy contained within the Nirvana Pill.

"This kind of 'elixir' does indeed accelerate the cultivation speed for those below the Dou Wang level," Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously after placing the Nirvana Pill back into Xiao Yan's hand. "But... can this kind of pill be taken multiple times?"

“Of course,” Xiao Yan said with a smug smile. “This Nirvana Pill is actually just a substitute for the energy of heaven and earth. No matter how much you take, it will not cause any damage to your body. It is completely different from regular pills made from medicinal herbs!”

Yes, it can be taken. The Nirvana Pill condensed on the Dou Qi Continent can be taken. This is the biggest difference between it and the Nirvana Pill on the Tianxuan Continent. Moreover, because it is condensed from the energy of heaven and earth, it ensures that even if taken, it will not cause the accumulation of medicinal properties like other pills.

"...Zi Yan will definitely like this Nirvana Pill." Looking at the smug expression on Xiao Yan's face, Little Fairy Doctor thought for a moment and said with a smile.

“The energy contained in the Nirvana Pill is too little, and it is not comparable to pills at all for Zi Yan,” Xiao Yan said with a helpless expression. “At most, it can be used as a candy to satisfy her cravings after she gets tired of pills.”

"That's true." Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor smiled helplessly.

*

"Achoo!" Zi Yan, who had just returned to the inner courtyard from the vast forest, suddenly sneezed.

"Someone said bad things about me?" Zi Yan rubbed her nose, her face showing displeasure. However, her expression quickly turned to surprise and delight. "Xiao Yan, you're awake?!"

Ignoring the medicinal herbs she was holding, she lunged straight at Xiao Yan, who was walking towards Su Qian's office with Little Fairy Doctor beside her.

"Zi Yan?" Looking at the girl hanging on his back, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly. "I was just about to go find the Grand Elder. Do you want to come with me?"

"want!"

Although she didn't know what had happened, Zi Yan noticed that after a week of seclusion, Xiao Yan's scent had become even more pleasant.

Chapter 329 Fallen Heart Flame

"So, the lightning those days was just caused by the cultivation of one of the elders of Canaan Academy? And then, in recent days, several Dou Zong experts led several Da Dou Shi people into Canaan Academy?"

Han Feng, dressed in a light blue robe embroidered with a maple leaf, looked at the figure kneeling on one knee below and asked.

A few days ago, Han Feng arranged for his trusted confidant Han Beng to go to Canaan Academy to inquire about the lightning that had been falling for several days and the news of the powerful people who had recently entered Canaan Academy. Today, Han Beng finally sent back news, but one of them was not the news that Han Feng wanted to hear.

"Yes!" Han Beng replied respectfully in a hoarse voice, his head bowed.

"I see..." Han Feng nodded silently.
