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

In just one second, this roaring demonic dragon could completely engulf Xiao Yan's figure and everything Xiao Yan existed in this world!

hum!

At that very moment, a rainbow of light suddenly swept out from beneath the demonic dragon, and the expression on the Ghost King's face froze completely.

Chapter 419 Complete Victory

"It seems I still have the upper hand in the end... Ghost King."

A slightly hoarse voice slowly rose from beneath the demonic dragon. There, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, looking at the demonic dragon that was so close to him, and then slowly stretched out his palm and placed it on the demonic dragon without any hesitation.

"broken!"

A chilling light surged from Xiao Yan's eyes, and then a muffled sound, like a heartbeat, echoed in every corner of this world, like the wails of all the lives harmed by the Ghost King, or like a sign that this world had finally given birth to a nascent consciousness.

Bang bang bang!

Countless explosions erupted from the hundreds of thousands of feet tall demonic dragon. In an instant, the demonic dragon, which possessed the power to devour the heavens and the earth, was completely annihilated amidst sparks, leaving no trace of its existence.

For the supreme Demon Emperor of the entire Demon race, such a hundreds of thousands of feet long demonic dragon might just be an appetizer before fighting against an equal powerhouse. However, for a Demon like Ghost King, who had barely stepped into the threshold of becoming a true king, this was undoubtedly the most powerful blow he had received in exchange for sacrificing his most powerful demonic body.

For this reason, Ghost King had absolute confidence that among the same level of powerhouses, unless they were unreasonable holders of ancestral symbols, no one could withstand this move!

Therefore, at the moment the demonic dragon completely dissipated, the Ghost King trembled violently, staring in utter horror at the scene before him.

"Ancestral Symbol? No, that's not right... The power of heaven and earth? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" After muttering a few words like a madman, the Ghost King suddenly glared at Xiao Yan, who was standing still as if he had realized something after shattering the demonic dragon with his attack, and roared, "What was that? What did you do?!"

As if finally awakened by the roar of the Ghost King, Xiao Yan turned his head as if waking from a dream and looked at the Ghost King, whose body was damaged and whose demonic energy was uncontrollably emanating outwards.

Upon learning in the Tianxuan Continent that the bodies of the alien demons were nearly immortal, a realization flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: Had they sacrificed their own bodies?

"I did something similar to what you did, but nowhere near as hysterical as you..."

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan completely sealed off the surrounding space, ensuring that the Ghost King could not leave. At the same time, he said in a low voice, "I stripped away all the talents that might be of great help to me in the future, and completely unified and integrated them, finally refining them into my own unique natal spirit treasure that can communicate with the world and borrow its power."

As if to prove that what he said was true, Xiao Yan raised his right hand, and talismans that were very similar to the five spirit talismans that had previously displayed great power appeared around him.

Looking at the five talismans floating around Xiao Yan, and at the spiritual energy that had previously been like poison to him but was now lifeless and seemed on the verge of breaking, the Ghost King finally remembered that when he was trapped in that towering array, the threads used to strip away its essence seemed to have also fallen on the five fire spirits.

"You're a madman..."

Although the Ghost King was unfamiliar with the cultivation methods of talisman masters on the Tianxuan Continent, it knew that the natal talisman was linked to the origin of human spiritual power, and the destruction of the natal talisman was basically related to the destruction of the origin of spiritual power.

So, recalling everything that had happened, the Ghost King couldn't help but curse, "Is there really no mortal grudge between us?"

"Who knows?"

Over the past month, Xiao Yan had been meticulously separating his natal spirit talisman from his spiritual source for the sake of this "natal spirit treasure." He even received help from the bewildered world consciousness along the way. However, the cost of refining it still far exceeded Xiao Yan's budget. If the world consciousness hadn't given Xiao Yan a final boost before falling asleep, the moment the spirit treasure was completed would also have been the moment Xiao Yan died.

Therefore, after casually replying, a flame radiating brilliant light slowly rose from Xiao Yan's hand.

"Flames...?" At this moment, even Xiao Yan, the creator of this natal spiritual treasure, was somewhat speechless. "Flames that can connect with the world's consciousness? Does that mean I'm destined to play with fire for the rest of my life?"

While Xiao Yan was still surprised by the unexpected appearance of this natal spiritual treasure, the Ghost King had already rushed out, clearly wanting to make a final desperate attempt to break out of the sealed space before Xiao Yan could kill it.

call out!

But just as its form shifted, the Ghost King was horrified to discover that the entire space it was in seemed to have been transported away. When it came to its senses, it found itself in a dazzling light, and outside this dazzling light stood Xiao Yan, who was as tall as a giant.

"Xiao Yan, spare me, and I can tell you everything about the Demon Emperor!"

With the Demon Emperor far away, and facing a real life-or-death situation, the Ghost King finally abandoned his loyalty to the Demon Emperor, shouting loudly, wanting to exchange betrayal for his own survival.

"The Demon Emperor..."

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but quickly clenched his fist, completely erasing the black spot in the dazzling flames that symbolized the existence of the Ghost King.

"Your invasion of the Tianxuan Continent is nothing more than for the Plane Embryo..." Xiao Yan coughed lightly, then calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "At most, another ten years will be enough for me to reach the Dou Di realm. By then, whether or not there is a Plane Embryo, I will be able to kill it!"

Just after uttering those words with great vigor, Xiao Yan's eyes rolled back, and he fell weakly from the air. The wounds that he had forcibly suppressed with his last breath finally broke through the suppression of his fighting spirit and began to wreak havoc on Xiao Yan's somewhat damaged body.

"They actually managed to win?"

Within the star field, the one who teleported Xiao Yan back the moment he fell looked at Xiao Yan, whose injuries were gradually being contained under the starlight, and muttered in astonishment, "One side is a formal Supreme Realm cultivator, and the other is only a Supreme Realm cultivator within a lower plane cultivation system. How could they both manage to turn the tables under such circumstances?"

Although global consciousness played a role in this victory.

"Could it be that it's really because he was able to reach the legendary realm above the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign?"

In Dan's inherited memories, there seems to be a realm above the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme within the cultivation system of the Great Thousand Worlds, and his master seems to have not yet stepped into that realm.

If it really is because of Xiao Yan's talent, then Dan understands why his master chose Xiao Yan instead of any of the three people on the Dou Qi Continent who are closest to the Dou Di realm at this moment.

Chapter 420 The Medicine Saint Emerges from Seclusion

Central Plains, Dan Domain, Holy Dan City.

Since the news broke three years ago that the former number one alchemist on the continent, Yao Zun Zhe, had reached the Dou Sheng realm, Saint Pill City has become more and more lively. Not to mention those seeking pills and those wanting to become disciples, even those suspected of having some kind of collusion with the Soul Palace have flocked here.

Although there has been no news of any Medicine Saint refining pills in recent years; and although the Pill Tower has imposed great restrictions on the entry and exit of Saint Pill City in preparation for the upcoming Pill Gathering, people still flock to Saint Pill City.

"This can't go on forever," Xuan Kongzi sighed helplessly atop the Pill Tower.

The Pill Gathering is a grand event held once every few decades in the Pill Tower. If it weren't for the fact that the title of "Medicine Saint" was too resounding, making Saint Pill City no longer as "peaceful" as it once was, he wouldn't have made the decision to restrict entry and exit less than a month before the Pill Gathering.

However, even after making such a decision and refusing entry to more than 90% of cultivators with tainted backgrounds, Saint Pill City was still overcrowded.

“I think it’s pretty good,” Tian Lei Zi laughed. “Most people who seek pills understand their own status and position. Apart from pills of grade eight and above, most will choose alchemists from the major families. Thanks to this, Dan Chen and Cao Ying have been able to successfully refine grade eight pills during this period. If nothing unexpected happens, the champion of the Pill Gathering will only be one of the two of them.”

If the prize for this year's Pill Gathering champion is still access to the Three Thousand Burning Flames, who knows where a few old fogies will pop up to compete with the younger generation for the championship. But a prescription for an eighth-grade nine-colored pill is not worth those old guys lowering their pride to participate in the Pill Gathering.

"That being said..." It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned the champion of the Pill Gathering, because mentioning it made Xuan Kongzi even more upset. "If I hadn't registered Ying'er first, given Ying'er's proud personality, she probably wouldn't have participated in this Pill Gathering at all!"

"Uh……"

Xuan Kongzi's words of exhaustion left Tian Leizi speechless. Becoming a grade eight alchemist was indeed a good thing, provided that there was no "prodigy" among his peers who had been able to refine grade eight nine-colored pills more than four years ago.

"Speaking of which, it's been almost four years, hasn't it?" Tian Leizi casually changed the subject, looked up, and gazed through the window at the star field high in the sky. "He still hasn't come out of seclusion... Back then, that old guy Yao Chen said it would be at most two years, right?"

I'm talking about at least two years.

Before Xuan Kongzi could reply, a voice rang out, “No matter what, devouring the strange fire is a major event that cannot be taken lightly. If Xiao Yanzi had come out two years ago, I would have given him a good scolding.”

Hearing these words, which on the surface seemed to belittle Xiao Yan but were actually practically praising him to the skies, both Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi's faces darkened. They turned around with feigned fierce expressions to look at the person who had appeared in the room at some point, a person with a bright smile on their face...

Smile?

It was a long time since Xuan Kongzi and his companion had seen Yao Lao's smile. Or rather... ever since Yao Lao began researching the Ninth-Grade Elixir, Xuan Kongzi and his companion had barely seen him. So when they saw Yao Lao, their first reaction was to focus on the bright smile on his face.

"Are you confident?"

Knowing the difficulty of making a ninth-grade precious pill, and knowing that even a ninth-grade alchemist cannot guarantee success every time, Xuan Kongzi still subconsciously asked this question when he saw the bright and confident smile on Yao Lao's face.

"I'm about 80-90% sure," the old apothecary said modestly.

"hiss--"

Seeing the old doctor's beaming smile and hearing his seemingly humble words that were practically a definite statement of confidence, Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi both gasped in shock.

"Alright, alright, if you had given up those three positions earlier, how difficult would it have been for you two to obtain a Grade Nine Treasure Pill?"

If Yao Lao was somewhat smug when he first saw the shock on the two people's faces, he finally couldn't stand it anymore after the two maintained their expressions of "this kid is terrifying" for a long time.

You can't say that.

After Yao Lao's expression turned sour, Xuan Kongzi returned to normal. "No matter what, it's a ninth-grade pill. If you're lucky, it might last a year or two. If you're unlucky... you might be stuck in obscurity in the Little Pill Tower for the rest of your life!"

The Little Pill Tower, the true core of the Pill Tower, is home to many powerful figures who were once influential in their own time. Even so, the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill remains a hurdle for many people. Many have crossed it, but countless others have failed.

The main reason why the position of the leader of the Pill Tower has not been handed over for so long is that there is no trustworthy successor with sufficient strength and alchemy skills. However, for Xuan Kongzi and the other two, there may be a possibility that the inability to refine ninth-grade pills is due to their busy schedules, which prevented their soul power and alchemy skills from steadily increasing.

"Alright, alright, it's because of you old geezers who always say things like that that I didn't bother staying in the Pill Tower back then!" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Elder Yao decisively changed the subject.

"No, you really have the nerve to say it's because of me?"

As expected, Yao Lao's flippant words directly interrupted Xuan Kongzi's melancholy mood, and he immediately became angry and wanted to argue with Yao Lao.

"I sent Xuan Yi to collect medicinal herbs."

Unfortunately, the old apothecary wouldn't give Xuan Kongzi a chance to argue with him. He changed his previous flippant manner and looked at Tian Leizi seriously. "The refining of a ninth-grade precious pill... I think this is a very good excuse to disperse irrelevant people, isn't it?"

"...It can also be used as the opening of the Pill Gathering." After a moment of silence, Tian Leizi nodded.

"It is also a formal occasion to announce to everyone on the Dou Qi Continent that the Medicine Saint has returned to the continent's stage." Old Medicine chuckled, speaking of the Medicine Saint's return, but showing no sign of pride.

His return means that Yao Lao is willing to accept requests from others to refine pills, which saves the Pill Tower a lot of trouble. If a full-scale war with the Soul Palace really breaks out in the future, this will also bring a lot of help to the Pill Tower.

“Then we really need to tell everyone on the continent that you’re already a ninth-grade alchemist,” Xuan Kongzi, who had just been serious for a few minutes and was about to announce the matter to the five major families, suddenly thought of something and looked at Yao Lao with a playful smile. “Otherwise, when Xiao Yan can refine a ninth-grade Xuan Dan or a ninth-grade Jin Dan, people will realize that his master isn’t even a ninth-grade alchemist.”

"Hey, you old geezer!" Yao Lao "angrily" made a move to strike Xuan Kongzi.

"Let's go, let's go. After all, he is the number one alchemist on the continent. It wouldn't be appropriate if he didn't have a proper alchemy occasion!" Xuan Kongzi didn't give Yao Lao any chance to make a move. As soon as he finished speaking, he mobilized the power of space and sent himself directly to the gate of the Cao family.

After Xuan Kongzi disappeared, Yao Lao helplessly lowered his hand and looked up at the sky.

"Four years... Little Yanzi, does it really take four years to devour the Three Thousand Burning Flames?" A hint of worry appeared in his eyes as he looked towards the star field. His mid-stage Heavenly Realm soul power was enough to crush a five-star Dou Zun...

With such a configuration, does it really take that long to refine and devour a Three Thousand Burning Flames?

Chapter 421 Awakening

This is a space bathed in purplish-black starlight.

The starlight meandered like a river, drifting lightly like flying catkins, while in the very center of the starlight was a nearly inky vortex, swallowing the starlight flowing through this space like an endless black hole.

However, even though the dark vortex swallowed up endless starlight, the starlight in this space did not decrease. It continued to flow slowly, gradually entering the dark vortex.

The inky vortex and the endless purplish-black starlight moved silently, seemingly destined to continue forever.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the inky vortex paused for a moment. Then, the vortex, which seemed capable of swallowing up even sight, slowly came to a standstill, and after a long while, it completely disappeared, revealing the scene within the inky vortex—

A black-haired boy whose clothes were somewhat tattered, yet whose face still radiated health.

Before opening his eyes, Xiao Yan, who had already confirmed that his injuries had fully healed, looked around in a daze: the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the extremely familiar space around him clearly told him that this was the star field opened up by the three seniors of the Pill Tower.

But is there something wrong with the intensity of the starlight?

Also, shouldn't I be in Douluo Continent right now?

Do you think the spiritual energy of the world on Douluo Continent is sufficient to support your recovery in such a short time?

Before Xiao Yan could come to his senses, a somewhat helpless voice rang in his ears, followed by a strong spatial fluctuation around him.
