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

Which guardian are you referring to?

Xiao Yan wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely felt that when Cang Qiong said those words, there was a hint of... mischievousness in his voice?

"...The one besides the half-finished Emperor Pill." After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yan spoke.

At this moment, Xiao Yan also passed through the magma world and arrived in the space hidden in the magma land. There was no light source around, except for a faint light in the far distance.

"The previous Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon." Cang Qiong's voice carried a hint of regret, but he still revealed the identity of the "Guardian" as spoken of by the lizardmen.

"Oh, the previous Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon... Ah?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

If he remembered correctly, the previous Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void was Zi Yan's father, right? In other words, his father-in-law was imprisoned here by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, used as his gatekeeper... a dragon?

Chapter 511 Recognizing Relatives

After flying through the boundless darkness for several minutes, the faint light in the distance finally became clearer.

As Xiao Yan drew closer to the light, he gradually made out the scene within it—

It was a stone gate, a massive stone gate tens of thousands of feet high.

The stone gate stood quietly in this vast space, as if it had existed forever. An ancient and wild aura slowly spread from it, rippling through the heavens and earth.

Before the stone gate was a vast plaza. Xiao Yan stood quietly at a distance from the stone gate. The four characters "Ancient Emperor's Cave" on the top of the stone gate were already in his sight, but what Xiao Yan wanted to know more about was... where was his father-in-law, whom the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe had made his gatekeeper?

"Could it be..." Suddenly, Xiao Yan thought of something, hesitated and lowered his head, at the same time a pillar of fire shot out from his fingertips.

Flames burst forth in the darkness, and Xiao Yan's gaze froze for a moment—

It was a creature that could not be described simply as "enormous." It coiled motionless in the dark void. Xiao Yan's gaze followed its body, but even when his vision was blocked by the darkness in the distance, he still could not see its end.

This mysterious creature is entirely purple-gold in color, with cold scales covering its body, giving it a powerful and steel-like appearance.

'As expected, it's the previous Dragon Emperor...' Xiao Yan sighed silently.

At the very moment Xiao Yan sighed silently, a dazzling beam of light burst forth from the darkness, piercing through the void and shooting towards Xiao Yan's location.

Although Xiao Yan wanted to say something, the attack that was already in front of him did not give him a chance to speak.

"Moo!"

Xiao Yan changed his hand seals, and a massive soul figure emerged from his body. He opened his mouth, and a terrifying soul wave swept out, colliding fiercely with the purple-gold pillar of light.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, a storm exploded in this seemingly boundless space.

The storm swept through, and although the purple light dimmed countless times, it still existed. A trace of helplessness flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and then his hand seals changed again, and another fierce soul wave surged out.

boom!

After the loud bang, the purple light finally dissipated completely.

'Emperor-level soul power?' In the darkness, the giant creature, which had already opened its eyes, looked at Xiao Yan's figure with some surprise. But soon, purple-gold light flashed, and a strange light seal condensed.

"I am the husband of the current Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void!"

Upon seeing the purple-gold light seal, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. If this were to be unleashed, he would inevitably have to have a fierce battle with his father-in-law. Therefore, he decisively shouted out such a sentence, and at the same time, several six-colored fire lotuses condensed—he was afraid that his father-in-law had been imprisoned for too long and had forgotten that he had a daughter!

As it turned out, Xiao Yan had been overthinking things. Almost the instant his words fell, the restless purple-gold light seal was crushed by a giant claw. It was at this moment that Xiao Yan saw those pale red eyes, which were hundreds of times larger than his entire body.

"The current husband of the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void?" The old Dragon Emperor stared intently at Xiao Yan. "...Evidence!"

Although the old Dragon Emperor's voice was somewhat cold, he was at least willing to communicate normally, so Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked seriously, "You should be the previous Dragon Emperor, right?"

"...That's right, Zhu Kun, the previous Dragon Emperor."

Although he couldn't see Xiao Yan's strength at first, after witnessing the Emperor-level soul power and those few fire lotuses, Zhu Kun was able to discern the strength of the human before him, and his tone softened somewhat.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Xiao Yan raised his hand and gently tore open a spatial rift...

"Wait, you go out first!" Sensing the aura of a dragon and phoenix emanating from Xiao Yan, Zhu Kun immediately stopped him, "Back then, I coveted the ancient emperor's cave and fell victim to the schemes of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, who trapped me here for nearly ten thousand years. If you bring her here..."

Xiao Yan paused slightly, then nodded and left the space in accordance with Zhu Kun's words.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had not encountered any resistance until he left this space, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Zhu Kun's eyes. He subconsciously raised his claws, wanting to try to leave this space.

However, just as he had felt over the past ten thousand years, a faint glow appeared in this space, shattering his desire to leave it once again.

"Alas, it's my fault. I shouldn't have relied on the talent of the Ancient Void Dragon and tried to monopolize this cave..." After sighing, Zhu Kun looked at Xiao Yan outside the space, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Hmm." After nodding, Xiao Yan gently tore open a spatial rift and brought Zi Yan, who was far away in the Star Boundary, over.

"Xiao Yan, what are you doing!" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan, who had dragged her from Zhongzhou, with some dissatisfaction.

"My child, my child!" Upon seeing Zi Yan appear and sensing the bloodline that belonged to him within her, Zhu Kun cried out excitedly.

The sudden sound startled Zi Yan, and instinctively she looked at Zhu Kun's true form, which was trapped in that space.

"Xiao Yan, who is he..." Feeling the throbbing of her bloodline, Zi Yan suddenly took a half step back, shrinking behind Xiao Yan, and asked in a trembling voice.

“Zhu Kun, the previous Dragon Emperor.” Xiao Yan sighed softly. Back then, Zi Yan lived alone in the deep mountains of the Black Corner Region. Although she was exceptionally talented, her life was not easy. And what caused all of this was the greed in the heart of the previous Dragon Emperor.

“Child…” Looking at Zi Yan huddled behind Xiao Yan, Zhu Kun was at a loss for a moment. Having been trapped in this space for nearly ten thousand years, he naturally had no experience in comforting his daughter.

"I am an orphan, I have no father or mother!" Zi Yan stubbornly denied, but tears kept welling up in her eyes.

"Child, don't cry, don't cry, it's all my fault. From now on, whatever you ask me to do, I will do. If you don't believe me, I can swear a solemn oath!"

Zhu Kun panicked instantly and frantically tried to break free of the space to comfort Zi Yan. However, all his attempts were blocked by the faint glow, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not budge an inch.

"This is a trap left by the ancient emperor Tuoshe..." Looking at Zi Yan, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and at the extremely flustered Zhu Kun, Xiao Yan sighed in his heart, turned around, hugged Zi Yan, and whispered in her ear, "All that senior could do back then was to send you out of this space... So, don't blame him, okay?"

"...That's right, it was that damned Tuoshe Ancient Emperor who set this trap for me!" Zhu Kun reacted instantly and immediately began to curse, "If it weren't for that bastard, how could I have let you live alone out there? It's all..."

Feeling Xiao Yan's body temperature and heartbeat, and seeing Zhu Kun's extremely flustered appearance, Zi Yan sniffed and finally calmed down.

Chapter 512 Dou Di (Final Chapter)

"Did Starfall Pavilion build a spatial tunnel leading to the former site of Canaan Academy?"

A month later, Hun Miesheng received a message from the Nine Heavens Venerable, who was secretly monitoring the Starfall Pavilion and the Flame Alliance.

If that spatial tunnel had led to any other address, Soul Extinction might have simply treated it as junk news. But it happened to be the former site of Canaan Academy, an address that the Soul Emperor had ordered all members of the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace to pay attention to…

Because they already knew that this address was very likely the location of the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave, all the Soul Extinction beings immediately transmitted the message to the Soul Realm after receiving it, and at the same time arranged for more people to investigate why the Starfall Pavilion would build such a spatial tunnel.

More than half a month later, in the Soul Realm.

"Is the previous Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan still alive?"

Upon receiving this news, the Soul Emperor unconsciously frowned—

If the Ancient Clan still only had two Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Gu Yuan and Xiao Yan, he believed that even if all the hidden agents buried in the Ancient Clan were exposed, he would still be the one to obtain the half-finished Emperor Pill in the end. However, the previous Taixu Ancient Dragon Emperor was also a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert, and after thousands of years of seclusion, that Dragon Emperor's strength might have been infinitely close to that of a Dou Di...

No, the Soul Emperor even suspected that the old Dragon Emperor's physical body had already reached the level of a level ten magical beast, but because of the current predicament of the Dou Qi Continent, he, like him, was unable to take the final step.

"What about Xiao Yan?" The Void Devouring Flame wasn't concerned with the so-called Old Dragon Emperor; he was more interested in news of Xiao Yan—

Ever since he saw the seven-colored strange fire in Xiao Yan's hand in the Medicine Realm, the doubts in Void Devouring Flame's heart have been accumulating more and more. He vaguely felt that he could actually figure out these doubts, but several months have passed and he still has no clue!

"It is said that he cultivated in seclusion in the magma beneath the former site of Canaan Academy," the Soul Emperor casually tossed a soul message to the Void Devouring Flame. "There are also rumors that the old Dragon Emperor is trapped in a special secret realm below, and only the soul power of an Emperor Realm expert can help him escape."

After receiving the soul message and carefully reviewing it, Void Devouring Flame's brows remained furrowed.

"Shall we begin the final plan now?" After a brief hesitation, Void Devouring Flame spoke directly.

"Six months," Soul Emperor rejected Void Devouring Flame's suggestion without hesitation. "After six months, whether Xiao Yan is in seclusion or helping that old Dragon Emperor break the seal, he won't be able to leave easily. That will be the best time to make a move!"

"This..." Void Devouring Flame hesitated, but he had no right to refuse the Soul Emperor's decision.

……

While Soul Emperor awaited the most opportune moment, Xiao Yan, in the underground magma world, had already consumed the Emperor Pill and, under the protection of Zhu Kun and Zi Yan, began attempting to break through the barrier of Dou Di.

Above the former site of Canaan Academy, many powerful members of the ancient dragon clan who traveled between the Northwest Continent and the Starfall Pavilion were modifying the surrounding mountains and forests little by little according to Xiao Yan's requirements.

According to Xiao Yan, the Soul Clan might collect the last four ancient jades in the coming years. And the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor would not simply tell later generations that his cave dwelling was only in the magma world. Therefore, the most distinctive feature is the direction of the mountain ranges on the surface.

"How long can we delay them?" On the way back to Starfall Pavilion after cutting off half of the mountain, Zhu Li pinched his chin and looked at Qi You beside him.

“In about six months, this mountain range will turn into a plain,” Qi You said calmly, looking ahead. “As long as those three races can guarantee that the ancient jade will not be taken away within six months, they can continue to delay.”

“It is said that the ancient jade is guarded by two old men who broke through to the Dou Sheng realm hundreds of years ago,” Zhu Li nodded thoughtfully. “Even if these two were spies of the Soul Clan from the beginning, as long as Gu Yuan of the ancient clan is still alive, the two ancient jades of the ancient clan cannot be lost.”

"They might be lured away by a diversionary tactic," Qi You said casually.

"That's none of our business... Speaking of which, if I asked Yao Chen to refine a precious pill for me, do you think he would agree?"

"You still have a ninth-tier magic core?"

"Hiss... It really is true. All the ninth-tier flat-feathered birds are gone, and the eighth-tier ones are being managed by that maid..." Zhu Li grinned. He had never eaten a ninth-grade precious pill before!

……

"...The ancient jades of the Ancient Clan, the Thunder Clan, and the Flame Clan have all been lost."

Six months later, Xun'er, in the Starfall Pavilion, received a message that made everyone's expression instantly turn serious.

"How did you do that?" Zhu Tian, ​​an eight-star Dou Sheng from the ancient dragon clan, asked incredulously.

"The elders of the three races who guarded the ancient jade were devoured by the Void Flame hundreds of years ago..." Xun'er said slowly, pursing her lips.

"No, I want to ask... where are the patriarchs of these three clans?" Zhu Tian interrupted Xun'er, his face full of irritation. "A few mere elders, do you think they could escape from their grasp?"

"The Soul Palace's branch hall near that so-called fourth level of the Heavenly Tomb has been destroyed," Yao Dan said softly. "According to the information that has been spread, the one that destroyed that branch hall was a power that cannot be destroyed by battle qi, that is... evil qi."

Everyone understood—

That so-called evil energy became the excuse for the Soul Emperor to lure away the patriarchs of the three clans.

"Moreover, the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan... A thousand years ago, the Four Demon Saints, who should have died at the hands of Senior Xiao Xuan, were guarding outside the Three Clans' Small World and took them away." Xun'er added, "Those four were all eight-star Dou Sheng."

Everyone fell silent.

At this moment, Xiao Yan is attempting to break through the barrier of the Dou Di realm. Zhu Kun is trapped in the Ancient Emperor's cave with no possibility of escape. Therefore, the only one who can hold off Hun Tiandi or Xu Wu Tun Yan is Gu Yuan. The patriarchs of the Lei Clan and Yan Clan, the Black Annihilation King of the Ancient Clan, and Zhu Tian might be able to hold off another one, but none of the remaining four eight-star Dou Sheng can hold them off...

The only good news is that after collecting all eight ancient jades, the Soul Clan did not immediately and openly head to the location of the ancient emperor's cave. Instead, they continuously dispatched members of the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan to search for something all over the continent.

One year later, above the former site of Canaan College.

After a year of searching, the Soul Clan finally determined that the only place they hadn't explored during that year was the mountains surrounding the former site of Canaan Academy... or rather, the mountains that once stood there.

Therefore, the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame led all the powerful members of the Soul Clan to descend upon this place.
