A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Although the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is very fierce, with a powerful body and unparalleled defense, it is still in its infancy and cannot use its innate supernatural powers, so it has reached a stalemate.

Fortunately, Medusa came up with a solution, inspired by Xian'er's Ten Thousand Poisons Elimination Mist. When Yunshan is caught in a rage, she will unconsciously gasp for breath, which is her chance.

It should be noted that once you reach the Dou Zong cultivation level, you no longer need to breathe; you can meet your needs simply by relying on internal circulation. However, Kuang Bao Yun Shan only has some instincts, and breathing happens to be an instinct. Previously, because everyone was a Dou Zong, Medusa overlooked the fact that Yun Shan was still breathing.

Medusa smiled enchantingly, but her beautiful smile was meant to take lives. After Medusa's poisonous mist spread around Yunshan, although he still tried to disperse it by punching, he could only create a vacuum in part of the mist before quickly filling it again.

As Yunshan breathed, he inhaled large amounts of poisonous gas into his body. In his berserk state, Yunshan would subconsciously try to repair his injuries. As long as the poisonous gas was not removed, it would continue to seep into his lungs and internal organs, and the amount of vital energy needed for repair would increase.

Yunshan eventually regained consciousness, but it was too late. His life force had dried up, and his body resembled an Egyptian mummy—dried up, decaying, and devoid of vitality.

Yunshan lay on the ground, his barely perceptible chest heaving, a sign that he was not yet dead, but not far from it either. He turned his head to look at Medusa, his eyes flashing with astonishing resentment and hatred.

"Medusa, I'll be waiting for you down there! It won't take long! Haha! Hahaha~!"

With a faint, feeble laugh, and carrying a curse upon Medusa, she died a miserable and lonely death in a corner of this deserted place.

"Finally solved. I've been watching from the sidelines for ages. It was too slow. You need to learn some powerful fighting techniques. You were worn down by Yunshan."

Just as Medusa was preparing to head towards Yunhua's battlefield, Yunhua's voice came from the sky, and then Yunhua walked out of the void.

"Hmph! Mind your own business. I have my own plans. If I hadn't just broken through recently and hadn't had time to learn powerful fighting techniques, I wouldn't be like this." Medusa turned around, not letting Yunhua see her blushing face.

"Uh, I never expected that the mighty Queen Medusa would have such a tsundere side!" Yunhua said, looking completely stunned.

"What is tsundere? Explain it to me." Medusa turned around and glared at Yunhua.

"Haha! Well! You heard it too, the Soul Palace knows about you. What are your plans?" Yun Hua chuckled, scratching the back of his head, and changed the subject.

"No more investigation. Take the elite snake people directly to the Black Corner Region and seize a decent place."

"Alright then, I'm also getting ready to go to the Black Corner Region. Call me when you're ready."

------------

Three months later, the northwestern fortress of the Empire was reinforced.

Because Medusa was leading thousands of powerful snake-people to the Black Corner Region, they needed to pass through the Jiama Empire. Therefore, Yunhua and Medusa specifically went to Jiaxingtian of the Jiama Empire to obtain a passage decree.

The desert where the snake people lived was located in the eastern part of the Jiama Empire, while the Black Corner Region was located in the northwest of the Jiama Empire. This is why the two Dou Zong (Battle Masters) demanded that Jia Xingtian escort them across the border. Faced with two Dou Zong and thousands of snake-people powerhouses, this force, capable of destroying the Jiama Empire, dared not stop them.

And so, under the escort of Jia Xingtian, Yunhua and Medusa passed through the Jiama Empire without hindrance and arrived at the northwestern border fortress.

"Thank you for your escort these past few days, Elder Jia. Farewell." Yunhua said, cupping his hands in thanks to Jia Xingtian.

"Haha, hello gentlemen, farewell." Jia Xingtian said as if he were seeing off a plague god.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, Yunhua and Medusa passed through the fortress gates as if no one was there, heading towards the chaotic Black Corner Region.

"Damn it, finally I don't have to see you two evil gods anymore. I'm exhausted." Jia Xingtian was definitely suffering in silence. How could he dare to refuse the requests of two Dou Zong?

They could have easily conquered the Jiama Empire and taken it for themselves. Now, it's unclear why they're going to the Black Corner Region instead of attacking the Jiama Empire.

Jia Xingtian didn't think too much about it. He immediately ordered the border general not to obstruct Medusa and Yunhua from crossing the border, then spread his battle qi wings and flew back to the capital.

A month later, with Yunhua's help, Medusa quickly conquered a territory that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although the area was not very large, it was enough for the snake people to develop.

This place was originally the territory of a barbarian tribe, guarded by two Dou Huangs. Unfortunately, they encountered two Dou Zongs and were thus defeated. All the strongmen were killed, and the rest were used as slaves to build some infrastructure.

Located near the central Canaan College, this area is surrounded by mountains and has a flat central basin rich in resources.

Two months later, Yunhua turned thirteen and his cultivation reached the late stage of the fourth level of the Golden Core realm, at which point he could break through to the fifth level at any time.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Do You Want a Wife or Not?

After breaking through, Yunhua bid farewell to Medusa and headed towards Canaan Academy. Along the way, she witnessed a great deal of bloodshed, a testament to the chaos of the Black Corner Region, where the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, was fully embodied.

There is no order here. As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want. Moreover, this place can be considered the black market of several major empires in the surrounding area.

Anything of dubious origin or smuggled goods will be sold here. If you have money, you can even buy Earth-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills.

All sorts of resources converge here; people get rich or die here every day, but people also keep coming in.

However, the only orderly place is Canaan Academy in the center. Within a certain area around it, it is extremely peaceful. No one dares to act recklessly at Canaan Academy because it has two Dou Zong powerhouses.

Canaan Academy, an ancient academy located in the center of the Black Corner Region, has produced many powerful figures over the centuries, all of whom have made a name for themselves on the continent.

The most terrifying aspect of an academy is not how strong its faculty is, but the thousands of powerful individuals who have graduated from it. If Canaan Academy were to face a crisis of destruction and summon back those powerful individuals who graduated from the academy, it would be unimaginable how terrifying that force would be.

Although there are countless academies on the continent, Canaan Academy has always been at the forefront and has never been surpassed. This shows how profound the foundation of this academy, which is surrounded by ancient aura, is.

Behind Canaan Academy, Xiao Yan was on a large rock, trying to increase his Dou Qi. Unfortunately, even when the sun was high in the sky, he had not increased his Dou Qi. Instead, another wisp of it disappeared silently.

"Alas, I, Xiao Yan, was a genius. I became a Dou Zhe at seven, a Dou Shi at nine, and a Da Dou Shi at twelve. Yet now I have fallen to such a state, dropping to a one-star Dou Shi in just one year."

Xiao Yan lay on a large rock, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, staring blankly at the sky, as if reminiscing about his days of genius.

After all, when Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er entered Canaan Academy, they caused a sensation. As Dou Shi who were less than ten years old and not even one-star Dou Shi, they caused a huge uproar.

Unfortunately, a few years later, his cultivation level dropped directly from a Great Dou Master to a One-Star Dou Master. If he hadn't been working hard and never given up, he probably would have dropped to a Dou Zhe.

"Brother Xiao Yan, is there still no improvement? Don't worry, Brother Xiao Yun should be able to resolve this when he arrives." Xiao Xun'er also walked up the back mountain and comforted the dejected Xiao Yan.

At the age of twelve, Xiao Xun'er had already reached the Nine-Star Dou Ling level. This was not only due to her own talent, but also because she had cultivated the Nourishing Yuan Technique created by Xiao Yun since she was a child.

"Little Yunzi? I wonder where he's been all these years, what realm he's at, probably a Dou Huang? I wonder when he'll come to Canaan Academy?" Xiao Yan thought of his younger brother, the protagonist of destiny, and thought that with his talent and ability, he should be able to solve his problems.

"Brother Xiao Yun is indeed good at creating miracles, let's believe in him!" Xiao Xun'er also had Ling Ying examine Xiao Yan's body, but unfortunately there was nothing to be found.

"Oh my, it's rare to hear people missing me as soon as I arrive. Xiao Yanzi and Xun'er, do you miss me that much?"

"Who! It's Xiaoyunzi!"

"Brother Xiao Yun! It's been so long!"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er first heard a familiar voice, and then saw the void in front of them be torn open, and a handsome young man walked out, looking at the two of them with a smile.

Xiao Yan was completely shocked. What did he see? Xiao Yun tore open space and appeared in the air, standing there out of thin air.

Xiao Xun'er was also somewhat surprised. She thought Xiao Yun should have reached the Dou Huang level, but she underestimated him. He was at least a Dou Zun, a Dou Zun at the age of thirteen.

"Little Yunzi, what level of strength do you have? You can actually tear through space and stand in the void." Xiao Yan was beginning to understand the weight of being the protagonist of destiny.

“That’s right, Brother Xiao Yun, what realm are you at? You’re even more powerful than the Dean of the Dou Zong Sect.” Xiao Xun’er said with a charming smile.

"So-so, about nine-star Dou Zong, I guess. Even a typical Dou Zun wouldn't be a match for me." Yun Hua walked down from the void and onto the large rock, speaking calmly.

"Dou... Dou Zong, that's so-so. Even Dou Zun isn't a match for you!" Xiao Yan's lips twitched. Sometimes he really wanted to ask himself if he and Xiao Yun were the same species.

"Brother Xiao Yun is really amazing! With that kind of strength, he could roam freely throughout Zhongzhou." Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Hahaha! You're only so-so. I've heard quite a few rumors about the two of you along the way."

"They are all geniuses. Although Xiao Yanzi's strength has declined over the past year, he is still in the first tier. Xun'er has even reached the nine-star Dou Ling level. She is the strongest genius and everyone's dream goddess."

Yunhua sat down and said with a grin.

"Well, I'm only being talked about because my strength has declined," Xiao Yan said helplessly.

"Hehe, she's not as amazing as Brother Xiao Yun makes her out to be," Xun'er said shyly. The idea of ​​her being a dream goddess was just too embarrassing.

"Oh, right, Xiao Yan, this is a letter from your father. He asked me to give it to you." Yun Hua took out a letter from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan took the letter and slowly began to read it, but the more he read, the more his expression changed, and in the end he let out a long sigh.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what did Uncle Xiao Zhan write to you that made your expression change so much?"

"Um, my father has arranged a marriage for me, it's a childhood betrothal, and he wants me to visit my future father-in-law's house when I have time." Xiao Yan said with a sour face, looking extremely unhappy.

"Hahaha! Not bad, little Yanzi, you've already got a wife at such a young age, you've reached the pinnacle of life! Old Yan, do you want a wife? Just say the word and I'll bring her over, pfft! Hahaha!"

"Damn it, don't laugh! Why didn't they arrange a marriage for you when you were little? Why did they choose me?" Xiao Yan said through gritted teeth.

"Pfft! Hahaha! Sorry, I'm professionally trained. No matter how funny it is, I won't laugh, pfft! Hahaha! Unless I can't help it! Hahaha!" Yunhua rolled on the ground laughing, clutching her stomach.

"Ah~! Little Yunzi! I'm going to kill you! Give me your life!" Xiao Yan stood up and grabbed Yun Hua by the neck.

"How wicked! How could Brother Xiao Yun become so wicked! Brother Xiao Yan is in such a miserable state, and you're still laughing so happily, pfft! Hehehe!" Xiao Xun'er righteously criticized Yun Hua, but as she spoke, she burst into laughter, letting out a series of "hehehe" laughs.

"Damn it, none of you are allowed to laugh. It's just a childhood betrothal, you're just jealous." Xiao Yan tried to convince himself.

"Ah, right, right, right!" Yun Hua stood up, and her "right, right, right" almost broke Xiao Yan's defenses again.

"Tell me quickly who your concubine is, so I can be happy and not not recognize her when we meet in the future," Yunhua said with a sly grin.

"It's Nalan Yanran from the Nalan family in the capital. She's now a disciple of the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect," Xiao Yan said helplessly. Meeting such a shameless person as Xiao Yun was truly bad luck.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Strange Old Man Who Absorbed the Essence of Young Men

"Oh! Nalan Yanran, I know her. I've heard she's quite talented. Do you think she agrees to this marriage?" Yunhua asked with a gossipy look on her face.

Xiao Yan's expression was solemn. He had a premonition that his fiancée might not be someone to be trifled with, but he didn't know how to deal with it at the moment.

"Alright, Brother Xiao Yun, why don't you look into why Brother Xiao Yan's Dou Qi mysteriously disappeared?" Xun'er stopped joking and instead raised Xiao Yan's question.

"Oh, I know that. I knew it back in Wutan City," Yunhua said calmly.

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? Now my strength has declined and I'm being laughed at." Xiao Yan grabbed Yun Hua by the collar and said angrily.

"Well, it's not because Xiao Yanzi's strength has improved too quickly that I thought I wouldn't tell him, so he could temper his character," Yunhua said as if stating a truth.

"Nonsense, if you're talking about rapid improvement in strength, it's you who needs to hone your character," Xiao Yan said angrily.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot. It turns out I still need to work on my character." Yunhua said, scratching her cheek with her finger.

"Brother Xiao Yun, stop teasing Brother Xiao Yan! Tell us how to solve this!" Xun'er said, looking at the two of them with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

“Alright, alright, actually it’s because of the ring your mother left you,” Yunhua said, pointing to Xiao Yan’s finger.

Xiao Yan immediately took off the ring, then sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Innate Primordial Chaos Technique. He soon felt that his strength was indeed recovering, and his battle qi was no longer being absorbed.

"Why is this? A ring could make my fighting spirit disappear," Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

"Hahaha, well, that's because there's a weird old man in your ring who likes to absorb the essence of young men," Yunhua said with a sly smile.

"What?! Are you kidding me? What old man who sucks people's essence? It sounds so harmonious!" Xiao Yan was shocked and picked up the ring, searching through it again and again.

"Haha, isn't battle qi the essence? Aren't you just a young man? As for the strange old man, do I need to invite you out?" Yunhua said with a smile to the ring.

"Cough cough cough! These young people nowadays really don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young. They actually brought me some weird old man who absorbs human essence. How rude!" Yao Chen floated out of the ring and coughed awkwardly a few times.

"Hey, you old geezer, why are you hiding in my ring and secretly absorbing my essence—cough cough, my fighting spirit?" Xiao Yan asked angrily.

"This ring isn't yours, it's mine. As for Dou Qi, it's just because I accepted your offerings for two years. With my guidance, you'll soon be able to cultivate back to your former glory and stand at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent," Yao Chen said righteously, without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

"Nonsense, do you think I should thank you? Even without your help, I could still stand at the top of the Dou Qi Continent by clinging to Xiao Yunzi's leg."

"Boy, although your brother is indeed a freak I've never seen before, I am a renowned eighth-grade alchemist, known as the Medicine Venerable. How about it? After absorbing your battle qi for two years, you becoming my disciple to learn alchemy isn't a bad deal, right? Besides, your battle qi became more solid than others of the same realm precisely because of my absorption." Yao Chen shamelessly swindled.

"Ah! That's amazing! Alright then, I want to learn alchemy. I'd like to pay my respects to my teacher." Xiao Yan, shameless as ever, immediately bowed.

"Master Medicine, how about we make a deal? I need your alchemy technique inheritance, and I'll exchange it for my self-created soul cultivation method. This method can be practiced even in a soul state, and upon reaching the Supreme Realm, the soul can even duel a Saint. What do you say?" Yun Hua said, taking out a jade slip.

This Soul Codex was created by Yunhua by drawing inspiration from the Great Evolution Technique of Mortal Cultivation and the Immortal Platform Scroll of Covering the Sky. It is extremely powerful, with lofty aspirations, and aims to reach the Heavenly Supreme.

"Can I take a look? If it's really as you say, then I'll trade with you," Yao Chen said eagerly.

"Yes, you can watch freely. You can probe into it with your soul. Xiao Yanzi and Xun'er can also supplement their training. It's quite good for alchemy and casting soul battle techniques," Yunhua said, handing over the jade slip.

Following Yunhua's instructions, Yao Chen directly channeled his soul power and quickly obtained a cultivation technique called Soul Palace. He focused his mind and carefully deduced it. After trying to visualize the first visualization diagram, he indeed felt his soul become more solid.

After a short while, the three of them reopened their eyes and looked at Yun Hua as if he were a monster. This was because there were many soul fighting techniques created by Yun Hua, mostly Earth-rank and Heaven-rank techniques. Moreover, this technique directly reached the Heavenly Sovereign level, and through this Soul Scripture, they also learned what the Heavenly Sovereign was.

"Young friend Xiao Yun, I'll exchange with you. Do you have any blank jade slips left so I can inscribe them?" Yao Chen learned the method of making jade slips from the Soul Codex.

Yunhua handed over a blank jade slip. After Yaochen finished engraving it, Yunhua immediately picked it up and began to examine it. Inside were pill formulas from grade one to grade nine collected by Yaochen, as well as his unique alchemy techniques. It could be said that it greatly supplemented Yunhua's knowledge of alchemy.

"Haha! It's been a pleasure working together. From now on, I'll have to trouble Venerable Medicine to take care of Xiao Yanzi." Yun Hua was extremely happy to have achieved one of his goals.

"I will naturally teach Xiao Yan well. I'm counting on him to refine my physical body," Yao Chen said decisively.

"Oh, right, Xiao Yanzi, I brought you a gift, and Xun'er has one too," Yunhua said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Brother Xiao Yun, what kind of gift is it? If it's just a perfunctory gift, I won't accept it." Xun'er asked.

"Take a look. I haven't received a gift from you in all these years," Xiao Yan said.

"Hey, this is for Xiao Yanzi's strange fire, a Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. Xun'er already has a strange fire. Also, each of you will receive a Green Lotus Transformation Pill, which can transform you, enhance your aptitude, and increase your strength. Finally, each of you will receive a suit of armor that I crafted. Wearing it will allow you to defeat enemies of a higher realm and also defend against damage from Dou Zun and below."

"A strange fire! It's actually a precious strange fire!" Yao Chen was initially surprised that such a valuable thing could be brought out.

"Wow, I never thought I, Xiao Yan, would one day possess a different kind of fire." Xiao Yan held the fire bead in his hand, grinning and showing his back teeth.

"Damn it, I'm one piece less than Brother Xiao Yan! But this skirt armor is so beautiful! It can even defend against attacks from Dou Zun level cultivators. It's amazing!" Xun'er immediately hugged the skirt armor tightly.
