Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master.

Yao Lao's soul appeared behind Xiao Yan and then merged into Xiao Yan's body. Yao Lao wanted to use his soul power to stabilize the amazing energy that Xiao Yan suddenly unleashed.

"Flame Devouring Wave Ruler!"

Xiao Yan swung the Xuan Heavy Ruler, and a huge wave of fire that tore through space swept over, causing all the powerful figures around Han Feng to flee!

"Sea Heart Dragon Flame! Go!"

Han Feng's face was contorted with rage. He was incredibly jealous of the power Xiao Yan was unleashing at this moment, as it should have all belonged to him! Han Feng unleashed a strange fire formed by the fusion of the Sea Heart Flame and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, releasing a yellow and blue fire dragon.

Boom——

High in the sky, the old ghost who was dueling with Venerable Wind noticed something was wrong!

"Feng Xian! You're not a four-star Dou Zun anymore? You're a five-star Dou Zun now! No! You're a six-star Dou Zun!" Old Ghost Zhaixing roared angrily.

"Hmph! I've met an interesting person. We met a few times back then, and he gave me a hand. I also have to thank that old bastard Yao Chen. So today, I'll kill you!"

Venerable Feng's fighting spirit surged once more, and with a single palm strike, he shattered the internal organs of Old Ghost Zhaixing.

"Pfft~ So strong! Venerable Wind, I am indeed no match for you! But my Soul Palace has plenty of powerful figures! Celestial Venerables, come forth!"

The old ghost who picked stars took out several jade pieces and crushed them. A huge spatial rift was torn open again in the sky above Maple City, and six more figures walked out.

"Reaching for the stars? Give me an explanation." A cold, sharp voice rang out.

The leader was dressed in a blood-red robe, and his aura was incredibly powerful.

"Not good! It's the Blood River!" came the old medicine doctor's voice.

"What! There's a Dou Zun! Heavens, Second Grandfather, do you have another trick up your sleeve? Help!"

Xiao Yan had already knocked Han Feng to the ground, but the situation changed again!

"Oh no! So many high-level Dou Zun! This old man can't beat them! What should I do? Should I call the Ancestor?" Xiao Ting, who was Xiao Li's backup plan, stepped out from the void. He was a Dou Zun peak expert who was capable of handling most difficulties, but now he was too busy to deal with them.

"Yao Chen? A remnant of the Xiao clan. Since that's the case, then we'll..." The Fifth Heavenly Venerable sneered, then he realized something was wrong. He discovered that he couldn't use his spatial power!

"Oh no! The space here has been sealed off!" shouted Blood River, one of the Four Heavenly Venerables.

"Sigh~ The people from the Soul Palace are really fearless. But why did so few good-for-nothings show up? Oh well, none of them will leave today."

A clear, cold voice resounded throughout the land, causing the entire world to tremble violently.

boom--

A black and white fire dragon swept in from afar, engulfing all the scum belonging to the Soul Palace before the several Celestial Venerables in the sky could react.

In the distance, at the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, a long black and white fire trail stretched out, and a figure in a green robe walked slowly through the flames, arriving in Maple City in just a few steps.

"A Battle Saint!!! How is this possible!"

Chapter 252 All Killed

Over Maple City,

A figure in a green robe stood there, seemingly the world itself, emanating a faint but powerful aura that caused the Dou Zong and Dou Zun present to tremble.

"A Battle Saint, a true Battle Saint, not a Half-Saint!" Blood River Celestial Venerable wanted to call for reinforcements, but found himself unable to move.

"Hmm? All rotten garlic. I thought the Soul Palace would at least send Gu You or Shuo Wu. Oh well, it'll be you. Let your screams celebrate my becoming a Dou Sheng."

The man in the green robe pointed his finger, and a black fire dragon swept out, engulfing all the people from the Soul Hall.

Roar--

Wherever the black dragon passes, not a blade of grass grows.

After doing all this, the man in the green robe shook his head. Then, the black and white fire dragons gathered around him again, finally forming a black and white dragon-shaped halo behind his head.

"Sigh~ boring cheers. I was thinking of having a good match with the Soul Palace's Dou Sheng after just emerging from seclusion and achieving great success in body refinement. It seems there's no chance." Xiao Li shook his head and then came to Xiao Yan.

"Hmm~ Not bad. A six-star Dou Huang, your soul realm has barely reached the peak of the mortal realm. You possess four kinds of strange flames: Fallen Heart Flame, Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Netherworld Poison Flame, and Profound Yellow Flame. Not bad at all. I don't think it will be long before you catch up with me."

Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and praised him.

"Hehe, Second Grandfather, you flatter me. I was just lucky," Xiao Yan said with a grin, touching his nose.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elders and members of Canaan Academy. This is your reward of pills!" Xiao Li waved his hand, and more than a dozen jade bottles flew out. These were some of his stockpiles.

"You're too kind, Saint Xiao!" Elder Qianbai clasped his hands in a salute. Although Xiao Li respected them, they couldn't be arrogant, since strength was still the most important thing on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Thank you, Saint Xiao!"

Xiao Li nodded, then looked at a few people he knew.

"Xiao Yanzi, clean up a bit. We'll find a quiet place to catch up later," Xiao Li said with a faint smile, and then disappeared.

"Yes!" Xiao Yan clasped his hands in greeting, then looked at Han Feng: "Senior brother, my good senior brother, let me teach you a lesson!"

Han Feng was still in shock: "You, you, don't come any closer!"

. . . . . .

Beneath the magma world, the ancient emperor's cave

"Huh? You're back?" Zhu Kun looked up and saw that Xiao Li had returned to the same place.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Uncle. It was through your kindness that I was able to advance to the Dou Sheng realm!" Xiao Li said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Hey~ There's no need for such formalities with me. You already have the foundation, and I'm just helping you save a few years of arduous training," Zhu Kun said, waving his dragon claw.

"Xiao Li!"

Zi Yan's Rocket Headbutt (Battle Saint Edition) is here!

"Pfft~ Here you go again~" Xiao Li couldn't dodge the attack again and was sent flying far away by Zi Yan. Xiao Li felt his stomach churning and felt a bit nauseous.

"Hehe, I finally managed to bump into you!" Zi Yan said with a laugh, hugging Xiao Li's neck.

Zhu Kun, standing to the side, twitched his eyelids: 'Is this brat that important to Yan'er? Judging from his tone, this isn't the first time Yan'er has done this. Damn it! That brat!'

Why does Zi Yan like to headbutt Xiao Li? It's actually Zi Yan's instinct, or more accurately, an instinct of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!

When one Ancient Void Dragon falls in love with another, the two will transform into their true forms and engage in a thrilling duel. The Ancient Void Dragon can win the other's affection by winning the duel!

Basically, most of the love affairs of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan are like this, even Zhu Kun is the same, which is why Zhu Kun is so speechless.

Because Zi Yan has been human for too long, she has developed the habit of being in human form, but her bloodline instincts have not changed, so Zi Yan likes to bump into Xiao Li in human form.

Xiao Li had successfully resisted many times before, which aroused Zi Yan's competitive spirit. That's why Zi Yan kept trying to ram into Xiao Li. Now, Zi Yan has finally succeeded.

(P.S.: This is a humorous parody, using characteristics of certain animals in nature. Just enjoy it for fun.)

"Sigh~" Zhu Kun sighed. There was nothing he could do about his daughter's feelings; as her father, he couldn't stop her.

"Father, Xiao Li and I are going out. I plan to go back to Dragon Island afterward to reorganize it and reunify it! We will carry forward the glory of the Ancient Dragons of the Void!"

Zi Yan also withdrew her previous smile and transformed into a noble and aloof beauty with a kingly aura.

"Very good, my son, I am very happy that you have such ambition. It is a pity that I am trapped here and cannot witness the day when you ascend to the throne of the Dragon Emperor," Zhu Kun said with disappointment.

Zi Yan hugged Zhu Kun and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll come to see you often."

"Yes, Xiao Li, I'm entrusting my son to you. Make sure she doesn't encounter any threats, or I'll hold you accountable!" Zhu Kun said sternly to Xiao Li.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely protect Ziyan." Xiao Li nodded.

"Tch~ Bullshit, who's protecting whom is still uncertain. You're only a mid-stage one-star Dou Sheng, while I'm a late-stage two-star Dou Sheng. You're far inferior to me!"

Zi Yan crossed her arms and said that she was not very optimistic about Xiao Li's cultivation level, or rather, she was extremely confident in her own strength!

Indeed, after being baptized by Zhu Kun's heart essence and blood, and with the assistance of the Dragon Emperor's Seal, Zi Yan has completely awakened the Dragon Emperor's bloodline. At this time, Zi Yan is in a stage of rapid increase in strength. If she has enough opportunities, Zi Yan can advance to the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng within two hundred years!

This is the domineering power of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline! It is no less than the divine bloodlines of those imperial clans.

In the past three years, Zi Yan has not only greatly improved her strength, but also learned most of the unique skills of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, including some extremely powerful secret techniques.

Xiao Li's progress was that he successfully broke through to the Dou Sheng realm and consumed the Thousand Demon Saint's essence that he had previously reserved, reaching the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng. Unfortunately, the Dou Sheng essence no longer provided much improvement for a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

Afterwards, Xiao Li completely refined the soul essence of the Thousand Demon Saint, thereby breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

With the addition of Zhu Kun's heart essence blood, Xiao Li's Undying Beast Body was fully perfected. Xiao Li could transform into a beast and become a humanoid Ancient Void Dragon. Xiao Li's physical body was no less than that of the Ancient Void Dragon race, perfectly solving the shortcoming that the physical bodies of human Dou Sheng were generally weaker than those of magical beasts!

"Hehe." Zhu Kun affectionately patted Zi Yan's head: "I missed your childhood, and I'm afraid I'll miss your future too. It's all my fault for being greedy. But I'm very happy to see you grow up happily."

"Dad, is there really no way to get you out?" Zi Yan asked dejectedly.

"Yes, one of them brought the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, but according to Xiao Li, the ancient jade was divided into eight pieces and hidden among those Dou Di families, so it's not easy to get it. Xiao Li also said that there are two people outside whose cultivation is no less than my father's."

Even if I could go out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to collect all the ancient imperial jade.

Secondly, it's possible that you or Xiao Li could break through to the Dou Di realm, but that's unlikely. The Emperor's Origin needed to break through to the Dou Di realm is long gone. The only place where it still exists is in the Ancient Emperor's Cave behind me.

As for the third possibility, that's extremely unlikely.

"What is the third point? Can I do it?" Zi Yan asked earnestly.

"Thirdly, can you find the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, the supreme treasure of my magical beast race? Unfortunately, this kind of treasure should have become extinct. After all, the birth of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit requires an ancient celestial phoenix and our ancient Void Dragon to fight to the death and perish together before there is a chance of it being born."

But I killed the last ancient phoenix back then, so there probably aren't any ancient phoenixes left now, and the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit has been completely lost in the long river of time.

"If we have the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, my son can consume it and evolve into a Supreme Dragon-Phoenix. When he reaches the peak of his Dragon-Phoenix form, he can perhaps rescue me. After all, it's rumored that a fully-fledged Dragon-Phoenix can challenge even a Dou Di (Battle Emperor)."

Hearing Zhu Kun's words, Xiao Li thought to himself, "A Great Completion Dragon-Phoenix can challenge a Dou Di? That sounds so familiar. A Great Completion Sacred Body can challenge a Great Emperor? Wow, impressive! Speaking of which, I actually know the location of a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit."

Zi Yan nodded: "I will definitely find the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit to save you."

Chapter 253 Master and Disciple?

"Uncle, if you had the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, would you be able to come out after consuming it?" Xiao Li asked.

"It should be possible. My cultivation has already reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and my soul has also reached the Emperor realm. At this level, I can become a Half-Emperor, and my cultivation cannot advance any further. If there really is a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, it could allow me to take another half step forward."

This half-step can be called the pseudo-Battle Emperor realm. At that time, she will become the Supreme Dragon Phoenix who has achieved great success. However, I still hope that Yan'er can take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

After all, every father wants his daughter to have a better life. And while it's true that the Great Dragon Phoenix can challenge a Dou Di, there are different levels of strength among Dou Di. This Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is no ordinary Dou Di.

What if consuming the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit proves useless? Wouldn't that be a complete waste? But then again, where can I find a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit now? Show me one if you dare! If you do, I'll grant you three requests!

Zhu Kun waved his hand and said self-deprecatingly, in his opinion, there should be no more Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits on this Dou Qi Continent. The ancient Heavenly Phoenix is ​​gone, so how could there be Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits?

“Alright! But Uncle, the day you are freed from this predicament should not be far off. Among the imperial clans, my Xiao clan has already declined and is only just beginning to recover. Clans like the Spirit Clan, Stone Clan, and Medicine Clan are merely clinging to life.”

The two strongest races are the Ancient Race and the Soul Race. The Ancient Race's patriarch, Gu Yuan, is not ambitious enough and is good at maintaining the status quo, so he will inevitably run into trouble sooner or later. Meanwhile, the Soul Race's patriarch, Soul Emperor, is ambitious and is already plotting against the Ancient Emperor Jade.

"It won't be long before he collects all the Ancient Emperor Jade and comes to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave. Uncle, you must be ruthless towards him then, preferably killing him outright!"

Xiao Li told Zhu Kun about some things that would happen in the future so that he could make arrangements in advance.

"The Soul Emperor, is that it? I'll remember that. I'll definitely give him a good beating when the time comes." Zhu Kun nodded. Naturally, if there was hope of getting out, he would definitely take it seriously.

"Uncle, Ziyan and I are about to leave. Thinking that you might be bored, we'd like to leave you some toys to pass the time."

Xiao Li smiled slightly and gave Zhu Kun all the storybooks and some interesting trinkets.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Zhu Kun nodded, finding it truly boring to stare blankly into the darkness in this gloomy place.

Goodbye, Uncle!

"Goodbye, Dad!"

Xiao Li and Zi Yan left, and Zhu Kun nodded and sighed, "Sigh~ It's gotten quiet again. Let me see if there are any interesting books. Hmm? 'The Overbearing Fighting Saint Falls in Love with Me, the One with Fighting Qi'? I recognize every single word, but I don't understand them when they're put together. Let me see."

. . . . . .

Black Corner Region, Maple City

The Black Alliance has now collapsed. Xiao Yan led his forces to plow through the entire Black Corner Region, eliminating, suppressing, and incorporating those forces that had joined the Black Alliance.

"Old man, you little beast, you... Aaaaaaah!"

"Has your mouth always been this foul?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan was interrogating Han Feng, but Han Feng remained stubborn and foul-mouthed. So Xiao Yan used the Fallen Heart Flame to burn Han Feng's soul, since the Fallen Heart Flame has a special effect on souls.

"Sigh~" The old doctor stood quietly to the side, his eyes filled with disappointment and heartache.

"That beast Chen doesn't deserve this from you. If it weren't for her disappearance back then, why would you have taken the liberty of saving his life? Saving his life was already a great favor, but this guy is heartless and ungrateful, a complete ingrate. Since you can't bring yourself to do it, then I will!"

The Wind Venerable said sternly. He had wanted to kill Han Feng long ago after learning the truth, but Yao Chen was soft-hearted, and the Wind Venerable was really afraid that Yao Chen would be soft-hearted and let Han Feng go.

"Sigh~ I'll ask him myself. Little Flame, put away the Fallen Heart Flame." Yao Lao sighed and floated in front of Han Feng.

"Yes, teacher." Xiao Yan put away the Fallen Heart Flame and stood aside with his arms crossed.
