Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

"Xian'er, can you sense the Netherworld Poison Fire now?" Xiao Yue asked the Little Fairy Doctor beside her.

Just now, she used her peak spiritual realm divine sense to shroud the entire Netherworld Poison Swamp, but she didn't find anything unusual. The poisonous miasma here has the effect of corroding people's divine sense, and even Xiao Yue's soul perception was greatly weakened at this moment.

"The Netherworld Poison Fire seems to know we're looking for it; it's hiding now, and I can't detect anything..."

After closing her eyes and sensing for a moment, Little Fairy Doctor shook her head. Then she said uncertainly, "However, there seems to be something strange about the north side of the Poison Swamp."

"North..."

Xiao Yue extended her divine sense to the northern region.

Her peak spiritual perception allowed her to see everything within a radius of hundreds of miles in her mind, but her perception was still somewhat affected, so she could not fully perceive everything.

"Let's go take a look first."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yue led Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan to the northern part of the area.

at the same time,

Deep beneath the northern part of the Netherworld Poison Swamp, a ball of dark purple, butterfly-shaped flame was burning quietly. But then, as if sensing something, it suddenly burst into flames.

As the poisonous fire in the deepest part of the swamp stirred, the surface of the entire swamp was also stirred up, and a large amount of poison was discharged to the surface, burning up intense blackish-purple poisonous smoke.

"It seems we are getting close to it."

Xiao Yue frowned, her spiritual sense detecting something unusual deep within the poisonous swamp.

"Xian'er, protect Zi Yan. I'll handle what happens next," Xiao Yue instructed Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded. She knew Xiao Yue's strength and knew that she was indeed the most suitable person to deal with this situation. She gently protected the little girl behind her.

Zi Yan pouted slightly, thinking that it was still uncertain who would protect whom.

The three continued to venture further north. As they got closer, the poisonous smoke around them grew thicker and thicker, as if the entire space had been shrouded in darkness.

But Xiao Yue's spiritual sense became clearer and clearer, and she could feel that powerful flames approaching them.

"It's coming."

Xiao Yue suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

A powerful aura erupted from her, as if it would blow away the surrounding poisonous smoke.

In front of them, a huge, dark purple flame was slowly rising. The shape of the flame was like a giant butterfly, its wings fluttering gently, radiating terrifying heat.

"This is the Netherworld Poison Fire?"

Xiao Yue stared in surprise at the purplish-purple butterfly in the air. Its wingspan was hundreds of meters, and the beautiful patterns on its wings looked extremely pretty.

“Hmm——!”

The sound of the Netherworld Poison Butterfly is like the cry of a baby, or a call from the abyss, sending chills down one's spine. With each flap of its wings, a powerful venomous flame spreads, seemingly capable of corroding everything.

It had clearly evolved to an astonishing degree, developing its own consciousness. At this moment, its beautiful wings flapped, emitting terrifying poisonous flames that could corrode space, and it kept hissing, issuing provocations and warnings to the three of them.

"Let me do it."

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor was about to make a move, Xiao Yue said softly.

Then, she simply took a step forward, and instantly, a vast surge of soul power, like endless waves, swept across the sky, bringing with it an exceptionally terrifying pressure that pressed down on the Netherworld Poison Butterfly. Along its path, space trembled, and traces of dark cracks quietly spread!
Although the power of the soul is invisible and colorless, those with even a little strength can feel the terrifying pressure that permeates the sky. This pressure originates from the depths of the soul, making people feel almost trembling.

"Hey!"

The Netherworld Poison Butterfly seemed to sense a threat, and suddenly let out a deafening shriek. Then its body trembled violently, and countless small Netherworld Poison Butterflies split off from its body!

The small Netherworld Poison Butterflies fluttered in the air, emitting wisps of poisonous smoke, surrounding Xiao Yue and her companions. Although these poison butterflies were much smaller, their numbers were astonishing, and each one exuded a terrifying aura no weaker than the original Netherworld Poison Butterfly.

"interesting."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes.

It seems that this Netherworld Poison Flame has existed for much longer than any other strange flame she has ever seen, and has even evolved to the point where she can use such advanced techniques.

Although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame have already begun to take form and possess sentience, they are clearly not yet able to achieve this.

"Om-!"

Xiao Yue's spiritual sense expanded instantly, surging out like a giant wave, defeating the small Netherworld Poison Butterflies one by one. However, these poison butterflies seemed endless; every time she dispersed a batch, new poison butterflies would immediately replenish their ranks.

"It seems we'll have to resort to some special methods."

Xiao Yue silently recited the mantra in her mind. She reached out and a powerful soul force condensed in her palm, gradually forming a huge soul vortex.

The vortex spun at an astonishing speed, sucking in the surrounding poisonous smoke and butterflies. The small, ghostly poisonous butterflies struggled and cried out within the vortex, but to no avail; they were quickly swallowed up completely.

Even the giant Netherworld Poison Butterfly couldn't withstand such a drain. It let out a shrill scream and then lunged at Xiao Yue, its wings burning with raging poisonous flames, as if it wanted to incinerate everything.

"Fifth Divine Restriction - Open."

Xiao Yue was not afraid at all. She silently recited a phrase in her mind, and then an even more powerful soul force surged out from her body. This force seemed to be boundless and enveloped her entire body.

The enormous soul vortex instantly grew even larger, as if it were about to devour the entire Netherworld Poison Swamp.

The enormous Netherworld Poison Butterfly struggled under the suction of the soul vortex, but was eventually sucked into it.

“Hmm——!”

The Netherworld Poisonous Butterfly let out a shrill scream within the vortex of souls, its voice filled with fear and despair. But no matter how it struggled, it could not escape the vortex's hold.

Xiao Yue continuously manipulated the soul vortex, tightly binding the Netherworld Poison Butterfly within it.

Time passed second by second, and the Netherworld Poison Butterfly finally couldn't hold on any longer. Its huge body began to tremble and shrink in Xiao Yue's hand, eventually turning into a ball of dark purple flame, which was slowly taken into her palm.

This time,

The Netherworld Poison Butterfly finally calmed down and was subdued by Xiao Yue in her hand.

…Sister Xiao Yue, someone's here.

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly spoke up.

Xiao Yue nodded, then looked into the distance.

A group of elderly men dressed in black robes were rapidly approaching. The leader was an old man with a sinister face, who was none other than the Lord of the Centipede Heaven Palace. Xiao Yue's subduing of the Netherworld Poison Butterfly had caused quite a commotion, which had obviously alerted these people.

"You friends have trespassed into my Wutian Mansion territory to subdue the Netherworld Poison Fire without even exchanging greetings with me. Isn't that going a bit too far?" the leading elder said, seemingly somewhat wary.

"This Netherworld Poison Fire is a creation of heaven and earth, an unclaimed object. Moreover, when did this Netherworld Poison Swamp become the territory of your Centipede Heaven Palace?" Xiao Yue replied calmly.

Unlike the Yunlan Sect of the Jia Ma Empire, the Chuyun Empire has two forces that are above the royal family: the Wanxie Sect and the Wutian Mansion. Both are quite powerful, with several Douhuang experts in charge. It is even rumored that the Wanxie Sect has an ancestor who has broken through to the Douzong level.

"Leaving aside the matter of trespassing into the territory of my Chuyun Empire, my friend, I assure you in the name of the Wutian Mansion that if you are willing to relinquish your Strange Flame, I will grant you any request you may make," the Wutian Mansion Lord said, narrowing his eyes.

Xiao Yue shook her head and refused.

"So you're unwilling to hand over the strange fire?" A hint of killing intent slowly appeared in the old man's eyes.

The Netherworld Poison Swamp is the perfect place to make a move. For these poison cultivators, this place provides a tremendous boost to their combat power, so the advantage lies with them!
"If you have the guts, come and rob me."

Xiao Yue looked at them calmly.

"Hmph, sharp-tongued! Since that's the case, you won't leave here alive today!" The old man suddenly roared and rushed towards Xiao Yue in a flash.

He formed his hands into claws, the tips of which shimmered with a dark purple light, clearly indicating that he had used the poison technique of the Centipede Heaven Palace.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue dodged the attack of the manor lord with a quick movement, and then casually struck out with her palm.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Xiao Yue and the old man exchanged blows in mid-air. The Lord of the Centipede Heaven Palace was sent flying backward, while Xiao Yue remained motionless in the air.

"What a strong strength!"

The old man with the sinister face was startled. He looked at Xiao Yue as young, but he did not expect her strength to be so great.

How could a peak Dou Huang expert be so easily defeated with a single palm strike?
Xiao Yue gave him no time to react. She stepped forward again and engaged him in combat. This time, her attack was more ferocious and faster. The surrounding trees were destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle, leaving a scene of devastation.

"My friend, I think there must be some misunderstanding!" The old man, who had just been menacing and had a sinister expression, now had a completely different look.

He already regretted coming here, and even more so, he regretted acting rashly without thoroughly investigating the other party's background!
"It's too late to regret now."

Xiao Yue responded expressionlessly.

The moment the other party chose to attack her, there was no turning back.

"boom!"

As Xiao Yue's final palm strike landed, a powerful energy erupted instantly, shaking the entire Netherworld Poison Swamp. The sinister-looking old man was blasted into a cloud of blood mist.

"Master of the Palace!"

The elders of Wutian Mansion who were blocked by Ziyan and Xiaoyixian cried out in alarm upon seeing this, wanting to rush forward to help, but it was too late. They could only watch helplessly as the old man was blasted into bloody foam by Xiao Yue in a few moves.

While Xiao Yue was engaged in a fierce battle with the Lord of the Centipede Heaven Palace, Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan were not idle either.

As a being with a body of calamity and poison, the methods of these elders from the Centipede Heaven Palace were naturally ineffective against Little Fairy Doctor. With a light flick of her sleeve, a faint, dark mist drifted from her fingertips, silently heading towards the elders of the Centipede Heaven Palace.

The elders initially dismissed the poisonous fog, but when they felt a sharp pain in their bodies, they were horrified to discover that they had been poisoned.

They all channeled their fighting spirit, trying to expel the toxins from their bodies, but how could Little Fairy Doctor's poison technique be so easily countered? The toxins clung tightly to their bones like maggots, causing them excruciating pain that made them almost lose control of their bodies.

Although Zi Yan looks like a little girl, her strength is not to be underestimated. She has the bloodline of an ancient dragon and her physical strength is extremely powerful. Although she has only just broken through to the sixth level, once she unleashes her power, even a peak Douhuang expert will have to take her seriously.

The little girl's figure darted swiftly across the battlefield. Each time her delicate little fists struck, a faint dragon's roar echoed in the air, accompanied by a spatial shockwave that forced the elders to retreat repeatedly.

With the combined efforts of Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan, the elders of the Centipede Heaven Palace were quickly defeated, some fleeing and others dying.

With the lord of the manor dead, it's natural that the tree falls and the monkeys scatter.

"What are you looking at so fast for? I haven't had enough yet." Looking at the Centipede Heaven Palace elders who had managed to escape, Zi Yan waved her little fist in dissatisfaction.

"Let's go."

Without lingering there, Xiao Yue and the others left the poisonous swamp with the Netherworld Poison Butterfly.

With their departure, the entire Netherworld Poison Swamp returned to its deathly silence. However, beneath this silence, something seemed to be quietly brewing.

At this time,

Suddenly, a strange black mist appeared in the sky above the Netherworld Poison Swamp. This black mist swirled in the sky like a ghost, leaving a faint black trail wherever it went.

"Hehehe, it really was her. At such a young age, she's already a seventh-grade alchemist. Such talent is a once-in-a-century talent, even in the Central Continent." The figure in the black mist looked at the corpses scattered below and chuckled coldly.

Then several iron chains were seen extending deep into the poisonous swamp, from which several ferocious-looking souls were pulled out. These were clearly the people from the Centipede Heaven Palace who had just been killed by Xiao Yue and the others.

"So many protectors have died in the Northwest region in recent years, it's probably all related to her. Ao Ying was acting mysteriously before he died..." A meaningful voice came from the surging black mist.

"It seems the Gama Empire has some incredible secret. We must report these anomalies to the Elder. Hehehe, it will surely be a great achievement."

The Soul Palace Protector in the black mist let out a strange laugh.

"Why is the laughter of you people from the Soul Palace so unpleasant?" Xiao Yue's voice echoed softly behind him.

Upon hearing this, the Soul Palace Protector, who was hidden in the black mist, froze in mid-air. He turned around sharply and looked at Xiao Yue, who had appeared behind him, in disbelief.

"You...you just left, didn't you?!"

The Soul Palace Protector's voice trembled slightly as he stared at Xiao Yue as if he had seen a ghost.

Xiao Yue shook her head upon hearing this. The auras of these Soul Palace protectors were far too conspicuous in her perception, like fireflies in the dark. She could sense them from a great distance, making it difficult not to notice them.
