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

Beyond the star system.

The temporary loss of contact between Xiao Yue and Zi Yan caused a huge uproar.

Three days after the star field collapsed and was sealed off by the powerful members of the Pill Tower, Little Fairy Doctor rushed here from the Starfall Pavilion, anxiously requesting the three giants to open the star field to save Xiao Yue.

Although the three giants of the Dan Tower had no choice, they were able to open the seal on the star field debris on the third day thanks to Xuan Yi's intervention.

However, the moment the spatial gate slowly opened, a terrifying sea of ​​starlight and fire surged forth like a primordial beast! Had the three giants not been prepared, it would have likely caused an unimaginable disaster.

Although Little Fairy Doctor was extremely anxious, she knew that it would be futile to ask for the opening of the star field at this point.

More than a month later, the three giants once again opened the Pill Domain to try to find Xiao Yue's whereabouts. This time, Xuan Kongzi entered alone. However, with his terrifying cultivation at the peak of Dou Zun, he only went in about a thousand feet before he was forced to flee back in a sorry state because he could not withstand the terrifying high temperature.

His failure cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

"If anything happens to my sister, I will definitely annihilate the Soul Palace one day!"

The black-clad youth, carrying a Xuan Ruler and exuding a murderous aura, returned to the Northwest Continent via a massive spatial tunnel, seeking Yao Chen's help.

……

at the same time,

In the core world of the Starfield Ruins, the power of stars and lightning within Xiao Yue's body, having reached an unprecedented level, began to repel each other, like two raging torrents colliding violently in a narrow riverbed, threatening to tear her body apart.

Sensing Xiao Yue's unusual behavior, Zi Yan suddenly came to her senses, her little face filled with worry and anxiety.

The little girl rushed to Xiao Yue's side and asked anxiously in her childish voice, "Xiao Yue, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm the agitation within her. She replied softly, "The power of stars and the power of thunder are in conflict and cannot be fused together at all..."

Her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she was going through an unprecedented challenge.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan became even more anxious.

Although the little girl didn't understand human cultivation methods, she could sense the immense pressure Xiao Yue was under. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she came up with a potentially feasible solution:

"Xiao Yue, why don't you try to integrate that dragon seal into your body?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange power surged from Zi Yan's body.

That was the power of her pure bloodline as a member of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, containing ancient and mysterious strength. This power unexpectedly encountered the power of starlight and lightning within Xiao Yue's body, and surprisingly, they resonated subtly.

Xiao Yue sensed this sudden power, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. She nodded and tried to guide this bloodline power to merge it with the star lightning within her body.

Miraculously, the two forces that were originally mutually exclusive gradually stabilized and even began to slowly merge under the harmonization of Zi Yan's bloodline power.

As time passed, Xiao Yue's breathing gradually stabilized, and the pain caused by the conflict dissipated. She slowly opened her eyes, which shone with an unprecedented light—a deeper understanding and mastery of power.

Although the existence of the Dragon Seal gave Xiao Yue almost control over the core of the star field, it was by no means easy to completely refine it, and even Xiao Yue needed to spend a lot of time.

We dare not hope for a quick victory; we can only prepare for a protracted war.

However, to Xiao Yue's surprise, this period of closed-eye cultivation lasted for half a year. During these six months, the star field remained deathly silent, as if time had completely lost its meaning here.

……

……

Six months later,
When Xiao Yue opened her eyes again, her cultivation had reached the fourth stage of the Mahayana realm! Her understanding of this star field was also becoming more and more profound. She discovered that this seemingly desolate space actually hid many secrets and opportunities.

Meanwhile, as time went by, people's hearts grew cold, and discussions about whether Xiao Yue could survive quietly spread among the crowd.

Even those powerful figures who had placed high hopes on her, such as Xuan Kongzi, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The purplish-black flames raged like demons, turning this space into an endless purgatory. The terrifying heat and distorted space seemed to proclaim that this place was inviolable. If it weren't for the indestructible seal on the outer perimeter, these violent flames would have already devoured Saint Pill City like a volcanic eruption, bringing about a catastrophe.

In the heart of this desolate and fiery region lies a strange, hollow area.

This place is like a forbidden zone for flames; all flames that try to invade will automatically avoid it, forming a rare place of tranquility.

On this pure land, Xiao Yue sat quietly cross-legged, surrounded by a deep and mysterious purplish-brown flame. Each surge of the flame seemed to resonate subtly with the purplish-black sea of ​​fire outside, causing intense fluctuations.

It has been nearly half a year since she closed her eyes and entered a meditative state. Her body seems to be isolated from the world, without the slightest movement, and even her breathing has become barely audible.

If it weren't for that faint glimmer of life still coexisting within her, Zi Yan, who had always been by her side, would probably have long mistaken her for a soulless shell.

However, it was in this seemingly still sitting that a silent transformation was taking place. Countless stellar and thunderous forces, like tiny vines, seeped out from the pores of her skin, wrapped around her body, and tempered every inch of her skin, every muscle, and even every bone in an indescribable way.

The baptism of starlight did not diminish her beauty; instead, it made her appear more resilient and powerful, brimming with vitality.

Even more surprisingly, as Xiao Yue's breathing resonated with the sea of ​​fire in this star field, whenever her breathing became heavier, the sea of ​​fire outside would surge with towering waves of fire.

When her breathing returned to normal, the flames would quietly subside, and the star field would once again return to a deathly silence. This strange connection seemed to indicate that there was some unknown secret and connection between Xiao Yue and this star field.

Time flew by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall. In this star field where death and fire intertwined, a shocking anomaly finally broke the long-standing peace.

Deep within that hollow area, a barely perceptible disturbance quietly emerged.

In a location deep within the star field, a dense purple light emanated, and within that purple light was a huge cocoon of light, several feet wide. Although the contents of the cocoon were not clearly visible, the immense energy contained within it indicated that this was no ordinary object.

The purple light on the surface of the cocoon flickers, like the beating of a heart, very rhythmic. If a person with keen senses were present, they would be able to perceive that every time the light of the cocoon changes, the energy of heaven and earth in the star field will fluctuate slightly. Then, the power of the stars will be absorbed into the cocoon, making the light of the cocoon even brighter.

That was Zi Yan, her cocoon of light, several feet wide, serving as the medium for her profound communication with this ancient star field. With the awakening of the Ancient Void Dragon bloodline within Zi Yan, she began an unprecedented journey of evolution. Each flash of purple light, with an almost greedy appetite, devoured these powers, transforming them into nourishment for her own evolution. Each glimmer of light signified the awakening and expansion of the ancient power within her, while each dimming of the light represented the process of refining and fusing these powers.

All of this was both surprising and unknown to Xiao Yue.

Although she didn't know much about the constitution of the Ancient Void Dragon, she could sense the increasing power fluctuations within Zi Yan's body, so she wasn't too worried.

Xiao Yue closed her eyes and focused her mind. Under her guidance, the stellar and thunderous power within her formed a more stable cycle. She was no longer merely a container for these powers, but had become their master. Each collision seemed to forge a more resilient physique and sharper perception. In this silent yet empty space, the human and the dragon each underwent their own transformation.

……

……

There is no concept of time within the star field, but outside, the world is in turmoil!
In the Central Plains, on this vast and boundless continent, the undercurrents between various forces have never ceased.

As soon as the news of Xiao Yue and Zi Yan losing contact in the star field spread, those forces that had grudges against Xiao Yue in the past revealed their gloating faces.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan, an ancient and proud clan, has a secret chamber deep within its palace grounds. A woman dressed in a fiery red dress sits cross-legged, her aura powerful and sharp, clearly indicating she is a formidable Dou Zun expert.

At this moment, the woman in red sat upright on the throne, a barely perceptible cold smile on her lips.

"Someone, go and bring Feng Qing'er back!"

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is not a monolithic entity; it is divided into several major branches. Feng Qing'er is an outstanding member of her branch. Now that the silver-haired woman is dead, if this matter is not properly resolved, her branch will likely be ridiculed by other members of the clan in the future!

……

Ice Valley, the sect renowned for its power of ice, is currently shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.

The new Valley Master closed his eyes to rest, but his tightly furrowed brows betrayed his inner elation. After all, the previous Valley Master had been killed by that silver-haired woman with a single palm strike, making them a laughing stock among many forces in the Central Plains.

"Xiao Yue's death has saved me a lot of trouble," he thought to himself, and then ordered the sect's defenses to be strengthened, just in case.

...

As one of the four great pavilions of Zhongzhou, the Thunder Pavilion's leader, Venerable Thunder, went even further, holding a grand banquet for guests to celebrate the fall of their formidable enemy.

"Haha, that guy was still too young after all, and didn't know how to keep his sharp edge hidden. Now that he has fallen in the star field, it can be considered the best lesson for him!" Lei Zunzhe's words were tinged with pride, but he couldn't hide the unease deep in his heart.

As for the Soul Palace, this behemoth that has always been hidden in the shadows, it was even more pleased with Xiao Yue's "death".

Inside the Soul Palace branch hall, the black-robed figures remained silent, except for the Venerable Elder sitting at the head of the table, whose lips curled into a sinister, satisfied smile.

……

……

Outside the ruins of the Danta Starfield, on a patch of scorched earth, Yao Chen, dressed in a blue robe with white hair and beard, still exuded an extraordinary and refined aura.

He stood before Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, his gaze profound, as if he could see through all things in the world.

"Don't worry, that girl is blessed with good fortune, she will not perish easily." Yao Chen's voice was gentle.

The boy clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

"Teacher, you must save my sister!"

Yao Chen gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Even I can't enter the Star Domain now, but the collision of stars and lightning is both a challenge and an opportunity for her. Although I can't say for sure when she will break through, I can be sure that she will be alright."

Just then, Xuan Yi, Xuan Kongzi, and Tian Leizi, another giant of the Pill Tower, arrived together.

Upon seeing Yao Chen, they all stepped forward to pay their respects, their faces beaming with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

"Brother Yaochen, it's been many years! You're still as dashing as ever!" Xuan Kongzi laughed heartily, his eyes filled with admiration and emotion.

Yao Chen smiled slightly and returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Brother Xuan Kongzi, you are too kind. It is your Pill Tower that has become more and more prosperous in recent years."

The beautiful woman standing to the side had a calm expression, but there was a hint of complexity in her eyes.

"Brother Yao, do you know how much trouble we went through for this? It's just that the star field is too dangerous, even I can't go deep inside."

Tian Leizi spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen's gaze sharpened slightly, for he was well aware of the terrifying nature of the Star Domain.

The group sat together and began to discuss countermeasures. Yao Chen recounted his experiences on the Dou Qi Continent, while Xuan Yi and the others shared the various changes that the Pill Tower had undergone in recent years.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"Back then, we roamed the Dou Qi Continent together, so carefree and unrestrained. Now, time flies, our old friends are gone, and only a few of us remain to hold on," Tian Leizi sighed, his voice tinged with a sense of vicissitude and helplessness.

Just as everyone was absorbed in the moment, a violent tremor suddenly came from within the star field.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light shot up from the depths of the star field, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching.

"what is that?"

Xuan Kongzi suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the light, a sense of indescribable shock welling up in his heart.

A glint of light flashed in Yao Chen's eyes. He seemed to have a premonition of something, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems that girl is coming back."

As soon as the words were spoken, the light gradually condensed into a human figure, which slowly walked out of the star field. Its silver hair was like a waterfall, and its whole body exuded a faint star power and thunderous might, like an empress descending from the heavens, making people dare not look directly at it.

"Sister!"

"Sister Xiao Yue!"

The boy and Little Fairy Doctor shouted almost simultaneously, staring in disbelief at the familiar figure, their eyes filled with excitement and joy.

Xuan Yi and the others were also stunned. They never expected that Xiao Yue would return in such a way, and with such increased strength, as if she had been reborn.
