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

Star field!

At this moment, all the powerful figures of the Pill Tower took to the air, their gazes solemn and tense, focused on the sky.

The space there seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, twisted into a bizarre shape, and a chillingly high temperature quietly spread, causing the temperature of the entire world to rise silently.

In the Holy City beneath this sky, everyone knows the secret of that distorted place—the Starfield, a mysterious realm that the Pill Tower has designated as a forbidden area.

Recalling what happened more than half a year ago, even Xuan Kongzi, a peak Dou Zun expert with exceptional strength, appeared utterly disheveled when he escaped from it, demonstrating the immense danger and terror within. How much more so for those cultivators with shallower cultivation levels?
If the star field were to erupt out of control, Saint Pill City, this once prosperous city, would likely be reduced to ruins in an instant, becoming a desolate and lifeless city.

However, in this star field that had been peaceful for nearly half a year, signs of unease reappeared. The once stable seal seemed to be under unprecedented pressure and was on the verge of collapse.

This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, terrifying everyone in Saint Dan City, their souls seemingly about to be devoured by this invisible fear.

But just when all hope seemed lost, a brilliant light burst forth from the depths of the star field, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, leaving a magnificent trail behind it.

Even more astonishing was that behind the light, the faint phantom of a giant dragon appeared, coiling in the sky, its enormous body radiating a breathtaking dragon's might, completely enveloping this space.

Even the elders in the Pill Tower had to lower their stance and show solemn expressions under this oppressive force.

"This...this fluctuation is terrifying!"

"Such terrifying strength is something even ordinary elders in the tower would find difficult to match!"

A murmur of discussion arose throughout Saint Pill City. The powerful figures of the Pill Tower stared in disbelief, their faces filled with shock and awe. Within this vast aura, a power seemed to be quietly awakening, compelling one to involuntarily prostrate oneself in worship.

"It really is my older sister, she's still alive!"

In the sky, a young man stood side by side with the old man. The young man's eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the figure on the dragon's forehead and couldn't help but shout excitedly.

The old doctor smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction and emotion. Several years had passed in a flash. Since leaving the Northwest Continent, this little girl had grown to such an extent that her strength was astonishing.

As time passed, the winding, coiling dragon gradually disappeared into the sky, and its dragon might also diminished.

As the dragon vanished completely, the light finally coalesced into a clear figure—a woman with cascading silver hair slowly emerged from the star field. She exuded a faint aura of stellar power and thunderous might, like an empress descending from the heavens to the mortal realm, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at her.

"call……"

Feeling the exhilarating power surging within her, Xiao Yue exhaled a breath of intense heat. She clenched her fist slightly, sensing the vast, ocean-like power of the stars and the laws of thunder within her. A surge of excitement welled up within her; this power was strong enough to drive one mad.

She gently raised her hand, then suddenly clenched it, and the space in front of her was twisted into a strange depression by this force.

If this grip were to fall upon a human body, even a Dou Zun expert would find it difficult to withstand its power and would be instantly torn to pieces. Feeling this powerful force that could distort space with a mere gesture, Xiao Yue finally smiled a long-lost smile.

This once unattainable realm is now firmly beneath her feet. If she were to encounter the Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu and his group from the Soul Palace again, she could probably easily defeat them in a single exchange.

Of course, her murderous intent did not dissipate as a result.

On the contrary, this experience of being schemed against by the Soul Palace in the Starfield has made it even more intense.

"This score will be settled sooner or later..."

Xiao Yue murmured to herself, a cold glint flashing in her blood-red eyes. Just as killing intent surged in her heart, several whooshing sounds came quickly.

Then several figures appeared beside her like ghosts.

Little Fairy Doctor, the girl in the white dress, with a gentle yet resilient temperament, almost instantly threw herself into Xiao Yue's arms.

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in them, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. However, the way she held Xiao Yue tightly betrayed her excitement and unease.

"Sister Xiao Yue, you're finally out!"

The little fairy doctor's voice was choked with emotion, as if she was afraid that if she let go, this warmth that she had regained would disappear without a trace.

Xiao Yue felt the sincere emotions of the girl in her arms, and a warm current surged in her heart. She gently stroked the back of Little Fairy Doctor, her eyes soft, like the warm sunshine in spring, and comforted her softly, "I'm fine, aren't I? Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you cry."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor looked up at Xiao Yue, her clear eyes sparkling with a mixture of tears and laughter.

She nodded, trying to calm herself down, but her dependence and trust only grew stronger.

Xiao Yue released the girl and turned her gaze to the crowd gathered around her. Their eyes showed both shock and relief.

"Xiao Yan, I think you'll like this gift."

As Xiao Yue spoke, she flicked her fingertips, and a wisp of flame containing immense energy leaped from her palm—the legendary Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Flames soared into the air, transforming into a small fire dragon that weaved between Xiao Yue and Xiao Yan before finally landing slowly in front of Xiao Yan.

The flames contained not only extreme heat, but also the profound meaning of life and destruction, moving everyone present.

Xiao Yan gazed at the three thousand raging flames before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by intense joy. He knew the preciousness and power of this strange fire, and he understood the weight of his sister's gift.

He solemnly stretched out his hand, and the flames, as if possessed, gently wrapped around his arm and eventually merged into his body. Feeling the new life force within him, a look of excitement rose on the boy's face. He knew that this would be a sharp sword on his future path.

"Thank you so much, sister!"

The boy's voice sounded particularly excited.

At this moment, Yao Chen coughed lightly, breaking the surrounding noise. "Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the main hall on the top floor of the Pill Tower to discuss this in detail." His words were kind yet gentle, making people unconsciously trust him.

"Let's go."

Xiao Yue smiled and nodded.

Upon hearing this, everyone headed towards the main hall on the top floor of the Pill Tower. After passing through winding corridors and several complex restrictions, they finally arrived at the solemn and mysterious hall.

Inside the main hall, everything was resplendent in gold and shimmering with light. The towering pillars were carved from an unknown material, inscribed with intricate runes that seemed to contain ancient wisdom and power.

A huge jade table stood in the center, surrounded by dozens of exquisite jade chairs, each radiating a soft, warm luster that inspired awe. The group entered the hall and took their seats.

"Sister Xiao Yue, where is Zi Yan? I haven't seen her." Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but ask. She remembered that Zi Yan seemed to have secretly entered the Star Domain with Xiao Yue back then.

"Don't worry, that girl is fine. She seems to have obtained the inheritance of the ancient dragon of the Void Starry Sky from the ancient times in the core of the star field, and she is still sleeping in the star field now," Xiao Yue said with a smile.

Since she fused with the dragon seal of her natal bloodline given to her by Zi Yan, she seemed to have developed some subtle connection with that girl, and could sense the other's general situation. The dragon's might she felt earlier came from this.

"Hmm, that little girl has a powerful bloodline, probably few in the entire Dou Qi Continent can compare to her. Let's talk about it later. During the year you were unconscious, a lot has happened in Zhongzhou. According to rumors, there seems to have been some news about the ancient ruins that have been making headlines recently." Yao Chen stroked his beard and asked.

"Ancient ruins?"

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

At this moment, Xuan Kongzi smiled and said, "I have been in charge of the intelligence work at the ancient ruins recently. According to the news that came back today, some magical beast families have ventured into the ancient ruins, but they all seem to have returned in a sorry state. However, according to the accounts of those who escaped, the ruins are indeed real, but it is not yet time to open them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

Seeing that this ancient ruin has attracted many powerful figures and forces from across the continent, and that it is now within the Beast Domain, it is not an easy task to extract any treasures from it. Back when the Youhai Ruins in the Northwest Continent were first opened, blood flowed like rivers, and countless Dou Zong and Dou Zun powerhouses perished.
Having experienced the ancient ruins battle back then, Yao Chen naturally knew how fierce and cruel that battle was.

"What exactly is this ancient ruin?"

Xiao Yue continued to ask.

"The ancient ruins in Zhongzhou this time appeared in the Beast Domain, which is the domain of the magical beast families," Xuan Yi interjected.

"The realm of beasts."

Xiao Yue frowned slightly. She had heard of this region before. It was entirely the territory of magical beast families. Although there were humans living there, generally speaking, those magical beasts that formed families still had a strong xenophobic mentality. This time, the ancient ruins appeared in their territory. Given their nature, they would definitely not be happy to let human powerhouses get a share of the spoils.

"It's quite troublesome."

Xiao Yue nodded slightly. The troublesome nature of those magical beast families was enough to give many powerful individuals a headache.

“Alas, as soon as the ancient ruins appeared, I sent the elders of the Pill Tower to pay close attention. Originally, I didn’t want to get involved in this mess. Having experienced the last battle for the ruins, we understand the cruelty involved very well. If the Pill Tower gets involved, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble,” Xuan Kongzi sighed.

“However, the Central Continent is not peaceful now. The Soul Palace has been making increasingly big moves over the past few decades. We need to be vigilant against them at all times. If something devastates us at this time, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and start a war!” Tian Lei Zi said with some concern.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly. Although the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace are the two super powers in the Central Continent, if these two behemoths really go to war, it may drag the entire Central Continent into it. At that time, it will not be as simple as bloodshed!

A sharp sword could fall at any moment, bringing unpredictable disaster.

"The Soul Palace's ambitions have long been obvious. Their plans over the years have not only involved infiltrating various forces, but also secretly accumulating power, attempting to overturn the existing balance in one fell swoop. The appearance of the ancient ruins is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to attract many powerful people to gather. In the midst of chaos, it is the perfect time for them to strike."

"However, let's put the matter of the ancient ruins aside for now."

"These people have grand ambitions. They once infiltrated almost the entire Northwest Continent, and I've heard they're also rampant in the Southern Continent and the Eastern Continent. Over the years, my Dan Tower has never understood what they're doing collecting soul power across the entire continent..."

Xuan Kongzi said with a somewhat solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue's brows furrowed in deep thought. She gently stroked the edge of the jade table, feeling its warm touch, as if she could draw a trace of tranquility from it to counteract the turbulent thoughts in her heart.

"What's even more terrifying is that the Soul Palace is backed by an even more powerful force, which makes our situation even more difficult to deal with," Xuan Kongzi sighed.

“A more powerful force…” Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yue’s face. “Could it be that the Soul Palace is merely a pawn of a larger power?”

"Who else could it be? Anyone with a bit of influence in the entire Central Continent knows who the mastermind behind the Soul Palace is, but no one dares to say it out loud." Yao Chen shook his head, seemingly unwilling to bring up this topic, after all, he himself was from one of those clans.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue roughly understood what it meant. Who else in this world could cultivate such a transcendent organization besides those ancient imperial clans?

At this moment, Xuan Kongzi smiled, took out a map from his storage ring, spread it out on the table, pointed to the northwest region of Zhongzhou, and said:

"The Soul Hall has many hidden branches in the Central Continent, which are impossible for ordinary people to discover. In the northwest region of the Central Continent, there is a mountain range of dead souls, and there is a hidden branch of the Soul Hall."

"The Lost Souls Mountain Range is considered a dangerous place in the Central Continent. For some reason, the cold air there is extremely dense, and the cold fog obscures the sun. If you wander around randomly, you will only get lost in it. Moreover, there are many powerful and bloodthirsty magical beasts in the mountain range, which are quite troublesome to deal with. The Soul Palace chose to establish a branch in such a place, probably because of its seclusion."

"Mountain of the Dead".

Xiao Yue took the scroll and muttered something under her breath. No matter what, she had no intention of letting go of the fact that she had been ambushed in the Starfield.

She's going to cause a big stir by taking advantage of the opening of the ancient ruins in Zhongzhou!
Xiao Yue was never the type to swallow her anger. Since the Soul Palace had already plotted to kill her, she wasn't going to waste her time with them!

Since that's the case, let's kill them all!
Let's start by taking down one of the Soul Hall's branch halls!
