Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Below the level of a Battle King, cultivators are striving to make their own vessels larger, stronger, and with better openings.

Powerful techniques are the tools for creating containers and manipulating the solutions within them, while combat skills are the means of output.

However, after becoming a Battle King, a cultivator can now directly draw upon external "water" instead of immediately drawing upon the "water" stored within their body.

If one masters powerful enough techniques and fighting skills, one can even try to combine external lightning-attribute fighting energy with internal fighting energy to unleash tremendous power.

"Congeal."

With a casual gesture, Zhang Yuan dispersed the lightning, and a strange light appeared in his dark eyes. His fighting spirit surged out from behind him, transforming into purple illusory wings along a special meridian route. The wings were more than ten feet wide and long, and there seemed to be flashes of lightning in them, making them both noble and terrifying.

Turning his head to look at the purple flame wings that stretched out behind him, Zhang Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

He is not using the strange fire flight technique, but is relying entirely on his own battle qi to create battle qi wings.

If the power of the Six Dragons Thunderfire were added to this, he felt that even ordinary Dou Zong would not be able to surpass him in speed.

There is a fundamental difference in spatial dimension between Dou Huang and Dou Zong!

"Not even eighteen years old, and already at the Dou Wang realm. Not to mention comparing him to Xiao Yanzi, he should be able to compare him to Dong Ge at the same age."

"Such cultivation is quite good even in the Central Plains, and it wouldn't be considered obscure even in an imperial clan, yet I possess such strength in the Northwest Continent."

"Even without considering the late-stage Spirit Realm soul and the physique comparable to a late-stage fifth-order magical beast, I should be able to fight an ordinary Dou Zong using only different flames and fighting techniques. However, to avoid being caught off guard, I need to find some peak Dou Huangs to test my skills first."

"In that case, after making some more preparations, it's time to take action."

"And the thing I've been hesitating about, there's no need to dwell on it anymore."

After removing the battle aura wings from his back, Zhang Yuan slowly stood up and looked at the skeleton of the Xuanhuang Saint.

During this period, he not only broke through to a higher level, but also carefully organized and absorbed the memories of Soul Annihilation.

This Soul Clan member is about 1,300 years old. He suffered for a thousand years, which is nothing to talk about. For the first three hundred years, he had the resources of the Soul Clan and a good bloodline level. He reached the Dou Zun level in just forty years, and then reached the ninth level of Dou Zun in sixty years. It took him nearly a hundred years to break through to the Half-Saint level and receive the "reward" of the Void Devouring Flame to reach the mid-stage of Half-Saint.

He had a smooth journey all the way, but perished after encountering the Xuanhuang Old Ghost.

Having been scorched by the strange fire for a thousand years, his soul power was greatly damaged, and he lost many memories, retaining only the most important ones, such as the fighting techniques he had learned, some secrets about the Soul Clan, and information about things that Soul Extinction considered important.

For example, a secret related to the Xuanhuang Saint: the Fire Vein Array!

This Fire Vein Array is actually related to two imperial clans: the Yan Clan and the Xiao Clan.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Dou Qi Continent was a single, unified entity, surrounded by scattered islands.

However, several supreme experts descended in search of something, and a battle broke out. Even the aftershocks were difficult for a Dou Di to withstand, and the entire continent was shattered into nine pieces, which is the origin of the Nine Provinces.

After that, the Dou Di powerhouses on the continent began to leave one after another. There were many reasons for leaving. Some said they were pursuing a higher realm, some said they were conscripted to participate in some war, and some said that the Dou Qi Continent was not suitable for Dou Di to stay on.

This part is common knowledge that all the Emperor Clan Battle Saints know, but because they haven't seen a Battle Emperor for so long, everyone just listens to it as a story.

However, after the disappearance of the Dou Di, the Devouring Spirit Clan launched a catastrophe against the imperial clans. This event is clearly recorded in every imperial clan. It was a protracted battle that swept across the entire continent and is known as the tragedy of the end of the ancient era.

After the destruction of the Devouring Spirit Clan, only eight human imperial clans remained. The strongest of them was the Xiao Clan, followed by the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan. The relationships between the major imperial clans were not harmonious, and they were suspicious of each other.

The Gu and Xiao clans were considered friends because their two clan leaders had a good relationship, but this relationship was nothing more than that when it came to the inheritance and interests between the clans.

In the eyes of the imperial clans, those below the level of Dou Sheng are nothing but ants, not even worth a second glance. However, if one were to investigate the abilities of Dou Sheng experts, one would find that their thinking is not out of arrogance, but rather perfectly natural.

Those who have entered the Dou Sheng realm can still mobilize the energy of heaven and earth for offense and defense without restraint, even if their own Dou Qi is scarce. Apart from the top three strange fires, there is no need to mobilize the other strange fires.

The earth-shattering and space-breaking caused by a mere gesture are minor matters; the hallmark ability is the ability to directly create a space from nothingness for people to live in, while the hallmark of a six-star Dou Sheng is spatial displacement.

Upon reaching the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, one's bloodline begins to mutate.

The ancient imperial clans all reside in self-contained small worlds created by Dou Di powerhouses. These spaces are currently more suitable for cultivation than the Dou Qi Continent, making them the top blessed lands on the continent.

Nowadays, the ancient imperial clans have placed their spatial entrances in the Central Continent, and their operations and development centers are also located in the Central Continent. Only the Soul Palace has set up a layout across the entire continent because it wants to set up as many Soul Devouring and Life-Severing Arrays as possible.

However, before the center shifted, the main bases of the major imperial clans were not all in the Central Continent. For example, the ancestral lands of the Xiao Clan and the Yan Clan were in the Northwest Continent, where the fire attribute energy was most abundant in the entire continent. Because the Xiao Clan was the strongest, it later occupied the Northwest Continent alone.

Over a thousand years ago, when the Xiao Clan mobilized all its resources to help its patriarch Xiao Xuan break through to the Dou Di realm, a group of powerful members of the Soul Clan rushed to the Heavenly Tomb. When Xiao Xuan failed to break through to the Dou Di realm and was seriously injured, the Soul Emperor led the Soul Clan's powerful members to besiege Xiao Xuan, causing his death.

In this battle, apart from the Soul Emperor, the Soul Clan lost its four strongest eight-star Dou Sheng elders and many other Dou Sheng. The Soul Emperor himself was also seriously injured and recuperated for nearly a thousand years. However, Xiao Xuan still retained his Emperor Soul in the Heavenly Tomb, which shows the true value of the strongest person on the continent.

The Northwest Continent was severely damaged by the relentless battle between the two imperial clans, falling to the bottom of the Nine Provinces and becoming unable to even produce a Dou Sheng.

The Xuanhuang Saint, whose real name is Xiao Yun, is a member of the Xiao clan. He obtained some of the Xiao clan's remaining resources (bloodline, cultivation techniques, and fighting skills), and with the Xuanhuang Flame, he rose to prominence in the Northwest Continent.

This is why, when the people from the Soul Palace came to recruit him, he directly fought with them, and in the end, they both perished.

This explains why the Xiao family, descendants of the former Xiao clan, appeared in a small empire in the Northwest Continent. Their origin from the Black Corner Region was merely a facade, or perhaps they were unaware that their lineage had been severed.

"If I could obtain Xiao Yun's memories, perhaps I could find the Xiao Realm and discover more of the Xiao Clan's resources. Unfortunately, all I got were the memories of Soul Annihilation."

"Fortunately, we did manage to acquire some of the Xiao clan's resources, such as this Fire Vein Array."

The Soul Clan has the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, and the Xiao Clan naturally also has an array inheritance. This Fire Vein Array is a Heaven-Rank Array that can connect underground fire veins to form an array, greatly enhancing the condensation of earth and fire attribute energy.

During his rise to power, Xiao Yun consistently used the resources left behind by the Xiao clan to activate and arrange the Fire Vein Array. This place, which gave birth to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, is one of the array's cores.

Once the Fire Vein Array is fully deployed, it can cover an entire state.

In other words, if Zhang Yuan works hard, he can turn the Northwest Continent into a paradise for fire and earth attribute cultivators.

Zhang Yuan strongly suspects that in the future, Xiao Yanzi will build the Endless Fire Domain based on the Dou Qi Continent, which is to find all the inheritances of the Xiao Clan after becoming a Dou Di, with the Northwest Continent as the foundation.

For Zhang Yuan, who cultivates the lightning attribute, activating the fire vein array may not seem very useful, but don't forget that he has the Xuanhuang Flame, the Six Dragons Thunderfire, and a Green Lotus Earth Core Flame that needs fire attribute energy to nurture it.

He plans to train weapon refiners and alchemists, both primarily of the fire element, with some wood or lightning attributes required.

If the Northwest Continent were truly transformed into the region with the highest concentration of fire elemental energy on the entire continent, even the Pill Tower would likely be moved there, making it a paradise for countless alchemists.

Alchemy can not only train subordinates, but reaching the seventh rank or above will attract alchemy lightning. When refining a ninth-rank precious pill, black demon lightning will appear, and refining a ninth-rank golden pill will attract nine-profound golden lightning, etc.

These very obstacles could also contribute to Zhang Yuan's success.

He had originally considered whether he should go to the Starfall Pavilion to develop his career after Venerable Wind arrived.

He has now decided to settle down in the Northwest Continent!

"let's go!"

Zhang Yuan composed himself and told Hai Bodong and Ling Ying to get ready.

The ice hockey puck reappeared, and Zhang Yuan stored the remains of the Xuanhuang Saint into his small world, immediately disappearing into it.

The three of them worked together to make their way up through the lava.

An hour later, they returned to Stone Desert City.

Zhang Yuan didn't rush to the neighboring Desert City to find Yun Feng. Instead, he returned to the Void Realm to prepare to discuss cooperation with Medusa.

As soon as he entered, he saw Medusa seducing an innocent young girl.

"Qinglin, you are a descendant of my snake-people and human race. The awakening of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil indicates that you have reverted to your ancestral bloodline and activated the bloodline of the snake-people's distant ancestor, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor. Come with me, and I will raise you as my queen. What do you say?"

Chapter 128 So this is what Medusa is really like! The Queen Invites...

war

"Sister Queen, I really can't agree to that."

Qinglin looked at Queen Medusa somewhat timidly, but her tone was firm and her words were clear.

This doesn't mean that her temperament and courage increased after she awakened the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil; at least not in the short term.

During Zhang Yuan's absence, Queen Medusa, after confirming her excellence, would invite her several times a day.

"Why can't I agree?" Medusa crossed her arms, her pale purple eyes reflecting Qinglin's face. "The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is a manifestation of the bloodline of the Serpent Emperor, the ancestor of the Serpent People. This is our Serpent People's bloodline. You are a Serpent People, so why would you want to be a human's maid?"

"Wouldn't it be better to go back to the Snake People and become a saintess, or even inherit my throne as queen?"

To be honest, Medusa was eager to bring Qinglin back to the snake people, and her feelings were a mixture of public and private considerations.

For the public good, after a Snake-People are born, their souls are transplanted into them using a secret method. The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is the nemesis of snake-like magical beasts. If Qing Lin is well-nurtured, it will be a good thing for the entire Snake-People's lineage. Not to mention, the person who possesses these eyes can be said to have returned to their ancestral form and obtained the bloodline of a Dou Di, which is even better than her evolved Seven-Colored Devouring Python.

Privately, she was somewhat tired of the queen's life, especially after getting to know Qing Yanjing and the other two women. She suddenly had the urge to live for herself and wanted to find her own interests. If Qing Lin could grow up and take over her position, that would be the best thing ever.

However, Qinglin firmly refused every time.

"Sister Queen, no matter what, I will never betray my lord," Qinglin said.

"What benefits did he give you?" Medusa couldn't help but ask.

She had been thinking about this question for a long time, but she never asked it directly. Instead, she wanted to get the answer indirectly and then think of a solution. However, Xun'er and the other girls were not stupid and did not let her know the information she wanted.

So now, she's decided to get straight to the point!

A hint of watery light appeared in her emerald green eyes. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said, "My lord is the first person to take me seriously and treat me as an ordinary person."

"The Lord spoke to me very gently. He treated everyone equally. He also said he would find me a descendant who was also a hybrid of snake and human to be my companion."

"I've never heard of anyone like this in my entire life, yet I've actually met one."

"I feel that I will never meet anyone better than the Lord in my lifetime."

At this point, Qinglin stared at Medusa and asked, "Queen, if it weren't for my eyes, would you want me to go back to the Snake People with you and help me have a peaceful life without discrimination?"

Medusa remained silent.

If she were smart, she would nod affirmatively and say "yes" to win Qinglin's favor.

Even sending someone to find a hybrid descendant of snake people and humans wouldn't be impossible.

But she didn't do that, because she was also deeply moved.

The emotion in Qinglin's eyes reminded her of the awkward position of the snake people between the magical beast races and the human race.

Whether it's the Warcraft clan or the human race, they all treat the Snake-People as one of their own, but they don't accept them, making their situation difficult.

The Serpent People have always looked down on the Human and Beast races as equals, but to be fair, they still hope to be recognized and accepted; otherwise, they wouldn't like to maintain their human form.

She was not unaware of the plight of the snake people and their human descendants, but she had only issued a prohibition against male snake people in her own tribe, forbidding them from using force against human women, with severe punishment for violators. As for those "cursed children," she had indeed never taken them seriously.

From this perspective, she could understand Qinglin's loyalty to Zhang Yuan and would never lie.

She even developed a special level of recognition and trust in Zhang Yuan.

If even the "cursed child" can be treated equally, perhaps there is no real malice towards the snake people, and fair cooperation is possible?

“Qinglin, I understand your feelings.” Medusa’s thoughts shifted, and a smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face. She said, “That’s why you should come back to the Snake People with me.”

"Huh?" Qinglin's mouth opened slightly, her face full of confusion.

Zhang Yuan silently approached the two of them, a mocking smile on his face.
