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

"So scary!"

"And that mysterious Dou Zong, one move from him!"

At this moment, everyone felt immense awe and respect for Zhang Yuan.

Regardless of whether there are stronger individuals in the Nine Abyss Prefecture, the strength they have demonstrated so far is enough to sweep aside the Gama Empire along with several other nearby empires.

Another half-cup of tea time passed. Medusa raised her weapon, the longbow, and occasionally fired an arrow that pierced through space. Iron Guardian, who was trapped by the Nether Sea Dragon, was in grave danger, with several holes appearing on his body and his breath growing weaker and weaker.

Although Yunshan's aura had weakened somewhat, after joining forces with Elder Ling, they easily suppressed the heavily injured Protector Wu. The latter coughed up blood several times, and his aura grew weaker and weaker. It was only a matter of time before he was captured.

"what!"

Protector Wu roared angrily, glaring at Zhang Yuan and howling, "Boy, I admit you have some skill."

"Pfft." Xiao Yan suddenly laughed: "That sounds familiar."

These words resounded throughout the area, causing everyone to pause in surprise before bursting into laughter.

Protector Wu nearly coughed up another mouthful of blood, angrily saying, "Don't think that having a few more Dou Zong makes you powerful. In the face of absolute strength, this number of people poses no threat."

"Eagle Protector, aren't you going to make a move now?"

They are all protectors of the Soul Hall. Although Protector Eagle is of the Heavenly Rank, which is higher than Protector Duck, they are not in the same superior-subordinate relationship as the Elders of the Soul Hall.

The Eagle Protector came from Zhongzhou and came with a mission. The Duck Protector originally did not want to trouble the other party, but was scolded and even punished by the other party.

But he preferred punishment to being captured alive or dying.

boom!

Upon hearing Wu Hufa's words, many people's expressions changed again.

The Soul Palace actually has even stronger members!?

"waste!"

The two cold words echoed in all directions, and the Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Formation was directly torn open, creating a spatial rift.

Countless black wisps of energy spread in from the other end of the crack, transforming into two chains that flew toward Iron Guardian and Duck Guardian.

The chains easily tore a hole in the spatial barrier created by the Nether Sea Dragon, shooting into the Iron Guardian's body and pulling him out of the barrier.

The other one entered the body of the guardian deity, helping it recover from its injuries, and then dragged it backward.

"Trying to leave!?" Medusa raised her longbow and fired an arrow.

"Heh heh, little girl, you can't kill anyone in front of me." A new chain split off from the chain, collided with the battle qi arrow, and was destroyed.

A terrifying pressure descended, distorting countless spaces.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Peak Dou Zong."

boom!

Everyone was horrified.

A peak Dou Huang can use a bit of spatial power to traverse the void.

After becoming a Dou Zong, one's body undergoes a complete transformation. A faint layer of Dou Qi crystals appears outside the meridians and even the bones. The circulation of the viscous Dou Qi within the body can cause changes in the space between heaven and earth, with a huge difference between each star.

The Dou Zong realm is the true watershed for powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent. It grants the qualification to establish a sect. At the initial stage, one can begin to manipulate spatial power, such as distorting or sealing space. At the advanced stage, one understands some rudimentary spatial power; with every move, one can cause spatial vibrations and influence the energy changes of a region.

A peak Dou Zong can only rudimentarily control the power of space, attempting techniques that only a Dou Zun powerhouse can truly master, such as tearing space, traversing space, strangling space, and setting up space locks and space prisons.

It's no exaggeration to say that ten one-star Dou Zongs can't beat one peak Dou Zong.

"Hehehe, kid, you have a good eye."

Protector Wu laughed arrogantly, "Protector Ying is a peak Dou Zong, and from Zhongzhou at that. All your men combined are no match for him. Prepare to die."

"Really?" Zhang Yuan's expression remained calm. "You're that confident?"

"Hehehe." Protector Wu sneered, "Could it be that you have a peak Dou Zong subordinate?"

"Pfft!" Xiao Yan laughed again.

Protector Wu's veins bulged all over his body as he sneered, "Boy, I've tolerated you for too long. I'm going to cut you into a thousand pieces."

"You're the one who's jinxing yourself, and you won't let me laugh?" Xiao Yan scoffed and said calmly, "We naturally have peak Dou Zong as well."

Everyone: ?

"boom!"

A phantom figure emerged from Xiao Yan's body, and countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth converged, causing cracks to appear in space under the influence of the energy.

Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he revealed a smile: "A peak Dou Zong, what a fortune."

As he spoke, he took out the Five Elements Spirit Turtle Pearl and secretly used the Nine Abyss Token to send a message to Medusa, Yunshan, Lingying, Youhai Jiaolong, and Jiaxingtian, instructing them to prepare a barrier.

We can't let this big fish get away.

Chapter 157 Yao Lao Makes a Move, Thunder Emperor Finger Suppresses the Three Sects!

Setting up a spatial barrier?

Yunshan, Lingying, Medusa, Youhai Jiaoshou, and Jia Xingtian were taken aback when they suddenly received the message, but they quickly agreed and began to secretly follow Zhang Yuan's instructions to change their location.

The onlookers were naturally unaware of this, as their attention was completely drawn to Yao Lao, who had emerged from Xiao Yan's body, leaving them deeply shocked.

The powerful aura, the gradually solidifying body, the power that caused the space to tremble, and the eerie white flames swirling around him made them all swallow hard, realizing that this was a powerful figure capable of suppressing the four southwestern empires.

Protector Wu looked at the figure, slowly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The astonishment on his face gradually turned into ecstatic joy. He said, "I only vaguely sensed that this kid's power was a bit strange. Now I know that this power actually comes from Yao Chen!"

"Hehehe, if I were to bring you back, even the Palace Master would personally reward me. This would be an immense achievement. I never expected you to deliver yourself to my doorstep!"

Protector Wu knew that he would not suffer any punishment.

Although the credit for capturing Yao Chen will mainly go to Protector Eagle, it was because he chose Yunshan and Yunlan Sect to set up a plan in the Jia Ma Empire that this guy who had been hiding for more than ten years was discovered.

"Take me away? You think you're worthy?" The old apothecary's eyes narrowed.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Heavenly Realm's soul permeated the air, causing Protector Wu to feel his soul tremble.

But then he chuckled and said, "I may not be able to, but there are others who can deal with you!"

boom!

The Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun formation suddenly began to tremble.

Yun Yun's expression changed, and she was about to fully mobilize the fighting spirit within her body.

However, the next moment, upon receiving the message from the Nine Abyss Token, she immediately said, "All disciples and elders, listen to my command and dismantle the great formation."

Everyone: ?

Everyone suspected they had misheard.

But after Yun Yun began to act, all the disciples withdrew their magic seals, and the great formation in the sky quickly dissipated.

When the great formation was small, a huge cloud of black mist swept in and quickly covered the entire floating mountain. At the very center, some kind of power condensed and turned into a deep-colored mist about half a zhang in size.

The onlookers understood that this was the Eagle Protector, who possessed the strength of a peak Dou Zong.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Amidst the swirling black mist, eerie laughter echoed, as unpleasant as the cawing of crows, reverberating throughout the land.

"Yao Chen, I didn't expect to see you here. I originally wanted to leave, but now I can't bear to give up this merit."

"If we take you back, you will surely be valued by several elders and even the Palace Master."

"When the time comes, the reward will be enough to allow me to break through to the Dou Zun level!"

The Eagle Protector was extremely excited, thinking it was a windfall.

Those with higher status in the Soul Palace know better than anyone that Yao Chen comes from the Yao Clan, one of the imperial clans, possesses the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, an extraordinary flame, is an eighth-grade nine-colored alchemist, and has reached the Heavenly level in soul cultivation. Any one of these qualities is enough to move the Venerable Elders, or even the Heavenly Venerable.

Yao Chen is of immense benefit to the Soul Palace's grand plan, which is why even the supreme Palace Master personally paid attention to this matter.

He has now reached the peak of Dou Zong, but he still can't find a way to break through to Dou Zun. However, if he receives a reward from the Soul Hall...

"Hehehe!" The Eagle Protector took out a bead from his ring and crushed it. An invisible wave spread out, transforming into a spatial barrier. Even a Dou Zun expert would need some time to tear it apart. It was one of the treasures he had exchanged for with his merits over the decades.

Zhang Yuan: "."

They were thinking the same thing.

The old apothecary glanced around indifferently and sneered, "A bunch of rats who only do treacherous things in the gutter. If it weren't for that ingrate Han Feng's sneak attack, you wouldn't be qualified to take me away."

"Today, I, the deity of yesteryear, will collect some interest on that debt!"

The old doctor's eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.

The information revealed in his words shocked everyone beyond measure.

A peak Dou Zong has no right to speak, yet he calls himself "the true self," so this figure that emerged from Xiao Yan's body was actually a Dou Zun powerhouse!?

Just how powerful is the Nine Abyss Palace?!

"Heh heh, Yao Chen, if you still had a body, this protector wouldn't even have the right to run away."

"But you are only a soul now. Even if you reach the Heavenly Realm, my Soul Palace has plenty of ways to deal with you!"

The black mist began to surge violently, eventually coalescing into a figure shrouded in deep black smoke, with a pair of eagle-like eyes appearing on its face.

The next moment, he flipped his hand, and a glowing black chain flew out, winding and coiling around him like a living venomous snake.

"Jie Jie!"

With a strange laugh, the Eagle Protector flicked his arm, and the chains instantly pierced through space. With a few leaps, he charged towards Yao Chen.

The old apothecary's face was icy cold, and he attacked without hesitation. His body was surrounded by surging, eerie white flames as he shot out.

,

"Bah!"

The tip of the black silk chain rippled with strange energy, condensing into mysterious runes that devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Then, spiral patterns coiled around the tip of the chain.

These spiritual energies, transformed by the chains, turned into black malevolent energy, a sight that terrified anyone who saw it.

The old doctor's eyes narrowed, and he could sense that the power on this chain could cause great damage to the soul.

If it were an ordinary powerful soul, it would be difficult to deal with, but the bone spirit cold fire he controlled was not afraid. It directly met the challenge head-on, transforming into a rocket that shot out and collided fiercely with the black line chains.
