Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

Chapter 68 Chen Yang: Can the Heavenly Serpent Mansion withstand a single blow from a Dou Sheng expert?

"That's... Young Master's voice!" Hai Bodong was about to use the Xuanbing Shield to block the Green Barbarian's escape route when his hand suddenly stopped. Although he had only spent two days with Chen Yang, he would never forget Chen Yang's voice.

"Whoosh!" The fleeing Green Barbarian was startled by the sudden sound and stopped abruptly, looking around in a panic.

"Bang!" A sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out, startling Green Barbarian. She hurriedly looked in front of her and saw a man of about twenty years old wearing a green robe carrying a boy of about eighteen years old dressed in alchemist's attire.

The man in the green robe slowly lost his pair of fiery red wings, but remained standing in the void. The young man in the alchemist's robe beside him spread his pair of blue wings and hovered in the air. Both of them looked at him coldly.

The Heavenly Serpent Palace is also a formidable force on the Dou Qi Continent. Its sect also boasts Dou Zun experts, though they are likely to be immortal figures like the four elders of the Serpent Clan, who only emerge when faced with a catastrophic disaster for their sect.

Therefore, Green Barbarian had a discerning eye; she could tell that what the man in the green robe had just put away was not a battle aura transforming into wings, but a high-level flight combat technique.

The only explanation for why he could retract his flying combat technique without falling is that his opponent was a Dou Zong level expert.

However, no matter how broad her horizons were, she had never seen such a young Dou Zong powerhouse before. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: she had kicked a hornet's nest.

“Lord Dou Zong, I am Lü Man, from the Heavenly Serpent Palace. We have no ill intentions toward this little girl; we simply wish to take her away and train her!” Lü Man hurriedly said to Chen Yang.

"Hmph!" Chen Yang snorted coldly, raised his hand and beckoned to Qing Lin. The little girl in green, who was tightly wrapped by the Green Barbarian, flew into his arms. The unconscious Qing Lin seemed to smell Chen Yang's scent, and her breathing became more even.

"You..." Seeing that Chen Yang didn't even give face to the Heavenly Serpent Palace, Green Barbarian smiled bitterly to herself. This young Dou Zong powerhouse was probably a genius disciple from a major force in the Central Continent.

“The Heavenly Serpent Mansion has become increasingly arrogant over the years, daring to even come to my territory to kidnap my woman!” Chen Yang patted Qing Lin’s back to soothe the girl’s panicked heart, temporarily shutting down the system notification in his mind, and looked at Lü Man with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"This is the fault of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. When Green Barbarian returns, she will definitely report to the Palace Master and give you an explanation!" Green Barbarian said respectfully, not daring to overstep her bounds in the slightest.

"Heh...you still want to go back?" Chen Yang sneered.

"Your Excellency... how can you let me go..." On the Dou Qi Continent, everything has a price. In Green Barbarian's view, she had not offended this Dou Zong powerhouse to death. He knew about the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and naturally knew that she had no ill intentions in taking away the owner of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

At this moment, Green Barbarian gritted her teeth, wanting to give herself a good scolding. How could she have been so stupid as to barge into a family with a Dou Huang expert and forcibly steal someone away?

If the Heavenly Serpent Mansion were to take on a disciple with its resources, even if the other party refused, it would still be a good relationship. Why offend a young Dou Zong powerhouse, or even a powerful force far surpassing the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?

"It seems that Miss Green Barbarian is also a smart person!" Chen Yang looked at Green Barbarian, his cold eyes turning kind. Green Barbarian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Being able to talk meant that she could live.

“If you want to leave the Jia Ma Empire alive, the conditions are very simple.” Chen Yang said, holding up three fingers and then pressing down one. “First, you need a cultivation technique, fighting skill, or secret technique suitable for Qing Lin to cultivate. The cultivation technique must be at least Earth-rank. As you can see, Qing Lin herself cultivates a high-level Profound-rank cultivation technique.”

"Secondly, I need at least enough cultivation resources to support Qing Lin's cultivation to the Dou Huang level. I don't need finished pills; I'll write down the required medicinal materials for you later. Once you've collected them all, send them to me."

"Thirdly, this stupid snake!"

Cultivation techniques, resources, bodyguards—Chen Yang was prepared to request everything from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. He believed the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would agree.

At this moment, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King was being besieged by Hai Bodong and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and had no way to escape. In the early stages, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King was Qing Lin's bodyguard, but in the later stages, it became Qing Lin's nourishment. Once Qing Lin became a Dou Wang, he would devour the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King in one go, and breaking through to Dou Wang would be a piece of cake.

“This…” Green Barbarian felt extremely bitter when she heard Chen Yang make such an outrageous demand.

The Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion are only qualified for cultivation by the lineage of the Mansion Master. As an inner sect elder, she only cultivates high-level Profound-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, not to mention the secret techniques that Chen Yang needs.

Compared to all of this, the resources to support that little girl's cultivation to the Dou Huang level are secondary. She simply handed over her storage ring. As a Dou Huang powerhouse, she has quite a lot of resources.

However, resources are easy to negotiate, and cultivation techniques can be discussed with the manor lord, but this White Fang is a genuine sixth-tier magical beast!!!

"What, Miss Green Barbarian is unwilling? Then I will have to ask my third uncle to go to the Heavenly Serpent Palace and see if the Heavenly Serpent Palace can withstand a blow from a Dou Sheng powerhouse!" Chen Yang raised his hand and summoned the volcanic stone flame. The aura of the strange fire instantly filled the entire battlefield. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King in the distance was suddenly stunned and was turned into a Black Mamba by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Crystal Seal.

"Strange Fire!!!" Although Green Barbarian did not recognize volcanic stone flame, she could tell that it was a strange fire. Instantly, the last bit of hope in her heart disappeared completely.

At twenty years old, a Dou Zong, possessing a different kind of fire, she wouldn't believe it if you told her that the other party's family didn't have a Dou Sheng.

"I agree to all your conditions, but the Earth-rank cultivation technique of the Heavenly Serpent Palace is inherited by the Palace Master's lineage. I can only obtain it after I return and report to the Palace Master."

"Green Barbarian has three scrolls of high-level Xuan-rank combat techniques that I use. I'll give them to Miss Green Scale for temporary use!"

Green Barbarian was very sensible. Upon seeing the volcanic stone flame, she had no other thoughts and directly took out three scrolls from her storage ring and presented them with both hands.

Chen Yang raised his hand, and three scrolls flew into his hand. He then stuffed them into Qing Lin's storage ring. Next, Chen Yang took out a blank scroll and used his soul power to imprint the main medicinal ingredients of various pills that Qing Lin needed to cultivate to the Dou Huang level. After writing it down, Chen Yang thought for a moment and added the medicinal ingredients needed for some other pills, such as the Fusion Spirit Pill. Finally, he wrote "multiply by ten" at the end and then tossed the scroll to Lü Man.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Your Excellency. I have offended you greatly this time. The cultivation techniques and combat skills will be delivered within a month. As for these medicinal herbs, I will try my best to collect them and deliver them within three months!" I believe that as long as I accurately describe Chen Yang's situation to the Lord of the Manor, those people will definitely agree to these requests.

To put it bluntly, these cultivation techniques, fighting skills, secret methods, and medicinal herbs are no longer just money to buy Green Barbarian's life, but money to buy the lives of the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Who can blame them when they open their mouths and claim to be a Dou Sheng powerhouse?

"call out!"

Just when Green Barbarian thought he could leave easily, Chen Yang raised his hand and sent a flame of volcanic rock into Green Barbarian's body.

“This strange fire can only remain dormant for a month. If you don’t come after a month, your wood-attribute battle qi will probably only serve as nourishment for it. As for the outcome…” Chen Yang didn’t finish speaking, but Green Barbarian already sensed the danger of death.

"Get out!"

"Yes, Green Barbarian will definitely go and return as soon as possible!"

Green Barbarian slunk away. Even though she was a mid-level Dou Huang, it would take her at least ten days to return from the Jia Ma Empire to the Heavenly Serpent Palace. Time was of the essence!

After the eight-winged black serpent king was sealed by the amethyst seal, its four pairs of wings disappeared, and its size shrank to three meters long and as thick as a child's forearm.

Amethyst Winged Lion King: "Master!"

Hai Bodong: "Young Master! Young Master, please forgive me. It was my fault for not protecting Mistress properly, and I almost put her in danger!"

Hai Bodong dared not truly regard Qinglin as Chen Yang's maid. Anyone with eyes could see that Chen Yang had only refrained from making a move because of the girl's young age; this girl would be Chen Yang's woman sooner or later.

"Elder Hai, there's no need to blame yourself. It was those guys from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion who were too cunning. But the outcome is good now. Qing Lin was saved, and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has agreed to compensate us. We've also gained another Dou Huang-level fighter!"

Chen Yang looked at the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King on the ground, grabbed it with a wave of his hand, and then used the secret technique that Yao Lao had given him. Next, Chen Yang casually broke the seal that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had placed on the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King. Finally, he took out the Rainbow Sword and cut off the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's pursuit with one stroke!

"what!!!"

Before the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King had fully recovered, it felt a sharp pain, and the entire serpent twisted in agony.

It wasn't a big deal that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was a lioness, but Hai Bodong and Xiao Yan were both men, and they immediately felt a chill in their groins, turning into the "clutching their crotches" group.

Chen Yang's face remained expressionless. The way he cut off the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's Chase showed no sign of its original intention to covet Medusa.

"Whoosh!" Seeing the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King still writhing there, Chen Yang waved his hand and sent a volcanic rock flame into its body. Instantly, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King became as docile as a kitten.

"Little Eight!" Chen Yang said calmly, looking at the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King.

"Yes, sir!" The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King instantly switched into its role, and between chasing and losing, it undoubtedly chose losing.

"From now on, you will follow and protect Qinglin, understand?" Chen Yang, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King, said calmly.

"Yes, sir!" Little Eight-Bone said obsequiously, then shrank to a foot in length, its eight pairs of wings flapping as it hovered beside Green Scale.

Hai Bodong and Xiao Yan watched as Chen Yang subdued another sixth-tier magical beast with a wave of his hand, and couldn't help but shake their heads in admiration, thinking, "He truly deserves to be called a Dou Zong powerhouse."

"Brother Yang, what's your strange fire ranked? It seems a bit stronger than my Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!" Xiao Yan chuckled and stepped forward to ask.

"Ranked seventeenth, not much higher than your Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!" Chen Yang waved his hand.

"No wonder you look down on the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, Brother Yang!" Xiao Yan stretched his back and said with emotion.

"Keep up the good work! Your technique is quite extraordinary. I'll try my best to find other strange flames for you in the future!" Chen Yang said.

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

Seeing Xiao Yan laughing there, and Hai Bodong and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also recovering, Chen Yang then remembered the system notification sound he had turned off when he first arrived in the capital, and hurriedly opened the system panel:

【Ding……】

Chapter 69 A Rank Six Alchemist! Adding to Xing Tian's fear!

[The highest-ranking alchemist detected in the capital of the Gama Empire is Fa Ma, a fifth-grade alchemist. The host's alchemist rank has been upgraded to sixth-grade alchemist!]

[The highest-level medicine cauldron detected in the capital of the Gama Empire is a Tier 6 cauldron belonging to Famo. The host has obtained a Tier 7 medicine cauldron!]

[The most precious soul-type medicinal herb in the capital of the Gama Empire has been detected as Seven-Illusion Azure Spirit Saliva. The host has obtained the Bright Moon Three Immortal Herbs!]

[Detected that the highest level of movement techniques in the capital of the Gama Empire is a high-level Xuan-rank technique. The host has obtained the low-level Di-rank movement technique, "Phoenix Step"!]

[The host has been detected to possess both "Phoenix Soaring to the Nine Heavens" and "Phoenix Soaring Steps". Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Earth-rank high-level combat skill "Phoenix Dance to the Nine Heavens"!]

The system panel displayed five system prompts. Chen Yang had already experienced the benefits of upgrading his alchemy skills to the sixth rank. He was able to write down the medicinal materials needed for the Fusion Spirit Pill just now because he had obtained the sixth-rank alchemy skills.

What surprised Chen Yang was that the fusion of "Phoenix Soaring Steps" and "Phoenix Soaring to the Nine Heavens" resulted in "Phoenix Dancing to the Nine Heavens," which sounded a bit like old-fashioned disco, but the phrase "Phoenix Dancing to the Nine Heavens" actually describes a man of high status, and "Phoenix Dancing to the Nine Heavens" is a genuine high-level Earth-rank flying movement technique.

Aside from the skill rewards, the remaining physical rewards all remained quietly in his storage ring, ready to be used later.

"Hey..."

Just then, Qinglin, who was in Chen Yang's arms, let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes. When the girl saw her young master for the first time, her uneasy mood instantly calmed down.

"Young Master!" Qinglin called out timidly.

"Qinglin, be good. The bad guys have been chased away by the young master. Don't be afraid!" Chen Yang reached out and patted Qinglin's head. In the two months since he last saw her, Qinglin had grown taller, and her already shapely figure had become even more curvaceous. She had perfectly inherited the snake-man's alluring figure. In another year or two, she would be a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Qinglin isn't afraid of bad people, but she's afraid of being kidnapped by them and never seeing Young Master again." Chen Yang is the only light in the girl's heart, and if she loses the chance to be with him, she will be heartbroken.

"It's alright now, Qinglin will never leave Young Master again!" Chen Yang said, reaching out to place Qinglin on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, then turning to look at the two groups of four people flying in from different directions.

One of them was someone Chen Yang was quite familiar with; he even knew exactly where the mole was on her body. It was Little Fairy Doctor. Beside her was a Dou Wang powerhouse, who should be Teng Shan from the Mittel family.

The other two walked side by side. One of them was dressed in a plain yellow robe, with white hair and a youthful face, and a pair of earth-yellow battle aura wings on his back. The other was dressed in an alchemist's robe, with a fifth-grade alchemist badge on his chest and red battle aura wings on his back. It was Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma who arrived late.

"Hmph! This Jia Xingtian is getting more and more cowardly as he gets older!" Hai Bodong snorted coldly as he saw Jia Xingtian arrive late, clearly looking down on this royal family's peak Douhuang elder.

"I think the power structure of the Jia Ma Empire is about to be reshuffled..." Chen Yang looked coldly at Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma. These two old guys were just opportunists in the original story, and they deserved to be suppressed by the Yunlan Sect for so many years without being able to turn the tables.

"If Young Master is going to do something big, Hai Bodong is willing to take the lead!" If Hai Bodong's all-in bet on Chen Yang before was partly for personal gain, now it's all about loyalty.

A Dou Zong powerhouse at only twenty years old, possessing a different kind of fire, and even having a Dou Sheng background—if you don't go all in, who will?

At this moment, Xiao Yan also looked at the two people, communicating with Yao Lao in his heart.

The old apothecary found Fama somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall where he had seen him before.

Of course, at this moment, Yao Lao was still immersed in the volcanic stone flame that Chen Yang had mastered. As a member of the Yao clan and the famous Yao Venerable on the continent, he naturally knew where this volcanic stone flame had appeared.

"This Chen Yang, could he be a member of the Yan Clan? This Yan Yang sounds a bit off..." The old apothecary didn't know what was wrong with this Yan Yang, but he just felt that something was very wrong.

Putting this strange feeling out of his mind, Yao Lao was now even more convinced that Chen Yang's cultivation and alchemy skills were sealed. Otherwise, why would he use beast fire to refine pills when he clearly had a strange fire? Could it be that this guy really predicted that Queen Medusa would evolve into the Seven-Colored Devouring Python?

"The Heavenly Serpent Mansion is stepping up its efforts in the capital, yet these two Dou Huang experts are only showing up now... Hehe, it's no wonder Yang-ge is angry!" Yao Lao chuckled, also looking forward to a good show. He was a troublemaker in his youth, otherwise how could he have become so close to Xiao Yan?

"It's good that Brother Yang is doing this. The Xiao family will be moving to the capital soon, which will deter the forces in the capital and greatly benefit the Xiao family!" Xiao Yan said without hesitation, ready to step forward to help.

The old man nodded in satisfaction. Although Xiao Yan was not yet eighteen years old, he already possessed the heart of a qualified strongman in terms of temperament and other aspects.

……

At this moment, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma also saw Chen Yang standing in mid-air, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Old man Jia, you've really put me in a difficult position. You said that the other party didn't damage Jia Ma Holy City and that there might be a more powerful force behind them. Now look what's happened! The little girl from the Mittel family who was kidnapped has a Dou Zong powerhouse behind her!" Fama looked at Jia Xingtian with a bitter expression.

"How would I know!" Jia Xingtian was also flustered, and at the same time he cursed Hai Bodong. Since this bastard came back, why didn't he tell him that he had a Dou Zong powerhouse behind him? If he had known earlier, he would have risked his life to keep that woman here!
