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

[Detected that Gu He of Yunlan Sect possesses a Spirit Storage Ring. Based on the host's wishes, the host will receive three Spirit Storage Rings + three high-level storage rings!]

On the treetops by the square, Chen Yang stood seemingly floating in the air, undergoing a tremendous transformation without anyone noticing what was happening to him.

The ability gained by triggering the system mechanism is something that Zhou Yuan wouldn't be able to tell unless Chen Yang actively reveals it.

"Now, even if I go to the Cloud Empire alone, I'm confident I can retrieve the Netherworld Poison Fire from the forbidden area of ​​the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate." Chen Yang muttered to himself, casually taking Little Fairy Doctor's hand. Little Fairy Doctor turned to look at Chen Yang with a sweet smile, her beauty breathtaking.

……

At this moment, everyone at Yunlan Sect, except for Chen Yang, Hai Bodong, and others who knew that Xiao Yan had already advanced to the Dou Wang level, was completely dumbfounded.

Even Nalan Yanran, who knew that Xiao Yan was a three-star Dou Ling half a year ago, was stunned at this moment.

"Battle King?"

"Are you bragging?"

"Xiao Yan, a young master from a remote city in the Jia Ma Empire, went from nothing to becoming a Dou Wang powerhouse in just three years?"

"I do not believe!"

Do you believe it or not?

"I don't believe it either!"

"..."

At the edge of the square, some disciples of the Yunlan Sect were whispering among themselves.

Meanwhile, on the treetop, Tengshan glanced at Nalan Jie beside him, a hint of mockery flashing through his mind.

Even setting aside Chen Yang, Xiao Yan alone would be enough for any power in the Jia Ma Empire to desperately try to win him over.

Whether it's an eighteen-year-old fifth-grade alchemist or an eighteen-year-old one-star Dou Wang, they are extremely rare in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

As for Nalan Jie, he was originally the one in the entire Jia Ma Empire who had the greatest advantage in winning over Xiao Yan, but... tsk tsk...

Tengshan turned to look at his mistress Yafei and nodded in satisfaction.

That's why the Mittel family is said to be born businessmen; Yafei's investment in Wutan City has made her incredibly wealthy.

Now, he is already a five-star Dou Wang, whose strength surpasses that of the patriarchs of the other three major families. Elder Hai has even broken through to the peak of Dou Huang. Given Elder Hai's relationship with Master Chen Yang, he is probably more than a Dou Zong or Dou Zun!

Not to mention, Ya Fei was also Master Chen Yang's woman.

At this point, Nalan Jie was at a loss for words.

He was already filled with remorse when he learned that Xiao Yan was a Dou Ling and a fourth-grade alchemist.

Later, on the night before the Alchemist Conference, he learned that Xiao Yan could refine fifth-grade pills.

Now, the young man standing in front of his granddaughter is a Dou Wang powerhouse of the same level as himself.

Moreover, considering that Xiao Yan, at the Dou Ling level, was able to defeat Gu He, who was at the peak of the Dou Wang level, Xiao Yan at this time probably had the strength to fight against the Dou Huang.

"Ugh!"

Nalan Jie sighed helplessly, his back hunched over, and he looked more than ten years older in an instant.

……

Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan with a sorrowful expression. She had thought that she had worked very hard to cultivate to the level of a Great Dou Master and get closer to Xiao Yan. However, she did not expect that he had become a Dou King in just half a year.

A Battle King?

Without the Gate of Life and Death, even with her exceptional talent, Nalan Yanran would have to consider whether she could ever reach that level in her lifetime.

After reaching that level, was her hair already covered in white?

"Cough cough..."

Just as everyone had different opinions, a voice clearing its throat suddenly rang out from the platform. Since everyone present was a leader, they naturally knew that someone was about to give a speech.

"Everyone, I am Yun Leng, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect. The Sect Master is still in seclusion. Today, I will preside over the three-year agreement between our sect's young master and Xiao Yan of the Xiao family!" The speaker was none other than Yun Leng.

"???" Chen Yang looked up at Yun Leng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had just scanned the area roughly with his soul power and found that apart from the familiar Gu He, there were no other peak Dou Wang experts on the platform. Therefore, he assumed that Yun Leng, who had been punished by Yun Yun, had already withdrawn from the core level of the Yunlan Sect.

But the old man did indeed call himself Yunling, and the other powerful figures from the Gama Empire around him didn't say anything.

Chen Yang frowned and looked carefully at Yun Leng. This time, Chen Yang finally saw Yun Leng's strength clearly—a four-star Dou Huang, but he concealed it with a secret technique, showing only the strength of an eight-star Dou Wang.

"Strange, wasn't Yun Leng at the peak of Dou Wang? How come he only has the strength of an eight-star Dou Wang?" Jia Xingtian said with a puzzled look.

“I heard the young master mention before that Yun Ling made some mistakes that damaged the reputation of Yunlan Sect. I suppose it was Sect Master Yun who crippled Yun Ling by one star as punishment?” Hai Bodong said.

……

However, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and saw a look of astonishment in each other's eyes.

Immediately, Xiao Yan appeared in front of Nalan Yanran in a flash and asked through his soul force, "Miss Nalan, didn't Sister Yun Yun remove Yun Leng from his position as the Grand Elder? Why is he back again?"

Nalan Yanran shook her head blankly upon hearing this: "After you cured Grandpa, I returned to Yunlan Sect. At that time, my teacher told me personally that the position of Grand Elder Yunling had been abolished and was temporarily vacant until any elder with the surname Yun reached the peak of Dou Wang!"

"I did tell you about this during the Alchemist Conference!"

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, then looked up at Yun Leng with a gloomy gaze.

Yun Ling stroked his beard and smiled: "The pride of the Xiao family, at such a young age, he has already reached the Dou Wang cultivation level. My Yunlan Sect is deeply impressed. I beg Mr. Xiao Yan to show mercy to my young sect master and stop when he has made his move. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan turned and glanced at Chen Yang. When their eyes met, his gloomy expression instantly changed: "Of course, we can even avoid fighting. After all, I, Xiao Yan, am a man of honor. Young Sect Master Nalan is more beautiful than a celestial being. If I were to accidentally scratch her face, I would be committing a grave sin!"

"Uh..." Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Those unfamiliar with Xiao Yan often think he has the behavior of a lecherous playboy, and that even a Dou Wang wouldn't be worthy of the young sect leader.

Those familiar with Xiao Yan looked at those around them, their eyes conveying the unmistakable message: "Has Xiao Yan gone mad?"

At this moment, Nalan Yanran glared fiercely at Xiao Yan. She naturally didn't believe that Xiao Yan would develop feelings for her because of Yun Ling's words. Moreover, both of them knew that Yun Ling had been stripped of his position as Grand Elder by Yun Yun. Given this situation, could it be that the old sect leader...

"Xiao Yan, no matter what method you use, stall that bastard Yun Leng and make sure he doesn't discover anything. I'll talk to you after I find your sister-in-law!" Suddenly, Chen Yang's voice appeared in Xiao Yan's mind.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded almost imperceptibly, then continued to cup his hands towards Yun Ling and said, "Elder Yun Ling, a few days ago, on the eve of the Alchemist Conference, I spoke with Young Sect Master Nalan. She mentioned that although she is no longer my match, she still wants to spar with me to understand the gap between us!"

"As for me, I would also like to experience the profound fighting techniques of the Yunlan Sect. How about I suppress my cultivation to the level of a two-star Great Dou Master and have a spar with Young Sect Master Nalan?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the previously chattering Yunlan Sect disciples immediately began to admire him once again.

"As expected of a powerful figure who has become a Battle King at such a young age, we are all ashamed of our own lack of such composure!"

"Absolutely, absolutely! And judging from the situation, he seems to be an alchemist as well?"

"Alas, Senior Sister Nalan is so foolish!"

"..."

As for Nalan Yanran, although she didn't know what Xiao Yan was up to, since it concerned Yun Ling, she decided to cooperate with him. Moreover, Nalan Yanran also wanted to spend more time with Xiao Yan, even though she felt very uncomfortable.

So she looked at Yun Ling and said, "Elder, please allow me to spar with Xiao Yan!"

Yun Leng stroked his chin, recalling the old sect leader's instructions, and nodded: "Very well, Yunlan Sect is indebted to young friend Xiao Yan today!"

Xiao Yan nodded, but a glance revealed that Chen Yang was still in the same spot, and his heart tightened immediately.

However, at this moment, Yao Lao's voice rang in his mind: "Young Chen has already left. What is there now is an illusion created by Hai Bodong. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the fighting technique scroll has actually been mastered by Hai Bodong!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt much relieved. He turned to look at Nalan Yanran, suppressed his aura to the level of a two-star Great Dou Master, and then assumed a fighting stance...

Chapter 88 Yun Yun Imprisoned! Yun Shan Appears!

On the Yunlan Sect's plaza, Xiao Yan pulled out the Xuanzhong Ruler from his back and began a "serious" sparring session with Nalan Yanran.

From the very beginning, Nalan Yanran felt immense pressure.

Yes, Xiao Yan suppressed his Dou Qi cultivation to the level of a two-star Great Dou Master, but his physical body still possessed the physical qualities of a peak fifth-tier magical beast, even comparable to some weaker sixth-tier magical beasts.

Xiao Yan was still holding back 99% of his strength; otherwise, if he had swung the weapon a full foot wide, Nalan Yanran would have been turned into a meat pie on the spot.

"Xiao Yan, hold back, I can't hold on much longer..." Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and transmitted her voice to Xiao Yan.

"Uh... I didn't expect you to be so weak, really..." Xiao Yan withdrew some of his strength, and Nalan Yanran finally felt a sense of relief, but it wasn't exactly a relief.

Moreover, she was broken down by Xiao Yan's words!

What does "so weak" mean?

An eighteen-year-old two-star Grand Dou Master is top-notch even in the Jia Ma Empire, right?

Seeing that Nalan Yanran wasn't having too much trouble dealing with him, Xiao Yan took the initiative to give her some pointers, and then casually asked her via telepathy, "Nalan Yanran, how long has it been since you last saw my sister-in-law Yun Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran calmly dodged Xiao Yan's sword, then thrust her own sword at him, replying telepathically, "I haven't seen you since you went into seclusion, Master."

Xiao Yan frowned and asked again, "Then how did you know that Sister-in-law Yun Yun had gained some enlightenment and had not yet consumed the Imperial Extreme Pill?"

Nalan Yanran replied, "After I broke through to the second-star Great Dou Master, I saw my teacher's letter on the table in my room as soon as I came out of seclusion. It was definitely my teacher's handwriting!"

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue: "In this world, besides you, who else is particularly familiar with your teacher's handwriting, or even able to imitate it perfectly?"

Nalan Yanran replied without hesitation, and she even had this guess in mind: "The former sect master of Yunlan Sect, Yunshan!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and silently murmured the words "Yunshan" in his heart.

"Kid, be careful. I just checked with my soul power, and that Yun Leng isn't an eight-star Dou Wang, but a four-star Dou Huang. Moreover, he has an aura that I really hate!" Yao Lao's voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's mind again.

"Teacher, it seems that the end of my youth isn't so easy to draw!" Xiao Yan suddenly felt that things were getting more and more interesting.

"Hahaha, don't worry, unless a Dou Zun personally comes today, any one below Dou Zun will die!" Yao Lao said with utmost confidence.

"Dou Zun? With Brother Yang here, even a Dou Sheng would have to kneel!" A hint of disdain flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, but he continued to train Nalan Yanran.

……

"What is Xiao Yan doing?"

On the tree, the powerful figures of the Jia Ma Empire watched Xiao Yan's actions with some confusion.

Fama was about to turn around and ask Chen Yang when he suddenly froze, because there was indeed a "Chen Yang" standing next to Hai Bodong, but he had no soul aura.

"Old Hai, what's going on?" Fama asked Hai Bodong telepathically.

"Stop arguing, just watch quietly!" Hai Bodong replied telepathically, continuing to maintain the output of "Illusionary Ice Statue".

"Just let me know if anything happens later, and we'll all come together!" Fama transmitted back.

"Understood!" Hai Bodong nodded almost imperceptibly.
