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

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head. He had heard Chen Yang mention the Life and Death Gate of the Yunlan Sect. For those younger generations who could trigger the gate's response, entering was not very dangerous, and once they came out, their cultivation and strength would greatly increase.

Focusing her mind on cultivation is a good thing for Nalan Yanran!

"Yun'er, Yanran is in seclusion. Don't work too hard on yourself. If you can't manage, let Yafei help you keep an eye on things!" Chen Yang was referring to Yun Yun's seclusion for cultivation.

"I know. I know how to deal with the sect after all this has happened!" Yun Yun's usually gentle voice became more resolute as she said this, and she did seem to have the air of a sect leader.

Chen Yang reached out and hugged her. After a few minutes, he gently kissed Yun Yun's forehead and then said goodbye: "Then I'll be going!"

Yun Yun gazed at him reluctantly. Her aloof nature prevented her from expressing her emotions in front of so many people. The woman simply waved her hand, a single tear slowly rolling down her cheek as she watched Chen Yang and the other three disappear into the horizon…

Chapter 98 Scorpion-Slaying Mountain! Iron Protector Appears!

In the original novel, it took Xiao Yan, who had just entered the Dou Huang realm, Zi Yan, who had advanced to the sixth-tier magical beast realm, and Queen Medusa, who was equivalent to a four-star Dou Zong, four and a half days to travel from the capital of the Jia Ma Empire to the center of the Chu Yun Empire.

The location of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is even further away.

After flying to the border and entering the Izumo Empire, Chen Yang used his battle qi to carry the three of them, unfolded a pair of phoenix wings, and their speed immediately increased to an extremely exaggerated level.

The original "Phoenix Soaring to the Nine Heavens" was a low-level Earth-rank combat skill. However, after it was merged with "Phoenix Soaring Steps" to become the high-level Earth-rank "Phoenix Dancing to the Nine Heavens", the speed of the Phoenix Wings, which was used solely for traveling, even surpassed that of ordinary mid-level Earth-rank flying combat skills.

In addition, since Dou Zong is naturally fast, Chen Yang managed to arrive in half a day what would normally be a three- or four-day journey.

"Phew... Exciting, damn exciting!" Near the Wanxie Sect, Chen Yang landed in a cave at the foot of a gloomy cliff. Xiao Yan summoned the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to wipe away all the poisonous insects and plants in the cave while tidying his disheveled hair, exclaiming how exciting it was.

He had originally planned to chat with Chen Yang on the way to discuss alchemy and his own physical enhancement, but he couldn't utter a single word along the way.

Chen Yang used his fighting spirit to create a barrier to protect Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin.

As for Xiao Yan, Chen Yang claimed it was to train his will and ability to control his fighting spirit, but he had no intention of protecting him at all.

The old doctor was also pleased to see this, feeling that Xiao Yan really needed to be trained properly, so he watched with a smile.

This resulted in Xiao Yan, a one-star Dou Wang, managing to travel at a speed faster than a peak Dou Zong, while enduring the cold wind the entire way.

This is only because his physical attributes are comparable to those of a slightly weaker sixth-tier magical beast; otherwise, with his pitiful amount of battle qi, he wouldn't have lasted this long.

"Let's rest for the night. Tomorrow at noon, we'll storm into the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, kill Scorpion Biyan, and ideally wipe out the entire sect's high-end combat force before heading to their forbidden area!" Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Yan, popped a pill to restore his Dou Qi into his mouth, and whispered his instructions.

"Kill Scorpion Bi Yan and the high-end combat force of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect? Wouldn't that be equivalent to wiping out the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?" Xiao Yan was stunned upon hearing this. "Although Yan Li has offended us, it doesn't warrant us eliminating the entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, does it?"

Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin also cast curious glances. Although they unconditionally supported Chen Yang's decision, they were still somewhat curious. Could it be that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had also offended their husband (young master)?

"The Soul Hall has a shadow behind the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. I have received information that a Soul Hall protector may be in the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect at this time. We killed Protector Wu and are now at odds with the Soul Hall. Moreover, the murder of your teacher is also related to the Soul Hall."

"Moreover, not every single person in the Izumo Empire is utterly wicked, but at the very least, they are all criminals. Killing them would be a good deed!"

The name "Izumo" first appeared in the myth of "Little Days". In modern times, "Little Days" also refers to the cruiser "Izumo" and the helicopter destroyer "Izumo". Simply put, these two characters represent "Little Days".

In the Izumo Empire on the Dou Qi Continent, it is basically the domain of poison masters. It is understandable if you do not cultivate poison-attribute Dou Qi in the Izumo Empire, but if you go out without using poison or killing people indiscriminately, your peers will really look down on you.

Therefore, killing people from this country was not a big burden for Chen Yang, not to mention that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was colluding with the Soul Palace.

"The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is actually colluding with the Soul Palace?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed instantly. After the incident involving the Protector Wu of the Yunlan Sect, Yao Lao had told him about the Soul Palace and mentioned that his own death was related to the Soul Palace. Therefore, Xiao Yan was only shocked by the fact that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was colluding with the Soul Palace.

"Okay!" Chen Yang nodded.

"I understand, Brother Yang." Xiao Yan said, taking out a pill to restore his Dou Qi and putting it in his mouth. He then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to recover.

"Qinglin and I should have no problem dealing with some Dou Wang level opponents!" Little Fairy Doctor said after hearing Chen Yang's words.

She has successfully broken through to the Dou Wang level in the past few days. Although she is only a one-star Dou Wang, she has an advantage, especially when dealing with some powerful figures from the Chuyun Empire who mainly use poison.

“White Fang can also join the battle!” Qing Lin said, his pupils flashing, and the menacing eight-winged black serpent king flew out.

Because this guy protected the Xiao family last time, Chen Yang kept his promise and gave it a pill. Now, White Fang is equivalent to an eighth-level Dou Huang. With the physical attributes of a magical beast, even a peak Dou Huang might not be able to get a good fight against it.

"You must be careful!" Chen Yang nodded, not refusing to let them participate in the battle.

He brought Xiao Yan with him this time. If Xie Biyan's strength is at least a three-star Dou Zong level, he will trigger the system mechanism and instantly become stronger than Xie Biyan.

If Xie Biyan were only a two-star Dou Zong or below, he could kill him with a single sword strike.

As for that Iron Guardian, he was a piece of trash whose performance in the original story was even worse than that of the Duck Guardian, yet he could still kill him with a single finger.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to worry about the safety of Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin.

……

Overnight, Chen Yang and his three companions had all recovered to their peak condition. At this moment, their group's formation was as follows:

Chen Yang, a three-star Dou Zong, possesses two high-level Earth-rank Dou Techniques. After activating the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, he can instantly kill ordinary nine-star Dou Zong if they are careless.

Xiao Yan, a one-star Dou Wang, possesses the low-level Earth-rank Dou Technique Flame Splitting Wave Ruler and the Emperor-rank Dou Technique Ghost Possession. When he and Yao Lao unleash their full power together, they can reach the peak strength of a Dou Zong.

Little Fairy Doctor, a one-star Dou Wang, also possesses three Earth-rank Dou Techniques. Facing the poison experts of the Chuyun Empire, she can unleash combat power comparable to the peak of a Dou Wang. Even some low-rank Dou Huangs who specialize in poison techniques may not be able to gain the upper hand in front of her.

Qing Lin is a nine-star Dou Ling, but with her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, she wields the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King, whose combat power is comparable to that of a peak Dou Huang. If the Wanxie Sect experts on the other side use snake-like magical beasts to attack, Qing Lin can even turn enemies into friends.

At noon, the sun shone brightly in the sky. This time of intense heat naturally suppressed the cold and yin nature of Poison Fighting Qi. If Little Fairy Doctor hadn't possessed the Calamity Poison Body, she too would have been suppressed under the sun.

In contrast, Chen Yang and Xiao Yan were like fish in water or dragons in the sea under such circumstances, able to unleash their full strength.

"go!"

Having pinpointed the location of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Chen Yang waved his hand and led everyone straight towards the sect's gate.

The four people, who did not conceal their identities, were quickly discovered by the Wanxie Sect members. In particular, Chen Yang, a Dou Zong who flew through the air without using his Dou Qi wings, terrified the Wanxie Sect disciples guarding the mountain gate. They quickly reported to their sect leader, Xie Shan.

A moment later, Scorpion Mountain, with a gloomy face and dressed in a magnificent robe, flew up from the mountain building and headed straight for Chen Yang and his group.

"I was unaware of your presence, senior. I apologize for not welcoming you properly." At this moment, Scorpion Mountain was only a Seven-Star Dou Huang. Looking at the one Dou Zong, two Dou Wang, and one Dou Ling in front of him, he dared not offend them.

"I cannot forgive you!" Chen Yang said calmly, looking at the smiling Scorpion Mountain. Then, he pointed his fingers together and slashed a crimson sword aura at Scorpion Mountain. Scorpion Mountain's pupils trembled violently. He felt as if a huge sun was crashing down on him. He mustered all his fighting spirit to try to dodge, but he was as if he was nailed to the air.

"Ancestor, save me!" Xie Shan cried out in fury, but before he could utter the cry, he was cleaved in two.

"Ah!!!" Below, all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were stunned by what they saw.

The sect leader of the Seven Star Douhuang sect was cleaved in two by the young man in a single exchange, which was quite horrifying even in the Wanxie Sect, where people died every day.

Seeing this, Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction. The fighting technique he had just used was the Xuan-rank high-level fighting technique "Sunset Sword Art" that he obtained by first triggering the system mechanism in Wutan City. If he couldn't kill a seven-star Dou Huang with his Dou Zong cultivation, he would really be laughed to death!

"boom!"

Just then, under the blazing sun, a terrifying surge of battle aura flashed through the churning green poisonous clouds.

Then, an old man's figure appeared strangely in mid-air. He held a flat cane in his hand. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be just an ordinary old man. However, the piercing light in his eyes and the ferocious scorpion head on his cane that was flashing with purple light all indicated that this old man was no ordinary old man.

"Young man, as a Dou Zong expert, to actually try to kill a Dou Huang junior is truly beneath your dignity!" Xie Biyan said indifferently, his turbid eyes fixed on Chen Yang.

"I originally thought that with the help of the Soul Hall, you would be at least a three-star Dou Zong, but I didn't expect you to be only two stars, and it seems that you have only recently been promoted?" Chen Yang looked at Xie Biyan with slight disappointment.

In fact, the moment he led Xiao Yan onto the sky above the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, he already knew the details of Scorpion Bi Yan's background, since the system hadn't moved at all.

"Hmph! Young man, today I'll show you that even though I've only recently advanced to the second-star Dou Zong level, I'm not someone you junior can look down on!" With that, Xie Biyan paused his cane in mid-air, and a strange green Dou Qi erupted instantly, about to strike Chen Yang.

"Disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, listen to my command! Kill this brat's companions!" Scorpion Biyan said, heading straight for Chen Yang.

"Old man, today I'll show you that in the face of absolute strength, your attempts to rely on your age are futile!" With that, a crimson longsword suddenly appeared in Chen Yang's hand.

"Buddha's light shines everywhere!" Chen Yang murmured to himself, and golden light swirled around the long sword in his hand. Then, a golden sword aura rushed straight towards Scorpion Rock.

"Hmph, you brat dare to look down on me! I'll capture you and hand you over to that person, so your soul will suffer the torment of being devoured day and night!" Xie Biyan sneered inwardly. As his green battle qi surged, he unleashed a high-level Xuan-rank battle technique, intending to fight Chen Yang head-on.

However, when this "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere" move was used by the peak Rainbow Cat in "Walking the World," it was enough to easily deal with the four swords combined by Jump Jump and others. After being modified by the system, this sword move, which reached the peak of righteousness, was simply invincible against the sinister fighting spirit of Scorpion Biyan.

Therefore, by the time Xie Biyan realized that his poisonous fighting spirit was being destroyed bit by bit by the golden light, it was already too late.

"How is this possible!!!" Just like Scorpion Mountain before, Scorpion Biyan's cloudy old eyes were filled with shock. He wanted to fight back, but it was too late.

The golden sword light annihilated his green poisonous fighting spirit with overwhelming force, and then destroyed the cane in his hand. At the last moment, Xie Biyan ruthlessly blew off one of his own arms, barely managing to save half his life.

However, Chen Yang would not let him leave.

With a backhand flick of his wrist, he unleashed the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, sending nine dark red sword energy dragons hurtling towards Xie Biyan from nine directions.

"Oops!"

Scorpion Biyan cursed under his breath as he looked at the fire dragon that had completely blocked his escape route. Just as he was about to fight to the death, a strange black mist suddenly appeared above him and reached out to pull him out of the raging fire...

Chapter 99: Destroying the Iron Protector! Looting the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!

"Jie Jie Jie..."

"Xie Biyan, a mere brat has driven you to this point. You're really getting worse as you get older!"

A familiar laugh rang out above the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate. Xiao Yan and the others subconsciously looked over and saw a black figure dressed similarly to Protector Wu, holding a Scorpion Jade in his hand and sneering.

"Hiss... Thank you for saving me, Protector Iron. This kid's fighting skills are a bit strange. Protector Iron, please be careful!" Xie Biyan looked at Protector Iron and said with some lingering fear.

"Don't worry, just hand this person over to me. No matter how strange his fighting skills are, they are all in vain before the methods of my Soul Palace!" After saying that, Protector Tie released Scorpion Biyan and looked up at Chen Yang.

"Boy, you are indeed amazing to have the strength of a three-star Dou Zong at such a young age. It's just a pity that you will perish at the hands of this protector today!" Protector Tie sneered, and the black iron chains suddenly shot out from his body and rushed straight towards Chen Yang.

"Are all the people in the Soul Hall fools like you who love to talk big?" Chen Yang sneered, still using the move "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere." To deal with villainous forces like the Soul Hall and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, the "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere" sword move, which is expansive and contains the principles of justice, is the most suitable.

A dazzling golden light surrounded the Iron Guardian's chains, which were entangled by the sword light. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull them back.

"Xie Biyan, attack together!" Seeing the situation was not good, Iron Protector hurriedly shouted to Xie Biyan beside him.

"Xie Biyan, your opponent is me!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan instantly transformed into Yao Lao, his azure Dou Qi wings turning white, and he charged towards Xie Biyan wielding the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

"Damn it, I've dominated the Chuyun Empire for a hundred years, and today I'm being bullied by these brats. Do they really think I have no trump cards?" When Xie Biyan saw Xiao Yan charging towards him, he gritted his teeth, tore open his robe, and revealed a giant blood-red scorpion tattoo.

"Blood Demon Scorpion King?" Yao Lao's voice rang out, mixed with Xiao Yan's.

"You do have some discerning eye. Today, if you can die under the Blood Soul Technique of my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, your journey to the mortal realm will not have been in vain!" Scorpion Bi Yan sneered, and the tattoo directly burrowed into his body. "Ah!"

Scorpion Biyan immediately let out a painful cry, and a moment later, his remaining hand transformed into a giant blood-red pincer.

However, the changes did not stop. In less than three seconds, Xie Biyan was transformed into a half-human, half-scorpion monster.

"I originally thought your aura could rise to the level of a three-star Dou Zong, but I didn't expect that because Brother Yang cut off your arm, you are only at the peak of the two-star Dou Zong level with your incomplete body. How pathetic, how utterly pathetic!" Xiao Yan sneered, and then completely handed his body over to Yao Lao's control.

"It's been a long time since I've felt this excited, Xiao Yan. Watch closely, this is the real Flame Dividing Wave Ruler!" With that, Yao Lao wiped his palm on the Xuan Heavy Ruler, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire instantly ignited the flame patterns on the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

"Flame Divide - Devouring Wave Ruler!!!" Yao Lao's voice, mixed with Xiao Yan's long and drawn-out voice, slowly rang out above the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Immediately afterwards, a white ruler light burst out from the Xuan Heavy Ruler and appeared on Scorpion Bi Yan's chest in the blink of an eye.

"Stab!"

The blade pierced through Xie Biyan's chest without any obstruction, shattering his life force.

“Peak of Dou Zong…” Xie Biyan’s face, which had been contorted with pain, was surprisingly calm at this moment. He looked down at his shattered chest and his internal organs that had been burned by the strange fire, his face filled with astonishment.
