Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

As if the world had fallen silent for a moment, the raging lava and scalding heat waves surged toward Xiao Yan like a vortex.

Chapter 108 Zi Yan: You old fool, don't go around claiming relatives! Retreat! Retreat! Breakthrough to the Peak of Dou Wang (Second Update)

"Rumble..."

The entire lava world was stirred up into turbulent waves, and at this moment, Xiao Yan possessed two different flames. The two flame seeds were controlled by the Fire and the Essence Fire, respectively, transforming into two monstrous dragons that were churning up the seas here.

With just a slight opening of its mouth, countless fiery energies were swallowed into it.

"Huff..."

Even Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment.

"Such an exaggerated level of energy purity."

"Never mind, let's continue cultivating..."

He casually tossed a jade bottle to Zi Yan, who was sitting on a huge rock, idly swinging her slender little legs. "This is your three-month supply. If you finish it before then, there won't be any more food."

"oh oh!!"

Zi Yan was practically wagging her tail, excitedly taking the jade bottle. She carefully opened the stopper, looked at the bottle full of pills, swallowed hard, patted her chest, and said proudly, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bother you."

"..."

Xiao Yan completely ignored those words. If he couldn't sense anything unusual with his soul power, he might as well just wait to die...

……

March will pass in the blink of an eye.

The world of lava was deathly silent and dull.

Even the scorching wind that used to howl was nowhere to be heard.

Zi Yan swung her short, fair legs, resting her chin on her hand and staring at the spot where Xiao Yan was. It had turned into a fiery cocoon, and the sound of a Xuan staff being swung through the air could be heard from inside from time to time, but the sound was getting weaker and weaker. If she could not clearly hear the breathing coming from inside, she would probably think that this guy was dead there...

"Is it not ready yet? This world is so boring..."

"Child, is that you?"

Just as Zi Yan was idly fiddling with the empty bottle, a low growl, suppressed with excitement and elation, faintly reached her ears.

"who?!!"

Zi Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she stood up, looking around defensively.

"I...I am your father..."

The voice grew fainter and fainter, yet it was filled with boundless grief and indignation, as if it came from the unfathomable depths of this lava world.

Zi Yan looked bewildered and pointed to herself.

"Me, Dad?!"

"Don't go around claiming relatives, you old fool. I've always been alone, I don't have any fake father." Zi Yan was a little scared, her pale purple eyes wide, as if she wanted to scare the man away.

His finger pointed to the boundless, crimson depths of the underground.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The voice fell silent.

It's unclear whether her worry about her daughter's intelligence overshadowed her joy at the reunion, or whether she turned her gaze to Xiao Yan, who was enveloped in a fiery cocoon.

"Was it him who brought you here?"

“That’s right.” Zi Yan said confidently.

"If you want to cause trouble, go find him. Don't bother me anymore."

The voice seemed to cough, "If you can, come to the bottom and find me. I have something to entrust to you, regarding... the entrustment of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."

"The Ancient Dragon of the Void?"

Zi Yan's eyes gradually went blank. That guy actually recognized her too?

Could it be... that he really is her father?!

"Hey, Dad... oops, Old Deng, are you still alive? Do you know I'm the Ancient Dragon of the Void? Speak up... stop playing dead."

Zi Yan cupped her hands in front of her mouth and shouted down into the abyss.

But only her voice echoed throughout the entire lava world, as if that voice had never existed, and it vanished completely.

"What...?"

Zi Yan's beautiful eyes gradually dimmed, and she sat back in her original seat, pouting and muttering something.

Since birth, he has had to compete with those guys for food in order to improve his cultivation and find out his origins. He says he hates his parents whom he has never met, but in reality, he still longs for family affection.

Now that mysterious guy claims to be her father, it has stirred up ripples in her heart.

But there was nothing they could do; they couldn't disturb Xiao Yan's cultivation, so they could only continue to wait.

Several more days passed.

Just as Zi Yan couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go down and search for it herself...

A deafening roar suddenly erupted throughout the entire lava world.

The fiery cocoon was violently torn apart by a black iron rod, and then, carrying a terrifying gust of wind, it stirred up huge waves in the underground world.

An invisible force stirred up the entire lava world, causing it to tremble with unease. Huge waves of lava were unleashed, then crashed down with a deafening roar, spraying lava everywhere and creating a terrifying sound...

"call……"

Xiao Yan stepped out from within.

His upper body was bare, revealing his agile figure. His fair and translucent skin radiated a pale white glow, which was out of place with the surrounding environment. It was as if a milky white mysterious aura enveloped his whole body and protected his body from being eroded by the lava.

His staff technique was so mysterious and unpredictable that no one could discern his skill.

But its power is exceptionally strong.

Like several fire dragons coiled on it, baring their fangs and claws, they roared out and crashed into the surrounding lava boulders, creating endless explosions and booming sounds.

"Are you finally done?"

Zi Yan excitedly flashed to Xiao Yan's side, but then her pale purple eyes became somewhat blank: "Wait, this aura, you...you've broken through to Dou Huang?"

"Just a hair's breadth away," Xiao Yan said with some regret.

"Peak of the Battle King."

"A monster."

Zi Yan swallowed hard. In just three short months, she had already broken through from the second star of Dou Wang to the peak of Dou Wang.

"Just lucky," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

It was quite pleasant.

With his cultivation level skyrocketing, he became increasingly adapted to this world. However, this was only a result of his cultivation here. If it were the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, even the first level, the effect would likely be greatly reduced...

He then tossed a bottle of pills to Ziyan.

He rubbed his head and said, "You've done a good job lately."

At least they are doing their duty to protect themselves. As for whether it's useful or not... well, the sentiment is what matters.

"Cough cough cough..." Zi Yan recalled what had just happened and felt a little guilty, but she quickly changed the subject and said, "I think I just heard a sound."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly turned serious.

"It...it said it's my father, and told me to go down there to find it. It also knows my identity is the Ancient Dragon of the Void." Zi Yan scratched her head and said, having almost forgotten about this while she was so excited about the pills.

"..."

Xiao Yan remained silent, seemingly having brought the right Zi Yan.

It's basically a portable bloodline sensor. In the original story, he only obtained a trace of Zi Yan's bloodline before that guy discovered it and started hunting him down. Now that a huge Zi Yan has entered the underground world, there's no reason why he wouldn't notice.

However, since it hasn't appeared, it must be firmly bound by those chains.

A dignified peak nine-star Dou Sheng expert.

An existence that dominates the continent.

Now reduced to a mere gatekeeper, it's truly pathetic and lamentable. But this continent has no shortage of gamblers, who stake everything on the table, hoping for a trial by fate, but alas…

However, once a move is made, there's no going back; the winner takes all.

It is also the deeper underlying tone of this continent.

Chapter 109 Xiao Yan: This is a new staff technique I learned; Zi Yan: You call this a staff technique? (Third update)

"Are you going?"

Zi Yan stared intently at Xiao Yan with her big, watery eyes, her small hand gently tugging at his sleeve and shaking it: "Come on, come on, Zi Yan wants to see what's down there..."

"Then let's go."

Xiao Yan waved his hand.
