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

"what is this?"

Xiao Yan looked at the black egg with a strange expression.

"Hmm... such a powerful aura." Even the mischievous Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, had a slightly pale face and withdrew her gaze somewhat timidly.

"Pressure?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback. Zi Yan's bloodline was considered to be among the absolute best in this world. The Ancient Void Dragon was capable of feeding on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Nine Netherworld Python, both of which were from the three major magical beast families.

And she could also feel the presence of the oppressive force...

He really hadn't expected this dimension.

"Could it be..."

Xiao Yan's eyes paused, then he suddenly remembered something, and his throat bobbed.

"Could this thing not belong to this world?"

Inside the cave at this moment.

The mysterious black egg floated in the air, and at this moment, the light patterns on the surface of the black egg seemed to breathe, brightening and dimming, even with a certain rhythm.

"Om..."

The mysterious black egg suddenly trembled.

There seemed to be a sound coming from inside.

"Why do you lowly beings not kneel before me?"

The next instant, a powerful pressure swept over.

Zi Yan was struggling to stay upright and shrank behind Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan, however, remained calm, but his eyes held a hint of contemplation.

"You are... the Nine Nether Sparrow?"

"..."

The black egg was silent for a moment, then spoke with some confusion: "As a person from a lower plane, how do you know the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan?"

"Your name is... Jiuyou?"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his lips.

He walked step by step toward the black egg, which, which had been so arrogant just moments before, now seemed flustered: "You, who exactly are you?!"

She is a direct descendant of the Nine Nether Clan. Her father is the patriarch of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan, whose status is undeniably noble. The Nine Nether Sparrow Clan is one of the most powerful clans on the entire continent, and its secrets are not something that people from lower planes could possibly know.

But this person...

It seems even more mysterious than her origins?

Xiao Yan looked around at the corpses scattered all over the ground and smiled: "It seems you've already failed once. The Nine Netherworld Sparrow is indeed not so easy to evolve."

I never expected that just one sentence would cause such a stir.

He wasn't entirely sure, after all, this was the Battle Through the Heavens, not the Great Thousand Worlds, but the other side's reaction confirmed that what he said was true.

This also explains why a single black egg could keep the group of fire lizards away.

It turned out to be the pressure of bloodline.

"You even know this?" Jiuyou asked in astonishment.

"So after experiencing a defeat, your cultivation level is far inferior to what it used to be. In fact, you only have a cultivation level comparable to a five-star Dou Zong to suppress them. It's purely a bloodline pressure and your previous ruthlessness that's putting on an empty city ploy. If those fire lizards react, you will not escape death."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"you……"

The black egg remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "What do you want?"

"you!"

Xiao Yan smiled and pointed at the black egg.

"You're dreaming!!" Jiuyou said angrily.

“I know your goal is to return to the Great Thousand World. I can help you. Secondly, I will sign a soul contract with you, witnessed by the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity. If the betrayer’s soul falls into hell, it will never be able to sink. In other words, it is not a slave contract, but an equal contract.”

Xiao Yan said seriously.

"With your current strength, is it even possible for you to attempt another evolution?"

"..."

Black Egg fell silent.

The boy's mystery certainly piqued her curiosity.

And of course, there's this incredible talent.

Even if placed in the vast world, it would probably not be too weak.

And most importantly, just as the boy said, she really had no choice. Surrounded by wolves, if she didn't break through as soon as possible, she would only face death.

More importantly, the young man was willing to sign a contract with her, meaning they would be bound together in life and death. If she died, he would not be at peace either.

Signing the contract at this point would make it seem like she's taking advantage of the situation.

"it is good!"

Black Egg spoke slowly.

Xiao Yan chuckled lightly and didn't waste any words.

He made a cut in his palm, dripping a few drops of blood onto the black egg, and then used the blood to outline a mysterious rune.

He was muttering to himself.

"Please, Laozi..."

A buzzing sound rang out.

As if the clouds had parted in the sky, an old figure slowly emerged, glanced at the serious Xiao Yan with a hint of speechlessness, and said, "Sharing life and death, complementing each other in realm and cultivation."

"This life-or-death contract is acceptable!"

Having said that, he inscribed his name on the rune.

"Well……"

"What on earth is this thing?!"

Jiuyou's heart trembled as she felt the white-haired, white-bearded old man, who was like a god. Her throat bobbed, and she realized that even her father had never given her the slightest bit of that power.

It's like a god or Buddha standing between heaven and earth.

Words spoken are law.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you... This is my master."

Xiao Yan revealed a bright smile.

Jiuyou: "..."

Chapter 111 Crossing the Tribulation in the Nine Netherworlds, Transforming into Human Form (Fifth Update)

This person is actually your... teacher?

Even while still inside the black egg, Jiuyou couldn't contain himself any longer.

It seems they've really managed to curry favor with someone powerful?

Since the two have signed a life-and-death pact, this mysterious being would certainly not disregard his life and death. If he encounters any problems during his evolution, the being would naturally lend a helping hand.

“I don’t know your name yet,” Jiuyou said thoughtfully.

"I am Xiao Yan."

"His name contains two characters for 'fire,' no wonder he's so skilled with flames. Xiao Yan, Xiao Huo Huo... hehe."

Jiuyou spoke in a relaxed tone, with a hint of teasing.

She would not be so polite to anyone else.

However, the people on the other side were all extraordinary, and with that mysterious powerful figure backing them up, they would most likely be going to the Great Thousand World in the future. In addition, they had been trapped in this world for too long and were really bored, which is why it sounded somewhat playful.

"The Nine Nether Sparrow is also skilled in using fire, and your flames are immortal and eternal." Xiao Yan smiled, completely unconcerned about the other party's teasing.

On the contrary, she remembered that if she evolved into the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, her beast fire would be equally powerful.

but……

The intensity of the flame depends on the user.

There are no useless flames, only useless fire tamers.

In the original story, most of the moves he used after entering the Great Thousand World were learned in the Dou Qi Continent. Even his flames grew stronger with each challenge. After advancing to the Great Thousand World, the power of his flames was rarely matched by the native flames of other Great Thousand Worlds.

Just like the Fire Spirit Clan, known for their fire...

Therefore, he soon lost his expectations for the Nine Netherworld Flame. Its growth potential was average, and it was not bad as an ordinary strange flame.
