Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 175 Zi Yan

"Roar! The dragon emerges from the deep valley, its might resounding throughout the eight directions!"

On this morning, all the students in the back mountain of Canaan Academy heard a clear dragon's roar, like thunder, echoing continuously in the open mountain forest.

Some of the magical beasts in the back mountains felt a powerful, unprecedented aura descend upon them. Their eyes widened in terror, and their desolate roars instantly fell silent.

"This is... a dragon? There's a legendary dragon in the back mountain of Canaan Academy!!" A group of students were dealing with the corpse of a magical beast when they looked in the direction of the voice.

In the distance, on the horizon, stood a colossal golden creature with a long and agile body, its four claws thick and powerful, its toenails gleaming coldly.

Golden scales are arranged closely together, extending from large to small to the dragon's tail, with golden lightning arcs leaping on them, like a giant golden lightning whip.

As it swayed and moved, it stirred up gusts of wind, dispelling the surrounding clouds and mist. The space itself seemed to be distorted by this powerful force, adding to its majesty and mystery!

"Canaan Academy does indeed have a golden dragon, raised by the Lord of Zixiao, but it's said that it's only about a foot long, not this big?"

"Look! There's someone on the dragon's head... no... it's a dried-up corpse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of red and black eyes on the dragon's head glanced in their direction.

In an instant, everyone felt enveloped by an alternating chill and heat, the cold biting to the bone and the heat unbearable.

The silence was so profound that it vanished in an instant, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief while simultaneously glaring fiercely at their companion who had just spoken.

"My lord, someone has dared to disrespect you. Should I go and teach him a lesson?" The little golden dragon asked with a fawning smile, sensing Xiao Bai's actions.

Thinking of the five beams of light of different colors that had appeared in the valley just now, he couldn't help but shudder.

This guy is terrifying now. When that light touched him, he felt his very essence tremble and almost flew out of his body.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Bai glanced at his feet and shook his head. "Hurry up and get to the valley of the Snow Demon Ape!"

"Alright!" The little golden dragon flicked its tail and darted hundreds of meters away.

In an unnamed valley.

A small figure was sitting on a boulder, holding a golden fruit the size of an adult's fist in both hands and munching on it, with golden juice smeared on the corners of his mouth.

Its two short legs dangled in the air, swinging back and forth, looking quite leisurely.

"What are you looking at! Big guy, want a fight?"

With her large, dark eyes glancing at the white giant ape sitting at the cave entrance, staring intently at her, the small figure clenched her delicate fist and shook it.

"roar!"

The Snow Demon Ape roared furiously, its giant face contorted with rage. "This guy is too hateful! He's been guarding that spot the whole time, preventing it from leaving the cave entrance even a step!"

Although they had the upper hand in their fight, they were still unable to defeat the small figure, whose movements were simply too unpredictable.

They can't fight them, and they can't drive them away!

"So noisy!" the little figure complained, taking another bite of the fruit in her hand. She swallowed the juicy flesh whole, frowned slightly, and muttered under her breath, "It's awful!"

Just as the two figures, one large and one small, were staring at each other, a strange aura rapidly approached, instantly alerting the two figures in the valley.

Suddenly looking in the same direction, a golden dot of light appeared faintly in their vision. In the blink of an eye, a huge figure appeared in the sky above the small valley.

"My lord! We've arrived!" The little golden dragon looked down at the valley below, its gaze falling on the white giant ape, the same fifth-tier magical beast it had seen on its way to Thunderfall Valley.

"Huh? Why are there other people here? No, these aren't human!"

When the little golden dragon's gaze shifted slightly, landing on the small figure in the valley holding half a fruit, its pupils dilated for a moment before it murmured in astonishment:

"This aura...this aura...it feels like I've seen it somewhere before?"

The little golden dragon's face was a little distorted. The feeling was very familiar, but it just couldn't remember it, which made it very distressed for a moment.

Xiao Bai was also surprised to see the little girl in the small car. She was dressed in white, which looked a bit tattered. She was about eleven or twelve years old and had long, light purple hair that reached her waist.

A pair of big, dark, bright eyes blinked as she looked up at the sky. Her cheeks were extremely fair and delicate, like a piece of carved jade. She held a half-eaten golden fruit in her hands, with a little golden juice on the corner of her mouth, making her look quite adorable!

"Zi Yan!" Xiao Bai didn't expect to run into her here. When he saw the fruit in her hand, his lips twitched involuntarily.

"You have great teeth!"

This is a fifth-tier medicinal herb, the Golden Bodhi Fruit. It tastes sour and bitter, and its exterior is extremely hard. Even a fifth-tier alchemist as fierce as a flame would find it quite troublesome to process. I never expected this girl to eat it raw!

"Poor child! She has a father who stands at the top of the continent, whose status is no less than Xun'er's, yet she lives like this!"

Xiao Bai shook his head, stamped his foot, and said softly, "If you can't remember, don't think about it. Go downstairs!"

Seeing its conflicted expression, Xiao Bai had a guess in his mind: the little golden dragon has a dragon form and may have some connection with the ancient dragon of the void, which is not surprising.

"Alright!" The little golden dragon reluctantly put aside its doubts, and with a twist of its body, landed in the valley.

"roar!"

Looking at the dragon and the strangely shaped human in front of it, the Snow Demon Ape's expression was extremely tense, because it sensed a strong sense of danger from these two figures.

"Get out of the way!"

Xiao Bai could sense the incredibly dense earth-attribute energy in the cave behind the Snow Demon Ape, and the Earth Nether Lightning within its body was also constantly fluctuating, emitting bursts of thunderous sounds.

He couldn't help but feel excited; he knew that this place could definitely solve his current problem!

"roar!"

The Snow Demon Ape's fur stood on end, its eyes were bloodshot, and it stared intently at the human who was getting closer and closer. It let out a threatening roar, but its body did not move an inch.

"Hmm, do you want what's inside too?"

A clear, childlike voice rang out, and Xiao Bai turned his head to look at the dirty girl in white on the boulder.

At this moment, the fruit in her hand disappeared, her mouth slightly bulged, like a hamster stealing food, and she kept chewing, her big black eyes staring straight at Xiao Bai.

"Do you know what's inside?" In Xiao Bai's deep-set pupils, black and red light intertwined, flickering slightly as if he were smiling.

"I don't know!" The girl shook her head, swinging her legs as she said, "But I have a very good nose; I can smell the immense energy contained inside!"

"You want it!"

"Mmm. When I grow up, I want to eat lots and lots of things like this!" The girl nodded, gesturing with her two little hands and making a big circle in the air.

"I need what's inside!" Xiao Bai shook his head.

"This big guy has thick skin and tough flesh, it won't be easy to deal with. If you share a little bit of what's inside with me, I'll help you fight it, how about that?"

As she spoke, the girl gestured with her index finger and thumb to indicate a small point, her bright eyes looking at Xiao Bai expectantly, as if afraid he would look down on her for being too small and not believe in her abilities. She patted her small chest loudly and said:

"Don't worry! I'm very capable. With my help, this big guy is definitely dead!"

"Haha, the offer is very tempting, I don't seem to have any reason to refuse." Xiao Bai looked at the little girl who was trying so hard to persuade him, and laughed out loud at her earnest and cute appearance.

Just as the girl in white was overjoyed at his promise, she suddenly heard a sentence, and her face instantly fell.

"But I refuse!"

The little girl clenched her fists, her fair cheeks puffed up with anger, and her big, dark eyes glared fiercely at Xiao Bai, as if she really wanted to hit him, but there was also a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Don't you really want to hit me, but are afraid you can't beat me?"

Xiao Bai looked at the little girl in white who was so angry she looked like a little pufferfish, and couldn't help but tease her.

The little golden dragon stared speechlessly at its unscrupulous master, who had seemed so anxious just moments before but now had the leisure to tease the little girl whose aura was so familiar. Its enormous pupils rolled upwards.

"Ugh... Ugh! I'm so angry! I want to swallow this annoying giant skeleton whole!" The little girl's face darkened slightly, her eyes fixed on Xiao Bai, and she gritted her teeth inwardly.

"Hehe. Alright, little Ziyan, I'm just teasing you. If it were anything else, I wouldn't mind sharing some with you, but not this stuff. I have a use for it!"

Xiao Bai waved his hand and chuckled softly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"roar!"

Although the Snow Demon Ape could not speak human language, it was quite intelligent. Knowing that Xiao Bai was determined to get what it was guarding, it let out a thunderous roar, which caused the valley to tremble slightly and interrupted Zi Yan's words.

"I intended to spare your life, but unfortunately, you fail to recognize the situation!"

Xiao Bai looked at the white giant ape guarding the cave entrance, his tone gradually becoming solemn. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his right arm, softly calling out:

"Transform into a gun!"

Suddenly, as Zi Yan's mouth gaped slightly, the massive golden dragon beside her, whose aura was vaguely familiar to her, flashed with light and twisted with golden lightning, and a golden spear appeared in its hand.

Xiao Bai held the spear, waved it a few times, and nodded slightly.

Given my current poor condition, this is the only way I can quickly deal with this giant ape.

Although he had not yet mastered the Thunder Dragon Sky-Splitting Spear and was a bit rusty in using it, with the little golden dragon's support, dealing with the Snow Demon Sky Ape, which was comparable to a five-star Dou Wang, was no problem at all!

"Let's fight!"

Xiao Bai shouted sharply, and the tip of his spear, flashing with cold light, pointed directly at the Snow Demon Ape.

"Roar! (This is outrageous!)"

The white giant ape let out a long roar, its murderous cry echoing across the sky. Its claws were instantly covered with a layer of frost, and its two beastly claws, like a dark cloud covering the sun, fiercely tore through the air and smashed down towards Xiao Bai.

Ignoring the violent aura, Xiao Bai held the gun in one hand, gave it a slight shake, and golden lightning arcs flashed on the tip of the gun, turning into two cold stars that struck the giant claw that was pressing down on his head like Mount Tai.

As the golden, cold light pierced out, it transformed into two enormous, ferocious golden dragon heads, which viciously bit at the giant ape's claws.

boom!

*Screech...*

"roar!"

After a deafening roar that shook the valley, there were two faint sounds, as if something had been pierced.

Then the Snow Demon Ape let out an angry and painful roar, and its massive body retreated several steps at high speed.

"So amazing!" Zi Yan looked down at the Snow Demon Sky Ape that was constantly letting out painful roars, her mouth slightly open.

She had experienced the power of the giant ape's claws yesterday; they had collided with her fists for a long time without causing any damage. She never expected that the golden dragon, which had transformed into a spear, would so easily pierce through her, leaving two bloody wounds.

Through the large hole in the wound, one could already see the Snow Demon Ape's grotesque, contorted face in pain.

Seeing that the cave entrance had been cleared, Xiao Bai shook his spear. The spear was still smooth and unstained by any blood.

He stepped out and walked towards the dark cave entrance.

"roar!"

"Watch out! It's going berserk!"

A furious roar and a clear, childlike voice mingled together.

Xiao Bai suddenly turned around, and a very blurry red light flashed towards him.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Demon Ape not only did not run away, but also continued to attack, its eyes shining brightly.

"court death!"

Yellow-gray lightning crackled around his body, all of it surging into the golden spear in his hand. In an instant, golden light shone brightly on the spear, and as the spear tip trembled, space itself began to distort slightly.

"go!"

With a soft shout, the spear in his hand transformed into a golden streak of light, heading straight for the blurry figure.

"boom!"

Xiao Bai glanced indifferently at the dust-filled mountain valley walls, then turned and walked into the cave.

"Stand guard the cave entrance; no one is allowed to enter!"

"receive!"

"That's it!"

Zi Yan held a green fruit with two faint teeth marks on it, blinked, and looked at the stone wall where the dust was gradually settling.

Two ravines, each about ten meters wide, appeared in the valley. Judging from their appearance, they must have been created by the feet of the Snow Demon Ape.

On the cliff face, a giant ape with blood-red hair, four or five zhang tall, with a ferocious mouth and a golden spear stuck between its eyebrows, was nailed to the cliff. Its eyes were wide open in anger, and the red light in them slowly dissipated, leaving a faint trace of disbelief.

"The old man was right, it's so scary outside!" She used to be a little dismissive of his rule that she wasn't allowed to leave the inner courtyard; after all, she'd been out in the world before. But now...

This Snow Demon Ape was one she couldn't even defeat, yet it was now pinned to death by a single spear. If she were facing that spear in her place, recalling the familiar fluctuations that had emanated from the spear tip earlier, Zi Yan couldn't help but shudder.

Her tried-and-true talent will definitely not work either!

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of golden light, only a bloody hole with golden lightning arcs remained on the giant ape's forehead. The spear stuck in it disappeared, and it transformed back into a colossal creature.

"W-What are you going to do?" Zi Yan looked at the ferocious dragon head approaching her face, her small hand trembled, almost dropping the fruit. She swallowed hard and said, "Don't do anything rash... I'll call the old man!"

"Old man? Who is that?" The little golden dragon carefully sensed the little girl's aura and said casually.

There are very few old men in Canaan Academy that it can be wary of!

"Su Qian!"

"Damn it!" The little golden dragon almost jumped up, glancing around nervously. It had swallowed the nameless black lightning ball in Thunderfall Valley. If that old man found out, who knows what he would do!

"Haha, you should have said so earlier! We're family, so there's no need for the Elder to run around like this!" The little golden dragon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one around. He scratched his head with his claws and gave an embarrassed smile.
