Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

One year later,

The Tournament of Strongest Warriors, jointly hosted by the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire, will be held at the border between the two countries. However, do not assume that the participants in the Tournament are limited to those from the two empires.

The Tournament of the Strongest is a grand event among the many empires of the Northwest Continent. Not only the host empire, but also other empires and forces will come to watch.

Being able to stand out in the Tournament of Strongest People will bring you some fame throughout the Northwest Continent.

Both the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire have made ample preparations and are old rivals.

The leading figures on the Jia Ma Empire's side are: Emperor Jia Xingtian of Jia Ma, Sect Master Yun Shan of Yunlan Sect, President Wang Ming of the Alchemist Guild, and Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

The leading figures of the Izumo Empire are: Scorpion Biyan of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, the Emperor of Izumo, Wuya of the Centipede Heaven Palace, Fu Hai, the president of the Izumo Alchemist Guild, the Evil Poison Twin Brothers, the Poison Toad Old Man, and the Silver Snake Old Ghost.

At first glance, it seems that the Chuyun Empire has more Douhuang powerhouses than the Jiama Empire. However, the Chuyun Empire has more sects, while the Jiama Empire only has the Yunlan Sect, which is famous. The Chuyun Empire has many famous sects.

The Jia Ma Empire has a Dou Huang powerhouse, as well as Yun Ji, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect. On the royal side, there is also a sixth-tier guardian beast, the Youhai Jiao Beast (Jingtao Dragon Beast).

Although the Chuyun Empire has many powerful individuals, only Xie Biyan has reached the high-level Dou Huang rank. On the other hand, the Jiama Empire has Jia Xingtian, Yunshan, and Wang Ming, all of whom are high-level Dou Huangs.

Although the number of Dou Huang in the Jia Ma Empire has decreased, the number of top-tier Dou Huang experts is greater than that in the Chu Yun Empire. In comparison, the two empires are actually quite evenly matched.

"Izumo Poison Master, tsk, that inhuman, ghostly appearance is comparable to the Soul Hall," Xiao Li complained, the Izumo Poison Master's appearance was really not good.

After a year of cultivation, Xiao Li's cultivation level has reached the nine-star Dou Wang level, and he is now working towards breaking through to Dou Huang.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lin, who was beside him, had reached the fifth-star Dou Wang level with the support of Xiao Li's pills. Such rapid progress at the Dou Wang stage was thanks to his younger brother, a sixth-grade alchemist.

"Old ghost Jia Xingtian, I didn't expect you to still be around? Why are you still occupying that emperor's position and not making room for your descendants?"

The Emperor of Izumo spoke first, mockingly. Before the two armies clashed, he launched into a few witty remarks.

Jia Xingtian frowned and said, "Unlike you, I still have a long life ahead of me! You, on the other hand, are practically half-buried. I'm in a good mood today, so I might as well see you off."

"Ah, then let's go!"

Emperor Izumo made the first move, unleashing a terrifyingly dense poisonous battle aura. Jia Xingtian also attacked, using earth-attribute battle aura that condensed into an earth-yellow divine bird that charged towards Emperor Izumo.

"Heh heh, since the fight has begun, I won't stand idly by. Who dares to challenge me?"

The old ghost, Silver Serpent, stepped forward. He leaned on a silver cane, his back hunched, and he looked no different from an ordinary old man. However, the powerful figures present felt that he was not a person, but a venomous snake poised to strike.

"Let this old man play with you!"

A middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe stepped out from the Gama Empire.

"Ice Emperor!"

This is the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the top ten strongest figures in the Jia Ma Empire. He is aloof and arrogant, and once fought a decisive battle with the Yunshan Sect Master at the summit of Yunlan Mountain.

The Ice Emperor emerged, his hands clasped behind his back, emanating a dense aura of ice.

"Ice Emperor? Heh heh heh, let me see just how strong you really are. Ten Thousand Serpents' Invasion!"

Silver Serpent Old Ghost released countless purple venomous snakes that attacked Hai Bodong.

"Still so flashy." Hai Bodong gathered icy battle qi in his right hand, and ice crystals appeared in the air of this desolate place, and the surrounding temperature dropped accordingly.

"Mystic Ice Dragon Soars!"

Roar--

Hai Bodong used his icy battle qi to condense two giant ice dragons, which then attacked the countless poisonous snakes.

"Tsk, Old Man Bing's strength has improved again. Even I might not be able to defeat him." Old Wang sighed. He sensed that Hai Bodong's current cultivation level was probably a five-star Dou Huang, but the power of his icy Dou Qi was astonishing.

"No wonder you seem so refreshed, starting with two ice dragons. But you won't be laughing after you encounter the snake."

Xiao Li observed the battle in the sky. The battle between Jia Xingtian and the Emperor of Chuyun was not very interesting, but the battle between Hai Bodong was very interesting. The two ice dragons had already dispersed the silver snake's venom.

On the Izumo Emperor's side, the president of the Izumo Alchemist Guild began to spread rumors.

Do you know who's on this mission?

"I know, it's Wang Ming, the president of the Gama Alchemist Guild!"

That's right, the Izumo Empire is plotting a grand conspiracy; they want to eliminate Elder Wang first! Why? Elder Wang's alchemy skills are extremely strong; he can cure most of the poisons in the Izumo Empire.

Moreover, they were afraid because, according to the information they had gathered, Wang Ming was a sixth-grade alchemist capable of refining the Imperial Extreme Pill, something the president of the Izumo Alchemist Guild could not do.

They feared that Wang Ming would be the first to refine the Breakthrough Pill, allowing their archenemies, the Jia Ma Empire, to reach the Dou Zong level before them.

Therefore, the Izumo Empire's mission objective this time is to kill Elder Wang and nip this possibility in the bud! To this end, they are even prepared to sacrifice two Dou Huang powerhouses!

"Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!"

"Ugh!"

In the sky, Hai Bodong and Silver Snake Old Ghost have decided the winner. Silver Snake Old Ghost fought Hai Bodong one-on-one and was defeated!

"Silver Serpent, I'm here to help you!"

Another Dou Huang powerhouse has appeared in the Izumo Empire. He actually joined forces with Silver Serpent Old Ghost to attack Hai Bodong at the same time.

"Another one? What difference does it make whether it's one or two?"

Hai Bo flew eastward in the sky, flicked his right hand, and an ice-blue spear appeared in his hand. He had just finished warming up after fighting with the Silver Serpent Old Ghost when the Silver Serpent Old Ghost could no longer hold on.

"Hai Bodong, don't be so arrogant!" Silver Serpent Old Ghost roared angrily. He was already extremely angry after being defeated by Hai Bodong, and now that his side had a helper, Hai Bodong was still spouting nonsense!

"Am I arrogant? No, I merely wish to make you hear the lament of fate! Mystic Ice Dragon Soars!"

The icy spear in Hai Bodong's hand could dissipate at any moment, and three icy blue halos would condense on his right hand. In just a short while, snow began to fall in this desolate place.

"It's snowing?" The powerful figures from both countries saw the snowflakes.

Roar--

Five ice-blue dragons materialized behind Hai Bodong, roaring at the two Dou Huang of the Chuyun Empire!

"Arrogant!"

Silver Serpent Old Ghost and that Dou Huang simultaneously unleashed their strongest fighting techniques, purple poisonous fighting energy attacking Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong snapped his fingers: "Go!"

The five ice dragons charged straight ahead.

Boom—

The blue and purple hues in the sky were exceptionally vivid. The icy and poisonous battle qi raged, causing the dark clouds to be pierced through by these two powerful battle qi in the next moment, and the sky became clear and blue again.

"My God, the Ice Emperor is truly amazing! He single-handedly fought two Dou Huang from the Izumo Empire and held his own!"

"What?! Ebi is clearly winning!"

Within the Mittel family's camp, a middle-aged man watched Hai Bodong's heroic figure in the sky with utmost seriousness.

"Elder Hai, the Mittel family exists only because of you!"

The person who spoke was named Mittel Tengshan. He was quite strong, already a Dou Ling expert, but in this kind of battle, he could only act as a spectator.
