Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 510 Taking the Initiative

Zi Yan said in a deep voice, "Since it is Young Master Yan's order, Zi Yan is just following orders. If you want to be grateful, be grateful to Young Master Yan."

Everyone turned to look at Xiao Yan. Although it wasn't the first time they had met, this terrifyingly powerful young man still gave them an immense sense of pressure.

Xiao Yan said, "When the divine weapon was completed this time, several people who had never appeared in the Black Corner Region appeared. I plan to go and find out more about them."

After taking a deep look at Xiao Yan, Yao Lao gasped, his expression changing several times.

"Your strength has actually reached the level of a five-star Dou Zun!"

He remembered that when he met Xiao Yan a few days ago, Xiao Yan had just broken through to the Dou Zun level.

Once you reach the Dou Zun level, it becomes countless times more difficult to break through again.

Countless Dou Zun powerhouses were trapped and killed at the same star level.

Those who were initially stuck at the Douhuang or Douzong level still had a relatively clear path to break through.

The Imperial Extreme Pill and the Breakthrough Pill are both excellent pills for aiding in breakthroughs.

However, once you reach the Dou Zun realm, obtaining pills to increase your strength is extremely difficult.

At such a speed of breaking through one star level per day, if it were a few more days, if it were said that Xiao Yan had broken through to become a Dou Sheng, even Yao Lao would probably believe it.

"He broke through again?!" The two elders, Qianbai and Qian, who had been struggling to reach the Dou Zun realm, stared at Xiao Yan with eyes wide as if they were looking at some rare treasure.

They had been stuck at this level for many years, and it was uncertain whether they could break through in the rest of their lives. This young man, however, broke through the Dou Zun level in just a few days.

It is said that the further one progresses in cultivation, the harder it is to break through. Could it be that this is the complete opposite for Xiao Yan, this young man?

Is it true that Xiao Yan's cultivation becomes easier as time goes on?

Xiao Yan said calmly, "I think it would be better to discuss those powerful individuals who inexplicably arrived in the Black Corner Region."

"Do you know which region's power it is?" Elder Yao asked, getting straight to the point.

Xiao Yan replied, "Lion Nether Sect."

"It was them." Yao Lao had traveled the Dou Qi Continent before and had heard of this force.

The Northwest Continent is not as powerful as the Central Plains, where there are countless strong individuals. Although there are numerous sects and empires, they are always in a state of conflict.

Although some powerful forces wanted to unify the country, they were unable to achieve it.

Moreover, the so-called "not weak force" would only be considered a first-rate force in the Central Plains.

In truth, it's not stronger than a force like the Four Directions Pavilion, so it doesn't pay much attention to those local forces and powerful figures in the Central Plains.

The Lion Nether Sect ranks among the top ten in the Northwest Continent, but it is not invincible. This time, it dared to set out again, and even went directly to the chaotic Black Corner Region...

It seems they have a close relationship with the Soul Palace!

A glint of light flashed in Yao Lao's eyes. In the Central Plains, some forces and powerful figures would not even look at the Black Corner Region.

The only thing that could send the Lion Nether Sect here is that haunting Soul Palace.

Xiao Yan said, "Judging from their actions, they seem to be making a big fuss. I'm going to go and gather some information."

After a moment of contemplation, Yao Lao said, "With Medusa's help, the space wormhole with the Gama Empire has been constructed. I will now set off for the Starfall Pavilion."

"In front of the Starfall Pavilion, these petty scoundrels are nothing but farts," Yao Lao said proudly. "Moreover, the Starfall Pavilion has many spies, and their information gathering capabilities far surpass those of yours alone."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly; Yao Lao could be quite interesting to say at times.

The Starfall Pavilion is practically nothing compared to the Lion Nether Sect now.

Clearing his throat, Xiao Yan said, "It would be wonderful if Teacher could return to Zhongzhou now and contact the Starfall Pavilion. First of all, constructing the wormhole requires a lot of manpower."

Elder Su Qian said, "We can't control what happens above, but we will unite everyone to complete the buildings that promote cultivation as soon as possible."

After reaching a conclusion, Xiao Yan left Zi Yan behind and split up with Yao Lao to carry out their respective tasks.

Yao Lao was heading to the Starfall Pavilion in Zhongzhou, while Xiao Yan was going to a place called Tianzangjian in the Tianxin Empire, which was located near the junction of the continent's center and the northwest region.

It had been a long time since Xiao Yan first heard about this place from Protector Tie, and Ya Fei had already prepared a map for him.

Flying at full speed, Xiao Yan's speed reached a terrifying level due to his increased strength.

The Lion Nether Sect has a large number of people, and the Northwest region is extremely large, so he can't search every place one by one. He can only start with the locations of the Soul Hall branch halls that he knows.

The Heavenly Burial Ravine, a bizarre place forgotten by the Heavenly Heart Empire in the dark abyss, is a name that is enough to send chills down one's spine, as if it foreshadows the cruelest secret and end of the world.

Here, there is no light in any season, and dark clouds never disperse, obscuring the last ray of light in the sky and shrouding the whole world in deathly silence and cold.

The valley is deep and the cliffs on both sides are sheer and pierce the sky, like two huge stone gates separating the human world from the underworld.

At the bottom of the valley, mist swirled, and from time to time came eerie low moans and wails. The sounds came from near and far, like the souls of the dead searching for their way home, or like evil spirits whispering in the darkness, inspiring fear and making people dare not linger.

All around, withered trees stood, their branches twisted and gnarled, as if forcibly broken by an unseen hand, or perhaps having witnessed too many unspeakable horrors to manifest such a despairing state. The ground was covered with a thick layer of moss and fallen leaves; each step was accompanied by a dull thud, as if stepping into another world.

Occasionally, a gust of cold wind blows by, causing withered branches and fallen leaves to swirl and dance. The mournful sound of the wind seems to penetrate one's soul, making one tremble involuntarily.

Even more so, rumors say that at night, ghostly figures can be seen moving through the Sky Burial Ravine, sometimes weeping, sometimes laughing wildly, blending into the eerie environment and creating a chilling scene.

Here, time seems to lose its meaning, the boundary between day and night becomes blurred, and only endless darkness and cold, and the omnipresent fear, remind every living being who steps into this place—the Heavenly Burial Ravine is the boundary between life and death, the eternal resting place of the soul, and the most untouchable forbidden place of the Heavenly Heart Empire.

At this moment, in the Soul Palace of the Heavenly Burial Ravine, more than a dozen Soul Venerable experts stood in formation, led by the Sect Master of the Lion Nether Sect.

While Xiao Yan was on his mission, Elder Mu Gu, who was acting alone, deduced from the fact that the people in the Black Corner Region were still alive that something had happened to the Lion Nether Sect's experts. He then reported the news to his branch hall, which was also a major base for this Soul Hall's major operation.
