Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 228 The Imperial City in Danger!

The Flame Clan, outside the Flame Realm.

This area, spanning thousands of miles, belongs to the Yan Clan. A scorching heat permeates the space, and dense fire-attribute energy continuously surges forth from the ground.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared in the void, and a group of powerful figures poured out of it.

The leader was a voluptuous and beautiful woman dressed in a red robe, who exuded a terrifying aura.

Behind this beautiful woman stood two young members of the Yan Clan, Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi, two old acquaintances of Jiahe!

"Elder Huo Ling, shall we go directly to the Central Plains Imperial Prison?" Huo Xuan asked the beautiful woman in front of him.

The beautiful woman glared at Huo Xuan with her almond-shaped eyes and said, "When we're out in public, call me Fairy Huo Ling, understand?"

Huo Xuan looked at Fairy Huo Ling with some helplessness, but since Fairy Huo Ling's watery eyes were fixed on him, he had no choice but to change his words and say, "Yes, Fairy Huo Ling!"

Fire Spirit Fairy smiled and said, "No rush. The clan leader said the warden of the Imperial Prison isn't here, so we can wander around outside for a bit longer!"

"But wouldn't that be a bit disrespectful?" Fire Child asked from the side.

Fire Cloud Fairy reached out her jade hand and gently pinched Fire Child's pretty face, saying, "Of course not! We didn't make an appointment with the people from the Imperial Prison. We've finally come out, so you all have to keep me company and have some fun!"

"I'm so bored cultivating in the clan all day long. And the Flame Realm is so hot, it's made my skin look terrible!"

Hearing the slightly complaining voice of Fairy Huoyun, Huoxuan and Huozhi could only exchange a helpless glance!

"Come on, accompany me to Saint Pill City for a stroll!" Fairy Fire Cloud happily flew towards Saint Pill City.

Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi, along with a group of Yan Clan elders, hurriedly followed.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come!" Huo Xuan's regretful voice drifted slowly through the void.

Saint Dan City!

A year later, Gahe reappeared in the city. With the end of that year's Pill Gathering, Saint Pill City became increasingly favored by alchemists.

Especially now that the Pill Tower has taken action against the Soul Palace, countless alchemists who were scattered elsewhere have come to seek refuge with the Pill Tower.

In the hearts of these rogue alchemists, the Pill Tower is perhaps the true holy land!

As for the Medicine Clan, who practiced medicine in isolation, they were no longer respected by alchemists.

As Gahe walked through the city of Saint Dan, the aroma of medicine wafted from the pharmacies on both sides of the street.

In the crowd, Jiahe suddenly saw two familiar faces, and with a slight movement of his feet, he came to stand in front of them.

"Huo Xuan, Huo Zhi, what are you doing here?" Jia He asked the two of them.

Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi were pleasantly surprised to see Jia He suddenly appear in front of them.

"You've emerged from seclusion? I didn't expect to run into you in Saint Pill City!" Huo Xuan said.

Gah said, "I just came back from the Thunder Clan and I'm planning to take a stroll around Saint Pill City and visit the Pill Tower while I'm at it."

"Who is this?" Fairy Fire Spirit asked with some confusion as she watched Huo Xuan and Jia He talking.

Huo Zhi whispered in the Fire Spirit Fairy's ear, "This is Jia He, the warden of the Imperial Prison!"

The Fire Spirit Fairy's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Jiahe: "So young?"

Gah looked at the Fire Spirit Fairy and said, "This must be the Fire Spirit Fairy of the Flame Clan, right?"

"You know me?" Fire Spirit Fairy's heart stirred, somewhat surprised.

Gah smiled and said, "I've heard of the fairy's name."

The Fire Spirit Fairy chuckled and said, "You're no match for the Prison Lord. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! I never imagined that someone so young could lead the Imperial Prison to annihilate the entire Soul Palace!"

Jiahe said, "Fairy, please don't misunderstand. It was the Soul Palace that made the first move. Moreover, over the years, the Soul Palace has been targeting the Pill Tower and many other powerful figures across the continent, which has earned them widespread wrath!"

"What business do you have here this time? Are you here to seek pills from the Dan Tower?" Jiahe asked with some curiosity.

Fire Spirit Fairy laughed, "Coming to Saint Pill City was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Since we've encountered the Prison Lord here, let's be frank: we're heading to the Imperial Prison!"

"To the Imperial Prison?" Gahe was slightly taken aback.

Huo Zhi said with a hint of resentment, "Have you forgotten what you promised me at the Heavenly Tomb?"

Now that you mention it, Jiahe remembered that he had promised to visit the Yan Clan and persuade them to take action against the Soul Clan.

"It was my fault for forgetting that, but now that you've all come out, you must represent the attitude of the entire Yan Clan, right?" Jiahe asked.

Fire Spirit Fairy nodded slightly and said, "You could say that when the clan leader left the Flame Clan, he appointed us as the representatives of the Flame Clan."

After a moment of contemplation, Jiahe said, "In that case, everyone, please come with me to the Little Dan Tower for a chat."

Fire Spirit Fairy and the others didn't say much, and followed behind Jiahe towards the Pill Tower.

Gahe held a very high position in the Dan Tower, especially for his superb alchemy skills, which were highly praised by the alchemists of the Dan Tower.

Upon entering the Pill Tower, many elders of the Pill Tower came out to greet us.

This scene surprised Fairy Fire Spirit.

Fire Spirit Fairy whispered in Fire Child's ear, "Is he also an alchemist?"

Huo Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, and I heard he's a ninth-grade alchemist, very powerful!"

The Fire Spirit Fairy glanced at Huo Zhi teasingly and said, "So outstanding! Has our Flame Clan's little princess even the slightest bit been tempted?"

A blush immediately rose on Huo Zhi's pretty face. She glanced shyly at Fairy Huo Ling and said, "He has partners, and more than one!"

"What's the big deal? We cultivators shouldn't value these things the most. If you don't seize this opportunity with someone so talented, you'll regret it later!" said Fairy Fire Spirit.

Then the Fire Spirit Fairy added, "Or to put it another way, do you really think you'd be interested in those who are inferior to you?"

Upon hearing Fairy Fire Spirit's words, Fire Child quickly shook her head and said, "No way, I won't settle!"

"That's right! Such a young Dou Sheng, and even a ninth-grade alchemist—such talent is highly sought after throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent. You shouldn't miss out!"

Immediately, Fairy Fire Spirit sighed softly and said, "If he were my age, I would definitely pounce on him without hesitation, not caring about anything else, I would just eat him first."

Fire Spirit Fairy's bold words made Fire Child blush, but also filled him with longing and imagination.

Huo Zhi's gaze involuntarily fell upon Jia He in front of her, her eyes filled with even more shyness!

Seeing Huo Zhi's state, Fairy Huo Ling shook her head and sighed helplessly. She couldn't help him, she really couldn't help him!

Before long, Gahe met the three giants of Danta.

"Elder Huo Ling!" Xuan Kongzi and the other two were somewhat surprised to see the Yan Clan.

Fire Spirit Fairy smiled slightly and said, "Next time, it's best to call me Fire Spirit Fairy."

Xuan Kongzi's lips curled up. He had seen this woman before, but she rarely appeared on the mainland and was not recognized by ordinary people.

"Is the Ancestor of the Pill Tower still in the Little Pill Tower?" Jiahe changed the subject at the right moment and asked Xuan Kongzi.

Xuan Kongzi said, "The Ancestor is currently in the Little Pill Tower. Do you wish to see the Ancestor?"

Jiahe nodded slightly and said, "I came here this time specifically to see the Ancestor!"

"I'll take you to see the Ancestor now!" Xuan Kongzi said.

Then they saw Xuan Kongzi open a spatial wormhole leading to the Small Pill Tower. The three giants, along with Jiahe, Fire Spirit Fairy, and Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan, entered, while the remaining Yan Clan experts stayed in the Pill Tower.

A moment later, the group arrived at a towering green peak, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist.

The Fire Spirit Fairy exclaimed, "I've long heard that there are smaller pill towers inside the Pill Tower, but this is my first time visiting one in all these years. The herbs here are indeed much better than those sold in the herbal medicine shops outside!"

The rich aroma of herbs invigorated everyone.

There are countless medicinal herb gardens here, where many rare medicinal herbs grow, and many elderly farmers work among them.

These old farmers are no ordinary people; they are at least eighth-grade alchemists.

In the main hall of the Little Pill Tower, Jiahe and his group soon met the Pill Tower Ancestor and several elders of the Little Pill Tower.

"We meet again!" said Ancestor Danta, looking at Gahe.

Immediately, the Pill Tower Ancestor looked at the Fire Spirit Fairy standing to the side and said, "I didn't expect the Fire Spirit Fairy to come to the Pill Tower as well."

The Fire Spirit Fairy smiled faintly and said, "I just came to see you, old monster. I heard the demonic flames are acting strangely?"

"Does the fairy also wish to subdue the demonic flame?" Ancestor Danta asked with a faint smile.

The Fire Spirit Fairy pouted and said, "No way! The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is not something we can subdue. This fairy wants to live a few more days!"

"As long as the demonic fire doesn't fall into the hands of the Soul Clan, everything will be fine," said the Ancestor of the Pill Tower.

Jiahe said, "The Soul Clan has probably already swallowed up the Stone Spirit Clan. The destruction of the Soul Palace is at most a stab in the back, drawing some blood. To truly cripple the Soul Clan, we'll probably need to wipe out all of their elders!"

"I think the Soul Clan is already preparing to attack the Imperial Prison, so I'm going to strike first!" Jiahe said with a murderous intent in his voice.

The Old Ancestor of Danta looked at Jiahe and asked, "You want to wage war against the Soul Clan?"

"No matter how strong the Soul Clan is, they are no match for us united. The Ancient Clan can join, and the Thunder Clan can agree. As for the Medicine Clan and the Flame Clan, the Flame Clan can decide. As for the Medicine Clan, they can come if they want, or they can leave if they don't!" Jiahe said.

The Ancestor of the Pill Tower said, "If the ancient races can join, then the scales will already be tipped in our favor. If the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan also agree, I think even the Soul Clan won't be able to resist!"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Gahe's body.

Everyone present felt an overwhelming pressure and murderous aura.

Suddenly, Gahe's figure vanished from this space.

After Jiahe disappeared, the Fire Spirit Fairy and the Pill Tower Ancestor exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, "Something's happened!"

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Prison and the Imperial City.

Above the void, a void rift appeared, and black figures exuding a chilling aura burst forth from the rift.

The leader was none other than Hun Shengtian of the Soul Clan, and behind him followed several figures shrouded in black aura, emanating terrifying energy fluctuations.

The moment these people appeared, everyone in the imperial city also noticed this scene in the void.

The women still in the imperial city saw the chilling aura in the sky, especially Yun Yun, who immediately exclaimed, "People of the Soul Clan!"

Ya Fei said, "These people coming here at this time probably don't have good intentions!"

"Tell the little guy to come back; these people are beyond our capabilities!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly, then crushed a stone bearing the soul imprint of Jiahe.

Jiahe, far away in the Little Pill Tower, also directly felt the shattering of the soul imprint and knew that something life or death must have happened in the Imperial City, otherwise Little Fairy Doctor and the others would not have crushed the soul stone!

"Pass down the order: martial law throughout the city!" Little Fairy Doctor shouted in a solemn voice.

Within the imperial city, countless figures instantly flew out. With each energy fluctuation, a circular ripple suddenly rose outside the entire imperial city, inscribed with intricate patterns and radiating terrifying energy fluctuations!

Above the void, Hun Shengtian looked at the circular light screen that suddenly rose above the imperial city and said disdainfully, "Some amateurish tricks, daring to show off in front of this old man?"

After saying that, a faint black aura spread out from Hun Shengtian's palm, and an eerie, chilling aura condensed in his palm before he slammed it down on the imperial city below.

boom!

In an instant, the black handprint slammed towards the light screen, and with a loud bang, the light screen trembled violently!

Within the imperial city, countless eyes watched this scene, all praying that the light barrier would not collapse.

As the overwhelming black mist gradually dissipated, the light barrier remained intact, and cheers erupted throughout the imperial city.

This is the defensive measure left behind in the Imperial City by Jiahe when he left. The array he inscribed is enough to withstand three full-force attacks from an eight-star peak Dou Sheng.

Seeing that the light barrier had not collapsed under his attack, Hun Shengtian's face immediately darkened.

"Useless trash, let's make our move and finish this quickly!" Hun Yuantian behind him conjured a series of strange hand seals.

With an eerie aura of death, it surged continuously from his palm, instantly transforming into a massive black door filled with the smell of decay.

"The Gate of Deathly Silence!"

Behind Hun Yuantian, there were three more figures filled with the aura of death, and four deathly gates appeared simultaneously.

Rumble!

Four enormous, deathly gates stood in the four directions, and then, led by four Battle Saints, they unleashed an extremely powerful devouring force.

hum!

Within the imperial city, everyone felt a terrifying and eerie aura lingering around them.

Many powerful figures in the Imperial Prison discovered that under this terrifying devouring power, the life force within their bodies was gradually draining away!

The formation above the imperial city remained unchanged, but the many powerful figures who controlled it suffered severe injuries, causing the formation's light screen to dim.

Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed. "If this continues, even if we don't get out, we'll die in this imperial city. Then the formation will break on its own!"

Yun Yun's expression was also extremely unpleasant. Even a six-star Dou Sheng expert was helpless against the methods of the Gate of Deathly Silence!

At the critical moment, a black bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky.

"The Soul Clan members are truly courting death!"

A calm voice came from behind.

The murderous intent contained within sent chills down the spines of Hun Shengtian and the other three!

Especially the four from Hunyuantian, who had all died once thousands of years ago, must have had a terrible experience!
