Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 112 Dream

As he spoke, his face became increasingly ferocious.

"You've never experienced the feeling of your end approaching. Only when your life is hanging by a thread, and you're getting closer and closer to death, can you understand how helpless and insignificant you are."

"In the face of life and death, face and integrity are no longer important. When your life is gone, everything will be empty."

By the end, Yunshan was almost growling.

After a moment, his expression calmed down, and he looked at Yun Yun gently but firmly, saying, "Xiao Yan is someone I must win over. If I miss this opportunity, I may never encounter him again."

"I know it's hard for you to accept this outcome right now. I'll give you time to think it over, but don't keep me waiting too long..."

Yun Yun said nothing more and left the main hall with a sad expression.

The gentle evening breeze made her white dress flutter and her black hair dance. Yun Yun gazed at the half-moon hanging in the air, her eyes as calm as water.

……

This is a vast and boundless world, far larger than the Dou Qi Continent, and countless other worlds.

The setting sun was like blood, illuminating the world in a crimson light. Xiao Yan looked down and realized that the world was originally crimson.

The land was littered with corpses, including humans, monsters, and other strange creatures. Blood stained the earth crimson, and even the seawater had a faint blood-red hue.

Xiao Yan looked up and saw towering figures, some standing and some lying on the ground, each tens of thousands of feet tall.

The body closest to him was Xiao Xuan's true form as a Dou Di. At this moment, the strongest person on the continent had cracked skin and was covered in blood.

"Xiao Yan...live on." A weak voice came from Xiao Xuan's mouth, and then Xiao Yan saw his eyes gradually dim.

"What happened?" Xiao Yan looked completely bewildered.

"Brother Yan, you must live on, you are our last hope..." A familiar voice came, and Xiao Yan saw Shi Hao again. At this moment, he was no longer chubby and cute, but had grown into a handsome young man.

However, his face bore a peculiar air of weariness.

After saying this, he resolutely turned around and walked into the distance.

"Boom!" The boundless black mist spread across the sky, seemingly enveloping the entire world. Countless blood-red eyes stared at Xiao Yan and Shi Hao through the black mist.

"Come back..." Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

"Brother Yan, I have truly become the invincible powerhouse you spoke of."

Shi Hao turned around and smiled slightly at Xiao Yan. Then, a dazzling light burst forth from his body, and a gigantic Dharma body, 100,000 feet tall, appeared between heaven and earth.

"I was born to fulfill a destiny, and naturally I will die to fulfill a calamity!"

As Shi Hao spoke, he unleashed a terrifying power that made the heavens and earth tremble.

"Boom!" Endless light covered the sky and the earth, also obscuring Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Holy crap!" Xiao Yan sat up abruptly from the bed, a look of panic on his face.

"What's wrong?" A jade-like arm gently wrapped around her waist, and Ya Fei sat up close to him and whispered.

"It's nothing, just a dream." Feeling the softness behind him, Xiao Yan calmed down a little.

I haven't dreamed for a long time since I reached the Dou Wang level when I was twelve years old. I never expected to fall asleep so suddenly tonight and have such a bizarre dream.

But how could someone at Xiao Yan's level have nightmares for no reason? Besides, these dreams were unusually realistic.

"Could such a thing really happen in the future?"

For some reason, Xiao Yan felt inexplicably nervous. Perhaps it was because he had been living too smoothly and comfortably all these years, and deep down he always had a sense of unease.

For some reason, Xiao Yan thought of the strange pollution sealed by the Yin Yang Evil Saint, and also of the red hair all over his body.

"This power doesn't seem to belong to the Dou Qi Continent. Could it be...?"

Xiao Yan looked up at the ceiling. If everything was set up that way, then there must be an even larger world on the Dou Qi Continent.

If that's the case, then the so-called extraterrestrial evil races should also exist. This explanation would clarify the evil power that Yin Yang Evil Saint saw that caused the Dou Di to fall.

But what's with that red fur? And what about that chubby little Shi Hao? I only took care of him because his name was funny, but now he has this kind of dream.

Could it be that he was truly born to face a calamity?

Rubbing his temples, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a long-lost sense of crisis.

Inside the palace, Yao Ye looked at the little boy in front of her with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Are you sure this is Xiao Yan's disciple?"

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. The maid beside her is the former personal maid of Consort Ya, whose name is Xiao Cui."

"Okay." Yao Ye gently rubbed her forehead.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"Hun Xin..." Hun Xin mumbled incoherently, his mouth stuffed with meat.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Looking at the child's appearance, Yao Ye didn't quite understand why Xiao Yan wanted to take this child as a disciple.

There was no fluctuation of fighting spirit, and his mind didn't seem very sharp. Apart from being able to eat a little, he didn't seem to have anything special about him.

However, as a princess and a strong woman aspiring to become empress, she didn't care about these things.

"Your master's cultivation level is so high, didn't he teach you how to cultivate battle qi?"

"Yes, but I can't learn it."

Why?

"Because I can't read," Hun Xin said matter-of-factly.

"You can learn to read if you don't know how," Yao Ye said with a gentle smile. "How about I teach you?"

Hun Xin wanted to refuse, but seeing the table full of delicious food in front of him, he reluctantly agreed.

"Isn't the little girl quite cute?" Yao Ye smiled.

Half a day later...

"How can there be such a stupid child in the world..." The pale blue veins on Yao Ye's fair forehead became visible.

"Your Highness, if it really doesn't work, then don't teach her anymore." Xiao Cui, who took care of Hun Xin, looked at Yao Ye with some pity.

"No, this princess refuses to believe it..."

Half a day later, Yao Yesheng sat there blankly, utterly dejected.

Having already eaten his third meal, Hunxin wiped the oil off his mouth with his chubby little hands, then grabbed two more chicken legs and stuffed them into his burlap sack.

"Aren't you full yet?" Yao Ye asked, looking at the little girl.

"I'm full, but Master and Sister Yafei haven't eaten yet," Hun Xin said earnestly.

Thud, a chicken leg fell to the ground.

Hun Xin quickly picked up the chicken leg from the ground and stuffed it back into his pocket.

"This chicken leg is already dirty," Yao Ye said, looking at the little boy.

"It's alright, just give it to Master if it gets dirty."

Hun Xin looked like he was being mourned.

"Hehe." Yao Ye gave a forced smile, and only after Hun Xin left the palace did she lean weakly against the table.

Dealing with apprentices is even more exhausting than dealing with masters.

Hun Xin was unaware of Yao Ye's thoughts at that moment; she was happily skipping back to the entrance of the Mittel family's house.

She dropped the chicken leg twice on the way, but she put it back both times, wanting her master to experience the local customs and culture.

However, when she reached the door, she suddenly saw a tall, beautiful woman with a flat chest.

Don't panic, everyone. The ending isn't tragic, and there won't be any violence.
