Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 67 The Two Saints Take Action

The ancient world was silent, save for the boy's heavy voice and the occasional muffled groans that revealed his pain.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, chaos reigned.

As a giant black and white fiery dragon flew out of space, the people outside were first startled, and then they were about to face a calamity.

"Is this the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame?" The group of people were initially delighted to see the flame, but then, to their astonishment, the enormous fire dragon, hundreds of feet long, exploded.

The next moment, an overwhelming sea of ​​flames transformed into a raging inferno that engulfed an area of ​​hundreds of miles, followed by countless eerie black mists billowing from within.

"Oh no, this is the black mist from the yin side!" Before everyone could react, the black mist was already close.

Everyone, quickly activate your fighting spirit to protect your bodies! This thing is extremely strange!

Black mist filled the air, and the elders of the Black Wind Sect, who were most familiar with the terrifying nature of this thing, changed their expressions drastically.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a Douhuang expert, whose body was already shrouded in black mist, let out a miserable scream.

A moment later, his entire body was covered in red hair, then his eyes turned dark red, his bones twisted violently, and his face became sinister and terrifying.

In less than a quarter of an hour, this Dou Huang had completely transformed into a red-haired monster who only knew how to kill. He let out a low roar and began to attack his companions.

"Run, everyone!" someone shouted, and they immediately fled as fast as they could.

Upon hearing this person's shout, everyone quickly left. However, several Dou Huang experts and one Dou Zong expert were still accidentally tainted by the black mist.

Several Dou Huangs instantly grew red hair all over their bodies. The Dou Zong expert did not change at first, but just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that his body hair had turned red.

"Roar!" A Douhuang-level monster roared and charged towards a Douzun-level expert.

"You're courting death!" the Dou Zun expert sneered, and with a casual strike, he blasted him into a bloody mist.

However, the next moment a black mist flew rapidly toward him.

"I'd like to see what's so strange about you." The old Dou Zun sneered, his powerful Dou Qi sealing away the wisp of black energy.

His expression changed drastically very quickly.

Because the terrifying black mist had already begun to seep into his battle aura, in the blink of an eye, his originally light blue battle aura was dyed pitch black.

The Dou Zun expert dared not continue to entangle with the black mist. He waved his hand to disperse his Dou Qi and retreated rapidly.

"This eerie black mist, even a Dou Zun expert would find it troublesome?" A group of powerful figures in the distance looked at the terrifying black mist with a hint of fear in their eyes.

For them, a Dou Zun expert was already the most powerful being they could ever encounter, yet they never expected that even such an being would be so wary of the black mist.

At this moment, the black mist had spread to a radius of hundreds of miles with the explosion of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames. Wherever it passed, all living beings became frenzied and bloodthirsty. Even the plants showed black patterns, and there were faint signs that they were about to crawl out of the soil.

If this trend is allowed to continue, it will likely not be long before the area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles becomes a hell of slaughter.

"Young Master is still inside." Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, who were from the nearby ancient city, exchanged a glance and saw the worry in each other's eyes. The two old women from the Medicine Clan beside them also had worried expressions on their faces.

"But this black mist!" Xiao Wen gathered his fighting spirit in his palm and attracted a wisp of black mist.

A wisp of black mist struggled wildly in his palm, showing signs of even turning his fighting spirit black.

Xiao Wen snorted coldly, and the spatial power around him condensed, combining with his battle qi to form a barrier.

The black mist was bounced back after touching the boundary wall. After being hit dozens of times, it showed signs of weakening. However, the spatial boundary wall also showed signs of being stained black.

Upon seeing this, even Xiao Wen's expression turned serious.

This strange thing can not only pollute battle qi, but also erode space itself. Even with his half-saint power, it is difficult for him to erase even a wisp of it.

Even if he and Xiao Wu exhausted all their fighting spirit, they probably wouldn't be able to erase even a tenth of this black mist that covered a radius of a hundred miles.

"To completely deal with this thing, it would probably take a Dou Sheng expert of three stars or above several years to suppress it and have any chance of eradicating it."

Alternatively, it could be gradually worn away over the years by refining it with one of the top ten flames on the Flame Ranking.

Upon hearing Xiao Wen's words, Xiao Wu and the two old women from the Medicine Clan also looked solemn.

Clearly, this black mist is extremely terrifying.

"Although erasing it is difficult, it is still possible for the two of us to temporarily bind it for a period of time." Xiao Wen glanced at Xiao Wu, and the two brothers nodded in tacit agreement.

The next moment, towering battle qi erupted from the bodies of the two half-saints. The terrifying aura was as deep as the ocean, causing the group of powerful figures watching from afar to tremble slightly.

"I didn't expect these two to be experts at the Half-Saint level." A complex expression appeared on the face of a Dou Zun expert.

When the two sages of literature and martial arts appeared in Black Wind City with Xiao Yan, he had peeked at them, but was driven away by Xiao Wu's shout. He thought that Xiao Wu was a high-level Dou Zun, but he did not expect that Xiao Yan was a half-saint.

Upon hearing his soft words, a group of lower-level Dou Zong and Dou Huang all swallowed hard, looking at the two aged figures with expressions of awe.

"Let's do it." Xiao Wu gestured with both hands, and his terrifying battle qi began to rapidly draw upon the fire-attribute energy in the world.

Xiao Wen also unleashed what could be described as terrifying water-attribute energy, forming a sweeping energy tide.

Faced with the immense power of heaven and earth mobilized by the semi-saint, even the extremely strange black mist was rapidly compressed and concentrated from all sides by two terrifying energies.

"About to be sealed again, the black mist began to struggle frantically, but in the end it could not escape the methods of the half-saint. Having been worn down for thousands of years by the Yin-Yang Evil Saint with the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame, it was no longer even one-tenth as powerful as it once was."

Soon, this black mist, which even Dou Zun experts feared, was sealed within an energy shield with a diameter of one hundred feet by the water and fire attribute energies of the Wenwu Two Saints.

The two's fighting spirit attributes complement each other, and together they can hold out for a period of time against a one-star Dou Sheng. Naturally, the energy shield they form is also extremely powerful.

Even so, the energy shield began to be gradually penetrated.

"Reinforce the spatial power." Xiao Wen shouted, and the two of them began to mobilize the surrounding spatial power to integrate into the shield, combining with the energy within to ultimately form a solid barrier.

The black mist struggled violently, but could not break free.

"Phew!" Xiao Wen exhaled, with beads of sweat showing on his forehead.

"This seal should be able to keep it sealed for about a year."

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to the ancient ruins, ignoring the awe-inspiring gazes of the powerful figures around him, and stood calmly in the air waiting. Seven days passed in this way.

Seven days later, the boy in the ancient city slowly opened his eyes.

"The first strange flame has been successfully refined!"

Whispers echoed through the ancient city, and deep within the boy's dark pupils, two flames, one black and one white, flickered slowly.

The main character doesn't have much screen time in this chapter, but this isn't filler; it's setting the stage for the next part of the plot.

There'll be another chapter tonight, featuring the injection scene!!
