Battle Through the Heavens: Starting with Cao Ying as an apprentice

"Phew... Finally, I succeeded..."

Su Baichen breathed a sigh of relief, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

He looked at the stunningly beautiful figure before him, a tired yet gratified smile appearing on his face.

The purple-haired woman tilted her head slightly, her purple-gold eyes falling on Su Baichen, a hint of curiosity flashing in her gaze.

She nodded gently, her voice clear and cold like the clinking of jade stones, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible gentleness: "Thank you for your help, young friend. Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, she lightly raised her hand and gestured towards the distance.

hum!

The Dragon Emperor's Blood-Weeping Spear, which had sent the Soul Hall's deputy hall master flying, let out a joyful tremor and instantly transformed into a golden light, flying back and hovering beside the woman.

The spear circled the woman affectionately, its shaft trembling slightly and emitting low hums, like a child who had been away from home for many years finally returning to its mother's embrace.

The woman reached out and gently grasped the gun barrel.

In that instant, her aura seemed to merge completely with the spear, and her supreme pressure rose once more, becoming even more solid and terrifying.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

In the distance, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall, who was embedded in the rock wall, struggled to climb out.

His black robe was tattered, and a gaping hole in his chest was gushing blood. Black battle qi energy tried to repair it, but it was constantly being eroded by a wisp of golden spear intent remaining at the wound.

He stared intently at the purple-haired woman, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

Mid-stage Seven-Star Dou Sheng! And this is no ordinary Seven-Star Dou Sheng; the pressure of his bloodline is like facing an ancient divine beast!

"I am... I am the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall."

He suppressed his fear, his voice trembling with rage from his injuries and shock.

"May I ask your esteemed name? This matter involves a personal feud between my Soul Palace and Su Baichen. If you are willing to do me a favor, the Soul Palace will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

He invoked the name of the Soul Hall, a name that was enough to instill fear in the vast majority of powerful individuals in the Central Continent.

However, upon hearing this, the purple-haired woman tilted her head slightly, revealing a look of confusion.

She blinked her purplish-gold eyes, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then gently shook her head: "Soul Palace? What is that?"

Her voice was calm, as if she were asking a trivial question, but the indifference in her words sent a chill down the spine of the Soul Palace's vice hall master.

"I don't remember it..."

The woman frowned slightly, looking a little troubled, then relaxed and smiled.

That smile was like a frozen river thawing, spring flowers blooming, breathtakingly beautiful, yet the chill in her eyes was even more intense than ice.

"Never mind."

"Let's kill you first, you bastard who disturbed my awakening."

She said it casually, as if deciding what to have for dinner.

Before she finished speaking, she didn't even make any gesture of exerting force; she simply flicked her wrist casually.

The Dragon Emperor's Blood-Weeping Spear transformed into a golden-red streak of light that tore through the heavens and earth, arriving in an instant!

Chapter 289 The Powerful Ancient Dragon Queen!

"not good!!!"

The Soul Hall's deputy hall master was terrified, and all his senses, including those of a late-stage three-star Dou Sheng, were screaming wildly!

Do not accept! Absolutely do not accept! Accepting will mean certain death! Run! You must run immediately!

Without hesitation, he burned his life essence, and pitch-black flames erupted from his body, attempting to tear through space and escape.

At the same time, he threw out all the life-saving items he had on him—three soul-protecting jade talismans refined by the Soul Clan's Battle Saint, a mysterious bone shield engraved with strange runes, and a bottle of pitch-black blood exuding an ominous aura.

Any one of these trump cards would be enough to save his life from a full-force attack by a five-star Dou Sheng.

but--

The moment the golden-red streak of light approached, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall discovered in despair that the space within a thousand feet radius around him had already been completely sealed off and solidified by an irresistible supreme power!

He felt as if he were an insect trapped in amber, unable to move even his fingers.

Not only that, the surrounding space even began to squeeze inward, making a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if it was going to crush him into a pulp.

The spear light had already locked onto his every move, leaving him with no way to avoid it or block it.

"Do not--!!!"

Amidst the desperate roar of the Soul Hall's deputy hall master, the golden-red light collided violently with the layers of defensive measures in front of him.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any dazzling clash of energy.

Like a red-hot knife cutting into butter, those soul-protecting jade talismans, mysterious bone shields, and pitch-black blood barriers that were strong enough to withstand a five-star Dou Sheng were completely destroyed before the Dragon Emperor's Blood-Weeping Spear, without even a moment's resistance.

The spear's edge, seemingly effortless, pierced through his body and disappeared into the earth behind him.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

next moment--

boom!!!

An indescribable destructive energy erupted from the spot where the Soul Hall's Vice Hall Master stood!

A terrifying energy sphere with a diameter of over a hundred feet rapidly expanded, turning mountains, earth, air, and even space itself into dust wherever it passed.

The sphere of light eventually transformed into a mushroom cloud, a mixture of gold, red, and black, filled with a contradictory aura of destruction and holiness. It slowly rose into the sky, completely tearing apart and evaporating the clouds above.

As the destructive aftershocks gradually subsided and the blinding light dimmed, the center of the explosion left only a bottomless, enormous crater, and... the Dragon Emperor's Blood-Weeping Spear, still humming and trembling, stuck diagonally upside down in the center of the scorched earth.

A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up wisps of charred dust.

The Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall, a late-stage three-star Dou Sheng expert, the second most powerful figure in the Soul Hall, along with all his treasures, trump cards, and that wisp of remnant soul...

Vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace.

"This...this is way too outrageous..."

Having just swallowed the pill and was recovering his battle qi, Su Baichen stared dumbfounded at the ravaged land before him and the bottomless crater, unable to help but gasp.

In the late stage of a three-star Dou Sheng, he burned his life essence and had several life-saving trump cards sufficient to withstand a five-star Dou Sheng...

Even at his peak, he would have to be on high alert with such a lineup, as a slight misstep could lead to an unexpected defeat.

But in the hands of that purple-haired woman, it was merely... tossed aside casually?

It was a light touch, like brushing away the dust from one's shoulders.

It was as if she had killed not a Soul Hall Vice Hall Master who was powerful enough to cause bloodshed across the continent, but merely a buzzing, annoying fly.

Su Baichen swallowed hard, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the purple figure standing in mid-air.

At this moment, the woman raised her hand to recall the Dragon Emperor's Blood-Weeping Spear. Her fair hand gently stroked the cold spear shaft, her eyes tender, as if she were treating a long-lost friend.

As if sensing Su Baichen's gaze, she turned her head, her purple-gold eyes looking over.

Eyes facing each other.

Su Baichen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately composed himself, cupping his fists in a respectful bow: "Junior Su Baichen thanks senior!"

The woman gazed at him silently for two seconds, and a clear and bright smile suddenly bloomed on her exquisite face, instantly dispelling the suffocating aura of supreme power emanating from him.

"No need to thank me."

Her voice became a little lighter as she looked up at the distant horizon, a hint of reminiscence and melancholy flashing in her eyes.

"It's been sleeping for too long...it's time to stretch our muscles."

After speaking, the purple-haired woman looked in a certain direction again.

"You recover your fighting spirit first, I'll go clean up some trash."

The purple-haired woman swept her spear, tearing a rift in space like a piece of cloth, and then disappeared into it.

Gazing at the slowly closing spatial rift, Su Baichen breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Zi Yan's mother... is truly powerful."

"This family is truly astonishing, each one more amazing than the last."

It wasn't Zi Yan who made the move, but her mother.

Nourished by the combined energy of the Dragon and Phoenix Origin, the energy of the Heaven and Earth in the Heavenly Profound Pearl Small World, and the essence blood of Little Gold, the ancient Dragon Queen, who had been asleep for a long time, finally awoke.

His soul had not yet fully recovered, yet he was already able to possess someone and fight for them—such strength was unfathomable.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the civil war among the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

The three Dragon Kings' expressions all changed.

They clearly felt the overwhelming pressure of bloodline that had swept across the heavens and earth.

The Northern Dragon King cursed inwardly: Useless! He had lured the enemy away, yet he still failed!

"Northern Dragon King, what should we do now?" The Southern Dragon King's face was ashen, and the Western Dragon King also cast a panicked glance at him.

The Dragon and Phoenix Supreme has been formed, and they will likely arrive to kill us in the next moment!

"What should we do?" The Northern Dragon King's gaze swept over the two of them, then he suddenly grinned, revealing a sinister smile.

"Let's do it this way—"

He suddenly attacked, his palms imbued with dark dragon power, slamming them hard into the backs of the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King!

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, blood splattered across the sky, and their lives instantly waned.

"Holy crap, they're fighting amongst themselves?" The Second Elder's eyes widened.

"No..." The Grand Elder's pupils constricted sharply, and he shouted sternly, "This is the forbidden technique, the Dragon Transformation Demon Array! Stop him at once!"

Upon hearing this, everyone unleashed their dragon power, attempting to work together to interrupt.

"Hahaha...Too late!"

The Northern Dragon King spread his arms, and countless black runes appeared all over his body, transforming into a strange array that enveloped the heavens and earth, firmly imprisoning the two heavily injured dragon kings within it.

As the formation activated, their flesh, cultivation, and even their dragon souls were forcibly extracted and continuously poured into the Northern Dragon King's body.
