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

The Soul Emperor let out a heart-wrenching scream, a scream of excruciating pain as his soul was being burned inch by inch.

"No—! This shouldn't be the ending!"

"I've planned for a thousand years, laid out a far-reaching strategy, and was on the verge of reaching the Dou Di realm. How could I possibly fail here?!"

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled—!!"

Chapter 440 The Complete Emperor Core!

As the Heavenly Profound Cauldron and the Glazed Burning Heaven Fire continued to refine it, the Soul Emperor's roar, filled with resentment and unwillingness, completely fell into deathly silence.

Su Baichen clenched his fists, and the Glazed Burning Heaven Fire slowly flew back to his palm. At that very moment, an unimaginably rich and fragrant aroma suddenly burst forth, sweeping across the entire world like ripples!

This fragrance is no ordinary elixir fragrance; it contains a supreme and supreme imperial aura.

Just by inhaling a tiny bit, some low-level Battle Saints felt their acupoints open up, and the Battle Qi in their meridians surged and roared uncontrollably. Their originally impregnable realm barriers even showed signs of loosening.

"This...this is?!"

Gu Yuan looked up in shock and saw a ball of light, the size of a dragon's eye, perfectly round and radiating divine light, slowly flying out from the mouth of the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

The ball of light was not a physical entity, but rather a condensation of pure energy and laws, wrapped in purple-gold imperial patterns, shimmering with light and radiating auspicious energy.

Complete Teitan!

Hey, I really didn't expect that.

The energy of the Soul Emperor, combined with the essence blood energy collected earlier, unexpectedly completed the final piece of the puzzle needed for a fledgling Emperor-grade pill.

[This allowed the unfinished imperial-grade embryonic pill to be perfected, transforming into a true imperial pill.]

Su Baichen looked at the radiant pill in his palm, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

This is not just a pill, but the crystallization of the Soul Emperor's lifelong cultivation and countless essences and blood energy.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone watched as Su Baichen put away the Emperor Pill, yet no one dared to make a move.

An invisible fear permeated the air.

Dissatisfaction? Resentment? What a joke!

The Soul Emperor, who even resorted to trickery in his self-destruction, has now been refined into a pill.

Anyone who dares to harbor even the slightest wicked thought will likely be killed in the next second.

Su Baichen didn't even need to lift a finger; his alchemy skills alone were enough to awe the ages.

Su Baichen moved his divine sense and secretly transmitted his voice to Zhu Kun:

[Father-in-law, for the next period of time, I will need your help to look after the White Dust Realm and protect it.]

[Once I break through to the Dou Di realm, I will inevitably attract the source of the plane and draw Origin Qi into the continent. As for this Emperor Pill... whether I choose to use Origin Qi to break through or directly consume it to become an Emperor, it's entirely up to my father-in-law.]

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun's dragon eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his beard trembled with excitement. He quickly responded telepathically:

[Good son-in-law, rest assured and go into seclusion! With me here, in this Dou Qi Continent, whoever dares to lay a finger on me, I'll twist their head off and use it as a chamber pot!]

Su Baichen nodded slightly, giving the women a reassuring look. With a flicker of his body, he left a ripple in the void and disappeared.

……

Deep within the White Dust Realm, in Su Baichen's secluded cultivation chamber.

After confirming that all the surrounding formations were functioning normally, Su Baichen sat cross-legged and focused his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness.

[System, check-in.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully checking in! You have received a reward: One copy of the Emperor's Origin!]

[Emperor's Origin: Pure primordial energy originating from a higher plane, capable of helping the host break through to the Dou Di realm with 100% success rate, and perfectly compatible with the host's main cultivation technique, automatically deducing and perfecting its law system.]

[Ding, the reward energy level detected this time is too high, exceeding the system's capacity limit. The system will be forcibly uninstalled soon... Countdown begins.]

[Three, two, one.]

The cold, mechanical sound abruptly stopped.

In his mind's eye, the system interface that had accompanied him for countless years shattered and vanished like a bubble, leaving no trace.

Su Baichen slowly opened his eyes, his face showing no surprise or disappointment. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

"Really...gone?"

He exhaled softly, his gaze completely focused on the chaotic ball of light radiating boundless pressure in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"It's time for a breakthrough."

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Baichen's thoughts stirred, and the swirling imperial essence instantly surged into his meridians!

Rumble—!

It was as if a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, exploded within his body, and endless imperial energy surged like a river bursting its banks, washing over his limbs and bones.

Flesh and blood, bones and soul, all undergo a transformative metamorphosis at this moment.

The Heavenly Book he was cultivating was operating on its own, frantically devouring and transforming that primordial energy. A unique path of Emperor Realm spatial laws, belonging to him alone, was rapidly taking shape!

……

Several months later, in Zhongzhou, the ancestral home of the Cao family.

The once peaceful sky above the Cao family suddenly changed color, with several pillars of light containing the pressure of a Dou Sheng rising from the ground and piercing the sky!

A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Central Continent, causing countless forces to tremble.

After the aura subsided, all members of the Cao family, regardless of whether they were elders or disciples, who possessed the Cao family bloodline broke through to new heights, and their cultivation levels soared.

Many old guys who had been stuck at the low-level Dou Zun for hundreds of years actually broke through the shackles and stepped into the Dou Sheng level!

Overnight, the Cao family rose from a first-rate power to a super giant capable of shaking the entire Central Plains!

That night, the Central Plains were shaken, and all races watched with bated breath.

Within the White Dust Realm.

Cai Lin looked at the intelligence report that had been sent back, a hint of understanding flashing in her beautiful eyes. She chuckled and said, "It seems that my husband's love for Ying'er is truly extreme. He even bestows such good fortune upon Ying'er."

The man in black beside him sighed, "Indeed, with this foundation, the Cao family is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the White Dust Realm. However..."

She changed the subject, her tone slightly worried, and said, "Now that the Cao family's power has increased dramatically, are there any restless individuals within the family who might want to take advantage of this to stir up trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin gently shook her head, her expression resolute: "No need to worry, Ying'er isn't stupid, she knows what she's doing."

"Since my husband dares to do this, it means that Ying'er is capable of controlling the situation."

As soon as the words were spoken, the space inside the hall slightly distorted, and a graceful figure stepped out from the void.

Cao Ying, dressed in purple, looked heroic and spirited, with an aura of imperial power emanating from her. She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Cailin understands me best."

"Sister Xuanyi, in your heart, am I still the same little girl I was back then?"

Cai Lin joked, "Oh? It seems it's already been cleaned up?"

Cao Ying's pretty face turned cold, and she snorted: "They were just a few ignorant fools who tried to use my power to seek personal gain. They have been burned to ashes by me."

"Once they've gained some strength, they forget their roots and make a fool of themselves."

Just as the three were talking, two even more powerful auras suddenly erupted from the depths of the White Dust Realm!

Boom! Boom!

Su Ling'er and Su Mu, the two siblings, actually broke through at this moment!

The elder sister, Su Ling'er, was surrounded by dazzling starlight. With one step, her cultivation level reached the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng. The younger brother, Su Mu, also had an imposing aura and stepped into the mid stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

These siblings have surpassed their mother, Cai Lin, and Liu Muxi, becoming the new top powerhouses on this continent.

Chapter 441 Using space as a path, ascending to the Emperor Realm!

The White Dust Realm, a realm high in the sky.

Above the vast and boundless sky, a breathtaking spectacle is unfolding.

Countless visible spatial ripples are spreading wildly from the White Dust Realm as its core into the surrounding void.

Wherever it passed, the once stable void became like a fragile mirror, endlessly cycling between "breaking" and "reconstructing".

It was a mighty force that transcended the rules of nature. If it weren't for a supreme will deliberately suppressing it, any living being that touched this spatial power would be instantly cut into the most basic particles, and its soul would be completely annihilated by the spatial turbulence.

Deep within the secluded chamber of the White Dust Realm.

As the source of all these spatial storms, Su Baichen slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain the birth and death of the universe.

The view is no longer limited by material obstacles.

The layers of spatial barriers were as transparent as thin paper in his eyes, and his gaze easily pierced through billions of miles of void, taking in every blade of grass, every flower, and every leaf on the Dou Qi Continent.

Before those eyes, there are no secrets left in the world.

He slowly got up and walked calmly towards the outside.

When his tall and slender figure touched the stone door, which was forged from ten-thousand-year-old black iron and engraved with many restrictions, he did not pause at all.

Step out.

The stone gate rippled like a phantom, and his body passed through it without any hindrance, as if the gate, which was powerful enough to block a full-force attack from a high-level Dou Sheng, did not exist in this dimension at all.

Once outside, Su Baichen's figure appeared exceptionally ethereal.

The jade ground beneath his feet left no trace where he stood, and even the breeze blew around him to the sides.

Everything he touched passed right through him; this was a manifestation of cultivating the "spatial body" to its extreme—he was here, yet not here.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

A dazzlingly beautiful seven-colored fire lotus tore through the sky, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, smashing through layers of space, and crashing headlong toward Su Baichen's back!

Before the Fire Lotus even arrived, the devastating heat wave had already caused the temperature of the entire White Dust Realm to rise sharply.

Faced with this sudden and terrifying sneak attack, Su Baichen could only sigh helplessly and shake his head gently.

[Tsk, they really are like dogs that need a good beating.]
