Battle Through the Heavens

“Tribal
chief Yao Ming, I would not dare to speak with such confidence if I
could not backup my claim.” Xiao Yan laughed. The situation of the
Eastern Dragon Island was undoubtedly serious. At this moment, the
Eastern Dragon Island would clearly understand how to choose between
annihilation and putting aside their pride.

“I will dispatch some
experts from the tribe to observe the actions of the Heaven Demon
Phoenix tribe during this period of time. I will inform brother Xiao Yan
the moment their experts move.”

Yao Ming immediately spoke. He
was also an extremely decisive person. Since he had made up his mind, he
would not be indecisive in whatever he did.

“In that case, I will
trouble tribal chief Yao Ming. We will be remaining in the Nine Serene
Deep Ground Python tribe during this period of time. Additionally, we
might perhaps have to borrow the Nine Serene Spring.” Xiao Yan glanced
at Cai Lin after mentioning the Nine Serene Spring. He was planning on
using the strength of the Nine Serene Spring to help Cai Lin complete
the tempering of her body.

“Ha ha, it’s a small matter. However,
the energy within the Nine Serene Spring is unusually dark and cold.
Brother Xiao Yan should be careful.” Yao Ming laughed before reminding
Xiao Yan about the power of the spring.

“Aye.”

“Since the
matter of the stone tablet has been resolved, we should return to the
tribe first. One will require some preparations in order to deal with
the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe.” Yao Ming waved his large hand. His body
moved as he flew toward the underground network. Xiao Yan’s group
slowly followed behind him.

Yao Ming hurriedly made some
preparations after returning to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python
tribe. He had only just regained his position. It was likely not going
to be easy for him to do something this big immediately, but given his
character, he would quickly be able to resolve these matters perfectly.

While
Yao Ming was preparing to deal with the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe,
Xiao Yan’s group rested for an entire day. They once again appeared
beside the Nine Serene Spring on the next day.

“The dark and cold
energy contained within the Nine Serene Spring is lethal to an ordinary
expert. However, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python boasts an
extremely dense, dark and cold aura. It is likely that only you can
fearlessly absorb the energy inside.” Xiao Yan turned his head to Cai
Lin. He smiled and spoke to her after glancing at the Nine Serene Spring
with a cold air floating above it.

“The dark and cold force
within the Nine Serene Spring is extraordinary. Even an expert from the
Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe would not dare to venture deep into
it. However, this is not much of a problem for me.” Cai Lin faintly
smiled. Her tone appeared to be quite proud. Being the only
Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python in the present world, she was
qualified to look down on all snake Magical Beasts.

Xiao Yan
smiled. He clenched his hand and a jade bottle appeared in it. A pill
cloud lingered within that jade bottle. An extremely powerful energy
fluctuation was emitted from the bottle.

“This is the Great
Bodhisattva Return Pill, a tier nine treasure pill. It can greatly raise
your chances of advancing to the Ban Sheng class. You should consume it
at a critical moment. It might help you a lot at that time.” Xiao Yan
handed the jade bottle to Cai Lin as he spoke.

Cai Lin slightly
nodded. She did not reject him. Instead, she extended her hand and
received that jade bottle, which contained some warmth.

“This
training will not be smooth. The amount of time it will require will
likely be long. I will instruct Yao Ming to send some people to guard
you if I have to leave and attend to some matters…”

Cai Lin played
with the jade bottle in her hand. She was aware that Xiao Yan’s group
might have to head out to kill the experts from the Heaven Demon Phoenix
tribe very soon. Hence, she did not make any comments. She rotated her
head and suddenly lifted her narrow and long eyes, which contained a
bewitching expression. She slowly stepped forward and gently pressed her
red lips against Xiao Yan’s lips.

Xiao Yan felt absent-minded the
moment he sensed the sudden softness. His arm reflexively hugged Cai
Lin’s soft, narrow, seemingly boneless waist. That was a true
temptation. That enchanting snake waist contained a charm that bewitched
all life as it gently shook.

The beauty in his embrace gently
turned her head after Xiao Yan had become absent-minded because of that
gentleness. A soft voice was transmitted into his ear.

“Be careful. Remember… your life belongs to this Queen.”

Xiao
Yan was startled after once again hearing these words that had once
been imprinted deep within his soul. He turned his head, only to see the
corner of Cai Lin’s mouth suddenly lift into an enchanting arc. This
arc appeared like the final stroke of a masterpiece. It caused the
originally gentle woman to suddenly appear cold and strong.

In an
instant, Cai Lin, who had been acting gentle in front of Xiao Yan for so
many years, seemed to have become the cold and ruthless Medusa of the
past once again. At that time, she had shaken the entire Jia Ma Empire
and frightened Xiao Yan into worrying all the time.

“You…”

Xiao
Yan was stunned as Cai Lin seemed to turn into a different person. She
suddenly smiled more just as he was about to speak. Her lovely body
swayed, and she turned into an unusually large Seven-Colored Heaven
Swallowing Python. This python swung its large tail and charged into the
Nine Serene Yellow Spring without turning her head once. A great wave
surged.

“Bubble!”

The lake water immediately appeared to
boil after Cai Lin entered the Nine Serene Yellow Spring. It formed
countless bubbles. Xiao Yan could sense the energy of the Nine Serene
Spring stir at this moment…

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment as
he stood beside the Nine Serene Spring. Finally, he bitterly smiled and
recovered. He rubbed his lips as his eyes wandered over the surface of
the lake with a somewhat complicated expression. Ever since she had
given birth to little Xiao Xiao, Cai Lin’s character seemed to have
become much gentler. She had chosen to obey all of Xiao Yan’s request.
However, Xiao Yan finally understood that the cold and proud Queen
Medusa still existed deep within Cai Lin’s bones. She had forced herself
to become a good wife and mother because of him and little Xiao Xiao.

“Compared to you being a good wife and mother, I prefer you to reveal your original character…”

Xiao
Yan looked at the surface of the lake and softly sighed. His body
moved, and he appeared on a protruding rock above the deep abyss. After
which, he sat down on it. He needed to advance of his strength before
heading out to block the experts from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe.

“Yellow
Spring Finger, Yellow Spring Palm, Yellow Spring Divine Anger… these
three Yellow Spring ultimate skills have been inserted into my soul by
that Demon Saint’s soul fragment. The various things the Demon Saint
comprehended while studying these three Dou Skills was included in the
information I was given. This kind of blessing is far from what the Dou
Skill on the stone tablet being learned by Yao Ming and the others can
compare with.” Xiao Yan shut his eyes, but these thoughts swiftly
flashed over his heart in the process.

Although the current Xiao
Yan had just obtained these three great Dou Skills, Xiao Yan was
absolutely confident that the Yellow Spring Dou Skills he could unleash
would be many times mightier than Yao Ming’s Yellow Spring Finger or
Yellow Spring Palm!

The knowledge that Demon Saint Huang Quan had
accumulated throughout his life was not some useless thing. Regardless
of how others comprehended the Dou Skills, it would be very difficult
for others to surpass the understanding of the creator!

“The Demon
Saint essence blood contains the strength of the Demon Saint Huang
Quan. If I am able to absorb it, my strength will soar…”

A thought
passed through Xiao Yan’s mind as a drop of golden blood appeared in
his palm. The appearance of this drop of blood caused the surrounding
area to visibly tremble. Xiao Yan clearly sensed all the energy in a
thousand-foot-radius had begun to escape.

“It is indeed worthy of being the Demon Saint’s essence blood since it this overbearing…”

Xiao
Yan involuntarily smiled after sensing his surroundings. This was the
first time that he had obtained such an overbearing energy. Even the
natural energy around it had been expelled.

“I will refine it before speaking…”

Xiao
Yan glanced at the Nine Serene Spring below. He sighed in relief after
seeing that nothing unusual was happening. He opened his mouth and
exhaled. A flame was spat out, and it wrapped around the drop of golden
blood. Although this essence blood could be absorbed under normal
circumstances, it was was not a bad thing to be cautious at times.

The
golden blood burned within the Heavenly Flame for three full hours, but
not the slightest fluctuation was emitted. It appeared as though the
frighteningly high temperature of the Heavenly Flame did not exist.

This
refinement continued for around four hours before Xiao Yan finally
opened his eyes. He widened his mouth and the flame rushed into his
mouth with lightning-like speed along with the golden blood.

“Bang!”

The
clothes on Xiao Yan’s body shattered to dust the moment the golden
blood entered his body. A frightening energy fluctuation spread from his
body, shaking the surrounding abyss rocks until many crack lines
formed.

Xiao Yan did not have any time to deal with the situation
in the outside world. That drop of blood had turned into waves of
violent energy that wildly rushed in all directions like an untamed
horse. The blood began to go on a crazy rampage within his body. That
destructive force was created by an overflowing energy.

The energy
within the blood was far more violent that Xiao Yan had imagined. This
fierce and uncontrolled energy could cause an expert five star Dou Zun’s
body to explode.

Fortunately, however, the current Xiao Yan had
far exceeded that level. The change within his body might have caught
him off-guard but he quickly calmed his mind down. After which, he begun
to steadily absorb the energy. Under this perfect control of his, the
wild horse like violent energy also began to once again come under his
control. It slowly became gentle under the burning Heavenly Flame.
Finally, traces of it seeped into every part of Lin Dong’s body…

“Hu…”

Xiao
Yan sat on the protruding rock. A rich breathe of energy was emitted
from his nostrils, giving him the appearance of a furious dragon. This
energy finally entwined with the air curled and rose before disappearing
from this world…
