Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

385: Section 385478 Regarding the Kidnapping of Civilian Girls

Time is fleeting, and years pass like a weaver’s shuttle.

In this void space of Ancient Dragon Island, isolated from the distractions of the outside world, the passage of time seemed to become slow and blurred.

When the purple-gold light mist above the altar finally dissipated completely, it was already a full year later. ”Boom—!!!!!”

A vast and boundless terrifying pressure, enough to make the world change color, erupted from the center of the altar!

It wasn’t simple physical pressure, but a supreme imperial majesty originating from the bloodline, standing above all magical beasts!

The entire Ancient Dragon Island—no, this vast void space—shook violently under this aura, as if paying the humblest homage to its newborn monarch.

On the altar, Yun Xiancheng still maintained his sitting posture from a year ago, his expression calm and his robes fluttering. In his arms, that petite figure had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zi Yan’s slightly immature features had fully matured, transforming into a peerless countenance capable of captivating all living beings.

Her eyes and brows were like a painting, her nose fine and lips like cherries, her skin fairer than snow, and her waist-length purple hair moved without wind, shimmering with a dreamlike luster. Her figure was no longer its former appearance but had blossomed into a stunning young lady with a slender and graceful silhouette.

Although she still looked petite, she was now curvaceous and filled with breathtaking charm. One-Star Dou Sheng!

Having only preliminarily refined a small portion of the dragon phoenix origin fruit’s power, her cultivation had reached the heavens in a single bound, jumping from a Second-Change Dou Zun directly across the chasm of Ban Sheng to reach the realm of a One-Star Dou Sheng!

Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes; those purple orbs seemed to contain a sea of stars.

She looked down at her perfectly developed body, felt the vast, sea-like surging Dou Qi within her, and rubbed against Yun Xiancheng’s chest contentedly, speaking in a soft, sweet voice tinged with pride:

”Cheng, I feel... if I absorb all the power in this fruit, I could reach at least the late stage of a Four-Star Dou Sheng, maybe even... a Five-Star Dou Sheng!”

The powerful confidence in her words already showed the burgeoning style of a sovereign.

Yun Xiancheng smiled and lowered his head to plant a kiss on her smooth forehead, saying dotingly, ”No rush, take it slow. A solid foundation is what’s most important.”

At the exact moment Zi Yan broke through, the profound and unpredictable rules of the Pact of One Heart were activated once again!

Pure Dou Qi equivalent to a full twenty percent of a One-Star Dou Sheng’s power manifested out of thin air, pouring into Yun Xiancheng’s body like the Milky Way cascading from the nine heavens! His realm barrier, which was already at the peak of a Fourth-Change Dou Zun, was as fragile as thin paper before this irresistible force and was instantly torn to shreds!

Fifth-Change Dou Zun! Sixth-Change! Seventh-Change... Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak!

Finally, after breaking through the limits of a Dou Zun, that force continued its unstoppable momentum, slamming hard against the chasm of Ban Sheng! *Crack—*

With a crisp sound that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, the aura surrounding Yun Xiancheng underwent a sudden transformation! Initial Half-Saint!

And this was only the beginning!

Aboard the star chaser, and in the distant Jia Ma Empire and other places, all the Young ladies whose hearts were connected to Yun Xiancheng’s trembled simultaneously! The medicinal pills provided by Yao Chan!

Combined with the surging energy fed back from Zi Yan’s breakthrough to Dou Sheng, the two torrents merged into one, creating stormy waves within their bodies! Realm barriers were shattered one after another with unstoppable force!

Once, some of them were still at the levels of Dou Practitioner or Dou Huang; the gap between them was like clouds and mud.

But at this moment, after experiencing this double baptism of energy, everyone’s cultivation reached an unprecedented height! Even the weakest group was now firmly standing at the Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak!

And those with deep foundations, like Xiao Xun Er, Cai Lin, Yun Ziyi, Ying, Liu Qing, and Tang Huo’er, were pushed by this force to break through their shackles in one go, entering the realm of Initial Half-Saint just like Yun Xiancheng!

Although a chasm that could make countless geniuses lament for a lifetime still existed between the Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak and Initial Half-Saint.

But for Yun Xiancheng’s massive harem group, the gaps that once spanned several major realms had now been infinitely narrowed. Yun Xiancheng silently calculated that as long as three more wives broke through to the Dou Sheng realm—

Then, the combined energy feedback from five Dou Shengs would be enough to forcibly push every member of the harem onto the throne of a One-Star Dou Sheng!

At that time, a legion composed of dozens of Dou Shengs... that image was quite nice. Just then, a sudden change occurred!

The stable void space on the outskirts of Ancient Dragon Island suddenly fluctuated violently, and three enormous space rifts were forcibly torn open! Following that, three massive armies, led by three equally powerful dragon tribesmen, swarmed in!

”We pay our respects to the future Dragon Emperor! Hearing that Her Majesty the Dragon Emperor is in seclusion absorbing the origin fruit, we have come specifically to protect her! We ask Your Majesty to move and visit our Dragon Islands as a guest—”

—to avoid being disturbed by petty people during your cultivation...”

”Under the West Dragon King, Xia Ao!”

”Under the South Dragon King, Man Yan... Wait, what’s going on!?”

A booming voice echoed throughout the space. The words sounded incredibly respectful, but the perfectly timed intrusion—

—and the underlying aggression in their speech all exposed their true objective: to interfere with Zi Yan’s absorption, or even... have other designs!

However, when they saw the scene in the center of the island, everyone’s voices stopped abruptly, and the ’determined to win’ expressions on their faces instantly froze.

On the deck of the star chaser, two stunning women, both radiating the terrifying aura of Initial Half-Saint, were sparring with Dou Techniques.

One wore black clothes like fire, holding a Heavy Ruler, attacking with broad and powerful strokes, peerlessly overbearing; the other wore white like snow, wielding the Poison Scripture with supernatural skill, eerie and unpredictable.

The heavenly might invoked by their every move made these Void Ancient Dragons, who considered themselves the overlords of the magical beast world, feel waves of palpitations. In the center of the deck, a white-robed youth sat cross-legged, leisurely critiquing their battle.

Beside him, several stunning women with equally profound auras—at least at the Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak—were smiling sweetly as Yan Ran while massaging his legs and shoulders and peeling fruit for him.

What made their eyes almost pop out was that their nominal future Dragon Emperor had already emerged from seclusion!

At this moment, she was kneeling obediently by the white-robed youth’s side, holding a teapot in her delicate hands, carefully pouring tea for him, with a sweet and satisfied smile on her face.

This... what is going on?! How did she finish so quickly? Logically, this should be the critical moment of the breakthrough!?

The two Ban Sheng experts among the arrivals felt their scalps tingle with fear after seeing this bizarre scene! Without hesitation, they turned to tear through space and flee!

However, it was too late.

”Hmph! A bunch of rebellious subjects. Since you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving!”

Third Elder Zhu Li of East Dragon Island had appeared behind them with the elites of East Dragon Island at some point, his aged voice filled with icy killing intent.

At the same time, a lazy yet supremely majestic female voice drifted from the star chaser.

”Space Lock.” It was Yao Chan!

She didn’t even show herself; with just a thought, this One-Star Dou Sheng and Emperor Realm Soul expert completely transformed the space for tens of thousands of miles into an insurmountable cage!

Immediately after, nearly ten newly advanced Initial Half-Saints, including Xiao Xun Er, Cai Lin, and Yun Ziyi, flickered like ghosts and appeared in three directions, completely cutting off all their paths of retreat!

”It’s over...” Xia Ao and Man Yan looked at each other, both seeing deep despair in the other’s eyes. One One-Star Dou Sheng, nearly ten Initial Half-Saints, plus a One-Star Dou Sheng Dragon Emperor...

Such a luxurious lineup—not to mention them, even if the Three Great Dragon Kings came in person, they would likely only end up dying with regret on the spot!

”Your Majesty, these fellows are merely the lackeys of the fake kings who attempted to split our clan after the previous Dragon Emperor disappeared,” Elder Zhu Li said with a cold expression as he flew to Zi Yan’s side.

”In my opinion, there’s no need for words with these rebellious minions; just execute them immediately!” ”That is inappropriate.”

To everyone’s surprise, the one who spoke up in refusal was actually Yun Xiancheng.

He slowly stood up, his gaze calmly sweeping over the nearly thousand terrified Void Ancient Dragon soldiers below, and said indifferently, ”Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. They were merely following orders.”

While everyone was guessing her intentions, Yao Chan’s figure appeared giggling in front of the North Dragon Island’s army. Her gaze swept over a dragon clan woman clad in azure armor, looking heroic and spirited.

”Hmm? Peak Dou Zun, pure aura, and still a virgin. Not bad, not bad, she fits my precious disciple’s standards perfectly.” Before her voice faded, she beckoned with her jade-like hand, and an irresistible suction force materialized out of thin air.

The North Dragon Island commander named Qing Yan didn’t even have time to react before she was enveloped by a gentle force, flying uncontrollably onto the deck of the star chaser and landing in front of Yun Xiancheng.

”Disciple, your master thinks this girl is decent, so I’ve caught her for you as a little extra. No need to thank me.” Yao Chan clapped her hands, wearing an expression of ’I’ve worried myself to death for you.’

Yun Xiancheng: ? Qing Yan: ? Others: ?

Abducting a woman by force? Who exactly is the villain here?

”We... do not accept this!” Xia Ao braved the pressure and roared.

Hearing this, Zi Yan merely lifted her eyelids slightly. ”Oh?”

A pressure from the Dragon Emperor bloodline, even more condensed and pure than before, crashed down!

Under this pressure, those nearly one thousand Dou Zun-level Void Ancient Dragon soldiers couldn’t even maintain their footing. They fell from the sky like dumplings into a pot, thudding as they prostrated on the ground and trembled.

However, the two Ban Sheng, Xia Ao and Man Yan, relied on their powerful cultivation to stubbornly withstand the pressure. ”Bloodline does not represent everything!” Man Yan said through gritted teeth.

”Power cannot shake my loyalty to the Dragon King.” ”As you wish.”

Yun Xiancheng’s voice rang out calmly.

In the next moment, a faint, almost imperceptible trace of terrifying baleful aura, seemingly from the deepest depths of the Nine Serene Hells, flashed from within his body. ”Thud!”

Xia Ao and Man Yan, two dignified Ban Sheng experts, had all the spirit in their eyes replaced by endless terror the moment they came into contact with this baleful aura.

Their legs gave way, and they actually knelt down in the void on the spot, prostrating themselves, not even daring to lift their heads. ”We... we are willing to surrender! We are willing to serve Her Majesty the Dragon Emperor and... the Young Master, until death!”

Looking at this dramatic scene, Yun Xiancheng shook his head helplessly. He turned to look at Yao Chan, who still wore a smug expression, and said with a bitter smile:

”Master, by acting this way, you make me look like some profligate son who forcibly abducts women.” Qing Yan, who had been forcibly ’captured,’ was currently in a state of shock.

She stared blankly at the man before her, who was so handsome he didn’t seem mortal, and then looked at the surrounding women whose strength and appearance were both top-tier. For a moment, she forgot where she was.

”Heehee, husband, you’re mistaken.”

Zi Yan intimately took Yun Xiancheng’s arm and looked at the dazed Qing Yan with a smile, saying,

”Since Sister Yao Chan has taken a liking to her, this sister must have her own extraordinary qualities. Why not... let her stay for now and serve as husband’s personal maid?”

Hearing this, Qing Yan...

...was now completely dumbfounded. Everyone could practically see a huge question mark appearing over her head. ”?”

Why is the new Dragon Emperor like this too?

479 Heading to the Flower Sect

Inside the Dragon Emperor Hall, Elder Zhu Li and a group of Void Ancient Dragon high-rankers were respectfully listening to their new Emperor’s decision.

When they heard Zi Yan say she had no intention of staying on the island but wanted to continue traveling the continent with Yun Xiancheng, their faces didn’t show much surprise.

”Since Her Majesty the Dragon Emperor has made up her mind, this old man shall naturally obey.”

Zhu Li stroked his white beard, his expression as respectful as ever.

”However, for the sake of our clan’s bloodline inheritance, this old man has a presumptuous request. I hope Her Majesty and Young Master Yun will grant it.” Yun Xiancheng put his arm around Zi Yan’s slender waist and signaled for him to speak freely.

”The Void Ancient Dragon Clan’s royal line is withered, so Her Majesty’s safety is the future of our entire clan.” Zhu Li’s voice carried a hint of solemnity.

”Therefore, this old man wishes to ask Her Majesty to follow the example of the previous Dragon Emperor and leave behind a strand of your Dou Qi. This way, even if... even if something happens in the future, we can use it as a guide to spend a thousand years nurturing the next generation of the Dragon Emperor, so our clan’s bloodline will not be severed.”

Everyone was stunned by these words.

”You mean...” Zi Yan blinked her brilliant purple eyes curiously, ”I came about the same way?” ”Precisely.”

Zhu Li nodded, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

”Before the previous Dragon Emperor disappeared, he sensed the danger of his journey and left his last strand of Origin Dragon Qi in the Dragon Emperor Hall. That Dragon Qi underwent thousands of years of self-evolution and nourishment from heaven and earth energy before finally giving birth to Your Majesty. However, such a birth process ultimately lacked the proper inheritance, which is why Your Majesty ended up in the outside world and suffered so much.”

On the deck, Yun Ziyi listened with amazement. She leaned lazily against Yun Xiancheng’s shoulder, her golden eyes observing Zhu Li with interest as she asked leisurely:

”From what you’re saying, Elder, you Void Ancient Dragons all... reproduce asexually?”

Hearing this, Zhu Li nodded frankly and explained, ”Starting from the Dou Zun rank, humans can also use Dou Qi to reproduce; it’s the same for all races.” This explanation left the Young ladies on the star chaser looking at each other, seeing both novelty and realization in each other’s eyes. Yun Yan laughed, ”We Amethyst Winged Lions only need to be Dou Huang.”

Zi Yan didn’t think much of it. She decisively forced a strand of purple-gold Dou Qi from her fingertip.

After leaving her body, that Dou Qi actually transformed into a thumb-sized miniature purple-gold dragon. It circled in the air once...

...before reluctantly flying into a warm jade box that Zhu Li had already prepared. ”Alright, everything’s done. Time to go!”

Having finished this, Zi Yan impatiently pulled Yun Xiancheng’s hand and turned to board the star chaser.

As she passed Qing Yan, who was still in her maid outfit, she grabbed her wrist and dragged her onto the deck as well.

Zi Yan puffed out her perfectly developed chest and announced in a mock-mature tone, ”Your job is to warm the bed for my husband. You better be obedient!”

”Ah? Yes, yes!”

Qing Yan was dazed by this sudden arrangement and could only nod instinctively.

Even now, she hadn’t figured out how she had gone from being a majestic Dragon Island commander to a maid who needed to learn how to attend to her master’s bed. Seeing Zi Yan’s smug look, everyone couldn’t help but chuckle.

As the star chaser slowly ascended, this year-long trip to Dragon Island finally came to a perfect conclusion. Just then, a communication jade slip at Yun Xiancheng’s waist lit up; it was sent by Green Savage from the far-off Jia Ma Empire.

”Husband, I have some good news. Some time ago, several factions suddenly appeared here in the Northwest Continent, seemingly with the Hall of Souls behind them, sharpening their blades to move against our Jia Ma Empire. As it turns out, the strongest spies they sent were only a few mid-level Dou Zun. They never expected that now in our home, every sister is a Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak. So, before they could cause any trouble, they were easily rounded up by the sisters on patrol.”

”They even exposed several Hall of Souls strongholds. Now the sisters are discussing going out to take down those places one by one.”

Green Savage’s tone was full of ease and a bit of irrepressible pride. Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but shake his head with a laugh. The Hall of Souls was truly unlucky.

According to their past experience, in a remote place like the Northwest Continent, a Dou Zong could act like a tyrant, so sending a few Dou Zun would be enough to sweep everything.

How could they have known that the current Jia Ma Empire was no longer what it used to be?

In a great mood, he sent messages to Ya Fei, Yun Yun, and the others who stayed behind one by one.

His words were filled with flirtation and teasing, causing the women to reply with playful indignation, either scolding him for being improper or acting spoiled to make him return soon. After some tender exchanges, Yun Xiancheng put away the jade slip and turned his gaze toward the distant Central Region of the Central Plains.

”The next target is the Flower Sect. Yun’er and Yan Ran should already be waiting for us there.”

Considering the omnipresent threat of the Hall of Souls, and to avoid complications from delay, Yun Xiancheng looked directly at Zi Yan beside him.
