Battle Through the Heavens: Rebirth of the Full-level Emperor Yan

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 The Ancient Tomb Opens



The moment that immense Soul Power erupted, dust and leaves within dozens of feet around Xiao Yan were instantly sent flying, only to slowly descend after traveling some distance.

Meanwhile, in a cave several dozen miles away from Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor was sitting with Little Blue, the Blue Eagle.

Her gaze swept over the small expanding dot in the distance, and Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes flickered, clearly realizing that the commotion was caused by Xiao Yan.

However, with her current strength, she naturally couldn't tell what Xiao Yan was doing, only vaguely sensing that he seemed to be brewing something terrifying.

Immense Soul Power frantically spread out from within his body, Xiao Yan's eyes were tightly shut, and his perception began to explore the space within several miles, following this vast amount of Soul Power.

With Xiao Yan's current strength, it was naturally still difficult to unleash such immense Soul Power.

However, with his terrifying experience from his previous life and his mastery of the Laws of space, even when borrowing Yao Lao's Soul Power to explore the spatial nodes here, he was still more skilled than Yao Lao himself.

Upon reaching the Realm of Dominator (God), the understanding of space has already surpassed ordinary people; it is an understanding that is almost akin to the Dao, almost akin to the Law.

Especially Peak Gods of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's Realm, they are only one step away from achieving the terrifying level where 'a single flower contains a world, and a single tree embodies Bodhi'.

Yao Lao had long grown accustomed to Xiao Yan using his Soul Power so smoothly; he casually supplied his Soul Power, even splitting off a portion of his thoughts to continue comprehending the three secret techniques Xiao Yan had given him.

A terrifying will was implanted into Yao Lao's vast and immense Soul Power; instantly, those strands of Soul Power were divided into tentacle-like existences, ceaselessly analyzing the composition of the nearby space.

If it were Xiao Yan from his previous life, he would only need to glance at this place to discern the anomaly here, but even with Yao Lao's Soul Power, the current Xiao Yan could not immediately detect that spatial node.

Fortunately, his understanding of space was incredibly profound; after roughly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his eyes finally opened abruptly.

"It's there, Teacher, lend me a wisp of your Bone Spirit Cold Fire."

Xiao Yan silently roared in his heart, and the next moment, a pale white flame was released from the dark ring.

The pale white flame was incredibly fierce; wherever it passed, it was clearly freezing cold, yet even space itself was slightly distorted.

Such terrifying flames were difficult for many high-Rank Alchemists to easily tame, yet under Xiao Yan's gentle flick of his finger, the pale white flame twisted strangely in his hand like a living creature, finally slowly condensing into an oddly shaped flaming longsword under Xiao Yan's urging.

"Blade of Space, Break!"

Xiao Yan roared, and the flaming longsword was suddenly enveloped by an invisible layer of spatial power, then fiercely thrust towards a certain spot in space.

Under Xiao Yan's control, the pale white flaming longsword did not pass through space like an ordinary object; instead, it seemed to collide with something, abruptly clashing with that spot in space.

The next moment, the flaming longsword strangely plunged into that space, and a moment later, that originally unremarkable space began to slowly distort.

Watching this scene, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, his hand seals shifting as he continued to manipulate the Bone Spirit Cold Fire that had already entered space.

Soon, wisps of an icy aura, like that of the netherworld, began to spread from that spot in space; wherever it passed, the grass leaves on the ground instantly turned into ice sculptures.

"As expected, it's a strong practitioner who Cultivates ice-attributed Dou Qi."

Watching this scene, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, knowing in his heart that this commotion was definitely not caused by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

In his previous life, this fellow seemed to be called White Tiger Venerable.

As he thought this, his hand seals changed again, and the spatial fluctuations grew increasingly violent; after an unknown period of time, the already incredibly distorted space finally showed a crack.

And a moment after this crack appeared, countless even smaller cracks spread throughout this space.

"Crack, crack."

It was unclear whether it was the sound of ice shattering or space shattering.

As the energy fluctuations within grew more intense, the cracks on the space also grew wider and wider, until they were suppressed to a certain point, then finally burst open with a roar!

"Boom!"

Although the hidden icy energy and the quantity of Bone Spirit Cold Fire in this space were not too much, being able to burst space itself clearly meant it was beyond what ordinary strong practitioners could achieve.

As space shattered, terrifying energy fluctuations, mixed with extremely terrifying ice-attributed energy, erupted with a roar; wherever the terrifying energy ripples passed, all plants instantly turned into ice sculptures, then were directly pulverized by the terrifying energy impact.

With Xiao Yan at the center, the entire valley's environment instantly turned into a world of ice and snow, and the residual energy, even after spreading, still made the entire valley's temperature incredibly cold.

After pulverizing a large area of plants and even herbs, a few ripples of energy finally violently crashed against the valley's cliff face, with some even soaring directly into the sky.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan had already set up a Formation in the sky; although the energy ripples were not weak, after intense dissipation, they were merely residual energy fluctuations, their power not even comparable to a full-strength attack from a Dou King strong practitioner.

However, even so, those energy ripples, upon colliding with the nearby mountain walls, still caused the nearby mountain Peaks to tremble slightly.

The trembling of these mountain Peaks was naturally felt with extreme clarity by Little Fairy Doctor, who was hiding in the cave; her gaze turned towards Xiao Yan's direction, instantly filled with shock.

After all, in her eyes, the scene just now was centered on the direction Xiao Yan had left, and a circle of white began to rapidly spread throughout the entire valley, turning everything it passed into a world of ice and snow.

Finally, that seemingly residual wave still caused the mountain Peak beneath her feet to tremble slightly.

As she was thinking this, Little Fairy Doctor felt a chilling sensation, an icy coldness, blowing into the cave entrance.

Under that terrifying coldness, a layer of frost almost instantly formed on the ground.

The terrifying coldness made her shiver violently, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

If she were to be hit by this cold wind, even if she wouldn't instantly freeze into an ice sculpture, her body would probably stiffen instantly, rendering her unable to move.

She retreated rapidly, and just as Little Fairy Doctor felt her eyelashes about to form a layer of frost, a blurry dark figure suddenly appeared before her.

Accompanying the appearance of the dark figure, a wall of pale white flames instantly sealed the cave entrance, instantly blocking the terrifying cold air, preventing even a wisp from entering.

And the residual cold wind, after blowing past the pale white flames, had already transformed into extremely ordinary airflow.

"Sorry, I almost froze you."

A gentle voice came from beside her ear; looking up at the clear face, Little Fairy Doctor secretly sighed in relief while also feeling a little shocked.

"Th-those commotions just now were caused by you?"

Staring blankly at Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor's face still held a hint of disbelief.

That kind of commotion had changed the temperature of the entire small valley; could such a feat truly be accomplished by a human?

"Besides you and me in this valley, who else could it be?"

Watching her dazed expression, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle, casually taking her jade hand; a stream of Dou Qi entered Little Fairy Doctor's body, instantly causing a warm current to rise within her, and the chill on her body was immediately expelled.

"Next, I might go in and explore thoroughly, but it shouldn't take too long."

Looking at Little Fairy Doctor's gradually reddening face, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

"Although it won't be very long, it will probably be one or two days. The icy energy in this valley will dissipate quickly. However, after this ice-attributed energy is released, it will probably be difficult to find any food."

Gently scratching his head, Xiao Yan handed the jade bottle in his hand to Little Fairy Doctor.

"This bottle contains three Satiety Pills; if you feel hungry or cold, take one."

The so-called Satiety Pill, as its name suggests, is a First Grade Pill that can temporarily provide warmth and satiety.

After taking it, one will feel full, and a protective warm current will rise throughout the body, allowing one to stay warm and not hungry for a day, even in winter.

Of course, while this Medicinal Pill can be eaten as food, consuming too much can also lead to some internal imbalances.

However, taking it for a few days in the short term will not cause much impact. The reason this Medicinal Pill is rarely seen is mainly because it is too expensive.

One pill can only keep one full for a day, but its price is equivalent to several years of income for an ordinary family; how could ordinary people afford it?

Only the awkward Ranks of Dou Shi and Great Dou Shi would often keep two in reserve, because although their need for warmth and satiety is greatly reduced, they have not yet reached the Realm where they can go without eating or drinking.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan gently rubbed Little Fairy Doctor's head, then disappeared from his original spot again.

As Xiao Yan disappeared, the flame wall also gradually dissipated; although there was no longer the roaring wind filled with ice-attributed energy, the entire valley, in the middle of summer, became freezing cold, still making one feel incredibly strange.

Feeling the occasional cold wind blowing into the mountain, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but shiver slightly; at this moment, she was only wearing a thin white dress, and with her low cultivation, she naturally couldn't resist this cold.

She exhaled a breath of cold air, quickly took a Satiety Pill, and felt the warm current rising within her body gradually dispel the coldness; only then did Little Fairy Doctor lower her gaze to the center of the valley.

She saw that at some point, a dark void had appeared there.

Although with her current eyesight she couldn't clearly see what it was, her intuition told her that the existence of such a thing must far exceed the Rank she could currently access.

Recalling the commotion Xiao Yan had caused earlier, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but shake her head gently.

What a strange and magical fellow.

And while Little Fairy Doctor's heart was filled with doubts, Xiao Yan's figure had already quietly arrived before the dark expanse that Little Fairy Doctor had seen.

It turned out that the so-called dark expanse was actually a spatial gate with a diameter of nearly ten zhang.

One could even say that the spatial gate was somewhat crude; it was only slightly stronger than the spatial wormholes constructed by Dou Zun strong practitioners, but it was still inferior to the spatial gates found in Dou Saint ruins.

However, it made sense; this was, after all, merely a remnant technique of a Half-Saint, still far inferior to a true Dou Saint.

"Crossing this spatial gate, perhaps it will lead to the tomb of that Half-Saint strong practitioner."

A light flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but without any hesitation, he directly stepped into it.

Although he hadn't paid too much attention to this Ancient Tomb in his previous life, the strong practitioner who obtained the Legacy of this Ancient Tomb decades later had actively pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Mansion Alliance after becoming a Dou Zun.

Therefore, during their casual conversations, Xiao Yan also knew that when this Ancient Tomb first appeared, although many strong practitioners had perished, it was due to their infighting over the treasures within.

As for the dangers of the Ancient Tomb itself, they were not too great even for Dou Emperor strong practitioners; as for Dou Zong strong practitioners, there was almost no threat.

Although Yao Lao's current Soul Power was only that of an ordinary Dou Zong, with Xiao Yan's urging, there were truly few people below Dou Zun who could threaten Xiao Yan.

The moment his foot stepped into the spatial gate, the surrounding space began to undulate like a surging river.

This kind of undulation, like ocean waves, posed little threat to life, but ordinary Dou Emperors entering it would probably become dizzy and disoriented from the impact of this terrifying spatial power; even strong practitioners who had just entered the Dou Zong Realm would feel slightly dizzy.

Unfortunately, this spatial tide was like flat ground beneath Xiao Yan's feet; no matter how the spatial tide surged, Xiao Yan's expression remained normal, and each step he took precisely landed on the most stable spot.

After traveling for half an incense stick's time, he had reached the end of this spatial tunnel; passing through the spatial entrance at the other end, Xiao Yan stepped out again, entering a world like one of ice and snow.

This was an extremely vast underground palace; in terms of area, it was probably much larger than the basin above ground.

Within the ancient underground palace, an ancient gate stood silently, towering a hundred zhang high, entirely crafted from profound ice.

Besides this, the walls surrounding the underground palace were also covered with profound ice radiating a terrifying coldness, looking extremely sturdy.

Presumably, even if Dou Zong strong practitioners were to fight fiercely here, they wouldn't cause too much damage to this underground palace; Xiao Yan was quite confident about this point.

Because before him, there were indeed dozens of ice sculptures of various shapes standing silently.

And on that crystal-like icy gate, several large characters were clearly written.

"Defeat the ice sculptures, those of appropriate age, may obtain the tomb of this Venerable, and have a chance to obtain this Venerable's Legacy!"

Watching this scene, a faint smile also appeared on Xiao Yan's lips; although it was a Half-Saint of ice attribute, these conditions seemed tailor-made for him.

As he was thinking this, he heard a series of cracking sounds; Xiao Yan looked down and saw that the eyes of the dozens of ice sculptures on the ground were now beginning to glow with an eerie red light.

And accompanying the illumination of these red lights, those ice sculptures that had been standing still now began to move one after another.
