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

"Crack, crack."

As sounds of ice blocks colliding rang out, the various ice beasts, each with a unique shape, began to stir.

Low growls, like ancient Dragons awakening, emanated from their throats, and in the next moment, an overwhelming Aura surged from these ice crystal Demonic Beasts.

In Xiao Yan's Soul perception, these dozens of ice crystal Demonic Beasts, the weakest of which were Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts comparable to Dou Kings, with the most powerful few being comparable to Peak human Dou Emperors.

If it were an ordinary strong person, even someone who had just entered the Dou Zong realm would likely retreat when faced with such a number of enemies.

After all, when quantity reaches a certain level, it can, to some extent, overwhelm quality.

However, Xiao Yan was completely different from others. Although he could only borrow Yao Lao's Soul Power, which was similar to that of an ordinary Dou Zong, Xiao Yan's combat experience and the seemingly endless methods in his memory were incomparable to those of an ordinary Dou Zong.

Looking at the numerous ice crystal Demonic Beasts with blood-red eyes and numb killing intent staring at him, Xiao Yan's face showed no fear; instead, it carried a slight smile.

"After Rebirth for so long, I can finally truly warm up."

As he whispered, the ice crystal Demonic Beasts, ranging from a few feet to nearly ten zhang in size, charged towards Xiao Yan with violent killing intent.

Xiao Yan was not surprised by this at all; after all, it was the tomb of a Half-Saint expert, and setting up these Puppets was not unusual.

The White Tiger Venerable leaving obstacles of this level was already quite benevolent, presumably just wanting to select a suitable Legacy holder.

Otherwise, for a Half-Saint expert, it would not be difficult to use Dou Zong-level or even one or two Dou Venerable-level Puppets to guard the Ancient Tomb.

As he thought this, a biting cold wind brought a sharp gust of Qi.

Feeling the gust of Qi, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, and with a strange twist of space beneath his feet, he appeared three zhang away.

The gust of Qi missed, and a Demonic Beast resembling a monkey, less than a meter tall, suddenly appeared in its original spot.

"Fifth-Rank Peak Demonic Beast, Ice Wind Spirit Monkey."

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he looked at the Demonic Beast that landed.

Although this Ice Wind Spirit Monkey was a Fifth-Rank Peak Demonic Beast, it possessed both ice and wind attributes. If it were alive, its troublesome nature would be no less than that of an early-stage Dou Emperor.

However, precisely because it was a dual-attribute Demonic Beast, the Demonic Core of this Ice Wind Spirit Monkey was even more valuable than many Sixth-Rank Demonic Beasts' Demonic Cores.

"With the crude Puppet control methods of the Dou Qi Continent, Demonic Cores are usually used as the energy source for Puppets."

Xiao Yan lightly tapped his foot again. Although he was surrounded by more than a dozen Demonic Beasts, he showed no panic. Instead, he moved leisurely among them, allowing the Demonic Beasts to attack as they pleased, yet they could not harm him in the slightest.

"Looking at the refining method of these ice sculpture Puppets, they are even cruder than my Sky Demon Puppet back then. So, if nothing unexpected happens, these Demonic Beasts probably still have Demonic Cores remaining in their bodies."

A glint appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. Although his revived memories only covered a portion of his life before he left the Dou Qi Continent, his knowledge was at the Dou Emperor level, and he naturally did not think much of such Puppet methods.

Vast Soul Power spread out again, sweeping over the body of each Demonic Beast like tentacles. A moment later, a smile finally appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. With a flick of his finger, the massive xuan heavy ruler finally appeared in his hand.

With another step, his figure merged with space.

The next moment, space twisted in front of a Sixth-Rank Demonic Beast, and Xiao Yan's figure finally shot out from it, his eyes fixed on a certain part of the Sixth-Rank Demonic Beast's body. The xuan heavy ruler, carrying immense force, slammed down fiercely.

"Boom!"

With Yao Lao's current Soul Power, combined with Xiao Yan's ingenious application, even a casual strike was something no level below Dou Zong could withstand head-on.

As the xuan heavy ruler, carrying immense force, slammed onto the Demonic Beast's body, the latter crashed heavily onto the ground like a meteor, slightly shattering the ice layer on the ground.

However, this Ancient Tomb truly lived up to its reputation as being built by a Half-Saint expert. Under Xiao Yan's strike, the ice crystals on the Demonic Beast's body had long since shattered, and even the frozen flesh within had broken apart considerably, yet the ground of the Ancient Tomb did not even tremble slightly.

After being struck by Xiao Yan's ruler, the Demonic Beast's body twitched slightly after landing, then became motionless, unable to get up again.

Xiao Yan's seemingly casual strike directly destroyed some of the Puppet 術's connection nodes on the Demonic Beast's body.

Such a method was probably something even the White Tiger Venerable, who left these Demonic Beasts, could not have imagined.

After all, some crucial operational nodes of Puppet 術 were truly too well-hidden, and even if ordinary people discovered them, it would be difficult to destroy them.

Unfortunately, these Puppets encountered Xiao Yan. Even with only the memories of a Dou Emperor, Xiao Yan's terrifying knowledge was far beyond what a Half-Saint could achieve.

After merely sweeping with his Soul Power once, Xiao Yan had already discovered the weaknesses of these Puppets.

This was the benefit brought by his immensely rich and powerful experience.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

His figure moved like a ghost among the many Puppets. Each time the xuan heavy ruler fell, an ice crystal Demonic Beast crashed heavily to the ground.

And once it landed, there was no chance of it getting up again.

In just half an incense stick's time, the Ancient Tomb hall, which had been filled with low growls, once again fell into a deathly silence.

"Holy crap, I've truly learned something new!"

Inside the black na ring, Yao Lao, who had witnessed the entire process, couldn't help but let out a curse.

Xiao Yan's combat experience completely overwhelmed any expert he had ever seen, even subtly exceeding his imagination.

Yao Lao asked himself, even if he personally controlled his Soul Power, resolving so many ice crystal Demonic Beasts would be incredibly arduous. Even if he could defeat these guys, his Soul Power would probably be nearly depleted.

And this was with the help of Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

Yet, after Xiao Yan dealt with so many ice crystal Demonic Beasts, the Soul Power he consumed was not much. This scene made him, a prominent figure of the Dou Qi Continent in the past, couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

"Hehe, Teacher, you will be able to do it in the future too."

Gently tapping the black ring on his finger, feeling Yao Lao's somewhat shocked emotions, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

In his previous life, before becoming a Dou King, Yao Lao had always been the one to bring him various shocks. In this life, it was the other way around.

Xiao Yan found this peculiar feeling quite interesting.

He borrowed another wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Fire, and with a casual swipe, it transformed into a fire blade.

Xiao Yan slowly walked to an ice crystal Demonic Beast, pierced it forcefully, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, carrying terrifying scorching heat, instantly tore open the Demonic Beast's abdomen.

Looking at the Demonic Beast's flesh rapidly burning to charcoal, Xiao Yan sliced it open and saw a pure white, crystal-clear Demonic Core quietly lying within the ice crystal Demonic Beast's abdomen.

"As expected, these Demonic Beasts indeed have Demonic Cores within them."

A hint of joy appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. In his previous life, he might not have cared about these Demonic Cores, but given his current situation, these dozens of Fifth and Sixth-Rank Demonic Cores were a considerable income.

His palm gently caressed the snow-white Demonic Core, and looking at the slightly dimmed Demonic Core, Xiao Yan couldn't help but gently shake his head.

These ice crystal Demonic Beasts had probably been in this Ancient Tomb for hundreds of years.

Even if they had been reinforced with special methods, as time passed, much of the essence within these Demonic Cores had ultimately dissipated, and their quality was naturally far inferior to fresh Demonic Cores.

However, even so, they were still Fifth and Sixth-Rank Demonic Beast Demonic Cores, which were quite valuable to Xiao Yan at present.

Moreover, the Demonic Cores within these Demonic Beasts seemed to all be unified ice-attribute Demonic Cores, which were even rarer than ordinary Demonic Cores. Furthermore, a few of the Demonic Beasts were even dual-attribute Demonic Beasts.

Their Demonic Cores, even if some energy had already been lost, were still quite valuable.

It only took less than an incense stick's time to defeat these Demonic Beasts, but it took nearly two incense sticks' time to collect their Demonic Cores.

However, when Xiao Yan placed the last two-colored Demonic Core into his na ring, the smile on his face was already very strong.

In just this short period, his gains were already more than ten times, or even more, what he had accumulated in Utan City over half a year.

He truly wondered what treasures lay inside this Half-Saint's Ancient Tomb.

Xiao Yan currently didn't lack Cultivation Techniques or Dou Techniques, but he was severely lacking in Heaven And Earth Treasure.

As long as he had enough Heaven And Earth Treasure, with his and Yao Lao's Alchemist skills, their cultivation speed could probably reach an extremely terrifying level.

Dou Emperor in three years, Dou Venerable in five years, this might not be impossible.

Therefore, Xiao Yan looked at the crystal-like ice gate, and the fervent look in his eyes grew even stronger.

He slowly walked to the gate, and saw a faint halo appearing above the gate.

After slowly recalling some of the somewhat vague conversations from back then, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. He slowly extended his palm and gently placed it on the ice gate.

As Xiao Yan's palm slowly rested on the ice gate, a ray of light was released from the ice gate, finally merging into Xiao Yan's body.

A moment later, a low voice sounded in Xiao Yan's mind.

"If your age is under thirty, you may enter this Venerable's Ancient Tomb and obtain an Opportunity."

As the voice fell, a terrifying suction force emerged from the ice gate. Under that terrifying suction force, like a black hole, even Xiao Yan, with the aid of Yao Lao's Soul Power, found it somewhat difficult to resist.

With a whoosh, he was sucked into a dark space wormhole.

"A Half-Saint is still a Half-Saint. Even with my rich experience and methods, in the face of such a vast difference in power, I am ultimately powerless to resist."

In the ancient space, accompanied by a soft sigh, Xiao Yan's figure was violently expelled like an object.

The moment he fell into the Ancient Tomb, a terrifying chill assailed him, and the instant he landed, a faint layer of ice began to spread towards Xiao Yan's feet.

After controlling the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to cover his body with a thin layer, resisting the cold Qi that was ten times more terrifying than outside, Xiao Yan slowly turned his gaze towards the true interior of the Ancient Tomb.

And when he saw the interior of the Ancient Tomb, even with Xiao Yan's knowledge, he couldn't help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise.

The interior of this Ancient Tomb seemed to be only a hundred zhang or so in area, but the numerous treasures before him caused even the current Xiao Yan to feel a slight stir in his heart.

A hundred-zhang-long ancient bridge was covered in frost, and beneath the bridge was a cold pond that almost occupied the entire area of the Ancient Tomb.

However, what truly excited Xiao Yan was that the water in this cold pond was not ordinary pond water, but the extremely precious Ice Spirit Cold Spring for ordinary Alchemists!

He recalled that in his previous life, to collect even a small bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Xiao Yan had gone to great lengths, spending a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source to exchange for just one bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Even when Cai Lin broke through her Bloodline back then, she only managed to gather a small pond's worth, yet this vast hundred-zhang-diameter cold pond within this Ancient Tomb was filled with Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

"For a Half-Saint expert, Ice Spirit Cold Spring is not rare. Even an ice-attribute Dou Saint like this one can artificially create Ice Spirit Cold Spring. However, to gather such a massive quantity of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, even a Half-Saint expert would probably find it incredibly arduous."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly burst forth with a sharp glint.

"Unless, this Ancient Tomb itself was built on the spring eye of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring!"

His gaze swept over the pond water, which could be called the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and Xiao Yan's eyes finally settled on a white light cluster on the left side of the pond.

"They even used methods to obscure this treasure?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. Although the treasure born within the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was obscured, with his knowledge, he had already vaguely guessed what Heaven And Earth Treasure had formed near this spring eye.

The Ice Soul Heart Lotus, a treasure of ultimate cold from heaven and earth, born near the spring eye of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, requiring over a thousand years of gathering the essence of heaven and earth's cold to be born.

This item belonged to the same level of Heaven And Earth Treasure as the Earth Core Green Lotus that Xiao Yan obtained when he collected the Green Lotus Core Flame, and was even slightly more precious.

Xiao Yan's Earth Core Fire Lotus Seeds back then only helped in improving cultivation and even refining Dou Qi.

However, the lotus seeds of this Ice Soul Heart Lotus possessed the miraculous effects of purifying the Soul and increasing Soul Power, which was a timely treasure for the current Yao Lao.

In addition, this Ice Soul Heart Lotus was also a main ingredient for refining many Medicinal Pills that prevented Qi Deviation and increased the chance of Breakthrough.

Many Eight-Rank Pills and even a few Nine-Rank Pills could use it.

Xiao Yan couldn't determine if this Ice Soul Heart Lotus was one of the most valuable treasures in this Ancient Tomb, but he assumed its preciousness could definitely rank among the top three.

After all, even for a Half-Saint expert, this item was probably quite valuable.

At the end of the ancient bridge, a bluestone statue stood quietly. The bluestone statue depicted an old man with his hands behind his back, and beneath him, a fierce-looking tiger lay quietly prostrate.

Although it was just a statue, the Aura emanating from it was enough to make many strong individuals tremble, but this Aura was like a spring breeze to Xiao Yan, insignificant.

What truly attracted Xiao Yan's gaze were the dozens of light clusters floating above the statue.

Xiao Yan knew in his heart that these must contain the various treasures that the White Tiger Venerable had collected during his lifetime.

The scene before him was somewhat similar to what he encountered when he went to the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion back then.

Of course, the White Tiger Venerable, whether in strength or generosity, was vastly different from Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

"Compared to Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, I actually hope that these light clusters are all treasures useful to me."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan stepped onto the frosty Ancient Road.

As his foot landed, the originally calm frosty Ancient Road suddenly changed. Large amounts of ice-attribute energy suddenly surged from the Ice Spirit Cold Spring water on both sides, finally slowly condensing into an ice sculpture figure in front of Xiao Yan.

"Young man, welcome to challenge the Ice Frost Mirror Image!" An old voice rang in his ears, and a faint smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
