Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

In the ancient wilderness, Xiao Yan and his group were moving rapidly towards the center.

And along the way, Yao Chen had a frown on his face from beginning to end, his ruby-like eyes constantly scanning the terrifyingly quiet surroundings, his beautiful face constantly revealing confusion and worry, and such a return demeanor naturally attracted Xiao Yan's attention.

"Senior Yao, what's wrong?"

Yao Chen frowned and did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he spoke in a serious voice.

"Everyone, stop for a moment."

As Yao Chen finished speaking, everyone stopped moving forward and looked at him in confusion. Yao Tianhuo also asked in a deep voice.

"Yao Chen, what's wrong?"

"Something is wrong." Yao Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the overly quiet environment around him. "According to the ancient books handed down, after entering the Savage Ancient Domain, one will encounter countless Savage beasts. Some of these beasts are Saint-level and have no reason at all. They follow their instincts to attack all creatures that enter the Savage Ancient Domain. And the number of them is endless. This is one of the fundamental reasons why the Savage Ancient Domain is extremely dangerous."

"But since we entered the Savage Ancient Territory, have you ever seen a ferocious beast appear?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately felt that something was wrong. If it was true as Yao Chen said, then they had been traveling unhindered along the way, let alone encountering ferocious beasts. However, the terrifying aura had never diminished. This comparison was really too abnormal.

It's like the feeling that someone is trying to harm you, but you can't find that person.

Xiao Yan also looked around with a serious expression, and when he shifted his gaze to Yao Chen, he suddenly noticed a shadow emerging behind him. His expression was immediately startled, and he immediately yelled loudly.

"Senior Yao! Watch out behind you!"

However, it is too late!

The moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, a ray of light attacked Yao Chen from behind, instantly creating a huge bloody hole in Yao Chen's chest. Yao Chen's beautiful face lost its color in an instant, and he slowly lowered his head in disbelief at his empty chest. His body went limp and he lost all his strength, and he fell downwards with his head heavy.

"Senior Yao!!!"

Xiao Yan's face was ferocious as he stepped on the void and rushed towards Yao Chen below. He held the falling Yao Chen's delicate body in his arms and looked at Yao Chen's lifeless beautiful face with panic. His soul power extended towards Yao Chen. The next moment, Xiao Yan's face turned pale and his eyes were filled with panic.

The medicine has sunk and there is no hope!
What's going on?! What on earth was that black shadow just now?!!
The sudden change made Xiao Yan's eyes burst with anger, and he hurriedly searched in his ring for the elixir that could save Yao Chen's life.

At this moment, Xiao Yan caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from the side. He turned his head suddenly and saw a hideous beast roaring towards him. The terrifying aura contained in its roar made Xiao Yan feel frightened.

The early stage of three-star fighting saint!

Xiao Yan was completely focused. He held Yao Chen in one hand and immediately took out the Inferno Ruler with the other hand and smashed it at the ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast easily blocked the Inferno Ruler that Xiao Yan threw at him. The huge gap in strength inevitably left Xiao Yan with a huge gap, but it did not attack Xiao Yan again. Instead, it took the opportunity to open its bloody mouth and attack Yao Chen in Xiao Yan's arms. Under Xiao Yan's angry gaze, it bit Yao Chen in its mouth, and swallowed Yao Chen into its stomach the next second under Xiao Yan's horrified gaze, causing Xiao Yan to suddenly freeze in place.

Medicine senior.
"Beast!!!"

Seeing his mentor being snatched into the mouth of the ferocious beast, Xiao Yan's face instantly revealed an unprecedented ferocity, his eyes were red, and his reason was almost gone. He clenched the Infernal Inferno Ruler in both hands and smashed it violently at the ferocious beast in front of him.

【Fengtian】

"Give me back, Senior Yao!!!"

Xiao Yan roared, completely ignoring the difference in strength between the two sides and attacked the ferocious beast. However, facing Xiao Yan's hateful attack, the ferocious beast simply raised its claws lightly and easily took Xiao Yan's Inferno Ruler. The difference in strength was so great that the Burning Sky Skill that Xiao Yan used could not even cause the beast to tremble!
"Damn it!"

Xiao Yan's eyes were bloodshot. He was well aware of the huge gap in strength between the two sides, but he had no intention of backing down because of his anger. He gritted his teeth and roared.

"Eight Extreme Collapse"

"Xiao Yanzi! Wake up!!!"

Just when Xiao Yan was about to perform the Eight Extremes Collapse to avenge his mentor at all costs, a sound containing a deep soul suddenly broke into Xiao Yan's heart, causing Xiao Yan's soul to tremble violently, and the scenery in front of him changed instantly.

After being in a trance, Xiao Yan noticed that the person in front of him was not a ferocious beast, but his wife Zi Yun!
Yao Chen, whom Xiao Yan had witnessed being eaten by the ferocious beast before, was now standing safely behind Xiao Yan, raising his hand and placing it on Xiao Yan's shoulder. Xiao Yan turned back in shock, looking at his teacher who was safe and sound. Even the bloody hole on his chest did not exist. Xiao Yan's eyes were moist and he felt deeply confused. He looked around and saw that everyone else was looking at him in shock.

How is this going?

"Hiss, Xiao Yan, why are you suddenly throwing a ruler at me?"

Zi Yun swung her arms with a grin. Facing Xiao Yan's sudden attack just now, Zi Yun reacted immediately, but she did not dare to use her Dou Qi for fear of hurting Xiao Yan. She used her arms to resist Xiao Yan's Burning Sky Blow.
I have to say, it hurts quite a bit!

"Xiao Yan, what happened to you just now?"

Cai Lin came to Xiao Yan's side, her eyes revealing deep worry, which made Zi Yun grin in displeasure.

"Hey, hey, hey! Shouldn't I be the one who's worried? I was the one who was suddenly attacked just now!"

Just now in their perspective, Xiao Yan suddenly and inexplicably took out the Inferno Ruler and smashed it towards Zi Yun who was closest to him, and even used the Burning Heaven Technique. It seemed that if Yao Chen hadn't stopped him, Xiao Yan would have directly activated the eighth level of the Eight Extremes Collapse.

Just when Zi Yun was dissatisfied, Yao Chen spoke in a deep voice.

"It's an illusion. There is something here that can affect people's minds. We are all Saint-level and can be immune to it, but there is no doubt that Xiao Yanzi was hit just now."

After hearing Yao Chen's explanation, Xiao Yan finally understood what had just happened and couldn't help but take a breath.

Hallucination?

Was that real scene just now an illusion?

The scene of Yao Chen’s chest being pierced just now appeared in Xiao Yan’s mind. He couldn’t help but feel his hands and feet go cold, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's just an illusion
"Ziyun, I'm sorry."

Xiao Yan looked at Zi Yun with a deep expression, feeling guilty. Zi Yun, who had just complained, waved her hand carelessly, looking like she didn't care at all. Yao Chen then spoke again to Xiao Yan and warned him, "Xiao Yanzi, always use your soul to protect yourself. Don't let your guard down. If you fall into hallucinations again when you encounter other things later, it will be troublesome."

"Ok!"

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, and immediately protected his soul power around his body as Yao Chen instructed. Ancestor Huoyun frowned, looked at Yao Chen and asked softly.

"It can make Dou Zun fall into hallucination. Is it also caused by the Savage Ancient Domain?"

"No, I don't think it has anything to do with the Savage Ancient Domain. At least according to the records, there shouldn't be any areas in the Savage Ancient Domain that can cause people to fall into hallucinations." Yao Chen shook his head slightly, and then said, "Compared to the Savage Ancient Domain, I think this is more like the work of the Ancient Bodhi Tree."

As he spoke, Yao Chen frowned his beautiful eyes.

"Ancestor Huoyun, you told me about your Burning Flame Valley's record of the Ancient Bodhi Tree before. It said that the Ancient Bodhi Tree had fought with the Dou Emperor before, and that the Dou Emperor poured all the negative emotions and resentment of his soul onto the Ancient Bodhi Tree before he died. Judging from what happened to Xiao Yanzi just now, this record should be true."

"Xiao Yan was just corroded by the resentment left in the ancient Bodhi tree. That's why he saw an illusion that he couldn't accept, and his mind was blinded."

After hearing Yao Chen's narration, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel frightened again.

The remaining resentment of the Dou Emperor has clearly lasted for tens of thousands of years, but it can still easily erode his soul. This is too terrifying.

"Hey! There seems to be some movement over there!"

At this time, Yao Tianhuo, who was standing in the air and looking out, suddenly pointed in a direction. Everyone extended their perception in the direction pointed by Yao Tianhuo and indeed felt that several powerful fighting spirits were erupting one after another in that distant place.

Yao Chen thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Anyway, we don't know where to go now, so let's go over there and take a look. Maybe we can get some clues about the ancient Bodhi tree."

The camera turned to an area near the central part of the Savage Ancient Domain. Thousands of ferocious beasts gathered there to besiege three figures in the center. A closer look would reveal that there were quite a few semi-saint level beasts among these beasts!
The three figures besieged by the ferocious beasts would be discovered with a little perception that they were all from the Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan without exception. They were the three strongest people in the Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan except the clan leader Huang Tian, ​​the Three Phoenixes.

"Damn it! Are these beasts not done yet?!"

Kun Huang, who was in the early stage of the three-star Douluo Saint level, split a high-level semi-saint-level beast into two halves with one palm, cursing non-stop. The Ying Huang, who was in the late stage of the two-star Douluo Saint level next to him, did not even have the energy to curse, and was concentrating on fighting against the beasts that kept attacking.

Although it is rare for ants to kill elephants in Douqi Continent, it depends on the situation! If the elephant is not strong enough, the ants are not weak and there are enough of them, the ants can bite the elephant to death!

"Big sister! What should we do now? This is not going to work!"

Kun Huang slapped away a ferocious beast and roared at the other side, while the Phoenix who was questioned had a cold expression on her face. As a four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, she easily cleared a large number of monsters with a flip of her hand, resulting in an obvious gap in the surging tide of beasts. However, the next moment more monsters filled the gap and rushed up again without any rationality.

"Stop talking nonsense! Focus on fighting!"

Hearing Kunhuang's roar, Phoenix gave the order so calmly.

However, Phoenix's words were not so much an order as it was more like she couldn't think of a solution, but couldn't just say nothing, so she said these words to try to calm Kun Huang and Ying Huang as much as possible.

Although Fenghuang's face did not show panic, her heart was extremely solemn. She clenched her silver teeth under her red lips and glanced at Jiufeng, who was held in her hand and seemed to have lost consciousness.

Just now, when they were taking Jiufeng to search for the ancient Bodhi tree in the ancient wilderness, Jiufeng suddenly and inexplicably attacked Fenghuang. No matter how Fenghuang called out, it was useless. Fenghuang immediately judged that Jiufeng might be affected by hallucinations, and had no choice but to knock Jiufeng unconscious with a slap.

The next moment after Jiufeng fainted, countless wild and ferocious beasts appeared from all directions as if they had made an agreement beforehand and rushed towards them, leaving them no chance to escape and they could only grit their teeth and fight on.

There are countless numbers of ferocious beasts, coming one after another. Among them are quite a few semi-saint level beasts. They are irrational and fearless of death. They will not hesitate at all because of the death of their own kind.

These murderers are more like viruses than living creatures. They don't care about the consequences, reasons, or emotions. Their only goal is to tear foreign creatures to pieces!

(Although I have heard that the ancient wilderness is extremely dangerous, this is obviously beyond my expectations.)
Phoenix frowned. It was unreasonable that even a four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage found it so difficult. Was it really because of the ancient Bodhi tree?
Just as the Phoenix was thinking, it wiped out a group of ferocious beasts in the blink of an eye. Its power was terrifying, but there were still some that escaped and pounced on the Phoenix, roaring.

"roll!"

The Phoenix glared with her beautiful eyes, and her fighting spirit exploded, shattering these ferocious beasts that overestimated their own strength into pieces.

However, before the Phoenix could react, another ferocious beast on the other side broke through the Phoenix's perception network, and came towards the Phoenix with its teeth wide open to bite it. The moment it touched the Phoenix's skin, the Phoenix turned it into debris.

Although the beast was not powerful enough to hurt Phoenix, it still frightened Phoenix. Since a beast had already touched it, it proved that the situation was becoming increasingly out of its control.

Phoenix had foreseen that if these ferocious beasts continued to pounce on them endlessly like this, it was only a matter of time before they were bitten to death!
boom! ! !
The phoenix was furious, its beautiful eyes glared, and its powerful fighting spirit broke through the clouds, sweeping away the ferocious beasts around it. Kunhuang and Yinghuang looked at the sudden outburst of the phoenix in astonishment, but before they could say anything, the phoenix threw the Nine Phoenixes in its hand over and gave orders in a deep voice.

"You take Jiufeng away from here, and I will carry these ferocious beasts."

After these words were spoken, Kunhuang and Yinghuang both looked frightened.

"Big sister?! This..."

"This is an order! Do you want to disobey?!"

The Phoenix roared in unquestionable anger, causing Kun Huang and Ying Huang to be silent. They dared not say anything more, and the Phoenix continued.

"When my fighting spirit explodes next time, you will take Jiufeng away immediately!"

As he was speaking, the ferocious beasts that had been cleared away surrounded him again. Phoenix put his hands together in front of his chest, his eyes revealing determination, and the fighting spirit condensed in his palms became stronger and stronger.

Just as the fighting spirit in Phoenix's hand was about to explode, a familiar roar suddenly resounded through the sky.

"Senior Phoenix! I'm here to help you!"

Fenghuang's beautiful eyes froze for a moment, and the next moment a young man in black holding a huge ruler came into her sight. His black hair was tied into a ponytail and fluttered behind his head. His thin profile revealed a comfortable look, and his sharp eyes showed firmness.
