Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Reaching out and tugging at the cloak, Lei Dong, who had released the seal, glanced at the situation in the field through the brim of the cloak. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Yun Ling, who was caught off guard and took his attack but seemed to be almost unaffected. He gritted his teeth slightly.

(Damn, I met a tough guy.)
Lei Dong pulled his hood to make sure his face would not be exposed. If it weren't for Xun'er's cloak that could hide his identity and bloodline, Lei Dong would never have exposed his true strength so conspicuously.

(That Xiao Yan doesn’t seem to be here.)
Lei Dong glanced at Cai Lin and the others, two women and an old man, none of them matched the image of Xiao Yan that Xun'er had described to him, but at least he could be sure that these people were in the same group with Xiao Yan.

Finally, Lei Dong looked at Yun Ling with his brows tightly furrowed.

The black flame that had never been seen before was definitely a strange fire, and it was definitely of extraordinary grade. At least Lei Dong could feel it clearly. Even the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame possessed by Xun'er could not compare with it.

"Thank you for your help, may I ask who you are?"

Ancestor Huoyun looked at Lei Dong and asked. Lei Dong glanced at him and responded indifferently.

"I am just here to help you, there is no need to delve into details."

In order to prevent others from suspecting his identity through Xun'er, Lei Dong only gave this simple reply. As for Xun'er, he hid in the dark. After all, everyone outside knew that Xun'er came in with him. If Xun'er appeared, he would definitely follow. After a conversation, they would be able to guess the truth. In this case, there was no point in hiding his identity.

When Ancestor Huoyun and the other two heard Lei Dong's answer, they did not ask any further questions. Only Ancestor Huoyun thanked him in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your help."

The three of them did not doubt whether Lei Dong was a member of the Soul Palace, or rather, there was no need to doubt it under the current circumstances.

After all, Yun Ling was obviously suppressing the three of them. It was meaningless to have an extra assistant at this time. Instead, they needed someone of the same level to share the pressure, so that they could have a chance of winning. More importantly, they did not feel the damp fighting spirit from Lei Dong that was similar to that of the Soul Palace.

"Here comes another one."

Yun Ling glanced at Lei Dong who was hiding under the cloak. Although she felt that Lei Dong's bloodline was a little strange, she couldn't sense more with the strength of this body, so she put it out of her mind.

"This is getting a little interesting. Let's go together." Yun Ling smiled contemptuously, raised his hand and waved at the few people, narrowed his eyes slightly, "See how far you can force me now."

At the same time, in the soul space of the ancient Bodhi tree, the battle between the four peerless powerful men and the ancient Bodhi tree is still going on.

However, the current situation is obviously not so smooth for the four people who are the opponents of the ancient Bodhi tree.

At this moment, the place has fallen into a chaotic void. The soul has been fighting on the front line against the ancient Bodhi tree from beginning to end. The fierce fighting spirit that was enough to destroy half of Zhongzhou continuously bombarded the ancient Bodhi tree, and the ancient Bodhi tree blocked it all with just one hand from beginning to end, and even had enough strength to fight back, heavily knocking the soul back thousands of miles.

At the same moment, Yunying's figure flashed to the side of the ancient Bodhi tree, and her palm was filled with black fighting spirit that had the power to cut through the sky and destroy the earth. She slashed down at the ancient Bodhi tree fiercely. This was the first time in thousands of years that Yunying had used all his strength in battle.

However, even with Yunying's full-strength attack, the ancient Bodhi tree only glanced at it, raised its arm to cover its fighting spirit, and easily blocked the attack, causing Yunying's scarlet pupils to shrink slightly. This was the first time that Yunying, who had always been playing around in the world, felt so shocked by something other than Xiao Yan.

Then the ancient Bodhi tree struck Yunying with its backhand. Yunying reacted immediately, and barely avoided the attack with a difficult turn of body. She retreated without slowing down at all, distanced herself from the ancient Bodhi tree, and stared urgently at the ancient Bodhi tree in front of her, which could easily block their attack without making any big moves from beginning to end.

Is this the power of the Doudi?
There was a fiery flash in Yunying's scarlet eyes. During the battle, Yunying had already known that nearly half of the power of the ancient Bodhi tree was in Zhong Meng and Liu Di. Even so, the ancient Bodhi tree could still easily deal with the joint siege of the four peerless powerhouses.

Yunying could almost conclude that if the ancient Bodhi tree was at its peak strength, even if there were twice or even ten times the number of people, they would not be enough for him to defeat it alone.

The Dou Emperor and the Dou Saint are fundamentally not the same species.

Compared to Yunying and Hunling, although Zhong Meng and Liu Di received the power from the ancient Bodhi tree, perhaps because they were once Dou Emperors and had experience in dealing with Dou Emperors, they were not as embarrassed as Yunying and Hunling when facing the ancient Bodhi tree, but they were not much better off either.

Even with the help of Yunying and the soul, Zhong Meng and Liu Di were unable to hit the ancient Bodhi tree from beginning to end. This was enough to prove that in the face of a huge gap in strength, no matter how rich the experience was, it was almost equivalent to zero.

Bang!
The couple's joint attack was once again easily broken by the ancient Bodhi tree. The couple both pushed to Yunying's side, breathing slightly, and constantly thinking in their minds how to defeat the ancient Bodhi tree in front of them.

"Speaking of which, the gap is really huge." Liu Di showed a helpless smile, "Bodhi used to be the weakest among the three of us, but now even if we join forces, we can't shake him at all."

"It's not your character to talk about your past achievements, Liu Di. Instead of wasting time on this, you'd better think of a way to stop him."

Zhong Meng was breathing slightly. At this time, the soul that had been driven out before also rushed back, grinning at the ancient Bodhi tree above and cursing at Yunying.

"Hey, hey, hey, I say, this guy doesn't have any weaknesses or anything? He's much more difficult to deal with than your father!"

"."

Yunying remained silent, then looked at Zhong Meng and Liu Di.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you two use fighting skills or anything like that. Didn't the ancient fighting emperors practice that?"

"Fighting skills?" Zhong Meng and Liu Di were both stunned. They looked at each other, and then Zhong Meng replied slowly, "Yes, but it's quite troublesome to use. In fact, even in the Dou Emperor War, very few Dou Emperors used fighting skills in battle. Even if they did, they were mostly behind the battle line."

After these words were spoken, Yunying and Hunling raised their eyebrows slightly, and question marks formed in their minds.

Are fighting skills difficult to use?

Moreover, Zhong Meng also said that it is rarely used in battle. What is the point of fighting skills if they are not used in battle?
"But you are right." Zhong Meng frowned and looked up at the ancient Bodhi tree. "In this situation, we should not use fighting skills."

Zhong Meng did what he said without any delay. Liu Di, who was standing by, also had something in mind and said to Yunying and Hunling.

"You two, please hold him back for a while. Zhong Meng and I will show our fighting skills."

"Huh? Are you kidding me?!" As soon as Liu Di said this, the soul exploded, "Do you think too highly of us or underestimate him? Just now, the four of us joined forces to attack him but he didn't move much. Now you want two of us to hold him back?"

There was a lot of resentment in Hunling's tone. Before Liu Di could respond, Yunying raised her hand and pressed Hunling's shoulder, looking at Liu Di and answered.

"I understand. We will try our best."

"No? Are you crazy???"

The soul stared at Yunying in astonishment, and the latter looked at her and said softly.

"Or do you have any other ideas?"

"."

Without a doubt, the soul fell silent, and Liu Di nodded seriously.

"Then it's up to you!"

Then Liu Di and Zhong Meng closed their eyes together, stood with their hands in front of them, and muttered something.

“To become an emperor, one is blessed by heaven and earth, crowned with the prestige of an emperor, and can destroy, attain nirvana, and overturn all things in the world, with supreme talent to dominate all living beings.” Listening to the words chanted by the two men and watching them closing their eyes and concentrating, Yunying understood in her heart why so few Dou Di used fighting skills in the Dou Di war.

The fundamental reason is that the fighting skills they talk about and the fighting skills nowadays may not be the same thing at all.

"Let's go and stop him." Yunying said, smiling at the soul, "Or do you dare not?"

Obviously, Yunying knew very well what kind of personality Hunling had. As expected, Hunling was immediately aroused when these words came out.

"I don't dare? Who are you looking down on?" The soul looked ferocious, and leaped upwards, "There is nothing in this world that I don't dare to do!"

Seeing the soul rushing up, Yunying smiled slightly and followed closely behind it, staring at the ancient Bodhi tree that had not made any movement from beginning to end, with a frown on her face.

The reason why Yunying said that she and the soul should stop the ancient Bodhi tree was not only because there was really no other way now and that following the rules would only result in a loss, but also because Yunying had clearly sensed something unusual from the previous fight.

The ancient Bodhi tree in front of them might not want to win so much, otherwise they would have already been lying on the ground, without even a chance to discuss tactics.

Although Yunying was not sure what the ancient Bodhi tree was trying to do, now was not the time to think about the reasons. She had to put her thoughts aside and work with Yunying to do her best to besiege the ancient Bodhi tree.

The result was, of course, the same as before. No matter how fiercely Yunying and the soul attacked, the ancient Bodhi tree could easily take them all.

After a battle, the ancient Bodhi tree still did not move much, but Yunying and Hunling's fighting spirit was almost consumed by half.

However, even so, after repelling the soul and Yunying every time, the ancient Bodhi tree did not stop Zhong Meng and Liu Di from performing their fighting skills, but just stood there waiting for Yunying and the soul to attack again and again, which made Yunying more certain of her previous guess.

boom! ! !
He once again blasted the soul away with a backhand, and the soul's figure flew farther and farther away with a curse. The ancient Bodhi tree stood with its hands behind its back facing Yunying who was about to attack again, and suddenly asked.

"Descendant of the Soul Clan, let me ask you, if you become an emperor, what kind of world would you like to create?"

"."

The sudden question caused Yunying's body to pause suddenly, and then she closed her eyes and chuckled, then opened her eyes again and confronted the ancient Bodhi tree with her scarlet eyes.

"If that day really comes, I think I will destroy everything in this world." Yunying narrowed her eyes and laughed solemnly, "After all, I don't like anything in this world."

Yunying's answer was absolutely sincere. It was her real inner thoughts without any falsehood.

However, after hearing Yunying's answer, the ancient Bodhi tree narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again.

"Do you still think so even now?"

".What do you mean?"

Yunying's expression froze, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she asked coldly, but the ancient Bodhi tree seemed to see through everything and responded slowly.

"If you are really like what you think, then in my opinion, there is no need for you to come to me." The ancient Bodhi tree said in a long tone, "It is precisely because you are not sure about the answer in your heart that you want to ask me to confirm it."

The ancient Bodhi tree put one hand behind its back and slowly raised the other hand, pointing at Yunying.

"Let me be frank with you. You came to me to make your own choice, right?"

Then the ancient Bodhi tree raised its hand and waved it gently. Yunying was suddenly stunned and found that the surrounding scenery was abnormal. She turned her head and saw that the figure of the soul that had rushed back was frozen in mid-air. The same was true for Zhong Meng and Liu Di who were chanting fighting skills below, as if the pause button had been pressed. Yunying immediately understood that this was the work of the ancient Bodhi tree, and at the same time, she was more certain of her previous guess.

Sure enough, if the ancient Bodhi tree really wanted to defeat them, it would be far from enough to describe it as easy. If the ancient Bodhi tree really wanted to take back its power, it could do it in the blink of an eye!

Yunying turned her gaze towards the ancient Bodhi tree again and spoke softly.

"So it seems that whether it was Xiao Yan and his men who broke in or me who broke in, it was all done intentionally by you?"

The ancient Bodhi tree did not answer, but strolled in the air. With every step it took, the chaotic and empty scenery around it changed continuously, from spring to autumn, from winter to summer. The scenery that had once existed on the continent appeared around it one by one, which was so beautiful that it was beyond words.

The next moment, a battle suddenly broke out for unknown reasons. Countless people started disputes and destroyed all the sceneries one by one, making people sigh for the loss of these beautiful scenes.

Yunying also understood very well that neither the beautiful scenery nor the battles that destroyed the beautiful scenery were illusions created by the ancient Bodhi tree, but realities that once existed on the continent.

It was also at this time that the voice of the ancient Bodhi tree slowly sounded.

"People only know that I have three treasures, but in fact, these are nothing to me. It doesn't matter if I give you more."

"My true ability is to coexist with the heaven and earth. It can be said that I am the embodiment of the heaven and earth. Because of this, I can see everything that happens in this world clearly, whether it is the past or the future."

As it spoke, the ancient Bodhi tree looked down at Zhong Meng and Liu Di who were frozen in time, with a look of melancholy in its eyes.

"Perhaps it is because I have seen too much and my personality was influenced by them that I feel disgusted with everything in this world."

"The human race is always in conflict no matter when or where. I have witnessed the ups and downs of humans on this continent over the past ten thousand years. I have watched them personally create many beautiful things for this world, but in the end, they destroyed all these beautiful things at the end of each era. This is repeated in every era without exception."

"Humanity was created only to be destroyed one day. That is why I despair of humanity."

As it spoke, the ancient Bodhi tree looked at the soul, or rather, Xiao Yan who was possessed by the soul.

"But that boy is different."

"That boy is the only outlier I have ever seen. I have been watching him since before I came to this world. I have been watching his life, his actions, and everything he has done so far. I have watched him go further and further on the righteous path he pursues."

"That is why I noticed you, a commonplace world-weary person who should have been ignored by me."

The ancient Bodhi tree glanced at Yunying, but Yunying did not respond and continued to listen quietly.

"You and him, two people who should have no intersection, but you met each other by chance. This may be God's will."

Having said that, the ancient Bodhi tree stretched out its hand, and a little white light appeared in its palm, which appeared in front of Yunying. Yunying seemed to have guessed something, and her brows tightened slightly. The next words of the ancient Bodhi tree also confirmed her guess.

"This is the purpose of your visit. Everything is up to you." The ancient Bodhi tree narrowed its eyes and said calmly:

"I believe that young man will not let you down."

"So go and see it with your own eyes, and then make your final choice, Hunying." (End of this chapter)
