Battle Through The Heavens: Domination of The Ancient God.

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran stood still and stared into each other's eyes. The dou qi enveloped their bodies, and their momentum continued to rise. 

Two pair of eyes connected, and it was like they could see each other's souls. 

Their relationship could only be regarded as ill-fated. The two clans, famous for their brotherhood, fought together their whole lives and forged the current empire. Now their descendants are engaged in a life-and-death battle. 

The next moment, both leaped forward and attacked at the same time. Xiao Yan raised his black ruler and slashed vertically. A sword appeared in Nalan Yanran's hand, and she responded swiftly. 

'Clang!' Her sword clashed with Xiao Yan's ruler. The next instant, Nalan Yanran felt an oppressive force being passed on from her sword. Her arm holding the sword also shook a little. Sensing this, she covered her sword and retaliated. 

Xiao Yan was pushed back, and he unloaded the excessive force and stabilized himself. His combat experience was no less than that of an elite disciple from a great sect. No, he might be even better than most. 

As the white-colored dou qi rose from his body, Xiao Yan rushed forward faster than before. He instantly used octane blast, and instead of using his flesh, Xiao Yan raised the black ruler. 

Nalan Yanran practiced the wind attribute qi method, and it raised her sensitivity toward the changes in the air. After feeling the oppressive momentum coming from the front, she swiftly raised her sword and slashed forward a few times. The numerous wind blades rushed towards Xiao Yan. 

Nalan Yanran jumped, light as a feather; she floated in the air and raised her sword. 

'Wind Spirit Fractual Sword!' 

Instantly, a couple of swords formed by her dou qi akin to the one in her hand appeared behind her. 

Everyone gasped after they saw this. It was one of the famous dou qi techniques used by Yun Yun. 

Now seeing her disciple performing the same technique effortlessly, how could they not be surprised? 

Everyone turned their eyes toward Xiao Yan; to see how he would respond. 

'Clang! Clang! Bang!' Xiao Yan easily deflected the wind blades and stood where Nalan Yanran previously stood. The stone below him cracked with a bang, and the cracks spread outwards. 

One could easily guess the force behind Xiao Yan's blow. 

The endless battles and trials over the last three years honed his instinct to a terrifying level. 

'Flame Splitting Tsunami!' The moment Xiao Yan stopped, he felt a crisis above his head, and he poured massive amounts of his dou qi into the black ruler, turned around, and slashed up in the air. 

A white-colored energy slash rushed toward Nalan Yanran, who was in the air. She, a Dou Grandmaster, did not have the means to evade it, but she never intended to escape in the first place. 

The illusionary swords circling behind her fused with the sword in her hand, and it glowed in a green light. She lightly slashed downwards. 

'Bang!' The white slash and green sword light clashed mid-air. The energy within it blasted everything in its area. 

As the dust settled, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran came into their vision. Apart from the Dou Emperors, who already knew the result of the previous clash, the rest were shocked. 

Xiao Yan stood straight with a slightly pale face, and apart from this consumed dou qi, he was stable as a rock. 

While Nalan Yanran did not come out unscathed, blood dripped from the corner of her lips. Her arm holding the sword was also injured, and there was a large cut on her arm. 

Beads of sweat formed on Nalan Yanran's forehead; she gritted her teeth, ignored the severe pain from her wounded arm, and stared stubbornly at Xiao Yan. Her bright eyes revealed her determination. 

Worry flashed in Yun Yun's eyes after seeing her current state. Her heart was in chaos; Xiao Yan's presence was like a sword piercing through her heart.

Nalan Jie sighed; even though his heart ached for his granddaughter, he was powerless. The better Xiao Yan performed, the more pity he felt. He could see the shadow of his comrade Xiao Ling on Xiao Yan's body. 'It turns out I am really old,' the Lionheart commander of the Jia Ma Empire smiled bitterly. 

......

"Let's end this." 

Xiao Yan knew his own affairs, although he was not injured, but how much dou qi did he have left? 

"Okay," Nalan Yanran rarely agreed with him. 

She mobilized all of her dou qi, and the wind acted like a loyal servant and formed a layer above her body. 

A large circular illusionary rune circle appeared behind her. Nalan Yanran's body seemed tiny compared to it, yet it released a frightening momentum. 

Sensing the terror power contained in her body, people watching began to sweat, and without hesitation, they retreated. 

Xiao Yan's face turned solemn. He raised both his arms and two different flames flickered in them. A purple flame in his left hand and the 'Bone Chilling Flame' in the right. 

With sweat dripping from his face, Xiao Yan carefully and slowly merged the two flames in his hands. 

Everyone apart from Xiao Ning was frightened after seeing this scene. Moreover, the white flame exposed Xiao Yan's other identity. 

"Boy, stop!" Fa Ma, the head of the alchemy association, shouted. His soul almost left his body after seeing Xiao Yan's suicidal behavior. 

Xiao Yan ignored everyone and slowly fused the two flames into a beautiful lotus. The delicate lotus floated between his palms. His slightly pale face became even paler. 

Compared to Nalan Yanran's terrible momentum, Xiao Yan's side was deathly silent. 

After seeing their stubborn behavior, Yun Leng along with the other elders, surrounded the arena and channeled their dou qi to form a barrier. 

......

'Wind's Peak: Dazzling Sunset!' Nalan Yanran raised her left arm and slashed forward. The frightening sword slash cut through everything in its path. 

'Angry Budha Lotus Flame!' Xiao Yan roared and released the delicate lotus in his palms. 

The lotus soared slowly, and as it flew further, it began to grow. The surrounding temperature began to rise as it expanded. 

'Boom!' The moment sword light collided against the flame lotus, it exploded. The explosion covered the entire arena and rammed against the barrier set by a Dou King and numerous Dou Spirits. 

The monstrous flame released after the explosion covered the entire arena, including Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's figure. 

It made it impossible for anyone to know what happened to them.
