Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-510

After summoning out the Purple Cloud Wings, Xiao Yan rushed as fast as
lightning toward the spot where the beast’s roar was emitted from. In
less than ten minutes, he was already near the place where the beast’s
roar resonated from. Moreover, he appeared to be able to sense a few
powerful auras on top of hearing the roar. These auras were strong and
were even around the same as Lin Yan. There were perhaps even one or two
among them who were stronger than Lin Yan.

Surprise quietly rose in Xiao Yan’s heart as he sensed these auras.
That Lin Yan was a strong person who had entered the peak of the Dou Ling
class. By being stronger than him, did that not mean… this place
actually had elite Dou Wangs?

Xiao Yan became slightly cautious as these thoughts flashed in his heart.
He carefully suppressed the fluctuation of Dou Qi within his body, and
his breathing had also gradually slowed. The Purple Cloud Wings on his
back flapped slightly, and his body quietly rushed into the lush green
forest.

Xiao Yan swiftly withdrew the Purple Cloud Wings upon entering the
forest. After which, his hands flashed in an agile manner just like a
monkey. After being careful in this manner for a long while, the view in
front of him suddenly broadened. This was especially so when Xiao Yan’s
gaze swept across a small mountain valley outside of the forest. The
surprise on his face involuntarily became much denser.

Outside of the forest was a small mountain valley that was overlooked by
a mountain. The entrance to the mountain valley was like a gourd. At this
moment, there was a strongly built giant white-colored ape around thirty
to forty feet in size standing at the entrance to this mountain valley.
The entire body of the white ape was emitting an extremely sharp icy-cold
aura. The heavy and coarse breaths emitting from its large nostrils came
out as two tendrils of white fog. Its two arms were also quite long with
each of its claw hands about twice the size of a human head. When the
claw hands were occasionally swung, there would be a couple of wind
blades that violently shot out which were powerful enough to shatter the
enormous rock beside it which sent the rock fragments flying in all
directions. A pair of blood-red eyes were filled with a wild and fierce
killing intent. At this moment, this pair of blood-red eyes was viciously
staring at the six human figures around it.

“It is actually a ‘Snow Demon Sky Ape.’ These people are really
quite bold. The strength of an adult ‘Snow Monster Sky Ape’ is
sufficient enough to shatter gold and split mountains. Although this
large fellow in front appears to have just entered the adult stage, it
could at least be comparable to a three star Dou Wang…” Xiao Yan
immediately spoke with surprise in his heart as soon as he saw that
extremely eye-catching, enormous ape at the entrance of the valley.

“Those few fellows aren’t weak.” Yao Lao’s voice sounded faintly.

Xiao Yan hurriedly swept his gaze over the six people surrounding the
‘Snow Demon Sky Ape.’ When his gaze swept over the badge on the chest
of one person, his expression involuntarily changed a little. “These
fellows are all students from the Inner Academy? Why are they this
strong? Huh? Senior Han Yue is also here?”

At the end of his words, he suddenly let out a ‘huh’ sound. This was
because he suddenly saw a graceful lady standing on the leftmost side.
That obviously cold but alluring silver-colored dress and long, bright
silver-colored hair was none other than Han Yue who could be considered
to have quite a good relationship with Xiao Yan back within the Inner
Academy.

“Why have all of them gathered here?” Xiao Yan frowned slightly.
Although he did not know the rest of the people other than Han Yue, he
was able to gather some clues from their badges. In this Inner Academy,
which students, other than the experts ranked within the top ten of the
‘Strong Ranking,’ would have the courage and resolution to come and
lay siege to a Dou Wang class Magical Beast?”

“Hei, this large fellow is really formidable. Han Yue, is there really
that thing that you have said inside? You better not lie to us in order
to get us to be your free fighters. This ‘Snow Demon Sky Ape’ is a
beast that even some of the Elders in the Inner Academy cannot defeat. If
anyone of us were to fight it alone, no one would be able to beat it.
Once it becomes crazy, we would be faced with quite a bit of trouble.”
While Xiao Yan was feeling doubt in his heart, a rough and crude sound
suddenly appeared. His eyes glanced over and discovered that the person
who had spoken was a man with a strong build and some stubbles on his
face. The latter’s strong build was such that he was taller than
ordinary people by two heads. His large body caused others to feel an
unusual suppression. However, the thing that people paid the most
attention to was an enormous metal hammer in his right hand. Under the
shine of the sunlight, the black color of the metal hammer reflected a
thick and deep glow.

Looking at the green veins bulging on the man’s hand, the weight of
this dark,black metal hammer was likely not light.

“Senior Yan Hao, you can rest assured about this. I am clear about the
danger involved, and would not joke around with this kind of thing. If
any error occurs after this, Han Yue will not shrink from any
denouncement of Senior Yan Hao.” Han Yue softly said. Her voice was as
clear as an icy mountain spring, causing people to have a strange feeling
of icy water flow through their hearts.

“Ha ha, Yan Hao. Han Yue knows how to weigh things when it comes to
such matters. You need not be overly suspicious. If there is really that
thing in the valley, the benefit that we will gain will be quite great.
The grand competition will begin after another four months. If we could
advance our strength during this time, the position of an Elder is
something that we can anticipate.” A clear laugh sounded. Xiao Yan’s
gaze followed the voice and looked over. His heart involuntarily praised
a little. The person who spoke was a handsome, young man wearing
green-colored clothes. The young man’s age was around twenty-six to
twenty-seven years old. At this age, most people had already began to
lose the wild arrogance of a young man. Moreover, it was also due to this
smiling manner of his that caused other people to have a good opinion of
him. He wore his green garment well and carried an elegant demeanor that
caused people to be endlessly surprised.

“Yan Hao?” Xiao Yan quietly muttered this name in his heart. He
vaguely felt that it was a little familiar.

“Lin Xiuya, it is easy for you to say. This is a Magical Beast that
could rival an elite Dou Wang. Even with our strength, it is possible for
us to be seriously injured and die if we are not cautious. Moreover, Yan
Hao only wants to confirm things. After all, no one wants to spend so
much effort and end up in a situation of being empty-handed.” A man
whose face was a little dark rolled his eyes as he explained.

“Lin Xiuya? It is really unexpected that he is Lin Xiuya that Lin Yan
spoke of. Looking at his disposition, it is little wonder why even the
wildly arrogant Lin Yan would have a faint fear when mentioning him.”
Xiao Yan’s heart leaped slightly. This name was something that he had
heard of quite a number of times. Most of the students within the Inner
Academy would carry slight admiration and respect when mentioning this
name. Perhaps this person may not be the strongest in the Inner Academy,
but if one were to discuss charm, it was likely that no one in the entire
Inner Academy could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

“Ke ke, there is no useless person who could entire the top ten of the
‘Strong Ranking.’ Although our true strength may not be comparable to
the ‘Snow Demon Sky Ape,’ the beast would likely be at a disadvantage
if we were to really fight.” Lin Xiuya laughed. His long finger gently
flicked a green-colored longsword he held in his other hand. A clear
sound was immediately but quietly emitted. Following the emission of the
sound, threads of nearly substance-like rotating wind suddenly appeared
around his body out of nowhere, rotating non-stop while emitting ‘hu
hu’ sounds.

“All of you, it is a little childish to have such a pointless argument
now. Since all of you have already followed me here, it means that the
thing similarly possesses a great attraction to all of you. Therefore,
the most important thing now is to first defeat this ‘Snow Demon Sky
Ape’… all of you clearly know about the value of that thing. Once
news spreads, it is likely that there would be quite a number of people
from the ‘Black-Corner Region’ coming over to steal it. At that time,
it would be too late to regret.” Han Yue knit her brows slightly as she
spoke in an indifferent, cold voice when she heard the somewhat
non-uniform opinions.

The few people by the side laughed when the words left Han Yue’s mouth.
They shrugged their shoulders and did not continue arguing. Instead, they
turned their gazes toward the ‘Snow Demon Sky Ape’ in the middle.

“Later, the five of us will act to stop it. Everyone should just use
whatever skills they have. This fellow is not something easy to deal
with. Han Yue’s strength is a little weaker and it is better for her
not to participate in this kind of siege. Instead, you should help us pay
attention to the movements around.” Lin Xiuya tilted the longsword in
his hand and pointed it to the ground as he spoke with a smile.

“Yes.” Han Yue hesitated a little when she heard this before gently
inclining her chin. Her toes pressed onto a huge rock and her figure
withdrew in a light manner. Finally, her lovely body stood straight on
the top of a tree with a wide unobscured view.

“Ke ke, everyone. We have not joined hands for a long while. I wonder
if you have had any improvement.” Lin Xiuya laughed faintly when he saw
Han Yue withdraw. His green clothes shook slightly as a powerful aura
suddenly surged out from his body. Feeling the strength of this aura, it
faintly felt like it exceeded that of a Dou Ling.

“It is really unexpected that even you have one step to go into the Dou
Wang class. You are really worthy of being the champion among our batch
of new students back then.” The large Yan Hao involuntarily sighed in
surprise as he sensed the powerful aura seeping out from Lin Xiuya.

“Haven’t you also touched that boundary layer…” Lin Xiuya rolled
his eyes at Yan Hao as he spoke.

“I have only touched it extremely vaguely, and cannot be compared with
you.” Yan Hao laughed bitterly and shook his head. He held the
jet-black metal hammer in his hand and violently rotated it in front of
him. Immediately, a frightening aura tore the air and emitted a sharp
sound.

The other three people also allowed their Qis to erupt to their limits
after Lin Xiuya and Wu Hao. These people were actually strong people who
were at the peak of the Dou Ling class. From the looks of their Qis, they
were actually not the least bit weaker than Lin Yan.

“This Inner Academy is indeed worthy of being a place in the continent
where the talented gathers. All of these people are merely around
twenty-five years old but they are fast reaching the Dou Wang class. This
kind of talent could be called great. Geniuses who even the Heavens would
indulge upon no matter where one placed them…” Xiao Yan involuntarily
sighed in surprise within his heart as he sensed the five powerful auras.

Appearing to have sensed the fighting atmosphere that had spread over
from the surroundings, the bright redness in the enormous eyes of the
‘Snow Demon Sky Ape’ in the battleground became much denser. His
black metal-like claws heavily smashed on his chest which was covered
with white-colored fur. Immediately, a ripple with underlying strength
that was visible to the naked eye suddenly spread out. Wherever the force
spread to, the surrounding enormous rocks would emit ‘ka cha’ sounds
and would be about to break, producing numerous crack lines.

“Foolish humans. Do not have delusions of snatching the ‘Core
Quenching Body Milk.’ If you leave now, I will spare your lives!” The
‘Snow Demon Sky Ape’ lifted its enormous head. Its blood-red gaze
stared intently at the few people. After being silent for a while, a low,
deep, arrogant, wild, thunderclap-like voice suddenly sounded by the ears
of everyone present.

“Huh? This ‘Snow Demon Sky Ape’ is only at the Dou Wang class but
it can actually open its mouth to speak?” Xiao Yan’s heart felt
surprised at the action of the ‘Snow Demon Sky Ape’ for a moment
before he was abruptly startled, “Core Quenching Body Milk?”

Xiao Yan repeatedly uttered this name in his mouth. A moment later, his
body suddenly trembled. His face was filled with a stunned, yet wildly
joyous look.

“This place actually has the ‘Core Quenching Body Milk,’ a kind of
spiritual item of the land?”
