Chapter 228: The Heaven-and-Earth Great Battle!
"Actually, you don't need to resist us so fiercely. After all, the moment we descended, your fate was already sealed!"
Leighton looked at the cold, sharp gazes of the Dou Qi Continent's people, chuckled lightly, and spoke in a casual tone.
"Our fate is decided by ourselves! Others should not even dream of interfering!" Xiao Yan slowly stepped forward several paces. Facing the bloodthirsty gazes of the numerous Fire Evil Clan members, he showed no fear whatsoever, his expression calm and composed.
"Arrogant boasting!"
Behind Leighton, experts of the Fire Evil Clan spoke with sinister, chilling voices. Their gazes, like sharp blades, swept fiercely over Xiao Yan. Ferocious, savage expressions surfaced on their faces.
"Your Highness Leighton, why waste words with these people who are about to die?! Let's attack together and slaughter them! Then the blood and flesh of this plane will be ours to carve up as we please!" Their vicious, ruthless gazes swept over the multitude of powerful experts of the Dou Qi Continent behind them as they spoke with savage grins.
"Kill!"
Hearing this, Leighton nodded. His gaze gradually became icy cold and utterly merciless. A frigid, piercing voice came from his mouth. In the next instant...
Boom!
Several ten-thousand-zhang blood-red flame lights shot into the sky from the bodies of the Fire Evil Clan experts behind Leighton. Such vast, mighty momentum caused heaven and earth to tremble and quake. Blood-red heat waves howled and shrieked.
"All three armies, heed my command! Behind us is our homeland! They want to enslave our kin and friends, our children and grandchildren! Tell me—can we agree to this?!"
"We will not agree!"
"We will not agree!"
On the side of the Dou Qi Continent, Medusa raised the longsword in her hand, then fiercely swung it down: "If you want to protect those you care about... then, let us fight!"
At this moment, Medusa was like a goddess of war, radiating brilliant, resplendent light in the eyes of the crowd. Hearing her fierce, commanding shout, countless people's eyes turned bloodshot as they roared fiercely.
"Fight!"
"Fight!!"
"Fight!!!"
An earth-shaking, heaven-startling sound swept forth like a hurricane. Among them, the survivors of the Northern Continent were the most stirred. They were the ones who had experienced this catastrophe firsthand; they felt it even more deeply in their hearts.
"Boom!"
The allied forces surged into action at this moment. Surging, torrential Dou Qi swept forth, pouring out like a tidal wave. Battle formations were formed among them. Eyes crimson red, they launched their charge against the Extraterritorial Evil Clan.
"Kill!"
Sharp, piercing shrieks and howls also erupted from within the Fire Evil Clan's great army. Demonic qi surged mightily. Countless demonic shadows also swept forth overwhelmingly, finally directly meeting the allied forces, which surged like a great flood.
Bang!
Two unending, endless torrents collided. This Northern Continent trembled at this moment. Between heaven and earth, Dou Qi and evil qi madly intermingled and clashed.
Fresh blood dyed the earth crimson almost instantly. The scent of blood and the sounds of frenzied slaughter echoed across heaven and earth, making even the setting sun tremble and hide within the layers of clouds.
"Allow me to test the mettle of you ugly monsters!" Zhu Kun laughed heartily. A single punch blasted out. Surging, torrential Dou Qi, carrying a terrifying energy tide, pierced through the void and howled towards Leighton and the others.
Seeing this, Leighton waved his sleeve. A light barrier of evil qi surged forth, completely protecting the group.
Rumble!
The energy tide heavily blasted against the evil qi light barrier. Spray splashed in all directions. The terrifying force seemed as if it wanted to tear this stretch of sky apart.
Seeing this, the faces of the Fire Evil Clan experts beside Leighton all revealed ferocious, savage grins. In the next instant, the group instantly howled towards Zhu Kun.
The several of them attacked together. Such a grand display could be called heaven-shaking and earth-shattering. Although their mouths ridiculed the strength of the Dou Qi Continent's experts, inwardly, they maintained extreme caution. They had absolutely no intention of giving Zhu Kun a chance to turn the tables. The moment they struck, it was a lethal, killing blow!
"Ancient Dragon Sky-Rending Claw!"
Zhu Kun looked at the crowd sweeping towards him. Silver light flickered across his body. With a single flicker, he directly appeared above the group. Brilliant, resplendent purple-gold light erupted...
Bang!
Zhu Kun lashed out with a claw strike. Instantly, the purple-gold energy in the sky transformed into a purple-gold giant dragon, tens of thousands of zhang in size. Roaring, it tore through space and charged violently towards the crowd below.
"You do indeed possess some ability. However, this is still not enough." Leighton gazed at Zhu Kun's offensive in the sky and merely smiled faintly. His pale, white hands abruptly shot out, then fiercely tore downwards through the void. Two streams of black light, deep and profound to the extreme, flashed into existence and actually directly tore that purple-gold giant dragon apart by brute force.
"Swish!"
Simultaneously, a trace of cruel, ruthless savagery flashed through the eyes of the Fire Evil Clan experts below. In the next instant, sky-covering blood-red flames converged from all directions, directly transforming into a giant flaming demonic palm that blotted out the sky and covered the sun. A single slap grabbed towards Zhu Kun.
"Hahaha! Brother Zhu Kun, I've come to assist you!"
Just at that moment, a great laugh transmitted over. Gu Yuan shot swiftly towards Zhu Kun. At the same time, his hands rapidly formed seals. In the next instant, vast and mighty heaven-and-earth energy condensed in the sky, transforming into an ancient mirror that covered and concealed the heavens. Ripples of light flowed upon its surface. Immediately after, an enormously colossal pillar of light shot forth!
"Boom!"
The terrifying energy attacks of both sides collided, all erupting in a single instant. Such energy ripples directly swept through with devastating force, reducing the surrounding mountain peaks, which were thousands of ren tall, into nothingness...
As numerous experts entered the fray, this heaven-and-earth great battle also reached its most intense degree.
At this moment, the sky and ground were almost entirely filled with battlefields that had been split apart...
The earth beneath their feet had long since been burned through by the terrifying high temperatures. Magma from deep underground gushed forth, forming one magma lake after another. Berserk Dou Qi rippled and surged between the clashes of countless figures, causing the magma sea below to continuously erupt with magma pillars hundreds of zhang thick.
The sky was like an enormous meat grinder. Experts from both sides continuously vomited blood and plummeted down, finally falling into the magma and being reduced to ashes by the blazing, scorching heat.
That kind of terrifying energy fluctuation affected the entire Northern Continent. Even people in the Central Plains, the Northwestern Continent, and other places could feel it. Instantly, countless nervous gazes from across the world were cast towards that extremely distant direction.
"I never imagined that in this tiny Lower Plane, besides a Nine-Colored Devouring Heaven Python and a member of the Dragon Clan, there would actually be a human prodigy like you!" An Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection expert of the Fire Evil Clan looked at Xiao Yan and said with a faint smile.
Xiao Yan glanced at him indifferently. At this moment, he clearly had no mood for idle chatter. His body trembled. The Destruction Flame Body was executed. His physique rapidly became crystalline and translucent. Immediately following, his aura also became berserk and ferociously sharp.
His large hand swung. A single palm slapped down towards the opponent. As his palm descended, his fingers also flicked repeatedly!
"Xiao Emperor Palm!"
"Withered Death Finger!"
"Buddha Fury Fire Lotus!"
With the increase in his strength, Xiao Yan could now execute all sorts of Heaven Class Dou Techniques with casual ease. As for the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, that great killing weapon, his mastery of it had reached a realm of supreme, divine skill.
Although Xiao Yan's strength was formidable, the opponent was clearly no pushover either. His body shuddered. Viscous, thick flames surged out from within him, transforming into an enormous flaming shield. Upon that shield were engraved ferocious, savage skull-head patterns.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Several Dou Techniques blasted fiercely and unceasingly onto that shield. Two terrifying forces clashed against each other...
Xiao Yan's Dou Techniques were bolstered by the power of Heavenly Flames. And those Heavenly Flames, at this moment, radiated an undying, imperishable light. This seemed to have a certain suppressing effect on those raging, blazing demonic flames.
Bang!
The demonic shield merely lasted for a few breaths before exploding with a thunderous boom. The Fire Evil Clan expert's body was sent flying violently backwards like a cannonball, smashing into a mountain peak. The entire mountain peak crumbled and shattered at that moment.
However, soon after, boulders burst forth. A black-red figure shot into the sky. He stood in the air, his expression somewhat gloomy as he gazed at the distant Xiao Yan. Surprise and suspicion flickered in his eyes.
"This is..."
The other's heart was filled with shock and uncertainty. He was somewhat hesitant to confirm whether that sensation just now had been that legendary power.
"Whether it is or not... brat, you're dead today! Let me show you the methods of my clan!"
Shaking his head fiercely, the Fire Evil Clan expert regained his composure. He pressed both palms together. Within his pupils, black-red flames blazed madly, as if they would incinerate even his eyes.
Buzz! Buzz!
The sky behind him suddenly began to tremble madly at this moment. Flames frantically converged. Several breaths later, an enormous black demonic idol, tens of thousands of zhang in size, condensed behind him.
That demonic idol's entire body burned with black-red flames like blood. A single glance was enough to see it was filled with boundless brutality, tyranny, and slaughter.
A terrifying oppressive feeling emanated from that demonic idol.
"A Dou Di Body?!"
The combatants fighting in the distance, seeing this scene, all revealed expressions of shock one after another. Some spoke with astonishment and horror. What difference was there between this display and the legendary Dou Di Body?!
But these enemies from the Great Thousand World clearly hadn't reached the level of Dou Di. Could it be that they could execute a Dou Di Body without cultivating to the Dou Di level?!
Xiao Yan watched this scene, his gaze also hardening slightly. He clearly hadn't quite expected the Extraterritorial Evil Clan to be so troublesome. Such methods were truly astonishing indeed.
Whoosh~~
Xiao Yan drew a deep breath. His expression became solemn and grave. He gazed at that colossal entity. His hand seals changed. The earth suddenly split open. Endless magma was forcibly drawn up, finally transforming into rolling crimson flames. They coalesced behind Xiao Yan, eventually forming a colossal, illusory figure.
Dazzling, gorgeous flames swiftly howled out from every pore of Xiao Yan's body, transforming into fire dragon after fire dragon that coiled around the illusory figure.
"A Supreme Dharma Body?!"
Seeing Xiao Yan, around whom dazzling flames soared and danced, a trace of shock and surprise also flickered through the eyes of the Fire Evil Clan expert. He then sneered coldly, "With that neither-fish-nor-fowl Supreme Dharma Body of yours, how do you expect to block me?"
His cold laugh fell. The demonic shadow in the sky took a great stride and directly punched towards Xiao Yan with a simple, straightforward fist. Instantly, the sky collapsed. Endless blood-red flames swept overwhelmingly towards Xiao Yan. Such fierce, violent wind was incomparably terrifying.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the enemy attack head-on, Xiao Yan also snorted coldly. He did not evade. He similarly punched out with a fist. The dazzling fire dragons coiling around him followed the fist wind, blasting out fiercely.
"Bang!"
The two attacks collided with heaven-startling force. That terrifying fierce wind directly shook the many mountain peaks below into powder...
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In the sky, Xiao Yan ultimately suffered from the disadvantage in cultivation and Dharma Body. That ten-thousand-zhang-tall figure rapidly dimmed. He himself also retreated several steps through the void. With each step he took, thousands of zhang of space exploded into a dark, pitch-black void.
Having repelled Xiao Yan, an icy, cold glint flickered in the demonic shadow's eyes. Then demonic qi once again surged and churned.
"Die—"
A cold, stern shout rang out. Viscous, thick evil qi condensed into a single giant demonic finger. It pressed down, exploding the void, pressing fiercely towards the retreating Xiao Yan. At the tip of that demonic finger, sinister, evil patterns flickered.
Facing this terrifying finger, Xiao Yan's expression remained calm. An ancient fluctuation transmitted from within his body. He clenched his palm, and the Heavy Xuan Ruler appeared in his grasp.
Wielding the Heavy Xuan Ruler, he abruptly slashed down!
The ruler fell. There was no fluctuation of power whatsoever, as if it contained not the slightest trace of force.
Crack!
Yet, with this seemingly utterly powerless strike, it directly cleaved vertically through that terrifying demonic finger. Then countless people watched in horror as that demonic finger was forcibly chopped into two halves at this very moment.
Whoosh!
"That's... the Plane's Power?!"
The Fire Evil Clan experts in the midst of battle all turned their heads one after another. Their gazes towards Xiao Yan carried a trace of faint shock... and wild ecstasy!
"The Plane Seed!"
"Hahaha! This place's Plane Seed has appeared!"
"Brat! Hand over the Plane Seed! This thing is not something you can covet!"
Seeing Xiao Yan wielding the Plane's Power, the Fire Evil Clan experts all abandoned their own opponents and surged towards Xiao Yan.
Sensing the enemies closing in from all directions, Xiao Yan's expression was calm and steady. A ray of primal chaos light suddenly swept forth from within his body.
As that primal chaos radiance spread, heaven and earth seemed to resonate at this moment. The boundless, endless power of heaven and earth madly converged at this moment.
"Kill—"
Wielding the Heavy Xuan Ruler, without the slightest flourish or fancy move, Xiao Yan brought matchless heaven-and-earth power crashing down upon the numerous Extraterritorial Evil Clan members.
Soul Realm.
The current Soul Realm was different from usual. Layer upon layer of array protections covered the plaza within the spatial gate. An overwhelming canopy of blood-red light formed a sky-covering curtain that shrouded the sky above.
A blood moon hung in the vault of heaven. It was the most soul-shaking, heart-stirring sight. The blood moon hung high, and all was a sea of scarlet, blood-red color. There was even a faint scent of blood permeating the surroundings.
Beneath the blood moon floated a large mass of figures. At their head was precisely Hun Tiandi.
He sensed the condition within his body. Without turning his gaze, he asked, "How is the situation outside?"
Hearing Hun Tiandi's inquiry, Hun Jing, one of the Hun Clan's Four Demon Saints, respectfully glanced at Hun Tiandi's back and answered in a deep voice, "Clan Head, the outside world has suffered a large-scale invasion from that Extraterritorial Evil Clan. At this moment, the most top-tier powers of the continent have all rushed to support the front lines. It's already devolved into a complete chaotic mess."
"Oh~~~" Hun Tiandi, upon hearing this, wore a strange, eerie smile at the corner of his mouth and asked, "And how is the battle progressing?"
"The strength of that Evil Clan is indeed formidable. Gu Yuan and the others are no match for them. The Northern Continent has completely fallen. The flames of war are spreading towards the Central Plains!"
Abruptly, a divine light flashed within Hun Tiandi's eyes, revealing thick, dense ambition. Then, he was heard to say, "As a member of the Dou Qi Continent, how can such a heaven-and-earth defense battle be without my Hun Clan?!"

Thanks for reading the chapter!
I started a new translation and I would be very happy if you decided to check out my new translation for a rather rare fandom. It's a crossover based on Mondaiji (Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?)
This story has a somewhat similar style to my other translation for this fandom (same author, after all), but it's completely different from any other fanfic I've come across for this fandom! It's set thousands of years before the original novel/anime, and the MC literally plays a part in shaping the backstory of this world. I really enjoyed it—hope you will too!
