"Hey guys! I've got a new fanfic translation for you. Give it a read and let me know what you think—should I keep going with this one?"

"Eh, is he that weak? Don't tell me I accidentally killed him?"
When Xiao Lin dissipated the Dou Technique, Starry Grand Seal, all he saw was that mysterious person lying motionless in a crater. In truth, Xiao Lin hadn't used power exceeding the Nine-Star Dou Ling realm just now.
However, even so, there was a four-star gap in level between the two sides, and the power of this Starry Grand Seal had already reached the scope of a Low-Level Earth Grade Dou Technique, so naturally, it could instant-kill the opponent in one move.
One must know that among the various nations of the Northwestern Region, the strongest cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques possessed by empires of medium strength generally only reached the High-level Huang Grade.
For instance, the current Yun Lan Sect and the Jia Ma Imperial Family of the Jia Ma Empire.
Although the Chu Yun Empire was slightly stronger than the Jia Ma Empire, it had not exceeded the scope of a medium-strength empire. Therefore, the subordinates of the two major empires generally had never seen an Earth Grade Dou Technique.
The Dou Technique Starry Grand Seal was a derivative created by Xiao Lin back when he was establishing the Starry Canon. After all, only when a Dou Technique matches its cultivation technique can it exert its maximum power!
"Tap, tap~"
Seeing that the mysterious person hadn't made a sound for a long time, Xiao Lin walked close to him and nudged the body with his foot.
"Cough cough~, ugh-wah."
Stimulated by the external contact, this half-dead mysterious person suddenly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Mixed within were fragments of internal organs. However, even if he wasn't dead, the opponent clearly lacked any remaining strength to resist. In fact, if left alone like this, the opponent probably wouldn't last half an hour before kicking the bucket.
"Hey, can you still speak?"
Looking at the other's miserable appearance, Xiao Lin asked while looking down from above.
"I... ugh-wah."
However, as soon as the opponent opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood mixed with organs sprayed out.
Xiao Lin: "..."
He clearly held back his strength, so how did he still beat the opponent into this half-dead state?
It could only be said that Xiao Lin still underestimated the power of an Earth Grade Dou Technique. Actually, this was the result of the opponent reacting at the final moment and using his Dou Qi Armor for defense.
Otherwise, what Xiao Lin would be seeing now would likely be a pile of minced meat. But even so, the opponent's internal organs were now all ruptured, and who knows how many bones in his body were broken.
He was only hanging on by a final breath.
"Alright, it seems you won't have the chance to say your last words. What a pity!"
Although he said those words, not a trace of regret could be seen on Xiao Lin's face. After all, whether this person lived or died didn't make much of a difference to him.
What he truly needed to use was just the opponent's body!
Mmm, in the literal sense.
However, perhaps truly infuriated by Xiao Lin's words, even while spitting out blood and organs, the mysterious person still tremblingly squeezed out a sentence from his mouth.
"Xie... Xie Shan, Sect Leader, w-won't... let, let you go..."
After finishing this sentence, this fellow, whose name Xiao Lin didn't even know, died on the spot from rage.
However, the information he left before death caused Xiao Lin to frown slightly.
"Xie Shan? If I remember correctly, that guy should be the Sect Leader of the Chu Yun Empire's Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate? Why didn't this dead guy say Mo Ya wouldn't let me go, but instead said Xie Shan wouldn't let me go?"
Xiao Lin pinched his chin with his right hand and couldn't help but whisper.
Very quickly, a possibility flashed through Xiao Lin's mind.
"No way? Could it be that this dead guy isn't one of Mo Ya's men, but someone from the Chu Yun Empire's Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate?"
Thinking of this possibility, not only did Xiao Lin not show any sign of fear, but the smile on his face became even more brilliant.
If he previously had only a fifty percent certainty that his plan would succeed, after learning that the dead guy in front of him was from the Chu Yun Empire's Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, his confidence in the plan's success reached over ninety percent!
The remaining ten percent was left for accidents.
"Since this guy is from the Chu Yun Empire, then if nothing goes wrong, he should be a Poison Master, right? No wonder he could pull out poison so casually, and even that final Dou Qi Armor was glowing with a purple light..."
Knowing that this dead guy was a Poison Master from the Chu Yun Empire's Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, many things could now be connected.
How Grand Marshal Mo Ya of the Jia Ma Empire contacted the people of the Chu Yun Empire was nothing more than keeping such a person from the Chu Yun Empire by his side.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
For a major matter like treason, even if it were a confidant, it was likely Grand Marshal Mo Ya wouldn't trust them easily. After all, if a confidant turned around and sold him out, who could he complain to?
Therefore, the person contacting the Chu Yun Empire absolutely could not be one of his own men!
This way, at least if things came to light in the future, he would have some room to argue. However, since this dead guy was a Poison Master from the Chu Yun Empire, it was undoubtedly great news for Xiao Lin.
As for the threat before the other's death?
Heh, it would be fine if Xie Shan didn't come looking for him, but if he really came to his door, Xiao Lin wouldn't mind making it so the opponent didn't live until the start of the original story's plot.
Of course, killing the fellow in front of him this time actually allowed Xiao Lin to reap another piece of good news. That was that his Star Dou Qi seemed to have a flavor of being "myriad-law-resisting."
Just now, when that dead Chu Yun Empire Poison Master threw the poison pill at him, his Starry Grand Seal had actually annihilated the poison mist with the emitted starlight power before it even touched the exploding cloud.
Quite clearly, this was a form of suppression by Star Dou Qi against Poison Dou Qi!
In fact, within the world of Battle Through the Heavens, besides the common Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Ice, Dou Qi attributes also included more niche attributes like Light, Darkness, Poison, and Blood.
Among these Dou Qi attributes, there was no such thing as which was stronger or weaker; it only depended on the user themselves. But there were two exceptions for Dou Qi attributes: the final two, Poison and Blood.
Why say these two Dou Qi attributes were exceptions?
Because if these two types of Dou Qi didn't encounter a counter, the user could often achieve battle results above their realm. But once they encountered a counter, it was easy for them to be defeated by someone of a lower realm!
The ones that countered Poison and Blood Dou Qi the most were Fire and Lightning. Especially the former; when combined with a Heavenly Flame, it was sometimes possible to fight someone an entire major rank higher!
These were the pros and cons of these two special Dou Qi types, Poison and Blood. Now, Xiao Lin discovered that his Star Dou Qi could actually also counter Poison Dou Qi.
This was simply an unexpected joy!
However, happy as he was, Xiao Lin still had to continue executing his plan. Subsequently, Xiao Lin directly split the dead corpse vertically into two halves!
It wasn't that Xiao Lin's methods were cruel or that he did it on purpose.
It was simply required for his plan.
