Transmigrating into Battle Through the Heavens

Monster Beast Mountain Range,

When Ling Li opened his eyes again, he saw lush green leaves and glaring sunlight streaming down through them.

I didn't die? Or did I come back to life? Forget it. No matter what, it's good to be alive.

In a boundless primeval forest, a black-clad youth of fourteen or fifteen opened his eyes, a delighted smile of surviving a disaster appearing on his lips.

"Gurgle..."

The rumbling from his stomach and the needle-like pain in his gut froze the smile on Ling Li's face.

I'm so hungry! Could this body's original owner have starved to death? No, how could someone who starved to death have wood splinters in his mouth? Did this guy chew bark before he died?

Damn it! He had to find real food as soon as possible, or he would starve to death just after being reborn!

Ling Li looked around, his gaze falling upon the red fruits nearby. He seemed to be lying in a patch of shrubs, and the branches before him were laden with plump red fruits that looked quite appetizing.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Li swallowed, then used the last bit of strength in his body to laboriously raise his arm. Opening his mouth, he grabbed the red fruits and stuffed them in, swallowing even the leaves and twigs he tore off along with them.

As the red fruits entered his stomach, Ling Li discovered that his strength was rapidly recovering. Warmth filled his entire body, and without caring about anything else, he used both hands to stuff food into his mouth.

Ling Li did not know whether the red fruits were poisonous, but even if they were, he would still choose to eat them. If he did not eat, he would die immediately. If he did, at least he could live a little longer before the poison took effect.

For someone extremely hungry, gorging themselves was practically courting death. Yet Ling Li discovered that this body seemed rather unusual. He had already swallowed half the red fruits on the shrub—nearly twenty or thirty of them, around two or three pounds' worth—yet he did not feel full at all.

Moreover, as Ling Li continued eating, streams of warmth rose from his abdomen and flowed into his limbs and bones, wearing away the pain from his injuries as his weak body rapidly returned to normal.

In just two or three minutes, Ling Li had wolfed down every last red fruit on the shrub. His body, like a deflated balloon filled with air, had returned to normal.

Once full, Ling Li stood up. As he reviewed the additional memories in his mind, he surveyed the primeval forest-like surroundings.

Dou Qi Continent? Monster Beast Mountain Range? Dou Qi? Did I transmigrate into the world of Battle Through the Heavens?!

It seemed pretty good. Although this world had no dazzling magic, it had developed Dou Qi to its very pinnacle. Because of that, in this world, as long as one possessed strength, wealth, power, and women were all within easy reach!

However, what Ling Li needed to consider now was how to stay alive. According to the additional memories, he should currently be in the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

The Monster Beast Mountain Range resembled a primeval forest, almost entirely covered by towering vegetation. Moreover, the terrain here was far from flat. Mountains and cliffs could be seen everywhere, which was why this place was also known as the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

In his previous life, Ling Li had watched quite a few wilderness survival shows, but he was certain that if he spent one night in a place like this, then barring any surprises, he definitely would not live to see tomorrow.

What lived in the Monster Beast Mountain Range were naturally not ordinary wild beasts, but monster beasts that could likewise use Dou Qi! The reason that Flame Flame guy had dared to roam so freely through the Monster Beast Mountain Range was not because the monster beasts were weak, but because Yao Chen, whose strength far surpassed that of a beginner village, had his back.

Although Ling Li currently felt that he was in excellent condition, with strength likely close to ten times that of an ordinary adult, as for that so-called Dou Qi, he could sense a dense, profound aura within his Dantian and sea of qi. It had even formed a Dou Qi vortex, so he had clearly entered the Dou Zhe rank. However, Ling Li could not find the slightest bit of information about Dou Qi in the original Ling Li's memories. There were no memories of cultivation, much less any memories of using Dou Qi.

This could not be blamed on the body's original owner. In those memories, the body's owner was either eating or on his way to eat. Bark, weeds, even the dirt on the ground—so long as it was edible, none escaped his mouth. As someone who struggled for survival day and night, how could he have had the time to cultivate that so-called Dou Qi?

However, this body's constitution was somewhat special. It seemed that its strength could be increased simply by eating. The original Ling Li had thus reached the Dou Zhe realm, but after becoming a Dou Zhe, this body's appetite had increased tremendously, ultimately causing the original Ling Li to starve to death.

"Is it going to end just as it begins? Fine. If I don't run into any monster beasts, I can at least live a few more days." Ling Li could not help thinking.

Clearly, ordinary food could no longer meet this body's energy needs. If he could not find food with sufficient energy, he would very likely starve to death just like the original Ling Li.

Yet Ling Li did not feel the slightest bit sad. He had already died once, and coming back to life was already incredibly lucky, even if this transmigration might be short-lived.

Come to think of it, what did dying feel like back then? I don't remember. What a pity. A life only gets one chance to die, yet I didn't remember it. But when I die this time, I definitely have to remember it clearly!

Just as Ling Li's thoughts ran wild, a stream of information suddenly appeared in his mind, and a pale blue, translucent panel appeared before his eyes:

"Transmigrator detected..."

"Window No. 09 activating..."

"System binding successful!"

"Eh, there's even a system? Looks like I probably won't die." Ling Li's lips curled into a smile, revealing teeth stained red by the fruits.

If he could stay alive, then even doing certain crazy things would be acceptable. Wasn't being alive good? If he could live, why would he choose to die?

Besides, with this cheat that he did not yet know the use of, perhaps he might not become famous throughout the continent in the future, but living a decent life in this world should not be a problem, right? Even if this system were some great expert's toy, even if he were merely a pawn and everything he did only benefited someone else, he would accept it. He had enjoyed himself anyway, so what did it matter if he was used a little?

After studying it for several minutes, Ling Li finally confirmed that the system currently seemed capable only of displaying his personal information. It had no other functions whatsoever; it could not even give him a piece of bread.

Still, the information listed by the system was quite comprehensive, especially the three words "Devouring Spirit Clan" in the bloodline section, which made Ling Li thoughtful.

"Devouring Spirit Clan? Wasn't this race jointly exterminated by the Ancient Eight Clans? Its clan leader also seemed to have been devoured by Void Devouring Flame to help the Soul Clan preserve its Dou Di bloodline." Ling Li stroked his chin as he thought.
