Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 110 Senior Brother and Junior Brother Yao Chen and Han Feng

In the field.

As the energy fluctuations grew increasingly violent, wisps of tangible, pale red, scorching energy suddenly seeped out from the void, eventually coiling around Xiao Yan and spinning wildly. As these pale red energies spun, a sudden gust of wind emerged, sweeping out in all directions. The wind was so fierce that even some rather large rocks rolled several times on the ground.

Now that we've reached this point.

Almost everyone in the audience noticed the extraordinary nature of Xiao Yan's fighting technique.

Instantly, astonished gazes were cast over. The exceptional young talents on the high platform were stunned when they saw the fiery red energy swirling around Xiao Yan like a cocoon. Their expressions changed drastically, and with a series of swishing sounds, almost everyone sat up from their chairs, their faces filled with utter horror!

"Gurgle!"

Someone stared wide-eyed, like a dead fish, at the black-robed youth enveloped in an extremely violent red energy. His throat bobbed, and after a long moment, a hoarse voice, carrying a chilling tone, finally rang out: "What kind of fighting technique is that?"

"A fighting technique that can cause fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth... requires at least... the Earth Rank to be possible."

An elder of the Yunlan Sect tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart and said in a slightly difficult voice.

Upon hearing this, countless people's faces were filled with shock and disbelief. Even the several Battle Kings on Hai Bodong's side were dumbfounded.

Although there is only one rank difference between the advanced Xuan rank and the Di rank, the difference between them is like heaven and earth. Most Xuan rank fighting techniques rely on the strength of the user to exert their power, while Di rank fighting techniques can use the energy of heaven and earth to achieve destructive power. One person and heaven and earth are almost incomparable!

To put it bluntly, although Xuan-rank combat skills are quite rare, which of those who can enter the strong rankings doesn't possess one or two Xuan-rank combat skills?

However, the Earth Rank technique... has never been truly seen to be used in the Gama Empire!

"This kid actually possesses a Level 1 Battle Technique..."

Yun Shan appeared beside Yun Yun, looking at Xiao Yan with a solemn expression. Even he had not mastered such a fighting technique.

His solemn gaze held an intensely suppressed greed. Clearly, Yun Shan's greed had reached its peak; regardless of the outcome of the battle, he was determined to keep Xiao Yan alive.

Then dig deep and uncover the secrets this kid is hiding!

"A Rank Earth-level combat technique... No wonder you made me pay special attention to this young man. He seems to be quite extraordinary..." Yun Yun murmured, her expression slightly changing, but she eventually regained her composure and suddenly said, "Yanran, I allow you to use that move!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. Even Yun Shan glanced at Yun Yun with some surprise, his brows furrowing slightly.

Which move?

The Ultimate Wind is already the highest level of combat skill in the Yunlan Sect; there are no higher-level combat skills above it.

Could it be that Yun Yun has also mastered a Level 1 Battle Technique?!

Yun Shan looked at Yun Yun with a strange expression, as if he really couldn't understand his disciple.

"Use that move...?"

On the stage, Naran Yanran took a deep breath and nodded emphatically: "I understand, teacher."

The moment the violent, fiery energy swirling around Xiao Yan's body appeared, Na Ran Yanran's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinholes. With her experience, she could naturally discern what that energy represented. However, the battle had already progressed to this point, and she had no way out.

Now that Yun Yun had given her permission to use that move, she had no more hesitation!

A long breath of pent-up turbid air was exhaled, and Nalan Yanran put down the starting stance of the Wind Extreme. However, a strong gale swept up from the surrounding space and slowly burst out from Nalan Yanran's body.

The surging gale, like a storm, was so fierce that people dared not look directly at it, and the energy tides of the surrounding world were also frantically mobilized at this moment.

"This is the rhythm of the energy of heaven and earth! Nalan Yanran actually possesses a Earth-rank combat skill!"

"How is this possible!"

"I didn't expect the Yunlan Sect to possess Earth-rank combat techniques. Their foundation is truly profound..."

Countless people were shocked and moved. On the high platform, Yunshan looked at Yunyun and said in a deep voice, "Yun'er, after this competition is over, I need an explanation."

"I'm sorry, teacher."

Sensing Yun Shan's gaze, Yun Yun's eyes darted away, but she finally sighed softly and said in a low voice, "This combat technique is an opportunity I had in the Tagor Desert. The training conditions are extremely harsh. If there are suitable candidates in the sect, I will teach them."

"...I understand."

Yunshan gave Yunyun a deep look, without saying much, but in his heart he recalled the words that Protector Wu had said earlier.

"Yun'er, it seems you really are hiding a secret I don't know..."

The surging gale made Xiao Yan squint his eyes, his expression becoming solemn.

He originally thought that after taking out the Myriad Spirit Beast Fire and the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler, he should be able to defeat Nalan Yanran and win the victory. However, the terrifying aura that Nalan Yanran was showing at this moment forced him to be on high alert.

"A clash of Earth-rank combat techniques... Come on!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and his Dou Qi flowed continuously into the Xuanzhong Ruler.

With such terrifying energy being poured in, the originally pitch-black ruler began to glow with an eerie dark red, making it appear as if it were surrounded by dark red flames.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the earth, and everyone looked up to see endless gales gathering at the tip of Nalan Yanran's longsword, condensing into a cyan longsword that was over ten feet wide.

As her fighting spirit coalesced, Nalan Yanran let out a delicate shout, and the Gale Sword in her hand suddenly roared out, hurtling towards Xiao Yan.

"Frosty Wind Sword Aura!"

The piercing sound of howling wind constantly burst forth from the longsword.

The overwhelming gale condensed and compressed, carrying an extremely sharp and ear-piercing sonic boom, and tore through space like lightning, shooting straight at Xiao Yan in the distance. Wherever the sword energy passed, the ground of the entire arena suddenly cracked!

Despite only possessing the strength of a Great Dou Master, Nalan Yanran's all-out attack was comparable to that of a Dou Ling expert, or even a Dou Wang expert!

Faced with this overwhelming offensive, the entire stadium changed color.

Even the elders on the referee's platform had solemn expressions. This kind of fighting skill truly lived up to its reputation as an Earth-rank fighting skill!

A fierce, howling sword aura swept in.

A breath of slightly hot air was deeply inhaled into Xiao Yan's lungs. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly took a step forward, raising the Xuanzhong Ruler high above his head. The veins on his arms were bulging, like wriggling little snakes!

As they gazed at the heavy ruler raised high by Xiao Yan, the entire audience held their breath, their faces flushed with excitement.

Under the watchful eyes of countless gazes, the next moment, Xiao Yan's arm trembled, and the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand crashed down!

"Flames Divide and Devour the Waves!"

Above the heavy ruler, a massive, dark red ruler-shaped beam, several meters long, shot out with terrifying, unstoppable force, meeting the sword energy head-on.

Under the watchful eyes of countless tense figures in the square, the two streaks of light flashed rapidly through the air, and finally, about ten meters above the ground, they collided violently like meteorites.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded throughout the entire Yunlan Mountain at that moment!

A thunderous roar resounded across the vast plaza, like the wrath of Thor, causing people's hearts to tremble with fear.

After the deafening roar, a collision of energy erupted like a volcanic eruption. The two fierce and incomparable energies made brief contact in mid-air and then frantically released the terrifying energy they contained. Instantly, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere above the square and howled past. At the point of contact, even the illusory air was blurred and distorted by the powerful collision of energy.

A fierce wind howled past, and a burst of energy shockwaves erupted from the sky, sweeping outwards in all directions around the plaza!

"Pfft."

"Pfft."

The energy shockwave first struck the defensive shields set up by some Yunlan Sect disciples. However, the latter clearly underestimated the terrifying force generated by the collision of the two energies. The somewhat fragile defensive shields were immediately and completely destroyed by the energy shockwave. Some of the weaker Yunlan Sect disciples turned pale and coughed up blood.

"Energy Barrier!"

Yun Yun glanced at Yun Shan beside her, took a step forward, and the aura of a peak Dou Huang swept out. She waved her jade hand, and Dou Qi transformed into a barrier to block the aftershocks.

High in the trees surrounding the plaza, Hai Bodong waved his hand and summoned an energy shield on his body to protect the people around him, while also stepping back a little.

Although Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan were only around the Great Dou Master level, the energy released after their attacks collided was so powerful that even a Dou Ling expert would not dare to be touched by it without protection.

The solid plaza trembled under the powerful energy shockwave, and cracks slowly appeared, eventually spreading outwards.

Xiao Yan looked up, his face solemn as he stared at the energy shockwave that struck like lightning. Feeling the terrifying force contained within it, his back trembled slightly, and the Purple Cloud Wings, which were more than a meter long, shot out from his shoulders. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and his body glided backward rapidly.

The visible energy shockwave followed closely like a surging ocean wave, leaving the solid plaza in ruins wherever it passed.

Seeing Xiao Yan break through the energy explosion and fly out, countless people showed expressions of astonishment.

"Battle Qi Wings! Xiao Yan actually has Battle Qi Wings!"

"Battle Aura Wings? No, it should be called a flying battle technique!"

"Good heavens, they even have such rare treasures. It seems that Xiao Yan has won this battle."

The clash between Earth-rank fighting techniques was evenly matched. Even if Xiao Yan had the upper hand due to the power of his strange fire, in such a close-range energy explosion, it didn't really matter whose fighting technique was more powerful. What mattered more was who could withdraw from the battlefield of the energy explosion first.

Clearly, Xiao Yan, with his flying combat skills, is better able to avoid the aftermath of battle.

as predicted.

As the energy erupted, Nalan Yanran's body swayed lightly in the breeze, like a catkin in a storm, dodging the incoming energy shockwaves.

However, the range and number of energy shockwaves were simply too great. After dodging more than a dozen impacts in succession, Nalan Yanran finally succumbed to exhaustion and her body sluggish. She was then heavily struck by an energy shockwave, her pretty face turned pale, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying backward.

Clutching her chest, Nalan Yanran endured the pain emanating from her body. Just as she was about to teleport into the air, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she abruptly turned her head. Not far behind her, a black-robed youth stood with his arms crossed, purple wings slowly flapping behind him, his dark eyes coldly watching her.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Nalan Yanran bit her red lips and suddenly pushed her jade hand out towards Xiao Yan. Instantly, a large number of light blue wind blades appeared out of thin air in front of her and swept towards Xiao Yan.

Just as Nalan Yanran made her move, Xiao Yan took the initiative. His wings flapped behind him, and he suddenly swooped down, then tilted his body slightly, narrowly avoiding the gust of wind blades.

His speed suddenly increased dramatically, and with a flash, he appeared above Nalan Yanran's head like a ghost, looking down coldly at Nalan Yanran, whose pretty face had changed slightly.

"not good."

On the high platform, Yunshan glanced at Yunyun, who remained unmoved beside him, and his expression darkened slightly: "Yun'er."

"teacher."

Yun Yun bit her red lips lightly, sighed softly, and shook her head: "A loss is a loss. Yanran is indeed no match for Xiao Yan."

"The Yunlan Sect's reputation cannot be compromised!"

"Yanran's defeat is inevitable; under the watchful eyes of everyone, how can it be changed?"

"In full view of everyone?"

Yunshan's gaze was icy as he looked into the distance and landed on Hai Bodong and his group.

One Dou Huang and three Dou Wang—this force is nothing to the Yunlan Sect now.

Moreover, he had long wanted to take action against the royal family and the Mittel family. If he killed these people here today, no one in the entire Gama Empire would be able to stop his Yunlan Sect!

"No one will leak this news today."

With Yunshan's indifferent voice, his figure suddenly disappeared.

The wind whistled past his ears, and Xiao Yan stared at that delicate and pretty face, his voice suddenly becoming slightly hoarse.

"It's over... Nalan Yanran!"

Three years of arduous training, enduring loneliness and the trials of blood and sweat, all for the sake of one day truly defeating the girl who had so brazenly humiliated him in the Xiao family's hall.

His palms clenched into fists, and all the humiliation, anger, and hatred of the past three years converged at this moment.

"Eight Extremes Collapse..."

"Enough, Xiao Yan. You have indeed won this battle, but you must show signs of defeat."

Just before Xiao Yan was about to make his move, a faint, indifferent voice suddenly entered his ears.

Xiao Yan's face stiffened, but soon, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

He didn't know who was communicating with him, but was it even possible to get him to stop now?!

Xiao Yan glanced down at the arena, and without any hesitation, his arm suddenly trembled, and the surging energy in his palm erupted like a volcano!

"How dare you!"

A cold snort exploded in Xiao Yan's ears. Xiao Yan's clenched fist suddenly trembled, and a muffled groan containing pain came from his throat. Then, a mouthful of blood slid down the corner of his mouth, and he fell from mid-air, swaying precariously.

"Chance!"

Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up. She didn't know why Xiao Yan had suddenly suffered such a serious injury, but this was indeed a rare opportunity.

With her jade-like hand gripping the long sword tightly, Nalan Yanran let out a clear shout and was about to stab Xiao Yan.

But at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and, in full view of everyone, casually blocked Nalan Yanran's longsword.

"Who goes there!"

"Who dares to trespass on my Yunlan Sect!"

"How dare they interrupt my grand Yunlan event! They are utterly audacious!"

Countless gazes were simultaneously cast into the air. The elders of the Yunlan Sect all stood up and glared angrily at the beings high above.

In that instant, if Nalan Yanran had just raised her sword and thrust it down, they would have won, and they would have won the three-year agreement.

That bastard! It's all that damn guy's fault!

However, some powerful figures above the Dou Wang level had their pupils shrink and their faces filled with shock when they saw the newcomer.

They didn't recognize the newcomer, but they could tell from the way he made his entrance.

That posture of gliding through the air!

"A Dou Zong level expert?!"

"Who is this person? When did the Jia Ma Empire acquire such a Dou Zong powerhouse?"

"How terrifying... But given this person's demeanor, could it be that he's acquainted with Xiao Yan?"

The powerful figures all wore solemn expressions, their gazes fixed on the newcomer. Yun Shan's face was particularly grim as his figure emerged from the space.

The entire square fell silent upon his appearance.

Although some ordinary Yunlan Sect disciples were unaware of the mysterious black-robed man's strength, the sudden change in the expressions of the elders' faces revealed that this mysterious man must be terrifyingly powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have shocked them so much.

"You are not from the Gama Empire, are you?"

Yunshan's gaze was fixed on the black-robed man staring at the sky. The powerful aura emanating from the man made him look serious.

This person's aura was actually superior to his own.

"Gama Empire?"

The man lowered his head slightly, revealing a somewhat distorted face of a middle-aged man, and said calmly, "I didn't expect that the Yunlan Sect would also produce a Dou Zong expert. What a pity, he has too little magnanimity and actually resorts to underhanded tricks in such a competition."

"You appear to be a powerful figure on the continent... May I ask which faction you belong to?"

Yunshan paused slightly as he rolled up his sleeves. Suppressing his anger, he asked in a deep voice, "Although I have been in seclusion for a long time, I still know a little about the forces on the continent."

"A mere Dou Zong is not worthy to know the name of the force I belong to..."

Han Feng said calmly, "Alright, Yunshan, don't waste my time. This farce ends here. Don't let it interfere with my reunion with old friends."

"Old friend?!"

Yunshan frowned slightly, his expression gloomy, but he dared not say anything more.

Although Han Feng was arrogant, he had the right to be arrogant. The aura he exuded was far superior to that of Yun Shan at this moment.

However, the old friend this guy mentioned...

Countless people followed Han Feng's gaze and fell on Xiao Yan, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

This kid is actually an old friend of this Dou Zong powerhouse?

How is this possible?!

At this moment, feeling Han Feng's gaze, Xiao Yan almost trembled, and pressed his hands tightly together as if he were trying to hide something.

"Why are you so nervous? I'm already here. Isn't Master going to come out for some fresh air and talk to me?"

Han Feng took a step forward and appeared in front of Xiao Yan in an instant, placing a hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"My... junior brother."
