Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 121 Nalan Yanran's Holy Flame Refining Chamber

"How is this possible! How is this possible!"

"What kind of flame is this? There has never been a flame of this level on the Strange Flame Ranking. What on earth is this thing?!"

The holy flames surged to the heavens, burning even the space itself in their wake. Yun Potian's seemingly magnificent fighting technique was incinerated and destroyed in the blink of an eye.

The founder of the Yunlan Sect looked utterly incredulous, his eyes filled with horror.

Although he had anticipated that Lin Ran was exceptionally talented, he knew that Lin Ran must have some hidden strength since he had already broken through to the Dou Zun level at such a young age. However, he did not expect that Lin Ran's strength would be so terrifying.

Battle aura, soul, and even space itself could not withstand the burning of this flame. What kind of flame is this?

Different flames are rare; each one is a top-tier natural treasure on this continent, possessing extremely unique attributes.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire burst forth and surged wildly, possessing the scorching heat of a volcanic eruption;

The Fallen Heart Flame burns directly into the soul, exerting extreme restraint on the soul body;

The Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame can even burn away battle qi.

The Holy Gold Meteor Heart Flame, formed by the fusion of these three elements, possesses the ability to burn almost everything!

Yun Potian wasn't a brainless brute. In just a moment, he sensed Lin Ran's terrifying power. With such flames, if he didn't go all out, he might really be in trouble today.

But would Lin Ran give him the chance to fight to the death?

"burn!"

Lin Ran gazed indifferently at Yun Potian's figure, and a cold voice slowly escaped from his mouth.

As soon as these words were spoken, the holy flames that filled the entire space burned even more fiercely, and the terrifying holy flames burst forth with dazzling holy light, directly enveloping Yun Potian.

"Damn it, what kind of flame is that?!"

Yun Potian's physical body was enveloped in raging holy flames, and he stared in shock and anger at the flames that covered his entire body.

He was immediately horrified to discover that his body was rapidly disintegrating under the holy flames. In a panic, Yun Potian hurriedly unleashed his battle qi, but when the battle qi appeared, the fear in his eyes intensified.

He discovered that even the fighting spirit within his body began to slowly disintegrate into nothingness upon encountering the flames. In an instant, Yun Potian's mind was thrown into chaos, and his exclamation carried a hint of fear.

For the first time in so many years, he felt the taste of death. This was the first time he had such a feeling since he entered the gate of life and death after his death.

"No, we have to retreat! What kind of monster is this?!"

Yun Potian was panicked. Even though he had not fully recovered, escaping from here had become his only thought. Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Potian's figure flew quickly toward the edge of space, while unleashing his battle qi, trying to tear space apart.

only……

"Can you leave?"

Seeing Yun Potian's actions, Lin Ran remained indifferent and suddenly clenched his fist in the direction of Yun Potian.

In an instant, that space solidified, like the most solid cage. Then, the endless holy flames surged even more fiercely, as if blown by a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, they completely ignited that space!

Yun Potian is also a Dou Zun powerhouse. Although he has not been fully resurrected, his strength is at least comparable to a high-level Dou Zun. Ordinary spatial sealing is naturally useless to him.

Therefore, Lin Ran not only sealed off the space this time, but also ignited it, completely blocking Yun Potian's escape route!

"Break it!!"

Yun Potian attacked that space like a madman, but how could he possibly shake a space already enveloped in holy flames?

Moreover, just as he was attacking the space, Lin Ran's figure had already appeared above his head without him even noticing.

The palm, covered in holy flames, gently patted out.

This seemingly powerless palm filled Yun Potian with horror, his heart pounding with fear. He tried to dodge, but found himself completely locked on, with nowhere to escape.

"Bang!"

Lin Ran's palm strike landed lightly on Yun Potian's body, and the latter's body instantly turned crimson upon contact.

An extremely terrifying high temperature emanated from his body, causing him to howl madly. However, as soon as the howl was heard, flames shot out from his seven orifices. Under such high temperature flames, Yun Potian's body quickly turned to ashes.

Nalan Yanran opened her mouth, gazing at the figure standing in the void, unsure of what to say.

This is a Dou Zun powerhouse!

And Yun Potian, who possessed such terrifying strength, actually died at the hands of Lin Ran. Is this the power of a sect leader?!

"call out!"

The instant Yun Potian's physical body was burned to ashes, an extremely dim ray of light suddenly shot out silently. However, it did not rush towards the Star Realm exit, but instead secretly flew towards Nalan Yanran.

"This tactic won't work on me."

However, just as the radiance was about to enter Nalan Yanran's body, the surrounding space suddenly froze, and a cold voice rang out.

As that cold voice rang out, a dazzling holy flame burst forth from Lin Ran's body, landing beneath the dim light. Instantly, the hazy light erupted with a desperate and shrill scream.

In an instant, the screams gradually subsided under Nalan Yanran's horrified gaze.

Even though Nalan Yanran was only a Grand Dou Master, she understood what had happened in this situation.

Her cheap master was unwilling to die in defeat and now actually wanted to infiltrate her body in order to escape.

"Such dirty methods suggest that this space truly needs a thorough cleansing."

After annihilating Yun Potian, Lin Ran did not stop.

Although the Gate of Life and Death is the true foundation of the Yunlan Sect, containing a large number of treasures, including cultivation techniques and fighting skills, these things are nothing to Lin Ran.

In reality, the foundation of the Yunlan Sect is only comparable to that of the Demon Flame Valley in the Black Corner Region. Such a thing is not enough to move Lin Ran like this. What is truly valuable is this space itself!

The Gate of Life and Death, a Small Space!

In this world, creating a small space requires at least a Dou Sheng level expert.

Only after reaching the level of Dou Sheng can they use their spatial power to condense and form a complete small space. Many major forces in Zhongzhou have their core sects located in small spaces.

And those ancient races lived within the 'realm' created by their own Dou Di powerhouses!

Unfortunately, such high-end goods were originally beyond the reach of Lin Ran, or rather the Yunyu Sect, because the strongest of the Yunyu Sect's most powerful Scorpion Demons, the Heavenly Scorpion, was only at the peak of the Dou Zun realm, and not even at the ninth level, so he couldn't even touch the 'Saint' level.

Of course, the major forces in Zhongzhou are basically at this level: one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions. Apart from the one tower and one palace, none of the others have the strength of a 'saint'.

Although the space of the Gate of Life and Death is a bit small, it is still a small space.

With proper maintenance, Lin Ran could use this as a base, making it the stronghold or even the headquarters of the Holy Rain Sect!

"Yanran, let me see you out first."

Lin Ran pondered for a moment, then looked up at the still-shaken Nalan Yanran and gave her a gentle smile.

"Okay, okay." Nalan Yanran hurriedly replied. She fully understood that this level of combat was beyond her ability to participate in. Although Yun Potian was dead, who knew if he still had any remaining abilities in this space?

Lin Ran nodded, raised his palm, and a surge of powerful pure Yang battle qi burst forth, tearing apart the space. Then, together with Nalan Yanran, he vanished into the spatial rift.

Then, Lin Ran's gaze fell upon the dimly lit space.

This space is not large, roughly the size of a city. Compared to those small spaces that are almost the size of a country, it is pitifully small.

Moreover, eighty percent of this space is in a state of abandonment. That fool Yun Potian was completely focused on his own resurrection and had little intention of maintaining this space. As a result, this small space is not only extremely desolate, but its spatial walls have also developed many cracks and are almost broken!

"Yun Potian is such an idiot, he picked up a sesame seed and lost a watermelon."

With the mere strength of a Dou Zun, he actually planned to revive for so long. Even if he did gather a massive amount of talent and achieve the peak of Dou Zun, what good would it do him to be resurrected?

Could it be that he can break through to the 'Saint' realm?

This small space is the greatest treasure!

Well, it's normal for a country dog ​​like this to have a narrow perspective. Fortunately, this space hasn't been damaged yet, but it's quite dilapidated. With some care, it can still be saved.

Lin Ran took a deep breath, and endless holy flames roared out from his body, the holy golden flames spreading to every corner of the space, scorching every inch of this space.

Holy golden flames swirled in every corner of the space, constantly rising and burning, making the entire space resemble a giant furnace at this moment.

The air was so hot that even a powerful person below the Dou Zun level would likely be instantly turned into a fireball and spontaneously combust if they took a breath of it.

This is the power of the Holy Gold Meteor Heartfire!

"First burn and purify, then condense!"

Jade cannot become a work of art without being carved. Only by completely removing all the impurities and waste from this space and then repairing it little by little with the power of space can this dilapidated space be restored.

If Lin Ran were still at the Dou Zong level, the workload would be terrifying, since a Dou Zong can only slightly mobilize spatial power, but Lin Ran is now a Dou Zun.

A Dou Zun powerhouse controls space and can tear space apart.

While we cannot create space yet, repairing a damaged space is no problem.

This is why many forces in Zhongzhou, despite lacking Dou Sheng level experts, are still able to live comfortably in small spaces.

After all, their ancestors were wealthy, so their descendants only need to maintain the power of space.

The sacred golden flames spread throughout the space, gradually incinerating all impurities and debris. While being tempered by the high temperature, Lin Ran also released bursts of spatial power to repair it.

While repairing it, he infused it with fighting spirit and soul power, attempting to imprint it with his own unique mark.

Clearly, once Lin Ran has completely dealt with this space, the Gate of Life and Death will become Lin Ran's backyard!

……

The process of purifying, refining, and repairing the space is very slow. Even though the space is not large, it is still a completely independent small space.

While Lin Ran calmed down, a huge uproar was brewing outside.

Upon leaving the Gate of Life and Death, Nalan Yanran went straight to the sect. Instead of publicizing the situation at the Gate of Life and Death, she immediately sought out Yun Yun and told her everything that had happened inside.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was shocked. No one could have imagined that this foundational treasure, which the Yunlan Sect regarded as a legacy, was actually a backup plan set up by their ancestor for resurrection.

For a moment, even Yun Yun was filled with lingering fear.

After all, she had cultivated in the Gate of Life and Death and gained a lot of power. She never expected that the real reason would be like this.

"That was suffocating... Thankfully, it's all over now."

Yun Yun took a deep breath and calmed down. At the same time, she comforted Nalan Yanran and said, "Yanran, since Aran is already inside the Gate of Life and Death, it means that the situation inside the Gate of Life and Death has stabilized. However, your seclusion in the Gate of Life and Death has indeed failed."

"But you don't need to worry. Before entering the Gate of Life and Death, Aran built a Holy Flame Refining Chamber in a secret room of the Yunlan Sect. You can go there to cultivate next."

"The Holy Flame Refining Chamber?"

Nalan Yanran was somewhat bewildered. She didn't know that there was such a place within the Yunlan Sect.

The original Yunlan Sect naturally did not have the Holy Flame Refining Chamber. It was originally set up by Lin Ran to help Yun Yun break through to the Dou Zong level. After all, Yun Yun was only temporarily enhanced by his Dou Qi and possessed the strength of a Dou Zong. Her true strength was still only at the peak of Dou Huang.

With the assistance of this Holy Flame Refining Chamber, Yun Yun's success rate in breaking through to the Dou Zong realm will be greatly increased!

However, Yun Yun has now decided to give the Holy Flame Refining Chamber to Nalan Yanran, as for herself...

With the help of that Breakthrough Pill, plus Yun Yun's own foundation and her current understanding of the Dou Zong realm, Yun Yun believed that even without the Sacred Flame Refining Chamber, she was confident that she could break through to the Dou Zong realm!

"That secret room is right next to my place. Come with me."

Led by Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran quickly arrived at the Holy Flame Refining Chamber.

The so-called Holy Flame Refining Chamber is actually just a small, enclosed room, completely empty except for a candlestick for lighting located in the center of the room.

The flame burning on the candlestick was not a candle flame, but a tiny wisp of holy flame. At that single glance, Nalan Yanran's pupils constricted, and she exclaimed in surprise, "It's the Sect Master's strange fire!"

Yun Yun glanced at Nalan Yanran with surprise, then nodded.

"Indeed, this is Aran's strange fire. Although it is only a wisp of fire, the energy contained within it is enough to burn a Dou Zong powerhouse to charcoal."

"Aran has already set up a special barrier in this room. When you go in, the first thing you need to do is hold your breath and concentrate. Don't let your mind wander, and don't touch that little fire. Just focus on your cultivation. Do you understand?"

"I know the teacher!"

Nalan Yanran nodded emphatically. She had already witnessed the terrifying power of Lin Ran's Strange Fire in the Gate of Life and Death. It was a terrifying flame that could burn even Yun Potian to nothingness, and could burn away even his fighting spirit, soul, and space.

Even if Nalan Yanran had a thousand lives, she wouldn't dare to touch such a flame lightly.

"Teacher, there's no time to lose, I'll go in and start cultivating now."

"Okay, get ready yourself."

The sealed door to the secret chamber slowly opened. Yun Yun formed a hand seal, dispelling the barrier of the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame. Nalan Yanran took a deep breath, stepped inside, and entered.

The next moment, the beautiful young woman's face suddenly changed, her body trembled, and then her pretty face turned as red as burning coals, with wisps of white mist even seeping from her forehead.

"Calm your mind and circulate your battle qi!" Yun Yun's voice rang in Nalan Yanran's ears just in time: "This fire first refines qi, then tempers the soul. Only by calming your mind can you cultivate within it."

"Don't rush, don't panic, just persevere. The longer you persevere, the greater the results will be..."

"puff!"

Before Yun Yun could finish speaking, Nalan Yanran coughed up blood and swayed precariously.

"Yanran!"

Yun Yun was shocked and quickly activated her hand seals to shut down the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame. At the same time, she took out a pill from her storage ring and put it into Nalan Yanran's mouth.

After taking the pill, Nalan Yanran's expression improved considerably, though she was still slightly out of breath and looked utterly incredulous.

"Was that... was that the Sect Master's Holy Flame Refinement?"

"How are you feeling, Yanran?" Yun Yun gently transmitted a stream of battle qi to stabilize Nalan Yanran's condition, while reminding her, "When facing Aran's strange fire, you must not be nervous. You must relax, but you must also concentrate."

"You just came out of the Gate of Life and Death, and went through a great battle. Your mind is tense, which is why you are in this state. Calm down for a moment and try again."

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

Nalan Yanran took a deep breath, her eyes fixed intently on the flame flickering on the candlestick, and said earnestly, "Teacher, I want to do it again!"

"Are you sure?" Yun Yun asked with some concern, after all, Nalan Yanran had only lasted for a few seconds.

"Come on, teacher!"

Seeing Nalan Yanran's request, Yun Yun sighed softly, formed hand seals, and reactivated the Holy Flame barrier.

The next moment, the power of the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame erupted, engulfing the entire room.

Nalan Yanran felt her breath catch in her throat, and a feeling of oppression welled up in her heart again!

However, this time, Nalan Yanran was clearly prepared after her previous failure. She quickly adjusted her state, calmed her mind, and overcame the initial discomfort.

But clearly, this feeling of oppression is just an appetizer; what follows is the real test!

Within a few breaths, Nalan Yanran felt a deep, bone-chilling pain spreading throughout her body.

The feeling was as if you were thrown into a furnace, and the fire was burning from inside your body. The raging flames and the intense heat seemed determined to burn you to ashes!

The white mist seeped out from above, and Nalan Yanran's meridians, bones, and even blood seemed to be bathed in a holy glow at this moment.

The Holy Gold Meteor Heart Fire seeped out from all parts of the body, then, like a maggot clinging to bone, burned anything that could be burned within the body.

Even the battle qi hidden within the battle crystal could not escape this calamity!

Although Nalan Yanran couldn't see inside the Battle Crystal at the moment, she could sense that the Battle Qi within it was churning like boiling water...

In this searing pain that penetrates to the bone, every second feels like an eternity, making Nalan Yanran feel an urge to faint on the spot. However, in that burning sensation, she can clearly feel the burning power accompanying it.

The fragile fighting spirit generated by his short-term increase in strength in order to deal with Xiao Yan was becoming solid at an extremely gratifying speed.

Within the battle crystal, the ethereal feeling that I used to have when mobilizing battle qi was rapidly disappearing, and it returned to its previous solid state!

She could sense it.

She's getting stronger! Getting stronger little by little!
