Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 132 Full Power Unleashed! Old Ghost Star-Picking!

A deafening explosion suddenly resounded across the sky, and the whole world seemed to tremble at that moment.

The terrifying aftershocks of energy had not yet erupted; the sound alone was like thunder.

The countless snake-men below were so shocked by the sudden thunder that blood trickled from their ears.

The immense crimson-gold energy slowly spread out, and wherever it spread, the space was like a calm lake where a boulder had been thrown in, stirring up huge waves and creating visible ripples of energy.

The dark clouds above the Black Domain Plain were directly shattered, revealing the azure sky. The barren, dark plain was also blasted into a super-large crater, inside which was a strange crystal.

That was something produced under absolute high temperature. Lin Ran's Great Sun Holy Sun Palm directly changed the environment and appearance of this world!

A terrifying surge of energy gradually erupted, and Medusa's expression suddenly changed drastically. She hurriedly activated her battle qi and, under Zi Yan's astonished gaze, flew to the front of the snake-people, activated her battle qi, and formed a seven-colored barrier.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

A calm voice rang in Medusa's ears, and an invisible spatial barrier blocked all the residual energy waves.

Seeing this, Medusa breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Lin Ran's figure with some resentment.

If this terrifying energy burst forth at the Dou Zun level, if it were fully unleashed, the Snake-People race would likely be annihilated. After all, even she felt a chill run down her spine from the aftershocks of this energy, let alone the Snake-People.

As the energy ripples gradually dissipated, countless curious gazes were cast towards the sky.

"Click-clack..."

A mysterious energy barrier shattered with a crackling sound, revealing the old man Mu Gu who had been hiding behind it.

Even with the energy barrier blocking his way, he was in a terrible state, his breathing disordered, but that wasn't the point.

At this moment, a dazzling silver jade pendant appeared in his hand!

"Playing this kind of thing?"

Lin Ran frowned slightly, and the next moment, the jade tablet was suddenly crushed by Elder Mu Gu!

As the jade tablet shattered, an extremely powerful spatial force suddenly surged out, instantly twisting the space around Elder Mu Gu into a crack. Just as the crack formed, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe slowly emerged from the spatial rift.

As the figure moved out, a vast aura swept up like a storm, and even Lin Ran's eyes showed a solemn expression under this vast storm.

"Hehe, Mu Gu, I didn't expect you to ask me to help you. Do you know that my price is not cheap?"

Accompanied by a gloomy laugh, an old man dressed in gray and white clothes stepped out of the void and came smilingly to the side of Elder Mu Gu.

"Stop talking nonsense. Take care of this brat with a Grade 8 Three-Colored Thunder Pill." Mu Gulai's face was gloomy. Of course, he knew what price he would have to pay to get this old guy to cross space to make a move.

"If you can capture me alive, I'll give you an eighth-grade pill of the Four-Colored Thunder!"

"Hahaha, that's easy, that's easy. Brother Mu Gu is truly generous." Hearing the price Mu Gu offered, the old man laughed heartily, "Don't worry, a mere one-star Dou Zun is nothing to me!"

"A Five-Star Dou Zun..."

The moment the gray-robed old man appeared, Lin Ran's expression changed.

Although he had anticipated that Mu Gu might call on his friends and call for help, since Mu Gu often did this in the original work, he did not expect that the old man Mu Gu would directly call on a Soul Hall elder who was a five-star Dou Zun!

A five-star Dou Zun and a peak three-star Dou Zun—these two Venerables working together are something even some of the major powers in Zhongzhou don't possess.

"Zi Yan, you and Medusa will take the snake people tribe to the Black Corner Region and then to the Holy Rain Sect."

Lin Ran said with a solemn expression, "The battle ahead must be fought with all our might. If we continue to let the snake people stay here, then being wiped out by the aftermath of the battle will be their only fate."

"Whoa whoa."

"good!"

Medusa immediately ordered the elders to lead the snake-people tribe to relocate. She understood that if they remained in place during the upcoming battle, they would only delay Lin's retreat, so it was better to leave first.

"You deal with this kid, I'll go and catch that beautiful snake!" Old Man Mu Gu grinned maliciously, his withered hand reaching out towards where Medusa was, stirring up waves in the space.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a seven-colored heaven-devouring python, Brother Mu Gu has quite the appetite. Don't worry, this kid can't go anywhere." The gray-robed old man smiled, his pale hand emerging from his sleeve, a vast black mist surging, instantly condensing into a massive black mist palm print ten feet in size, which he then slapped down hard at Lin Ran.

"Waaah."

Hearing the terrifying whooshing sound of wind rushing towards him, Lin Ran's expression changed slightly. He raised his right hand and rushed forward to meet it. At the same time, endless holy flames spewed from his left palm, transforming into a fire dragon that roared as it charged towards Elder Mu Gu.

"boom!"

A deafening collision of energy resounded in the sky, and a terrifying shockwave once again blew the entire world away.

As the shockwave spread, Lin Ran was forced back, his blood and qi surging within him, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

This old guy's strength is terrifying. According to his guess, he has probably reached at least the five-star or even six-star level, which is already at the mid-level or even high-level Dou Zun level.

Among Dou Zun, a difference of just one star is like a chasm between heaven and earth.

As a fighter's strength increases, the difficulty of fighting beyond their level becomes increasingly greater, because the amount of battle qi required to advance by one star is simply too much. Even relying on secret techniques and top-tier natural treasures may not be enough to bridge this gap.

If it weren't for Lin Ran's profound foundation and the blessing of the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame, he, a one-star Dou Zun, would probably have been defeated just now.

"Good lad! A mere one-star Dou Zun actually possesses such strength. I've misjudged him!"

Seeing that Lin Ran had only taken a few steps back, the gray-robed old man's expression immediately became more serious.

No wonder Mu Gu was willing to pay such a huge price to get his help. This kid is really not easy to deal with. Judging from the power of that palm strike just now, this kid's combat power is definitely not below his!

"Mu Gu, forget about that little snake, kill this kid first!"

The old man in the gray robe said in a deep voice.

Mu Gu, who was far away, barely managed to block Lin Ran's holy flame attack. He glanced at Medusa and the others who were fleeing in the distance, his face showing resentment. Then he turned his gaze to Lin Ran, his expression stern.

In a flash, Elder Mu Gu had already returned to the side of the gray-robed Venerable.

"Grey Celestial, you can't defeat him?"

Looking at Lin Ran, who had exchanged a palm strike with Gray Celestial Venerable without sustaining a scratch, Elder Mu Gu's expression was displeased: "You are a peak five-star Dou Zun. In terms of combat strength alone, even Old Ghost Zhaixing is no match for you, and you can even fight Black and White Celestial Venerable, yet you can't defeat this brat?!"

"Brother Mu Gu, don't joke around. If that palm strike had landed on you, you would probably be crippled."

Gray Celestial smiled insincerely: "This kid is no simpleton. If you don't tell me all his details, you can play with him slowly on your own!"

"you!"

Elder Mu Gu snorted coldly, but still passed on all of Lin Ran's information to Gray Heavenly Venerable. Upon learning that this kid was the successor of the Three Ghosts of the Scorpion Demon, Gray Heavenly Venerable's expression became extremely solemn.

When he learned that this kid even possessed a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, Gray Heavenly Venerable's expression changed drastically!

"Are you kidding me? A different kind of fire, and a Heaven-rank fighting technique?!"

Gray Celestial was both shocked and furious: "This kid's fighting power is such that even Black and White Celestials might not be able to defeat him. You want me to do it?!"

"Take down this kid, and the fighting skills are yours; I only want the strange fire!"

Elder Mu Gu's face darkened: "Furthermore, add another rank eight pill of the Three-Colored Thunder Pill!"

Two Grade 8 pills with three-colored thunderbolts, plus the possibility of a Heaven-rank combat skill—such a rich value is impossible not to be tempted.

With these, he believed he could definitely break through to the sixth-star Dou Zun level, and with the support of the Heaven-rank Dou Technique, his combat power would definitely not be weaker than those high-rank Dou Zun!

"Okay, let's do it!"

Gray Celestial took a deep breath, his gaze chilling: "Boy, it's all because you're such a genius. If we don't kill you today, you'll definitely be a major obstacle to my Soul Palace when you grow up."

"So, die!"

"Grey Demon Palm!"

With killing intent surging in his heart, Gray Heavenly Venerable suddenly raised his palm. The palm wind was extremely fierce, and the vast battle qi in his body roared and circulated like a raging flood. Finally, it burst out along his meridians. Wherever the palm wind passed, space collapsed, and dark spatial cracks were filled out, like a ferocious mouth!

Elder Mu Gu roared angrily, and black mist surged out from his body like a raging fire, rushing towards Lin Ran.

"A thousand souls devour the heart!"

The attacks of the two Soul Hall elders suddenly became extremely fierce, but Lin Ran was not afraid at all.

Crimson-gold pure yang battle qi continuously condensed on his body, and under the endless golden light, his figure appeared as magnificent and dazzling as a god, incomparably domineering.

Looking at Lin Ran, whose aura suddenly surged, Elder Mu Gu and Gray Heavenly Venerable's expressions changed slightly, and the solemnity in their eyes intensified. They actually felt a sense of suppression from the aura displayed by the young man in front of them!

"etc!"

Suddenly, Elder Mu Gu seemed to realize something, his eyes widening as he stared intently at Lin Ran: "You actually possess a Pure Yang Physique! No wonder you've reached this level at such a young age, and were even accepted as a disciple by those three bastards, the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts. It turns out you have such a special physique!"

At this moment, Lin Ran was bathed in golden light, his eyes were bright and radiant, as if he were wearing a golden armor, exuding a magnificent aura.

"Holy Essence Ignites Blood!"

With his golden eyes fixed on the two Dou Zun before him, Lin Ran's voice rang out in a deep tone. The next moment, his figure transformed into a golden light and vanished instantly.

In an instant, Lin Ran's somewhat illusory figure, due to his rapid movement, appeared, and his iron fist, imbued with golden light and carrying a fierce and domineering force, slammed towards Elder Mu Gu.

"What?!"

As the fist rapidly enlarged in his eyes, Elder Mu Gu's pupils contracted. Before he could even defend himself, he was blasted away by Lin Ran.

Meanwhile, Gray Celestial Venerable, who was standing to the side, just realized that Lin Ran had launched another attack on him!

In the collision, Gray Celestial Venerable was also sent flying backward. The terrifying power was something even this peak five-star Dou Zun could not withstand. Only with the help of Elder Mu Gu was the two Dou Zun able to stabilize themselves under Lin Ran's attack.

Three figures flashed like ghosts, and each contact would unleash a deafening roar. Streams of violent energy storms spread out continuously, echoing in the sky like muffled thunder. Such a fierce battle left onlookers speechless.

Fortunately.

The three of them were currently in the Black Domain Plain of the Black Corner Region. There was no one around, and the space was vast, so they could do whatever they wanted.

"boom!"

Above the sky, three figures, one in gold and two in black, their forms glowing with immense battle aura, clashed violently. A terrifying, earth-shattering sound soared into the sky, even scattering the floating clouds in the heavens.

Within a hundred feet of the three people, the space around them was shattered, revealing a large area of ​​fragmented void.

The power of these three fighters was so great that even the space itself could not withstand it!

"boom!!"

At the same time, he clashed fiercely with Elder Mu Gu and Gray Heavenly Venerable. The powerful force forced Lin Ran to retreat several steps, but Lin Ran's face was filled with a thirst for battle.

After breaking through to the Blood Realm with his Pure Yang Body, Lin Ran's problem of blood deficiency was solved. In other words, the side effects of the Holy Yuan Blood Burning skill, which Lin Ran originally regarded as his trump card, have now been reduced to the minimum and can be considered a normal amplification skill.

When Lin Ran fought against the Ancient Clan's Dou Zun before, he was not satisfied at all, and the Holy Yuan Blood Burning ended. But now, Lin Ran felt as if he had inexhaustible power.

Indestructible, impervious to all poisons, indestructible, and supremely invincible.

This is the true Pure Yang Body! The Pure Yang Sacred Body!

Compared to Lin Ran, who was enjoying the battle, the expressions of Elder Mu Gu and Gray Heavenly Venerable became increasingly gloomy.

One of them was a dignified Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace, a peak five-star Dou Zun, and the other was an eighth-grade alchemist, a peak three-star Dou Zun!

And what about Lin Ran?

He's just a mere one-star Dou Zun.

Even so, in a one-on-one situation, neither of them was a match for Lin Ran. They could only barely contend with Lin Ran when it was two against one.

How could these two people, with their inherent arrogance, tolerate this?

At the same time, the two of them were increasingly horrified of Lin Ran.

How old is this guy? According to intelligence, he's only in his teens or twenties.

At less than twenty years old, he already possesses such terrifying combat power. If he were given a few more years, what would he become?

Most importantly, the Soul Palace has already become its enemy.

"We can't keep dragging this on!"

Elder Mu Gu's expression turned solemn: "Grey Celestial Venerable, stop him!"

Gray Celestial clenched his teeth, and a vast amount of battle qi surged from his palm. With a strange writhing motion, it solidified into a pitch-black palm print.

As the palm print appeared, countless spatial cracks immediately emerged. The terrifying power indicated that even if this fighting technique was not as powerful as Lin Ran's Great Sun Holy Yang Palm, it was definitely not low!

As Gray Celestial Venerable unleashed his ultimate power, Elder Mu Gu, who had distanced himself, swept his hand across his storage ring, and another spatial jade slip appeared in his hand.

With a forceful press of his palm, the jade slip shattered instantly, and the next moment, a spatial rift appeared.

"Hehehe, why is it so lively here?"

With a sinister laugh, a figure slowly emerged from the crack.

He was dressed in gray and white clothes, with Zhou Shen's black shackles floating in the air. His aura was profound and he was no less than that Gray Celestial Venerable!

Five-star peak Dou Zun.

Star-Picking Old Ghost!
