Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 133 Fierce Battle Against the Three Venerables! Great Sun Annihilation Palm!

It is said that alchemists are not best at fighting or making medicine, but at calling on their friends.

At this moment, Elder Mu Gu, an eighth-grade alchemist, perfectly demonstrated this skill.

First it was Gray Heavenly Venerable, a peak five-star Dou Zun, and now it's Old Ghost Zhai Xing, a peak five-star Dou Zun!

The surging battle qi filled the entire space, accompanied by a vast aura. The old ghost Zhaixing, dressed in gray and white clothes, watched Lin Ran and Gray Heavenly Venerable fighting fiercely in the arena with a smile, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Mu Gu, do you know the price I'll pay for making you do this?"

"Alright, alright, stop yelling. Finish this brat off, and I'll give you two Grade 8 Three-Colored Thunder Pills!"

With a hurried expression, Elder Mu Gu uttered a few words before rejoining the battle to assist Gray Heavenly Venerable.

This hurried manner caught Old Ghost Zhaixing off guard.

"What the hell? Wait, is Gray Celestial Venerable here too?"

Watching Lin Ran and Gray Heavenly Venerable locked in fierce combat on the battlefield, Old Ghost Zhaixing's expression gradually turned serious.

Gray Celestial's cultivation level was almost the same as his, but in terms of pure combat power, Gray Celestial was even above him!

However, in the current battle, Gray Celestial Venerable was completely overwhelmed by Lin Ran. Even after Mu Gu joined the battle, the two could only manage a draw.

No wonder Mu Gu summoned him as well; it's because the combined strength of him and Gray Heavenly Venerable was completely insufficient to defeat this kid.

Who is this kid who's only a one-star Dou Zun, yet his strength is so terrifying?!

The old ghost who picked stars looked solemn and understood the situation, which made Mu Gu and Hui Tianzun, who were in the midst of the fierce battle, curse loudly.

"Old Ghost Zhaixing, what are you up to? Quickly capture this kid!"

"Delay may lead to unforeseen changes, so don't hesitate!"

"Damn it, you're taking two of my Grade 8 Three-Colored Thunder Pills and doing nothing?"

"call out!"

Amidst several angry shouts, Old Ghost Zhaixing suddenly flicked his finger, and the black chains coiled around his body leaped up like lightning, bringing with them a fierce gust of wind, sweeping towards Lin Ran's vital points.

The chain attack is incredibly fast, leaving afterimages in the sky, making it impossible to defend against!

While Lin Ran was engaged in a fierce battle with Elder Mu Gu and Gray Heavenly Venerable, he was caught off guard and struck directly by the black lock. His left arm and shoulder were pierced through, and golden blood splattered everywhere.

"Haha, well done!"

"Well done, you old devil!"

With a single, decisive strike, Elder Mu Gu laughed heartily. He had been locked in a fierce battle with Gray Heavenly Venerable and Lin Ran for a long time without inflicting any substantial damage. But Old Ghost Zhaixing made a direct and decisive move upon his arrival, achieving victory.

It was worth it for him to call him here!

"Hehe, with my help, it's naturally a piece of cake."

Looking at his achievements, Old Ghost Zhaixing chuckled, but in his heart he was secretly surprised by Lin Ran's reaction speed.

His attack was originally aimed at Lin Ran's heart, but just before it hit, Lin Ran abruptly changed direction and landed on his shoulder, which greatly surprised Old Ghost Zhaixing.

But it's not a big problem!

"My Star-Picking Lock will corrode bones and erode the heart; this brat's fighting spirit will continue to decline. If we attack together, no matter how unparalleled his combat power is, we will surely..."

"What!?"

The old ghost's confident words came to an abrupt halt, his face filled with disbelief.

Lin Ran glanced at his right shoulder, which had been pierced, and squinted.

The next moment, a brilliant Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame appeared on his pierced shoulder. The holy flame burned away the black, corrupting energy clinging to the wound in just a few breaths.

With another breath, the pierced shoulder was completely healed!

What kind of resilience is this?!

The three men, Old Ghost Zhaixing, Gray Heavenly Venerable, and Old Man Mugu, looked on with surprise and doubt, their faces full of solemnity.

"This kid has a pure Yang body, so ordinary injuries are nothing to worry about and will heal in an instant."

"And don't even think about exhausting his battle qi. The Pure Yang Body has an inexhaustible and ever-renewing source of battle qi; its ability to recover battle qi is even more abnormal than the body's self-healing ability!"

The old man Mu Gu stared intently at Lin Ran and said in a deep voice, "Moreover, he also possesses an unknown strange fire. That flame is extremely hot and is extremely effective against the techniques and fighting skills of our Soul Palace people."

"So, if we can't kill him outright, this kid will be like a perpetual motion machine!"

"A pure yang body, huh..."

Old Ghost Zhaixing had heard of this special physique before, but he always thought it was just a legendary physique that had long since disappeared into the river of time.

Unexpectedly, this kind of physique not only actually exists in the world, but Lin Ran also possesses such a physique.

"Let's attack together and kill him!"

Without further hesitation, the three elders of the Soul Hall unleashed their battle qi and launched a fierce attack on Lin Ran. Their terrifying power instantly caused cracks to spread throughout the surrounding space.

However, facing these three terrifying Venerables, Lin Ran did not retreat but advanced instead, transforming into a golden ray of light and charging fiercely towards the three Venerables!

The four clashed repeatedly, and Lin Ran was finally at a disadvantage.

As an alchemist, Elder Mu Gu might not be that ferocious in combat, but he was quite good at supporting Gray Heavenly Venerable and Old Ghost Zhaixing. When two peak five-star Dou Zun experts joined forces, even a seven-star Dou Zun would have a headache.

Various black-chain combat techniques bombarded Lin Ran relentlessly, and for a moment, the golden light on Lin Ran's body was blasted and dimmed a bit.

"To have achieved this much with just a one-star Dou Zun is already quite impressive, but I still want to show you what the true power of a five-star Dou Zun is!"

A sinister smile appeared on the face of the old ghost who was picking stars. Vast battle qi surged from his palm and instantly solidified into a pitch-black ghost-headed broadsword.

This broadsword was extremely strange, covered by a layer of strange, pitch-black crystals. As the blade lightly swept across the space, a crack the size of a thumb appeared silently.

The old ghost gripped his broadsword tightly, staring at Lin Ran with a sinister gaze. The broadsword suddenly trembled, leaving afterimages, before slashing down angrily from afar.

"Star Shattering Slash!!"

"Great Soul Devouring Lock!"

On the other end, Gray Celestial also formed hand seals, and thick, viscous black mist surged out from his sleeves, then transformed into countless souls with ferocious expressions.

Immediately afterwards, these souls seemed to be forcibly kneaded together by an incredibly terrifying force, transforming into a pitch-black soul lock. Countless hideous faces were engraved on the soul lock, making it suffocating.

The old man Mu Gu, who was watching from the sidelines, also had a solemn expression. Endless black mist spewed from his palm. Under this black mist, the attacks of the old ghost Zhaixing and the gray celestial were even more fierce!

Furthermore, the Soul Lock and Star Blade even showed faint signs of converging and overlapping in mid-air!

"Well done!"

Faced with the terrifying power of two peak five-star Dou Zun, coupled with the enhancement from Elder Mu Gu, Lin Ran took a deep breath, and his Dou Qi surged wildly within his body.

His gaze was fixed ahead, where the surrounding space had long been fragmented due to the battle between the four. The spatial nodes had been completely destroyed, and almost no one could sense the aura here, nor could anyone summon reinforcements through spatial jade slips or any other means.

That being the case...

Lin Ran slightly raised his hands, slowly closed his eyes, and his fighting spirit continuously gathered in his palms. His palms immediately burst forth with brilliant light.

"It's a Heaven-Rank combat skill! This kid's move is a Heaven-Rank palm technique!"

Seeing this, Elder Mu Gu hissed, "However, in terms of strength, our combined attack is definitely stronger than its!"

"Is that so?"

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Ran's lips, and the radiance in his palm rose to its peak at this moment, as if there was a sun shining in his palm.

No, it's not just that.

Just as the dazzling brilliance reached its peak, it suddenly began to rapidly recede.

At the same time, the howling wind in the sky suddenly stopped, and even the swirling dark clouds in the sky stopped moving. A boundless aura of annihilation slowly emanated from Lin Ran's body.

Sensing the aura of annihilation emanating from Lin Ran's body, the expressions of Elder Mu Gu, Old Ghost Zhai Xing, and Gray Heavenly Venerable all changed. Under the shroud of this aura of annihilation, a sense of despondency faintly arose in their hearts.

What kind of move is this?

The boundless vitality dissipated from Lin Ran's body at this moment. The surging vitality of his pure yang body had vanished completely, and Lin Ran looked like a withered ancient tree.

However, the aura emanating from Lin Ran grew increasingly profound and terrifying.

Even the space where Lin Ran was located directly cracked open, with huge, dark cracks appearing in the sky like ferocious maws.

"You're just bluffing, die, kid!"

An inexplicable feeling of palpitation made the three Venerables, including the Star-Picking Old Ghost, uneasy. The Star-Picking Old Ghost and the Gray Heavenly Venerable shouted angrily, and the Star Blade and Soul Lock burst out at the same time.

"Bluster? Hah."

"Perfect for practicing your moves!"

As the star blades and soul locks swept in, Lin Ran finally opened his tightly closed eyes, let out a cold laugh, and slowly raised his right palm, which was condensed with boundless battle energy, and struck out at the area where the three of them were.

"Great Sun Annihilation Palm!"

As Lin Ran's palm struck the void in front of him, the entire sky seemed to freeze completely at that moment. An aura of annihilation, as if emanating from the deepest abyss, swept out from Lin Ran's palm like a hurricane!

"Boom boom boom!"

The stillness between heaven and earth lasted for a moment before it suddenly shattered. The space in front of Lin Ran began to writhe rapidly, as if something terrifying was about to burst forth.

Under the horrified gazes of the three, a pitch-black palm print shattered space and crashed down towards the location where the three old ghosts were standing.

This pitch-black giant hand exuded an extremely terrifying aura of annihilation, as if all life force would be reduced to dust under this finger.

The giant palm fell from the sky, and along its path, the void space collapsed, and a spatial rift with a distance of a thousand feet appeared directly. The Star Blade and Soul Lock, which the Old Ghost of Star Picking, the Gray Heavenly Venerable, and the Old Man of Bone Mu had placed high hopes on, shattered and crushed the moment they collided with it.

Then, with undiminished momentum, it continued its attack on the three.

"What kind of fighting technique is this?!"

Seeing that the combined power of the three of them could not even budge the giant hand, a look of fear appeared in the eyes of the three.

"There's no escape. Our auras are completely locked, and this space has collapsed. Even the spatial jade slip is useless now!" Elder Mu Gu said in a deep voice, his expression grim.

Gray Celestial Venerable and Star-Picking Old Ghost exchanged a glance, a ruthless glint in their eyes. Gray Celestial Venerable then took a deep breath, revealing a ferocious expression.

"I simply refuse to believe it! A mere one-star Dou Zun, even with a Heaven-rank Dou Technique, can't possibly turn the world upside down!"

"Reach for the stars! Yearn for the bones! Offer up the Soul Lock of your destiny!"

Upon hearing Gray Celestial's shout, Old Ghost Zhaixing and Old Man Mugu paused, their raised hands momentarily frozen. They exchanged glances, then looked at the pitch-black hand that seemed to almost obliterate everything. They could only grit their teeth, their hand seals shifting with lightning speed, before a fierce shout rang out from their mouths.

"My destined soul lock, appear!!"

Splash!

The stern shout had barely faded when an unusually loud sound of steel scraping against steel echoed through the space.

Immediately, Lin Ran saw three enormous black mists, each ten feet in size, suddenly erupt from the crowns of the heads of Elder Mu Gu, Gray Heavenly Venerable, and Old Ghost Zhaixing.

As the black mist writhed, three enormous, pitch-black chains, each ten feet long, appeared in this space like three ferocious giant pythons!

The jet-black chains looked extremely magnificent. The surface of the chains was covered with strange runes, and countless faces filled with sorrow were frozen on the chains. As soon as the chains were released, terrifying and ear-piercing screams rang out continuously, causing Lin Ran to frown slightly.

"So you've already taken out your natal soul lock...?"

Lin Ran murmured, took a deep breath, and her eyes remained confident.

The Soul Lock is the ultimate weapon of the Soul Palace's Battle Venerables. This Soul Lock is connected to their souls, and if it is damaged, it will cause them extremely serious harm. Therefore, Soul Palace Venerables will almost never use the Soul Lock unless absolutely necessary.

But at this moment, the Great Sun Annihilation Palm released by Lin Ran was so terrifying that it was suffocating, forcing them to use their last resort.

But is it possible to stop my Great Sun Annihilation Palm by relying on your natal soul lock?

A hint of mockery appeared in Lin Ran's eyes.

His Great Sun Annihilation Palm is not an ordinary Heaven-rank combat skill. Rather, it is the product of his meticulous research and fusion of the Great Sun Holy Sun Palm and the Great Annihilation Technique, two Heaven-rank combat skills, so that they complement each other!

Lin Ran wasn't sure exactly how powerful his Great Sun Annihilation Palm was, but he was certain that its power far surpassed that of a low-level Heavenly Rank cultivator!

Can you block this palm strike?
