Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 161 A Frank Encounter with Xun'er

At the bottom of the crimson pool of blood, all was silent. Everything proceeded quietly in the solitude. In this place, even time seemed to have lost its proper function.

Amidst the fiery red, a streak of blood-gold shone faintly, standing out conspicuously. Upon closer inspection, a figure sitting cross-legged was revealed—none other than Lin Ran, who had submerged himself at the bottom of the blood pool to cultivate.

From the moment he entered the meditative state until now, Lin Ran has almost never withdrawn from it, maintaining a completely still posture like an old monk.

It continuously absorbs the abundant energy around it and uses it to stimulate the effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill within its body, thereby strengthening its meridians, bones, muscles, and even cells!

As the effects of the medicine were activated, Lin Ran's robes were completely corroded.

The crimson gold color enveloped every inch of Lin Ran's body, even his face, which was now covered in crimson gold. In the distance, his handsome face now had a somewhat ferocious and terrifying look.

Fortunately, there was no one else there besides him, so no one else witnessed this scene.

Judging by the time, Lin Ran should have stayed here for about three days.

In the past three days, he has not had a moment's rest. He has been constantly urging the surrounding massive crimson energy to stimulate the medicinal effects in his body.

As the effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill were continuously activated, Lin Ran's fighting spirit and physical strength became increasingly powerful and formidable.

Ordinary Vajra Dragon Bone Pills would never have such terrifying effects. Although the seventh-grade Vajra Dragon Bone Pills are said to "greatly enhance the user's physical strength, circulate qi in the limbs, open the eight meridians, and cultivate an indestructible Vajra body after consumption."

However, Lin Ran was a Dou Zun powerhouse, and he used his Dou Zun power to swallow a seventh-grade pill.

No matter how potent its medicinal effects are, they could never reach this level!

The reason why he was able to achieve this was simply because Lin Ran's Vajra Dragon Bone Pill had already transcended the level of an ordinary pill, possessed spirituality, and become an eighth-grade pill, and even an eighth-grade pill with six-colored pill lightning!

This level of pill would be highly valued not only by Lin Ran, who had just broken through to the Dou Zun realm, but also by beings of the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts' level.

According to Lin Ran's own speculation, relying on the energy in the blood pool, the medicinal effects in his body have been continuously stimulated, but there is still an immeasurable distance before he can fully absorb them.

This Rank 8 pill from the Six-Colored Thunder Pill is truly powerful, which makes Lin Ran even more eager to see what he will become after completely consuming it.

Lin Ran was filled with anticipation and did not find cultivation tedious; he simply sat quietly in meditation.

The only constant changes were the ever-increasing aura and the blood-gold-colored flesh!

Time passed slowly, and at the same time, within the Cloud Rain Sect.

"Big brother, you mean that Lin not only returned, but also successfully resolved the issue of his Pure Yang Body's blood and qi, and broke through to the Dou Zun level?!"

Inside the main hall of the Cloud and Rain Peak, Scorpion sat in the main seat, flanked by an old man and a rather young-looking man.

The old man was also dressed in a black robe, exuding a cold aura. The man on his right looked young, but his eyes revealed that he was also an old monster whose age was no less than the other two.

Needless to say, those sitting to the left and right of Scorpio are naturally the second and third sect leaders of the Cloud Rain Sect.

The Earth Scorpion of an Eighth-Rank Dou Zun!

A human scorpion who has reached the sixth level of Dou Zun!

"In just two or three years, that kid actually jumped from a seven-star Dou Zong to a two-star Dou Zun. Such a speed of advancement is truly outrageous." Human Scorpion sighed, "Back then, even with the help of those endless furnaces, it took me several years to break through from the peak of Dou Zong to Dou Zun."

"That kid's talent is beyond doubt; after all, he possesses a pure Yang physique!"

Earth Scorpion chuckled, a greedy glint in his eyes: "Besides, he's already a Dou Zun, and his bloodline deficiency has been corrected. Brother, shouldn't we close the net now...?"

"Yes, brother, I haven't made any progress in years. If we don't close the net soon, I'm afraid my life will end here."

"Closing the net..."

When this matter was mentioned, a look of greed and desire appeared in Scorpio's eyes. He was already at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm, only one step away from the Half-Saint realm.

However, this one step away has trapped him for countless years.

Although the Joyful Zen Bliss Technique is a Heaven-rank cultivation method, it is extremely powerful, allowing them to acquire immense power without any side effects by absorbing the furnace.

But it was precisely because of this method that they reached the limit of their potential ahead of schedule!

Not only him, but his two younger brothers, Earth Scorpion and Human Scorpion, had also reached their limits. Without any extraordinary encounters, the three of them might only be able to go as far as they could in their lives.

And Lin Ran...

"Don't rush, don't rush..."

Scorpio took a deep breath, suppressing the greed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The reason I sent him out to train and hone his skills is so that he can receive better training and better utilize the unparalleled opportunities of his Pure Yang Body."

"That kid has taken the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill, and it's of a pretty high grade. We can close the net after he's fully absorbed its effects."

"Only then can he provide more abundant pure Yang energy to raise our potential... At the very least, while I break through to the Half-Saint realm, you two must also see hope of breaking through to the Saint realm!"

Upon hearing this, the auras of both the earth scorpion and the human scorpion became extremely heavy.

A saint! That's a saint!

Originally, the Scorpion Demon, the Three Ghosts, and the others had already given up hope, and even despaired about the future.

Only those who have been stuck at the peak of Dou Zun for countless years can truly understand just how enormous the gap is between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng.

Lin Ran's appearance, however, gave them hope.

It gave them the hope of reaching a higher level and breaking through to the 'Saint' level!

……

Time flies by here. Lin Ran, completely immersed in absorbing the effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill, has also completely forgotten the passage of time. He seems to have entered a state of oblivion, and the only way to get out of this state is to wait until the day when the effects of the medicine are fully broken through.

About half a month later, while Lin Ran was absorbing the effects of the medicine, the space around him suddenly distorted, and an irresistible force pulled Lin Ran, who was in seclusion, directly into it.

The next moment, Lin Ran felt the surrounding environment, which was filled with dense energy, suddenly disappear. The effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill, which had been constantly being drawn in, came to an abrupt end and instantly shrank back into Lin Ran's body.

The blood-gold color faded from Lin Ran's body, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Ran's body was revealed.

Feeling the empty space around him, Lin Ran came back to his senses, opened his somewhat bewildered eyes, and looked at the familiar beauty in front of him. How could Lin Ran not know what had happened?

He was forcibly pulled and teleported back to Canaan Academy by Gu Yuan!

"You, why aren't you dressed? What do you want, you lecherous scoundrel!" Gu Xun'er's gaze swept over Lin Ran's perfect body, which was like a work of ancient Greek art, and she spat.

Lin Ran's lips twitched slightly. He ignored Xun'er and instead focused on sensing the state within his own body.

With a strong physical body and abundant blood energy, his strength is...

Samsung Douzun!

However, only 70% of the effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill in his body had been consumed, leaving 30% remaining. If given a few more days, he would definitely be able to absorb all of these effects!

pity……

Lin Ran sighed softly, stood up somewhat helplessly, and casually activated his battle qi to clear away the remaining blood-colored battle qi on his body.

This thing is nothing to him, but to outsiders it is a potent fire poison that even a Dou Zong expert might not be able to withstand.

"you……"

Upon seeing Lin Ran's body, which resembled a work of art, and the enormous thing beneath him, Xun'er's pretty face suddenly froze, but she quickly noticed Lin Ran's actions.

She wasn't a boring or lowbrow person, and when she saw the lingering energy on Lin Ran, she immediately understood something.

"What are you doing...?"

"No problem, let's begin."

Lin Ran smiled calmly and waved his hand lightly, and the two figures were already covered by an invisible spatial force.

Xun'er pursed her red lips but hesitated to make a further move, which made Lin Ran frown slightly.

But what Xun'er said next made Lin Ran suddenly realize the truth.

"Um, could you put on some clothes first?"

"..."

Lin Ran's lips twitched slightly. He casually took out a black robe from his storage ring and draped it over his shoulders. Only then did Xun'er loosen her clothes, revealing her beautiful face.

Lin Ran looked Xun'er up and down, her pretty face flushed, and she immediately thought of Lin Ran's body, which was like a work of art, just a moment ago. She felt extremely shy, and her face and ears turned pink.

"Miss Xun'er."

Lin Ran whistled softly: "Did we just have a frank conversation?"

"Lin Ran!"

Lin Ran chuckled, and before Xun'er could make any other move, he covered his palm with pure Yang fighting spirit. Accompanied by the spread of the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame, his scalding left palm landed on Xun'er's jade back. Xun'er trembled violently, her whole body tensed up abruptly, and she let out a muffled groan. Her words also stopped abruptly.

Pure Yang Battle Qi slowly flowed into Xun'er's body through her meridians. Xun'er bit her red lips tightly, suppressing the shame and anger in her heart, and felt the pure Yang Battle Qi nourishing her meridians.

However, whenever she closed her eyes, the image of Lin Ran's body would always appear in her mind...

For a moment, Xun'er was unable to concentrate and calm herself down. She could only force herself to suppress her chaotic emotions and sense Lin Ran's fighting spirit and aura behind her...

That feeling... Xun'er clenched her jade hands tightly, her heart in turmoil.

……

The battle of nurturing fighting spirit quickly came to an end. Xun'er fled as if she were running away. Lin Ran chuckled, quickly checked on the situation of Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, Green Robe, and the others, and then headed towards Tianya City again.

Their movements were so well concealed that even Elder Qianbai and Elder Suqian failed to detect them.

This left the young girl, who had already made up her mind to seek refuge with Lin Ran and beg for his help, feeling flustered.

What should I do if I can't find anyone?

The situation in the Northwest Continent has stabilized, but Lin Ran still has many things to do in the Central Plains, so he cannot afford to linger.

Space tore open, and Lin Ran unleashed his battle qi, arriving at Tianya City at top speed. He didn't even bother to greet the Luo family before returning to the spatial wormhole.

Lin Ran passed the time in the wormhole by cultivating. After spending half a month returning to Zhongzhou, he immediately headed towards the Tianmu Mountains.

The duration of the Tianmu Blood Pool was approximately two months. He spent nearly a month cultivating and traveling, and now that he has returned to the Tianmu Mountains, he has exactly one month left.

A month is enough time for Lin Ran to fully absorb the effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill.

Outside the crater, a fierce wind howled incessantly. In a stone pavilion not far from the crater, two aged figures stood with their hands behind their backs.

"It's been a month already, and I wonder what exactly happened in the blood pool..."

Jin Shi frowned as he stared into the crater, where the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool was covered by an invisible spatial barrier, and neither of them knew anything about what was happening inside.

Although they were curious, they dared not make any rash moves. Not to mention that the fire poison below the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool was extremely poisonous to them at present, Lin Ran's Dou Zun strength and Dou Zun temper were also not something they could afford to provoke.

"This blood pool might be somewhat useful to Dou Huang and Dou Zong, but to a Dou Zun expert... I wonder what that person is trying to do," Jin Shi said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Jin Gu gave a wry smile: "No matter what that person wants to do, we can't refuse, can we? We can only pray that they don't do anything reckless... After all, this Heavenly Eye Blood Pool is the lifeline of our Gold-Eating Rat clan..."

"I hope so..."

The two exchanged a glance and both sighed. But unnoticed by either of them, Lin Ran silently stepped into the dark space and once again disappeared into the depths of the blood pool.

The crimson energy enveloped Lin Ran's entire body once more. The medicinal effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill, hidden within Lin Ran's body, were drawn out again upon sensing this crimson energy and continued to merge.

"call……"

Feeling the effects within his body, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, I made it in time. Although the energy intensity has weakened somewhat, I should be able to absorb the remaining medicinal effects without much trouble."

"This is really a headache. Who goes into seclusion to cultivate and then gets pulled away to do meridian warming for someone else? I'm probably the only one in the world who does this."

Lin Ran shook his head helplessly, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts. He formed cultivation hand seals again and gradually closed his eyes.

This time, he must absorb all the medicinal effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill!
