Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 184 Emotional Soul Infant Demon Tree

The news of Lin Ran's awakening spread quickly, and the people who received the news rushed to the Black Corner Region. Looking at the face they had been longing for day and night, the women couldn't contain their emotions.

Needless to say, Lin Ran vented his emotions, and even enjoyed the pleasure of having two women together. The double happiness of Cai Lin and Yun Yun was simply indescribable.

However, just as the three were venting their emotions, the woman in green unexpectedly barged in.

"Sect Master, the latest news about Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin... I'm sorry, I... I've come at the wrong time..."

"No, you've come at just the right time."

Amidst the exclamation of the woman in green, Lin Ran pulled her over and joined the battle.

After merging with Zi Yan's Taixu Ancient Dragon essence blood, Lin Ran's Pure Yang Dragon Body naturally had a better grasp of spatial power than before. Similarly, the aura on Lin Ran's body also had a touch more of the domineering and fierceness of the Taixu Ancient Dragon.

As for whether he had been tainted by the supposedly inherently lustful nature of dragons, Lin Ran had no idea…

The four of them indulged in passionate lovemaking, venting their emotions intensely. As the dawn of the third day rose from the horizon, Lin Ran leisurely returned to Canaan Academy.

"Thinking about these things as soon as you wake up, you really don't learn your lesson!"

Looking at Lin Ran in front of her, Xun'er sniffed lightly and clearly sensed a messy smell on Lin Ran, and immediately let out a soft snort.

Even though this guy was treated like this by the three Scorpion Demons, his nature was still the same as that of the three Scorpion Demons.

"hey-hey."

Lin Ran chuckled and naturally came to Xun'er's side. Xun'er frowned slightly, feeling uneasy, and tried to get up, but Lin Ran grabbed her arm.

"you!"

"Alright, my dear Miss Xun'er, you haven't nourished your meridians and invigorated your blood for two years. Please be good."

"Do you really think I need your so-called nourishing meridians and invigorating blood circulation?" Xun'er sneered.

"I think it's necessary. Otherwise, Miss Xun'er wouldn't have given me a portion of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame's essence to stabilize my injuries."

"You should understand that with the source of power we each possess in equal measure, if you give me a portion more, I will have a larger share. If any conflict arises between us in the future, then the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame will have to turn against me."

"If it weren't for my pure Yang power, then I could only guess that Miss Xun'er has taken a liking to me, that she would willingly relinquish control of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, which is ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking."

Lin Ran said with a smile, while raising his palm, and a purple-gold battle aura emanated from it.

"You... Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you!"

Xun'er forcibly suppressed the urge to get up and slap Lin Ran across the face. Looking at Lin Ran's grinning face, she finally gently peeled off her blue veil, revealing a work of art as beautiful as jade.

In fact, Xun'er herself knew very well that she had developed a special feeling for Lin Ran.

During the two years that Lin Ran was in a coma, she often felt uneasy. After all, every month in the past, Lin Ran would nourish her meridians, but this had not happened even once in the past two years.

According to Xun'er's original thoughts, she should be happy.

After all, nourishing the meridians was not Xun'er's original intention, but Gu Yuan's. Although she could gain a lot of benefits from this operation, Xun'er was almost always unable to accept being seen naked by Lin Ran, and it was extremely agonizing.

However, during the two years without Lin Ran, Xun'er's heart revealed her longing and yearning for Lin Ran to nourish her meridians more than once. In fact, the number of times Lin Ran appeared in her mind completely surpassed that of Xiao Yan!

In this emotional state, Xun'er would occasionally go to the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to see Lin Ran's appearance and sense his presence...

If Lin Ran knew what Xun'er was thinking at this moment, he would definitely be unable to stop the corners of his mouth from turning up.

It's not that Lin Ran is particularly charming... Perhaps Lin Ran's charm plays a part, but the most crucial factor is the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame!

Yes.

This special flame will plant a special power in the hearts of anyone who comes into contact with its power. This power will continuously generate a psychological suggestion until the host completely believes in this suggestion.

Clearly, two years have allowed the psychological suggestion in Xun'er's heart to take root and sprout!

"Hehe, hold your breath and concentrate, feel it carefully. This time, it will be very different from two years ago."

Lin Ran smiled calmly, his pure yang fighting qi, radiating a hint of purple-gold light, covered his palm. Accompanied by the spreading 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.

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.

Soon, Xun'er really noticed the difference.

If Lin Ran's pure Yang energy two years ago was like a gentle mountain spring, refreshing and cleansing the mind and body, then Lin Ran's pure Yang energy now is like surging waves and a raging waterfall.

Before she could react, Xun'er felt like a small boat tossed about in a storm, almost unable to withstand Lin Ran's strength.

"Hold your breath, concentrate, and calm your mind!"

"..."

Xun'er gritted her teeth and clenched her jade hands, forcibly enduring the impact of this force until Lin Ran dissipated the fighting energy. Xun'er immediately collapsed, panting heavily, her body covered in fine beads of sweat.

Seeing Xun'er like this, Lin Ran didn't do anything out of line this time. Instead, he took out a piece of green gauze from his storage ring and gently covered Xun'er's almost perfect work of art.

"Take it easy, today is just an appetizer."

Lin Ran said softly, "I will come again tomorrow and try to let you fully adapt to my power in the next few days. That way, the meridian nourishment every month will be of the greatest effect."

"……Um."

Xun'er weakly let out a soft groan, barely audible. Lin Ran grinned, tore through space, and left.

The empty room was now empty except for Xun'er. She gently tugged at the blue gauze covering her body, letting it drape over her shoulders. The expression in her beautiful eyes grew increasingly complex and indescribable...

After leaving Xun'er's room, Lin Ran did not look for other places, but returned to his secluded cultivation chamber in the Black Corner Region.

This secret chamber has always been Lin Ran's place of seclusion, and it is closed year-round. Even Green Robe would not easily set foot in it.

The space shattered, and Lin Ran's figure emerged. However, in the dark secret room, there was still a purple cocoon of light that was more than ten feet wide.

Although the contents of the cocoon are not clearly visible, the immense energy contained within indicates that this thing is no ordinary object.

The purple light on the surface of the cocoon flickers, like the beating of a heart, very rhythmic. If a person with keen senses were present, they would be able to perceive that every time the light of the cocoon changes, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth will fluctuate slightly. Then, all that energy will be absorbed into the cocoon, making the light of the cocoon even brighter.

Indeed, this purple cocoon of light belongs to Zi Yan, who has consumed the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill!

As an eighth-grade pill of the Five-Colored Thunder Pill level, the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill has extremely strong medicinal effects. It can naturally make up for Zi Yan's blood deficiency without any problem. Moreover, the huge energy it contains not only makes up for Zi Yan's blood deficiency, but also directly condenses all the random natural treasures that Zi Yan has eaten into her body!

Yes.

During this period, because of the long-term transfusion of essence and blood to Lin Ran, Zi Yan herself had noticed that her blood and energy were depleted, so she kept taking various rare and precious herbs to maintain this balance.

However, medicinal herbs are just medicinal herbs. Although they can replenish blood and qi to a certain extent, most of their medicinal properties are deposited in Zi Yan's meridians and body.

At this moment, the domineering effects of the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill were fully activated, allowing Zi Yan to directly begin her advancement journey!

"That's quite an unexpected surprise."

Lin Ran looked the purple cocoon up and down, then released a burst of pure yang energy to ensure it had enough battle qi before shifting his attention.

Unlike humans, monsters don't advance in rank. The time required for monsters to advance is usually quite long, not to mention that Zi Yan's true form is not an ordinary being, so her evolution is naturally more difficult.

With a slight movement of his palm, a small tree with an extremely strange appearance appeared in front of him.

The sapling is entirely grayish-silver in color, with its branches intertwined like vines. As these branches extend and outline, they form a strange arc. If viewed from a distance, one would find that the plant's posture resembles that of a heavily pregnant woman, except that the belly formed by the heavy branches is empty.

In addition, the roots of this plant were a grayish-purple color and even emitted a slightly fishy odor.

Indeed, this is the Soul Infant Demon Tree that he acquired at a high price at the Central Continent Space Trade Fair several years ago!

An ordinary Soul Infant Demon Tree is naturally beyond Lin Ran's means. The reason he was able to buy this Soul Infant Demon Tree is simply because it has been severely corroded by a special poison.

Furthermore, two years have passed since then, and the corrosion has become even more severe. The force that was stopping it has almost disappeared. It can be said that in about another year, this Soul Infant Demon Tree will inevitably be completely corroded.

"Hiss!"

Lin Ran gently channeled a bit of pure Yang battle qi into it, and immediately, a gray mist with a slightly fishy smell wafted out from the roots of the demon tree with a hissing sound.

Seeing this, Lin Ran couldn't help but frown.

No wonder he was able to take down the Soul Infant Demon Tree with a single Rank 8 pill made of four-colored lightning.

The toxin contained within the demon tree was so potent that even with the Holy Gold Meteor Heart Flame, he was unable to remove it.

Of course, it's not that there's no way. Strange Fire is the most precious treasure in the world, and the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Fire is the best among them. If Lin Ran really wants to get rid of it, he can do so by using the source of the Strange Fire.

The only problem is that once Lin Ran uses the power of the original source of the strange fire, the Soul Infant Demon Tree will probably not be able to withstand the power of the strange fire and will perish directly!

He bought it because he felt that his pure yang power had an innate ability to restrain such yin and evil power, and with the power of the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Fire, he was able to buy it.

Unexpectedly, his power was indeed able to eliminate it, but the Soul Infant Demon Tree was too weak, so much so that he was now somewhat helpless.

"No wonder it's so cheap, it's really hard to sell..."

Lin Ran frowned slightly, but did not give up.

His current need for soul power is extremely large, not only for himself, but also for many of his subordinates.

If he could obtain the Soul Infant Demon Tree that could produce Soul Infant Fruits, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the average combat strength of his own forces.

"Extremely Yin and extremely evil... poison... wait, how could I have forgotten about that!"

As if he had thought of something, Lin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at the purple light egg that was still absorbing energy, he moved his palm slightly, and the space in this secret room immediately began to wriggle strangely.

As this spatial force covered the area, the enormous commotion caused by the purple light egg absorbing energy was gradually concealed.

After doing all this, Lin Ran didn't hesitate and directly broke through space, disappearing from sight.

With this special layer of spatial energy protection, even if this secret room is opened, Zi Yan will not be discovered unless the visitor's strength surpasses Lin Ran's, otherwise there will be virtually no mistakes.

In this Northwest Continent, finding someone whose strength surpasses Lin Ran's is undoubtedly extremely rare.

……

The Izumo Empire, one of the empires of the Northwest Continent, is a long-standing enemy of the former Gama Empire. However, after the Gama Empire was replaced by the Yunlan Empire and the Izumo Empire suffered a major setback in the Battle of Gama, it began to keep a low profile.

Unlike ordinary empires, the Izumo Empire is home to a large population skilled in the use of poisons. The empire is treacherous, with many areas shrouded in poisonous fog and teeming with deadly venomous creatures. For ordinary people, it is a dangerous place, but for poison masters, it is a treasure trove.

Those poison masters who are hated by everyone in other empires can not only obtain a lot of cultivation resources here, but also enjoy an extraordinary status.

Therefore, the Yun Empire naturally became a gathering place for many poison masters.

The Izumo Empire is also located near the Black Corner Region, and with Lin Ran's speed, it only takes a short while to arrive here.

Based on the information in Green Robe's hands and his own location of the Sacred Jade Token, Lin Ran's figure quickly appeared at a towering mountain peak.

Looking into the distance, a dark and desolate thicket came into view. The trees were withered and lifeless, and many of them exuded a foul, metallic scent. The eerie gray-black color of the trees sent chills down one's spine.

Between the trees, there are occasional foul-smelling swamps, and black mist lingers in the air year after year. This is poisonous mist rising from the swamps. After years of accumulation, it is extremely toxic. If an ordinary person were to inhale it even a few times, they would likely suffer a serious accident.

But at this moment, there are quite a few people in this swamp.

These people were dressed in uniform, and solemn gazes emanated from their eyes, fixed on the front.

At their head was an old man in gray robes, and a foul, malevolent aura emanated from his body, causing the temperature in the vicinity to drop considerably.

"Battle Emperor?"

Lin Ran's figure burst out of the air, his gaze lingering briefly on the guy before gazing into the distance.

Amidst the dark gray bushes ahead, a graceful white figure stood, her gray-purple eyes gleaming with icy killing intent.

"The Calamity Poison Body has already been activated... Hmm? This is..."

Lin Ran's gaze fell to the other end in the distance, where a figure stood silently in the void.

The person exuded a chilling aura, utterly lifeless. He was none other than the Holy Rain Sect's guardian puppet, a Soul Puppet at the Dou Zong level!

Seeing this, Lin Ran's lips curled up.

"The green coat is quite well made."
