Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 191 The Soul Palace Attacks!

"I knew I wouldn't die like this! A pure Yang body, blessed by heaven, with boundless good fortune!"

When Mu Qingluan arrived at the stone tower, she happened to hear Feng Xian's loud laughter.

Looking at the space shimmering with light before him, Feng Xian laughed heartily, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.

He gave the spatial node coordinates of the Starfall Pavilion to Lin Ran alone, in order to build an ultra-long spatial wormhole that could span the Northwest Continent and the Starfall Pavilion.

However, due to the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts, Lin Ran had been out of contact for two whole years, so this matter could only be left to wait.

In the past two years, Feng Xian had considered searching the Northwest Continent, but the threat posed by the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts was too great. Because of Mu Qingluan, those three old guys had long coveted the Starfall Pavilion. If he did not take charge of the Starfall Pavilion, the entire Starfall Pavilion would likely suffer a great calamity.

Therefore, Feng Xian was always unable to spare the time and could only send his disciples to explore the Northwest Continent.

However, those disciples gained very little in the Northwest Continent, and no one even mentioned the name Lin Ran in the Northwest Continent, which made Feng Xian somewhat disheartened.

(To avoid attracting the attention of the Scorpion Demons and others, everything about Lin Ran was concealed by the Holy Rain Sect and the two great empires during the time Lin Ran was unconscious.)

Without Lin Ran, he lost his only means of contacting Yao Chen. Even if Yao Chen was still alive and had a soul, the world was so vast that he had nowhere to look for him.

At this moment, the spatial signal flashed again, which meant that Lin Ran was still alive, and that he could still find Yao Chen!

How could Feng Xian not be excited and thrilled?!

Mu Qingluan looked at Feng Xian with a face full of surprise: "Teacher, could it be that...?"

"Ah, the Sect Master is still alive, and he's preparing to construct a spatial wormhole with the Starfall Pavilion!" Feng Xian took a deep breath, suppressing his overwhelming joy, and said in a deep voice, "Qingluan, go and summon all the elders to the Starfall Hall. I need to convene an elders' council!"

"I have decided to close the mountain gates immediately. All matters will be discussed after the spatial wormhole is completed."

"Yes, Master!"

Mu Qingluan nodded heavily.

She naturally understood the gravity of the matter. If Lin Ran hadn't died, then once the spatial wormhole was completed, they could completely connect with Lin Ran and the Holy Sect.

Putting everything else aside, if the Starfall Pavilion Master, who has never shown up, could return, the Starfall Pavilion's strength would increase dramatically!

And then there's Lin Ran...

Mu Qingluan quickened her pace and even activated her battle qi wings, but she hadn't flown far when her hand instinctively fell to her waist.

"I need to tell that guy about this too..."

……

The construction of the spatial wormhole has always been a secret, so the elders of the Starfall Pavilion were unaware of it.

However, the Starfall Pavilion is Feng Xian's personal fiefdom, so with him around, this is naturally not a problem.

Under Feng Xian's leadership, the elders above the Dou Zong level joined forces to continuously gather and activate spatial power, accelerating the construction of the spatial wormhole.

With the Starfall Pavilion's response, Lin Ran's pressure was greatly reduced, and with the joint efforts of both sides, the progress of the space wormhole continued to improve.

However, just as everyone was working together to expand the space wormhole, the entire holy city suddenly trembled, and an unparalleled, terrifying pressure erupted from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a cold shout filled with murderous intent resounded across the sky!

"Lin Ran, come out and face your death!"

In an instant, all the members of the Holy Rain Sect stood up, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty as they gazed at the distant sky.

Although they couldn't see what was happening outside, they could feel the suffocating and terrifying aura emanating from it!

Even Lin Ran himself didn't possess this level of pressure back then, and the opponent's approach was fierce. Judging from the situation... the Holy Rain Sect is likely to face a great calamity today!

Meanwhile, at Canaan Academy, Elder Qianbai and others gathered, their faces solemn as they gazed at the sky.

"People from the Soul Hall?" Elder Su Qian frowned deeply.

"And there are two Dou Zun and thirteen Dou Zong..." Elder Qian's gaze was solemn as he spoke in a low voice, "Adding to that the powerful auras, the Soul Palace is probably serious this time."

"What?! Two Dou Zun and thirteen Dou Zong?!"

Su Qian was speechless; what a terrifying power this was!

It should be noted that back then, even as a beginner Dou Zong, he was a top-tier combatant in the Black Corner Region. Even though his prestige had diminished considerably due to Lin Ran, a Dou Zong-level existence was still considered top-tier combatant here.

But now...

A hint of fear appeared in Su Qian's eyes, but neither Elder Qian nor Elder Bai showed any other expression.

Taking two deep breaths to calm himself, Su Qian clenched his fists and whispered, "Elder Qian, Elder Bai, what should we do?"

"Us..."

The two elders, Qian and Bai, exchanged glances. Elder Bai remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Su Qian, the reason why Canaan Academy has been able to stand for so long on the continent is because we have always been neutral and have never favored anyone. This is also why those big families and powerful forces are able to place their younger generation here with us."

"But Lin Ran is, after all, an elder of our Canaan Academy..."

"It's just a temporary designation."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian understood and said nothing more. She simply pursed her lips and could only wish Lin Ran good luck.

"Soul Palace..."

Holy Rain Sect, within the Holy City.

Accompanied by that cold shout, countless figures appeared on the Holy City. However, when everyone saw the newcomers, they couldn't help but gasp.

The sky above the Holy City is now completely enveloped by a thick black mist. Within that mist, nearly a hundred figures stand, their sinister gazes devoid of any emotion, as if they were looking at the dead, staring down at the members of the Holy Sect.

"That guy is... Old Ghost Zhaixing?!"

Above the Holy City Square, within the spatial barrier.

Looking at the many familiar faces appearing in the sky, Old Han frowned: "And Elder Mu Gu..."

Both of these people from the Soul Palace have quite impressive backgrounds.

Needless to say, Old Ghost Zhaixing is a veteran Dou Zun powerhouse with the strength of a peak five-star Dou Zun, even comparable to a six-star. Among the many Dou Zun in the Soul Palace, his strength is among the best.

Although Elder Mu Gu was only a beginner-level Dou Zun, he was an eighth-grade alchemist with a genuine Spirit Realm soul!

This force is so powerful that it can easily overwhelm any power in the Northwest Continent, and it is extremely formidable and terrifying even in the Central Plains.

"Lin Ran, are you still going to hide? I suppose so. Without the protection of the Scorpion Demon and the Three Ghosts, you can only hide when facing us."

The old ghost of the stars stared at the holy city below with a sinister gaze, his tone cold and his eyes full of resentment.

Last time, he was summoned by Elder Mu Gu for help, but Lin Ran defeated him in a three-on-one battle, causing him to flee in disgrace.

I've come here today to get my revenge and repay Lin Ran a thousandfold for what he did to me!

The cold shout fell, but it did not elicit any response. Seeing this, Old Ghost Zhaixing could not help but sneer. He turned his gaze to Elder Mugu beside him, sneered, and said coldly, "Mugu, since Lin Ran can't hide, why don't we slaughter this Black Corner Region clean? Then he will have nowhere to hide."

"Ah, it just so happens that our prince is a little short of his quota this year..."

The old man Mu Gu also had a fierce look on his face, and his body was filled with black aura, which was cold and menacing.

His biggest grudge was with Lin Ran. The last time he was defeated by Lin Ran, he was not only seriously injured, but also punished by the Soul Palace for causing the death of Gray Heavenly Venerable.

In addition, the old ghost Zhaixing harmed him and even took away several rank-eight pills from him, making his losses even more serious!

And all of this is because of Lin Ran!

The old ghost who picks stars and the old man who admires bones exchange a glance, both revealing a sinister and ferocious expression.

The old ghost who picks stars sneered and suddenly waved his hand.

"Let's wash this place in blood!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing the cold shout of the Old Ghost of Star Picking, the numerous Soul Palace experts also shouted in unison, their powerful battle qi erupting forth. Then, amidst a series of clattering sounds, pitch-black chains swept down from the sky.

The green-clad men's expressions changed drastically, and they forcibly activated their battle qi to resist. At the same time, the green-clad man hurriedly activated the Sacred Jade Token.

Accompanied by a strange spatial fluctuation, a figure dressed in black robes suddenly appeared in front of countless Soul Palace experts, forcefully blocking their attacks.

The sight caused the entire space to fall silent, and countless eyes fell on the black-robed figure, their gazes filled with shock.

To be able to withstand the combined attack of so many Soul Hall experts, this guy's strength...

"This is... a puppet?!"

"It's actually a puppet comparable to a three-star Dou Zun, which is quite rare. Leave it to me!" Elder Mu Gu said coldly, looking at the black-robed figure floating in mid-air.

The Corpse Soul Puppet originally only had a one-star strength, but it could increase its strength through killing and bloodlust. Over the years, although the Corpse Soul Puppet had always focused on protecting the Holy Rain Sect, its combat power had gradually increased to the level of a three-star puppet.

"Alright, then I'll take care of the killing spree!"

The old ghost of the Star-Picking Sect smiled sinisterly, and with a swift movement, he charged towards the crowd below. At the same time, the Soul Hall experts also began to move.

A surging aura swept across the sky, and the terrifying battle qi, accompanied by the Soul Palace's unique soul power and battle qi, plunged the entire Holy City into a deathly silence, making it resemble a dead city filled with deathly aura.

Dark souls press down on the city, threatening to destroy it!

"Ah, they certainly seem to be coming on strong..."

Looking at the crowd descending from the sky, Lin Ran's eyes were deep and cold.

Although he had anticipated that the Soul Palace or the Scorpion Demons would come, he never expected them to arrive so quickly.

He had only been awake for a few days when the Soul Palace had already come knocking on his door!

There was only one Soul Puppet at the Dou Zun level, which could at most stop Elder Mu Gu. As for Old Ghost Zhai Xing…

"Gentlemen, this spatial passage is about to be completed. Please continue to maintain it. As for these people from the Soul Palace..." Lin Ran took a deep breath, took a step, and was already on the Holy City.

"Let me do it!"

The next moment, a dazzling purple-gold light burst forth from Lin Ran's body, and the powerful aura of a peak five-star Dou Zun spread out like a flood.

The Soul Palace members, including Old Ghost Zhaixing, who were preparing to attack, all paused under this aura. At the same time, the figure that reassured the green-clad group slowly appeared in the sky.

"metropolitan……"

"It's the sect leader!"

"Everyone, hold on! The sect leader is back!"

The moment Lin Ran appeared, everyone's spirits lifted.

Lin Ran has always been perceived as mysterious and powerful. Even now, with a formidable enemy looming and their advance suffocating, Lin Ran's appearance is like a powerful stimulant, significantly boosting the morale of the Holy Rain Sect members.

All eyes of the Soul Palace members were fixed on Lin Ran.

"This aura... peak five-star Dou Zun?"

Sensing Lin Ran's presence, Old Ghost Zhaixing's pupils suddenly contracted.

When he first met Lin Ran, Lin Ran's strength was only a one-star Dou Zun. Even though his injuries had been healed in the past two years and he had encountered various fortuitous events, it was impossible for his strength to rise to the peak of a five-star Dou Zun!

That's a full five stars!

This five-star difference is a difference of five stars at the Dou Zun level. Ordinary people may not be able to break through this five-star difference in their entire lives, but Lin Ran did it in just two years.

"A body of pure Yang, blessed by Heaven, with boundless good fortune..."

The old man Mu Gu narrowed his eyes. "It seems this kid has had quite an opportunity in the past two years."

"A pure Yang body, huh... Lin Ran, if you had continued to hide in this Northwest Continent, you would have been difficult for us to find, but since you have taken the initiative to show yourself..."

As Lin Ran suddenly appeared, the old ghost Zhaixing's chilling voice, carrying a bone-chilling coldness, resounded throughout the world.

"Why didn't I see you barking like a dog back then?"

Hearing the sinister laugh of the Old Ghost Zhaixing, Lin Ran scoffed and interrupted him: "Back then, I was just a one-star Dou Zun, yet I utterly defeated the three of you. Today, I am a peak five-star Dou Zun, while you are merely two... What, are you tired of living?"

"If it weren't for the combat skill jade slips of the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts, how could I have been defeated by you?!"

Star-Picking Old Ghost's face was contorted with malice and resentment as he stomped his foot on the void, charging straight at Lin Ran: "Boy, this time, I will personally drag you back to the Soul Palace. Then, I will make you understand what it means to wish you were dead!"

As the old ghost of the Star-Picking Sect began to make his move, the numerous Soul Palace experts also shouted in unison, and their powerful battle qi surged forth. Then, amidst a series of clattering sounds, pitch-black chains shot out from the sky and crashed into the Holy City.

"Oh?"

Lin Ran moved his palm, and a jade slip appeared in his hand, which he crushed.

Seeing this, the attacking Old Ghost Zhaixing abruptly stopped in mid-air, his expression changed drastically, and then, under countless astonished gazes, the dignified Old Ghost Zhaixing, who possessed the strength of a peak five-star Dou Zun, actually turned and ran!

Seeing this, a mocking smile appeared on Lin Ran's lips. With a slap, the dozen or so Soul Hall experts who had attacked him were instantly reduced to dust and their souls scattered!

"Oh dear, I think I startled you."

"Lin! Ran! You're asking for it!!!"
