Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 193 Lin Ran Battles Two Venerables!

"I didn't expect even the Eight Heavenly Venerables' Prison Grounds would come, and judging from their tone... the Fourth Heavenly Venerable Blood River must be here too..."

Above the Holy City Square, within the distorted spatial barrier, Elder Lin frowned as he gazed at the two terrifying figures that had appeared in the sky: "This time, that kid Lin Ran is probably in big trouble."

Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain is at the peak of Seven Star Dou Zun, while Eight Heavens Venerable Prison is at the peak of Eight Star Dou Zun.

As for the Four Heavenly Venerables, Blood River, he was at the peak of the First Transformation Dou Zun realm!

"Searching for ancient clan experts... It seems the Soul Palace has already noticed the cooperation between the clan leader and that brat Lin Ran..." Elder Han's eyes narrowed slightly: "Well, let's just play it by ear. That brat Lin Ran has a lot of hidden cards up his sleeve. Although Blood River is strong, don't underestimate this kid."

Old Lin's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed softly, "...That's the peak of the first-stage Dou Zun. No matter how many trump cards this kid has, such a huge gap in cultivation level can never be bridged."

"Then what do you want to do? With the strength of the two of us, let alone Blood River, we probably wouldn't be a match for even the old ghost Zhaixing who was just killed by Lin Ran."

"Of course we can't, but there are already quite a few powerful individuals in the clan who are very interested in this Pure Yang Physique, for example..."

As if realizing something, Old Han's pupils suddenly contracted, and he lowered his voice, saying, "You mean that one?!"

"Ah, be careful what you say..."

While the two were talking, the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerables in the sky had already started fighting with Lin Ran.

"The Heaven-rank combat skill that this kid has mastered is extremely terrifying. Even I wouldn't dare to take it head-on." Eight Heavenly Venerable Prisoner said in a deep voice, "We can't give him the chance to unleash a combat skill of this level."

"Of course I know!"

Nine Heavens Venerable's eyes flashed, then a fierce glint appeared in them. Without saying a word, he clenched his fist, and the chilling energy of the surrounding world rapidly condensed, eventually forming a layer of black crystal that enveloped his right palm. At the same time, he stepped into the void, and his figure mysteriously vanished under the watchful eyes of many.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Seeing that the Nine Heavens Venerable had vanished in a flash, the expressions of the powerful figures changed slightly. This speed was completely beyond their reach.

Lin Ran's eyes also suddenly narrowed. Without the slightest hesitation, his powerful pure Yang fighting spirit burst forth, and his hands crossed in front of him in an instant.

The next moment, the figure of the Nine Heavens Venerable appeared and struck down with a palm. Although Lin Ran defended in time, his body was still blasted away.

At that instant, a chilling aura swept from behind Lin Ran, and the Eight Heavenly Venerables Prison had appeared behind him without anyone noticing.

Compared to this chilling aura, the Ice Venerable Force that Lin Ran once taught Little Fairy Doctor was nothing at all. The icy and frigid chill of this aura seemed to freeze the entire world!

"metropolitan!!"

"metropolitan!!"

Exclamations rose and fell; the attacks of these two Soul Palace Celestial Venerables were too fierce, and their coordination was extremely ingenious.

However, just as the icy palm print from the prison was about to land, a layer of purple-gold battle qi suddenly burst out from Lin Ran's body. The surging aura caused Lin Ran's figure to stop abruptly in mid-air. At the same time, purple-gold lightning flashed under his feet, and Lin Ran's figure dodged the icy palm print at the limit!

"That's interesting..."

His attack missed, and the Eight Heavenly Venerable Prisoner frowned slightly: "Seven Star Dou Venerable... a special secret technique for forcibly enhancing strength, is that it?"

Pure Yang Battle Qi of purple-gold continuously condensed within the space, and accompanied by dazzling purple-gold radiance, Lin Ran's figure slowly emerged from it.

"Indestructible, immune to all poisons, indestructible, supremely invincible..."

"And there's dragon energy..."

Suddenly, the Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain seemed to notice something, his eyes widening as he stared intently at Lin Ran: "Dragon scales, dragon aura... it's actually the Ancient Void Dragon! So that's how it is. You really do have some skills, kid. No wonder you were able to recover from your injuries in just two years and even increase your strength to this level. It turns out you fused your own bloodline with that of the Ancient Void Dragon!"

A purple-gold light burst forth from the distorted space, and Lin Ran's figure emerged from it.

Lin Ran, who originally had white hair and black eyes, a slender figure, and wore a black robe, was now bathed in purple-gold divine light. His eyes were like the sun, radiating purple-gold divine light, and fine dragon scales seemed to unfold all over his body, giving him a magnificent aura.

"Holy Essence Ignites Blood!"

With his purple-gold eyes fixed on the Nine Heavenly Venerables and the Eight Heavenly Venerables, Lin Ran's deep voice rang out. The next moment, his figure transformed into a purple-gold glimmer and vanished instantly.

In an instant, Lin Ran's figure appeared, his purple-gold iron fist, covered with dragon scales and resembling a dragon's claw, carrying a fierce and domineering force, and slammed towards the head of the Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain.

"What?!"

As the fist rapidly enlarged in his pupils, the Nine Heavens Venerable's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly raised his arms to block it, managing to catch it head-on. However, the terrifying force directly caused the old man's entire arm to go numb.

His body was also staggering backwards!

"A Seven-Star Dou Zun... with this level of power and Dou Qi burst... this level of amplification, how is this possible?!"

With a single punch that repelled the Nine Heavens Venerable, Lin Ran's expression remained unchanged. His body trembled, and as if by teleportation, he instantly appeared in front of the Eight Heavens Venerable's prison. His dragon fist roared, and his attack was fierce.

Faced with Lin Ran appearing in an instant, the Eight Heavenly Venerable Prisoner frowned, his hand forming a hand seal with lightning speed, and then a low, muffled shout came from his throat.

As the shout rang out, the chilling energy in the surrounding world rapidly condensed into layers of frost, as if even space itself was frozen. Layer upon layer of frost blocked Lin Ran's path, but Lin Ran's fist actually pierced through the ice and landed directly on the Eight Heavenly Venerables' Prison.

With a muffled groan, the prisoner was actually knocked back more than ten steps by Lin Ran's punch, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"The power of space..."

If it were just about movement, even if Lin Ran was that fast, he would definitely be hindered by his fighting skills.

Lin Ran, however, was completely unaffected. His mastery of spatial power was so great that even though he was a peak eight-star Dou Zun, he was still inferior to Lin Ran!

"What's wrong with this kid?!"

"Holy Essence Burning Blood is a special secret technique created by the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts based on Lin Ran's pure Yang body and combined with the Blissful Technique," Prisoner said in a deep voice. "This secret technique can tap into the pure Yang power of a pure Yang body in a short period of time, comprehensively enhancing the caster's power."

"But what this power consumes is the blood and energy of a pure Yang body, which is extremely harmful to the user. This move was specially created by the three Scorpion Demons to temper this kid's pure Yang body."

"So, as long as his blood and energy are almost depleted, he will be unable to withstand it on his own, even without our intervention?" Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain said in a deep voice.

"That's under normal circumstances..." Eight Heavenly Venerable Prisoner took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "This kid used some means to fuse with the essence blood of the Ancient Void Dragon. Now he is completely a human-shaped Ancient Void Dragon."

"Furthermore, coupled with the inexhaustible and ever-renewing nature of the Pure Yang Body, and the Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques..."

"Eighth Brother, are you scared?!"

"Afraid?" The Eighth Heavenly Venerable stared intently at him, a slight tremor appearing in his white eyes. "Don't joke around. I'm worried about Fourth Brother and the ancient clan experts who might be lurking in the shadows!"

"Then let's finish this quickly!" Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain sneered, "If the two of us join forces, we can even fight a Nine-Star Dou Zun. So what if this kid has fused with the essence blood of the Ancient Void Dragon? Even if he is a real Ancient Void Dragon, we are not afraid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yu's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He clenched his fist, and a vast wave of energy emanated from his palm. As this energy spread, the world quickly became damp, and raindrops began to condense in the sky. From a distance, they appeared densely packed, almost without end.

Lin Ran could clearly sense that the raindrops contained extremely rich water-based energy. Although this energy was relatively mild and gentle, it possessed an extremely strong corrosive quality.

If this single, strange raindrop were to travel at high speed, it would likely be enough to easily pierce through the battle qi defense of a Dou Huang powerhouse!

"Freeze!"

The Nine Heavens Venerable's expression was also extremely solemn at this moment. As his hand seals changed, a sharp shout suddenly rang out from his mouth.

As the Nine Heavens Venerable roared, the strange raindrops that filled the heavens and earth trembled. Then, with a whooshing sound that ripped through the heavens and earth, they rushed toward the former. Finally, they rapidly condensed in front of the Nine Heavens Venerable. In the blink of an eye, a huge azure rainball about a hundred feet long slowly appeared.

The rainball was enormous, entirely azure in color. As it slowly rotated, the overwhelming energy that spread outwards caused many people to turn pale. If this energy were to explode, this entire mountain range would likely be reduced to flat ground in an instant.

As the rainball took shape, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable on the side also took a deep breath, raised his palm, and faced the rainball from afar. A chilling, white aura suddenly burst forth from his palm, finally adhering to the rainball.

"Click, click!"

The pure white ice spread rapidly when it touched the rainball. In a short moment, the azure rainball turned into a huge ice ball, and the energy contained within it became increasingly terrifying!

The combined power of the fighting techniques used by two top experts from the Soul Hall was enough to make a person's soul disappear!

"That's really terrifying..."

Gazing at the enormous ice sphere before him, and feeling the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from it, Lin Ran took a deep breath, his eyes resolute.

The power of this move is indeed terrifying. The combined attack of a peak seven-star Dou Zun and a peak eight-star Dou Zun is undoubtedly at the level of a nine-star Dou Zun!

"I originally intended to save it for that Fourth Heavenly Venerable Blood River, but since you two old geezers are so eager to die, then let you experience it first!"

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

"It's that Heaven-Rank Battle Technique!"

Seeing this, the Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain said in a deep voice, "But in terms of strength, our combined attack is definitely stronger than it, so there's nothing to fear!"

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable also snorted coldly, his hands flashing as he formed a series of hand seals. A moment later, his face suddenly turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the huge ice ball. A furious roar suddenly rang out.

"Rain erodes the sky!"

A domineering roar resounded through the sky. The two Heavenly Venerables pushed their hands forward with force, and the huge ice ball trembled and suddenly began to spin at high speed. Finally, with a deafening whooshing sound, it rushed towards Lin Ran like lightning.

As the ice puck hurtled through the air, terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from it, causing the surrounding space to crumble inch by inch. A massive, pitch-black spatial rift, hundreds of feet long, emerged from the void like a black ribbon.

"Nothing to fear?"

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Ran's lips, and the radiance within the dragon claw reached its peak at this moment, as if a sun were 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 old man Mu Gu, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Corpse Soul Puppet in the distance, suddenly froze, and then let out a mournful roar.

"Two Celestial Venerables, this is not the Great Sun Holy Yang Palm! This is a different move! This is a different move!"

"What?!"

The expressions of the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerables changed slightly.

Does this kid possess other Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques?!

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.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present was shocked, but the most shocked of all were Elder Lin and Elder Han, who were continuously constructing a spatial wormhole below.

"This move..."

Elder Lin stared blankly at Lin Ran in the sky, who seemed to be capable of annihilating all things. His lips moved slightly: "Is this my clan's secret treasure, the Great Annihilation Technique?"

Elder Han's expression was solemn. The Great Annihilation Technique was no ordinary technique. Even the two of them were not qualified to cultivate it. However, Lin Ran not only mastered it, but judging from his appearance, he had also integrated it with the Heaven-rank combat technique he had mastered!

"It is indeed the Great Annihilation Technique, but where did this kid obtain our clan's secret technique? This is something only our clan's most outstanding geniuses can cultivate..."

"Wait, could it be... Miss?"
