Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 195 The Five Great Strange Flames!

"Blood Transformation Technique, Great Blood Devouring Art!"

The Four Heavenly Venerables' faces were contorted with rage, and a sinister roar resounded through the heavens and earth like thunder.

As his shout fell, within a thousand feet, all the strong individuals whose strength was below the Dou Zun level exploded in that instant, turning into streams of blood that continuously poured into their bodies!

Most of the people in this area are from the Holy Rain Sect. Fortunately, Lin Ran's battle with several Dou Zun was fierce, and the core members of the Holy Rain Sect were not located here. Otherwise, if this AOE attack had been activated, the entire Holy Rain Sect would probably have been wiped out!

Even so, those who were close by still died, their blood being devoured by the Four Heavenly Venerables.

Of course, this level of improvement is negligible for beings of Lin Ran and Xuehe's caliber, better than nothing. Therefore, after devouring all the blood, Xuehe's gaze immediately fell on the Eight Heavenly Venerables' Prison. The latter froze, a chill running down his spine.

Fortunately, Blood River's gaze only lingered briefly on Prisoner before settling on another section.

Following the gaze of the Blood River, Lin Ran realized something was wrong and quickly grabbed at that space with his dragon claw!

The terrifying spatial power collided with the Blood River's frightening battle aura. In the next moment, two figures were pulled out from the point where the energy converged and flew towards the direction where Lin Ran and the Blood River were.

The two were silent; they were none other than the Star-Picking Old Ghost and the Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain, who had already been killed by Lin Ran. However, the former flew towards Lin Ran, while the more powerful Demon Rain fell into the hands of the Blood River.

"You reacted very quickly."

Looking at the corpse of the Star-Picking Old Ghost floating in Lin Ran's hand, Xuehe snorted coldly, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Old Ghost Zhaixing and Demon Rain are the strongest survivors on the field so far. If he can absorb all their power in one go using the Great Blood Devouring Technique, his strength will be greatly enhanced in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, Lin Ran, relying on his own Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline, forcibly seized the corpse of Zhaixing Old Ghost, leaving him with only Mo Yu's remains.

"Well, at least we got some..."

"Blood Transformation Technique, Great Blood Devouring Art!"

With a furious roar, Blood River caused Demon Rain's body to twist violently. In the next instant, his body was transformed into a massive amount of foul-smelling blood, which then flowed into Blood River's body.

As the blood of the Demon Rain was swallowed by the Blood River, the aura of the Blood River suddenly fluctuated greatly, and a terrifying pressure spread across the sky!

"How ruthless..."

Sensing the surging aura of the Blood River, a look of solemnity flashed across Lin Ran's eyes. At the same time, he hurriedly put the corpse of the Star-Picking Old Ghost into his storage ring.

If this guy gets swallowed by the Blood River again, then things will be really serious!

"By forcibly absorbing vital energy, this guy's strength has probably doubled."

The difference between the peak of Dou Zun and the Half-Saint is only one step, but that step is like a chasm between heaven and earth. The gap between the two is terrifying and indescribable.

This short, seemingly insignificant step has led countless talented individuals to their tragic end, filled with regret until their very last breath.

The reason for this is that within this short distance lies a unique cultivation method, which can only be sensed by those who approach this level of expertise.

Lin Ran was able to know these things because of the information presented in the original work, but the most important reason was that the three Scorpion Demons were all stuck at this level.

In the Central Plains, some top experts call this unique cultivation method "Nine Revolutions to Sainthood"!

The so-called Nine Revolutions is a quantifier specifically used to measure the gap between the peak of Dou Zun and the Half-Saint. After all, the gap between the two is so terrifying that a seemingly subtle but actually huge level must be used to distinguish them.

The Nine Revolutions is actually not complicated. Simply put, it can be described as nine condensations and compressions.

When a powerful expert at the peak of Dou Zun has enough Dou Qi in his body and can no longer increase it, that is when the Nine Revolutions begin. At this time, he needs to condense and compress all the Dou Qi in his body, so that a space that can accommodate new Dou Qi will appear in his full body again.

Once the battle qi is full again, it must be refined again!

Repeat this process nine times to achieve the Great Perfection!

The fighting spirit within the body will also undergo a qualitative change under this compression, allowing it to leap across the immeasurable chasm and truly advance to the Saint rank!

Therefore, some powerful individuals who have reached this level refer to this cultivation hidden within the peak of Dou Zun as the Nine Revolutions!

Only after nine cycles of transformation can one become a saint!

The Nine Revolutions may sound simple, but in reality, it's incredibly difficult to cultivate. Just imagine how terrifying the amount of battle qi a peak Dou Zun expert can hold. To fill it up, and to fill it up nine times, is a truly terrifying requirement.

Blood River's original strength was at the peak of the first-stage Dou Zun, but now it seems that his power is even approaching the level of the third-stage.

Although this aura is powerful, as long as it is still a Dou Zun, Lin Ran still has the confidence to fight against it!

"Kid, it's time to end this!"

As their aura surged, the eyes of the four Heavenly Venerables grew increasingly bloodshot.

Although this blood-transforming technique can absorb energy from human blood, its side effects are quite severe.

Within a month of its application, his body will be on the verge of death.

In that state, even a Dou Wang level person could easily kill him. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Four Heavenly Venerables generally wouldn't dare to use such a secret technique. However, the current situation is really special. Lin Ran's combat power has completely exceeded his expectations. The Pure Yang Dragon Body's physical strength, which is like a cheat code, actually allowed Lin Ran, a peak five-star Dou Zun, to suppress him, a peak first-turn Dou Zun. This is really hard for Xue He to accept.

If he doesn't use it, not only will the mission fail completely, but he himself will probably be defeated in his fight with Lin Ran.

This is something he cannot tolerate!

"roar!"

With bloodshot eyes fixed on Lin Ran, the Fourth Heavenly Venerable's face revealed a sinister smile, and a chilling growl came from his throat: "Eighth Brother, seal off the heavens and earth, suppress this brat's spatial power!"

"Yes, Fourth Brother!"

Although Mo Yu's fate was tragic, he was already dead, and his usefulness had been put to good use. Therefore, the Eight Heavenly Venerables did not show any particular expression when imprisoned there.

After Blood River gave the order, Prisoner, despite being severely injured, immediately activated his battle qi to resist Lin Ran's spatial power. Blood River, on the other hand, let out a low roar like a wild beast. Immediately afterward, terrifying blood-red mist surged out of his body, eventually gathering into thick blood clouds in the sky, filling the heavens and earth with a stench!

Looking at the blood-red clouds in the sky, Lin Ran frowned slightly.

"The Strange Fire is the most powerful and yang element in the world, explosive and terrifying, and can be called the nemesis of all evil spirits. Since Xiao Yan in the original work used this move, then I will also..."

Sensing the terrifying energy condensed within the blood cloud, Lin Ran raised his right palm, and with a whoosh, the brilliant Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame roared up. With a thought, the brilliant Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame instantly split into three, transforming back into the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the Meteor Heart Flame, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

As the three strange flames appeared, a terrifying high temperature immediately spread out, directly burning away all the surrounding stench.

After summoning three strange flames, Lin Ran took a deep breath, suddenly raised his palms, and opened them in a fist, one on the left and one on the right. At the same time, his calm voice suddenly rang out in the sky.

"Vice Hall Master of the Pill Hall, may I borrow the Sea Heart Flame?"

"Wh-what?!"

Everyone present was stunned. The old man Mu Gu, who was still fighting with the Corpse Soul Puppet, stared at the three strange flames floating around Lin Ran. He was already horrified, but after hearing Lin Ran's words, he was even more shocked and his face turned extremely ugly!

Is Hai Xin Yan here too?!

Sure enough, this kid had already killed Han Feng and seized the Sea Heart Flame. He even lied to me before!

Just as everyone was stunned, a wisp of deep blue flame actually floated out from the space.

The deep blue fire looked extremely mysterious. As the flames rose, they spread out slowly like clear seawater, with faint ripples, like waves on water.

It is the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking!

The Sea Heart Flame hovered quietly in front of Lin Ran, and then surprisingly floated onto Lin Ran's left palm on its own. It was so obedient that it didn't look like a strange flame at all, but rather more like a pet.

Feeling the sea flame in his left palm, Lin Ran nodded calmly, and his calm voice rang out again.

"Fellow Daoists of the Academy, may I borrow the Fallen Heart Flame?"

"What?!"

The two elders, Qianbai and Suqian, who were secretly observing, froze for a moment, while Suqian was completely dumbfounded.

No, we were already prepared to stand by and watch, so how could we drag them into this?

Su Qian's expression was somewhat conflicted. Lin Ran's combat power was truly terrifying. He first killed the Old Ghost Zhaixing, then killed the Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain, severely injured the Eight Heavens Venerable Prisoner, and now he was even fighting against the Four Heavens Venerable Blood River.

"Elders, centenarians, what about us..."

"Buzz!!"

Before Su Qian could speak again, and before the two elders could answer, the enormous Heavenly Flame Refining Tower suddenly began to tremble slightly. The next moment, to the astonishment of the three, an invisible fire serpent burst forth from the tower.

The spatial barrier that had enveloped the entire Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and the entire inner courtyard was now as if it were nothing. The fire serpent darted away and disappeared directly into the space.

"this……"

The two elders looked at each other with incredibly complex expressions. Su Qian opened his mouth, but could only let out a sigh full of helplessness.

There's really no such thing as a free lunch.

Almost all the spatial barriers of Canaan Academy were created by Lin Ran or repaired by him. At this moment, Lin Ran needs the Fallen Heart Flame, but these 'masters' of the Fallen Heart Flame have no power to control it at all.

"Why don't we make a move now?" Su Qian whispered.

"It's too late. Besides, adding flowers to brocade is far less valuable than providing charcoal in the snow. If we didn't intervene earlier, it would seem somewhat deliberate to do so now." Elder Qian sighed and shook his head. "Moreover, that level of battle is beyond our ability to interfere."

Su Qian's face was grim: "After this matter is over, I'm afraid we'll..."

"We didn't stop Sect Master Lin from summoning the Fallen Heart Flame, which already shows our sincerity. I think Sect Master Lin should understand our predicament." Elder Bai shook his head: "The academy must ultimately maintain its neutrality."

"Can……"

"No need to worry, actually, the two of us contacted the dean some time ago."

"We've made contact with the dean?!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qian's expression, which had been full of trouble, immediately changed, and she looked at the two elders, Qian Bai and Er Lao, with a face full of surprise.

With Lin Ran's appearance, Canaan Academy's transcendent status in the Black Corner Region was no longer what it once was. Although the Holy Rain Sect and Lin Ran did not bring much threat or suffering to Canaan Academy, that kind of invisible threat was always extremely difficult for them to deal with.

To place one's future and safety in the hands of others is extremely difficult for anyone to accept, but they had no choice. Lin Ran and the Holy Rain Sect's overwhelming strength left them with no other option.

At this moment, the two elders, Qianbai and Erlao, actually said that they had already contacted the dean!

"If the dean could come back, things might really be different!"

Su Qian murmured, seemingly straightening her back slightly: "But in this battle... I wonder who will emerge victorious."

……

Four strange flames quietly hovered around Lin Ran's body, and when the invisible Fallen Heart Flame crossed space and landed in Lin Ran's hand, the entire audience erupted in uproar once again.

"Two Fallen Heart Flames? How is this possible?!"

Elder Mu Gu let out an incredulous exclamation, his eyes fixed on the two Fallen Heart Flames swirling around Lin Ran: "One mature form, one juvenile form, this, this..."

"Five different flames, is this the foundation of the Pure Yang Body?"

The Eight Heavenly Venerables were also filled with shock. Five strange flames, this terrifying power was simply unheard of. Moreover, Lin Ran's posture clearly indicated that he had some top-level fighting technique up his sleeve.

Five different flames, combined with a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique...

Prisoner's eyes flickered. This aura... even though Fourth Brother is strong, it's really hard to say.

If Fourth Brother loses...

Not only were the Soul Palace members shocked, but the Holy Rain Sect members were equally astonished. Inside the Pill Hall, Han Feng, who had handed over the Sea Heart Flame, was filled with envy.

Five different flames! There are five different flames in total! If he could possess five different flames, how strong would he be with the blessing of the Burning Technique?

However, it seems the sect leader doesn't rely on his own battle qi to control these strange flames...

"Could it be that the sect leader hasn't cultivated the Burning Technique?"
