Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 196 Slaying the Four Heavenly Venerables! Master and Disciple Meet Again!

Han Feng's obsession and longing for the Burning Technique had not dissipated even at this moment, especially after learning that Yao Chen had handed the Burning Technique over to Lin Hou, his desire for the Burning Technique intensified.

Even though he knew very well that with his own strength and luck, it was impossible for him to obtain many different kinds of fire, the Burning Technique still became an obsession in his heart.

In his view, the Burning Technique is an extremely powerful cultivation method and fighting spirit. It is a unique and extraordinary cultivation method in the world that can evolve. As long as one can possess such a cultivation method, one's future achievements will be limitless.

But under this morbid mentality, Han Feng suddenly discovered that Lin Ran, who possessed three different flames, had not actually practiced the Burning Technique.

Moreover, Lin Ran's strength, and everything he displayed, without having cultivated the Burning Technique, completely exceeded his expectations and imagination.

"Pure Yang Body..."

Han Feng murmured, gazing at Lin Ran who was surrounded by five strange flames. Suddenly, he recalled his teacher's background: "The power contained within my bloodline... perhaps, this is the path I must truly walk in the future..."

Han Feng's wild thoughts were unknown to the others, because everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Ran at that moment.

Five strange flames! There are a full five strange flames!

Inside the spatial barrier, Elder Lin and Elder Han were also dumbfounded.

Five different flames—even the most skilled fire-wielding race wouldn't have been able to achieve that.

Legend has it that the clan leader had mastered the art of controlling flames to an unparalleled degree, but all he could control was a fusion of two different flames. Yet now, Lin Ran was actually controlling five different flames.

"This kid really does surprise us every time..."

Old Lin sighed, and after pondering for a moment, he put the jade slip he was holding back into his storage ring.

With five different flames and the possibility of high-level combat techniques, they did not believe that the Four Heavenly Venerables Blood River could withstand Lin Ran at this moment, even though the difference in their cultivation levels was currently quite large.

"Five strange flames..."

Looking at Lin Ran, who was surrounded by five strange flames, Xuehe's heart was extremely solemn, but he was not afraid at all. The increase in strength brought by the Demon Rain Body made him extremely confident.

Blood clouds churned in the sky, and the Blood River opened its mouth, spurting out a pillar of blood that shot directly into the blood clouds in the sky.

Instantly, the color of the blood cloud darkened further and began to churn violently. Suddenly, the blood cloud split open, and a blood-red palm print nearly a thousand feet in size burst out from within the blood cloud amidst countless horrified gazes, then slammed fiercely towards Lin Ran.

The power of that blood palm was extremely terrifying. Even though it was still thousands of feet in the sky, a super huge palm print appeared on the ground in the distance!

"So what if you have five different flames? Does having more flames make you invincible?! Die, brat!"

"Blood Demon Palm!"

"Hehe, sorry."

Hearing the Four Heavenly Venerables' furious roar, Lin Ran sneered, "In this world, strange flames really can do whatever they want!"

"The Five-Wheel Fire-Separating Method!"

A low shout came from Lin Ran's mouth, and the next moment, the five balls of flame in front of Lin Ran suddenly swelled up, and then, amidst a series of loud beast roars, they transformed into five enormous fire spirits, each a hundred feet long, hovering above Lin Ran's head.

"Freeze!"

With a sharp shout from Lin Ran, five different flames condensed. The two Fallen Heart Flames, one large and one small, condensed into a wolf spirit and a leopard spirit, respectively. The Sea Heart Flame and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame condensed into a lion spirit and a tiger spirit.

As for the most dazzling Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, it transformed into a dragon fire spirit with a body the size of a mountain!

With the five elements in harmony, an terrifying temperature immediately spread from the sky, even causing the clouds in the distant horizon to almost completely dissipate from the heat.

"Five-Wheel Fire Formation!"

As the fire spirits took shape, Lin Ran gave another cold shout. The five enormous fire spirits formed a strange formation and began to spin rapidly. Finally, amidst the howling of wind breaking through the air, they formed a massive five-colored fire disc hundreds of feet long, which spun wildly above its head. A terrifying, scorching hurricane spread out, causing even the distant blood clouds to fluctuate violently.

Five enormous fire spirits formed a strange array in the sky, and Lin Ran was at the core of the array.

At the same time, as the fire spirit was gathering, the Blood River's attack also arrived, but Lin Ran, who was at the core of the formation, showed no fear. Instead, he calmly waved his hands.

"The Five Wheels Separate from the Fire Plate!"

The five enormous fire spirits around Lin Ran roared to the sky, then suddenly began to spin rapidly. Under this terrifying spin, the space where Lin Ran was located directly cracked open, and huge black cracks, like ferocious mouths, appeared continuously in the sky.

"Bang! Bang!"

As the fire spirit spun faster and faster, it eventually transformed into a massive five-colored fire disc, two hundred feet in size. The fire disc hovered above Lin Ran's head, spinning rapidly and emitting bursts of sonic booms. The terrifying energy that spread outwards caused all the powerful figures present to pale in fear.

The next moment, the huge five-colored fire disc in the sky collided fiercely with the huge blood palm.

"boom!"

The two clashed terrifyingly, and the chilling crimson and the blazing flames exploded in the sky. A terrifying surge of energy swept across the heavens amidst shocked gazes, and in that instant, even the clouds in the sky were shattered into nothingness.

Gazing at the terrifying energy hurricane forming in the sky, the Four Heavenly Venerables' eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, having reached the third level of Dou Zun, his Blood Fiend Heavenly Demon Palm, which he was using with all his might, was no match for Lin Ran!

Run! We have to run!

This kid is simply beyond my ability to deal with. Those three bastards, the Scorpion Demon and the Three Ghosts, what kind of three-star Dou Zun combat power do they have? This kid doesn't seem to have suffered any damage to his foundation or have his source drained.

Blood River even suspected that the three scorpion demons had never severed ties with Lin Ran at all, and were simply giving their Soul Hall false information to disgust them!

Without the slightest hesitation, Blood River immediately prepared to tear through space.

But at that very moment, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly turned his head, and a face with a cold smile appeared in his eyes!

"Impossible! Your spatial power has clearly already...into the prison!!!"

Blood River was suddenly stunned. Lin Ran couldn't possibly have appeared behind him so silently. His spatial power had clearly been restricted by the Prison Land... Wait, where are the people from the Prison Land?!

Blood River's soul sense kept scanning the surroundings, but where was the prison area?

"Stop looking, that guy ran away a long time ago."

Looking at Xuehe's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Lin Ran grinned and slammed his right palm down on Xuehe's chest.

"Great Sun Holy Sun Palm!"

"The Blood Demon's Robe!"

Faced with Lin Ran's lightning-fast and fierce attack, Xuehe was also shocked. However, he was no ordinary person. Although he was furious that the prisoner was not human, he immediately activated his fighting technique. His blood suddenly flowed out from his pores and quickly formed a thick layer of blood shackles on his body.

"Bang!"

Lin Ran's Great Sun Holy Yang Palm slammed fiercely into Xue He's body, unleashing terrifying and unparalleled battle qi that directly shattered the blood shackles on the latter's body.

"Pfft!"

Despite the Blood Demon Robe's obstruction, the power of the Great Sun Holy Yang Palm still caused Blood River to spit out a mouthful of blood and break his sternum. However, his body was also propelled backward by the force of the impact.

"Trying to leave?"

As Xuehe's figure flew backward, Lin Ran snorted coldly, a chilling expression appearing on his face.

The Demon Rain is gone, the Prison has escaped, and all he gained from this battle was the Star-Picking Old Ghost. He must at least leave Blood River behind!

A Soul Puppet at the peak of the Dou Zun level will be a huge help to both Lin Ran and the Holy Rain Sect!

Lin Ran's figure appeared in front of the flying blood red in an instant. Without the help of the prison, the Blood River alone could not suppress his spatial power.

With a clenched fist, the three different flames merged once more, and the dazzling Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame covered his palm. In the horrified gaze of the Blood River, Lin Ran's hand landed heavily on the Blood River's chest.

"boom!"

With a single palm strike, Blood River's body suddenly erupted with a dazzling holy golden light. Immediately afterward, scorching hot strange fire enveloped his entire body in an instant, and his shrill screams echoed across the sky.

The raging holy flames burned away the clothes on Xuehe's body in an instant, and even his skin disappeared completely, leaving him a bloody mess.

Blood River struggled desperately, and with a flick of his finger, a jade slip appeared in his palm. He then crushed it with all his might.

"Pfft!"

As the palm blade fell, a severed arm, still clutching a jade slip, appeared in Lin Ran's hand.

"At this point, don't have these messy thoughts."

Lin Ran touched the jade slip in his hand, then put it and his arm into his storage ring. The next moment, the vast Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame erupted completely, devouring Blood River's body.

The agonizing screams and cries of agony did not last long before the flames died down. However, Lin Ran did not stop the burning of the Holy Flame. Instead, he continued to urge the Pure Yang Battle Qi until the Blood River was completely burned into a 'human body' by the Holy Flame before it gradually dissipated.

With a slight movement of his palm, Blood River's body, which had been completely tempered and condensed by the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame, was put into his storage ring.

Seeing this, some of the Soul Hall's experts realized that the situation was hopeless. They dared not linger and fled for their lives, riding on the black mist.

Without hesitation, Lin Ran waved his hand and directly controlled the Corpse Soul Puppet to begin besieging and attacking the Soul Palace experts.

What? You mean the Bone-Murderer?

When that old guy fled the prison, he simply disappeared without the slightest hesitation.

The strength of the Corpse Soul Puppet is beyond doubt. After receiving orders, the Dou Zun-level puppet could kill a group of Dou Zong-level guardians with ease. Before long, all of those guardians were killed.

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards the Holy Rain Sect. But at that moment, a strange spatial fluctuation appeared. Lin Ran subconsciously turned his body to the side. Then, a sound of flesh being torn apart suddenly rang out, and intense pain surged into his heart.

Lin Ran was shocked. Clutching his bleeding right shoulder, he quickly moved away. A familiar and unforgettable figure appeared where Lin Ran had been standing.

"Interesting. It actually managed to dodge it. Is this the bloodline power of the Ancient Dragon of the Void after fusing with the Pure Yang Body?"

Looking at that familiar face, at that figure whom he once respected so much, yet who had almost taken his life, Lin Ran's eyes revealed an unprecedented coldness and killing intent. The pure Yang fighting spirit within him even caused the surrounding space to tremble due to the violent fluctuations in his emotions.

"Why are you so excited to see me?"

Sensing Lin Ran's surging aura and emotions, the newcomer grinned, revealing a sinister smile: "Two years have passed, my good disciple has grown very quickly. That's right, after all, you only broke through from Grandmaster to Half-Saint, while Second Master and Third Master haven't gained anything yet."

"You've always been the most filial son, Lin."

"Human! Scorpion!"

Sensing Lin Ran's loss of composure and the surge of frenzied killing intent that erupted from him, the entire city looked at Lin Ran with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

Even Elder Lin and Elder Han were taken aback, their eyes immediately turning to the newcomer. But soon, they were shocked to discover that they could not sense the newcomer's presence at all.

Upon hearing the conversation between the newcomer and Lin Ran, the pupils of both of them suddenly contracted, and everyone present instantly understood the identity of the newcomer!

One of the three sect leaders of Yunyu Sect, Lin Ran's third master, and the third of the three Scorpion Demons!

"It seems you're very happy to see your third master."

The middle-aged man with the scorpion grinned: "I'm quite happy too. Such thick blood energy, such a powerful aura... If my elder brother knew about your current state, he would probably be so happy he'd lose his composure."

"Hmm, in my opinion, with your current strength, it's no problem at all for my eldest brother to break through to the Dou Sheng realm, and it might even allow my second brother and me to advance further... I can't take it anymore, just thinking about this makes me tremble with excitement!"

"Come here, Lin boy! Quickly return to your Third Master!"

As he spoke, a sickly excitement appeared on the scorpion's face. His right palm swept out, bringing with it an extremely dense and chilling aura, and rushed towards Lin Ran like lightning.

Faced with what seemed like an ordinary palm strike, Lin Ran's expression was more solemn than ever before. The Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame burst into flames, and at the same time, the Sea Heart Flame and another young Meteor Heart Flame were absorbed by him again.

Before he could continue using the Five-Round Fire Technique, the human scorpion's figure pierced through space and arrived in front of Lin Ran, already striking down with a palm.

"boom!!"
