Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 205 Heavenly Realm Soul! Medicine Saint Yao Chen!

This refining process lasted for half an hour before Lin Ran slowly dissipated the flames.

Gazing at the crystal-like ball of soul light floating before him, Lin Ran's eyes gleamed with obvious excitement. With a flick of his hand, the soul power between his brows surged forth, absorbing the soul energy from the ball of soul light like a whale swallowing its prey.

As the power of his soul merged in, a strange crystal-like layer appeared on Lin Ran's body surface. It was the manifestation of soul power overflowing due to the excessive concentration of his soul power.

"hiss……"

As that exceptionally pure primordial soul power merged into Lin Ran's soul, a faint look of intoxication appeared on Lin Ran's face.

Enveloped by these primordial souls, he felt as if his own soul was being bathed in a warm light, a sensation akin to that of a fetus in the womb.

Layers of faint, strange crystals quietly appeared on the surface of the soul's body, vaguely resembling a tangible human figure, which was extremely magical.

The soul power of this primordial soul is extremely vast. The soul power contained within it was condensed by the Soul Palace through extraction from tens of thousands of soul bodies. Even for Lin Ran, it is completely impossible to digest it all at once; he can only absorb it slowly.

If it were anything else, it would be almost impossible for the energy to be devoured like this, but this soul light ball had been condensed by Lin Ran, and there were no remnants of the soul left in it. It was like an extremely pure energy source, providing energy for Lin Ran.

"Splash!"

As more and more of the soul essence was absorbed by Lin Ran, invisible ripples slowly spread out from Lin Ran as the center.

An invisible fluctuation caused the entire main city of the Holy Rain Sect to suddenly fall silent.

At this moment, everyone in the city seemed to feel an invisible pressure. Ordinary people felt a little breathless, while the powerful ones involuntarily held their breath and looked towards the sect leader's mansion with surprised and uncertain expressions.

This level of pressure was completely beyond their expectations, because it was not a battle aura, nor a pressure based on cultivation, but rather originated from the soul realm!

As time went on, this pressure grew stronger and stronger, and many people even felt dizzy, unable to maintain their balance, and showed signs of fainting.

Upon this situation, Green Robe immediately issued an order for all personnel within the Holy City to evacuate.

Even without Green Robe's words, under Lin Ran's soul pressure, everyone ran out without stopping. Only after they ran out of the Holy City did the pressure gradually fade and the situation improve slightly.

"This level of soul pressure... the sect leader's soul realm is truly terrifying..."

"Is this the soul pressure of a high-level alchemist? It gives one the feeling that there's simply no way to resist it!"

"You still want to fight him? Dude, take a good look at yourself in the mirror! That's the sect leader! An eighth-grade alchemist, a terrifying existence at the Dou Zun level!"

Countless powerful figures from the Holy Rain Sect gazed in astonishment at the overwhelming spiritual pressure emanating from within the Holy City, filled with awe. Among them were alchemists from the Pill Hall, including Han Feng, their faces etched with surprise.

"This soul power... Heavenly Realm One."

Han Feng murmured to himself, gazing at the Holy City with intense envy.

Even with Yao Chen's guidance, his soul realm had only just touched the Spirit Realm, and he hadn't even reached the Spirit Realm yet. But Lin Ran's soul realm had already reached the Heaven Realm, which was the level his teacher, Yao Venerable Yao Chen, had reached!

"Truly worthy of being the sect leader..." Han Feng's gaze swept over the green-robed elder, and he whispered, "Elder Green, I remember there was a flesh-and-blood transplantation method in the sect. May I exchange it for contribution points?"

"A method of flesh and blood transplantation?"

The woman in green turned her head and looked at Han Feng with some surprise: "What Vice Hall Master Han is talking about should be the Mo family's transplantation method, right? That kind of method is quite inferior. If Vice Hall Master Han needs it, he can exchange for it himself."

"Thank you very much, Elder Green."

"Vice Hall Master Han, you're too kind."

Watching Han Feng leave quickly, Green Robe wondered why Han Feng would want to exchange for that thing, but she didn't care much. She immediately ordered that the entire Holy City be under lockdown until the sect leader came out of seclusion, and no one was allowed to enter.

All matters within the Holy Sect will be temporarily transferred to the nearest city, Twilight City.

At first, everyone was a little worried that their valuables might be stolen if left in the Holy City for a long time. But then they thought that the entire Holy City was under lockdown, and with Lin Ran's soul pressure, there was no way that any thieves could exist. So, no one had any objections.

Everything is back on track.

Days passed, but the soul fluctuations emanating from the holy city did not disappear; instead, they gradually grew stronger.

A month later, the Twilight City and the Earth Flame City next to the Holy City were also affected by the fluctuations.

Left with no other choice, Green Robe led everyone to relocate again, this time to Skull City.

This state lasted for another month, and during this month, many powerful individuals suddenly discovered that living under this kind of pressure for a long time not only made their soul power more condensed, but even increased its strength.

This discovery brought a pleasant surprise to many.

They are not alchemists, so their paths to enhance their soul power are naturally very limited. The fact that they have made progress under this special training is an unexpected joy. Stronger soul power will also have a significant boosting effect on cultivation.

Having tasted some success, some exceptional individuals even regarded it as a rare opportunity for training, and began to actively approach the area covered by Lin Ran's soul pressure!

Under this pressure of automatic seeking, the spiritual power of these Holy Sect disciples has advanced by leaps and bounds!

Unfortunately, this good fortune lasted for less than a month before the pressure on the soul gradually dissipated. However, everyone knew that this was because Lin Ran was about to emerge from seclusion!

Inside the secret chamber, Lin Ran sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. In front of him was a figure whose body was wrapped in a strange layer of crystal-like material. The face of this figure was exactly the same as Lin Ran's!

Before this soul figure, the ball of soul light had been completely absorbed, leaving only half the size of a fist. Even so, pure soul essence still slowly drifted out.

"call……"

The soul figure remained motionless like a sculpture. After a long while, its tightly closed mouth suddenly opened a crack, and a suction force suddenly surged out. The soul light ball, about half the size of a human head, immediately shot out and then transformed into a stream of light, entering the mouth of the soul figure!

"boom!"

As the ball of soul light entered his mouth, Lin Ran's body suddenly trembled, and a blinding light burst forth from his body. An invisible wave, as vast as heaven and earth, swept out from his body like a storm!

In that instant, the appearance of the soul figure was fully revealed, lifelike.

Soul solidification, the mark of the celestial soul!

"Boom!"

Dark clouds filled the sky. Lightning bolts flashed like silver snakes, and thunder roared throughout the space. At the same time, an invisible wave, as vast as heaven and earth, swept outwards from the holy city like a storm.

"Such terrifying soul fluctuations... Is this the soul of the Celestial Realm?"

"Compared to the sect leader's soul, I am as insignificant as a drop in the ocean..."

"How terrifying..."

Countless people stared at the sky, dumbfounded and shocked. They never expected that Lin Ran could achieve such a feat with just his soul strength.

"Heavenly Soul..."

Outside Canaan Academy, an old figure stood with a furrowed brow and a complex expression.

Behind him, the two elders, Su Qian and the other two stood respectfully, their eyes filled with awe.

"Dean, this is the current situation between our academy and Lin Ran. What do you think our next steps should be...?"

"What do you want to do?"

The elderly man, referred to as the Dean, turned his head, looked at the two elders, and snorted, "You want me to just take care of Lin Ran?"

"The Holy Rain Sect is powerful, and Lin Ran is extremely strong and unpredictable. During your absence, he has repeatedly used his strength to coerce the academy."

After a moment's hesitation, Elder Bai said helplessly, "Dean, if we can't eliminate Lin Ran, our academy may not be able to develop in the future, and may even become a training ground for the Holy Sect!"

"alright."

The old man shook his head: "I already know about Lin Ran's matter. He has no ill intentions towards the academy. I will contact him later, so you don't need to worry about it too much."

"this……"

The elder looked helpless, but could only nod.

Meanwhile, in the Holy City.

An invisible soul, like ripples on water, quietly spread out under the dark clouds, reflecting back into Lin Ran's mind the entire Holy City and even most of the Black Corner Region.

In that instant, he could sense the subtle emotional fluctuations of everyone within that area!

"So this is the soul of the Heavenly Realm?"

A low murmur echoed in Lin Ran's heart. He could clearly feel the difference between himself now and before. If his soul power before was just that of a gradually growing teenager, then now his soul was that of a strong man who had wielded a sharp weapon and had been through countless battles!

"Buzz..."

The invisible fluctuations of the soul, at Lin Ran's thought, spread out again like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, it spread like lightning at an incredible speed. In less than a minute, everything in the Holy Rain Sect was radiated into Lin Ran's mind. Moreover, the speed of the soul fluctuations not only did not slow down, but continued to expand.

An invisible wave swept over countless powerful figures, and before long, the entire Black Corner Region was completely covered by Lin Ran's soul and divine sense.

The most terrifying thing is that even though Lin Ran was so swaggering and recklessly spreading his soul, no one in the entire Black Corner Region could detect it at all.

No, the only one who might make a discovery is that old man who is currently in Canaan Academy.

Of course, Lin Ran also noticed his presence.

"The intensity of this fighting spirit..."

Lin Ran's soul suddenly contracted, retreating like a receding tide.

Lin Ran had only ever seen this level of fighting spirit intensity in one person: his former grandmaster, Scorpio.

Even the resurrected Yao Chen was slightly inferior.

Without a doubt, if someone can make Yao Chen, who has reached the semi-saint realm, pale in comparison, then this person's combat strength is beyond question!

Dean of the Inner Court of Canaan Academy, a semi-saint, elder of the Thunder Clan, Mang Tianchi!

"Boy, isn't it a bit too audacious of you to so brazenly spy on a powerful figure you can't afford to offend?"

Although they were thousands of miles apart, Mang Tianchi's voice boomed in Lin Ran's ears like thunder.

The next moment, a figure traversed space and broke through the air.

Lin Ran's gaze turned solemn. He was about to speak when, at that very moment, an extremely magnificent aura erupted within the Pill Hall!

Feeling the immense power of this aura, Lin Ran's eyes lit up, and countless experts from the Black Corner Region were dumbfounded. Even Mang Tianchi was filled with disbelief.

"Isn't your treatment of my sect leader a bit like bullying the weak?"

Accompanied by a calm voice, a figure broke through the air and stood in front of Lin Ran with a faint smile, blocking the Mangtian Ruler.

"Half-Saint... I never imagined that you, Venerable Medicine, had already broken through to the peak of the Dou Zun realm and entered the Half-Saint realm!"

Mang Tianchi stared at Yao Chen in disbelief, scrutinizing him from head to toe, his face filled with admiration: "Such abundant vitality! He truly deserves to be called the number one alchemist in the world. Not only has he been reborn, but he has also broken through to the Half-Saint realm. If the people of the Soul Palace knew about this, they would probably be astonished."

"However, I am quite surprised that you have become this kid's subordinate."

"Medicine Dust".

Lin Ran spoke softly, and Yao Chen nodded slightly, a calm smile on his face: "Sect Master."

"I am a servant of the ruler, and I must serve him faithfully. The sect leader has shown me great kindness, so what's wrong with me joining his ranks?" Yao Chen said calmly. "But you, who have been traveling the continent for years, why are you thinking of returning to Canaan Academy today?"

"Are you bored?"

Mang Tianchi shrugged, and the two of them acted like old acquaintances, which surprised Lin Ran quite a bit.

Before he could say anything, an irresistible force suddenly erupted from between Lin Ran's brows.

"Wait, holy crap!"

Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, and the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared before the eyes of the two half-saint powerhouses.

Yao Chen and Mang Tianchi exchanged bewildered glances. Mang Tianchi, his face filled with surprise, lowered his voice and said, "That power just now was...?"

"Ah, that's beyond our reach."

Yao Chen shook his head with a wry smile and sighed softly, "You've come all this way, why don't you come with me and take a look?"

"Alright."

Mang Tianchi nodded, but he kept muttering to himself.

What do you mean by "beyond our reach"? We're already half-saints, what in this world could possibly be beyond our reach?

However, that force just now was truly terrifying.

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, Mang Tianchi actually sensed that the strength of that power was... no less than that of the clan leader!
