Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 214 The Great Celestial Venerable!

The power of the Great Sun Annihilation Palm is beyond doubt.

As a fusion of Lin Ran's Great Sun Holy Yang Palm and the ancient clan's Heaven-rank combat skill Great Annihilation Technique, this move's power has already reached the level of the mid-Heaven-rank.

Combined with Lin Ran's full power at this moment, the mere aura of annihilation emanating from that palm print was enough to make the Earth Scorpion's hands and feet turn ice cold.

"Houstu Zhong!"

Fortunately, the Earth Scorpion had not lost his mind. Although the Great Sun Annihilation Palm was close at hand, he still wanted to resist. He quickly changed his hand seals and his fighting spirit surged out of his body. Then, a giant bell that looked like a real bell appeared and his figure was hiding inside it.

But the moment the giant bell materialized, Lin Ran's terrifying palm print had already arrived!

"Buzz!! Boom!!!"

The entire world trembled in an instant due to the burst of this energy. Within a thousand feet, all the mountains were blasted into dust with a loud bang.

A thick sandstorm blanketed the sky, and the surrounding mountains vanished almost instantly. Within a thousand feet, everything was empty; not even a single, slightly larger rock remained!

In an instant, the Burial Corpse Mountain Range was actually blasted into a huge basin by Lin Ran's palm strike!

"call……"

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pill from his storage ring, and put it in his mouth.

He hadn't held back at all with that palm strike, releasing most of his fighting spirit in one go, pushing the power of the Great Sun Annihilation Palm to its limit. Even he felt a slight emptiness afterward.

But soon, the characteristics of the Pure Yang Body were activated, continuously replenishing Lin Ran's battle qi.

Feeling the condition inside his body, Lin Ran's gaze also turned to the place where the scorpion had been.

Now, the place is completely empty, without a trace of human presence. Along with the disappearance of the figure, there is also the aura of the earth scorpion. It seems that he has vanished completely from this world, leaving not even a trace behind.

One palm!

That would completely shatter this peak eighth-level Dou Zun!

This is the power level of Lin Ran at this moment when he goes all out!

It should be noted that Lin Ran is only at the peak of the five-star Dou Zun at this moment. If Lin Ran's strength could reach the peak of Dou Zun, and he were to unleash this palm strike, even a half-saint might not be able to withstand it.

The terrifying commotion that Lin Ran caused was naturally noticed by the two groups fighting in the distance.

The terrifying destructive power generated by the Great Sun Annihilation Palm made even them, as half-saints, tremble.

"What?!"

Scorpion was also stunned by this turn of events. Looking down at the nearly thousand-foot-tall Pengdi, he couldn't help but shudder and stared in terror at Lin Ran in the distant sky.

Such destructive power is something even he might not be able to achieve at this moment.

The boy he once regarded as a blood slave has actually grown to this extent?!

"Something's off with this kid."

After widening the distance between himself and the three giants of the Pill Tower, Gu You glanced at Lin Ran in the distance with a solemn expression: "The power of that attack just now has probably reached the level of the middle stage of the Heaven Rank, and I sensed a familiar aura in it."

"Wait, where's the second one?!"

Scorpion's lips twitched, then he suddenly came to his senses and quickly scanned his surroundings, only to be shocked to find that he couldn't even sense the Earth Scorpion's aura.

"That attack probably left no trace of him..."

A look of horror flashed in Gu You's eyes. The Earth Scorpion was a peak Eighth Rank Dou Zun; even he couldn't kill it completely in one strike, leaving no trace of its body. Yet that kid...

Lin Ran's Great Sun Annihilation Palm not only shocked Scorpion and Bone Nether, but also the three giants of the Pill Tower and Yao Chen.

"A fighting skill comparable to a mid-level Heaven Rank, is this the sect master's strength?"

"No wonder he was able to recruit Yao Chen; this kid really has some talent..."

"Let's retreat for now!"

At this moment, a deep sense of dread finally welled up in Scorpio's heart, and he looked at Lin Ran in the distance with extreme fear.

Although they are two half-saints, Yao Chen is also a half-saint, so they will inevitably need one of them to contend with him.

Even the three giants of the Pill Tower, all at the peak of the Dou Zun level, could hold off one of them. If Lin Ran were to unleash another Dou Technique of the same level as before while they were still locked in this stalemate, their lives would likely be in danger.

At that moment, Scorpio also lost the will to continue fighting. With a low shout, he turned around and prepared to retreat.

However, Gu You stopped Tian Xiezi abruptly and said in a deep voice, "That kid may have some problems, but don't forget where you are."

"What?"

Scorpio paused, then suddenly realized: "You mean...?"

"Scorpio, are you leaving your last words?"

Just as the two were talking, an old, cold laugh suddenly fell from the sky. Then, a fiery hand, almost tangible, condensed in the sky again and darted through space like lightning, grabbing at the Scorpion.

"Yao Chen, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Seeing Yao Lao attack again, Tian Xiezi shrieked venomously, turned around, and unleashed a powerful burst of battle qi from his palm, which then slammed into the giant fiery palm.

The two opposing energies collided, instantly unleashing an extremely terrifying shockwave.

"Young Lin, we'll hold that old ghost Bone Ghost back, and you can use that opportunity to unleash that fighting technique again."

Seeing Yao Chen and Tian Xiezi clash again, Xuan Kongzi smiled and spoke to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran nodded: "No problem, my battle qi has recovered to about 70-80%."

Upon hearing this, all three were somewhat impressed, but the expression on Bone Nether Saint's face was rather unpleasant.

"A pure yang body, huh..."

The three giants of the Dan Tower acted decisively, while Lin Ran sneered and stood by, ready to strike.

Gu You's face contorted with rage as he once again engaged in fierce combat with the three giants of the Pill Tower. Lin Ran, who had already prepared his attack, seized a fleeting opportunity and unleashed the Great Sun Annihilation Palm upon Gu You.

Gu You tried to dodge, but was firmly restrained by the three giants of the Pill Tower.

As Gu You stared at the hand rapidly enlarging in his pupils, his eyes were filled with ferocity, but there was not much fear in them, which made Lin Ran realize something was wrong.

Seemingly sensing something, Lin Ran's expression suddenly changed.

Just as his palm was about to land on Gu You's body, the space beside him suddenly trembled violently. A withered and aged, black arm, like that of a demon god, shot out from it with lightning speed and grabbed at Lin Ran's throat!

"not good!"

A jet-black arm emerged from the spatial rift. This arm was extremely withered, as if a thin layer of black skin was covering the bones. On that dry skin, one could vaguely see some strange patterns permeated with black energy.

The moment this arm appeared, the light in the area seemed to dim considerably, and an eerie attraction emanated from it, drawing people's souls towards it.

When the pitch-black arm appeared, the pupils of the three giants of the Pill Tower suddenly contracted. Lin Ran, who had been warned, used the power of space to the extreme to forcefully dodge the attack and turned the Great Sun Annihilation Palm towards the pitch-black arm.

"boom!!"

Despite the powerful blow, the dark arm did not collapse immediately, but its owner was clearly quite cautious.

The black lines on his skin writhed rapidly, then shot out like a venomous snake awakening, colliding with the palm print of the Great Sun Annihilation Palm. In the fierce clash, the two vanished silently.

"The Great Annihilation Technique of the Ancient Clan?"

An aged, soft groan echoed from the void, from which thick black mist surged forth. Within the mist, a gaunt, skeletal figure, exuding a sinister aura, slowly emerged.

The man was dressed in a black robe, his aged face was extremely withered, his eyes were sunken, and two ghostly flames flickered in his eye sockets, giving him an eerie air.

Upon this person's appearance, the pupils of Yao Chen, Tian Xiezi, and the three giants of the Pill Tower, who were engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air, all contracted, revealing expressions of shock.

"A Battle Saint?!"

"How is this possible? How could there be a Soul Clan Battle Saint here!"

Yao Chen stopped fighting the Scorpion and came to Lin Ran's side, his expression extremely solemn: "Sect Master..."

"Fearless."

Lin Ran spoke calmly, but Gu You let out a sneer upon hearing this.

"Fearless? Kid, your brother is a true Dou Sheng, a two-star Dou Sheng at that. You'd better prepare to pay the price for your recklessness and arrogance!"

Gu You sneered, "You probably don't know, do you? The three Scorpion Demons have already joined my Soul Palace, and this Burial Corpse Mountain Range is where my Soul Palace's Human Palace is stationed. You dare to come here to die, hehehe..."

"Great Celestial Venerable."

Scorpion also came to the Great Celestial Venerable's side and spoke in a low voice.

The Great Celestial Venerable glanced at him indifferently and nodded slightly: "This is your disciple?"

"……Yes."

"He does possess some talent, a Heavenly Realm soul, and a pure Yang body. I want half of your disciple's Origin Power, is that alright?"

According to the original agreement, Lin Ran's soul returned to the Soul Palace, while his physical body's origin belonged to the Three Demon Scorpion Demons.

Now that the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace has opened his hand, he intends to take away half of the Origin Power, which shows his appetite. However, Scorpion has no right to refuse.

Putting aside the terrifying strength of the Great Celestial Venerable, just looking at the current situation, if it weren't for the Great Celestial Venerable's intervention, he might have perished here today, just like the Earth Scorpion!

"Everything is decided by the Great Celestial Venerable!"

Scorpio nodded directly, handing over all decision-making power to the Great Celestial Venerable. Upon hearing this, the Great Celestial Venerable revealed a satisfied expression, and then suddenly formed a hand seal in his sleeve.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the hand seal was completed, the space around Lin Ran rippled, and then many white shadows flashed into his eyes. He saw that the surrounding void space suddenly transformed into countless sharp white bones, which shot towards him with lightning speed.

"Sect Leader, be careful!"

Faced with the lightning-fast attack of the bone spikes, Yao Chen's expression turned anxious, and he stirred his fiery battle qi in his palm, trying to block them.

However, Scorpion sneered and blocked Yao Chen's way.

The three giants of the Dan Tower wanted to make a move, but endless black mist appeared all around them, and dark shackles swirled around them like venomous snakes!

"None of you will escape today!"

Black energy surged forth, and Gu You, like a demon god descending to earth, let out a ferocious laugh. Clanging sounds rang out, and countless black chains, accompanied by shrill screams, swept towards the three giants of the Pill Tower from within the black mist, their momentum terrifying.

With Yao Chen and the three giants of the Pill Tower blocked at the same time, Lin Ran was isolated and helpless, his life hanging by a thread.

As endless bone spikes surged forth, Lin Ran activated the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame to resist, but the space above his head was also rapidly surging at this moment. A huge bone knife, exuding a strange aura, tore through the void and slashed down at Lin Ran.

"Bone Emperor Splits the Heavens!"

"call out!"

As the strange bone knife was swung down, a peculiar wave immediately spread out, rushing towards Lin Ran with lightning speed.

"Soul attack?"

Sensing the strange fluctuations, Lin Ran frowned and urged his soul power to fight against them.

Two celestial realm souls collided violently in mid-air, unleashing an extremely terrifying soul impact before both annihilated and dissipated.

Seeing Lin Ran shatter the soul fluctuation so easily, the Great Celestial Venerable flashed and appeared in the sky below the massive bone blade, which was a hundred feet in size. Black mist surged from his palm, transforming into a giant hand that directly grabbed the hilt of the blade. With a cold shout, the bone blade tore through space and instantly reached the top of Lin Ran's head, carrying an extremely terrifying and sharp fluctuation as it slashed down!

Lin Ran raised the Great Sun Annihilation Palm, which had been gathering power in his palm, to meet the bone knife.

"boom!"

The energy collided, and the Great Celestial Venerable remained completely still, while Lin Ran was sent flying backward, his face deathly pale.

"Is this the fighting power of a Dou Sheng?"

Lin Ran wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out several pills from his storage ring, and put them into his mouth.

With just one strike, his prized physical body was almost destroyed, and most importantly, his soul seemed to have suffered some damage as well.

There's something seriously wrong with the bone knife that guy's holding!

"Boy, you can be proud of yourself for withstanding my attack with the strength of a five-star Dou Zun."

"If you were given a few more years, you would surely grow into one of the top experts on this Dou Qi Continent, but... hehehe..."

The Great Celestial Venerable held his bone blade slightly horizontally, speaking in a sinister tone: "This bone blade of mine was forged from the bones of ten thousand people, containing countless souls sacrificed to it. Anyone whose blade's aura touches their body will suffer the torment of being devoured by ten thousand souls! Today, I will use it to take your life, which is worthy of your talent!"

The Great Celestial Venerable smiled sinisterly, and black energy surged within his body, transforming into countless ferocious-looking souls that screamed shrilly as they continuously charged into the bone blade.

As these numerous souls poured in, a trace of crimson gradually appeared on the stark white surface of the bone knife, resembling dark bloodstains!

next moment.

The Great Celestial Venerable swung his hand suddenly, and the huge blood-red bone knife fell heavily towards Lin Ran's head.

"Damn it... old man, if you don't come soon, you'll never see your king again!"

Lin Ran shouted angrily.

Suddenly, the space behind Lin Ran shattered, and a giant claw covered in purple dragon scales suddenly stretched out from the spatial rift, grabbing the bone knife amidst everyone's astonished gazes!

With a burst of immense force, the bone knife, forged from the bones of ten thousand people, cracked and shattered with a bang!

"What?!"
