Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 215 The Terror of the Ancient Void Dragon

The bone blade, powerful enough to slay souls and steal spirits, was now tightly gripped by a giant dragon-like arm. With the force of the dragon claw, the bone blade immediately emitted a crisp cracking sound.

The next moment, the bone knife was crushed into bone fragments by the dragon claw with a bang!

"Who goes there?!"

This sudden change greatly alarmed the Great Celestial Venerable, and even those engaged in fierce battles in the distance, such as Bone Nether and Scorpion, were forced to turn their attention away, their eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Yao Chen and the three giants of the Pill Tower were all beaming with joy.

When the Great Celestial Venerable made his move, they were plunged into despair.

After all, this is a Dou Sheng powerhouse, a true Dou Sheng, not some half-saint or anything like that, and a two-star Dou Sheng at that!

Even with just Gu You and Tian Xiezi, they needed Lin Ran's help to defeat them, not to mention that the Soul Palace now has a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

At that very moment, Lin Ran's backup plan arrived, and the strength of this backup plan was no weaker than that of the Great Celestial Venerable!

"Friend, are you sure you want to be an enemy of my Soul Palace?!"

The Great Celestial Venerable stared at the bone knife that had been crushed into bone fragments, his face extremely gloomy, and his icy voice echoed in the sky.

"Soul Palace?"

The indifferent voice carried an undisguised contempt. The enormous dragon claw slowly retracted, and an aged figure emerged from the spatial rift. The surging aura was terrifying, and even the surrounding space showed slight distortion.

Sensing this aura, the expressions of everyone present changed again.

Everyone present was one of the strongest individuals on this continent, and they naturally knew what this aura meant.

That suffocating, terrifying aura, seemingly dominating the world and possessing absolute power, not only represented the terrifying strength of the newcomer at the mid-stage of a two-star Dou Sheng, but also indicated that he was a…

"Ancient Void Dragon?!"

The Great Celestial Venerable let out an incredulous growl: "You dare to oppose my Soul Palace?"

The old man was expressionless, appearing quite disdainful.

When the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void was at its peak, it was not afraid of even the Soul Clan, let alone a subordinate force of the Soul Clan, the Soul Palace.

The withered hand stretched out again, instantly transforming into a giant dragon claw, which slammed down fiercely towards the Great Celestial Venerable.

"You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

The Great Celestial Venerable's eyes blazed with fire, and his palms clenched in a fist. The bone knife that had turned into countless fragments of bone in mid-air actually reformed.

With the Bone Emperor Blade in hand once more, the blade trembled, and a strange blade cry suddenly rang out. Countless blade shadows flashed out, instantly enveloping the space around the attacking dragon claw, and the sharp blade light completely covered the dragon claw.

"Dragon Scale Armor!"

A detached voice came from Qingmu's mouth, and a purple light appeared on the dragon scales on the dragon claw. The next moment, countless sharp sword shadows poured down on the dragon claw like a rainstorm, instantly bursting into sparks. Each collision between the sword shadows and the dragon scales on the dragon claw would cause the surrounding space to explode and open a dark crack.

Faced with the defense of the dragon scale armor, the Great Celestial Venerable's eyes turned cold. The huge bone blade flew out and hovered in front of him. With a movement, he stood directly on the bone blade. Then, waves rippled on the bone blade, and the Great Celestial Venerable's body slowly merged into the bone blade.

The next moment, the attack frequency of the Bone Emperor Blade surged wildly once again!

The sheer speed of the attack caused a look of seriousness to cross Aoki's eyes.

With just this skill of man and sword as one, this Great Celestial Venerable is enough to fight against a powerhouse with strength reaching the late stage of a two-star Dou Sheng. He is indeed somewhat qualified to be his opponent.

"clang!"

The Bone Emperor Blade continued to fall, sparks flying everywhere. Although all of them were blocked by the dragon scales, a few broken scales still managed to shoot out.

Clearly, even the Dragon Scale Armor's defense could not withstand such a fierce attack from a two-star Dou Sheng for an extended period of time.

However, before the Great Celestial Venerable could break through the dragon scales on the dragon's claws, Gu You let out a painful howl.

The Great Celestial Venerable frowned and looked over, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

It turned out that while he was being held back by Qingmu, Lin Ran had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, directly hitting Gu You's vital point.

Even the half-saint Gu You was on the verge of death under the Great Sun Annihilation Palm.

"Go to hell!"

Lin Ran sneered and instantly appeared in front of Gu You. His hands were now covered in a black and red light.

Wherever his hand passed, Gu You's skin instantly cracked open, and even his soul suffered enormous damage.

Within a few breaths, Gu You's life force was completely extinguished.

"This is... the Joyful Zen Asura Hand?!"

Seeing this, Scorpion, who was fighting Yao Chen, looked even more disgusted.

"When you fight me, you won't have a chance to be distracted."

Yao Chen's indifferent voice rang out, and along with it came a giant, scorching hand of flame. Tianxiezi gritted his teeth and channeled his fighting spirit to resist the giant hand of flame.

But the next moment, an even hotter aura of fire surged from behind.

"Master, I must repay you properly for what you did to me two years ago!"

"boom!!"

The brilliant fiery palm, formed from the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame, moved with lightning speed, grabbing at the Scorpion.

Scorpion gritted his teeth, wanting to retaliate, but Yao Chen held him back tightly. By the time he freed his hand, the Holy Flame had already landed on him. The fighting spirit emanating from his body was instantly shattered, and the scorching and powerful wind poured into Scorpion's body.

"Pfft!"

Faced with such an extremely fierce and scorching attack of flames, the Scorpion's battle aura barrier, which it had no time to defend against, was directly torn apart by the scorching power.

Meanwhile, strange, invisible flames, like venomous snakes, burrowed into the scorpion's body, causing its expression to freeze.

In that instant, Yao Chen appeared behind Scorpion and struck him on the back with a palm. A mouthful of bright red blood spurted from Scorpion's mouth, and his body was thrown backward, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

However, their offensive was not over yet.

As Yao Chen blasted the Scorpion into the ground, a sense of annihilation once again arose throughout the world, and the Great Sun Annihilation Palm was already fully prepared in Lin Ran's palm.

The enormous consumption of battle qi caused Lin Ran's face to turn pale, but the power of the Great Sun Annihilation Palm in Lin Ran's hand became even more terrifying!

"Master, please allow your disciple to give you a proper send-off!"

Following the trajectory of the scorpion flying backward, Lin Ran forcefully pushed the palm print in his hand forward.

"Boom! Crack!!"

Wherever the palm print passed, the space collapsed. Scorpion, who had just recovered from the combined attack of Yao Chen and Lin Ran, was covered in blood and his aura was weak. Just as he looked up, he saw the Great Sun Annihilation Palm falling down.

The next moment, he was completely engulfed by the Great Sun Annihilation Palm, and terrifying energy erupted. In the distance, one could faintly hear the extremely shrill screams of the Scorpion.

As the energy dissipated, a huge palm print was deeply imprinted on the Burial Corpse Mountain Range. The Scorpion within it was now completely silent, with only a broken body remaining, floating quietly in mid-air.

This is the terrifying physical body of a semi-saint level being. Even after suffering such terrifying attacks one after another, its physical body was not completely damaged.

However, at this moment, this physical body could only benefit Lin Ran.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Ran directly took the Scorpion's body into his possession. A body at the half-saint level, if refined into a Corpse Soul Puppet, would be enough to make him invincible not only in the Northwest Continent, but also in the Central Continent.

In addition to the corpse of Gu You, the two half-saint level puppets, and Yao Chen.

By this calculation, Lin Ran now has a full three half-saint level warriors under his command!

"boom!!!"

A terrifying surge of energy emanated from mid-air, and Lin Ran and Yao Chen simultaneously turned their gazes toward the surging energy in the sky.

Without a doubt, the battles there are the most important; only battles at the Dou Sheng level can truly determine the course of this war.

The battle in the sky looked extremely bizarre; it wasn't two people, but rather a sword and a dragon.

The Great Celestial Venerable has now completely merged with the Bone Emperor Blade, becoming one with the blade. Elder Qingmu has also summoned his true form, a hundred-foot-long ancient dragon lying across the sky, its dragon might shaking the heavens!

"This won't do. The two are almost evenly matched. Although the Ancient Void Dragon has the advantage of physical strength, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace has the advantage of terrain. It's impossible for him to be defeated in a short time."

After observing for a moment, Yao Chen's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "If this goes on for too long, and it attracts other Soul Palace experts, things will probably get really bad."

The three giants of the Danta Tower all nodded in deep agreement.

The Soul Palace has many powerful figures. Although the Great Celestial Venerable is strong, he is not among the strongest. Above him are the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Soul Palace, not to mention the terrifying beings of the Soul Clan.

If we really attract those guys, something bad might happen.

"Does this mean we have to use Gu Lie's jade slip? No, that would be too wasteful."

Lin Ran frowned as he watched the battle unfold, then his eyes suddenly lit up!

"I have a plan to kill this man, but I need your help!"

Lin Ran said in a deep voice, "The reason why this Great Celestial Venerable was able to fight Elder Qingmu so fiercely is mainly due to the Bone Emperor Blade in his hand and his soul power. His soul strength is at the Heavenly Realm, but the soul strength of the four of us is also at the Heavenly Realm."

"If the four of us join forces to launch a mental attack, even if we cannot defeat him due to the difference in cultivation level, we will definitely create an opportunity for Elder Qingmu."

Upon hearing this, the three giants of the Pill Tower and Yao Chen all brightened up and nodded in unison.

"However, ordinary soul impacts may not be able to maximize soul power. Sect Master, your sonic combat technique was quite effective just now, so let's use that move," Yao Chen said. "We will amplify your soul power with it."

"good!"

The massive Void Ancient Dragon swung its claws, colliding repeatedly with the Bone Emperor Blade. Its attack and defense were both extremely terrifying. However, the Bone Emperor Blade was too fast, and with the help of soul power, even the Void Ancient Dragon, who was proficient in spatial power, was unable to deal with the Great Celestial Venerable for a time.

The two sides remained deadlocked, but the deaths of Gu You and Tian Xiezi clearly made the Great Celestial Venerable somewhat anxious.

"Old man, your tortoise shell is really hard! Could it be that the ancient Void Dragon, the overlord of magical beasts, became so powerful precisely because of this tortoise shell?!"

Above the heavens, the Great Celestial Venerable roared in fury, the Bone Emperor Blade gleaming with a sharp, cold light, as if it were about to slice the entire world apart.

Faced with this attack, Aoki suddenly clenched his dragon claws and threw a punch. Purple-gold light emanated from his fist, and the space around the Great Celestial Venerable was directly locked!

"Tai Xu Fist!"

"Man and Blade Fusion! Bone Emperor Splits the Heavens!"

The dragon claw and the bone blade clashed fiercely once again, and the sweeping energy fluctuations instantly shattered countless mountain peaks. But at that moment, Lin Ran's figure suddenly appeared at the center of the battle.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

When the Great Celestial Venerable saw Lin Ran appear, he was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and manipulated the bone knife to change his target.

But the next moment, Lin Ran suddenly opened his mouth, and the soul power between his eyebrows suddenly burst out of his body, transforming into a huge phantom that enveloped his body.

Four enormous soul auras also emerged from behind, surging towards Lin Ran in a mighty torrent.

The five soul powers overlapped and merged at this moment. Lin Ran felt his head suddenly go blank, and his soul realm seemed to have been enhanced by an extremely terrifying degree. It was as if the whole world had changed.

"This feeling is..."

Without time to think, Lin Ran lightly bit the tip of her tongue, forcing herself to calm her mind. At the same time, she activated her fighting skills, and the fighting spirit and soul power in her body surged out wildly as if they were free.

"Joyful Zen Sound Waves!"

An invisible sound wave spread out, carrying a terrifying soul impact, which swept out like a storm, completely enveloping the enormous Bone Emperor Blade.

"clang!"

The powerful soul impact was also detected by the Great Celestial Venerable. In fact, at the very moment he noticed it, before he could defend himself, the soul impact had already reached the blade.

The enormous Bone Emperor Blade flew backward at that moment, and as it flew out, an old figure was also thrown out of the blade in a sorry state, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Great Celestial Venerable was actually blasted out of the Bone Emperor Blade by Lin Ran's soul attack. Even the soul light in his eyes dimmed considerably, and his aura plummeted.

"Dragon's Breath!"

Seeing the Great Celestial Venerable being forcibly forced to unleash the Bone Emperor Blade, Aoki, who was in the distance, naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass.

It immediately opened its ferocious maw, and a massive beam of light, hundreds of feet long, shot out with a deafening roar. The beam contained extremely terrifying destructive power, instantly enveloping the entire Great Celestial Venerable.

That Great Celestial Venerable, who was at the early stage of the second-star Dou Sheng realm, was reduced to dust and vanished in the blink of an eye amidst the dragon's breath!

The entire space suddenly fell silent. The three giants of the Pill Tower and Yao Chen stared in astonishment at the terrifying dragon's breath, while Lin Ran's gaze seemed somewhat empty, even a little unfocused.

It wasn't until Aoki's enormous dragon body returned to human form and stepped in front of him that he realized what had happened...
