Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 226 The Remains of a Battle Saint! Are you here to deliver a gift?!

Lin Ran naturally knew that the Soul Hall group had come for the remains of the Dou Sheng, because in the original story, the Old Ghost Zhaixing and others had also come for the remains of the Dou Sheng.

I never expected that these three Venerable Ones would be like this too.

It seems there is indeed something within these Dou Sheng's remains that is attracting these people from the Soul Palace.

"The remnants of a Battle Saint's soul? Or this physical body?"

Lin Ran guessed in his heart, while the three Venerables had already stepped into the area of ​​the stone seat, about ten feet away, their eyes burning as they stared at the skeleton sitting cross-legged.

"Wait, what is this...?"

Lin Ran's eyes narrowed suddenly. His soul power could clearly sense that, along with the deaths of the powerful beings in the surrounding world, the flesh and blood power within their corpses was drawn by an inexplicable force and then, through a special formation on the ground, was completely integrated into the remains of the Dou Sheng.

The more people die, the stronger the life force emanating from the remains of the Battle Saint becomes!

"The means of bringing the dead back to life, huh?"

This kind of tactic is not uncommon in the Dou Qi Continent; Lin Ran himself has encountered it many times.

For example, Yun Potian, whom we encountered at the summit of Yunlan, also had the idea of ​​resurrection, but it was thwarted by Lin Ran. Clearly, the Dou Sheng skeleton in front of us also had the same idea.

However, it would be quite difficult for a Dou Sheng-level being to be resurrected.

Stop fighting for the duel skill, come over here.

Lin Ran murmured to himself, his gaze suddenly falling on Feng Qing'er, who was flying in the sky, vying for treasures with the clan's experts, and transmitted his voice to her.

Feng Qing'er, who was fluttering in mid-air, was stunned for a moment. Then, under the astonished gazes of her fellow clansmen, she flew towards Lin Ran without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, an old man in black robes beside him frowned slightly but did not say anything. On the contrary, the white-haired youth was a little anxious.

"Elder Huangxuan, this..."

"I can't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation."

The indifferent voice came from Huang Xuan, which left the white-haired youth somewhat dumbfounded.

No, Elder, we are Heavenly Phoenix Demons! The most taboo thing for us is the outflow of our bloodline! How could you say such a thing?!

The white-haired man gritted his teeth in resentment, but when he thought of Lin Ran's terrifying strength, he could only turn his head and continue chasing after the secret treasure flying in mid-air.

"metropolitan……"

Feng Qing'er quickly arrived in front of Lin Ran, calling out softly, her expression slightly shy, but more so filled with longing and love.

From the moment she saw Lin Ran in the ruins, she couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms.

However, with her clansmen always by her side, coupled with the meaning in Lin Ran's eyes, she had to suppress her emotions.

Lin Ran's call finally made her release her emotions, and she couldn't wait to come to Lin Ran's side.

"Stay here quietly and be good to me for now."

Lin Ran ruffled Feng Qing'er's hair and said with a smile, "After this is all over, I'll give you something good."

"Whoa whoa!"

Feng Qing'er nodded obediently without asking any further questions. Her well-behaved and adorable appearance left countless people in the hall speechless.

Is this still Feng Qing'er from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?!

"So these are the remains of a Dou Sheng powerhouse?"

The Three Venerables stared intently at the skeleton sitting cross-legged.

The Dou Sheng rank is an irresistible temptation even for them. Dou Zun might be considered one of the top experts on this continent, but they are still far from the true peak.

The leap from Dou Zun to Dou Sheng is almost a qualitative change, and the gap between the two is so large that almost nothing can bridge it.

The Three Venerables stared fervently at the jade-white skeleton, couldn't help but lick their lips, and took two more steps forward, their large hands reaching out to grab the skeleton.

"laugh!"

Just as the Three Venerables' palms were about to touch the skeletons, the space there suddenly rippled slightly, then transformed into countless extremely sharp spatial spikes, piercing the Three Venerables' palms fiercely.

The slight pain in his palm startled the Three Venerables, who hurriedly withdrew his hand and discovered that a lot of blood had flowed from his palm, with a few drops gently dripping onto the cross-legged skeleton.

Gazing at the blood that had fallen upon the jade-white skeleton, an extremely uneasy feeling quietly welled up from the heart of the Three Venerables.

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

Several powerful members of the Soul Palace who had gathered around were also taken aback when they saw the Three Heavenly Venerable suddenly freeze, and asked in confusion.

The Three Venerables seemed oblivious to their cries, their gaze fixed on the blood dripping onto the skeleton. As the blood slid along, it seeped in silently, like water encountering cotton.

Looking down, one could see that countless drops of blood had gathered on the ground and merged into the remains of the Battle Saint.

Upon seeing this, the Three Venerables' pupils suddenly contracted.

He suddenly felt that within the skeleton in front of him, which had been dead for countless years, a glimmer of life was emerging again!

"Oh no, retreat quickly!"

As expected of a powerful eighth-level Dou Zun, the Three Heavenly Venerables' reaction speed is beyond doubt.

The instant it sensed that life force, a rapid roar came from its mouth, and at the same time, it stomped its foot on the ground, and its body shot backward like lightning.

But the moment he left, Lin Ran, who was far away, suddenly raised his hand and slapped it in the direction he was in, and a dazzling palm print suddenly erupted!

"Lin Ran, you're asking for it!"

The Three Venerables were furious and raised their palms to meet the attack.

But this very act of meeting him slowed him down a beat.

Similarly, the other Soul Hall experts were also somewhat stunned and had no time to react.

The jade-white skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone seat trembled slightly, and then, two faint blood-red hues flickered and appeared in the empty skull.

"what!"

As the crimson light appeared, the skeleton of the Battle Saint slowly raised its head, and a deafening roar, like thunderclaps, suddenly burst forth from its mouth!

The terrifying roar instantly materialized into sound waves, sweeping outwards like a storm from the stone seat.

"Bang!"

The first to be affected by the sonic storm were naturally the few Soul Hall experts who reacted slowly. The sonic waves caught up with them in an instant, and then, their bodies exploded like sandbags hit by cannonballs, turning into blood mist that spread out.

"snort!"

Restricted by Lin Ran, the three Heavenly Venerables were unable to break free from the sonic combat technique.

However, since he was a peak eighth-level Dou Zun, he didn't explode into a blood mist like the other unlucky guys. But the sound wave still caused his blood and qi to churn, and a low groan came from his throat, indicating that he had also suffered some injury.

Even a powerful being like the Three Venerables couldn't withstand the sonic roar of this Dou Sheng skeleton.

Therefore, for most people inside the hall, this sound wave was undoubtedly the Grim Reaper's scythe of death!

Many powerful figures in the hall were completely oblivious to the unusual appearance of the Dou Sheng's remains. Their minds were so focused on seizing the treasures that when the sound waves spread out, almost everyone was within the attack range.

The sonic attack spread like lightning, and the numerous figures in mid-air suddenly froze. Then, with a bang, they exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and in an instant, the entire hall was filled with a thick cloud of blood mist.

The sudden bloody scene jolted everyone back from the allure of the Heavenly Rank Battle Technique. Horror quickly spread across their faces, and their battle qi surged forth without reservation. Many figures fled from the center of the hall in a disheveled state, like stray dogs.

The sound waves spread, causing a chilling massacre before finally dissipating amidst the grim expressions on everyone's faces. Gazing at the blood mist slowly drifting down from mid-air, a deep sense of dread and coldness rose in everyone's hearts. At least a hundred people had died from these sound waves, including several Dou Zun experts!

"Even a Dou Zun level expert can be instantly killed by sonic waves?"

Those who had escaped death all swallowed hard at this moment, even the powerful old man in black robes from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was covered in cold sweat.

"Three Heavenly Venerables, what have you done?!"

Having recovered from this turn of events, Tang Zhen and the others turned their furious gazes sharply to the Three Venerables who had also escaped, and roared angrily.

Hearing Tang Zhen's angry shout, everyone's shocked and furious gazes turned to the Three Venerables. They could all see clearly that this matter was caused by the people of the Soul Palace.

Being glared at by so many powerful figures, even the Three Venerables' lips twitched.

He never expected things to turn out this way. The skeleton, which had clearly lost all its functions, suddenly unleashed such terrifying power.

However, he was one of the three Venerables of the Soul Palace. With his cultivation and status, how could he be questioned like this?

"Why should I report my actions to a bunch of trash like you!"

The Three Venerables spoke in a cold voice, and everyone was filled with anger, about to shout angrily.

But the next moment, a chilling and terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the center of the hall.

The thick blood mist rippled slowly under everyone's gaze. Then, a skeleton, its entire body stained crimson with blood mist, stepped out of the mist and appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Trespassers shall die!"

The crimson skull stopped a hundred meters in front of the group, slowly raised its head, and a blood-red light flashed in its empty eyes. An ancient and hoarse, indifferent voice softly echoed in the hall.

The hoarse and ancient voice slowly faded away, and the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly again. Their gazes shifted from the Three Venerables to the blood-red skull.

The slender skeleton stood in the hall. Its originally jade-white body had turned scarlet after absorbing a lot of blood mist, giving it an extremely strong sense of bloodshed. Two faint red lights flickered in the skeleton's eye sockets.

"This overwhelming force... no, we have to retreat!"

Upon seeing such terrifying remains of a Battle Saint, everyone present felt the urge to retreat.

Although these treasures are very valuable, you need to be alive to use them!

Many people rushed out of the main hall immediately, and soon only a few figures remained inside.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

Nine Netherworld Python.

Soul Palace.

and also……

Lin Ran!

No one made a move. Seeing this, Lin Ran smiled faintly and suddenly spoke loudly.

"Qing'er, what do you think of this Dou Sheng's remains?"

"Huh?" Feng Qing'er was a little confused, not knowing what Lin Ran meant, but she still said softly, "The remains of a Dou Sheng powerhouse are naturally terrifying."

"Indeed, the remains of a Dou Sheng expert are indeed powerful, but compared to these broken remains, I have something better for you."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present frowned, wondering what Lin Ran was up to.

If you want to give a gift, do it privately. Why are you acting all high and mighty here?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Ran ruffled Feng Qing'er's hair, then with a wave of his hand, he took out the enormous skeleton of the ancient phoenix.

In an instant, the vast hall was filled with a special aura.

All the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and Nine Netherworld Pythons present changed their expressions drastically at this moment, and the black-robed elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan named Huang Xuan even let out a cry of surprise.

"This...this is the aura of our ancestors?!"

"this!"

"Ancient Celestial Phoenix?! How is this possible?!"

The ancient celestial phoenix's skeleton exuded a terrifying aura, shocking everyone present. The members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan even showed an extremely fanatical and crazed expression on their faces!

"Sect Master, this, this!"

Feng Qing'er was also incredibly excited, her pretty face flushed red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't worry, this is a gift for you."

Lin Ran smiled and said, "Take it."

"metropolitan!"

Feng Qing'er's excitement and joy were beyond words; she even nestled into Lin Ran's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

Huang Xuan and the others couldn't stop smiling when they heard Lin Ran's words, and they praised Lin Ran repeatedly.

"Brother Lin Ran is truly generous! From now on, you will be the best friend of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"

"No, no."

"You're too kind."

"What on earth are you doing? With a formidable enemy at hand, instead of facing this terrifying remains of a Battle Saint, you're sending him gifts?!"

The Three Venerables were practically laughing in anger, pointing at the Dou Sheng skeleton that was constantly absorbing blood energy and whose aura was becoming increasingly terrifying: "If we can't deal with him today, not only will the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix skeleton not be able to leave, but everyone here will be unable to escape!"

"The Three Venerables are right, but since you were the one who awakened this skeleton, please make the first move."

Lin Ran spoke calmly.

Then, his gaze fell upon the group of Nine Netherworld Pythons who had remained silent, and he said, "My friends from the Nine Netherworld Pythons, I've heard that you're having some trouble with your bloodlines. I have a little solution..."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Nine Netherworld Python were greatly shocked.

"Is what you say true?!"
