Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 229 The Remains of a Battle Saint and the Origin Fruit of the Dragon and Phoenix: A Two-Pronged Approach!

Inside the secret room.

Lin Ran raised his palm, and a dragon and phoenix mark stood quietly in his palm.

He could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in his palm. If he were to absorb this power, with Lin Ran's cultivation level, he could probably directly reach the peak of Dou Zun!

However, the improvement of cultivation level is only secondary; its true value lies in the evolution of bloodline!

The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is a rare treasure that grows with an extremely low probability only after absorbing the bloodlines of the Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix. This fruit can transform the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon or the Heavenly Phoenix clan, allowing one to combine the strengths of both and ultimately possess the true bloodline of a demon beast king!

Although Lin Ran is human, because the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon in his body has been completely integrated into his body, he has become a pure Yang dragon body, and thus also has the potential to absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

I wonder what form he will take after consuming this Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit...

"Draw!"

Lin Ran took a deep breath and suddenly raised his right palm.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying energy suddenly emanated from the palm of his right hand, and the dragon and phoenix imprint appeared. The phantom of an incomparably terrifying ancient dragon and an ancient phoenix suddenly appeared.

Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, and he quickly activated his battle qi to form a protective barrier around himself.

The next moment, the dragon's roar and the phoenix's cry rang out simultaneously, the stirring sounds as loud as bells, even Lin Ran was deeply moved at this moment.

After the dragon's roar and the phoenix's cry, the dragon and phoenix intertwined, transforming into the power of the dragon and phoenix, which suddenly entered Lin Ran's body. Lin Ran took a deep breath and held his breath.

However, he did not immediately begin absorbing the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. Instead, he activated the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame to envelop the power.

After the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame had been burning for several hours, causing its energy to become turbulent, Lin Ran finally opened his belly and began to absorb the power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!

"boom!"

As soon as the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit entered his body, Lin Ran's robes instantly shattered into powder. A terrifying energy wave spread out from his body. If Lin Ran hadn't already set up a battle qi barrier and spatial barrier around him, the countless buildings in the Starfall Pavilion would probably have turned to ashes from this energy burst alone.

Lin Ran still had no time to pay attention to the situation outside. After the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit entered his body, it immediately transformed into streams of violent energy like wild horses, running rampant throughout his body. The destruction was caused by a trace of energy leaking out.

The energy within the blood was far more violent than Lin Ran had anticipated. If an ordinary peak-level five-star Dou Zun were to devour this violent energy, they would likely be burst apart by this power in an instant.

Fortunately, although Lin Ran was only at the peak of the five-star Dou Zun level, his Dou Qi strength and physical strength had long surpassed that level.

The changes within his body caught him slightly off guard, but he quickly regained his composure and began to calmly gather his energy.

But soon, Lin Ran's brows furrowed deeply.

The power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, after merging into his body, did not simply merge with Lin Ran as peacefully as other energies.

On the contrary, after entering Lin Ran's body, this power seemed to go mad, frantically drilling into Lin Ran's flesh and blood.

Lin Ran's eyebrows twitched violently.

This feeling is absolutely unbearable, as if a thousand needles are frantically piercing your flesh.

"roar!!!"

A silent dragon roar erupted from Lin Ran's mouth. Under this power, fine dragon scales actually appeared on Lin Ran's body. Then, a purple-gold light also mysteriously emanated from Lin Ran's body.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the purple-gold light that permeated Lin Ran's body began to crystallize.

A strange crystalline layer, resembling ice crystals, began to appear on Lin Ran's body, tightly enveloping his flesh.

"Even my physical body can't directly absorb the full power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit?"

Lin Ran frowned deeply, but without the slightest hesitation, the dazzling Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame was fully released at this moment, and the terrifying high temperature instantly illuminated the entire space as if it were daytime.

Under the intense heat of the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame, the crystallization on Lin Ran's body finally began to stop.

"We can only refine it slowly. This Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is truly domineering."

Lin Ran took a deep breath. If he didn't have the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame, even if he had the Pure Yang Dragon Body, his fate would inevitably be the same as Zi Yan in the original story, completely crystallized by this power.

Even with the Holy Gold Meteor Heart Flame, he still had to devour this power bit by bit.

"Oh, right!"

As if he had just thought of something, Lin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.

With a wave of his hand, the crystal-clear, jade-like skeleton of the Battle Saint appeared before Lin Ran.

Lin Ran grabbed the three ribs from the skeleton's abdomen that concealed the Great Creation Palm technique, broke them off, and put them into his storage ring. He then placed the skeleton of the Battle Saint in front of him and began to temper it together with the Holy Gold Meteor Heart Flame.

As the Holy Gold Meteor Heart Fire burned, a layer of reddish light appeared on the surface of the white jade-like Dou Sheng skeleton. With the reflection of the firelight, it became as if it were transparent. In the dim light, one could see something like liquid flowing quietly inside the bone arm.

This is precisely the essence of the Dou Sheng's remains, the very core of the Dou Sheng!

Not bad.

At this moment, what Lin Ran needs to do is absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and the Dou Sheng skeleton at the same time!

This audacious brat actually wants to rise to the top in one step!

"bring it on!"

Lin Ran took a deep breath: "I want to see just how high I can improve this time!"

The raging Holy Gold Meteor Heart Flame burned wildly, unleashing its full power, and the surrounding space began to distort violently under the influence of this flame.

Meanwhile, inside the Starfall Pavilion.

For some reason, the people of Starfall Pavilion suddenly felt the temperature around them rising rapidly. It was supposed to be a crisp autumn day, but it was hotter than the sweltering summer.

Yao Chen, who was inspecting the medicinal herbs, sensed the unusual temperature and his expression suddenly changed.

The next moment, his figure appeared outside the secret chamber where Lin Ran was in seclusion.

"What terrifying temperature! It can actually penetrate the dual barriers of battle qi and space set up by the sect leader. Is this the flame that the sect leader controls?"

"But what on earth is the sect leader doing that would cause such a huge commotion..."

Yao Chen frowned, but did not hesitate at all. After confirming that Lin Ran's aura in the secret room had not weakened, but was instead increasing, he immediately activated his battle qi and condensed another layer of barrier on its surface.

This barrier is essential; otherwise, the residual heat of the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame will burn everything to ashes, and the entire Starfall Pavilion will likely be reduced to a sea of ​​fire!

Feeling the temperature gradually drop, Yao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, there will be no problem.

But what exactly is the sect leader doing that would cause such a commotion...?

……

at the same time.

Beast Realm, Nine Nether Abyss.

The Nether Serpent's Earth Vein.

As the core area of ​​the Nine Netherworld Python clan, the demonic beasts in the Netherworld Serpent Vein are almost all Nine Netherworld Pythons.

Meanwhile, in a magnificent palace within the Nether Serpent Vein, the atmosphere was extremely lively. Many leaders of serpent tribes had gathered there, their laughter echoing throughout the hall.

On the throne in the main hall sat a man dressed in black. The man was quite handsome, but there was an undisguised coldness between his brows. His eyes flashed with a sharp light when they were slightly open and closed, like a venomous snake that could kill in an instant, making people's hearts go cold.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the jade bottle in his palm.

The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, he poured the contents of the jade bottle into his mouth in one gulp.

"Um?!"

A warm sensation came from his throat, and the black-clad man's snake-like eyes suddenly contracted. Immediately afterward, an extremely intense look of pain appeared on his face.

"Chieftain!"

"Chief Xiaotian!"

Upon seeing the man in black display such pain, the leaders of the snake-people tribe present all changed their expressions drastically, looking at the man in black with worry on their faces.

"Damn it, it must be that jade bottle; it's highly poisonous!"

"Minghui, what are your intentions? How dare you bring such a deadly poison to harm the clan leader!"

"Damn bastards, Nether Serpent Guards, capture these heartless scum!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing the old man's angry shout, numerous unified shouts suddenly resounded throughout the land. Immediately afterward, the sound of wind breaking abruptly rang out, and figures clad in snake-shaped armor darted out, appearing in the main hall in the last few flashes.

Numerous auras locked onto the several Netherworld Pythons inside the hall.

If Lin Ran were here, he would definitely discover that those Netherworld Pythons were the same ones he had traded with in the ancient ruins.

"No, Elder, we would never dare to poison the clan leader! This item was given to us by Lin Ran!"

"Yes, Elder, we are innocent!"

"Injustice? Isn't the clan leader's current agony caused by the deadly poison in your possession?!" The elder in gray robes, positioned to Yao Xiaotian's left, said grimly, then with a flick of his sleeve, he commanded coldly, "Take them all down!"

"Wait!"

A chilling voice came from Yao Xiaotian's mouth. This patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python clan was clearly enduring extremely intense pain, yet he still stopped the Grand Elder's order.

The next second, he continued to endure the extreme pain, unable to utter a single word.

This situation surprised everyone present. However, the Nether Serpent Guard, who was originally about to make a move, did not continue to attack. All eyes were on Yao Xiaotian.

The intense pain caused Yao Xiaotian to roll on the ground, completely lacking the demeanor expected of a clan leader. He couldn't even control his own battle qi, and the terrifying power of a two-star Dou Sheng continued to surge, causing the faces of the many tribal leaders present to turn deathly pale.

"ah!!"

With a mournful hiss, a gray-black light suddenly burst forth from Yao Xiaotian's body, and then a huge Netherworld Python appeared in the hall.

That was Yao Xiaotian's true form!

Everyone looked extremely worried, but then their pupils suddenly contracted, as if they had seen something unbelievable, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

At that moment, a strange phantom appeared on the body of the Nine Netherworld Python, which was writhing in agony.

The phantom looked extremely blurry. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to resemble a coiled giant python, but this python appeared to have nine heads. Even with just a fleeting glimpse, one could sense an endless ferocious aura emanating from those nine heads.

"This, this is!"

Upon seeing the phantom of the nine-headed giant python, everyone present could no longer remain calm. Even the gray-robed elder's breathing became extremely rapid, his eyes fixed on Yao Xiaotian.

"There's no mistake, this is the aura of our ancestors!"

"The ancient celestial serpent, the power of our ancestors has reappeared in the clan leader! The power of our ancestors has reappeared in the clan leader!"

"Very good!"

The crowd erupted in revelry. Even though the phantom of the ancient celestial serpent only appeared on Yao Xiaotian's body for a brief moment, they all witnessed it with their own eyes.

About half an hour later, Yao Xiaotian recovered from the intense pain and opened his eyes in a daze.

They happened to see the cheering serpents and the words they were saying.

"Ancient... Celestial Serpent?"

"Clan leader, the ancestor has appeared! The ancestor has appeared!" The First Elder looked at Yao Xiaotian with immense excitement: "Clan leader, you actually activated the bloodline power of the ancestor just now! The Ancient Heavenly Serpent! That's the Ancient Heavenly Serpent!"

"Chieftain, how are you feeling right now? Is there anything different?"

As they spoke, the Grand Elder and everyone present looked at Yao Xiaotian with hopeful expressions.

Yao Xiaotian was a little confused, but that didn't stop him from figuring out the current situation.

He remembered that after he swallowed the contents of the jade bottle, he felt as if his entire body was being torn apart. Only after he recovered did he hear his clansmen talking about some ancient celestial serpent...

Could it be that I really did awaken the power of my ancestors' bloodline before?!

"etc……"

Seemingly having discovered something, Yao Xiaotianxia subconsciously clenched his fist and threw a punch, accompanied by faint wind and thunder, with spatial power permeating the air.

"This power...it truly is the power of our ancestors!"

"Ghost Ashes!"

Yao Xiaotian abruptly turned his head, looking intently at Ming Hui kneeling on the ground: "You said earlier, who was the person who gave you that jade bottle?"

"It's Lin Ran, a human who has recently gained fame in Zhongzhou."

The Netherworld Serpent named Minghui whispered, "He has a grudge against the Soul Palace. In order to deal with the Soul Palace in the ruins, he took the initiative to befriend us. He also said that we can go to the Starfall Pavilion to find him at any time."

"At that time, he even took out the skeleton of an ancient celestial phoenix and gave it to the Celestial Phoenixes..."

"What?!"

These words left everyone present speechless with astonishment.

The remains of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix were directly given to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix?

"Such a powerful foundation is truly terrifying. But is the purpose of doing this to actively curry favor with us magical beasts...?"

Yao Xiaotian narrowed his eyes: "Regardless of his purpose, since he was able to awaken the dormant bloodline power within us, then he is a friend of our Nine Netherworld Python clan!"

"Let's go, set off immediately for Starfall Pavilion!"

"Yes, Chieftain!"
