Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 235 Attachment

Seeing that Zhu Li had agreed to this, Yao Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If this big shot gets angry, the current Starfall Pavilion won't be able to stop him.

"By the way, Senior Zhuli, the Pill Tower's Pill Gathering is being held these days. I wonder if you would be interested in attending?" Yao Chen asked.

"The Pill Gathering? Forget it, I'm not interested in that kind of event. Since Lin Ran has taken the King out for a trip, I'll head back to Ancient Dragon Island first." Zhu Li declined calmly. The Pill Gathering was indeed a grand event for humans and alchemists, but it didn't mean much to them, the Ancient Dragons of the Void.

Moreover, Ancient Dragon Island is far from peaceful. Those dragon islands have become increasingly restless in recent years, with three dragon kings, each dreaming of becoming the supreme ruler...

He is one of the few high-end combatants on Donglong Island. If he doesn't stay on Donglong Island, the other ancient dragon islands will inevitably take advantage of the situation.

"Alright, then I'll see Lord Zhuli off..."

"Yao Chen, has Sect Leader Lin emerged from seclusion?!"

Before Yao Chen and Zhu Li could leave, a slightly gloomy voice, tinged with urgency, suddenly rang out.

The next moment, the space of the Starfall Pavilion was torn apart, and a demonic man dressed in black suddenly appeared in mid-air, speaking with unparalleled domineering power.

Yao Chen paused slightly, a hint of headache appearing on his face.

He said that Lin Ran was there to trick him, knowing full well that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Nine Netherworld Python would come looking for him, yet he still insisted on going to the Northwest Continent.

What was he supposed to do? Was he supposed to tell them that his sect leader had gone on a trip to the Northwest Continent after leaving seclusion?

If these Dou Sheng powerhouses misunderstand such words as a sign of disrespect, then things could get really messed up!

"The stench of snakes is so strong..."

Zhu Li glanced at Yao Chen's helpless expression, looked up at the sky, and then said in a deep voice, "Yao Xiaotian, why aren't you staying in your Nine Netherworld? What are you doing here at the Starfall Pavilion?!"

"Hmm?! Who dares to address this holy being by his name... the Ancient Dragon of the Void?!"

Yao Xiaotian frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure. But when his gaze fell on Zhu Li, his expression changed instantly. He forced a smile, cupped his hands to Zhu Li, and said, "Senior Zhu Li, what brings you here?"

"Where am I? Do I need to report to you?"

Zhu Li stared indifferently at Yao Xiaotian, the terrifying pressure of the Ancient Void Dragon emanating from his body immediately making Yao Xiaotian feel immense pressure.

In the current World of Warcraft, apart from the Ancient Dragons of the Void, almost all the other monsters have become extremely weak due to the degeneration of their bloodlines. Monsters like the Heavenly Phoenix and the Nine Netherworld Python are no longer what they used to be.

Faced with the oppressive aura of the Ancient Void Dragon, even though Yao Xiaotian was a Dou Sheng powerhouse, he felt immense pressure and dared not meet its gaze.

"No, no, I was just curious..."

"Hmph, what brings you to Starfall Pavilion to find Lin Ran?"

Zhu Li spoke calmly, pausing slightly, "For matters concerning bloodlines?"

Yao Xiaotian's heart tightened, and he said with a forced smile, "Yes, Senior Zhuli, you should also know about the situation of my Nine Netherworld Python. Sect Master Lin once made an agreement with us in the ancient ruins, saying that if we want our bloodline power to evolve, we should come to Starfall Pavilion to find him."

"It's a pity that Sect Master Lin has been in seclusion for some time, so we haven't had the chance. I didn't expect to meet Elder Zhuli here today."

"Don't bother looking for him. Lin Ran is coming to visit my Gulong Island in the next couple of days. If you want to find him, I'll talk to him then."

Zhu Li spoke calmly, but his words made Yao Xiaotian's face stiffen.

No, Mr. Zhuli, do you want to hear what you're saying?

A human visiting Ancient Dragon Island?!

Even I can't get to that Ancient Dragon Island, and you want a human to be a guest there?!

Yao Xiaotian subconsciously looked at Yao Chen. Yao Chen didn't speak, but the helpless look between his brows made Yao Xiaotian's mind wander.

Is this a visit, or... being forcibly taken away?

Yao Xiaotian felt a slight pang in his heart. If it was the former, then Lin Ran was indeed quite capable. Not only did their Nine Netherworld Pythons and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix want to have some connection with Lin Ran, but even the Ancient Void Dragon also wanted to.

But if it's the latter...

Hopefully, Lin Ran will have good fortune and won't die on that Ancient Dragon Island. The revival of the Nine Netherworld Python's bloodline depends on Lin Ran.

"I understand, senior. I hope Sect Leader Lin has a wonderful time on Ancient Dragon Island."

Yao Xiaotian spoke in a low voice, completely lacking the arrogant demeanor of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan Chief he had displayed earlier. He then turned to look at Yao Chen.

"Medicine Saint, if Sect Master Lin returns, please inform him that I have prepared fine wine and food in the Nine Netherworlds, awaiting his arrival!"

"Please rest assured, Demon Clan Chief, that's for sure."

Yao Chen cupped his hands in response.

Yao Xiaotian nodded slightly, then smiled and said to Zhu Li, "Then, Senior Zhu Li, I will take my leave for now."

"Um."

Having obtained Zhu Li's permission, Yao Xiaotian hurriedly tore through space, plunged into it, and left Xingyun Pavilion without looking back.

After Yao Xiaotian's aura completely dissipated, Zhu Li turned to look at Yao Chen.

"I know Lin Ran is a cunning fellow, but the Nine Netherworld Python race is quite special, especially their patriarch Yao Xiaotian. Tell him to be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Zhuli. I will definitely warn the sect leader." Yao Chen nodded repeatedly.

"Well then, I won't stay any longer. Let Lin Ran bring the King back as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Zhu Li tore through space and left. Yao Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed softly.

Faced with these powerful Battle Saints, he, a mere Half-Saint, was truly powerless to do anything about it.

All we can do is hope that Lin Ran will return soon.

However, no one expected that Lin Ran's trip to the Northwest Continent would last for several months!

……

In the Sacred Realm of the Northwest Continent.

As the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was continuously poured into Zi Yan's body, her aura became increasingly profound.

However, as energy continued to flow in, while Zi Yan's cultivation improved, a look of pain suddenly appeared on her face, and she let out a few muffled groans, her brows furrowing.

"Um?!"

This strange phenomenon immediately caught Lin Ran's attention, and he subconsciously wanted to cut off the energy supply to the Purple Phoenix Dragon Origin Fruit.

But then, his expression changed slightly.

Unbeknownst to them, the two were now completely connected by the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

It first entered Lin Ran's body, where it began to condense and filter with the help of Lin Ran's Holy Golden Meteor Heart Fire, before entering Zi Yan's body.

Then, some energy was fed back from Zi Yan's body and merged into Lin Ran's body, forming a clever cycle.

This cycle is almost perfect, provided... you can handle it!

However, it was clear that Lin Ran could barely withstand it thanks to his powerful physical body and cultivation. After all, his physical body was already incredibly strong, and during his last seclusion, he had even devoured an entire Dou Sheng skeleton, so his physical strength had long since reached the level of a Dou Sheng expert.

But Zi Yan is different.

As the daughter of the Dragon Emperor, she possessed boundless talent, but she was ultimately just a child, and at this moment, she could no longer withstand this power.

"In the original story, Zi Yan was sealed away by energy crystallization because she couldn't withstand the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. I never expected that this energy would still be so domineering under my Strange Fire Hammer!"

"No, we have to think of something..."

Lin Ran's gaze was solemn as he looked at Zi Yan, who had fallen into a coma due to the energy impact. He released the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame within his body without reservation, completely enveloping the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

The next moment, Lin Ran used the Sacred Golden Meteor Heart Flame to temper the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit once again!

If the energy originally poured into Zi Yan's body was like buckets of water, then it has now been compressed several times over, so much so that the color of that energy has turned into a purple-gold color, making it look extremely magnificent.

This energy flowed into Zi Yan's body, and her tense brows gradually relaxed.

However, a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Lin Ran's forehead.

This high-intensity stimulation of the strange fire placed an enormous burden on him, and even with Lin Ran's current physical condition, he could not sustain it for long.

Even the Pure Yang Dragon Body couldn't be maintained, so you can imagine how enormous Lin Ran's consumption was at this moment!

There's no way around it. In the original story, Xiao Yan had the help of the Ancient Dragon Clan when he refined Zi Yan's energy crystal. Lin Ran had nothing and relied entirely on himself. It's already quite impressive that he was able to achieve this level.

"If that's the case..."

Lin Ran suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the other end of the Holy Domain.

With a slight movement of his palm, a tremendous suction force erupted from the pill storage area of ​​his Sacred Domain's treasure pavilion, and in the next moment, countless pills floated around Lin Ran.

Lin Ran opened his mouth slightly and swallowed several pills, which were transformed into the purest energy to sustain his energy expenditure.

The enormous energy was refined by Lin Ran little by little and poured into Zi Yan's body, and Zi Yan's aura became stronger and stronger.

About a month has passed.

After Lin Ran completely refined that energy and integrated it into Zi Yan's body, Zi Yan's appearance changed drastically!

The girl, who was originally dressed as a young girl, was now covered in a purple-gold robe.

On her robe, dragons and phoenixes danced as if they were alive, exuding an undisguised noble aura. Her slender body was tall and graceful, and her long purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, spreading over her slender waist and then hanging down to her pert buttocks.

Originally purple eyes, they have now transformed into a purple-gold color, mysterious and bewitching. Under the gaze of these purple-gold eyes, it seems that even heaven and earth bow down, noble and exquisitely beautiful.

Most importantly, behind Zi Yan, there was actually a pair of purple-gold wings that were over ten feet long, and as her wings flapped, the sound of wind and thunder could be faintly heard, which was awe-inspiring!

"We finally succeeded."

Seeing Zi Yan like this, Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. But suddenly, a pair of fair hands landed on his collar and ripped it open. At the same time, a warm and jade-like body leaped into his arms.

During the time she absorbed energy, Zi Yan was unable to move and even fell into a coma, but she was actually aware of everything Lin Ran did.

Being with Lin Ran made her happy and carefree. She liked the pills Lin Ran made, his tone and personality, and even used her own essence blood to heal him when he was unconscious.

She wasn't sure if her feelings for Lin Ran were actually that kind of feeling.

But she knew a little.

If she doesn't seize this opportunity, she may find it difficult to cross this boundary with Lin Ran in the future.

"Zi Yan?!"

"Big brother... no, Lin Ran..."

Lin Ran's throat moved slightly, wanting to pull away, but Zi Yan held Lin Ran tightly, her voice filled with indescribable attachment.

"I like you so much..."

……

Meanwhile, deep in a mountain in the western region of Central China, a massive black palace lay prostrate like an ancient ferocious beast, faintly emanating terrifying energy fluctuations that chilled the heart.

Inside the massive hall, an overwhelming black mist surged forth.

A moment later, the black mist condensed and then surged violently. Three figures slowly appeared before everyone's eyes. Each of the three figures possessed a vast and powerful aura. The lowest of them was actually far beyond the peak of Dou Zun, and even far beyond Yao Chen's level!

With the appearance of these three people, the temperature in the world suddenly became much colder, and even the sunlight pouring down from the sky seemed to send a chill through people's hearts.

"Has the matter concerning the Human Palace been thoroughly investigated?"

"Not yet, but the aura of the 'Emperor's Seal Technique' was detected at the scene, which should be related to the ancient clans."

"Ancient clan, even if you are an ancient clan, you can't just recklessly destroy the Human Palace's accumulated wealth over the years!" The youngest of the three, the one in the middle, spoke calmly: "Miesheng, if you don't handle this matter well, you should know how the clan will deal with you."

"Of course, I will definitely give the clan an explanation!"

Soul Palace Master Hun Miesheng nodded.

"That's good. Also, many people from the Soul Hall were killed by that... Lin Ran, right? Do you have all the information you need about him?"

"I've got it all figured out."

The deputy hall master of the Soul Hall spoke in a deep voice: "That kid has a pure yang body, born with boundless fortune and continuous luck. He is now at the peak of the five-star Dou Zun level and has established a power alliance called 'Holy Rain Sect' in the Northwest Continent. Even the Starfall Pavilion is under his command."

"During this expedition to the ancient ruins, the Three Venerables must have died at his hands..."

"The Three Venerable Ones?"

The young man frowned slightly: "I remember that the Three Heavenly Venerables were at the peak of the Dou Zun realm, so how could they die at the hands of a Five-Star Dou Zun?"

"That kid possesses several Heaven-Rank combat techniques, all created by the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts based on his unique physique, and their power is extremely strong," explained the Soul Palace Vice Hall Master. "If he unleashes his full power, that kid's combat strength is even comparable to a Half-Saint. Moreover, the strange fire he wields is extremely special; it's a fusion of strange fires, and its intensity is enough to place him among the top five on the Strange Fire Ranking!"

"That's interesting..."

The young man murmured twice, a glint of light appearing in his eyes: "Whether it's a strange fire or a pure yang body, they are both of great use to my Soul Clan. Moreover, this kid is blessed with good fortune, so we can't let him grow up unchecked in the outside world."

"Extinction Life, that kid's forces... include the Starfall Pavilion, right? Let's start by targeting the Starfall Pavilion."

"Yes."
