Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 270 Controlling the Nine Netherworld Python

"clang!"

The seal on the last iron chain was broken.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Ran released a gentle force that freed Yao Ming from his shackles, catching him as he nearly fell.

"You've just escaped, and your battle qi is almost completely depleted. Right now, any Dou Zong expert could easily kill you."

"Haha, I never thought I, Yao Ming, would actually survive to this day. May I ask your honorable name?"

Although Yao Ming's body was extremely weak, he was clearly very excited. He turned his gaze to Lin Ran and laughed loudly.

"Lin Ran".

"Brother Lin Ran, I will never forget your life-saving grace. As long as I can take my revenge, I will do everything in my power, even if it means using the entire power of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, to help you in the future!" Yao Ming said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Lin Ran.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran smiled calmly.

He could feel the intense gratitude in Yao Ming's words. Although this gratitude stemmed from his resentment towards Yao Xiaotian, gratitude was gratitude nonetheless.

Moreover, he has already branded Yao Ming's soul. With both of these factors combined, as long as Yao Ming can reclaim the position of patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python, then the Nine Netherworld Python will basically be Lin Ran's for the taking.

Lin Ran flicked his finger, and a bottle of pills flew toward Yao Ming, saying, "Take these pills to recover some of your battle qi. We can't stay here for too long. Let's leave the Nine Netherworlds as soon as possible. Once you've recovered your strength, go and cause trouble for Yao Xiaotian."

"Yes, Brother Lin Ran is absolutely right!"

Yao Ming nodded and, without any hesitation, swallowed the entire bottle of pills. He knew that in his current state, he was no match for Yao Xiaotian.

"Walk!"

Seeing that Yao Ming had been completely rescued, Lin Ran waved his sleeve, put the Nine Netherworld Stone into his pocket, and then transformed into two water arrows with him, rushing upwards like lightning.

Although he spent a considerable amount of time in the Netherworld and even helped Yao Ming destroy the chains and shackles, his fighting spirit was not significantly depleted.

Having evolved from the Pure Yang Body into the Pure Yang Sacred Body, and with the addition of the Dragon-Phoenix Body, Lin Ran will basically never have the trouble of running out of battle qi.

Even if you use a Heaven-rank combat skill as a basic attack, you can fully recover!

This is the domineering power of the Pure Yang Sacred Body!

On the way back, they encountered countless strange snakes again, but the demon seemed to have a way to control them. After making some strange noises, it made the snakes stay far away.

Lin Ran showed an interested expression, but did not ask any more questions. These snakes were indeed quite powerful in the Nine Netherworld, but once they left the Nine Netherworld, their combat power would drop by eight or nine tenths, and they would not be of much use.

Without any obstacles, their speed increased dramatically. In less than ten minutes, he saw some lights in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. With a flick of his sleeve, he suddenly increased his speed.

"We're going out!"

As they drew closer to the lake, Lin Ran smiled, then with a sudden movement, he grabbed Yao Ming, broke through the water, and landed on the lake.

"Bang!"

Just as Lin Ran steadied himself, a deep, muffled sound suddenly came from mid-air, followed by a graceful figure flying backwards from the sky, accompanied by a sharp, whistling sound.

"Colorful scales?!"

Upon seeing that beautiful figure, Lin Ran's expression changed. With a flick of his sleeve, a surge of gentle energy burst forth, forcefully catching her. Then, with a grab, he pulled Cai Lin to his side.

"You've finally come out."

Landing beside Lin Ran, Cai Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her jade-like hand.

Upon seeing the bloodstains at the corner of Cai Lin's mouth, Lin Ran's eyes turned cold. He didn't ask anything, but slowly raised his head. In mid-air, a figure in black stood suspended in the air, looking down at him with an unusually sinister gaze.

"Interesting, Yao Xiaotian. You should know that Cai Lin is my person, yet you still dare to make a move?"

Yao Xiaotian, standing in the sky, stared at Lin Ran and the skeletal Yao Ming beside him with an extremely sinister gaze, a venomous smile appearing on his face.

"Lin Ran, I had no intention of being your enemy, but how dare you ruin my grand plan!"

"I don't care whether it's the Heavenly Phoenix or the Ancient Void Dragon behind you, today, I will make you perish in this Yellow Springs! As for this Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python, I will take it on your behalf. This is the price you must pay for your recklessness!"

"Yao Xiaotian, you bastard, today I will tear you to pieces and throw you into the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes!"

Gazing at the black-clad man in the sky, Yao Ming's eyes instantly turned blood red, and boundless resentment burst forth from them. His low roar echoed endlessly throughout the deep ravine.

"Hehehe, my good brother, I didn't expect you to still be alive. But now you can't even withstand one of my moves. Don't worry, this time I won't give you any chance to struggle!" Hearing Yao Ming's venomous growl, the man in the sky also laughed coldly.

Lin Ran remained expressionless as he listened to the conversation between the two brothers.

I was originally planning to use Yao Ming to slowly play with Yao Xiaotian, but since this kid is courting death, I might as well just finish him off.

Lin Ran took out a pill, put it into Cai Lin's mouth, and whispered, "Wait here for a while, the battle won't last long."

"Yes, be careful!"

Cai Lin obediently swallowed the pill and hid to the side.

Although she currently possesses strength approaching that of a half-saint, she is still no match for a true Dou Sheng powerhouse.

"Lin Ran, I know you've broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, but today you trespassed into my Nether Serpent Vein and almost ruined my grand plan. Today, I will throw you and that cripple into the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave!"

Yao Xiaotian stared at Lin Ran with extremely sinister eyes. If it weren't for the trace of his soul imprint in the seal, the latter would probably have secretly rescued Yao Ming today. And when Yao Ming recovers his strength in the future, he will definitely come to seize the position of clan leader, which will cause a lot of trouble.

"Although you have a deep hatred for this guy, he's really just a mortal. It's the same if I help you get rid of him, isn't it?"

Lin Ran's face didn't show much emotion in the face of Yao Xiaotian's sinister gaze. Without waiting for Yao Ming to recover, he waved his sleeve and sent a gentle force to send Yao Ming to the shore, saying calmly.

"Be careful, this guy is now at the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng, and he has also mastered many of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's unique techniques. He's not easy to deal with!"

Yao Ming spoke up to remind him that his most urgent task was indeed to recover his fighting spirit as soon as possible. Although Yao Xiaotian was afraid to make too much of a fuss because of his appearance, he must have built up his own trusted forces over the years. Other elders might not dare to take action because of his identity, but this guy's confidants would definitely obey Yao Xiaotian's orders completely.

Lin Ran moved swiftly and instantly appeared in front of Yao Xiaotian.

"To be honest, I never expected that you would dare to say those things to me and lay a hand on my people, knowing all about me. Honestly, even I have to admire your courage."

"Your talent and background are indeed terrifying. If you were allowed to continue growing, even I, the King, would only be able to look up to you. But you have only just broken through to the Dou Sheng realm. Today, I will show you what it means to be outmatched and to be in a world of great power!"

The smile on Yao Xiaotian's face slowly faded, his gaze fixed on Lin Ran with a cold, venomous look. His body trembled violently, and a monstrous, chilling aura suddenly surged forth from within him.

Instantly, the world began to fluctuate violently, and the overwhelming energy gathered like lightning above his head into a giant hand that was a thousand feet long, containing extremely cold and yin power.

"die!"

As soon as the word was uttered, the enormous palm crashed down, its terrifying force instantly causing the space around Lin Ran to collapse.

"...That's it?"

Lin Ran raised his head and looked at the energy palm print that was rapidly enlarging in his pupils. He smiled, waved his sleeve, and the palm print collapsed!

"What?!"

Seeing Lin Ran casually shatter his attack, Yao Xiaotian frowned slightly and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything.

After a cold snort, Yao Xiaotian's hands flashed out in a series of extremely complex hand seals, and as the hand seals were formed, the energy of this world immediately gathered again.

"The Finger of the Underworld!"

Vast energy converged and, under Yao Xiaotian's control, rapidly condensed into a deep yellow finger hundreds of feet in size. The surface of this finger was extremely rough, but it exuded a faint destructive power. From a distance, it looked like a pillar supporting the sky, towering between heaven and earth.

"One finger to the Yellow Springs, severing life and death!"

Yao Tianxiao sneered as he looked down at Lin Ran. He pointed his finger sharply, and instantly, the enormous Yellow Spring Finger in the sky crashed down with a thunderous roar.

The entire space collapsed at that moment, and the surrounding deep ravines were cracked open with huge fissures. The ground shook violently, as if it were an earthquake.

"This is the Yellow Springs Finger."

Looking at the power of the Yellow Spring Finger, Lin Ran's eyes also flashed with surprise. A Dou Sheng expert using a Heaven-rank Dou Technique could almost easily destroy a city.

But we're still far from being able to deal with him.

Lin Ran flicked his sleeve again, and a surge of powerful battle qi shot out once more, colliding fiercely with the Yellow Spring Finger.

"Boom!"

The two energies collided continuously in mid-air. Lin Ran's energy was just an ordinary battle qi strike, while the Yellow Spring Finger was a Heaven-rank battle skill.

However, the two forces kept colliding in mid-air, and soon, the Yellow Spring Finger fell into a disadvantageous position. Finally, under the shocked and angry gaze of Yao Tianxiao, it was completely shattered by the battle qi!

"How...how is this possible?!"

Upon seeing the Yellow Spring Finger broken, a look of shock appeared in Yao Xiaotian's eyes.

So far, Lin Ran has not used a single fighting technique, but even if he used a Heaven-rank fighting technique, he still could not match him.

This kid didn't just break through to the Dou Sheng level; his strength doesn't match the information we had!

Yao Xiaotian's expression was extremely ugly, but at this moment he was already in a difficult situation.

Whether it's the already unsealed Yao Ming or the offended Lin Ran, if he doesn't deal with both of them today, what awaits him will be a future more terrifying than death!

Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Xiaotian's figure blurred, and an overwhelming chill surged forth from his body. At the same time, his body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a massive black serpent thousands of feet long in the blink of an eye. Raging flames spread out, making him resemble an evil god between heaven and earth.

"The sealing technique, the Great Seal of Underworld!"

Transforming into its true form, the demon Tianxiao roared to the sky, and as it roared, a terrifyingly cold power suddenly surged forth from the Nine Netherworlds below.

Under Yao Tianxiao's control, and combined with his own overwhelming battle qi, these chilling energies instantly formed a massive black seal resembling a giant mountain, covered with countless strange runes.

"Brother Lin Ran, be careful! This is one of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's clan-protecting fighting techniques. It's a mid-level Heaven-rank technique. If you are suppressed, you will be directly sealed in the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs. I was ambushed by this move back then, which is why I suffered for hundreds of years!"

As the giant seal appeared, Lin Ran also heard Yao Ming's warning voice.

"Lin Ran, you will fall for this king!"

Upon seeing the giant seal take shape, Yao Tianxiao laughed loudly. With a flick of his massive snake tail, the black giant seal suddenly turned and aimed at Lin Ran. An indescribably cold power caused the space around the latter to instantly become viscous.

"Suppress!"

As the shout fell, the giant black seal trembled, actually piercing through space and appearing above Lin Ran's head in a flash. Finally, it crashed down, slamming Lin Ran into the Netherworld!

"Boom!"

The giant black seal landed on the lake surface, and countless huge water columns shot out, spreading out a terrifying energy ripple that instantly leveled anything within the deep ravine.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Upon seeing this, the giant snake that Yao Tianxiao had transformed into burst into laughter. With the help of the chilling power of the Nine Netherworld, even if Lin Ran's strength was superior to his, he would definitely not have a good ending with this move!

"Oops!"

Upon seeing this, Yao Ming, who was working hard to recover his fighting spirit, felt a chill in his heart.

"Bang!"

However, just as Yao Xiaotian's loud laughter subsided, the giant black seal that was suppressing the Nine Netherworlds suddenly trembled violently. Then, in the next instant, a loud noise rang out, and the giant seal was directly blasted backward!

"What?" Yao Tianxiao was startled upon seeing this.

"Not bad fighting skills. It's time for you to experience mine."

"boom!!"

Accompanied by an indifferent voice, the Nine Netherworlds suddenly exploded, and an incomparably dazzling holy golden light burst forth, transforming into a giant golden palm that slammed towards Yao Xiaotian.

At the same time, Lin Ran's cultivation aura was fully exposed, causing Yao Xiaotian in the sky to be extremely shocked and his face full of disbelief.

"Three, a three-star Dou Sheng?!"
