Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 284 Seizing the Origin!

With the Soul Palace Master's angry roar, the black pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth quickly shrank back, transforming into a black cylinder about ten feet in length in a short instant.

Inside the cylinder, a milky-white flame slowly rose, and an extremely terrifying temperature quietly spread out.

"It's a success."

Everyone was overjoyed to see this.

After a fierce battle fought by seven four-star Dou Sheng, they finally managed to seal away the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Lin Ran's gaze fell on the black pillar of light. After a moment, he quickly came back to his senses and glanced at the Hall Master of the Soul Palace without leaving a trace.

At this moment, everyone in the arena was covered in wounds and their aura was weak. Clearly, the battle with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame had taken a heavy toll on them.

However, a few people still have reservations.

For example, the Lord of the Soul Hall.

For example... himself!

As the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was sealed, a brief silence fell over the sky.

"Hehe, this cooperation has truly been a pleasure. The Pure Lotus Demon Flame has finally been sealed, sparing the people of Central Continent from further devastation... Thank you all!"

After a brief moment of consolidation, the Lord of the Soul Palace burst into laughter and then cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Nanhai and the others.

Seeing him like this, the others relaxed a little.

However, in that instant of relief, a strange smile flashed across the Soul Palace Master's face. He suddenly grabbed at the black pillar of light, which then shot towards him with lightning speed: "Haha, thank you all for today! My Soul Clan will remember your kindness!"

"You bastard!"

"It was definitely not a good product!"

This scene startled everyone, and they quickly came to their senses, their angry curses echoing through the sky.

"Palace Master, taking away the demonic fire is not that easy."

Just as the black pillar of light was only a dozen feet away from the Hall Master of the Soul Palace, Lin Ran's voice rang out.

Immediately, the space distorted, the direction of the black beam of light was reversed, and it flew towards the direction where Lin Ran was.

"What?!"

Seeing the demonic fire essence that was about to be obtained fly away, the Soul Palace Master was furious and looked at Lin Ran with a cold gaze.

"How could you possibly possess such spatial power!"

Despite his anger, the Soul Hall Master did not immediately attack Lin Ran. Instead, he quickly turned to Soul Wind and the Soul Hall Vice Hall Master, shouting, "Why aren't you seizing the Demon Flame?!"

"Let's do it!"

The change here came extremely suddenly, but it did not take anyone present by surprise.

Everyone knew that after that brief alliance, a civil war would break out immediately. Such a hasty alliance was the most fragile and vulnerable. The previous friendship was almost powerless against the temptation of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!

Therefore, just as the Hall Master of the Soul Palace uttered his shout...

Everyone present then took action and began to fight.

"That's the source of the demonic fire! Grab it now!"

At this moment, almost everyone realized what was happening, and fiery red gazes were immediately cast toward the black pillar of light that was constantly flying in the sky. The source of the demonic fire was sealed inside. Whoever could obtain it would undoubtedly see their strength increase instantly!

"call out!"

All eyes were fixed on the black pillar of light. In just a moment, the sound of wind breaking through the air became deafening. Almost all the surviving experts frantically used their movement techniques to grab at the black pillar of light.

"Haha, I've obtained the essence of demonic fire!"

Amidst this frenzied scramble, a high-level semi-saint in a yellow robe, his face beaming with elation, managed to grab one end of the black pillar of light. However, just as his laughter rang out, nearly ten fierce fist gusts struck his body without mercy. Instantly, half of his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and his shrill screams echoed through the sky.

Seeing the chaotic situation, Lin Ran was not in a hurry. Instead, he flicked his palm and a jade bottle flew out quickly, finally landing in Gu Nanhai's hand.

"Recover your condition first, Elder Gu Nan."

Most of these experts who have reached the level of four-star Dou Sheng or above are currently somewhat weak, so none of them have made a move yet. Whoever makes the first move will undoubtedly have a much higher success rate in seizing the source of the demonic fire.

After receiving the pill, Gu Nanhai didn't waste any words and immediately swallowed it to restore his fighting spirit. Of course, at this time, he also had to be vigilant about his surroundings to prevent anyone from taking advantage of his weakness.

At the same time, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall and Soul Wind also joined the struggle for the demonic fire.

Their methods are extremely ruthless, and every move is deadly. Ordinary half-saints cannot withstand a single blow from them, and even Dou Sheng powerhouses must be careful.

People like Yao Chen and Huo Yun Lao Zu were also very careful and dared not make any rash moves.

Amidst the chaos, Xun'er suddenly appeared beside the pillar of light and grabbed one end of it.

However, when she pulled hard, she found that the pillar of light did not move at all. She turned her head and saw a young man in a black robe staring at her indifferently and sinisterly at the other end of the pillar of light.

"Soul Wind!"

Upon seeing this person, Xun'er's pretty face turned icy cold.

"You possess the divine bloodline of the ancient race?"

Hunfeng stared at Xun'er, a sinister smile on his face: "Your bloodline is good, but your cultivation is still a bit lacking."

"Whether their cultivation levels are different or not, you'll only know after a competition!"

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Xun'er slightly raised her jade hand, and the dazzling Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame spread out in her palm, and without any hesitation, she slammed it hard into Hun Feng's face.

"The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking."

A cold smile appeared on Hun Feng's face as he looked at the strange fire in Xun'er's palm. The curve of his lips widened: "Unfortunately, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, lacking its source, poses no threat to this Saint."

While sneering, Hunfeng spun his palm and swung out his right palm, actually responding to Xun'er's strange fire attack directly with his palm without dodging.

"Bang!"

The moment their palms touched, a powerful ripple of energy swept outwards, forcefully pushing back the two nearby semi-saint powerhouses, and even causing the space itself to subtly distort.

"The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, possessing only half of its original power, today I will show you just how utterly vulnerable it truly is!"

Hun Feng gave a cold smile, and a strange purple-black light suddenly flashed in his pure black eyes. A strange devouring force erupted from his palm. Under this devouring force, Xun'er immediately discovered that the strange fire on her palm was being absorbed into Hun Feng's body in streams. Moreover, as soon as these strange fires entered the latter's body, they would immediately lose their connection with her.

"How could that be!"

Xun'er was terrified. Her jade hands kept forming hand seals, and the battle qi in her body surged wildly like a vast ocean. One powerful battle technique after another was launched at Hun Feng without any hesitation.

"The Imperial Seal Technique!"

"Great Annihilation Technique!"

"Rending Wind Tiger Roar Palm!"

"Black Extreme Burst Force!"

Faced with Xun'er's fierce offensive, Hun Feng remained unfazed.

Not only did he not back down in the slightest, but he also pushed his fighting spirit to the limit. One after another, he unleashed powerful high-level fighting techniques at an astonishing speed. In an instant, energy surged in the sky. The earth-shattering battle left many people secretly horrified.

Above the sky, the sea of ​​fire from the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame surged across the heavens, and all the other powerful figures hurriedly fled as soon as the sea of ​​fire spread.

In that sea of ​​fire, only Xun'er and Hunfeng kept clashing.

"As expected of the once-in-a-millennium beauty of the ancient clan, she is actually able to fight on par with Hunfeng."

The Hall Master of the Soul Palace frowned slightly as he watched the two fighting fiercely.

Although Hun Feng is only a late-stage two-star Dou Sheng, his combat power is comparable to that of a three-star Dou Sheng. In addition, most of the fighting techniques he has learned are top-tier fighting techniques of the Soul Clan, which further amplifies his combat power.

Xun'er's strength was only at the early stage of a two-star Dou Sheng, yet she was able to fight him without being at a disadvantage for a short period of time.

"Give me some more time, and I will be able to make a move again. Then, I won't need to..." The Soul Palace Master's eyes flashed rapidly, and finally he looked up at the sky above the sea of ​​fire, where a black pillar of light stood suspended in the air, emitting a faint glow that seemed to possess magic, giving people a crazy impulse.

"This time, my Soul Clan must obtain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!" The Soul Palace Master clenched his fist and roared in his heart.

But in that instant, a dazzling figure suddenly pierced the sky and joined the battle.

"Lin Ran?!"

"How is that possible!"

"How could he recover so quickly!"

"Damn it, it's the Pure Yang Holy Body!"

Everyone present was stunned, staring in disbelief at the figure that shone as brightly as the sun in the sky.

"Great Sun Holy Sun Palm!"

Above the sky, Lin Ran's figure flashed and appeared directly above the Soul Wind. A huge energy palm print burst out and fiercely swept towards the Soul Wind below.

"What?!"

Hun Feng was shocked; he hadn't expected Lin Ran to recover so quickly.

Lin Ran's power was unstoppable; even if Hun Feng unleashed countless soul skills, he could not withstand Lin Ran's offensive.

The dazzling palm print crashed down, but in that instant, a dark shadow appeared and disappeared. Just as it appeared, an extremely strange suction force suddenly swept out and absorbed the palm print released by Lin Ran.

"How is this possible? Lin Ran's attack was actually absorbed and devoured?!"

"This Soul Wind is only a two-star Dou Sheng, how could he...?"

Everyone present was extremely shocked, and the Soul Hall's Vice Hall Master and the Soul Hall Master, who were fighting with the group, both frowned.

"So he was actually forced to reveal it? Oh well, damn Lin Ran, damn Pure Yang Holy Body!"

"Fine, so be it. Today, my Soul Clan is determined to obtain this demonic fire!"

"As expected of the battle qi of the Pure Yang Holy Body, the taste is indeed unique..." Soul Wind smacked his lips as he devoured the battle qi, a strangely eerie smile appearing on his face.

He looked at Lin Ran in front of him, and black flames with a strange devouring power seeped out from his pupils. The energy in the surrounding world was also being continuously drawn into his body and then completely devoured by that strange power.

"The strange flames you two possess are quite impressive. One is the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking, and the other is a fused strange flame."

"But I possess an even stronger strange fire!" Hun Feng sneered, slowly extending his palm. A strange black flame suddenly emerged, churning and coalescing into a human face. A surge of devouring power erupted from the face's mouth.

When the black flames with the human face appeared, everyone present was shocked. Even the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which was sealed, trembled slightly at this moment.

"Second on the list of extraordinary flames... the Void Devouring Flame?!"

The Void Devouring Flame is the second-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, ranking one place higher than the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

In terms of mystery, this strange fire surpasses even the Purifying Lotus Demon Fire. At least, news of the Purifying Lotus Demon Fire's descent has appeared on the continent, but so far, there seems to be no news about the Void Devouring Flame.

The Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the list of strange flames, is born from nothingness. It has no form to be found and no shape to be grasped. From a certain perspective, the Void Devouring Flame can be considered a rather peculiar existence.

The Void Devouring Flame, known as something that devours the heavens and the earth, possesses the ability to devour all things. In the world, only a very few things can resist that devouring power.

However, this Void Devouring Flame has always existed only in legends, and there has never been any evidence of its existence!

"Void Devouring Flame... How... How is this possible?! How could he possibly possess the Void Devouring Flame?!"

Yao Chen also recognized the strange black flames immediately, and his face was filled with extreme shock as he murmured in disbelief.

Upon hearing his words, everyone around him trembled violently. Even the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower and the others had their expressions turn solemn.

For a moment, the Demon Flame Space was completely silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the Void Devouring Flame in Hun Feng's hand.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The black flames bearing the human face on Hunfeng's palm seemed to become even more powerful after absorbing Lin Ran's battle qi, and bursts of excited shouts actually emanated from them.

"Lin Ran, it seems it's quite satisfied with your battle aura and the strange fire it contains. I rarely see it so excited." Seeing this, Hun Feng also revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

Lin Ran remained expressionless. The next moment, the soul power between his brows suddenly surged out, transforming into a massive phantom hundreds of feet long, completely enveloping his body. As the phantom formed its hand seals, it suddenly opened its enormous mouth, and instantly, a terrifying and strange wave erupted from its mouth like a storm!

"The Wrath of the Underworld!"

"Moo!"
