Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 313 Refining!

As soon as the Nine Profound Golden Thunder entered his body, a torrent of lightning roared out.

Lin Ran's clothes were instantly destroyed by the lightning, and even his skin began to crack rapidly.

Lin Ran's body was incredibly powerful, but the energy of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning was far too violent, its intensity being no less than Lin Ran's at this moment.

In other words, Lin Ran was as if he had devoured another version of himself at this moment. Under such explosive energy, even he was finding it difficult to withstand.

The raging Nine Profound Golden Lightning ravaged Lin Ran's body. His fair skin began to turn pitch black under the onslaught of the lightning. As the energy surged, the pitch-black skin shattered, revealing the flesh beneath. Between the flesh and blood, some scales could be faintly seen.

This is the ancient dragon and phoenix armor hidden beneath the skin; however, even the most sturdy ancient armor has become dull and faded at this moment.

"Come on, let me see just how strong you really are!"

"Refine the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame!"

An indescribable, excruciating pain emanated from every part of Lin Ran's body; the pain was so intense it was maddening.

However, Lin Ran's eyes were bloodshot as he endured the discomfort and pain in his body, constantly urging the Purifying Sacred Heart Flame to refine this enormous energy.

The Nine Profound Golden Lightning is equivalent to the Fallen Heart Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking. It is the absolute king among lightning. If an ordinary seven or eight-star Dou Sheng were to come, he would definitely not dare to directly devour and refine the Nine Profound Golden Lightning in this void lightning pool.

That's not about absorbing rare and precious materials to strengthen yourself; it's about throwing your life away!

But Lin Ran is different.

Although the Nine Profound Golden Lightning is powerful, the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame is fully qualified to rival and contend with it. Coupled with Lin Ran's formidable physical body, I, Lin Ran, am determined to refine this Nine Profound Golden Lightning today!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Nine Profound Golden Lightning seemed to understand Lin Ran's thoughts, and immediately began to struggle violently. The violent lightning raged on Lin Ran's body, and the golden lightning radiance became more and more terrifying.

Although the gathering of spirits failed and it lacked intelligence, it remained free.

However, if it is devoured by Lin Ran, then it will completely fall under Lin Ran's control!

This is something that beings like the Nine Profound Golden Thunder resist the most and absolutely cannot tolerate!

The lightning raged, and some of the relatively fragile meridians in Lin Ran's body were instantly destroyed, and even some of his bones showed signs of softening.

Even so, Lin Ran remained unmoved.

Although the Nine Profound Golden Lightning was violent, the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame within Lin Ran's body was no pushover either. Every time the Nine Profound Golden Lightning struggled, the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame was also urging its own power to continuously refine the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

Over time, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning stopped bothering Lin Ran's physical body and instead began to clash with the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame. The two engaged in a fierce battle using Lin Ran's physical body as their battlefield.

Each collision between the two would cause great damage to Lin Ran's physical body, but with Lin Ran's constitution, such damage would soon be automatically repaired. Moreover, as the damage was repaired, the strength of Lin Ran's physical body would increase again, and this repaired physical body would also contain a faint golden electric light.

The internal refining process continued, while the external situation was equally intense.

As Lin Ran swallowed the essence of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, countless black demonic lightning bolts seemed to be activated, and began to surge wildly.

At first, they dared not act recklessly because of the power of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning. However, as Lin Ran closed his eyes and focused on refining the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, the black demon lightning seemed to have found its target and surged towards Lin Ran.

Countless black lightning bolts, resembling giant pythons, roared and surged, their power overwhelming and sweeping towards Lin Ran.

With both internal and external forces at work, even the mighty Pure Yang Saint Body began to suffer continuous damage, revealing countless white bones. However, these white bones were rapidly healing, but the speed could not keep up with the destruction.

Despite this ebb and flow, Lin Ran's cultivation level actually increased rather than decreased, gradually breaking through the bottleneck of the eight-star Dou Sheng and advancing towards a higher level...

……

ancient world.

Inside the magnificent hall, several figures landed, their gazes all fixed on Gu Yuan, who sat on the main seat. Gu Yuan, in turn, looked down at Yao Chen below.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, what's going on?" Lei Ying looked at Gu Yuan beside him and asked in surprise.

"Half a month has passed. If we lack Sect Master Lin's combat power, we may not have much of an advantage against the Soul Clan," Yan Jin said from the side.

Since Lin Ran said half a month ago that he was going into seclusion for a while, there has been no news. The original time has arrived, and if it continues to be delayed, the Soul Clan will inevitably pull some strange tricks again.

"Yao Chen, Sect Leader Lin, he..."

Yao Dan glanced at Gu Yuan, knowing that Gu Yuan was also unaware, and then looked at Yao Chen, who had been silent all along.

Yao Chen gave a wry smile, feeling immense pressure. He said helplessly, "Clan leaders, the sect leader said he's going into seclusion. I don't know the specifics. Perhaps he'll gain something great during this seclusion, which is why it will take so long..."

Upon hearing Yao Chen's words, everyone present sighed.

It seems that Lin Ran cannot be relied upon. So, whether to continue waiting or take action directly depends on Gu Yuan's decision.

"We understand that Lin Ran has something to do, but in the fight against the Soul Clan, time is of the essence, otherwise things may change."

Gu Yuan said in a deep voice, "I have located the entrance to the Soul Clan's Soul Realm. Tomorrow, the army will set off to attack the Soul Clan!"

"yes!"

The clan leaders present exchanged glances, stood up in unison, and loudly agreed.

……

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

Numerous powerful figures from ancient clans rose into the sky, forming a neat formation. Their vast aura surged as if they were one, exuding boundless power.

The leader of the ancient clan was undoubtedly Gu Yuan, and behind him were the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, an eight-star Dou Sheng, and the three immortals of the ancient clan who were in the late stage of seven-star Dou Sheng.

Besides these, there were the elders of the ancient clan. Although these elders were not as strong as the previous ones, they were still quite powerful, mostly four or five-star experts. There were also dozens of other Dou Sheng experts!

If such a lineup were placed in Zhongzhou, they would be absolutely invincible!

It is not a rumor that the Gu clan was able to become the nominal head of the eight clans after the Xiao clan.

Their strength justifies their status, provided that the enigmatic Soul Clan is excluded. Even Gu Yuan and the others cannot guarantee that they fully understand the true strength of this race.

Not long after all the powerful members of the ancient clans had arrived, a loud whooshing sound came from the distant sky.

Immediately, a large number of dark figures flashed across the sky and finally appeared in the sky in unison.

In an instant, numerous powerful auras spread out, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

"Hehe, Clan Chief Gu Yuan, this time, my Yan Clan has sent out all its elite forces."

Yan Jin smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Yuan. Behind him stood dozens of figures, each with a long and powerful aura, clearly true experts.

Among these powerful figures, the most eye-catching was a bewitching beauty dressed in a red robe.

The beautiful woman had a charming smile on her face, and her mature and alluring appearance made her seem mature and attractive. However, the aura she exuded was terrifying, and her cultivation level was no less than that of the three immortals of the ancient clan!

"The Fire Spirit Fairy is becoming more and more beautiful. With this level of cultivation, she is probably about to reach the threshold of an eight-star Dou Sheng."

Not long after the Yan Clan arrived, more than a dozen figures broke through the air, and Lei Ying, who was leading them, laughed loudly, his rough voice resounding through the sky.

"Clan Chief Lei Ying is joking. I'm still a long way from reaching the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm."

The beautiful woman from the Yan tribe smiled gracefully, her beautiful eyes lifting slightly, a captivating smile spreading across her face. With just one glance, she made countless hearts flutter.

However, the next moment, a rich medicinal fragrance brought everyone present back to their senses.

Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the medicinal fragrance, and saw more than a dozen figures breaking through the air.

"The Thunder and Flame clans are formidable, and our Medicine Clan naturally cannot be outdone. Gentlemen, in this battle against the Soul Clan, our Medicine Clan will take care of all the logistical support and medicinal supplies!"

"Very well, with your words of encouragement, the powerful members of my Flame Clan will surely kill a few more old ghosts from the Soul Clan!"

"Medicine pill, you've really gone to great lengths. It seems we, the men of the Thunder Clan, cannot afford to back down."

The powerful figures from the three races laughed heartily, and the members of the ancient race couldn't help but show some smiles as well, which eased the tense atmosphere before the great battle.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, now that all three races have arrived, let's set off!"

The next moment, Gu Yuan waved his hand, and instantly, a vast array of powerful auras surged up in this space.

"Walk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, and a huge passage was torn open in the space in front of him. He took the lead and walked straight in.

Behind him, Yao Dan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin followed closely behind, followed by the powerful figures from the four clans, who also filed in one after another. Only when the last person entered did the spatial passage gradually dissipate.

When the ancient world's large force was mobilized.

Countless rays of light suddenly shot out from within the Starfall Pavilion, the headquarters of the Central Sacred Sect.

Within the Beast Realm, the Nine-Colored Sky-Devouring Python led a horde of snakes in a frenzied surge.

The ancient celestial phoenix cried out, and countless colorful phoenixes pierced the sky!

At this moment, countless figures swept across the northwestern region of Zhongzhou.

With such a large number of powerful figures mobilized, the entire Central Continent was in an uproar!

The name of the Holy Sect has long been known throughout the Central Continent. It is not only a force of humans, but also a united sect of the three major families of magical beasts.

For the Holy Emperor to take such action, there can only be one enemy.

That's the Soul Clan!

The shadow of war looms over Central Plains!

……

The Burial Sky Mountain Range is located in the northwest region of Zhongzhou. People in Zhongzhou may be unfamiliar with this area now, but for some elders among the ancient races, it is still a well-known name.

This is also the site of the war between the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan, a battle that once made the Central Plains tremble.

What no one knows is that after defeating the Xiao Clan, the Soul Clan used this mountain range as their gateway to the Soul Realm!

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a great sound of wind breaking echoed through the silent mountains, and then a large number of shadows emerged on the horizon.

Finally, after a few flashes, he appeared in the ancient battlefield.

"arrive……

Gu Yuan landed lightly on his feet, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield now reduced to ruins, a slightly complex expression in his eyes.

The great war between the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan began here. Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, their battle with the Soul Clan will also begin here.

"The Holy Ancestor's men have come at night."

Gu Yuan suddenly looked up at the northern horizon, where a familiar aura could be faintly felt.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, everyone looked in that direction. Before long, the sound of wind breaking came from the northern horizon, and then a dark mass of people swept in, their numbers no less than those of the three races.

"It seems the Holy Sect has truly mobilized its entire force this time."

Looking at that massive lineup, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Yao Dan all showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Although the Holy Sect may be somewhat inferior to the Flame and Thunder Clan in terms of elite troops, the number of its powerful members has reached a rather terrifying level.

"It seems Lin Ran didn't come. To fill the vacancy left by Lin Ran, the Holy Sect sent all its strongest experts..."

"Hehe, it seems we weren't too late after all!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a vast array of dark shadows rapidly appeared above the mountain range, then scattered and fell. The one leading the way was naturally Yao Chen.

Behind him, Xiao Chen, the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower, Shennong Elder, and other powerful figures also followed.

To its left, a phoenix cry rang out in the sky, and then Feng Qing'er led the powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to arrive.

To its right, the snakes hissed, and nine-colored light shone brightly in the sky, with Yao Ming and the other Nine Netherworld Pythons following closely behind!

"Blood Axe Xiao Chen... I never thought we'd meet again after a thousand years."

"Hiss... That's the aura of an ancient Celestial Phoenix? The Celestial Phoenix Clan is incredible; they actually produced an ancient Celestial Phoenix!"

"Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python...that's the legendary Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?!"

Upon seeing the arrival of the powerful figures under the Holy Sect, the expressions of the four clans present varied, and even clan leaders such as Gu Yuan and Yan Jin were not without surprise.

They already knew about Blood Axe Xiao Chen, but they knew nothing about the Nine-Colored Devouring Python and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

If these two can continue to grow, they are fully qualified to reach the pinnacle of the continent. The foundation of this Holy Sect is actually no less than that of any other race present!

Among the ancient clans, Xun'er's gaze lingered on Cai Lin and Feng Qing'er, with her focus on Cai Lin.

Cai Lin and Feng Qing'er seemed to sense something as well, their gazes turning back to Xun'er, who gently nodded in response.

The three women actually had a lot to say to each other, but this wasn't the right time...
