Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 317 Fierce Battle!

"Form ranks!"

Seeing the terrifying offensive launched by the four clans and the Holy Sect's allied forces, the Soul Clan had to grit their teeth and persevere, while several fierce shouts rang out.

Suddenly, numerous black chains shrouded in black mist shot out, intersecting each other in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a net, attempting to stop the offensive of the four races and the allied forces.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A continuous stream of vast battle energy bombarded the chain formation.

A series of piercing screams erupted from the chains, and the black mist on the chains rapidly dissipated.

The battle below was fierce, and the fight between Lin Ran and the Void Devouring Flame was equally intense.

"Lin Ran, today I will devour your Purifying Sacred Heart Flame and Nine Profound Golden Thunder!"

Black flames surged wildly, and Void Devouring Flame coldly shouted, extending his palms. The towering black flames erupted, and an endless suction force surged from his body, making him resemble a black hole.

"Hehe, I'm quite interested in your Void Devouring Flame Origin as well."

Lin Ran sneered and waved his palm. The vast crimson-gold thunderfire, which was a fusion of the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, suddenly condensed into a fire dragon and shot towards the Void Devouring Flame. Wherever it passed, space collapsed into nothingness.

The forces of black and gold converged in mid-air, coloring the entire sky with the two colors.

The two forces collided and stalemated each other. Then, the black flames that seemed to devour the world were suppressed and swallowed up by the brilliant crimson-gold lightning.

"Damn bastard..."

Void Devouring Flame's expression grew increasingly gloomy. When his Void Devouring Flame clashed with Lin Ran's crimson-gold lightning and fire, it was like a mouse encountering a cat. In the past, only other strange flames would show this feeling when they saw him. How could he have ever been in such a situation today?

"Void Devouring Palm!"

A massive black palm print burst forth from the sky and slammed down towards Lin Ran.

The latter remained completely calm, unleashing a punch that unleashed a terrifying Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame accompanied by dazzling Nine Profound Golden Lightning. A crimson-gold lightning storm formed beneath his fist, roaring out and shattering the giant black palm into pieces.

"Diamond-like Crystal Body!"

With a punch, Lin Ran roared, and his body suddenly expanded to hundreds of feet, bursting forth with dazzling golden light.

Lin Ran took a step forward, just about to make a move, when black flames descended upon him.

An immense suction force surged forth, as if it wanted to drain all the fighting spirit from his body.

"Your power to devour is useless against me!"

A vast and domineering pure yang battle qi, accompanied by the power of thunder and fire, burst forth from Lin Ran's body, directly shattering the black flames that enveloped him. Then, he slapped a palm towards the Void Devouring Flame.

"Great Sun Annihilation Palm!"

Upon seeing Lin Ran's offensive, even the Void Devouring Flame couldn't help but change color. It could only forcefully activate its black flames to resist, while spitting out a mouthful of black blood that landed on the Void Shield.

"boom!"

The terrifying Great Sun Annihilation Palm slammed fiercely into the massive black flame shield, causing enormous energy ripples to spread outwards, shattering the space within a thousand feet into patches of pitch-black nothingness.

With a single palm strike, much of the black flame dissipated, but it managed to defend against Lin Ran's attack.

But Lin Ran wouldn't let it go.

You blocked the first blow, but what about the second and the third?!

"Great Sun Annihilation Palm!"

"Great Sun Annihilation Palm!"

"Big day!!"

"The Palm of Annihilation!!!"

At this moment, the vast battle qi of the Nine-Star Battle Saint and the formidable power of the Pure Yang Saint Body were fully unleashed. The magnificent Great Sun Annihilation Palm, containing the meaning of annihilation, was continuously unleashed by Lin Ran, and each move landed on the black flame shield condensed by the Void Devouring Flame.

Faced with such a barrage, even the defense of the Void Devouring Flame could not withstand much.

With a single palm strike, the Shield of Nothingness dissipated significantly.

As the two palms struck, the Void Shield shattered with a loud bang.

Lin Ran unleashed three powerful palm strikes, but instead of landing on Void Devouring Flame, he suddenly turned around and slammed his attack into the space behind him.

"Bang!"

Space rippled as a pitch-black hand emerged from within, unleashing a strange wave that swept down, creating endless ripples of energy.

Lin Ran's Great Sun Annihilation Palm collided with the palm print. The next moment, Lin Ran's body was thrown back more than ten steps before he regained his footing.

A sweet, metallic taste surged up in my throat!

In just a moment, the injury was completely healed by Lin Ran, but the expression in Lin Ran's eyes was extremely solemn.

Who else could be capable of injuring Lin Ran, a nine-star Dou Sheng, with a single palm strike, besides Soul Emperor, a late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng?

Of course, Lin Ran was not an ant that Soul Emperor could crush at this moment. After blocking Soul Emperor's attack, Lin Ran let out a low shout, and the Nine Profound Golden Lightning and the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame in his palm instantly condensed, turning into a stream of crimson gold light, which roared towards that space.

"snort!"

A cold shout suddenly came from that space, and the next moment, the figure of the Soul Emperor emerged from it, his face gloomy and cold.

As Soul Emperor appeared, Gu Yuan also revealed himself, coldly gazing at Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame.

The Soul Emperor's strength exceeded his expectations. Despite their ongoing battle, he had not been able to gain the slightest advantage over the Soul Emperor, which truly alarmed Gu Yuan.

In this situation, if the Soul Emperor had the Void Devouring Flame to assist him, Gu Yuan would truly have suffered a crushing defeat today.

Fortunately, he has Lin Ran, a good son-in-law!

"Soul Emperor, our battle is far from over!"

Gu Yuan raised his head, took a step, and with a ripple in the space, he appeared in front of the Soul Emperor.

The tides of heaven and earth surged and moved, eventually transforming into a gigantic tidal hand that slammed down fiercely on the Soul Emperor.

"boom!"

Faced with Gu Yuan's attack, Soul Emperor's face was gloomy. He threw a punch that shattered the void and forcefully blocked Gu Yuan's palm strike.

The two were filled with fighting spirit and clashed once again.

Lin Ran also revealed a bloodthirsty smile as he looked at the Void Devouring Flame.

"You don't actually believe that the Soul Emperor can save you every single time, do you?!"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

With a furious roar, Void Devouring Flame unleashed countless black flames from its body, generating an endless suction force.

The next moment, some Soul Clan Battle Saints who were fighting against the four races and the Holy Sect's experts below suddenly froze, and black flames suddenly burst forth from their bodies.

Black flames surged wildly, completely engulfing the figures of those people. Then, the entire black flame transformed into a jet-black stream of light, shooting straight into the sky and merging into the Void Devouring Flame.

One, two, three.

In just a short while, nearly ten Soul Clan Battle Saints had disappeared into the black flames.

This situation left the Soul Clan experts below, as well as the members of the four Holy Sects, somewhat bewildered, and then filled with fear.

"That Void Devouring Flame fellow really wasn't so kind, casually spreading his sub-flames to supply the Soul Clan powerhouses." Yan Jin, who had an exceptional understanding of strange flames, sneered, seeing through the trick: "These guys using the Void Devouring Flame's sub-flames can, although, use the power of the Void Devouring Flame's sub-flames to enhance their own combat strength."

"But while they were using the sub-fire, it was also eroding their physical bodies. Judging from their current state, their bodies, minds, and souls have long been devoured by the Void Devouring Flame sub-fire."

"In this situation, with just a thought from Void Devouring Flame, these people become mobile energy reservoirs!"

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

Such ruthless methods are truly typical of Void Devouring Flame. Moreover, judging from the identities of the powerful figures on the Soul Clan's side, they are clearly unaware of this matter.

"There are no free lunches in life, only traps!"

Yao Chen sneered, looking up at the sky: "It seems that even the Void Devouring Flame feels immense pressure from the Sect Master's power, otherwise it wouldn't have used such a trump card."

If the method of devouring a Battle Saint is exposed, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of Void Devouring Flame.

It might even pull the Void Devouring Flame down from the Soul Clan's special and supreme altar, thus enraging the Soul Emperor.

However, the fact that Void Devouring Flame is using this move in full view of everyone shows the pressure Lin Ran is putting on him.

"Lin Ran is really capable..." Yao Dan took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, let's work harder! Today we must raze this Burial Sky Mountain Range and annihilate the Soul Clan!"

"The Soul Exterminator Clan! The Soul Exterminator Clan!"

"Kill them all!!"

The morale of the powerful figures from the four races and the Holy Sect soared, and they surged towards the Soul Race once again.

On the other hand, on the Soul Clan's side, countless powerful individuals fell silent, especially those with sub-fire within their bodies, who felt their hands and feet grow cold and their fighting spirit waned...

"Interesting. By devouring Soul Clan elders like this, do you really think your Soul Clan can still be a match for the four clans and my Holy Sect?!"

Looking at the surging aura of the Void Devouring Flame before him, Lin Ran sneered several times: "I wonder if the Soul Emperor, knowing what you've done, will be so enraged that he'll just slap you to death!"

"As long as I get rid of you, all the sacrifices will be worthwhile!"

The roar of the Void Devouring Flame echoed across the sky. As nearly ten black flames merged into his body, his aura surged continuously, even reaching the level of a mid-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

Black flames blotted out the sky, and a face devouring the flames emerged from the black fire, accompanied by a low roar filled with violence and killing intent.

"Go to hell, Lin Ran!"

The endless black flames transformed into a blazing black flame dragon, its ferocious maw opening wide. Its seemingly enormous body, large enough to blot out the sky, unleashed unparalleled terrifying speed, instantly hurtling towards Lin Ran.

"Well done!"

Lin Ran took a deep breath, and his fighting spirit surged wildly within him. A violent aura that made everyone pale instantly, almost destructive, suddenly swept out from his body like a storm!

While the Void Devouring Flame was consuming the cultivation levels of those Soul Clan Battle Saints, he naturally wasn't idle either.

In the original novel, when Xiao Yan was dealing with the Northern Dragon King, he maximized the power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, merging it with himself to unleash the Destruction Flame Body.

Destruction Fire Body: A method that releases the energy of a different kind of fire to its extreme and then merges with it.

This requires near-perfect, almost limitless control over the strange fire. However, because the strange fire is too fierce, even if it has been refined, the human body is still relatively fragile, and no one dares to easily use the strange fire to change their physique.

But Lin Ran is different.

The Pure World Sacred Heart Flame was originally part of Lin Ran's Pure Yang Sacred Body. The power transformation between the two did not require any risk whatsoever. The reason it had been brewing for so long was because Lin Ran was also integrating the Nine Profound Golden Thunder within his body into it!

Saintly Golden Thunder Flame Body!

Suddenly, a terrifying aura swept across the sky, causing countless powerful warriors engaged in fierce battle below to show expressions of shock. Astonished gazes shot towards the sky, landing on Lin Ran, who exuded a magnificent aura.

"What a terrifying aura... This power is probably already at the mid-stage of a nine-star Dou Sheng!"

Yan Jin looked at Lin Ran with envy. He also had a secret technique to improve his cultivation, but at their level, that technique was basically useless.

But Lin Ran was different. In an instant, his cultivation level skyrocketed from the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng to the middle stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng. This kind of improvement in cultivation was simply like a miracle!

"That's... Nine Profound Golden Thunder?!"

Lei Ying also noticed the golden lightning coiled around Lin Ran, and his pupils contracted, emitting a near-inaudible gasp.

He has used Black Demon Lightning as his fighting technique and weapon for many years, and his greatest obsession is to subdue a Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

However, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder is comparable to the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, and is extremely difficult to find. In addition, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill has not appeared for thousands of years, which has led to Lei Ying having no choice but to keep this wishful thinking in his heart.

Unexpectedly, there was actually a Nine Profound Golden Thunder inside Lin Ran's body.

"This kid's luck is truly unmatched..."

"You bluffing brat! So what if you possess the Nine Profound Golden Thunder? Today, I will surely kill you!"

Upon seeing Lin Ran's change, the Void Devouring Flame's pupils contracted, and it immediately roared angrily.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Void Devouring Flame condensed into black flames, and the black dragon roared as it raged towards Lin Ran.

"Void Flame Devours the Heavens!"

"roar!"

The black dragon roared in, and Lin Ran's eyes slowly opened. As Lin Ran opened his eyes, his aura also rose to its peak.

Mid-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

"This power..."

Lin Ran let out a soft breath. If he could completely fuse the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder after this battle, his cultivation level would probably rise a little more.

But for now, that's enough!

Lin Ran slowly raised his head, looking at the black light that was rapidly enlarging in his pupils, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He didn't adopt any defensive stance. Instead, amidst the horrified gazes of many, he transformed into a dazzling golden meteor and charged head-on into the roaring black dragon!

"laugh!"

The two collided in an instant, and their terrifying energy was about to burst forth.

The terrifying scene even drew the attention of those engaged in fierce combat below, who involuntarily turned their gazes in the direction of the attackers, watching with bated breath...
