Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 319 Escape!

In the void of the sea of ​​lightning, Lin Ran spent more than a month completely devouring the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, and his strength broke through to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Lin Ran also intended not to let go of the lightning bolts in the void sea of ​​lightning.

Time was of the essence, so Lin Ran had no choice but to join the battle. However, after absorbing the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, he unexpectedly developed a strange connection with the countless lightning bolts in the entire Void Lightning Sea.

And at this moment, this inexplicable connection comes into play.

"Supreme Thunder of Ten Thousand Lightnings, Nine Profound Golden Thunders, Holy Flames Purifying the World, who can contend with it!"

"Ray is coming!"

With Lin Ran's thunderous roar, countless black demonic lightning bolts in the void lightning pool seemed to be activated, surging out and continuously merging into Lin Ran's body.

The Holy Golden Thunder roared out, enveloping Lin Ran's figure and transforming the countless incoming Black Demon Lightning into the purest thunder energy, which was then applied to Lin Ran's body.

Lin Ran's cultivation level surged again under the blessing of countless black demonic lightning bolts, and his aura even began to gradually overshadow the Void Devouring Flame.

A body imbued with ten thousand thunderbolts!

"What an incredible adventure! Could it be that he has subdued all the Black Demon Lightning in the world?!" Yao Dan was dumbfounded. This situation completely shattered the worldview of this ancient clan leader.

"It's because of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder."

Lei Ying sighed, "The Nine Profound Golden Thunder is the king of all thunder. As the saying goes, when a different kind of fire appears, all other fires submit. This principle also applies to thunder."

"If Lin Ran subdues the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, he can use the power of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning to control and devour these Black Demon Lightnings, thereby strengthening himself... However, this method will also cause considerable damage to himself."

Forcibly using external forces to enhance one's strength will inevitably have an impact on oneself, just like the Void Devouring Flame, and Lin Ran is the same at this moment.

To see who has the stronger constitution and the better foundation, we need to look at who has the better physical condition and the better foundation.

"Body of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts..."

The look in Void Devouring Flame's eyes also darkened; he never expected Lin Ran to have this trick up his sleeve.

He subconsciously wanted to devour more Soul Clan experts to strengthen himself, but there wasn't even a single living creature left in the Burial Sky Mountain Range below. Where could he go to devour them?

"Very well, today I'll see whether it's you who dies or I who perish!" Void Devouring Flame roared, and endless black flames swept across the heavens and earth with overwhelming power.

The power of the Void Devouring Flame in the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng has long reached the level of one of the strongest in a thousand years.

Of course, Lin Ran was the same.

"Go to hell, Lin Ran!"

The void devoured the flames, black flames surged forth, and its face was ferocious and terrifying.

As soon as he finished speaking, he traversed the void and appeared directly in front of Lin Ran. Endless black flames transformed into a giant palm, which, under the gaze of countless eyes, slammed towards Lin Ran.

The black flames contained endless devouring power, but this devouring power did not devour Lin Ran at this moment. Instead, it contained a repulsive force, as if it wanted to crush the whole world!

Looking at the Void Devouring Flame unleashed at full power, Lin Ran took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn.

His body crackled with lightning, showing no fear in the face of the approaching Void Devouring Flame. Endless flames covered his palms, and with a single step, his figure transformed into a streak of lightning, tearing through space and colliding fiercely with the Void Devouring Flame with boundless and terrifying power.

"boom!!"

A terrifying storm swept wildly across the sky. Under the impact of this energy clash, the Burial Sky Mountain Range, which was already a sinkhole during the battle between the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan, continued to collapse and shatter.

The earth was torn apart, the mountains were destroyed, and almost everything around the Burial Sky Mountains was instantly crushed into dust by the terrifying aftershocks!

The two figures engaged in an unparalleled battle in mid-air, shaking the world.

A late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and he actually possesses such strength?!

"Who do you think will win this battle?" Yan Jin's eyes were bright as he stared intently at the battle that seemed to be shattering the entire world.

"It's hard to say."

Lei Ying shook his head: "You and I both know the strength of a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng. Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi have been fighting for over a thousand years and still haven't reached a conclusion. If they are both true late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, this battle will probably really go on until the world is dark."

"However, none of them are true late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng; they all forcibly reached that level using amplification techniques. In other words, what they're competing for now is endurance and accumulated experience!"

Upon hearing this, the people around him all nodded in agreement.

But Yao Dan's expression was solemn.

In the battle of the Medicine Realm, he used a massive amount of pills, along with the combined strength of Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and Lin Ran, to finally defeat the Void Devouring Flame. As the master of the formation, he also clearly felt the Void Devouring Flame's ability to devour everything.

This guy can directly devour the opponent's fighting spirit for his own use. Even if Lin Ran has the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, which can resist this devouring power, the energy that overflows from the battle between the two sides will still be absorbed by the Void Devouring Flame.

With the balance of power shifting, it's really hard to say who will win the battle between the two sides.

Furthermore, Void Devouring Flame is a veteran powerhouse with the accumulated experience of a thousand-year-old Battle Saint.

Although both are now at the late stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, the difference in experience is insurmountable, so...

"How is this possible! How is this possible! How is this possible!"

The more Void Devouring Flame fought, the more alarmed and bewildered he became.

When both sides are roughly equal in strength, the best way to fight is to use combat experience and skills to find the opponent's weaknesses.

This is what Void Devouring Flame thought, and this is what he did. With thousands of years of accumulation, how could he possibly be no match for a human boy in his twenties or thirties?!

If Lin Ran knew what Void Devouring Flame was thinking, he would probably laugh his head off.

Indeed, he was just a human boy in his twenties or thirties, but within the Bodhi Tree, he was an existence who had experienced a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation within the Bodhi Tree!

We're all old foxes, who's afraid of whom!

The battle between the two intensified until a terrifying, earth-shattering collision and the resulting energy explosion brought the situation to a slight calm.

An enormous crater appeared at the bottom of the Burial Sky Mountain Range. Both Void Devouring Flame and Lin Ran were somewhat disheveled; their auras were no longer at the late stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, but had even fallen below Nine-Star Dou Sheng, becoming Eight-Star Dou Sheng. (Temporary)

A feeling of weakness washed over them, a feeling that was undoubtedly new to both of them.

The Void Devouring Flame consumes everything, while the Pure Yang Holy Body is inexhaustible. At this moment, one person has nothing to devour, and the other cannot recover from the loss. However, it seems that overall, the latter is stronger than the former.

"Why have you stopped shouting, huh?"

Lin Ran threw a punch, and a vast thunderous flame roared down. The Void Devouring Flame forcibly activated its black flames, trying to devour it and make it its own. However, the Holy Golden Thunder Flame burst forth from within, completely blocking the devouring power.

With one strike, the momentum of the Void Devouring Flame weakened by another three points!

In contrast, Lin Ran...

Although it consumes a great deal of energy, the Pure Yang Holy Body is still the Pure Yang Holy Body. As the physique that once dominated the world under the Pure Yang Ancient Emperor, its terrifying physique of endless vitality is enough to make it rank among the top among all the domineering physiques.

Furthermore, Lin Ran possesses the body of a dragon and a phoenix, and the combination of these two attributes elevates Lin Ran's self-healing ability to its extreme.

One strike!

One more blow!

The Void Devouring Flame's form shattered, its black flames scattered, and its aura plummeted once more!

"Damn it! How could I possibly fall here? How could I possibly...?"

Void Devouring Flame tried its best to resist, but the gap between the two continued to widen.

In fact, if it were Gu Yuan, the Void Devouring Flame wouldn't have suffered such a miserable fate. The most important reason is that Lin Ran's Saint Golden Thunder Flame was too much of a counter to the Void Devouring Flame.

The saying "a higher rank can crush a lower one" holds true, especially in the world of rare treasures. When the Void Devouring Flame lost its devouring power, it lost its most powerful spear and shield.

"I'm very curious, if I were to devour your Void Devouring Flame, to what extent would I grow?"

"All Saints Thunder Flame Palm!"

All the surging battle energy gathered at this moment, and Lin Ran roared angrily as he charged forward with a killing intent!

In an instant, the world changed color.

Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and other onlookers in the distance were also trembling with shock at this moment, and they also realized that this war was really coming to an end.

"Lin Ran!!!!"

A voice filled with anger mixed with despair emanated from the mouth of Void Devouring Flame. The already extremely weak Void Devouring Flame was desperately squeezing out all the power in its body to condense a barrier of black flames.

"boom!!"

Lin Ran's attack arrived in an instant. The barrier of the Void Devouring Flame was unable to stop Lin Ran's attack at all. In just a moment, the Void Devouring Flame suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and its aura plummeted again.

Amidst the despair in Void Devouring Flame's eyes, Lin Ran unleashed another palm strike.

However, just as the palm was about to land, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared. His face was gloomy, and he ripped open a massive spatial rift tens of thousands of feet wide with his palms, swallowing Lin Ran's attack whole...

"Soul Emperor!"

Lin Ran's expression darkened, and a sense of displeasure rose in his heart.

It wasn't directed at the Soul Emperor, but at Gu Yuan.

Previously, when he was fighting against the Void Devouring Flame, the Soul Emperor was already able to come out and mess with him. Now that he is fighting to the death with the Void Devouring Flame, can the Soul Emperor still come to the rescue?

My dear father-in-law, what the hell are you doing?!

When the Soul Emperor appeared, the space around Lin Ran also rippled, and Gu Yuan emerged.

At this moment, Gu Yuan's long hair was disheveled, and his aura was obviously fluctuating, probably because he had fallen into a disadvantageous position in his battle with the Soul Emperor.

"What a Lin Ran!"

The Soul Emperor glanced at the Void Devouring Flame, then waved his hand and absorbed it into his body.

His once calm and composed face was now filled with a chilling killing intent.

If it weren't for Lin Ran, not only would the four-clan alliance and the Holy Sect have been defeated today, but he would also have been able to obtain the ancient jade in Gu Yuan's hands.

It's all because of Lin Ran!

"Gu Yuan, you've gotten lucky this time, but you're still a long way from taking back the Ancient Jade from me and destroying my Soul Clan!"

The Soul Emperor looked at Lin Ran, then turned his gaze to Gu Yuan, a sinister sneer spreading across his face.

The next moment, an immense battle aura suddenly erupted from his body, and the next moment, four slightly damaged and silent gates emerged from the black hole, standing behind the Soul Emperor.

"break!"

With a low shout, under the gazes of Lin Ran and Gu Yuan, the four deathly gates behind the Soul Emperor shattered with a roar, transforming into boundless death power that directly merged into the black hole behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the Soul Emperor sneered, slowly retreated, and took his last step into the black hole. The black hole trembled and then quickly dissipated.

As the Soul Emperor departed, Lin Ran and Gu Yuan frowned simultaneously.

In that instant, neither of them could sense the existence of the Soul Realm!

"Did you forcibly destroy the spatial anchor of the Soul Realm, causing it to drift in the chaotic void...?" Lin Ran was extremely shocked. The Soul Emperor was indeed worthy of his title. This method perfectly avoided the four races and the Holy Sect Alliance, whose armies were pressing in at the moment. My Soul Realm is just floating in the chaotic void. If you have the guts, come and find me!

The chaotic void is different from the ordinary void. The ordinary void only has spatial turbulence. Not to mention creatures like the Ancient Void Dragon, anyone who reaches the strength of a Dou Zun can roam freely in it.

But the chaotic void is different.

That was a truly chaotic void beyond this small world; even a Dou Sheng powerhouse could not stay in the chaotic void for long.

Furthermore, the chaotic void also contains great evil, great fear, and great danger. If you were to collide with it, you would be severely injured even if you didn't die!

The Soul Emperor really had the guts to make the Soul Realm drift in the chaotic void!

"Damn it, they still got away!"

Lei Ying and the others arrived late, gazing at the spot where the black hole had disappeared, their faces filled with resentment as they gritted their teeth.

Lin Ran's defeat of the Void Devouring Flame was the best opportunity to annihilate the Soul Clan, but unexpectedly, even after fighting to this extent, they still failed to leave the Soul Clan alive.

"The power displayed by the Soul Clan this time far exceeds our previous understanding. Although they suffered heavy losses in this war, their foundation and strength remain intact. It seems they have returned to the mountains like tigers returning to the forest..."

Yan Jin's expression was solemn.

Today, the four races have united, along with the Holy Sect and the three great demon beast families, to fight against the Soul Race.

If Lin Ran hadn't intervened in time, they would have been suppressed by the Soul Clan!

"The Soul Clan has been hiding their true strength for so many years." Gu Yuan, with his long hair flowing down his back, looked somewhat dazed. After a long while, he let out a soft sigh and looked at Lin Ran: "I'm sorry, if I hadn't held you back, you would have already killed the Void Devouring Flame."

"Uncle, you flatter me. If it weren't for you holding off the Soul Emperor, how could I have fought the Void Devouring Flame to this extent?" Lin Ran shook his head, still wanting to say nice things to his father-in-law. "However, since the Soul Clan has now fled into the chaotic void, they will surely sweep in again one day. We cannot let our guard down."

"In my opinion, the alliance between the Holy Sect and the four races must not be broken!"
