Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 324 Devouring! Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm Soul!

The soul essence of the Heavenly Tomb floated quietly in Lin Ran's palm, like a sun radiating warm light.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and looked up at Xiao Xuan in the sky.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's body was slightly illusory due to the spontaneous combustion of his soul, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

"You should absorb this power first. I wonder if I'll be able to witness the birth of another Emperor-level being before I pass away completely," Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

"Lin Ran will certainly live up to Senior Xiao Xuan's expectations!"

Lin Ran took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and stepped directly into the dazzling halo.

Instantly, the soul essence of the Heavenly Tomb flashed, engulfing Lin Ran's entire body.

"Lin Ran... if only you had been born a thousand years ago..."

Xiao Xuan murmured with emotion and sat cross-legged outside the circle of light.

His indifferent gaze occasionally swept across the ground, and under his gaze, all the energy beings hurriedly looked away and retreated far away.

The soul essence of the Heavenly Tomb's Soul was extremely tempting to them, but under Xiao Xuan's intimidation, no one dared to let it take root and sprout...

The scene changes.

A vast ocean stretching as far as the eye could see came into view.

On the ocean, the waves surged, and faintly, there seemed to be deafening roars emanating from the soul.

Lin Ran's figure hovered in mid-air above the ocean, his gaze fixed on the sea below, a look of deep shock appearing in his eyes.

Although he was fully prepared, the shock he felt when he actually arrived here was still unparalleled.

The halo formed from the soul essence of the Tomb Spirit seemed small, but unexpectedly, it contained a whole different world.

Lin Ran discovered that this ocean was entirely formed from the power of souls!

Such vast and terrifying soul power was something Lin Ran had never seen before in all these years. Compared to this sea of ​​souls, his own soul at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm was like a small witch meeting a great witch.

Without a doubt, no matter how mottled or of low quality the soul of the Heavenly Tomb Soul may be,

With such a terrifying number here, if Xiao Xuan hadn't spontaneously combusted his soul, Lin Ran probably wouldn't have been able to defeat it even if he used all his strength.

Fortunately, Xiao Xuan helped with everything.

"The soul of the Heavenly Tomb has dissipated; the soul power here is now ownerless!"

Lin Ran's throat bobbed involuntarily.

If word of this were to get out, the powerful figures across the entire continent would probably go crazy.

The method of cultivating the soul was lost in ancient times. There are very few people in the entire Dou Qi Continent who can cultivate their souls, and the vast majority of them are alchemists.

Even for alchemists, improving their soul strength is extremely difficult. There are only about a hundred people with Heavenly Realm souls in the entire Dou Qi Continent, and those at the Great Perfection of Heavenly Realm can be counted on one hand!

And as long as they can refine these soul powers, their souls will inevitably reach a terrifying level, attracting countless people to flock to them!

"The passage of time here is different from that in the Heavenly Tomb."

Lin Ran raised his head and looked at this space, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity.

He discovered that the concentration of soul power here was enough to alter the speed of time's passage. In a sense, this place was a Heavenly Tomb shrunk countless times!

However, time probably passes much slower here than in the Heavenly Tomb.

The Tomb of the Heavenly Tomb!

"call!"

Lin Ran let out a long breath and gradually calmed down.

Time moves slower here than in the Heavenly Tomb, which is an advantage for him, giving him ample time to refine this soul energy.

Otherwise, facing such a vast ocean of souls, he would have found it very difficult to refine it all in a short period of time.

But if too much time passes, no one knows when the Soul Emperor will strike again and make a comeback...

With this thought in mind, Lin Ran did not hesitate. He sat cross-legged in mid-air and slowly descended, landing on the sea surface.

The next moment, the soul power between Lin Ran's eyebrows surged out rapidly, and then with a low shout, it transformed into a huge phantom hundreds of feet long. The phantom enveloped Lin Ran and sat cross-legged!

The condensation of the soul and spirit is the mark of the Great Perfection of the Soul Realm!

The magnificent holy golden lightning began to emanate from the huge soul phantom, eventually transforming it into a figure radiating dazzling lightning.

Terrifyingly high temperatures, accompanied by the crackling and booming of thunder, permeated the entire space.

"Boom!"

Just as Lin Ran's illusory soul was enveloped by the Holy Golden Thunder Flame, the sea of ​​souls he was in also roared.

A colossal vortex, thousands of feet in size, formed beneath it. The overwhelming spiritual power seemed to be violently pulled, and the spiritual power surging from the vortex began to continuously impact Lin Ran's enormous spiritual phantom.

"Hiss!"

The vast power of the soul slammed heavily onto the illusory soul, but the moment this power of the soul touched Lin Ran's soul, it would burst into a series of hissing sounds.

The terrifying power of the Holy Golden Thunder Flame can directly shatter all these soul forces, turning them into a dense and pure soul mist.

After the soul power transforms into soul mist, it will cover Lin Ran's enormous soul phantom.

The soul power here is, after all, condensed by the soul of the Heavenly Tomb after absorbing the souls of countless powerful beings. Although it is vast and boundless, it is slightly mottled. Even after being refined by Xiao Xuan, it is still the same. If one were to directly devour and absorb it, it would definitely do more harm than good to the soul.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for Lin Ran, who possessed the Holy Golden Thunder Flame.

Both the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder are among the purest and most domineering powers in the world. The Sacred Golden Thunder Flame, which combines the two, is no exception, and its purifying power is even more terrifying than before!

Although these soul powers were immense, they were nothing to Saint Golden Thunder Flame.

Saint Golden Thunder Flame is particularly skilled at this kind of refining. Almost as soon as it touches something, Saint Golden Thunder Flame's purifying power will temper the soul power integrated into the body to the purest level!

It's definitely a perfect match for my major!

Above the vast ocean, countless streams of soul power, guided by Lin Ran, surged forth from the sea of ​​souls like giant pythons, ultimately pouring onto the soul phantom sitting cross-legged between heaven and earth.

The moment the two come into contact, a dense fog will erupt, obscuring the sky and the sun. At the same time, it will also cause a fluorescent light to gradually flow on the huge phantom.

From afar, the enormous phantom of Lin Ran's soul resembled a divine statue standing between heaven and earth, exuding an unparalleled and vast pressure...

If the world knew about such refining efficiency, they would be stunned. Such an increase in soul strength is almost unheard of and unseen. Perhaps only Lin Ran, who possesses the Holy Golden Thunder Flame, could achieve this.

As Lin Ran continued to refine and devour those soul energies, the entire ocean of souls also churned with monstrous waves over time, rumbling incessantly across this world.

As the crying and refusing to be held continued, the almost whale-like refining and absorption of his soul caused the oppressive aura emanating from it to become increasingly terrifying.

The surging power of the soul is gradually approaching that legendary realm at a measured pace...

at the same time.

Chaotic void, the realm of souls.

With the Soul Emperor's attack on the Void Devouring Flame, and the Void Devouring Flame's dying counterattack, the entire Soul Realm was in extreme turmoil.

The Void Devouring Flame's invasion of the Soul Clan had long been ingrained in their very bones, a fact known to the Soul Emperor, but he never expected the Void Devouring Flame to be able to achieve such a degree.

Among the elders of the Soul Clan, seven or eight out of ten have become the lackeys of the Void Devouring Flame. Countless blood descendants of the Soul Clan, and even millions or nearly ten million descendants, are controlled by the Void Devouring Flame.

After the Void Devouring Flame launched its final counterattack, these members all joined together with the Void Devouring Flame in starting a riot!

Of course, with the Soul Emperor around, the rebellion could not succeed; all that awaited them was bloody suppression!

The Soul Realm is no different from the realms of other ancient races; it is a small world with a blue sky and solid earth.

However, at this moment, the azure sky of the Soul Realm is now shrouded in thick blood clouds.

Sunlight pierced through the blood-red clouds, illuminating the earth but casting a dark, oppressive glow.

The stench of blood permeated every corner of the Soul Realm; what had transpired there was unimaginable…

At the start of the rebellion, those controlled by the Void Devouring Flame did indeed inflict enormous damage on the Soul Clan. After all, no one knew who the enemy was. Friends and family, brothers and comrades who fought side by side and whom you could entrust your back to, could all turn into sharp blades that pierce you.

In order to completely eliminate these threats, the Soul Emperor also fully revealed his ruthlessness and decisiveness.

Without hesitation, he used his vast Emperor-level soul to examine everyone's bodies.

All those who possessed the remnants of the Void Devouring Flame were thrown into the Blood Pool for refining!

At the beginning, faced with the actions of the Soul Emperor, countless elders and senior members of the Soul Clan were extremely terrified, but they also knew that this was something that had to be done.

Of course, the Soul Emperor was not simply killing for the sake of killing. What he wanted to do was to rely on the bloodline power of these blood descendants to accelerate his devouring of the Void Devouring Flame, thereby maximizing his own strength!

Thick, blood-red clouds shrouded the sky above the Soul Realm, and the pungent, nauseating stench of blood permeated the air.

The land was ablaze with crimson blood, the thick, sticky gore turning the Central Plains into a hellish landscape.

The stark white bones floated in the sea of ​​blood, their faint echoes seemingly reverberating through the heavens and earth, sending chills down one's spine.

The sea of ​​blood surged, a vortex emerged from it, and then a huge blood-red lotus slowly rose from the sea of ​​blood.

A figure sat cross-legged atop the blood lotus.

Blood-red hair cascaded down like a waterfall, some even falling into the sea of ​​blood, floating on it like a demon spreading its wings.

The figure slowly opened its tightly closed eyes, and the crimson color that filled them caused waves to surge in this sea of ​​blood. Its immense power was like the arrival of a hellish inferno, unstoppable and unbearable.

Who else could this person be but the Soul Emperor?

"Chieftain."

The moment the Soul Emperor opened his eyes, the space behind him distorted, and then an old figure emerged from it.

"Congratulations, Clan Chief, on successfully refining the Void Devouring Flame! Your divine skill has reached its pinnacle, granting you unparalleled glory and making you the First Emperor of All Time!"

Upon seeing the Soul Emperor whose hair had turned blood red, the aged figure bowed down and shouted to the Soul Emperor.

The Soul Emperor's blood-red eyes flickered, the blood lotus turned, and he looked at the old man behind him, shaking his head.

"Elder, you jest. Although I have made some breakthroughs, I have not yet broken through to the Dou Di level. The title of the First Emperor of All Ages is not something I can accept."

"Hasn't he broken through to the Dou Di realm?"

Hun Shengtian was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Clan leader, you refined the Void Devouring Flame and devoured an Emperor-level soul, yet you still can't break through to Dou Di? This is impossible. Even our ancestors would have almost broken through by now."

"Indeed, according to the clan records, the energy expended by our ancestor when breaking through to the Dou Di realm was comparable to mine. But unfortunately, I have not yet broken through to the Dou Di realm." Soul Emperor shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes.

He slowly raised his hand, and terrifying crimson energy gathered in his palm, eventually turning into blood and merging into the sea of ​​blood below.

"It seems that without Origin Qi, even the largest amount of energy is ultimately useless. If I want to break through to the Dou Di realm, that Emperor Pill is indispensable!"

"However, with my current strength, defeating Gu Yuan and Lin Ran should be a piece of cake."

Although his current cultivation level has not broken through to the true Dou Di level, it is infinitely close to the Dou Di level. If we had to name a level, it would be 'Half-Emperor'!

The so-called half-emperor is someone who has broken through to the peak of Dou Sheng and is about to step into Dou Di, but is unable to break through due to a lack of source energy.

In the history of Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Xuan, who once devoured the bloodline power of his entire clan, and Huang Quan Demon Saint, who was on good terms with the Nine Netherworld Python, were both beings at this level!

"Chieftain, are you preparing...?"

"Ah, it's time to get those two ancient jade pieces back."

The Soul Emperor slowly rose from the blood lotus, and an aura that seemed to be above heaven and earth suddenly surged out from his body. Instantly, the boundless sea of ​​blood was filled with turbulent waves, and at the same time, the terrifying power spread throughout the entire Soul Realm!

All the members of the Soul Clan looked up, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at the blood-red sky, and a voice emanated from there.

"The entire clan is preparing."

"Three days later, we will launch a counterattack on the Dou Qi Continent!"
