Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 336 Origin Qi!

A massive array, obscuring the sky and the sun, erupted from the magnificent ancient statue of Tuoshe Emperor, like the sun descending upon the world, enveloping the entire space.

Under such a grand formation, even Lin Ran and his group were like ants, utterly powerless to resist.

This is a Dou Di level formation. Even if the one manipulating it is not Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, but Di Dan, this formation is still far beyond the ordinary and terrifying!

"The power of this grand formation..."

Zhu Kun stared around in disbelief, then snapped back to reality and hurriedly looked toward the endless fog in the distance, the direction they had come from.

His gaze immediately fell on Zi Yan, who had come with them, and he shouted loudly.

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

The power of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is beyond question; a small formation once trapped him for a thousand years.

Although this grand formation is now activated by a low-grade Emperor-level Core Formation, its power is still not to be underestimated.

He can suffer hardship and distress, but not his precious daughter Ziyan!

Lin Ran's gaze also fell on Zi Yan. He transmitted his voice in a deep voice. Zi Yan's eyes flickered. She knew that if she and the others stayed here, they would only be a hindrance to Lin Ran. She led the Taixu Ancient Dragon Elders and retreated rapidly, rushing back in the direction they came from.

"Trying to run? You little insects will all become my food too!"

However, just as Zi Yan and the others were leaving quickly, the Emperor-grade embryonic core, which was high in the sky, laughed wildly.

With a gentle tap of his finger in the direction where Zi Yan and the others were, a beam of light shot out from the great array below, landing in the direction where Zi Yan and the others had sped away, like a wall descending from the sky, completely blocking them.

The ancient dragons of the Void looked at the sealed space with grim expressions.

Even the ancient dragons of the Void, who are capable of traversing space, cannot overcome the restrictions of this great formation.

It seems they intend to leave no one behind among these Emperor-grade embryonic pills!

"What should we do?"

Zhu Kun looked somewhat flustered.

"This ancient emperor's cave is the cave of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator has been in this cave for who knows how long, and must know it very well. The great formation he constructed... we should only be able to try it together." Gu Yuan said with a grim expression.

"Lin Ran, Zi Yan absolutely cannot get hurt!" Zhu Kun said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, Uncle. This Emperor Pill will have to break a few of my teeth first if it wants to devour us!" Lin Ran sneered, then turned his gaze to the Soul Emperor and said in a deep voice, "What do you think? Now that he controls such a large formation, even you are far from being his match."

"This great formation is divided into Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols. The four of us can each destroy one symbol, which will surely be able to stop this Emperor Pill."

"Interesting, you actually took the initiative to ask me for help."

The Soul Emperor smiled calmly, holding the Ancient Emperor Jade of Tuoshe, and snorted lightly, "Very well, then I will break through this Lesser Yang!"

"good!"

"Uncle Gu Yuan, Uncle Zhu Kun, let's make a move together!" Lin Ran turned his head and called out to the two men.

"Um!"

At times like these, there isn't much time to think.

The great formation was activated, sealing off the entire space with the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. If they did not join forces to fight the enemy, not only would Zi Yan and the others be in danger, but they themselves would also be refined by the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and become nourishment for the Emperor-grade embryonic pill to break through to the Dou Di realm.

"You overestimate yourselves. This great formation was created by that guy. You think you can break it with your abilities?"

Seeing Lin Ran and the others' actions, the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator sneered, his eyes surging with killing intent. Too lazy to say anything more, he changed his hand seals, and the great array that covered the world burst forth with brilliant light. Endless terrifying flames descended from the sky, as if heavenly fire was falling and burning the world to ashes.

As the great formation activated, the energy in this world suddenly became extremely violent.

Everyone present could feel the temperature around them rising rapidly. Several Taixu Ancient Dragon Elders, who were at the level of five or six-star Dou Sheng, actually felt their bodies tremble as they felt such pressure.

"Imperial Pill Transformation! Imperial Flame Furnace!"

The Emperor-grade embryonic core hovered in the sky, surrounded by a vast expanse of dazzling heavenly fire that roared and surged down, pouring into the great formation.

"Bang!"

As soon as the shout fell, the entire world trembled violently. A ring of colorful flames rapidly spread from the edge of the great formation towards the center, finally converging into a hundred-foot-long colorful pillar of light amidst the horrified gazes of many. Within the pillar of light, there was a destructive power.

"Refine!"

A sinister look appeared on the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator's face. He suddenly pointed his finger downwards, and the entire pillar of colorful flames trembled violently before crashing down on Lin Ran and the others!

"Imperial Flame?!"

"How is this possible? Emperor Yan is actually in this ancient Emperor Tuoshe's cave?!"

"Let's attack together!"

Upon witnessing such a fierce and unparalleled attack, even someone as powerful as the Soul Emperor's expression turned extremely solemn in that instant.

With a low shout, a magnificent and terrifying dark red black hole roared out, instantly growing to hundreds of feet in size. An astonishing energy fluctuation, carrying a terrifying power that devoured everything, erupted instantly. Gu Yuanzhukun and the others beside him also solemnly unleashed their powerful battle qi, closely following behind the dark red black hole, heading towards the colorful pillar of light descending from the sky.

Lin Ran stared intently at the pillar of light. He could clearly feel the special nature of the flame and the connection to the holy flame within his own body.

Different flames originate from the same source, and the relationship between the two is like that of blood relatives!

"Imperial Flame..."

Lin Ran took a deep breath, urged his Holy Flame to keep up with the Soul Emperor's offensive, and launched an attack on the Lesser Yin Celestial Phenomenon.

While attacking, he was also carefully sensing the power of this so-called Emperor Flame.

The four peak experts clashed fiercely with the Emperor Pill Transformation Array, and in just a moment, a deafening explosion spread out.

Under such terrifying power fluctuations, the entire Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave was shaken open, creating a massive pit hundreds of thousands of feet deep, with chaotic currents surging within, seemingly about to engulf everything.

"You will all die if you resist to the bitter end!"

In the sky, Teitan's eyes flashed red, and he seemed to be going mad as he slammed his hands down on the ground.

From within that ancient stone statue of the Tuoshe Emperor, a dazzling brilliance burst forth once more, and brilliant colorful flames roared again. The fighting techniques condensed by Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan shattered instantly, while Hun Tiandi and Lin Ran were completely enveloped by the magnificent imperial flames!

Looking down at the great formation and the rapidly spreading imperial flames that stretched for tens of thousands of feet in the distant sky, Emperor Dan couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.

Go to hell, all of you!

Under that guy's flames, everything will melt away.

Today is not only the day he escapes his predicament, but also the day he breaks through to the Dou Di realm and achieves true Emperor Core status!

"Oh, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, I've finally escaped!"

The young Emperor-grade pill was acting like a madman.

He had spent countless years in this dark and sunless cave, and in the past, he had even helped the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and the Void Devouring Flame escape, all for the sake of breaking free.

Now that he was finally free, how could he not be overjoyed?

"Um?"

However, the maniacal laughter did not last long. Di Dan gradually regained his composure, and suddenly lowered his head, looking down at the plaza covered by endless imperial flames with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

He sensed a considerable presence from that spot...

"Still alive? How is that possible?"

He knew that guy's flames all too well; they were Emperor Flames, the real Emperor Flames!

Although this Emperor Flame is a slight remnant left by the ancient Emperor Tuoshe, it is still Emperor Flame. These guys are only at the Dou Sheng level, how can they withstand Emperor Flame?

Colorful flames spread, swirling across the sky before slowly fading away.

As the flames dissipated, a faint halo appeared in Di Dan's sight, and within that halo were Lin Ran and the others.

Although they looked a bit disheveled, they didn't appear to have suffered any serious injuries.

"This is……"

The group looked at each other, clearly confused about what had happened.

"Lin Ran?!"

But the next moment, their gazes all fell on Lin Ran.

At this moment, Lin Ran seemed to be in a coma, but his body was emitting a faint halo of flames.

The holy flame halo slowly condensed on his surface, constantly merging with the colorful flames in the sky, like a dream.

"It actually blocked the Emperor's Flame and even established a connection with it?!"

High above, the voice of the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator was filled with terror, but then that terror transformed into laughter: "Good, good, good! If I can devour you today, I can not only break through to the Dou Di realm, but I can even gather all the flames of the world, just like he did back then!"

"Go to hell!"

"You actually reacted to the Emperor's Flame, huh? You little brat..."

The Soul Emperor's eyes narrowed, then he looked up at the sky: "Although I dislike this brat, I'd rather devour you first than let you devour him!"

Suddenly, the Soul Emperor bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of black blood tinged with black flames, which landed on the ancient jade. At the same time, his hands suddenly transformed into a series of extremely strange hand seals.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun were also taken aback by the sudden action of the Soul Emperor.

Staring at the latter's hand seal, he felt a slight sense of familiarity. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly looked up at the towering ancient emperor statue. At this moment, the hand seals formed by the statue's hands were exactly the same as the Soul Emperor's initial hand seal!

"Buzz!"

As the Soul Emperor's hand seals changed rapidly, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in front of him suddenly began to tremble. Then, a soft radiance rippled outwards, and as the ancient jade trembled, it actually transformed into a halo of dazzling colors!

The aperture displays multiple colors, and within it, it appears as if flames are dancing, creating an extremely mysterious effect.

"The Core Transformation Ring! How could you possibly possess the Core Transformation Divine Technique of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?!"

Upon seeing the halo take shape, the originally cold-faced Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator's expression suddenly changed, and his voice became somewhat stern.

"I hold an ancient jade in my hand, so I am naturally a descendant of an ancient emperor. Is it surprising that I know the Divine Elixir Transformation Technique?"

The Soul Emperor sneered and flicked his hand, sending the dazzling halo flying out.

In a short moment, it appeared above the head of the Emperor-grade nascent pill, and rings of beautiful fire appeared, completely enveloping the Emperor-grade nascent pill's body.

"what!"

As these fiery halos continuously enveloped his body, wisps of white smoke suddenly escaped from the body of the Emperor-grade nascent cultivator, and a shrill scream also suddenly rang out.

Seeing this, Soul Emperor was also pleasantly surprised. He had not expected that the Core Transformation Ring would be so effective against a low-grade Emperor Core. He immediately sprayed a mouthful of black flame containing black blood at the Core Transformation Ring.

The latter flames became much more intense, while the form of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill began to slowly shrink, showing a tendency to transform into a pill.

Seeing that this once arrogant and powerful Emperor-grade embryonic core had become so disheveled in the next instant, everyone was shocked.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions changed, and then a fierce look flashed in their eyes. With a flash, they rushed directly towards the Soul Emperor. Judging from this, the Soul Emperor was able to use the so-called Core Transformation Ring, most likely because of the effect of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!

"snort!"

Seeing the two make their move, the Soul Emperor, who was prepared, let out a cold snort and with a slight movement of his palm, a vast dark red black hole roared out.

"Boom!"

The air surged, forcibly stopping Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, but the next moment, the two charged towards Hun Tiandi with an even more explosive attack.

The alliance collapsed at this moment!

Faced with the combined attack of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, the Soul Emperor was temporarily at a disadvantage because he still had to maintain the Transformation Pill Divine Technique.

He appeared quite disheveled as he moved forward and backward.

However, he understood the situation at the moment, so he gritted his teeth and used all his skills to the fullest extent to desperately block Gu Yuan and the other two.

After a fierce battle, Zhu Kun's eyes also flashed with ferocity. He let out a low roar, and a giant dragon that almost occupied tens of thousands of feet of sky suddenly appeared. Then the dragon transformed into a purple-gold beam of light, which struck the Soul Emperor, who had just exchanged a blow with Gu Yuan, with lightning speed.

"Pfft!"

The dazzling purple-gold beam pierced directly through the powerful battle qi defense on the surface of the Soul Emperor's body.

A mouthful of blood spurted from the Soul Emperor's mouth, and his body flew backward for thousands of feet before he finally managed to regain his footing.

"receive!"

However, as the Soul Emperor retreated rapidly, he suddenly let out a fierce shout. The Emperor-grade embryonic pill was completely powerless to resist and was absorbed into the Pill Transformation Ring, transforming into a dazzling ball of light the size of a human head, which floated in the Pill Transformation Ring.

The Soul Emperor laughed loudly and grabbed the Core Transformation Ring.

Although his hair was disheveled, his face was filled with ecstatic joy.

He looked at Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, and then at Lin Ran, who had his eyes closed as if he were comprehending something. A domineering look appeared on his face.

"Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and Lin Ran."

"I've said it before, this Emperor Pill is mine, and it will always be mine. Only I can break the shackles, only I can become the first emperor in ten thousand years!"

"And now, I've succeeded!"

The Soul Emperor, clutching the Core Transformation Ring, waved his hand, tearing through space, and then disappeared into the spatial rift.

Upon seeing that the Soul Emperor was able to tear apart the space here, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions changed. With a low roar, the energy tide between heaven and earth surged and finally rushed madly towards the Soul Emperor.

But they've already merged into the spatial turbulence; no matter how you attack, it's all in vain...
