Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 342 Invincible Under Heaven! An Enemy from the Sky?!

In the original story, Xiao Yan, relying on the title of Yan Emperor, commanded all the flames in the world and condensed the Strange Flame Heng Gu Ruler. Lin Ran at this moment is also able to do the same.

A majestic and awe-inspiring voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and as the shout fell, a loud explosion suddenly came from a deep mountain hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Central Plains.

Immediately afterwards, a deep yellow flame shot out, and finally streaked across the sky like a meteor, traversing space, and in a short moment appeared above Zhongzhou, arriving beside Lin Ran, quietly burning.

Seeing the deep yellow flames that appeared directly, everyone present was stunned. The Soul Emperor frowned and felt a sense of foreboding.

The deep yellow Xuanhuang Flame quietly burned around Lin Ran. Although it was a wild and strange flame that no one had tamed, it was extremely obedient in front of Lin Ran at this moment.

Seeing this, Lin Ran's lips curled up, and he shouted again.

"Ranking of Strange Flames, number twenty-second: Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, return to your rightful place!"

Its sound faded.

Xiao Yan, who was far away in the Northwest Continent, was refining pills with the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire in a mountain range when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, which had been under his control just moments before, now completely disobeyed his commands and began to rampage wildly. In an instant, the pill he was refining was completely destroyed.

"Why did the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire suddenly erupt?" Xiao Yan tried his best to activate his soul power and the power of the Burning Technique to suppress the suddenly raging strange fire, but no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was still violent.

Not only that, Xiao Yan was horrified to discover that the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire within his body was rapidly slipping out of his control, and even the primal power that he had refined was leaving his body.

"Holy crap, what's going on?!"

Xiao Yan's aura plummeted, and his face was full of confusion.

He had already refined this strange fire, and it had been with him for decades, so how could it suddenly...?

The next moment, the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire that was suspended in mid-air suddenly shot towards the distant sky, leaving Xiao Yan, who was spitting blood, sitting in front of a furnace of burnt pills.

"How could this happen...?"

Xiao Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, quickly sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his condition.

The strange fire's sudden escape was truly beyond Xiao Yan's expectations. He seemed to have only heard a faint sound before the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire broke free from his control, completely unstoppable and unrestrained, and flew towards the southeast.

"That place must be the legendary Central Plains... What happened...?"

Xiao Yan gazed into the distance. The Northwest Continent was extremely far from the Central State. Even a Dou Zong expert like him would need to rely on a spatial passage to reach it, and it would take him a month or two.

But at this moment, the war between the Soul Emperor and Lin Ran almost shattered the Heavenly Domain of the Central State. Even in the distant Northwest Continent, one could feel the extraordinary situation thousands of miles away.

"Damn it, without the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, all I have left is the Bone Spirit Cold Fire left by my teacher. How am I supposed to improve my Burning Technique?!" Xiao Yan cried, clutching his head in despair.

He still couldn't understand why the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, which he had already refined, suddenly broke free from his control and left him.

"Wait, this feeling..."

Suddenly, Xiao Yan, who was burying his face in his hands and crying, changed his expression again. The next moment, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his body also began to tremble and suddenly broke free from his control.

"Holy crap! My Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"

……

"Ranking of Strange Flames: Twenty-first, Yin-Yang Twin Flames, returns to its rightful place!"

Looking at the myriad beast spirit fire burning before him, Lin Ran's voice rang out again.

The next moment, within the ancient clan's territory, in the Heavenly Tomb, two flames, one black and one white, intertwined and burst through the air.

It was the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, ranked twenty-first on the Strange Flame Ranking.

This strange fire was born in the void of the universe. The two colors of flame, one black and one white, were intertwined, swimming like yin and yang fish.

Yin and Yang are the laws of nature, the origin that gives birth to all things in the world. The Yin and Yang Twin Flames, born from this origin, are one of the flame forms that the origin manifests, full of the dual power of life and death.

Yang fire saves lives, giving life endlessly; Yin fire kills, leaving no trace of the body!

This strange flame was originally Xiao Xuan's flame. After Xiao Xuan's death, it was hidden in the Heavenly Tomb. Now that Lin Ran has summoned it, it naturally appears from the Heavenly Tomb.

"The Ranking of Strange Flames..."

"Nineteenth on the Ranking of Strange Flames, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, returns to its rightful place!"

A pale blue flame erupted from Lin Ran's body, coiling around him and burning quietly.

"..."

Countless people stared in disbelief at this spectacular scene. Each time Lin Ran uttered a sound, a strange flame would appear.

What surprised everyone even more was that six or seven out of ten of those strange flames were actually inside Lin Ran's own body. In other words, Lin Ran alone had devoured more than a dozen different kinds of strange flames, which shocked everyone, but also made them extremely excited.

That feeling of supreme authority, where all things under heaven obey my command, truly inspires unparalleled respect and envy.

"Seventh on the Ranking of Strange Flames, the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame, returns to its rightful place!"

In the sky, Lin Ran shouted again, and Yan Jin's body below suddenly trembled. Golden flames burst out of his body uncontrollably and hovered around Lin Ran.

This scene shocked countless people.

Even though it was a strange fire with an owner, Lin Ran was able to summon it. Such power was truly like that of a domineering emperor who reigns over the world!

As one strange flame after another emerged, the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and the third-ranked Purifying Lotus Demon Flame both emerged from Lin Ran's body, making the Soul Emperor, who was holding the Emperor-Slaying Blade in the distance, feel increasingly uneasy.

The next moment, Lin Ran suddenly looked at the Soul Emperor, his holy flames blazing brightly in his hand, and coldly shouted, "Void Devouring Flame, it's time to return to your place!"

As soon as the shout fell, the Soul Emperor's body trembled violently, and the Void Devouring Flame that he had devoured and refined actually showed signs of revival!

"You bastard!"

The Soul Emperor was immediately filled with fear and hurriedly resisted Lin Ran's summoning power.

"Useless Soul Emperor, unless your cultivation level is far higher than mine, no matter how well you refine this Void Devouring Flame, even if you completely devour it, it will be useless."

"Emperor Flame, Emperor Flame, is originally a flame emperor formed by gathering all the flames in the world, possessing the ability to command all the flames in the world, and as the successor of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, I naturally also possess this power."

Sensing the fluctuations emanating from the Soul Emperor's body, Lin Ran smiled calmly, his voice echoing throughout the heavens and earth: "Void Devouring Flame, if you don't act now, when will you?!"

"Bang!"

As soon as Lin Ran shouted, the Soul Emperor's body trembled violently, and a black flame burst out of his body, finally rushing to Lin Ran's side and swirling around.

Within the black flames, a figure rolled about, which was none other than the Void Devouring Flame!

"Soul Emperor, you only broke through to Dou Di by devouring me and consuming an Emperor Pill. Now that I'm gone, can you still maintain your Dou Di cultivation level?!"

The Void Devouring Flame appeared, its eyes glaring menacingly at the Soul Emperor. Then it suddenly turned to look at Lin Ran, and saw the colorful flames burning above Lin Ran's head.

The Void Devouring Flame's fierce gaze became peculiar and complex, containing anger, fear, helplessness, and compromise.

"Lin Ran... I really didn't expect you to be able to do this. Alright, since you've inherited that guy's legacy and do indeed have the ability to command all the flames in the world, I will obey your command today!"

The Void Devouring Flame laughed loudly with an ugly expression, and then, under the livid gaze of the Soul Emperor, it merged into the black flames and hovered around Lin Ran.

"You bastard..."

The aura of the Soul Emperor began to plummet.

Just as the Void Devouring Flame said, the way the Soul Emperor of this world advanced to the Dou Di realm is different from the original story. In the original story, he hastily devoured the Void Devouring Flame and didn't have time to completely refine it. The reason he was able to break through to the Dou Di realm was because of the power of thousands of blood descendants.

In this world, he reached the half-step Dou Di level by devouring the Void Devouring Flame, and then broke through to the Dou Di level by devouring the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and using its energy and source qi.

Now that the Void Devouring Flame is gone, the Soul Emperor's foundation has been greatly damaged and his strength has plummeted. Although he has not yet fallen to the Dou Di realm, his aura is far from comparable to Lin Ran's.

"Are you ready, Soul Emperor?"

Looking at the Soul Emperor before him, Lin Ran slowly raised his right hand and plunged it into the colorful flames. The next moment, the twenty-two strange flames that had been hovering around the Emperor Flame all trembled and merged into the Emperor Flame. At the same time, the handle of a giant ruler was held in Lin Ran's palm.

Lin Ran slowly pulled out a brightly colored ancient ruler from where the flames intertwined.

As the ancient ruler appeared, the temperature of the entire world soared once again, and an ancient and magnificent primordial aura swept over us!

"The Ancient Ruler of Strange Fire!"

When they saw the ancient ruler wreathed in flames, Gu Yuan and the others' pupils suddenly contracted, and their voices became shrill with shock.

"So this is how the legendary Eternal Ruler of Strange Fire came to be..."

Zhu Kun stared blankly at this scene, muttering to himself, "This is a mysterious object that only exists in ancient times. Even among those ancient powerhouses, very few people have ever seen it. I never thought that it would take gathering all the strange fires on the Strange Fire Ranking to condense it."

"Sacrifice the blood blade again!!"

At this moment, a look of horror surged in Hun Tiande's eyes, and then he roared in a shrill voice.

Upon hearing his shout, this time, there was a commotion in the Soul Clan army, and surprisingly, not many people flew out.

"asshole!!"

Upon seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Soul Emperor. He swung his arm, and the blood-red blade slashed through the void, directly charging into the Soul Clan army.

A flash of crimson light appeared, and countless heads flew up. In just a few blinks, only seven or eight out of ten of the army remained. The remaining people looked at the Soul Emperor with fear on their faces, their faces pale.

Having absorbed the blood of so many powerful figures, the blood-red blade seemed to have grown a pair of blood-red eyes, exuding endless chill and murderous aura as it gazed upon this world.

"It's no use. You should be able to feel the difference between us, Soul Emperor."

Whether it's useful or not is none of your business to judge!

The Soul Emperor roared to the sky, seemingly insane. He then spat out another mouthful of blood essence, grabbed the blood blade, and the extremely sharp blade cut his palm open, causing blood to flow wildly before being completely swallowed by the blood blade.

"Die!"

The Soul Emperor's blood was scattered, and his face was terrifyingly ferocious.

He stepped across the void, and the blood blade in his hand suddenly expanded, turning into a blood-red light that pierced through the void and shot towards Lin Ran under the gaze of countless eyes!

Lin Ran's expression remained unchanged. He lay the ancient ruler horizontally in his right hand, and a dazzling crimson-gold lightning suddenly appeared in his left palm, slowly tracing down the ruler's body.

The magnificent crimson-gold lightning was enchanted upon it, and the power of the Strange Flame Ancient Ruler increased by several times. Then, Lin Ran stepped forward, and the dazzling flame ancient ruler tore through space, carrying endless and terrifying power, and slammed into the blood light!

"clang!"

A terrifying storm swept wildly across the sky, and the whole world seemed to be shattered by the impact.

A terrifying energy storm swept across the entire world, blowing everyone away, while a figure also crashed into the ground in a sorry state, creating a huge crater.

Countless eyes instantly converged on it, only to see a blood-covered figure struggling to stand up, looking extremely disheveled.

But the next moment, an ancient ruler was placed in front of him, causing him to stop moving.

"You have been defeated, Soul Emperor."

"Lin Ran!!"

The Soul Emperor struggled to lift his head, gazing at the young face, his eyes filled with resentment: "Why? Why! I've schemed for a thousand years, the Soul Clan for nearly ten thousand years, why did I have to run into you!"

"This should have been my domain, this should have been the golden age of my Soul Clan, why!"

The Soul Emperor swayed precariously, his voice hoarse.

Lin Ran shook his head: "Even if it weren't me, someone else would have. That's the way of the world. Although you, Soul Emperor, were able to become an emperor and reach this point, the final result can only be defeat and death."

"Hehehehehehehehehehehe!"

The Heavenly Emperor looked up at the sky, his voice mournful.

He certainly didn't believe in any grand trend or any bullshit fate. Losing was losing, and defeat was defeat. He, the Soul Emperor, was not someone who couldn't accept defeat.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Let's make our move, Lin Ran!"

"hehe."

Lin Ran slightly raised the ancient ruler, but at that very moment, his hand paused slightly.

A blurry figure suddenly appeared before Lin Ran's eyes.

The figure was extremely blurry, almost ethereal, yet it stood before Lin Ran, hands behind its back.

This bizarre situation greatly alarmed Lin Ran.

"Who goes there!"

The figure didn't reply, only revealing a faint smile before disappearing from Lin Ran's sight. But Lin Ran understood something; his pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind trembled.

"What, aren't you going to make a move yet?!"

The voice of the Soul Emperor rang in Lin Ran's ears, pulling him back to reality...
