Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 45 For the Glory and Future of the Heavenly Serpent Palace

The terrifying aura of the Douhuang expert could not be concealed. His overwhelming power directly awakened everyone in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and made them feel suffocated.

Countless people looked curiously at the imposing central area, yet dared not explore too much, only casting shocked glances.

When did our Stone Desert City acquire such a terrifyingly powerful expert?!

"How can the Green Barbarian's aura be released so brazenly? Aren't they afraid of being discovered by the powerful figures of the Gama Empire?"

"Or perhaps they encountered some formidable enemy... Wait a minute!"

Above Stone Desert City, the green-clad figure observing the surroundings seemed to sense something, and his expression suddenly changed.

That aura!

There's absolutely no mistake. Even though she hadn't spent much time with that person, his aura was just too unique and powerful. That domineering, fiery, and irresistibly captivating aura left a very deep impression on her.

But how could his presence possibly be in this Stone Desert City?

Although the flying magical beast's ultimate goal was indeed Stone Desert City, she left ahead of time to meet up with Green Barbarian and White Fang. Judging by the time, it would take Lin Ran and the others at least another day to reach Stone Desert City.

Shouldn't he still be on the flying monster right now?

Could it be that……

Seemingly realizing something, the green-clad figure's expression changed drastically. The azure battle aura wings on his back trembled, and he transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight towards the center of that terrifying power.

"I am from the Heavenly Serpent Manor. I'm sure you've heard of the Heavenly Serpent Manor's reputation. It's probably not a wise move for you to make an enemy of the Heavenly Serpent Manor for the sake of a little girl."

Green Barbarian exuded a terrifying aura. He glanced at Azure Scale in his arms and said in a deep voice, "Let us each go our separate ways. Let's call this a day. What do you say?"

"..."

Lin Ran didn't speak, but his indifferent gaze and the fighting spirit surging around him made Lü Man's face darken.

Clearly, negotiation is no longer an option, so in that case, perhaps...

"The wood is cracked and the wall is thorny!"

Green Barbarian suddenly formed a hand seal with both hands, and the emerald green battle qi in his body flowed rapidly. Then it surged out of his body, and the thick earth began to tremble continuously. A large number of trees broke through the soil and turned into countless wooden spikes, attacking Lin Ran.

Upon reaching the Douhuang level, during battle, one can use the Dou Qi within their body to resonate with the energy of the outside world, and then manipulate it to unleash unparalleled terrifying power. This is why Douhuang experts possess such astonishing destructive power.

In cultivation, a fighter first cultivates their physical body. Once the physical body has reached its peak, the fighting spirit within the body can resonate with the energy of the same attribute in the world, ultimately allowing them to control it.

Almost every fighter holds this realm in awe and longing. Before reaching this realm, one may be able to withstand ten, a hundred, or a thousand attacks, but human strength will eventually be exhausted. Only by reaching the realm of manipulating the energy of heaven and earth, and being able to fight against ten thousand, can one truly transcend the illusion of a reflection in water or a flower in a mirror.

It is said that when one's strength reaches the level of Dou Zong or Dou Sheng, the earth collapses and mountains crumble with every move. This is not just a fiction. At that level, heavenly thunder and earthly fire arrive simultaneously with a thought, turning thousands of troops to ashes!

The densely packed wooden spikes intertwined and merged, the sharp wooden spikes several meters long resembling giant pythons and venomous snakes, densely intertwined. One can imagine that if attacked by such wooden spikes, even if the flesh is not pierced, it will be torn apart and crushed!

"It is truly outstanding that you have become a sixth-grade alchemist at such a young age. Looking across the entire Northwest Continent, there is no one else who has become a sixth-grade alchemist at your age."

"But an alchemist is an alchemist; compared to a true powerhouse, an alchemist's combat strength is simply insufficient!"

Green Barbarian said with a smile.

Although she couldn't see through Lin Ran's true strength, she believed it was simply because Lin Ran possessed a treasure that could conceal his aura.

Alchemists always possess a terrifyingly deep foundation.

What? You're saying that Green Barbarian can't see through Lin Ran's aura? Maybe it's because Lin Ran's strength is above Green Barbarian's?

Is that even possible?!

Despite the spiky shards, Lin Ran remained indifferent and unmoved.

However, to Lü Man's eyes, this scene made it seem as if Lin Ran was stunned by his own attack.

"You're going to die right here!"

"Even if killing you attracts countless pursuers, I accept it. With the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, our Heavenly Serpent Mansion can truly reach its peak!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Green Barbarian's eyes, but just as the wooden spikes were about to hit Lin Ran, a beam of green light suddenly blocked Lin Ran's path.

Countless vines also burst forth from the ground, colliding fiercely with the incoming splinters, sending countless wood chips flying in an explosion.

"What?"

The arrival of the uninvited guest caused Green Barbarian's face to darken. After recognizing the newcomer, she angrily shouted, "Green Robe, are you courting death?!"

"Green Barbarian, stop! We cannot make enemies of Lord Lin Ran!"

The woman in green hurriedly spoke up.

Green Barbarian may not know the extent of Lin Ran's background, but surely Green Robe knows it too?

Although what she knew was only part of Lin Ran's story, the fact that he was a sixth-grade alchemist was undeniable. The fact that he could train such a young sixth-grade alchemist meant that even if the power behind him wasn't as outrageously strong as he claimed, it certainly wasn't weak.

The teacher who was able to snatch the Heavenly Cauldron from an eighth-grade alchemist, a sixth-grade alchemist certified by the Central State Pill Tower... such a background, if one were to become enemies with him, it would probably be a disaster for the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

"Lord Lin Ran, hehehe, what a Lord Lin Ran you are." Green Barbarian sneered, "This brat refined a sixth-grade pill for you, and you're already this infatuated? Let me tell you, Green Robe, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil must belong to the Heavenly Serpent Palace!"

"Look closely, this little girl is still immature and her fighting spirit is still developing. As long as we guide her diligently, she will become the sharpest blade in our Heavenly Serpent Manor, and a leader who will guide us to greatness and the pinnacle!"

"Now, you either get out of the way."

"Or...?"

Green Barbarian's tone was utterly uncompromising, leaving no room for negotiation. The terrifying power of a Seven-Star Dou Huang was unleashed without reservation, causing Green Barbarian's face to turn pale.

"Let's die together with this kid."

Green Barbarian slammed his palm into the void in front of him, and instantly, emerald light burst forth into the sky.

A vast expanse of green vines appeared out of nowhere. After the vines appeared, they began to intertwine with each other. In just over ten seconds, countless vines actually entangled into a huge green fist that was four or five zhang in size, and it attacked the location of Green Robe and Lin Ran with unstoppable force!
