Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 72 The Holy City of the Snake People

at the same time.

The events that occurred in Stone Desert City spread like wildfire to every corner of the Gama Empire in just a few days, causing a huge uproar throughout the entire empire.

Although Stone Desert City is just a corner outside the Tagor Desert and an insignificant small town in the Gama Empire, the terrifying battle that completely surpassed that of a Dou Huang was like a magnitude 10 earthquake for the Gama Empire.

Countless powerful figures were shaken and filled with curiosity about this small town, which had attracted such powerful figures to fight here.

However, they dared not come in person, fearing that the powerful figure might not have left and would displease him. They could only send their subordinates to continuously search within the Stone Desert City.

Suddenly, the small town became extremely noisy and chaotic.

But the culprit who did all this has already left the city and headed deep into the Tagor Desert.

"Young Master, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group is now under our control. Are you just going to abandon it like this?"

Sitting atop White Fang's main body, Little Fairy Doctor gently massaged Lin Ran's shoulders and back, muttering, "That Xiao Li doesn't look like a good person at all. If he knew you had just fought with his brother, he would definitely cause some trouble."

Don't worry.

Lin Ran closed his eyes, enjoying the services of Little Fairy Doctor.

Qinglin has already submitted to the enemy. Now that the attempt to ambush Yaochen has failed, there is no need to stay in Stone Desert City any longer. Staying there would be a complete waste of time.

As for the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and Xiao Li, their combat power was dispensable to Lin Ran. However, he left Xiao Li a Holy Sect Iron Token and had Bai Ya clear away the obstacles in Shi Mo City. The rest depended on how well he could accomplish.

This can be seen as giving Xiao Li a ticket to join his own forces.

If Xiao Li can grow up smoothly, Lin Ran wouldn't mind giving him a minor outer sect steward position. Of course, if he doesn't achieve anything, Lin Ran naturally wouldn't care about the mere Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

As for his secret affair with Xiao Yan, Lin Ran wasn't worried. He had already left a way to control Xiao Li's body, and Xiao Ding's soul was also in his hands. This little Karami couldn't possibly escape Lin Ran's grasp.

On the contrary, Lin Ran hoped that Xiao Li could contact Xiao Yan more often, so that Lin Ran could regain control of Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

"That kid is cultivating the Burning Technique, and strange fires are an insurmountable hurdle for him. Without the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, other strange fires in the Northwest Continent will inevitably become his targets."

"The Fallen Heart Flame of Canaan Academy, the Sea Heart Flame in the hands of Yao Chen's disciple who's so dissolute... there's a very high probability that kid will go to the Black Corner Region, and there's also the Cloud Mist Sect with the three-year agreement..."

With this thought in mind, Lin Ran felt confident, a hint of self-assurance in his eyes.

I have the ability to see things from the front, do you think you can escape my grasp?

However, the blessing of this chosen one is really hard to withstand. Even though his current combat power completely surpasses Xiao Yan's, killing him is still extremely difficult.

If Xiao Yan escapes this time, an even more powerful being will likely appear beside him next time. After all, Xun'er's identity is too outrageous. This time it was a Dou Zun, and next time it could be a peak Dou Zun, or even a Dou Sheng!

"This is really a headache..."

We must gather all the ingredients for the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill as soon as possible. This deficiency in blood energy and stagnation in cultivation are putting immense pressure on Lin Ran!

"Boss, the Snake People's Holy City is just ahead, but there seem to be signs of a battle between humans and snake people. Should we move closer?"

The deep, muffled voice from Bai Ya aroused the curiosity of the group.

Especially the blue-scaled ones.

As a human-snake hybrid who grew up in a city on the edge of the Tagor Desert, Qinglin knew the Tagor Desert intimately and was also familiar with the snake-people holy city.

This place is practically forbidden territory for humans, so how could there possibly be humans and snake people fighting there?

"It's just a minor squabble between a few fighting kings; there's no need to pay it any mind."

"Yes, boss!"

Lin Ran spoke calmly, his soul already locked onto the location of the battle mentioned by Bai Ya, and he was already aware of the current progress.

At that very moment, Gu He, along with Yun Yun and the others, broke into the Serpent People's Holy City to seize the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. However, according to the timeline, this time was slightly earlier than expected.

It seems that his appearance has stirred up some butterfly wings.

The enormous eight-winged black serpent king danced in the clouds, rapidly approaching the battle area below. Although Lin Ran said there was no need to get close, this area was the only way to the Serpent People's Holy City. As they got closer, everyone was gradually able to see the specific details of the battle.

Amidst the rolling yellow sand, three figures engaged in fierce combat in the desert, each collision stirring up a wave of sand.

"Two human Battle Kings besieging a Snake-Man Battle King?" The green-clad man was quite surprised; such a thing happening in the area outside the Snake-Man Holy City was rare.

"So it was Moon Demon's little snake spirit."

White Fang chuckled, his snake tail swaying as his snake eyes scanned the group of figures. When he noticed two figures in black robes, his pupils contracted slightly.

"A Battle Emperor? And another one with such terrifying soul strength... an alchemist?"

"One Dou Huang, three Dou Wangs, four Dou Lings, and a high-level alchemist—this lineup is enough to wipe out some small kingdoms! These guys seem to have some audacious plans."

"Ignore it. You should stay in the snake-people's holy city for now."

Lin Ran spoke calmly, his gaze lingering slightly on the black-robed man, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Isn't this his little Yunyun?

However, now is not the time to look for Xiao Yunyun. Although half a month has passed since the last Yin-Yang balance, he has more important things to do now.

Because of the previous blood burning, Lin Ran's blood energy was severely depleted. Although this depletion could be replenished over time, it did not damage his fundamental nature.

However, despite saying that, physical weakness is unavoidable.

This weakness, coupled with the decline of blood and qi in Lin Ran's body, has resulted in an extremely poor physical condition for Lin Ran. Even the balance of yin and yang qi has been completely disrupted and urgently needs to be restored.

He needs to be repaired, he needs enough intense, powerful energy to make up for this weakness!

Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!

A vast amount of soul power spread out, instantly covering most of the Serpent People's Holy City. The middle-aged man among the black-robed figures who were confronting the Serpent People seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, revealing a puzzled expression.

"How could this be? Is it a perceptual error?"

"Although we are both of the sixth rank, your soul realm has not yet entered the Spirit Realm, so how could you possibly shake me?"

Lin Ran sneered. Although he and Gu He were both sixth-grade alchemists, he was slightly better in terms of soul level.

With his aura locked, Lin Ran took a step forward, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding space.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
