Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 238 Beating Up a Battle Saint, Lin Ran's Combat Power!

Amidst countless horrified gazes, the dazzling Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame surged forth from beyond the Star Realm, eventually converging above this battlefield.

The holy flames shone brightly, like the dawn that dispelled the darkness of night, clearing away all the black mist in the sky. In the radiance, a figure dressed in black robes broke through the air and slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

"metropolitan!"

"It really is the Sect Master! The Sect Master has returned!"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, exclamations filled with different emotions rang out throughout the Star Realm. The people of the Starfall Pavilion were overjoyed, while the people of the Soul Palace were horrified.

"The aura of a demigod?! How is this possible?!"

"Didn't the intelligence say this kid was only a peak five-star Dou Zun? How could he have broken through to Half-Saint? How is that possible?!"

Hun Chi stared in disbelief at the young figure descending from the sky, his eyes wide open, his roar echoing wildly across the heavens.

This situation was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Not only were the Soul Palace members shocked, but Yao Chen and the others were also filled with disbelief.

A half-saint? How could he possibly be a half-saint?

The sect leader was in seclusion recently and only just broke through to the peak of the first-stage Dou Zun. How could he have broken through to the Half-Saint level in just one or two months?!

"How could there be such a huge error in the intelligence? A five-star Dou Zun and a half-saint, that's like the difference between heaven and earth!" Hun Chi said in disbelief. Even Hun Qing, the saint, had a solemn expression in his dark eyes.

He could sense that with the appearance of Lin Ran and the appearance of the true form of the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame, his Black Soul Flame began to tremble as if it had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Once the extraordinary fire is unleashed, all other fires submit!

His Black Soul Flame was no match for the Holy Gold Meteor Heart Flame in terms of strength!

"Wait, this aura...this is the aura of a magical beast?!"

Soul Saint frowned slightly. For some reason, besides the suppression from the strange fire, he also sensed a strong aura of a soul beast on Lin Ran.

Considering the intelligence reports that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan visited the Starfall Pavilion one after another during this period, could it be that the reason why this kid was able to rise from a five-star Dou Zun to a half-saint in such a short time is because of this?

Saint Hunqing had his own guesses, but no matter what he thought, or how shocked Hunchi and the others were, everyone knew one thing at this moment.

Lin Ran's strength has now broken through to the level of a half-saint!

Throughout the entire star realm, all battles ceased at this moment, as countless gazes, some fervent and others filled with fear, fixed upon that magnificent and dazzling figure, as if it were a holy deity.

Under that terrifying pressure, even a Dou Zun expert felt his mind tremble.

That was the oppressive aura of a 'Saint'!

"Sect Master, just how strong are you...?" Yao Chen looked at Lin Ran with some doubt and uncertainty. First, he went into seclusion and broke through from a five-star Dou Zun to the peak of a first-stage Dou Zun. Now he has broken through to the half-saint level. Such a leap is really hard for his old heart to bear.

"Ah, just a small opportunity."

Lin Ran chuckled, patted Yao Chen on the shoulder, and glanced at the Soul Hall members on the field: "Leave the rest of the battle to me."

"Yes, but be careful, Sect Master. Although you have broken through to the Half-Saint level, there is not only a Half-Saint among the enemies, but also a true Battle Saint!" Yao Chen took a deep breath to calm his turbulent battle qi.

Just now, in order to self-destruct, the fighting spirit in his body had been fully mobilized. Even though Lin Ran took action and forcibly calmed down his fighting spirit, the aftershocks of the surging fighting spirit still made Yao Chen feel somewhat unbearable.

Once his fighting spirit had recovered somewhat, Yao Chen's gaze fell directly on Hun Chi.

Lin Ran was facing a Dou Sheng powerhouse, and he couldn't possibly let this half-saint be handed over to Lin Ran again!

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Lin Ran withdrew his gaze from Hun Chi and Hun Qing and instead focused on the Starfall Pavilion elders around him.

Faced with Lin Ran's gaze, the elders quickly lowered their eyes and showed a respectful attitude.

They had already prepared for a fight to the death, and even after the Soul Palace's Battle Saint appeared, they had fallen into despair. But Lin Ran's appearance at this moment was like the dawn breaking through the darkness, giving them a glimmer of light.

"I am aware of everything you have done. Now you should rest and recuperate. There is no need for you to take action."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The elders breathed a sigh of relief, but many of them still had some doubts.

If they don't make a move, then who will? Is it really just Lin Ran, a half-saint, who can defeat all of them?

The next moment, Lin Ran's actions informed everyone.

With a calm smile, the entire Starfall Pavilion trembled violently, and then ten figures suddenly emerged from beneath the pavilion.

With a wave of his hand, three more figures emerged from Lin Ran's storage ring!

Combined with the puppets that had already appeared on the field, there were now more than twenty puppets in the entire Starfall Pavilion, and each of them was a Dou Zun level existence!

"kill."

A detached voice came from Lin Ran's mouth, and the more than twenty Dou Zun puppets suddenly rushed towards the Soul Hall experts, directly engaging them in battle.

After doing all this, Lin Ran looked up at the sky and focused his gaze back on the Soul Palace Battle Saint.

"Boy, I admire your courage. Knowing that I am in the Starfall Pavilion, you still dare to come back."

Soul-Clear Saint gazed indifferently at Lin Ran, his skull scepter lightly tapping the void: "Although I don't know how you broke through from a five-star Dou Zun to a half-saint in such a short time, a half-saint is still a half-saint. Today, I'll let you experience what a true Dou Saint is like!"

"Oh?"

Lin Ran grinned: "That's quite a coincidence. Look at my Starfall Pavilion, I have more than twenty Dou Zun puppets, but I'm missing one Dou Sheng-level commander puppet. With you here today, I think this regret of mine can indeed be fulfilled."

"You sharp-tongued brat! Prepare to die!"

Soul Cleansing Saint sneered, and the aura of a Battle Saint within his body erupted without reservation!

Admittedly, it is quite unbelievable that someone could jump directly from a five-star Dou Zun to a half-saint in such a short time. This not only involves a leap of five minor realms, but also requires cultivating nine levels of Dou Qi at the peak of Dou Zun before breaking through to the 'saint level'.

The immense amount of battle qi involved requires a vast amount of time and resources to cultivate. Under normal circumstances, even for people of ancient races like them, it would take decades or even hundreds of years to cultivate from a five-star Dou Zun to a half-saint.

Moreover, the supply of resources cannot be stopped during this period!

Therefore, what Lin Ran was showing at this moment was indeed quite outrageous, but even so, Soul Purity Saint was not afraid or worried at all.

There is no other reason.

He is a Dou Sheng, a one-star Dou Sheng!

He's not a half-saint, but a true fighting saint!

Half-Saint and Battle Saint, a simple difference of one word, represent two terrifying levels of power. Although Half-Saint powerhouses can also call themselves Battle Saints and possess strength far exceeding that of peak Battle Venerable powerhouses, strictly speaking, they can only be considered "pseudo-Saints." Only when they truly reach the One-Star level can they be called true Battle Saints!

Moreover, among the semi-saints, there are three levels: junior, intermediate, and senior. Only by breaking through these three levels can one possibly advance to the rank of Dou Sheng.

Lin Ran is only at the initial stage of the Half-Saint realm; how could he possibly be compared to a true Battle Saint like him?!

"Ten Thousand Souls Fiery Palm!"

Soul Purity Saint sneered, and the Black Soul Flame within his body condensed once more before he struck down with a palm.

This time, Soul Purity Saint showed no mercy. The moment this palm strike appeared, the entire Starfall Pavilion was thrown into chaos, as if the end of the world was approaching, making it suffocating!

"Feel the true power of a Dou Sheng, kid!"

With a chilling sound, the enormous fiery palm crashed down on Lin Ran, its terrifying force instantly causing the space around him to collapse.

Countless shocked gazes were cast upon him. This was the true strength of a Dou Sheng. Even Yao Chen, a half-saint, felt suffocated at this moment.

"Sect Master, be careful!"

Yao Chen let out a worried exclamation, but Lin Ran's face showed a calm and composed smile.

Faced with the fiery palm that seemed to extinguish the entire world, Lin Ran remained unmoved, neither dodging nor avoiding, and actually let the fiery palm land on him.

The next moment, amidst countless astonished and incredulous gazes, a layer of purple-gold light appeared on Lin Ran's body. Under the radiance, it was like an indestructible barrier that completely blocked the fiery palm.

Once the fiery palms subsided.

Lin Ran's figure didn't move an inch, and not even the hem of her clothes or the strands of her hair were messed up.

"So this is what you call a Battle Saint?"

Lin Ran's faint laughter echoed throughout the Star Realm, leaving all the Soul Palace members stunned, while plunging the Starfall Pavilion members into a frenzy of celebration.

"The Sect Master is invincible!"

"Wow, Sect Master, that's awesome! He withstood a Dou Sheng's attack without a scratch?!"

"This is the sect leader's strength! He's too powerful! The sect leader is invincible!"

The cheers were deafening, and the face of the once confident Soul Purity Saint was now filled with shock.

"That's impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Lin Ran smiled calmly, golden lightning flashed beneath his feet, and in an instant, he appeared in front of the Soul Purity Saint.

With a single palm strike, dazzling holy light surged toward the chest of the Soul-Cleansing Saint.

The Soul-Cleansing Saint immediately activated the Black Soul Fire to resist.

But how could that so-called artificial strange fire be a match for the Holy Gold Meteor Heart Fire?

In a single exchange, the Black Soul Fire dissipated, and Lin Ran's palm landed directly on the chest of the Soul Pure Saint. The vast aura of the Great Sun Holy Yang Palm suddenly erupted, and the dazzling golden light, like the sun, completely engulfed the Soul Pure Saint!

"boom!!"

The Great Sun Holy Yang Palm is a fighting technique specially modified by the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts based on Lin Ran's pure Yang body. This fighting technique can make the maximum use of the extremely strong and Yang characteristics of pure Yang fighting energy, and this characteristic is the greatest nemesis of the people of the Soul Palace!

With just one palm strike, the Soul Clarity Saint's body was sent flying backward, finally crashing heavily onto a distant mountain peak, shattering it into pieces.

"laugh!"

Golden lightning flashed from Lin Ran's body once again. The next moment, his figure descended from the sky and slammed down on Soul Pure Saint's body. At the same time, a burst of golden lightning suddenly erupted from Lin Ran's body. His cultivation as a half-saint surged at this moment, and his aura actually soared to the first level of Dou Sheng!

"Holy Essence Ignites Blood!"

Under the incredulous and horrified gaze of the Soul-Cleansing Saint, Lin Ran clenched his fist, golden lightning crackling around him, and faintly visible golden dragon scales covering his body.

With one punch, the latter let out a piercing scream!

Golden currents shimmered, golden dragon scales appeared, and combined with the golden light emanating from the Holy Essence Blood Burning, Lin Ran looked like a golden humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!

With each punch and kick, a thunderous roar filled the air, and a terrifying gust of wind formed beneath his palms like a storm. Hun Qing tried to retaliate, but he was astonished to discover that Lin Ran's attacks carried extremely strong spatial power.

Under the restriction of this spatial force, his movements were extremely slow, making him no match for Lin Ran at all.

For a moment, he could only defend himself, like a sandbag being brutally beaten by Lin Ran.

Lin Ran showed no mercy, unleashing his full fighting spirit and completely overwhelming Hun Qing. With each attack, the space collapsed instantly, and the terrifying aftershocks caused the mountains within a hundred miles to crumble, even creating massive craters thousands of feet deep on the ground!

Such a brutal and terrifying scene caused everyone present to stop what they were doing, even the battle between Hun Chi and Yao Chen came to a halt.

"This, this is impossible, how could this be?!"

Hun Chi was filled with disbelief. That was a Dou Sheng powerhouse! That was an elder of the Hun Clan, a true Dou Sheng!

But how could she be as weak as a sandbag in front of Lin Ran?

"You damned bastard, do you really think I'm weak?! Myriad Heavenly Soul-Devouring Flames!"

Hun Qing's fighting spirit erupted, forcibly breaking free from Lin Ran's continuous attacks. The black soul fire within his body surged, and the power of a Dou Sheng was released without reservation, blasting towards Lin Ran.

"Great Sun Annihilation Palm!"

Lin Ran was not afraid at all. He raised his palm to meet the attack. The intent of annihilation condensed, and the Great Sun Annihilation Palm collided fiercely with Hun Qing's Myriad Heavens Soul Devouring Flame.

The moment the bombardment struck, the world fell silent. Then, an overwhelming energy storm suddenly formed, and the space within a thousand feet collapsed almost instantly. All the mountains were also instantly shattered into dust!

"Stabilize the space!!"

Hun Chi and Yao Chen were also forced to retreat rapidly under this energy.

Yao Chen immediately activated his battle qi to stabilize the surrounding space, while Hun Chi, seeing this, actually tore through space and plunged headfirst into it, running away!
