Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 296 The Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan - Soul Fiend!

The battle in the sky lasted for several hours.

Within those few hours, the entire Fallen Peak had been utterly destroyed by the two, attracting more and more people to come and watch.

Without exception, everyone was shocked by the terrifying aura emanating from Lin Ran and Hun Sha.

The two were evenly matched in battle, and the more they fought, the more alarmed Hun Sha became.

Logically speaking, someone like Lin Ran, whose strength was forcibly enhanced by secret techniques, shouldn't be able to last long. However, in Soul Fiend's perception, Lin Ran's aura not only didn't weaken during the battle, but instead seemed to grow stronger.

"Something's not right with this kid."

Soul Fiend's eyes were fixed on Lin Ran, his heart filled with murderous intent.

Lin Ran, at such a young age, has already reached the cultivation level of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng. With the help of secret techniques, he can actually rival him. This is a threat that the Soul Clan cannot ignore.

If it continues to grow like this, it will inevitably become a major obstacle on the path of the Soul Clan's grand plan.

"Today, you must die here!"

Soul Fiend's face was icy cold, and his overwhelming killing intent seemed to freeze the surrounding space. Countless powerful figures from Central Continent sensed this terrifying aura and retreated one after another, not daring to approach even slightly.

The next moment, Soul Fiend's figure transformed into a streak of blood-red light and shot towards Lin Ran.

Space rippled, and a sinister-looking Soul Fiend burst forth, its eyes glaring menacingly at Lin Ran. With a flick of its blood-red blade, radiating a chilling, suffocating aura, it tore through space, slashing down at Lin Ran with the force of a force that seemed capable of cleaving the entire world apart.

"Well done!"

Lin Ran laughed loudly, mobilizing all the fighting energy in his body, and the Great Sun Annihilation Palm was brewing in his palm once again.

However, at that very moment, an old figure suddenly appeared in the void before him, blocking the way for the Soul Fiend, and a cold shout suddenly rang out.

"To attack my ancient clan so recklessly... Soul Fiend, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

The figure that appeared before Lin Ran was dressed in a blue robe, with white hair and a youthful face. A smile graced his fair complexion, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.

"Bullying the weak and taking advantage of the strong, Soul Demon, you're really getting more and more backward as you get older."

The old man in the green robe calmly gazed at the murderous aura emanating from the Soul Fiend, his tone indifferent.

"The ancient road..."

Soul Fiend stared at the old man in green robes with a gloomy expression, a solemn look appearing on his face.

I never expected that the ancient clan would send out such a troublesome person.

"Gu Dao, don't get in my way! This brat has killed many of my Soul Clan's powerful members and ruined our great cause. Today, I will kill him!"

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Gu Dao shook his head with a faint smile and said, "Hehe, that won't do. Commander Lin is the commander of my Gu clan. It's absolutely impossible for him to be handed over to you. Soul Fiend, you should retreat quickly. Fighting two against one is probably not a good thing for you."

"With the presence of the venerable elder, in my opinion, we should simply intercept and kill this Soul Fiend here today!"

Upon hearing Gu Dao's words, Lin Ran laughed heartily and spoke up loudly.

"Although it's a good opportunity, there's a rule among our ancient races that we can't fight each other."

A smile slowly appeared on Gu Dao's face: "However, since you were the ones who made the first move, it shouldn't be a big deal if I were to intervene."

"Gu Dao, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Soul Fiend spoke in a cold voice.

Gu Dao is one of the three immortals of the ancient clan, and has always been opposed to the four demon saints of the soul clan. However, the four demon saints of the soul clan have a slight advantage in number over the three immortals of the ancient clan.

"Whether you're afraid or not, you know the answer in your heart," Gu Dao said calmly.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Hun Sha laughed in fury, his bat wings flashed suddenly, the space shifted, and he appeared directly in front of Gu Dao.

The blood-red blade flashed, its sharp crimson light piercing through the void and enveloping the ancient path.

"Soul Fiend, it's been hundreds of years since we last fought, yet you haven't improved much. If it weren't for the fact that your Soul Clan's Four Demon Saints are outnumbered, my Ancient Clan's Three Immortals wouldn't fear you in the slightest!"

Faced with the Soul Fiend's exceptionally fierce attack, Gu Dao smiled faintly, clenched his fist, and a green staff more than ten feet long appeared in his hand. The staff danced, and the energy of the entire world was mobilized, transforming into endless fierce staff shadows, which clashed head-on with the Soul Fiend's blade light.

"Clang clang!"

The clash of the staff and the knife, seemingly a mundane exchange, unleashed an extremely powerful and fierce force, causing the space within thousands of feet to distort violently.

The once-unrecognizable Fallen Peak was once again swept by fierce winds, with sand and stones flying everywhere!

"Hahaha, Elder Gu Dao, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

Lin Ran laughed heartily and suddenly joined the battle.

The sky above the sky grew increasingly intense.

Both Gu Dao and Hun Sha are top experts in their respective races, and both are around the level of Seven Star Dou Sheng. When they fight, their destructive power is naturally earth-shattering, but it is extremely difficult to determine a winner.

But with Lin Ran, things are different.

With the support of various powers, Lin Ran's cultivation level also reached the late stage of Seven Star Dou Sheng. Although his strength was not as good as that of veteran powerhouses like Hun Sha and Gu Dao to some extent, he was still a formidable opponent.

"Damn it, this old guy is getting in the way, what a nuisance... At this rate, I'm afraid we won't be able to get rid of Lin Ran today."

A massive, blood-red beam, thousands of feet long, shot out from the Ghost Head Blade, but it crumbled under the gentle touch of the Ancient Green Staff.

Lin Ran struck with his palm, and Hun Sha dodged it in a sorry state, his brows furrowed.

"Damn bastard... At this rate, forget about getting rid of this kid, I'm afraid even I won't be able to escape unscathed..."

A fierce glint flashed in Hun Sha's eyes, and his hand seals suddenly changed, causing the blood-red blade in his hand to fly out of his grasp.

As the crimson light surged, it instantly expanded to a massive size of a thousand feet!

A massive blood-red blade hovered in the sky, its baleful aura condensing as if it were a tangible substance. Blood light surged on the blade's edge, and even the soul trembled under its blade.

"Blood God Rises Through the Heavens!"

The murderous aura on the blood-red blade grew even stronger.

Soul Fiend's eyes turned cold, and his blood blade swept down instantly. A piercing sonic boom resounded in the sky. Where the blood blade passed, the space within ten thousand feet collapsed completely. On the tens of thousands of miles of plains below, a huge ravine appeared, which was not wide, but so deep that no one could fathom its bottom.

As the blood-red blade swept down, Lin Ran and Gu Dao exchanged a glance. One of them rapidly expanded his green staff, while the other raised his hand and unleashed a powerful palm print. Together, they clashed fiercely with the blood-red blade.

"boom!"

An indescribable and terrifying shock swept across the sky, and the already devastated Fallen Peak collapsed and shattered once more at this moment, turning countless mountains into dust. The destructive power of the battle between the Seven Star Battle Saints was terrifying to this extent!

"Whoosh!"

The blood-red blade flew backward, its size rapidly shrinking, before swiftly hurtling towards the direction where the Soul Fiend's figure was.

However, just as the Blood Blade touched that figure, the latter actually grabbed the Blood Blade, waved his hand, and instantly disappeared from the spot along with the Soul Clan powerhouses outside the Fallen Peak.

"They actually ran away?"

Watching the Soul Fiend leave without looking back, Lin Ran let out a soft hum, feeling somewhat regretful.

If they could capture Hun Sha today, it would be a heavy blow to the Soul Clan. However, Lin Ran also knew that although he and Gu Dao were stronger than Hun Sha, they couldn't stop him if he insisted on running away.

Everyone here is a Seven-Star Fighting Saint, and no one can defeat the other.

"You're greedy. The Soul Clan isn't as easy to deal with as you think."

Gu Dao turned around, looking at Lin Ran with a complicated expression, and sighed softly, "When we met in the Ancient Realm, I knew you were extraordinary, but I never expected you to be able to achieve this level in such a short time."

"Seven Star Dou Sheng, Pure Lotus Demon Flame... In just a few short years, you've accomplished what took this old man hundreds or even thousands of years!"

"Elder Gu Dao is joking. I was just lucky."

Lin Ran smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "By the way, what brings you here today, sir...?"

"It's all because of that girl, Xun'er!"

Gu Dao snorted lightly: "You brat, you've quietly plucked the most dazzling flower of our clan, and you still have the nerve to say that!"

"That girl waited for you outside the Demon Flame Space for two years. After you came out, although she returned to the clan, she kept pestering us old guys, saying that she would protect you no matter what, saying that since you stole the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the Soul Clan would definitely not let you go."

"But it's tough on my old body..."

"Ahem." Lin Ran calmly took out a Grade Nine Bodhi Great Rejuvenation Pill from his storage ring and handed it to Gu Dao: "Elder Gu Dao, you've had a long journey. Why don't you come to my Holy Sect for a cup of tea?"

So savvy?

Gu Dao glanced at Lin Ran in surprise, intending to refuse, but upon seeing the potent effects of the pill, he was immediately alarmed.

"This is……"

"A ninth-grade precious pill is nothing to mention; it can increase the success rate of a powerhouse at the peak of the ninth-level Dou Zun by 50% in advancing to Dou Sheng," Lin Ran said with a smile. "Although this pill is of little use to Elder Gu Dao, you can still give it to the younger members of your clan..."

Grade 9 Precious Pills are extremely valuable. Given that Grade 9 Profound Pills are rarely seen these days, Grade 9 Precious Pills are the most valuable hard currency in the Dou Qi Continent, not to mention that they are 'breakthrough-type pills'!

"Yes, that's thoughtful!"

Gu Dao stroked his white beard and accepted the pill with a smile on his face...

……

The decisive battle at the summit of Fallen Peak, which shook the entire Central Continent, ended with the defeat of the Soul Palace, leaving many feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

The Holy Sect Master Lin Ran displayed unparalleled cultivation, defeating the Soul Palace by fighting against three opponents single-handedly.

The four demon saints of the Soul Clan made a move to kill Lin Ran, but they fought to a standstill with him.

In the end, the three immortals of the ancient clan intervened and joined forces with Lin Ran to drive away the Soul Fiend...

All these results and the development of events were completely beyond everyone's expectations. The Soul Palace, the hegemonic force that has stood in the Central Continent for hundreds of years, has finally encountered a powerful existence that can blunt their arrogance after being so unscrupulous for so long!

Holy Ancestor.

Lin Ran!

After the battle at the summit, these two names were etched deeply into the minds of everyone in Zhongzhou, as if carved by a knife and axe.

The battle at the summit of Fallen Peak has been sung by countless people!

Countless people felt a deep sense of dread regarding Lin Ran's strength, his background, and the power behind him.

The cultivation of a Seven-Star Battle Saint is enough to make one stand out from the crowd, and the number of Battle Saint experts in the Holy Sect is even more unparalleled in the Central Plains!

Not to mention the ancient tribes behind it.

This terrifying power made countless people realize that Lin Ran's success today was not due to luck, but to his hard work and strength!

After this battle, the name of the Holy Sect spread to every corner of the Central Plains, and that magnificent battle would undoubtedly be passed down by word of mouth by countless people with awe.

The overlord has changed, a new king has ascended the throne, and the Central Plains are shaken!

……

When news of the battle at the Fallen Peak reached the Holy Sect, it unsurprisingly triggered a shock and ecstasy akin to the collapse of the heavens and the earth.

For almost half a month, the entire Holy Sect was in a state of jubilation.

From now on, the Holy Sect will have an unparalleled reputation in the Central Plains, and all members of the Holy Sect, even the most peripheral members, will be able to stand tall and be full of pride when they meet others, simply because they have the emblem of the Holy Sect on their chests.

The Holy Emperor's tokens consist of twelve jade tokens, one hundred and twenty-eight gold tokens, and three hundred and sixty-five silver tokens.

Those who possess the Holy Sect Token are all incredibly arrogant, looking down on everyone else with disdain!

Of course, this situation did not have any adverse effects on the Holy Sect. On the contrary, it greatly increased the Holy Sect's influence and popularity, attracting a large number of people to join the Holy Sect.

The Holy Ancestor grew ever stronger.

While the entire Holy Sect was in a state of jubilation, no one forgot the entity that brought about this victory!

The earth-shattering battle of that day, after being passed down by word of mouth, has become almost mythical.

In their mouths, Lin Ran was described as a god-like figure, and hearing such rumors made Lin Ran unable to help but chuckle.

That's something even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) could do. Even a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) probably couldn't withstand such boasting.

However, in the midst of this tradition, those members of the Holy Sect truly regarded him as an inviolable god in their hearts.

This is an almost blind reverence, a devotion akin to that of a believer!

When one's reputation accumulates to a certain level, it will also subtly elevate one's standing in people's hearts.

Undoubtedly, the devout faith of these members of the Holy Sect towards Lin Ran also became increasingly fervent during this process of sublimation.

Yao Chen and the others were not surprised by this situation at all, and did not try to stop it in the slightest.

People always need to have a belief, because this belief gives them a high degree of cohesion, and Lin Ran has quietly become the common belief of everyone in the Holy Sect.

From the sect leader, transformed into a holy deity!
