Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 4 Three Old bastards who screwed over their apprentices

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared and howled, its body radiating intense amethyst light.

A wisp of purple flame flickered and swirled on its body, instantly transforming into a raging purple fire that burst forth and coalesced into a massive purple pillar of fire that shot straight toward Lin Ran.

The intense heat was like a volcanic eruption, as if it would burn Lin Ran to ashes.

Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's reaction, Lin Ran smiled calmly and casually waved his hand in the face of the incoming burst of fire pillars.

As Lin Ran moved, a vast surge of battle energy suddenly appeared throughout the cave.

That battle aura was formless and intangible, yet incredibly fierce. If the purple fire pillars released by the Amethyst Winged Lion King were like a raging volcano, then the battle aura that Lin Ran was unleashing at this moment was like a turbulent and roaring tsunami.

"boom!!"

The two forces collided instantly, the purple fire pillar and the battle qi constantly clashing, the thunderous explosions echoing throughout the cave, and ripples of battle qi spreading outwards.

However, this stalemate only lasted for a moment before the pillar of purple fire was extinguished by Lin Ran's battle qi, just like the candles on a birthday cake, dissipating in the wind.

Upon seeing Lin Ran, who was completely unharmed, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression changed drastically. Only then did it notice Lin Ran's figure floating in the air.

Humans are not magical beasts; they do not have wings and cannot soar through the sky. To fly, in addition to special flying combat skills, one must at least reach the peak of the Battle Spirit realm and possess the ability to transform battle qi into wings.

However, not all humans who want to fly need wings.

As long as one's strength reaches the Dou Zong level, one can master the spatial power of heaven and earth.

They don't need wings at all, yet they can walk freely between heaven and earth as if on flat ground, because for them, the difference between the sky and the earth is simply the difference in spatial structure.

This human kid is actually a Dou Zong level expert?!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King found it hard to believe. Lin Ran looked so young. How could a human of this age be a Dou Zong powerhouse?

However, Lin Ran's aura was far too profound, and coupled with the fact that he casually shattered his attack, even if this kid wasn't a Dou Zong expert, he was at least a high-level Dou Huang. His strength was definitely higher than that of the human woman who came a couple of days ago!

"Human brat, you infiltrated my cave, disturbed my rest, and stole my companion amethyst source. What are you trying to do?!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared intently at Lin Ran, then suddenly spoke in human language and shouted.

"He's not a mindless beast."

Lin Ran gazed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and calmly asked, "I wish to take a drop of your primordial blood essence. Are you willing?"

Origin of essence blood?!

Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King paused slightly, and a look of annoyance immediately appeared on his face.

For Warcraft, the primordial essence is extremely precious.

If the demon core is the embodiment of one's cultivation, then the primordial blood essence can be considered the source of power for this domineering demonic beast's body!

If this thing is lost, its cultivation level will definitely plummet, and it may even fall out of the sixth-order magical beast realm!

"It seems you're unwilling."

Looking at the appearance of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Lin Ran sighed softly.

He didn't actually want to kill the Amethyst Winged Lion King directly.

Sixth-tier magical beasts possess combat power comparable to that of a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor). In fact, relying on their powerful physique and special innate skills, they are often slightly stronger than ordinary humans of the same tier.

He wanted to establish a branch of the Cloud Rain Sect in this northwestern continent, where all sorts of things were scarce.

Although this Amethyst Winged Lion King cannot be a disciple of the sect, it would be quite good to have it as a gatekeeper lion.

Unfortunately, this guy doesn't seem to have grasped the current situation. After revealing his Dou Zong strength, he still doesn't seem to understand the reality.

"That's enough."

"Playing tricks!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, its eyes suddenly blazing with purple light. Its massive claws, carrying a brilliant purple glow, slammed down towards Lin Ran.

Wherever the claws passed, they tore through the air, producing a sharp sonic wave with a piercing buzz.

but.

At the moment the Amethyst Winged Lion King attacked.

Lin Ran raised her slender hand and pushed it forward calmly. Her seemingly still palm suddenly erupted with an extremely large amount of energy, which even caused the space to ripple with energy.

The palm print seemed to pierce through space and landed on the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the blink of an eye.

With a burst of energy, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which had been charging aggressively just moments before, let out a mournful cry.

The massive body was sent flying, embedding itself directly into the cave wall, amidst billowing dust.

When the thick smoke dissipated, the overlord of the Monster Mountain Range was on its last legs and severely injured.

Lin Ran took a step and in a daze, he was already in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. He bent his five fingers together, forming a hand chop, and plunged it into the heart of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion Kings possess extremely strong defenses. Their flesh and blood are already incredibly powerful, and their bodies are further covered by a thick layer of amethyst.

However, when Lin Ran's hand touched these things, it was like a hot knife cutting through butter, with almost no resistance.

"The original essence blood is usually located in the heart... the heart... hmm, found it."

"Roar! Roar!!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King struggled frantically, the pain enough to drive him mad. He roared with his fangs and maw, flapped his purple wings, and roared purple flames constantly erupted from his body, trying to stop Lin Ran.

But a pity.

"Behave yourself."

An invisible pressure suddenly appeared, and the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King, who was still jumping around, suddenly froze.

Spatial sealing, a signature technique of high-level Dou Zong!

Completely bound, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could only stare wide-eyed as Lin Ran extracted his primordial blood essence from his body and felt his life slowly slipping away, helpless to do anything about it.

Death arrives silently.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's primordial blood essence was about the size of a fist, a purplish-red mass. Although it was blood, it was scorching hot, like a raging fire.

Lin Ran took out a specially made jade bottle from his storage ring and put the contents inside.

Using his hand as a blade, he broke open the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head and dug out its demonic core.

The Heavenly Spirit Blood Dragon Pill requires a seventh-tier magic core, and this Amethyst Winged Lion King's magic core does not meet the standard. However, it is a sixth-tier magic core after all, and it is quite valuable, so Lin Ran certainly would not waste it.

After taking the demon core, Lin Ran waved his hand and put the entire corpse of the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King into his storage ring.

We must not waste it, we must not waste it.

The corpse of this sixth-tier magical beast is excellent for various purposes, whether it's dissected for alchemy, forging weapons and armor, or cooking. Even if Lin Ran doesn't need any of these, burying it directly underground will greatly enhance the spiritual energy of the surrounding area.

The Northwest Branch of the Cloud Rain Sect has not yet been established. As the saying goes, one cannot know the cost of firewood and rice until one is in charge of the household. Lin Ran knew all too well just how enormous the resources required to establish a branch sect were.

Those three old bastards didn't give him any resources; they made him figure everything out on his own.

What could he do? He was helpless too!
