Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 69 Everyone has a few hidden tricks up their sleeve.

As the young sect leader of the Cloud Rain Sect, Lin Ran had few resources due to the sect's decline and the fact that all three of his masters were stingy. However, to compensate him, his three old masters still left him some things.

The most numerous, useful, and practical items among them were the jade slips that Lin Ran had just taken out.

However, these jade slips are all single-use items, and Lin Ran has no plans to return to Zhongzhou at the moment. It can be said that for him now, each jade slip is one less available, making them his true trump card.

Therefore, Lin Ran would almost never use this thing unless absolutely necessary.

But right now...

"Click!"

With a crisp sound of the jade slip shattering, an unparalleled terrifying aura suddenly appeared in Lin Ran's palm.

"What?!"

The white-robed elder, who had just finished overlapping the four seals, was greatly shaken. Faced with that suffocating and terrifying power, he felt a chill run down his spine.

That was the aura of a Dou Zun, but compared to him, a one-star Dou Zun, it was worlds apart!

"boom!!"

The space in front of Lin Ran suddenly distorted, and a gray palm print of battle qi energy roared out, colliding fiercely with the Emperor Seal Technique, which was a combination of four seals.

The stalemate lasted for no more than a breath. The Emperor Seal Technique palm print, formed by the fusion of four seals, was shattered like a thin sheet of paper by the gray palm and landed directly on the white-robed elder.

Just moments before, the peerless Dou Zun powerhouse exuded an air of otherworldly elegance and grace. Now, he was like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards and crashing heavily onto the ground below, which had been crystallized by the energy explosion.

The terrifying force blasted countless cracks into the ground!

"puff!"

The white-robed old man's face flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs.

His original white robe was now tattered and torn, his body was torn apart, his bones were broken, his meridians were completely destroyed, his entire right arm had been completely destroyed by that palm strike, and his right eye was bleeding profusely, as if he had lost his sight.

If it weren't for the mysterious layer of battle qi protecting him, this Dou Zun expert would probably be dead by now!

Even so, with just this one strike, this Dou Zun expert was severely injured!

"How is this possible? That attack just now could only be unleashed by someone at least at the peak of the Dou Zun realm..."

The white-robed elder coughed up another clot of blood, staring at Lin Ran with a look of horror on his face.

If he hadn't activated the elder's special jade slip in time, he would probably be dead by now!

Lin Ran's condition wasn't actually that good. Although he appeared to be unharmed, with even his sleeves intact, his pale face due to blood deficiency proved his poor health.

However, at this moment, the white-robed Dou Zun's eyes were filled with fear.

The reason was simple: another jade slip appeared in Lin Ran's hand!

A single jade slip nearly killed him, even though he had used all his strength to dodge it.

If that happens again...

"Fuck you, I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

The white-robed elder roared, his remaining left arm tearing open space as he plunged his head into it, disappearing without a trace.

The once bustling skies above Stone Desert City suddenly fell silent due to the actions of the white-robed elder.

"Hmph, an ancient clan's Battle Venerable, is that all?"

Lin Ran snorted and put the jade slip back into his storage ring. He looked around and his expression was not good.

Xiao Yan ran away, taking Yao Chen and Hai Bodong with him. The ancient clan's Dou Zun had also withdrawn. Not only did he gain nothing from this battle, but he also damaged his own blood energy and wasted a rare jade slip.

Damn it, we've lost a fortune!

"Boss..."

Sensing Lin Ran's gaze, White Teeth and Green Robe swallowed hard, feeling slightly uneasy. They braced themselves, waved their battle aura wings, and stood in front of Lin Ran.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lin Ran, we couldn't stop it. That soul entity possessed a special mental attack technique, and we were caught off guard..." The woman in green lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Although Lin Ran did not order or require them to keep an eye on Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong, and the others, since they were present, they had this responsibility and obligation.

Lin Ran has now displayed overwhelming combat power, crushing Dou Zong and shattering Dou Zun, but the two of them can't even keep an eye on a person, which makes them feel ashamed and unable to face Lin Ran.

Of course, this is also directly related to the strength that Lin Ran has demonstrated.

Although Lin Ran's strength was already considered formidable in the past—a sixth-grade alchemist who instantly killed the Dou Huang-level Green Barbarian—it paled in comparison to the strength and achievements Lin Ran displayed today.

"It's alright."

Looking at Green Robe and White Fang, who were hanging their heads and looking ashamed, Lin Ran didn't say anything. He had seen that Yao Chen's condition had been restored by the ancient clan's Dou Zun. Although his soul essence was still damaged, it was not something that Green Robe and White Fang could stop.

With a slight movement of his palm, Lin Ran took in a gloomy soul.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Ran took a step and disappeared from the spot. Bai Ya and Lu Yi looked at each other and hurriedly activated their battle qi wings to follow Lin Ran.

Meanwhile, deep within the Tagor Desert.

Six humans dressed in black robes gazed in the direction of Stone Desert City, then slowly withdrew their gaze, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

"What terrifying power! That force... could it be a Dou Zong level expert?!"

Among the eight people, a middle-aged man recovered from his shock and murmured incredulously.

"That aura has completely surpassed that of a Dou Huang, and even Elder Jia is far inferior."

A light, melodious voice came from someone shrouded in black robes. She nodded slightly, revealing a slender, elegant chin with a snow-white chin: "At least a Dou Zong."

Upon hearing this, the other men in black robes all gasped in shock.

Among their group, the woman in black robes was the strongest, a powerful expert at the Douhuang realm. Since she spoke in this way, it was almost certainly true.

But why would a Dou Zong level expert appear within the territory of their Jia Ma Empire, and specifically in the Tagor Desert?

Everyone was puzzled, but the middle-aged man from before seemed to have thought of something. His heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the seven-colored snake scales in his hand.

There are very few things in the entire Jia Ma Empire that could attract a Dou Zong level expert to personally descend upon its territory. If he truly came with the same purpose as him, then perhaps…

The middle-aged man tightened his black robe, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, it seems we need to step up our efforts."

"I'll do whatever Master Furukawa says!"

The group of men in black robes rose to their feet, and behind each of them was a pair of wings formed from battle aura.

Eight streaks of light pierced the sky, dazzlingly bright. However, unnoticed by everyone, the strongest among the eight, the one with the strength of a Dou Huang, was trembling beneath her black robe.

"This fighting spirit, this incomparably domineering and powerful fighting spirit."

"Is that you...?"
