Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 92 Holy Rain Emerges from Corpse Soul Refining!

With Lin Ran's finger, it landed in the void in front of him.

The entire world seemed to freeze completely at this moment. An aura of annihilation, as if emanating from the deepest abyss, swept out from Lin Ran's fingertips like a hurricane!

"Boom boom boom!"

The world froze for a moment before suddenly breaking. The space behind Lin Ran began to writhe rapidly, as if something terrifying was about to condense and emerge.

Looking at Mo Tianxing and the three elders of Demon Flame Valley in front of him, Lin Ran sneered, raised his right hand, and suddenly shook hands with the four people in front of him.

"Bang!!"

As Lin Ran clenched his fist, the distorted space suddenly stopped, and then rapidly cracked open in the horrified gazes of the group.

A massive, jet-black finger, tens of feet long, shot out from the air and crashed down heavily towards the location of Mo Tianxing and the others.

This enormous, jet-black finger exuded an extremely terrifying aura of annihilation, as if all life would be reduced to dust under its touch.

As the finger fell from the sky, the void along its path cracked open, creating a spatial rift a hundred feet long.

"What a terrifying finger strike!"

Han Feng fled as if escaping, staring at the torn space in the distance, his face deathly pale.

The three women, Green Robe, Little Fairy Doctor, and Azure Scale, were also trembling with fear.

The sheer aura emanating from them was terrifying enough. It was unimaginable that if they were the target of that finger, their bodies would have exploded into a cloud of blood mist before the giant black finger even landed.

Wherever the giant finger passed, everything vanished. Almost instantly, it landed on Mo Tianxing and the three elders of Demon Flame Valley.

Immediately, a deep voice seemed to resonate deep within everyone's soul, causing everyone's heart to skip a beat. An unusual and terrifying pressure caused everyone's hands and feet to tremble slightly.

"Bang! Crack!"

A deep voice resounded, and an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

"Protect!"

Lin Ran raised his palm, and his powerful fighting spirit enveloped Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and the other two women.

The next moment, the massive energy shockwave crushed everything, and the entire auction house collapsed under the influence of this battle aura!

The energy shockwave, hundreds of feet high, swept across the sky, and almost all the powerful figures from the Eight Gates and Black Seal City were annihilated in that instant, turning into nothingness without even leaving a trace of ashes.

The lingering energy waves razed the entire Black Seal Auction House and everything within a kilometer radius to the ground, leaving no trace of ruins!

"What terrifying power! What a huge commotion!"

Inside the City of Dusk, Su Qian and Xiao Ziyan stared in disbelief at the location of the Black Seal City. The surging battle qi fluctuations were clearly visible even from such a distance.

This shows just how intense and terrifying the battle was!

"Thankfully, it blocked it..."

The elder in the gray robe sighed softly, gazing at the distorted space before him with a wistful expression: "A Heaven-rank combat skill, huh? That kid is truly terrifying. When I was his age, I think I was only a Great Battle Master."

"If this kid can grow up, his future is unimaginable. He will definitely be a strong person comparable to the dean. It's a pity that he has to go against that girl's family. It will be too difficult for him to grow up."

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. But no matter what, we can't let them fight inside the academy. Otherwise, let alone a battle between Dou Zun experts, even if this level of Dou Technique were to be used in the inner courtyard, the entire academy would have to be demolished and rebuilt."

The two elders exchanged a glance, their faces full of bitter smiles.

There was nothing they could do but do their best and leave the rest to fate.

Thick smoke billowed from Black Seal City, and a figure pierced through the smoke and dust, fleeing as if in a hurry.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, not deliberately trying to stop him; that guy had other uses.

With a flick of his sleeve, the smoke and dust in front of him dissipated completely.

On the completely leveled ground, a mangled body lay on the ground, lifeless. Yet, one could still vaguely discern from the strength of that life force that this man was none other than Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect.

As for the three elders of Demon Flame Valley, they have obviously been reduced to ashes.

Under the finger of annihilation, no life remains!

Lin Ran didn't stand on ceremony and with a wave of his hand, he directly pocketed Mo Tianxing's remains.

The remains of a Dou Zong expert are quite valuable, and he also had a storage ring on his body.

As the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, a powerful figure capable of producing the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, he must possess a considerable amount of treasures.

"grown ups."

The woman in green, along with Little Fairy Doctor and Azure Scale, stepped forward respectfully. The three pairs of eyes looked at Lin Ran with longing and reverence.

Such terrifying fighting skills, such terrifying power, were actually unleashed by their young master.

This is simply... amazing!

"My lord, Han Feng has escaped," the man in green said softly.

"It's alright."

Lin Ran spoke calmly.

Han Feng directly detonated the Sea Heart Flame, forcibly breaking free from the Great Annihilation Technique's lock and escaping. Lin Ran knew this, or perhaps it was intentional on Lin Ran's part.

Otherwise, with Lin Ran's current strength, how could a mere peak Dou Huang escape Lin Ran's grasp?

"This auction has gathered the high-ranking members of most of the forces in the Black Corner Region. Even if they are not sect leaders, they are mostly elders or young sect leaders."

The man in green looked at Lin Ran with reverence and said in a low voice, "I remember that you said before that you wanted to establish your power in the Black Corner Region. But now that all the powerful figures and high-ranking officials of these sects are dead, the future of the Black Corner Region... is probably going to change."

The Black Corner Region was originally a chaotic area that no one cared about.

With so many powerful figures and key individuals dead, it's impossible to predict or even imagine what the Black Corner Region will become in the future.

However, one thing is certain: the current landscape of numerous major sects in the Black Corner Region will inevitably undergo a major reshuffle.

For example, the Mad Lion Gang, the Heavenly Yin Sect, and the Rakshasa Sect all lost their sect leaders in this battle. Nobody knows what their future holds.

A behemoth like the Black Emperor Sect will inevitably collapse along with Mo Tianxing, Mo Ya, and the others!

In such chaotic circumstances, Lin Ran's plan to establish a sect is probably...

"Only under the fire can new shoots be born."

"Although the original Black Corner Region was chaotic, its internal structure was already deeply intertwined with the interests of various sects due to their power. Although they claimed to be in chaos, their connections and relationships were probably even closer than those of the imperial sects."

"If a sect were to be established in that kind of environment, even if it were to be established, its internal structure would inevitably be contaminated with a lot of rubbish from other sects. I don't have the energy to deal with that kind of stuff."

Lin Ran spoke calmly, his words simple yet decisive in determining the fate of the Black Corner Region.

"Green Robe, although the Black Seal Auction House is destroyed, Black Seal City still exists. You should reorganize it and take over everything from the original Eight Doors and Black Seal City."

"This place will serve as the foundation for our future sect."

"Yes."

The woman in green nodded slightly.

Black Seal City is undoubtedly a large city in the Black Corner Region. Although it cannot compare with Maple City or Black Emperor City, it is still a large city that is no less than Twilight City.

The city is large, populous, and well-developed. Even though Lin Ran's battle destroyed the Black Seal Auction House and everything within thousands of meters around it, it was only a small part of Black Seal City.

"Young Master, if we're going to establish a sect... it should have a name, right?"

Little Fairy Doctor raised her little hand and asked curiously, "What's the name of our sect?"

Upon hearing this, both Green Robe and Azure Scales turned their gazes to Lin Ran.

They had known about the establishment of the sect since they met Lin Ran, but Lin Ran had never mentioned the name of the sect.

Actually, it wasn't that Lin Ran didn't want to mention it, but the Yunyu Sect was simply too infamous. In the Central Plains, it was almost universally hated by the righteous forces, to the point that the entire sect was expelled from the sect.

In addition to the targeting by rival sects such as the Flower Sect, Lin Ran rarely used his sect's name in public. After all, although he was the young sect leader, the name of the Cloud Rain Sect was not very useful.

Now that Little Fairy Doctor has spoken, Lin Ran naturally has to tell her her name.

but.

The name of the Cloud Rain Sect, which should have been uttered without hesitation, stuck in his throat.

He hesitated.

"Sects..."

Lin Ran murmured, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.

Lin Ran knew very well what kind of sect the Cloud Rain Sect was; it was a sect that existed purely to serve the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts.

Within the sect, apart from the three demon scorpions, everyone else is a furnace or cauldron, without exception.

If he were to establish the Cloud Rain Sect here, wouldn't Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and the others also...?

No!

If the intention from the beginning was to use Little Fairy Doctor and the others as cultivation vessels, then the cultivation techniques practiced by Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin should not be the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, the Ice Venerable Force, or the Myriad Flower Nether Eyes, but rather the Blissful Art!

Branch sects are to be established, but at this moment, this sect is not a branch sect.

It belongs to Lin Ran's own sect!

"The Twelve Wushan Cloud and Rain Gathering, King Xiang ascends the Yangtai Terrace tonight, Cloud and Rain Sect, oh Cloud and Rain Sect..."

Lin Ran let out a soft chuckle for no apparent reason, and shook his head under the puzzled gazes of the three girls, Little Fairy Doctor.

He took a step and disappeared in front of the three women.

Only the indifferent words lingered in the air.

"Let's call it the Holy Rain Sect!"

……

The reorganization of Black Seal City is progressing very smoothly.

The original Black Seal City was the gathering place of the Eight Gates.

However, due to the grand opening of the Black Seal Auction, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the auction, Yuan Yi devoted almost all of the Eight Doors' resources to maintaining the operation of the auction.

As a result, Lin Ran launched a massive attack, wiping out almost everyone from the sect leader and elders down to the stewards and servants, leaving only a handful of survivors who were out on missions.

Without a doubt, in the face of the Green Robe with the strength of a Dou Huang, the entire Black Seal City was naturally taken over by her.

In fact, under normal circumstances, once a major force loses its presence in a city, another force will soon arrive and take over the prize.

However, the commotion caused by the Black Seal Auction was too great, with too many powerful figures and high-ranking members of sects dying, causing the entire Black Corner Region to be in chaos.

The various powerful forces were preoccupied with their own problems, and although they were in chaos, they seemed to have reached a strange agreement regarding Black Seal City.

Everything concerning Black Seal City was kept strictly confidential, as if it were a taboo!

However, some smaller factions wanted to take advantage of the chaos. After confirming that all eight gates of Black Seal City had been destroyed, they hatched malicious schemes.

This force has about a hundred members, the strongest of whom is a four-star Dou Wang.

However, after this force swaggered into Black Seal City, no further news of them emerged the following day.

Some spies only found out after making inquiries.

The hundred or so people from this force were almost all killed by a Dou Huang powerhouse the moment they entered Black Seal City. The remaining members all surrendered and contributed their share to the future development and construction of Black Seal City.

The news immediately extinguished the wicked thoughts of those in the Black Corner Region.

According to the rules of the Black Corner Region, as long as a force has a Dou Wang expert, it can be considered a second-rate force. If it has a Dou Huang expert, it is a genuine first-rate force. As for those stronger, they are like the Black Emperor Sect, with a transcendent status, and no one dares to provoke them.

Furthermore, rumors have circulated that the fundamental reason why the Black Corner Region has become what it is today is due to the faction to which that Dou Huang powerhouse belonged...

therefore.

Although the eight gates of Black Seal City were destroyed, the existence of the Green Robe Dou Huang powerhouse still existed, coupled with the attitude of those major forces towards Black Seal City.

For various reasons, Black Seal City naturally became a force under Lin Ran's command.

However, the Holy Rain Sect has not yet been formally established.

……

"What a penniless wretch! A powerful Dou Zong expert and the sect master of the Black Emperor Sect, and he only has this little bit of stuff left."

In a restaurant in Black Seal City, which was covered by battle qi, Lin Ran muttered a couple of disgusted remarks and put all the resources and materials in his storage ring into his pocket.

Mo Tianxing's storage ring didn't contain many rare treasures; most of it contained cultivation pills and combat techniques.

The pills were mostly ordinary fourth or fifth grade pills, with only one sixth grade pill. The fighting techniques and cultivation methods were all mid-level or high-level Xuan-rank, but there was one Earth-rank fighting technique called Black Rock Overlord Fist, which was low-level Earth-rank.

This move should be the fist-type fighting technique that Mo Tianxing used when he launched his attack on him, but Lin Ran didn't think much of it.

The remaining medicinal herbs and magic cores were barely acceptable and not particularly rare, which is why Lin Ran complained like that.

Actually, you can't blame Mo Tianxing for being poor.

As the leader of a sect, Mo Tianxing has brought out the extremely rare corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva for this auction. Putting aside everything else, the rarity of these two treasures alone makes them worthless.

and.

Although Mo Tianxing is the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, what kind of sect leader would take the sect's resources and run around aimlessly? Under normal circumstances, the sect's resources are basically kept within the sect, which is why Mo Tianxing is in such a poor state.

Compared to the impoverished Mo Tianxing, Yuan Yi's storage ring, belonging to a Dou Huang powerhouse, was incredibly luxurious!

Although there weren't many items in the storage ring, almost everything in it was of high quality.

There are more than a dozen sixth-grade pills, several earth-rank combat techniques, several bottles of sixth and seventh-rank magical beast blood essence, and more than a dozen kinds of rare alchemy materials!

This includes the Imperial Extreme Pill, the Breaking Sect Pill, the Three Thousand Thunderclap Pill, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, the Shadow Technique, and even the Transformation Pill that should have been auctioned to Zi Yan and Su Qian is still among them.

For the safety of the auction, Yuan Yi stored almost everything important in the auction into his storage ring, intending to settle accounts one by one after the auction ended.

Who knew?

Before the auction had even officially ended, Lin Ran, this scoundrel, appeared. He not only stopped the auction but also slaughtered all the auctioneers present!

Withdrawing his consciousness, Lin Ran contentedly played with the storage ring in his hand.

The items in this storage ring are so valuable that even a Dou Zun expert would be moved by them.

but.

They're all mine!

With these resources, the initial resources for the construction of the Holy Rain Sect will be more than enough!

Lin Ran snorted twice. When he was in the Cloud Rain Sect, he was never this wealthy.

"Oh, and you too."

As if he had thought of something, a cold glint suddenly flashed in Lin Ran's eyes. With a flick of his hand, a soul bag emitting black mist appeared in his hand.

Amidst the billowing black mist, a dense aura of spiritual energy emanated, creating an eerie and chilling atmosphere.

As the battle aura surged, the cries of countless souls echoed within!

"untie!"

Lin Ran formed a hand seal, and a wisp of gray mist immediately emerged from the soul bag, flying in all directions as if fleeing. However, it was blocked by a wisp of emerald-gold battle qi after only a few steps, unable to escape even a fraction.

Enveloped in battle aura, the emerald-gold battle aura slowly flared like flames. The intense heat was able to directly burn the hazy soul body, emitting a hissing sound. However, the hissing sound was not loud, as it was completely covered by the painful screams.

"How dare you attack me, the Protector? Aren't you afraid of the Soul Palace? Release me at once!"

"Don't even think about binding this protector! You bastard! Ahhh! Stop burning me! Stop burning me!"

"You bastard! Who are you?!"

The mournful screech continued until the soul enveloped by Lin Ran's battle aura became almost silent, at which point Lin Ran released the battle aura binding it.

"Is it quiet now?"

"Who...who are you...?"

The Soul Palace protector's voice was extremely weak, yet he dared not bark loudly again.

There's no way around it. Strangely enough, if he's not mistaken, Lin Ran's fighting spirit contains the energy of a strange fire. This strange fire is bluish in color, extremely hot, fierce, and scalding. It should be the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Fire Ranking.

But the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame shouldn't have the ability to burn souls, so how could it inflict such severe damage on his soul body, even more so than the legendary Fallen Heart Flame, which is specifically used to deal with soul bodies?

What he thought was actually quite right.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame naturally lacks the ability to burn the soul, but Lin Ran's fighting spirit is pure Yang fighting spirit, which is extremely Yang and strong.

This type of fighting spirit not only inherently counters the Yin and evil constitution of the Calamity Poison Body, but also suppresses the dark spiritual aura of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, including its soul.

This characteristic becomes even more powerful after being fused with a different kind of fire, which is why this situation has occurred.

"You don't need to know my name. I'll ask questions, and you answer, understand?"

Lin Ran spoke calmly. The Soul Palace protector wanted to bark something, but seeing the emerald-gold battle aura floating around Lin Ran, he immediately spoke obediently and dared not say a word.

"My name is Lu Ranjia. Within the Soul Palace, I refer to myself as Protector Lu. I am a Earth-level Protector of the Soul Palace and am usually stationed in the Mulan Empire."

"The reason I appeared in this Black Corner Region was to hunt down the soul of a Dou Huang powerhouse. I happened to be invited by Yuan Yi to preside over the auction."

"Yuan Yi only reached the Dou Huang realm with the help of my Soul Hall. I thought that this auction would surely gather many powerful figures from the Black Corner Region, which would facilitate my plans, so I agreed. Who would have thought that the result would be like this..."

As Protector Lu spoke, his tone was filled with the feeling of "Why am I so unlucky?", which made Lin Ran find it somewhat amusing.

"Little...you, how do you know how my Soul Palace's Soul Bag works?"

After recounting his tragic experiences, Protector Lu still seemed somewhat unwilling. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lin Ran as he asked in a deep voice, "The method of controlling and operating this soul bag is a closely guarded secret of our Soul Palace, known only to those at the Protector level or above. How did you know it?!"

"How do I use the Soul Bag?"

Lin Ran chuckled and patted the Soul Palace token at his waist: "Why do you think that is!"

"My Soul Token!" Protector Lu shouted.

"No."

Before Protector Lu's horrified eyes, a cloud of black mist appeared on Lin Ran's right hand, which was holding the soul bag. Then, the sound of chains came from within the black mist, and a black lock floated out, piercing through Protector Lu's soul chest and holding him firmly in mid-air.

"Now it is my soul command."

Lin Ran smiled calmly, waved his hand, and two figures shot out from his storage ring, then landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a few specks of dust.

What appeared on the ground were two frozen corpses.

One body was naturally that of the ancient clan's Dou Zun powerhouse, while the other was the corpse of Mo Tianxing.

The moment the two corpses appeared, Protector Lu's bound soul experienced a violent fluctuation. His blood-red eyes stared intently at the remains of the ancient clan expert, filled with terror, and emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"The remains of a Dou Zun powerhouse?! How is this possible?!"

"How could you possibly have the corpse of a Dou Zun expert in your hands? This is impossible, this is impossible!"

"Wait, corpses...you bastard, are you saying you're going to create puppets, no...?"

"It's so noisy, what are you babbling about?"

Lin Ran waved his hand, and the pure Yang battle qi immediately enveloped Protector Lu again. No matter how Protector Lu struggled and made a fuss, he could not move an inch, and even the noisy sounds disappeared.

With the noise gone, Lin Ran's attention returned to the two corpses. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ran retrieved the corpse of the ancient clan's Dou Zun first.

What Protector Lu said is correct. The reason Lin Ran took out Protector Lu's soul and this corpse was to refine a puppet!

As the Holy Son of the Cloud Rain Sect, Lin Ran possessed numerous methods for crafting puppets.

Such as soul control techniques, living corpse Gu refining techniques, etc., and what Lin Ran is going to use now is a puppet refining method called "Corpse Soul Puppet".

Now that the Holy Rain Sect has been established, it must have enough manpower. Otherwise, even if Lin Ran is unparalleled in combat power in the Black Corner Region, he cannot take care of the entire sect by himself.

Moreover, in the early stages of a sect's establishment, even if powerful individuals join, their loyalty cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, puppets became the most useful thing!

Since there was no need for a medicine cauldron to create the puppet, Lin Ran simply clenched his fist, and the azure lotus core fire surged forth.

With a flick of the finger, flames shot out.

They wrapped Mo Tianxing's corpse completely.

Under the intense heat, the ice layer enveloping his body melted rapidly.

As the ice melted, Mo Tianxing's robes turned to dust. Lin Ran remained calm. The intense heat caused the corpse to turn fiery red. As the body continued to be roasted, wisps of black smoke suddenly emerged from the corpse and were burned to nothingness by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

This black aura is a corpse aura, faintly containing some of the subtle thoughts contained by the owner in life. If this black aura is not completely expelled, it will be difficult for the remaining souls to completely merge with the body.

The creation of a Corpse Soul Puppet requires a physical body as its vessel, a magical beast's core as its heart, and a soul and spirit as its essence.

Success requires all three to be combined!

Therefore, this so-called corpse energy must be expelled.

Lin Ran controlled the temperature of the flames to a very precise degree, enough to expel the residual corpse energy from the body without burning it. However, this precise control required a lot of time.

Even with Lin Ran's abilities, it took a full hour of burning to expel all the corpse energy from the body.

As the last trace of corpse energy left the body, Lin Ran immediately flicked his finger, and two bursts of fighting spirit shot out, directly creating fist-sized holes in the corpse's chest and forehead.

No blood flowed out of the cave, because any remaining blood had been evaporated by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire during the tempering of the corpse energy.

Similarly, this is also a small step in the process of creating a "Corpse Soul Puppet".

now.

Because of the scorching and tempering effect of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Mo Tianxing's corpse has shrunk several times in size.

The skin of his entire body was a cold, grayish-white color, clinging tightly to the dry muscles, and his hands had become exceptionally thin and long, like sharp daggers.

The creation of a Corpse Soul Puppet requires burning away all blood essence, and this current state signifies that the creation has been successfully completed.

After examining some of the corpses, Lin Ran reached out and summoned a jet-black magic core.

This is a seventh-tier magic core, obtained from Yuan Yi's storage ring. Lin Ran doesn't know what kind of magical beast it came from, but its attribute is earth, which is a good match for Mo Tianxing.

The magic core hovered, and under Lin Ran's control, it precisely landed in the small hole in the corpse's chest.

After doing all that, Lin Ran casually made another move with an indifferent expression.

The Dharma Protector Lu, who was suspended in mid-air, immediately began to struggle violently!

Lin Ran's actions were completely undisguised and were almost entirely carried out under his nose. Now that things had come to this, how could he not know what he was about to face?

He wanted to escape, but even with his soul body, he was no match for Lin Ran, who could kill him at will, let alone now that he was just a soul.

With a slight movement of his palm, azure flames blazed within his pure yang fighting spirit.

With a silent, mournful wail, the divine consciousness belonging to Protector Lu was completely burned away.

Without divine consciousness, Protector Lu's soul remained still. Even after Lin Ran released his restraints, the soul remained suspended in mid-air, motionless, like a wisp of gray mist.

Lin Ran's palm twitched slightly, and he tossed it gently.

The gray mist transformed into a gray dragon of energy, which swiftly burrowed into the hole on the corpse's forehead.

As the mindless soul entered, Mo Tianxing's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, his pupils filled with pitch black!

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not completely relaxed.

"Next, let's talk about the side ingredients..."

The physical body is the form, the demonic core is the heart, and the soul is the spirit.

With the three elements combined, the Corpse Soul Puppet is already more than halfway to success!

With his left hand controlling the heat, he continued to refine the Corpse Soul Puppet, while with a slight movement of his right palm, strands of materials gleaming with a strange light flashed out from his storage ring and floated in front of him.

Most of these materials are medicinal herbs, along with several kinds of magical beast blood essence, two of which are grade six and one of which is grade seven.

Looking at the numerous materials floating in front of him, Lin Ran clenched his fist, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame surged from his palm like a pillar of fire. A suction force emanated from it, gathering all the materials together.

Under the terrifyingly high temperature of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, these materials were rapidly refined, turning into clumps of medicinal liquid, and began to gradually fuse together.

At this moment, Lin Ran was multitasking, controlling the flames to temper the corpse at a constant temperature while simultaneously refining materials at extremely high temperatures.

The high and low flame temperatures require extremely high flame control skills and precise progress control.

Fortunately, Lin Ran's soul had already entered the Spirit Realm, so controlling him was not difficult.

Both refining processes require a considerable amount of time, especially the tempering of the corpse. It must reach a certain level before it can achieve perfect compatibility with the soul and magic core placed inside.

Lin Ran wasn't in a hurry. While carefully refining the item, he also kept an eye on Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and the others.

They are all Lin Ran's darlings, so naturally nothing can happen to them.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

All the medicinal herbs and the essence of the magical beasts have been completely fused together under Lin Ran's refining process, and the refining of the Corpse Soul Puppet has also been basically stabilized. Next, it will be fusion and tempering.

This fusion and tempering process is as important as the consecration of a sword blade; it is also the final step in refining this Corpse Soul Puppet.

"That's about it..."

As he murmured, Lin Ran suddenly opened his eyes, quickly forming a strange hand seal, and a slightly odd shout came from his mouth.

As the shout rang out, Mo Tianxing's corpse suddenly trembled. The soul of Protector Lu, which had been swirling in his mind, was as if it had been forcibly shattered by an invisible force, turning into countless tiny points of light that densely scattered across every part of his body.

The moment his soul turned into points of light, the demonic core that had been resting on his chest emitted a faint buzzing sound. Then, bursts of violent energy surged out from it like a rushing lake, finally flowing along the meridians of his body!

With these changes to the soul and the demon core, the grayish-white color on the surface of the body grew increasingly intense.

In that instant, Lin Ran clasped his hands together, and the liquid formed by fusing a large amount of materials and the essence blood of magical beasts was suddenly splashed onto the Corpse Soul Puppet. At the same time, an invisible light suddenly burst out from between Lin Ran's eyebrows and fell into the Corpse Soul Puppet's brow.

As Lin Ran operated, the Corpse Soul Puppet's body began to tremble violently, and a powerful aura devoid of any emotion slowly emanated from the corpse.

Five-star fighting sect!

"Not bad."

Lin Ran let out a soft sigh, slowly dissipating the battle aura in his palm. The Corpse Soul Puppet also descended from mid-air, standing quietly in front of Lin Ran, its dark eyes seemingly regaining a glimmer of life.

Mo Tianxing was a four-star Dou Zong in life, but all his Dou Qi dissipated after his death.

but.

With Lin Ran using a seventh-tier magic core as its core, along with the soul of Protector Lu, the essence blood of a seventh-tier magical beast, and countless medicinal herbs to refine it, the strength of this Corpse Soul Puppet has long surpassed its peak in life, possessing the strength of a five-star Dou Zong, which is not surprising at all.

Most importantly, the Corpse Soul Puppet is fearless of death and feels no pain, yet it feeds on blood souls, possesses a slight spiritual consciousness, and can even cultivate techniques and combat skills. It is not a living person, but rather a living person!

Lin Ran estimated that if this five-star Dou Zong's corpse soul puppet were to fight on the battlefield, it would be able to unleash combat power comparable to a six- or seven-star high-level Dou Zong!

Of course, the costs of crafting this Corpse Soul Puppet were also extremely high.

The corpse of a Dou Zong expert, a seventh-tier magic core, a Dou Zong soul, plus the essence blood of a seventh-tier magical beast, and a large amount of auxiliary materials.

The value of these items makes it reasonable to exchange them for a corpse puppet like this.

"If I had a soul at the Dou Zun level and an eighth-order magic core, I could even refine a Dou Zun-level corpse soul puppet."

"In this way, I can truly roam freely in this northwestern continent."

"pity……"

Lin Ran shook his head, realizing that one shouldn't be too ambitious.

"Go, protect Xian'er and the others to prevent any accidents."

Lin Ran casually waved his hand, attaching a black robe to it, and calmly gave the order.

The corpse puppet's dark eyes seemed to shimmer with light as it nodded slightly and vanished from the room in an instant.

Looking at the empty room, Lin Ran did not get up to leave or to cultivate and rest. Instead, he took a deep breath and took out an item from his storage ring.

The object, a deep reddish-gold color, appeared and slammed heavily to the ground, accompanied by a low, resonant chiming sound.

It is indeed the Sun-Shining Cauldron!

Not bad.

After finishing refining the Corpse Soul Puppet, Lin Ran prepared to begin refining pills.

Moreover, it is a seventh-grade elixir capable of curing Lin Ran's blood and qi deficiency.

Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill!
