The Old Gods

Chapter 1019 Final Battle
"lady."

From the thick fog beside him came the voice of the evil guardian.

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi understood immediately, realizing that the spirit of the divination slip might be nearby, so she flew away from the place.

After flying out of the mist, she also saw the two magical artifacts belonging to the divination slips.

"Come here," Jiang Ruyi commanded.

Both Qianqiu Bell and Tianming Banner hesitated.

Everything happened so fast. The two creatures instinctively dodged the enemy's attack, but they were still conflicted about whether to abandon their master and flee this place.

However, in just two short sentences, the master was blown to pieces.

At this point, there was no point in trying to escape; speed was not their forte, and they could not possibly escape the clutches of the human gods.

"Hmm?" The empress, standing in mid-air, let out a slightly upturned nasal sound.

For a fleeting moment, the Heavenly Mandate Banner had a strange feeling that it was facing the Evil Spear Emperor.

That nasal tone was not one of doubt, but rather of urging and threatening.

It is an order that cannot be resisted.

"Whoosh~" The Heavenly Mandate Banner flew away immediately, not daring to hesitate any longer.

Qianqiu Bell followed closely behind.

To their surprise, the human goddess did not touch them, but instead turned and flew towards another cloud of mist.

The banner and the bell silently followed the victor, wandering in the primordial energy scattered by the former master, until the human goddess absorbed all the energy and flew with her towards the sacred mountain.

Twenty kilometers east of the Holy Mountain of Gun Saint, the generals of the Burning Gate had been waiting for a long time!

As Lady Ranmen returned in triumph, cheers erupted.

"Sister Ruyi is amazing!" Qiao Yuanxi quickly stepped forward.

"That's great, haha!" Si Xianxian exclaimed excitedly.

Is there anything in this world more satisfying than the fall of a god?

Jiang Ruyi nodded slightly to the soldiers, her gaze lingering on Xiao Yuanxi's fingertips, her voice soft:
"I made you worry."

Qiao Wanjun smiled, and although she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of approval.

After Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he was overjoyed! It was only because there were so many people around that he could have given his girlfriend a big kiss.
"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, a huge object flew out from the sacred mountain at an incredible speed.

Everyone looked over and saw the gourd with black cloud patterns.

Yan Chou immediately rushed forward, caught the treasure gourd with one hand, and looked up to see the Evil Spear Emperor stepping on black clouds and flying out of the divine mountain.

Yan Chou immediately teleported back, while the Evil Spear Emperor rode the clouds at incredible speed, quickly hovering between the Divine Mountain and the Burning Gate camp.

The intention to challenge is obvious!
The joyful atmosphere on the Ranmen side instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The two battles against Lie Tian and Ling Qian were really just side dishes.

On this third day of the third lunar month, the real battle will be a life-or-death struggle between the leaders of the two forces.

"Brother, you must be careful of his golden hair crown! Don't let the golden light shine on you!"

Qiao Yuanxi couldn't help but raise her hand, looking at the tiny human on her fingertip, and said worriedly, "If you get even a little bit grazed by the beam of light, then you're all done for! You'll be completely gone."

As she was talking, Qiao Yuanxi suddenly shrank back.

Lu Ran initially thought that Jiang Ruyi was unhappy, so he turned around and looked up, intending to offer some advice, but found that she wasn't particularly angry.

Like her sister, Jiang Ruyi's eyes also held a hint of worry.

this.?

Lu Ran was somewhat puzzled. Who else could make Xiao Yuanxi so afraid?

Oh yes!
He looked towards Xiao Yuanxi's ring finger and, sure enough, saw his mother looking up, coldly staring at the enormous face of the girl's statue.

Before a major battle, it was natural for comrades to show concern and remind each other, and Qiao Wanjun certainly wouldn't stop them. However, saying things like "it's over" or "it's all over" would obviously be inappropriate.

As the saying goes, a single word can become a prophecy!
It's not about bad luck or superstition, but rather that negative words can create psychological suggestions and lead to unfavorable outcomes.

The battle between Lu Ran and the Evil Gun Emperor was undoubtedly the most outstanding battle in the world! Moreover, he was the one at a disadvantage, and he needed to pay special attention to every little detail.

Looking at his mother's cold expression, Lu Ran felt a little scared.

That being said, for Qiao Yuanxi, a dignified deity, to be intimidated by a human at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, well, can only be attributed to bloodline suppression.

Of course, Lu Ran could not escape the suppression of his bloodline.

He dared to advise Jiang Ruyi, regardless of whether she was a goddess or an empress. Lu Ran gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, daring to do anything.

Lu Ran dared not be presumptuous with Qiao Wanjun, however.

"Ahem! Well, don't worry too much." Lu Ran immediately spoke up, trying to ease the atmosphere, "I keep the purification technique running at all times."

Even if they are actually enveloped by the beam of light, they can react quickly.

The golden crown that the Evil Spear Emperor wears on his head is a top-tier magical artifact!
This crown can emit a huge dark golden beam of light, and all living beings that are illuminated by the light will suffer the emperor's pressure, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.

It wasn't a real burden, but rather pure mental pressure.

It seems that before the Evil Gun Emperor, all living beings have only one option: to submit and be subservient.

On a physical level, the dark golden beam of light would stagnate the divine power within a being, making it difficult to cast spells. Lu Ran, however, harbored great ambitions and was completely unaffected by mental attacks.

Therefore, the situation of "carrying an invisible mountain" does not exist, but the divine power within him can be imprisoned.

This is a serious problem!
Although it is a soft control technique, it is a skill performed by a fourth-tier magic weapon, so Lu Ran cannot stop the purification method during the battle.

"Hmm." Qiao Wanjun turned her eyes and pointed to the front of her.

Lu Ran immediately appeared in a flash.

Qiao Wanjun raised her hand gently, smoothing Lu Ran's short hair, and instructed, "That imperial robe must be disposed of immediately."

"Mmm." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I won't do anything else after I go up there. I'll just strip him naked first!"

"Heh." Qiao Wanjun couldn't help but chuckle. She moved her cold hand down slightly and gently poked Lu Ran's forehead with her finger.

At a time like this, the son is still in the mood to joke and laugh, which shows great composure.

Hmm. Maybe he was also quite nervous.

Just want to put my mind at ease?
Qiao Wanjun emphasized this point because the imperial robe worn by the Evil Spear Emperor was an extremely overpowered item.

That's not the Evil Cloud Robe, but a top-tier magic weapon!
This black and gold imperial robe can create a powerful aura that can continuously dissolve enemy attacks.

For example, when Lu Ran unleashed a series of burning hammer shadows at the Evil Spear Emperor, the shadows would be rapidly disintegrated and crushed by the invisible aura until they disappeared completely.

Close combat is even more terrifying.

The closer you are to the imperial robe, the stronger the invisible aura will naturally become!

The techniques Lu Ran uses in close combat are greatly weakened by the Black Gold Imperial Robe the moment they appear, significantly reducing their effectiveness.

"The effects of that imperial robe are similar to the first divine weapon domain of your Dragon Abyss Sword?" Lu Ran said softly.

indeed.

However, the Dragon Abyss Sword uses the extreme cold energy from the abyss to freeze and weaken all offensive techniques that approach its master.

The imperial robe is undoubtedly of a higher grade, as it does not contain any elemental attributes, which means that there are no situations where it is restrained or cannot be effective.

It will crush all techniques equally.

“My Dragon Abyss Sword is only a third-tier weapon, not comparable to that robe.” Qiao Wanjun’s movements were gentle, but her expression was particularly serious. “Dispose of the imperial robe immediately, but do not touch the hair-binding crown.”

Whether or not the golden crown is used for magic, it will always emit a faint glow.

For a tiny being like Lu Ran to approach that magical artifact is tantamount to walking into a trap.

"Yes, I know." Lu Ran smiled, trying to reassure his mother, but then realized he was wearing a blood crystal mask, so he took it off.

Qiao Wanjun didn't react much. Her icy hand slowly descended and carefully straightened his collar.

Lu Ran's smile didn't achieve the desired effect, so he lowered his voice and said, "If I win and get these two top-tier magic artifacts, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

Qiao Wanjun didn't comment, but instead withdrew her hand, slowly took a step back, and looked at the handsome and extraordinary young man:
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded emphatically, his figure disappearing in a flash.

Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly, turned her head to look west, and saw a tiny human standing face to face with the Evil Spear Emperor in the distant sky.

He did not say goodbye to her.

Or perhaps, his unusual stay in Yugu City over the past few days, those few days and nights of companionship, was a farewell?
"Were you entertained by the two battles?" The Evil Spear Emperor's calm voice echoed across the heavens and earth.

Lu Ran nodded.

It's not fair to say he died without regrets, at least he witnessed Lie Tian and Ling Qian fall one after another on the eve of a great battle where his own fate was uncertain.
I feel incredibly happy!

"Your forces are so numerous and powerful; I have truly broadened my horizons." The Evil Spear Emperor's gaze swept across the insignificant Lu Ran and looked at the generals and soldiers of the Ran Clan.

"Why don't you step down?" Lu Ran suddenly said.

The Evil Spear Emperor, who had been feeling sentimental, turned slightly cold upon hearing these words.

Perhaps for Lu Ran, this is an invitation.

But for a proud king like the Evil Gun Emperor, this was undoubtedly an insult.

Lu Ran continued, "You lead your team to join my Ran Sect, and together we'll challenge the Faceless Jade Venerable and crush all the gods and demons in the other war zones?"

The human youth's serious expression lessened the anger in the heart of the evil god.

The Evil Spear Emperor casually grasped an Evil Cloud Spear: "After you fall, I will treat your subordinates well."

Despite being called the Evil Spear Emperor and possessing two top-tier magical artifacts, he doesn't even have a single divine weapon spear!
It's so puzzling.

The Qiang Xiu side has a full three divine weapon spears, but they didn't even bother to give one to their leader.
What a stingy old man.

"Fine." Lu Ran grinned, knowing full well that he was just daydreaming.

"I will give your mother and wife a proper burial." The Evil Spear Emperor's gaze enveloped Lu Ran. "They were both leaders, and they would never stoop to submit."

If you are not here, they will carry on your legacy and raise a new banner.

Lu Ran's expression darkened.

The Evil Spear Emperor slowly raised his Evil Cloud Spear, pointing it at the insignificant ant, and uttered a single word from his thin lips:

"Come."
