The Old Gods

Chapter 1020 Heavenly Palace Twilight (Part 1)

"Boom-"

The deep, resonant sound of war drums rang out once more, its momentum powerful and majestic.

The Evil Spear Emperor launched the first attack, his golden crown holding his hair up suddenly lighting up and emitting a huge dark golden beam of light towards the tiny human race.

Lu Ran was surrounded by immortal mist, a purification method from the Jade-Faced Serpent clan.

On a spiritual level, he doesn't accept any spiritual input.

At the physical level, the pervasive immortal mist purifies all filth. Although this is only a Heaven-grade technique, it has extremely high priority, meaning it can purify impurities even at a higher level.

Even so, Lu Ran remained cautious and dodged to the side.

Come and go without indecent!
As he flew horizontally, he reached out with one hand towards the Evil Spear Emperor, a surge of energy churning within his palm.

"Oh?" The Evil Spear Emperor was slightly surprised, and suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

It must be said that Lu Ran took this battle extremely seriously, and even used an extremely insidious technique—the Yin Bone Curse!

Since he activated the Thousand Bones Divine Sculpture, he has hardly used this move.

The Thousand Bones Sect can curse their enemies, causing their bones to gradually age and decay, slowing their movements until they are eventually unable to move.

The Evil Spear Emperor doesn't have bones, but this technique still works.

It will target an entire stone sculpture!

Extremely rare curse techniques are a separate category, neither physical nor mental.

Therefore, no matter how high the Evil Spear Emperor's physical defense and mental defense are, he cannot keep the curse out.

To remove the curse, one must either perform purification or kill the person who cast the spell.

In Lu Ran's world, there are only these two solutions, but the Evil Gun Emperor has given a third way to solve the problem.

"Whoosh~~~"

His imperial robes fluttered in the wind, and his invisible imperial aura greatly reduced and dissolved the inexplicable chill around him.

Lu Ran frowned slightly, realizing that the curse power he had injected into the evil body was too weak, resulting in the failure of the curse!

That imperial robe is really in the way!
But looking at it from another angle, wouldn't it be even harder to kill me after I put on this robe in the future?
“I have heard that you are different from other human stone statues; you have integrated all divine and evil magic into one.”

The Evil Spear Emperor's indifferent expression changed slightly as he looked at Lu Ran with great interest, as if he had rarely seen anything unusual in his long existence.

"If you want to overthrow the rule of gods and demons, you need to have some skills." Lu Ran snorted and his figure flashed.

The Evil Spear Emperor, standing on black clouds, suddenly flew to the side and instantly found the tiny human race, sweeping his spear swiftly.

Lu Ran's pupils contracted slightly!
He hadn't even managed to touch the imperial robe; instead, he was met with a fatal blow!
Yes, without a doubt, as a god, the Evil Spear Emperor's every move is fatal to Lu Ran.

The black mist spear in the hands of the Evil Spear Emperor is the Evil Technique: Evil Cloud Spear, which also has an extremely strong penetrating effect.

"Shu~"

Lu Ran's figure flashed again, fraught with danger!
The sharp spear tip swept across at lightning speed, leaving a trail of black mist in mid-air.

The Evil Spear Emperor turned his gaze to the south, his eyes sweeping over the human youth, completely disregarding the other's gloomy face and the fact that this was a battlefield of life and death: "You also know my evil magic."

He was indeed an emperor who was self-centered and did whatever he pleased.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Ran actually cooperated. His snow-white feather robe was suddenly covered by a black and gold imperial robe.

Evil Technique - Evil Cloud Robe!
The Evil Spear Emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at the human dressed identically to himself, and nodded slightly:
"He does possess a third of my charm."

Before the words were even finished, the tiny human race vanished abruptly.

Lu Ran certainly wouldn't be idle enough to show off his abilities to the enemy.

The reason for granting their wish was to distract the Evil Spear Emperor for a moment.

The next instant, Lu Ran appeared inside the back collar of the Evil Spear Emperor.

He ventured alone into a den of wolves and tigers!
"Hmm?" The Evil Spear Emperor let out a faint nasal sound, tinged with anger, which intimidated the minds of the insignificant ants.

He raised his hand and slapped the back of his neck hard. At the same time, black mist began to emanate from his neck.

Evil magic, entangled by evil clouds!
This is a terrifying technique. Strands of black mist can directly penetrate Lu Ran's water armor and seep into his body, interfering with the flow of divine power and restricting Lu Ran's spellcasting!
“Uh.” Lu Ran’s face turned ashen.

The ethereal mist surrounding him constantly protected him and purified the surrounding filth.

However, the divine-grade Evil Cloud Entanglement released by the Evil Spear Emperor was far too concentrated! Lu Ran was pitifully small, so much so that his entire body was completely enveloped.

"Ahhh!!" Lu Ran pressed his hands on the collar of his imperial robe, frantically channeling his divine power, and roared out in a rare display of strength.

From the human realm to the mountain realm, and then to the celestial battlefield.
Lu Ran had been cunning and ruthless before, but had he ever been this violent?

His roars on the battlefield were not even as loud as his shouts to his fiancée in daily life.
This time, Lu Ran was really anxious!

"Shhhhh!!"

Lu Ran's figure flashed and disappeared, carrying the imperial robe.

"Bang!" A huge sound echoed across the sky.

The Evil Spear Emperor slammed his large hand down on the back of the neck, almost crushing the human ant.

"Ah!" From afar, Qiao Yuanxi covered her mouth with one hand, but still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The rest of the soldiers mostly looked grim.

"It's alright, it's alright!" Si Xianxian hugged Jiang Ruyi's arm tightly. "The clothes are gone, which means the young master has teleported away. It's alright, it's alright." The Mad Immortal Protector was comforting his wife, and also reassuring himself.

Jiang Ruyi's expression was terrifyingly cold, her eyes fixed on the Evil Gun Emperor, watching this evil god who had almost crushed Lu Ran to death.

"Whoosh~~~"

The imperial robes fluttered, and when he came to his senses, he was already a hundred kilometers away from the God of Guns.

It was clearly furious, and immediately surged forth like a raging storm, determined to utterly crush the human villains.

The imperial robe hadn't been used to cast any spells, because once it went all out, the evil cloud binding spell cast by its master would be quickly dissolved and completely dissipated.

Now it seems we should try casting a spell!
With a "whoosh," the imperial robes billowed out, surging like waves, and the tiny creatures within them vanished without a trace.

As it turns out, even the Emperor's Robe's spell couldn't keep Lu Ran from leaving.

Unlike techniques with external manifestations, Shadow Flash, since it is not used externally, naturally has no specific target for suppression.

"Hehe." Lu Ran's chest heaved violently as he returned to the Gun Saint Mountain, gazing up at the Evil Gun Emperor standing in mid-air.

Against any other enemy, Lu Ran could easily strip them of a piece of clothing or steal a magical artifact.

But with the Evil Gun Emperor, Lu Ran truly had a brush with death!
As expected of a first-class evil god!
Lu Ran teleported there when the other party was slightly distracted. If the Evil Spear Emperor were fully on guard, what would happen?

"I take back what I just said." The Evil Spear Emperor looked down at Lu Ran from his high position. Without his wide robes, the lining of his robes was also quite magnificent.

Coupled with his unique imperial aura and handsome face, he truly made others feel ashamed of their own appearance.

The Evil Gun Emperor's eyes regained their usual coldness.

There seems to be some contempt for petty thieves.

"I'm here to kill the emperor." Lu Ran calmed his emotions, reached out with one hand, and finally engraved the Yin Bone Curse on the evil sculpture. "Your imperial robe is very good at protecting the emperor, but it's too much of a hindrance."

Knowing he couldn't escape the curse, the Evil Spear Emperor accepted it without flinching or retreating, and casually donned a black and gold imperial robe.

That was naturally an evil technique, not the magical artifact from a hundred kilometers away.

"Hmph." The Evil Spear Emperor snorted coldly, with seven black mist lines wrapped around his body, like thin black mist snakes, moving back and forth on his slender body.

It is astonishing how skilled he is in practicing evil magic.

At least when Lu Ran uses Evil Cloud Binding, he throws it outwards; he can't control it so arbitrarily.

The nimble, black, slender snakes were only in relation to Xie Su's size; to the tiny Lu Ran, they were like giant pythons that could devour him in an instant.

Clearly, if Lu Ran wants to get close enough to kill the emperor, he will have to go through that dangerous scene again.

With the help of the purification method, the Evil Spear Emperor could not stop Lu Ran from teleporting, but he could impose certain restrictions on him!

If the Evil Spear Emperor can interfere with or even delay Lu Ran for just one second, he can end this battle completely.

"Keep running away." The Evil Spear Emperor looked down at Lu Ran, casually raising his hand and pointing his spear diagonally at the sky.

In an instant, in the dark, cloud-covered sky, spear tips emerged from the clouds, hanging high above the heads of all living beings.

It's so densely packed, it makes your scalp tingle!

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!!" One after another, long spears of black mist pierced down, moving with incredible speed, like a torrential downpour.

Lu Ran plummeted rapidly and landed on the ground in a thick sea of ​​fog.

Under the cold gaze of the Evil Spear Emperor, the human youth did not teleport away.

Instead, they chose a direct confrontation?
A few seconds later, the Evil Spear Emperor realized that Lu Ran's rapid descent was not a delaying tactic, but rather a way to ensure he had a firm footing.

A torrential downpour of spears poured down.

The human youth, clad in a black and gold imperial robe, nimbly dodged the rain.

Sometimes swift, sometimes graceful.

With nimble movements, he displayed an indescribable aura of strength.

You must understand, this is a divine-grade evil technique, and Lu Ran is a Heavenly Realm cultivator! The slightest mistake could result in his complete annihilation.

Lu Ran strolled leisurely among them, even tilting his head back and fixing his eyes on the Evil God.

Such a contemptuous and disrespectful attitude seemed to be deliberately provoking the enemy's anger.

maybe.

At least Lu Ran wasn't showing off his agility, just like the black and gold imperial robe he had just put on wasn't meant to flaunt his wealth.

"Buzz!" Lu Ran held the Eight Desolations Blade, and a dazzling light quietly appeared at the tip of the blade.

That was the prelude to the supreme divine weapon domain, "One Blade Opens the Heavens"!

The Evil Spear Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly realizing something. Since the start of the war, both sides had been reading each other.

"Whoosh~" Lu Ran's robes fluttered, his body was like a ghost, and he carefully observed the seven thin black mist snakes moving on the body of the Evil Spear Emperor.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed!
A perfect "open space" appeared on the chest of the Evil Gun Emperor.

"Shhh!!"

Lu Ran gripped the Eight Desolations Annihilation Blade tightly, and his figure flashed away.
