The Old Gods

Chapter 1044 Come, Save Again
Thick, dark clouds shrouded Mount Nüying.

At the summit, a majestic Valkyrie stands tall.

She wore tattered black armor, a long red ribbon fluttering behind her head, and held a pale gold, broad-backed cleaver in her hand, gazing solemnly towards the southeast.

Behind Nüying stands a stone sculpture in a similar style—Wang Longxiang!

Even now, the Dragon God is still a false god, possessing all the techniques of the Nüying school, but only at the third level of the Heavenly Realm.

Because there was no divine position, Wang Longxiang was able to worship the true god.

She obtained the Flame of Superior Killing Power from the Mad Immortal Protector, and its output is extremely terrifying, comparable to that of a god.

"Are you scared?" Nü Ying suddenly asked.

"This disciple has been waiting for this for a long time." Wang Longxiang was not only fearless, but her expression was resolute and her eyes were burning with passion.

"Okay." Nv Ying nodded in satisfaction.

Long before the unification of the gods and demons, Wang Longxiang, under Lu Ran's instruction, had already settled in Mount Nüying and followed Lady Nüying around.

Over such a long period of time, everything that the Dragon God has shown has left Nüying with no faults whatsoever.

She felt as if she were seeing another version of herself.

If one day in the future, we can truly defeat the Faceless Jade Venerable
Nu Ying gripped the fourth-tier divine weapon, the Tenglong Blade, her slender two fingers tracing the pale golden blade meter by meter, her eyes flickering slightly.

After the faceless jade deity's defeat and death, he had completed his only mission.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to let Wang Longxiang inherit his mantle.

It will not tarnish its reputation.

At the mountaintop, a palpable sense of battle raged, and the two Valkyries were eager to test their skills.

Not far behind the two, another statue of a goddess stands, her face full of sorrow and worry.

Burning Gate Heavenly General · Flower Clear Shadow.

As a deity with dual divine positions of supporting flowers and green lamps, her role is to assist, diligently fulfilling her duties and forming a perfect tacit understanding with the soldiers.

These days of protecting the sacred mountain are good, very good.

Just now, a scout reported that the Jade Venerable himself had led a large army to invade.
How to do?
I prayed to the sect leader, but there was still no response.
Hua Qingying's eyes widened slightly!
The dark sky in the distance was suddenly illuminated.

The faceless jade vessel, gleaming with crystalline light, swept in with overwhelming force!

Hua Qingying's delicate body trembled slightly; she had never seen such a display of power before.

What exactly does the faceless jade deity want to do?
Is this the final showdown?

Why hasn't the sect leader arrived yet?
"All generals, heed my command!" A stern shout jolted Hua Qingying awake.

Nu Ying stood on the edge of the cliff, her voice rousing and soaring to the heavens: "Form ranks and defend against the enemy!"

The fourth-rank deity, Mud Lord, located halfway up the mountain, is creating minions at an increasingly rapid pace, and commands his minions to summon the Mud River.

The muddy rivers flowed horizontally without regard for anything else, even filling in the gaps around the sacred mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the Nine Bamboo and Bamboo Wood Demons stood ready, ordering their minions to summon bamboo forests as a barrier, taking root in the muddy river in an attempt to withstand the surging white jade waves.

"Roar!!"

Another seventh-rank divine demon, the Black Ape, who had merged into one, roared loudly.

As a surrendered general from the Northwest, Xuan Yuan was sent to the Southeast front line after joining the Burning Gate. With his strong and resilient body, he became a vanguard under Nü Ying.

"Whoo~"

"Whoosh~~~" The sound of the jade robe fluttering quickly faded into the distance, and the Jade Venerable's minions, who had been besieging the sacred mountain, flew backwards to the southeast like the receding tide.

It was then incorporated into the even more massive "white jade tsunami".

"Uh." Hua Qingying's expression grew increasingly grim as she watched the tsunami approach.

She was once a capable general who could stand alone, but now she is no longer a puppet manipulated by the gods.

Under Lu Ran's guidance, she broke free of her shackles, became a god, and finally reunited with her family. She also took her younger sister under her wing, showering her with care and protection.

She has everything she's ever dreamed of; she's no longer just a worthless person!

Then I started to get scared.

"Whoosh!!" Suddenly, a wave of energy rippled outwards.

Hua Qingying's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked up.

In the distance, a dazzling white jade tsunami shines, while on the nearby mountain peak, a striking blue teleportation array unfolds.

Hua Qingying was overjoyed and clenched her fists.

The next instant, huge figures fell from the magic array.

The two great protectors under the Lord of the Burning Gate: Evil Shadow and Mad Immortal!
The Martial Emperor of the Southern Pear Garden Divine Mountain; the Goddess of the Luo River of the Southeast Dragon Divine Mountain; the White General of the Central Golden Jade Divine Mountain.
Even gods and demons have varying degrees of strength.

Seeing these enormous figures moved Hua Qingying deeply; if she weren't made of stone, she probably would have already been moved to tears.

She doesn't want to die.

She had endured long, dark, and arduous years; her life had just begun to show a glimmer of light, and she truly did not want to die.
"Sect Master!" Wang Longxiang knelt on one knee and bowed his head in respect.

Only then did Hua Qingying see that a tiny figure was standing on the fingertip of the Mad Immortal Protector.

"Sect Leader," she quickly greeted and bowed.

Only Nüying stood proudly, turning her head slightly to glance behind her out of the corner of her eye:

"coming."

"Hmm." Lu Ran flashed and stood on Nü Ying's shoulder, gazing at the Jade Emperor's army that roared like a tidal wave. "There's also movement in the Northwest. Ru Yi has led a team to provide support."

"Oh?" Nü Ying raised an eyebrow slightly.

“The fighting is probably not just happening here.” Lu Ran’s expression was particularly grave. “Scouts are still investigating other parts of the Heavenly Realm.”

Nu Ying's gaze was sharp as a knife as she searched for the figure of the Jade Venerable amidst the surging white jade tsunami:
"She wants to fight us to the death?"

Lu Ran remained silent, watching the tsunami that connected heaven and earth gradually slow down twenty or thirty kilometers away.

The surging waves slowly dispersed to both sides, revealing a huge jade vessel that gently floated to the front of the army.

The entire sacred mountain was deathly silent.

Even the muddy river at the foot of the mountain has slowed down.

"Lu Ran." The soft voice carried a penetrating quality, filling the heavens and earth.

"What?" Lu Ran's voice wasn't loud; it definitely couldn't have traveled more than twenty or thirty kilometers.

But the whispers truly lingered in the ears of the enormous jade vessel.

Ghostly Eye Evil Magic: Corpse Whisper!

A faint smile seemed to appear on the blurry face of the enormous jade statue: "You said I could crush you to death."

Lu Ran's face was gloomy.

"As you wish." The enormous jade deity slowly raised his hand, pointing towards the Goddess Nüying.

Countless Jade Venerable minions suddenly moved, charging forward in a mighty wave.

"General Luo, unleash the Myriad Dragons Sea-Suppressing Arrow!" Lu Ran commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Luo Ying had already drawn his bow, ready to fire.

I heard a loud "ding" sound.

The bowstring vibrated!

What shot out of the bow was not an arrow, but a giant mosasaur.

"Roar!!"

The giant mosasaur bared its fangs and roared as it charged toward the Jade Emperor's army, but suddenly shattered mid-flight, transforming into thousands of smaller mosasaurs.

A deluge of arrows, a barrage of them!
The rain of arrows composed of small mosasaurs quickly clashed with the white jade waves.

For a moment, the sound of breaking was incessant.

The Jade Venerable's henchmen from the Heavenly Realm were pierced through the body by the divine-grade Ten Thousand Dragons Sea-Suppressing Arrow and perished one after another.

But even more of Jade Venerable's minions used the skeletal remains of their fallen comrades as shields, continuing their frenzied advance.

Throughout the sacred mountain, the faces of the soldiers were grim. Those like Ni Zun and Jiu Zhu trembled with fear.

With such a fierce wave crashing down, wouldn't the entire sacred mountain be washed away?
"hiss!!"

The hiss of a snake pierced the sky, shaking one's soul.

The white stone sculpture, which was originally gray and dull, suddenly shone with a bright white luster, and its size increased dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, a white-scaled celestial python, measuring ten thousand meters in length, had already coiled up in the sky above the sacred mountain.

The scene was absolutely spectacular!

The ancient ferocious beast let out a sharp roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and its long snake tail swept forward fiercely.

The soldiers were greatly encouraged! The overwhelming white jade tsunami was sliced ​​horizontally by the thick, long snake tail, smashing countless jade minions in its path.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the foot of the mountain, the black ape clenched its large fists, pounded its chest excitedly, and roared to the sky: "Roar~~~"

First-class evil god, Jade-faced Serpent, the true king of beast gods!

It is an existence that even the likes of Yin Li Hu and Ling Xiang must bow down and submit to.

However, the Jade-Faced Serpent was an evil god, so it was not included in the "Eight Great Heavenly Demons" sequence judged by the human race.

The black ape didn't care who this ancient giant python was; it only knew that it had submitted to Lu Ran, and the jade-faced snake was also under Lu Ran's command.

that's enough!
But in the next moment, the black ape's shouts suddenly stopped, and a beam of light descended from the sky.

It turns out that this time, the ancient ferocious beast swept its tail, crushing countless enemies, and its tail was also covered in filth!

The enormous jade vessel was stuck to the snake's tail. As the snake's tail swung around, it smashed countless companions. Just as Bai Rao retracted her tail, the enormous jade vessel was also "collected" towards the sacred mountain.

That won't do!
Bai Rao realized something was wrong and immediately swung her snake tail hard, trying to shake off the annoying insect.

One swing, but it failed.

The second swing.
The enormous jade deity was prepared in advance. It kicked off the snake's tail fiercely and used the momentum to rush towards the sacred mountain, slashing diagonally at the foot of the mountain.

Its speed is jaw-dropping.

The momentum was so strong that no one had the ability, let alone the courage, to stop it!

Anyone who appears in her path will be smashed to pieces, right?
Yan Shuangzi dares to stop me!
She flashed to the scene in an instant, and with a fierce slash from the upper left, her crescent-shaped blade left a floating black mark.

At the same time, howls of wolves echoed, and a large number of gray wolf shadows leaped through the air, pouncing towards the faceless jade statue diagonally above.

"Snap! Snap!"

The faceless jade statue smashed through the wolf shadows, and shallow cracks appeared on its jade skin.

[Get out of the way!] Even the Lord of the Burning Gate dares to block my way!
Lu Ran flashed to a spot slightly behind Yan Shuangzi and decisively gave the order.

Yan Shuangzi immediately vanished in a flash, and almost at the same time, the enormous jade vessel forcefully pierced through the suspended, pitch-black blade mark.

This knife mark, which had severed many enemies in half, a bloody and cruel sight, now only left a shallow scar on the faceless jade lord.

The Jade Emperor's body possesses an outrageously high level of strength!
"call!!"

Lu Ran was engulfed in flames, and with one hand reaching upwards, he unleashed a thick pillar of fire from his palm.

The enormous jade statue and its jade robes fluttered, covering its front.

She withstood the sea-piercing flames, and her momentum only slowed down slightly.

"Master!"

"Young master, quickly hide! Get out of the way!" An urgent voice came from the mountain, and huge figures rushed to the rescue.

But without a way to teleport, how could they catch up?
"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed, and he didn't have much time to react before teleporting away.

The enormous jade vessel, supported by its jade robe with its crackled patterns, swiftly swept through the lush bamboo forest and continued its oblique descent towards the foot of the mountain.

It blasted straight at the Black Ape!

The black ape didn't care about anything else. It immediately broke off its stance and its huge body rushed out of the mountain.

That wasn't an ordinary leap, but rather the Black Ape Evil Technique: Shadow Strike.

This method allows the caster to rush forward a certain distance, making it ideal for sudden advances and breakouts.

Unexpectedly, the enormous jade vessel adjusted its direction and continued to smash diagonally, drawing an arc in the broken bamboo forest.

"Roar!"

The black ape felt its head enveloped in white light and immediately let out a roar, activating its defensive techniques.

Xuan Yuan Divine Technique: Steel Bones and Iron Body + Black Ape Evil Technique: Copper Head and Iron Arms!

The two methods combined!

The seventh-rank god, Xuanyuan, maximized its defensive attributes within its own capabilities, thus losing its ability to move and its body becoming completely stiff.

"Bang!!"

The shimmering, jade-like body collided violently with the somber, gray stone sculpture in the bamboo forest.

White jade should be perceived as more fragile, but the black ape was the one whose shoulder was shattered.

The jade vessel's unyielding posture is truly unique in the world!

She even used her chest to slam into the Xuan Yuan's shoulder. In the instant of their violent collision, she disregarded her own injury and grabbed the Xuan Yuan's head with her jade hands.

Let's keep bombarding the ground with it!
Visibly, the gray ape head had been stained with the color of white jade!

It shattered and turned into jade powder under the palm of the faceless jade deity.

Yan Shuangzi's eyes widened suddenly!
Yu Zun's attitude of treating the entire Burning Gate and its master as nothing caused Yan Shuangzi's anger to surge outwards in waves.

Her figure flashed again!
"puff!!"

She instantly appeared below them, only to be crushed by the Faceless Jade Venerable and smashed into the muddy river.

The soldiers who rushed to the rescue all turned pale!

Where the faceless jade vessel landed, the churning muddy river rapidly turned into jade.

"Shu~"

Yan Shuangzi's stone-like skin was stained with patches of white jade color as she instantly teleported out.

She stood in mid-air, holding the headless black ape, her eyes fixed on the jade-like mudflow river with a sinister look.

"Ah!!" Mad Fairy cried out, equally furious!
Already descending rapidly, she no longer hesitated and fiercely unleashed a thick stream of flame downwards.

"Boom!"

Jade shattered, and mud splattered everywhere.

At the foot of the mountain, the seventh-ranked god Jiuzhu suddenly sensed that something was wrong!

"Pfft~"

Although the muddy river not far away had not turned into jade, a crystal-clear and dazzling figure suddenly emerged from it.

A faceless jade vessel?!
"Ah!" Jiuzhu hurriedly dodged, summoning the bamboo forest to rise from the ground, and then fiercely swung the bamboo whip.

However, the bamboo forest was smashed, and the bamboo whip was also grabbed by Yu Zun and pulled hard.

Jiu Zhu's expression suddenly changed!

The oppressive feeling emanating from the faceless jade deity was too great. In a state of extreme panic, Jiu Zhu did not immediately release the whip and was instead dragged towards the jade deity.

In their line of sight, a giant jade hand rapidly approached.

"Snapped!"

The enormous jade deity covered Jiu Zhu's face with one hand, forcefully grabbing his head, and his fluttering jade robe swept over the entire divine body like a wave.

"Snap! Snap!"

The faceless jade lord casually lifted Jiuzhu to his side, letting it struggle in its death throes.

While dodging the thick pillars of fire as she flew backward, completely ignoring Si Xianxian, she looked at Yan Shuangzi, who stood in mid-air, and said calmly:

"Come on, let's save them again."
