The Old Gods

Chapter 1075 Dying Standing Up

Yes, that's it.

In the thick fog, Lu Ran gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, muttering to himself.

My mind was filled with my mother's words: "Once you've made up your mind about something, you won't look back; once you've chosen a path, you won't back down even a step."

Lu Ran and his sword were meant to slay the Venerable One.

Slay the faceless jade deity who reigns supreme above the divine and demonic system and is eternally immortal.

The fog tornado came quickly and dissipated quickly.

Half an hour later, Xianjing Garden was clear and bright again, but Qiao Wanjun had disappeared. She must have accompanied Master Jian to the banks of the Yangtze River.

There were still people left inside, two of Chen Jingjing's Heavenly Realm henchmen.

One of the henchmen was still separated from Lu Ran by a window, guarding the balcony. Only after seeing the sect leader succeed did he return to his home.

"It still has to be Mother," Lu Ran murmured softly. "The immortal stroking my head is definitely..."

"Buzz~" The Blade of Slaying the Venerable hummed softly, sharing the same thoughts as the master of the divine weapon.

"Whoosh!" Lu Ran raised the Venerable Slayer Blade and directly activated the Second Divine Weapon Domain.

In an instant, a terrifying energy surged into his body, and the transformation at the physical level quickly affected his mindset.

Lu Ran's existence seemed unshakeable.

Wherever his gaze fell, everything was a smooth road, without any obstacles.

this.?

Lu Ran was already at the Divine Realm, so ordinary objects in the living room, such as the sofa and coffee table, as well as the thick load-bearing walls, could not stop him.

As long as Lu Ran keeps moving forward, he can easily crush everything.

However, understanding this principle and having this feeling of "unshakeable" originating from the heart are two completely different things.

So domineering!
How arrogant!
"Uh." Lu Ran weighed the knife in his hand, his body trembling under the terrifying amplification.

He suddenly waved his hand, and a teleportation mirror quickly took shape, instantly transporting him to the Third Heaven, Dragon God Mountain.

"Master?"

"Sect Master!" A greeting rang in my ears.

Yu Changsheng immediately reached out and placed his palm under the sect leader's feet.

Lu Ran, immersed in an incredibly profound state, directly commanded, "Colorful God General, use the pulling threads to control me."

He Yingcai was puzzled, but she immediately did as instructed, shooting a nearly transparent thin red line into the palm of the Dragon God's hand.

The young man in the imperial robe was quickly stuck to the red silk thread.

"Control me," Lu Ran commanded again, then took a step forward.

He Yingcai's expression froze.

Junior Lu, are you still able to move?

Undeniably, the Lord of the Burning Gate is indeed a being who transcends gods and demons. This refers to his identity, terrifying methods, and chillingly powerful combat strength.

However, in terms of specific realms, Lu Ran still belongs to the "Divine Realm" level.

What He Yingcai used was the perfect fusion of pulling threads and lotus root threads.

It is the world's most advanced control technique!
No matter how hard He Yingcai tried, Lu Ran continued to move forward.

What... what is this?

He Yingcai was shocked!
It was as if I had seen the real Jade Venerable wearing Lu Ran's skin!
Of all things in the world, only the enormous Jade Venerable is beyond He Yingcai's control.

"Yingcai?" Yu Changsheng was a little puzzled. He turned to look at the woman, thinking that Caishen would not dare to be too presumptuous because of her status as the sect leader.

When he turned his head, he saw He Yingcai with her eyes slightly wide open, looking incredulous.

So she kept casting spells!

It's only ineffective against the Sect Master?
Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up. He looked at the tiny human in his palm again and heard the other's command: "Tangled silk threads, tangled lotus root threads, bring them all on me."

"Yes!" He Yingcai was a little skeptical and immediately cast the spell.

Lu Ran then said, "Yan Zhi, summon the paper effigy to control me."

Not far away, the paper figure's eyes flickered slightly, and its hand, hidden in its wide sleeve, quietly picked up a paper effigy.

Even with the arrival of the second deity, Lu Ran still showed no abnormalities.

The paper doll kept kneading the paper effigy, but the tiny creature was so powerful that it made her tremble, completely disregarding her and her divine control techniques.

You should know that even the Faceless Jade Venerable himself would be affected to some extent.
"Sect Master, is this a Divine Weapon Domain?" Yu Changsheng asked when Lu Ran stopped.

Lu Ran did not respond, but instead flew up: "Sir, slap me."

"Slap you?"

"Just attack," Lu Ran ordered directly.

Without further hesitation, Yu Changsheng slapped Lu Ran, but under the watchful eyes of the gods, his large hand froze in mid-air.

The enormous stone hand crushed solidly onto Lu Ran's body, but could no longer move an inch.

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly and applied more pressure to his hand.

Lu Ran remained motionless, as if he had been welded to that spot!

Unfortunately, Lu Ran was standing in mid-air, with no foothold and no foothold to lean on.

Yu Changsheng was greatly moved and had a guess. He stopped insisting on slapping him, clenched his fist, grabbed the young man in the imperial robe in his palm, and then pulled him back.

Once, twice, three times.
Pull! No! Move!
"My Lord Sect Master!" Yu Changsheng was both surprised and delighted, filled with emotion. In the end, he could only open his palms and look at the young man who was still floating in mid-air.

Lu Ran looked down at the Zun-Zhan Dao, his heart filled with turmoil.

The first divine weapon domain of the Supreme Slayer Blade amplifies the all-around attributes of its master. This second divine weapon domain, however, completely transcends the level of physical attributes.
Has it gained super armor?!

Physical strength increases rapidly, granting immunity to all control, interruption, and knockback effects.

The existence of the master of divine weapons, like its will, is unshakeable!

If the master of the divine weapon moves forward, nothing in the world can stop him, much less make him retreat even a step.

Lu Ran slowly raised his head, and Yu Changsheng's heart trembled violently. He quickly looked away and lowered his eyes.

"Does Mr. Long know what's even more terrifying?" Lu Ran held the knife in front of him, his two fingers slowly tracing the cold blade.

"Please enlighten me, Sect Leader."

"The Venerable Slayer Blade is only at the third tier, corresponding to the Heavenly Realm."

Yu Changsheng's mind raced, and he said, "Immune control-type divine weapon domains, like purification and defense techniques, have a higher priority and can grant immunity to enemies of higher levels?"

"It looks like this."

"Sect Master, this isn't just simple immunity, is it?" Yu Changsheng added, "I couldn't move you just now."

"Mr. Long, don't forget, I am also a God Realm expert. My domain enhances my abilities, and the two complement each other," Lu Ran said in a low voice.

Previously, Fairy Jiang had offered advice to Lu Ran, exploring the effects of the second divine weapon domain.

Her predictions on the big picture were quite accurate.

The domain of the Slaying Blade is bestowed upon the master of the divine weapon.

In terms of specific effects, Xiaoruyi was thinking of amplifying divine and evil magic, or specifically amplifying a particular attribute of the master of divine weapons.

However, the Slaying Blade exceeded her expectations, directly pulling out a "Dominating Body"?!

Who could have guessed that?

What a broad-based power! What capital for insubordination!

If it weren't for his mother's unintentional reminder, even if Lu Ran and Zhan Zun Dao had fought on the battlefield for another month, they probably still wouldn't have been able to comprehend this realm.

"Sect Master, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should." Yu Changsheng was clearly hesitant.

"Speak," Lu Ran said in a hoarse voice.

“This divine weapon domain has both advantages and disadvantages. Your unwavering stance may be fatal in certain situations.” Yu Changsheng suppressed his heart palpitations and poured cold water on Lu Ran’s hopes.

Yu Changsheng calmed himself down and continued, "Under normal circumstances, when the sect leader is attacked, he will be knocked away, and he will only suffer damage once."

If the sect leader cannot be repelled, you will suffer continuous damage.

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded.

indeed.

The Divine Weapon Domain of the Slaying Blade grants immunity to all control, interruption, knockback, and other similar effects.

Not damage immunity!

Taking the Evil Technique: Piercing Sea Flame as an example, if Lu Ran is not blasted away, then every second he is inside the pillar of fire, he will suffer tons of damage.

He'd probably die on the spot!
"Thank you for the reminder, sir," Lu Ran said softly, turning to look into the distance.

The paper-paper figure felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She looked at the young man in the imperial robe in the distance, only to see him nod in acknowledgment and then disappear into the distance.

As her tense mind gradually relaxed, she looked at Conglong's empty palms and let out a long sigh.

He grew up too fast.

Even those standing at the height of gods and demons need to look up to him and watch him soar higher and higher.

Back when the two met at the Divine Mountain of Rouge Paper, he was still a human at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, and he was forced to sign a Pact of Unity with me, doing everything in his power to overthrow the rule of gods and demons.

In just one year, the once struggling ant has transformed into a colossal creature that dominates the three realms.

What a pity, what a pity!
Back when he was at the Heavenly Realm, we couldn't defeat him.

In the future, it will be even less likely that we can keep him in our grasp. Well, it's too early to draw conclusions now.

If the Burning Gate can prevail, then the years will be long.

Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
Lu Ran was unaware of Lady Yan Zhi's ulterior motives; he had already returned to the mortal realm.

Because the domains of the Cloud Sea Swords overlap, the two divine weapons can lock onto each other's positions.

With the help of Yun Haichen Qingdao, Lu Ran quickly found his mother on the banks of the Yangtze River.

It was the dead of winter, at dusk.

The temperature in Huaiyang was not high, and the small pavilion where Jianyi was located was filled with frost and mist, and was bitterly cold.

She stood with her hands behind her back, gazing quietly at the river surface reflected in the setting sun, lost in thought.

Lu Ran was very polite and revealed himself outside the pavilion, which also attracted Qiao Wanjun's attention.

Looking at the imposing young man in imperial robes, her gaze softened. She raised a finger and, through her veil, pressed it to her lips, signaling the child to be quiet.

Lu Ran was very obedient, but Jian Yi spoke up: "It's a success."

"I apologize for disturbing you, Master Jian." Lu Ran came specifically to express his apologies, then looked at Qiao Wanjun, "I also want to thank Mother for her guidance."

Qiao Wanjun shook her head and smiled.

He didn't think he had given any advice; it was simply that he and his subordinates had reached that level, and everything fell into place naturally.

"Can I help you defeat Jade Venerable?" Jian Yi asked calmly, gazing at the river surface dyed orange-red by the setting sun.

Lu Ran remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Whether I can defeat the Faceless Jade Venerable, I dare not make any rash statements, but one thing is certain."

He reached down to his waist, gripped the hilt of the Venerable Slayer Blade, and smiled to himself.
"It can make me die standing up."
