The Old Gods

Chapter 1087 Submission?

This is a victory that will surely be recorded in history!

With the Jade Emperor's true form destroyed, the sword hanging over the soldiers' heads was utterly shattered. The human world and its billions of people will now exist peacefully and for a long time under the protection of the Burning Gate.

Yes, the Burning Gate team has that kind of confidence to announce the results in advance.

As for the gods and demons in other war zones of the world.
Can they be considered obstacles?

The gods and demons of the Great Xia war zone are undoubtedly the strongest in terms of overall strength! Once the Burning Gate clears the most difficult "expansion pack", the other war zones are nothing special.

Before Lu Ran, what storm could any living being within the framework of gods and demons possibly stir up?

When he slew the Jade Venerable's true form, it meant that there was no living being left in the world who could contend with him.

At this moment of victory in the final battle, it would not be an exaggeration for the soldiers to weep with joy and dance with abandon.

However, Lady Ranmen was in charge of the overall situation and did not give the soldiers much time to celebrate.

Jiang Ruyi did not believe that now was the time to relax. Under her orders, some of the soldiers who had participated in the battle quickly returned to their respective sacred mountains to ensure the stability of the base camp.

The Jade Venerable himself is dead, but his minions are still alive!
They still appeared in wave-like or wall-like formations, attempting to destroy the celestial battlefield.

You can strategically disregard the Celestial minions, but in actual combat, you must take this terrifying race seriously.

On the battlefield where the Jade Corpse Mountain fell, the Jade Venerable's minions went completely mad.

They rushed forward one after another, completely disregarding their own lives, all heading towards Lu Ran's location.

It was like a departed soul trying to reclaim the Jade Emperor's original form.

Even though Lu Ran managed to collect the enormous, unusual soul immediately, the Jade Venerable's henchmen still ignored it.
The soldiers guarding the four directions felt considerable pressure.

Fortunately, this time, the Zan Zun Dao advanced very quickly, clearly having identified its growth path.

In just three to five minutes, the fog tornado had dissipated.

"Om!!"

The Blade of Slaying the Venerable hummed loudly, giving a feeling of exhilaration.

"This is truly remarkable," Lu Ran murmured. He, who had been kneeling on the ground, was now being protected in Jiang Ruyi's hands.

Lu Ran lowered his head, looking at the buzzing and trembling top-tier divine weapon, and sighed, "If you had been able to advance earlier, our battle with Jade Corpse Mountain would probably have been a completely different story."

Upon hearing this, the Blade of Slaying the Venerable, which was still buzzing with joy, suddenly stopped.

"Heh." Lu Ran smiled, looked up and surveyed the battlefield, seeing the soldiers putting up a difficult fight. "It's not too late, it's never too late."

Jiang Ruyi naturally realized that Lu Ran had successfully advanced with his divine weapon.

But she didn't speak rashly. She just watched Lu Ran stand up, holding the knife upright in front of him with both hands.

"call!!"

A sudden storm arose.

Lu Ran's short hair flew upwards, and his black and gold imperial robe fluttered in the wind.

An invisible realm spread out, reaching a diameter of ten thousand meters.

Lu Ran slowly took off, his figure spun around, and his gaze swept over the Ranmen soldiers guarding the four directions: "Keep an eye on them, don't hurt them."

"Om~"

The Venerable Slayer Blade trembled, and within the invisible Venerable Slayer Domain, streams of energy surged wildly toward Lu Ran.

"Hmm?" Nü Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, noticing that the white jade wave rushing towards her had slowed down.

Visible streams of energy, appearing as wisps of mist, emerged from the Jade Venerable's minions and surged toward the central area behind her.

Not only the female warriors guarding the east, but also the soldiers guarding the other directions, noticed that something was wrong.

Xue Fengchen was somewhat taken aback, only to see densely packed "mist lines".

Centered on Lu Ran, within a radius of ten thousand meters, a mist thread was drawn from the body of every Jade Venerable's lackey, connecting to the Venerable Slaying Blade in his hand.

This scene was absolutely spectacular!
But it was also terrifying!

Is the sect leader absorbing the energy of all living beings?

This is too domineering and unreasonable. It's like they're just extracting divine power from the other person's body.
The growth path of the Slaying Venerable Blade is truly remarkable.

His thirst for power was repeatedly revealed to the world through the realm of divine weapons.

The First Divine Weapon Domain is a comprehensive attribute enhancement for the master of divine weapons.

The Second Divine Weapon Domain transcends the scope of amplification attributes, granting the master of the divine weapon an unshakeable domineering body.

This third divine weapon domain is to open a "Slaying Venerable Domain", which continuously draws energy from the enemy, weakening the enemy while replenishing itself.

Everything is for power!
For the sake of gaining the capital to defy superiors!
"Snap! Snap!"

The Jade Venerable's minions began to suffer extensive damage, and cracks continuously crawled out from their tyrannical jade bodies.

Essentially, minions are pure energy entities!
Lu Ran and the Zan Zun Blade are absorbing the energy of all living beings, which means, on another level, they are taking the lives of the Jade Venerable's lackeys.

That being said, the minions of gods and demons, including the gods and demons themselves, are also pure energy entities!
Lu Ran can also absorb the energy of the divine and evil sculptures.

When the energy within the bodies of gods and demons is depleted and they become weak to a certain extent, their stone bodies will continuously crack and transform into energy essence, surging towards Lu Ran.

"Snap! Snap!"

Countless Jade Emperor minions were constantly being shattered.

The massive white jade wave quickly dissipated, turning into thin lines of mist that surged toward the center of the battlefield.

Jiang Ruyi looked up, staring blankly at the young man in imperial robes standing in mid-air.

This phrase seems to have found the most perfect interpretation of "ruling the world".

A breathtaking scene unfolded!

The ever-churning, surging white jade waves, the ever-roaring, pressing white jade city walls—they have stopped!

Once, Lu Ran, wielding the Radiant Light Blade, single-handedly repelled the Paper Phoenix Clan's Night Parade of Ghosts on the night of the fifteenth. Now, Lu Ran's prowess is even greater; wielding the Venerable Slayer Blade, he has halted the Jade Venerable Clan's invasion!

Within a radius of 10,000 meters, there was no open space.

A thousand troops and horses dared not cross the line even a single step!

"Mr. Conglong." Lu Ran transmitted his voice in his mind.

"What did you say, Sect Master?" Yu Changsheng's tone clearly carried a hint of joy, obviously he had already received the news that the Jade Venerable's true form had perished.

[How is the overall situation in the Celestial Realm? I remember you still have two Great Jade Venerables there?]

All the sacred mountains are very stable! In the entire celestial battlefield, only our side has two Great Jade Venerables.

Yu Changsheng paused for a moment, then continued his report: "Their combat strength has plummeted! We seized the opportunity and captured one; its soul has been safely stored for you."

The other large jade vessel, surrounded by its minions, fled into the white jade city walls and disappeared without a trace.

【Which direction? 】

[East!] Yu Changsheng realized what Lu Ran was about to do and hurriedly warned, [Sect Master, please be extremely careful. The enemy is already at their wits' end and will surely fight to the death.]

I've extracted all her memories; now she fights purely on instinct, devoid of any experience or tactical considerations. Her soul is a blank slate.

Lu Ran spoke in a calm tone, uttering shocking words: "No matter how desperately they resist, their combat strength is only so-so."

"Yes." Yu Changsheng's expression was complicated. Even though he knew the sect leader's methods, he still couldn't help but tremble inside.

Lu Ran is now not only terrifyingly strong.

Even more despairing.

Among countless gods, who could survive his blade?
However, killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground! No matter what, it's just a life, and there will always be those who are not afraid of death.

The problem is that Lu Ran's methods have already transcended life and death.

In his hands, the souls of the dead can never be reincarnated!

Taking Yu Zun as an example, if Lu Ran doesn't want her soul to be scattered, he can nourish her spirit regularly so that she can stay in his hands forever.

The tomb is eternal and indestructible.

The imprisoned souls of the dead will naturally suffer the same fate!

Simple imprisonment is enough to break a soul; if Lu Ran were to use terrifying methods like soul fire...
Then this lost soul will truly suffer torment and torment for eternity.

Lu Ran's cruelty doesn't stop there!

What's even more appalling is that, while you're still alive, he can cross the barriers of life and blur the line between life and death, directly stripping you of your memories, leaving you as an empty shell.

Your faith, your desires, the very foundation of your existence—all of these can be wiped out by him.

Yu Changsheng had already foreseen what the extraterrestrial gods and demons might become.

Gods and demons do not have special jade bodies to protect their souls, so the sect leader does not need to turn them into lambs first when casting spells on them.

In other words, Lu Ran can strip gods and demons of everything at any time.

Furthermore, he can use various means, such as nurturing and coercion, to transform these "blank" divine and evil sculptures into whatever form he desires.

Yu Changsheng was deep in thought, while Lu Ran had already stormed into the white jade city wall east of Dragon God Mountain.

Pierce through the sea of ​​flames!
A tiny figure, engulfed in flames of overwhelming power, darted rapidly through the white jade world.

He still held the Venerable Slayer Blade in his hand, continuously activating the Ultimate Divine Weapon Domain - Venerable Slayer Domain, drawing energy from all living beings in the world.

The sounds of Jade Venerable's minions shattering were incessant, as they fell in large numbers.

【gentlemen.】

[Here!] Yu Changsheng was startled from his reverie. Hearing Lu Ran's voice again, he felt a chill run down his spine, fearing that he might accidentally transmit his thoughts to Lu Ran.

[The Jade Emperor's physical form has perished, but the colossal Jade Emperors still exist, and we do not know their exact number.]

【Hmm】Yu Changsheng quickly composed himself and nodded secretly.

Are there really only 10 enormous jade deities on the Heavenly Battlefield?

No one can give a definitive answer.

What about the other four major war zones in the world? How many enormous jade statues are there there?

Indeed, they have lost themselves, but letting them escape is ultimately a hidden danger.

What if, in the endless years to come, the enormous jade statue were to turn into a "mountain of jade corpses" again?
In addition, the henchmen can provide the enormous Jade Emperor with a lot of information!

While the Jade Venerable's henchmen do not possess the memories of their original form, at the very least, they know what their clan's goals are.

[Before the Jade Venerable's original body died, the thoughts and consciousness of the vast Jade Venerables were interconnected; it is unknown whether this remains the case now.]

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, then said, "I always have a wrathful divine rune in my hand. If I find one, should I try to ignite her wrath?"

Once she succeeds, she will be completely consumed by rage, and all the massive jade deities will no longer be able to escape; they will only perish in their madness.

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly: "They will be affected. Hmm."

Yes, it will be affected!
Times have changed, and the Jade Venerable Clan is no longer what it used to be.

Lu Ran confirmed: "[Just now, Xiao Ruyi activated the magic weapon domain, Phoenix Soaring to the Nine Heavens, and Jade Venerable lost his fighting ability due to the pain.]"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ran's eyes narrowed.

Far away at Longshen Mountain, Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

The next moment, the two simultaneously transmitted their voices to each other, with the exact same content:
[Phoenix Soul Imprint.]

[Phoenix Soul Imprint!]

Since the Faceless Jade Venerable has become just another ordinary person, she is just like the likes of the Spear Decay and the Fire Evil Monk, and can be disciplined!
Surrender!
