The Old Gods

Chapter 837 Yunhai's Former Deputies?!
This journey south was thrilling but ultimately safe.

Yin Yan only realized later just how terrifying the young man she was following truly was.

For most of the gods and demons' minions, the Faceless Jade Venerable was virtually invincible!

A disciple of the second-class evil god Yin Li Hu, like Yin Yan, can indeed defeat external enemies, but it takes a lot of effort, and if one is not careful, he will lose his life.

Ultimately, on the battlefield of the celestial realm, only a minority of divine and demonic forces are capable of defeating external enemies.

But Lu Ran
Two knives!

At most three cuts!

The faceless jade vessel will shatter and vanish into nothingness.

Precise and ruthless, so sharp it's chilling.

Whenever Yin Yan thought she understood Lu Ran's strength, he would always break through her understanding with his decisive and ruthless killing.

One knife, one sword, one person.

There were no fancy techniques, only pure killing.

Yin Yan gradually realized why her beloved held the Cloud Sea Sect Master in such high esteem.

She was not fortunate enough to witness Qiao Wanjun's unparalleled elegance firsthand, but in the son of the Qiao Sect Leader, Yin Yan seemed to see the shadow of a god.

A rising new god.

Gods who wield power over killing
But this god of death was not violent and tyrannical; on the contrary, he was somewhat... well, mild-mannered?

Yes, his toughness was never expressed in words or in his attitude toward subordinates, but rather in the sword he brandished against his enemies.

Yin Yan was also somewhat dazed.

She had worshipped the evil god Yin Li Hu for many years, and knew the saying that serving a ruler was like serving a tiger. She had long been accustomed to humiliation and to silently enduring it.

But with her new master, she felt respected.

Even care and concern!

Having been a slave for so many years, Yin Yan has forgotten that she is a human being.

As she traveled south with the young man in the straw raincoat and continued to interact with him, her new master gradually pieced together her shattered personality and trampled self-esteem, returning them to her.

An idea popped into Yin Yan's mind:
In the darkness, the green mountains offer their protection!
That sword of longing was a testament to her unwavering devotion to her beloved, even unto death, and the final protection left to her after Qingshan's passing.

This led her to find such a leader.

A young man who wants to lead her to slay gods.

A young man said that when the time was right, he would bestow upon her the Evil Sculpture Tiger and elevate her to the temple.
Lu Ran did indeed grant Yin Yan a shrine to evil.

However, with Mr. Long's advice still ringing in his ears, Lu Ran did not intend to give the Divine Sculpture Mountain Lord to Yin Yan.

The Mountain King's faction excels in perception, speed, and strength!

This stone sculpture is enough for Lu Ran to ensure the stability of his core combat system.

In contrast, the Yinlu Tiger clan only possesses perception. It replaces the amplification of speed with a pair of tiger wings and the art of transforming into wind, and replaces the amplification of strength with sharp tiger claws.

It seems that when the gods and demons separated, they fought tooth and nail to form the current situation.

"Whoo~"

Suddenly, a strange wind swept across a huge stone peak.

A woman in black appeared behind the young man in the straw raincoat, piecing together the words: "Sect Master, this battlefield is quite large, extremely intense, and far too chaotic. I do not recommend that you take action."

Yin Yan wanted Lu Ran to retreat, but her ingrained habit of associating with tigers prevented her from making such disrespectful remarks.

"Hmm." Lu Ran stood behind the stone peak, gazing at the distant sky.

The sky in the heavens is always shrouded in a sea of ​​clouds, a hazy grayness.

Here, the sea of ​​clouds was dyed a deep purple, with electric currents meandering and weaving into a dense web of lightning!

Terrifying!

In the clouds filled with electric currents, countless thunderbirds swooped down, bombarding the enemy relentlessly!
Another series of terrifyingly large halberds stabbed down rapidly.

The scene was so horrific that it would terrify anyone.

Previously, at the Flower Sea Divine Mountain, Lu Ran had seen the Night Demon Clan carrying the North Wind minions, freely unleashing wind blades.

Here, Lu Ran saw thunderous roc birds, each carrying Dongting minions, summoning thunderous battle halberds with great fanfare.

What's even more chilling is that beneath the thick purple clouds and amidst the fine lightning, faceless jade deities continue to wreak havoc!

These white jade sculptures are outrageously powerful.

The lightning didn't make their bodies go numb. Was it because their bodies were made of jade?

The lightning was fine and dense, and flocks of thunderbirds flew around.

The faceless jade deities roamed freely within, relentlessly pursuing the Purple Thunder Demon Roc. Battle casualties were inevitable, but they seemed to be aiming for mutual destruction.

I really have no idea what happened here.

Previously, at the Flower Sea Divine Mountain, after the Night Demon-North Wind minions mobilized in full force, the Faceless Jade Venerable wisely retreated and did not linger in battle.

But here
It was precisely because of this that Lu Ran saw many souls through his Eyes of the Dead.

Delicious ghosts!
This must be the opportunity for Feng Tiandi to enter the second level of the Heavenly Realm.

"It seems we're very close to Thunder God Mountain," Lu Ran said softly.

“It should be.” Yin Yan stood behind Lu Ran, cautiously observing the area behind her. “Open a cave for me.” Lu Ran lightly stomped his foot.

"Yes." Yin Yan didn't say a word. She bent down and reached out. Her hands were like fierce tiger claws. She tore through the mountain and fell into it.

Before long, a dark voice came from below: "Sect Master, please."

Lu Ran gazed deeply at the distant battlefield in the sky, took a step back, and plunged into the tunnel, landing steadily in the sea of ​​fog: "You wait here, I'll go take a look around."

"Sect Master!" Yin Yan's heart tightened, but before she could finish speaking, the young man pressed a hand on her shoulder.

Lu Ran looked into her dark, inky eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

When they first met, her eyes were full of malice, and she couldn't suppress the murderous intent in her chest.

Now, when she looks at him again, there is a hint of worry in her eyes.

Not bad!

This is the attitude a comrade-in-arms should have.

Yin Yan's eyes suddenly narrowed! The young man in front of her had vanished abruptly, but the hand that had been on her shoulder was still there.

In the past ten days or so, Lu Ran only gave her two small carp, one black and one gold, when they reunited, and did not use any other techniques after that.

The sudden ability to become invisible caught Yin Yan completely off guard.

"Be on guard, stay in touch, and wait for me here." As soon as she finished speaking, half of the tiger tally floated into her palm.

Yin Yan realized that Lu Ran had left without any apparent path; he must have teleported away!
This is a deity.
Do they possess all divine and evil magic?

Yes, he said before that he would give her the Yin Li Hu Xie Tuan.

So, is the new master I'm following an existence above all the gods?
At the same time, Lu Ran appeared in the sky, his eyes wide open, and he spotted a Jade Venerable's soul on the edge of the battlefield. He then flashed away alone.

"Hmm?" The faceless Jade Venerable's ghost was still observing the battlefield when he suddenly sensed a suction force.

The departed soul turned its head to look, but could see nothing.

Just a few seconds later, she had entered a misty sculpture garden, where she was held in the palm of a huge goddess sculpture and merged into the stone sculpture.

【This Lu Ran, this energy of the dead.】 He Qifeng was shocked.

Since following Lu Ran into the Heavenly Battlefield, she has been constantly fed, and the energy she just absorbed far exceeds that of any other soul Lu Ran has sent in the past!
【Shh!】 Lu Ran stood in mid-air, his expression solemn.

Even on the edge of the battlefield, he was still dodging lightning strikes from the sky.

Lu Ran finally understood why the once invincible Dongting-Ziting Demon Roc minions had suffered such severe battle losses.

The Demonic Purple Thunder Roc uses evil magic, mostly area-of-effect skills, and it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.

This race has no means of defense, nor the ability to resist lightning.

As a result, a significant number of the Purple Thunder Demon Rocs were grazed by the lightning of their allies, which hindered their movement and led to their cruel slaughter by the Faceless Jade Venerable.

Unlike the North Wind-Night Phantom minions, the East Thunder-Purple Thunder Demon Roc minions are simply not suitable for large-scale troop operations!
If that's the case, how exactly did a battlefield of this scale develop?
The divine minions do not retreat because they are guarding the sacred mountain?

The faceless jade vessel did not retreat because there was an opportunity to take advantage of it?

Lu Ran secretly pondered as he continued to traverse the edge of the battlefield, stealthily snatching away the souls of the dead.

He may not be afraid of lightning, but there is one condition—he must stand firmly on the ground!
Now the battlefield is in the sky, and the dead are floating in the air, so Lu Ran can only be extremely careful.

"Oh my god." The more Lu Ran tried to cause trouble, the more alarmed he became.

The battlefield was far larger than he had imagined!
Lu Ran came from the northwest, and as he continued to travel around the field, he came to see the real battlefield in the east.

Far to the east, the Faceless Jade Venerable clan continues to attack.

In the area of ​​the sacred mountain shrouded in purple thunderclouds, demonic minions continued to fly out and join the battle.

How good are Lu Ran's eyesight?

Even though he was on the edge of the battlefield, he couldn't see the appearance of the sacred mountain very clearly, which shows how vast the battlefield was.

Without a doubt, this is a large-scale war!
"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed.

For him, this was a veritable feast.
"Om!!"

Suddenly, Lu Ran's brain buzzed, and the stone sculpture of Emperor Fengtian in the sculpture park trembled.

it is good!
Lu Ran immediately dove backward, intending to make some adjustments, when suddenly, a flash of lightning caught his eye.

Ground units?

That's quite unusual!
Since both sides in the war were flying in the air, the creatures moving through the fog on the ground were very eye-catching.

Are they human believers?
Lu Ran's heart stirred, and he followed the swift light, his figure flashing away.

The purple lightning bolt circled behind a faceless jade deity flying at low altitude, at which point its figure finally paused.

Was it a middle-aged man?
Before Lu Ran could get a good look, the other party suddenly stopped and sped off, his body crackling with electricity, and circled the faceless jade statue halfway around.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and finally saw the other person's appearance clearly.

The man appeared to be in his forties or fifties, with a handsome appearance and striking features.

His solemn face and the beard he wore gave him a look reminiscent of the ancients.

He wore a deep purple robe with gold arm guards and a gold crown to bind his hair.

Exuding nobility and majesty!

What's even more striking is that he wasn't wielding a halberd, but rather a longsword wreathed in purple lightning.
Lu Ran's pupils contracted slightly!
That image, that outfit.
The key is not to use the halberd, but the Purple Lightning Longsword?
Huangfu, a former subordinate of Yunhai?!
