The Old Gods

Chapter 865 The Jade Venerable Himself?!
Dark clouds covered the sky, making it gloomy.

A graceful figure, carrying ten green lanterns, flies forward with an umbrella.

A young man, concealed, followed stealthily.

Based on the direction of the surging sea of ​​fog on the ground, Lu Ran knew that Qingying was heading southeast.

Where is she going?

"Buzz~" The Silent Night Blade at his waist suddenly vibrated again.

[What?] Lu Ran lowered his hand and gently gripped the hilt of the knife.

It's getting closer.

【Huh?】Lu Ran was taken aback.

Is that divine weapon that suppresses the Silent Night Blade and prevents it from cultivating its domain in the southeast?
Lu Ran looked at the woman flying ahead in the distance.

Ms. Qingying

Where are you taking me?
At the same time, a fleeting, unrealistic fantasy arose in Lu Ran's mind.

It has been proven that there are also human believers in the Third Heaven.

If that's the case, could the divine weapon with the "Silence Domain" also be in the hands of a human?

With beautiful fantasies in mind, Lu Ran followed Qingying and flew ahead for a long time.

Finally, he saw his destination!

Another sacred mountain!
Unlike the desolate sacred mountain we arrived at, this place seems like a battlefield.

Lu Ran strained his eyes to gaze at the sacred mountain dozens of kilometers away. The "shining white dots" flying all over the sky should be giant faceless jade statues.

Those towering city walls.
No, that's not a city wall, it looks like a bronze barrier.
"Whoa?" Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and saw a huge afterimage.

Black armor and long red ribbons fluttering in the wind.

This distinctive attire confirmed Lu Ran's suspicions—it was Nv Ying!
"Buzz!" The Silent Night Blade trembled again.

Lu Ran pursed his lips tightly.

Don't tell me that the knife is in Nüying's hands!

Third-Class Goddess, Nüying!
A rare complete entity within the Great Xia God and Demon System.

She didn't reveal her demonic side, which is enough to imagine how powerful she is!
You really can't define Nüying as a "third-class goddess".

She was relegated to the third row because of her nature and because her standards for accepting apprentices were outrageously high.

The influence of the Nüying faction in human society is indeed not great; some people live their entire lives without ever seeing a single Nüying disciple.

Because the entire female-led faction of Ying has been handed over to the state!

The disciples of this sect are mostly based in the deepest part of the demon's lair, and they are at the forefront of the battlefield.
If we're really talking about contributions to the human race, the female warriors' faction is definitely in the top tier.

Unfortunately, in every era, there is always a strange phenomenon.

Those who truly sacrifice their lives and make selfless contributions are always unknown.

Considering all these factors, the goddess Nüying was not placed in the first two rows, and this complete deity, if she were to wield a silent weapon...
"Damn it!" Lu Ran cursed inwardly.

He glanced at Qingying, who was still flying ahead, and then teleported directly to the Divine Mountain area.

In an instant, a wave of noise swept in!
"Oh!" Lu Ran's mouth opened into an "o" shape.

The intensity of the battlefield far exceeded his expectations.

From the swirling dark clouds atop the sacred mountain, one after another, female warriors in black armor and red ribbons fell.

It's like boiling dumplings in a pot!
Lu Ran quickly surveyed the battlefield and realized that this was not the "Battle to Defend the Divine Mountain," but rather the front line of the battlefield.

Countless bronze barriers spread out to both sides, with the magnificent sacred mountain as the base.

Nüying, as one of the few complete beings in the god-demon system, can summon illusory divine minions as well as flesh-and-blood demonic minions.

Lu Ran witnessed firsthand how female generals, clad in black armor and with red ribbons tied around their heads, supported by illusory figures identical to themselves, fought side by side in a bloody battle.

They built massive bronze barriers that stretched to the horizon of Lu Ran's vision.

Simply incredible!

How good are Lu Ran's eyesight, like a dog's eyes?
The towering bronze barrier stretched endlessly, disappearing into the distance! How many female warriors would that require?

The bronze barrier is engraved with countless portraits of figures, all clad in armor, representing deceased soldiers.

Goddess of Heroes - Wall of Heroic Souls!
That being said, the Faceless Jade Venerable clan possesses the ability to fly, and no matter how high the Heroic Soul Wall is, it cannot stop the Jade Venerable.

But they seemed to be doing it on purpose, not with the aim of crossing the defense line, but simply to frantically slaughter the gods' minions.

Moreover, among the walls of heroes, one can see everywhere illusory, enormous weapon tombs!

Various remnants of soldiers kept flying out of the tomb, swarming and killing enemies.

Arrows and crossbows were aimed at the eyes.

The spear pierced his heart.

Swords and blades will behead!
The ear-piercing sounds of clashing weapons were continuous and incessant, and the battle roars of the black-armored female general made Lu Ran's blood boil!
The phrase "united as one" was given a concrete manifestation at this moment.

Lu Ran utterly despised gods and demons.

But at this moment, he had to admit that he was moved by the scene of guarding the battlefield.

One bronze barrier broke, and the other was quickly erected.

One of the black-armored female generals was trampled and blasted through by the enemy, and another female general immediately took her place!
Like a needle tip or a wheat awn.

The cycle of life and death.

Only that defensive line seemed to exist forever, refusing to move back even half a meter!
"what!"

"Haaah!!" Amidst the roars, endless divine blood splattered.

Almost all of the female warriors in red robes had their black armor torn.

Even female warriors who have just fallen from the vortex in the sky and joined the battlefield will immediately tear their armor and flesh apart by self-harm.

This led to the divine blood being spilled on the battlefield.

The female hero's magic and black armor are in mourning!

The female warrior faction can deliberately tear their armor and bleed, causing their divine blood to spray into mist. All friendly troops stained with the blood mist will enter a state of "shared grief".

Within certain limits, we share the burden of harm.

Furthermore, each attack comes with a life-steal effect.

Unfortunately, the enemy was the Faceless Jade Venerable, whose entire body was made of jade, but it was enough to absorb the damage. "My God!" Lu Ran was completely shocked.

Where have I ever seen such a spectacle?

The battles to defend the sacred mountain within the first and second heavens were also very fierce.

But compared to what's happening now, it's still inferior.

"call!!"

A massive afterimage of Nüying flew out from the sacred mountain.

Lu Ran was completely captivated at first glance.

Although she was clearly an afterimage of a god, her black armor still showed signs of battle damage, revealing numerous wounds.

She had an exceptionally upright posture, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and exuded a strong sense of heroism.

Because of her enormous size, the long red ribbons fluttering behind her seemed to tear a bloody gash in the sky shrouded in dark clouds.

She wielded a blood-stained blade and swiftly swept across the sky above the battle line.

Wherever it passed, it cut down countless jade artifacts as easily as mowing grass.

It deeply shocked Lu Ran.

"Wang Longxiang," Lu Ran murmured, silently calling upon his dragon god general, "I have seen the divine version of you."

Such a respectable and formidable general.

Why would they collude with gods and demons?

Lu Ran's thoughts were very complicated. He was genuinely willing to respect a soldier who was fighting to the death on the battlefield, but the other party's identity repeatedly reminded Lu Ran not to be deceived by appearances.

"Buzz!" The Silent Night Blade trembled violently.

"Is that the knife?" Lu Ran asked solemnly, staring at the blood-stained blade in the hand of the enormous afterimage.

The afterimage of a deity is an illusion.

But that knife clearly had a physical form.

"That's it!" Ji Ye Dao said in a deep voice, very confident.

Lu Ran silently flew backward.

He was afraid that the other party would unleash a silence field, causing him to reveal his true form.

Currently, he is unable to help Ji Ye Dao realize his dream.

The good news is that countless souls perished on the battlefield, which Lu Ran could then devour.

【Sister Xian'er.】

"I'm here! Young Master, I'm here!" Si Xianxian quickly responded, seemingly bursting with frustration.

The false gods in the sculpture garden all have physical bodies and have grown stronger through battles on the battlefield of the heavens.

Only the Mad Immortal Protector could only stay in the garden, and dared not make any rash moves, for fear of disturbing Lu Ran.

【Dinner's ready!】

【Yes, yes, I've already opened my mouth! Come on, come on!】Si Xianxian responded hurriedly.

Lu Ran distanced himself from the afterimage of the god and flashed towards the distant front line.

swallow!
Swallow it all up!

The battlefield is dangerous, and every step is fraught with peril.

Lu Ran, however, seemed to be in his element, keeping a close eye on everything around him and secretly seizing resources.

This so-called "front line" was clearly dominated by the female warrior faction, although other demons and monsters could also be seen, but in relatively small numbers.

He also discovered that the female henchmen did not carry anything like soul jade.

Don't they draw upon the souls of the dead or plunder resources?
Soon, Lu Ran found out why.

The divine afterimage personally patrolled the battle line, not only slaying enemies wherever it went, but also absorbing the souls of the dead.

In this way, the remaining divine minions mixed in with the battle lines are more like toothpick birds picking the teeth of crocodiles, filling their bellies with the tacit approval of the afterimage of the female warrior.

Qingying was one of them.

Lu Ran, who was secretly causing trouble, saw Qingying carrying ten green lamps and joining the defensive line.

But this isn't her home turf!
Her effective methods of fighting the enemy, Green Lamp Ash + Thousand Drops of Rain, could not be used.

Because the diffused lamp ash would interfere with the female henchmen's vision.

If a little bird wants to peck some scraps of food from a giant crocodile's mouth, it has to follow the rules.

Qingying felt very frustrated.

All we can do is defend ourselves and try to stay alive.

Here, the Faceless Jade Venerable is no longer the greatest danger. The Divine Art of Ten Thousand Soldiers' Tomb from the Nüying Sect, with its countless remnants of soldiers, could take Qingying's life at any moment.

But Qingying cannot be allowed to leave.

Not only could she not retreat, but she also had to brave a hail of bullets to protect the evil spirit, the Green Lantern, and draw upon the souls of the dead for Lord Chenghua.

Her predicament seemed endless.

No matter when or where you are.

Lu Ran observed silently for a moment, then continued to plunder the souls of the dead.

After an unknown amount of time, a huge figure flew rapidly from the dark sky in the distance.

Lu Ran spotted the other party immediately.

At first glance, he thought he was seeing things, but as the other person rapidly approached, Lu Ran's eyes gradually widened.

A faceless jade vessel?!
It wasn't an afterimage, but a massive jade sculpture!

The dim sky in the southeast was illuminated by a dazzling, shimmering white light.

"what??"

Lu Ran was utterly horrified.

Could this be the true form of the Faceless Jade Venerable?
Can't? !
