The Old Gods

Chapter 878 The sky has changed
"[Backwards! Further back, diagonally behind.]" Lu Ran commanded.

It must be admitted that the Jade-Faced Snake clan is truly ferocious!
Ordinary divine or evil spells, no matter how powerful their effects, cannot affect anything within the dimension of the dead.

However, the Jade-Faced Serpent Evil Technique, Immortal Python Devouring the Sky, can even devour the souls of the dead!

"Whoo~"

Jiang Ruyi, her phoenix robes fluttering, flew through the thick fog following Lu Ran's guidance.

These are all pure Holy Spirit energy!

It is the primordial energy that constitutes the original form of the stone sculpture of gods and demons!

For any false god, it is the ultimate tonic.

However, it was precisely because of the limitation of her identity as a "false god" that when Jiang Ruyi reached the third level of the Heavenly Realm, she had already reached the pinnacle and there was no possibility of further improvement.

This coveted primordial energy can only make up for the losses of the Fairy Jasmine Stone Sculpture.

However, in the next moment, something appeared that allowed her to "take things to the next level".

"Ok?"

As Jiang Ruyi stopped flying, she sensed an even denser energy body within the already pure Origin Qi mist!

"Woooooo~"

"Waaah!" The ghost doll cried and wailed as it was sucked diagonally upward by the giant snake's mouth, only to be intercepted halfway and absorbed into the stone body of a goddess statue with a phoenix robe fluttering in the wind.

"Buzz!" The fairy jade sculpture suddenly trembled.

Jiang Ruyi opened her stone eyes wide, her body trembling.

As she devoured the two souls, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

fantastic.

It felt as if something had landed on me.

Sometimes it's very heavy, sometimes it's very light.

When it's heavy, it's like Mount Tai pressing down on her, trying to crush her stone body and completely destroy her.

When it's light, it's like a feather, carrying her as if she's about to ascend to heaven.

"Snap! Snap!"

Lu Ran was startled. He heard the sound of the stone sculpture shattering and saw cracks appear on the surface of the Immortal Jasmine Stone Sculpture.

this.?

what's the situation?
Could it be that Xiao Ruyi can't withstand the backlash from two divine souls and is about to explode and die?

【Ruyi?】Lu Ran's heart was in his throat.

【Come.】

【what? 】

"Come over here." Jiang Ruyi's words were halting and labored.

Lu Ran immediately teleported inside.

As a human, he was unable to smoothly cultivate the Holy Spirit Qi, so he always restrained himself and refused to touch the mist, instead letting the pseudo-god stone sculptures devour the precious resources.

Now that Xiao Ruyi has spoken, Lu Ran has no choice but to venture into the fog.

As soon as he entered, he couldn't catch his breath and started coughing.

Damn it!
Is the energy concentration really that high?
"Crack!!"

The fairy stone sculpture suddenly exploded.

Lu Ran subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face.

A terrifying energy swept across his arm, flowed through his fingers, and surged wildly into his eyes.

Lu Ran: !!!
Thick fog descended upon the sculpture garden of gods and demons.

A pair of stone feet were slowly pieced together. The lower legs had just appeared when they broke apart again, turning into pure energy.

The stone robe had just been pieced together to form sleeves when it cracked again and shattered once more.

This scene is extremely strange.

The stone sculptures of Xianmo are constantly broken and reassembled, broken and reassembled again.

It seemed as if something was preventing Jiang Ruyi from piecing things together.

"Snapped!"

Inside the demon's lair, Deng Yuxiang stood in front of the celestial python's gaping maw, while a giant stone hand grasped the tiny human.

"Uh." Lu Ran's face turned pale, and his brain was buzzing.

The dense aura of the Holy Spirit, like a torrent, washed over his body. Some of it was absorbed into Deng Yuxiang's body, while some slipped through her fingers and continued towards Bai Rao's snake mouth.

Lu Ran then realized that his physical body had received unprecedented nourishment!
Giving him the breath of the Holy Spirit would indeed be a waste.

But
This is so awesome!

If I experience more moments like this, wouldn't I be able to advance to the third level of the Heavenly Realm very quickly?

"hiss!"

The colossal python suddenly hissed, and its massive body trembled.

Has Fengrao Stone Sculpture been upgraded?
They've progressed from the second level of the Heavenly Realm to the third!

Lu Ran suddenly felt a clearing before his eyes, and the energy released from the broken ghost talisman doll was completely absorbed.

In the distance, several pseudo-god stone statues were still shrouded in mist, greedily absorbing the energy released from the shattered ghost talisman boy doll.

Now we can see how fast everyone is devouring.

"Don't stop, Aunt Bai! Keep going!" Lu Ran hurriedly ordered, urging Deng Yuxiang to hurry to the place where the ghost talisman boy had fallen.

"hiss"

The colossal python only needed to slightly change direction and turn its head to inhale the holy energy again.

Even at crucial moments like advancing in rank, it can still devour energy in large gulps!

What is a snake game?

"Sect Master, quickly recall the Shadow Protector, let's go." Yu Changsheng suggested hastily, seeing that he had absorbed enough energy.

Don't stay here for long!

"Come back, everyone." Lu Ran immediately ordered, then gasped.

I go
The return of the stone sculptures that divided up the energy, such as Nightmare, Dragon, Mad Immortal, and Xuan Shuang, is not a big deal.

But as soon as the Fengrao Stone Sculpture entered the park, Lu Ran's mind almost exploded!

On the side of the gods within the garden, Xianmo was constantly piecing together and reorganizing.

Now, another ravenously trembling, greedy snake has appeared on the demonic side.
"Shu~"

Lu Ran's figure flashed, and he returned to the place where he had been hiding.

He braced his buzzing brain and looked up, only to see the evil guardian in a "T" shape, with his left and right hands each touching a huge stone talisman, his figure flashing continuously.

With her teleporting repeatedly, the stone talisman had absolutely no chance of escape. One against two!

Even if the stone talisman were to fly away by chance, Yan Shuangzi could teleport it back.

The poor fourth-tier magic artifact encountered an unreasonable and vicious dog.

On another note, when Lu Ran ripped off Peak Master Tu's shoes, he was just as unreasonable.
"Boom!"

Lu Ran swung a hammer shadow, deliberately lowering the technique to the Jiang grade, and did not activate the Blazing Heavenly Might.

After all, he didn't want to actually shatter the magical artifact.

"The evil god and the ghost talisman are dead. From now on, you two will follow the new master and the new evil god! If you dare to disobey again, you two will die too!"

Lu Ran's words were unusually blunt and chilling.

Under such threats, the two stone talismans were indeed much safer.

Lu Ran took out the Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd and commanded, "Stop flashing! Shadowy creatures, if they dare to fly around again, cut them to pieces!"

"Yes!" Yan Shuangzi replied, as the two huge stone talismans continued to shrink and were sucked into her stomach by the gourd.

"Uh." Lu Ran grabbed a tree trunk with one hand and shook his head vigorously.

Normally, he could barely maintain his composure even with the two stone statues trembling in his mind.

This time is different.

The stone sculpture of Xianmo was practically killing him.

Little as a memory,

Why am I the one suffering when you've become a god?

No, I'll have to get it back someday.
Lu Ran let out a long sigh of relief, reached forward with one hand, and summoned an ancient bronze mirror.

"Hmm?" He frowned, as if someone was talking to him, but he couldn't hear clearly.

Lu Ran gripped the Mirror of Karma, cautiously observing his surroundings, when suddenly his eyes narrowed.

The next moment, his figure vanished without a trace.

In the far distance, against the backdrop of the starry sky, a gigantic head emerged.

Is that a divine afterimage?
As the afterimage continued to fly upwards, Lu Ran clenched his fists.

It was the image of a middle-aged man, wearing a snow-white cloak, with a stern face and a majestic presence.

The afterimage was surrounded by four illusory white jade tablets, each engraved with strange runes, and each tablet was wrapped with fine sand, frost, electric current, and sparks.

Divine Jade Talisman!

Lu Ran had personally witnessed the afterimage of the jade talisman.

That was during her second year of high school. On the altar where everyone was focused, Jiang Ruyi offered a third-class divine jade talisman and a second-class divine celestial phoenix.

At that time, Xiao Ruyi dreamed of becoming a disciple of Jianyi, but things didn't go as planned.

Under the watchful eyes of the two deities, Tianluan and Yufu, Jiang Ruyi made an extremely bold decision that caused a sensation throughout the entire school.

She actually gave up the second-class god and chose the third-class god, the Jade Talisman!
He chose the divine sect that Lu Ran had always dreamed of.

However, despite possessing the qualifications of a second-class divine and demonic disciple, Jiang Ruyi was ultimately ruthlessly thrown into the Holy Spirit Mountain by Lord Yu Fu.

"Jade talisman." Lu Ran concealed his presence, clenching his fist.

The deity that Father Lu Xing devoutly worshipped.

It was also the god that Lu Ran himself worshipped day and night.

Now everything is over.

"Buzz!!" The Demon Cave trembled.

Yu Fu kept looking around, his perpetually cold face revealing a look of shock and anger.

The stone pillars connecting the sacred mountain are still there, but the pair of evil-looking ghost dolls have disappeared without a trace.

The ground was churned up into a mess, solidifying into the shape of a quicksand vortex.

Thanks to the divine-grade Earth-Collapse Talismans, each covering a diameter of three thousand meters, they powerfully encompassed the battlefield terrain. Otherwise, attacks like the Flowing Sand River and Flaming Hammer Shadow would have inevitably left marks on the ground.

In the far distance, in the mountains and forests, one could hear the cries of children.

Once a demonic minion is created, it is an independent entity and will not dissipate unless it dies.

However, the jade talisman could sense that no new demonic minions had appeared in the demon cave.

The abundant energy remaining in the world, including the terrain and environment, all indicate that a great battle has just taken place here.

And that empty stone pillar seems to be conveying a cruel truth:

The Evil God Ghost Talisman Doll is dead.

died? !
No.

how can that be!

The jade talisman's afterimage stood in mid-air, gazing at the chaotic battlefield.

His cold, stern face shifted from surprise to anger, and then from anger back to surprise.

The ghost doll can't just run around randomly. On this night of the fifteenth, the evil god should create minions to invade the human world and enjoy a gluttonous feast.

Was the ghost doll attacked by an enemy?

So that's why you ran away?
"Whoo~"

The afterimage of the jade talisman flew towards the distant quicksand vortex terrain. Even with a lot of supporting evidence, they still refused to believe that the evil god had fallen.

The high and mighty deity seemed more inclined to believe that the ghost doll had been ambushed by an enemy and, due to its weakness, had fled the place.

"Crack!!"

The afterimage of the jade talisman suddenly stopped, and it turned to look behind it.

The stone pillar where the Evil Sculpture Ghost Talisman Doll had once stood was now shattered.

It broke little by little.

Until it exploded with a deafening roar!

Yu Fu stared intently at the location where the stone pillar had broken!
If the evil god still exists and his divine position remains, this stone pillar connecting the sacred mountain and the demon's lair, which belongs exclusively to the ghost doll, will not break.

In other words.
Yu Fu's face was extremely pale.

No matter how unwilling he is to admit it, objective facts cannot be changed according to his will.

Even if the jade talisman is a god!
Everything is truly happening.

The stone pillars that once connected the upper and lower levels of the Demon Cave are gone, and the "starry sky curtain" spread out beside the stone pillars is also shrinking.

Under Yu Fu's watchful gaze, the starry sky curtain lost all its energy and vanished completely.

Meanwhile, on Mount Fusha in the third heaven, one of the mountain peaks that had protruded into the vortex of dark clouds shattered with a deafening roar.

The swirling dark clouds gradually subsided.
day,
