The Old Gods

Chapter 884 Servant of the Evil God?

"[The Ghostly Eye Evil Technique is so powerful?]" Yu Changsheng was extremely surprised.

"Is that so! I just tested it with the pomegranate fire; she's a high-level Sea Realm cultivator." Lu Ran remained seated on the cliff edge, his spirit connected to the many stone sculptures in the garden.

Yu Changsheng still found it hard to believe.

His memories of the Ghostly Clan also trace back to his time in the human world, where those shriveled, slow-moving creatures often appeared on the night of the fifteenth of the lunar month.

It has a strong "beginner village - low-level monsters" feel to it, and the combat power is also very limited.

Unexpectedly, this ninth-rank demon possessed a pair of particularly terrifying eyes.

"Young Master," Huangfu Zhao said in a deep voice, "would you like to ask the young mistress to come out of seclusion and test the limits of the Evil Art: Netherworld Eye?"

Lu Ran nodded secretly, then cautiously transmitted his voice to the Evil God: "Ruyi, should we give it a try?"

"call!!"

The evil god responded softly, creating a massive afterimage.

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked up at the evil god that blotted out the sky.

The evil god was very considerate, floating outside the cliff, his afterimage slowly descending.

Until a huge face appeared before Lu Ran.

A line suddenly popped into Lu Ran's mind: "On that day, humanity finally remembered the fear of being dominated by giants."

"bring it on."

The evil god was truly considerate, lowering his face again until his enormous eye was level with the tiny human sitting on the edge of the cliff.

"Don't we need to summon our original stone forms?" Lu Ran asked.

"Gods cannot lower themselves."

"Huh?" Lu Ran was a little confused, wondering where this came from.

"Once you possess a divine position, the afterimage that fully represents the original god or demon is no different from the original stone sculpture in terms of strength and realm," Jiang Ruyi explained softly.

"I see," Lu Ran murmured.

No wonder!
A few days ago, also at the edge of the sky, Jiang Ruyi created a physical body. At that time, Lu Ran felt that the body was not worthy of the soul it contained.

Lu Ran calmed himself down and asked, "Is this what you've been working on these past few days?"

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi gently looked at the tiny human race so close to her.

He did not run away.

Is this considered a form of growth?

"Then I'll cast the spell!" Lu Ran rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with dark, ghostly eyes.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

These eyes, if placed in the eye sockets of a ghost with dark pupils, would be terrifying, but placed in Lu Ran's eye sockets, they are exquisitely beautiful.

Its unique color resembles jade that has been deposited for thousands of years in a deep pool, gleaming with a deep, cold light.

When he cast his spell, the subtle fluctuations of divine power emanating from his eyes made his beautiful pupils appear "dusty," making one want to reach out and wipe them clean.

or.
These eyes should be removed and preserved to prevent them from being tainted by the dust of the world.

Lu Ran had no idea what Jiang Ruyi was thinking; otherwise, he might have thought of Li Rouyin.

A certain blind man had long coveted his eyes.
Lu Ran tried very hard to seduce the evil god.

If it were Liu Huo, she would have turned into a dazed doll long ago, but the afterimage of Xian Mo in front of me showed no sign of confusion whatsoever.

Instead, it seemed as if they were intently appreciating it.

Lu Ran: "."

What I'm saying is, could you please show me a little respect?

I'm bewitching you!
What are you doing again? Visiting me?

"Alright then." Lu Ran covered his eyes with one hand and gave up casting the spell.

This method is a mental output method, which not only consumes divine power but also a large amount of mental energy.

Jiang Ruyi snapped out of her daze, looked at the tiny human rubbing his eyes, and said softly, "Won't you try again?"

Lu Ran curled his lip: "Forget it, your spiritual power is like a vast ocean, I can't tear a hole in it."

Neither the Jade Talisman nor the Ghost Talisman Doll factions possess any defensive techniques.

However, the spiritual strength of the Immortal Jasmine Stone Sculpture itself was enough to keep Lu Ran out.

“There are differences in spiritual strength among gods,” Jiang Ruyi pondered. “Since Aunt Qiao has recommended it, I think the Nether Eye will have a miraculous effect on the Angry Sea Flame Dragon.”

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded.

Jiang Ruyi is indeed not an ordinary evil god.

Her true nature is that of a human; she ascends to the heavens step by step as a human, merging with the stone statue and seizing the divine position.

The greatest advantage of the human race is its terrifying mental strength!
The fact that the Evil God Immortal Jasmine could withstand Lu Ran's pupil technique does not mean that the Raging Sea Flame Dragon can!
"You just said that Lord Immortal Sheep is still not entirely satisfied with our next goal?" Jiang Ruyi suddenly asked.

"Yes."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ruyi said, "Why don't we play it safe and take down the Ghostly Eyes first?"

"A ghost with ghostly eyes?" Lu Ran subconsciously looked at Xian Mo, then rubbed his eyes again.

Jiang Ruyi noticed Lu Ran's embarrassment but didn't say anything. Her huge afterimage kept shrinking and flowing into Lu Ran's pupils, returning to the sculpture garden.

"The Evil Sculptor, the Ghostly One, has no successor, almost no independent consciousness, and belongs entirely to you." The cold voice imprinted itself on Lu Ran's mind.

"Yes." Lu Ran finally lowered his hand and looked at the waves crashing down the cliff.

"By helping the Ghostly Eyes secure a divine position, you've gained a servant of an evil god," Jiang Ruyi said softly. "When facing the raging Flame Dragon of the Raging Sea, you can ask this evil god for assistance."

Lu Ran frowned slightly.

The techniques used by the evil god are naturally of divine quality, and the raging sea flame dragon will definitely fall victim to them!
The problem is that the Ghostly Eyes only have eye techniques to offer; this race is mentally deficient and has no combat skills whatsoever.

Especially their movement speed, it's incredibly slow.
Inviting this evil god to aid in the battle is indeed a mental artillery platform, but it's also a pure target.

Anyone struck by the raging sea dragon will be pulverized!

Lu Ran expressed his concerns.

Jiang Ruyi agreed in her heart and calmly analyzed: "It's still worth a try! Once we find an opportunity in the battle, we can summon the Ghostly Eye, and the Angry Sea Flame Dragon will be immediately controlled. If we really can't find an opportunity, then we won't take the risk; consider it preparation in advance."

It will always come in handy when fighting against other gods and demons in the future.

"That's true." Lu Ran nodded.

[Slaying the Ghostly Eyes is relatively easy. If everything goes smoothly, after this battle, a few more of our soldiers will be able to advance to the third level of the Heavenly Realm.]

It seems that Jiang Ruyi wants to add some leverage.

The person she values ​​most is Leng Tianxing, a former subordinate of Yunhai!

As the successor of the Star Official - Shining Star Demon, Leng Tian summons stars specifically designed to break through armor!

Admittedly, once your technique reaches the highest level, whether you are at the first or third level, there is no qualitative difference in your spellcasting ability.

But there are still subtle improvements in the details.

Similarly, at this time, Lu Ran was at the second level of the Heavenly Realm, while You Tong Gui Xie Su was only at the first level of the Heavenly Realm.

If the Ghostly Eyes rapidly advances in cultivation and transforms into an evil god, the eye techniques Lu Ran will use in the future will all be of the highest grade within his own capabilities.

Once and for all.

"Shall we play it safe?" Lu Ran, connected spiritually with several stone sculptures in the park, thought, "Shall we deal with the Ghostly Eyes first?"

Lu Ran had always communicated with Jiang Ruyi privately.

Deng Yuxiang, Yu Changsheng, Huangfu Zhao, and Si Xianxian had just been added to the "group chat" when they heard this sentence.

Si Xianxian immediately panicked!

Why am I in the back of the line again?
As a dignified Mad Immortal Protector, it's one thing for me to be ranked behind Madam, but how dare anyone else cut in line for me?

"Who?" Si Xianxian immediately asked, "Young Master, you've taken on another disciple? Who's so foolish...cough cough, to choose to inherit the Netherworld Ghostly Blade?"

Lu Ran: "."

It must be noted that Lu Ran's relationship is one-to-many.

The false gods communicate with each other individually, only when several of the false god stone statues are gathered together in the garden, which is considered a true group chat.

"I didn't take on any disciples because I was after the evil You Tong technique," Lu Ran explained.

Si Xianxian sent another urgent message, but Lu Ran ignored it.

Since there were three people speaking at the same time, he chose Jiang Ruyi.

[Since Aunt Qiao personally reminded you, those ghostly eyes must be terrifying; it's just that you can't unleash your full power right now.]

Lu Ran: "."

I even chose you first!
That hurts.

Jiang Ruyi continued, "[It's best not to let other disciples inherit the Evil Sculpture. Keep the Ghostly Eye for yourself; let it be an evil god's servant that only obeys your orders and has little independent consciousness.]"

Hearing this, Lu Ran felt much more at ease.

[Sect Leader?]

【Ah, Mr. Cho-ryu?】

[Since your mother values ​​the Ghostly Eye so much, I think you should still make this evil statue.] Yu Changsheng's suggestion was exactly the same as Jiang Ruyi's.

Lu Ran was deeply moved upon hearing this.

With a wife like this... well, with a comrade-in-arms like this, what more could a husband ask for?!

[Alright, since we've changed our target, I'll head to the Celestial Battlefield now.] Lu Ran stood up, dusted off his sleeves, [You're permitted to gather and chat within the garden.]

Based on the characteristics of the Ghostly Eye Demon, develop a combat plan as soon as possible.

My greatsword is itching for a fight!

【Yes! 】

【Obey! 】

Si Xianxian: "."

Please give me peanuts! Is there anyone kind enough to give me peanuts?!

With special permission from the sect leader, the mad immortal stone statue, which was in the seventh row, immediately ran forward, naturally to find Lady Ranmen in the third row.

He strode forward, making a loud, thumping sound.

"Hiss!" Lu Ran gasped, "[Such a beautiful woman!]"

【what? 】

"Hey, take it easy! Trying to stomp me to death?"

【Oh.】 Si Xianxian, holding the Mad Hammer, slowly flew up.

Ah~ it feels good.

At the edge of the sky, Lu Ran stepped into the Mirror of Heaven and returned to the first level of heaven.

After learning the location of the sacred mountain where the Ghostly Eyes were from Huangfu Zhao, he immediately teleported away.

Shortly after Lu Ran left, a mist began to rise in the Tianya Haijiao area.

The fog grew thicker and thicker until even the sea breeze couldn't disperse it.

In a dark, secluded meditation room in the underground city.

A girl in a black dress knelt on the ground, her long, jet-black hair swaying gently in the intense fluctuations of divine power.

"唳~~~"

The little phoenix flew out and happily circled around the girl.

Success!
The task assigned by the master is complete!
Qiao Yuanxi held the phoenix-patterned gourd in both hands, lowered her head slightly, and gently pressed her forehead against the plump gourd.

Mom, brother.
Wait for me.

I will be able to help you very soon.

quickly.
