The Old Gods

Chapter 891 Control, or Death
Guan Yiren didn't sleep all night.

Inside the underground city, in Qiao Yuanxi's house, Qiao and Guan talked all night long, and every word that Xiao Yuanxi said challenged the limits of Guan Yiren's cognition.

Stunned, questioning, shocked.
Guan Yiren struggled to process the astonishing news before realizing just how powerful the number one genius of the Great Xia Dynasty truly was.

While she was still mired in the quagmire of the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, struggling to survive, Lu Ran and his Ranmen warriors had already begun to unsheathe their swords against the gods and demons.

He wants to restore order to the world!

That sounds incredible.

It's also incredibly exciting!
"Sister Yiren, how about joining the Burning Gate?" Qiao Yuanxi pleaded softly, clinging to Guan Yiren's arm.

Guan Yiren possesses the qualities of a follower of Jianyi: calm, wise, and decisive.

She naturally knew which decision would be most beneficial to her, and Xiao Yuanxi had clearly stated that by becoming Lu Ran's disciple, she could inherit 1-2 stone sculptures and have the qualifications to become a god!
"Sister Yiren~" Qiao Yuanxi rested her chin on the other woman's shoulder, looking at the woman's stunningly charming profile, "Please!"

Guan Yiren calmed herself down and said softly, "Of course I'm willing."

"Yay!" Qiao Yuanxi was overjoyed.

Putting aside their comradeship in life and death, Qiao Yuanxi, as the squad commander, was certainly aware of how outstanding Guan Yiren was and how high her combat skills were.

My brother will be especially happy to bring such a top-tier warrior into the Burning Gate.

But Guan Yiren looked troubled and said softly, "It's just that Sect Leader Lu..."

"Don't worry, Sister Yiren, I'm here for you!" Qiao Yuanxi said immediately. "Let's go find him now and tell him the good news!"

Guan Yiren: "Isn't it too early? Don't disturb his rest."

"Hey, let's go, let's go!" Qiao Yuanxi said without waiting for a reply, pulling Guan Yiren out of the house.

The underground city was magnificent in scale and well-organized.

The two powerful beings from the Sea Realm encountered many patrol members along the way, and Guan Yiren even met an old friend—Deng Yutang!

Back in the human world, the Rain Alley Squad and the Capital City Squad had gone down into the Demon Cave together and killed the Soul-Splitting Demon together, so they naturally recognized each other.

Both sides were a little confused when they met.

Deng Yutang naturally recognized this radiant Xia prodigy, while Guan Yiren was astonished by his strength and realm.

The former fifth-rank god, a disciple of the Red Scarf Sect, is now a second-level Sea Realm expert.

Only one rank lower than her?

The shock this brought to Guan Yiren was unimaginable to others.

Judging solely from her natural talent and aptitude, Guan Yiren is undoubtedly top-tier in the world! However, while she's top-tier in the general sense, within the Burning Gate, she would only be considered below average.
Becoming the successor of the stone sculpture would be of immense help to the human race.

Or perhaps it should be said that the lower a human's talent and aptitude, the greater the benefit they will receive from signing an inheritance contract with the stone statue?
"Don't be discouraged, Sister Yiren." Qiao Yuanxi pulled Guan Yiren away, comforting her softly, "The strength and realm of the Ranmen warriors are generally quite high, and there are many factors involved."

"Mmm," Guan Yiren responded softly.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been a genius among geniuses, a true gem!
But the Burning Gate was magnificent and resplendent!

Even the ground was paved with gold bricks.

This sense of disparity is not something that can be adjusted to in a short period of time.

Qiao Yuanxi was very considerate and explained in a low voice, "I'll just say one thing, as you've seen, when we're all gathered together, we can hitch a ride on each other's cultivation journey~"
Often, when one person advances, a series of others can follow.

Looking across the entire Three Realms, our sect boasts the most superior cultivation environment.

Guan Yiren nodded slightly and, led by Qiao Yuanxi, arrived at the surface.

As dawn broke, Guan Yiren breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, while in the underground city, she couldn't feel the passage of time, and she was afraid that it was still the middle of the night.

As the two walked through the forests on the island, they soon caught a faint scent of jasmine.

Master Lu's residence is easy to find. The island is lush with trees, but there are only a few Immortal Jasmine Trees.

"Miss." A shadowy figure appeared silently, blocking their path.

"I'm looking for my brother." Qiao Yuanxi looked at the shadow guard in front of her.

"The sect leader just left not long ago," Yingyi replied truthfully.

"Huh? So early, where did he go?" Qiao Yuanxi blinked.

Shadow One, however, remained motionless and unresponsive, like a statue.

Qiao Yuanxi hesitated for a moment, but still did not send a telepathic message. She realized that her brother had probably gone to the Heavenly Realm.

They've gone to slay the gods!

Last night's visit to Moon Shadow Heavenly Pool must have been a relaxing moment for him.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should have killed the raging sea flame dragon when he ascended to the heavenly realm this time.
Now that my brother has the Evil God Ghost Eye and a fourth-tier divine weapon, the Eight Desolations Blade, he probably won't delay any longer.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuanxi couldn't help but feel worried.

The pair of gods and demons, Lie Tian and Nu Hai Yan Jiao, are undoubtedly the most dangerous beings.

If it were even touched, it would be shattered to pieces.
"New Year's Eve?"

"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi hugged Guan Yiren's arm again and whispered, "Let's go back first."

Guan Yiren could sense the girl's sorrow, so she gently comforted her, "Good people are always protected by heaven. Besides, Sect Master Lu is very powerful, he will be fine."

"Mmm." Qiao Yuanxi composed herself and left with Guan Yiren. "We now have time to consider which stone Sister Yiren should inherit."

As Qiao Yuanxi paused, she suddenly noticed a faint mist rising from the forest.

Guan Yiren also noticed the unusual environment.

Has anyone advanced?
Just a few minutes ago, Qiao Yuanxi said that sect disciples could hitch a ride, and in the blink of an eye, the ride has arrived?
Guan Yiren looked up at the sky and saw terrifying mist tornadoes roaring down.

Before long, the ends of the earth were pitch black.

Such a scale is truly astonishing!
A believer at the peak of the River Realm breaking through to the Sea Realm would never make such a commotion! Could it be that someone at the peak of the Sea Realm has broken through a major realm and entered the Heaven Realm? "Here comes the ride~" Qiao Yuanxi was also secretly amazed, but pretended to be unsurprised. "Let's go, Sister Yiren, let's go cultivate quickly."

As a peak-level expert in the Sea Realm, Qiao Yuanxi doesn't need to cultivate; she's just one step away from gaining enlightenment.

And this realization.
Qiao Yuanxi clenched her small fists, imagining the group of people who risked their lives on the battlefield in the Heavenly Realm.

We need to advance to the Heavenly Realm as soon as possible.

The magic of the flower lantern and the evil magic of the dark lantern should be able to help him a lot.

At the same time, in the third heaven.

Lu Ran concealed his figure, standing in mid-air, gazing up at the dark cloud vortex belonging to the raging sea flame dragon.

"[My Lord Immortal Sheep, last night I tested the domain effect of a fourth-tier divine weapon, and I felt its destructive power was very strong!]" Lu Ran prayed to the god like a believer.

The ghostly being within the garden has also become an evil god, capable of wielding divine-grade eye techniques.

[Do you think it's feasible for me to go and slay the Flame Dragon now?]

After transmitting his voice, Lu Ran felt uneasy, like a child waiting for his parents' approval and permission.

A hoarse voice transmitted, its tone devoid of emotion: "Walk your own path."

Lu Ran: "."

As a colossal, raging sea dragon emerged from the vortex of dark clouds, he took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "This disciple is going!"

The deity made no further communication, and Lu Ran's figure flashed as he directly entered the vortex of dark clouds.

Suddenly, a wave of heat hit us, making us feel suffocated.

Lu Ran activated the Annihilation Evil Art: Annihilation Body early on, ignoring the high-temperature environment and even absorbing fire-attribute damage.

This gave him a lot of confidence!
"hiss"

"Roar!" Angry roars, like waves, assaulted Lu Ran's ears one after another.

He looked up and saw a sea of ​​fire filling the sky.

They also saw fireballs falling from the fiery clouds, like meteors and fire rain crashing to the ground, exploding with a loud bang.

The earth was cracked and parched, and flames were everywhere.

Only on the side of the sacred mountain stone pillar and the swirling dark clouds, did fire rain rarely fall.

"Boom! Boom!"

Following the terrifying sound, Lu Ran turned his head and saw two enormous flame dragons clashing violently.

Creatures of the same kind generally do not kill each other.

Unfortunately, the Angry Sea Flame Dragon clan is mentally deficient and extremely irritable, easily exploding at the slightest provocation.

Lu Ran took a deep look at the apocalyptic scene before flying upwards and entering the upper level of the demonic cave.

Suddenly, Lu Ran felt a darkness before his eyes!
In the upper level of the demon cave, there were no raging flames filling the sky, unlike the scorching heat of the lower level.

Holding his divine weapon, Lu Ran carefully flew backward.

In sight, a massive stone fire dragon was coiled on the stone pillar, eerily quiet.

Although described as enormous, the evil god himself was far, far smaller than the minions of the lower demon caves.

Its body length is only about 300 meters?
You should know that the body length of the Heavenly Realm minion, the Angry Sea Flame Dragon, can reach a gigantic three thousand meters!

The gap is too large.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran couldn't help but bother the deity again: [Immortal Sheep, the Angry Sea Flame Dragon clan only has 6 techniques, right? This evil sculpture won't transform into a behemoth thousands or even tens of thousands of meters tall, will it?]

The Angry Sea Flame Dragon doesn't possess such abilities; it only flaunts what it lacks.

"Are you referring to the size of the Flame Dragon minions?" Lu Ran's heart stirred slightly.

"Hmm." The Immortal Sheep responded calmly. "Within the ranks of gods and demons, there are only a handful who can transform themselves into colossal beings, and they are all among the first, second, or third-tier gods and demons."

Lu Ran nodded secretly, naturally familiar with the list of techniques for strengthening gods and demons.

First-class evil god: Jade-faced Serpent; Second-class evil god: Yin-fierce Tiger.

Third-class deity: Molten Bear; Third-class deity: Spirit Elephant.

All told, there are only four of them.

It must be noted that this refers to the transformation of oneself into a giant beast, possessing a body that can shake the heavens and the earth!
For example, Bai Rao and Yin Yan from the Ranmen sect.

Both of them, relying on the Heavenly Grade Evil Technique, can transform into a three-thousand-meter-long Celestial Python and a Black-striped White Tiger.

Once they attain godhood and are able to unleash corresponding divine techniques, their physiques will be beyond what Lu Ran can currently imagine.

As for gods and demons that can summon enormous creatures or giant phantoms, there are countless examples of that.

[My Lord Immortal Sheep, I'm confirming again: my Mad Immortal Protector, who inherited the power of the Blazing Heaven Divine Sculpture, can indeed possess the evil magic of the Flaming Flood Dragon after devouring its soul, right?]

【Um. 】

After confirming it again, Lu Ran felt much more at ease.

Other false gods could only replenish their own strength by devouring the soul of the raging sea flame dragon, but only the mad immortal stone sculpture with the base color of raging heaven could take everything away from the raging sea flame dragon after devouring its soul!
[Lu Ran.] The immortal sheep suddenly descended and transmitted its voice, unusually taking the initiative to speak.

"[Lord Immortal Sheep?]" Lu Ran quickly replied.

"You must control it until it dies." The voice was low and extremely serious. "If you can't control it, you're dead."

Lu Ran's expression turned solemn, his eyes resolute: 【Yes!】

It's the first day of the month, so I'm asking for some monthly votes.
