The Old Gods

Chapter 910 The Great Evil Shadow

Lu Ran was unaware of the turmoil and chaos in the world.

After stealing the souls of the Greedy Wolf and the Vicious Dog, Lu Ran quickly returned to Holy Spirit Mountain and Tianya Residence, entering a state of mental retardation.

The holy energy emanating from the two deities was quite substantial.

Especially the Greedy Wolf!
He truly lived up to the word "greed".

Its body contains an extremely rich source of primordial energy, far surpassing that of any evil god.

Under normal circumstances, when an evil god falls, the Burning Gate can use its divine soul to create a new god, and use its source energy to cultivate two more pseudo-gods to advance to the third level of the Heavenly Realm.

The primordial energy that Tanlang bestowed upon the Burning Gate was enough for the four pseudo-gods at the second level of the Heavenly Realm to advance further.

Ranmen is truly full!

Lu Ran really suffered.
With Jiang Ruyi, the mistress, managing the back garden, he was naturally very at ease. The pseudo-gods in the garden advanced in batches and in an orderly manner, which kept Lu Ran in a state of mental disability.

Lu Ran finally awoke from his deep sleep on the 28th day of the tenth lunar month.

"Uh," Lu Ran opened his sleepy eyes and realized that the room was still shrouded in thick fog.

The advancement time for a Celestial Realm expert is truly quite long.

Lu Ran paused for a while, then gently clenched his fist.

On the low table in the study, the gourd with the phoenix pattern floated up automatically, passing through the hall and into the bedroom.

"Snapped."

Lu Ran hugged the magic gourd to his chest: "Little Chi Feng, you have to step up your game. If this keeps up, I'm really going to be ruined."

He woke up from a dream, not from a state of mental lapse.

In other words, Lu Ran fainted again.

He thought he had developed some tolerance, but the sudden appearance of the Evil Shadow Protector made Lu Ran experience once again what it meant to have a splitting headache and feel like he was dying.

"Buzz~" The magic gourd trembled slightly, conveying a hint of grievance.

Little Phoenix certainly wanted to help its master, but advancing to the fourth rank was not so easy.

Lu Ran sat up, leaning against the headboard, holding the treasure gourd in both hands: "According to the rules, the fourth rank is divine grade. When you reach the level of gods and demons, the energy you use is holy spirit energy."

The phoenix-patterned gourd bounced up and down in Lu Ran's palm.

It was hard to tell whether Xiao Chifeng was nodding in confirmation or mistaking Lu Ran's palm for a trampoline.

"Perhaps this is the direction you're heading?" Lu Ran speculated.

The magic gourd tilted slightly, as if it were tilting its little head.

Lu Ran pondered and said, "You are currently at the third level. Whether you are absorbing and storing the energy between heaven and earth or refining corpses and living people, you are still at the level of divine power."

At the fourth level, you might be able to explore the energy of the Holy Spirit.

You can delve into this broad direction: absorption and storage, or active purification.

"Buzz~" The gourd with the phoenix pattern trembled.

"Good boy." Lu Ran smiled and hugged the magic gourd to his chest again.

"Awake?" A cool voice came from behind.

Lu Ran turned his head and saw a figure wearing a noble phoenix robe appear on the side of the screen.

Today's evil god has undergone some changes.

Fairy Jiang's long hair was tied up, and she used a magical artifact called "Smoky Green Gauze".

Other powerful beings in the Heavenly Realm wear smoky green gauze, which completely diminishes their aura, but with Jiang Ruyi, the magic weapon's effectiveness is greatly reduced!
Nevertheless, Lu Ran realized that he was no longer so frightened.

The invisible rules of heaven and earth finally let him off the hook, and his heart stopped trembling violently.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jiang Ruyi stood to the side of the screen, not daring to step forward rashly.

Lu Ran got up and walked forward step by step, while she kept her eyes closed, which made him feel both amused and guilty.

"Well."

Jiang Ruyi noticed that an arm had wrapped around her waist, and she felt a familiar and warm embrace.

She rested her chin on someone's shoulder and whispered, "Aren't you scared anymore?"

His voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of teasing.

"afraid."

"And you?" Jiang Ruyi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"That's fine, just let her breathe." Lu Ran buried his face in her neck, took a deep breath, and smelled the faint fragrance of jasmine.

Jiang Ruyi's pretty face flushed slightly, but she did not stop them. She simply stood there quietly, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Until Little Chifeng quietly crept closer, carefully squeezing into their arms.
“Go.” Jiang Ruyi curled her finger and gently tapped the plump gourd.

The little phoenix immediately became obedient. It tilted its head and flew up, looking like a little bird with its head drooping, flying over the screen and heading to the study.

As soon as the little guy left, Jiang Ruyi sensed that someone was secretly causing trouble.

His kiss on her neck wasn't a light touch, but rather like leaving a hickey.
Do you want to leave a hickey?

"Mmm," Jiang Ruyi kept her eyes closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her already flushed cheeks became even redder.

She really wanted to recapture the way they used to get along.

I didn't want Lu Ran to be so trembling and miserable.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to lower herself and step down from her pedestal, and even borrowed the Smoke Green Gauze from the Nightmare Protector.

At this moment, Jiang Ruyi remembered the way they had interacted before.
That guy is a bad guy!
She said softly, "The Evil Shadow Guardian has become a god and possesses a complete divine position. Shall we summon her to see the specific situation?"

Lu Ran's expression was strange, as if everything had returned to normal.

Xiao Ruyi used a consultative tone, rather than a cold, commanding one.

“Sure, I was just thinking of meeting her, to see the true goddess in all her glory.” Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to Mogu Peak, just to avoid causing any trouble.” “Mm,” Jiang Ruyi replied softly.

Before long, the two arrived at the end of Holy Spirit Mountain, Desert Lone Peak.

"By the way, what's the date today?" Lu Ran stepped into the huge mountain cave.

"Twenty-eight."

"It's been almost a month. Hua Tianjiang should have successfully advanced by now," Lu Ran murmured.

"Hua Qingying has successfully advanced."

"Oh?" Lu Ran turned to look at his girlfriend, the Evil God.

But she still kept her eyes closed: "The one who successfully advanced the day before yesterday even came to visit you at Tianya Residence. I chatted with her and arranged a place for her to stay in the underground city so she could wait for orders."

"Oh, so Little Yuanxi will be advancing soon too."

"Yes, she's been promoted for over twenty days now," Jiang Ruyi said softly. "Guan Yiren has reached the fourth stage of the Sea Realm, while Wei Yun and Bai Yanhui have both advanced to the peak of the Sea Realm."

"Okay, okay, okay." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly.

Finally, the double stone sculptures of the flower lantern and the black lantern can be handed over to Xiao Yuanxi.

Once Xiao Yuanxi merges with the stone sculpture, Lu Ran can directly push her to the third level of the Heavenly Realm!
What does it mean to carry a girl to rank up?
Under the Heavenly Realm, you have to cultivate diligently on your own; there's no other way.

But once you ascend, I will take you across two major realms.

Sword pointed at the gods!

The Lantern Clan is considered the king of support skills. Combined with the powerful techniques of the Black Lantern Clan, what kind of chemical reaction would occur if the divine position were complete and divine and evil magic were fused together?
Little Yuanxi is about to take off!

Lu Ran thought to himself with a smug smile.

If Xiao Yuanxi were here, she would probably say her brother is silly again.

"call!!"

Amidst surging waves and terrifying energy filling the vast cave, a colossal stone sculpture rapidly took shape and stood firmly within the cave.

"Drink up!!" Lu Ran roared, fueling his fighting spirit.

He swallowed a mouthful of sand and dust, quickly covering his face with one hand, only to be forced back by the gusts of air.

What a monstrous shadow!

But is it the real culprit?

Lu Ran had already retreated to the cave entrance before he finally managed to tilt his head back and look at the enormous creature.

This statue wears a wide stone hat and a stone raincoat, with the Black Ice Divine Weapon, the Evil Moon Scimitar, at its waist, and the Black Ice Divine Weapon, the Owl's Dagger, hidden in the boot of its right leg.

Despite being dressed as a mysterious female knight-errant, her terrifying aura pulled Lu Ran from the world of martial arts back into the world of fantasy.

In fact, Yan Shuangzi also has a magical artifact, the Moonlight Tassel Sachet.

However, the effect of this magical artifact is to slightly increase the wearer's cultivation speed, so it was lent to other disciples of the Burning Sect.

"Master, Madam," the deity spoke softly, his voice faint and indistinct, as if it came from the heavens.

Lu Ran suddenly felt unworthy of his position.

What merit or ability do I possess?
A true god in the real sense actually calls himself that.

"How do you feel?" Lu Ran asked loudly.

The deity lowered his eyes, looking down at the tiny creature at the cave entrance. If one did not possess powerful sensory techniques, it would be difficult to even detect this small ant.

"My mindset isn't very good."

"Mindset?" Lu Ran thought Yan Shuangzi would talk about physical changes or techniques.

I never expected it to be on a psychological level.

“You’ve become more arrogant; it’s not like me.” Yan Shuangzi knelt on one knee, her gaze fixed on Lu Ran.

Even so, her face was still quite far from the cave entrance.

As Lu Ran watched the sky collapse, he roared again, "Drink!"

Yan Shuangzi: "."

Jiang Ruyi picked up the collar of her phoenix robe with one hand to cover her neck, and looked up at the god: "It takes time to adapt to the change in identity."

In fact, it didn't matter to Jiang Ruyi whether she was suited to the Evil Shadow Guardian or not.

As long as our attitude towards him remains unchanged, that's fine.

Judging from Yan Shuangzi's posture, nothing has changed.

"Yes," Yan Shuangzi replied softly, then added, "The divine position has also granted me many new abilities, and I need time to comprehend them."

Jiang Ruyi: "I can share my experience with you about everything that the position of the Evil God has given you, but what the position of the God has given you can only be understood by yourself."

After all, Jiang Ruyi's divine position is incomplete.

She could neither create divine ruins nor send down pillars of blessing to temper and cleanse the bones and marrow of the human race.

"Thank you, Madam."

Lu Ran gazed intently at the goddess's face: "The Immortal Sheep said that once your divine position is complete, your combat power will increase to a certain extent."

For example, your physical strength, speed, power, and other attributes.

Furthermore, divine and evil spells with similar effects can be combined to unleash even greater power.

Yan Shuangzi narrowed her eyes.

Among the techniques of the Greedy Wolf and Evil Dog schools, similar ones include Evil Sense - Wolf Sense and Evil Sensitivity - Wolf Sensitivity.

These kinds of techniques are practically bug-level!
Can they be combined to unleash even more powerful effects?
How powerful must it be?
Yan Shuangzi finally understood why the little figure at her feet had such expectant eyes.

She was tempted too!
