The Old Gods

Chapter 932 Auspicious Clouds Fill the Sky
The glow emanating from the black ice blades grew even more dazzling.

The young immortal finally made a move, holding the sword upright in front of him, his forehead gently pressed against the cold blade.

The cloudless sky gradually began to gather with clouds.

High in the sky, beneath the swirling clouds.

Wang Quan stood on a cloud, casting the Heavenly Spear Divine Technique: Returning Cloud Vortex while looking around and then down.

Sure enough, we witnessed Sect Master Lu advancing with his divine weapon.

Wang Quan sighed inwardly.

Just yesterday, he had asked Lu Ran about the level of his Xia Guang Blade technique.

Unexpectedly, he was summoned by Sect Leader Lu in the early hours of this morning, who said he needed help.

At that moment, Wang Quan was trembling, not knowing what was wrong with him.

Lu Ran told him not to worry, indicating that the Xiaoqiang Divine Sculpture was being upgraded and its scale was expanding, which was why it was affecting the successor of the Divine Sculpture.

Wang Quan had no idea what had happened last night.

He only remembered that yesterday, the young man had said that he wanted to kill all of Xiaoqiang and Zhuoyunmo.
The fog between heaven and earth grew thicker and thicker, completely engulfing Wang Quan, but he did not stop. His body trembled as he diligently performed his spell.

The mist also enveloped the peak of Qianhua Ridge, where a woman wearing a phoenix robe stood.

Her right hand hung down naturally, her slender fingers gently twirling a petal, and a faint smile finally appeared on her expressionless face.

Like the first melting of ice and snow, this beautiful sea of ​​flowers seems to have become even more vibrant.

Unfortunately, a fog rolled in, obscuring everything.

However, just a quarter of an hour later, Qianhua Ridge regained its former beauty.

The fog slowly dissipated.

The young man amidst the sea of ​​flowers was surrounded by a surge of divine power, and the black ice blade in his hand shimmered with iridescent light.

"Congratulations."

A woman from the ridge slowly flew over.

"Finally!" Lu Ran slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly.

"What is the second realm like?" Jiang Ruyi asked softly, her heart filled with curiosity.

Lu Ran looked up and immediately saw Wang Quan still standing in the air, continuing to cast spells.

The slowly swirling cloud vortex was no different from a celestial phenomenon, and it was quite impressive.

"Uncle Wang, come back." Lu Ran transmitted his voice.

Wang Quan tensed up. He had just joined the Ranmen sect yesterday and was not yet used to the divine voice transmission.

He descended slowly, and Lu Ran's feathered robe fluttered in the wind. A dazzling ray of light rose from the tip of his sword, like a thin pillar of light shooting straight into the sky.

"call!!"

An astonishing energy surged forth from the high heavens.

Centered on a thin column of rosy light, the clouds spread out.

Those were neither ordinary white clouds nor oppressive dark clouds.

Perhaps it should be called auspicious clouds!

Light red, orange-red, golden red, dark red.
Layers of auspicious clouds filled the sky, painting the world with a dreamlike color. Then, the auspicious clouds slowly swirled and transformed into a huge vortex.

"I was so stupid." Lu Ran's eyes were a little dazed as he looked up at the sky.

"how?"

“I’ve seen the second divine weapon domain of the Radiant Light Blade before,” Lu Ran murmured, then suddenly added, “Actually, you’ve seen it too. Do you remember?”

After a moment of thought, Jiang Ruyi recalled a night on the fifteenth of the lunar month that she had experienced in Yuxiang City years ago.

That night, a special event occurred: a procession of ghosts.

The invaders are the powerful second-class demons, the Paper Phoenix Clan.

It was on that very night that Lu Ran, carrying the Radiant Light Blade, comprehended the First Divine Weapon Domain and released streaks of radiant light, soaring into the night sky.

The Paper Phoenix Clan was burned to ashes.

There's one detail!
When the soldier and the lord first comprehended the realm, it caused an unusual phenomenon in the sky, forming a vortex of clouds and mist high in the sky. In this unique environment, streaks of light blended ingeniously with the vortex in the sky.

Transform into a swirling vortex of auspicious clouds!
The small town, shrouded in rain, was as bright as day.

The Paper Phoenix Clan that invaded the human world all emerged from the night sky, and that vortex became their nightmare.

That night was also the night of "Tianjiao".

Under the watchful eyes of the entire nation, Lu Ran burned the paper phoenix clan that kept appearing in the night sky to ashes, forcefully repelling the invasion of evil spirits.

The special event, "Night Parade of Ghosts," was forcibly halted!
jaw-dropping!

“I remember now.” Jiang Ruyi looked up and said softly, “It’s different from the vortex back then.”

That night, the city of Yuxiang was shrouded in continuous rain. After the fog tornado that descended from the sky disappeared, the swirling clouds left behind a vast empty space in the middle.

At this moment, magnificent auspicious clouds filled the sky, slowly swirling around a thin pillar of rosy light.

There were almost no gaps; it blocked out the entire sky!

How could their shapes be the same?
Well, so Lu Ran isn't particularly stupid.

Jiang Ruyi thought to herself.

"The name of the Divine Weapon Domain also needs to be changed." Lu Ran looked up at the swirling auspicious clouds, finding it hard to imagine how scorching hot it must be inside.

Is it permissible to burn the statues of gods and demons?
The Radiant Light Blade is currently only at the third tier, corresponding to the Heavenly Grade, so it's probably not good enough yet.

Once the Glowing Blade advances to the fourth tier and reaches the Divine grade, with all its divine weapon attributes maxed out, it should be able to take on the true form of gods and demons.

"Hmm," Jiang Ruyi roughly understood what Lu Ran meant.

Because the first divine weapon domain of the Xia Guang Blade is named Rui Cai Xiang Yun, which contains the words "Xiang Yun" (auspicious clouds).

However, its outward manifestation is the release of silk-like rays of light that dance, swirl, and burn the enemy.

"The first divine weapon domain is called Ruicai Qiantiao."

Lu Ran stopped casting the spell with the Radiant Blade and continued, "This second divine weapon domain is called Auspicious Clouds Filling the Sky."

"Buzz~" The Radiant Blade trembled slightly.

Lu Ran ran two fingers along the blade of the radiant sword: "Your agreement is fine." "Congratulations, Sect Leader Lu." A hoarse voice came from not far away.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Wang." Lu Ran turned his head and casually summoned an ancient bronze mirror. "You should go back and cultivate first."

"Yes!" Wang Quan strode over, nodded to Lady Ranmen, and quickly stepped into the mirror.

The instant Lu Ran swung away the full-length mirror, he suddenly turned around and embraced the woman in the phoenix robe.

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi subconsciously closed her eyes and leaned back slightly.

Relying on the fact that his divine weapon had just been upgraded and his own divinity had not yet been shed, Lu Ran resisted the goddess's pressure and pressed his lips against hers.

But this long-awaited kiss did not come to pass.

"Huh?" Lu Ran realized that he was still wearing the Blood Crystal Mask.

Jiang Ruyi was both annoyed and amused, only then realizing why Lu Ran hadn't returned to Tianya Haijiao with her.

She said softly, "Call the Shadow Guards back, let's go back too, don't linger here."

"Oh," Lu Ran responded softly, patting the mask on his face.

You got off too easy!
Blood Crystal Mask: "."

[Next time, be more sensible and give way. It took me a lot of courage to do that!] Lu Ran conveyed his thoughts.

Blood Crystal Mask: "."

The two led their team back to the ends of the earth and entered the misty Tianya Residence.

From within the mist came Jiang Ruyi's voice: "The Demon-Binding Lock, the Jade Purse, and those two stone maces—how do you plan to distribute them?"

Lu Ran pondered, "How about we bestow the Demon-Binding Lock upon the Evil Shadow Guardian?"

"Evil Shadow".

"She can become invisible and teleport. In the last two battles, she led the enemy directly into the traps we set. If we give her a Demon-Binding Lock, she will be even more powerful!" Lu Ran was very confident.

“Okay.” Jiang Ruyi nodded gently.

Yan Shuangzi has fused with the divine souls of the Greedy Wolf and the Vicious Dog, making her skills extremely unique and her absolute trump card for the Burning Sect.

The specific effects of the Demon-Binding Lock can be simply understood as a combination of pulling threads and tangled threads.

If this item falls into Yan Shuangzi's hands, it will surely become a nightmare for all the gods and demons!

Lu Ran continued, "Once Tu Feng has finished fusing his divine soul, we will give him the stone mace."

Even now, Tu Feng doesn't have a suitable weapon and is still using the first-tier divine weapon, the Fangtian Halberd, that Lu Ran assigned to him.

Back in the day, this Martial Peak Master wielded the Xuanhuang Staff and rode the Three Thousand Ripples Boots.
As a result, all of his divine weapons and magical artifacts were "stripped" by Lu Ran.

Now everything is in He Qifeng's hands.

When Tu Feng returned to the Mountain Realm as the executioner of the Heavenly Realm and issued an ultimatum to He Qifeng, he did not ask Emperor Feng for the treasures. Instead, he took the initiative to refuse when the divine weapons and magical artifacts wanted to return.

Lu Ran could hardly imagine Tu Feng's mental state at that time.

But one thing is certain.

He didn't want to extinguish the flame of hope for humanity, and he wanted to give the second prodigy of the Great Xia Dynasty more fighting power.

Try to survive under the cruel rule of gods and demons.
Now, it's time to equip Master Tu with two suitable divine weapons.

This highly skilled martial monk, though lacking the three heads and six arms, possessed the eight arms characteristic of the Laotian clan.

In addition, the Laotian clan possesses the power-enhancing technique, Laotian Power.

These two extremely heavy stone maces are the perfect gift for Tu Feng.

A surge in combat power is inevitable!

“Very well,” Jiang Ruyi agreed. “Now that Tu Tianjiang has attained godhood, he should change his role and become the sharpest blade of the Burning Gate.”

After last night's battle, when Ranmen was cleaning up the battlefield, he already knew that the Imprisoned Demon was not a being that combined god and demon.

The third-class evil god, Prison Demon, is still wandering outside.

However, after obtaining the divine position of the Demon Imprisoner, Tu Feng's techniques from both the Demon Imprisoner and Heavenly Demon Prisoner factions would be of divine quality.

Naturally, they deserve the position of "sharp knife".

However, last night, He Yingcai swallowed Bihe's soul, thus restoring her divine status.

Xiao Yuanxi also obtained the spirit of the flower lantern - the black lantern in one go.

Give the two some time to combine their techniques; who knows what terrifying effects they might produce.

"The fourth-tier magic artifact, the Jade Lotus Pouch, is already with Sister Xian'er, right?" Lu Ran asked.

Last night, when the Ranmen sect seized the magical artifacts, Lu Ran noticed that the "little sachet" looked a lot like a purse, so he renamed it.

Jiang Ruyi: "You only asked her to keep it, you didn't explicitly say you were giving it to her as a reward."

Lu Ran smiled and said, "The jade sachet can calm the mind and protect the wearer's spirit. Sister Xian'er doesn't have any special defensive techniques, so let her take it."

“Yes, I’ll tell her.” Jiang Ruyi smiled as well.

Since the battle, the Mad Immortal Protector has brought his purse into the sculpture garden, taking it out to look at and admire it from time to time, clearly enamored with it.

Now that Lu Ran has made this decision, Sister Xian'er will probably be very happy when she finds out.

"Alright, I'll find a place and we'll go all out."

"Go all out in one go?" Jiang Ruyi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Before he could comprehend the second domain, Xia Guang Dao had already come into contact with the third domain, but unfortunately his cultivation level was not high enough to allow him to comprehend it beyond his level."

Jiang Ruyi: "."

"I'll take it to find some inspiration." Lu Ran suddenly took off the blood crystal mask, leaned close to his evil god girlfriend, and gently kissed her luscious lips.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, a single touch is all it takes to separate them.

Lu Ran suppressed his heart pounding and his figure vanished in an instant.

In the thick fog, Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she froze on the spot.

After a long while, she pursed her lips in embarrassment and annoyance.

Good-for-nothing guy.

Show even half the might of someone who slays gods and demons, and you're not in such a sorry state.
