Summit of the Old Gods

Jiang Ruyi looked at the little Yuanxi, who was asking for praise, and couldn't help but smile: "Go replenish some Divine Power."

"Okay." Qiao Yuansi ran over, her ankle touching the furry bear skin.

Her ankle not only had the Magic Artifact·Heavenly Sound Bell, but also several Divine Power Pearls tied on the winding red thread.

Similarly, Lu Ran also wore a string of Divine Power Pearls around his ankle, specifically prepared for this hunt against the Jinmi Demon Clan.

"Hm?" Lu Ran suddenly looked up.

He could only feel the surrounding temperature suddenly rise, and the scattered ashes floating in the air inexplicably started to burn.

Carrying a burning effect!

Coincidentally, some ashes fell on the back of Lu Ran's hand, continuously burning through his Water Flow Armor.

Evil Technique·Destruction Domain!

This is a Domain Technique; its diameter is only 50 meters at the River Grade, but can reach 500 meters at the Sea Grade!

Lu Ran squinted his eyes and looked around; the Destruction Domain they were in clearly exceeded fifty meters in diameter.

So... is there a Sea Realm·Jinmi Demon nearby?

"Hold Qiao'er... Pavilion Master Jin in your arms." Lu Ran reminded his sister.

But before her brother's reminder, Qiao Yuansi had already opened her large raincoat, hiding the exquisite Little Huang Que in her bosom.

Golden Sparrow: "..."

In her bird form, she was unable to cover her body with Water Flow Armor, and the scattered ashes in the air could burn holes in her bird body.

Golden Sparrow originally wanted to transform into human form, but Qiao Yuansi, quicker than Golden Sparrow herself, was even more nervous.

She nestled in the girl's embrace, isolated by the large raincoat from the dangerous world, inhaling the faint fragrance on the girl, feeling exceptionally cozy.

Since coming to Holy Spirit Mountain, Golden Sparrow had never felt like this.

She was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but curl up, rubbing her bird head against the warmth of the girl's embrace.

Suddenly, Golden Sparrow chuckled mockingly at herself.

She was also a Sea Realm Great Power, yet was being protected in the arms of someone younger, shamelessly enjoying it!

Truly...

At the same time, Lu Ran's gaze fixed on a large cave to their left front.

"Hoo... hooo..."

Heavy breathing, accompanied by weighty footsteps, came from within the cave.

Gradually, a massive creature emerged from the darkness.

It was over five meters tall, with enormous bear eyes glowing with terrifying red light, staring intently at Lu Ran.

Could a Sea Realm Great Demon appear even at the edge of Jinmie Ridge?

The tunnels deep in the rift really were interconnected.

"Woo~ woo..." Jinmi Demon, initially fierce and evil, now screamed miserably.

"Heh." Lu Ran sneered, who are you trying to scare?

Your eyes are red?

When my eyes turn red, can you handle it!

"Woo..." The Jinmi Demon screamed, its bear paw slapping its head fiercely, clearly suffering from the Tethering Silk Pupil.

From its massive paw, ashes yet to extinguish were scattered continuously.

In the blink of an eye, a ring of ashes encased the Jinmi Demon, then expanded outward!

"Hoo!!"

The unextinguished ashes churned with terrifying airwaves, collapsing the cave walls.

Jiang Ruyi immediately summoned a circle of Golden Jade Stone Plates, with three pieces in front rapidly expanding into shields of ten meter specifications.

The burning ash ring struck the Golden Jade Stone Plates heavily, emitting a terrifying humming sound.

Although it did not harm them, the heat wave was suffocating and oppressive.

The dense ashes further obscured their vision, imprisoning the prey within, burning relentlessly.

"Hoo!!"

Another ash ring expanded, far more formidable than the previous strike.

And that was not all!

The third and most scorching, aggressive ash ring followed suit.

Evil Technique·Ash Inferno Triple Devastation!

"Crack! Crack..." A series of ash rings finally crawled fracture lines across the Golden Jade Stone Plates.

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran in surprise, as she knew too well his combat rhythm.

His attack and displacement speeds should be alarmingly fast! With Lu Ran present, the Jinmi Demon shouldn't have managed to unleash all three ash rings! But now...

Jiang Ruyi slightly raised her eyebrow, only to see Lu Ran holding the Eight Desolate Blade, assumed in a bow-legged posture before Instant Teleportation, frozen in place.

Even with ashes obscuring his eyes, she realized the Eight Desolate Blade, so close by, was vibrating intensely.

"Buzz!!"

Lu Ran was frozen, diverse thoughts flowed through his mind: burst, flatten, destroy.

Obliterate everything...

Those were the desires from the Eight Desolate Blade, extraordinarily strong.

It was just like in Red Rain Valley before, when the Eight Desolate Blade realized the Divine Weapon Domain·Eight Directions Annihilation, what a special state it was in.

"Xuan Shuang, use the Soul Capturing Cold Fragrance to control the Evil Demon, be quieter when you kill." Jiang Ruyi whispered.

"Yes, Lady." Leng Xushuang swiftly soared up.

Amid the burning ashes and drifting fallen plums, the woman left beautiful fleeting shadows.

The subtle fragrance of plum blossom spread out.

The Jinmi Demon, as a beast demon with lesser intellect to begin with, and with no Spirit Defense Techniques, quickly fell for it.

Not only this Sea Realm Great Demon! In the surrounding area, each approaching Evil Demon that caught the intoxicating scent had their flames quickly die down.

Each black bear stopped in place, dazed and bewildered.

With a slight thought, Jiang Ruyi transformed eight Golden Jade Talismans into a cuboid fortress, as the Magic Artifact·Immortal Binding Whip at her waist automatically extended, wrapping around Qiao Yuansi, bringing her close by.

"My brother he..." Qiao Yuansi started to speak, the bell at her ankle faintly ringing.

"Shh!" Jiang Ruyi issued the command for silence.

"Let's go out first." Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Don't miss the opportunity, comprehend it on the spot, and we'll protect you." Jiang Ruyi's voice was very serious, clearly knowing what she was doing.

Comprehending in the Evil Demon Base Camp sounds indeed audacious, but Leng Xushuang greatly restrains this clan.

Jiang Ruyi also knows that the Eight Desolate Blade is a second-rank Divine Weapon!

If there is a chance to advance to the third rank, the terrifying attribute amplifications and brand-new Divine Weapon Domain will surely have unimaginable power.

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Ruyi had never seen a third-rank Divine Weapon!

Even the two Divine Swords hanging in Qiao Wanjun's study, Lu Ran's mother, seem to have only reached the second rank?

Jiang Ruyi is not quite sure.

What she can be sure of is that the opportunity for a Divine Weapon upgrade is a rare chance.

It must be firmly grasped!

"You... dig a hole, make it deep." Lu Ran held the Eight Desolate Blade's hilt with both hands, speaking in a deep voice.

He could directly open the Transmission Mirror and step into the Pear Garden Sect, to calmly comprehend.

But Lu Ran did not dare to gamble too much.

Ruyi was right; he should comprehend it on the spot!

The Eight Desolate Blade "opened its mind" in this world, and abruptly returning to a peaceful and comfortable environment might have implications.

"Okay." Jiang Ruyi thought for a moment, flipped her palm and pressed downward.

A Golden Jade Talisman obeyed its master's will and crushed downward.

Lu Ran struggled to keep his mind stable, ignoring everything external.

He closed his eyes tightly, pressing his forehead against the cold Eight Desolate Blade, repeatedly deepening the blade's desire.

Burst, destroy...

Sweep away everything!

In the midst of his perception, he sensed the eagerness of the Eight Desolates Blade Spirit, quickly keeping pace with the Divine Weapon.

In the past, by the Blood Pool.

The Blood Skull, which performed the head-exploding grand burial with the jade burning.

Previously, when Lu Ran advanced, there was a feeling of fullness within him, like the illusion of bursting to death.

"Buzz!!"

The vibration amplitude of the Eight Desolate Blade became increasingly severe, and the clanging hum sounded exceptionally clear in the hot and dark underground cave.

Jiang Ruyi had already "crushed" an underground cave using the Golden Jade Stone Plate, hiding everyone inside.

She was extremely careful, not even letting Leng Xushuang use the Ice Plum Technique to avoid disturbing Lu Ran.

"Explosion, huh?" Lu Ran's murmuring voice was clearly audible.

"First Domain·Eight Directions Annihilation is you and me together casting the spell, injecting energy into the earth, pouring it into the mountain... Hmm?"

Lu Ran frowned tightly, recalling the recent battle under the guidance of the Eight Desolates Blade Spirit.

The Ash Destruction Demon roared angrily, scattering layers of unextinguished ashes, followed by expanding rings of ash fire.

"Release energy directly from the blade, spreading out..."

"Buzz!" The Eight Desolate Blade was extremely excited.

As master and blade synchronized, it faintly perceived that an invisible shackle seemed to be gradually breaking.

But soon, this sensation vanished.

"Don't panic, I'm here." With eyes tightly shut, Lu Ran guided the Divine Weapon to deepen its desire.

Eight Desolates is merely a place name.

It refers to a distant place, particularly the realm after Divine Ruins for Lu Ran.

The key is on "Annihilation"!

That is the foundational existence of the Eight Desolates Annihilation Blade in the world.

"Destruction, destruction... don't make noise!" Lu Ran's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

Qiao Yuansi shivered with fright, hugging Little Huang Que tightly, curling up in the pitch-dark cave.

Her brother was always gentle; even on the life-and-death battlefield, he only glared coldly and faced the enemy calmly.

It was rare to see Lu Ran lose his temper.

But the crowd was unaware that the remark "don't make noise" was directed not at the Eight Desolates Blade, but at one of the stone sculptures in the God Demon Sculpture Garden!

Simultaneously, in the southeastern region of the Holy Spirit Mountain Continent, by the Mist Rain Lake.

On the Central Island, He Yingcai frowned slightly.

She gazed at the fog that filled the sky, witnessing the dense mist transforming into Fog Dragon Rolls, eventually connecting to the island she was on, completely enveloping Mist Rain Lake.

In the underground seclusion room beneath He Yingcai's feet, Yu Changsheng was advancing!

From Sea Realm Peak, ascending to Heavenly Realm!

Such an important matter, she immediately tried to contact the Sect Leader, but the other party didn't respond for a long time.

"Alliance Leader He!"

"Alliance Leader He, what is this?" Two voices, male and female, came from the fog.

The three islands of Sky Phoenix are located at the center of Mist Rain Lake; nearby, Tianya Island Master and Mingyue Island Master had arrived immediately.

He Yingcai temporarily suppressed the idea of contacting the Sect Leader, slightly parted her thin lips: "Pass it down, from now on, the Thousand Boat Alliance is in the highest alert state."

As she spoke, a strand of proud gleam flashed through He Yingcai's beautiful eyes:

"My husband, is advancing to the Heavenly Realm."

"Heaven... Heavenly Realm?"

"Heavenly Realm!" Tianya Mingyue's faces showed astonishment, naturally knowing who Alliance Leader He's husband was.

When the two arrived, they indeed had a slight guess but did not dare to confirm; now with the confirmed news, it truly startled them.

"No need to worry, I'll contact Master Lu and have him come here with people." He Yingcai stood with folded arms, softly instructing, "You two, pass down the order."

"Yes!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader He!"
