Summit of the Old Gods

"Ah!!"

"Sect... Sect Master?!" Chaos erupted below the altar.

The disciples of the Sword Cultivator sect didn't know who the invisible, mysterious person was, but the person made their move, executing the Sea Realm peak Sect Master Dongfang instantly!

The scene was visually shocking, causing the entire sect to fall into utter chaos.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

The disciples rode their flying swords in panic, fleeing, while countless sword shadows darted and weaved, providing mages with opportunities to teleport.

Deng Yuxiang's gaze was icy as she casually picked up the blood-drinking scimitar, her energy surging.

Although she could unleash 64 Night Charm Blades, against the myriad of flies darting in the sky, several dozen Wind Blades wouldn't suffice.

No problem!

In the Sea Realm, the Night Charm Clan adapted an Evil Technique·Night Shadow Thousand Traces!

Deng Yuxiang had once used this technique to slaughter a group at Tiantu Mountain.

"Zing!"

Deng Yuxiang slashed down, a terrifying sound of air being sliced erupted violently, and a long sword trace suddenly appeared.

One sword trace clearly wasn't enough to be called "Night Shadow Thousand Traces."

In an instant, countless sword traces appeared rapidly, crazily spreading outward, filling this part of the sky, tearing through all things.

"Ah!!"

"No, don't..." The screams of panic and confusion, the sound of flying swords weaving through, the sound of sword traces shattering Water Flow Armor and tearing flesh and bone—came incessantly.

"Hmm?" Deng Yuxiang suddenly looked up, feeling a cold breath of frost descending from the sky.

In her line of sight, an over-forty Sword Cultivator disciple, wearing a yellow long dress, faced her, surrounded by five floating ice frost longswords.

Is this the Sword One Sect's Sea Realm technique·Frost Sky Sword Fall?

Indeed, that's more like it.

Deng Yuxiang coldly looked at the other, wishing that Dongfang Ning, Leng Jin, and others were as bloody and spirited rather than being the kneeling, begging cowards.

"Too much bullying!" The ice-cold voice of the woman in the yellow dress echoed from the sky.

Instantly, from the five ice frost longswords, streams of frost swords continued to shoot out rapidly, speeding towards Deng Yuxiang.

A total of five "frost sword rivers" swiftly converged, forming an incredibly magnificent waterfall!

Indeed, Deng Yuxiang was at the Majestic Heaven Realm, making it difficult for Sea Grade skills to break her defense.

But the ice frost longswords poured out endlessly, their speed astounding!

If Deng Yuxiang grew complacent, bathing in the Frost Sword Waterfall for too long should break her Water Flow Armor, right?

[Continue casting.] Suddenly, a young man's deep voice fell in her mind.

Deng Yuxiang settled her mind, holding the blood-drinking scimitar, continued to channel Divine Power within, as sword traces continued spreading into the distance.

At the same time, Lu Ranfei, above Deng Yuxiang's head, unexpectedly donned a Big Red Robe.

"Whoosh~"

The robe's tail flapped in the wind, and he lifted his right hand, the wide sleeve embroidered with dragons and phoenixes suddenly unfolded.

Vermilion Paper Evil Technique·Yan Zhi Sleeve!

The magnificent Frost Sword Waterfall plunged into the wide sleeve in a swoop.

Like a clay ox entering the sea, vanishing without a trace.

This technique can revert all forms of skills back to their origins, transforming them into Pure Energy Bodies.

The Sea Grade·Yan Zhi Sleeve can even use the converted energy to replenish the caster!

"You..." The woman in the yellow dress gritted her teeth, her heart brimming with anger and shock.

This was the Sea Realm technique·Frost Sky Sword Fall!

The Sword Cultivator sect's most proud output skill, vanished atop the cloaked woman's head.

"Hiss!!"

The sharp snake hiss echoed through the heavens and the earth.

For an instant, all beings within the heavens and earth were frozen.

To the east of the Sword Mountain, a White-Scaled Giant Python suddenly appeared!

Its immense body blocked out the sky and sun, making it impossible to see it as a whole at a glance; just one enormous snakehead completely engulfed this mountain peak!

Its sleek white scales glistened brightly, two scarlet snake eyes stared intently at the living beings on the peak.

As if an Ancient God had descended!

"Wha, what?"

"Jade-faced... ah! Heaven... Heavenly Realm Jade-faced Snake?"

"This is bad, it's Immortal Breath! Ah ah ah..."

The White-Scaled Immortal Heavenly Python, three thousand meters in size, opened its body-fitting bloody mouth, spitting out a puff of Immortal Qi.

Wherever the thin mist passed, all things dissolved!

The mountain, buildings, frost swords, humans... even that Sword One Divine Statue.

[Sis, I can't absorb this!] Lu Ran watched the Immortal Fog passing over, corroding all things, urgently sending a mental reminder.

The Frost Sky Sword Fall was terrifying, but essentially, it was a Sea Grade technique.

The Evil Technique·Immortal Breath, on the other hand, was different.

It was Heavenly Grade!

If Lu Ran dared to absorb it with the Evil Technique·Yan Zhi Sleeve, he and his clothes would be entirely dissolved.

"Go!" Deng Yuxiang shouted sharply, fog surging beneath her feet.

Bai Rao, interpreted as the Majestic Heaven Realm's Great Power!

What is called the might of the heavens overflowing!

"Buzz~"

Lu Ran flashed several hundred meters away, suddenly sensing something unusual in his hand's Cloud Sea Blade.

The Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade seemed very interested in the Evil Technique·Immortal Breath?

Lu Ran gazed far away, coincidentally seeing a Sword Cultivator disciple being tainted by the Immortal Breath, the Water Flow Armor seemingly without the slightest defensive effect, the human's flesh and blood body instantly dissolving upon contact...

The shrill screams continued without end.

"Buzz!" The Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade vibrated more intensely.

As the Master of Divine Weapon, Lu Ran felt its eager heart.

Lu Ran immediately transmitted to the three Great Protectors: [You all stay far away from the battlefield, now!]

The moment the message ended, his figure flickered, appearing in the high sky east of Sword Mountain, standing on the head of the White-Scaled Immortal Heavenly Python.

"Hiss..." Bai Rao realized, a tiny ant appeared.

Such a small bug, daring to approach this Immortal?

And standing on my head?

Ha.

Bai Rao almost laughed in anger, for a moment, she didn't want to immediately crush this small bug.

She wanted to keep him around, to personally teach him what rules entail...

"Aunt Bai, it's me!" Lu Ran shouted sharply, connecting his embroidered needle magic artifact with his mind.

The actions of the sky-covering python halted, and its anger dissipated instantly.

So it's my little Master Lu!

Then go ahead and step on me~

I also like it...

"Who!!"

Lu Ran reached forward with one hand, and a gale howled.

Night Charm Evil Technique·Night Wind Assault!

A terrifying storm, accompanied by an even more terrifying immortal breath, spewed forward with full force.

Combined skill?

For the Holy Spirit Mountain, such an output method was indeed somewhat over the top.

"Hiss~" The sky-covering python hissed, its crimson snake eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty brightness.

No wonder you're my Lu Lang!

Matching so well with me~

Bai Rao thought to herself, her enormous head continuously swaying, allowing Lu Ran to release the gale, scattering the immortal breath across the world.

"Buzz!!"

The Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade trembled violently.

It seemed to open the door to a new world, as if finding something that belonged to it.

Just moments ago, it was fascinated by the scene of immortal breath passing by, dissolving everything.

All the sins and chaos in the world vanished without a trace.

Now, Lu Ran risked his life to come atop the python's head, stirring up a terrible wind and letting the immortal breath rush forward like flowing clouds, cleansing this realm.

"Buzz!!"

"As long as you like it." Lu Ran murmured, holding the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade with one hand while continuing to release the gale with the other.

[Master, I felt something.]

"Felt... what?" Lu Ran's heart was stirred, already aware of something.

The journey of the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade gathering sword spirit was far tougher than that of several other blades!

Yet, after becoming a Divine Weapon, the path to comprehending the Divine Weapon Domain was faster than that of other Divine Weapon blades.

Was it because the foundation was solid?

Or was it fortuitous, catching Bai Rao in her divine inspiration, providing insight for the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade?

[Domain, my domain...] The Cloud Sea Blade Spirit responded softly.

"Good!" Lu Ran was overjoyed, looking at the cleansing white mist, his heart full of excitement.

Is this the general form of the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade·Divine Weapon Domain?

Hmm... just as expected!

"Come, let me help you comprehend!" Lu Ran immediately said, gripping the hilt with both hands.

[I cannot comprehend.]

"Ah?" Lu Ran was somewhat bewildered.

[There is some presence blocking me.] The Cloud Sea Blade Spirit said softly, [It... doesn't allow me to delve into this path.]

Did the Divine Weapon Domain collide?

Lu Ran's heart sank, asking, "Can you sense where the opponent is?"

[I can.]

"You can?"

[It's to the south, very far from us.]

Lu Ran tightened his grip on the hilt, realizing that the opponent was also on the Holy Spirit Mountain?

...

The gale gradually stopped.

The immortal breath dissipated.

The once magnificent Sword Peak had completely vanished from the map of the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm.

The so-called battlefield could not be seen with any cruel or bloody scenes; all had been melted away.

Only numerous dead souls lingered between heaven and earth.

Also drawn into an invisible figure's garden.

The speed of sword cultivator disciples flying with swords was quite remarkable, theoretically, there should have been many escaped fish.

But the three Great Protectors of the Ran Sect were not just for show!

The mobility and output speed of the Nightmare Guardian needs no mention.

The Dragon Guardian's Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat spanned the sky, blocking countless fugitives.

The Evil Shadow Guardian was the most outstanding, she teleported constantly, creating one dark moon arc after another with her Evil Moon Scimitar, executing the remnants of Sword Peak.

By afternoon, the members of the Ran Sect returned to the peak of the snowy mountain where they had previously been.

Now, looking northward, the towering Sword Peak was no longer visible.

"Are you satisfied with my performance, Little Lu?" Bai Rao twisted her tempting and seductive figure, coming closer, only to see Lu Ran's solemn face.

She immediately dropped her playful tone, asking with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Others also looked over, recognizing that Lu Ran was not in the right state.

"Everyone, my Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade has comprehended the Divine Weapon Domain." Lu Ran's eyes swept over everyone.

"Oh?" Bai Rao's eyebrows raised slightly, realizing the problem.

Since the divine weapon has comprehended the domain, it should naturally be joyful, but Lu Ran's expression clearly indicates something is amiss.

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly, knowing well that his sect leader had abundant experience in nurturing divine weapons, with low probability of failure.

So...

Yu Changsheng probed, "Sect Leader, has someone beaten you to it?"

Lu Ran nodded: "Yes, and this person is on Holy Spirit Mountain."

"Then let's go meet this person." Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran, somewhat puzzled, not believing Lu Ran would fear challenges.

Why is he feeling so heavy-hearted?

However, Deng Yuxiang noticed that Yu Changsheng's expression also grew serious, murmuring:

"How could it be possible?"

Yu Changsheng knew well Lu Ran's nurturing philosophy for the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade.

To put it bluntly: the Divine Weapon Domains like Dawn Blade, Silent Night Blade, and Eight Desolate Blade could all clash with others!

But solely this Cloud Sea Dust Clear Blade...

Shouldn't!

What kind of person is the opponent?

...
