Summit of the Old Gods

"Dong——"

The sudden sound of war drums interrupted the conversation between the two gods.

"Dong! Dong! Dong..."

Of course, the God·Huanggu dared not make decisions on his own; he struck the war drums once more, naturally under the suggestion of the Evil Spear Emperor.

The increasingly intricate drumbeats clearly carried a sense of urgency.

It seems the Evil Spear Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of Spiritual Fortune?

Declaring loyalty to the enemy leader before the two armies' formations was indeed inappropriate.

"Hoo~"

From within Jiang Ruyi spread a full 64 White Jade Stones.

Strangely, a faint black mist shrouded the lustrous white, smooth jade stones.

This was clearly not a single Divine Technique but a fusion of the Jade Talisman Formation and Ghost Talisman Formation techniques.

Because of the enveloping black mist, the sparks, frost, flowing sand, and lightning on the jade stones were all concealed.

The uniform appearance of the White Jade Stones was completely identical, highly deceptive.

Enemies could no longer instantly recognize what attributes Lady Xian Mo's techniques possessed.

Of course, people like Lu Ran, who could see through the mist, could still unveil the mystery of the black mist.

The jade stones were large and numerous, but they didn't give a dizzying sensation.

They formed four jade rings, with jade stone numbers from inside to outside being 8, 8, 16, and 32, slowly revolving around their master.

Densely packed, yet orderly.

Highly visually impactful!

The difficulty for any enemy attempting to approach the Lady of Burning Gate was imaginable!

Plus, with the Empress aura of the Lady of Burning Gate herself, she indeed felt like the final boss.

Jiang Ruyi slowly raised her hand, casually picked up the stone token floating before her, and with cold eyes looked at Spiritual Fortune, her thin lips slightly parted:

"Run."

Run?

Spiritual Fortune's face turned unsightly, loudly questioning in his heart!

Why not kneel, submit?

The Evil Spear Emperor pressed down on his head, forcing him into a deadly battle.

The leaders of the Human Clan camp didn't want to accept his goodwill or surrender, they just wanted his Divine Position...

Spiritual Fortune gripped the fortune-telling flag, a deeply wrinkled old face terrifyingly rigid.

Today, must I die?

Must I end up like Lie Tian?

"I warned you," Jiang Ruyi said calmly as she suddenly crushed the stone token in her hand.

"ZZZ~ ZZZ!"

The heavens and earth changed color!

The dark Third Heaven was replaced by deep purple.

With the jade token shattering, centered around Jiang Ruyi, in an instant, a dense array of currents spread over a radius of three thousand meters.

Each current was extremely active, like tiny snakes crawling and madly thrashing around.

Spiritual Fortune instantly became numb.

However, due to his unique body structure, his stone-sculpted body naturally had a certain resistance to the Thunder Attribute's output.

Therefore, Spiritual Fortune could still barely retreat, and the fortune-telling flag in his hand, the fourth-tier Magical Artifact--Heavenly Destiny Banner, began to stir.

"Whoosh~"

In just an instant, the currents crawling over Spiritual Fortune's stone form inexplicably transferred to Jiang Ruyi.

Completely unreasonable!

Jiang Ruyi was not afraid, directly flying forward.

Spiritual Fortune frantically retreated, his body continuously covered by lightning, as the Heavenly Destiny Banner continuously cast, transferring all negative effects onto the enemy.

Jiang Ruyi's mind raced with thoughts, and jade tokens exploded one after another.

Thunder Domains with a diameter of three thousand meters each burst open fiercely.

"Oh my god..."

Lu Ran grimaced; what is this if not the ultimate boss?

If the opponent wasn't a Divine Sculpture, if they were of flesh and blood, they wouldn't just be numb, unable to move—they'd be turned to dust by the lightning, wouldn't they?

In the face of absolute power, even control techniques could completely annihilate beings.

[Brother, don't shout carelessly~] Qiao Yuansi transmitted in a low voice, [Mom's on my ring finger.]

Lu Ran: ???

Was I calling someone?

I was marveling, okay... my god!

Lu Ran clicked his tongue internally, watching the turbulent dark clouds as a massive lightning bolt struck down.

The Jade Talisman Divine Skill·Electric Confinement Talisman was merely a control technique.

But the Ghost Talisman Evil Skill--Yin Thunder Talisman could summon relentless heavenly thunder, continuously striking the target, with the precondition that the caster affixed the talisman paper to the target.

Jiang Ruyi managed it!

She forcefully charged forward, rapidly closing in on Spiritual Fortune, and among the series of white jade talismans flying around her, two eventually stuck to Spiritual Fortune's back.

As for those that didn't stick, they exploded on the spot, once more opening successive Thunder Domains.

After the fusion of the Jade Talisman and Ghost Talisman techniques, it was highly offensive and defensive!

"Lord, have mercy!"

Spiritual Fortune said tremblingly, a phantom talisman tube appearing in his hand, from which a phantom talisman suddenly flew out.

"Whoosh!"

The phantom talisman gleamed brilliantly, transforming into a massive Divine Armor Guard.

The Summoning Sign is the hardest sign to draw in the Spiritual Sign Sect.

Believers don't know how much faith they must offer to the Lord God, how many times they have to draw the sign to summon Divine Soldiers Descending from Heaven just once.

Yet at this moment, Spiritual Fortune's actions seemed utterly ironic to everyone watching.

He didn't even go through the process of shaking the talisman tube or drawing a sign.

It was entirely at his whim, coming to him as he wished!

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi's flying figure halted, raising her hand sharply.

The Golden Jade Eight Talismans suddenly unfolded, rapidly stacking.

"Ding!!"

The giant spear tip descended from the sky, fiercely piercing the Golden Jade Talisman.

The Golden Jade Talisman, renowned for its strong defensive power, was forcibly shattered into two pieces before it managed to barely stop the spear tip.

Jiang Ruyi looked up and saw a valiant warrior.

In the Great Xia Divine Demon System, there are four types of ancient fierce beasts with body sizes that can reach ten thousand meters.

And below these fierce beasts, the largest and most destructively powerful physical being is the Divine Armor Guard of the Spiritual Sign Sect!

This Divine Armor Guard was resplendent, standing at a towering three-thousand meters tall, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Its face was blurred, dressed in ancient armor, holding a long spear, fiercely shattering the Golden Jade Talisman.

"Crack! Crack!"

A massive electric current descended from the sky, originally aimed at the Spiritual Sign, but it had already hidden behind the lower leg of the Divine Armor Guard.

The lightning that slashed obliquely from the dark clouds directly exploded on the leg of the Divine Armor Guard.

"Why must you push to the brink, my lord?" The Spiritual Sign summoned an auxiliary talisman, purifying its own paralyzed body and healing the lower leg of the Divine Armor Guard.

"It is you who have gone too far against the Human Clan." Jiang Ruyi rarely spoke, her voice as cold as ice.

"I... know my mistake! I am willing to be punished! I am also willing to serve you, just hope my lord might spare..."

Before finishing, the Spiritual Sign clung to the Divine Armor Guard's lower leg, hurriedly flying upwards.

For beneath the foot of the Divine Armor Guard, suddenly, a swirling sand vortex opened up.

Similarly three kilometers in diameter, even the Divine Armor Guard could lie horizontally inside!

Unfortunately, the ground of the Heavenly Realm Battlefield is not land, unable to drag the target underground.

Sand whips formed of fine sand flew out autonomously to attack, either whipping or entangling the body of the Divine Armor Guard.

The Spiritual Sign was not spared!

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~!" Seeing the sand whip strike, it emitted a terrifying sound as it broke through the air, and the Spiritual Sign almost ground its teeth to pieces.

Do these lowly creatures not know how to adapt?

What if I went too far?

Even if the Human Clan dies in swathes, so what?

You have already become a god! You were just looking down on the gods, would you care about the life and death of those ants?

What are you pretending for!

I don't believe you haven't trampled on any bugs in your life, or haven't stepped on an ant at the roadside.

As if I'm hugely guilty.

Ask yourself, do you really care?

"Clap! Clap..."

The Spiritual Sign summoned a defense talisman, and the small, illusory talisman suddenly enlarged, composed of pure energy, with quite remarkable defensive power, shielding its front, resisting the sand whips.

Thus, it leaned against the lower leg of the Divine Armor Guard, hiding behind the defense talisman, darting upwards.

Yet at this moment, something went wrong.

The Divine Armor Guard, entangled by the dense sand whips, naturally wanted to escape the swirling sand vortex.

It fiercely lifted its leg, breaking an unknown number of sand whips, also exposing the back of the Spiritual Sign.

"Fool! Put it down quickly!" The Spiritual Sign shouted angrily, hurriedly flying under the Divine Armor Guard's crotch.

At the same time, numerous thunderbolts slashed down, like massive waterfalls of electricity.

Jiang Ruyi dodged while sticking one Yin Thunder Talisman after another on the Divine Armor Guard.

She was not a swift type warrior; she couldn't recklessly enter and exit the battlefield like Lu Ran or Yan Shuangzi.

The Divine Armor Guard was a hurdle she was destined not to bypass.

And summoning such a majestic giant consumed considerable energy for the Spiritual Sign! So Jiang Ruyi didn't mind putting in some effort to shatter the Divine Armor Guard.

If the Spiritual Sign was stubborn enough to summon another Divine Armor Guard, she would be more than happy to engage in an energy warfare with it.

Indeed, the Spiritual Sign Sect possesses auxiliary talismans, continuously replenishing the caster's divine power, but the energy the Spiritual Sign accumulated and can truly use has become scant over time.

In a life-and-death battle like this, the Spiritual Sign can't replenish its energy.

"My lord, calm your anger, earlier it was I..."

"Boom!" The response to the Spiritual Sign was an explosive eruption of flames.

Layers of fire spread from the Divine Armor Guard's waist, the fierce blast waves even pushed it back a step.

The Spiritual Sign's gaze turned dangerously malicious!

It hid beneath the Divine Armor Guard's crotch, quickly moving sideways, flying to the back of its thigh to dodge the sweeping flames.

"If my lord continues to press hard, I can only offend!" The Spiritual Sign shouted loudly.

Such a scenario was truly absurd.

Jiang Ruyi repeatedly demonstrated through her actions that she intended to kill the opponent, yet even so, in words, the Spiritual Sign remained respectful, still trying to leave a way out for itself.

In contrast, when facing weak Human Clan believers, the Spiritual Sign was sinister and vicious, possessing every nasty trick.

"Ring ring~ ring~"

The Thousand Autumn Bell chimed, crisp and pleasant.

Jiang Ruyi was not affected in the slightest; she followed the bell sound, flying around the side of the Divine Armor Guard's leg.

The Yin Thunder Symbols were exceedingly fierce! One bolt after another struck the Divine Armor Guard, forcing it back, and because its legs were bound by countless sand whips, it staggered backward.

The Divine Armor Guard... really felt aggrieved.

It originally had a chance to wreak havoc, but with just a leg lift, it was harshly berated by its master, left to drop its leg and continue providing cover for its master.

Unable to move, it tried hard to interfere with the enemy.

Bound and restricted this way, naturally it was bombarded relentlessly.

"Whoosh~ whoosh~"

"Whoosh!!" As the Divine Armor Guard toppled, the churning firewaves scattered widely, sending forth a volley of illusory talismans that struck as if javelins.

Split into nine, then another nine.

This was an output talisman, a famously renowned Divine Sword Talisman!

A full 81 Divine Sword Talismans moved with the caster's heart thought, flying towards Jiang Ruyi.

Their speed was astonishing, their fierceness breathtaking!

Just how fierce were they?

Comparable to the flying swords of the Sword One Sect!

From afar, the Spiritual Sign hid behind a giant defense talisman, revealing half its face.

A solitary eye skimmed over the dense Divine Sword Talismans, gazing at the illustrious empress.

The sinister gaze sent chills down one's spine.
