Summit of the Old Gods

"Boom—"

The muffled sound of war drums echoed once more, majestic and grand.

The Evil Spear Emperor was the first to strike, the hair binding golden crown atop his head suddenly lit up, shooting out a massive dark golden light beam toward the insignificant Human Clan.

Lu Ran was surrounded by immortal fog, a purification skill from the Jade-faced Snake clan.

On a spiritual level, he was immune to any spiritual output.

On a physical level, the pervasive immortal fog purified all impurities. Although it was merely a Heavenly Grade technique, it had a very high priority, capable of purifying unclean things beyond its level.

Even so, Lu Ran remained cautious, dodging to the side.

Tit for tat!

As he flew sideways, he reached out with one hand towards the Evil Spear Emperor, energy surging in his palm.

"Oh?" The Evil Spear Emperor was slightly surprised, suddenly feeling a chill envelop his body.

To say the least, Lu Ran took the battle very seriously, unprecedentedly using an extremely sinister skill—the Yin Bone Curse!

Since he activated the Thousand Bone Divine Sculpture, he'd never used this technique.

The Qian Bone Sect could curse the enemy, causing their bones to gradually age and decay, leading the target to move slowly and eventually become immobile.

The Evil Spear Emperor didn't have bones, but the technique still worked.

The target would be his entire stone-sculpted body!

Extremely rare, curse techniques are categorized separately, neither physical nor spiritual.

So, no matter how high his physical or spirit defense, the Evil Spear Emperor couldn't keep the curse out.

Breaking the curse required purification, or killing the caster.

In Lu Ran's world, there were only these two solutions, yet the Evil Spear Emperor provided a third way to solve the problem.

"Whoosh~~~"

His Emperor Robe flapped in the wind, the intangible aura of his emperor's presence greatly diminishing, dissolving the inexplicable chill around him.

Lu Ran frowned slightly, realizing that the curse power injected into the Evil Sculpture body was too little, causing the curse to fail!

That Emperor Robe was really bothersome, wasn't it?

But looking at it from another angle, when he wore that robe in the future, wouldn't he be even harder to kill?

"I've heard that, unlike other Human Clan stone sculptures, you've integrated all the Divine and Evil Techniques into one body."

The Evil Spear Emperor's cold expression changed slightly, looking at Lu Ran with curiosity, as if rare occurrences like this were hard to come by in his long existence.

"To overthrow the rule of Gods and Demons, one must have some skills." Lu Ran snorted, his figure flashing.

The Evil Spear Emperor, standing on a black cloud, suddenly flew sideways, immediately locating the insignificant Human Clan, sweeping his long spear swiftly.

Lu Ran's pupils slightly contracted!

He hadn't even touched the Emperor Robe, yet a fatal strike was incoming!

Indeed, there was no doubt that as a deity, every move the Evil Spear Emperor made was lethal to Lu Ran.

The black mist long spear in the Evil Spear Emperor's hand was the Evil Technique·Evil Cloud Spear with a very strong penetrating effect.

"Swoosh~"

Lu Ran's figure flashed again, narrowly escaping!

The sharp spear tip swept rapidly, leaving a black mist arc in mid-air.

The Evil Spear Emperor turned his gaze southward, eyes fixed on the Human Clan youth, disregarding his somber expression, and indifferent to the fact that they were on a battlefield of life and death: "You can use my evil technique as well."

He was indeed an emperor who regarded himself above all, doing as he pleased.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Ran cooperated well, the pure white feather robe he wore was suddenly covered by a Black Gold Emperor Robe.

Evil Technique·Evil Cloud Robe!

The Evil Spear Emperor squinted at the Human Clan wearing the same attire, nodding slightly:

"You have a third of my style..."

Before the words fell, the insignificant Human Clan suddenly vanished.

Of course, Lu Ran wouldn't just flaunt his abilities to the enemy for no reason.

The reason he did was to create a momentary distraction for the Evil Spear Emperor.

The next moment, Lu Ran appeared at the back collar of the Evil Spear Emperor.

He had entered the lion's den alone!

"Hmm?" The Evil Spear Emperor let out a light nasal sound, tinged with a trace of anger, shaking the very core of the insignificant ant.

He raised his hand and slapped hard at the back of his neck, at the same time, black mist started to seep out from around his neck.

Evil Technique·Evil Cloud Entanglement!

This was a rather terrifying skill, the black mist could directly penetrate Lu Ran's Water Flow Armor, infiltrating his body, disrupting the operation of divine power, and limiting Lu Ran's spellcasting!

"Ugh." Lu Ran's face turned ashen.

The immortal fog surrounding him continued to protect him, purifying the surrounding impurities.

But the Divine Grade Evil Cloud Entanglement released by the Evil Spear Emperor was overwhelmingly dense! Lu Ran was pitifully small, completely engulfed.

"Ah ah ah!!" Lu Ran pressed his hands on the collar of the Emperor Robe, frantically urging divine power, yelling loudly for the first time.

From the Human World to the Mountain Realm, and onto the Heavenly Realm Battlefield...

Lu Ran had been treacherous and ruthless, but never as fierce as this time.

His battle roar on the battlefield didn't even match the volume when he faced his fiancée in daily life...

And this time, Lu Ran was truly anxious!

"Swoosh... Swoosh!!"

Lu Ran's figure flickered rapidly, disappearing with the Emperor Robe.

"Snap!" A loud sound spread across the sky.

The Evil Spear Emperor's massive hand slammed hard on the back of his neck, just a sliver away from crushing the human ant to death.

"Ah!" From a distance, Qiao Yuansi covered her mouth with one hand, but still couldn't help but cry out in shock.

The faces of most other soldiers were grim.

"It's alright, it's alright!" Si Xianxian held Jiang Ruyi's arm tightly, "The clothes are gone, which means the young master has teleported away, it's alright, it's alright."

The Mad Immortal Guardian was comforting the lady, and also reassuring himself.

Jiang Ruyi's expression was frighteningly cold, her eyes fixed on the Evil Spear Emperor, watching this Evil God who nearly crushed Lu Ran.

"Whoosh~~~"

The Emperor Robe fluttered, and when it returned to its senses, it was already a hundred kilometers away from the Divine Mountain of the Spear God.

It was clearly very angry, immediately surging, like a raging storm, determined to completely crush the human scum.

The Emperor Robe hadn't cast any spells just now, because once it went all out, the Evil Cloud Entanglement cast by its owner would quickly dissolve and completely dissipate.

Now it seemed, a spell should be tried!

"Swish~" The Emperor Robe covered the sky, surging like waves, and the small creatures within instantly teleported out of sight.

It proved that even with the Emperor Robe's spells, it couldn't hold Lu Ran.

The Evil Shadow Flash, unlike those techniques with external manifestations, wasn't cast outward, so the Emperor Robe naturally had no concrete suppression target.

"Heh... heh..." Lu Ran's chest heaved violently, returning to the Divine Mountain of the Spear God, looking up at the Evil Spear Emperor standing in mid-air.

With other opponents, Lu Ran could easily steal their clothes or snatch a magic artifact.

But with the Evil Spear Emperor, Lu Ran had truly walked through the Ghost Gate!

No wonder he's a first-class Evil God!

Lu Ran had teleported over when the other was slightly distracted; if the Evil Spear Emperor had been on full alert, what would that be like?

"I take back what I just said," the Evil Spear Emperor looked down at Lu Ran from above, without the wide robe, even his inner lining was quite gorgeous.

Coupled with his unique imperial demeanor and handsome face, it truly made others feel inferior.

The Evil Spear Emperor's gaze also returned to its usual indifference.

For petty thieves, he seemed somewhat disdainful.

"I came to regicide." Lu Ran stabilized his mind, reached forward with one hand, and ultimately carved the Yin Bone Curse onto the Evil Sculpture, "Your Emperor Robe is very protective, too much trouble."

The Evil Spear Emperor knew he couldn't escape the curse; he neither dodged nor retreated, calmly accepting it, and smoothly donned another Black Gold Emperor Robe.

That was obviously an Evil Technique, not the magic artifact a hundred kilometers away.

"Hmph." The Evil Spear Emperor snorted coldly, surrounded by seven black mist lines, like black mist snakes, slithering up and down his tall body.

It was impressive, his proficiency in Evil Techniques.

At least when Lu Ran cast the Evil Cloud Entanglement, he had to throw it outward, unable to manipulate it as freely.

The agile slithering black mist snakes were based on the Evil Sculpture's size; for the small Lu Ran, they were like giant pythons, capable of swallowing him in an instant.

Clearly, if Lu Ran wanted to get close enough to regicide, he would have to endure another dangerous episode.

With the help of the Purification Skill, the Evil Spear Emperor indeed couldn't stop Lu Ran's teleportation shuttling, but could impose some limitations!

As long as he could interfere, even dragging Lu Ran for a second, the Evil Spear Emperor could completely end this battle.

"Keep running," the Evil Spear Emperor looked down at Lu Ran, casually raised his hand, and pointed his spear diagonally at the sky.

In an instant, spearheads emerged from the cloudy sky, hanging high above everyone's head.

Densely packed, it made one's scalp tingle!

"Whoosh~ whoosh!"

"Whoosh!!" Black mist long spears shot down, incredibly fast, like a torrential rain.

Lu Ran rapidly descended, standing in the thick fog on the ground.

Under the cold gaze of the Evil Spear Emperor, the human youth did not teleport away.

Instead, did he choose a direct confrontation?

A few seconds later, the Evil Spear Emperor realized that Lu Ran's rapid descent was not a delaying tactic, but that he needed a footing.

The spear rain poured down.

The human youth, clad in the Black Gold Emperor Robe, dodged gracefully amidst the storm.

Sometimes swift, sometimes ethereal.

Twisting and turning, showcasing an indescribable composure of a strong person.

Keep in mind, these were Divine Grade Evil Techniques, and Lu Ran was a person of the Heavenly Realm! Any slightest mistake would result in him being crushed to powder.

Yet Lu Ran strolled leisurely in them, even tilting his head, eyes locked onto the Evil God.

Such a contemptuous, disrespectful stance seemed to intentionally provoke the enemy's wrath.

Perhaps it was.

At least Lu Ran wasn't flaunting his movement technique, just like the Black Gold Emperor Robe he just donned wasn't to show off his wealth.

"Buzz!" Lu Ran wielded the Eight Desolate Blade, the tip quietly radiating a brilliant glow.

That was a precursor to the Top-level Divine Weapon Domain-One Blade Opens the Sky!

The Evil Spear Emperor squinted slightly, clearly realizing something. Since the battle began, both sides have been reading each other.

"Hoo~" Lu Ran's robe fluttered, his figure ghostly, carefully observing the seven black mist snakes roaming on the Evil Spear Emperor.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed!

On the Evil Spear Emperor's chest, appeared a perfect "clearing".

"Whoosh!!"

Lu Ran gripped the Eight Desolates Annihilation Blade, his figure flashed.

...
