Summit of the Old Gods

Always remember: do not teleport first and then attack; instead, thrust out your blade first and then flicker.

Ran Sect Blade Technique Third Form·Shuo Star!

"Swish~" In the instant Lu Ran appeared with a flicker, his expression changed drastically!

He was already fast, his teleportation was quick, and his attack speed even quicker.

But at the moment he appeared, the forward-thrusting blade did not pierce the Evil Spear Emperor's chest, the tip of the sword was only half an inch away from the Evil Sculpture!

A miss by a fraction, a miss by a mile.

Half an inch, and it didn't hit.

The Evil Spear Emperor slightly leaned back, his feet stepping on clouds as he flew backward, the Evil Cloud Spear in his hand already sweeping down.

The offensive was swift, and crucially, exceedingly precise!

The tiny Lu Ran was already covered by the Black Mist Gun Head overhead.

At the tip of the Eight Desolate Blade, terrifying energies had nowhere to be released, the dazzling white light tearing out web-like patterns in midair.

Lu Ran dared not go all out, he directly held the blade upward to pierce the spear.

Unexpectedly, with the buff of the Divine Weapon Domain·One Blade Opens Heaven, the Eight Desolate Blade would surely pierce through the Evil Cloud Spear! But Lu Ran was too small, his blade even smaller.

What would be the consequence after the blade pierced into the giant gun head?

The shattered Evil Cloud Gun Head could directly fall upon Lu Ran's body, tearing him apart completely!

"Swish~"

In a split second, Lu Ran targeted the gap at the Evil Spear Emperor's waist and abdomen, his figure thrusting forward again.

The Evil Spear Emperor rode on clouds, his flight speed unfathomably fast.

He had just slightly leaned back, but now slightly turned sideways, like a prophet, the Black Gold Emperor Robe lifting directly.

"Squeak!"

The Eight Desolate Blade could indeed pierce through everything.

But what Lu Ran shattered was not the Evil Sculpture Body, but a monstrous black wave-like, surging torrent.

"Splat!"

The tiny Human Clan was directly swept away.

"Uh." Lu Ran let out a muffled groan, the recently donned Black Gold Emperor Robe was forcibly shattered.

The pirated Heavenly Grade Emperor Robe encountered the original Divine Grade item!

Even though the Evil Cloud Robe is essentially a defense technique, it still utterly crushed the inferior product.

Luckily, it was merely defensive clothing.

If it had been an output technique, not to mention Lu Ran's Heavenly Grade Clothing, even his Water Flow Armor and Heavenly Realm Body probably wouldn't have escaped unscathed.

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran's face turned extremely grim, like a cannonball, he was flung out.

The moment he was swept away by the Divine Grade Evil Cloud Robe, those surging waves of Divine Power seemed to shake his internal organs out of place.

Lu Ran only felt his vital energy and blood churning, the pain unbearable.

Yet he had no time to adjust, he was already plunged into the range of a long gun downpour.

"Brother!!"

"Sect Leader, look out for the spear!"

"Be careful... Ah!" Amidst bursts of exclamations, Lu Ran traversed through the black spear rain.

The Smoke and Mist Silk quickly reached back, trying to brace against the massive spear shaft behind him to prevent the master from crashing into it, only to find the master's backward flight slow, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, dodging to the side.

Martial Artist Divine Skill--Swallow Flip!

Even with the pouring spear rain, Lu Ran could flutter lightly like a falling leaf in the wind.

Seeing this scene, everyone finally relaxed a bit.

But considering the formidable strength of the Evil Spear Emperor, Lu Ran still had to contend with this top-class First-class Evil God of Da Xia...

How could everyone truly settle down?

"Uh~" Lu Ran once again stood on the ground, gazing up at the Evil Spear Emperor.

"Human Clan, your offensive is easily predicted." The Evil Spear Emperor looked down at the young man in the sea of fog, strips of black mist wandering over his body.

"Heh." Lu Ran chuckled slightly.

Indeed, those strips of black mist may appear chaotic, but where they entwine and crawl to, isn't it all according to the Evil Spear Emperor's intent?

The opponent carved out forbidden areas. Consequently, the remaining areas naturally awaited the enemy's attack.

The Evil Spear Emperor also chuckled, his smile carrying a hint of mockery:

"You've slain so many First-class Gods, I thought you were special."

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "I never gave them a chance to react, let alone a chance to exert themselves."

The Evil Spear Emperor lightly nodded: "Your ability to seize the Red Silence Domain from Nu Ying indeed shows some skill, but that's all to it."

Now, with no subordinates assisting, your tricks have no ground to stand on.

Human Clan, you should run away, abandon your dignity and promises, let go of the ones you care about, and you might survive."

"Boom!!" Lu Ran slightly turned, letting a black spear stab down like a thick stone pillar smashing beside him.

His eyes still locked on the Evil Spear Emperor, he slowly shook his head.

"Hehe." The Evil Spear Emperor sneered, a contemptuous expression perfectly matching his face, "Just being brushed by the robe almost crushed you.

Can't you see the gap between us, or are you unwilling to admit it?"

"I recognize the gap, of course, physical strength, power realm, Divine Technique grade... but one point!"

Suddenly, raging flames erupted from Lu Ran's body, and he pushed one hand upward diagonally.

"Whoosh!!"

A thick pillar of fire emerged abruptly, rampaging through the rain of black spears, overturning countless long spears and roaring straight at the Evil Spear Emperor's face.

The Evil Spear Emperor stepped on a black cloud, swiftly moving sideways.

The pillar of fire brushed past his chest, continuing to slant upwards, soaring towards the overcast clouds.

Lu Ran's hand swept across horizontally, causing the Evil Spear Emperor's robe to flutter.

The Sea-piercing Flame was obstructed before the Evil Spear Emperor's head by the Emperor Robe.

"Crack!!"

The Divine Grade Evil Cloud Robe exploded with a roar.

The Evil Spear Emperor jerked back, simultaneously spinning sideways, feet stepping on a black cloud, flying swiftly.

His movements were as fluid as flowing water.

The Evil God was extraordinarily graceful, and along his trajectory, came an equally carefree remark:

"I think, we're both but a blade's worth!"

Let's see who shatters whom first!

The Evil Spear Emperor's eyes narrowed, seeing Lu Ran flash forward at high speed, darting left and right, rapidly closing in.

"Hoo~" The black mist lines on the Evil Spear Emperor's body faded and appeared again, instantly spreading across his face and body.

A surge of killing intent flashed in Lu Ran's eyes, he had waited for precisely this moment!

He swung his blade forward fiercely, then suddenly flashed again, appearing directly behind the Evil Spear Emperor.

"Hoo!"

Lu Ran: !!!

He followed his plan, arriving behind the Evil Spear Emperor, but directly flashed into a dark golden beam.

At the moment when the Evil Spear Emperor covered in black mist, he had already activated the hair binding crown on his head, projecting beams backward.

In an instant, the Purification Skill helped Lu Ran clear away the impurities.

But in that very moment, the Evil Spear Emperor had already half-turned, his sleeve fluttering with a wave.

"Hoo~"

This time, Lu Ran was not blown away.

Since there was a brief interference, and the attack failed, Lu Ran smoothly initiated the Swallow Flip, responding to the ever-changing situation with a consistent strategy.

Sure enough, the Evil Spear Emperor's attack arrived as expected, and Lu Ran's small figure was pushed out by the Divine Power Waves before the robe could blow him away.

Lu Ran was very certain, this round wasn't due to the Evil Spear Emperor's quick reaction!

It was experience, battle intelligence, pure anticipation!

The only fortunate thing for Lu Ran was that the distance between them was too close, and the Evil Spear Emperor was using his sleeve, unable to thrust with the long spear.

No, there was something else to be thankful for.

In the process of being knocked back, Lu Ran suddenly recalled the figures of the Martial Monk, Martial Artist, Blood Skull, and so on.

Especially Blood Skull!

Fortunately, he had used the Domain of Silence to constrain that guy, then the Ran Sect Gods displayed their Divine Skills.

If it had come down to a one-on-one battle with Blood Skull... in just a few rounds, would he have already died abruptly?

Truth be told, Lu Ran was, after all, a Heavenly Realm individual.

Whether it was the imaginary enemy Blood Skull or the Evil Spear Emperor he was facing now, he was fighting downwards. If Lu Ran were in the God Realm, it would be a completely different scene.

"Hoo!" Lu Ran raised his hand for another Sea-piercing Flame.

The Evil Spear Emperor deftly tilted his head, his figure swiftly falling diagonally downward, with a man and an Evil God swapping positions.

"Your offensive tactics are easy to predict." The repeated words were quite sarcastic.

Lu Ran twirled the blade in his hand, his two fingers slowly sliding over the blade, calming the agitated heart of the Eight Desolate Blade:

"Don't worry, this blade will pierce your head sooner or later."

The Evil Spear Emperor looked up at the Human Clan youth, the corners of his lips slightly curving: "Still unwilling to face the gap between you and me? Next time, you won't be so lucky."

"Mutual." Lu Ran replied, his mind racing with thoughts.

Previously, during sparring and competition with Yan Chou, the two had developed many tactics, but in the face of a real Evil God, the absolute disparity in strength almost tore apart all plans.

"Heh." The Evil Spear Emperor chuckled and shook his head, suddenly changing the subject, "I have read your Da Xia's history.

In just a few thousand years, it's been quite a spectacle, with emperors emerging one after another."

Lu Ran: ?

"Your historical records state there was once a king who slit his throat in Wujiang."

The Evil Spear Emperor turned his head to look at the warriors of the Ran Sect, gazing at those faces, each either serious, tense, or full of anticipation.

And it was at this moment that a huge Blood Mask suddenly appeared in front of the Evil Spear Emperor.

The Blood Crystal Mask took action!

Perhaps feeling the enemy was too noisy?

The Evil Spear Emperor immediately leaned his head back, not letting the mask cover his lower face.

Yet amidst these rich Divine Power waves, there hid the Divine Power Waves of another skill—Evil Shadow Flash!

Lu Ran, taking advantage of the Blood Mask's cover, appeared right in front of the Evil Spear Emperor's face.

This time, he wasn't stubborn.

Lu Ran did not stab forward with his blade, and in going after the ultimate output, there was no need to worry about getting soaked in black mist, or being briefly interrupted while casting.

At a distance of merely twenty meters from the Evil Spear Emperor, he directly launched a massive fire column.

Shooting straight at the Emperor's face!

Evil Spear Emperor: !!!

With a loud "bang".

The Evil Spear Emperor was unable to dodge, half his face was blasted by the fire column, his upper body twisted hard to lie back, habituated to turn horizontally.

Lu Ran had anticipated this well, having thoroughly read the enemy's evasion habits, he too flew forward at high speed, his palm moving horizontally, sweeping the Sea-piercing Flame along.

"Crack!"

The swirling Evil Cloud Robe was shattered with a loud crash!

The Evil Spear Emperor, while hammered by the massive fire column, was rapidly slammed diagonally to the ground.

Lu Ran pursued straight down, the flames of cross-level slaughter burning on his body, with the Sea-piercing Flame in his hand becoming increasingly fierce.

"Hoo!!"

Very abruptly, the pitch-black cloud spread out, like a domain rapidly unfolding, madly polluting the Heavenly Realm Battlefield.

Completely engulfing the small Human Clan within.

The Evil Spear Emperor Clan's ultimate move—Evil Cloud Spear Prison!

That Evil Spear Emperor, pressed to the ground and bombarded fiercely, quietly vanished.

Amidst the dark clouds, the Evil Spear Emperor's voice echoed: "I have given you opportunities.

Again and again."

Lu Ran stood alone in the pitch-black cloud, drawing the Dawn Blade from his waist, with a brilliant sunset hue quietly emerging amidst the utter darkness:

"You and I, we might each have our own Wujiang."
