Summit of the Old Gods

The sound transmission merely disturbed his thoughts.

Jiang Ruyi clasped her hands together, fingers pressed against her lips, as she nervously watched the area where thunder and fire intertwined.

Unintentionally, she reverted to the little Ruyi from the Mist Realm and Stream Realm days, praying for his safe return.

This is the Sea Realm·Peak Great Power's released Divine Technique·Blazing Fire Camp Order!

Others couldn't hide fast enough, couldn't survive, yet Lu Ran dared to charge inside?!

"You better be worth it..." Jiang Ruyi murmured in her heart.

Wu Xiao,

You better be worth his actions.

"Whoosh!!"

Lu Ran plunged into the thunder and fire domain alone, and in no time, a scorched silhouette was blasted out from the other side of the domain.

[Evil Shadow Flash!]

[Instant Teleportation!]

[The enemy flew out!] Various sound transmissions simultaneously echoed in Lu Ran's mind, anxious and concerned.

In an instant, Lu Ran appeared high up in the sky.

Unexpectedly, it was not the Emperor Robe youth.

But rather a figure clad in a dazzling red dress, alluring and captivating.

Sea Grade Evil Technique·Tether Silk Robe!

Soon, an endless weave of red silk threads, piled thickly into a beautiful long dress, quietly dissipated.

The dignified, noble Emperor Robe youth was back online.

A quick costume change!

Jiang Ruyi chuckled in surprise, her heart finally at ease.

Lu Ran in a red dress, hmm... quite beautiful?

Lu Ran disappeared again, a crisp sound resonating from a farther area in the sky.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, Lu Ran appeared along Wu Xiao's path of flying backward, swinging a fierce slash downward!

The Eight Desolate Blade cut straight at the Black Iron Spear.

The Divine Weapon Spear couldn't react in time, and the severely injured Wu Xiao was powerless to grip the long spear tightly.

In an instant, man and weapon separated.

The Divine Sword at Wu Xiao's waist instinctively tried to resist, only to discover the Emperor Robe youth had already moved on.

Darting straight for the Divine Weapon·Black Iron Spear!

The Divine Sword secretly rejoiced.

Rejoiced that the Emperor Robe youth's target was not its own master.

It had always stayed by its master's side, hearing all the dialogue during the battle, and deduced the Emperor Robe youth's intentions.

"Whiz~"

The Divine Sword flew out, using its blade to press against its master's back, slowing Wu Xiao's trajectory and gently lowering him down.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Ran rose on a plume of black cloud, wielding the blade to charge at the Black Iron Spear!

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!!" Both Divine Weapons vibrated fiercely.

The First-rank Divine Weapon·Eight Desolates Annihilation Blade was aggressive, determined to succeed!

The Second-rank Divine Weapon·Black Iron Oblivion Spear was filled with sorrow and anger, fighting to the end!

The turning point,

lies with the Master of Divine Weapon!

On the Eight Desolate Blade, a long sword trace was drawn.

Night Charm Evil Technique·Night Shadow Charm Trace!

The Sea Grade Sword Trace stretched to 8 meters.

The incredibly sharp sword trace carried a terrifying ripping sound through the space it crossed, as if it intended to tear a hole in the world.

The Black Iron Spear stabilized in mid-air, trying to rise.

The Emperor Robe youth flashed by, carrying the Eight Desolate Blade.

"Snap!!"

Fierce Heavenly Power, Night Shadow Charm Trace.

Lu Ran granted the Eight Desolate Blade the right to cleave through everything, the blade precisely sliced into the spearhead, slicing along the long spear shaft, until the very end.

The Black Iron Spear was forcefully split open from head to toe...

"Buzz!!"

The Eight Desolate Blade vibrated fiercely, a terrifying energy diffusing across.

Lu Ran paused, turning to glance at the position where Wu Xiao was falling, a sound transmission in his mind: [Secure it.]

[Yes!] Yan Shuangzi responded, her figure flashed, taking the split Black Iron Spear into her embrace.

Lu Ran, wielding the trembling Eight Desolate Blade, flew toward Wu Xiao.

Over there, the battlefield had not ravaged.

The flowers still bloomed abundantly.

In the beautiful flower patch, Wu Xiao lay quietly with a charred body, his flesh and blood damaged, barely breathing.

Even as powerful as the Sea Realm physique, without the protection of Water Flow Armor, he struggled to withstand the output of the Sea Grade Divine Skill.

"Master! No..."

The blood-red horse shouted anxiously, trying hard to break free from Deng Yuxiang's restraint, flames swirling under its hooves, galloping towards Wu Xiao.

This time, Deng Yuxiang did not stop it.

She watched the horse leave, sighing lightly.

The young man in the Emperor Robe was the first to land beside Wu Xiao, the Divine Sword obediently staying still at their master's side.

"No! I'm begging you, don't..."

An anxious shout came from the side.

Lu Ran turned his head to see, only to find the body of the blood-red horse dispersing, and a woman in a red dress falling into the sea of flowers.

Liu Huo didn't attack, she was well aware that she couldn't possibly harm the other party in the slightest.

She just kept pleading, lifting the edge of her skirt in one hand, anxiously running.

Lu Ran silently watched the woman.

Indeed, she was a woman as beautiful as a pomegranate flower.

Her red dress was not ancient but purely modern in style, like an elegant evening gown.

The sea of flowers was colorful, with a dazzling array of purples and reds.

Yet it could not compare to the redness of the woman's tear-streaked eyes.

Underneath the gloomy sky,

Liu Huo was like a blossoming pomegranate flower, red as fire.

She lit up the dim world.

And selflessly, she charged toward an unknown fate.

"I beg you, sir! Spare his life, I'll do anything you say, I'll be your servant, I..."

Liu Huo fell to her knees at the feet of the young man in the Emperor Robe, blocking Wu Xiao, constantly pleading.

A sudden surge of Divine Power rose beside the young man, causing Liu Huo's crying voice to tremble even more.

"Take this."

Unexpectedly, a black fish radiating a strong life force was sent down.

Liu Huo's words halted, her tearful eyes looked up at the young man in the Emperor Robe.

"Resurrection Carp," Lu Ran's voice was gentle.

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" Liu Huo was momentarily stunned, then both surprised and overjoyed.

She trembled as she hurriedly cupped the small fish in her hands, turning to deliver it to the young man lying on the ground.

"Pfft~"

The Sea Grade Resurrection Carp was placed on Wu Xiao's shattered chest.

The damaged body, the charred torso, was healed with visible speed, growing fresh and fair skin and flesh.

"Xiao Bro?" Liu Huo knelt beside Wu Xiao, cautiously calling out, "Xiao Bro?"

Wu Xiao's eyes were vacant, as if he was gazing at the beautiful, tearful face before him.

Or maybe...he didn't care at all.

"Take this." Another small fish was given to Liu Huo.

Giving this panicked woman a glimmer of hope.

A touch of luxury.

"Thank you, thank you..." Liu Huo kept murmuring, cradling the Resurrection Carp, quickly placing it on Wu Xiao's face.

At that moment, she had no ability to think.

She, too, was human, and the moment her hand touched the Resurrection Carp, it should have shattered, healing her body.

But both Resurrection Carp passed through her hands, healing the man in the flower bed.

"Pfft!"

Lu Ran quietly cast his technique, watching the lifeless Wu Xiao.

The Resurrection Carp silently shattered, turning into endless energy, flowing into the fragmented human body.

The small fish was not just repairing flesh.

It was also imbuing this shell with immense life force.

"Whoosh~"

A gentle breeze blew, the sea of flowers swayed.

In the world, it seemed this one body was the only still thing.

No reaction at all.

"Xiao Bro..." Liu Huo wiped her tear-damp eyes with the back of her hand, calling Wu Xiao's name over and over again.

Jiang Ruyi led the team as they descended.

Hearing Liu Huo's mournful calls, even cold-hearted Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but reach out, gently linking arms with Lu Ran.

"Clink~"

A light golden fish flew out from Yu Changsheng's hand, entering Wu Xiao's body.

But the man lying in the flowers remained motionless.

You can never wake someone who is pretending to sleep.

Nor can you save someone who wishes to die.

"Waa..." Liu Huo could no longer hold back, collapsing onto Wu Xiao's body, bursting into tears.

"You once asked me, what kind of believer I am." Lu Ran's voice came through.

Liu Huo quickly stopped her sobs, but couldn't stop her choking.

"Now, have you found your answer?" Lu Ran stepped forward, half-kneeling, "I have wielded so many Divine Techniques and Evil Techniques, what kind of believer am I?

Am I a believer?"

Wu Xiao's eyes remained unclear, but finally, there was a flicker of movement.

"To you, I am no believer." Lu Ran's hand fell on Wu Xiao's face, his palm filled with black fire, enveloping Wu Xiao's body.

Through the fingers, Lu Ran looked into Wu Xiao's eyes: "I am the god you should truly revere for the rest of your life.

The one who will lead you to slaughter the myriad gods and demons across the sky."
