Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 494: 457... Xianxian?


The progression of a Divine Weapon is far quicker than the advancement of the Human Clan.

After all, the key to unlocking the Divine Weapon Domain lies in understanding.

Soon, Lu Ran received a voice transmission from Yan Shuangzi: [Sect Leader.]

[Congratulations!]Lu Ran immediately offered his congratulations and promptly asked, [What is the effect of the Domain?]

[Waning Moon.]

[What does that mean?] Lu Ran was both expectant and puzzled.

[I can slash a crescent-shaped sword trace, which can linger in the world or vanish immediately at my will.]

Lu Ran: "..."

Is this a Divine Weapon Domain?

It sounds like a minor move, doesn't it?

Look at the Dawn Blade Domain·Blessed Cloud, that's a force that can destroy worlds.

And recall the Domain wielded by Liao Wushuang's Divine Weapon in Beifeng City, which could summon a large number of Wind Blades within a certain range!

They were dense, crisscrossing.

The scene was spectacular, with the potential to shred the enemy into thousands of pieces!

And this Evil Moon Scimitar's Divine Weapon Domain...

[Is the Sect Leader dissatisfied?]

[Satisfied, of course satisfied! It's a Divine Weapon Domain after all!] Lu Ran said, contrary to his true feelings, hastily speaking.

He was worried Yan Shuangzi might do something extreme.

Lu Ran continued the voice transmission: [I assume the sword trace you slash out has considerable destructive power... By the way! You just said the Waning Moon you slash out is suspended, not hurled out?]

[It's suspended; targets that touch the Waning Moon will have their flesh torn and wounds rot.]

Lu Ran's mouth formed an "O" shape!

Flesh torn, wounds rotting?

As expected!

How bad could a Divine Weapon Domain be?

Thinking from another angle, this "little measure" has its advantages.

For example, once the Dawn Domain is activated, it's quite the commotion; the enemy is more or less aware of it.

But with the Evil Moon Scimitar, who could react in time when a sudden Waning Moon is slashed out?

Lu Ran's heart settled, and he transmitted: [Meet me at the cliff bottom cave.]

[Yes!] In the seclusion room, Yan Shuangzi wielded the Evil Moon Scimitar, and her figure flickered.

Lu Ran, meanwhile, located the enemy's body within the mountain, the very sneaky one who first landed and dug the tunnel.

When he left the tunnel earlier, Lu Ran was focused on taking his Divine Power Pearl, leaving the skeleton here temporarily.

Moments later, in the cliff bottom cave, a floor-to-ceiling mirror quietly opened.

Lu Ran emerged, carrying the body, and casually tossed the "tough guy" onto the ground before looking towards Yan Shuangzi:

"Come on, show me!"

Yan Shuangzi gripped the Black Ice Scimitar tightly and swung it powerfully.

A Waning Moon appeared, as black as ink.

The black arc just hovered in mid-air, blending seamlessly with the dark environment.

"Wow~" Lu Ran grinned.

So sinister?

In the cave where Lu Ran was, facing the sea and located at the base of Cloud Sea Cliff, there was also a thin mist swirling inside.

If not for the mist as a background, Lu Ran might not have even noticed the black Waning Moon with the naked eye!

Yan Shuangzi, following the guidance of the Evil Moon Scimitar, found the enemy's body.

"Sizzle!"

The black Waning Moon hovered horizontally in mid-air, while the corpse was thrown vertically.

In an instant, the body was sliced in half!

The two halves fell to the ground, the cross-section meat tainted with a layer of black energy.

Like ink!

And the body soaked in the ink was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Wow?" Lu Ran widened his eyes slightly, truly startled.

Yan Shuangzi silently sheathed her blade behind her, standing quietly.

After a long while, Lu Ran looked at Yan Shuangzi again, full of admiration: "How did you comprehend such a unique Domain?"

Introspectively, Lu Ran doubted he could ever conceive or initiate such a Divine Weapon Domain if it were him.

Yan Shuangzi responded honestly: "I traced the contour of the Evil Moon Scimitar with my fingers as usual, inadvertently sketching the shape of the Waning Moon in my mind.

The rest was guided by the Evil Moon Scimitar, which has been a Divine Weapon for over ten years and has much of its own insights."

Lu Ran clicked his tongue in praise: "To make the wound rot, such a unique effect—we owe it to the guidance of the Evil Moon Scimitar..."

Yan Shuangzi replied softly: "In this aspect, the Evil Moon is grateful to me."

"Hmm?" Lu Ran was surprised, "This direction of understanding wasn't provided by Evil Moon, but something you came up with?"

Yan Shuangzi shook her head: "I didn't intentionally think about it; it all happened naturally."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran was even more surprised: "This..."

If faced with others' surprise, Yan Shuangzi might fall silent.

But facing Lu Ran, Yan Shuangzi responded truthfully, murmuring: "It might be because I always longed to tear their flesh and crush their bones."

Lu Ran stared at Yan Shuangzi in a daze.

He knew, of course, who she meant by "they."

Sword Ridge Peak inflicted indelible trauma on Yan Shuangzi, a dual blow to body and spirit.

Since Yan Shuangzi was rescued by Lu Ran, she had always seen herself as a stray, a wild dog, an Evil Dog.

Even when Lu Ran asked her to choose a code name, she unhesitatingly wanted to call herself an Evil Dog.

Yet Lu Ran couldn't bear her belittling herself like this, forcibly changing "Dog" to "Shadow."

Yan Shuangzi once said she lived like a dog.

In the Human World, she was the foolish loyal dog of Divine·Beifeng.

On Sword Ridge Peak, she was a blind dog, led to be slaughtered and tormented.

Given that, she decided to live up to their expectations and tear their flesh, crush their bones...

Lu Ran suddenly realized an issue!

Yan Shuangzi didn't first outline the black crescent and then delve step by step to eventually comprehend the Divine Weapon Domain.

Instead, her own obsession with tearing apart enemies gave her the qualifications to envision the black moon in her mind!

The black Waning Moon is merely the surface, the external form.

The true effect of this Divine Weapon Domain is to decay the enemy's flesh!

And Yan Shuangzi's obsession aligns perfectly with the essence of this Divine Weapon Domain.

Thus, she could lead the Evil Moon Scimitar to find the right direction of comprehension...

"Evil Shadow." Lu Ran sighed heavily.

Yan Shuangzi lowered her head, silent.

Lu Ran stepped forward, carefully avoiding the still horizontally suspended black Waning Moon, coming before Yan Shuangzi.

His expression was complex, and he placed a hand on her shoulder: "I guarantee you, we will return to Sword Ridge Peak!

I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Yan Shuangzi knelt on one knee, her head bowed low.

Lu Ran opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, then finally said: "Handle the body, return to the top of the cliff, and continue the guard duty."

"Yes," Yan Shuangzi responded solemnly.

Lu Ran patted Yan Shuangzi's shoulder again, and his figure vanished in a flash.

Soon, the Evil Moon Scimitar joined the patrol group.

Along with the Dawn Blade, Colorful Bow, and A River of Mist Fan, it flew around Cloud Sea Cliff, searching for any potential enemies.

As for Yu Changsheng's other Divine Weapon, the Cold Moon Sword, it didn't join the patrol team.

This sword has no recognized master; even when encountering someone like Yu Changsheng, such an immortal character, the Cold Moon Sword remained unmoved.

Looking to share open-hearted communication with me?

Forget it.

If you want to use it, use it, no problem, I won't run, but don't expect me to perform well either.

The main point is "not proactive, not rejecting, and not responsible."

Just like a classic player~

For Yu Changsheng to truly own this Divine Weapon, seems a long journey ahead.

For the next few days, Lu Ran was constantly on edge.

He absorbed the rich Divine Power between heaven and earth, nourishing himself, all the while diligently guarding Cloud Sea Cliff.

Fortunately, the days were relatively peaceful.

Until the afternoon of May 29th on the lunar calendar, the fog between heaven and earth gradually thinned.

Lu Ran received the news immediately.

Because, the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd was always in the seclusion room, placed on the ground in front of Xun Yifei.

A circle of wind waves emanated from Xun Yifei, blowing the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd away by several meters!

If the little Blazing Phoenix hadn't reacted quickly to stabilize itself mid-air, it might have been embedded into the wall...

"Succeeded?" Lu Ran was overjoyed, sensing the thoughts of the little Blazing Phoenix.

This Magic Artifact's Artifact Spirit was quite interesting; it rarely spoke, and every time it connected with its master's spirit, Lu Ran mostly felt the emotional fluctuations of the little Blazing Phoenix.

Lu Ran immediately went to the back of the Council Hall.

Inside the mountain of Cloud Sea Cliff, there are seven seclusion rooms, each with a different entrance.

Lu Ran waited for a moment, and the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd flew out from the woods.

"Whew~"

The gourd danced around Lu Ran, its exquisite golden phoenix pattern shimmering brightly.

"Were you well-fed?" Lu Ran couldn't help but smile and ask.

The Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd traced a wave-like line, seeming to be in a good mood.

"Sect Leader!" Xun Yifei also emerged from the woods, quickly approaching and cupping his hands in salute to Lu Ran.

"Good, good, good!" Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, looking up and down at his Divine General.

Xun Yifei had just successfully advanced, and there was still a slight divinity lingering around him.

Especially those deeply wise eyes, now glowing brilliantly, making Lu Ran very pleased.

"Thanks to the Sect Leader's protection, and thanks to all the colleagues," Xun Yifei expressed his gratitude.

Behind Lu Ran, the members of the Ran Sect gathered.

They also noticed the thinning mist, and came rushing over, now offering congratulations to Xun Yifei.

After several days, the tense atmosphere of Cloud Sea Cliff finally had some relief and joy.

Lu Ran smiled and said: "Xun, you'd best stay in the seclusion room for a few more days to consolidate your strength..."

Before he finished his sentence, Lu Ran's expression changed, immediately transmitting mentally: [What's wrong, Dawn? Is there an enemy?]

Dawn Blade: [No enemies found, nor was it me who summoned the master.]

Lu Ran paused, was it not Dawn Blade just now who called him?

Then it was...

[Master!]

[Silent Night? What's wrong?] Lu Ran suddenly tensed up.

The Silent Night Blade was always quiet, so what major event could have prompted it to speak?

Silent Night Blade: [Your friend.]

Lu Ran's face darkened, immediately asking: [What happened to He Qifeng? Were you attacked by villains?]

Silent Night Blade responded: [No, it's not the master's friend, but the maidservant of the lady master.]

Lu Ran felt a "boom" in his head!

Si... Si Xianxian?!
