Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 819: The Silent Night Blade’s Humming...


At the end of October, having prepared everything, Lu Ran once again led his team to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

He didn't wait for Jiang Ruyi to complete her advancement. Considering the days, she might still need half a month, or even twenty days, to level up.

With that time, Lu Ran could possibly train the newly inducted Martial Emperor up to the second level of the Heavenly Realm!

This time, ascending to the heavens, Lu Ran's team had an additional member—the Nightmare Guardian.

She had used her physical strength of the first level of the Heavenly Realm to bring a host of divine weapons and magic artifacts from her stone sculpture body, and once again returned to Lu Ran's side.

Accompanying him on the journey to find the Divine Mountain.

The Heavenly Realm Battlefield has no distinction of southeast, northwest.

Nor does it have the alternation of day and night.

This world is forever in a state of dimness, with a dense cloud sea overhead, and a thick sea of fog drifting below.

After staying here for a long time, everyone can't feel the passage of time.

Everywhere they look, it's the same scenery, making Lu Ran feel as if they are treading in place...

Perhaps on the eighth day, or on the ninth day, Lu Ran finally saw something different!

"There, I see it!"

Lu Ran, filled with excitement, couldn't help but speak up.

He quickly climbed a stone peak, gazing into the distance, under the gloomy sky in the distance, unusual weather appeared.

There was frost mist enshrouded!

Lu Ran employed the Paper Simurgh Evil Technique·Simurgh's Eyes, through the swirling frost snow, he saw an incredibly magnificent mountain!

"Oh!" Lu Ran slightly opened his mouth.

Knowing that those peaks immersed in the sea of fog, whether large or small, the tallest was only a few dozen meters.

And this so-called Divine Mountain...

connects heaven and earth!

"Little Lu~ don't forget to kill the donkey after the grinding!" A beautiful snake climbed the peak, came to Lu Ran's feet, and spoke cruel words in a gentle tone.

"Oh." Lu Ran snapped back to reality, retracting his gaze somewhat.

Hundreds of meters away in the sky, there was a dead soul slowly drifting towards the southwest.

This dead soul had a male figure, slender body, wearing a long white robe, with a small bamboo hat on his head.

His eyes were filled with a strange cold light, with unbound white hair fluttering in the wind.

Evil Demon·Ice Burial Man!

The "donkey" in Bai Rao's mouth was this poor fellow.

Because after the minions of the God Demon die, their souls drift to the nearest Divine Mountain, so along the way, after every slaughter, the group would leave a guiding soul behind.

This Ice Burial Man's dead soul was the one who took the baton yesterday.

Now, it's time to kill him as well.

"Phew~" Lu Ran soared high, quickly arriving behind the Ice Burial Man.

"Huh?" The Ice Burial Man immediately sensed a strange suction appeared, pulling him backward.

The Ice Burial Man's skin was already deathly pale, the illusory nature of the dead soul restored this point quite well.

Seeing the youth with a raincoat approach, looking at him coldly, the Ice Burial Man's complexion seemed even whiter...

Just yesterday, the Ice Butterfly-Ice Burial Man pair were still intimate partners, galloping in the vast world.

It was also yesterday, the beautiful Ice Butterfly's dead soul was devoured clean by the youth with a raincoat.

Leaving the lonely Ice Burial Man, like a solitary wandering soul, drifting desolately towards the southwest.

Now it seems,

Even the Divine Mountain, he cannot return to.

The raincoat youth came to devour him!

"Hiss! Hiss..." The Ice Burial Man struggled intensely, shrieking mournfully.

However, it was all in vain, as the dead soul continuously contracted, merging into the eyes of the raincoat youth.

The Ice Burial Man only felt darkness envelop him, arriving in a fog-shrouded world.

What greeted him was a stone goddess statue with a wide bamboo hat and a raincoat—Luo Ying!

After merging with the stone sculpture of spirits and demons, the Human Clan acquires its own thoughts, and is no longer just a "dead object".

Under the guidance of the master of spirits and demons, Luoshen would usurp, before the Evil Sculpture·Ice Burial Man, using a giant stone hand to grasp the dead soul, incorporating it into the stone sculpture.

"Hmm..." Luo Ying closed her eyes, emitting a nasal sound.

[Divine General Luoshen?]

Luo Ying quickly sent a voice transmission: [Apologies, Sect Leader, for disturbing you.]

[Seems like you enjoyed it quite a lot, didn't you?] Lu Ran, in a good mood, teased.

[Yesterday's Ice Butterfly, today's Ice Burial Man, both contain quite a lot of Holy Spirit Energy in their souls.] Luo Ying truthfully conveyed, reporting, [More potent than the energy in those Faceless Jade Venerable's dead souls before.]

[Good.]

On the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, Lu Ran steadily landed on the stone peak, once again gazing into the distance.

Deng Yuxiang landed beside Lu Ran, inquiring: "In this expanse, are there many dead souls?"

Vision is not Deng Yuxiang's strong suit, due to the distance being too far, she even couldn't see the Divine Mountain.

"There are some." Lu Ran squinted his eyes, observing carefully for a moment, casually extracting the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd, "The few of you, come over."

Two Heavenly Generals immediately gathered over.

"Enter the gourd to rest for a while, I'll sneak in to snatch some resources." Lu Ran whispered, directly absorbing the three into the gourd.

During frontal battles, the Nightmare Guardian, the Heavenly General Yan Bai, are naturally excellent helpers of Lu Ran.

Especially when fighting the minions of spirits and demons, these three are ferocious one after another, with incredible slaughter efficiency!

But in the shadows, Lu Ran is the true expert.

"Phew~"

With the three absorbed into the gourd, Lu Ran directly plunged into the thick sea of fog, disappearing within, transforming into the invisible.

With a few instances of instant teleportation, Lu Ran increasingly approached the Divine Mountain area, seeing everything more clearly.

Quite a number of dead souls were converging from all directions towards the Divine Mountain.

Seeing this, Lu Ran's fingers twitched with excitement!

Soon, among the peaks, in the sky and on the ground, he found the figure of Faceless Jade Venerable.

It was clear that their thoughts coincided with Lu Ran's.

However, the Faceless Jade Venerables were very in sync and did not enter the area shrouded in frost and snow.

Indeed, they lacked perception techniques and couldn't see through the frost and snow.

Lu Ran gathered all his focus, finally looking towards the towering Divine Mountain.

"Magnificent!"

He couldn't help but admire in his heart.

A mountain, ten thousand feet high, rose from the ground, towering and earth-shaking!

The part of the mountain reaching into the sky's sea of clouds wasn't even the peak! Could it be called the mountain's waist?

The majestic Divine Mountain was magnificent and grand.

And it was beautiful!

Because all over the Divine Mountain, mysterious, pitch-black lotuses were in full bloom.

Evil Demon Clan·Black Lotus!

If expected, once the Divine Mountain was attacked by enemies, phantoms of divine minions, Sword Lotuses, could rise from those huge black lotuses.

"How many flowers are there..." Lu Ran murmured in his heart.

Among the black lotus clusters were smaller clumps of ice-blue rose flowers scattered throughout.

Seventh-class Evil Demons·Ice Rose Clan!

The blooming black lotuses and roses almost covered the grand Divine Mountain.

Tsk tsk~

The Ice Burial Clan is really fortunate, aren't they?

Relying on a pair of Simurgh's Eyes, Lu Ran saw through the frost and snow, clearly seeing each Ice Burial Clan member wandering within the sea of flowers, guarding the Divine Mountain.

Occasionally, the phantom of a divine minion, Ice Butterfly, would appear on them.

The image of the Fifth-class God·Ice Butterfly itself was an exquisitely beautiful butterfly!

Lu Ran couldn't help but hover in the air, gazing intently and secretly appreciating it.

Among the chaotic flowers, the phantom of each ice crystal butterfly appeared in a beautiful ice-blue, with delicate, translucent wings, and adorned with sparkling ice crystals frozen on them.

It gave off a sensation of extreme coldness, exquisite delicacy, and a fragility that seemed easy to shatter.

"Ah..." Lu Ran sighed inwardly.

This was simply an artwork that deserved to be collected.

Beauty is justice!

As Lu Ran watched, the thought "You were born a fair lady, why become a thief" spurred in his mind.

In fact, he had this thought yesterday when he was "eating a butterfly".

Besides, did the Ice Burial Clan, like frozen corpses, serve as physical carriers for the Ice Butterflies?

Such a wonderful thing should appear in my Dragon Guardian's palm.

Or on the fingertips of little Ruyi.

Hmm... depends on the situation.

If I could keep a Pseudo God Stone Sculpture of an Ice Butterfly in the garden, maintaining its shape to keep and admire is also great.

The stone sculptures in the garden indeed seemed like dead objects without much subjective initiative unless united with the Human Clan.

But... as long as they're obedient, that's fine~

Lu Ran thought silently, quickly surveying his surroundings.

The presence of the Faceless Jade Venerables was indeed annoying, but fortunately, they couldn't clearly see the dead souls, only sensing them when they approached a certain range.

Lu Ran maximized his advantages, rapidly binding souls, and seizing resources.

In the Sculpture Garden, Luoshen began lavishly devouring, striving towards the second level of the Heavenly Realm.

Lu Ran was quite cautious, sneaking around the grand Divine Mountain, never approaching the area shrouded in frost and snow.

Once inside, he'd surely be perceived by the divine minion, Ice Butterfly.

Lu Ran didn't believe he could contend with a mountain full of flowers.

Even the arrogant Faceless Jade Venerables stayed respectfully outside...

So, could the area near this Divine Mountain be considered a suitable place for seclusion?

This mountain, occupied jointly by fourth, fifth, and seventh-class Gods and Demon minions, wasn't overwhelmingly strong in terms of power.

The crucial issue was their invincible perception ability.

Lu Ran frowned slightly, consistently feeling that this "Sea of Flowers God Mountain" wasn't as weak as it appeared.

Within the mountain, there should be strong Gods and Demons from the top three rows stationed, right?

"Buzz!!"

Very abruptly, the blade at Lu Ran's waist lightly trembled.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, reaching into his arms to grip the cold hilt.

This is... Silent Night Sword?!

Lu Ran was shocked and quickly retreated.

Unbeknownst to him, he was less than twenty kilometers from the Divine Mountain, his silhouette almost engulfed by the area shrouded in frost and snow.

[Master! I...]

The Silent Night Sword, usually silent, not only transmitted thoughts but trembled slightly.

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed as realization dawned on him.

The Sword Spirit of the Silent Night Sword stated deeply: [In that instant, I detected the presence of that Divine Weapon!]

Lu Ran's breath halted!

In the Heavenly Realm, believers only communicate with their gods within the Divine Mountain area.

Meanwhile, the Divine Weapon·Silent Night Sword, being near the Divine Mountain, sensed the Divine Weapon that has always suppressed it and blocked it from understanding its domain?

Does this mean...

That Divine Weapon is in an even higher heaven?

In the hands of the Divine Demon itself?!
