[This battle caused significant damage to the terrain.] A cold voice echoed in Lu Ran's mind.

[Hmm...] Lu Ran frowned deeply.

In previous battles, the Ran Sect directly targeted the Evil God.

Deng Yuxiang used the wind to disperse two dolls, while Lu Ran stabbed the Ghostly Eyes Ghost's kidney and then shattered the dragon's head.

This battle was different.

The Mad Immortal was too explosive!

The mountain forest was ablaze, continuously spreading, and the ground was riddled with holes, even blasted into a great rift.

Jiang Ruyi continued, [We just slew the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon not long ago, and now this place is scorched earth, engulfed in flames. I'm afraid it will make the Divine and Demon think of many things.]

Lu Ran's mind raced, proposing, [Let's divert blame to the east!]

Jiang Ruyi nodded gently, [I was thinking the same, divert it towards the Jade Talisman, how about that?]

[Alright!] Lu Ran nodded heavily.

Jiang Ruyi waved her stone hand, dispersing a total of 64 White Jade Stones from her body.

In four rings, the number of jade tablets from the inner circle to the outer circle were respectively 8, 8, 16, and 32.

Divine Grade·Jade Talisman Formation!

Each piece of White Jade Stone was about 30 meters long, 20 meters wide, and even 5 meters thick, an impressive scale.

Strange runes were engraved on each massive White Jade Stone, with sparks splashing, ice frost spreading, quicksand flowing, and lightning entwining the stones.

The four rings of jade stones were not all horizontal; they rotated slowly around their master with a slightly tilted angle.

They protected the Evil God·Xian Mo right at the center!

At first glance, Lu Ran thought he was seeing the final boss!

Lightning, fire, frost, sand, the jade cards were densely packed.

The visual impact was at maximum!

Lu Ran knew that his Evil God girlfriend not only had the Jade Talisman Formation but also a Ghost Talisman Formation.

If she wanted, she could summon 64 giant sheets of black talisman paper.

Hmm, even more like a boss...

The Immortal Sheep Master had once said that the Divine and Demon were split, and some skills were also divided.

The Jade Talisman Formation and the Ghost Talisman Formation should belong to these kinds?

In the future, when the Ran Sect seizes the Divine Position of the Divine·Jade Talisman, what kind of scene would it be when these two skills merge and return to their original form?

Lu Ran thought quietly, taking the shivering Divine General into his eyes.

"Swish~ Swish~"

Jiang Ruyi waved her stone hand, dropping the White Jade Stones entwined with quicksand.

Divine Grade·Jade Talisman Divine Method·Quicksand Talisman!

The fire-engulfed forest and the charred black land instantly transformed into a roaring Mud Flow River.

The lush forest was swept into it, the fire extinguished in an instant, and the shattered ground and charred land were completely swallowed by the Mud Flow River, churning and mixing.

Diversion of blame to the east!

After this method stopped, it would also leave traces of river flow undulating on the ground.

It was uncertain if the Jade Talisman Master could explain it clearly?

"Heh." Lu Ran sneered in his heart.

Jade Talisman old thief!

This blame is gifted to you first, don't be too polite with me.

There will be more good things for you in the future!

[Retreat!] Lu Ran, seeing that the energy had been divided, immediately ordered.

A group of stone sculptures flew towards Lu Ran.

Jiang Ruyi threw down another Quicksand Talisman, and the large rift created by the Mad Immortal was also completely swallowed by the Mud Flow River.

Thus, only the traces of battle with the Divine·Jade Talisman remained within the Demon Cave...

After several Instant Teleportations, Lu Ran plunged into the dense forest, cautiously observing his surroundings, summoning an Ancient Bronze Mirror into his hand.

In the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm·Heaven's Edge, a Landing Mirror rudely formed.

"Ugh~" Lu Ran stumbled out, dispersing the mirror with a wave of his hand.

He clutched his head with one hand, rubbing it in frustration.

"Buzz~" The Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd hanging from his waist shook repeatedly.

Lu Ran reached into his robe, grasping the chubby Treasure Gourd, knowing that the little Blazing Phoenix was eager to take action.

It wanted to swallow the Pseudo-God Stone Sculpture into its belly.

If it succeeded, the master wouldn't have such a splitting headache.

But Lu Ran dared not.

The Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd was a Third-rank Magical Artifact, matching the Heavenly Realm, whereas the process of a Pseudo-God ascending to godhood had terrifying fluctuations of divine power and a tremendous commotion!

He worried that the treasured gourd might not withstand the Holy Spirit Energy of such magnitude and feared it might shatter.

So far, the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd had only condensed divine power.

Lu Ran also dared not bring out the stone sculpture.

Becoming a god is no trivial matter, allowing no mistakes. He could not treat the Pseudo-God Stone Sculpture as a figurine, moving it around freely.

The Holy Spirit Mountain Realm was indeed remote, but the commotion of becoming a god was just too immense!

Lu Ran felt a bit daunted.

By comparison, the God Demon Sculpture Garden had absolute concealment and stability, ensuring no unexpected situations could occur.

At most, it would just cause Lu Ran some trouble...

"Wait until you ascend to Divine Grade." Afraid the little Blazing Phoenix wouldn't understand, Lu Ran added, "Wait until you reach the Fourth Rank, if you can control the Holy Spirit Energy, we'll try again."

"Buzz~" The Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd shook again, the Phoenix Pattern glowed faintly with golden light.

"Oh?" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

Did it mean that the little Blazing Phoenix was about to...

The faint golden light gradually dimmed.

Lu Ran: "..."

Oh, it turned out the little Blazing Phoenix was just expressing its will.

Alright~

It's good to have that intention.

Lu Ran held the little one close, gently patting it in encouragement.

[Lu Ran.]

[What is it?] Lu Ran immediately responded.

[You mentioned earlier that General Hua is advancing in rank, and the energy at the end of the earth is dense?]

[Yes.]In the dense fog, Lu Ran replied, [This concentration of Divine Power seems off, there must be others advancing.]

[Release the remnants of the Fake Gods to cultivate together.] Jiang Ruyi suggested.

[Alright.] Lu Ran agreed readily.

The remnants of the God Demons emerged, not interfering with the stone sculptures sharing the fruits of victory within the Sculpture Garden.

He flickered into the hall of Tianya Residence and sat heavily on the Taishi Chair.

"Hoo!!"

One by one, the remnants of the God Demons flew out from Lu Ran's eyes.

Some made physical bodies on the spot, while others didn't mind and remained as remnants.

But some had to create physical bodies: Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian.

These two girls were Evil Gods, and their remnants were massive, unable to be adjusted to Human Clan size.

Lu Ran noted a few names and then dismissed the others.

Yu Changsheng inquired with concern: "Sect Leader, should we discuss matters in a few days, given your current state..."

"Still manageable, currently only the Divine General in the garden is advancing." Lu Ran grinned.

The energy shattered from the Evil God·Tangled Silk Shadow mostly went into Bai Rao's mouth.

Bai Rao had already reached the Third Level of the Heavenly Realm, and further advancement was impossible.

Only a Divine Position could help her rise to the next level.

So the stone sculpture of Feng Rao within the garden was like a different kind of Divine Power Pearl. Jiang Ruyi could have Bai Rao gift one to any Fake God she wanted to advance.

Conservative estimates suggest that the Origin Energy shared by Bai Rao, combined with Source Energy divided among others, could help two warriors reach the Third Level of the Heavenly Realm.

"Everyone, for the next stage's objectives, I have a thought." Lu Ran straightforwardly said.

In the dense fog, a few people listened intently.

"On my last return to the Human World, Lord Immortal Sheep informed me that the God Demon faction has reacted..."

After briefly explaining, Lu Ran said solemnly, "As we continue our missions, the God Demons' reactions will only increase!"

The God Demon faction seemed united against outsiders, but essentially each has its own interests and small group.

Within those groups, God Demons plotted against and even battled each other. Yet, as situations change, the God Demon faction will always adapt.

In the face of significant crisis, even the aloof God Demons will unite and collaborate.

The obstacles we face will grow continuously!

Until one day, Ran Sect might no longer have the chance to ambush.

Lu Ran conveyed his judgment, which left everyone nodding quietly.

Currently, Ran Sect was living the good life, but such days are slowly leaving.

"That's why the Young Master insisted on killing the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon early on." A light sigh came from Huangfu Zhao in the fog.

Huangfu Zhao, representing the old Cloud Sea subordinates, had long been part of Ran Sect's decision-making circle, naturally qualified to attend.

Besides him, Ran Sect's Lady, the Nightmare Guardian, and the Dragon Guardian were present.

As well as the lingering Mad Immortal Guardian.

Deng Yuxiang spoke, "The more we kill, the more difficult the tasks become. The choice of the next target is crucial."

Yu Changsheng nodded in agreement: "So far, our choices have been well-considered."

Lu Ran chuckled and said, "Excellence shouldn't avoid kinship. Mr. Cong Long, your wife's Becoming a God is necessary for Ran Sect."

Yu Changsheng: "..."

"She will prevent Ran Sect from being crippled." Lu Ran solemnly added, "From now on, we have spiritual control with the Ghostly Eyes Ghost, physical control with the Divine General."

"Hmm." Yu Changsheng nodded in agreement, feeling a bit strange at the term "your wife."

Lu Ran said gravely, "With our current output and dual control, we can handle most scenarios. So, shall we enhance our survival abilities?"

"Survival abilities." Jiang Ruyi pondered, "You're planning to..."

"Evil Dog!" Lu Ran directly stated.

The room fell silent.

Lu Ran sighed silently.

With someone's support already voiced, if the others remained silent, perhaps not wanting to oppose him.

Evil Dog indeed had low intelligence, but the Instant Teleportation Technique is clearly there, Evil Dog is also savage, easily enraged, yet has an instinct to avoid harm.

If it chooses to flee, who could stop it?

In some ways, Evil Dog was more threatening than the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon.

In a fight against the Flame Flood Dragon, a slight misstep leads to complete disaster, but others still have a chance to win.

In a battle with Evil Dog, if it flees...

Ran Sect would be utterly exposed to the God Demon faction.

"Technically, we could replicate the battle against the Flame Flood Dragon." Lu Ran proposed, "I stand on the Ghostly Eyes Ghost's nose and bleat to lure Evil Dog to lock eyes with the Ghostly Eyes Ghost?"

No one spoke still.

The Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon was indeed controlled by the Ghostly Eyes Ghost, but when attacked, it instinctively twisted and turned its head many times...

In similar circumstances, if it were the Evil Dog, it could vanish instantly!

Lu Ran continued: "With the Divine General's Silk Thread, Evil Dog probably wouldn't escape, right?"

Obviously, Lu Ran considered this, planning for dual spiritual and physical control.

Jiang Ruyi suddenly said, "Is the Silent Night Blade's Domain of Silence wielded by Nu Ying's Divine Weapon?"

"God Demons guarding the frontlines are difficult to move." Lu Ran shook his head helplessly, "Lord Immortal Sheep personally advised that, at least for now, it shouldn't be moved. Our good days were already numbered.

Weakening the frontline only speeds up changes in the war."

Ran Sect still needs to exploit the early stage where God Demons have conflicting interests and can't unite, arming itself as much as possible.

Preparing for the future great battle!

"Mr. Cong Long."

"Sect Leader." Yu Changsheng felt a bitter heart, secretly lamenting the Sect Master's stubbornness.

But he heard Lu Ran say, "What if I add a procedure, starting with the Nether Toad? Let's equip Leng Tianyue with a Divine Technique for provocation, then kill the Evil Dog, what do you think?"

"Nether Toad..." Yu Changsheng felt a slight stir.

With the Nether Toad's Divine Position, Leng Tianyue could wield Divine Grade Techniques.

The Moon Spirit's ultimate move, Moon Laurel Cold Silver Flower, is a formidable control skill, drastically solidifying the Divine Power inside the living being, turning the target into a silver sculpture inside and out.

Supplementing with Ghostly Eyes and Tethering Silk's dual control...

Evil Dog,

It seems it's not unkillable?
