Summit of the Old Gods-Chapter 1148 - 1068: Fire at the Brow

Become stronger!

The audacity to defy the heavens...

Under the intense desire, Lu Ran gradually blocked out the external distractions and completely immersed himself with the Venerable Slayer Blade Spirit in the extreme thirst for power.

The upgrade of the Divine Weapon was inherently quick, and unknowingly, the Venerable Slayer Blade began to hum violently.

"Buzz!!"

Second-rank Divine Weapon: Venerable Slayer Blade!

During the upgrade process, Lu Ran had already realized that the thirst for power by both him and the blade had materialized in the Divine Weapon Domain.

This Divine Weapon Domain could assist the Master of Divine Weapon, greatly enhancing all body attributes!

Lu Ran felt a bit helpless.

He had many Divine and Evil Techniques that could significantly boost his physical attributes. For example, the Blood Skull Evil Technique: Burning Blood Body.

The functions overlapped.

Moreover, a second-rank Divine Weapon corresponds to the Sea Realm, which means this Divine Weapon Domain currently counts as a Sea Technique.

The Venerable Slayer Blade needs to ascend to the Fourth Rank and completely align with the God Realm to catch up with the techniques Lu Ran performs himself...

"Is this it?" Lu Ran said softly.

"Buzz!!" The Venerable Slayer Blade hummed again, seemingly dissatisfied.

"I thought you could give me something big." Lu Ran said coldly.

If it were any other Magic Artifact, he wouldn’t have this attitude; he would be too fond of any Divine Weapon.

However, the Venerable Slayer Blade was special, as the master and the weapon often quarreled.

"I will definitely slay the venerable!" The Sword Spirit declared in a deep voice.

Lu Ran didn’t say anything more because there were two more domains ahead, and he sincerely hoped the Venerable Slayer Blade could ascend again.

And then hit him in the face!

"Lu..." a soft voice came from above his head.

Lu Ran looked up and saw Yan Zhi’s clasped hands gently opening, her voice tinged with a trace of resentment and a hint of grievance:

"You finally came to see me."

With that, one man and one Evil God locked eyes.

The expression on Yan Zhi’s face changed!

At this moment, the heavenly phenomena had dissipated, and the mist that emerged from the shattered Pangda Jade Venerable was absorbed clean by All Gods.

Thus, the small entities enveloped in terrifying energy revealed their own aura.

Those cold eyes gave Yan Zhi a chill down her spine!

"Luan Feng Tong... heart crown said, said you have ascended to the God Realm." Even as strong as Evil God Yan Zhi, her voice trembled slightly meeting the young grave for the first time.

Lu Ran replied hoarsely, "My condolences."

Yan Zhi pursed her lips gently.

She knew he was speaking about the maid Red Candle, possibly also referring to her pet Mud Mountain Pig.

"Have you gathered all the Divine Souls?"

"The Divine Soul of Mud Mountain Pig was retrieved." Yan Zhi said in a low voice.

The recovery of Mud Mountain Pig’s Divine Soul was thanks to the Wind Emperor’s relentless pursuit of Pangda Jade Venerable, while the Divine Soul of Fourth-class God: Red Candle...

Seemed to have been devoured by Jade Venerable on the spot.

Utterly vanished.

Lu Ran sighed inwardly and said, "For everything you’ve done for me, I will remember."

This statement already indicated his stance.

He would try to compensate her, although... the death of a maid was probably irreparable.

Aside from the sacrifice of Red Candle, Yan Zhi herself was a crucial existence for the rise and survival of Lu Ran, and even the entire Ran Sect.

In several key battles of Ran Sect, Yan Zhi had contributed tirelessly behind the scenes.

The Ran Sect conquered Dong Ting, the Martial Monk, and Blood Skull.

Crushed the entire faction led by Martial Artist and Jade-faced Snake...

If the Ran Sect could secure victory, Lu Ran would try his best to meet her demands.

For instance, increasing her lifespan.

Even if it required time and energy, crafting her a brand new God Demon body with his own hands, allowing her to live another long life, Lu Ran would do it.

"Lu..." Yan Zhi looked at the tiny creature in her palm, a complex gaze in her eyes.

She could scarcely recognize him now.

The kind of aura that transcended God Demons, the kind of power beyond her understanding, made her Divine Soul tremble uncontrollably, and made her more captivated.

With reverence and admiration.

"Retreat to the side and guard me," Lu Ran said in a deep voice, looking at the Soul Prison in his hand.

Yan Zhi silently flew backward.

As the Jade Venerable Divine Soul separated from the Soul Prison, losing its technique medium, the battlefield inhabitants no longer saw the Jade Venerable Divine Soul.

"Looks like I should leave now," Pangda Jade Venerable said calmly.

She neither felt anger at being slain nor joy at annihilating the Ran Gate Gods, just silently watched Lu Ran.

Lu Ran slightly frowned.

Was the Jade Venerable Divine Soul reacting like this?

Just moments ago, over at Blood Dust Divine Mountain, I had searched through her memories, making her extremely furious.

Could it be...

Lu Ran flew forward and reached into her forehead with his hand.

"What are you doing?" The Jade Venerable Divine Soul looked both shocked and angry, as if never before had she experienced such a scene.

So, after the original Jade Venerable’s death, the thoughts and consciousnesses among Divine Souls no longer affected each other?

"Hu~~~"

Lu Ran fiercely pulled out countless semi-transparent threads from her head.

A river of memories appeared once again, surrounding both the tiny Human Clan and the massive Divine Souls, flowing continuously.

Lu Ran quickly searched, seeing the scene where he had just slain the previous Pangda Jade Venerable at Blood Dust Divine Mountain.

And this memory ended after the Jade Venerable’s body shattered with no continuation.

So this current Jade Venerable Divine Soul didn’t know that Lu Ran had searched and extracted the memory of the previous Jade Venerable!

"Hmm." Lu Ran silently pondered, and amidst his thoughts, he once again saw the death images of Tu Feng, Bai Yanhui, and Niu Zhengzheng, among others.

He didn’t want to see them again and quickly traced forward, reaching the deepest part of the memory scroll.

Lu Ran found what he was looking for.

It was a magnificent White Jade Corpse Mountain, still existing deeply in her memory, not erased.
