Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 992: King of Kings


Sky Phoenix, Paper Simurgh, Melted Bear...

Lu Ran summoned one stone sculpture after another from the Sculpture Garden, leading them to devour divine souls, and then threw them into the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd.

"Sect Leader!"

"Mr. Cong Long?" Lu Ran turned his head to see Yu Changsheng flying over.

The Cong Long Stone Sculpture had just devoured the divine soul of Dragon Carp (Mo Li), and its body was still buzzing and trembling. It was the moment to focus on seizing the divine position and reaching the summit.

The other party had specially come over, it must be something very important.

"Sect Leader! The Jade-faced Snake and Martial Artist lead a strong and elite force to attack, perhaps there are still god demons guarding on Jin Yu God Mountain and Pear Garden God Mountain. We can seize this opportunity to wipe out this force completely!"

Yu Changsheng's tone was serious, and since he was a stone sculpture, his voice was naturally loud.

Many soldiers turned their gaze, but unfortunately, Lu Ran was enveloped in thick Holy Spirit Energy, invisible to them.

"Hmm..." Lu Ran nodded slightly, there should indeed be guards.

Just the subordinates of the Jade-faced Snake included many god demons from Fengxiang God Mountain.

Third-class God Demon Poison Flower Bee, Seventh-class God Demon Profound Black Ape, including the Caster and Ghost Moon Fox that Lu Ran had always thought about, none of them appeared on this battlefield.

Presumably, they were left to guard Jin Yu God Mountain.

As for the Pear Garden God Mountain led by Martial Artist, there should also be some god demons left there.

While pondering, Lu Ran couldn't help but look westward with concern.

At this moment, the battle on Yan Paper God Mountain is nearing its end.

Melted Bear and Sky Phoenix had both been beheaded, only the Jade-faced Snake was still struggling in a death struggle, entangled with Bai Rao.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and connected spiritually with his soldiers: [Nightmare Guardian leads the second team to guard here, to support General Bai, everyone else follow me...]

As Lu Ran finished giving the order, Yu Changsheng spoke again: "Sect Leader!"

"What's wrong? Do you think there's something inappropriate in the arrangement?" Lu Ran looked at his military advisor, seeing the worry on his face.

Yu Changsheng saluted and said, "Sect Leader, you should stay within the Holy Spirit Energy and recuperate well. Lady Yan Zhi told me that if you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it."

Lu Ran: "..."

Since Yu Changsheng was speaking out loud, others could hear him too.

Qiao Wanjun immediately flew over and said, "I'll take the old troops of the Cloud Sea, and you assign the Evil Shadow Guardian to me, let her lead another team."

Yu Changsheng hurriedly agreed: "The god demons guarding the two god mountains have weak overall strength, and their leaders have all been defeated. We can directly absorb them into our forces.

Moreover, you really should take this rare opportunity to refine your body."

Well then~

Lu Ran smirked.

I just let you devour divine souls, and you haven't even become a god yet, and you're already disdaining that I'm only at the Second Level in the Heavenly Realm?

Of course, that was a joke, Lu Ran also knew well his physical condition.

He had just recovered, and now after being tormented by the Martial Artist and Fire Goddess, he was really almost a puddle of mush.

"Alright! Evil Shadow, you take..." Lu Ran's gaze swept over the soldiers, feeling a bit sour inside.

Deng Yuxiang and Tu Feng were both seriously injured, their bodies covered in fractures and wounds, being healed by Little Yuanxi.

Hua Qingying was even more miserable, her body shattered and tattered, previously even reaching the brink of death.

Fortunately, the maidservant of the Yan Paperman, Red Candle, used the light of the candle flame to continuously heal General Hua, keeping her barely alive, and finally saved her from the Ghost Gate.

Otherwise, Hua Qingying's end would have been the same as Wuya's.

As for the other soldiers, they were all injured to varying degrees.

Yan Shuangzi, Huangfu Zhao, the Leng Siblings...

Seeing Lu Ran suddenly lost for words, Yu Changsheng aptly suggested: "We can send our soldiers to temporarily replace Lady Nu Ying to guard the front line, having her personally recruit them should be twice the result with half the effort."

"Hmm." Lu Ran nodded.

He kept the three Rebirth Money containing the souls of Wuya, Blood Skull, and Fire Goddess to himself, distributing the remaining Copper Coins to his mother and Yan Shuangzi.

Under the deployment of the military advisor, the two teams were teleported away.

Lu Ran immersed himself in the Holy Spirit Energy, nourishing his body, while constantly monitoring the distant battle.

"Ding ding~ ring~"

The light ringing of the phoenix crown.

Lu Ran turned and looked up, seeing a giant stone hand coming down to encompass him.

He instinctively tensed his body but immediately relaxed, letting the Yan Paperman gently hold him.

The Yan Paperman, as if savoring, closed her eyes and absorbed a large amount of Origin Energy, softly asking: "Has Sword One joined our force?"

Although it was a question, she seemed quite certain.

In contrast, Lu Ran didn't dare to boast, and replied: "Barely. Lord Jian Yi prefers peace and quiet. Leaving her inactive shouldn't be a problem.

But asking her to come out and fight, that's probably impossible."

The Yan Paperman said softly: "Just let your mother and Sword One share a divine position."

Lu Ran nodded silently.

That might be a solution.

Now that the forces of Martial Artist have been eliminated, they would no longer fix their attention on Sword One's movements, ready to strike at the crucial moment.

Lu Ran also had enough capability to provide a stable environment for his mother and Sword One.

"The forces of Martial Artist and Jade-faced Snake have been destroyed, now only the Evil Spear Emperor in the northwest remains, stubbornly resisting."

"Heh." Lu Ran's smile was somewhat bitter.

The just concluded battle was fought so fiercely.

The northwest forces were even stronger!

Qiang Xiu, Evil Spear Emperor, West Desolation, Barbaric Female Diablos, Huang Que, Nine Nether Bird, Qian Gu, Dry Sea and so on...

The key is there's also Lie Tian!

And Spiritual Fortune!

"Why worry, Lu Lang? After this battle, our forces will definitely grow significantly, and your soldiers will become the new Martial Artists, Jade-faced Snakes, Ashes."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on the Yan Paperman's beautifully flawless face.

The disparaging remarks of "lowly" by the Martial Artist and God Demons still echo in my ears, but now these lowly human ants have slaughtered all the gods!

How could the person I have taken a liking to be considered lowly?

He rises with one newly erected stone sculpture after another, becoming the leader of the All Gods of the Ran Sect.

He will surely stand atop the Three Realms someday in the future!

"It's impossible to hide the news of the Martial Artist faction's downfall. The northwest will definitely react upon receiving the information," Lu Ran sighed. "There are First-class God Demons in other war zones too."

The arrival of the Fire God Hag has undoubtedly changed the rules.

The best choice for the Ran Sect is to launch an attack now!

However, the soldiers of the Ran Sect are severely injured, recruiting Weak Gods and taking over the Divine Mountain is feasible, but kicking off such a top-level group battle is purely courting death.

Not only is the Ran Sect unable to send troops, but they must also be on guard against the northwest forces exploiting weaknesses and overwhelming them with their army.

"Lu Lang, you're overthinking."

"Oh?"

"In Da Xia's culture, there's a concept: know oneself and know one's enemy, and one will never be defeated," the Rou Paperman spoke softly. "Do you truly understand your opponent?"

Lu Ran remained silent, awaiting further words.

"Do you know why the Evil Spear Emperor can command respect and gather the support of many gods and demons?"

"The Evil Spear Emperor?" Lu Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He suddenly remembered that when he burned the Jade Talisman's Divine Soul earlier, the Jade Talisman had set conditions demanding Lu Ran send the Divine Soul to Lord Evil Spear Emperor first.

Lu Ran once asked the Jade Talisman: Aren't you afraid of being consumed by the Evil Spear Emperor?

It seemed that the Jade Talisman was not worried.

The Rou Paperman sighed lightly: "The Evil Spear Emperor is not only powerful but also a true king in the real sense."

"A king?"

"Yes, the Evil Spear Emperor possesses many essential qualities of leadership, just like you, and like you, he also has his flaws."

"Such as?"

The Rou Paperman held Lu Ran in the palm of her hand, murmuring softly: "You are a very pure being, your heart is soft and easily exploited."

Lu Ran rolled his eyes, annoyedly saying: "I was asking about the Evil Spear Emperor."

"Hehe~" The Rou Paperman smiled tenderly, "He is a proud king."

Lu Ran grinned: "Among all these gods and demons, who isn't proud? Wasn't the Martial Artist proud?"

The Rou Paperman maintained her smile, but it became slightly sarcastic: "Despising those above and belittling those below, how is that pride? You don't know the Martial Artist's past, haven't seen his ugly side.

But, you saw him invite the Fire God Hag, you should be able to imagine the humiliating conditions he accepted and what he paid.

Also, can you imagine his low and ugly demeanor?"

"I see," Lu Ran pondered thoughtfully.

"The Evil Spear Emperor is different, he would never humiliate himself to request reinforcements," the Rou Paperman sighed softly. "With his pride, he might not even tolerate gods and demons outside Da Xia interfering in his realm."

"Oh?" Lu Ran was somewhat surprised.

He had long since been disillusioned with divine beings and had seen the ugliness among the gods.

Unexpectedly, he discovered someone truly worthy who isn't a divine being, but an Evil God?

"And Qiang Xiu?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

The Rou Paperman shook her head: "That old thing is very lonely, not interested in becoming a king, and likes external things. So Qiang Xiu and the Evil Spear Emperor can work together.

However, the supreme leader of the northwest forces must be the Evil Spear Emperor, Lu Lang doesn't have to worry about the northwest forces being intervened by outsiders."

"Hmm, thank you," Lu Ran said sincerely.

The Rou Paperman slowly closed her palm, as if wanting to embed the tiny humans forever in the palm's lines: "Why thank me?"

"I... I got it, open your hand, I'm observing the battle," Lu Ran quickly said.

The Rou Paperman continued to close her palm, only after three or four seconds did she slowly open it.

Lu Ran gazed up at the tirelessly soaring White-Scaled Python in the distant sky, gradually falling into contemplation.

Today is the ninth of the twelfth lunar month, soon it will be the fifteenth.

The soldiers of the Ran Sect need rest, Wu Xiao, Luo Ying, Yu Changsheng, Jiang Ruyi, and others need two or three days before they can transform into divine beings.

Even father Lu Xing doesn't know how long it will take to revive.

Since the Evil Spear Emperor is such a leader...

Can the Ran Sect send an envoy to try to negotiate with him?

At least let the Human World get through this fifteenth night peacefully.

Additionally, now only the Evil Spear Emperor and Lu Ran remain as forces within Da Xia.

Should our side make some tactical adjustments based on the characteristics of the Evil Spear Emperor?

[Master!]

[Speak!]Lu Ran responded promptly.

[When we arrived at the Jin Yu Divine Mountain, we didn't see any gods or demons, only minions resisting, the Divine Mountain is about to be destroyed, and we just managed to defend it.]

Lu Ran furrowed his brows slightly: [Occupy it. It's located at the center of the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, close to Sword One Divine Mountain, which makes it easier to support.]

The gods and demons guarding Jin Yu Divine Mountain have actually fled?

Indeed, with the Caster - Ghost Moon Fox present, disasters will always lag behind them.

[Huangfu Tianjiang, how is it at Pear Garden Divine Mountain?] Lu Ran asked.

[Young Master please wait, I am communicating with Faceless Jade Venerable...] Huangfu Zhao's words trailed off, leaving no sound.

Lu Ran's heart trembled suddenly!

Just as he hesitated about which old members of Yunhai to contact next, Huangfu Zhao's transmission continued: [Young Master, Faceless Jade Venerable has withdrawn, Master Qiao said not to pursue fleeing enemies, and withdrew our troops.]

[What is the situation?] Lu Ran hurriedly asked.

Huangfu Zhao's tone was grave: [We are fine, Faceless Jade Venerable had no interest in fighting, but significant casualties at Pear Garden Divine Mountain, and many mist clusters.

Faceless Jade Venerable took advantage of the Divine Mountain's vacant defense and killed many gods and demons...]
