"Wow!" Nearing the peak of the snow-capped mountain, Qiao Yuansi couldn't help but exclaim.

Her flying speed gradually slowed, gently landing on the snow.

The cold moonlight spilled over the relatively flat mountaintop, and a large cold lake lay silently amidst the dense snow forest.

Qiao Yuansi took a few steps forward, gazing at the beautiful scene.

The lush snow forest greatly concealed the wind and snow.

The lake's surface showed no ripples, like a smooth mirror, with stars scattered across it.

The reflection of the sparkling starry sky in the lake was even deeper than the real night sky.

Is this the legendary Moon Shadow Heavenly Pool?

Qiao Yuansi alternated between looking at the lake's surface and the night sky, as if trying to decide which moon was more beautiful.

"Truly one of the Seven Views of the Holy Spirit."

Lu Ran approached Qiao Yuansi from behind, also marveling in admiration.

By now, he had seen all seven beautiful sights within the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm.

The misty drizzle of Mist Rain Lake.

The Galaxy Waterfall of Nine Heavens Cliff.

The light snow of Ice Heart Lake, the morning mist of Hidden Thousand Mountains.

The sands and sunset of Mo Gu Peak, the sea of flowers and sunrise of Qianhua Ridge.

Lastly, the stars and moon of this Moon Shadow Heavenly Pool.

Qiao Yuansi hugged Lu Ran's arm, whispering, "It seems like it's the Demon Cave Gate?"

"Hmm," Lu Ran agreed.

However, just as the siblings were immersed in the scenery, a sudden frog croak sounded.

"Ribbit~Ribbit~"

"Eh?" Qiao Yuansi looked toward the sound, and even without night vision, she spotted the little creature in the snow forest under the bright moon.

Lu Ran saw it even more clearly.

A toad?!

It was several times larger than a palm.

Its entire body was a unique silvery white, seemingly emitting beautiful moonlight.

Its skin color was indeed beautiful, yet it appeared rough and rugged, with its skin covered in tiny silver granules.

Third-class Evil Demon·Nether Toad!

"Ribbit~" The Nether Toad leapt several dozen meters, jumping from the forest to the lake's edge.

"Yikes~" Qiao Yuansi got goosebumps all over, this dignified Sea Realm Peak Great Power hid behind Lu Ran.

"Ribbit!" Again came the frog's croak.

Perhaps it was the human girl's look of disdain that utterly enraged it.

The Nether Toad opened its mouth wide, spitting out a bright white moonbeam.

Evil Technique: Toad Spitting Moon!

Lu Ran wore a peculiar expression as he reached out, catching the moonbeam.

Evil Technique: Toad Devouring Moon!

Yes, the Evil Sculpture·Nether Toad in Lu Ran's domain had long been activated, and now both the Nether Toad and Moon Spirit Stone Sculptures had transformed into the likeness of Cloud Sea Old Guard·Leng Tianyue.

"Whew~" The somber beam fell onto Lu Ran's hand without causing any harm but was instead absorbed completely.

Toad Devouring Moon, capable of absorbing all techniques related to the Moon Element!

However, within the Da Xia God Demon system, the number of God Demons related to the Moon Element was extremely low, making this technique hard to use.

"Ribbit?" The Nether Toad looked stunned at the moonlight glowing in the human's palm.

Compared to humans, the Nether Toad was naturally a creature of very low intelligence.

But compared to frogs and toads, the Evil Demon·Nether Toad was a great genius!

You could tell a bit just from its puzzled look.

"Hehe~" Qiao Yuansi couldn't help but laugh, looking up at Lu Ran's profile and asked on behalf of the Nether Toad, "Are you a toad too?"

"Ha." Lu Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Such enthusiasm?

Honestly, if not for consideration of his parents, Lu Ran would have retorted: Yes, yes, my whole family are toads!

"Ribbit!" The Nether Toad suddenly jumped high, glowing with bright moonlight.

Its rough skin erupted with silver granules, sending countless silver-white sparks flying.

Evil Technique: Silver Toad Shaking Light!

These silver sparks, once adhering to an enemy, could continuously corrode their defensive armor and flesh.

"Whew~" Lu Ran exhaled a breath of Immortal Qi.

The Heavenly Grade Immortal Breath from the Jade-faced Snake clan dissolved the flying sparks and surged towards the Silver Toad in the air.

"Ribbit!!"

The Nether Toad let out a great frog croak, clearly sensing a fatal crisis.

A massive, illusory toad shadow suddenly expanded within its body!

As toads, the clan had two devouring-type skills, one focused solely on the Moon Element: Evil Technique: Toad Devouring Moon.

The other was this clan's big move: Toad Swallowing Three Thousand Realms!

Capable of devouring everything!

However, one cannot talk about the effectiveness of an Evil Technique without considering its grade.

The Heavenly Grade Immortal Breath expelled by Lu Ran, dissolved everything in its path!

The pitiful Jiang Realm Demon Lord couldn't stand against someone casually exhaling a breath, even after using his big move.

"Ribbit!!!"

The croak was earth-shaking, and as the Nether Toad died, it sent out a ring of moonlight ripples.

The silver-white moon pattern, like ripples on the lake's surface, was extraordinarily beautiful.

Qiao Yuansi slightly tilted her head, resting it on Lu Ran's shoulder, gazing at the alternative fireworks in the night sky.

A bit beautiful~

"Enjoy watching?" Lu Ran said with a smile, "Shall I find a few more Nether Toads to throw up there for you?"

Qiao Yuansi looked puzzled: "Aren't you able to perform the Nether Toad's Evil Technique?"

"It's boring if I do it myself, but if the Nether Toads do it, we can even listen to the sound~" Lu Ran replied casually, searching around for Nether Toads.

Qiao Yuansi suddenly blurted out: "You can also ribbit when you use the technique yourself~"

Lu Ran: "..."

This seat has had enough of baaing in this lifetime.

Forget about ribbiting.

"Oh, brother, stop looking! There aren't any Nether Toads here, just make one yourself!" Qiao Yuansi teased lightly, shaking Lu Ran's arm, "Put it above the Heavenly Pool, it will look great!"

"Alright, alright." Lu Ran agreed reluctantly, his head spinning from the shaking.

Qiao Yuansi quickly clasped her hands together, looking at Lu Ran with eager anticipation.

Lu Ran snorted softly, then shimmered above the Heavenly Pool, his fingertips glowing with a pale white moonlight.

"Pop~"

Lu Ran pointed skyward with one hand, making a void gesture.

In an instant, beautiful rings of pale white moon glyphs expanded from his fingertips.

Evil Technique: Silver Moon Pattern!

Anything affected by the moon glyphs would suffer significant shock damage.

This technique has good offensive effects, particularly effective against defensive armors, but its disadvantage is also obvious, the moonlit waves spread very slowly.

Compared to the slowly spreading area attack, it was Lu Ran's initial void gesture that was more deadly.

"Oh..." Qiao Yuansi watched the calm lake with dreamy eyes.

The lake reflected the brilliant starry sky, like a painting.

The pale white moon glyphs acted as a special ink, slowly spreading across the canvas.

Like a dream, like a fantasy.

"Buzz~" The Eight Desolates Annihilation Blade quivered slightly.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran immediately reached down, drawing his blade, "What is it?"

But the Eight Desolate Blade made no sound again.

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, then pointed skyward again, his fingertip lightly tapping.

"Pop~"

The pale white ripples undulated softly, eliciting another tremor from the Eight Desolate Blade.

"Eight Desolates?"

[Master, please wait!], a very solemn voice echoed in his mind.

Lu Ran dared not speak again, carefully holding the blade, repeatedly using the Evil Technique: Silver Moon Pattern, providing inspiration to the Eight Desolate Blade.

The night was exceptionally quiet.

Gradually, Lu Ran noticed something amiss.

Something's not right!

This place was very near the main base of the Nether Toads, and they liked lakes, Lu Yuan and his disciple had mentioned that the Moon Shadow Heavenly Pool always had Nether Toads.

But from beginning to end, Lu Ran had only seen one Nether Toad.

And at this time, although his constant use of the Evil Technique wasn't very conspicuous, the range of the moon glyphs spreading was considerable!

Where were the nearby Nether Toads?

These low-intelligence creatures, upon noticing the situation, should have come to investigate, where had they all gone?

The more he thought about it, the more Lu Ran felt something was wrong.

[Under your feet, Master!]

[Ranran, there's the aura of a magic artifact at the bottom of the lake.]

[Below! There's something in the lake, Master!], several voices echoed in Lu Ran's mind simultaneously.

"Oh?" Lu Ran immediately looked down.

The clear lake reflected the brilliant starry sky.

Lu Ran adjusted his focus, peering past the stars and moon reflections, looking deep into the lake's bottom.

[The other side has disappeared, they must have detected our presence as well.]

[Master, I can no longer sense that guy.], messages kept coming through.

Lu Ran frowned slightly.

Which means the opponent must be at least a hundred meters deep since the perception radius of a divine weapon is one hundred meters.

"Guard over Little Yuanxi and report any situation immediately." Lu Ran deployed the Dawn Blade and Cloud Sea Sword, allowing the Eight Desolate Blade to hover above the lake, while he himself plunged toward the lake.

"Brother?"

"Wait for me." A luxurious silver-white fish tail emerged beneath Lu Ran, his entire being merging into the cold lake like a droplet of water.

His figure vanished without a trace.

As he descended further, the Silent Night Blade quivered softly: [Bottom left.]

Guided by the Silent Night Blade, Lu Ran dove several dozen meters and reached an entrance to a tunnel.

After observing carefully for a moment, he swayed his long fishtail, stealthily swimming forward.

After traversing the long tunnel, Lu Ran came to a gradual stop.

There was an unexpectedly spacious underwater chamber here?

Amid the pitch-black environment, at the edge of a slanted stone wall, sat a young woman.

She wore a white dress, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders.

Her aloof and enchanting face featured a pair of signature willow-leaf eyes.

Lu Ran was astonished!

Completely astonished...

"The aura of a divine weapon?" The young woman frowned slightly, picking up the divine weapon that had just returned from scouting, "And quite a lot of them?"

"Buzz~" The Divine Sword quivered slightly.

"If you've detected them, the other side must have sensed you too, right?" the woman in the white dress murmured.

The Divine Sword no longer quivered, leaving whatever it had communicated with its master unknown.

The woman sighed lightly, seemingly anticipating yet another slaughter.

She stood up slowly, gripped the sword hilt: "Has the intruder arrived?"

"Already here." The sudden young voice echoed throughout the pitch-black underwater chamber.

The woman's expression changed!

At the moment she formed a seal with her hand, an overwhelming pressure pinned her completely in place.

In the darkness, it was as if a god appeared!

Under the God Demon system, intangible but real laws commanded her to kneel and surrender, again and again.

"Pop~"

A small Dragon Carp appeared unexpectedly, swishing its tail, summoning a drizzle of pale golden rain.

The faint golden light revealed the young man's heroic face.

The woman, already frozen in place, widened her eyes even more.

In her sight, the young man had a gentle smile on his face:

"Long time no see, Guan Yiren."
