Summit of the Old Gods-Chapter 1149 - 1068: Fire at the Brow (Part 2)

And this special scene, in the memory of the previous Divine Soul, had already been completely extracted by Lu Ran and made into a Floating Life Coin.

"Indeed." Lu Ran murmured to himself.

After the Great Jade Venerable’s death, the Divine Souls would not affect each other and existed independently.

If Lu Ran wanted to completely erase the Jade Venerable’s memory, he had to do it while she was alive, when their consciousness was connected!

"Phew~" Lu Ran’s palm gradually tightened, compressing this "Jade Corpse Mountain" into a solid form and turning it into an illusory Floating Life Coin, which he then stored in the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd for safekeeping.

The Floating Life Coin existed in the same state as the Divine Skill--Rebirth Coin.

In the Rebirth Hall at Duskbamboo Crossing, strings of translucent Rebirth Money were stacked upon the thousands of dangling red threads, indicating their long-term presence.

Similarly, as long as Lu Ran didn’t use this Floating Life Coin against enemies or intentionally detonate it, it could also exist long-term.

Lu Ran simply needed to maintain it regularly.

"Phew~" The vast Jade Venerable Divine Soul quickly retracted, merging into his Pupil of the Dead World.

Three in total.

Considering the one he slew on the Heroine Divine Mountain months ago, Lu Ran had already acquired three Jade Venerable Divine Souls!

According to predictions, he needed about 6 to 7 Jade Venerable Divine Souls to fully activate the Faceless Stone Venerable.

Three or four more were needed.

His parents each should have a Jade Venerable Divine Soul.

Thus calculated, he was just one or two souls short!

Lu Ran steadied his mind and his figure flashed.

"Sect Master!"

"Sect Master!" Yu Changsheng and He Yingcai both greeted him.

Currently, the situation at the Conlong Divine Mountain was rapidly improving, with the original Jade Venerable worries out of the way, allowing the All Gods to vastly unleash their combat power.

"Hold steady." Lu Ran nodded in acknowledgment, giving Yu Changsheng some recognition and encouragement.

In his mind, he was contacting the Lady of Burning Gate: [Ruyi, where else is there an original Jade Venerable?]

[Phoenix Yan Divine Mountain! But just over ten minutes ago, the other side withdrew from the battlefield and returned inside the White Jade City Wall. It’s unclear where they are now.]

[Huh?] Lu Ran frowned slightly.

Just now, that Jade Venerable Divine Soul also mentioned something about "time to leave."

A dozen minutes ago...

Just as he was using the Venerable Slayer Blade to sense the Divine Weapon Domain?

No!

He couldn’t let her escape just like that!

Having brought such destruction to the Ran Sect, did she think she could just leave as she pleased?

Lu Ran immediately waved his hand, and a Landing Mirror materialized.

He traversed the Heavenly Realm, stepping from the Southeast to the Northwest, reaching the Phoenix Yan Divine Mountain directly.

This step also took him from the misty drizzle into the endless yellow sand.

The Jade Venerable Minions were still charging forward, but in Lu Ran’s eyes, this fierce battle scene seemed like they were covering the retreat of the great Jade Venerable.

"Roar!!"

The bear’s roar was earth-shattering.

On this battlefield, amidst the dust raised by the Phoenix and Swallow Generals, there was also the fire released by the Mad Immortal Guardian, Heavenly General Xiang Zhuo, and others.

At this moment, Xiang Zhuo had already transformed into an Ancient Fierce Beast, towering and earth-shaking!

That gaping bear mouth spewed terrifying flames, violently destroying the White Jade City Wall.

"Sect Master!" Xue Fengchen stood at the peak of the Divine Mountain, his voice forceful.

He spoke a greeting while raising both hands high, summoning the grand West Desolation Divine Axe.

"Hold!" Lu Ran responded immediately, giving orders, "Mad Immortal, Flame Chrysanthemum, aim the fire at Xiang Zhuo!"

[Heavenly General Xiang, kneel down and fill up on the flames for me!]

Worried Xiang Zhuo might not hear, he specifically changed to voice transmission and projected the Sea-piercing Flame high into the sky.

"Boom!"

The Ancient Fierce Beast knelt on one knee, bear paws gripping the ground, opening its cavernous bear mouth as if to bite the Divine Mountain to pieces.

But at the last moment, Xiang Zhuo halted, inhaling the surrounding flames with great intensity.

Melt Bear Divine Skill--Swallowing Fire and Spitting!

This was an extremely unique technique, a rare charging skill within the Divine Demon System, requiring the caster to absorb flames of high concentration before deployment.

Because of that, its power was exceedingly terrifying!

The compressed fire pillar launched out with extreme force, reaching very far.

[Face west and blast!] Lu Ran issued another command.

"Ugh!" The Ancient Fierce Beast turned its massive head, with scorching flames spilling from its mouth, its fierce bear eyes fixed on the White Jade City Wall, mouth opened wide.

"Boom!!"

Where the fire pillar passed, the White Jade Tide along the way instantly vanished.

That seemingly insurmountable White Jade City Wall, stretching across the western horizon, was blasted open in an instant.

[Sweep, sweep it clean.] The Sect Master’s order fell once more.

Xiang Zhuo swayed his bear head from side to side, incinerating as many enemies as possible within his range.

But after just three or four seconds, he ran out of flames.

He needed to refill with fire.

"Swoosh~"

Lu Ran flashed to the bear’s nose, employing Extreme Eye Power, scanned the city wall’s interior.

How many are there in the Jade Venerable Clan?

The range of this fire pillar is so far, yet it couldn’t pierce the city wall?

"Young master, we... young master?" Si Xianxian’s expression changed, as the figure on the bear’s nose disappeared.

Back when Lu Ran was surveying the inside of the city wall, she already felt something was amiss.

Now, Lu Ran vanished before the shattered city wall with his face forward, she naturally believed he had charged straight in!

Indeed!

Lu Ran had charged into the inner wall, unleashing a world-shattering technique.

"Zzz~zzz~"

Lu Ran was covered in electricity, a majestic Thunderbird shell enveloping him.

Purple Thunder Demon Peng Clan’s ultimate move: Demon Peng Wan Jun!

"Screee~~~"

The Thunderbird flapped its wings forward with astonishing speed, its cries sharp and piercing.

The unique bird call naturally extended out from the far depth of the white jade city wall, sweeping over the Phoenix Yan Divine Mountain, leaving the Ran Gate Gods trembling with fear!

What is the Sect Master planning to do?

Advancing alone like this... what?

[Young master!]

[Sect Master, you... be careful!] However, the All Gods’ prayers did not yield a response from the Lord of Gods and Demons.

Lu Ran’s expression was grim, charging through the white jade kingdom with no restraint.

Faceless Jade Venerable!

The territory of the Ran Sect isn’t a place where you can come and go as you please!

"Crack! Crack..."

Every flap of the Thunderbird shell’s wide lightning wings shattered innumerable Jade Venerable minions.

Lu Ran surged forward, the massive bird head continuously crushing the thick wall ahead.

Suddenly, Lu Ran’s vision blurred.

Through the purple Thunderbird shell, he saw an interminable dim sky.

Did he break through?

Lu Ran instantly retracted his Evil Technique, flashing forward dozens of kilometers.

Upon reappearing, he saw many Jade Venerable minions again, but they were not heading to the battlefield; instead, they were advancing west.

Are they returning to the borderlands?

Lu Ran had already concealed himself and quickly deduced why these Jade Venerable minions were retreating.

Apparently, they had absorbed many of their companions’ Dead Souls, accumulating a considerable amount of Origin Energy, hence deciding to go back.

Lu Ran didn’t have time to bother with them, his keen eyes frantically searching for the target.

His silhouette flickered continuously.

Suddenly, his rapidly teleporting figure halted, seeing ahead on the left, a gigantic jade body appearing prominently.

She was still flying forward quickly!

And without the iconic robe!

Her long hair fluttered, and all over her body were visible cracks, clearly from previous battles, where her jade robe was destroyed, and her body suffered quite some damage.

But these wounds... compared to the fallen Gods and Demons of Phoenix Yan Divine Mountain, are nothing, aren’t they?

"Swish~"

Lu Ran’s figure flashed once more, appearing directly several kilometers ahead of her.

In his sights, her shattered jade face grew larger, the fractures clearly visible.

A gentle, almost inaudible "snap" sound resonated.

The Jade Venerable abruptly halted, sharply sensing something small touched her brow.

"Lu Ran?" she asked softly.

"Mm." Lu Ran’s small palm pressed firmly against her brow.

"Hehe." The gigantic Jade Venerable suddenly laughed.

She neither attacked nor evaded, allowing him to place his hand on her brow: 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"You came quickly."

"Why the retreat? Had enough killing?" Lu Ran coldly questioned.

"You’re far stronger than I imagined, yet I too, have achieved my goal." The gigantic Jade Venerable stood with hands behind her back, meeting death with equanimity, "Next time, Lu Ran.

Next time we meet, this realm will have only you and me.

Or perhaps... only me."

"Whoa!!"

Lu Ran’s small hand pressed against her brow shot out an astonishingly powerful fire pillar, instantly engulfing her entire head.

Next time we meet?

Do you not realize that I will have a chance to breathe, with Jiang’s Divine Skill--Floating Life Coin advancing to Heavenly Grade, possibly even Divine Grade?

Do you not know that the Faceless Stone Venerable in my domain is about to be completed?

No matter what adjustments you’re planning to make, whatever you’re preparing for...

Next time we meet,

there will be no room for you anymore in this world!
