Summit of the Old Gods-Chapter 1155 - 1072: The Beginning of Breaking the Deadlock?

Chapter 1155: Chapter 1072: The Beginning of Breaking the Deadlock?

Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi discussed briefly and named the three skills of the Faceless Stone Deity.

First Divine Technique - Body Corrosion: When the hands and feet of the Faceless Stone Deity touch the enemy, it can contaminate their body and petrify them.

Second Divine Technique - Soul Corrosion: This technique allows the Stone Deity’s minions to absorb dead souls on the spot, helping the Ran Sect plunder resources on the battlefield.

Third Divine Technique - Formless and Heartless: Spirit Defense Technique.

Overall, the Faceless Stone Deity is still a counterfeit, far inferior to the authentic one.

It can’t even compare to the mobility of the Faceless Jade Deity, and can’t even fly!

It’s really frustrating...

However, the Divine Technique - Body Corrosion is still somewhat useful; at least it can contaminate the Jade Deity.

Additionally, this technique is also effective against God Demons.

And it’s surprisingly effective, because it’s even more insidious!

After all, when you contaminate the Jade Deity, the petrified skin of the opponent is visible to the naked eye.

When you use this technique against God Demons, the stone-sculpted body seems unchanged, but its nature is completely altered!

The defensive power of the Divine and Evil Sculptures is undoubtedly high, but once contaminated and petrified, the stone skin becomes fragile and can easily be crushed into powder.

"Sigh..." Lu Ran let out a long sigh, and after fully petrifying the four-meter tall Jade Venerable Minion, he gently poked her forehead.

"Crack! Crack..."

The cracks on the Jade Venerable Minion’s forehead spread like a spider web, instantly covering the entire body, and then completely shattering.

Debris scattered all over the ground.

The scene was quite shocking, yet Lu Ran felt somewhat disappointed.

Jiang Ruyi naturally knew that Lu Ran valued the Stone Deity highly, treating this special stone sculpture as a crucial advantage!

Clearly, the abilities of the Stone Deity clan did not meet his expectations.

Jiang Ruyi, however, had a different opinion. She carefully organized her thoughts and spoke gently: "The Jade Deity’s physical strength far exceeds that of God Demons. The gap in strength between the soldiers and you is significant; it’s really difficult to destroy the true Jade Deity.

Now with the addition of the Faceless Stone Deity, we have gained a strong support."

Lu Ran silently nodded.

This was indeed true.

The excessively formidable body of the Jade Deity is an insurmountable barrier, but the Stone Deity can dissolve this barrier with special methods.

"Once the Stone Deity is cultivated, we should start making minions, as many as possible."

Jiang Ruyi spoke again, calmly analyzing: "With the cooperation of the Teleportation Skill, we can directly pour a large number of Stone Deity minions on the true Jade Deity."

"Hmm?" Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.

This tactic... unbeatable!

The Divine Technique - Other Shore Flower can target living beings for teleportation, just mark a spatial imprint on the opponent in advance.

If so, then open a Teleportation Array above the colossal Jade Deity’s head, and wouldn’t countless Stone Deity minions be able to flood the true Jade Deity like a waterfall in an instant?

The more he thought about it, the brighter Lu Ran’s eyes became!

He wrapped one arm around the woman beside him, praising her with admiration: "Truly worthy of being the Lady of Burning Gate! You’ve quickly devised a targeted battle plan based on racial characteristics.

Almost like a female version of Cong Long!"

Jiang Ruyi: ?

Who wants to be a female version of Cong Long...

Lu Ran mumbled excitedly: "With this, the Ran Sect can shift tactics. The soldiers no longer need to engage in close combat, but focus on entangling and controlling, letting the minions cause the damage."

Professional matters should be handled by professionals!

Besides, if the minions die, we won’t feel distressed. Just use energy to make more, an endless supply.

Simply perfect!

Jiang Ruyi, feeling his profound joy, also showed a faint smile.

All of Lu Ran’s efforts were worth it.

On careful thought, if used properly, the Faceless Stone Deity could indeed reverse the declining trend of the Ran Sect!

Lu Ran’s hand around her waist playfully twirled her hair, clearly in a great mood: "The Faceless Stone Deity lacks significant self-awareness.

We should have a soldier inherit it to better complete the tasks assigned to us."

Jiang Ruyi quickly gathered her thoughts, contemplating: "Using a living vessel technique, it might take anywhere from half a year to a full year?"

Lu Ran’s smile gradually faded, nodding silently.

"The Jade Venerable Clan probably won’t give us that much time." Jiang Ruyi frowned in thought, speaking softly, "We’ll have to find one from the surviving Heavenly Realm soldiers... Oh right."

Jiang Ruyi looked up at Lu Ran: "Can the Faceless Stone Deity ascend to the God Realm?"

Lu Ran shook his head: "Not sure. We’ll need time to find out."

Logically, he used a total of six Jade Venerable Divine Souls to build the Stone Sculpture; the Faceless Stone Deity should achieve divinity, right?

But the question is, does the Jade Venerable’s Divine Soul truly hold a Divine Position?

The Jade Venerable doesn’t conform to the God Demon framework, as both systems are different.

Even if it really holds a Divine Position, the Faceless Jade Venerable hasn’t truly died! It should still firmly hold its Divine Position.

Lu Ran had already mentally prepared: perhaps his Faceless Stone Deity could only ascend to the Third Level of the Heavenly Realm.

If so, the highest domain for minions made by the Faceless Stone Deity could only be the Second Level of the Heavenly Realm.

Hmm... No worries!

The minions of the First, Second, and Third Levels of the Heavenly Realm have distinct differences in physical strength, but not much difference in spell-casting abilities.

The minions use all Heavenly Techniques. As long as there are enough of them, they can decisively dismantle the Jade Venerable’s true form!

"Shadow Five, do you think it’s feasible?" Jiang Ruyi proposed.

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

Shadow Five, who was once the Peak Master of Sword Ridge Peak, Wang Hanchuan, naturally had quite impressive overall qualities to rise to that position.

Within the Ran Sect, the Heavenly Realm warriors clearly showed a gap.

From this, it can be seen that under the rule of Gods and Demons, the Holy Spirit Mountain can cultivate even more Heavenly Realm Powers!

The method of nurturing Gu is indeed cruel, but it is also truly effective.

Here’s a real example: ever since Lu Ran overthrew the rule of Gods and Demons and rectified the Mountain Realm’s ethos, no one from Holy Spirit Mountain has ascended to the Heavenly Realm, not even a Sea Realm Peak individual.

Currently, Wang Hanchuan of the Second Level of Heavenly Realm is almost the only candidate for the Ran Sect.

Luckily, this person is particularly suitable!

Deep in his soul, there is a Phoenix Soul Brand, long disciplined to be a loyal servant under the Lady of Burning Gate.

"It’s feasible!" Lu Ran decided.

A person with self-awareness, high overall qualities, and the will of the Ran Sect leader can certainly take on important responsibilities.

"Then I’ll summon him over, you go nurture the Stone Sculpture," Jiang Ruyi whispered.

"Buzz!"

Before Lu Ran could speak, the Venerable Slayer Blade at his waist hummed again.

It seemed impatient.

Lu Ran really was in a good mood, casually drawing the blade, half-joking and half-provoking: "I’ve been killing with you for half a month, day and night.

You started humming on the fifteenth, but never hummed anything meaningful?"

"Phew~" The Venerable Slayer Blade Spirit unusually flew out.

His appearance was also that of an emperor-robed youth, except without the Blood Crystal Mask, which took away an eerie quality and added a touch of majesty.

And at this moment, the Emperor was unhappy, glaring angrily at Lu Ran.

"What, can’t be mentioned?" Lu Ran looked at the Second-rank Divine Weapon, sighing at its unique character.

All his Divine Weapons, though different in temperament, recognized their master.

Even the domineering Eight Desolates Annihilation Blade was respectful to Lu Ran, yet this Venerable Slayer Blade...

Offending the Master of Divine Weapon was practically a daily occurrence.

"I, am different from your mask." The Venerable Slayer Blade Spirit said in a deep voice.

"And then?" At this moment, Lu Ran hadn’t realized the seriousness of the problem.

Only to hear the Venerable Slayer Blade Spirit coldly snort and ask coldly, "Can I separate from the master and grow independently?"

Lu Ran: ???

What the hell?

Is this a big blame on me?

Jiang Ruyi’s expression was somewhat odd, looking at the emperor-robed youth a few meters away, then at the emperor-robed youth who was holding her by his side.

The two young emperors glared at each other, obviously both quite simmering with anger.

Jiang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, and softly said, "Strength is your capital for insubordination, and now it also reflects in the efficacy of the First Divine Weapon Domain.

I think the Second Divine Weapon Domain might be a further enhancement on this foundation."

For a moment, both emperor-robed youths looked over.

Jiang Ruyi did not pay attention to the Venerable Slayer Blade Spirit; she nestled in Lu Ran’s embrace, raising her cold and charming face, gently gazing into Lu Ran’s dark eyes:

"We need to first determine the main direction, the effect of the Venerable Slayer Blade Domain is to amplify the Master’s capabilities.

Following this line of thought, maybe the next domain could amplify the casting effects of the Master?"

Lu Ran blinked his eyes: "Like the Fiery Fire Heavenly Leader?"

The fire of slaughter crossing levels?

Wouldn’t that overlap again?

If, according to this growth path, the Venerable Slayer Blade, even just assisting this seat, continues to rid the dependence on Divine and Evil Sculptures, just holding this Divine Weapon, can stand above the vast Gods and Demons?

"Why not give it a try?" Jiang Ruyi’s soul trembled slightly, softly suggesting, "It could also be a specialization in a certain attribute, power, speed, agility, self-healing ability, energy recovery...

All these are broadly defined strengths and can also be empowered on the Master of Divine Weapon."

Master and weapon moved with astonishing synchronicity, nodding, even the nodding amplitude was identical.

After all, the Sword Spirit is an extension of Lu Ran’s mental will.

"I’m just providing a thought process; the specifics depend on you guys." Jiang Ruyi gently squeezed Lu Ran’s arm, "Go comprehend it."

"Hmm..." Lu Ran pondered for a moment, twirling the blade as he said, "Let’s go."

The Venerable Slayer Blade Spirit seemed to be in deep thought as well, its figure quickly merging into the small blade.

As Lu Ran left, Jiang Ruyi felt greatly relieved, watching him display heroic charisma on the battlefield; gradually, a light smile appeared on her face.

Whether the Venerable Slayer Blade enhances or offers timely aid, it’s all secondary now.

Lu Ran, relying on absolute power, has laid a foundation for the Ran Sect’s victory with his hard labor and wise decisions!

The completion of the Faceless Stone Venerable will surely change the direction of this war’s outcome.

No matter what the Jade Venerable is preparing, when she comes next time...

It will be the time for the Ran Sect to lure the enemy deep and deliver a fierce counterattack!
