Chapter 388: After the Divine Ruins

Chapter 388: After the Divine Ruins

Within the depths of the ancient forest, two trails of mystic mist outlined the paths of two Divine Sheep followers.

Lu Ran turned his head towards the graceful, fleeting shadow and praised, "You're adapting well, huh?"

Deng Yuxiang replied, "I have a layer of wind beneath my feet."

Lu Ran understood.

So she had used Night Phantom Demonry—Night Dance Enchanting City.

No wonder she was like a fish in water, moving so freely in the complex mountain environment.

Lu Ran suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, "How does it feel to use the demonry of your former arch-nemesis?"

Deng Yuxiang's lips curved upwards, her smile carefree, "It feels like it was made for me."

Lu Ran's mischievous smile vanished, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Was the Great Nightmare really back?

Previously, when Lu Ran rescued Deng Yuxiang and even when he brought her back to Falling Immortal Mountain, she had acted as if nothing was wrong.

But after Lu Ran bound her with the Night Phantom Sculpture, her state, reactions, and even her kneeling before him... Lu Ran still felt that something was amiss.

Over half a month had passed, and she had finally come out of it?

With those words, "made for me," the air of self-assurance and pride that leaked from every word made Lu Ran's heart bloom with joy!

"I'll go first." Deng Yuxiang gazed at the grand palace gate.

"I'll go!" Lu Ran drew out the Radiant Blade and Silent Night Blade.

"Whoever's faster goes first." Deng Yuxiang took the lead.

Although both their Divine Sheep Sect's Divine Sheep Hoof was at the River Rank, Deng Yuxiang's casting intensity far surpassed Lu Ran's!

She was at the Third Stage of the River Realm, while Lu Ran was at the Second Stage.

In terms of speed alone, Lu Ran wasn't a match for the Great Nightmare.

"You're forcing me to teleport, huh?" Lu Ran retorted.

This feeling of not having to keep secrets was simply too refreshing!

Deng Yuxiang furrowed her brows slightly, her mental voice turning cold, "Don't be reckless!"

Lu Ran immediately became displeased, "How dare you speak to the Demonic Lord like that?"

Deng Yuxiang glanced at Lu Ran, "How dare you speak to your sister like that?"

Lu Ran: ???

Hey, come on!

"Tsk—"

Deng Yuxiang unleashed her full power, the mystic mist beneath her feet churning as she intentionally darted out from in front of Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was stunned!

He had always been the one making others eat dust!

Before this "battle sheep," Deng Yuxiang, joined the sect, where had Lu Ran ever received such treatment?

Lu Ran also unleashed his full power, charging straight towards the palace gate.

"Boom!"

Deng Yuxiang held the Night Severing Blade, slashing forward with great force.

As the gate trembled, a massive force transmitted from the broken blade, surging into Deng Yuxiang's body.

Like a cannonball, she was propelled forward and then bounced back.

"Roar!"

Lu Ran wielded a pair of divine armaments, tracing an "X" shape in front of him.

The gate trembled again, and a powerful force attacked!

Lu Ran's expression changed abruptly!

Lu Ran was blasted away with a "whoosh," his internal energy surging.

"Crack!"

Lu Ran collided with a tree, only stopping when his back hit a second tree.

He slid to the ground, desperately suppressing the chaotic energy within him, feeling a sweetness in his throat.

"Lu Ran?" Deng Yuxiang's face was filled with astonishment, and she hurried to Lu Ran's side.

Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

What?

She, too, had been invaded by energy, shaken to the point of surging energy, but it wasn't to the extent of vomiting blood, was it?

"I'm fine," Lu Ran said, his expression grave.

On the grand palace gate in the distance, two slashes from the blades remained.

Deng Yuxiang knelt beside Lu Ran, examining his injuries and calmly analyzing, "The higher the level of attack, the greater the damage reflected back?"

"Very likely," Lu Ran said, gripping the divine armaments tightly.

Unfortunately, breaking through the Divine Ruins gateway required close combat.

Lu Ran couldn't attack from a distance, nor could he command the divine armaments to fly and stab.

In other words, the one being tested was using their own body to shatter the Divine Ruins gateway.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran suddenly sensed something, carefully feeling the energy within him, "Sister, did you notice something?"

"What?"

Lu Ran closed his eyes, carefully sensing, "When we attacked the shrine's gate, the feedback energy did indeed harm us.

But this energy also seemed to be helping us improve?"

"Oh?" Deng Yuxiang was a bit puzzled.

Lu Ran confirmed again, his expression growing more delighted, "It's like this!"

He looked at the woman beside him, "The energy invading our bodies is indeed harming us, and we should suppress it as quickly as possible.

But in that instant when this violent energy is injected into our bodies, it's helping us expand our meridians!"

Deng Yuxiang nodded thoughtfully.

Compared to Lu Ran, her previous attack clearly lacked sufficient output.

This resulted in the countermeasure from the shrine's gate falling short of the expected standard.

Therefore, Deng Yuxiang likely only received pure damage, and there was no way to expand her meridians!

"Sis, let's take turns!" Lu Ran immediately devised an attack plan, "We'll both use Radiant Tranquil Night, I'll attack first, then you!"

After all, this Divine Ruin was made for the two of them, belonging solely to them.

Unlike the Beifeng Divine Ruins, where the outcome was uncertain, and disciples had to scramble for the rewards.

Deng Yuxiang: "."

Those who are favored can be so willful!

Lu Ran stood up: "Let's go."

Deng Yuxiang quickly adjusted her thinking, adapting to her favored role, and said:

"Then I'll clear the forest, leaving a path for us to fly back, and it'll be easier for the other person to help reduce the impact."

Lu Ran nodded immediately: "Good!"

Moments later, the two Jiang Jing powerhouses were fully prepared, with Lu Ran standing about a hundred meters away from the Divine Ruins, ready to strike.

Unfortunately, the Soul Shattering Demonry's Soul Shattering Power and the Savage Na-Na Demonry's Savage Power couldn't be superimposed.

Otherwise, Lu Ran's output could have reached an even higher level!

Even the Ghost General Demonry's Ghost General Soul was not entirely satisfactory.

Lu Ran summoned the General Soul Residual Shadow, which indeed caused his attributes to surge in all aspects, but in terms of strength, it couldn't be superimposed either.

So frustrating~

"Chiii—"

Lu Ran gazed at the shrine's gate, and his Celestial Hoof stirred again.

Deng Yuxiang stood in the middle, her body tense.

A deafening roar echoed, causing the Divine Ruins to tremble, and Lu Ran flew backward.

"Pfft—"

This time, Lu Ran didn't just have blood dripping from the corner of his mouth; he transformed into a spray bottle, spraying out a mist of blood.

The violent energy expanded Lu Ran's "physical vessel" in a nearly destructive manner.

Damn, it really hurts.

Deng Yuxiang suddenly appeared!

She blocked Lu Ran's flight, sliding backward, and tried to reduce the impact.

The two of them slid back a long distance before gradually coming to a stop.

Lu Ran trembled as he released his hands, and the Radiant Blade and Silent Night Blade automatically flew into Deng Yuxiang's palms.

Deng Yuxiang: "Are the Divine Armaments okay?"

Lu Ran struggled to calm the chaotic energy within him, and said with difficulty: "No, no problem, the energy has passed through...cough cough...the blades and been transmitted to us."

Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

She whispered: "Lu Ran, hide in the bushes, use the Cage of Fire to heal yourself first, I'll wait for you."

Suddenly, a chilling voice echoed in both of their minds:

"You two—"

Lu Ran was startled and quickly urged Deng Yuxiang: "Quick, go attack the Divine Ruins!"

Deng Yuxiang's heart tightened as well.

She took a step forward with her long legs, holding the two Divine Armaments, and dashed out!

"Hmph." Another cold hum echoed in Lu Ran's mind.

Lu Ran's face was full of innocence, and he dared not complain.

"Boom!" The gate of the Divine Ruins once again emitted a violent rumble.

Deng Yuxiang was shaken and flew back, clenching her teeth as she felt the violent energy surging through her body.

Lu Ran was right!

This was indeed an unexpected joy!

For human believers to expand their meridians, they could only do so during promotions or when receiving genuine divine blessings.

Who would have thought that during the attack on the Divine Ruins, if one's output was explosive enough, they could also receive such benefits?

"Hmm."

Lu Ran grunted and caught Deng Yuxiang, trying to reduce the impact.

He dared not delay, took the two Divine Armaments, and rushed towards the Divine Ruins.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The two took turns attacking, creating earth-shattering sounds that reverberated throughout Yeyu City.

The people in the city had long noticed that a grand and magnificent ancient palace had appeared on the peak of Falling Immortal Mountain.

They watched from afar, quickly taking photos to commemorate the moment.

Compared to ordinary people, the few guarding the eastern entrance of Luoxian Village felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

Each rumble was like a heavy hammer, pounding relentlessly on everyone's hearts.

Such high-frequency attacks, such high-frequency injuries...

If it were the disciples of Beifeng City, those at the fifth stage of the River Realm, they would have been severely injured, spitting blood, and fallen unconscious by now.

But here, Lu Ran only had two people!

The Jiang Jing body was indeed powerful, but how long could it last?

"Ugh." Qiao Yuansi nestled in Jiang Ruyi's embrace, not wanting to listen anymore but also unwilling to leave.

There were others with the same conflicting thoughts.

Jiang Ruyi, Deng Yu Tang, Bai Man Ni, and even the two Cheng elders sighed inwardly.

"Thump!"

In the distant forest, Deng Yuxiang's mouth bled, and she struggled to get up, only to stumble and fall back to the ground.

Lu Ran was equally disheveled, trembling as he tightly gripped his divine armament and gazed at the distant palace gate.

The gate was already covered in cracks, appearing as if it would collapse at any moment.

But during the previous three attacks, the gate seemed to be in the same state?

It was as if it was giving them hope, yet it remained standing, mocking their incompetence.

Damn it!

Lu Ran wiped the blood from his mouth.

He really wanted to use his ultimate move!

Summon the Tyrant Evil Spear Clan's Heavenward Evil Spear and directly shatter this broken gate! Or connect with the Savage Na-Na Clan and directly summon a grand Savage Axe!

Which one wouldn't be a burst of power?

Hurry up and let me into the Divine Ruins!

These days of hiding and concealing, even a dog wouldn't put up with it.

I don't know how I endured these past two years.

"Woof~ No, Great Nightmare?"

Lu Ran approached Deng Yuxiang, his head buzzing.

"Un." Deng Yuxiang clenched her teeth, supporting herself on the ground with one hand, and struggled to stand up.

Strictly speaking, her physical condition was slightly better than Lu Ran's, after all, Lu Ran's output was higher than hers.

Her current miserable state was because the previous attack was executed by her.

Deng Yuxiang finally stood up, reaching for the blade in Lu Ran's hand, "Let me do it."

Lu Ran dodged his hand, "We agreed to take turns, aren't you supposed to replace me?"

Deng Yuxiang lowered her head and smiled, continuing to grab for the weapon in Lu Ran's hand.

Taking care of you,

Isn't that what I should be doing?

"Let's do it together." Lu Ran suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

"Before the third time, the gate was already like this. I bet it's at the end of its strength!" Lu Ran said in a low voice.

Deng Yuxiang's head was still a bit dizzy, she squinted and tried to see the distant gate clearly:

"What if we bet wrong?"

Lu Ran was getting irritated, "Then I'll use my ultimate move, and cast the Crimson Paper Demon Technique - Eight-Person Ghost Palanquin!

Let the ghost palanquin bearers carry us, and we'll directly charge in!"

Deng Yuxiang wanted to laugh, but due to the intense pain throughout her body, her laughter was forced, "You want to ride a grand red palanquin with me?

Aren't you afraid that Ruyi will slaughter you?"

Lu Ran: "."

As Deng Yuxiang reached for the Silent Night Blade, a stream of blood dripped down.

She stubbornly said, "I'll do it."

"Go! Forward!" Lu Ran held Deng Yuxiang's arm and took a few steps forward, and suddenly a mystic mist surged beneath their feet.

Deng Yuxiang was startled!

She quickly adjusted her steps, and since Lu Ran was so determined, she couldn't afford to hold him back.

"Sizzle—"

Deng Yuxiang, with her powerful physical control, also summoned a mystic mist beneath her feet.

Leading and following, they became a pair.

This time, the Radiant Blade in Lu Ran's hand burst forth with an unprecedented radiance.

The golden-red radiance was dazzling!

Deng Yuxiang finally understood what Lu Ran was planning to do!

Succeed or die?

In their current state, they couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Give me your strength!" Lu Ran suddenly commanded.

Deng Yuxiang's face turned stiff!

"Follow the order!" Lu Ran shouted sternly.

"Ahhh!" In the blink of an eye, Deng Yuxiang had no time to think, and the word 'order' made her firmly grab Lu Ran's back and push him forward forcefully.

"Crack!!"

With a flash of radiant light, the Divine Ruins gate exploded.

The deafening sound was painfully loud, causing people's eardrums to hurt!

It was like a huge piece of glass shattering, or as if a crack had been torn in the entire world.

The tiny human race, one after another, smashed into the solemn and sacred palace.

Lu Ran's eyes widened slightly.

He could only see straight ahead, a thick mystic mist! "Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

One after the other, they rushed into the white mist cloud.

At the same time, the sacred palace on Falling Immortal Mountain instantly exploded.

Broken bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, splashing in all directions.

The long-lasting sound of the attack finally stopped.

The scattered illusory bricks and tiles, carrying countless energies, gifted the world.

At the foot of Falling Immortal Mountain, there was an uproar!

Countless cultivators who had come early and waited patiently, flew into the sky and dove into the ground, frantically grabbing the broken bricks and tiles.

As for the two Divine Sheep Disciples, they completely disappeared from the mortal realm.

At the same time, in an unknown area.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Lu Ran fell heavily to the ground, like a skipping stone, his body bouncing and stirring up clouds of dust.

"Lu Ran?"

In a daze, a familiar voice echoed faintly, as if coming from the horizon.

Lu Ran lay on his side, opening his eyes, but he also covered his face with one hand.

In the distance, the mountains undulated, and the dying sun was like blood.

Hmm,

After the Divine Ruins.

Four thousand words, please vote!
