Chapter 390: A Person?!

Chapter 390: A Person?!

Within the spiritual world, in the Divine Demonic Sculpture Garden.

Lu Ran stood before a massive stone sculpture, watching as the Divine Lord Lietyan absorbed the primordial energy into his body.

Without a doubt, Lu Ran was the master of the Divine Sculpture and the Demonic Sculpture.

He could command them, control them, and even act as their full agent!

A

At this moment, Lu Ran, along with the Divine Sculpture of Blazing Heaven, had attracted this strand of pure primordial energy.

"Divine Sheep, are you there?"

After completing this, Lu Ran looked around, searching for the Divine Lord's figure.

However, the black fire sheep head that usually guarded the sculpture garden was now missing.

"Divine Sheep?" Lu Ran called out loudly.

The garden was filled with numerous divine sculptures, yet it was deathly silent.

Lu Ran waited for a moment, and a slight sigh escaped his heart.

Had the connection been severed?

No, I still need you to oversee and help activate the statue. Hmm, wait.

I am the master of the Demonic Race, and also the master of the Divine Race.

To be more precise, currently, I'm still the "Pseudo-Divine Master."

I should also be able to activate the statue? But I don't know how much mental resources it will take to activate the Divine Sculpture of Blazing Heaven.

Currently, I have activated 11 Demonic Sculptures.

Divine Sheep clearly stated: In the Mist Realm, I can activate one statue.

In the Stream Realm, I can additionally activate two more. In the River Realm, I can increase it by five, and in the River Realm, I can add eight more.

Currently, I have reached the River Realm.

1+2+5+8

In total, I have 16 activation slots.

Subtracting the 11 slots I've used, I still have 5 slots left?

In that case, should I try to activate the Divine Sculpture of Blazing Heaven?

Divine Sheep often had a saying that he would repeat: "Walk your own path."

So...

Should I try?

Just now, when Lu Ran absorbed the primordial energy, he did make a hasty decision.

But he didn't randomly choose to let the Divine Sculpture of Blazing Heaven receive the energy.

Firstly, in Lu Ran's heart, he had already chosen the Second Guardian of Burn Gate - Mad Immortal!

At present, Ci Xianxian is still alive, and it doesn't seem like there's any major issue.

But as she advances to the River Realm, everything might change!

Secondly, Lu Ran was also considering his own interests.

Among all the Divine Sects, if you had to choose one that could kill across realms, which one would you pick? The first choice would undoubtedly be the Blazing Heaven Sect!

The explosive output of the Blazing Heaven Sect is just the foundation.

The fundamental reason is that the Blazing Heaven Sect possesses a unique divine technique—Blazing Heaven Tyrant!

This technique uses blazing fire to ignite the body, continuously consuming divine energy and qi power, significantly increasing the divine technique's output!

This is the ultimate confidence for killing across realms!

Divine Sheep has said it a million times—the world beyond the Divine Ruins is very dangerous.

Lu Ran naturally wanted some confidence!

"Activate!"

Lu Ran roared in his heart.

However, the Divine Sculpture of Blazing Heaven didn't budge.

Lu Ran: "..."

He carefully sensed for a moment and felt that he had the ability to activate the statue.

It was just that the primordial energy of the Divine Sculpture of Blazing Heaven was not yet sufficient.

Lu Ran had been fighting in the human realm for so long and had absorbed quite a few human believers' souls.

But among them, there were no Blazing Heaven followers, as the Divine People Bureau rarely recruited such "time bombs."

Hmm, then I'll go collect some more primordial energy!

Thinking this, Lu Ran opened his eyes.

Beside him, Deng Yuxiang silently stood guard, protecting Lu Ran.

"Sister."

"Hmm?" Deng Yuxiang turned to look at him, "Is it done?"

Lu Ran nodded, his face still filled with joy.

Deng Yuxiang asked, "What kind of energy is that?"

Lu Ran explained, "That's the energy cultivated by the gods and demons, the most fundamental power supporting the divine and demonic sculptures.

My garden's demonic sculpture has grown to this point because of it.

You can call it 'Essence Energy.'"

"Essence Energy," Deng Yuxiang said thoughtfully.

"Let's call it 'Source Energy,'" Lu Ran decided on the name, "Actually, both you and I have a trace of Source Energy within us."

Deng Yuxiang listened attentively, waiting for the rest.

Lu Ran said, "When we become believers, the gods will grant us a strand of Source Energy.

Source Energy is the foundation for signing contracts and also a mark.

Usually, it hides within our souls, and we can't use it.

After we die, Source Energy will lead our souls to the gods, nourishing their divine sculptures."

Deng Yuxiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She suddenly remembered that after the battle in Beifeng City, when she woke up in the hotel bed, Lu Ran had told her:

Beifeng wanted your life, wanted to take away your soul, and nourish the stone sculpture.

At that time, Deng Yuxiang's thoughts were in disarray, but Lu Ran had told her many secrets.

"After people die, will their souls also be taken away?" Deng Yuxiang's expression was not good.

Whenever souls were mentioned, people would be wary.

Everyone knew that death was not the worst outcome.

Many demonic races had techniques to imprison and abuse souls, and their cruel methods were appalling!

Lu Ran shrugged, "The gods probably like human souls.

Otherwise, why do all the divine sects rarely have techniques that harm souls?

Hmph, maybe the gods are worried about damaging their food."

Deng Yuxiang's expression grew even more unpleasant.

She remained silent for a long time before whispering, "Be careful what you say."

After all, they were both believers of Divine Sheep.

"Oh." Lu Ran smiled.

Up until now, he hadn't told Deng Yuxiang that the so-called demonic sculpture garden was actually a "Divine-Demonic" sculpture garden.

After all, Deng Yuxiang had grown up in a unique era, and the concepts instilled in her since childhood couldn't be changed in a day or two.

Hmm. Take it slow, there will be a suitable opportunity in the future.

Lu Ran changed the topic, "Normal followers can't cultivate essence energy, but you should be able to."

D

"Yes!" Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, it's much easier to communicate with an intelligent person.

D

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Ran, "You just absorbed the essence energy into the sculpture garden to cultivate the evil sculpture, right?"

Lu Ran remained calm, "Yes, I used it to cultivate the sculptures, and the effect is quite good."

Deng Yuxiang immediately said, "Then let's continue searching."

"Okay!" Lu Ran immediately summoned the Bond Mirror and swiped, but didn't find any essence energy.

He tilted his head back and used his utmost gaze, searching the sky.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, Lu Ran still couldn't find the drifting essence energy.

He spoke, "Let's go, we'll expand our search area."

"Which direction should we go?"

"East, of course. Purple Qi comes from the East, right?" Lu Ran said with a smile, and a black cloud gathered under his feet.

Deng Yuxiang naturally had no objections, and the two immediately headed east.

But just a few minutes later, Lu Ran, who was riding on clouds and mist, suddenly turned around.

As he flew backward, he watched Deng Yuxiang running towards him, and a sad expression appeared on his face:

"Poor Great Nightmare, you still have to run away~"

Hmm. At least those long legs weren't wasted?

Deng Yuxiang: ???

"Hey." Lu Ran drew out the Radiant Blade and handed it backward.

"Huff~"

S

S

Lu Ran: "..."

Alright, you're amazing. You know how to have fun.

Lu Ran retracted the Radiant Blade, "Why didn't you use them earlier?"

Deng Yuxiang looked at his disappointed expression and smirked, "Just warming up, stretching my muscles."

Lu Ran suddenly felt the urge to transform into Xiao Yuansi, shaking his head and mimicking a smart aleck, "Stretching my muscles~"

But he didn't dare.

Lu Ran looked up at the sky, occasionally swiping the Bond Mirror in his hand.

Although the two had a goal, they could only search aimlessly.

After a long journey, Deng Yuxiang spoke, "This world isn't normal; there are no birds or beasts, nothing at all."

"Hmm," Lu Ran nodded.

Endless trees adorned the mountains, appearing lush and vibrant, but not a single animal could be seen among them.

It was truly eerie.

Just as Lu Ran was about to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"It's here!"

Lu Ran was excited as he saw the essence energy in the mirror and immediately changed the nature of the Bond Mirror.

Demonic Mirror Technique - Mirror Flower Moon!

He quickly rushed into the mirror on the ground, his gaze fixed on a low bush. A strand of mystic mist was flowing down along the lush leaves.

Lu Ran immediately activated the Netherworld Eye, bent down, and extended his face towards the bush.

The next moment, Lu Ran twitched his ears, "There's movement!"

"Hmm?" Deng Yuxiang was quite surprised.

In this deathly silent world, was there finally some living creature?

It was...

Deng Yuxiang's eyes widened slightly, expecting to see birds or beasts.

Unexpectedly, it was a few human figures?

Humans?

The dense forest obstructed their view.

When one of the men approached and saw the couple, he also seemed startled.

"You two are unfamiliar faces," the middle-aged man said from a distance.

Lu Ran had already retracted all the evil techniques and didn't respond to the man. Instead, he focused on absorbing the last strand of essence energy into his eye.

As the man spoke loudly, the other searchers were also drawn over.

"May I ask which divine lord's esteemed disciple are you two?" The man smiled kindly and approached.

He wore a black robe that looked a bit old, with his long hair falling over his shoulders, as if he had been in this world for quite some time.

Deng Yuxiang observed him for a moment and said, "Divine Sheep."

"Divine Sheep?" The man's expression was one of surprise.

Deng Yuxiang's expression turned displeased, "What's wrong?"

"Ahaha." The man's face showed apology as he laughed and clasped his hands, "In this realm, it's rare to see high disciples of the Divine Sheep."

"Step aside." A woman's voice came from the trees.

Deng Yuxiang turned to look and saw a graceful middle-aged woman in a bright red robe slowly descending.

The man bowed his head and respectfully retreated several steps.

The woman looked at the two of them with a smile, "You two are young, yet possess such talent. You must be exceptionally gifted and have already reached the River Realm. Forgive my rudeness!"

As she spoke, the woman kept observing Deng Yuxiang and Lu Ran's expressions.

She continued, "From your state, I assume you've just arrived in this realm recently?"

Deng Yuxiang didn't respond but asked, "Who are you?"

"Hehe." The woman shook her head with a smile, her expression turning bitter, "A group of ignorant people challenging the Divine Ruins, that's all.

Since you've just arrived here, you must have many questions about this realm.

If you don't mind, you can come to the mountains and chat."

[Eight people, four in front and four behind.]



Suddenly, Lu Ran's mental communication entered Deng Yuxiang's mind.

The woman walked forward with a gentle smile, "It's understandable for you two to be cautious.

I do have the intention to befriend young talents.

To show my sincerity, you may ask me anything, and I'll answer to the best of my ability."

Lu Ran's mental communication came again, his voice serious: [The four behind are making hand gestures, something feels off!]
