Chapter 435: An Army of Countless Demons?
Chapter 435: An Army of Countless Demons?
The group returned to the Cliffside Cave.
Lu Ran casually opened a teleport mirror for Luo Ying, who was cautious. She sent the Multicolored Bow out of the cave before stepping into the mirror.
The poor divine bow was probably hidden in the sea again.
A Sea Realm Fourth Stage wife, capable of destroying heaven and earth, had returned home. In the afternoon, the River Realm Second Stage husband arrived.
In truth, Xun Yifei and Luo Ying were quite a compatible couple.
Xun Yifei's raw strength was naturally far inferior to his wife's.
But the Yan Qing sect was extremely effective against the An Sha sect! To be more precise, the Yan Qing sect was effective against all water-based sects.
Yan Qing, as a third-rank deity, bestowed upon his disciples the River Realm Ultimate Skill: Water Absorption!
Once Yan Qing's disciples activated this technique, they could absorb all water-based techniques and even transform their enemies' water-based techniques into pure energy, which they could then use for themselves.
No matter how powerful Luo Ying's attacks were, whether it was water mist arrows or water flow arrows, the Canglong Divine Arrow or the Ten Thousand Dragons Calming Sea Arrow, the external manifestations of her divine techniques were all in the form of water currents and water dragons.
Xun Yifei was completely immune to these attacks!
If Luo Ying wanted to harm her husband, using divine techniques wouldn't work; she would have to use her fists or kick him.
Er, why does that sound like domestic violence?
Of course, this immunity had its prerequisites; Xun Yifei's strength couldn't be too weak.
If Luo Ying was at the Sea Realm and Xun Yifei was only at the River Realm, his River Realm Water Absorption technique wouldn't be able to withstand the bombardment of Sea Realm divine techniques.
Regardless, Lu Ran was very keen on activating the North Wind Idol!
It could save his life!
And he could even take his enemies' water-based techniques to replenish his divine power!
What a delightful prospect!
It's worth mentioning that as soon as Xun Yifei arrived, he carefully observed Yan Shuangzi for a while. When he turned to look at Lu Ran, his eyes were blazing with excitement!
Undoubtedly, his wife must have told him a lot after returning home.
"Let's go and take a look at those two bases," Lu Ran said.
Deep in the cave, Deng Yan and the other two immediately stood up.
Lu Ran looked at Yan Shuangzi: "Your main task at this stage is to set your mind! Firmly establish your path and gather your Dao heart. You don't need to follow us."
"Nightmare, you stay here with her."
"Yes!"
"Yes," the two women replied.
"Jing Hong, you can rest too. You stood guard all night yesterday," Lu Ran said casually, summoning an ancient bronze mirror.
"Sect Leader!" Xun Yifei suddenly spoke up.
"What is it?"
"Luo Ying asked me to give this to Ms. Yan." Xun Yifei took out a leaf-wrapped package from his pocket.
Opening the wide leaf, it was filled with smoked fish jerky.
Lu Ran had already smelled the aroma but didn't dare to ask.
Only a mother's heart would be so thoughtful. As a River Realm Fifth Stage cultivator, Yan Shuangzi naturally needed to eat.
Although Luo Ying didn't seem to care much about Yan Shuangzi, her actions were very considerate!
Lu Ran casually picked up a small piece and tore off a strip of meat.
Wow, it tasted great!
While enjoying the delicious smoked fish jerky, Lu Ran, accompanied by Yu Changsheng and Xun Yifei, stepped into the mirror.
He once again returned to the beach, the very place where the Angry Sea Flame Dragon and Ink Carp had their shocking battle.
Xun Yifei looked at Lu Ran and said, "I heard from Luo Ying that you want to find a place by the sea?"
"Mhm." Lu Ran chewed on the fish jerky and nodded.
Xun Yifei stayed in his original spot, slightly embarrassed.
His name had the word "fly" in it, but he didn't have the ability to fly.
Fortunately, Lu Ran's perception was keen, and he bowed his head.
"How does it look from Mr. Dragon's perspective?" After a long while, Lu Ran landed on the eastern cliff, facing the boundless sea.
"The cliff is six to seven hundred meters high, with steep cliffs on three sides. Only the western side has a path leading up, making it easily defensible and hard to attack. It's a great location."
Yu Changsheng gently waved his paper fan and continued, "The prerequisite is that the Sect Leader possesses sufficient strength to control this sea area."
Lu Ran laughed, "Alright, let's see if I can withstand the threat of the ocean."
He took a step forward and stumbled, falling off the cliff.
Below was a beach with reefs scattered in front.
The azure waves crashed against the reefs from time to time, creating splashes of foam.
Lu Ran and Yu Changsheng landed on a large reef one after the other, while Xun Yifei stood at the edge of the cliff hundreds of meters above, silently observing the two.
Lu Ran extended his hand forward and closed his eyes.
Yu Changsheng waved his paper fan, trying to maintain his composure as a master, but his heart was anything but calm.
The Sect Leader is about to create a demon minion! This is a power only a Demon God can possess!
"Divine energy shapes its body, primordial energy builds its soul."
Lu Ran silently recited the incantation, and with a surge of energy in his palm, a massive ink carp gradually took form.
Due to the enormous size of the River Realm Ink Carp, the process of Lu Ran creating the demon minion was prolonged.
Yu Changsheng didn't feel that it took too long.
He focused intently, watching as Lu Ran transformed into a creator, crafting a physical body out of thin air.
Xun Yifei also strained his eyes, witnessing the Sect Leader's astonishing feat.
Under the watchful eyes of the two Sea Realm masters, a fish nearly three hundred meters long finally took shape.
However, it was only a shape; the fish didn't move, stranded on the reef beach.
The River Realm Ink Carp was alive and had a life force, but it seemed like...
"Pop~"
A peculiar sound suddenly echoed.
As if imbued with a soul, the ink carp finally moved! It swayed its fish tail, as delicate as silk, and slowly floated up.
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but clench his fan tightly!
Xun Yifei, standing on the cliff, felt his heart race and couldn't help but harbor some hostility towards the Ink Carp Clan.
But then, Xun Yifei saw the fish cautiously lower its head, allowing a tiny human to reach out and touch it.
Lu Ran turned to look at Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng was full of admiration and exclaimed, "Sect Leader, you are truly skilled."
Lu Ran grinned, "Following Mr. Dragon, I'm not at a loss, am I?"
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, and his tone changed as he joked, "A huge profit!"
Lu Ran: "..."
Yu Changsheng added, "Although this ink carp is from the River Realm, there's only one of it, and it's unlikely to be able to control this sea area."
Lu Ran agreed and extended his palm again.
Then, Lu Ran took the Blaze Phoenix Pattern Gourd and poured divine energy into it, creating eight more ink carps in one go.
Including the previous one, there were now nine River Realm Ink Carps, all at the Fifth Stage of the River Realm!
Lu Ran felt that the Demon Sculpture of the Ink Carp still had some energy left, and he could create one more.
But the Demon Sculpture of the Ink Carp gave Lu Ran a signal that continuing to consume primordial energy might jeopardize its own realm.
Lu Ran decisively stopped and didn't plan to force it further.
So, a Demon Sculpture at the First Stage of the Sea Realm could create up to ten River Realm demons? Then, could a Demon Sculpture at the Second Stage of the Sea Realm create twenty River Realm demons?
This needed further investigation and couldn't be concluded hastily.
Based on the current situation, according to the consumption of Holy Spirit Energy:
Ten River Realm demons = One hundred River Realm demons = One thousand Stream Realm demons = Ten thousand Mist Realm demons!
In other words,
He could now command an army of ten thousand demons? Lu Ran excitedly bit his lip.
Although they were ten thousand Mist Realm minions, weaklings that could die with a touch.
But it was still a force in the tens of thousands!
"Wow!"
Lu Ran suddenly realized a serious problem.
If he set his sights on human cities, could ten thousand Mist Realm demons not easily slaughter a city? Of course, human cities had their guardians.
Even so, if Lu Ran exchanged those ten thousand Mist Realm demons for ten River Realm demons and invaded a city, it would be a special event—Demon Lord Descends! And it would be ten Demon Lords descending together?!
Damn.
Lu Ran shivered, and his mind was filled with a single thought: I'm too powerful!
What's more terrifying was that he didn't just have the Demon Sculpture of the Ink Carp!
There was also the Night Charm Ghost General Demon Spear Emperor, the Evil Dog Black Lamp Soul-Shattering Demon, the Barbarian Land Female Bapa Sinister Mirror Demon, and the Puppetry Crimson Paper Jade-Faced Snake.
Damn!
Thankfully, his target wasn't the human race.
Otherwise, on every fifteenth night, he could blend into the demon army and concentrate his forces. Where couldn't they create a storm of blood and carnage?
At the same time, Lu Ran confirmed something: the demon camp never intended for the human race to be exterminated.
The fifteenth night was merely a night of revelry for demons to absorb the extreme emotions of humans.
Just this one Demon Sculpture of the Sea Realm could pose such a threat; how powerful must the Demon Lord himself be?
But during special events, there was only one Demon Lord in a region?
If the Demon God wished, could hundreds or thousands of Demon Lords invade at once?
"Sigh," Lu Ran couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The stronger he became, the deeper his understanding of this world, and the more he discovered that everything he saw was a lie.
All of humanity was wrapped in a massive lie, exiled and struggling.
Generation after generation, they persevered.
On the first day of the month, I seek support from my dear readers with monthly votes!
