Lu Ran clearly remembered that at the end of October, he once saw a misty scene at the First Heaven·Fengxiang God Mountain.
At that time, not long after the fall of Greedy Wolf-Evil Dog, the God Demon Camp had just initiated the bait plan.
Immortal Sheep specifically told Lu Ran to go to the Demon Cave where Evil God·Ghost Moon Fox resided and see what kind of grotesque beings were lying in ambush.
Lu Ran dared not go.
He didn't even dare to approach the Divine Mountain.
After all, the fused God Demon·Poison Flower Bee could share its vision with Lu Ran once its pollen stained him.
Afraid of being detected, he looked distantly at the divine mountain shrouded in thick fog, then turned away.
Now only the Spiritual Image remains on the mountain, with other God Demon minions declining rapidly, Lu Ran naturally dared to explore thoroughly.
"Xiang Wang, could it be that the mist at the end of October was drawn by you?"
Lu Ran murmured to himself, along with Yan Shuangzi who was also invisible, starting a meticulous search from the Divine Mountain of the Third Heaven and searching down to the First Heaven.
Nothing!
Not a single trace of the Human Clan!
Only massive Spiritual Image minions madly charging, trampling the Faceless Jade Venerable, also getting jade-ified by Jade Venerable minions, and finally shattered into powder.
[Master, I found it!]
[Ah?] Lu Ran was initially stunned, then overjoyed inside, [You found Xiang Wang?]
[Two!]
[Two? Where are they?] Lu Ran suddenly had a moment of doubt about his own abilities.
From the First Heaven to the Third Heaven, Lu Ran crazily searched around the Divine Mountain, not seeing a single Human Clan disciple, yet Yan Shuangzi found two?
[Right under the Spiritual Image Divine Sculpture's feet at the summit of the Third Heaven. The Divine Weapon informed me, it's stepping on two people beneath its front feet.]
Lu Ran: !!!
[Don't... don't act rashly, I'm coming over!] Quickly conveying the command through his mind, he hurriedly flew upwards sticking to the divine mountain.
"Woo~~~"
"Boom!!" Suddenly a group of Spiritual Image minions slammed down heavily.
Lu Ran's reaction was noticeably slower, narrowly escaping with instant teleportation, appearing quite embarrassed.
His physical condition was very poor.
Despite being a Heavenly Realm Power, generally having great assurance in physical and mental capacity.
Yet within half a day, Lu Ran had maneuvered over three divine mountains for tasks, pushing his body to the limit.
Or perhaps, he had long surpassed the limit, with body and mind severely overspent.
Only because the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd was powerful enough and Little Yuanxi's Healing Technique grade was high enough, allowing Lu Ran to keep pushing onward.
Apart from today's march from north to south, just the previous battle was at Thunder God Mountain!
Lu Ran led the team against Dong Ting, Purple Thunder Demon Peng, Martial Artist, and Jade-faced Snake.
How long apart?
Just two or three days!
Eduring from Yan Zhi God Mountain, engaging in combat with God Demon. Earlier on the same day, Lu Ran took part in a life-and-death battle against many God Demons from Huaqing God Mountain.
What intensity of mission is this?
To race against time, to decrease tragedies on lunar December fifteen in the human world...
Lu Ran is truly burning out.
The crowd still in despair, still collapsing, still mourning, paying homage to the fallen gods.
People don't realize that the long-lost Pride of Da Xia, known among the world, is sacrificing everything at an unspoken location for their sake...
It's a pity, the physical body still limited Lu Ran's performance. Only Ran Sect members turned into stone sculptures could follow the Sect Master, biting God Demon like mad dogs.
In the plan, Lu Ran wanted to push through Fengxiang God Mountain in one go.
But reality is harsh.
No matter how he hurried, no matter how he tried not to faint, Fengxiang God Mountain had retreated after all.
Leaving only one Spiritual Image standing.
Clearly, it's not that it couldn't leave, it deliberately stayed here.
What's the situation with the Third-class God·Spiritual Image?
Lu Ran painfully holding his buzzing mind, returned to the summit of the Third Heaven, gazing at the two front feet of the god.
The elephant foot is so enormous, how can it expose the ants of Human Clan beneath?
Lu Ran frowned tightly, slowly flew down, summoning Mountain Lord's Divine Technique·Earth Escape Technique, quietly merging into the mountain body.
"Cough... cough..."
The heavy elephant foot had already left a deep footprint on the ground, and at the center of the footprint, there lay embedded a small Human Clan individual.
One with the qualification to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, strength undisputed.
Even being stepped by God Demon, a Heavenly Realm being relying solely on physical strength could crush the mountain rocks to escape from below.
If nothing else, at least create some breathing and movement space for themselves.
But the disheveled middle-aged man under the elephant foot didn't do so.
He lay prostrate on the ground, closely fitting with the sunken mountain body, firmly embedded within.
He breathed heavily, his face flushed red, even still trying to raise his head...
However, the utmost effort of a small Human Clan was but futile against the power.
"Crack!"
The elephant foot wasn't pushed up by the back of his head, instead, it pressed down another three inches.
The middle-aged man was harshly crushed downward.
The Water Flow Armor provided good protection, keeping the Human Clan from becoming a pool of flesh.
[All these years, you still haven't learned to submit.]
The heavy voice ringing in the man's mind, causing his head to buzz.
[Your companion is far more tactful.]
"Why... why involve others in... our matters?" The man bit his teeth hard, still struggling to stand tall.
[Human Clan, despicable species, deserve death.]
"You got anxious, haha! You're scared! You all... so many died, you too will... die hahahaha!"
[If I were afraid, why would I stay alone here.]
The Spiritual Image voice is thick, like the deep bell in a temple, majestic and enduring.
"You... you have nowhere to go!"
"You want to be a king, you lack strength! Poison Bee, Profound Ape, Ghost Moon Fox all betrayed you!"
"You... dare not follow them to pledge allegiance to Jade-faced Snake, in front of Jade-faced Snake, you can only kneel!"
[Insolence!] Spiritual Image shouted angrily.
"Crack!!"
The elephant's foot descended once more.
The middle-aged man was deeply crushed into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of gravel, yet he kept laughing, "You think you can be king? Your divine minions have abandoned you, knowing your power is lacking!
Beyond this tiny domain, you'd have to kneel everywhere else!
Do you still want dignity? Hahaha! Ahhh..."
The laughter suddenly turned into a scream of agony.
Accompanied by a piercing sound, the middle-aged man's Water Flow Armor shattered with a thunderous crash, his flesh ruthlessly crushed, continuously breaking the ground below.
"You can't even force me to bow!"
With his face pressed into the dirt, his mouth full of dust and gravel, the middle-aged man continued to shout madly, "Yes, kill me! It's the only thing you can do!"
[You won't die so easily.] Accompanied by a deep voice, the elephant's foot cruelly ground back and forth, [Before I die, I will make your wish come true.]
"Death, bring it on! Hahahahaha, I'm hoping for it!"
The middle-aged man laughed loudly, arrogance unmatched even underfoot, "Earlier I was blind, worshiping at your altar, but remember this, Spiritual Image!
Since the day of ascension to the Heavenly Realm, I haven't bowed to you once! Not until my death!
Come, kill me, ahhh...
The rampant laughter turned into a shrill scream.
"Crack! Crack!"
The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed.
The solidity of the rocks was evidently no match for the physical strength of someone from the Heavenly Realm; the man suffered severe injuries, clearly due to Spiritual Image suddenly exerting force.
"Ahhhh..." The man's screams grew louder.
He could have escaped from below, but doing so would be meaningless.
With the Lord God personally overseeing, where could he run to?
From another perspective, to avoid suffering and torture, bowing and yielding might offer some room for negotiation.
This is exactly what Spiritual Image desires.
But this clearly doesn't suit the man's disposition!
He seemed more like he was begging for death, determined to die under Spiritual Image's foot, further proving Spiritual Image's incompetence.
"Yes! Kill me, damn you Spiritual Image, ahhh..."
The middle-aged man's screaming abruptly stopped, his eyes widened suddenly.
The rocks below exploded, a hand suddenly grasped his wrist, and soared out.
"Zzzzz~zzz~"
Thunder and lightning coiled around Lu Ran's feet, his speed astonishingly fast, forcefully breaking a path through the mountain.
At the same time, on the mountain peak, Divine Sculpture of Spiritual Image's eyes changed drastically!
A surge of energy erupted from its back, as if two figures had mounted it?
"Woooo~~~"
The elephant's call was earth-shatteringly loud, shaking the soul.
This was no ordinary elephant call, but the Spiritual Image's Divine Technique: Thunderous Call combined with Demon Elephant's Evil Technique: Soul-Grieving Howl.
Both effects are similar, able to release terrifying sonic attacks.
The sound waves carry a strong spiritual deterrent effect, shaking the hearts and souls of all beings in their path!
Yan Shuangzi, seated atop Spiritual Image, clutching the Demon Prison Lock, froze in mid-air, her gaze becoming vacant.
He Yingcai was completely unaffected, immune to any spiritual output.
Her stone hands pressed down, ten nearly transparent red threads directly adhering to Spiritual Image's back.
As the Divine Sculptures atop the mountain froze, Lu Ran had already grabbed the middle-aged man, darting from below one elephant foot, seizing another man, and charging out of the mountain.
"Boom!"
A hole was opened in the cliff, gravel splattering out.
Lu Ran, holding onto the wrists of two men, flew backward rapidly, looking up at the mountain top.
"Who...who's there?" The disheveled middle-aged man, with a collapsed back, his ragged clothes mixed with gravel and dust, merged into his distorted flesh and blood.
Looking at him made one feel pain.
He opened his eyes groggily, seeing a young man wearing a Blood Crystal Mask.
A youth?
Those eyes were chilling.
"Ah!"
"Ah..." In the next instant, the two men held by Lu Ran screamed simultaneously.
Jiang Ruyi flew out from the gourd, forcibly severing the contract threads of the two men from the height of God Demon.
The pain was inevitable.
But it could save lives!
Compared to believers who self-mutilated and tore up contracts, such pain was already mild and wouldn't degrade their rank.
"Woooo~~~"
Suddenly, the elephant's call reverberated across the sky once more.
Everyone's expressions changed; they looked back in an instant.
On the elephant's back, He Yingcai was dumbfounded! It was her first failure since battling in the Heavenly Realm.
Tangled Silk + Lotus Silk Chaos could disrupt the target's divine power, thus preventing the enemy from casting spells.
However, it must be stated that under Da Xia's Divine Demon System, all control-type divine and evil techniques are soft control.
No exceptions!
Martial Monks, Jade-faced Snakes, only need to slightly activate Purification Skill. With slight releases of Golden Wind, White Mist, soft control techniques would quickly be broken.
Therefore, previously, when Lu Ran led a team to kill Martial Monks, the Domain of Silence was kept open.
Only the Divine Weapon Domain wielded by Lu Ran and Silent Night Blade really counts as hard control!
But at this moment, Lu Ran couldn't afford to use it.
"Boom!"
The already massive Divine Sculpture of Spiritual Image rumbled with rampant divine power, expanding enormously.
The towering mountains continuously collapsed beneath the elephant's feet.
"Ah!" He Yingcai exclaimed, immediately grasping the stiff Yan Shuangzi, quickly retreating backward.
"Woooo~~~"
The elephant's call was deep and resonant, shaking the heavens and earth!
