CHAPTER 1110: CHAPTER 1037: THE BORDERLANDS?

The trial isn’t over, and the battle continues.

Lu Ran wielded the Venerable Slayer Blade, slicing down one blood-colored head after another.

Ferocious to the extreme!

By the lakeside, Deng Yuxiang leaned against a large tree, arms crossed in front of her, silently watching the battle.

This shouldn’t be called a spar, but rather a massacre.

Deng Yuxiang did not find it cruel; instead, her eyes shimmered with interest as she fixed her gaze on the youth clad in the Black Gold Emperor Robe, admiring his fierce offensive and sensing that indescribable warrior charisma.

Lu Ran was right, who could withstand a few rounds under his hands?

Below the Heavenly Realm, he was nearly invincible.

Above the Heavenly Realm, he had plenty of means to kill across levels.

"Puff!!"

In the distance, the bloody tide surged forth.

That was the Blood Skull Sect’s ultimate move—Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers!

Lu Xing’s entire body boiled with blood, surging out in all directions into a fierce sea of blood.

The scorching blood could burn all devouring things to ashes.

The beautiful lakeside under moonlight was thus destroyed, completely consumed by the terrifying blood sea... No! Not everyone was consumed.

The Emperor-robed youth stood silently, not a small boat tossed in the stormy waves, but a Stabilizing Needle that shook the heavens and earth.

All blood-colored tides rushing towards him were fiercely suppressed, quickly dissipating without a trace.

[I misjudged.] Deng Yuxiang sent a message, [Until today, I always thought you were soft-hearted, with even softer hands.]

Amidst the sea of blood, Lu Ran advanced step by step with the Venerable Slayer Blade:

[I can lighten my hand, but the Faceless Jade Venerable will not.]

Deng Yuxiang’s expression was somewhat peculiar: [So you killed Uncle Lu six times in five minutes?]

Lu Ran twirled the blade in his hand, snorting: [You talk about me! When have you ever been gentle when facing Young Master Deng?]

Deng Yuxiang pondered for a moment, nodding as if in agreement.

This battle opened her mind.

All along, due to her younger brother’s frailty, she could only use ruthless hands but not deadly ones.

Once Yutang becomes a god, it will be completely different!

Deng Yuxiang squinted her eyes.

Her brother with a Heavenly Realm body, she... could indulge in slaughter.

[Speaking of Young Master Deng, he’s currently inside the gourd merging with the stone sculpture.]

[Oh?] Deng Yuxiang’s eyes flickered, [Yutang has ascended to the Heavenly Realm?]

Just as she was about to get sleepy, someone sends her a pillow?

[Yes, just now... just now!] The transmission obviously paused.

Deng Yuxiang’s eyes narrowed, seeing Lu Ran flit like a ghost, the turbulent sea of blood the perfect backdrop, and the blood shadow within, supposed to destroy worlds, seemed like lambs waiting for slaughter.

In a split second, who knows how many blades clashed between the two sides.

Lu Xing’s expression was rigid, spinning in place, wielding dual blades wearily.

He wanted to teleport but was infiltrated by black mist lines, the Evil Cloud Entanglement from the Evil Spear Emperor Clan, hindering his spellcasting.

He wanted to exit the battle, regroup, but his son was like a haunting specter!

Lu Xing could neither advance nor retreat.

Could neither live nor die!

This isn’t a battle; it’s a lesson.

Just a very unique teaching method.

Lu Xing, with full awareness, felt completely controlled, when to strike, when to sidestep...

In each crisis, the response to escape was all forced out by his son!

In Lu Xing’s world, his child didn’t give him a second choice, only continuously grasping fleeting opportunities to survive each time with difficulty.

It really is... infuriating?!

Tangled in the black mist lines, Lu Xing’s Burning Blood Body completely quieted down, Lu Ran’s power naturally gaining absolute dominance.

Lu Xing’s dual blades were consecutively knocked away.

Soon, Lu Xing noticed the malevolent black mist lines within him dissipate, allowing him to cast spells normally.

"Whoosh!" At the same time, the Venerable Slayer Blade swiftly stabbed forth.

What does this mean?

Once again, his son provided him an opportunity, allowing him to teleport to evade and fetch the blade.

"Screech!"

The blade pierced flesh!

The sharp blade tip punctured the blood-colored skin, directly stabbing into Lu Xing’s chest, piercing through the boiling heart.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran’s expression froze, raising his eyes to see that fierce blood-colored face.

Was his action too quick for his father to react?

It wasn’t!

Father’s expression... so fierce?

"Clap clap," two crisp sounds!

Lu Xing extended two bloody hands, one gripping the blade, the other Lu Ran’s wrist, a thick blood mist exuding from the blood-colored skull necklace around his neck.

Lu Ran felt a chill in his heart, thinking indeed.

Blood Skull Evil Technique: Skull Bursting Burial!

In the Divine Demon System, all self-explosion skills often carried above-average terrifying output.

It’s all about mutual destruction!

Lu Ran’s figure flashed abruptly.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The skull necklace exploded, a terrifying blast mixed with thick blood mist echoed and roared.

Lu Xing’s body exploded, bloody winds and rains filled the sky.

Shattered limbs and flesh splattered, the Black Gold Emperor Robe immediately raised its hem, blocking everything.

"Buzz~" The Venerable Slayer Blade in Lu Ran’s hand lightly trembled once again.

Lu Ran: "..."

What are you so shocked about?

If this continues, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you around...

"Poof~" The blood and flesh on Lu Ran’s robe gradually turned into wisps of blue smoke.

All the blood in the world dissipated, and the mountains, forests, and lakes under the moonlight returned to their original colors.

A massive remnant shadow of an Evil God spread out by the lakeside.

With a flick of his heart, Lu Ran let the emperor robe draped in front of him fall gracefully, raised his head, and looked at his father with a smile:

"Going so hard on your son?"

Lu Xing: "..."

Deng Yuxiang: "..."

How could you say such a thing?

Lu Xing remained silent, watching the young human emperor, noticing that Lu Ran not only smiled but also seemed quite delighted.

This scene filled Lu Xing’s heart with mixed emotions.

Once, he personally taught his son how to hold a knife and how to strike.

Now, everything had reversed.

In the battle, his son said nothing, yet with overwhelming force, guided and forced him to make the only correct reaction again and again.

He had exhausted all his skills, but ultimately could only escape his son’s control with a self-destructive method.

"Hoo!!"

The massive Evil God’s remnant shadow continued to compress, merging into the newly created blood skull minion.

Lu Ran flew backward: "Nightmare, let the minions go."

Deng Yuxiang leaned against a big tree, gave a look to the distant Heavenly Realm minion, and as the young man landed beside her, she teased: "Have a change of heart?"

Lu Ran looked at the woman with a dark gaze.

Deng Yuxiang acted as if she hadn’t noticed, always gazing at the distant battle group: "The effect is pretty good; Uncle’s attacks have become much more fierce."

Lu Ran carefully observed for a moment and couldn’t help but nod.

Indeed, the effect was significant!

Deng Yuxiang casually said: "After Yutang becomes a god, I’ll give him special training like this too."

Lu Ran’s hand fell to his waist, touching the chubby treasure gourd.

Poor Young Master Deng~

He probably still thinks he’s about to become a supreme god.

Little does he know, a nightmare is about to descend...

"Is there any news from Cong Long’s side?" Deng Yuxiang suddenly asked.

"Still infiltrating." Lu Ran shook his head.

In the past three months, he had been honing his blade on the Heavenly Realm battlefield, maintaining the Great Xia Battle Zone’s stability, while other Ran Sect warriors were not idle either.

Dragon Guardian · Yu Changsheng’s task was quite heavy!

Since the Ran Sect had decided to transfer power peacefully as much as possible and avoid too many tragedies in the world, the so-called "infiltration" naturally became a priority.

After the Eternal Night Rider was sent back to Europe by the Evil Shadow Guardian, they conscientiously expanded their forces and developed members under the Lady of Burning Gate’s orders.

The warriors led by Yu Changsheng infiltrated other battle zones in secret.

Yu Changsheng, with his Heavenly Realm body, even personally went to India.

After detailed planning and discussion, the Ran Sect targeted a remarkable goal: First-class Evil God: Fire Evil Monk.

The Fire Evil Monk is the two sides of the same coin with India’s First-class God: Fire God Woman.

Much easier to lure!

After all, to this day, the Fire God Woman’s divine soul is still imprisoned in the Rebirth Coin String hanging from Lu Ran’s waist.

It must be said that the terrifying methods of the Lady of Burning Gate · Phoenix Soul Brand gave the Ran Sect immense support.

Regardless of the means, whether through deceit or coercion, as long as the Phoenix Soul Brand can inscribe itself into the soul of a god or demon, the Ran Sect can gain a loyal servant.

During this time, Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi led the grand strategy in the Heavenly Realm, patiently waiting.

Waiting for Mr. Cong Long to use every means to invite the Fire Evil Monk to Da Xia and into the Ran Sect.

Once this Evil God joined their ranks, the Ran Sect would undoubtedly drive a nail into the Tianzhu Battle Zone, with results far surpassing that of the Europe Battle Zone!

After all, the Fire Evil Monk is a First-class Evil God, while the Eternal Night Rider is a Second-class Evil God.

Their influence is worlds apart.

"Let’s wait and see." Lu Ran said softly, "Infiltration is not straightforward combat; it can’t be resolved in just a few minutes."

"Yes." Deng Yuxiang nodded gently, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "What about Lord Immortal Sheep..."

Lu Ran frowned slightly.

Deng Yuxiang saw his subtle expression and sighed deeply in her heart.

Lu Ran, in her eyes, is fearless and never yields, but in matters concerning Lord Immortal Sheep, the young man keeps avoiding again and again.

But how long can such avoidance last?

"In a couple of days, I plan to explore the border of the Heavenly Realm," Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

He indeed changed the subject.

Deng Yuxiang looked at the emperor-robed youth, as if seeing a helpless and sorrowful child. Her voice became much gentler:

"I’ll go with you."

"I’ll go invisible and gather intel more conveniently." Lu Ran shook his head again, "Scout Wei Yun, Jin Que’er, and others within the sect have constantly been probing, and the closer they get to the border, the more perilous it becomes.

Without the Invisibility Technique, they can’t probe too far.

Having you by my side would expose my whereabouts."

Deng Yuxiang was silent for a long time, softly murmured "mm."

To this day, the Ran Sect scouts have not been able to traverse the border of the Heavenly Realm battlefield and enter the Faceless Jade Venerable’s stronghold.

From the intelligence that has been gathered, the Ran Gate Gods wish to counterattack the Faceless Jade Venerable...

The outcome is hard to predict.

But one thing is foreseeable:

Casualties,

are inevitable.

...
