The dark clouds rolled, and the rain poured heavily.

In a sky shrouded in darkness, a large fish of pale gold shone brilliantly.

Lu Ran watched as the Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat fiercely collided with a flood dragon and carp.

"Wooo~~~"

The wailing of the furious sea flame flood dragon echoed between the sky and sea.

Lu Ran was overjoyed at the sound!

Mo Li, although it did not wail, was also heavily damaged!

The majestic body, already charred and covered with wounds, was now bent from the collision.

The Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat continued its rampage!

It pushed against the flood dragon and carp, flying toward the nearest coast.

"Strike while the iron's hot, Sect Leader!" Yu Changsheng immediately said, "This time, bring the mirror closer. I'll release the school of fish."

"Mm." Lu Ran summoned an Ancient Bronze Mirror, carefully observing it for a moment, turning it into a full-length mirror.

And the other full-length mirror actually appeared on the path of the Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat's impact!

Truly, high skill emboldens the courage!

Yu Changsheng dared not delay, reaching his hand into it.

Sea Grade Divine Skill·Dragon Carp Break!

A terrifying school of fish swam out, charging forward, ruthlessly ravaging the bodies of the flood dragon and carp.

Without any armor-type skill, even with the strength of two Sea Realm Great Demons, they could not withstand such a bombardment.

Lu Ran could no longer hear the wails of the furious sea flame flood dragon.

And the scorched, shattered Mo Li was equally on the brink of death.

"Cease!" Lu Ran commanded.

Yu Changsheng immediately retracted his hand, and the full-length mirror in front of him disappeared in an instant.

The Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat still carried the two Sea Realm Great Demons, flying across the sea.

Lu Ran cast another spell, steady as ever: "Continue!"

Yu Changsheng was ready to pounce: "Yes!"

Master Lu joined forces with the Dragon Guardian, and after casting spells three times in succession, the Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat finally reached the coast, crashing towards the clifftop.

"Boom!!"

The cliff shattered with a thunderous crash, causing the ground to shake!

But for Lu Ran, the whole world seemed to quiet down.

With his lifeless Dead Sheep Eyes, he gazed at the collapsed mountain from afar.

The Pupil of the Dead World allowed Lu Ran to see dead souls.

Thus, he need not risk his life to check the battlefield; he only needed to look from afar to see if any souls emerged.

After just a few seconds, Lu Ran frowned deeply.

Not dead yet?

How much had the flood dragon and carp been ravaged?

Could the life force of a Sea Realm Great Demon be so tenacious?

Lu Ran immediately said, "We will continue... huh?"

His eyes widened as he saw an enormous, ethereal Soul Body—the furious sea flame flood dragon!

Yet, he still did not see Mo Li's dead soul!

Um...

The Mo Li Clan, like the Dragon Carp Sect, is skilled in healing techniques.

Perhaps it's using the Mo Li Evil Technique·Resurrection Carp to maintain its own life!

Lu Ran suddenly raised his hand: "Nightmare, watch the direction I swing my blade!"

"Yes!" Deng Yuxiang immediately responded, swiftly raising his right hand.

Night Charm Clan River Realm Ultimate Move·Night Charm Evil Blade!

Beneath the rolling dark clouds, two hundred-meter-long Night Charm Evil Blades emerged one after the other.

The two giant blades were like cleavers, chopping down on the fish meat laid out on a chopping board...

It cannot be denied that the Divine Technique performed by Yu Changsheng was of a higher grade and had an extraordinary effect.

But the only two offensive techniques of the Dragon Carp Sect, whether Dragon Carp Break or Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat, relied on impact to attack and triumph.

In the absence of armor on the Sea Realm Great Demon, even if Lu and Deng used River Grade techniques, they could kill across levels.

The sharp Night Charm Evil Blade was also more suited for slaying fish!

"Boom!!"

The twin blades smashed the collapsed rocks, brutally chopping into the already broken, shattered fish body.

Deng Yuxiang, without hesitation, once again activated the ultimate move, summoning another Night Charm Evil Blade.

But before her second strike fell, Lu Ran saw Mo Li's dead soul.

At last!

Lu Ran smiled with surprise.

What a resilient Sea Realm Great Demon, its life was truly formidable!

Yet, no matter how powerful, it was still just a fish and feared the cleaver.

"Mission accomplished!" Lu Ran placed a hand behind his waist, gripping the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd, and with the other hand, he quickly summoned the Ancient Bronze Mirror.

Regardless of whether it's the furious sea flame flood dragon or Mo Li, the bodies of these two Evil Demons remain after death, not dispersing into mist.

Perfect for little Blazing Phoenix to refine!

"Boom!"

Deng Yuxiang's second blade still slashed down.

Nearby, Jing Hong cautiously watched Deng Yuxiang, then quickly lowered her gaze.

In the Ran Sect, the Sect Leader and Mr. Cong Long are relatively easy to get along with, but this Nightmare Guardian... well, the name speaks for itself.

She only occasionally shows a gentle side when facing the Sect Leader.

Deng Yuxiang's presence is like a mountain, constantly weighing down on Jing Hong.

As the saying goes: One cannot manage soldiers with kindness.

Even though Jing Hong harbors no ulterior motives and has completely pledged herself to the Ran Sect, Deng Yuxiang remains harsh, adhering to the role she set for herself early on.

"Let's go!" Lu Ran summoned the full-length mirror and was the first to step inside.

The group arrived at the beach, and Lu Ran, holding the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd, extended it forward: "Eat up!"

"Buzz~"

The Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd happily flew forward, bobbing up and down.

It flew out in a wavy line~

With his sideways pupil, Lu Ran absorbed the two giant dead souls.

"Hiss... roar!!"

The furious sea flame flood dragon roared angrily, the giant dead soul uncontrollably pouring towards Lu Ran.

Lu Ran grinned.

Oh, little flood dragon~

Listless and droopy-tailed when alive, and spirited in death?

Unknown how much Holy Spirit Energy this Sea Realm dead soul carried.

Should he activate the furious sea flame flood dragon Evil Sculpture?

Lu Ran pondered.

As a River Realm, Lu Ran has 16 activation slots for sculptures, having already activated 14 statues.

There are temporarily only 2 slots left.

To earn more activation slots, he must wait until reaching the Sea Realm.

Currently, Lu Ran hasn't even activated the Sword One Divine Statue. Is there truly a slot to spare for the furious sea flame flood dragon?

He must consider carefully.

Currently, Lu Ran does not lack offensive techniques.

He lacks techniques with various effects.

For example, he activated the Mo Li Evil Sculpture without hesitation to survive underwater.

Exploring the field of "naval battles"!

Also gaining healing, control, and strong defense skills like Mo Li Sinking Boat.

The furious sea flame flood dragon's skills are almost entirely offensive, with only the output-enhancing skill·Dragon Flame Body being tempting.

The question is, can the Evil Technique·Dragon Flame Body and the Fierce Heavenly Divine Skill·Fiery Fire Sky Leader stack their effects?

Lu Ran has no confidence.

In any case, the Fierce Heavenly Power, Wilderness Power, and Soul Splitting Power, these power-enhancing techniques, cannot stack their effects.

"Phew~"

While Lu Ran pondered, the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd had already absorbed the massive body of Mo Li.

The scene was quite magical.

After all, the Sea Realm·Mo Li was enormous, while the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd was only slightly larger than a palm.

The gourd's mouth was even smaller!

Yet as it absorbed, it also shrank Mo Li, smoothly absorbing the remains.

In the dim sky, the golden phoenix patterns on the gourd gleamed brightly.

Was the little Blazing Phoenix... happy with its meal?

Lu Ran sensed the Artifact Spirit's joyful emotions and went along with it: "Grow strong, little Blazing Phoenix!

Just absorbing remains is no fun. What's our goal?"

The Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd wobbled, flying left and right.

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly: "Yes, directly absorb living beings!"

The Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd flew down, circling around Lu Ran.

The interaction lasted no more than two seconds before it flew back, its mouth aimed at the corpse of the furious sea flame flood dragon.

Lu Ran: "..."

Your way of coaxing me is really perfunctory!

The massive remains of two Sea Realm Great Demons are worth only a single circle around me?

Little Cheating Phoenix!

Lu Ran silently grumbled, staying busy as well, collecting the two giant souls entirely.

And before the Mo Li dead soul entered the garden, the Mo Li Evil Sculpture was still trembling.

It never stopped!

Lu Ran was full of anticipation, eager to see how high the soul of this Sea Realm·Mo Li could elevate the Mo Li Evil Sculpture...

While the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd absorbed the flood dragon, Lu Ran turned his head toward the sea.

The earth-shattering battle had only just ended.

Perhaps, in the sea, there were still Mo Li Clan members affected, whose souls had not yet emerged.

Yu Changsheng, however, misunderstood, watching Lu Ran's actions and asking, "Shall I collect the remains of the Mo Li tribe for the gourd to refine?"

Lu Ran was in a great mood, smiling: "No need to trouble you, sir."

As he spoke, he walked step by step towards the sea.

Lu Ran chose neither to teleport nor fly but seemed to be heading into the sea?

Yu Changsheng was moved; it seemed their Sect Leader had also mingled in with the Mo Li tribe's ranks?

"Hoo~"

Suddenly, several strands of black gauze appeared, slowly swirling around Lu Ran.

Strictly speaking, these were not gauze but the tails and fins of the Mo Li tribe.

But they did not grow on Lu Ran; instead, they danced around him.

Mysterious and beautiful.

Mo Li Evil Technique·Mo Li Dance!

This technique allows the caster to travel freely through the sky and sea.

In the torrential rain, Lu Ran just floated up like that, then dove into the sea.

"Splash!"

Yu Changsheng sighed deeply, silently watching this scene.

"Let Mr. Cong Long accompany him." Deng Yuxiang softly suggested, genuinely happy for Lu Ran, as he filled another weakness.

"Alright." Yu Changsheng readily agreed, escorting Lu Ran on his first sea journey.

Jing Hong, who was on alert not far away, secretly felt anxious as she noticed a pattern!

After Lu Ran slays an Evil Demon, he gains their abilities!

Lu Ran has also demonstrated abilities of the Immortal Sheep, Fierce Heavenly, and other divine sects.

Does this mean he can also acquire abilities by slaying believers of the gods?

Thinking this, Jing Hong's heart became increasingly uneasy.

Would Master Lu aim his blade at her for the abilities of the War Horn Sect?

Probably... not.

This young man is upright, a good person.

Being a member of Sword Mountain's peak and having participated in the ambush against him, Lu Ran had many reasons to act.

But he didn't do that, instead giving her a chance at life.

A new beginning!

Jing Hong silently clenched her fists.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside her: "Come out!"

Jing Hong quickly snapped back to reality, following Deng Yuxiang's gaze into the distance. The collapsed cliff extended like a slope, stretching into the distant forest.

No sign of any people could be seen in the woods.

Deng Yuxiang beckoned, and the well-fed Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd immediately flew down.

She held the gourd, placing it at her waist, her voice cold:

"Must I invite you?"
