This time ascending to the Heavenly Realm, Lu Ran brought a group of followers and divided them into two teams.

The first team was commanded by Jiang Ruyi.

Yu Changsheng supported, with Bai Rao, He Qifeng, and Tu Feng as the output, Yin Yan as the scout, Chang Ying-Ghost Moon Fox as the sentinel, and Qin Yanzhi as the teleporter.

It's worth mentioning that Bai Rao and He Qifeng's true forms were integrated into one stone sculpture, allowing them to wield each other's skills.

This was really important!

Bai Rao inherited the Jade-faced Snake, yet she could use Martial Monk's skills.

Similarly, as long as He Qifeng wished, she could transform into a three-thousand-meter-long Immortal Sky Python, covering the sky, devouring everything...

The two seemed to be independent entities, each with the First Level of Heaven Realm physical form, their appearances unique, styles distinct, seemingly unrelated.

But in terms of their true forms' stone sculpture, the two were intertwined.

Hearts connected!

When the two fought together, they didn't even need to communicate verbally.

Just hearing about it makes one envious.

Who, in the deadly battlefield, wouldn't want a comrade with such tacit understanding?

The second team of the Ran Sect was led by Deng Yuxiang.

With Yan Chou, Wu Xiao, and Luo Ying as output, Wei Yun as the scout, Bai Yanhui as the prophet, and Lu Yuan as the teleporter.

The team configuration was also the result of Lu Ran's discussion with Yu Changsheng before ascending to the Heavenly Realm.

When Yin Yan heard that she couldn't follow the Sect Leader and was instead assigned to a team, she felt a bit resistant inside.

But when she learned who Jiang Ruyi was, she instantly stopped resisting.

She was also deeply interested in the Sect Leader's beloved and wanted to protect this young girl for him.

Within this Stone Peak, Lu Ran changed Yin Yan's fate, allowing her to inherit the second-class Evil Sculpture·Yinli Tiger.

However, Lu Ran had not yet allowed her to merge with the stone sculpture, as this required 2~3 days, and he planned to handle this upon returning to Holy Spirit Mountain for rest.

Time waits for no one!

Huangfu watched the whole contract process and couldn't help but marvel.

He became more curious about the Young Master's identity.

He heard the Young Master say that the god he revered was the last-ranked, last-positioned Immortal Sheep?

Hmm...

This world is too bizarre, repeatedly catching Huangfu off guard.

If not for meeting the Young Master, Huangfu could never imagine that Immortal Sheep was a behind-the-scenes mastermind-level existence in this lifetime.

Just earlier, Huangfu crushed several pieces of Soul Jade.

Nine-class Evil Demon·Soul Jade!

Even wrapped with "God Demon Minion" shell, Soul Jade was only fit to be a tool.

In Huangfu's understanding, the Nine-class God·Immortal Sheep was probably of the same ilk.

Even if beast gods were slightly superior to item-type God Demons, when you're at the last position, how high can you stand?

Yet... hmm.

Filled with astonishment and with blood boiling, Huangfu wholeheartedly strategized for the Young Master.

Soon, he chose two areas for the Ran Sect's teams.

One in the southeast, one in the central west.

Both were far from the Divine Mountain, with the types of God Demon minions appearing relatively weak.

Huangfu chose the Fiery Fire Divine Mountain in the west for the Young Master.

Under Huangfu's lead, Lu Ran dispatched the two teams and then headed west.

Time flew, days passed.

Lu Ran finally found the destination!

"Young Master?" A purple lightning bird returned, Huangfu came to Lu Ran's side, unsure why the youth had stopped.

"I have seen it," said Lu Ran.

"Have you seen the Fiery Fire Divine Mountain?" Huangfu looked westward following Lu Ran's gaze, but in the dim light of the Heavenly Realm, he only saw a haze.

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded, gazing far, "The Flame Chrysanthemums are blooming splendidly."

A whole city adorned with golden armor!

Truly splendid...

Seventh-class God·Flame Chrysanthemum, resembling a giant golden chrysanthemum, burned with golden flames all over its body.

This touch of noble gold shone even more brightly against the doomsday-like backdrop!

As a god's minion, Flame Chrysanthemum certainly bore upon the minion of Evil Demon·Ghost Fire Chrysanthemum.

Ghost Fire Chrysanthemums were also in full bloom.

This clan was entirely gray, and the flames burning upon it were gray, with sky raining eerie burning gray petals.

In the gray sky, additional specks of ash fell, enhancing the doomsday atmosphere.

Extremely wasteland-themed!

That was, naturally, the skill of the third-class Evil Demon·Ash Destruction Demon clan.

In such a dim world, the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragons flying in the sky and lying upon the Divine Mountain became the final touch.

"What a sight." Lu Ran murmured, feeling he had come to another world.

Counting the Divine Mountains he had already seen:

Flower Sea Divine Mountain with snow flying everywhere, black lotuses and ice roses with ice butterflies fluttering among them.

Dying Wood Divine Mountain was a decaying mess, dead branches everywhere, covering the sky, full of a sense of failure.

Thunder Divine Mountain was shrouded in purple thunderclouds, clumps of Purple Thunder Orchid leaves like swords, currents overflowing, piercing the sky diagonally.

And before him, the Fiery Fire Divine Mountain...

Changing a Divine Mountain changes a world, doesn't it?

Lu Ran suddenly felt the urge to take photos.

If in the future he could indeed fulfill his wish, wouldn't all these strange Divine Mountains in the Heavenly Realm disappear?

Hmm... it indeed should be photographed, kept as memorabilia.

If he truly succeeded, flipping through the albums years later might evoke entirely different emotions.

"Young Master?"

"Sir, this is as far as you go," Lu Ran placed a hand on Huangfu's shoulder, leaving a spatial mark.

"Yes." Huangfu nodded slightly, seeing Lu Ran handed a half Tiger Talisman.

"If anything happens, Mr. Huangfu can contact me... by the way, sir." Lu Ran paused, seemingly hesitant.

"Young Master, please speak without hesitation!"

"What's your name, sir?" Lu Ran inquired.

Huangfu smiled, and said, "I am Zhao."

"Is it the Zhao that means 'the world and heavens can witness, the sun and moon can shine'?"

"The Young Master flatters me."

"It's truly a great name." Lu Ran looked into the distance again, gazing at the Divine Mountain in the wasteland, murmuring, "It can also mean 'heavenly justice manifested, retribution unabated'."

Huangfu Zhao fell silent.

The Young Master spoke two consecutive sentences, simple and clear.

They were praises, and also expectations.

Especially the latter sentence, the explanation of the name was filled with meaning.

In the future chapters of his life, he hoped to live up to the Young Master's interpretation.

"Go ahead, Mr. Huangfu. Take care." Lu Ran advised.

"Your subordinate takes his leave!" Unintentionally, Huangfu Zhao changed his form of address.

"Zzz~zz~"

He secured half of the Tiger Talisman, with lightning entwining at his feet, his figure transformed into a purple light stream, rapidly departing.

Lu Ran glanced around, heading toward a Stone Peak.

He hid in the recessed wall of the Stone Peak and also immersed himself in the thick sea of mist, afterward, his figure turned invisible, flickering again into the high sky.

After a few flickers, Lu Ran approached the boundary where ashes and petals fell.

The ashes and dim petals both lacked perception ability, but they all had burning effects.

For Lu Ran, it was no problem at all.

Having grown till now, he was immune to all Fire, Water, Ice Frost techniques.

He could even utilize them and gain all-rounded attribute enhancements in adverse environments.

Even techniques like Wind and Thunder, as long as Lu Ran stood on the ground, they presented a different scenario.

Wind could tear him apart but not blow him away;

Electricity could wrap around him but hardly hurt him.

Somewhat reminiscent of Faceless Jade Venerable!

The difference was, Lu Ran was exempt and reduced, while Faceless Jade Venerable relied purely on terrifying defensive power and unique body texture for resistance!

The ashes and petals around the Divine Mountain clearly couldn't stop Faceless Jade Venerable.

They freely roamed within, battling the many dragons fiercely.

"Hiss..."

"Roar!!" The deafening dragon's roar made Lu Ran grin.

The Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon was enormous, almost three thousand meters in size, comparable to the Jade-faced Snake family's ultimate move·White-Scaled Immortal Heavenly Python!

Every time an Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon flew over a place, it turned the heavens and earth into fiery red.

Unlike the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon in the Mountain Realm, the blood-red Flood Dragon here bloomed with huge Flame Chrysanthemums-Ghost Fire Chrysanthemums.

The Evil Demon·Ghost Fire Chrysanthemum among them could imprison Dead Souls, evidently competing with Faceless Jade Venerable for resources.

In ancient times, there was a lucky pattern·Phoenix through flowers.

Now Lu Ran seemed to see "Dragon through flowers."

Damn, you make it look horribly beautiful...

Above the dragon's head stood a phantom figure—Lie Tian!

Shadows of hammers flew out one after another, accompanied by the large fire columns spewed from Flame Flood Dragon's mouth, frantically attacking the Faceless Jade Venerable.

"Whoa!" As he approached the battlefield, Lu Ran saw everything more clearly, and his heart grew more astonished.

Is Faceless Jade Venerable truly fierce?

Other God Demon minions needed repeated attacks on Jade Venerable to gradually shatter this group, but Lie Tian-Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon was different, they both had the ability for cross-level slaughter!

If truly hit concretely, external enemies would naturally face a shattered fate.

Yet one Faceless Jade Venerable after another played their speed advantage to the extreme!

How could they not fear?

They had already found a way to defeat the enemy!

The massive Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon became a disadvantage.

No matter where Faceless Jade Venerable broke through, as long as it landed on the Flame Flood Dragon, the dragon skin would visibly transform into jade quality.

If you don't resist, you'd wait to be polluted enough to perish.

If you resist, the polluted jasper skin will break, mass quantities of dragon blood and flesh would spill downward from the wound.

It appeared to be real flesh, but actually, these were Divine Power!

In mid-air, dragon blood and flesh would break into energy.

Before long, the frantically struggling Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon would be completely hollowed out.

It was indeed a deadlock.

Thus, with explosive output from Lie Tian-Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon and nimble swift Faceless Jade Venerable, they fought fiercely.

Lu Ran watched with delight!

Kill!

The more deaths, the better!

I love eating souls, don't I...

"Hmm?" Lu Ran slightly raised his eyebrow.

Just observing briefly, he sensed something was off.

The phantom of Lie Tian carried on the dragon's head showed no signs of ferocity?

The tall, burly man holding a giant hammer maintained a calm expression, not even uttering a Battle Roar.

No way!

The battle was this fierce, dragon blood spraying, flames raging, your hammer soon to be swung like a fiery windmill...

I am already feeling the blood boil!

You haven't uttered a single Battle Roar?

You claim to be a madman, unable to control your emotions, a combustible Explosive Barrel?

You're nonsense, you are!

Human Clan Believers act as emotional trash cans, dumping filth inside and becoming calm and unperturbed?

You! Son! Of! A! ...
