Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 182 The Styx River Devours the Demon Lotus, the Bridge Chosen by Fang Gu!

"I remember now, this is the Immortal Lotus!"

“Ancient teachings say that the bridge to the altar will only appear when the Immortal Lotus dies,” Fang Gu said nervously.

There was something else he didn't say.

Ancient teachings say that the Eternal Lotus is a rare and precious object that has disappeared. Even constructing a star palace and releasing super-level magic cannot erase the life of the Eternal Lotus.
After Zhang Xiaohou, it was Mu Ningxue's ice!

Strands of ice spread out beneath her feet, and in an instant, a chill filled the White House.

This is her frozen domain!

The chill reached directly at the Lotus of Immortality, and the thorny ice flowers froze, pierced, and crushed the Lotus of Immortality into countless petals!
Even so, the Lotus of Immortality miraculously revived in the next moment.
Looking at the image reflected in the bronze mirror, Han Ji's heart sank to the bottom.

Having finally entered the Abyss of Evil, is it really going to end here?
Before the Immortal Lotus, only Lu Ran, Fang Gu, and Mo Fan remained who had not yet tried to break the deadlock.

Mo Fan gripped the restless little mudfish pendant to his chest, frowning as he thought to himself:

"Even before we saw this demonic lotus, the little mudskipper kept jumping around. Could it be..."

Mo Fan considered whether he should give it a try. After all, no one could do anything about the Eternal Lotus, so it was just a last resort.

Just as Mo Fan was about to speak, Lu Ran spoke up:

"Let me do it!"

Lu Ran reached out his palm and used telekinesis to draw the Lotus of Immortality into his hand.

Lu Ran, holding the lotus of immortality in one hand, addressed the crowd:
"I'll try it out privately, you guys stay here and keep watch!"

After saying that, Lu Ran turned around and walked towards a dead corner of the palace.

Mo Fan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he mechanically withdrew it.

Alas, hesitation leads to defeat; I was a step behind Ran-ge.
However, Mo Fan didn't know if Ran Ge would succeed, so he could only wait and see.

After noticing the departure of the Eternal Lotus, the little mudfish became increasingly restless, as if something had been stolen from it.

Mo Fan calmed the little mudskipper down after a while.

A blind spot in the palace.

Lu Ran naturally knew that the Eternal Lotus Society was illuminated by the bronze mirror and appeared in the field of vision of Han Ji and others.

There are some secrets he doesn't want others to discover.

He controls the power of the River Styx, which devours everything in its path!
In theory, the immortal lotus can also devour.

Even if that's not possible, Mo Fan's Little Mudfish Pendant is still a backup plan.

Without hesitation, the immortal lotus in his palm was quickly covered and swallowed by several streams of deep black water.

Within the Styx space, the waters of the Styx continuously scour and pound.

The alluring immortal lotus, its luster fading with each passing bloom, its countless petals disappearing until it vanishes.

This time, the Immortal Lotus did not recover, but instead transformed into incredibly pure energy, which was then fed back to Lu Ran!
The Immortal Lotus is extraordinary; the energy it brings can be described as pure!
In the original story, the Eternal Lotus helped Mo Fan break through from the mid-level to the high-level in fire element cultivation. However, it should be noted that this was only after the Little Mudfish Pendant absorbed most of the Eternal Lotus's energy.

In such circumstances, it is equivalent to a galaxy vein.

Right now, Lu Ran is channeling this energy into the Thunder and Shadow Galaxy.

Washed and cleansed by the energy of the Eternal Lotus, this star system directly stepped into the third level of the high-level!
Lu Ran was still not satisfied, and afterwards, his spiritual power broke through to the mid-stage of the seventh realm!
This directly led to a comprehensive improvement in Lu Ran's cultivation and spiritual power. If it were a normal, step-by-step improvement, it would probably have required an unknown amount of resources! After devouring the Eternal Demon Lotus, if Lu Ran's prediction is correct, the Nine Deaths and One Life Bridge leading to the Ancient Blood Throne should appear!
In front of the palace where the Immortal Lotus was kept, Mo Fan and the others were anxiously waiting for Lu Ran's feedback.

Suddenly, the dead end in front of the palace flickered, and a brand new passage was opened up, as if leading to the void.

This scene made Fang Gu's eyes widen!
At this moment, Lu Ran also returned and said:
"Let's go. I've dealt with the Immortal Lotus. We can move on to the next location."

After saying that, he took Mu Ningxue's hand and walked forward.

Following behind Lu Ran, Fang Gu still couldn't believe it!
This... Lu Ran actually has a way to deal with the Eternal Life Demon Lotus?

According to ancient teachings, that was a demonic lotus that even super-level magic could not destroy!
Could it be that this Councilor Lu Ran possesses power even greater than that of super-level magic?
Outside, watching Lu Ran and the others leave through the newly opened passage, Han Ji stared at the bronze mirror, speechless for a long time.

"I never expected that Lu Ran would actually do it!" The Ancient Capital Prophet exclaimed in astonishment.

"Truly, the heavens have blessed this ancient capital!" Han Ji exclaimed.

The bronze mirror could only illuminate the area of ​​the Immortal Lotus, so they couldn't see the path beyond it.

"I hope they can really do it! I'm going to help Lu Huan now," Han Ji said before hurrying away.

After passing through a palace filled with thousands of lifelike and graceful jade sculptures of beautiful women, the group arrived at the edge of a dark cliff.

A deep black gale swept across both sides of the stone platform, howling and roaring, as if it could suck people into an abyss at any moment!
At the edge of the cliff, ten white, soaring arched bridges seem to span the darkness!
The bridge is magnificent and imposing, like a dragon soaring into the deeper darkness.
Upon seeing these ten bridges, Fang Gu suppressed his excitement and exclaimed in surprise:

"This...this is the Bridge of Nine Deaths and One Life!"

Lu Ran silently withdrew his scrutinizing gaze from Fang Gu.

If one didn't possess a spiritual ability to read his mind, they might truly be fooled by his superb acting skills.

At this moment, Fang Gu felt no fear whatsoever, only excitement!

Because he knew that as long as he followed the ancient teachings, he could avoid the dead end and reach the altar directly!
"A narrow escape from death?"

Those standing nearby shuddered upon hearing this!

Fang Gu continued his act, explaining with a terrified expression, "The Nine Deaths and One Life Bridge, as the name suggests, means that of these ten bridges, only one is a path to survival! The rest are all paths to death!"

Mo Fan panicked upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Damn it, Fang Gu, does your ancient teaching say that bridge is a path to survival?!"

Fang Gu shook his head regretfully.

Mu Ningxue looked at Lu Ran and asked, "What do we do next?"

Zhang Xiaohou also spoke up, "Ran-ge, you decide!"

Fang Gu's eyes lit up, and he suggested:
"It's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, only ten percent. We have to take a gamble. It's best to split up; otherwise, if we all stay together, we might just get unlucky."

Fang Gu didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

Bad luck means nothing but death!
Lu Ran listened to Fang Gu's words and a playful smile appeared on his lips, unseen by anyone:

"can."

Fang Gu was very excited to hear Lu Ran's answer, but Lu Ran's next words stunned him.

"Fang Gu, you choose first."
