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

Chapter 184 The New King of Sha Yuan, Imperial Battle Power!
During their conversation, Lu Ran had already arrived in front of the Blood Throne.

He didn't do anything out of line.

His eyes simply gazed silently down at the black armor on the Blood Throne.

It was as if a true sovereign of all living beings was looking down upon the clumsy imitators.

"Insolence! What are you speculating about?!" A roar came from within the black armor!

Lu Ran's previous words had clearly angered it.

Lu Ran's current act of looking down at her only fueled the fury of the armored warrior.

"You brat, do you know what being you have angered by your offense?! Do you know the consequences?!" The armored man's voice turned sharp, transmitted through telepathy, and was extremely aggressive.

If Lu Ran's mental strength hadn't reached the seventh level of the Great Realm, he might have been tricked by it if he hadn't been careful.

But at this moment, Lu Ran was able to deal with it calmly and casually.

"as a result of?"

"I am merely stating the facts; the true ancient kings have long since fallen into the dust of history."

"And you, who made the sound, are nothing more than a trace of his obsession, and an evil thought born from the fusion of the remnants of many losers!"

"A mere trace of evil spirit dares to presume to call itself an emperor?!"

Lu Ran's voice was cold and resolute.

Without giving the armored figure a chance to retaliate, Lu Ran continued to inflict further damage on its wounds:

"You don't even have the ability to move, and you've been in this dark and sunless throne and altar for over two thousand years. You dare to claim to be my successor by devouring the souls of your descendants and possessing their bodies to be reborn?"

"Ignorant brat, you're courting death!!" The armored figure's sinister voice erupted once more, this time roaring:

You will regret your arrogance!

The black armor on the Blood Throne shattered with a crack, turning into countless pieces: the crown, arm guards, and robe.
Lu Ran's expression remained unchanged.

The next moment, the disintegrating black armor flew towards Lu Ran, and these countless pieces of body wanted to cover Lu Ran's body!
Lu Ran smiled:

"Is this your counterattack?"

He had expected the evil spirit to possess some earth-shattering power or extraordinary abilities, but to his surprise, the armored figure merely wanted to forcibly merge with him and devour him in the process.

It seems that the previous mockery was absolutely accurate.

"If this is all the tricks you have, then you might as well die!"

Even before Lu Ran could retaliate, the armor robe suffered a powerful backlash!
Lu Ran was surrounded and protected by a deep black current of water, which was none other than the River Styx!
When the armored robe tried to forcefully merge with Lu Ran and touch him, it was directly and severely injured by the protective Styx River!

"Ah! Water, ah!! What kind of power is this?! Is this the power of the underworld?! No, impossible!!"

The armor fell off and crashed to the ground, causing the evil spirit within to let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Lu Ran remained silent and pressed his advantage.

Lu Ran raised his palm and used his mental control to hold countless fragments of the armor in the air. The power of the Styx River swept up, encompassing the entire armor and devouring the evil soul within it!
The armored figure, sensing the danger of death and annihilation, finally realized something.

"No, no, I was wrong, you can't kill me!!" The screams and cries of the armored warrior echoed across the sky.

Although the Armored Evil Soul is special, it can grant the 'body' emperor-level power.

However, before it devoured the body, it was merely a stronger soul.

That's why Lu Ran wasn't scared at all.

The armor, now free from the protection of the evil spirit, is now in Lu Ran's hands!
This time, Lu Ran put the armor on.

Suddenly, from within the armor, came the desperate roar of an evil spirit:
"I will make you pay with your life!!"

Lu Ran sneered, "You're quite stubborn, but unfortunately you can't do it!" Before he finished speaking, the Styx River water around Lu Ran began to flow again, washing over his armor and devouring the evil souls within!

The screams of the armored warrior abruptly ceased as time passed.

The Styx River completely annihilated and devoured the evil spirit within the armor. As the Styx River withdrew, countless plumes of black smoke immediately emerged from the armor.

"No! How could this be?"

The last wisp of the evil spirit flickered in and out of existence until it vanished.

Lu Ran, now clad in armor, exuded an imposing aura without anger, emanating a chilling pressure from his entire body!

The waters of the Styx had already fused with the armor when it annihilated the evil spirit within it!

At this moment, the armor was truly taken by Lu Ran.

The armor was refined, and the entire Sha Yuan was shaken!
The wind howled, and the Abyss trembled!
In the ancient capital outside the Abyss of Fiends, the eight fallen kings who were fighting against human super-level mages were the first to sense the danger!

"This is the aura of the King! The King has awakened?!" A look of horror appeared on the face of the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds.

Could it be that.
She thought of that human, Lu Ran!
After refining the armor, a pure memory appeared in Lu Ran's mind.

It concerns the control of the Abyss of Evil, and the vast resources and memories of the treasures preserved within it!

Every treasure that can be contained in the Abyss of Evil is of extraordinary value; if taken out of the outside world, it would be an astonishing and extraordinary treasure!

For example, the wind-elemental celestial seed hidden at the bottom of the abyss, torn apart by howling black gales!

Now that he has integrated the armor robe, Lu Ran can be considered to possess emperor-level combat power!

Although it cannot be maintained indefinitely, the very fact that he holds the title of emperor who controls the Abyss of Evil and the Undead Empire is enough to reverse the current situation in the ancient capital!

Clad in armor, Lu Ran's spiritual power spread like an abyss, instantly locking onto the eight fallen monarchs who were waging war abroad!

At this moment, the Nine Netherworld Queen knelt gracefully before the Blood King's Throne.

"king!"

The Nine Netherworld Queen's voice carried a hint of submissiveness and allure.

Lu Ran's will fell upon Jiu Youhou and conveyed his first decree as the new king!
"Pass on my order: all undead, withdraw your troops!"

"Follow your orders~"

The Nine Netherworld Queen responded respectfully, and the ghostly figure became illusory, disappearing into the tomb palace.

Lu Ran then turned his gaze to Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou below the altar.

A vortex appeared around the three of them, engulfing and sucking them in, sending them out of the Abyss of Evil.

The armor he was wearing was removed, and Lu Ran returned to his original state.

Without the River Styx, even with his current cultivation level and spiritual power reaching a high realm, he would be unable to withstand the power of the Abyss of Fiends. He would likely be directly assimilated by the armor and unable to recover.

But the armor he wore, which held power over the River Styx, was merely a prop for him.

A royal-grade item that can be used temporarily.
The battlefield outside the Abyss of Evil.

The spirits of all the dead rulers, countless monarchs, commanders, generals, and servants vanished like the tide.

Upon hearing the emperor's command, all the undead ceased their fighting. Even when human mages bombarded the undead army with magic, few of them lingered.

No undead dares disobey the emperor's command!
The sight of millions of undead fleeing and retreating in a frenzy left Han Ji and the other high-level mages dumbfounded.

"What...what happened?!"
