"We haven't gone out yet, let's look behind us..." Lin Ran said helplessly.
Everyone quickly looked behind them and found that the dark red mist was still there. This made Chang Wei and the others feel a little disappointed, but they still held onto hope because they had successfully broken through the despairing monster tide. They were sure they could do it again.
"Don't leave my vicinity. We'll move forward slowly, and we must always be alert to any unusual movements around us..." Lin Ran instructed.
Chang Wei and the others nodded and formed a battle formation, following behind Lin Ran.
Seeing this, Lin Ran slowly crept over. As he got closer, he saw that on this wide, flat ground, there were many strangely shaped trees. On the ground, there seemed to be not only swords, spears, and halberds, but also white bones dressed in armor.
"It seems a fierce battle took place here..." Lin Ran thought to herself.
Even if he tries his best to avoid stepping on the bones, someone will always get hit.
The young man next to Chang Wei accidentally stepped on and broke a bone. The crisp sound of breaking was instantly amplified in the quiet place.
It was like a switch that activated the entire place. The altar immediately lit up with a dark red light, and a torrent of dark red mud suddenly surged out from the altar, rushing down the blue stone steps. In the blink of an eye, the steps turned into a dark red waterfall.
The dark red mud instantly covered most of the square.
"It's the Void Evil Clan!"
Lin Ran's pupils suddenly contracted. He knew that all secret realms were related to this, because a major characteristic of the Void Evil Clan was to occupy various spaces and draw energy from them to strengthen themselves, until the very source of the space was completely absorbed, and the entire space was turned into a desolate and lifeless wasteland, before moving on to the next one.
Chang Wei and the others recognized that it was a Void Evil Clan, but they had never seen a Void Evil Clan with such a display. What level of Void Evil Clan must this be!
The chubby boy next to Chang Wei was trembling, his legs shaking as he stammered, "The Void... the Void Evil Clan... we're doomed... we have absolutely no means to deal with the Void Evil Clan... we're going to die..."
They wouldn't be afraid of ordinary demonic beasts, but the Void Evil Clan is something to be aware of. Every year, the Sword Sect not only loses many people but also spends a lot of money dealing with the Void Evil Clan.
One major reason is the lack of means to deal with the Void Evil Clan. There are only a few inherited methods, which are difficult to cultivate and can only be cultivated by the direct descendants of the Sword Sect. Therefore, they can only purchase magical artifacts from the Divine Artifact Sect that are specifically used to deal with the Void Evil Clan.
However, those guys from the Divine Artifact Sect are only half-baked. Those magical artifacts used to deal with the Void Evil Clan are quite expensive, but they break down after only a few uses. They are even less useful against powerful Void Evil Clan members, but you still have to buy them.
Even though the major super sects joined forces to put pressure on the Divine Artifact Sect, those guys couldn't come up with any useful magical artifacts. However, the price dropped considerably, and there were also free quotas and financial aid, which made things a little better for all parties.
But all of this illustrates one point: even the eight super sects of the Nine Provinces Continent currently lack the means to deal with the Void Evil Clan, let alone Chang Wei and his group, who are only considered slightly higher-level disciples in the Sword Sect.
Lin Ran's face was grim, and his brows furrowed. He could sense that this Void Evil Clan member would not be as easy to deal with as before. Previously, due to various reasons, coupled with the special nature of Lin Ran's cultivation technique, he was easier to deal with.
But the oppressive atmosphere at the start of this game made Lin Ran feel threatened.
The dark red mud gradually stopped flowing out of the altar, but the changes did not stop. The dark red mud that covered most of the square suddenly splashed out in a mud column and gathered in mid-air. Soon, a huge dark red mud sphere condensed in mid-air.
When the sphere expanded to a certain extent, it suddenly exploded, and a humanoid dark red creature appeared in the air. When the figure opened its eyes, those eyes were completely black, with only a tiny dark red dot of light inside.
Its robust body had extremely exaggerated and huge muscles. Beneath its dark red skin, the veins bulged like dragons. The two- or three-meter-tall figure emerged from the dark red sphere of light and crashed heavily to the ground, raising a splash of water.
Looking at everything in front of her, Lin Ran didn't even dare to breathe too much. Just then, Shangguan Mengqing's voice slowly came over, and after listening to its contents...
Lin Ran gave a bitter smile and replied helplessly, "Meng Qing, things have changed. It's... the Void Evil Clan..."
.......
Chapter 140 So this is the Mirror Moon Saint Emperor's Secret Realm?
"The Void Evil Clan!"
Upon hearing this familiar yet loathsome word, Shangguan Mengqing suddenly stood up agitated.
This immediately attracted the attention of the others in the cave. Shangguan Mengqing replied, "It's alright, you can continue your cultivation!"
After speaking, Shangguan Mengqing sat down again.
Wen Qianyi, however, sensed something was amiss. She stopped refining the medicine, sat down next to Shangguan Mengqing, and asked worriedly, "Mengqing, why haven't the seniors returned yet? It's been too long!"
"Lin Ran said they encountered some minor trouble, but they should be back soon..." Shangguan Mengqing didn't reveal the truth. If she mentioned the Void Evil Clan, everyone in the cave would hear it, which might cause panic.
Although Wen Qianyi was very curious about why Shangguan Mengqing was able to talk to Lin Ran while sitting right there, and whether the two of them had some kind of trick up their sleeves, she didn't like to pry. After resting for a while, she continued to devote herself to refining medicine, trying to refine as much as possible so that she could help her senior later.
Shangguan Mengqing was actually quite afraid that Wen Qianyi would continue to ask about Lin Ran's situation, but she didn't expect that Wen Qianyi would ask a question and then go back to continue refining medicine, which saved Shangguan Mengqing the trouble of lying.
She really wanted to help Lin Ran, but Lin Ran was facing the Void Evil Clan, and she didn't have any particularly good ways to deal with them.
Currently, her cultivation of the Tranquility Sutra is not yet complete, and her damaged mental state prevents her from going all out. Most importantly, she is not with Lin Ran at this moment. The methods she has to deal with the Void Evil Clan all depend on her presence.
"Lin Ran, I hope you have mastered the method within the Azure Emperor's inheritance to deal with the Void Evil Clan, otherwise I will..." Shangguan Mengqing's eyes peered through the gaps in the vines, seemingly already fixed on Lin Ran's side...
……
At the ancient altar, where dark red mud covered the ground and a light drizzle fell from the sky, a Void Evil Clan monster, born from the dark red mud, landed in the mud and stared at Lin Ran, seemingly observing her.
Lin Ran was also able to observe the monster more closely. It was no different from a human in appearance, with dark red skin, a huge and sturdy torso and limbs, a height of nearly three meters, and bulging veins like dragons throbbing under its skin.
But one thing he didn't notice at first was that this guy seemed to have a long tail that glowed with a dark red light, which was swaying casually behind him.
Since the other party didn't make a move, Lin Ran didn't dare to act rashly, fearing she might fall into some kind of trap.
This eerie atmosphere lasted for a moment, and then the monster from the Void Clan actually grew a mouth and started babbling in a language that Lin Ran and the others couldn't understand.
Lin Ran, being from a culturally isolated place, naturally looked at Chang Wei and the others behind her and asked in a low voice, "What is this guy saying?"
When Chang Wei and the others saw that Lin Ran was actually asking them questions, they assumed that Lin Ran knew the answers. How could they possibly know what she was talking about? They didn't know anything either. They had failed the exams on the essential knowledge points for the Sword Sect, and now she was asking them questions.
When Lin Ran saw the same clear and foolish eyes in Chang Wei and the others, she immediately understood. They were thinking of cheating on the exam, but it turns out they were all academic underachievers waiting to copy her answers.
Since he didn't know what the guy was talking about, Lin Ran had a way to respond. He gathered spiritual power in his right hand and unexpectedly unleashed a golden dragon head, letting out a loud dragon roar as it charged towards the monster.
Suddenly, the dark red light in the eyes of this evil creature lit up, and its hands actually manipulated the dark red mud on the field, condensing it into a protective wall.
When Lin Ran's attack entered the mud, it made a sizzling sound and a large number of golden light spots were splashed out. However, the dragon head still broke through the protective wall in the end, but it was already very dim. The monster flicked it lightly with its finger and the dragon head disappeared instantly.
This startled Lin Ran. The Void Evil Clan member in front of her already possessed the same imposing aura as Ganado back then, and perhaps even stronger.
Because Ganado was in his weakest state at the time, and with Dongfang Yue's help, he was much easier to deal with.
Now, he doesn't know much about their attack methods, and he also has to spare some attention to protect Chang Wei and the others, which makes things much more difficult.
"You don't need to worry about me. Just take care of yourselves. I might not be able to protect you well..." Lin Ran transmitted her voice through spiritual power.
Chang Wei and the others wanted to say something, but the evil creature had already disappeared from its original spot. It reappeared on Lin Ran's left side, delivering a fierce whip kick to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran had already sensed it, and her left hand instantly unleashed a golden dragon head fist imprint, accompanied by a whistling wind, which blasted towards the evil race.
Because the distance was extremely close, and Lin Ran's attack was instantaneous, the evil creature could only take the entire attack. Its body transformed into a cannonball, leaving a long trench in the ground, and crashed into half of a stone pillar before slowly coming to a stop.
Lin Ran didn't rush forward rashly. She looked at the evil creature from afar, feeling that this guy wasn't so easy to deal with.
The evil creature crawled up from the ground. Its exaggeratedly sturdy body was covered with many wounds that could not heal, and dark red mist was constantly emanating from it. Its chest was slightly sunken.
A faint golden light could be seen in the wounds, which seemed to be due to Lin Ran's spiritual power, preventing the wounds from healing.
The monster looked down at its own body, and a strange smile appeared on its lips, making Lin Ran and the others' hair stand on end.
The next moment, the dark red mud on the muddy ground behind the monster turned into a mud pillar and poured into the monster's body. The golden light in the wounds on its body was dispersed by the dark red energy. The monster was bathed in the mud, and its body was rapidly recovering.
Those dark red eyes looked at Lin Ran and then burst into laughter. This time, the monster's voice rang in Lin Ran's mind, mocking her wantonly: "I didn't expect that the successor of the Azure Emperor would be of such a level. It seems that today I, Jemodo, can use the successor of the Azure Emperor to whet my appetite."
Lin Ran's expression turned serious. He felt that the name Jemodoro sounded familiar!
He sneered, "With this kind of strength, killing a monster like you would be more than enough, wouldn't it?"
"Then give it a try!"
With a maniacal laugh, Jemodo charged at Lin Ran once more. His eyes blazed red as he looked at Lin Ran, and his mouth suddenly opened wide, reaching the size of several basketballs. A dark red beam of light, carrying an aura of destruction and decay, shot out.
Lin Ran also sensed a threat from the beam of light, and it was malicious, as it was aimed at Chang Wei and his group.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Ran roared angrily.
Just as Chang Wei and the others were about to leave, their legs were suddenly bound tightly by dark red tentacles, and dark red mist continued to corrode their bodies.
"Damn it, what a disgusting piece of trash!"
Lin Ran cursed under her breath, not expecting that Jemodo would resort to such underhanded tactics. She quickly drew her Autumn Rain Sword and unleashed several golden sword energies, severing all the tentacles beneath Chang Wei and the others' feet.
Immediately afterward, Lin Ran twisted her body in mid-air, the Autumn Rain Sword in her hand emitting a series of sword cries, and Lin Ran softly shouted: "Moonlit Waterfall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yu Sword swept out fiercely, and a waterfall of golden sword energy appeared in front of the dark red energy ray. When the two came into contact, the golden and dark red light spots intertwined and fought fiercely for the kill.
"Under the flowers and the moon!"
Lin Ran transformed into a series of afterimages, arriving at Gemodo's right side. With nimble wrist movements, she swiftly unleashed dozens of crescent-shaped sword energies towards Gemodo, these crisscrossing sword energies blocking all of Gemodo's escape routes.
The sharp, swift sword energy easily sliced through Gemodo's left arm, while the dense, crescent-shaped sword energy shredded Gemodo into pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground.
Lin Ran looked at the pile of shredded flesh on the ground with some astonishment. Had he really defeated this guy just like that?
But just as Lin Ran was thinking that things were over, unexpectedly, the large patch of dark red mud once again gushed out a column of dark red mud and poured into the pile of broken flesh. After a while, Jemodo once again walked out of the dark red mud ball unharmed.
Lin Ran: "..."
Is there even a need to fight? You might as well just keep regenerating, are you immortal?
Seeing Lin Ran's astonished expression, Jemodo thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't help but laugh wildly: "Hahaha, back then, even Jingyue could only seal me away. How could you, a nobody, possibly defeat me? I'll stand here and let you hit me, and you still can't kill me!"
"Jingyue?"
Lin Ran was taken aback. The one who could be called Mirror Moon was none other than the Mirror Moon Saint Emperor. This was actually the Mirror Moon Saint Emperor's secret realm. Wasn't that guy Jiemodo the evil race that his son Lin Chong had spent a lot of effort to kill? This was one of the most difficult evil races to deal with in the Mirror Moon Saint Emperor's secret realm.
"Damn it, how did I run into the hardest one?" Lin Ran felt a bit bitter. And why did the Mirror Moon Saint Emperor's secret realm open so early? Wasn't this dungeon supposed to open much later? At first, he thought it was some other Great Emperor's secret realm that hadn't appeared in the original work.
Unexpectedly, it was the secret realm of the Mirror Moon Holy Emperor. This secret realm can be said to be one of the secret realms that has sealed the most evil races. He still remembered that one of the tests given by the Mirror Moon Holy Land in the original work was to annihilate all the evil races in this secret realm.
If this is the secret realm of the Mirror Moon Saint Emperor, then everything makes sense. Why is this secret realm of such a high level? His son must have been at least at the Nirvana Realm level to enter this secret realm. Now, it seems that it was his father who was dealing with this troublesome guy, Jemodo.
But if it's the Mirror Moon Holy Emperor's Secret Realm, then his notebook should contain records of how to deal with Jemodo.
.......
Chapter 141 Solution
Lin Ran definitely didn't remember the miscellaneous contents of the notebook. It was written a long time ago, and she could only recall some of it by relying on two key pieces of information: Jemodo's indestructible nature and the fact that he took the initiative to say that he was sealed by Jingyue.
"But how am I supposed to look at these notes now?" Lin Ran wondered to herself.
Now the goal is clear: the notebook contains a way to deal with Gemodo. He needs time to search through the notebook's contents, but how to buy that time is the key.
It's impossible to send Chang Wei and the others to deal with Jemodo; that would be sending those guys to their deaths. It wouldn't be called stalling for time; it would be more like sending them to their deaths. However, we could take advantage of Jemodo's underestimation of us...
"Jemod, I bet you don't dare stand here and let me beat you for ages without moving..." Lin Ran looked at the smug Jemod and transmitted his voice through his soul: "Because you're scared, scared of being killed by me, the successor of the Azure Emperor. With your level, you'd probably be killed in one move if you met the Azure Emperor back then, hahaha!"
Seeing Lin Ran's mockery, Jemod's dark red body, especially his chest, heaved violently, as if he was holding his breath. Jemod roared arrogantly, "Foolish boy, today I'll show you my strength! I'll let you hit me like this. If you can kill me, then I'm out of luck!"
After saying that, Jemodo really didn't make any defense. He just stood there, with a crooked mouth and a look of disdain on his face, clearly looking down on Lin Ran and not believing that Lin Ran and a few ants could wipe him out.
