356: Chapter 356 So you can only call people? This Holy Son can summon immortals and gods!

Lin Ran's eyes sharpened as the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda appeared before him, clashing violently with the Blood-colored Long Blade.

"Clang—"

The heavy sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the Source Altar, vibrating with enough force to make eardrums ache.

"nine spirits desolate saint pagoda, open!"

Lin Ran roared internally, opening the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda and sucking Empress Yan Xin, Yu Chanjuan, and Bai Luo inside.

"The three of you wait here for now. The nine spirits desolate saint pagoda is indestructible; you don't need to worry about your safety."

"Once I've killed them all, I'll let you out!"

Lin Ran immediately sent a divine sense transmission to the three of them, instructing them.

"Husband, you must be careful!"

Yu Chanjuan's worried words rang out within Lin Ran's Sea of Consciousness.

Now that they were hiding inside the nine spirits desolate saint pagoda, they had no way of knowing the situation outside. Though they were anxious, they could only wait patiently.

"Cang Huan, you should leave first. This is no longer a place where you can stay!"

Lin Ran said coldly without looking back.

Cang Huan gritted his teeth, turned around, and flew off into the distance.

"Lin Ran, you'd better not die! The grudges and debts between us haven't been fully settled yet!!"

He spoke with a sense of unwillingness.

He really didn't want to leave Lin Ran's side, but he also knew that if he stayed, he would only be a burden and hold Lin Ran back.

Therefore, he absolutely could not stay here!!

After settling everyone, Lin Ran felt a sense of relief. Holding the immortal suppressing demon sword in his right hand, he slashed forward fiercely, erupting with a peerless light!

"Begone!"

This sword strike sent the Blood-colored Long Blade flying. A dark blue giant hand reached out from the black clouds and gripped the sword tightly.

“Hehe, you actually have some skill! I didn't expect someone with only a Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven cultivation to be able to block us brothers for so long!”

“Next, I'll let you witness what the Bizarre Dao Heavenly Feast truly is!!”

A Bizarre God with iron-blue skin and two exposed fangs, looking terrifyingly hideous, forcefully broke through the black clouds and revealed his true form.

“Heavenly Bizarre Sun Devourer!!”

The Blood-Slaying Weird God swung his Blood-colored Long Blade. The surging Strange Way Source was as overwhelming as dark clouds gradually encroaching upon the bright sun.

“Hmph! You like calling for help? This Holy Son will show you what real calling for help looks like!”

Lin Ran summoned the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder. While his Physical Body received the ladder's protection, his Divine Soul began to climb it.

Damn it!

Since this Nangong Wentian was playing dirty and had even called out experts at the Heavenly Palace Realm, there was no longer any need for him to hold back.

He wanted to see if these two Bizarre Gods called by Nangong Wentian were more powerful, or if the Immortals and Gods within the palace were superior!

“The dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder?!”

Nangong Wentian's expression turned ugly as he watched this scene.

The dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder allowed one to communicate with Immortals and Gods and temporarily gain their power; it was even more formidable than the weird cloud mirror.

If Lin Ran truly managed to briefly obtain the power of an Immortal or God, the outcome would be dangerous!

“That is the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder, a supreme treasure! Once he ascends it, he can obtain the power of Immortals and Gods. Do not let him go up!!”

Nangong Wentian hurriedly warned.

To his surprise, after hearing his warning, the two Bizarre Gods who had emerged from the weird cloud mirror showed no reaction at all, their lips merely curling into cold sneers.

“Immortals and Gods? Ha! When the two of us were at our peak, we killed many of those celestial beings!”

“The bizarre dao is the number one Great Dao in the world!”

“The Bizarre is born from human hearts, from heaven and earth, and from all things!”

“The Bizarre does not die, does not cease, and is not destroyed!”

“Any Immortal or God is but a mere ant or an illusion before the bizarre dao!”

The Yin-Yang Weird God held the yin-yang mace with a look of indifference, having no intention of making a move yet.

He wanted to see exactly what kind of Immortal or God this weak Lin Ran could summon!

“Hehe! What are you afraid of? Do you really think this brat can summon any powerful Immortals or Gods?”

“With his strength, summoning the Four Heavenly Kings by himself is likely his limit. How could he possibly reach the beings above them?”

The Blood-Slaying Weird God snorted with disdain.

Nangong Wentian's eyes darkened, but he knew his words carried little weight and it was best not to say anything more.

Although he was the master of the weird cloud mirror, he was not the master of these two Bizarre Gods.

In other words, these two Bizarre Gods were merely temporary residents within the weird cloud mirror and were not one with the artifact itself.

They were only coming out to deal with Lin Ran for the sake of him being the mirror's master.

Helping him deal with Lin Ran was already an act of extreme benevolence; how could they possibly follow his orders?

“Buzz!”

Lin Ran's Divine Soul reached the top of the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder and stepped into that palace. A ray of white light suddenly descended as he entered, landing upon his Physical Body.

Meanwhile, his Divine Soul uncontrollably returned to his Sea of Consciousness.

“What's going on? Did the Immortal Palace reject me?!”

“Wait! Why can't I control my own body?!”

In the Sea of Consciousness, the face of Lin Ran's Divine Soul was filled with confusion.

The moment his Divine Soul stepped into the Immortal Palace, it was pushed back by an irresistible force and forced back into his body.

Now, even though his soul had returned, he could not control his body.

Could it be that there was something 'unclean' in the Immortal Palace just waiting to take over his body through Possession?!

“Destined One, your train of thought is truly peculiar. Those sitting in the Immortal Palace are high and mighty Immortals and Gods; where would anything 'unclean' come from?”

“On the other hand, inside this sword in your hand, there really is something 'unclean' hidden.”

“Lin Ran” picked up the immortal suppressing demon sword and examined it with great interest.

Inside the immortal suppressing demon sword, Gu Qinglian was shivering in a corner. She felt as if a pair of ancient and supreme immortal eyes were staring at her, as if seeing through her everything; the supreme mystery also brought with it a threat of death.

However, “Lin Ran” did not do anything to her. He merely glanced at her and then looked away, as if he were just interested, but that was all; there was not the slightest intent to harm her.

“Unclean? That is my sword spirit.”

Lin Ran's Divine Soul couldn't help but roll its eyes.

“You should be that person from last time, right?”

The voice sounded very familiar, and he naturally associated it with the person who had invited him to drink with an immortal last time.

“Indeed. This Immortal also did not expect that we would meet again so soon.”

“However, this might be the last time this Immortal appears before you in this manner.”

“Before you achieve Immortal Ascension and join the ranks of the immortals, this Immortal likely won't see you again. The path ahead will depend on you.”

“Destined One, next, I shall teach you a sword technique—a technique that makes even Immortals and Gods tremble with fear. Watch closely, for this Deity will only teach you once!”

A devilish smile curled at the corners of “Lin Ran's” mouth.
