Chapter 581 - Who is the Real Evil God! (Part 2)

Facing Ji Yuan, who stood up again, Lu Ran curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said, “Still planning to crusade against the cult? Your heart is still filled with unwillingness. In that case, come at me again.”

Before Lu Ran even finished speaking, Ji Yuan indeed erupted with even greater power, preparing to attack Lu Ran. But before he could raise his spear high, his body was split in two again.

Captain Doofus stood to the side, tilting his head slightly, and holding the great sword in its mouth. It was dissatisfied with this human ignoring it.

The next instant, Ji Yuan’s Beast God Armament healed at an even faster rate. He surged forward again, but, before he could deal any effective damage, he was once again cleaved in two by Captain Doofus.

Captain Doofus, who was an Intermediate Legendary in its normal state, wielded four Legendary sword kin and mastered the Sword attribute with the strongest killing power. For Ji Yuan, who hadn’t yet reached his peak, this was an extremely terrifying boss.

Ji Yuan stood up again and again, only to be defeated again and again. At this point, not only did the allied forces of the six major sects feel fear, but even the Undead Cult began to deeply fear Lu Ran’s power.

Originally, it was unknown how long this Legendary mission would last. However, a sudden change finally interrupted the rhythm of this slaughter.

“

Oh?

”

Lu Ran released his grip on the Valley Master of Hundred Butterfly Valley, and she weakly fell to the ground. Simultaneously, Lu Ran’s gaze turned toward the sky, which resembled a black sea of clouds.

The moment the sky changed, countless people broke free from the fear Lu Ran had instilled, only to fall into another terror.

“E-Evil... Evil...”

A figure slowly emerged and took shape within the black sea of clouds, like a perfect combination of the deep sea and a nightmare. It resembled a massive monster yet vaguely had a human outline. This contradictory combination sent chills down everyone’s spines.

In the sky, the bloated, obese body seemed like a moving island, leaving huge ripples in the sea of clouds. With every bit it revealed, those who gazed upon it nearly went insane. Its huge, ink-green body was particularly eye-catching in the dark sea of clouds. It was a suffocating green, as if it could devour all life.

At this moment, people finally realized something.

“It’s the Evil God overlord!”

As the Lust Evil God was one of the Seven Deadly Sin kin of the Evil God overlord, its death would not go unnoticed by this terrifying existence. Even if its presence was restrained by multiple powerful Legendaries, at this moment, nothing could prevent the Evil God from projecting a clone to see who had killed its kin.

Its appearance undoubtedly brought indescribable waves of fear to everything around. This fear didn’t just come from its appearance and power but also from the profound, dark aura it emitted. Its very existence was a curse, making all living beings feel fear and despair.

Then, people saw dark green curses, like lightning, erupt around Ji Yuan and Lu Ran. Clearly, the projected Evil God overlord had locked onto the murderer who killed the Lust Evil God. Under this death-like curse, Ji Yuan’s life force was completely drained in an instant, following the same path as history, dying by the Evil God’s hand.

Of course, such a curse was largely ineffective against Lu Ran. Thanks to the imperial luck bonus from the imperial seal, he was immune to all evil. The curse couldn’t deal effective damage to him.

After all, the current Beastmaster Empire had more than one Superior Legendary. Although the Evil God was the closest to reaching Primary Divine among the Superior Legendaries, relying solely on a curse to kill Lu Ran was just impossible.

Lu Ran, bathed in the Evil God’s curse, felt complex. He was glad the Evil God had appeared proactively, but glancing at Ji Yuan, whose life energy had been drained by the curse, Lu Ran felt a headache.

The mission wasn’t fucking completed yet!

“Captain Doofus, take it out. This isn’t the Evil God’s true form.”

Even without Lu Ran’s order, Captain Doofus was already eager. The Limitless Sword Domain instantly expanded to its limits. Using the power of the Nine-Colored Stone Sword, the mountains, rivers, lakes, plants, trees, wind, and frost within the domain all turned into swords in Captain Doofus’ eyes.

And Captain Doofus itself, covered in an energy phantom, took the shape of a giant three-headed, six-armed wolfman titan. Holding the swordgrass, sword spirit, and the lightsaber, he charged at the Evil God’s clone.

The Evil God’s clone fully manifested. Its terrifying eyes stared at Lu Ran and Captain Doofus, who was erupting with terrifying power. The Evil God overlord had a head like an octopus with many tentacles, a body covered in scales, giant claws, and a pair of narrow wings behind its back. It was extremely bizarre.

“Who are you?” The Evil God asked slowly, sensing extremely complex power from Lu Ran.

There were fluctuations from life kin, death kin, and even the human luck blessing that only successive emperors of the Beastmaster Empire possessed, which greatly reduced the effect of its curse.

Hasn't the human Beastmaster Empire already been destroyed?

“The one who will kill you. Right now, however, you're just a clone. Next time, be sure to come with your actual body.” Lu Ran licked his lips.

The next instant, the Evil God’s clone in the sky was torn apart, turning into terrifying Evil God curse power, once again terrifying the stunned people below.

These Evil God curse powers tried to entangle Captain Doofus, but before they could exert any force, they were sucked into a mass of black fog as if being devoured.

This mass of black fog was connected to Lu Ran’s soul amplification. Within the fog emerged a crow also filled with Evil God power, making everyone show expressions of disbelief. Another Legendary Evil God kin?

No, not quite. This Legendary Evil God seemed to be being enhanced by Lu Ran’s beastmaster skill!

“Thanks for the meal.”

As it spoke, the curse power that had formed the Evil God’s clone was instantly absorbed by this Evil God crow’s body. As the dark golden runes on the crow’s body flashed, the curse power on the crow grew rapidly, forming a nearly tall Evil God crow curse phantom.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“I-It destroyed the Evil God’s clone so easily.”

“That person, besides being a necromancer, also keeps a Legendary Evil God as a familiar!”

This was even more terrifying than Lu Ran being a necromancer, filling people with horror.

“And the Evil God he keeps devoured the Evil God overlord’s power. What on earth is he?”

“Ji... How is Mythical Ji Yuan?”

The Evil God’s clone’s descent was unforeseen by everyone. Of course, the biggest and most terrifying variable was that madman, who actually had his familiar eat the Evil God’s clone. Instantly, both members of the Undead Cult and the major sects began to worry, fearing the Evil God overlord would take its anger out on humanity.

So far, due to restraints from the Space Demon God, Chaos Dragon God, and various other legendaries, the Evil God’s faction expansion had been slow. It almost only sent kin below Legendary to battle, never personally targeting a specific species.

But now, Lu Ran had not only killed the Lust Evil God but also destroyed the Evil God overlord’s clone. The humans present began to deeply fear that an even more terrible war was brewing.

“Dark Crow, resurrect him. He hasn’t admitted defeat to me willingly yet.”

Ji Yuan was dead. Those familiar with him had red eyes now, but when facing the Evil God’s clones earlier, they hadn’t even had the courage to act.

Besides Ji Yuan’s life force being drained by the curse, the familiars that had merged with him, turned into weapons and armor, didn’t even have a chance to return to their original forms before having their lives taken by the curse power. They forever remained in their current state.

A generation’s Mythical beastmaster, whether facing Lu Ran or the Evil God, had been completely wrecked. However, people never expected that, after repelling the Evil God, Lu Ran would give the order to resurrect Ji Yuan.

“As you wish, my king.”

In the sky, Dark Crow, having taken the Evil God’s place, looked at Ji Yuan, who had been cursed to death, and began using its Spiritual Speech power to deconstruct and impact the Evil God overlord’s curse.

“Resurrect, Mythical beastmaster! Resurrect! Resurrect! Resurrect!”

It shouted madly, its voice forming words of power in the sky that merged into Ji Yuan and the others’ bodies.

The Beastmaster Lodge group, who had already despaired, and Ji Yuan’s close confidante felt their hearts regain vitality after seeing Lu Ran try to resurrect Ji Juan.

Their bodies and minds filled with hope, and their expressions constantly changed. Even the Valley Master of Hundred Butterfly Valley, whom Lu Ran had choked for a long time, was deeply moved.

“Resurrection... Could it be that he’s not a bad person after all?”

“Right, if he were purely evil, why would he kill the Lust Evil God and destroy the Evil God's clone?”

“Yes. Even though he’s on the side of the Undead Cult, he still considers himself human, putting human interests first!”

However, Dark Crow spoke again. “My king, I can resurrect him, but it seems there’s a slight problem.”

[Talent: Prophecy Realization (Spoken words have an extremely high probability of coming true in the future in an unbelievable manner.)]

When enhancing its Spiritual Speech power with time curse power, Dark Crow often encountered strange and bizarre things.

People saw Ji Yuan, lying on the ground, begin to regain vitality. However, his body underwent some changes at this moment. His muscles became soft and delicate. His skin also became smoother and more delicate, as if meticulously polished.

And his originally short, stubbly hair now grew into smooth, long hair, cascading over his shoulders like a black waterfall. His eyebrows also became longer and more curved, giving a gentle and charming feeling.

What shocked him most was that his chest began to swell, as if a mysterious force was sculpting his body. As Ji Yuan woke up in panic, he clutched his chest, but the force was irresistible. His figure gradually became petite and delicate, with elegant curves.

Ji Yuan was resurrected, but he had become a female. Everyone’s faces froze as if petrified.

Lu Ran took a deep breath.

Since this is an ascension realm, I won’t bother with these details.

He threw another fireball. He didn't care about Ji Yuan's sex as long as the Legendary mission could be completed.
