Chapter 562 - The Divine Dragons Appear (Part 1)
Baby Cloud was still a little dazed after its evolution, but its ears perked up when it overheard Dark Crow. Out of all of Lu Ran’s familiars, it was the first one to feel groggy after evolving. It was a clear side effect of consuming too many Legendary resources. Even the Taotie itself would be exhausted after eating nine Elemental Gods in one sitting.
When it finally came to, Baby Cloud felt a tremendous power within itself. It was confident enough to take down a Sudden Death King with a single attack. It was just a little disappointed that it didn’t reach Intermediate Legendary in one go.
“This was only the first batch,” Lu Ran assured it. “We just needed to bring your nine attributes up to the Legendary rank first. Nine seems like a lot, but they were matched to your attributes. You’ll need to consume more elemental cores of the suitable attributes if you want to go even further.”
Having nine Legendary attributes made Baby Cloud far superior to the average Legendary creature. Its destructive capabilities could compete against Intermediate Legendaries that appeared toward the end of each era.
Once Lu Ran was done speaking, Baby Cloud jumped into his arms, which made his other familiars jealous. They thought that it was quite shameless to beg for resources by acting cute. Captain Doofus and Sudden Death King could never lower themselves to that level. Dark Crow wasn’t above trying, but it was afraid that Lu Ran would slap it if it did.
“All right,” Lu Ran said after taking a short break. “Let’s start round two.”
It had already been two days, and the eight high-ranking Elemental Gods were still searching for Lu Ran without any luck. What shocked them the most was that he even had the audacity to provoke both the Light God and the Dark God.
They were waiting for the two big shots to step in and punish the evildoer. Those two far out-classed the eight of them. If the world didn’t need every element to maintain balance, then they would’ve been eliminated long ago.
As time passed, many of the Elemental Gods fell silent as the Light God and Dark God couldn’t find Lu Ran either. The ten Elemental Gods were determined to destroy him, so they were constantly communicating and sharing intel. As more of their followers were being slain, they had to turn some of their attention to protecting them.
Lu Ran knew that it was time to switch things up a bit.
Crack!
Space fissures appeared around the divine statues that were being worshiped in several nations and swallowed them up one after another. Instead of hunting the gods themselves, he targeted their divine statues. They were valuable, especially to the Light and Dark Gods.
