406: It's simply outrageous!

Chapter 406: Simply Heaven-Defying!

"Ah? You succeeded? You..." Cen Yu Nuo's mouth twitched.

She looked at the talisman in Lu Ran's hand, which had already crumbled into powder.

He really succeeded!

Then she looked at the Great Heavenly General she had summoned not far away.

She had practiced this thing for half a year before she could barely summon it successfully.

After all, it was a high-grade talisman, and at that speed, she was already considered exceptionally talented in Da Luo Palace.

But Lu Ran...

He just took the talisman, learned it, and then used it, just like that?

What about the effect?

Could it be successfully summoned?

Rumble~

As she was thinking, suddenly a clap of thunder, amidst the rumbling, made her look up.

The originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds!

The gloomy clouds continuously pressed down, and their color deepened, gradually turning from gray to red.

When it was as red as fresh blood.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a water bucket, accompanied by golden light, struck directly down to the human world as if an ancient Thunder God was unleashing his power!

Cen Yu Nuo was dumbfounded.

What kind of terrifying movement is this?

Is this still the Tianpeng Curse?

Or did the weather just change?

But the next second.

He understood.

The golden light descended from the nine heavens to the human world, and then, a figure, that's right, not just one, but a figure!

A giant golden-armored divine being, forty to fifty meters tall, appeared before the two of them!

He was burly, clad in golden armor, with an angry gaze full of might. His eight arms held axes, halberds, hooks, and forks, striking a pose that made Cen Yu Nuo's breathing quicken.

"Manifesting the mighty appearance of three heads and six arms, wielding the vast creation of the Seven Luminaries and Eight Spirits, as the Imperial Bell rings, all saints arrive! With a light swing of the axe, all demons are shattered! This... This is the Eight-Armed Da Tianpeng!" Cen Yu Nuo gasped.

"Damn, this thing is fierce, is it the Great Heavenly General? Why do I feel it's a bit different?" Lu Ran was also stunned.

This is so cool!

A body like a mountain, covering the sky and obscuring the sun!

And...

Compared to Undead creatures, the things summoned by our Dragon Xia Thirty-Six Factions of Taoism feel truly different!

"Nonsense, how could it be the same? The Eight-Armed Da Tianpeng is the peak state of the Tianpeng Curse. I... I've only seen records of it in Thirty-Six Factions of Taoism's classics, and I've never seen it before. Even my master could only summon the Six-Armed Great Heavenly General back then. As for the Eight-Armed Da Tianpeng, my master always thought it was a legend, something that a human body simply couldn't achieve," Cen Yu Nuo stammered.

But now, Lu Ran had done it!

And he was a guy who knew nothing about Taoism!

He just glanced at the talisman and learned it.

After learning it, he used it!

And not only did he use it, but it was directly the peak Eight-Armed Da Tianpeng!

Cen Yu Nuo was dumbfounded.

But then.

She excitedly said, "So, any talisman or Taoism you learn can directly be in its peak state? I understand! I finally understand!"

Huh?

Lu Ran turned to Cen Yu Nuo and asked, "What do you understand?"

Cen Yu Nuo said, "My master told me to find you not just to deal with Buddhism. The real purpose is for you to revive Taoism. The hope for Taoism's rise rests on you!"

Damn, is the pressure that big?

"Do I have that ability? Isn't this hat a bit too big? Me? I don't even know what Taoism is," Lu Ran said in astonishment.

"You absolutely do! Moreover, your Taoist profession doesn't have a clear lineage division, which means that you can learn all the Thirty-Six Factions of Taoism, and even some wild folk spells, and they will all be in their peak state! You alone can support the entire Taoism!" Cen Yu Nuo shouted excitedly.

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. At this moment, looking at Lu Ran, it was as if she was looking at a treasure!

Lu Ran blinked his eyes in confusion.

He said, "Is it that simple? Do you have any other talismans? I'll try again."

Upon hearing this.

Cen Yu Nuo didn't hesitate.

Rustle rustle~

She pulled out over a dozen talismans from her pocket.

She said, "These are all for you. I prepared them in advance. You can try to learn all of them."

Lu Ran then came to his senses.

This original blank skill list was not a disadvantage, but an advantage!

He could just stuff everything in!

This was much more satisfying than the Undead Mage's skill list, which required leveling up to unlock skills one by one!

He reached out and took them.

He eagerly picked up one and looked at it.

Indeed, there was a prompt indicating it could be learned.

"It can be learned!" Lu Ran said excitedly.

Cen Yu Nuo's eyes also lit up.

But then.

The expression on Lu Ran's face froze.

"[Learning Taoism requires gradual progress. Remaining time until next learning opportunity: 23:55:12.]"

Lu Ran blinked.

He said, "Oh no, it's not that simple. I can't learn it."

Cen Yu Nuo was startled.

She anxiously asked, "Why? Can't all Taoism be learned? What kind can be learned? Didn't you just say it could be learned?"

Seeing Cen Yu Nuo's anxious look, as if she was even more anxious than Lu Ran himself.

Lu Ran scratched his head and said, "According to the prompt, I can learn one every twenty-four hours. There's a cooldown. And my 'no cooldown' perk doesn't seem to work on this. The twenty-four-hour cooldown cannot be bypassed."

Upon hearing this.

Cen Yu Nuo was not anxious at all; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She patted her bulging chest, stuck out her tongue, and said, "You scared me to death! Next time, can you just say it clearly? Well, well, as long as it can be learned, a one-day cooldown is very good. Learning one a day, and it's directly in its peak state, this would also scare people to death in Taoism!"

After speaking.

Cen Yu Nuo seemed to remember something else and said, "Oh, and there's something else."

She looked at the Eight-Armed Da Tianpeng summoned by Lu Ran.

She said, "Using talismans consumes divine sense, which is like navigation and is attached to the divine soul. That's why I can inherit the top ten Taoist cultivation levels. But you directly used it in its peak state, so I don't know what it consumes, or if it consumes nothing at all."

In short.

The use of Taoism, although without cooldown, consumes a lot.

"The more profound the Taoism, the greater the consumption. Therefore, Taoism cannot be used casually. It needs to be coordinated and used strategically against enemies. But for you, Taoism has been digitized, and you just said the talisman description had no cooldown. I don't know if there's a cooldown when you use it, or what it consumes?" Cen Yu Nuo said.

Other Taoists, the more profound the Taoism, the fewer they can use.

The most powerful Taoism might drain them with just one use.

But Lu Ran was clearly different from normal Taoists.

So, Cen Yu Nuo didn't know what the rules were for Lu Ran using these Taoism now.

"I don't feel any consumption, so now we just need to see if the 'no cooldown' perk can take effect," Lu Ran mused.

Cen Yu Nuo understood.

She threw Lu Ran some Tianpeng Curse talismans, about twenty or so.

She said, "These are easy to draw, and I have more. You can try them. If it works, I'll prepare more for you to keep on hand as backup."

Lu Ran nodded.

He held over twenty Tianpeng Curse talismans in his hand.

This time, it was much more familiar.

With a thought.

Bang!

The dozens of talismans in his hand all shattered!

Rumble~

The entire sky... began to shake!

Countless golden lights, like swimming dragons, mixed with lightning, darted through the thundercloud storm.

At this moment.

It was as if a doomsday catastrophe had arrived!
