The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1013: A Solution That's Not a Solution Chapter 1016: Chapter 1013: A Solution That's Not a Solution In the blink of an eye, another day had passed, and the Earth Book and River Map and Luo Book suspended in the Sun, Moon, and Stars Furnace were covered in cracks, their spiritual light growing dim, as if they could collapse at any moment.

The cracks on the Map of Mountains and Rivers were almost invisible, with the last faint line barely discernible.

On the other side, the Heavenly Book was in a similar condition, with four cracks nearly gone, leaving only a wisp remaining.

Zhenyuanzi's hands moved as if turning a car wheel, purple fire strands leaped on the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and lumps of yellow primordial vitality continued to fly out from the Earth Book, pouring into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

The cracks on the Map of Mountains and Rivers suddenly twisted like living things, as if trying to break away from the Map itself.

Zhenyuanzi's face beamed with joy, his hands moving quickly to form incantations, and at the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of essence blood, integrating it into the Earth Book.

The already damaged Earth Book completely collapsed, turning into a cluster of pure yellow light with countless profound runes emerging within it, blending into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Sounds like drum music and bianzhong bells, the music of immortals, emanated from the Map of Mountains and Rivers. The cracks, somewhat unwillingly, began to fade slowly and completely vanished.

All of a sudden, a beam of soaring spiritual light burst forth from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, emitting an exceedingly joyous clear ringing. The surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual Qi also quivered with extreme delight, as if welcoming the return of a supremely exalted being.

“It's finally accomplished!” Shen Luo exclaimed with great joy, his heart easing by half.

“Shen Luo, place a drop of your essence blood into the Map of Mountains and Rivers!” Zhenyuanzi suddenly said to Shen Luo.

Taken aback by the command, Shen Luo nonetheless pricked his right middle finger and flicked it.

A drop of fresh blood shot out into the furnace, landing on the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and was quickly absorbed.

All the spiritual light on the Map of Mountains and Rivers converged and completely disappeared, and the Map itself quickly became transparent, vanished into the void in a flash, and was no longer visible.

The next moment, a scroll materialized out of thin air by Shen Luo's side, enveloped in a flash of spiritual light–it was the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

The Map brushed against his body as if alive, radiating a sense of closeness, seeming to be a living entity.

Seeing this, Nezha's eyes flashed with a hint of envy, yet there wasn't a trace of jealousy.

As an advanced disciple of the Teachings and a War God of the Heavenly Court, he already had plenty of magical treasures to utilize.

While Shen Luo's right hand continued to emit a golden light pillar, aiding in the fusion of the Heavenly Book, his left hand held the Map of Mountains and Rivers. As his Divine Sense entered the Map, he connected with its essence and soon confirmed the treasure was indeed fully restored.

At the same time, he understood the God's Power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers. Inside the Map was a realm unto itself, not just any ordinary secret realm space but an actual world, complete with the sun, moon, and stars, as well as the alteration of day and night, all on its own.

In the world within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he, the controller of this Map, was akin to a god, capable of manipulating everything there at will.

Shen Luo was overjoyed. With this heavenly treasure in hand, even if he faced a Heavenly Venerable Level master like Zhenyuanzi, he felt confident he could hold his own.

Now, at this critical moment of treasure refining, he didn't continue to explore the Map of Mountains and Rivers. He quickly gathered his focus to assist Zhenyuanzi in repairing the Heavenly Book.

With a gesture, the Map of Mountains and Rivers reappeared in the Sun, Moon, and Stars Furnace. A great surge of spiritual light burst forth, enveloping the Heavenly Book and aiding in the healing of its cracks.

Only with the Heavenly Book, another Heavenly Treasure, restored, could they truly stand against the Demon Clan.

At this moment, Zhenyuanzi's expression was extremely grave, his hands forming afterimages as he wholeheartedly carried out the refining ritual.

Of the four marks on the Heavenly Book, three had already disappeared, leaving only the last stubborn one remaining.

The River Map and Luo Book were on the brink of collapse, the emitted Green Light reduced to less than one-tenth of its original intensity, yet it continued to pour into the Heavenly Book.

Moments later, the last mark on the Heavenly Book began to slowly squirm as if about to heal completely.

Zhenyuanzi, Shen Luo, and Nezha all showed joy on their faces.

But at that moment, the golden light on the Heavenly Book suddenly became unstable and started to flicker violently.

The Heavenly Book that had been closed abruptly “rustled” and opened on its own.

A burst of golden light erupted from within, spreading out like raging waves toward the surroundings, with the River Map and Luo Book being the first to bear the brunt.

Zhenyuanzi's expression changed, and he tried to intervene, but it was already too late.

With a “bang,” the River Map and Luo Book, already filled with cracks, were shattered completely by the golden light.

The Map of Mountains and Rivers was also thrown by the golden light, flying out of the furnace once more, and the Sun, Moon, and Stars Furnace also shook for a while; fortunately, this treasure was undamaged.

The turbulent golden light on the Heavenly Book soon faded, and the crack that had been there did not disappear.

Zhenyuanzi coughed twice lightly, his complexion turning a shade paler, and he stopped the hand gestures he was making.

The light on the Sun, Moon, and Stars Furnace dimmed, returning to its original state.

“Zhenyuan Taoist friend, are you alright?” asked Shen Luo with a tight look and concern.

Zhenyuanzi had become like this clearly because the Earth Book and River Map and Luo Book, the two treasures, had been completely destroyed, and he, their master, was implicated.

“It's nothing,” Zhenyuanzi waved his hand and took out a green pill. His face flashed with green light as he swallowed it, and he soon recovered.

“Having already sacrificed the River Map and Luo Book, why can't the Heavenly Book be completely restored? Shall we try sacrificing another treasure?” Shen Luo let out a sigh of relief, looking at the Heavenly Book inside the furnace, and suggested.

“It's useless. Not to mention the treasures you have are not of high enough quality, even if there were, with Chiyou about to awaken, we no longer have enough time to cast spells,” Zhenyuanzi raised his hand to stop him.

“Now that only the Map of Mountains and Rivers is repaired, with this treasure alone, can we really seal Chiyou?” Nezha asked anxiously.

“I'm not completely sure myself, but we must do our best. Besides, although the Heavenly Book has not been fully repaired, its power has been mostly restored, and it can provide considerable support,” Zhenyuanzi said, summoning the Heavenly Book with a gesture of his hand.

A vast aura emanated from the Heavenly Book, forcing both Shen Luo and Nezha to step back.

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhenyuanzi infused a green light into it, and the vast aura of the Heavenly Book finally subsided.

“Zhenyuan Taoist friend, you are skilled in treasure refining; do you really not have a way to repair the Heavenly Book?” Shen Luo asked again.

The aura that the Heavenly Book had just emitted was far superior to his own treasures, like the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod and the War God Whip; it could indeed play a significant role, but he still could not let go.

“In the current situation, there's only one way to quickly restore this treasure,” Zhenyuanzi said after closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, then opening them.

“What way?” Shen Luo asked eagerly.

“Blood sacrifice,” said Zhenyuanzi.

“Blood sacrifice? Isn't that a method of the Demon Clan?” Shen Luo was taken aback.

“Indeed, the Demon Clan's Blood-Sacrifice Technique, although brutal and vicious, is indeed a quick way to replenish vitality. The Heavenly Book is a very spiritual treasure, and the reason the last crack cannot be mended is due to the lack of spiritual nourishment. If we can find a sufficiently powerful soul to sacrifice, the treasure will surely be repaired,” Zhenyuanzi said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo and Nezha displayed not joy, but rather unpleasant expressions.

The Blood-Sacrifice Technique of the Demon Clan had always been abhorred by the righteous cultivators of the Three Realms, but now, only by resorting to this evil technique could their chances of victory be increased.

However, if they used this technique, what difference would there be between them and the Demon Clan?
