The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1019

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1116: Divine Mind Imaging Chapter 1019: Chapter 1116: Divine Mind Imaging Time passed, moment by moment, and Shen Luo's face began to bleed from all seven orifices, his body also trembling nonstop while the mana inside him surged chaotically, causing his body to bloat visibly.

“Big Brother Shen, stop now!” Nie Cai Zhu urgently said, with a flash of golden light on her hand, ready to put an end to Shen Luo's continued absorption of the soul power within the War God Whip.

“No rush, let's wait and see,” Zhenyuanzi said, stopping Nie Cai Zhu and looking at Shen Luo with an odd shine in his eyes.

The power of the divine soul in Shen Luo's mind grew increasingly violent, akin to a pot of boiling water.

But just at that moment, something strange happened at the depths of his mind, generating a suction force that swiftly absorbed the rampaging soul power.

Shen Luo was startled, uncertain of what had happened, but he vaguely understood that he had overcome the ordeal and quickly began to operate the Suppressing God Technique, working in harmony with the suction force to tame the surging soul power.

And the chaotic mana within his body suddenly became smooth, his swollen frame shrinking back to its normal size.

The intense pain in Shen Luo's head gradually subsided, and his body felt lighter as if he was about to fly.

With a thunderous boom, a dazzling white light erupted in his mind as if a great door had been pushed open, ushering him into an entirely new realm.

The surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual qi converged tumultuously, like a tidal wave merging within him, creating a massive vortex of spiritual energy that pushed Zhenyuanzi and Nie Cai Zhu far away.

“Hehe, indeed, indeed,” Zhenyuanzi chuckled without surprise, stroking his beard.

“Great Immortal Zhenyuan, my cousin is alright now?” Nie Cai Zhu asked eagerly.

“Friend Shen is indeed a rare genius seen once in a thousand years; he has overcome the difficulty and ascended to the next level of cultivation,” Zhenyuanzi nodded and said.

Inside Shen Luo's mind, the suction force was still rapidly devouring the rampant soul power.

With each fraction of soul power it absorbed, the tumult in his mind weakened, while the deep absorptive force within his soul grew stronger.

In just a few breaths, the disorderly soul power in his mind was completely absorbed, leaving none behind.

Only then did the inward suction in the depths of his mind cease, and the surging heavenly and earthly spiritual qi also came to a stop.

Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his soul power had grown more than tenfold; if before it were a trickling stream, now it was a roaring river, and it had undergone some qualitative change.

Shen Luo tried to mobilize the soul power slightly, and countless rays of light shot from around him, converging to form a vivid picture.

He focused intently and couldn't help but inhale sharply. However, the image in his mind depicted the surrounding thousand miles, everything within the Yinling Mountains, those like Yang Jian fleeing towards Chang'an City, and the situation within Chang'an City itself–numerous demons, layers of magical light prohibitions–all appeared clearly in that image, completely unlike using Divine Sense for inspection.

Only, some prohibitions within Chang'an City were exceptionally mysterious and unfathomable, and the scroll in his mind could not see through them.

“What is this?” Shen Luo blurted out.

“This is the Divine Mind Imaging, a divine power only available to those in the Heavenly Venerate Realm. It does not require the sweep of divine sense; everything around you is automatically reflected in your mind, much more discreet than probing with divine sense, and it provides much more detailed information. Many from the realm of Taiyi, even after ten thousand years of hard practice, cannot take this step. You, with the help of countless ghost souls, have achieved it with ease, which is cause for celebration,” Zhenyuanzi said with a smile.

“This is the Heavenly Venerate Realm! Divine Mind Imaging…” Shen Luo muttered to himself, overjoyed.

As for his cultivation level, it had also made a significant leap forward, reaching the Middle Stage of Taiyi, and not far from the Taiyi Late Stage, it seemed.

Now that his divine soul realm had advanced by leaps and bounds, under normal circumstances, had he found a quiet place to cultivate in earnest, he could swiftly have reached the Taiyi Late Stage or even begun challenging the threshold of the Heavenly Venerate Realm, but he had no such time now.

“This is bad, we're not far from Chang'an City, how can there not be experts of the Heavenly Venerate Realm among the Demon Clan? Could it be that all we've said just now has been overheard by our adversaries?” Shen Luo suddenly thought of something and blurted out.

“There's no need to worry about that. Here we have the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation, which can block Divine Mind Imaging. Moreover, I've already used my godly powers to protect this place. The Demon Clan won't be able to see what's happening here,” Zhenyuanzi said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo remembered that the prohibitions inside Chang'an City could block his Divine Mind Imaging, so naturally, the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation could too, and this reassured him.

“Because of me, we've already delayed quite a while here. Now that Yang Jian and the others have set off, we should make our move as well,” he said.

“Alright, the Map of Mountains and Rivers is a Heavenly Treasure. It can not only be used to seal Chiyou but can also be merged into the void, advancing through the power of space with the Escape Technique. Even someone of the Taiyi Realm would have a hard time noticing it. Brother Nie and I will first hide inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers. Brother Shen, your divine soul realm has increased greatly. Although the surroundings of Chang'an City are covered with layers of prohibitions by the Demon Clan, with your divine powers, you should be able to infiltrate Chang'an City successfully,” Zhenyuanzi said.

“I was thinking the same,” said Shen Luo as he brought out the Map of Mountains and Rivers and swept it over the two of them.

The figures of Zhenyuanzi and Nie Caizhu disappeared in an instant, being taken into the space within the map.

Shen Luo then made a gesture at the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the scroll rolled up around him. He vanished from the spot along with the map, without causing any disturbance in the surrounding void, nor a ripple in the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.

Yang Jian, the Bull Demon King, and others were moving mightily towards Chang'an City, a multitude of Escape Lights converging to form a massive torrent.

Inside Chang'an City, where every corner was studded with demonic flags and banners, a thick black Demonic Qi protective cover, dense and sprawling, seemed like a gigantic lid sealing off the entire Chang'an City.

Countless Demonic Beings were stationed outside the black Demonic Qi protective cover, constantly patrolling back and forth.

These Demonic Beings were mostly of the Demon Race, Human Race, Ghost Clan, and the like, transformed by contamination with Demonic Qi. Their auras were mixed, and their cultivation levels not high, most being at the Soul Condensation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, with a few at the Great Mahayana Stage. Of course, there were also some leaders with True Immortal cultivation.

However, the number of these Demonic Beings was immense, covering the sky and ground near Chang'an City completely.

Within the black Demonic Qi protective barrier stood many of the Demon Clan, whose auras were much purer and cultivation much higher, similarly patrolling back and forth.

Near the Imperial City, layer upon layer of light curtains filled with prohibitions emerged in the void, encircling the entire Imperial City in an impenetrable barrier.

The prohibition light curtains were flickering with Spiritual Light, obviously very sophisticated prohibitions, many integrated with the Power of Space, preventing monks from using high-level Escape Techniques to infiltrate.

In the mid-air of the Imperial City, hovered a blood-red stone platform that was hundreds of feet in size, with twelve black banners planted around its edges–the Twelve Heavenly Cities God-slaying Formation from the Underworld.

Countless pitch-black Devil Clouds swarmed out from within the formation, covering the entirety of the Imperial City.

Moreover, a Black Veil-like radiance hung down from the demonic clouds in the sky, enveloping the Imperial City within.

Nearly a hundred figures, swirling with Demonic Qi, stood on the Stone Platform, all with cultivation beyond the True Immortal Stage, obviously the Demon Clan's elite forces.

At the very center of the Stone Platform, a High Platform was erected, with a black and red throne at the top surrounded by nine demonic dragons. Although shrouded with soaring Demonic Qi, it was still majestic and solemn.

Beneath the Nine Dragon Throne, twelve smaller thrones were placed in order, most of which were vacant, except for the second, eighth, and ninth seats which were occupied.

Seated on the second throne was a muscular ox demon with a single horn, dressed in green armor and wielding an Eight-Foot Steel Spear. If Shen Luo were here, he would undoubtedly recognize this individual as the Blue Bull Spirit he had slain on Flower Fruit Mountain.

However, the Blue Bull Spirit's appearance had undergone a great transformation from before, and his cultivation had advanced significantly, reaching the Taiyi Realm.

On the eighth seat was the Nine Netherworlds, and next to it on the ninth seat sat a monkey in demonic armor–the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Six-Eared Macaque's eyes glowed blood-red, its aura much more vigorous than before. The black spear in its hand had become a pitch-black big stick with blood-red Demonic Patterns showing on it, and it was enveloped in an aura so sharp it seemed it could puncture the heavens.
