The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1037

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1034: Unyielding Chapter 1037: Chapter 1034: Unyielding Shen Luo had never seen the Bull Demon King in such a state; his aura was more potent than ever before, yet it seemed extremely unstable, fluctuating ceaselessly like tidal waters.

“Seeking death,” Chiyou sneered upon seeing this.

The Bull Demon King was oblivious to this, as he had already fallen into an unusual realm. There were no other sounds in his ears, and his eyes were fixed on a single streak of black light.

As a vast amount of essence blood burned within his body, the aura around him finally stabilized, surmounting the last barrier of the Taiyi Peak and reaching the Heavenly Venerate level.

He grasped the Mixed Iron Staff tightly with both hands, strands of hot blood climbing onto it, winding around the staff while the charm patterns lit up layer by layer. The staff appeared to ignite, turning a fiery red.

“Roar…”

Accompanied by a thunderous shout, he stepped forward and swung the Mixed Iron Staff. A torrent of Blood Flame ignited, dyeing half the sky red and colliding with the black light of the battle axe.

“Boom”

An explosive roar came from the place where the two lights collided. The seemingly unstoppable black light from the axe blade stopped, clashing intensely with the widespread Blood Flame. When bound on a narrow path, neither would give way.

Chiyou saw this, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He vibrated his arms and pressed down once more.

The Bull Demon King couldn't help but retreat half a step, his entire body bathed in blood.

He gritted his teeth tightly, several of them silently shattering, yet he refused to retreat any further.

“Go…”

His voice was hoarse, squeezing the word out as if from his throat, and suddenly he turned around sharply, carrying the Mixed Iron Staff on his shoulder, heaving it upward with the effort of a man lifting a mountain.

The black light of the axe blade was forcefully lifted by his staff, changing its direction and rushing straight towards the heavens.

“Rumble…”

Above the skydome, a beam of light arose from the Earth, cleaving the sky open with a chasm ten thousand zhang deep, the Heaven and Earth Aura around it chaotically swirling, unable to flow into and fill it.

The widespread Blood Flame also extinguished inch by inch, turning into a blood rain that fell.

On the Earth below, that majestic figure, thousands of zhang high, had vanished without a trace, leaving only a battered and bloodied body.

The Bull Demon King, now back to human size, was covered in wounds, with fresh blood streaming like trickling water from everywhere, unstoppable, yet he still did not fall. He propped himself up with the Mixed Iron Staff, supporting his scar-ridden body.

Chiyou, seeing his strike blocked and the blocker still showing signs of life, couldn't help feeling a surge of admiration. But at this moment, he had no intention of showing mercy. Grasping the battle axe in both hands, he began to gather strength once more.

Shen Luo, seeing this, would not give him the chance, disregarding whether the mana in his entire body would be depleted, and he spurred it into full force.

“Ah…”

With a roar, the scroll above the skydome was finally fully colored and burst forth with vigorous vitality at that moment.

Almost at the same time, Zhenyuanzi's figure appeared on the scroll, and with a point of his Dharma Seal, a white whirlpool appeared on the map, sucking him in first.

“Opening,” he bellowed, as a dazzling Golden Light flew out from his body, revealing a golden tome.

“Whoosh”

The sound of pages flipping echoed through the air as the golden scripture opened on its own. Pages scattered and flew towards the sky in the painting, transforming into ancient golden runes, merging into the void.

Zhenyuanzi hovered in the void of the painting, arms spread, head tilted back to the sky, his mouth resonating with the sound of chanting.

Above the firmament, an immensely powerful force began to be drawn down, pouring into his body. His eyes underwent a transformation at that moment, one turning white, the other black. His hands drew circles in the void, finally coming together in front of his chest, one finger pointing to the sky, the other pointing to the earth, connecting Heaven and Earth.

At that moment, the edges of the Map of Mountains and Rivers painting in the void began to fade away, and that force of pure Heaven and Earth swept out like a gentle breeze in all directions, seemingly silent and breathless, yet unstoppable.

The black light on the battle axe in Chiyou's hand had lit up, only to extinguish once again.

Looking around, he let out a silent sigh in his heart, realizing that his figure was no longer on the great earth of Chang'an, but inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Like him, Shen Luo and a few others were also pulled into the Map.

Nie Caizhu stood behind Shen Luo and the Bull Demon King, her hands forming the seal of the Treasure Vase, with the Jade Purification Bottle floating in front of her. A slender willow branch hung over the heads of the three, emanating aqucolored light rippling like water.

Her complexion was deathly pale, as she simultaneously channeled the Salvation of All Beings and the Sweet Dew of the Willow to help the Bull Demon King, who was gravely injured, and Shen Luo, who had massively expended his strength, to recover their combat capabilities.

Yang Jian, with the Three-pointed Two-edged Knife in hand, stood by her side to protect, blood already seeping from the vertical eye in his brow.

“Cai Zhu, focus on healing Brother Niu, I can recover on my own,” Shen Luo said, swallowing three Elixirs and simultaneously activating the Nameless Cultivation Technique and the Great Unsealing Technique.

While opening his own Qiao acupoints, he drew in the Heaven and Earth Aura with the Nameless Cultivation Technique, his recovery speed proving to be extremely fast.

Seeing this, Nie Caizhu didn't insist and focused on treating the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King was severely injured, having nearly burned up all his essence blood, and now completely lost the capacity for self-healing, relying entirely on Nie Caizhu's healing to keep him alive. Once her mana could no longer sustain, the tiny flame of life left in the Bull Demon King would be extinguished.

“Do you really think that by pulling me into this Map of Mountains and Rivers, you'll have a chance to seal me again? Too naive…” Chiyou swept his gaze over everyone and laughed coldly.

Zhenyuanzi paid him no heed. With a wave of his hand, the space within the entire Map trembled, and from the directions of southeast, northwest, “rumble” noises resounded as a mountain rose from the ground in each direction, ascending into the high altitude.

“Drive the Five Peaks to suppress the evil demon,” he uttered lightly.

The earth beneath Chiyou shook continuously, and a mountain concealed underground rose with thunderous roars. A yellow halo glowed upon it, wrapping around him.

At the same time, the Four Peaks had already flown into place, rooting themselves around the Central Yue Mountain, forming a defensive formation, each glowing bright.

With the Five Peaks in position, a powerful force from the Earth began to be imbued in Chiyou, a pressure far exceeding the weight of the five mountains gradually bearing down on him.

Chiyou's feet began to sink into the Central Yue Mountain, his massive frame slowly descending, as if being pulled into the ground.

“Insignificant tricks, do you dare to flaunt your incompetence before me?”

With a bellow, his body erupted with black light, and with a fierce stomp, waves of shock spread out from him like a tide in all directions.

The five towering mountains, each a thousand feet tall, trembled violently at this moment. Rocks crumbled from their peaks, and their bases became unstable.

Upon witnessing this, Zhenyuanzi's eyes flashed with a surge of black and white light, and he pushed his palms downward with both hands. His sleeves whipped loudly, and layers of golden light condensed as if solid, falling from the sky and pressing down until the very void collapsed beneath their weight.
