The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1038: Entering the Map Chapter 1041: Chapter 1038: Entering the Map “Indeed, this was personally bestowed to me by Buddha Tathagata that year, and I've never had the heart to consume it. If you take it, even though you might not be able to absorb all the elixir's power, you will certainly recover at least eighty percent of your vitality,” Tang Sanzang said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo showed a hesitant expression on his face.

“Precious items should be used where they are most needed. Coming up, the few of us, master and disciples, will rely on the power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers to block Chi You for you. However, the duty of resealing will still need to be carried out by you. The survival and success of the Three Realms depend on this very action,” Tang Sanzang sighed as he joined his hands and spoke.

Shen Luo nodded, without saying much else; he immediately closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and sat down, swallowing the elixir into his stomach.

Upon the Golden Core entering his mouth, a warm force instantly spread throughout, transforming into a warm current that merged directly into Shen Luo's dantian; as the elixir rapidly assimilated, a golden light started to shine at the location of his lower abdomen.

As the light shone, Shen Luo's entire body was bathed in a dazzling radiance, and a Buddha's phantom image materialized outside his body, its back to him, emanating a serene and warm power.

At that moment, Shen Luo felt as though he was basking in gentle spring breezes and warm sunlight; his body and mind were utterly relaxed, and the Great Unsealing Technique also started to operate unconsciously, healing all the minor hidden injuries inside his body without a trace.

Accompanying this, his dantian and meridians were once more filled with the immense Heaven and Earth Aura, and his mana began to swiftly recover.

“It harmonizes so well with the Relic Light, I guess my worries were superfluous,” Tang Sanzang remarked with joy in his eyes, also somewhat surprised.

At the end of his speech, a booming sound was heard. It was Zhu Bajie who was struck by Chi You's axe and sent flying thousands of feet away, followed by Monk Sha and Little White Dragon who had rushed to assist, but were each repelled one after another.

At this moment, Chi You was already consumed by raging fury, with his strength continuously recovering, his attacks grew increasingly vicious.

Yang Jian steadied his thoughts and suddenly looked up into the high altitude, only to see that Zhenyuanzi had somehow already returned and was now leaping into the sky, hovering where the sky was torn apart, his body emitting golden light, repairing the fissure.

After a brief hesitation, he too soared into the void, joining in the repair of the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang felt greatly relieved. He moved once again, arriving at Bull Demon King and Nie Caizhu's side, taking out another elixir, this one a bright vermilion, and handed it to Bull Demon King.

“This is the Thousand-Year Heart-protecting Pill, especially effective in healing injuries to Qi, blood, and the physical body. You should take it first to heal your wounds, as I need to go and help my disciples,” Tang Sanzang said in a rush, and immediately flew upward, heading straight towards Chi You.

Bull Demon King nodded at Nie Caizhu, signaling that she no longer needed to heal him, and after swallowing the pill, he started to meditate to treat his injuries.

Nie Caizhu glanced at Shen Luo, then over at the fierce battle, filled with concern.

At this time, the battlefield outside the Map of Mountains and Rivers had completely turned into a slaughterhouse. With the significant combat strength of Shen Luo and the four others absent, the power of the Human Immortals and the Allied Forces of the Three Demon Clans was severely weakened.

With the Demon Clan Army overwhelming in both numbers and strength, to them, the situation was utterly crushing. Everywhere, people were perishing in the ongoing combat, and both inside and outside Chang'an City, the cries of war echoed through the skydome; the earth was awash with blood, a sight too horrific to bear.

Nezha and others fought bloodily, yet still ultimately could not withstand the collapsing situation, being pressured to the point of breathlessness.

But at this point, they had no retreat left and could only fight with their backs to the wall.

In the face of this near-death frenzy, the Demon Clan too suffered great losses. Many True Immortals fell in battle, and even those in the Taiyi Realm did not escape casualties, with more than half of the Twelve Distinguished Ones dead.

And now, what was causing them even more unease was that Chi You had been absorbed into the Map of Mountains and Rivers for a long time, and his connection with the outside world was almost entirely severed.

Even Kong Xuan could not detect Chiyou's breath at this moment.

“This won't do. Even if we were to slaughter all these rebel armies outside, it would all be meaningless if Lord Chiyou really gets sealed by them,” said Nine-Headed Insect, drenched in blood, roaring at the people beside him.

“Do you have so little faith in Lord Chiyou?” Kong Xuan asked indifferently, frowning.

At these words, Nine-Headed Insect's expression stiffened, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

“Talking about this is useless. They dare to take the risk and strike back because we have pushed them into a corner, but we must not be negligent. Besides… that Shen Luo cannot be judged by ordinary standards,” Ma Xiuxiu suddenly spoke up.

“Then, what do you suggest we do?” asked Kong Xuan.

“We need to find a way to enter the Map of Mountains and Rivers, or at least figure out what situation Lord Chiyou is in right now,” Ma Xiuxiu said, her brow furrowed.

Kong Xuan glanced at the sky above Chang'an, which was empty. The thousand-zhang scroll that had previously unfolded had already disappeared.

“Enter? That's easier said than done. The Map of Mountains and Rivers forms its own world, and now it has escaped into the void. I'm afraid it won't be easy to enter,” said Yellow Dragon Immortal, raising an eyebrow.

“Even though the Map of Mountains and Rivers has escaped into the void, it is not a true Boundary, after all. The fundamental Dao is still connected to these Three Realms. I can find the entrance to the void, but opening it is hard, and entering is even harder,” Kong Xuan said, rubbing his chin.

“So you're saying you can do it?” Yellow Dragon Immortal asked in surprise.

“My Five-color Divine Light can break all Five Elements Techniques, and the essence of the Map of Mountains and Rivers is also based on the Five Elements' spiritual energy. With all my strength, I can break open its void entrance,” Kong Xuan stated.

“Is that true?” exclaimed Nine-Headed Insect with surprise.

Kong Xuan, who always found Nine-Headed Insect annoying, rolled his eyes and continued, “However, by doing so, I would basically have to withdraw from the fight. The exhaustion of opening the void is too great, and I won't have the strength to fight again for a while afterward.”

“That's not a problem. Those remnants are nothing to fear,” Nine-Headed Insect promptly said.

“Moreover, the void entrance that can be opened will probably only allow one person to go through. More than that and the stability of the entrance cannot be guaranteed… In fact, even just one person entering will also carry considerable risk,” Kong Xuan mused.

“You're not going in?” Nine-Headed Insect asked with a frown.

Among them, Kong Xuan had the highest cultivation level and combat strength. If he went in, it would naturally be the safest option.

“You think opposing the force of the Map of Mountains and Rivers is easy? If that were the case, Lord Chiyou might have already come out on his own. Maintaining the stability of the void entrance while also dividing my attention to send myself in–if you can do it, then you go ahead,” Kong Xuan said, looking at Nine-Headed Insect as if looking at an idiot, slightly angry.

Nine-Headed Insect's face turned green, and although he was extremely annoyed, he couldn't lash out.

“Who among you will go in?” Kong Xuan looked at the others.

“After what you've said, I'm not going. What if you tremble and squeeze me to death at the void entrance? Who am I going to reason with?” Yellow Dragon Immortal candidly refused.

Nine-Headed Insect had initially wanted to suggest sending himself in, but upon hearing Yellow Dragon Immortal speak like this, he too hesitated.
