The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1135

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1132: Repair Chapter 1135: Chapter 1132: Repair Shen Luo felt the Demonic Qi contained within the Jiuli Devil Armor and couldn't help but marvel; even if a True Immortal Cultivator struck with full force, the armor could probably block the hit without much effort.

However, in this vast and empty First-level Space, not to mention a True Immortal Stage monk, not even a dog that could bite could be found, so naturally, no one was attacking Shen Luo.

But without anyone attacking, it meant that the Demonic Qi contained within the Devil Armor couldn't be consumed.

As a result, the Devil Armor on Shen Luo's body became unbearably heavy, as if he were carrying a great mountain on his back.

Seeing this, Shen Luo dared not continue to absorb any more Demonic Qi and immediately stopped.

He looked around; because of the surrounding light and Demonic Qi, he could still not see very far, but he vaguely discerned a pitch-dark shadow about a hundred feet away.

Shen Luo hesitated briefly before walking towards it.

The closer he got, the more Shen Luo noticed that the place where the dark shadow was located had much denser Demonic Qi than the surroundings.

He had no choice but to once again activate the Jiuli Devil Armor, continuing to absorb the Demonic Qi while moving closer.

After exerting a great deal of effort, equivalent to that of nine bulls and two tigers, he finally approached and discovered that the dark shadow was, in fact, a pile of ruined bricks and rubble.

Just as he sighed in disappointment, something caught his eye on one of the ruined bricks–a faint “Xuantian Demon Cleansing” inscription was engraved, though the serious wear had made the lettering quite blurry.

Shen Luo quickly bent down to take a closer look and soon found more text on another stone.

“The Purification Demon Array, it's actually here.”

Overjoyed, he immediately began to assess the damage to the Great Formation.

However, after a thorough inspection, he found that the Broken Purifying Demon Array had been severely damaged, including the Array Pillar base, which had been corroded badly by Demonic Qi; repairing it would not be an easy task.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Luo decided to retrieve the Earth Mother's Original Liquid first.

Otherwise, if he were to cleanse all the Demonic Qi here and get pulled out before having the chance to collect the Essence, it would be quite a loss.

At this moment, Shen Luo felt the Devil Armor on his body becoming heavier and heavier. Looking down, he noticed that the eyes of the bulging lion on the Devil Armor had changed from the original bright red to dark red, almost black.

He knew that the Jiuli Devil Armor had reached its limit in terms of absorbing Demonic Qi.

If he were to forcefully absorb any more, he feared an incident might occur.

With no other option, Shen Luo had to remove the Jiuli Devil Armor and stowed it away.

Shen Luo passed by the altar and, following Wu Kuihu's instructions, headed northeast to search for the tree root infused with Earth Mother's Spiritual Spring.

He did not rashly use his Escape Technique but, powered by his Mana, moved swiftly forward towards the Northeast using his physical skills alone.

But as soon as mana fluctuations emanated, the surrounding Demonic Qi began to converge toward him again.

Shen Luo did not pay it any heed, sprinting even faster, leaving the chasing Demonic Qi behind.

Soon, Shen Luo saw a hazy Green Light emerging ahead; when he got closer, he found that it indeed emanated from an extraordinarily thick tree root that stretched into the Underground, with luminescence sliding along the surface where it leaned against the earthen wall.

Thanks to the light from the tree root, Shen Luo saw that the wall behind it was engraved with numerous lines that continued along the wall and disappeared into the darkness.

“This must be the Restriction Array of the first level, right?” Shen Luo murmured to himself while looking down at the base of the tree root.

Upon closer inspection, his eyebrows slightly raised, clearly surprised.

Under those tree roots, there was nothing but emptiness; there was no spiritual spring at all.

Where was the spiritual spring? Where was the Earth Mother's Original Liquid? Could it be that I've been deceived?

Shen Luo felt greatly astonished and carefully recalled the position of the Purifying Demon Array he had seen just now and confirmed the direction again, yet he still felt that he had not made a mistake.

However, after searching over and over again, he still could not find any trace of the spiritual spring.

“Could it be that Senior Wu and the others remembered wrongly?” Shen Luo scratched his head, muttering to himself.

“Forget it, it's just eighteen tree roots after all. I'll search them one by one, and as long as it's here, I'm not afraid I won't find it.” Soon, Shen Luo made up his mind.

Having said that, he set off again, rushing speedily to the left side, hugging the wall.

Before long, Shen Luo found the second tree root, and after a thorough search, he found no spiritual spring.

After that, the third root, the fourth root, the fifth root… all turned up empty.

Not until he reached the seventh divine tree root did he finally see a small pool, about three feet in circumference, beneath the roots. It was filled with a pool of clear water, reflecting the green light from the tree, creating a glistening ripple effect.

Shen Luo's heart swelled with joy, and he approached for a closer inspection.

He found that the Earth Mother's Original Liquid was indeed as Wu Kuihu had described–clear and pure like a mountain spring, without any spiritual energy emanating from the surface.

But when his fingertip touched the water liquid, he immediately felt a tremendously rich vitality.

“What a great thing…” Shen Luo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

If he were elsewhere, Shen Luo would have wished to dive in right away and drink to his heart's content until his belly swelled.

But knowing that the Earth Mother's Essence was related to the seal and prohibition, he dared not act recklessly and truly complied with the agreement he had with Wu Kuihu, filling only one “small” porcelain bottle.

However, this “small” porcelain bottle was not the kind used for storing Elixirs on ordinary days, but was just a tad smaller than a vase used for arranging flowers, even larger than a bottle for drinking wine.

After collecting the Earth Mother's Original Liquid, Shen Luo sealed it well and placed it into the Linlang Ring. He reluctantly looked at the spiritual spring in front of him, licked his lips, and then turned to leave.

Soon, he returned to the side of the broken Purifying Demon Array and, following the Demon Cleansing Array map in his mind, began to attempt the restoration of the Array.

The Array's base had been destroyed mainly because it bore three claw marks from some unknown demonic beings, rendering the original charm patterns ineffective.

The rest of the Array had its pillars pulled out and pivot damaged, making the restoration quite laborious.

First, Shen Luo smoothed out the scratches on the base, and then he began to engrave the Formation Patterns anew.

Once the Formation Patterns were restored, he carefully inspected the rest of the Array.

The Purifying Demon Array was also circular in shape, but unlike the broken one, it had no void in the middle, and the damaged parts were all around the perimeter–some Array Pillars shattered, others merely displaced from their original positions.

After examining it for a while, Shen Luo had a plan in mind and began repairing it step by step.

A moment later, the incomplete materials were practically replenished, and the broken Formation Patterns had all been newly engraved by him. A fundamentally intact Purifying Demon Array was thoroughly restored to completion.

Shen Luo patted his hands, quite satisfied with his craftsmanship.

Then, he waved his hand lightly over the Array, and a stream of Mana flowed into it.

Immediately afterward, a stream of light brightened upon the Array, and a layer of Pale Golden Light emerged from the engraved Formation Patterns, with an invisible pulling force instantly arising from it.
