The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1138

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1135: Fiery Silence Grand Array Chapter 1138: Chapter 1135: Fiery Silence Grand Array Shen Luo immediately gathered his spirit and once again circulated the Huang Ting Jing, urging the Slayer's Broken Sword to suppress the Demonic Qi within his body.

After being scorched by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within the Pure Yang Flying Sword, the Demonic Qi inside him seemed to have its sharpness blunted, gradually falling under the dominance of the Pure Yang Power and being suppressed.

A moment later, the anomaly within Shen Luo's body gradually dissipated, and just as he was feeling pleased, he suddenly felt a small restraint inside him “crack” and shatter.

In the next instant, a whirlwind howled and arose within the first underground layer of the Martial God Altar.

Shen Luo couldn't help but be speechless; he had, just now, broken through a minor bottleneck and advanced from the Mahayana middle stage to the late stage under such circumstances.

He quickly raised a hand and waved it, and the Pure Yang Flying Sword floated in the air of its own accord, circling around him.

The sword body blazed fiercely, like guards on patrol, circling around him again and again, repelling any Demonic Qi that tried to approach.

Shen Luo's eyes were half-closed, and his hands formed magic spells, beginning to draw the spiritual energy from all directions toward his body.

However, in this first layer of the Martial God Altar's underground, while there was an abundance of Demonic Qi, the spiritual energy was scarce to an exasperating degree.

Only a whirlwind swirled around him, unable to draw in any spiritual energy at all.

But it was at this moment that something unexpected happened.

The entire Martial God Altar trembled with a “boom,” and green light suddenly shone out of the darkness around them.

One ray, two rays, three rays…

In a little while, a total of eighteen greenish lights sprang up all around.

At the same time, the Divine Wood Grace Secret Technique within Shen Luo's body also began to operate on its own, without being induced.

In the next instant, from those eighteen lights, streaks of incomparably pure Wood Spirit Qi emerged, shuttling through the void like fish, surging toward Shen Luo.

As layers of spiritual energy continuously poured in, Shen Luo's entire body was immediately enveloped in green light, and even without the protection of the Pure Yang Flying Sword circling around him, the surrounding Demonic Qi couldn't get through at all.

He immediately ran his skills, unceremoniously absorbing it with great gusto.

Inside the stone house of the Martial God Altar, everyone was once again shocked.

Just now, the entire Divine Tree had undergone a violent tremor, and the glowing Divine Tree vines wrapped around the stone house were also shining bright, with streaks of green spiritual energy flowing down the roots toward the ground below.

“What did that kid do?” Yun Zhongting frowned and said.

His gaze was fixed on the Circular Formation on the ground, where the Demonic Qi had not disappeared, and the black fog still covered the majority of the Green Light Area.

“Why is there also a disturbance in the Divine Tree? Could it be…” Yun Zhongyue opened her eyes wide, speaking with a hint of alarm.

Although she didn't finish her sentence, everyone heard the implication.

“Great Elder, is there any problem with the seal of the Great Formation?” Wu Kuihu asked with a frown.

Yun Zhongting carefully inspected for a moment and then shook his head, replying, “I can't see any issues for now. The forbidden magic array in the first layer hasn't reacted much, so it should not have been damaged.”

“What are you suspecting? How could Friend Shen do such a thing?” Jiang Shentian couldn't help but argue on behalf of Shen Luo.

“Master, let me connect with the Divine Tree to see what's going on,” Wu Man'er also spoke up.

“Very well… but be careful,” Wu Kuihu hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Wu Man'er nodded her head, immediately sitting down cross-legged with swift movements, forming a hand gesture as if plucking flowers, and began to chant softly.

Her voice was melodious and ethereal, echoing in the secret chamber.

The qi roots and trellises on the surrounding walls seemed to respond to her chanting, flickering with green light that pulsed with the fluctuations of her voice.

Threads of faint light swam towards the ground beneath her like fish, converging into a green light array with a radius of merely a few feet.

“Hoo…”

A gentle whirlwind rose from beneath Wu Man'er, causing her silver ornaments to tinkle.

Her hair danced lightly in the wind, and her tecolored eyes had turned to a transparent emerald green at some point.

Wu Man'er's hands fluttered in front of her body as the green light from the ground rose slowly, gradually condensing into a three-foot-tall green tree shadow in front of her, closely resembling the spirit tree's soul.

After the tree shadow appeared, it swayed gently, and despite being an ethereal form, it seemed to blend harmoniously with Wu Man'er, creating an indescribable harmony and beauty between them.

The area around it radiated an intense, pure plant spiritual energy, and her graceful figure complemented the tree shadow, making her appear like a plant charm spirit that had cultivated a human form.

Wu Man'er slowly closed her eyes, and as her hands brushed over the tree shadow, spots of light began to shimmer on it.

The two seemed to be engaged in some kind of communication.

A moment later, Wu Man'er slowly opened her eyes, the emerald green light in her pupils slowly faded away, and the tree shadow in front of her also dissipated into nothingness.

Everyone looked towards Wu Man'er, and her complexion seemed somewhat peculiar.

“What's wrong?” Wu Kuihu asked anxiously.

“Big Brother Shen… He, he seems to be absorbing the spirit tree's spiritual power…” Wu Man'er said hesitantly.

“What?” Yun Zhongting's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

“I knew this guy was up to no good. Now it seems I was right,” Yun Zhongyue immediately exclaimed.

Wu Kuihu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, doubt flickering in his eyes.

“Everybody, keep calm. Although… Although Big Brother Shen is absorbing the spirit tree's spiritual power, the spirit tree isn't rejecting him, and is even actively transferring spiritual energy into him. I believe Big Brother Shen means no harm, otherwise the spirit tree wouldn't act this way,” Wu Man'er said.

“But what on earth is he doing down there?” Yun Zhongting couldn't help but say.

“I think, Friend Shen might have encountered an opportunity and advanced in cultivation level, which is why he needs to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy to replenish his Dantian and meridians,” Jiang Shentian speculated.

Upon hearing this, everyone pondered for a bit and found it quite plausible, secretly amazed in their hearts.

“I don't think this is necessarily a good thing. His absorption of the spiritual power from the spirit tree, stirring the underground spiritual energy, may cause another outbreak of demonic qi, which can attract Unreal Demons or even Demonic Beings to emerge and attack the first layer,” Yun Zhongting said with some concern.

“That can't be, not much time has passed since those Demonic Beings last ran amok, and they also lost quite a bit of vitality. They can't possibly be attacking again so soon, can they?” Yun Zhongyue changed color slightly, somewhat in disbelief.

“How can the temperament of Demonic Beings be measured by common sense?” Yun Zhongting frowned as he spoke.

“No matter what, be prepared. If anything unforeseen happens, immediately activate the Fiery Silence Grand Array. We must not let those Demonic Beings occupy the first layer at any cost. Otherwise, our Divine Wood Clan would violate our ancestral teachings and fail to defend the Martial God Altar,” Wu Kuihu said sternly, issuing an order.

Although Jiang Shentian did not know what the Fiery Silence Grand Array was, he could sense the urgency and quickly asked, “What about Friend Shen?”

“By that time, he will have already been torn apart by the Demonic Beings, so there is no need to worry about what to do with him,” Yun Zhongting said coldly.

“Master, don't worry, Big Brother Shen will surely clear away the demonic qi and come back safely,” Wu Man'er also hurriedly implored.

“Man'er, now is not the time for emotions,” Wu Kuihu said without looking at her.

Wu Man'er knew that pleading was useless and could only silently pray for Shen Luo in her heart.
