The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1190

Chapter 1190: Chapter 187: Threat of Life and Death Chapter 1190: Chapter 187: Threat of Life and Death Shen Luo also perceived from the roar that it was the Nine-Headed Insect, his heart tightened, and without any hesitation, he flew away and appeared next to the Array light screen in a flash, taking out the Prohibition Breaking Array and starting to set it up with all his might.

“The Nine-Headed Insect! How is that possible?” A flash of blue light on the Ginkgo Divine Tree, and an enormous tongue the size of a city gate burst forth. It was the Bashe, whose face was filled with shock.

Shen Luo noticed the change in Bashe's expression and knew it wasn't feigned.

“It seems she didn't lure the Nine-Headed Insect here. So why has the Nine-Headed Insect suddenly come?” he thought to himself.

At this moment, Lian Shan was lying face-down on the ground of the Great Formation, looking extremely pained. However, the cheek pressed against the ground had somehow turned blood red, as if blood would drip from it at any moment.

A strange, blood-colored rune appeared on Lian Shan's forehead, gently flickering.

This Lian Shan was a Blood Jiao from the Flood Dragon race, an extremely rare kind that could transform its essence blood into demon power. The Gray-haired Old Man was unaware of this and merely used the Ghostly Blue Needle to completely bind Lian Shan's mana, but did not restrict Lian Shan's blood Qi, which still allowed him to act.

“Wait until the Master arrives; you will all have no place to bury yourselves!” A fierce smile appeared on the corner of Lian Shan's mouth.

Above the clouds of yellow, Shen Luo couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation at the moment and immediately gave up the futile speculation. He continued setting up the Prohibition Breaking Array with one hand while the other operated the yellow array flags, targeting the Yellow Cloud Prohibition.

A beam of light as thick as a water bucket shot out from within the array flag, striking the Yellow Cloud Prohibition. The yellow clouds on the prohibition instantly began to disperse rapidly. After a few breaths, not only had the previously conjured yellow clouds completely vanished, but the original Yellow Cloud Prohibition had also thinned considerably.

The Mirage Demon and Bashe, upon seeing Shen Luo's actions, were at first startled, but quickly understood and offered no objections.

The people of He Mountain Sect below had also heard the rapidly approaching roar and, although they were frightened, they did not stop their efforts to break the Formation.

Just then, the Yellow Cloud Light Screen above their heads suddenly emitted a low, roaring sound and quickly became thinner, especially the part where the Breaking Ban Beads' purple light was attacking, which was now so thin it was nearly transparent. One could vaguely see the situation above.

The Great Elder was both shocked and delighted, no longer concerned about potential traps, and vigorously spurred the Breaking Ban Beads. A purple light pillar struck the transparent area fiercely, and with a muffled 'puff', the Yellow Cloud Light Screen was easily broken, ripping open a huge hole several zhang wide.

The people of He Mountain Sect were momentarily stunned, then rejoiced, following the Great Elder as they shot through the big hole. In the blink of an eye, they all arrived above the yellow clouds and, seeing the situation here, their expressions changed.

The Ginkgo Divine Tree had turned into a bare, leafless tree, looking quite desolate; standing atop the tree were two True Immortal stage demon beasts with sky-reaching demon Qi, any one of which was enough to shock them.

“Friend Tian, what's going on?” Shen Luo was not hiding his actions, and was hurriedly setting up the Prohibition Breaking Array nearby. The people of He Mountain Sect saw him at a glance. The Great Elder asked in a deep voice.

As for the rest of He Mountain Sect, they looked warily towards the Mirage Demon and Bashe.

At this moment, most of Bashe's body was still inside the Divine Tree, with the trunk of the tree surrounding it flashing with golden light, which showed that it was still desperately drawing on the power of the Divine Tree to break the prohibition inside its body.

The Great Elder, too wary of these two True Immortal stage demon beasts, though speaking with Shen Luo, was mostly focused on the two demons.

“Great Elder, now is not the time to attend to that matter. Everyone heard the howl just now, didn't you? That belongs to the overlord of Yunmeng Marsh, the Nine-Headed Insect, whose cultivation has reached the late True Immortal Stage. We must work together to break the prohibition now, otherwise, once it arrives, there will be no place for anyone to be buried!” Shen Luo spoke urgently.

Upon hearing this, the members of He Mountain Sect turned pale as they heard the terrifying howls drawing nearer outside, and all eyes turned to the Great Elder.

As the most advanced in cultivation, the Great Elder naturally sensed the terror of the owner of the howl outside first. Although he was annoyed that Shen Luo and the others had swept away all the Ginkgo Spirit Fruits, he also understood that now was not the time to quibble with them.

“Fine, I'll lend you a hand,” he said solemnly, his figure flickering as he landed next to Shen Luo to help him set up the Array.

With the aid of the Great Elder, Shen Luo's speed of forming the Array greatly increased, and it was completed within a few breaths.

At the edge of the sky outside the Qiankun Xuanjin Great Formation, a glint of black flickered. A black and red Escape Light shot forth incredibly swiftly, arriving nearby in the blink of an eye, revealing the figure of the Nine-Headed Insect.

At this moment, its body surged with black and red light, and the Demonic Qi it emitted was even more powerful than before, with its aura completely stabilized, indicating that its injuries had fully healed.

Dozens of Demon Soldiers had already gathered outside the Great Formation, all of them were those who had come in response to Bashe's summons earlier. However, these Demon Soldiers were not strong in cultivation, with the most powerful among them only at the Early Mahayana Stage. They couldn't enter the Qiankun Xuanjin Great Formation and were blocked outside.

“Master!” When the Nine-Headed Insect appeared, the Demon Soldiers promptly bent forward in salute.

Without paying attention to those Demon Soldiers, the Nine-Headed Insect looked forward in astonishment and rage at the Great Formation but didn't instantly dive into it.

Although he was the one who refined this Great Formation, the main Array flag had been given to Bashe, and without it, he could not freely enter the Formation. He had already tried to contact Bashe several times just now but for some unknown reason had not received any response.

A short distance away from the Nine-Headed Insect and the other demons, a tender sprig of Green Small Grass appeared in an inconspicuous corner, flickering with a faint Spiritual Light, seemingly just an ordinary Spirit Grass.

Under the enormous aura of the Nine-Headed Insect, the surface of the Green Small Grass flashed with Spiritual Light, and the tender blades of grass contracted slightly.

At the Upper Layer of the Qiankun Xuanjin Great Formation, the Great Elder of He Mountain Sect took out a Breaking Ban Bead, preparing to break the prohibition, but Shen Luo extended a hand to stop him.

“The Nine-Headed Insect has already reached the outside of the Formation. Great Elder, please wait a moment. Elder Bashe, I return this item to you, please create some disturbances in the Lower Frontier that can be detected from outside. Also, Great Elder, those Array flags for the Great Formation held by the other two demons, I ask you to retrieve them and hand them to your sect's Elders, to coordinate with Elder Bashe later in activating this Formation,” Shen Luo handed back the main Array flag to Bashe and said swiftly.

“You can see what's happening outside the Formation?” Bashe was taken aback upon hearing this, and so were the Great Elder and the others, showing surprised expressions.

The Qiankun Xuanjin Great Formation is indeed mysterious. Once the Formation is activated, the inside and outside are completely isolated; neither Divine Sense nor Mana can penetrate it. Bashe was able to see the members of He Mountain Sect trying to break the prohibition because she held the main Array flag and also possessed an ancient magical artifact, which allowed her to barely peek through. However, the power stored within that artifact had now been depleted, and it couldn't be used a second time in the short term.

“You could say that. Although we have many people here, numbers are useless against an unparalleled great demon like the Nine-Headed Insect. We need to find a way to use this Great Formation to trap it for a moment so that we might have a chance to escape safely,” Shen Luo gave a vague response before swiftly changing the subject.

“Understood.” The Great Elder was a decisive person and nodded without hesitation. He took out the Array flags obtained from the two demons of Lianshan Guicang and distributed them to Poison Lady, Gray-haired Old Man, and the Proud Youth.
