The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1234

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1231: Restraint Chapter 1234: Chapter 1231: Restraint “Sacrificial magic has always been a heretical method since ancient times, grievously harming the natural order. Don't delude yourself into thinking I'd employ such a method to amplify your strength,” Shen Luo said gravely.

“How could I harbor such ideas? I'm merely genuinely interested in the sacrificial method,” the Ghost General said with a forced laugh.

Shen Luo snorted and no longer paid attention to the increasingly eager Ghost General, giving the corpse a few glances before quickly shifting his gaze to the four iron chains on the corpse's body.

He suddenly let out a light exclamation and was about to take a closer look.

A bizarre scene unfolded!

The corpse that had been motionless suddenly raised its head and spewed out a swath of gray-white flames–in as many as seven or eight clusters–swiftly aiming for Shen Luo.

Shen Luo was startled. Just now, he had thoroughly examined the corpse with his Divine Sense; it had long been thoroughly annihilated, with not a trace of breath left. He had somehow misjudged.

The distance between them was but a few meters, and the gray-white flames were fast. In the blink of an eye, they were upon him, a putrid stench assaulting his face.

Though taken by surprise, Shen Luo immediately reacted, leaping backward while simultaneously swinging his right hand forward.

Wind and Thunder Spirit Patterns emerged on his right arm, and a Green Wind Blade accompanied by Golden Lightning shot out from his hand, colliding with the gray-white flames.

The gray-white flames seemed to be Corpse Fire condensed from Corpse Air. The Green Wind Blade was one thing, but the Golden Lightning should certainly have been able to restrain them with ease.

However, an astonishing scene occurred. With a crackling sound, the gray-white flames pierced through the Wind Blade and Lightning with effortless ease. The gray-white light flashed, and all traces of the Green Wind Blade and Golden Lightning vanished, instantaneously absorbed by the gray-white flames.

The gray-white flames surged instantly, and their speed greatly increased as they continued hurtling forward.

“What!” Shen Luo grew alarmed and flicked a finger toward the top of the Bloodthirsty Flag.

The Bloodthirsty Flag radiated black light, and a vast expanse of black Yin Fire spewed forth, colliding with the gray-white flames.

Immediate “sizzling” sounds filled the air, and upon contact, the black Yin Fire, though tenfold in number, seemed like subjects before an emperor, unable to even lift their heads and rapidly consumed by the gray-white flames.

“Master, be careful! These gray-white flames are Earth-shattering Corpse Fire, capable of devouring and melting nearly all vitality in this world. You must not let it come into contact with your body!” the Ghost General, having flown over as well, exclaimed, spewing countless Black Sound Waves at the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire.

Although the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire was fearsome, the black Yin Fire from the Bloodthirsty Flag was more than tenfold in quantity. With the addition of the Ghost General's Sound Waves, they barely managed to hold it at bay.

At that moment, a black light flickered on the ground behind them, and a black shadow shot out with incredible speed, directly lunging at Shen Luo's back.

Shen Luo was fully focused on dealing with the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire and only became startled when the black shadow neared within a meter of him. His feet exuded bright Moonlight Glamour as he quickly dodged to the side, while at the same time, he directed the Bloodthirsty Flag with a hand gesture.

The banner flashed with black light, and the previously seen black Ghost Hand burst out, grabbing the shadow with unerring precision.

The black Yin Fire on the Ghost Hand surged, and the black shadow let out a piercing scream. Nearly half of its body “pfft” turned to green smoke and disappeared, but the remaining half twisted like a fish, breaking free from the black Ghost Hand and vanished into Shen Luo's body with a blink.

Shen Luo felt a chill throughout his body, unable to move even a finger, his Mana as though frozen, immobile.

“This is…” He was suddenly alarmed, instantly recalling the time in the Underworld when two Soul Cultivators of the Refining Body Altar had possessed him. The sensation was strikingly similar, except the black shadow now controlling him was far more formidable than those Refining Body Platform Soul Cultivators.

Shen Luo's mana was imprisoned, the dissipating black light on the Bloodthirsty Flag quickly faded, and the flag itself flickered back to its original size, dropping to the ground with a “clatter”.

As for those black Yin Fires, they dissipated rapidly, and after a few breaths, they vanished completely.

With the obstruction of the black Yin Fires gone, the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire easily swallowed the Black Sound Waves emitted by the Ghost General and continued to envelop Shen Luo's body.

The Yellow Corpse's withered lips moved rapidly, seemingly chanting an incantation. The ground's Sacrificial Array suddenly burst forth with a vast expanse of crimson light, beginning to operate swiftly.

The four Iron Chains that originally bound the Corpse vanished into thin air, and with a “snap”, they wrapped around Shen Luo's limbs, pulling him toward the Array.

“Master!” the Ghost General exclaimed in surprise, pouring all the Ghostly Qi in his body into his hands, and with a combined slap, launched it outward.

With a “boom”, a gigantic Ghost Claw entwined with black Qi appeared in front of Shen Luo, fiercely striking the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire.

At the same time, another huge Ghost Claw manifested above the four Chains, reaching down to grab them.

Though the Chains appeared old, when the powerful Ghost Claw grasped them, it only sparked a few sparks; the Chains remained completely unharmed, not even a scratch was left.

The other Ghost Claw entwined with black Qi touched the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire and was immediately corroded full of holes, on the verge of total collapse.

Seeing this, the Ghost General had no choice but to channel all his Yin Power into the black Qi Ghost Claw, struggling to maintain it for even a breath longer.

At this moment, Shen Luo was unable to move at all, his body continuously pulled toward the Array, but he did not panic; his eyes closed and then suddenly snapped open.

A piercing red light surged in his pupils, and a surge of tumultuous black light erupted from his body, which was unmistakably Demonic Qi.

Ever since he had comprehended the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation Art, he had been able to invoke the Demonic Qi in his body relatively freely, without the need for external stimuli; a stimulation of his Divine Sense was all it took.

The shadowy figure had imprisoned his body's mana, but Demonic Qi was entirely different from mana. In fact, it somewhat resembled the shadow's eerie power and was unaffected by its influence.

With the outburst of Demonic Qi, a terrifying Corpse Air swept through, primarily impacting the attached black shadow on his body.

Being a Soul body, the oppression of the Corpse Air especially affected the shadow, which let out a series of ghastly screams, shivering incessantly, and its control over Shen Luo greatly weakened.

Shen Luo's mana within his body loosened significantly, and he regained control over his body. Digging his legs into the ground, his physique–having reached the Fifth Layer of the Huangting Technique–resisted the pull of the Chains and he stood firmly on the ground.

At this point, the Ghost General's gigantic Ghost Claw finally couldn't hold out any longer. It was completely turned into ashes by the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire, its Yin Qi also devoured, causing the Corpse Fire to soar and surge toward Shen Luo.

Shen Luo's pupils constricted. He did not activate the Bloodthirsty Flag on the ground but instead channeled all his mana into the Pure Yang Sword in his Dantian.

A howling sound rose, and a vast sea of crimson flames burst forth from his Dantian, blooming like an enraged lotus–it was the Red Lotus Karmic Fire–and it clashed with the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire.

Crimson and gray-white lights flared intensely, colliding with each other, scattering large and small remnants of flames around, momentarily resulting in a standoff.

Shen Luo heaved a sigh of relief; his choice was indeed correct. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire was Heavenly Fire and was indeed capable of contesting the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire.

With the Red Lotus Karmic Fire ignited, the black shadow within him let out an extremely fearful wail, immediately attempting to flee. However, strands of Red Lotus Karmic Fire shot toward it, entangling the shadow like ropes.
