“Die!” Shen Luo's eyes flashed with a cold glint as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire around his body suddenly brightened.

“`

“`

The dark shadow let out a deathly scream as it completely collapsed, dissolving into wisps of black light that merged into his body.

“`

“`

Shen Luo only felt a surge of pure Soul Power erupting from every part of his body, blending into his Divine Soul and significantly strengthening it in an instant. It was exactly the same as when he had used Red Lotus Karmic Fire to kill the two Soul Cultivators in the Refining Body Altar.

“`

“`

Having dealt with the shadow, his body fully recovered, and he increased his Mana to drive the Red Lotus Karmic Fire against the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire while his hands grasped at the Void.

“`

“`

The Golden Green Spirit Patterns on his arms lit up once more as streaks of Golden Lightning began to appear on his arms, quickly converging towards his palms where they coalesced into two spinning Golden Thunderballs, radiating an incredibly fearsome presence.

“`

“`

This was the Palm Thunder Technique he had learned from the Black Bear Demon, but its true power could only be unleashed by mastering a formidable thunder technique, which was why he had never used it before.

“`

“`

Shen Luo threw his hands forward, and the two thunderballs flashed with Golden Light before vanishing without a trace into the high sky. However, a thunderous, earth-shattering roar followed immediately.

“`

“`

Numerous thunder runes appeared midair, and two immense Golden Lightning columns, as thick as water jars, struck down, slicing into the Earth-shattering Corpse Fire.

“`

“`

Accompanied by a divine punishment-like aura of Heavenly Thunder, the Corpse Fire was split apart and extinguished with a sizzling sound.

“`

“`

Inside the Array, the Yellow Corpse's eyes flashed, revealing a pair of spirited red lights full of irritation. It opened its mouth and spat out four beams of yellow light into the four Iron Chains.

“`

“`

The Iron Chains binding Shen Luo's hands and feet glowed faintly with yellow light, and his essence blood suddenly began to shake violently, rushing towards the chains.

“`

“`

Shen Luo was shocked and channeled the Huangting Technique with all his might, his body suddenly bursting forth with a towering Golden Light.

“`

“`

Five Golden Dragons and five Golden Elephants appeared around him, roaring and swirling, causing a buzzing sound in the Void that made the whole great hall tremble.

“`

“`

Shen Luo yelled loudly, and his arms and legs convulsed simultaneously, unleashing a force several times greater than before from his body.

“`

“`

The entire Array twisted wildly, and with a series of cracking sounds, the four black Iron Chains were forcibly ripped out from within the Array, their yellow light fading away and no longer drawing his essence blood.

“`

“`

Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and pointed a finger at the Bloodthirsty Flag, and it came back to life, expanding into a massive dark cloud from which a huge, several-zhang-long black Ghost Claw emerged, wrapped in swathes of black Yin Fire and viciously grasping at the Sacrificial Array's red glow.

“`

“`

A tearing sound erupted, and the red glow of the Array was ripped open with a large hole. The black Ghost Claw reached straight for the Yellow Corpse.

“`

“`

After glaring at Shen Luo with malignance, the Yellow Corpse opened its mouth and spat out another mass of Earth-shattering Corpse Fire. However, this flame was much paler than before and with a sizzling noise, it turned the black Ghost Claw into nothingness, and it too dissolved into nothingness.

“`

“`

As the yellow light flashed over the Corpse's surface, the body rapidly fused into the Array, seemingly activating some Escape Technique.

“`

“`

“Don't escape!” Shen Luo's eyes turned cold as he changed the magic spell in his hand.

“`

“`

Beside the Yellow Corpse, a disturbance appeared in the Void, and from nowhere, a Crimson Sword Light slashed across it.

“`

“`

With a faint hissing sound, the Yellow Corpse was cut in half at the waist, but in the next moment, the wound flashed with yellow light and healed, unaffected as it continued to merge into the Array and disappeared in an instant.

“`

“`

Witnessing this scene, Shen Luo's face darkened. Just as he was about to act, his expression suddenly changed, and he closed his eyes to activate the Slayer's Broken Sword, the Coiling Dragon Wall, and the Fixed-element Relic to suppress the Demonic Qi within him.

“`

“`

This time, he only slightly stimulated the Demonic Qi and quickly suppressed it, then pinched his fingers to disperse the Golden Light from his body.

“`

“That was truly a close call. The corpse could actually use Earth-shattering Corpse Fire; thankfully, it had not mastered Heaven Fiend Corpse Fire, otherwise, we would have really been in danger,” the Ghost General flew over and said with lingering fear.

“Heaven Fiend Corpse Fire?” Shen Luo had not heard of this name before.

“Both Earth-shattering Corpse Fire and Heaven Fiend Corpse Fire are top divine powers in the art of corpse refinement. Although Earth-shattering Corpse Fire can devour nearly all vitality in the world, there are still some forces, such as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire you possess, Master, that can withstand it. But Heaven Fiend Corpse Fire can truly melt everything; it is said that it can even dissolve the void, beyond the resistance of ordinary monks like us,” said the Ghost General.

“These things, are they the remnants in that monk's memory?” Shen Luo asked, his expression slightly changing.

“Yes, but since the corpse has been slain by you, Master, there's no need to worry anymore,” the Ghost General said with a laugh.

“The corpse was not slain; it escaped using an escape technique,” Shen Luo said slowly.

Hearing this, the Ghost General stood there dumbfounded.

Just how capable Shen Luo was, he knew best. Just now, Shen Luo had already used most of his God's Power, yet he still failed to slay the corpse, which truly shocked him.

Shen Luo recalled the divine powers of that yellow corpse just now, and the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became. If it were not for the Demonic Qi he harbored within his body, he might have truly been doomed today. The combined attack from the ash-colored corpse and the shadowy figure was something very few could evade.

As for the Sacrificial Array on the ground, the fact that it could escape his Divine Sense was also quite horrifying.

He carefully inspected every part of the Array, memorizing all the Formation Patterns, intending to investigate them after he got out. Then, he made a magic spell gesture and pointed at the Dark Cloud above his head.

A flash of black light passed, and three black Ghost Claws shot out from it, clamping down on the Sacrificial Array and completely obliterating it with irresistible force, leaving in its place a black pit over thirty feet wide.

The Blood Fetus Stones within the Array were also destroyed and reduced to nothingness.

Seeing this, the Ghost General was stunned for a moment; he had not yet memorized all the Formation Patterns.

Shen Luo made another spell gesture, and the Dark Cloud swiftly shrank, transforming into the Bloodthirsty Flag, which disappeared into his sleeve.

The four Iron Chains that had entangled his limbs were now enveloped in Blue Light and hovered in front of him. These chains were pitch black throughout, with faint traces of blue light shining from within, suggesting they were far from ordinary.

“Is this… Nine-turn Steel?” Shen Luo examined them for a while and finally recognized what they were.

Nine-turn Steel was said to be a treasure that could only form by the infusion of countless essences of cold iron in an undersea Cold Iron Vein over tens of thousands of years, making it the best auxiliary material for strengthening Magical Treasures. Any magical instrument that incorporated some Nine-turn Steel would instantly become unimaginably sturdy and almost indestructible.

This Nine-turn Steel was also one of the three main materials of the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod in Dreamland; the other two main materials being Spirit Solar Iron and Nine Heavens Gold Essence. It was the combination of these three treasures that forged the mighty Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, which boasted immense power and could suppress thousands of evils.

His Profound Yellow Staff, which was modeled after the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, had so far been mixed only with some Spirit Solar Iron. This had already significantly increased its power, transforming it from a Top-Grade Magical Artifact into a Low-grade Magical Treasure, its might comparable to that of a Mid-grade Magical Treasure.

If he could integrate these pieces of Nine-turn Steel as well, the Profound Yellow Staff would certainly reach a new level of power.

“There's nothing left here, let's go,” Shen Luo said, pocketing the four Iron Chains and speaking to the Ghost General.

“This place is rife with such formidable ghosts; could Fu Donglai, acting alone, encounter danger?” the Ghost General asked.

“This place is sinister and unpredictable; it would be better not to rashly venture deeper,” Shen Luo pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
