The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242: Chapter 1239: Crossing Swords Chapter 1242: Chapter 1239: Crossing Swords “The situation is dire now; we can talk about the rest later!” Shen Luo had no time to go into detail with the Ghost General; a green light flashed across his body, and once again he used the Yimu Xuandun formation to disappear.

Quickly, the ground near the five frozen lands surged upward, forming five giant stone columns in an instant, and they continued to rapidly transform, sprouting heads, hands, and feet.

In just a few breaths' time, the five stone columns had turned into five giant armored warriors, who, although not as impressive as the Giant Titan in the center of the city walls, were nonetheless incredibly awe-inspiring.

The five giant warriors lifted fists the size of small mountains and struck fiercely at the five frozen lands.

In the thunderous noise of “Boom! Rumble!”, a mountain-destroying, sesplitting colossal force poured into the freezing ground. Without the support of Shen Luo's mana, the power of the underground ice significantly decreased, and the ice cracked into pieces under a single blow.

The yellow spiritual threads beneath the ground started to move again, and the Giant Titan, which had been stuck motionless, began to stir once more; its eyes rekindled with yellow spiritual light, shooting two thick beams of yellow light that swiftly landed on a spot within the city.

Shen Luo's figure appeared there, ignoring the descending yellow light pillars, and looked towards the top of the city walls with his eyes emitting a bright green light.

That place was also covered with countless yellow spirit patterns, although they were much dimmer than elsewhere.

When he had observed the changes in the city earlier, Shen Luo had surmised that this was a weak spot in the prohibition. Now, it seemed he was right.

Several muffled sounds came from afar, and with the movement of the Giant Titan inside the city, he knew that the frozen nodes had been broken. But it didn't matter now; the frozen nodes had already served their purpose.

Shen Luo twisted his fingers to cast a magic spell, his whole body's golden light surged, and in an instant, he expanded more than a hundred times in size, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall golden giant, surrounded by dazzling golden light. Five golden dragons and five golden elephants circled around him, with the roars of dragons and trumpeting of elephants shaking the heavens, as though he was a war god from the Heavenly Realm.

Raising his hand, a Xuan Huang Giant Rod appeared in his palm amidst a flash of golden light. With a whistling sound, the rod moved with his body, striking fiercely at the dimly lit area of spiritual light.

A vast expanse of yellow light emerged on the top of the city walls, trying to block the blow, but it was so frail against the Giant Rod that it shattered upon contact as if it were made of paper.

With a loud “Boom!”

A great pit, several dozen feet across, was blown into the top of the city walls. However, the depths of the pit were still densely covered with yellow spiritual threads.

Shen Luo was not surprised by this. The golden light on the giant rod in his hand brightened, and the five golden dragons and five golden elephants also wrapped around it. He struck fiercely at the bottom of the pit, intending to forcefully blast a passage out from here.

“Heh heh, the Huangting Technique is indeed the Sect Treasure of Mount Fangcun; it's truly powerful!” From within the coffin in the dim great hall, a voice that was half-appreciative and half-mocking sounded, and the yellow light on the coffin flashed briefly.

A flash of yellow light passed over the bottom of the big pit, and a yellow crystal bead appeared out of nowhere, radiating a bright and incomparable yellow light. All the yellow light from the spirit patterns around the city converged toward this place.

The yellow silk spirit patterns in the ground's soil brightened, and amid a series of muffled sounds, countless amounts of soil appeared out of thin air, filling up the big pit. The ceiling of the cave was instantly restored to its original state.

Not only that, but the converged yellow light also solidified into a thick yellow light curtain with mountainous figures faintly visible on it, looking indestructible.

This series of changes on the ceiling seemed complex but occurred in the blink of an eye. The yellow light on the light curtain flickered, awaiting the second attack from the Profound Yellow Staff.

But the whistling Profound Yellow Staff, just three inches away from the light curtain, came to a sudden stop, and with a “snap”, a hand pressed against the light curtain. It was Shen Luo's right palm.

Shen Luo's mouth curved into a slight smile as his right palm surged with blue light, fully activating the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique.

A torrent of ice-cold energy burst forth, instantly freezing the cave ceiling within hundreds of feet, transforming it into a layer of blue ice. The yellow crystal bead and converging yellow spiritual light were both sealed within.

“What!” A shocked exclamation echoed from within the coffin in the dim great hall, obviously not anticipating Shen Luo would take this action.

The lid of the coffin burst open with a loud “bang,” flying several feet high before crashing down heavily onto the ground.

A tall figure shot out from within, shrouded in black qi, rendering his face indiscernible. However, his physique was exceptionally large, with fingers sharp as knives, clearly some sort of monster.

The tall figure radiated a brilliant yellow light and, in a flash that lasted merely an instant, merged into the ground.

Shen Luo withdrew his hand, his face slightly pale; forcefully casting the spell to create ice had already drained much of his scarce remaining mana.

Yet, without pausing for breath, he mustered his energy and activated the Yi Mu Xian Dun formation. Disappearing in a flash of green light, he then reappeared on the other side of the city walls, looking up at the ceiling of the cave.

The spiritual light within those stone walls was also extremely dim, and due to the person in the coffin concentrating the power of the yellow spiritual threads' prohibitions on the previous area, the spiritual light here had almost faded to invisibility.

The weak spot in the spiritual threads he had previously detected was actually one of three. Just now, the first spot was merely a feint; he had drawn the attention and some defensive measures of the hidden adversary there, while his real target was the latter two spots.

Shen Luo took a deep breath, his hands forming seals, making a bizarre magic spell without hesitation, and activated the Xuan Yang Demonic Transformation Divine Power.

A swath of black light suddenly surged from his dantian, rapidly spreading to every part of his body, interlocking with the golden light on him, expanding like two suns of contrasting colors clashing and swelling.

Shen Luo's appearance changed drastically, his body instantly grew taller, the left half of his physique turned pitch black, while the right half shone with golden light, and an abnormal change occurred on his head as well, horns sprouting–one side a dark demonic horn and the other a golden dragon horn–his eyes mirroring the appearance of one immortal, one demon.

With an earth-shattering “boom,” a burst of mana ten times more intense than before resonated, causing the surrounding void to hum and tremble.

He grabbed the Profound Yellow Staff with a flip of his hand, which then radiated towering golden and black light, striking the cave's ceiling with a fleeting blow.

With a loud “bang” that rocked the heavens, the entire Underground City shook violently!

The stone wall before the giant rod seemed to have turned to rot, as it was smashed to create a pit tenfold larger than the previous one.

Having reached an advanced level of Cultivation with the Splashy Chaotic Stick, with a minor twist of his hands gripping the rod, the overwhelming stick energy instantly solidified into a force that continued to surge deeper.

A passageway was suddenly torn open through the rumbling depths of the pit, the endless yellow spiritual threads within the earth dispersed upon contact with the stick energy, plunging into the cave ceiling for hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye.

However, at that moment, a glint of spiritual light emerged from the earth ahead, and a thick yellow light curtain appeared out of nowhere.

The stick's force struck the light curtain, causing it to vibrate violently, its surface bursting with yellow light and emitting deep thundering sounds, yet it still managed to block the stick's force.
