The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1311

Chapter 1311: Chapter 1308: The True Purpose Chapter 1311: Chapter 1308: The True Purpose “I didn't expect there would be a Demonic Array here as well, and of such a massive scale at that. Could it be sealing some kind of Demonic Artifact inside?” Shen Luo thought to himself, as his Divine Sense probed toward it.

However, as soon as he approached the Demonic Array, an incredibly tenacious force blocked him, preventing him from advancing even the slightest bit past the Thunder Pool.

Although his Divine Sense was unable to penetrate it, he could still sense some details about the Demonic Array before him. It was intact and possessed astonishing power, completely sealing the space within the formation. It was no less formidable than the prohibitions at the edge of Puppet City, and it would not be easy to enter and retrieve the treasure.

Nevertheless, Shen Luo wasn't interested in the items within the stone pillar to begin with and soon diverted his gaze, suggesting to the Little Master that they should leave this place.

They had already gained a lot from this trip, and the area was fraught with danger. Any further delay and once Ghost Yan completely took control of Puppet City, everyone would be on a path to certain death. It was best to leave quickly.

The Little Master had also noticed the Demonic Array and the stone pillar deep in the cave. After a focused look, she said nothing but agreed without hesitation to Shen Luo's suggestion.

Both of them used their God's Power to conceal themselves and fled towards the outside.

“By the way, just now, aside from the Devouring Element Magic Wand, there was something else that reacted to the Demonic Array. What was it?” Shen Luo suddenly recalled the situation and sent his Divine Sense into the Linlang Ring, his expression changing to one of surprise.

He had assumed it was the Ghost Pearl, that Demonic Artifact, but it was not. Instead, what the Demonic Array had responded to was the black sphere he had obtained from the Hundred Cry Beast.

The black sphere was now emitting waves of black aurora, its black shell peeling away rapidly. In a few breaths, its shape had changed drastically, transforming into a black Copper Ring.

“That black sphere was actually a black Demon Ring,” Shen Luo's eyes widened slightly.

The black Copper Ring's surface faintly revealed strands of black flames, truly Demonic Flames, which were continuously striking the Linlang Ring, seemingly eager to shoot out, just like the Devouring Element Magic Wand.

“It's one thing for the Black Demon Ring, but the Devouring Element Magic Wand came from that stone stele. The Demonic Array around the stele is quite similar to the one we've seen before–could there be some sort of connection between the two?” he speculated.

But at that moment, a massive black shadow suddenly flew towards them head-on, crashing down like Mount Tai onto Shen Luo and the Little Master–it was unmistakably the giant Yin Beast beneath the Blood Skull Ancestor.

Shen Luo and the Little Master were startled and quickly dodged aside.

With a loud “boom,” the giant Yin Beast slammed heavily onto the ground, the Earth shaking. Several nearby Yin Beasts were crushed into dust and didn't open their eyes again in death.

The giant Yin Beast itself appeared weak, with large, foot-sized purple-black spots becoming visible on its body, suggesting it was afflicted with some sort of potent poison. Despite its struggles, it failed to stand up again.

Shen Luo was inwardly shocked. The giant elephant was a Yin Beast by nature, naturally resistant to most potent poisons, and it was vast in size with cultivation at the True Immortal Stage. What kind of virulent poison could have taken it down in an instant?

An enraged roar also came from ahead. A figure, enveloped in blood, descended from the sky and crashed near the giant Yin Beast–it was none other than the Blood Skull Ancestor.

“Blood Skull Ancestor!” Shen Luo looked up towards the direction ahead.

With immense strength, who could have the power to send the Blood Skull Ancestor flying?

In mid-air stood Demon Heart, Huangsha Gate Yuan Ming, the Fat man from the Thick Earth Sect, and the Lady in Green from the Beast-Control Sect, shoulder to shoulder.

Yuan Ming was holding a black box, half-open, emitting a faint black light. It was unclear what treasure it was.

Next to him, Demon Heart held the Blood Devil Saber, now grown to several zhang in size, as red as blood with an aura reaching the sky, and a dense, incomparably strong stench of blood enveloped the area for dozens of zhang around them.

“Blood Devil Saber! It's you!” Blood Skull Ancestor leaped up from the ground, roaring out in anger as if he recognized Demon Heart.

Purple-black spots also appeared on Blood Skull Ancestor's body, clinging like heel maggots to his blood-colored skeleton, revealing he too had been struck by an intense poison. His formidable aura became incredibly disordered, and it had weakened a great deal.

Shen Luo's brows rose slightly. This Blood Skull Ancestor seemed to be a skeleton transformed, without blood or flesh, even more resistant to deadly poison than normal Yin Beasts, yet he had also been poisoned.

However, Blood Skull Ancestor being poisoned was a good thing for him; leaving this place just became much easier.

He turned to slip away, attempting to bypass the others and continue sneaking out, but was stopped by Little Master's raised hand.

“Friend Shen, please wait a moment. Demon Heart and this Blood Skull Ancestor seem to be entangled. This person has been stirring up trouble in the Boundless Sand Sea, both overtly and covertly targeting Tianji City. I cannot rest easy without clarifying his purpose for coming to Black Abyss Mystery Cave,” Little Master transmitted his message.

“It isn't much of an issue for us to stay behind, but if Ghost Yan completely takes control of Puppet City…” Shen Luo hesitated.

“You need not worry. Just now, when I was refining the Doll Stele in Puppet City, I made a small tweak inside it. Although it can't stop Ghost Yan from refining the Doll Stele, it will certainly increase the time he needs for the process,” Little Master explained.

Relieved at hearing this, Shen Luo also became quite curious about Demon Heart and the others' purpose for being here, so he nodded and agreed.

“Blood Skull, you've occupied this place for years, advancing your cultivation level using that treasure. It's been enough years, hasn't it? Hand over this place obediently, or don't blame my merciless blade!” Demon Heart sneered.

“I should have thought of it; why so many people suddenly flooded into Black Abyss Mystery Cave. It was all your doing,” Blood Skull Ancestor said coldly.

At these words, Shen Luo's expression subtly changed.

He had long felt that the assembly of Tianji City's people, along with members from the Yellow Sand Sect and the Thick Earth Sect in Black Abyss Mystery Cave, was quite peculiar–as if someone was manipulating everything from the shadows. If what Blood Skull Ancestor said was true, could it all be Demon Heart's doing?

Demon Heart just sneered, made a hand gesture to the Blood Devil Saber, and vanished along with it in a flash. The next moment, he appeared out of nowhere above Blood Skull Ancestor's head, slashing down from the air.

The blood light on the Blood Devil Saber instantly condensed into a terrifyingly massive saber shadow tens of feet in length, cleaving down from above. The force of the blow looked set to split Blood Skull Ancestor in two.

Yuan Ming, Fat Man, and the Green-clothed Young Woman saw this and threw themselves into the fray as well. Two yellow short halberds, a yellow big shield, and a cloud of five-colored poisonous fog all shot toward Blood Skull Ancestor simultaneously.

Blood Skull Ancestor bellowed in rage, his right hand clenched into a fist, becoming a thick blood light that he pounded upwards, colliding with the giant saber of the Blood Devil.

Simultaneously, a blood light erupted from his body, instantly suppressing the purple-black poison spots, and a series of blood-red skull apparitions shot out from within the blood light toward Demon Heart, Yuan Ming, and the others.

Demon Heart and the others had already experienced the ferocity of the blood-red skull apparitions, so they dodged like they were avoiding poisonous snakes.

The bone wings on Blood Skull Ancestor's back flared with blood light, and his massive figure turned into a blood shadow. In a “whoosh,” he flew out of the encirclement and sped unimaginably fast toward the depths of the Yin Cave.

“Quick, chase him! Don't let him activate that treasure!” Demon Heart's expression changed dramatically as he barked an order.

Before the words were fully uttered, he was the first to give chase, with Yuan Ming and the others hurrying after him.

“Shall we go too?” Seeing this, Shen Luo asked Little Master's opinion through a spiritual transmission.
