The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1317

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1314: City Shattered Chapter 1317: Chapter 1314: City Shattered Although the Demon Heart had lost all its spiritual wisdom, its combat instinct remained. It seemed to sense the might of the Puppet City and, with a low growl, the bone staff in its hand grew large in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a massive staff of twenty or thirty feet long and struck down at the Puppet City.

“No matter who you are, daring to strike at me with a demonic artifact, hand over your divine soul as well!” Ghost Yan saw this and a flash of ferocity appeared in his eyes. He opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of vitality into the Puppet City.

The Puppet City shone with a frenzy of golden light, the massive city walls instantly transformed, turning into a dark golden giant peak, exuding even greater might, fiercely smashing towards the blood-colored giant staff.

The collision between the giant peak and the bone staff produced a thunderous noise that shook the ground and the sky within a hundred miles, and the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi surged even more wildly.

The originally invincible golden giant peak crumbled like rotten wood, breaking into countless dark golden fragments, and was actually blasted apart by the blood-colored bone staff in a single strike.

Ghost Yan appeared behind the giant peak, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief.

The blood-colored bone staff, having shattered the Puppet City, suddenly emitted vast swathes of blood light, engulfing most of the fragments of the Puppet City. The spiritual power within those fragments was completely absorbed, and the blood light on the staff suddenly blazed brightly.

A shocking screech sounded as a blood-red rainbow hundreds of feet long shot out from the head of the staff, whistling forward, its tail light sweeping across Ghost Yan's body.

The blood-red rainbow burst with tremendous force; Ghost Yan's body violently exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which was then all absorbed by the rainbow.

In just one or two breaths, the nearly earth-shattering Puppet City and the half-step Taiyi Ghost Yan had completely vanished.

Shen Luo happened to be escaping from the Yin Yang Cave at this moment, and seeing this scene, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

He had already estimated the power of the blood-colored bone staff as highly as possible, but now it seemed he had still underestimated it.

The blood-red rainbow continued to shoot forward, in a flash striking the Yin Yang Cave.

The mountain wall of the Yin Yang Cave crumbled easily like paper before the rainbow, which then vanished into the Yin Yang Cave in a flash.

Soon, a thunderous “boom” came from within the Yin Yang Cave, followed by violent trembling in the nearby void. Instead of subsiding after a few breaths, the trembling became increasingly intense.

“That direction… no good!” Shen Luo was startled and then his face showed a look of terror as he flew out from the ground, turning into a streak of crimson sword light, fleeing with all his might into the distance.

“Get away from here quickly!” The Little Master also immediately reacted, calling out to the disciples of Tianji City to leave.

But before they could get far, an even larger rumble came from behind them. The whole Yin Yang Cave suddenly bulged outwards before completely collapsing and disintegrating.

The space around the cave also shattered completely, like a broken mirror, and deep within that mirror-like space, one could faintly see a massive white spatial rift stretching over ten miles long.

The spatial rift emanated an immense swallowing force, instantly devouring the collapsing Yin Yang Cave, and Shen Luo and the others were also caught in this suction, “whooshing” all at once into it.

In the instant before being sucked into the spatial rift, the Little Master roared angrily, the Golden Immortal Armor appeared on his body, shooting out vast golden light that enveloped all the Tianji City disciples.

Shen Luo, looking at the bottomless spatial rift, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat, also shouted loudly, raising the Bloodthirsty Flag and the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, with one red and one golden light shielding his body.

Having just done this, he was sucked into the spatial rift. An immense pressure swept over him, and even with his current physical strength, his vision went black immediately, and he fell unconscious.

After an unknown amount of time spent in oblivion, Shen Luo slowly awoke, lying in a desolate desert. Around him was nothing but endless yellow sand, and the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet and Bloodthirsty Flag magical treasures lay beside him, their spiritual light dim, looking severely damaged.

The Qiankun Bag and Free and Easy Mirror also had faint spiritual light, and inside them, Ghost General, Mirror Fiend, Purple Bamboo, Fu Donglai, and others were all in a state of unconsciousness.

The ground temperature of the surrounding sand sea was very high, and the familiar hot wind rushed towards him. His divine sense searched the area and discovered some coarse ruins of buildings, which seemed to be the Boundless Sand Sea.

“Have I already emerged from that Black Abyss Mystery Cave?” Shen Luo rejoiced, wanting to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his muscles and bones, and his internal organs felt as if they were on fire. His body had sustained severe injuries, and his Dantian power was almost depleted.

“The injuries are so severe, but escaping from the ghostly place that is the Black Abyss Mystery Cave is worth it,” he muttered to himself. He summoned the remaining mana to draw a healing pill and a manrestoring elixir from the Linlang Ring and took them both, circulating his energy to refine them.

His mana quickly recovered a significant amount, after which he activated the Great Unsealing Technique to work with the healing pill and repair his physical injuries.

Shen Luo's injuries were too severe this time. It took half a day to recover nearly half of his wounds, but fortunately, he was able to move without issue.

Not knowing how far he was from the Black Abyss Mystery Cave or whether enemies would appear, he dared not linger and soared into the sky, fleeing into the distance.

He hadn't flown far when Shen Luo's brows suddenly twitched, and he shot toward the left front, quickly descending into a desert basin.

Many black stones scattered throughout the basin emitted a strong Yin Qi, clearly the stones from the Yin Yang Cave. Apart from the black stones, there were also some dark golden blocks containing Yan Patterns and emanating bursts of spiritual power fluctuations.

Shen Luo recognized these things as fragments of the Puppet City.

The other fragments were one thing, but there was also a section of a dark golden stone stele that had fallen here, which was the upper half of that Doll stele. However, the spirit patterns on it had completely dimmed, and no spiritual power fluctuations could be detected.

“The core prohibition Doll stele is also broken in two. It looks like the Puppet City is truly destroyed,” Shen Luo muttered to himself, his gaze suddenly sharp, as he flicked a finger at the stele in front of him.

A streak of red Sword Qi split the stele in two, and a flat, pale yellow round bead rolled out, which was the Gathering God Pearl.

Shen Luo's eyes showed a hint of surprise. This object could store an immense amount of divine souls and was a rare treasure. Even the Little Master showed great shock upon seeing this pearl back then. Unexpectedly, it was here.

He waved his hand and cast a Blue Light, carefully wrapping the Gathering God Pearl. Seeing that there was no danger, he then held it in his hand.

The pearl was slightly cool to the touch, its surface draped in a layer of pale yellow light, and one could faintly discern some mysterious patterns on it, resembling some kind of Mysterious Formation, looking very beautiful.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Luo started infusing the pearl with his spiritual power.

The pale yellow light surrounding the Gathering God Pearl suddenly brightened, and a bizarre fluctuation shot out from it, instantly spreading hundreds of feet around.

Shen Luo was swept by this fluctuation, causing his divine soul in his mind to tremble, with a tendency to leave his body and move towards the Gathering God Pearl.

Alarmed, he quickly activated the Suppressing God Technique to stabilize his divine soul.

Some sand lizards and scorpions underground were also swept by this fluctuation. Lacking Shen Luo's mighty divine soul and knowledge of the Suppressing God Technique, their bodies trembled and they perished on the spot. Specks of divine soul light drifted out from their bodies toward the Gathering God Pearl.

“So that's how it is. It seems this pearl has the ability to collect divine souls,” Shen Luo observed, his eyes flickering.

It's very likely that Ghost Yan used this pearl to slaughter the Langxia Kingdom, absorbing the divine souls of all its people.

Gazing at the Gathering God Pearl in his hand, his expression was somewhat complex.

Although the pearl appeared as a spiritual object, it was extremely sinister, rivaling none less than the Devouring Element Magic Wand.

However, Shen Luo was not versed in the Yan Technique, nor did he need to collect the power of divine souls, so this object was of no use to him. He tucked it away and looked toward the fragments of the Puppet City before him.
