The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1363

Chapter 1363: Chapter 1360: Salvation Chapter 1363: Chapter 1360: Salvation At this moment, the golden light pillar at the center of the Heavenly Pit had become extremely dim, covered in what seemed like rust, bloodstains everywhere–clumps of dark red that were repellent to the eye.

Flower Ten Women stood to the side, her face breaking into a smile, filled with satisfaction.

“Almost there, begin the final chant,” she ordered the surrounding demons with a light shout.

“Yes,” the demons responded in unison.

Then, a rather coordinated chanting began to rise from around the Heavenly Pit, and the golden light pillar at the center immediately lit up.

However, the glow did not emit from the pillar itself, but from the blood-red rust that clung to it.

As the blood light grew more intense, a decaying odor spread from it, and the entire golden light pillar, as if devoured by countless ants and bugs, began to collapse and break apart in the light.

Finally, the last layer of prohibition protecting the remnants of Mount Fangcun's soldiers was breached.

“Kill…”

Before Flower Ten Women could give the command, a murderous chant erupted from deep within the Heavenly Pit.

Following that, Elder Xingqiong, leading the remaining disciples of Lingbo City, charged up from the Lower Frontier first, leaping out of the Heavenly Pit.

They were to fulfill their promise, to die in battle before the disciples of Mount Fangcun.

But the moment they burst out of the Heavenly Pit, they all froze on the spot, only to see hundreds, thousands of Demon Clan people haphazardly scattered on the ground around the pit.

Some bled from the mouth and nose, some convulsed uncontrollably, and many with lower cultivation levels had already died completely.

This scene baffled not just them but even Flower Ten Women, who stood staring agape. In a trance, she hastily checked her palm, only to discover traces of dark green lines emerging–evidently, she had been poisoned.

“When? Who administered the poison?” Flower Ten Women was shocked, utterly perplexed.

She clasped her hands together, secretly activating a secret method. Blood arrows burst forth from both of her index fingers, the blood dark purple and foul-smelling.

At the same time, an explosion sounded high above, countless ice crystals shattered, and a hailstorm began to pour down.

Yet as the hail shattered, it dissolved into nothingness before it could even reach the ground.

Shen Luo broke free from the Ice Seal, and his gaze immediately fell on the breached prohibition of the Heavenly Pit and the disciples of Mount Fangcun emerging one after another.

He quickly leapt down to a spot on the ground and, after a brief search, picked up a black long box from the dirt, snapped the open lid back in place, and tucked it away with a flip of his hand.

This black long box was none other than the demonic artifact, the Plague Spreader Box.

Earlier, Shen Luo had pretended that it contained a secret technique, opening the box in front of Chi Rong to inspect, just so he could naturally activate the Plague Spreader Box. Otherwise, taking out the box for no reason would have surely drawn the enemy's attention.

And the outcome was as he expected–no one paid attention to the black box he tossed aside, allowing it to continue dispersing the plague poison below, infecting those Demon Clan warriors.

It was just unfortunate that such a large-scale release of the plague poison was compromised in speed and effect, so much so that it failed to take down all the demons before the Heavenly Pit's prohibition was broken.

“Was it you who pulled this trick?” Flower Ten Women, seeing Shen Luo's actions, asked with a mix of skepticism and belief.

Shen Luo merely smiled noncommittally and did not respond.

He saw the Bodhi Ancestor follow everyone else in leaping out of the Heavenly Pit and hurriedly went to greet him.

Seeing this, the disciples of Mount Fangcun lowered their heads, some feeling guilty and not daring to meet Shen Luo's eyes.

“Ancestor, how are you holding up?” asked Shen Luo, who didn't seem to care about these things and quickly stepped forward to inquire.

The Bodhi Ancestor looked at Shen Luo, his heart filled with emotions, but he just shook his head, momentarily at a loss for words.

“The Ancestor was first poisoned by Jue Ming Jue An over a long period, then attacked suddenly, already severely injured, and then fought fiercely against the Golden Wings Large Peng to cover our escape. We need to treat these injuries as soon as possible to prevent them from getting worse…” Elder Gui sighed and said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo looked grave. With their current situation, escape seemed very difficult.

“Friend Shen, I'm sorry. We were blinded before and believed the lies of that bastard Juewu, which harmed you. Fortunately, you are safe and sound. We will accept any punishment you see fit,” said Elder Wuchen, stepping forward with a fist salute.

“Now is not the time for such talk. Those Demon Race minions have already been struck down by the plague poison I released, although it's a pity the toxin was too scattered to affect the Golden Wings Large Peng and the others. However, if everyone disperses and flees, there is still a chance of survival,” Shen Luo said.

“Disperse? No way!” Elder Wuchen declared decisively upon hearing this.

“In that case, those demons will certainly focus on hunting down the Ancestor. What's the point if we manage to escape to the heavens?” Elder Gui also shook his head.

“Stop arguing, you take the Bodhi Ancestor and leave. I'll stop the pursuers,” Elder Xingqiong, eager to redeem himself and prepared to meet his death, said hastily.

“Boom”

While they were still speaking, a figure flew sharply from midair and crashed down in front of them, instantly creating a huge pit on the ground.

Shen Luo looked up and saw the Golden Wings Large Peng hovering in the sky, holding a golden long halberd, pointing it directly at the people below.

“You have no way out. Why not surrender?”

Before his voice fell, cursing came from the pit: “Bald bird, don't be arrogant. Fight another three hundred rounds with old Sun!”

“You're already spent. What false bravado? If you bow to us, Lion Camel Ridge, considering you are also of the Demon Race, I can let you live, and one day you could even be the master of a cave,” the Golden Wings Large Peng shouted.

Sun Wukong slowly climbed out of the pit, his body soaked in blood.

“That Lion Camel Ridge of yours, with mountains of bones, flesh and blood turned to mud, and roads paved with human skins, truly stinks to high heaven. I have no interest in that. If we are to fight, let's continue the fight; stop spouting so much nonsense.” He managed to stand up straight, grinning despite his evident effort to stay strong.

Seeing this, Shen Luo's thoughts raced, and he quickly called back the Yan Jia Corpse King to shield everyone.

Flower Ten Women, Elder Chi Rong, the Six-tusked Elephant King, and the Golden Wings Large Peng all joined forces. Some elders from their sects with deep cultivation levels, unaffected by the Plague Spreader Box, also followed. They all possessed an oppressive force so strong it made one's heart quiver as they pressed towards everyone.

“Caged beasts still struggle. What's the point of your resistance? If you surrender now, there's still a slim chance of survival. Otherwise, if you continue your defiance, we will have no choice but to start a massacre, leaving none alive,” Flower Ten Women threatened.

“Just give up, and after the Divine Demon Well is opened, we only need the heads of the Bodhi Ancestor and Sun Wukong. The rest can be dealt with leniently,” added Elder Chi Rong.

“Not good enough. The head of that human lad must not be spared. Include him too,” the Six-tusked Elephant King said viciously.

His hatred for Shen Luo was intense, and he was unwilling to let him go.
