The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1378

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1374: Holy Lotus Chapter 1378: Chapter 1374: Holy Lotus “This fire beast really is somewhat strange,” Shen Luo said, his face showing a look of surprise. After a moment of contemplation, he formed a magic spell with his hands. His left hand radiated with the Spirit Light of Wind and Thunder, and a large number of green wind blades and golden lightning bolts shot out from his hand.

His right hand surged with blue light as he activated the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique, and countless blue ice cones burst out, striking the fire cloud along with the wind blades and lightning.

Although there were many of these fire crows, forming a powerful fire cloud, they posed no threat to him. Shen Luo had stopped because he wanted to take the opportunity to find the weaknesses of these fiery beasts to facilitate his actions later.

The wind blades and lightning moved even faster and were the first to penetrate the fire cloud. Large numbers of fire crows were again hit, turning into numerous scattered sparks, which immediately reformed without any harm.

Those blue ice cones now whistled in, piercing through dozens of fire crows in an instant. The cold air from the Indigo Ocean burst forth from the ice cones, and the fire crows let out a pitiful cry before vanishing with a 'sizzle' sound.

“These fiery beasts are of the fire attribute; it seems that water-attribute divine powers can indeed restrain them,” Shen Luo thought with relief.

He possessed the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique, and had already cultivated it to an advanced level. He should have more than enough ability to deal with these fiery beasts.

Just then, two groups of fire crows, each consisting of over a hundred, suddenly surged out from the fire cloud. They converged together, forming two red giant swords, and 'sizzled' as they chopped down towards him.

Shen Luo's pupils shrank and a look of surprise flashed across his face, but his hands moved without hesitation, conjuring spells to meet the attack with his Pure Yang Sword and Slayer's Broken Sword.

A loud 'boom' resounded, and flames scattered in all directions; the Pure Yang Sword and the Slayer's Broken Sword were actually blocked.

The remaining fire crows also 'whooshed' together, forming a giant fire crow the size of a small mountain. With a flap of its wings, it appeared in front of Shen Luo and its huge beak pecked down at him.

Shen Luo's feet flashed with the Glamour of Moonlight, and he vanished into thin air from the spot, causing the giant fire crow to peck at nothing.

The giant fire crow let out an angry cry, flapping its wings and looking around to find Shen Luo's figure. But Shen Luo seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace, and those two giant sword rainbows had also disappeared without a trace.

Dozens of feet away, Shen Luo activated the invisibility divine power of his Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing, becoming insubstantial. Recalling his two flying swords, he shot forward and soon disappeared ahead.

Having figured out the weaknesses of these Red Flame Beasts, he had no intention of tangling with the fire crows; it was more important to hurry in search of the Earth Core Fire Lotus.

Although these fire crows had considerable attack power, their spiritual wisdom was comparable to ordinary wild beasts, naturally unable to see through the invisibility divine power of the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing. After a chaotic squawking, they reverted to a fire cloud state and soon left the area as well.

Encountering this group of fire crows seemed like a beginning; as Shen Luo continued on his way, he encountered a fiery beast alone or in groups every once in a while. These beasts had no specific forms, including fire birds, fire beasts, and even humanoid fire spirits.

Each of these fiery beasts had the ability to transform their bodies into flames and were difficult to kill, but their weakness was the same, all subdued by the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique.

Eager to continue on his journey, Shen Luo had no intention of fighting with these Red Flame Beasts. Whenever he encountered them, he would avoid them relying on the Soft Smoke Luo Luo Brocade Clothing and only fight back if he couldn't evade.

More than a two-hour period later, he arrived near a canyon.

There were two active volcanoes on either side of the canyon, spewing out rolling magma and black smoke into the sky, and the canyon was filled with dark red magma, forming a magma lake that emitted an insanely high temperature.

This was precisely the location marked on the Jade Slip Map for the Earth Core Fire Lotus, and Shen Luo's Divine Sense had already detected the Earth Core Fire Lotus.

In a crevice near the Magma Lake in the canyon, two crimson red lotuses grew, only the size of a washbasin, looking incredibly delicate. Whether it was the petals or the stem, they were semi-transparent, and faintly flowing within was a mist of red light, giving off a dreamlike illusion.

“It really is a treasure of Heaven and Earth!” Shen Luo's eyes glinted with joy as he leaped to land near the Fire Lotus and stretched out his hand to pluck it. Suddenly, a premonition of danger surfaced in his mind.

“Whoosh”

Suddenly, the magma below cracked open, and a Giant Fire Pillar as thick as a water bucket shot out. The heat emanating was turbulent, distorting the void wherever it passed.

Fortunately, Shen Luo was already on guard. As soon as the red fire column appeared, his figure immediately retreated backward, and with a single hand raised, he summoned the Pure Yang Sword, transforming into a Red Sword Rainbow to meet the fire column head-on.

With a “hiss” rending through the air, the Giant Fire Pillar was sliced in two, but Shen Luo, along with the Pure Yang Sword, was sent flying backward, tumbling for over a dozen feet before stabilizing himself, his face showing surprise.

He had just now concealed his movements with Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing, though he hadn't used much mana to activate it. It should have been enough to deceive monks of the same level, yet he had been discovered.

What surprised him even more was that he had just used his Divine Sense to scope out the surroundings and hadn't detected anything in the Magma Lake below; yet there was a flaming ferocious beast that had escaped his perception.

The previously calm surface of the Magma Lake suddenly began to bubble and form a large vortex, from which a monster enveloped in Crimson Flames slowly emerged.

The creature had an enormous mouth, and its bloated body squatted there, resembling a toad. Its back was covered with hard horny scale armor aflame with clusters of red flames, and its forehead sported two sharp horns which quivered flexibly now and then, rippling out rings of red light.

“A guardian spirit beast?” Shen Luo saw such a ferocious beast for the first time, and his gaze flickered.

“Who are you to lay your hands on the Red Flame Clan's Sacred Lotus?” demanded the toad monster, its pus-filled eyes staring at Shen Luo as it spoke in a human language.

“You can speak, which means your Spiritual Wisdom is greatly awakened. Hand over the two Earth Core Fire Lotuses to me, and I can spare your life,” Shen Luo said, his expression revealing surprise, which quickly returned to calm as he spoke indifferently.

“Impudent monk! Spouting madness before your death!” the Red Flame Beast roared furiously, flames on its back flaring wildly as over a dozen Giant Fire Pillars identical to the first shot out from its back, ferociously striking towards Shen Luo.

Meanwhile, the nearby magma churned violently, and dozens of gigantic magma columns abruptly rose, storming towards Shen Luo like raging waves.

Magma and fire columns intertwined, as if the entire world of magma was launching an attack. The force was tremendously shocking.

Shen Luo pursed his lips and a surge of blue light exploded from both hands as he waved them forward weavingly.

Biting cold air burst forth, and suddenly, a Blue Iceberg hundreds of feet in size materialized in front, colliding with both the fire columns and the magma.

Huge booming noises “roared,” the Blue Iceberg trembled unsteadily, cracks appeared all over it, yet it didn't completely shatter.

At the same time, sounds of “sizzling” rose sharply as huge swathes of white mist formed, enveloping the vicinity in fog in the blink of an eye. Everything became blurred, and Shen Luo's figure was swallowed by the mist, disappearing from sight; his breath, too, totally vanished.
