The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1384

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1380: Confidence Chapter 1384: Chapter 1380: Confidence Shen Luo waved his hand to retract the Map of Mountains and Rivers from the nearby space, then maneuvered his hands into incantation gestures as the Pure Yang Sword soared into the sky, merging with the Vermilion Bird True Spirit that was flying around.

“Swoosh!”

Accompanied by a high-pitched scream, the Vermilion Bird True Spirit instantly turned from illusory to tangible, its size expanding dozens of times in an instant, transforming into a huge Vermilion Bird hundreds of feet in size. Its entire body was engulfed in billowing vermillion flames, the very Vermilion Bird True Fire, easily melting the surrounding rocks and breaking through the Mountain Cave, flying out to the Outside.

“Go!”

Shen Luo's figure also shot out following that command, with a loud shout, urging on his mana.

The giant Vermilion Bird spread its wings and tore through the sky, moving forward at a speed several times faster than the previous sword flight; so quick that terms like “as fast as lightning” or “swift as thunder” were no longer adequate to describe it. In a flash, it crossed hundreds of feet and crashed into a dark red Giant Peak towering into the clouds, standing a thousand feet tall.

The towering peak was snapped in half like it was made of paper, with countless large and small rocks tumbling down.

However, the Vermilion Bird True Spirit simply spread its wings slightly, and an incomparably scorching breath swept across, causing all the rocks to turn into green smoke with a sizzle. The entire giant peak vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Seeing this scene, a tinge of excitement crossed Shen Luo's face.

The peaks within the Zhurong Basin had been baked by incessant flames, becoming countless times stronger than ordinary rocks, extremely resistant to high temperatures. Yet, under the fire power of the Vermilion Bird True Spirit, they were like paper and evaporated directly.

The might of this True Spirit appeared to exceed his expectations.

He currently had numerous Magical Treasures on him, and in terms of offensive power, the Pure Yang Sword had far surpassed the others, becoming his number one tool.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Shen Luo waved his hand to emit a Golden Light, collecting all the Array Tools used for the Liangyi Micro-dust Array from inside the Cave Mansion, ready to make his escape. Suddenly, he turned his head to look towards a certain Void, his face revealing a trace of puzzlement.

Just now, for an instant, he sensed a faint abnormal Breath there, but upon closer inspection now, everything seemed normal again.

“Eh, is it an illusion?” Shen Luo muttered to himself, but did not pay further attention and raised his hand to beckon.

The Vermilion Bird True Spirit flapped its wings and flew back, wrapping around his body, and his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

The Vermilion Bird, a Divine Beast of fire, instantly absorbed all the scorching aura and the fire toxins from the Zhurong Basin. Not a trace reached him, eliminating the need to use the Cold Jiao Pearl for protection.

“Good.” Reinvigorated, Shen Luo spurred the Pure Yang Sword towards a distant point and vanished in an instant.

After Shen Luo had fled far away for a Quarter of an Hour, a blue shadow flashed in that Void, and a blue figure slowly emerged. It was the Mirage Demon, with the blue feather floating above its head.

“That was close. I didn't expect Shen Luo to have improved so much that he has reached the True Immortal Stage, and his Divine Sense is exceptionally sharp. Had it not been for the Blue Spirit Snow Feather's ability to conceal, he might have discovered me,” the demon revealed a relieved expression.

Back in Yunmeng Marsh, when Shen Luo was still in the Great Mahayana Stage, he was already a match for him. Now that Shen Luo had advanced to the True Immortal Stage and possessed a superior Flying Sword with a Tool Spirit, the demon felt he was no longer a match for Shen Luo.

“It seems that the Vermilion Bird Egg has fallen into Shen Luo's hands and he has refined it into his Flying Sword. Taking it now would be useless…” The Mirage Demon muttered to himself, then took out the Demon Yoke Disk and started to activate it with a series of hand gestures.

A few breaths later, a black light shot out from the Demon Yoke Disk, merging into the Mirage Demon's mind, where one could vaguely see a number of small characters, a message.

“What, I have to seize the Flying Sword as well!” The Mirage Demon cried out in shock, his face filled with dilemma.

But it seemed he had no choice. After a moment's hesitation, he once again brought out the blue feather and chased in the direction Shen Luo had fled.

Not long after the Mirage Demon left, a fluctuation arose in the void not far away, revealing a mass of black Qi, which was indeed Demonic Qi.

In the center of the Demonic Qi was a black eye, twinkling slightly, extraordinarily perceptive.

The black Demon Eye look in the direction where the Mirage Demon had left, blinked twice, and then exploded with a bang, disappearing without a trace.

Hundreds of li away on the top of a mountain peak, the Vermilion Bird True Spirit flapped its wings, hovering there. Shen Luo's brow was flickering with black Qi, from which the black Demon Eye emerged, showing various scenes and sounds inside–it was the Mirage Demon muttering to itself and the situation when it was activating the Demon Yoke Disk.

Although Shen Luo had not detected the Mirage Demon's tracks earlier, he did not believe his vigilance was misplaced. Thus, he stealthily employed the Heavenly Demon Eye, a divine power recorded within the martial secrets of Chiyou, leaving it behind to spy on any movements.

This Heavenly Demon Eye was a secret technique of the Demon Clan for investigation. If cultivated to a profound realm, it could spy through any prohibition and even see through space. Shen Luo had not cultivated this technique, nor did he intend to cultivate it, but using it as a surveillance eye to secretly plant it in the void was still within his capability.

“To think it was a Mirage Demon! What is it doing here? Could it also be after this Vermilion Bird Egg? Luckily, I obtained the egg first,” Shen Luo murmured to himself.

Concerning that Mirage Demon, he was no longer very concerned. Except for its proficiency in illusion techniques, the demon was not worth mentioning in other aspects and was far from being his match.

However, from the look of things just now, the demon seemed to be colluding with others, which should not be underestimated.

“Since you wish to follow, then come along. Let's see who is behind you and what exactly their purpose is.” Shen Luo, his strength greatly increased, was not concerned about some minor nuisances, and with a flick of his fingers, he pointed at the Vermilion Bird True Spirit beneath him.

The huge Vermilion Bird moved with a flash of red light, shrinking to several times smaller, becoming about a zhang in size, and then shot forward with a flap of its wings.

Maintaining the huge Vermilion Bird True Spirit consumed a significant amount of mana and was quite conspicuous. Manifesting a Vermilion Bird True Spirit about a zhang in size was already sufficient.

Shen Luo sat on the spine of the Vermilion Bird, wielding his sword with all his might as he flew towards the location of the second Earth Core Fire Lotus.

He had wasted one day and one night refining the Vermilion Bird Egg previously and did not know whether those Earth Core Fire Lotuses had been harvested.

Just as he had been flying for a moment, a cackling sound suddenly came from ahead, and a swath of fire clouds appeared in the distance. It was another flock of Fire Crows.

Moreover, this flock of Fire Crows was several times larger than the previous one he had encountered, and each of them was as big as a millstone, much larger than the previous ones.

As soon as the Fire Crows saw Shen Luo and the Vermilion Bird True Spirit, they immediately changed direction and swooped over with murderous faces.

“This is perfect timing. Let's try out the power of this Pure Yang Sword!” Shen Luo's gaze shifted, and the Vermilion Bird True Spirit beneath him suddenly grew larger again, transforming into a gigantic Vermilion Bird tens of zhang in size. Its speed also sharply increased several times, and without employing any sophisticated attack techniques, it charged into the flock of Fire Crows like a meteorite.

The Fire Crows had no time to react and hundreds were instantly crushed to pieces, turning into bits of flame, all of which were absorbed into the Vermilion Bird True Spirit.

This essence of fire energy then flowed into the Pure Yang Sword, significantly enhancing the flying sword's power.

“The Vermilion Bird True Spirit can absorb the essence of fire energy? But it makes sense. This Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit is formed from an unhatched Vermilion Bird Fledgling that is in dire need of vitality. For it to refine some essence of fire energy with its Vermilion Bird bloodline is an easy task indeed. Moreover, the Pure Yang Sword also benefits from it. This is far more efficient than methodically grinding and nurturing the sword. If I keep slaying the fiery ferocious beasts within the Zhurong Basin, wouldn't I be able to refine the Pure Yang Sword's prohibitions up to the sixty-fourth layer in no time?” Shen Luo was excited at the thought and once again spurred on the Pure Yang Sword.

The Vermilion Bird True Spirit opened its mouth and spat out hundreds of thick and long Sword Qi, shredding all the Fire Crows in front and tore a passageway through the fire clouds.

The Vermilion Bird True Spirit then took a big inhalation, and the Sword Qi shot back like an incoming tide, sweeping along the spiritual power of the Fire Crows as well, absorbing it into its body.

A vast amount of essence of fire energy poured into the Pure Yang Sword through the Vermilion Bird True Spirit, causing the sword's power to surge once more.

However, the essence of fire energy contained within these Fire Crows was far less pure than that within the Vermilion Bird Egg. Although the Pure Yang Sword's vitality greatly increased, it showed signs of instability.
