The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1393

Chapter 1393: Chapter 1389: Greed Chapter 1393: Chapter 1389: Greed “Friend Fu overestimates me; Spatial Divine Ability comprehends the Heavenly Dao, with such profound mystery. I am just fortunate to possess two Spatial Treasures; how dare I claim to be well-versed in Spatial Divine Ability. This place is sealed by a thick spatial barrier; even I cannot break the formation to escape,” Fu Gong said, shaking his head.

“Friend Fu, didn't you previously say inside the golden fireball was a Nine-Petal Fire Lotus? How did it turn out to be a Golden Palace that has taken us in?” Turtle Thousand Years spoke with some dissatisfaction.

Shen Luo cast an annoyed glance at Turtle Thousand Years. If not for this demon's greed, which triggered the golden fireball, they probably wouldn't have been taken inside; yet he had the nerve to question others.

“I also did not expect that within this Ring Mountain Range, such a Spatial Treasure was hidden. It is my miscalculation which has implicated the three of you and trapped us here,” Fu Gong said with a wry smile, unangered.

“It can hardly be called an implication. The three Daoist friends might wish to come here and see,” a voice came from the side; it was Dragon Tooth who had walked over to the side of a wall in the Hall.

Since everyone had assembled in the Ring Mountain Range, Dragon Tooth had been silent and taciturn. Suddenly speaking up made the others a bit surprised as they walked over to the wall.

“What is this…” A glint flashed in Fu Gong's eyes as he exclaimed in shock.

Shen Luo channeled his mana into his eyes to look at the wall, which faintly became transparent, hinting at another vast space within, though it was not very clear.

His mind moved, and he activated the Netherworld Ghost Eye Technique. Two beams of Green Light shot from his eyes, and the situation within the wall became clear–it was a cave-like area, quite spacious and located above this Hall.

At the furthest end of the cave, the ground gleamed with golden yellow light; it was a lava field, in which grew a cluster of Earth Core Fire Lotuses, at least a dozen of them.

And those Fire Lotuses all had nine petals–they were indeed Nine-Petal Fire Lotuses.

“Nine-Petal Fire Lotus!” Turtle Thousand Years also saw the situation inside and showed an expression of wild joy. Blue Light surged around his hand as he prepared to strike the wall.

“Wait! The appearance of this Spatial Treasure is very sinister; it may be related to the Super Red Flame Beast. We should be careful not to fall into a trap,” Shen Luo suddenly intervened to stop him.

“Brother Shen speaks wisely; Turtle Daoist friend, do not act rashly,” Fu Gong said, startled, and hastily added.

“Then what should we do? Do we have to wait here indefinitely? Those Red Flame Beasts that were lured away will return soon; we don't have much time to delay here,” Turtle Thousand Years said, somewhat unwilling as he dissipated the Blue Light in his hands.

“Brother Shen, do you have any suggestions?” Fu Gong looked to Shen Luo, also uncertain of what to do.

“I think we should first explore this Hall. If we can find an exit, all the better; if we truly cannot find a way out, then we should join forces to break through this wall, to guard against ambush. As for the Red Flame Beasts outside, in my opinion, there is no need for concern. Even if those beasts are waiting outside when we leave, with our strength, there's confidence in safely escaping,” Shen Luo said.

“Brother Shen's words are prudent; if nobody else has a better plan, let's proceed this way,” Fu Gong said, nodding repeatedly.

Turtle Thousand Years was dissatisfied but held his tongue since Fu Gong had spoken.

The four of them explored various parts of the Hall, only to discover nothing. In the end, they gathered reluctantly by the wall again.

“I said earlier, it's useless to waste effort; let's join forces and break through the wall!” Turtle Thousand Years said impatiently, taking out a deep blue iron rod with a flip of his hand and smashing it fiercely against the wall, stirring up ripples in the air with an overwhelming might.

Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyebrows raised slightly. Turtle Thousand Years' martial skills were commendable; his staff technique seemed to surpass his hammer technique, and that deep blue iron rod was also a treasure, exceeding even the Eight-edged Golden Melon.

He also brought out his Magical Treasure, which was the Profound Yellow Staff, equally creating trails of light that struck towards the mountain wall.

Dragon Tooth took out a Divine Fire Fan, formed hand seals to activate it, and the entire fan emitted a faint golden light in the air. With a swoosh, it opened up, and embroidered on it was a dark golden mountain peak that seemed lifelike, as real as any actual mountain.

He breathed out a surge of Mana and with a flash of golden light on the fan, the dark golden mountain peak actually shot out, expanded upon encountering the wind, and transformed into a several-dozen-feet-high golden small mountain that smashed into the mountain wall.

Fu Gong also summoned a heavy-duty treasure, which turned out to be a Large Seal that shone bright yellow. It grew dozens of times larger in the wind and struck the mountain wall with the force of Mount Tai pressing down.

The mountain wall, as if sensing the imminent threat, sprang up a thick layer of white light, colliding with the four's Magical Treasures. It seemed to be some kind of sophisticated prohibition.

However, the combined might of Shen Luo and the others was possibly immense, causing the white light to violently flicker for a few moments before finally failing to withstand their assault, and it was shattered with a tremor.

The four Magical Treasures hit the mountain wall, and amidst the thunderous sound, the wall collapsed upon impact, a vast number of stone fragments crashing into the space of the opposing cave and kicking up huge clouds of dust.

Turtle Thousand Years didn't wait for the dust to settle and turned into a streak of blue light, darting into the cave.

“Turtle Taoist Friend, be careful,” Fu Gong urgently called out.

But Turtle Thousand Years, as if deaf, sped towards those Nine-Petal Fire Lotuses. A burst of blue light shot out from his sleeve, caging the Fire Lotuses, ready to collect them all.

However, at that moment, the Nine-Petal Fire Lotuses suddenly trembled and disappeared, turning into clusters of golden flames that easily incinerated the blue light emitted by Turtle Thousand Years.

Those golden flames swelled immediately, transforming into numerous golden fire snakes that wrapped around Turtle Thousand Years's body like lightning.

“Aaahh…” Turtle Thousand Years's body instantly burst into golden flames, becoming a golden fire man, his voice letting out a piercing scream as his body struggled fiercely to get outside, trying to escape the clasp of those golden fire snakes.

Yet, those fire snakes were remarkably resilient, seemingly unaffected by Turtle Thousand Years's struggles and unwilling to let go.

“Turtle Taoist Friend!” Fu Gong's expression drastically changed. He immediately summoned the Eight Trigrams Flag, from which white light shot out, exerting a powerful swallowing force, attempting to absorb those golden flames.

But these golden flames were entirely different from the ordinary flames in the mountain passageway. The moment the white light touched them, it was incinerated to nothingness, taking Fu Gong by surprise.

Next to him, Shen Luo and Turtle Thousand Years might not have gotten along, but he didn't stand idly by at this moment. He immediately spurred the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique.

A wave of bitterly cold blue light erupted from his hand, sweeping over Turtle Thousand Years's body like a furious wave, the bone-chilling cold drowning out the golden flames, trying to extinguish them.

The magma beneath the flames lost its heat in an instant and solidified into rock, then was frozen by the cold, cracking into a large chunk of blue ice.

But those golden flames were also strangely eerie; although significantly reduced when enveloped by the Indigo Ocean's cold light, they did not go out.

Shen Luo's pupils constricted, and just as he was about to attempt another rescue, Turtle Thousand Years stopped screaming. His body turned into a mass of charred blackness and then completely disintegrated into ash, not even leaving behind a single bone.

Shen Luo, Dragon Tooth, and Fu Gong, upon witnessing this scene, their expressions were extremely solemn, standing outside the cave and not stepping inside.
