The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1424

Chapter 1424: Chapter 1420: Still Ao Hong Chapter 1424: Chapter 1420: Still Ao Hong “You know the Ancient Secret Realm Cave that has passed how many years by now? I'm afraid it has long since collapsed and ceased to exist,” Shen Luo said, shaking his head after a brief contemplation.

His most pressing matter at the moment was to repair the jade pillow as quickly as possible; he truly had no time to seek any other treasures.

Seeing that persuasion was futile, the Ancestral Dragon Soul became enraged and bellowed, “Since you are not willing to spare me, let us perish together.”

After speaking, his body shone with dazzling golden light, and a powerful fluctuation of soul power expanded, about to self-destruct.

“Thinking of self-destructing? Had you tried this right when I had suppressed you, you might have had the chance, but now… it's too late!” Shen Luo chuckled coldly, the light from Mount Buzhou intensifying, the pressure increasing tenfold, instantly crushing the power gathered by the Ancestral Dragon Soul and suppressing it again under the giant peak.

“The new wave surpasses the old; I am no match for you. If you want to kill me, then kill!” the spirit of the Ancestral Dragon said despairingly, its spirit seemingly fading with that pressure.

“Your Excellency need not be so disheartened. Though there are grievances between us, those matters are all in the past. Providing you a way to live is not out of the question,” Shen Luo suddenly spoke.

“Are these words true?” The Ancestral Dragon Soul asked, lifting its head in surprise.

“Now the Three Realms are in turmoil, and the Four Seas Dragon Palaces are no exception. Facing both internal and external issues, as the common ancestor of the Dragon Clan, surely you would not wish to see the Dragon Clan fragmented, would you? If you can earnestly assist Ao Hong to revitalise the East Sea Dragon Clan, I could spare your life. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind imprisoning this fragment of your soul indeterminably,” Shen Luo stated.

“Is this all?” The Ancestral Dragon Soul asked after a long silence.

“Indeed,” Shen Luo nodded.

The Ancestral Dragon Soul stared at him with a strange expression for a long while, then skeptically asked, “Just let me assist Ao Hong, striving to rejuvenate the Dragon Clan, without asking me to do anything for you?”

“No need, the Old Dragon King has already agreed to lend me the Sink Blood Nine Dragons Pearl,” Shen Luo replied.

Still somewhat in disbelief, the Ancestral Dragon Soul remained silent for a long time.

“While I control this Mount Buzhou, it continues to consume the power of your divine soul; you likely don't have much time left to consider,” Shen Luo warned.

“I agree to your terms… only my remaining soul has already suffered too much damage. Without the Sink Blood Nine Dragons Pearl, it's like a candle in the wind. How will you ensure my continued existence?” the Ancestral Dragon Soul inquired.

“Even if you return to the Sink Blood Nine Dragons Pearl, you would only fall into slumber. I have a way to seal you into Ao Hong's Sea of Knowledge; in the future, you could slowly recover by drawing on his power. As for later, whether he sets you free or not will be his choice,” Shen Luo explained.

“Very well,” the Ancestral Dragon Soul said after a long contemplation.

“Before that, first sever the secret technique linking you to Ao Hong's bloodline, allowing him to awaken. I have some matters to discuss with him,” Shen Luo stated.

“Once I've severed the connection, how can I be sure you won't simply eradicate me?” the Ancestral Dragon Soul challenged.

“Why would I eradicate you outright when I can imprison your soul and torment it bit by bit?” Shen Luo retorted with a cold chuckle.

Hearing Shen Luo's barefaced threat, the Ancestral Dragon Soul, realizing it truly had no room to bargain, inevitably sighed, “Are humans now the dominant force in the Three Realms? Are they all like you?”

Shen Luo didn't respond.

“Of course not, Daoist friend Ao Zhong, why have you come here, and where are Ao Run and Ao Shun in the ice cave?” Shen Luo shook his head and immediately asked.

“I managed to suppress them for moments with the Six Ding Six Jia Array, but those two somehow used a God's Power and escaped from the formation, fleeing by flight. I was greatly depleted of my mana and did not pursue them. However, the elite forces of the Dragon Palace have already returned from outside, and I just received news that they have escaped,” Ao Zhong said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo silently breathed a sigh of relief and gestured with his hand.

A yellow light flashed from the ground nearby, and a figure emerged from underneath–it was the Sky Fiend Corpse King.

Previously, when the Blood Color Bone Flute targeted divine souls, he considered that the divine soul contained in the Sky Fiend Corpse King was achieved through trickery and was far less stable than a monk's divine soul, thus sustaining greater damage, so he had it hide underground.

Shen Luo raised his hand and brought the Corpse King into the Carefree Mirror for it to slowly recuperate and recover.

Seeing this action, Ao Zhong's expression shifted slightly, but he said nothing.

He then slapped Ao Hong on the shoulder to wake him up and began to carefully explain their transaction with the Ancestral Dragon Soul. Ao Zhong, standing by, was left dumbfounded by the explanation.

Ao Hong was also shocked by the sudden turn of events and found it hard to calm his mind. However, having previously experienced the death of the East Sea Dragon King, deceived by the Three Sea Dragon Kings, his capacity to endure had greatly increased.

After a moment's shock, his expression returned to calm. Bowing his head slightly, he started to think quickly.

“This is feasible,” he soon said, looking up at Shen Luo.

“Good,” Shen Luo nodded immediately.

“Wait, Brother Shen, are you certain this plan is completely foolproof and Ao Hong won't be possessed? If there's any risk of that, I am willing to take his place,” Ao Zhong still expressed worry.

Previously, he had no choice but to helplessly let the Ancestral Dragon Soul run amok. Now that Shen Luo had control of the situation, he naturally wanted to seek a more secure method.

“No need to worry, what's left of the Ancestral Dragon is just a remnant soul, which is very weak after all the torment. Plus, I have secret techniques to suppress them, so there's no concern about a backlash. Furthermore, I will impart the Suppressing God Technique to Ao Hong. Although he currently lacks a foundation in cultivation, I believe that with his talents, after some time of cultivation, he will be able to suppress the remnant soul on his own,” Shen Luo explained.

Hearing this, Ao Zhong finally exhaled in relief.

“Brother Shen, I truly don't know how to repay you for this great favor,” Ao Hong said, his heart warmed by the gesture.

“Why bother with such talk between us? Come, time is of the essence. I'll first transmit the incantation of the Suppressing God Technique to you. Try to circulate it and see if there are any uncertainties,” Saying this, Shen Luo pulled Ao Hong to sit down cross-legged.

Then, both of them closed their eyes and began to communicate through their divine souls.

About half an hour later, Shen Luo saw Ao Hong come out of his meditative state, a smile appeared on his face.

“As expected, your cultivation went very smoothly. In no more than three months, you should be able to suppress the Ancestral Dragon's remnant soul on your own,” Shen Luo said, helping Ao Hong up.

“Thanks to your generous teaching, Brother Shen. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly,” Ao Hong said somewhat sheepishly.

“No time to delay. I'll now transfer that remnant soul into your Sea of Consciousness. Prepare yourself for reception,” Shen Luo said, causing the three present to tense up again.

In the Sea of Consciousness space within Shen Luo, the Golden Dragon crushed under a small mountain appeared listless and scarcely alive.

He cursed in his heart countless times, thinking Shen Luo had deceived him.

“Remember, this is my Sea of Consciousness space. I can sense every fluctuation of your divine soul,” the figure of Shen Luo suddenly spoke.

“So you're planning to go back on your word and imprison me in your Sea of Consciousness, eh?” the Ancestral Dragon Soul shouted angrily.
