The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1452

Chapter 1452: Chapter 1448: Collecting True Fire Chapter 1452: Chapter 1448: Collecting True Fire “The Golden Crow descends upon the world!” Fire Child bellowed, striking the void with a palm.

Golden flames surged around, and in an instant, a three-legged Golden Crow, several tens of meters long, materialized and swooped toward Shen Luo.

Before the Golden Crow could reach him, the void around Shen Luo was entirely bathed in a fiery red hue, violently fluctuating as if the entire space could catch fire.

Seeing this, Shen Luo was not alarmed but delighted. He formed seals with both hands in front of him, and a sky-blue light burst forth from his body, mingled with strands of white light, colliding with the three-legged Golden Crow.

Instead of the expected colossal collision, there was only a slight sizzling sound, and the three-legged Golden Crow vanished into thin air, with the blue light around Shen Luo dissipating as well.

“Where is my Golden Crow True Fire? Why did it suddenly disappear? Did you take away my true fire?” Fire Child was shocked, quickly reacting and bellowing at Shen Luo.

Zhang Chuan and the elderly man in a golden robe widened their eyes, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

They were both well aware of the power of the Golden Crow True Fire, which could even melt top-grade magical treasures. How could it be easily blocked by the seemingly insignificant blue light?

“The three strikes are over, can we stop now?” Shen Luo raised his hand to brush off his sleeve, the last wisp of blue light dispersing, and he spoke indifferently.

Fire Child stared at Shen Luo, his eyes turning blood red.

The Golden Crow True Fire within his Sun Chasing Sword had diminished by over sixty percent, causing significant damage to the Golden Crow's spirit. Whether it could recover remained uncertain. His anger surged to the heavens, and not even the Three Rivers and Four Seas could extinguish it.

However, Shen Luo's divine powers were mysterious. He completely failed to understand what technique Shen Luo had used to take away his Golden Crow True Fire, and continuing the fight would unlikely give him an upper hand.

At that moment, several beams of escape light shot from the Imperial City, clearly the palace monks sensing the commotion here.

“Let's go!” Fire Child furiously waved his sleeve, turning to leave towards the distance.

Zhang Chuan, realizing the gap in their abilities after witnessing Shen Luo's divine powers, also dropped his arrogant demeanor. Along with the elderly man in a golden robe, he silently followed Fire Child in departure.

Shen Luo turned his head to look at the incoming beams of escape light and, with a flicker, vanished from the spot.

The beams of escape light soon fell where the two had been fighting, revealing several court ministers.

These ministers were all strong, and looking at the traces of melted and frozen ground, they could sense the terrifying power of the caster.

They exchanged looks, quickly cleaned up the traces, and turned to fly towards the Astronomical Bureau to report the incident to Yuan Tiangang.

In a secluded alley near the Great Tang Dynasty Government, a green light flashed through the void, and Shen Luo's figure appeared out of thin air.

He took out an object; it was the Map of Mountains and Rivers with an added cluster of golden flames–the Golden Crow True Fire.

“Haha, Brother Shen, you truly have great skills. You've managed to obtain a cluster of Golden Crow True Fire like this, impressive,” Fire Spirit Child laughed heartily.

Shen Luo did not show a triumphant expression. The power of Fire Child's Golden Crow True Fire was immense. Without the Map of Mountains and Rivers, a Heavenly Treasure, he would not have been able to easily capture the three-legged Golden Crow.

“Fire Daoist friend, could you please help refine this flame to remove its impurities and restore it to pure Golden Crow True Fire?” he asked.

“It's possible, but what do you want to use it for?” Fire Spirit Child inquired.

“You will know later,” Shen Luo chuckled and took out the Netherworld Furnace.

Fire Spirit Child muttered something, though it wasn't clear what he was saying, and then activated the Netherworld Furnace to fly over the Map of Mountains and Rivers, capturing the Golden Crow True Fire into the furnace.

Shen Luo flicked his sleeve to put away the furnace and soon returned to his residence.

“Big Brother Shen, you're back, why were you out for so long?” Mi Su hurriedly approached him, speaking with a slight pout.

“I went out to investigate the matters involving the demons, it took some time. Nothing happened here, did it?” Shen Luo rubbed Mi Su's small head.

Mi Su, having her head patted, smiled joyfully as if she enjoyed it and playfully shook her head.

“Big Brother Shen, have you discovered anything after working hard all day?” Only after acting coquettishly did Mi Su ask.

Shen Luo did not hide anything from Mi Su and roughly recounted the process of his investigation.

“Actually, I spent today here not doing much, but I've been thinking about how to investigate those demons. I might have thought of a method that could work,” Mi Su said.

“You have a method?” Shen Luo's eyes widened slightly.

“The living people don't know, but those who died during the attacks may know something,” said Mi Su.

“Dead people? Right, how did I not think of that?” Shen Luo was slightly stunned and immediately stood up.

He walked over and sat at the table, his Divine Sense delved into the Linlang Ring, retrieving a blank Talisman Paper and some Spiritual Material and quickly started to mix the Talisman Ink.

Moments later, a bottle of pitch-black Talisman Ink was ready.

Shen Luo picked up the talisman pen and began drawing on the Talisman Paper, swiftly completing a Black Talisman, then channeling his Mana into it.

The Black Talisman suddenly shattered silently, a large mass of black fog emerging from it, forming a constantly spinning Black Vortex.

With a “swoosh,” a tall figure of Ma Mian leaped out from it, none other than the Soul Hook Horse Face that Shen Luo had befriended in his earlier years.

The Black Talisman was a Soul Contract given to him by Ma Mian from before, now depleted, though with his current cultivation level, it wasn't difficult for him to create a new one.

Mi Su, despite her young age, also possessed cultivation and, seeing Ma Mian, was not afraid but instead looked at him curiously up and down.

“Who summoned me? You are… Shen Luo!” Ma Mian, recognizing Shen Luo's face, showed a look of surprise.

“Fellow Daoist Ma Mian, long time no see,” Shen Luo greeted with a smile.

“Ah, yes, it's been over a hundred years, oh, your cultivation!” Ma Mian was somewhat emotional but immediately noticed Shen Luo's cultivation and abruptly widened his eyes.

“I, Shen Luo, have been assisted by High People over the years and have had some adventures, advancing to the True Immortal Stage already,” Shen Luo did not conceal his cultivation, and spoke frankly.

Ma Mian was at a loss for words, he had been diligently attending to the affairs of the Underworld for years, boosted by some fortunes which advanced his cultivation greatly, even breaking through to the Mahayana Stage, considered a swift progression among the many spirits of the Underworld, but it was nothing compared to Shen Luo.

“Fellow Daoist Shen… no, Elder Shen summoned me, might I ask the reason?” Ma Mian coughed once and respectfully asked.

“We are old acquaintances, in the past, I was often aided by Fellow Daoist Ma Mian, there's no need for formalities, let's continue to address each other as fellow daoists,” Shen Luo said with a light smile.

“If that's the case, then I would take the liberty of doing so,” Ma Mian scratched his head and laughed, internally heaving a sigh of relief.

He was a proud individual and had often helped Shen Luo in the past, naturally reluctant to address him as an elder.

“I summoned Fellow Daoist Ma Mian today in relation to yesterday's attack on Chang'an City, I suppose you're already aware,” Shen Luo began to discuss the serious matter.

“This incident has already shaken the world, known throughout the Three Realms, I naturally know of it,” Ma Mian nodded.

“I am assisting the Great Tang Dynasty Government in investigating the origin of the demon riots, but sadly have found no clues so far. Many people were killed in this uproar, their Souls have already entered the Underworld, these individuals might know something. Hence, I wish to go to the Underworld to speak with these souls. Fellow Daoist Ma Mian, could you possibly make arrangements?” Shen Luo bowed his hands.

“This…” Ma Mian hesitated.
