Chapter 1653: Chapter 1649: The Spirit Appears and the Ghost Vanishes

About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Luo finally made it through the Mysterious Gold Tile zone and was the first to arrive at the black desk. His body suddenly felt lighter as all gravity disappeared.

Shen Luo took a deep breath and immediately lunged towards the black desk, his hand forming a magic gesture with a flick.

Nine Sword Lights shot from his hand, instantly merging into one, transforming into a Flame Giant Sword that harshly chopped down on the White Light Shield surrounding the desk.

The Light Shield dented inwards but did not shatter.

Shen Luo’s brows furrowed, ready to use other methods.

Suddenly, within the White Light Shield, several low rumbles of thunder erupted, soon turning into a series of booming roars, as a vibe of destroying the heavens and annihilating the earth ferociously spread out from the shield.

Shen Luo’s expression abruptly changed as he hurriedly halted his advance, then shot backward. But before he could get far, several bolts of White Thunder shaped like large water buckets burst out from the shield and struck him.

Without thinking, Shen Luo waved his arms forward and discharged huge bolts of Gold Thunder that instantly formed a wall of Golden Light, colliding with the White Thunder.

Thunderous booms resonated loudly; flashes of Golden Light and White Light were so blinding that one couldn’t keep their eyes open to watch.

However, the wall of Golden Light only held for half a breath before it was destroyed by the White Thunder, which even absorbed it completely. The bodies of several White Thunder serpents suddenly grew thicker as they continued to pounce towards Shen Luo.

Although it was only for the duration of half a breath, Shen Luo had already reacted, waving his hand to summon the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, and a golden light curtain blocked in front of him, colliding with the White Thunder.

His Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing also emitted a strong blue light, forming a thick Blue Light Shield behind the golden light curtain.

Several White Thunder serpents bared their fangs and clawed at the golden light curtain, their bodies flashing with intense White Thunder.

Although the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet is a defensive treasure, it had not been fully refined due to the lack of Nine Heavens Gold Essence, and the golden light curtain flickered a few times before shattering with a crackle.

The bodies of the White Thunder serpents diminished slightly in size and immediately continued forward, colliding with the Blue Light Shield formed by the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing.

The Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing, which had the God’s Power to shift attacks, allowed most of the White Thunder serpents to glide to the side after piercing nearly half of the shield, failing to hit Shen Luo.

Shen Luo heaved a sigh of relief and immediately waved his sleeve, shooting out a dark red Large Seal that expanded to the size of a house—it was the Turn Sky Seal—crashing down on the White Light Shield like a meteor.

After enduring the attack of the Nine Swords United, the White Light Shield was already on the verge of collapse. It then shattered under the blast of the Turn Sky Seal, and the White Thunder serpents vanished with it.

Without delaying a moment, Shen Luo lunged again towards the black desk. His gaze swept over the two objects on the table, then with a flick of his sleeve, a beam of Golden Light wrapped around the Grey Small Tower.

The Blood Claw Stab sealed by the Golden Broken Blade still radiated such an ominous Demonic Qi that it made his heart shudder. He did not dare to casually take the Demon-Slaying Broken Blade away.

With a "sizzle," as if his sleeve was being pulled by a massive force, not only was the Golden Light unsuccessful in its sweep, but a piece of his sleeve was torn off.

The Grey Small Tower just sat there, not even slightly shaken.

"What a heavy tower!" Shen Luo’s brow furrowed. He activated the Free and Easy Mirror to seize the tower, to no effect as well.

"Cai Zhu, try using the Kunlun Mirror to take this tower," he said, his face darkening, as he released Nie Caizhu and the Enlightened Heavenly Beast from the Free and Easy Mirror.

Nie Caizhu, who had been watching the situation from inside the Free and Easy Mirror, didn’t wait for Shen Luo to finish speaking before she summoned the Kunlun Mirror, casting a beam of Black Light over the Grey Small Tower.

The dim spiritual light atop the small tower quickly extinguished, seemingly about to be consumed by the area of darkness.

Just at this moment, the body of the tower suddenly burst forth with a surge of ash-white light, containing many spiritual patterns, which formed an ash-white light array connected with the void around it, clearly some mysterious prohibition.

No matter how the Kunlun Mirror’s area of darkness tried to devour it, it could not sweep it away.

Instead, the black desk below the small tower suddenly began to tremble, emanating strands of ghostly light, resonating with the area of darkness.

"This is... Black Witch Crystal! I’ve actually missed it, failing to recognize such a treasure! Young Master Shen, quickly collect this desk, the Black Witch Crystal is a divine artifact of the Witch Clan, unrivaled in hardness, and it contains extremely refined Yin Sha Qi, which is the top material for refining Witch Weapons, and can also be used to refine All Heaven Gods Evil Array Flags. Such a large piece of Black Witch Crystal could be used to make three Du Tian Shen Sha Array Flags!" Fire Spirit Child excitedly said.

Shen Luo was about to try another method of treasure collection, his eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he commanded the Free and Easy Mirror to sweep up the desk with its red light.

The black desk, not being under any prohibition, was collected by the Free and Easy Mirror in one go.

The grey small tower and the Blood Claw Stab suddenly hung in midair, but remained unaffected.

Shen Luo observed this situation, his expression shifted, ready to do something.

At this moment, Fire Spirit Child’s voice of alarm suddenly rang out in his mind: "Young Master Shen, watch out behind you!"

Shen Luo’s heart grew cold; although he didn’t detect any abnormalities behind him, his legs still released a burst of starlight, and the Cloud Chasing Lightning Boots also emitted thunder light, his entire person transformed into several afterimages, shooting towards several directions in front of him.

Almost simultaneously, the ground behind him exploded, with several golden spikes bursting forth, hitting the afterimages with precision.

The majority of the golden light passed directly through the afterimages, but one golden spike let out a loud clang as it was blocked by a golden shadow, which was Yan Lie’s Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower.

The golden spike also revealed its true form, turning out to be an exceptionally sharp Golden Short Awl, with fine golden scales visible on its surface.

Behind the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower, Shen Luo looked at the Golden Short Awl, his expression subtly changed, then he flicked his sleeve towards it.

A dozen or so Pure Yang Swords transformed into a swath of fine and sharp red Sword Qi, instantly striking the exploded ground, piercing it with densely packed Holes, yet there was no movement.

Shen Luo furrowed his brow, about to get closer to investigate.

A flash of Yellow Light passed through mid-air, and a series of extremely sharp black Sword Qi suddenly shot down, wrapped in black Thunder, causing the void to tremble, a storm of thunder and lightning ruthlessly assailing Shen Luo.

Shen Luo was about to counter, when Nie Caizhu quickly activated the Kunlun Mirror, covering those black Sword Qi with darkness. All the black Sword Qi instantly vanished as if sinking into the sea, disappearing within the darkness, which immediately engulfed the area where the Yellow Light had flashed, yet there was no reaction.

Shen Luo felt a chill in his heart, as this enemy was indeed as elusive as ghosts and demons, having exchanged blows several times without even getting a clear look at the opponent.

He suddenly remembered something and turned to look at You Quan and the others.

The several of them were quickly shattering the Mysterious Gold Tiles to advance, still a distance away from leaving the tiled area. You Quan, Hong Ku, Che Qingtian, and Wu Luo were all there, with only that Jin Xiu missing without a trace.

"Could it be that Demon Clan Skeleton?" While Shen Luo’s thoughts whirred, his Spirit Boots shone with thunder light and his body transformed into a bolt of purple lightning shooting towards the Golden Broken Blade and Blood Claw Stab, with a wave of golden light sweeping towards the two items first.

Now that someone had already arrived here, regardless of whether it was Jin Xiu or not, it was imperative to collect the treasures of this place as soon as possible; if others arrived, the chance of acquiring the treasures would be even slimmer.

As for the terrifying Demonic Qi on the Blood Claw Stab, he had no time to consider it for the time being.
