The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1810 - 1806: East Sea Abyss

Chapter 1810: Chapter 1806: East Sea Abyss

Shen Luo looked at the towering White Bone Ghost before him, a trace of surprise appearing on his face.

This Ghost had twin horns on its head, wore an exquisitely crafted battle armor, held a massive bone shield in its left hand, and a giant battle axe with pitch-black flames in its right. Its aura was overwhelmingly immense, comparable to a Taiyi existence.

As soon as the White Bone Ghost appeared, it immediately lunged at the nearest Sealed Jade Pillar, slashing its fiery battle axe fiercely upon it.

The Jade Pillar exploded with a resounding boom, making the ethereal form of Shen Luo’s ears buzz, and causing the entire Underground Cave to tremble violently.

A surge of resentful energy and ghost power congealed into a tangible Black Qi, sweeping towards all directions. The nearby Ghost Array shook violently, almost on the verge of collapse.

The dwarf-like figure standing on the White Bone Giant Banner was instead delighted upon seeing this, his ten fingers rapidly moving like a Car Wheel as he chanted incantations.

"Zzzz~"

The White Bone Giant Banner unleashed a substantial Black Light Pillar, merging into the surrounding Ghost Array. The operation speed of the Ghost Array suddenly accelerated tenfold, completely trapping all the Army Souls.

The White Bone Giant Banner swelled with the wind, enveloping those Army Souls, an immense suction force emerging from within, devouring all the Army Souls like a whale swallowing water.

Shen Luo glanced sideways, realizing this White Bone Banner was somewhat similar to his previous Ten Thousand Demons Banner, but the power was worlds apart.

The Ten Thousand Demons Banner, whether in Yin Qi or momentum, was far inferior to the White Bone Giant Banner before him.

The White Bone Ghost immediately lunged at another Sealed Jade Pillar, swinging its black battle axe down fiercely, smashing this pillar as well, releasing countless Army Souls.

The demon wind and the dwarf-like figure drove the surrounding Ghost Array and White Bone Giant Banner, capturing the released Army Souls again.

In less than half a moment, all the Sealed Jade Pillars were destroyed, and the ghosts within were entirely absorbed by the White Bone Giant Banner.

"Finally done, I never expected so many Army Souls to be hidden here, truly heaven’s aid," the dwarf-like figure said joyously.

"The spy assisting the Qingqiu Fox Clan discovered this Cave by chance back then, truly an unexpected joy," the demon wind mentioned.

"However, the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation here is extremely difficult to deal with. Luckily, we borrowed the Ten Thousand Ghosts Rotation Array and the Black Blood Ghost Needle from the Rooster Lord, otherwise we wouldn’t have managed here," the dwarf-like figure said, once again offering up that black-red Round Pearl.

The fragments of the Jade Pillar emitted numerous black-red fine needles, all shooting back into the Round Pearl.

"Speaking of which, did you remember all the formation patterns of the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation? That old monster, the Rooster Lord, lent us the Ten Thousand Ghosts Rotation Array and the Black Blood Ghost Needle to get the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation. We can’t afford to offend that old thing," the demon wind asked.

"I’ve remembered everything, you can rest assured when I handle things," the dwarf-like figure said, patting a storage bag at his waist.

"That’s good then," the demon wind sighed with relief.

Shen Luo, hearing the conversation between the two, was secretly shocked.

Have the Twelve Demons of the Demon Clan already begun to gather? If they truly assemble the Twelve Demons, it might really recreate the tragic world of a Thousand Years Later.

"The matters here have concluded, I must make a trip to the East Sea Abyss, let us part ways here," the dwarf-like figure said, pointing at the White Bone Giant Banner with a spell.

The giant banner swiftly shrank, turning into a white light and merging into his sleeve in a blink.

After doing all this, this person’s body transformed into a black shadow and vanished into the Void.

The demon wind watched the dwarf-like figure leave, his figure flickering slightly and disappearing without a trace.

Shen Luo’s eyes flashed with a strange look, immediately tracking the dwarf-like figure.

The true identity of the demon wind, he knew long ago, was the Western Paradise Huang Mei Monk, but he didn’t recognize the dwarf-like figure.

From their conversation just now, it seemed the dwarf-like figure held a significant position in the Demon Clan and appeared to be one of the Twelve Demons as well. However, the Twelve Demons in the Dream World did not include this person, making it essential to investigate this person’s identity.

But at that moment, Shen Luo’s vision darkened, the time limit for travel had been reached, causing him to lose all consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Luo gradually awoke, finding he had already returned to reality.

"Cousin, did you find out who destroyed these Sealed Jade Pillars?" Nie Caizhu immediately looked over.

Shen Luo nodded, briefly recounting everything he had witnessed after entering the Dream.

"It indeed was the Demon Clan who destroyed this place," Nie Caizhu stated.

"Young Master Shen, you mentioned that dwarf-like figure wielded a White Bone Banner, easily capturing those ghosts?" Firelight flickered, and Fire Spirit Child appeared.

"Indeed, the White Bone Banner was able to influence me across time, Fire Daoist friend, you are a Master Weapon Refiner. Can you identify what that White Bone Giant Banner is?" Shen Luo asked Fire Spirit Child.

"If I’m not mistaken, that item should be the ancient treasured ’Soul-capturing Banner,’ that possesses a God’s Power for capturing souls. From my observation, the jade pillow’s time travel transmits your Divine soul, and though under the protection of the jade pillow’s power it is immune to most physical attacks, the Soul-capturing Banner contains a soul-capturing Law that even the jade pillow’s power cannot fully immunize," Fire Spirit Child explained.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo looked at Nie Caizhu. Nie Caizhu nodded and shared her observations during Shen Luo’s Dream entry.

"From this, it seems my Divine soul indeed traveled, which is why it was affected by the Soul-capturing Banner. However, that Soul-capturing Banner seems somewhat similar to the Ten Thousand Demons Banner I acquired before," Shen Luo contemplated.

"The Ten Thousand Demons Banner is actually an imitation of the Soul-capturing Banner, but it only contains a few fragmentary laws, and its primary God’s Power is concentrated on controlling ghosts, lacking the inherent fluidity of the Soul-capturing Banner," Fire Spirit Child remarked.

"I see. Will the Soul-capturing Banner refine those gathered souls after capturing them?" Shen Luo’s eyes glinted, he inquired further.

"That it won’t. The soul-capturing Law within the Soul-capturing Banner primarily collects souls and does not refine them. Moreover, from what you previously recounted, it seems that dwarf-like figure intends to use these Army Souls for something, so they shouldn’t be harmed for now," Fire Spirit Child assured.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His cultivation level had now reached the Taiyi Stage, and to advance to the Heavenly Venerate Stage in the future, the power of those Army Souls would be essential, thus he must reclaim them no matter what.

"Cousin, are you thinking of heading to that East Sea Abyss to track the dwarf-like member of the Demon Clan?" Nie Caizhu, perceptively understanding Shen Luo’s intentions, asked.

"Those Army Souls are crucial to me, and since that dwarf-like figure mentioned planning something in the East Sea Abyss, the Demon Clan is the public enemy of the world, and I cannot be indifferent, especially now that I am already at odds with them," Shen Luo stated firmly.

Nie Caizhu’s eyes flickered with a hint of concern, seemingly reluctant for Shen Luo to take such a risk.

"Very well, after advancing to the Taiyi Stage, achieving further improvement with mere arduous cultivation is insufficient. Exploring more and gaining insights are more valuable," Fire Spirit Child advised.

"I’ve also had this intuition after advancing my cultivation," Shen Luo agreed, looking at Nie Caizhu with resolved eyes.

"Since both cousin and Fire Daoist friend said so, let’s head to the East Sea and take a look," Nie Caizhu decided.

"Rest assured, Cai Zhu, I won’t recklessly endanger my own life," Shen Luo reassured Nie Caizhu, holding her hand.

The decision made, Shen Luo put away the All Heaven Gods Evil Great Formation and Fire Spirit Child, and together with Nie Caizhu, headed towards the East Sea.
