The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Chapter 438: Traveling by Sword Chapter 442: Chapter 438: Traveling by Sword The Red Lotus Karmic Fire was slowly engulfed by the Bloody Vortex, disappearing without a trace.

The Array etched on the Pure Yang Sword Embryo immediately shone brightly, the glow hinting at the presence of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, calming down only after a good while.

Having swallowed a lump of Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo was as if it had consumed a great supplement. The outgoing aura immediately rose sharply, expressing joyful sword sounds.

Shen Luo's tense face finally relaxed, continuing to stimulate the Array and Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

A few thick Red Sword Qi were shot out again, slashing towards the Red Lotus Karmic Fire above.

Time passed, and half a month passed quickly.

Outside the Refinery Room in the Small Courtyard, the gray-robed man paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety.

Although Ma Xiuxiu used her connections to allocate this refinery room for Shen Luo's use, the Treasure Hall suddenly received a large order for refining instruments recently, requiring the repossession of this refinery room.

Through coaxing and persuading, he managed to convince the people at the refinery workshop to extend by a few days, but the urgency from them increased, and it was already no longer possible to delay it further.

“I would have never taken up this task if I knew earlier.” The gray-robed man was filled with regret.

He had seen Ma Xiuxiu's exceptional attention towards Shen Luo when they met twice. Therefore, he took up the task of arranging the refinery room for Shen Luo from Ma Xiuxiu.

The gray-robed man thought he could show off in front of Ma Xiuxiu through this task, but unexpected complications occurred.

“I will wait for another one hour. If he still doesn't come out, I will have to force my way in.” The gray-robed man made up his mind.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the closely shut large door of the refinery room suddenly resounded with a muffled bang, slowly opened, and out came a figure. It was Shen Luo.

However, his face looked pale and foreboding, his cheeks were somewhat hollowed, and his body seemed to have lost a good deal of weight all of a sudden, yet his eyes were filled with excitement.

“Master Shen, you finally came out.” The gray-robed man welcomely exclaimed, his tone being a mix of surprise and relief, laced with a hint of grumbling.

“Oh, what happened?” Shen Luo raised an eyebrow.

“No, nothing, I was just worried something happened to you because you were in there for so long. You don't look too good, Is everything okay?” The Gray-robed man responded, hastily explaining.

“No problem. I was just refining a magical instrument and consumed quite a bit of vitality. These days, I've been using your Treasure Hall's refining room. Has it caused any delay in your business?” Shen Luo, who was quick-witted, said, sensing the uneasiness of the gray-robed man.

“No, not at all.” The gray-robed man hurriedly shook his head.

“That's good, I've already handled my affairs. You can take back this refinery room and give it back to your esteemed pavilion.” Shen Luo nodded, remarking.

“Yes, I will inform the people in the refining workshop to come and take it right away.” The gray-robed man immediately stated.

Shen Luo did not continue to stay there and quickly took his leave.

This place was the refining workshop of the Treasure Hall, a secret place. He, being a stranger, should not stay here.

The gray-robed man, on the other hand, was all too eager. After returning the refinery room to the workshop, he escorted Shen Luo out of the place and then sent him back to Changping Alley in a carriage.

“Brother Sun Tong, please pass on my thanks to Miss Ma.” Shen Luo said to the gray-robed man.

“I will definitely deliver the message, Young Master, rest assured.” The gray-robed man immediately replied, then drove away.

Shen Luo watched him leave, turned around and entered the alley. He quickly returned to his residence.

After closing the courtyard door, Shen Luo came to the courtyard, took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh.

With a “whoosh” sound, a red light streaked out, hanging in front of him. It was a short sword, more than a foot in length. The body of the sword was crimson all over, and its surface flashed an extremely pure red light.

An incomparably sharp sword intent spread from the sword body, wrapping around an area several yards around the pure Yang sword embryo like a burning sun.

If any external forces invaded this range, just a thought from him, and the short sword would instantly burst forth to counterattack.

Shen Luo looked at the crimson short sword before his eyes, a slight smile tugged at his lips.

Half a month of hard work was not in vain, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo was finally refined without any errors.

“Go!”

He made a gesture from the Pure Yang Sword Canon, and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo flew out instantly, gracefully swirling and dancing around the courtyard, every movement completely in line with his intention, like an extra arm out of thin air.

“This Pure Yang Sword Embryo is the magical instrument of my life essence, refined from my blood, indeed different from other magical instruments,” he muttered to himself, his gaze falling on a corner of the courtyard.

There were several large stones arranged there into a false mountain, one piece of blue stone standing tall, as thick as a millstone and more than one person high, looking extremely smooth and sturdy.

Shen Luo made a sword gesture and pointed into the air.

The Pure Yang Sword Embryo instantaneously transformed into a red streak, more than thirty feet long, zipped forward like a bolt of lightning.

He initially thought that his Mother-Child Sword, Jade Green Ruyi, and other magical instruments had extremely fast attack speeds. But compared to the sword rainbow made by the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, they were greatly inferior.

The difference between the two was like a hare versus an eagle, the hare might run fast, but it was still greatly inferior to the eagle soaring in the sky.

The crimson sword light flashed across, instantly bridging a distance of more than ten yards, shot out towards the blue giant stone in the courtyard corner, and sliced it across the middle.

With a “hiss” sound, like tearing a thick piece of paper.

The giant stone, thick as a millstone, was instantly split into two halves at an angle, the top half slid slowly and landed on the ground with a “thud.”

The cutting edge of the stone was smooth as a mirror, as if polished.

Not only that, but the other two stones near the blue one were also cleaved, and the ground behind the false mountain was cut, leaving behind an extremely long, narrow slash. It was so deep and dark that one couldn't see the bottom.

Seeing this, Shen Luo could not hide the joy on his face.

The strength demonstrated in this strike of the Pure Yang Sword Embryo exceeded that of the Mother-Child Sword, reaching the level of a top-grade magical instrument.

According to the records in the Pure Yang Sword Canon, the power of a newly refined Pure Yang Sword Embryo is limited and requires nourishment from internal mana over the years to gradually strengthen.

But his Pure Yang Sword Embryo was different. It was integrated with a large amount of Red Lotus Karmic Fire, so even though it was just refined, it demonstrated great power, comparable to a top-grade magical instrument.

And this was without stimulating the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within the sword embryo. If he were to engage the Red Lotus Karmic Fire inside the sword body, its power would be much greater than what a magical instrument level can restrict.

After all, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was heavenly fire. Capable of incinerating souls, it was extremely peculiar.

If used correctly and unexpectedly, not even Nascent Soul Stage beings can necessarily withstand it.

After testing the power of the sword embryo, Shen Luo still hadn't stopped. He raised his hand and beckoned.

The red flying sword at the corner of the courtyard disappeared in a flash. The next moment, a flash of red light beside his hand, and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo manifested out of thin air, like a ghostly specter.

He made a gesture, and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo released a crimson sword rainbow again, wrapping around his body.

He instantly soared into the air, flying up into the sky.
