The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 500

Chapter 500: 496 Chapter 500: 496 Shen Luo's face looked as if it had been cut by a knife and his breath stopped, greatly taken aback. With a tilt of his head, he narrowly escaped the palm strike, while simultaneously his feet glowed with Moonlight Glamour, swiftly moving to the side.

With a “bang”, Lu Huaming's palm strike hit the wall behind, drilling a big hole in the brick and stone masonry wall, and the furniture inside the house was shaken and tossed around like falling leaves.

Shen Luo was utterly shocked as the power of Lu Huaming's blow was several times greater than his usual strength.

“Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?” He shouted loudly.

Yet, Lu Huaming seemed not to hear, a white light enveloped his whole body, and with a “whoosh”, he disappeared.

Seeing this, Shen Luo, in haste again deployed slanting moon steps to move horizontally to the side. But as his figure started moving, Lu Huaming appeared ghostly in front of him, trailing a long white tail light behind him.

Lu Huaming swung his arm like a sword, slashing horizontally towards Shen Luo.

A vast white light shot out from his arm, filling the entire room, sweeping towards Shen Luo with the force of a sweeping army.

Wherever the white light passed, everything was cleaved in two, even more fierce than sword aura.

Shen Luo's face turned pale, urgently retreating back and his two hands were swung violently.

Yellow and green lights flashed, and the jade-green Ruyi and the Golden Immortal Armor appeared simultaneously, with a grand radiance, confronting the white light.

A massive sound of metal collision exploded!

The jade-green Ruyi and Golden Immortal Armor were both blown away, rolling several times, and Shen Luo's body was also severely shaken. He staggered back two steps, but the fierce white light was shattered.

But without allowing him a moment's respite, Lu Huaming appeared ghostlike behind him.

Lu Huaming's arm showed an even brighter white light than before, slashing out once more forcefully.

Without the luxury of astonishment, Shen Luo swung his hands once more.

A small yellow seal appeared spinning behind him, under the shimmering yellow light, and with a “rumble” five earth-yellow coloured mountain peaks condensed and appeared, radiating the majestic aura of a mountain range, barely indistinguishable from real peaks.

Upon reaching the Soul Condensation Stage, the Five Mountains Seal, a Top-Grade magical artifact, has finally begun to exert its power.

Just as the five mountain peaks were forming, the white light shot out and harshly slammed into the five peaks.

A huge bang!

The seemingly indestructible Five Mountains Seal was cut with a deep and prolonged groove, nearly piercing halfway through the mountain body.with countless cracks appearing on it, rapidly widening.

With shock in Shen Luo's heart, he turned around like a flash of lightning, his hands pressing on the mountain peaks, mana rushing and pouring into them from his body.

A layer of yellow light lit up on the Five Mountain Peaks, the cracks stopped spreading and the wobbling mountain body began to stabilize.

As the white shadow flickered behind him, Lu Huaming appeared, the white light on his arm, becoming even more intense, nearly submerging half of his body, emitting an aura that was several times stronger.

Shen Luo's face showed a look of horror as he turned back.

However, before he could turn around, Lu Huaming raised his arm, the white light surging, forming a soaring giant sword, preparing to strike.

Cold sweat broke out on Shen Luo's forehead, the red sword radiance in his right hand flourished, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo emerged, and a ball of Red Lotus Karmic fire roared to life.

At the same time, a flash of silver appeared in his left hand, revealing the Silver Jade.

The Pure Yang Sword Embryo and the Silver Jade are both offensive magical instruments and are not good at defense. Yet, the Green Jade Ruyi and the Golden Immortal Armor had been shaken away, and the Five Mountain Seals could not be used in this situation. He could only muster all his strength to resist this attack.

At that moment, Lu Huaming's body suddenly stiffened, his hollow eyes began to glow, and the white light around his body rapidly dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo was silently surprised, but he didn't dare loosen his concentration.

A few breaths later, Lu Huaming had fully recovered.

He looked at the devastated room, and the beleaguered Shen Luo, dumbfounded.

“Brother Shen, are you alright?” Lu Huaming rushed over to Shen Luo, saying apologetically.

Seeing that he had fully recovered, Shen Luo finally felt relieved. He put away the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and the Silver Jade, also reclaiming the shaken Green Jade Ruyi and the Five Mountain Seals, then he said, “I'm fine. Brother Lu, what happened to you just now? You seemed to have turned into another person.”

Lu Huaming lowered his head, a puzzled look on his face.

“Since Brother Lu evidently has something hard to say, let's leave it at that.” Shen Luo didn't press him any further, waving dismissively.

“Actually, there isn't anything I deliberately want to hide. Besides, I almost hurt Brother Shen, and I need to explain.” Lu Huaming raised his head and said with a candid smile.

“My body behaves unusually. Sometimes after I fall asleep, I dream of many strange things and become another person with great strength.” Before Shen Luo could respond, Lu Huaming carried on.

“Become another person in a dream?” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo was taken aback. This was somewhat similar to his own situation.

“Yes, and once I have such a dream, my body in reality will be out of my control, acting on its own. Sometimes it will do like just now, attack people around me, and expresses power far beyond my own.” Lu Huaming said bitterly.

“How could that be? Does Duke Cheng know about this?” Shen Luo asked.

“My master doesn't fully understand why this happens to me either, so I can only try to avoid sleep as much as possible, and when it's necessary, I would avoid people when I sleep. However, due to the continuous fighting in the Yinling Mountain Tomb over the past few days without rest, I got back and drank some wine, unknowingly fell asleep. I didn't realize you were here, Brother Shen. My apologies.” Lu Huaming apologized once more.

“It's nothing, no wonder Duke Cheng doesn't allow you to drink wine. So that's why.” Shen Luo patted the dust off his body and laughed.

Lu Huaming awkwardly scratched his head.

“Alright, let's not talk about this. Just now, Duke Cheng sent someone to call us into a meeting. We better hurry.” Shen Luo said.

“We should hurry, my master hates it when people are late!” Lu Huaming hastily responded.

The two tidied their appearance. Ignoring the mess in the house, they hurriedly stepped outside.

They had a big fight in the house, Shen Luo thought there would be many Great Tang Dynasty Government personnel outside, wondering how to explain the situation. But astonishingly, there was not a single person outside.

Not only that, but when he came outside, he saw the situation more clearly. Despite the house being thoroughly ransacked during their fight, from the outside, Lu Huaming's residence seemed almost unscathed.

“To prevent the loss caused by the uncontrollable actions of my body when I fall asleep, the four exterior walls of this residence were built with special materials, and several prohibitions were applied. So any noise we make inside doesn't escape this place.” Lu Huaming commented on Shen Luo's confusion, explaining.

“I see.” Shen Luo finally understood.

After that, the two of them left the residence and quickly arrived at the main hall of the Great Tang Dynasty Government, which they had visited once before.

The furnishings here were the same as they were before, but on the main seat, apart from Cheng Yaojin, the senior from the yellow wood was also present.

Shen Luo and Lu Huaming rushed forward to greet them.
