The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 508

Chapter 508: 504 Chapter 508: 504 As soon as Shen Luo entered the water, he released his Divine Sense, which became even more acute, aided by the abundant water attribute spiritual energy. He quickly found a trace of the deer-headed ghost and followed it stealthily from the bottom of the lake.

After walking in the lake for more than half a two-hour period, the ghost suddenly turned into a reed thicket and entered a river channel.

Shen Luo followed it and walked up the river channel for hundreds of steps, unexpectedly arriving in a private garden.

Knowing he must be close to his destination, he withdrew his Divine Sense, suppressed the mana fluctuations on his body, and carefully followed into the garden.

The river channel went through the mansion, and a section of it was expanded into a scenic pond within the private garden. There was an open area by the lake, facing a tall theater building.

As expected, the deer-headed ghost reached the shore of the pond, came straight out of the water and went ashore, and then went onto the open square next to it.

Shen Luo, looking carefully through the water at his surroundings, saw many weeds growing around the lake, and the tall theater building seemed a bit dilapidated, with fallen leaves everywhere. It was evident that this mansion seemed to have been abandoned.

“What's going on? Why has he run back here?” Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded.

Shen Luo quickly looked over and saw a short and fat middle-aged man wearing a red brocade robe. He was standing in front of the deer antler ghost, looking at it with an expression of doubt on his face.

“Could it be that he encountered a powerful enemy and instinctively fled back here?” Another voice sounded.

A tall woman dressed in a green satin robe also walked into Shen Luo's vision. Her body was slim and graceful, and her features were pretty. However, her exposed arms were covered with a layer of dark green scales, which were a bit alarming.

As they spoke, the woman's phoenix eyes suddenly turned and swept toward the small lake.

Shen Luo subconsciously sank his body, retracted his breath, and sank to the bottom of the water like a hard stone, remaining motionless.

After waiting for a while, when there was no sound outside, he floated up a little and looked towards the lakeshore. However, there was no one there anymore.

Shen Luo frowned slightly and began to move towards the lakeshore.

When he reached the lakeshore, he slowly surfaced, crouching down and glancing into the distance.

Just tens of feet away from him in the square, two people were sitting facing each other. In front of them was an altar formation that was over three feet high, surrounded by dark red skulls. The formation was about ten feet in diameter and was shaped like a round Taiji diagram.

In the center of the altar sat a small Corpse Pile, made out of nine bloody human heads. Four triangular dark red flags were inserted around it, each painted with strange black runes.

The two people sitting outside the altar were the previously seen short and fat middle-aged man and tall woman. Both were forming magic spells with their hands and continuously conducting mana into the four small flags beside the Corpse Pile.

As the flags fluttered, a large amount of black fog surged out, forming a spinning black fog vortex in the center of the formation.

Various shapes of ghosts flew out from the vortex.

After these ghosts landed, they began to wander aimlessly. But before they could go far, beams of blood light flew out from the Corpse Pile made of human heads and hit these ghosts in the center of their foreheads.

The ghosts, which appeared to be unsteady and disorientated, suddenly had their eyes glowing red and their vicious aura rose dramatically. They dispersed towards the surroundings, with quite a few directly jumping into the river, heading towards various parts of the city along the river channel.

At this moment, how could Shen Luo not understand that this place was probably the root cause of ghosts suddenly appearing in various parts of the city?

However, judging from what he had seen on the way, there appeared to be more than one of these altar formations summoning ghost in the city.

Shen Luo carefully observed the mana fluctuations on these two people and found that they were only at the Late Grain Avoidance stage. He hesitated as to whether he should take actions to destroy this formation directly.

If he could capture these two people alive, that would be even better.

Just then, a sense of alarm suddenly surged in Shen Luo's heart, and his Divine Sense swiftly revealed his surroundings. He instantly realized that hundreds of mana fluctuations were coming from the surrounding underwater area; he was surrounded by hundreds of ghosts at the center.

“Damn, I've been discovered.” Shen Luo muttered before he no longer hid himself. He burst forth, ready to rush out of the water surface.

“Daoist friend, this is not your way…” A loud shout echoed from above.

A thin and frail old man in a gray-white Taoist robe appeared above Shen Luo, raising his foot to stomp down heavily.

Swiftly, a green radiance fluctuated above, forming a huge green footprint that was tens of feet in radius plummeting down, and an earth-shattering force crashed violently.

Shen Luo had just emerged from the water when he felt a strong pressure falling from above. He rushed to swing his arm which was charged with incredible Mana and strike upwards.

The fist rushed towards the sky, causing earth-shattering waves underneath and turning into a blue giant fist made of water that crashed into the huge green footprint.

A resounding “boom” echoed throughout the area!

The blue giant fist exploded upon impact, scattering countless water vapors that turned into a downpour.

Shen Luo's figure, dropping like a meteor, smashed into the water surface causing huge water waves. His back heavily slammed against a rock, yielding an involuntary groan, as he was pressed to the bottom of the lake by the force of the kick.

“Mid-stage Soul Condensation cultivator…” Shen Luo's heart paused uncomfortably before he immediately formed a Water Repelling Technique again.

The moment the surrounding blue light screen cage formed, the surrounding water currents began to circle back. The incoming tide carried hundreds of Yin Sha ghosts, all glaring at Shen Luo as they charged towards him.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo scoffed, chanting softly while he quickly formed a weird technique with one hand, as the other one raised a peculiarly strong blue light.

“Cut.” he mouthed a low command with his raised hand chopping towards the front.

A brilliant blue light surged from his hand and formed a semi-circular arc in the raging tide.

The surging waves suddenly paused as an incredible blue light shone through like daylight, revealing itself before Shen Luo.

At the appearance of this blue light, a massive fissure surprisingly opened in the surging water, which continued to expand until it split the entire lake into two halves.

The ghosts in the water were also suppressed by this Water-splitting Technique, and were struggle to break out from the water.

Shen Luo, standing on a rock at the bottom of the lake, wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth as the sound of chanting resonated again.

In the next instant, waves stirred up on both sides of the lake. Two water blades, the size of a millstone, emerged and swirled, generating a huge vortex in the split-open waters on both sides.

Hundreds of ghosts were swept into it. Under the tear of the mighty forces, they turned into pieces.

Shen Luo slapped his Qiankun Bag tied to his waist, absorbing the surrounding Yin Sha Qi, and at the same time, he shouted, violently waving his hands towards the sky.

“Rumble…”

A burst of water churned up from the lake, and the massive vortex water blades soared into the sky, heading towards the suspended…
