The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 523

Chapter 523: Chapter 519: Annihilation Chapter 523: Chapter 519: Annihilation While Shen Luo repelled the black needle, he was shaken to the core.

Ever since his Golden Immortal Armor was destroyed, and as he didn't have a strong defensive magical instrument at his disposal, he always felt a sense of trepidation during battles. Hence, he intentionally hid the jade-green ruyi on his back as a contingency plan.

Moreover, by transforming his meridians in both hands into magic veins, he was able to activate the jade-green ruyi at high speed. Otherwise, the outcome would be unthinkable.

Shen Luo came to an abrupt halt without turning around and thrust his hand backward.

Bathed in brilliant light, the jade-green ruyi shot towards Nu Chuan like a shooting star.

Under the dazzling glow of the jade-green ruyi, the armguard on his right hand also flung out, heading towards Nu Chuan.

Surprised at first, Nu Chuan quickly regained her composure and waved both hands in front of her.

A flash of pitch-black light later, a black gold iron plate appeared in front of her, clashing with the jade-green ruyi.

A resounding explosion was followed by the dazzling release of green and black lights, the nearby void stirring with a violent wind.

The black light on the black gold iron plate was so intense that it managed to defend against the impact of the jade-green ruyi.

Nu Chuan heaved a sigh of relief and was about to retreat.

Suddenly, a white light flashed from under the black gold iron plate, a girl in a white dress materialized out of thin air, her whole body sprawled on the ground and she vomited something.

A beam of lightening-like white light shot out of her mouth towards Nu Chuan.

They were less than ten feet apart. Nu Chuan had no time to react when she was struck by the white light, which seeped into her in an instant.

A white glow surfaced all over Nu Chuan's body, with a soft 'poof' sound, she immediately transformed into a white starfish, lying motionless on the ground.

Upon White Star's advancement to the Soul Condensation Stage, her ability to transform at a much faster pace greatly shortened the transformation time of the target.

The series of exchanges seemed complex, but they all transpired in the blink of an eye.

Daoist Master Cangmu and Qian Tong, who were about to launch a surprise attack on Shen Luo from their concealed location, were taken aback by the sight of Nu Chuan transforming into a starfish, their mid-air rush faltered for a moment.

“So it's you two!” Shen Luo saw the two men, gave a cold snort, and pressed his hand forward.

A yellow mountain-shaped seal shot out of his hand and flew above the two men's heads, illuminating a yellow glow.

There was a muffled 'boom,' and five phantom-like mountain peaks appeared, which solidified into a large mountain shaped like a hand and plummeted down towards them.

A terrifying force, seemingly capable of crushing the sky, suddenly swooped down. Although the Five Finger Mountain had not fallen yet, it caused a pull in both men's bodies.

It was only then that Daoist Master Cangmu and Qian Tong recovered their senses. They roared furiously and immediately took action.

Qian Tong swung his right hand and a streak of golden light shot out from his sleeve. It was the same golden ingot magical tool from earlier.

The golden ingot swelled in the wind and became the size of a house, meeting the Five Finger Mountain head-on. The resultant clash caused a deafening explosion, with both gold-colored and normal light flashing violently. The golden ingot immediately showed signs of collapse, progressively pressed downwards.

By now, Daoist Master Cangmu had also completed his spell. His hands radiated a dark cyan light and he pressed them against the void above.

Two muffled 'hums' later, two cyan-coloured giant palms the size of houses emerged, entwined with numerous cyan runes. The palms each bore an image of the Yin and Yang Fish, pressing against the base of Five Finger Mountain.

The two cyan-coloured giant palms erupted with a force greater than the golden ingot, the nearby void appeared to be trapped and all air currents, along with the fluctuations of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, came to a halt.

The Falling Mountain was shockingly held back, stopped in its tracks.

“You do have some skills,” Shen Luo grunted in a low voice, his hands pressing on the mountain, channeling all the mana from his nine magic veins into the Five Finger Mountain.

The Falling Mountain glowed with a brilliant yellow light, rapidly growing in size as the might emanating from it surged.

The cyan-colored giant palms and the golden ingot began to sway again, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Daoist Master Cangmu's face changed, an outburst of blue light sparkled from his hands and the two cyan-colored giant palms quickly grew in size.

However, a white figure appeared behind him – it was White Star, and she inched her mouth to heal.

A beam of white light shot out, reaching Daoist Master Cangmu's back in an instant.

Fully absorbed in resisting the Falling Mountain, Daoist Master Cangmu had no means of paying attention to anything else. He was struck head-on by the white light, and his protective light failed to stop the penetrating white light.

A flash of white light transformed him into a white starfish in an instant, just like Nu Chuan. The two cyan-colored seals collapsed simultaneously.

Upon seeing this scene, Qian Tong's face dramatically changed.

Without Daoist Master Cangmu's assistance, he couldn't resist the Falling Mountain alone. The golden ingot's glow quickly collapsed and disintegrated.

“Impossible! How could your strength have increased so much in such a short…” Qian Tong channeled all his mana into the golden ingot, but it was to no avail. A scream of horror was the last thing that escaped his lips.

Unfortunately, he couldn't finish his words as the Falling Mountain crushed everything, its rumbling echoing relentlessly.

With a thunderous 'boom,' the Five Finger Mountain fell heavily onto the ground, creating a deep pit. Daoist Master Cangmu and Qian Tong were crushed beneath it.

The ground in the vicinity shook violently, causing many buildings to collapse. It was as if an Earth Dragon had turned over, raising a cloud of dust.

A slight smile crept onto Shen Luo's face; by opening up nine magic veins, his strength was not inferior to Daoist Master Cangmu, who was at the mid-stage of Soul Condensation. With the aid of the top-tier magical artifact – Five Mountains Seal, and the mysterious abilities of White Star, it was only logical that they easily defeated the trio.

As his Divine Sense scanned beneath the mountain, his expression suddenly darkened and he pointed out a spell.

The giant mountain shrunk rapidly amidst the flickering yellow light, in merely a few breaths, it transformed back into a yellow seal and returned to his sleeve.

A large pit was visible on the ground, at the center of which were two mangled corpses, presumably Daoist Master Cangmu and Qian Tong.

Daoist Master Cangmu had reverted to his human form, but both their bodies had been completely pulverized. The storage magical tools they had carried were destroyed by the Five Mountains Seal, turning everything inside to dust.

“Who would have thought that the Five Mountains Seal could be so powerful that it could even shatter storage magical tools. I need to be more careful when using this seal in the future, otherwise it would be too wasteful,” Shen Luo mourned over the loss.

The belongings of any Soul condensing cultivator would not be meager, so to have lost everything in this way was a pity indeed.

Fortunately, Qian Tong's golden ingot magical tool was of tough material, having survived and was firmly embedded in the ground nearby, looking undamaged.

Shen Luo waved his hand and released a blue light, rolling the golden ingot magical tool towards him and activated the Ninety-nine Treasure Refining Tactics.

The golden ingot was indeed undamaged, and its prohibitions had been perfectly preserved. It was a top-grade magical instrument with a nine-layer restriction, which no wonder could somewhat resist the Five Mountains Seal.

Having gained another top-tier magical instrument, his frustration eased a bit.
